A Bunch of Reviews All In One
So I have actually finished a bunch of books in the past few months or so, but just wasn't in the mood to write individual reviews for them (or on time, for that matter). I'm just going to blame my lack of motivation. And also, some of these books I just really have nothing to say about them? Like they were good, but that's all I have for you. Haha. But anyways here you go.
Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia
Publisher: Greenwillow Books
In the real world, Eliza Mirk is shy, weird, and friendless. Online, Eliza is LadyConstellation, anonymous creator of the wildly popular webcomic Monstrous Sea. Eliza can't imagine enjoying the real world as much as she loves her digital community, and has no desire to try.
Then Wallace Warland, Monstrous Sea's biggest fanfiction writer, transfers to her school. Wallace thinks Eliza is just another fan, and Eliza begins to wonder if a life offline might be worthwhile. But when Eliza's secret is accidentally shared with the world, everything she's built—her story, her relationship with Wallace, and even her sanity—begins to fall apart.
I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review. Quotes taken from ARC may or may not be in the published edition.
I really liked this one. Being a fan of Made You Up, I knew this one would be just as good. I thought that the online community of Monstrous Sea accurately reflected back on our own book community, and also other fandoms.
The only problem I had was that I got extremely impatient (in other words, this was my fault). I wanted to see how and when Eliza's secret would be exposed ASAP, so I skipped to the last 100 pages of the book. Basically, I read the first 150 pages, and the last 100 pages. To this day I have yet to read the middle. Whoops.
We also get to see how Eliza deals with her anxiety, especially with the stress of having to update every single week. And as of right now, it's really relatable! And we also meet her love interest, Wallace, which to be fair, I wasn't too big of a fan of. I think this was another reason why I have no interest in going back to read the middle. [Spoiler] Also once he found out Eliza's secret, he really pressured her into finishing the comic even though she didn't want to. He pretty much said to her "Hey I got this book deal to turn your comic into prose, but it's not official until you finish the series. So my life is in your hands, you have to do it asap." Like stop. Granted he realizes he's been an ass in the end, but boy did I want to smack him. [End spoiler]
I still absolutely loved this, however, and I immediately had to bother my friends once I finished the book.
The Edge of the Abyss by Emily Skrutskie
The Abyss Surrounds Us #2
Publisher: Flux Books
Date Read: 4/17/17 to 5/3/17
Three weeks have passed since Cassandra Leung pledged her allegiance to ruthless pirate-queen Santa Elena and set free Bao, the sea monster Reckoner she'd been forced to train. The days as a pirate trainee are long and grueling, but it's not the physical pain that Cas dreads most. It's being forced to work with Swift, the pirate girl who broke her heart. But Cas has even bigger problems when she discovers Boa is not the only a monster swimming free. Other Reckoners illegally sold to pirates have escaped their captors and are taking the NeoPacific by storm, attacking ships at random and ruining the ocean ecosystem. As a Reckoner trainer, Cas might be the only one who can stop them. But how can she take up arms against the creatures she used to care for and protect? Will Cas embrace the murky morals that life as a pirate brings or perish in the dark waters of the NeoPacific?
I finished this such a long time ago, that I don't remember if I had anything I really needed to say about this. As the sequel to The Abyss Surrounds Us, I thought this was a solid continuation. I continued to love the characters, however I definitely felt that the first book had this sort of air around it that made it special.
OH there was a surprising death in this however! I really didn't expect it, and when it happened, I was like "wow". Also compared to the previous book, you start to sympathize with the pirates on the ship, like Captain Elena.
Also, I think this is a duology? I'm so used to trilogies, that I was honestly surprised with the very clean ending. But hey I approve haha.
Midnight at the Electric by Jodi Lynn Anderson
Source: Edelweiss
Kansas, 2065 Adri has been handpicked to live on Mars. But weeks before Launch, she discovers the journal of a girl who lived in her house over a hundred years ago, and is immediately drawn into the mystery surrounding her fate. While Adri knows she must focus on the mission ahead, she becomes captivated by a life that's been lost in time…and how it might be inextricably tied to her own.
Oklahoma, 1934 Amidst the fear and uncertainty of the Dust Bowl, Catherine longs for the immortality promised by a professor at a traveling show called The Electric. But as her family's situation becomes more dire -- and the suffocating dust threatens her sister's life -- Catherine must find the courage to sacrifice everything she loves in order to save the one person she loves most.
England, 1919 In the recovery following World War One, Lenore tries to come to terms with her grief for her brother, a fallen British soldier, and plans to sail to America in pursuit of a childhood friend. But even if she makes it that far, will her friend be the person she remembers, and the one who can bring her back to herself?
While their stories spans thousands of miles and multiple generations, Lenore, Catherine, and Adri's fates are entwined in ways both heartbreaking and hopeful.
Even though I was expecting more of a story from Adri's perspective, because the future is cool and all, I still enjoyed Midnight at the Electric. More so than I thought I would. The premise of having a story within a story within a story, all tied together, was unique in a kind of way.
"I think that's what you say when you can't have something you want, isn't it? You say you don't want it in the first place."
But other than that, I don't really have much else to say about this. The plot itself wasn't very engaging, and honestly, I had really high expectations after reading Tiger Lily. I guess it really doesn't help that I love Peter Pan, but not so much the history of the Dust Bowl. Oh well!

One of the best things about games like Vampyr are the stories that are associated with the characters. The lore is perhaps one of the main reasons for some vampire aficionados to play the game and thus you will need to find it using help from this Vampyr Documents Locations Guide.
Our Vampyr Documents Locations Guide will tell you the locations of all 30 of the Lore Documents so that you do not have to tirelessly search for them when playing the game.
There are a total of 30 different places where the Lore Documents are found. All of the Lore Documents are available with 2 others, meaning that there are a total of 90 Documents for you to find.
We will go through each of them in a chronological order so that you can easily locate them. Finding all of these Lore Documents will make you a holder of the Lore Keeper Achievement/Trophy.
Lore Documents are the main Lore Documents that you will find in the game and you will probably not have to deviate too far from the Main Story to find them.
Also, be sure to check out our Choices and Consequences Guide and Weapons Locations Guide.
The first Lore Document is found in the Prologue in the opposite corner of the room where you find shelter.
The second warehouse will have a corpse that contains a Lore Document.
Look at the room Thomas Elwood is in; the Lore Document is on one of the desks.
Dr. Edgar Swansea's office on the 2nd floor of the hospital will contain one of the Lore Documents.
Another Lore Document will be found on a corpse in the sewer section near the hospital.
Another Lore Document can be found in the Safehouse near the Dispensary. Go to the Whitechapel Safehouse and enter the room with the 'Keep Out' sign. Here, kill both of the enemies and get the Lore Document.
The house with Harry Peterson inside it has a Lore Document on the 2nd floor.
The room that has Harriet in the Mine Area has a Lore Document.
The Night Asylum has a Lore Document on the boxes outside of its wooden fence. Head to the gate that leads to the North Docks region to find the boxes.

Once you have visited Ascalon, you can head east to the Lost Library and find a Lore Document in the drawer of the 2nd floor.
A corpse behind the Whitechapel Theatre will also have a Lore Document.
Defeating boss Leon Augustin will get you the first Lore Document of the chapter.
Find a Lore Document where you find the citizen that goes by the name 'Usher' right after you exit the sewers after the previous fight.
The basement of the theatre will have another Lore Document for you by your second visit.
Kill a beast in the Foundry Buildings in Southwark to get a key and use it on the 2nd floor of the second building to get a Lore Document.
Mason's house to the West of the Graveyard has another Lore Document.
Complete a side mission for Usher and do not read his journal in the safe for another Lore Document.
Find a Lore Document on a corpse inside of the sewers. Look for it next to the hideout that is far east near the Graveyard.
A Lore Document is found at the Martin Nightingale NPC in the Shelter of the Docks. You need to purchase it.
Look for a Lore Document in the hideout directly south of the hospital. You can get the key from Mortimer at the Hospital since it is his house.
Move left to the blue circle left of the letter 'H' of the Hospital on the map to find a Lore Document on the hideout.
A Lore Document is found in a straw box when going to Harriet in the sewers.
The final Lore Document is found in a Guard Outpost of the Priven in Whitechapel. Do a side-quest for Thelma to get here. Thelma can be found in the hospital.

Q: 2d array where dimensions are not known until runtime I am writing a function where it reads in the files and store characters in a 2 dimensional array. I want this to be a global variable as I want multiple functions outside of the main method to be able to access it, but the dimensions cannot be set until after I've read the file, so what would the be approach in doing this. I've read a fair few posts in stack overflow before asking this question, but I'm still confused/ the questions don't help me with this specific problem.
(I am restricted to using the libraries/functions available with ANSI c)

A: You want to use malloc:
int i;
t_data * rows;
t_data ** array;

// Allocate the 2d array as a dynamic 1d array of pointers to rows
array = malloc(sizeof(t_data *) * num_rows);

// Allocate each row as a dynamic 1d array of t_data
for ( i = 0; i < num_rows; i++ )
    array[i] = malloc(sizeof(t_data) * num_cols);

Here, t_data is the data type of the data you want to store (for each array element), num_rows is the read number of rows, and num_cols is the read number of columns.
You can access elements via array[i][j].
When you're done with the array, you free it "in reverse":
for ( i = 0; i < num_rows; i++ )
    free(array[i]);

free(array);

A: Anything that needs 'dynamic' sizing in C, will require the use of pointers, malloc(), free(), and related tools.  Do a search online (or in a book, if you have one) for dynamic memory allocation.
Note though that this is a fairly broad topic (with associated learning curves and pitfalls), so if you come back with some code that you've implemented, we can help better with any directly related issues.

A: You would need a pointer type, for example uchar*. Then at runtime, when you know the dimensions m x n, you would need to use malloc, like:
uchar *matrix = (uchar*)malloc(m * n * sizeof(uchar))

And then to navigate it you would use a function that takes into account strides:
int stride = m;
// for element (i,j)
matrix[i * stride + j];

On Canada Day, celebrate the spirit of dominion - Macleans.ca
On Canada Day, celebrate the spirit of dominion
Opinion: Decades ago, Canada Day was named Dominion Day—and it's a moment to recommit to strengthening the Canadian union
by Alastair Gillespie
Alastair Gillespie is a Canadian lawyer living in London, a Munk senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, and author of the five-part "Confederation Series," available here.
In 1982, Dominion Day officially slipped into history, when an almost empty parliament acknowledged a change that was already in common parlance: that the first of July is Canada Day.
Yet Canada Day could benefit from a revival of our national holiday's original civic purpose. Amid suggestions the national celebrations in Ottawa have come adrift—with Maclean's own Paul Wells telling Canadians to stay home—why not reinvigorate Canada Day as a celebration of the Canadian union?
READ MORE: The splendor and the slop of Canada Day
Dominion Day retains some historic resonance not just because of mere nostalgia, nor because of its alliterative quality, but because the Dominion for so long embodied the idea of Canadian union. The 1867 constitution speaks of a "Union" of the provinces—and "Dominion" was the name that embodied that union.
When the Fathers of Confederation met in London in 1866, there was literally no name or rank for the new Confederation. We might have been the Kingdom of Canada, or the United Provinces of Canada; both were given serious consideration. But in the end, the provinces formed "One Dominion under the Name of Canada."
The suggestion of Dominion was all-Canadian, from Samuel Tilley of New Brunswick, inspired by a beautiful phrase in the Book of Psalms: "He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth."
Today, the physical achievements of Canadian unionism are our most obvious inheritance from the old Dominion—union from sea to sea to sea, from Cape Spear to Vancouver Island, to Ellesmere in the high Arctic. From the streamliner cars of transcontinental trains, to the polished steel letterboxes of the Canada Mail, to the sombre monuments of our wars, artifacts of the Dominion of Canada abound.
Less well understood are the ideals of Canadian unionism that are an equally precious legacy of Dominion. Early Canadian diversity meant Canadian statecraft and politics had to expand the frontiers of what a country could be, forming a new nationality that bridged divides of national origin, language and religion. Like the United States, Canada has shared in the experience of building a great federation in the new world—but this Canada Day we are increasingly conscious that our shared national experiences are diverging.
Nearly two centuries ago, Alexis de Tocqueville observed that Americans have a passion for equality. And as former U.S. president James Madison wrote in The Federalist, stable government and lasting liberty could be secured "by comprehending in the society so many separate descriptions of citizens, as will render an unjust combination of a majority of the whole, very improbable, if not impracticable." These have been overruling features of both American and Canadian life. But Canada's search for equality has been shaped since the beginning by national, religious and other kinds of diversity that have found expression and defenders in our institutions and politics. Today, Canadians are composed of so many cross-cutting backgrounds, affinities and allegiances that it is impossible for any politician to appeal to prejudice and succeed in a national election.
READ MORE: A cross-country singalong of the national anthem on Canada Day
Canada's particular search for justice can be recognized in the hopes of our earliest statesmen for Canada's union, aspirations which bear a family resemblance to present day. Indeed, as George-Étienne Cartier asked: "How could someone possibly aspire to become a statesman worthy of the name, in our country, without being fully resolved beforehand to render equal justice to all races and creeds?" And Thomas D'Arcy McGee, the poet of Confederation, declared that "Justice between class and class, and Province and Province between creed and creed, between man and man, this must constitute the glory, the safety, and the strength of this new country."
To invoke and recall the icons and ideals of young Canada is also to recognize that our union is imperfect and incomplete. Cartier hoped for "a political nationality with which neither the national origin, nor the religion of any individual would interfere"—an ideal assuredly not yet realized. Canada's restless quests to redress historic injustices and to seek reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples reflect who we are, where we have fallen short, and who we want to be.
Canadian values are not enshrined in a Declaration of Independence. They live in the relations between our peoples, in our continuing search to do equal justice to all. Canada Day is a right and fitting moment to rededicate ourselves to the purposes of this great Dominion, and the better union of our peoples.
Dominion Day

Q: Android apps - html5 + cocoonjs doesnt work? i have a bunch of questions, so i hope you guys will give me a helping hand :)
I got a test app in HTML5 and used ludei/cocoonjs to get adroid app.
I tried to run it on AVD from ADT on Android 2.3/3.0/4.2 and all i got was "Sorry, application suddenly stopped".
So here are my questions:

*

*Is there any way to test android apps on PC machine using emulator?

*Will my app work on mobiles although it doesnt work on emulator? I tested it on my friend mobile and was working fine..

*What android version is ludei/cocoon compatible with?

*I want to buy a cheap smartphone to test my application, but im not decided yet, cause i cant runn apps on emulator. Do you think LG Swift L3 (Android 2.3.6) is enough to test C2 + Ludei apps?

Thanks in advance for answers and sorry for my english, im not native speaker/writer.

A: Actually you can get CocoonJS work with Emulator. I had some mailings with Ludei before to track down a JNI bug, here are come excerpts about how to start a compatible emulator. This was a few months ago, and also the version from 2013.07.26 with apk md5sum 55aa7f226b04d698382a604299357094, version 1.3 (although it is advertised to be 1.4).
The key part is the -gpu on switch, and optionally switching off JNI checks (for emulators / certain rooted devices):

*

*Updated SDK Tools to r21, Platform-tools to r16

*tools$ ./android create avd -n A15 -t android-15 #(can also make higher platform level emulator)

*tools$ ./emulator -avd A15 -gpu on

*platform-tools$ wget http://storage.cocoonjsservice.ludei.com/CocoonJSLauncher.apk

*(Optional) Remove previous version ./adb uninstall com.ideateca.cocoonjslauncher

*./adb install CocoonJSLauncher.apk

*./adb logcat

*Start app on emulator, observe logs

Optionally disable JNI checks to workaround CocoonJS bugs (if starting CocoonJS fails with JNI exception, something like "JNI WARNING: 0x412c40a8 is not a valid JNI reference"):
adb shell stop
adb shell setprop dalvik.vm.checkjni false
adb shell start

(then emulator/device restarts, after restart JNI checks are not made, source: http://developer.android.com/training/articles/perf-jni.html)
By the way, setting checkjni to true using the above method on a real non-rooted device also causes the problem, if you want to check.
Box2D, Sprite demo, Fonts demo works, didn't check others.

A: *

*An .apk generated on the cloud compiler of CocoonJS will not work on the emulator, you need a real device to test an .apk.

*CocoonJS is compatible with Android 2.3 - 4.x.

*LG Swift L3 is a very simple device to test a game, my advise is to try with a device with at least 512mb ram.

Regards

A: if you are using windows , perhaps you may find Intel xdk very helpful to run your simulations and the emulators are easy there for android .
speaking of testing the app in native environment , i found phonegap is nice and pretty simple , all you have to do is after uploading your zip file they general for you a .apk file which you can test in real device in any mobile store , you dnt have to buy a mobile to test your app , and if you do HUSTLE to go to nearest mobile shope test it there using scanning QR code from the adobe phonegap build.
And if you dnt want that , there is another platform to test your app via codepen.io it gives a really nice output in different size screen as you needed.

Dining Out: Astor Room: Classic cuisine remake at Kaufman Astoria
By Suzanne Parker Posted on April 29, 2011
Housed in the former commissary at Kaufman Astoria Studios, The Astor Room aims for a touch of silent-era style. Photo by Suzanne Parker
By Suzanne Parker
The not quite three-month-old Astor Room in Astoria has a lot going for it. It occupies the site of the original commissary of the studio built by Adolph Zuckor in 1920 which became Paramount Pictures. The building is now home to Kaufman Astoria Studios, where films and TV shows are still being made.
Its website invites patrons to "take a step back in time in our new restaurant that celebrates the glory of a bygone era in American and cinematic history. The Astor Room is our contemporary interpretation of the American supper club."
But which bygone era is it? The space is at the bottom of an Art Nouveau-wallpapered flight of stairs with a video screen showing silent film stars. The room itself, aside from a scattering of film photos, looks like it harkens back to the glory days of Beefsteak Charlie's, with half-height dark paneling and a brass rail dividing the bar from the dining area. More Seventies faux-Victorian than Jazz Age or film noir. The most atmospheric aspect of the experience was the live pianist playing classic tunes.
As much emphasis is placed on imbibing as dining here, and to that end, they employ a skilled mixologist who can whip up a cocktail with a movie industry-themed name or whatever you ask for. Their wine list is thoughtfully chosen, emphasizing domestic wines and hitting all price points, with some bargains to be had. Plenty of interesting brews, too.
The retro dinner menu is more Old American than New American. It channels fine dining experiences of the '50s and '60s. The table is laid with a wickedly cheesy soft roll and a more restrained platter of fennel sticks, radishes and olives. An amuse bouche of Chinese ceramic spoons filled with a rich puree of celery root topped with sun dried tomato confit lent a more contemporary note to the early arrivals.
Oysters Rockefeller were served over spinach with a pronounced cheddar flavor to the sauce and hardly a hint of Pernod — not quite the classic, but flavorful nonetheless. Crispy fried calamari was light and delicate and offset nicely by the charred tomato sauce. Finnan haddie was luxuriant and smoky in a garlic velouté with pancetta. The crab cake, served with Old Bay aioli, was what crab cakes used to be like before chefs got so fusiony with their crab cake accompaniments.
Sadly, even though we arrived for a 7 p.m. reservation, two of our first entrée choices were sold out. We had hoped to try their Thursday special, duck à l'orange, and their buttermilk fried chicken, but no dice.
We instead chose the Heritage Chicken Pot Pie. The pastry was flaky, the contents were chunky and plentiful, but the flavor of the sauce called to mind a small screen black and white TV. The chef must have been channeling Swanson's—not a bad thing if you're looking for nostalgia.
The double-cut Coca-Cola pork chop was tough, dry and not particularly caramelized. Salt-baked branzino with braised fennel, orange and golden grapes was a savory-sweet version of Veronique. Short rib stroganoff was nicely caramelized on the outside and rosy yet falling-apart tender internally. Truffled crème fraiche is served alongside, so that your conscience can be your guide to the level of richness — a nice touch.
All the desserts here are winners. You can't go wrong with any of them. The vanilla gelato that tops several of them is memorable for its intense vanilla flavor. The crepes suzette, filled with vanilla custard and topped with sautéed oranges and Grand Marnier, are a delicious time machine.
When it comes to service, like they say in the industry, they've got to get their act together. The pacing is uneven, and they make a lot of mistakes on orders. Hopefully they're on an upward curve, and things will only get better.
Its fun to give your taste buds a blast from the past. That the Astor Room is planning to be a music venue as well as an eatery makes it even more fun. Try a little nostalgia that melts in your mouth.

More than 40% of carbon dioxide emission in the U.S. results from electric power generation, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Partnering with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Southern Company developed and demonstrated a carbon capture storage technology capable of recovering carbon dioxide emissions up to 90%. The KM-CDR Process works by directing flue gas from a coal-fired boiler to a vessel, where the carbon dioxide reacts with advanced amine solvent. The amine solvent is directed towards another vessel, where it undergoes a heat process, liberating the carbon dioxide. The amine solvent is recirculated, while the carbon dioxide is compressed to 1,500 lbs per square inch, and funneled to a sequestration site 9,500 ft below the ground for permanent storage.

Our Gold Winner for the Green Tech R&D 100 Special Recognition Award is Sandia National Laboratories and the Univ. of New Mexico's CO2 Memzyme.
An environmental crisis is underway due to the increasing global demand for cheap, dependable electricity to support economic well-being and the fact that coal-fired power plants will continue to dominate global electricity generation will into the future. Coal-fired power plants are the leading producer of greenhouse gases (GHGs), currently accounting for nearly half of the 40 billion tons/yr of carbon dioxide emitted by human activities worldwide. Governments around the world have pledged to combat climate change by reducing carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector. Yet, lack of efficient carbon dioxide separation technologies hinder compliance. Sandia National Laboratories and the Univ. of New Mexico's CO2 Memzyme captures carbon dioxide from a gas mixture at high rates ( 2,600 GPU) and with high selectivity (>500 carbon dioxide vs. nitrogen molecules), surpassing a fundamental barrier in polymeric membrane technology and realizing the first technology that meets and exceeds the U.S. Dept. of Energy's target of <$30/ton for cost-effective carbon dioxide capture. The memzyme simultaneously produces nearly pure carbon dioxide (99%) for re-use. For more information on the technology, please visit page 33.

Q: How to delete constant in subclass? Let's say I have a class something like the following:
class PostSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):

  updated_at = serializers.DateTimeField()

  def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    init = super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
    return init

I want to create a subclass of the PostSerializer class and I'd like to remove the updated_at constant property from the subclass-ed class.
class PostWithoutUpdatedAtSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):

  # something to remove the updated_at property ?

  def somefunc(self);
    pass

I use a framework for example django so generally I cannot simply remove the property from the parent class, I need to subclass them. And of course obviously I need to "delete" the property, I cannot do updated_at = None, it's not a deleting.
How is it possible? Thanks.

A: It's not directly possible, since the attribute doesn't exist on your derived class at all (it does on the superclass), so there's nothing to remove or reassign.
Instead, the framework you're using (Django REST Framework, my magic ball tells me), uses a metaclass that inspects the class definition for field objects and puts them into cls._declared_fields on the class (along with any fields from the superclass(es)).
The real fields for your serializer instance are acquired by get_fields(), which by default just copies _declared_fields.
In other words, if your Django REST Framework serializer subclass should not serialize that field, customize get_fields():
def get_fields(self):
    fields = super().get_fields()
    fields.pop("updated_at", None)  # remove field if it's there
    return fields

I think your cover is really cool! A guy here in Texas makes mini-books. I would like to make a mini. BTW, I am ready for E3. I couldn't resist reading E0. Loved E1, but E2 was a little slow ( my fault) read. I liked how the prequel answered a lot of my questions. I am going to take my time with the series, because I hate for a good well written story to end. I will leave some reviews on Amazon. Do you you read the reviews on your books? I don't read many, cause I want to create my own opinion and mine is really the only one that matters Thanks for the neat story!
Hi, David! Thanks! I love making books. The mini books sound awesome. Maybe that's a project for the future! I think maybe it's the combination of art + books that really gets me. Two things I love.
I think the main thing about the reading order of The E Series is to read the prequel after the first book. I know a lot of people think it's important to wait, but I think it could be interesting in a lot of different orders– even reading the prequel to start out. I guess everyone will have a different experience based on how they choose to read it.
Thanks so much for the reviews. They help a lot! I try to read all my reviews, but I will be honest and say that I probably do miss some. It's really hard to keep up with them, these days! When I'm shopping for a book, on the other hand, I don't like to read reviews. I'll look at the star ratings, but I don't like spoilers. I don't like watching movie trailers, either! I like to go into a new story knowing absolutely nothing about what's going to happen.
You have got to see Jozsef Tari's mini book collection. I originally saw an interview he did on CBSDFW Channel 11.
That's so cool! I think I might have to make some tiny books!

Few students sign up for immunization booster shots
Only 36 of the nearly 500 District 60 middle-school students who did not have proof of measles, mumps and rubella booster shots in mid-November have brought permission slips and payment for immunization at schools.
Vaccinations will be given by Pueblo City-County Health Department nurses at each of six District 60 middle schools next week. Tuesday, the nurses will be at Roncalli, Corwin and Pitts. Wednesday they will be at Freed and Heaton, and Thursday, at Risley.
Friday was the deadline for parents of middle-school students to send payment and permission. Payment is not required, however, for students who don't have the money.
Finding the exact numbers of students who need immunization was complicated by illness among key workers at three middle schools on Friday.
The district sent letters to 370 families in late November informing parents again of the new law requiring the booster shots.
"Some letters came back, saying they have the immunization, but they didn't know they were supposed to turn the information in," said Marcie Bartley, District 60 health and physical education curriculum specialist. "Some parents said appointments were set up."
But she fears many students will not have the required immunizations by Jan. 4, when they will be excluded from school in accordance with the new law.
District 60 and the health department set up clinics at the schools to make it more convenient for parents to have their children immunized by the deadline.
Ms. Bartley expects to see as many as 60 students excluded from school when they come back from Christmas vacation because they have not submitted proof of immunizations.
Immunization clinics at the health department are full until Jan. 6, according to Jane Hollandsworth, pediatric nurse practitioner. Immunizations are done only by appointment.
"The vaccine is already ordered and we can't provide any more than 40 shots at all the schools," said Ms. Bartley. Only four extra shots were ordered.
The new law requires a second vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella because of serious measles epidemics among college students in recent years. Previously, vaccinations were required only of kindergarten pupils at enrollment.


I am brand new to this software and at this point I need this software to visualize the data generated from other program on the research basin.
What I want in the end is plotting data on the map like I did in Matlab(shown in Figure 2) but in a shape more like a basin instead of mosaic one. And also in Matlab all the drawings(600 pics in this case) can be saved without doing it manually once the coding is right. Can I do this in Arcmap? I guess there is a more straightforward way to import this data and interpret it smoothly like meteorological application.
And another alternative I think is out of Arcmap and with the help of photoshop I may be able to "cut" colored area into a basin shape and batch processing in PS for 600 or even more pics. But I don't want to go to this stage really as I have this professional software that is well applied in meteorology aspect.
I do not come here if I never tried to learn and solve it by myself. Since I am totally new to this software, please don't mind if I have asked any stupid questions.
thank you for your time and attention again.
Think you take the first step to get the points into ArcMap. The second will be how to find the right tool to interpolate the data.
I have tried to follow your suggestion and successfully import my dataset to the file file geodatabase and add the data to a layer in Arcmap. But now I have got some problems to move on.
In Arctoolbox(3D Analyst Tools>Raster Interpolation), IDW for example, it requires the input to be a "feature" file. To settle this, I tried by right click the table converted and select "Create feature class from XY table" and left "Z field" to be <none>(shown in Fig 3).
This step generated a .shp file and I used that as the input in IDW where I can select Z values to be data for any single month(shown in Fig 4).
*The interpolated area is defined by the rectangular edge of the sample data points, but I want this area to cover the whole basin shown in green, i.e., how can I extend the edge of the interpolation by a little bit to cover the whole basin?
*If I want to eliminate the color map of interpolation outside of the basin, what should I do?
*The procedure above only gave an interpolation for a single month, but in my project, there are over a thousand dataset. It is merely possible to plot them manually one by one. Is there a way for batch processing and then save every single picture by coding or whatever?
I will describe the procedure clearly for someone else having the same problem like me for a reference.
The Batch process, however, does not seem to work properly. In the table after clicking the "Batch" button, in every row I have to specify the data one by one, which is barely possible in this case because I have hundreds of dataset(months).
And the output of this batch process is not preferable, because it will draw different dataset(months) at the same time although in different layer. If I wanna look into a certain months, I have to unclick all the other months first. Could you please come up with a solution to this?
It is me again, I have finished my project and I want to share my experiences about batch processing and animation of results, here is my link: An example of visualizing spatial-temporal data in the ArcMap.
Thank you for your supports and hope this example can help others struggling similar problems.


I need a super fast data entry specialist that has google docs. Must type super fast and be able to follow directions and stay super organized.
I need you to be free for next 4 hours, as project starts right now.
I will require updates every 5-10 minutes.
Do good job and will keep you on my team for future work and long work.

Coming out to play
Rogers, Robbie.
New York : Penguin Books, [2014]
xii, 222 pages : color illustrations ; 21 cm
"Robbie Rogers knows better than most that keeping secrets can crush you. But for much of his life Robbie lived in paralyzing fear that sharing his big secret would cost him the love of his family and his career as a professional soccer player. So he never told anyone what was destroying his soul, both on and off the field. While the world around Robbie was changing with breathtaking speed, he knew that for a gay man playing a professional team sport it might as well be 1958. He could be a professional soccer player. Or he could be an out gay man. He couldn't do both. Then last year, at the age of twenty-five and after nearly stepping away from a brilliant career--one that included an NCAA Championship, winning the MLS Cup, and competing in the Olympics--he chose to tell the truth. But instead of facing the rejection he feared, he was embraced--by his family, by his teammates, and his fans. In Coming Out to Play, Robbie takes readers on his incredible journey from terrified teenager to a trailblazing out and proud professional soccer player for the L.A. Galaxy, who has embraced his new identity as a role model and champion for those still struggling with the secrets that keep them from living their dreams." -- Publisher's description.

2 Responses to Too Virtual?
Jim: Excellent thoughts and well presented! Couldn't agree with you more! In our work with companies to increase sales performance and overall organizational growth, we often find that face-to-face interaction with clients and prospects is markedly underutilized. Even when clients and prospects are local, businesses are not optimizing in-person conversations to increase trust and mutual understanding. Not only does face-to-face interaction drive more business, it also makes the work much more satisfying for all parties.
Heidi, thanks for reading and commenting. Your comment gets at the heart of the matter: face-to-face interaction simply makes work more satisfying! I like to think that is a basic tenet of human relationships (and business is all about relationships) that is not subject to generational or technological shifts.

Numero Group
The Numero Group is an archival record label founded in 2003 in Chicago, Illinois, and it is a dogged, obsessive faction in an ongoing war. Its mission is dirty and labor-intensive...and it's urgent as all hell. Time kills off precious bits of passed-over sound, story, and ephemera every day, just as fast as Numero can haul out of exile its sprawling treasury of under-heard recordings—along with the musicians, writers, and entrepreneurs who created them. With more than 150 titles in its diverse catalog of LPs, CDs, cassettes, 45s, 12"s, and DVDs, every Numero production is a modest miracle of localized sound creation, a shedding of fresh light on the efforts of men and women who sang, played, recorded, and peddled—largely to shallow rewards, if any.

Bingham refreshed by 'incredible' Romania trip ahead of UK campaign
STUART BINGHAM says he feels refreshed and ready for the Betway UK Championship after taking part in an 'incredible" exhibition event in Romania alongside Ronnie O'Sullivan.
Ball Run warmed up with two nights of best-of-nine matches with the Rocket in Bucharest ahead of the first Triple Crown event of the season in York this week.
The BBC-televised tournament runs between November 24 and December 6 at the York Barbican and No 1 seed Bingham starts against Northern Ireland amateur Jordan Brown at 2.30pm on Thursday, November 26.
Bingham said: "It was good to get a run of of high quality snooker against someone of Ronnie's class and in front of a big crowd. So I hope it will be good preparation for York.
"And I have made the semis at the UK Championships for the last two years – I lost to Ronnie last year and Neil Robertson the year before – so it is a competition I know I can do well in."
Bingham has just flown back from Romania, where he played five-time world champion O'Sullivan in front of a 2,000-capacity crowd at the Globus Circus venue. (You can watch the action on YouTube by clicking here).
The stars were kept busy signing autographs, chatting to fans and posing for photos throughout their stay, and Bingham admits it was one of the warmest welcomes he has ever had in any country.
He said: "It was an incredible trip from start to finish. It started with a man picking us up at the airport and a transfer to the hotel in a Jaguar. We also had our own bodyguard at all times, and he had a gun! Not that there was ever any trouble.
"They said tickets sold out quicker that an Elton John concert – 2,000 went in under an hour. And the venue was incredible, like a circus arena.
"It was just an unreal experience, but however good I say it was it was probably 20 times better than that. If I ever got the chance to do it again I would jump at the chance."
Bingham lost 5-4 on the first night against O'Sullivan and 5-3 on the second night, with Ball Run then winning two bonus frames. But the duo will be on the same team when they take part in the Dafabet Irish Legends Cup in Country Kildare on January 23-24. (Tickets are available by clicking here).
They will be on the England team alongside Jimmy White and Tony Knowles, as they face an Ireland side featuring Ken Doherty, Mark Allen, Joe Swail and Fergal O'Brien.
Bingham said: "It is straight after the Masters and I am looking forward to it. Ali Carter took part in it last year and he said it was brilliant so I'm sure it will be a good battle again with the Irish fellas."
At the start of November Bingham also helped snooker sponsors Betway with a specially-arranged match between two West Ham United football stars at the Grove Snooker Academy in Romford.
Dubbed the 'Boleyn Boys' Shoot-Out', it saw Essex-born defender Carl Jenkinson play big Geordie striker Andy Carroll. The winner got the chance to lift the UK Championship trophy – the loser was made to clean his team-mate's boots for a week!
Bingam and fellow pro Judd Trump were drafted in to help coach the footballers ahead of the showdown, which was won by Jenkinson, a 23-year-old from Harlow. (You can watch the encounter on YouTube by clicking here).
Bingham said: "It was good fun and interesting to talk to Premier League footballers about how much they train and what it is like doing what they do.
"They both did well and it made for a good game. But obviously neither wanted to lose so I don't think Andy was too pleased in the end!"

#Kuwait
In the recently published Outclassed in Kuwait, there are two, mirror images of author Taleb Alrefai. The first is the real, award-winning Kuwaiti writer, while the second is as narrator.
The biography opens with fictional Alrefai getting a call from a wealthy businessman named Khalid Khalifa requesting that he pen a novel-to-order.
This isn't the sort of ghostwriting that's common in English – where the rich pay an author to assemble their memoirs and then stamp their own name on the cover.
Instead, this millionaire wants Alrefai to lend his name to the project. Khalifa wants an old-fashioned praise poem in his honour, written as a modern novel. It is this odd combination that spawns the book's most interesting tensions.
"Praise novels" aren't something a 21st century author usually undertakes, as narrator Alrefai quickly points out, and after receiving the offer he opts to talk things over with the late novelist Ismail Fahd Ismail. Ismail was a (real) friend of the (real) author, and this detail creates a new layer of mirroring and illusion.
Things get less real when Khalifa offers Alrefai 100,000 Kuwaiti dinars (Dh1.2 million) to write the book. Later, when Alrefai is offered more money to stop writing it, Ismail tells his friend to take the cash.
"No Arab writer ever makes that kind of money," he claims.
Alrefai's wife Shoroq also urges him to take payment. "What about our financial problems? My love, please forget about those wretched communist principles you believe in this one time."
Shoroq's commentary aside, this book isn't about giving up on principles for commercial gain. Instead, it explores the bonds of family and the boundaries around what can and can't be written in a country like Kuwait, a country currently debating literary censorship.
The book was suggested by Khalifa's beloved eldest daughter, in light of the fact that her father's health was failing. He clearly wants the book to vindicate his legacy – it's meant to stand as a lasting monument to his achievements, much like Al Mutanabbi's 10th century poems praising the ruler Sayf al-Dawla. Yet there's another 21st century problem: Khalifa's even wealthier wife is against the project.
Khalifa tells Alrefai that his wife Awatef mustn't appear in the novel, and that his family life is off-limits. This is to be a novel only about Khalifa's triumphs in business. The stipulation makes Alrefai wonder how is it possible to craft a sympathetic fictional character without exposing the personal?
In their first meeting, Khalifa confidently rattles off details of his childhood and schooling, but stumbles when Alrefai asks for more. As they get to know each other, their discussions become progressively more personal. Khalifa starts with his childhood resentments and moves on to his difficult relationship with his wife. The more he shares, the more he wants to share. Yet none of this can be published in the book.
Through a series of more intimate meetings, we come to care about this lonely Kuwaiti millionaire, who suffers from breathing difficulties and crippling anxiety. He knows people say he succeeded only because of his wife, and he's never felt accepted by Kuwait's wealthy families. The last thing the millionaire describes for Alrefai is an embarrassing evening when he tried to cheat on his wife yet found it impossible. This, too, is not for the book. Khalifa is caught between two warring desires: He wants and doesn't want the public to know who he really is.
"They see the false face: Khalid the millionaire, Khalid the son-in-law of Abdul Razzaq, Khalid the man who can get whatever he wants. Nobody knows anything about my real life."
And yet his real life is off the record. Then Awatef steps in. After threatening her husband, she proceeds to threaten Alrefai, ordering him into her office as though he were a low-level employee. In the end, she shows him a report meant to demonstrate her husband's unfit mind. Paradoxically, in the service of concealing family secrets, she reveals more of them.
Outclassed in Kuwait has echoes of Saud Alsanousi's compelling The Bamboo Stalk, where a Filipino-Kuwaiti protagonist fails to find a place for himself in the social hierarchy.
Khalifa, although rich and ethnically Kuwaiti, also finds himself with no place. His only friends, it seems, are his eldest daughter and his scribe.
Alrefai is himself an elusive presence. Although he's our narrator, we learn little about him. He stands behind a curtain, existing only to translate Khalifa's life to the page.
Indeed, he shows there is a way to write a sympathetic main character while saying little about the character's inner life.
In its English translation, the book has yet another Taleb Alrefai. It was translated by the (real) Taleb Alrefai, thus closing the book's circle of mirrors.

Elizabeth of York: A Tudor Queen and Her World by Alison Weir: A Book Review
Elizabeth of York: A Tudor Queen and Her World
Author: Alison Weir
Genre: Nonfiction, Biography, History
Publisher: Ballantine Books
Release Date: December 3rd, 2013
Source: Netgalley/Publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Synopsis: Many are familiar with the story of the much-married King Henry VIII of England and the celebrated reign of his daughter, Elizabeth I. But it is often forgotten that the life of the first Tudor queen, Elizabeth of York, Henry's mother and Elizabeth's grandmother, spanned one of England's most dramatic and perilous periods. Now New York Times bestselling author and acclaimed historian Alison Weir presents the first modern biography of this extraordinary woman, whose very existence united the realm and ensured the survival of the Plantagenet bloodline.
Her birth was greeted with as much pomp and ceremony as that of a male heir. The first child of King Edward IV, Elizabeth enjoyed all the glittering trappings of royalty. But after the death of her father; the disappearance and probable murder of her brothers—the Princes in the Tower; and the usurpation of the throne by her calculating uncle Richard III, Elizabeth found her world turned upside-down: She and her siblings were declared bastards.
As Richard's wife, Anne Neville, was dying, there were murmurs that the king sought to marry his niece Elizabeth, knowing that most people believed her to be England's rightful queen. Weir addresses Elizabeth's possible role in this and her covert support for Henry Tudor, the exiled pretender who defeated Richard at the Battle of Bosworth and was crowned Henry VII, first sovereign of the House of Tudor. Elizabeth's subsequent marriage to Henry united the houses of York and Lancaster and signaled the end of the Wars of the Roses. For centuries historians have asserted that, as queen, she was kept under Henry's firm grasp, but Weir shows that Elizabeth proved to be a model consort—pious and generous—who enjoyed the confidence of her husband, exerted a tangible and beneficial influence, and was revered by her son, the future King Henry VIII.
Drawing from a rich trove of historical records, Weir gives a long overdue and much-deserved look at this unforgettable princess whose line descends to today's British monarch—a woman who overcame tragedy and danger to become one of England's most beloved consorts.
My Review: Elizabeth of York is the only English queen to have been a daughter, sister, niece, wife, and mother to English kings. She is also the first Tudor queen. Unlike her granddaughter, Mary Tudor, who is the first sovereign queen of England, the first sovereign queen would have been her grandmother, Elizabeth of York. However, in a time where women were seen as unfit rulers to the crown, Elizabeth merely became a queen consort to another English claimant and king, Henry VII, the founder of the Tudor dynasty.
Despite Elizabeth's colorful and personal history, she is often shrouded in the background. Most of the attention goes to her father, her uncle, and her husband. In fact, she is unfairly most known as the mother of Henry VIII. Alison Weir's biography makes an attempt to bring Elizabeth from the background and into the spotlight. However, doing her best to highlight her accomplishments, it is often due to lack of primary sources the Elizabeth is still in the background and is outshined by the presences of the English kings.
Elizabeth was born in a time of an English civil war, known as the War of the Roses. At that time, there were two kings and two queens on the English throne. Elizabeth was the daughter of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodeville, who was the first commoner queen in England. Her father Edward IV defeated the other English king, Henry VI, and there were no more claimants to the throne, except for one nominally small voice, Henry Tudor. After Edward IV's death, Elizabeth's brother Edward V, who was later joined by Richard, Duke of York, went to live in the Tower at his coronation. Within days, her uncle Richard III proclaimed Elizabeth and her siblings illegitimate, and crowned himself king. Her brothers mysteriously disappeared in the Tower. Eventually, at the Battle of Bosworth, Richard III was defeated by Henry Tudor. Henry Tudor became king and later married Elizabeth of York, thus ending the War of the Roses.
In spite of the lack of primary sources regarding Elizabeth of York, Weir tries her best to bring Elizabeth's personality to light. I felt like it was a personal story for Elizabeth, one that touched her deeply because the death of her of her father, and the disappearance of her brothers in a few short months, and also with the death of her son, Arthur. Weir does a good job in trying to portray how Elizabeth must have felt and reacted to the tragic events of her life. Elizabeth is also known to be pious, sweet, and generous. Therefore, while she goes through a lot of grief, she devotes herself to her faith and trust in God.
Overall, Weir's biography of Elizabeth of York shows her a strong woman of faith and virtue. She is portrayed as a loving sister and devoted wife and mother. This biography is filled with romance, danger, mystery, and court intrigue. The writing can be dry at times, and sometimes read like a textbook. However, Elizabeth of York deserves some attention because she helped change England.

Apple confirms $3 billion acquisition of Beats
by Josh Ong — in Apple
Apple today confirmed plans to acquire Beats Electronics, the maker of a popular line of headphones and a less-popular streaming music service. The purchase price was roughly $2.6 billion in cash with an additional $400 million in stock options that will vest over time, making it Apple's biggest acquisition ever.
Beats co-founder and music mogul Jimmy Iovine said in a statement that he had "always known in [his] heart that Beats belonged with Apple." In fact, the company itself drew inspiration from Apple's combination of culture and technology. Hip-hop legend Dr. Dre and Iovine can now repay the favor as they join Apple.
Eddy Cue, the Apple SVP who oversees iTunes, said the addition Beats will make Apple's music lineup "even better" by adding a subscription service to its existing Internet radio and online store offerings.
The deal, which is awaiting regulatory approval, is expected to close in Apple's fiscal fourth quarter, which ends in late September.
News of the deal leaked out earlier in May. A subsequent celebratory video of Dr. Dre, posted by actor Tyrese Gibson, appeared to confirm the acquisition.
Beats Music launched early this year to compete with Spotify, Rdio and Apple's own iTunes Radio. Earlier today, the service lowered its yearly pricing to $99 and extended its free trial to 14 days.

The Lüdinghausen railway station is a station of the Dortmund-Enschede railway located at the Westphalian city of Lüdinghausen. It was opened in Summer 1875. Trains of the line RB51 call at Lüdinghausen. In December 2011, the Deutsche Bahn AG stopped selling tickets in Lüdinghausen.

The railway station consists of two signal boxes with mechanic operation, (Ln (pointsman) and Lf (signalman)), two level crossings (Olfener Straße and Seppenrader Straße), two platform tracks with a centre platform, two dead-end sidings with buffer stops, and six sets of points, out of which four are remote-controlled, one is operated by wagon shunters with a nearby lever, and one is out of order. A local distillery is connected to the station.

Q: When should I use the Partial keyword? I was reading the MSDN article on the Partial keyword, and this part caught my eye:

The partial keyword indicates that other parts of the class, struct,
  or interface can be defined in the namespace. All the parts must use
  the partial keyword. All the parts must be available at compile time
  to form the final type. All the parts must have the same
  accessibility, such as public, private, and so on.
[...]
All the parts that specify a base class must agree, but parts that
  omit a base class still inherit the base type. Parts can specify
  different base interfaces, and the final type implements all the
  interfaces listed by all the partial declarations. Any class, struct,
  or interface members declared in a partial definition are available to
  all the other parts. The final type is the combination of all the
  parts at compile time.

I had two questions regarding this concept:

*

*Firstly, it seems that this is a way to bypass the lack of multiple inheritance in C# (aside from interfaces, of course). Are there any repercussions to doing so, aside from normal multiple inheritance issues, such as the Diamond Problem? Basically, just because I can, does it mean I should?

*Secondly, when exactly should I split up files? Just by reading this, it feels like I should be able to declare a nested class in its own file, and partial it together with the containing class, and thereby improve readability. Is this the point of Partial, or should it only be used as described in the above article?

A: Firstly, this has nothing to do with multiple inheritance in C#. It simply allows you to split a class' implementation between files. A regular class in C# can implement multiple interfaces as well, so you're not gaining anything by using partial classes.
Secondly, partial classes are the most useful when part of a class' implementation is generated by some tool and the other portion is written by a developer. This allows you to re-generated the generated portion of the code without losing the hand coded portion of the implementation.

A: partial classes have nothing to do with multiple inheritance. the only very good reason to use them is when part of the class is generated and the other is your own.

A: No, it mentions base interfaces, not concrete types, so multiple inheritance still isn't possible. For your second point, the main reason was to allow generation tools to create a partial which hides many of the implementation details from the partial that the developer edits.

A:
Firstly, it seems that this is a way to bypass the lack of multiple inheritance in C# (aside from interfaces, of course). Are there any repercussions to doing so, aside from normal multiple inheritance issues, such as the Diamond Problem? Basically, just because I can, does it mean I should?

It doesn't do multiple inheritance. It's actually way more evil, since it exposes private variables -- but at the same time it doesn't introduce diamonds. Try the following code to see what I mean:
public class Test0
{
    protected int bar;

    public void Unexpected() { Console.WriteLine("3. {0}", bar); }
}

public partial class Test1
{
    private int foo;

    public void Foo() { Console.WriteLine("1. {0}", foo); bar = 1; }
}

public partial class Test1 : Test0
{
    public void Bar() { Console.WriteLine("2. {0}", foo); foo = 1; }
}

class Driver
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        var t1 = new Test1();
        t1.Bar();
        t1.Foo();
        t1.Unexpected();
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

In other words, you should be very careful with variables.

Secondly, when exactly should I split up files? Just by reading this, it feels like I should be able to declare a nested class in its own file, and partial it together with the containing class, and thereby improve readability. Is this the point of Partial, or should it only be used as described in the above article?

Code generation is a well known example. I personally use partial classes a lot when dealing with the Facade pattern (which is very useful when creating WCF/SOAP services). In most cases I try to avoid it for the above reason.

Bolton Wanderers were defeated by Preston North End 2-1 in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Goals from Alan Browne and Tom Barkhuizen sealed the points for the Lilywhites, with Clayton Donaldson scoring a consolation late on for Wanderers.
Speaking to bwfc.co.uk following the final whistle, manager Phil Parkinson covered the following topics..
"I thought we started okay, as we had good chances in Josh Magennis' shot and header early on."
"We need to do better to show more resiliency and not give away cheap goals."
"It's always a mood changer when you concede just before the break and it was poor from my point of view."
"There are other games like West Brom where I have come away and thought we've played well and matched our opposition.
"Today, I didn't feel like we did that.
"The disruption we had at the back I think showed as we looked disjointed at times.
"We need to rectify that come Tuesday night."
"First and foremost it was a massive blow for us."
"He is a player with real quality that he has showed in the games he has played so far.
"It was a high octane Lancashire derby - he is a young lad and we believe he has strained his calf."
"We have had a real go to get back into the game and I am pleased for Clayton today to get his goal."
"However, we need to play like that throughout the game and if we had done that, we'd have given Preston more problems.
"It is back to the drawing board for us."
"We've had our say in the dressing room about what we felt we should have done better today."
"We need to get back to work and get ready to go again."

Captain America is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by cartoonists Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (cover dated March 1941) from Timely Comics, a predecessor of Marvel Comics. Captain America was designed as a patriotic supersoldier who often fought the Axis powers of World War II and was Timely Comics' most popular character during the wartime period. The popularity of superheroes waned following the war and the Captain America comic book was discontinued in 1950, with a short-lived revival in 1953. Since Marvel Comics revived the character in 1964, Captain America has remained in publication.

Regardless of whether you're a hard-core football fan or someone who follows the sport only sporadically, there is no denying the fact that you'd be glued to your television this summer, possibly following every bit of the FIFA World Cup 2018 action!
A great multitude of people would also be betting on the upcoming World Cup. However there are many who wish to bet on football matches but don't know how and where to begin. Betway online sports betting app offers a reliable and effective means to bet on the upcoming World Cup, and is easy to use even for the starting-out bettors. You must definitely try it out if you've been contemplating betting on the World Cup tournament, or football in general.
On a side note, if you get too stressed out watching World Cup games or losing bets, you could always turn to interesting sections/write-ups on this website to de-stress yourself!
Let's now take you through the different types of football bets you can place in the FIFA World Cup 2018.
The simplest possible football bets, money line bets are about the team you expect to win a certain football match. While favourites have a better chance of winning, the offered odds on them are not too profitable. Underdogs on the other hand are riskier bets, but with a potential of bigger profit.
For instance, France go in as favourites in their World Cup match against Australia on June 16, so you can place money line bets on either of them, depending on your assessment of their chances.
These are also very simple bets wherein the bookmaker sets a specific number for the total number of goals expected to be scored in an upcoming football match. You are required to bet on a total either over that number or under that number.
Rather than simply backing a team to lose or win a football match, spread betting enables you to bet on the number of goals that a team would lose or win by. For instance, if you see a Germany spread bet listed at -2.5, it implies that they must win their game by at least 3 goals or more to cover that spread.
Either during or prior to the start of the FIFA World Cup, football bettors can place punts on the team they expect to go all the way and win the tournament. You'd get odds on every team taking part in the competition. Futures betting can reap huge rewards if you have the uncanny ability to predict the right tournament winners. For instance, if you place a futures bet on Spain to win the upcoming FIFA World Cup, let's say at odds of +650, a $ 100 bet placed on them would fetch you $ 650, if they indeed end up winning the Cup!
These bets are about anything and everything that can happen during a specific football match or during the entire World Cup tournament. For instance, you'd get odds on the number of goals scored by a player throughout the World Cup.
Considered the most popular and regularly indulged in football bets these days, live bets as evident from their name, are the ones you place while a football match is already happening. The odds are adjusted accordingly depending on who is losing or winning, and the amount of time left in the match.


Located among the vineyards of Chasselas on sunny hillsides, Moissac is one of the great Tourist Sites of Occitania. On the road to Santiago de Compostella, the city is home to a masterpiece of Romanesque art : the Saint Peter's abbey church and its cloister from the XIIth century.
Lovers of Moissac and its abbey, we have completely renovated this XIXth century house to welcome passing guests. Less than 200m away from the cloister, our bed and breakfast, behind its traditional pink bricks façade, offers three vast and clear bedrooms, all equipped with private bathrooms.
On the first floor, the room Aliénor with classical design and pastel colors, opens onto the façade and its flowery balconies. On the second floor, facing the façade and the garden, the room Victoire with dark wood and warmer tones and facing the garden, the room Jeanne with soft and luminous colors are both invitation to relax and rest.
The Bed and Breakfast are open all summer (from July 1st to August 31) and during the year, on demand, for school holidays and on weekends.
