Chatting with Garba – By Owen Savage
3 Comments	/ Crossing Borders Blog
I spoke to Garba Diallo – the managing director of Copenhagen-based NGO Crossing Borders and self-proclaimed citizen of Globalistan – about how the organisation was created, the value of education and dialogue and his nomadic origins in West Africa. Garba explained the normality of human movement, the dangers of "Hygge Democracy" and, most importantly, why Jeff Bezos doesn't own any cows…
"I come from a nomad culture in West Africa. We don't really see borders. I am a part of an ethnic group spread over 25 countries. We are not settled people. You know, we are always crossing borders, we don't really give a damn up to today about them – if it's green on the other side, then…!"
Garba Diallo is from a community named the Fulanis who constitute one of the largest ethnic groups in West Africa, despite being spread across 25 different countries. They usually find themselves marginalised due to the fact that they are, by nature, unsettled minorities.
Before setting off on a journey that would eventually see him settle in Denmark, Garba grew up as a cowboy in Mauritania. As a teenager, he went to a local school he said he felt was a prison:
"I ran away after a few months because it was not a school but a torture camp. Our languages were banned and our culture was not respected. We only learnt about French history. Vive la France! What you gained at that school did not make up for what you lost!" He escaped this place and returned to his village, where at the age of 19 he decided to pursue his own education and begin his journey across the world.
In doing so, he achieved fluency in French, Danish, Arabic, Norwegian, Swedish and English as well as his native tongue of Fulani. Using any transport he could, he made his way to Libya and later received a scholarship to study and work for two years in Qatar. It was from here that Garba swapped the barren heat of Asia for the bleak cold of Norway to study his dream subject of International Relations and Development Studies.
After I asked him about his experiences as a migrant here in Denmark, Garba was quick to correct me: "First of all, I am not a 'migrant', I am an expat! I was invited as an expert from the North (from Norway) and landed here in little Denmark. The expat should be white! Normally it's a contradiction to be black and to be an expat!".
Crossing Borders' activities began in 1999 with a project that brought 60 people from Israel and Palestine together to debate and produce articles. According to Garba, changing formal education and the curriculum isn't easy.
"In all the arab textbooks, Israel doesn't exist!" he says, "And in all the Israeli textbooks, Palestine doesn't exist! Then I joked with them and said, well then, there is no problem!"
It is instead through informal education and the media that change can be achieved. The Israelis and Palestinians produced articles together and exchanged roles during debates: the Palestinians became part of the mainstream zionist movement, the Israelis the Palestinian Liberation Organization.
"No one is born Jewish or Muslim or communist or capitalist. It is society that makes you into that. And education. From the school, the home, the media. We felt the key was education, but informal education. The formal one is a no go. You go from A to Z, studying what is decided by the authorities. There is space, with extra-curricular and informal education, where you can influence."
Crossing Borders is clear about its motivations – to produce dialogue in society and in the process create active global citizens. Garba says that this now occurs in the context of a battle over information in modern society, where data is fast becoming our most precious resource.
"Information is not only power but money. Powerful people in the world are producing information, there are no cows running around belonging to Jeff Basos".
Now based in Ubuntu House right in the centre of Copenhagen, CB coordinates over ten international projects in a variety of locations from Uganda to the Caucasus; they all aim to promote dialogue in society. Here in DK, Crossing Borders has a school workshops program, aiming to bring the world into Danish classrooms and bring Danish classrooms into the world. Crossing Borders views maintaining authenticity as extremely important and when it goes into schools and creates dialogue among young Danes, it isn't Danes who convey the message.
"We use people who are part of this story, we use migrants, we use refugees to talk about refugee issues and immigration issues, we use people actually who are suffering from climate change, from Somalia and the Middle East, where water is running out, or certain parts of the African Sahel, to talk about climate change".
In Garba's view, Denmark offers great opportunities if you have the vision and knowhow to carry out your ideas and funding is plentiful. However, he also discussed how hard it is to be an expat in a country with such a tight knit population. He railed against a phenomenon he cheekily brands 'Hygge Democracy' – what he sees in Denmark as a kind society ready to take care of each other, but simultaneously excluding those who are different. In a challenge to such thinking, Garba takes pride in the sheer diversity of his organisation. Crossing Borders has volunteers and employees from 20 different countries in the central office in Copenhagen alone, and many more among its representatives across the world.
Time has run out, but Garba feels he needs to sum things up:
"We are united as human beings, as people who have the energy, will and vision to create a world that they want and deserve to live in. Crossing Borders is there for you and you are welcome to join. All ideas are welcome, nobody is dismissed and we are ready to go out learning and share this common space for a meeting of the world".

Amazing man, makes one almost ashamed of having a sheltered and comfortable life, are they active in Uk?
An inspirational and "disruptive" perspective on the value of education in promoting cross-cultural understanding – we clearly need to interrogate exactly what that education consists of…

About Stereotypes
Subject Identity,
Category Culture, Sociology
Topic Indian Culture, Minority, Stereotypes
While growing up, I lived in a predominantly black neighborhood. In this population, there was a very small group consisting of people of Arab, Indian, Caucasian, and Asian ethnicities. We were brought up knowing a peculiar story about the members of our Indian heritage group. Indians were the people who owned most of our town's markets, grocery stores, and trade centers for me and my friends. Therefore, we have grown to have the sense that good businessmen or women are Indian citizens.
Our view of society was very myopic, because most of the kids in our town studied in boarding schools. My peers learned about the broader community through books, these only sources of information were neatly tucked away in a library. Our practical knowledge of people around us was limited to short holidays in which our exposure to society was primarily controlled by our parents or guardians. It was logical to assume that Indian people were better at business than black people because history suggested they were good at trade long before African nations became civilized (Adichie).
However, last year, I got a job in town where I was employed in a small cyber café. During that period, I learned that black people were just as proficient in business as Indians. Any black person with enough formal knowledge and willingness to work hard could have their own business managing a convenience store or a shop and be just as competitive. I learned to appreciate the full narrative and corrected the stereotype that members of the Indian community are always more proficient in business than those of the black community (Solorzano 9). In conclusion, it does not matter which community one comes from; if anyone wants to be successful, all they have to do is to work hard and do their best until the goals are achieved.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This story was updated June 12 at 9:12 p.m. in the fourth in fifth graphs with the latest decision numbers.
Evangelist Greg Laurie leads an altar call at the end of the Crossover Harvest America crusade June 10 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas. More than 2,300 individuals came forward during the invitation to make a commitment to Christ.
By the end of the evening, Harvest America reported that 2,339 made salvation decisions at the event. The event was live streamed, and 100,000 people viewed online and 400 churches participated. There were 875 salvations reported from online viewers.
Leading up to the crusade, there were several door-to-door evangelism events, and Southern Baptists reported 1,015 salvations.
Rev. Joe Ballard worships during the Crossover Harvest America crusade June 10 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
Laurie noted, "We wanted to make sure that those who could not attend in Dallas could still hear what we had to say about Jesus Christ."
The event, Laurie said, could not have come at a better time as the nation and the world seem to be on edge with each other and themselves. Pastor Graham agreed.
Gary Weitz, left, a partner of Time to Revive Ministry, is excited to give Maria DeVilla, office manager at Kennington Apartments in Arlington, Texas, a new Bible June 9 as Brenda Caldwell, member of Tate Springs Baptist Church in Arlington and a retired International Mission Board missionary, looks on. DeVilla had prayed with Weitz to receive Christ as her Savior earlier that day.
Steve Gaines, president of the Southern Baptist Convention and pastor of Bellevue Baptist Church near Memphis, prays with Jordan Drake, an M.Div. student at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary June 9 at the school. Gaines encouraged 175 students before they witnessed across the city of Dallas as part of Crossover.

Q: How can I use XMLHttpRequest to grab the title of a page and return it to my page? I got the basic understanding of AJAX down, but I am not sure if there is a way to just use it to read a DOM and send the information back to be used on a page...
In my specific case, links to news stories are being stored in my database, and I am trying to get the text between <a href> and </a> to be populated with the actual title of the story.
Any ideas? Thanks

A: First of all, you'll need a proxy on your own server, because cross-domain requests are usually not allowed. A simple proxy would just echo the page to you, but for efficiency, it really should use something like regular expressions to simply return the page's title, which is what you want. For example, in PHP:
$text = file_get_contents($_REQUEST['newspage']);
preg_match("/(?<=\<title\>)[^\>]+/", $text, $matches);
if(count($matches)) {
     echo $matches[0];
} else {
     echo "Unknown title";
}

It's easy to use - just send a simple GET Ajax request to the script with a newspage parameter, and put the result into the link.

Those pics for the Shirkmere listing show some example samples of McMansions in Timbergrove and the floors appear to all be raised 3-4 feet above grade. I like those simple 50s homes but, considering the flood potential, the raised McMansions are an upgrade of the neighborhood in more ways than 1.
Its a sign. More flooding. More expensive flood insurance. Less help from the feds.

School Run
2019 CITIES IN MOTION
EDITORIAL BOARD SELECTION
by Aileen Hunt
My oldest son bursts out of the house wearing one shoe; the other dangles from his right hand. He looks startled for a moment, as if he's woken up in some strange land, then he hops across the driveway and into the car.
"Here," he proclaims, and with a nod to his younger brother, "Let's go! We'll be late."
Another school day. Another school run.
I've been driving this school run for four years now, a five-kilometre round trip through Dublin traffic that takes thirty minutes most days. At 14 and 17, the boys are old enough to make their own way. But I like our time together in the car: our 15 minutes in the morning, our 15 minutes in the afternoon.
I put the car in gear and head down Derrynane Gardens, a modest grey street of two-up, two-down houses built in the 1930s. The houses, once rented to dockers and carters, are in private hands now, and although their exteriors retain the same blunt appearance, their interiors have been remodelled beyond recognition. They sell for over half a million euro now, their robust construction and proximity to town a draw for tech workers in nearby Silicon Dock.
In front of us, the new Aviva Stadium swoops low, revealing its elegant steel skeleton. At night, when the growing lamps are turned on, it glows with an old-fashioned incandescence, a light so creamy and mellow, it looks as if the moon has floated down and set up camp at the base.
The boys learned to play rugby at the old stadium back when it was a dull, concrete affair. Niall, bigger and stronger than his teammates, skirted around rucks, worried about hurting his opponents. Eoin, tall and skinny, played with a bravery bordering on the reckless. Once, he stood his ground as a boy twice his size hurtled towards him. He dislocated his shoulder in the ensuing collision, and although he made light of the injury, the pain must have registered in a way that my exhortations to be careful never had. He gave up rugby soon afterwards.
We turn right onto Bath Avenue; its jumble of red-brick elegance and Victorian villas interspersed with pebble-dashed terraces. On match days, thousands of people walk down this road. Neighbours complain about the inconvenience, but I love the noise and the colour: the scarf sellers and the bagpipe players; the crowds outside Farmer Brown's and the Chophouse.
We stop at the junction of Haddington Road, and the boys argue over what music to listen to.
"Lads," I say. "Pick something I like," and they stop bickering long enough to burst into laughter.
In the 19th century, this area was home to smugglers and highwaymen, back when it was wild wood and scrubland. Today, it's full of trendy restaurants and bars. Two years ago, The Lansdowne was a grim docker's pub. Now it's The Old Spot and serves celeriac truffle and duck rillettes.
Around the corner, the old gasometer has been converted into luxury accommodation. Google's European headquarters takes up half of Barrow Street. On Friday afternoons, its workers hop into taxis and catch flights to Berlin and Kraków, leaving behind empty apartments the locals can no longer afford.
The lights change, and we pass the barracks at Beggar's Bush; its massive limestone walls now guarding the Labour Relations Commission and an overpriced coffee shop. The barracks date from 1827. Pre-famine, I tell the boys, in an effort to provide context. But they're 14 and 17, too young to care.
At Northumberland Road, we move into the right lane and wait for a green light. In front of us, house number 25 looks just like it did in 1916, when Volunteers barricaded themselves into the house and attacked passing British soldiers. Two hundred and thirty soldiers were killed or injured here. Just off the boat. Just starting out.
This morning, the usual busyness. A man hoists his toddler onto his shoulder, a woman in purple talks into her phone, a taxi tries to nudge its way out of a side street. The boys talk about the math teacher's haircut, the school's chances this year in the Senior Cup.
We cross the bridge.
"Eight bikes," Eoin says. "A peloton."
The number of cyclists we see has been increasing every year, especially here along the canal with its shiny new bike lane and its dedicated traffic lights.
Eoin has become interested in cycling, too. Last year, he built a bike from an old frame and second-hand parts.
"It will be cheaper that way," he assured me, but the bike has already cost hundreds of euro and is still not finished.
We turn left into Warrington Place: Leafy with love banks and a single copper beech among the oaks and chestnuts. This is my favourite part of the drive, a pretty stretch of the canal where mallards skim the water and sometimes, on rare and wonderful mornings, sunshine slices the canopies of trees.
"Look up," I tell the boys. "Half the beauty in a city is above eye level."
Niall sometimes walks this way when he's out with the dog. One day he came home and told me about the flock of geese he'd seen overhead.
"There must have been a hundred Mom, honking away. You would have loved it."
We turn right onto Mount Street Crescent, with its Georgian good looks. The statue of Birdy crouches on top of a porch roof, human, naked, and I glance in the mirror and catch Niall's eye.
"I know," he sighs. "Proportion and pattern and repetition."
But I'm not testing his appreciation of Georgian architecture this morning, nor his ability to regurgitate my impromptu lectures. I'm testing myself, imagining him as Birdy, waiting to step off the roof one day and embrace the current that will swirl him away. And for a moment, being a mother seems an irony of the bitterest sort.
On Mount Street, we pass the newspaper vendor, leaning against the railing and drinking his coffee. Ahead of us, Leinster House, seat of the Irish government, its tricolour snapping in the sombre sky. The boys have little interest in politics and any convictions I once held are long gone. Life is complicated, I think, too complicated for certainties.
We turn left onto Fitzwilliam Street and I glance at the mountains ahead, blue and mauve and purple. Men in suits cross at the junction and the boys wave at a friend cycling by. Past the house that's being renovated, past the woman with the high heels and small dog, then right onto Fitzwilliam Square, smallest and loveliest of the Georgian squares. I look at the restrained houses with their red brick, made over two hundred years ago in Sandymount, where we now live. I look at the iron balconies and the boot scrapers, the letter boxes and the doors, the fanlights and the granite steps. I think of the people who've lived here over the centuries and the servants and staff who made their lives easy and effortless, and I wonder if the boys know that much of art has its roots in privilege.
Mamie Jellet, the abstract painter, lived here, and Jack B Yeats. A print of The Liffey Swim hung above the boys' bunk bed when we lived in Cincinnati. Niall liked trying to count the people on the passing tram or the men in the crowd wearing caps. I liked the line of the river, the rushing blues and greys and tidal browns. There were days looking at that picture, I could smell the sea, feel the salted whip of wind on my cheek.
I pull in at the corner of Pembroke Street and the boys hop out. They sling their backpacks over their shoulders and stride away and I know that if I catch up with them at the lights, Eoin will pretend he doesn't see me, and Niall will smile and wave cheerfully. They'll cross the road and walk a few metres to their school, where teachers I don't know will teach them things I never learned.
I turn left onto Leeson Street and left again onto Grand Canal Place. The traffic is light on this side of the canal, and the car feels faster as I head towards home. I switch the radio to Lyric FM and open the window, hear the buzz of a motorbike and a van door slamming.
The canal is a 250-year story of progress, decline, neglect, and rediscovery. Not that long ago, there was talk of filling it in to make a bus lane. Today, moorhens nest in its reeds and small black-headed gulls swoop around its locks.
I pass the red and white barge and the statue of the tow horse; I pass Kavanagh on his bench searching for redemption, wallowing in the habitual. I pass the lock where Niall and I hopped on my brother's boat one summer day and waited in green delight while the water cascaded around us and raised us up, inch-by-slow-inch.
The canal unspools behind me, 82 miles of waterway that makes its way through Dublin, Kildare, and Westmeath. A spur connects it to Kilbeggan, where the boys' grandfather came from, and the canal itself continues through Edenderry and Tullamore before reaching the Shannon, where their father comes from, and beyond the canal, beyond the Shannon, the Atlantic, and beyond the Atlantic, America, where the boys were born, and it seems a short, straight line connecting it all.
I pass the spot where the swan makes her nest each Spring. I pass the junction where I saw the cyclist knocked down, the satin lining of his suit jacket shining in the sun. I pass the spot where the food market is held every Thursday with its Middle Eastern falafels and Brazilian barbeque, and the car is getting faster now as home gets nearer, and I turn where the canal disappears under the road and I see the statue of Aspiration climbing the wall where the rebels holed up all those years ago and I see the Stadium rising before me like a gift, and I turn left onto Bath Avenue. I'm close now, just a few minutes from home, and the familiar thought arrives, insistent as the city's growth, persistent as its past: They go by so quickly. All the days. All the school runs.

School run is so interesting & nostalgic. Lovely expressive writing. Well done. Ann Harvey


WhatsApp is here for desktop thanks to a web client that launched today for Google Chrome browsers and Android. Earlier rumours have now been confirmed, and a new client which points to web.whatsapp.com has been launched.
Your phone will need to stay connected to the web in order for the service to work and all user messages will continue to reside on your phone, but WhatsApp is hoping the client will give its users more flexibility.
A spokesperson has also said that WhatsApp hope to bring similar functionality to iOS very soon, but no timeframe has been given. On the company blog following the launch of the web client, WhatsApp cited "Apple platform limitations" as the reason to why the client is not yet compatible with iOS.
The client works simply by mirroring the WhatsApp application on your Android device. Users need to launch a Chrome window and head to web.whatsapp.com and then scan the displayed QR code using their mobile device to link the two. After following those simple steps, the web client and the Android device will be linked and users can access their conversation through either.
We'll be keeping a close eye on whether WhatsApp bring support to iOS, Blackberry and Windows Phone – but for now, Android users: try it out!

Лінійний конгруентний метод — один із методів генерації псевдовипадкових чисел. Застосовується в простих випадках і не володіє криптографічною стійкістю. Входить в стандартні бібліотеки різних компіляторів.

Опис

Лінійний конгруентний метод був запропонований Д. Г. Лемером в 1949 році. Суть методу полягає в обчисленні послідовності випадкових чисел , вважаючи

де  — модуль (натуральне число, відносно якого обчислюють остачу від ділення; ),  — множник (),  — приріст (),  — початкове значення ().

Ця послідовність називається лінійною конгруентною послідовністю. Наприклад, для  отримаємо послідовність </ref>

Властивості
Лінійна конгруентна послідовність, визначена числами , ,  і  періодична з періодом, не більшим за . При цьому довжина періоду рівна  тоді і тільки тоді, коли:

 Числа  і  взаємно прості;
  кратно  для кожного простого , що є дільником ;
  кратно , якщо  кратно .

Наявність цієї властивості для випадку , де  — число бітів в машинному слові, було доведено М. Грінбергом (). Наявність цієї властивості для загального випадку і достатність умов були доведені Т. Е. Халлом () і А. Р. Добеллом ().

Метод генерації лінійної конгруентної послідовності при  називають мультиплікативним конгруентним методом, а при  — змішаним конгруентним методом. При  згенеровані числа будуть мати менший період, ніж при , але при певних умовах можна отримати період довжиною , якщо  — просте число. Той факт, що умова  може призводити до появи більш довгих періодів, був встановлений В. Е. Томсоном () і незалежно від нього А. Ротенбергом ().
Щоб гарантувати максимальність циклу повторення послідовності при , необхідно в якості значення параметра  обирати просте число. Найвідомішим генератором подібного типу є так званий мінімальний стандартний генератор випадкових чисел, запропонований Стівеном Парком () і Кейтом Міллером () в 1988 році. Для нього , а .

Методом генерації послідовностей псевдовипадкових чисел, що найчастіше використовують є змішаний конгруентний метод.

Параметри, що часто використовуються

При виборі числа  необхідно враховувати наступні умови:

 число  повинно бути достатньо великим, так як період не може мати більше ніж  елементів;
 значення числа  повинно бути таким, щоб  обчислювалось швидко.

На практиці при реалізації методу виходячи з вказаних умов частіше всього обирають , де  — число бітів в  машинному слові. При цьому варто враховувати, що молодші двійкові розряди згенерованих таким чином випадкових чисел демонструють поведінку, далеку від випадкової, тому рекомендується використовувати лише старші розряди. Подібна ситуація не виникає, коли , де  — довжина машинного слова. В такому випадку молодші розряди  поводять себе так же випадково, як і старші.
Вибір множника  і приросту  зазвичай обумовлений необхідністю виконання умови досягнення періоду максимальної довжини.

Відомий «невдалий» (с точки зору якості вихідної послідовності) алгоритм RANDU, що протягом багатьох десятиліть використовували в різних компіляторах.

Для покращення статистичних властивостей числової послідовності в багатьох генераторах псевдовипадкових чисел використовується лише частина бітів результату. Наприклад, в стандарті ISO/IEC 9899 на мові Сі приведений (але не вказаний в якості обов'язкового) приклад функції rand(), що примусово відкидає молодші 16 і один старший розряд.

#define RAND_MAX 32767

static unsigned long int next = 1;

int rand(void)
{
  next = next * 1103515245 + 12345;
  return (unsigned int)(next/65536) % (RAND_MAX + 1);
}

void srand(unsigned int seed)
{
  next = seed;
}

Саме в такому вигляді функція rand() використовується в компіляторах Watcom C/C++. Відомі числові параметри інших алгоритмів, що застосовуються в різних компіляторах і бібліотеках.

Можливість використання в криптографії
Хоча лінійний конгруентний метод породжує статистично хорошу псевдовипадкову послідовність чисел, він не є криптографічно стійким. Генератори на основі лінійного конгруентного методу передбачувані, тому їх не можна використовувати в криптографії. Вперше генератори на основі лінійного конгруентного методу були зламані Джимом Рідсом (Jim Reeds), а потім Джоан Бояр (Joan Boyar). Їй вдалося також виявити недоліки квадратичних і кубічних генераторів. Інші дослідники  розширили ідеї Бояр, розробивши способи виявлення недоліків будь-якого поліноміального генератора. Таким чином, було доведено, що генератори на основі конгруентних методів не підходять для використання в криптографії. Однак генератори на основі лінійного конгруентного методу зберігають свою корисність для некриптографічних додатків, наприклад, для моделювання. Вони ефективні і в найбільш використовуваних емпіричних тестах демонструють хороші статистичні характеристики.

The motorhome stopover of Lido di Dante – indicated by on-site signs – is located just outside the village, after the roundabout to the left. A barrier blocks the entrance and within the area, there is a small wood cabin with information. The wide, flat and grassy area with no shading is equipped with facilities such as water disposal and drinking fountain. The parking area is not equipped with electrical connections nor direct lightning. The beaches are just 350m away.

Ever notice you've got caught in the 'I'll be happy when…' trap? It's one I've learned to spot for myself. It might be 'I'll be happy when… I'm feeling more rested / I've got a manageable To Do list / I've reached a particular work goal'. You get the idea. There are a couple of drawbacks to this. Firstly, it means we're always delaying happiness until some time in the future. Also, we don't always get what we want in life – so what then? If happiness depends on getting what we want, our opportunities to experience it may become limited. Alternatively, we can choose to find contentment here, in this moment, regardless of whether everything is the way we want it.
I've become very curious about a common phrase I hear a lot. When someone asks 'how's things?', people often say 'we're getting there, thanks'. I'm wondering where 'there' is exactly. Because, really, the finish line is death. The ending that we're seeking will come eventually, when there's no more living to do. When we put off happiness until we get 'there', we're missing our real lives!
Just a short message today, but let me know what you think by commenting/liking the post and oooh don't forget to share!!

April! - Love it - And love I'll be back out there playing a bunch of golf!
Looking forward to everyone's posts!
Started the month with a round at Ashwood in Apple Valley! My buddy is finally on the mend from the cancer treatments and near death experiences. He asked if I could join him and of course I did. He is still getting back his strength but I want to encourage him to resume his spot in our golf league that I filled for him last year. He had some struggles like back to back triples but finished steady with a birdie, bogey, par, par finish. we played the whites for his sake which really changed the course from always playing the blues here. I had some putting woes with the greens on course a bit slower than the practice greens but realized after I had no doubles! Shot 36 on the par 32 Mesquite finishing with a 0 putt birdie. Then on par 33 Sycamore shot 38. Missed a couple pars by inches.
The big surprise for me is the distance I am getting with the new clubs. I was getting so used to clubbing up and leaving shots short all the time. Today hit my 9 iron 130 and pitching wedge 120. Used to figure wedge was my 100 and 9 120. Hit them long more than once and realize I should start rethinking my distances.
Torrey North, 42+40, 30 putts. Felt like a round that should have been a bit better as I struck the ball well and made a few difficult saves look easy. I just missed some mundane, short, easy putts. Had trouble in a couple bunkers due to hard sand directly under my ball but not my feet and then almost holed out from the right side bunker on 6. Beautiful day, good POP.
Super depressing to try and play an 'easy' course to build up your confidence again, and then manage to start 6 over on the first three holes! At Alondra on Sunday which is about as straight forward as it gets (also happens to be the only course I've ever broken 80 at), but still managed to screw the pooch and shoot a depressing 47 on the front with a lost ball penalty and some dodgy sand play thanks to the awful bunkers. I did actually roll in a 50ft putt on #5 though for a birdie.
On the back nine I figured I would clean it up a bit but couldn't make a par until #15. The triple just before that was nausea-inducing as I was in the greenside bunker off the tee but needed three shots to get onto the green because the sand was near non-existent and what was there was wet. However, at the very least, finished up with four straight pars between 15-18 and closed the back with a 44. Small consolation. A 91 is a pretty awful score here but hopefully puts an end to a very miserable March in terms of scores. Be better, April. Be better.
I know your pain. One year before a GK outing I thought I would go out to Ashwood for a "confidence builder". Ha! Played terrible and left depressed. Played pretty well at the outing so I put it behind me!
Played Eagle Glen on Easter Sunday as a single, was very surprised there was nobody there to join me. My driver was the club that did not show up, just could not get any distance out of it. BUT my hybrid, irons and short game did show up and boy did we have a good time. I shot my best round ever at EG with numerous 2 putts for par, a double bogey, and a group of bogey's . 43-40=83.
I dread my next round, as the golf god's seem to play head games with me and let me think I have figured something out.
but, if they brought in a designer and put in some more strategic waste bunkers and water hazards this course could be so much more interesting. I just don't know what would happen to the eco-structure. In any case, it was a good morning. Mission accomplished."
Stop telling me what to do, Johnny! Ha! And yeah, I just read that review and chuckled ... Alondra just happens to be a lot closer to where I live but they are both in that same vain. I would actually say I've had my best rounds at Encino overall, but Alondra was again the one place where I broke 80 so I still do think it should be easier to me than shooting a 91! Woodley for some reason has given me more fits than it should. So what have we learned? Encino here I come!
So far, April has not been much kinder to me yet than March was. After not cracking 90 yet again in my first two rounds of the month (Alondra and Primm Valley (Lakes)), the last two rounds continued that trend. While never expecting to have a good round at De Bell as it just doesn't suit my eye, I was having a nice round going at Lakewood on Friday before another late collapse. After starting out pretty poorly, went on a nice run from 5-13 at just 3-over. Definitely had a low-mid 80s round in view, then got in my own head and took a triple on 16 and an even worse quad on the par 3 17th after going in the right bunker. Managed to par 18 despite a horrible tee shot, and when I added it all up - yep, 90. Haven't shot sub-90 now since Los Amigos back on 2/25 and it's been incredibly frustrating. I'm thinking about lessons to get over this inconsistency. Gonna have a heart attack out there at this rate if I keep doing this craziness.
Well the golf gods reaped a bit of revenge after a nice round at Ashwood. Been feeling pretty good about my game but yesterday at Palm Desert it was 1 step forward 3 steps back. Finished OK with a couple pars but shot 96. 44 on the front didn't seem too bad but 52 on the back was horrible. Greens were slow and just could not get used to it. Came up short time after time. Even when I told myself get aggressive still left them inches short instead of feet.

HELLO from CAMARO SUPERFEST HQ.... !!! We have 2 very important and great announcements to make. Please share this information with any and all you know...!! Here is the first.... (the second will follow very soon...) Those that have signed-up for the COPO Build Center tour on Friday morning... Chevrolet will be having a lunch for us!! It could simply be hotdogs and chips... but it is included with your tour!! ALSO - Chevrolet will have some specially made CSF-COPO t-shirts for sale (approx. $20 each) and these will be available while you are on the tour. Many of those already registered for CSF signed up for both tours, but did not take advantage of our "Tour Package" that would have saved you $5 per person. Well... we at CSF are not about to take advantage of you and those that signed up for both tours and did not use the discount... we'll have that discount waiting for you at registration... in cash!! Last item on the COPO tour... if you have not registered and signed-up for the tour... DO SO NOW!! We have 135 registered to go on the tour. We have been asked to hold the number of attendees at 170!! Once we reach that number, we will close down the COPO Tour. Thanks....!
Our next announcement is a real fun one!! On Saturday night, while at the Lingenfelter Collection Tour with pizza dinner, we will hold a LIVE auction. We will have 10-15 items specially selected for this auction. One of the items could be the nice donation from Camaros of Michigan (see photo). The catch... (you knew there would be one....) you will need CAMARO MONEY to use in the auction!! How do you get Camaro Money.... all of those registered to go will get $200 per car entry. Then at registration and event HQ from Thursday to Saturday, we will have 800 envelopes of Camaro Money for you to purchase for $2 each or 3 for $5. How much money will be in those envelopes? You don't know until you open them!! Buy as many as you want, but once they are gone.... that's it!! We will have denominations of $50, $100, $200, $500 and a few $1000 bills! Thus... you could spend $10-$20 and end up with $3000-$6000 of Camaro Money to use at the auction!! We hope you will like this twist on a live auction. We are hoping this method will be much more fun for all... and still help our charity efforts!!

Q: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Error I installed SSMS 2017.
When I run it, I can connect to a server successfully in Object Explorer.
But when I try to open New Query (File - New - Query with Current Connection), I get the following error:

Error loading type library/DLL.
      (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80029C4A (TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY))

The same error I get when I try to open .sql file.
Please help me solve this problem.
P.S. Does anyone know how to get more detailed information about this error? Maybe there is somewhere an error log.

A: Sorce
Cause:

During each service pack setup, we unregister the older versions of
  these  DLLs (along with a lot of others), copy the new ones and
  re-register them. The  registering phase may have failed on these
  files. The installation log of the  service pack can confirm us that.

Solution:

We Need to Un-Register both 32Bit and 64Bit of Dts.dll and Un-Register
  both  32Bit and 64Bit of MsDtsSrvrUtil.dll and Re-Register both 32Bit
  and 64Bit of  Dts.dll and both 32Bit and 64Bit of MsDtsSrvrUtil.dll

A: I had exactly the same issue and solved it following instructions from microsoft site
here
It basically says:

Run the following commands in Administrative Command prompt
On a 32-bit machine:
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\msxml6.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\msxml3.dll
On a 64-bit system, reregister both the 32-bit and 64-bit Dlls:
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\msxml6.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\msxml3.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\SysWOW64\msxml3.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\SysWOW64\msxml6.dll


Bored Cricket Crazy Indians (BCC!) - play with cricket: Virat Kohli's go to guys and is Dhoni a gone-guy?
Virat Kohli's go to guys and is Dhoni a gone-guy?
South Africa's long and winding road trip began in end-September. Since then formats have changed, results have changed, and captains have changed. And while the Twenty20 series seem an eternity away, it is worth a recall that India lost both matches rather convincingly. The ODIs were more closely fought but India lost that series too, 2-3. Over to the one-sided Test series, and India won it 3-0, with rain saving the Proteas in Bangalore, as it saved India in the third T20 in Kolkata.
The most glaring difference is the captaincy. A bearded Virat Kohli for a stubbled MS Dhoni. Facial hair aside, it's the apparent difference between new beginnings and tired endings. Dhoni's defeat in the ODI series in Bangladesh was followed by a long break from international cricket. Meanwhile, India under Kohli beat Sri Lanka in a Test series after god knows how many years.
India was playing Test cricket after six months and Kohli continued his century-making romp Down Under with a yet another tonne at Galle. His centuries stood at 11; his grasp of form, his grip on the team, his embrace with team director Ravi Shastri tighter than ever. And even though the Indians lost the first Test at Galle, they bounced back, winning the series 2-1. R Ashwin was Man of the series.
Ashwin was largely unavailable for the ODI series against South Africa bowling just 4.4 overs in the first match. An Ashwin-less India saw left-handed South African opener, Quinton de Kock, cracking two hundreds, the second in the decisive fifth ODI. Ashwin returned for the Test series, with his side strain sorted. Thirty-one wickets later, he was the Man of the series again.
Then there are the travails of Umesh Yadav, played two ODIs under Dhoni, and was bashed for runs in both. In the first Test against South Africa in Mohali, Yadav had little to do, bowling just nine overs in the entire match. He only returned for the fourth Test in Delhi, bowling as if he had been possessed by Kohli and Shastri's new found belief in him.
Forget spraying the ball down leg and bowling boundary balls every over, this avatar of Yadav was clocking maidens like Mr Modi clocks flying miles. Suspect in that one spell he put down more maidens than he had in his entire Test career – out of 21 overs, this thrifty new Yadav bowled 16 maidens. His wicket of Dane Vilas was followed with two more, breaking a stump and the Proteas' resistance.
Yadav was an unlikely inclusion, picked instead of third spinner, Amit Mishra, and after this Test, one hopes he will be as much his own man as he has now shown himself to be Kohli's go-to man.
Ravindra Jadeja did not make the T20s and ODIs under Dhoni. Harbhajan Singh, Axar Patel and Amit Mishra, however, did. Jadeja returned to the Indian squad in the Tests under Kohli. Eight wickets in the first Test (as many as Ashwin) a vital 38 runs, and suddenly, Jadeja was booked for the rest of the series.
He emerged as Ashwin's chief accomplice, and had accounted for players like Hashim Amla, de Villiers and Faf du Plessis. On the last morning of a long, unending block by Amla, one that threatened to draw the Test, it was Jadeja's dip and drift that whisked past the bat and cannoned into off stump. The seemingly immovable Amla was felled 289 minutes and 244 balls later.
It's hard to quantify the timing of Jadeja's wickets, they came when you least expected them; they brought with them dread, both of the pitch and of the bowler. This was as much his series as Ashwin's, and the man of the series could well have been given to Ravichandran Ravindra.
Jadeja was Kohli's go-to man.
As was Ajinkya Rahane. Two centuries were scored in 14 innings and one man got them both in one Test. That man, more than any perhaps, is and will be Kohli's go-to guy. Both overseas and at home. Even more so because he isn't Dhoni's guy at all.

Q: Stop div from adding on every click I  have a table with a background image that, when clicked, displays other images for the user to choose from. This is working and appears or hides on click events. However, when the user clicks to add a second image the menu of  images appears again (as it should) but twice. I have commented out a solution I tried. I thought on first click I could display my_div and then delete it in allImages.onclick. This is throwing up a null error in Chrome, probably understandably. The problem here is similar. Hope I added link correctly. Anyway, advice or help appreciated.
function addImage(col) {
    var img = new Image();

Anthony Ler's Hired Teen Killer Seeks Release After 16 Years
He committed the murder when he was 15, in 2001, now 31, he is appealing to President Halimah to be set free from his indefinite detention.
Teenage boy manipulated by 35-year-old graphic designer into killing his wife for S$100,000
Mastermind Anthony Ler convicted of abetting the murder of his wife Annie Leong and hanged in 2002
Named Z in court documents, the teen killer detained at the President's pleasure
Facing the threat of losing his house and custody of his daughter when his wife wanted to divorce him, Ler planned to get rid of Leong
Z had known Ler since he was 10, looked up to him as a mentor
Ler made Z rehearse and guided him on the killing
Prior to his arrest, Ler played the role of grieving husband
In court, Ler claimed he was merely playing a game of bluff and didn't expect Z to take him seriously
A smiling mastermind who engineered his own wife's murder, Anthony Ler had coached a lanky bespectacled 15-year-old and twisted the boy's mind into killing his victim in 2001.
Sixteen years after he was detained at the President's pleasure, the teenage killer, now 31, has applied to President Halimah Yacob for clemency, and to be released. He is hoping to have his life back.
To be detained at the President's pleasure is to be jailed for an indefinite term, subject to a periodic review.
During the trial in 2001, the teenager, identified only as Z, was described by the presiding judge as "a rather simple-minded and mild-mannered boy ensnared haplessly way out of season in adult intrigue and machinations…. He was no killer and had too much conscience and compassion".
Ler, on the other hand, was a master manipulator who wore a smile that never faded.
In his book, the late lawyer Subhas Anandan, who represented Ler, described him as a man who wore a constant smile, which in reality was a sneer.
Ler conjured up a series of stories to protect himself and maintained throughout a trial which gripped Singapore that he never intended for the teenager to actually kill his wife, Ms Annie Leong. It was a joke gone wrong, he said.
But both were found guilty. Ler was sent to the gallows on Dec 13, 2002, and Z, who did not appeal against his sentence on his lawyer's advice, has been serving an indefinite jail term since.
His lawyer Peter Ong Lip Cheng, who submitted the petition for him, said the 31-year-old has done well while serving time, matured considerably and has been studying for a degree while in prison.
Speaking to The Sunday Times on Saturday, he added that the application, which the Istana received on Nov 17, has been supported by counsellors, friends and others in contact with him during his term in prison. Z's identity was not publicised then as he was a juvenile when the crime was committed.
Mr Ong, speaking from Chongqing, China, where he is attending a course, said: "He has consistently shown remorse, maturity and understanding of what he has done. If given the chance, he would also be a standing and active testimony to youths of the consequences of crime and share his personal story in redeeming himself."
Z knifed Ms Leong, a 30-year-old insurance agent, as instructed by Ler, her estranged husband. It happened on the fourth-floor lift landing of a Housing Board block in Hougang on May 14, 2001. She died later in hospital from multiple knife wounds to her neck and chest.
Investigations showed Ler had approached Z and his teenage friends, but of the lot, Z felt he had to prove himself to Ler.
Ler, a self-confessed gambler and womaniser, wanted to retain the HDB flat he and Ms Leong owned, and custody of their daughter, who was then four years old. She would be 20 now.
Then Judicial Commissioner Tay Yong Kwang, who heard the case, said during the trial that "Anthony Ler hatched the idea of killing his wife, taught Z how to do it cleanly, kept egging him on and finally practically forced him to commit the offence".
Z's admissions of "self-loathing and utter confusion after the murder" were accepted by the court.
In his statements to the police when confessing to the crime, Z had written: "How I wished that I had never known Anthony. I have let my parents down and all those people around me. I do not know how people would think of me. I feel very lost and confused."
Mr Ong said Z's remorse and desire to change have been borne out by his work in prison in the last 16 years. He has been a model inmate with no record of misbehaviour.
Among other things, he has studied diligently through to his A levels and encouraged others to study and improve themselves as well. He also maintained close ties with his family in letters which showed character growth, he added.
Mr Ong, who was one of two lawyers defending Z during the 2001 trial, said Z has evolved from being the naive and weak-minded boy than to a resilient young man today, eager to make amends for his wrongdoings.
He said a 2003 Singapore report to a United Nations committee of convicted persons below the age of 18 detained at the President's leisure showed they can be considered for release after serving about 13 years of imprisonment.
The cases are reviewed after every four years but after the 10th year, they are reviewed annually, he said.
"This appeal is timely but it is not merely about the time served so far, but also on the evidence of his growth, maturity and readiness to contribute to society."
About the Case
The Anthony Ler trial in 2001 made headlines, not only because he hired a 15-year-old to kill his estranged wife Annie Leong, but also for the show he put on to hide his crime.
Ms Leong, 30, was stabbed multiple times outside a lift on the fourth floor of the Housing Board block where she was living with her mother and daughter.
At her wake, Ler sat down with a New Paper reporter and admitted to being a bad husband. He said that he had "fouled up" their marriage with an affair and his gambling.
He said that his wife was an angel, while he was the devil.
But Ler insisted that he was innocent.
Two days after the interview, Ler, then 34, was arrested at his Pasir Ris home and it emerged that he had offered a secondary school student $100,000 to kill Ms Leong, and even coached him on how to stab her in the neck.
Ler was sentenced to death, and hanged on Dec 13, 2002. The student, because of his age, was spared the death penalty and detained indefinitely at the President's pleasure. – ST

There's never a dull moment on the Orient Express and flakes of brioche are still fresh on my fingers when the first call comes for brunch. Before I embarked on this journey I sought advice from many experienced travellers, and it was John Hemming, the Director of the Royal Geographical Society, who advised me that a true explorer never turns down a meal. It might be the last he'll be offered for days. I decide to approach brunch in this spirit, tucking into Eggs Benedict but avoiding a 'light breakfast wine' at £24 a bottle.
We cross Liechtenstein between the second and third course, and are entering our fifth country in less than twenty-four hours, when things begin to go wrong. We are diverted through the town of Buchs because of a derailment (which I just can't imagine happening on such an immaculately run system) and worse than this, we are to terminate at Innsbruck as there is a rail strike in Italy. So the Venice-Simplon Orient Express will not, today, visit either Venice or Simplon.
A bus is to be provided at Innsbruck but they are unable to guarantee the arrival time. Nervous now because of our tight ship connection onward from Venice, there's nothing I can do but sit back and enjoy the view. We're winding up to the Ahlberg Pass, through sweeping panoramas of lush green slopes and mountainsides of acid-rain-crippled trees. The villages with their onion-dome steeples lie calm and drowsy in the valleys. From each one there fans out a network of grey pylons carrying the cars, cables and chair-lifts on which their livelihood depends, and in the winter here you'll hardly be able to move.


Siuslaw Public Library Director Meg Spencer shows her love for the library and the community that supports it. Thanks to responses from dozens of area artists, "What do you love about the library?" now has a posted answer over a window at the Florence branch. Several creative "pop-up" art pieces now cover eight broken windows, set to be replaced on Tuesday, April 9.
March 30, 2019 — The Siuslaw Public Library turned an act of vandalism into an opportunity for art and free speech this week, as community members of all ages helped create public art to place over the library's recently broken windows.
The windows were shattered two weeks ago when a disgruntled library patron, who had been banned for inappropriate behavior, hurled rocks through eight of the library's windows.
As the support for the library began pouring in, so too did suggestions on what could be done in the interim. A few library patrons suggested installing some public art.
Spencer took the idea to the library's Art Display Committee, which facilitates the public display of rotating art at the library, along with supporting demARTS, the yearly art demonstration held in the library's Bromley room.
Instead, she suggested that members of the public help create the art by creating different panels for each window.
Because it was Spring Break, the library was packed with patrons of all ages coming in for special programs throughout the week.
"And a lot of them were very creative and good artists," Spencer said.
"Books, of course," one person responded underneath a bright pink picture of a smiling mask.
And there were multiple comments about the staff.
These comments were surrounded by pictures of the river, rainbows and what appears to be a blue astronaut.
As for the question of what people wanted to share with the world?
After the art was finished and installed over the plywood protecting the broken windows, Spencer thanked the community for showing such overwhelming support.
The art will be displayed until Tuesday, April 9, at which time the library will be closed for the day and the windows replaced.
Up next for the library's art committee is the "Hang-it-all" exhibit in May.
According to Campanella, local art, along with the wide variety of culture the library brings to the community, is what makes the institution so integral.

They emulate success and teach those success principles to their children and therefore the children become successful."
