Antônio Adolfo da Fontoura Mena Barreto (Porto Alegre,  — Rio de Janeiro, ) foi um militar e político brasileiro.

Carreira Militar
Antônio Adolfo da Fontoura Mena Barreto nasceu em Porto Alegre, na então província do Rio Grande do Sul, no dia 21 de fevereiro de 1846, filho do marechal de campo Gaspar Francisco Mena Barreto e de Balbina Carneiro da Fontoura Mena Barreto. Assentou praça no Exército Brasileiro em outubro de 1861. Em 1864 seguiu para o campo de combate na guerra contra Aguirre, presidente do Uruguai. Com as forças do marechal João Propício Mena Barreto, mais tarde barão de São Gabriel, marchou para Paissandu e em seguida para Montevidéu, participando do sítio e da capitulação daquela cidade. Em 18 de fevereiro de 1865 foi promovido a alferes e partiu, então, sob as ordens do general Manuel Luís Osório, futuro marquês de Herval, para Entre Rios, província argentina ameaçada de invasão pelas tropas paraguaias. Presidido por Francisco Solano Lopez, o Paraguai havia declarado guerra ao Brasil em 13 de dezembro de 1864, e fez o mesmo em relação à Argentina em 18 de março de 1865. Membro das tropas brasileiras na região do Prata, Mena Barreto passou então a participar da Guerra do Paraguai. Comandado pelo coronel João Manuel Mena Barreto, rumou para o Passo da Pátria, incorporando-se mais tarde ao corpo de Exército estacionado em Curuzu, sob o comando do brigadeiro Manuel Marques de Sousa, o barão de Porto Alegre. Participou de toda a campanha, até seu encerramento em 1870.

Foi promovido a tenente em 13 de junho de 1876 e a capitão em 2 de setembro de 1884. Aproximou-se da política alistando-se nas fileiras do Partido Conservador, no Rio Grande do Sul. Considerando que o partido enfraquecia devido à orientação da chefia, convenceu seus correligionários da necessidade de mudança. Contudo, não exigiu para si a posição de chefe, e sim para Francisco da Silva Tavares, que assumiu a liderança do partido em abril de 1888. Desiludido com o regime monárquico, tornou-se abertamente um dos mais esforçados propagandistas da corrente republicana que crescia pelo país. Nas
vésperas do advento da República encontrava-se com seu regimento no Rio de Janeiro, então capital do Império. Não tardou a fazer alianças com companheiros de armas, propagandistas republicanos, como Benjamin Constant, Frederico Sólon Sampaio Ribeiro, Joaquim Inácio Batista Cardoso, Sebastião Bandeira, Saturnino Cardoso, Marciano de Magalhães, Lauro Müller, Augusto Tasso Fragoso, Adolfo Peña e outros. Tornou-se, então, um dos oficiais que mais ativamente trabalharam para a implantação do novo regime. Com a Proclamação da República, em 15 de novembro de 1889, como recompensa por seus serviços à causa republicana, foi promovido a major em 7 de janeiro de 1890 e a tenente-coronel pouco depois, em 17 de março.

Deputado Constituinte

Em 15 de setembro de 1890 foi eleito deputado federal constituinte pelo Rio Grande do Sul. Tomou posse em 15 de novembro seguinte e participou dos trabalhos de elaboração da primeira Constituição republicana do país, afinal promulgada no dia 24 de fevereiro de 1891. Em 25 de abril, foi transferido para a sua terra natal, como comandante do então 4º Regimento de Cavalaria Ligeira, em Itaqui. Nesse posto, prestou auxílio a Júlio de Castilhos na defesa das novas instituições. Em paralelo, a partir de junho, ao se iniciar a legislatura ordinária, ocupou uma cadeira na Câmara dos Deputados no Rio de Janeiro, agora Distrito Federal. No curto período em que esteve no parlamento, dedicou-se quase que integralmente a questões relativas à carreira militar. Além disso, postou-se na defesa do marechal Deodoro da Fonseca, primeiro presidente constitucional da República do Brasil. Fiel e devotado amigo do marechal-presidente, Mena Barreto com ele se solidarizou quando da crise que o levou à renúncia em 23 de novembro de 1891. Chegou a planejar uma invasão do Rio Grande do Sul, mas foi impedido pelas autoridades uruguaias. Com a substituição de Deodoro pelo vice-presidente Floriano Peixoto, retornou ao Rio de Janeiro e ligou-se aos adversários deste. Foi assim um dos signatários do chamado "Manifesto dos 13 Generais", publicado em 6 de abril de 1892. No documento, os oficiais sustentavam que, segundo a Constituição, deveria ser feita nova eleição para presidente, uma vez que o marechal Deodoro havia renunciado dentro do primeiro biênio governamental. Além disso, criticavam a intervenção do governo federal nos governos estaduais. Floriano Peixoto, declarando tratar-se de uma revolta de oficiais, em 10 de abril prendeu os signatários do manifesto. Em consequência, Mena Barreto foi encarcerado a bordo do encouraçado Aquidabã e desterrado para regiões do estado do Amazonas, onde permaneceu durante seis meses. Anistiado, reassumiu o mandato de deputado federal.

Combate à Revolução Federalista
Com o retorno de Júlio de Castilhos ao governo do Rio Grande do Sul em 1893, Mena Barreto passou a apoiar o governo contra a Revolução Federalista. O movimento ameaçou a estabilidade do governo republicano e, em resposta, Floriano Peixoto enviou tropas federais para o Sul com o objetivo de combatê-lo. Mena Barreto participou da campanha de março de 1893 até seu encerramento em agosto de 1895, incorporando-se, no comando da 2ª Brigada legalista, às fileiras dos chamados "pica-paus", seguidores de Júlio de Castilhos, que combatiam os "maragatos", defensores do federalismo e do parlamentarismo. Sua atuação durante o movimento assinalou sua reconciliação com Floriano Peixoto. No início da guerra civil, os revolucionários, comandados por João Nunes da Silva Tavares e Gumercindo Saraiva, concentraram-se em regiões de fronteira com o Uruguai, próximas a Bagé. Iniciaram, então, a invasão daquela cidade gaúcha, onde Mena Barreto assumira o comando das forças legais. Diante do sucesso inicial das ações dos maragatos e do recrudescimento da revolução, e existindo nas forças legalistas mais de um chefe de igual patente, Mena Barreto concluiu que faltava uma unidade de comando. Solicitou ao governo a nomeação de um oficial general que assumisse o comando em chefe das tropas, no que foi atendido por Floriano, que nomeou o general João Batista da Silva Teles para a função. Em abril de 1893, à frente de sua brigada, Mena Barreto combateu diretamente as forças federalistas, sendo ferido nos combates próximos ao povoado da Serrilhada. Mesmo ferido e quase derrotado, pois já havia perdido posições para os federalistas, conseguiu de novo conquistá-las, forçando o inimigo à fuga até o Uruguai. Em seguida, continuou a acompanhar as ações de Gumercindo Saraiva, que retornara a solo brasileiro, até o rio Negro, onde recebeu ordem de regressar a Bagé. Devido ao seu estado de saúde, foi-lhe determinado que regressasse a Pelotas e, mais tarde, à capital do estado. Ainda não restabelecido completamente, a convite do então ministro da Guerra general Francisco Antônio de Moura, e de Júlio de Castilhos, marchou para São Jerônimo, para dar combate às forças revolucionárias que assolavam o município de São Sepé, operação que não se realizou, pois os federalistas tomaram a direção de São Gabriel, onde derrotaram as forças legalistas. Em seguida, rumaram em direção norte e invadiram Santa Catarina. Mena Barreto marchou, então, para a cidade de Itajaí, naquele estado, onde Gumercindo Saraiva e outros líderes maragatos se achavam alojados. Depois de um combate que durou mais de três horas, os federalistas foram obrigados a abandonar a posição. Mena Barreto retirou-se com sua brigada e posteriormente foi designado para seguir em direção ao rio Pelotas, na divisa entre os estados do Rio Grande do Sul e Santa Catarina, para impedir a passagem de Gumercindo Saraiva que regressava triunfante do Paraná, depois da tomada da cidade da Lapa. Com as margens do rio guarnecidas e atacado ainda pelas forças de Mena Barreto reunidas às do general Artur Oscar, Gumercindo foi obrigado a uma nova retirada pelo centro do sertão. Foi derrotado pela tropa legalista comandada pelo general Lima no município de Passo Fundo e posto em fuga rumo à fronteira de Missões. Com essa constante perseguição, chegou a Carovi e ali, em 10 de agosto de 1894, foi derrotado e morto em combate pelas forças daquele general. Confiado o comando dos federalistas a Aparício Saraiva, irmão de Gumercindo, seguiram estes rumo à fronteira com o Uruguai, devendo efetuar uma passagem pelo rio Ibicuí. Mais uma vez as margens estavam guarnecidas pelas tropas lideradas por Mena Barreto, o que lhes impediu o intento. Nesse mesmo comando, Mena Barreto bateu as forças federalistas na Serra do Caverá, na localidade de Rosário do Sul e as que se encontravam em Lavras do Sul e em Camapuã. Nessa fase da revolução, em 24 de junho de 1895, foi morto na Batalha de Campo Osório o almirante Luís Filipe de Saldanha da Gama, um dos líderes da Revolta da Armada, movimento de oposição ao marechal Floriano Peixoto que, após ser derrotado no Rio de Janeiro, rumou para o Sul do país e uniu-se aos federalistas. Formalizou-se, então, um acordo para pacificação em 23 de agosto, e teve início a dissolução das forças patrióticas. Em face da formalização do fim do conflito, Mena Barreto deixou o campo de ação. Parte dos revoltosos, no entanto, não se conformando com o tratado de pacificação que acabara de ser assinado, continuou a percorrer os Pampas. Mena Barreto, a convite do general em chefe das forças legais e do governo Castilhos, seguiu com o intuito de fazê-los depor as armas, o que conseguiu, obtendo a sua dispersão desde Palmeira das Missões até Vacaria.

Continuação da Carreira Militar
Em 11 de fevereiro de 1896 foi promovido a coronel. Em 1902, acusado de ter proferido um pronunciamento, foi preso na Fortaleza de Santa Cruz da Barra, em Niterói. Anulada a decisão judicial, ainda assim foi mandado servir em Mato Grosso. Insatisfeito, pediu reforma em 18 de novembro de 1903, permanecendo fora do serviço ativo até 9 de janeiro de 1907. Revertido à efetividade, foi promovido a general de divisão no dia 14 de novembro de 1910.

Comandou a 1ª Região Militar, no Rio de Janeiro, entre 25 de novembro de 1910 e 12 de setembro de 1911.

Em dezembro de 1910, participou da retomada da Ilha das Cobras, também no Rio de Janeiro, na qual fuzileiros navais, presos em consequência da Revolta da Chibata, haviam iniciado nova rebelião.

Em seguida, foi ministro da Guerra do governo Hermes da Fonseca, entre 12 de setembro de 1911 e 30 de março de 1912, em substituição ao general Emídio Dantas Barreto, que assumiria o governo de Pernambuco.

Durante a administração de Mena Barreto à frente do Ministério da Guerra, por meio do Decreto nº 9.397, de 28 de fevereiro de 1912, foi criado o Colégio Militar de Porto Alegre. Sua permanência no ministério foi, entretanto, curta. Acusado de interferir na política estadual, especialmente do Rio Grande do Sul, durante uma reunião do gabinete ministerial realizada em 29 de março de 1912, exonerou-se. Reformou-se em seguida, afastando-se das atividades políticas.

Faleceu no Rio de Janeiro, então Distrito Federal, no dia 4 de junho de 1914. Era casado com Raquel Ribeiro Mena Barreto. Seu sobrinho, João de Deus Mena Barreto, foi um dos líderes da junta governativa provisória que administrou o país entre a deposição de Washington Luís, em 24 de outubro de 1930, e a posse de Getúlio Vargas, em 3 de novembro do mesmo ano.

Creating a Vacation Memory Book—A Great Way to Look Back on Your Cruise!
Once the cruise bug bites you—You typically keep going back for more. After a while, your cruise vacations start to blend together. I've been on ten cruises, and have found myself asking which ship was that cruise again? Which cruise did we do that excursion? Which boat had those really awesome shows?… I like to remember each of my vacations separately. I've had so many great memories on so many wonderful ships, and I found myself desiring a way that I could truly cherish each of those memories. I wanted to be able to go back and revisit them.
This is why I decided that creating a vacation memory book was a great idea! This is especially helpful with cruises. There are so many ships out there, so it's nice to be able to look back and decide for yourself if you want to go on something different from the ones you've done previously, or maybe you want to return to a boat you particularly loved! Either way a vacation memory book is a great resource to use when planning your next cruise!
When you go on a cruise you will get a card. On Carnival this is called your "sail and sign card." This card is your room key, your credit card, your drink pass, etc. It becomes such an important part of your cruise. You no longer need to carry around your wallet or your keys, because this card serves both purposes. I always keep mine on a lanyard, and walk around hands free!
After the cruise, your card becomes worthless. It feels really weird to have it go from being such an important thing to have with you on the boat, to serving no purpose back home. I always saved my cards though, wanting to do something with them.
One day I was at Staples shopping for school supplies for a class in college, and I saw these clear plastic card holders that hook into notebooks. You can get them here. I got very excited, and instantly thought of my box of cruise cards lying in storage. I now had a place to display my cards!
I keep all of my cruise cards in a special notebook now to help me document and remember my cruise memories. I can look at my cards to see if I've been on a particular ship before, to look back on the date I took a specific cruise, and to just have a keepsake from each vacation. I'm missing the Royal Caribbean card from the very first cruise I took when I was 12, but now that I have a place to put my cards, (and now that I'm older) I don't have to worry about losing them anymore!
After my card pages I have multiple clear page holders that I put colored paper in with the name of the ship I was on, and several pictures from the cruise. This helps me to remember that particular vacation. I love having pictures from the trip, because it really helps me to differentiate between the cruises when I can see the photo memories.
This can help me remember what a ship looked like, what sort of excursions we took, what destinations we traveled to, and who I traveled with. I have used my vacation book to help me when planning cruises. I have gone on the same boat a few different times, because certain ships stay at certain ports for a while. If I recognize the ship's name when I'm booking, but I can't remember too much about it, I just pull out my vacation book, and look at the picture memories from the trip. This really helps to refresh my memory, and helps me to decide if I want to go on that boat again, or look for another!
My vacation book is organized by the order in which I took my cruises. I have all of my cruise cards in first, because it's a quick easy way for me to glance at all the cruises at once, and after the cards I have my individual cruise pages. The first page is the first cruise I ever took, then the second, third, and so on. This also helps with remembering individual cruises, because you can give it a timeline in your mind.
Something that I wish I did more of is written down specific memories and added them to my cruise pages. I typed up some memories from a cruise I took when I was young, in which I made several friends, and had a lot of funny moments, but it's not something I did for every page. I do suggest adding some written words to your pages, because I think it makes the memories of your vacation even stronger.
Keeping a book with your cruise cards, ship names, pictures, and written memories really helps when planning future cruises. You will also love having something to look back on some of your most fun, relaxing, and happiest times. Start making your vacation book today!
12 Comments on Creating a Vacation Memory Book—A Great Way to Look Back on Your Cruise!
we get so caught up with everything digital! it's nice to just go back to basics! where it's more personalized!
Thanks for saying so! 🙂 I like having something I can hold and look back on.
This is such a great idea. I bet this works wonders for remembering all the specifics of every kind of vacation.
And I like this approach way better than the one I have right now. Meaning, having a various folders for each holiday is not as awesome as having actually something tangible that you can fall back on.
What a great idea. This could be used for other vacations also. I am going to use your plan to organize all my vacation memories.
Thanks Marla! It's definitely a lot of fun!
My wife and daughter are so into this right now. We took a trip to Maui last summer and I took notes every night as to what beaches we went to and other attractions we saw during the day. I knew that a month later we would forget all of the details. Anyway, they have so much fun putting these books together and I enjoy the finished product. One thing we always pick up on vacation are drink coasters, these make really cool pieces for a memory book. You have great ideas here and I can tell you and other readers, this is a fantastic idea. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Thanks Steve! It's so much fun. I love going back to look at this book! I love your drink coaster idea!! I already collect brewery stickers, and LOVE doing that. I might pick that one up to!
cute idea, love that you did something with your memories from the cruise!

Sounding the Body Electric. Experiments in Art and Music in Eastern Europe 1957-1984
Art Artwork from Poland. Published by Rebecca Gabrielle Cannon on Sunday 16 December 2012.
For sale : EUR €10.00
This book accompanying an exhibition at the Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź explores both the optimism and the anxiety that was to be found in the experimental zone of art and music.
In the aftermath of Stalinism, composers and artists in Eastern Europe were given new opportunities to experiment. New recording studios equipped with magnetic tape recorders and later, synthesisers were established, first in Warsaw in 1957 and then throughout Eastern Europe. New and often challenging forms of music were produced in these laboratories of sound.
The connections between the visual arts and experimental music were closer in the 1960s than perhaps any time before or since. Sound and image combined in artists' films, 'happenings' and sounding installations. Experimental forms of notation were also created to stimulate uninhibitd musical expression.
The early happenings and actions of the 1960s were associated with intellectual freedom and reform. The exhilaration of experimentation declined during the decade and in the 1970s new critical forms of art emerged which associated sound with surveillance and censorship.

I've always dreamt of ekiben journeys ever since I read it in Sakurai Kan and Hayase Jun's Ekiben Hitoritabi, a manga about a guy's journey around Japan one ekiben at a time. Ekiben's a portmanteau for eki (station) and bentou (boxed lunch) and some stations in Japan would have special ekiben featuring either the specialty of that city or region. Specialties can range from culinary techniques to ingredients available to that region.
Now, I won't bore you with the intricacies of Ekiben. There's a Beginning Japanology episode for that. So go watch it and perhaps get on board with me as I share my first ekiben experience.


As the sun sets and the dust settles, we find ourselves looking forward to our next rally.
We had a pretty good turnout considering the stifling heat we encountered. Although we did get some much needed rain early Saturday morning, and cooler temps.
We had 7 Eagles, 2 MCI's, 1 GMC, 1 Prevost, 1 Schoolie and two RTS's. A few that had made reservations could not make it for one reason or another.
We fueled up just south of Santo, TX and noticed a big puddle of oil under the drive axle. This is not good! Limped to Coffee Creek RV Resort and Sonnie located a mechanic that said he could fix it. Of course the seal for the hub could not be located, had to be shipped in ( got two ). It arrived on Monday, repaired and we were off to the races back to Georgetown, TX.
Dave Kellas was a huge help and felt good to have someone along during the process.........Thanks Dave!
Our hub had a sleeve for the inner bearing and had spun, it was pinned and secured as we could not find a hub to match ours. Somewhere in it's life I'm sure it had spun a bearing and they milled it out for the sleeve. I did call Ogburn and found that the hub had been discontinued many years ago, go figure!
We did go to Tejas coach, Charlies had one but also was very fond of it! We decided to get the original fixed and look for another one just in case.
Sonnie won the raffle on Saturday night, a prize he couldn't refuse! I'll post some pictures later once I have time. We got home at 11:30 pm and was too tuckered out to even fire up the computer.
Another adventure behind us and waiting for the next one!

"Secondary Eclipse Variability of Kepler-76 B" by Wesley Sandidge, Steven Kreyche et al.
Phase curves and secondary eclipses of gaseous exoplanets are diagnostic of not only atmospheric composition and meteorology, but variations in the phase curves and eclipses over time may point to variability driven by atmospheric dynamics. The dataset from NASA's Kepler Mission has accurate photometric precision and spans a period of over 1,000 days, providing an ideal dataset to study Kepler-76 b. Kepler-76 b is a 2 Jupiter-mass gas giant, with an equilibrium temperature approaching 2,000 K, in a 1.5-day orbit around its star, and the data reveal Kepler-76 b's secondary eclipse - with a depth of 87±6 parts-per-million (ppm), which corresponds to an effective temperature of 2,830 K. The data also reveals variations in the phase curve for Kepler 76-b secondary eclipse, with an average value of 50.5 ppm and values ranging from 35 ppm to 70 ppm over tens of days.

For your consideration is this custom kubotan key ring handmade by me. Unused.
My kubotan was made using a deer horn tine with the natural tip.
As you are walking to the parking lot keep this kubotan ready to defend yourself should the need arise. An effective self defense weapon that has the ability of saving your life in an attack.
I added a piece of re-constituted coral, a eye screw screwed into the horn and a key ring for your keys. All held together with a high strength epoxy.The tip of the horn has a blunt point but very effective. The deer was happy with it.

[ G. R. No. 131203, August 02, 2001 ]
PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, PLAINTIFF-APPELLEE, VS. GUILLERMO CARIÑO, ACCUSED-APPELLANT.
In its decision promulgated on August 25, 1997,[1] the Regional Trial Court of Echague, Isabela, Branch 24, in Criminal Case No. Br 24-0483, found accused-appellant Guillermo Cariño guilty of rape as defined and penalized under Article 335 of the Revised Penal Code. Appellant was first sentenced to death, but this penalty was reduced to reclusion perpetua in an order of the court a quo dated September 10, 1997, after a post-promulgation review of its decision wherein it was noted that the rape happened in 1990 or before the effectivity of Republic Act No. 7659, which restored the death penalty for heinous crimes. The trial court then motu proprio amended the dispositive portion of the original decision by reducing the penalty to reclusion perpetua.[2]
The facts of the case are as follows:
On October 24, 1995, appellant was charged with rape, allegedly committed as follows:
That on or about the month of January, 1990, in the municipality of Jones, province of Isabela, Philippines, and within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court, the said accused, did then and there, willfully, unlawfully and feloniously, by means of force, intimidation and lewd designs have (sic) carnal knowledge with one Mary Ann V. Cariño, against the latter's will and consent.
CONTRARY TO LAW.[3]
On arraignment, appellant with assistance of counsel pleaded not guilty to the charge. Thereafter, trial on the merits ensued.
The prosecution's evidence consisted of the medical certificate Exh. "A" issued by Dr. Marites Dalmacio,[4] and the testimonies of private complainant Maryann Cariño, her aunts Virgielyn Juan and Siony Cariño, her father Tito Cariño.
The defense offered in evidence the lone testimony of the accused.
Records show that private complainant is appellant's granddaughter, the daughter of his son Tito. Her mother died a week after her birth on September 12, 1977.[5] Tito remarried thereafter, and had four children by his second wife.[6]
At the time of the alleged offense, in January 1990, Maryann was 13 years old and a Grade 3 pupil. With her stepbrothers, stepsisters and grandfather she lived with her father in San Vicente, Jones, Isabela. As the eldest child, she looked after her younger siblings since Tito and his second wife were usually at their kaingin in the forest of Cama, San Vicente. They returned home only on Sundays.
Tito's house in San Vicente was made of cogon and bamboo. Its floor was raised one (1) meter from the ground. Near the house was a smaller hut, where appellant stayed. Tito had four (4) nearby neighbors, one of them his sister, Virgielyn Juan, whose house was only ten (10) meters away.
Sometime in January 1990, at around 11:00 P.M., while her parents were in Sitio Cama and while her siblings were asleep, appellant armed with a foot-long knife[7] entered the room where Maryann was sleeping. He woke her up and told her he was going to "use her" ("imbagana gamitin nac"),[8] threatening her that if she refused, he was going to kill her ("Okinnam, sige ket patayin ka").[9] Frightened, Maryann allowed him to do as he pleased.
Appellant went on top of the victim and after caressing her, he succeeded in inserting his stiff penis inside her vagina. He then stayed on top of her for almost an hour and after satisfying his lust dismounted her and left.[10]
That same night, the victim's aunt Virgielyn heard what sounded like Maryann weeping. Virgielyn woke up her sister-in-law, Siony, who was staying for the night. They went to Tito's house. Noiselessly, they crept beneath the floor and eavesdropped. They heard appellant telling Maryann to remove her panty ("Ikkatemon ta sapin mon."). [11] He threatened to kill her if she refused. They also heard a bolo being unsheathed.[12] Virgielyn and Siony, afraid, kept absolutely still. The victim pleaded with appellant to "remove it as it was painful" ("Araroy co, Lolo, ikkatemon ta nasaket.")[13] He replied "Why should I remove it when I am not yet through?" Appellant then flatly stated "If you are going to report it, I will kill you" ("No ipulong mo uray siasino patayen ca.")[14] Virgielyn and Siony then left. They did not reveal what they had overheard to anyone. Both were deathly afraid of appellant who had been previously jailed for having killed his brother and a nephew.[15]
From then on, appellant had his way with complainant, having sexual intercourse with her whenever he wanted.[16] Maryann did not resist or shout for help when she was sexually abused. She was terrified of her grandfather's death threats. Fearful for her life as well as those of her family members, she did not reveal her harrowing experience to anyone.[17]
In 1995, when Maryann could not endure her ordeal anymore, she told her father that appellant raped her.
On September 11, 1995, she filed a complaint for rape with the Municipal Circuit Trial Court of Jones-San Agustin, Isabela.[18] She underwent a medical examination. The examining physician found no lacerations in her hymen, but noted that she had a "ruptured hymen."[19] Finding probable cause to hold appellant for the rape charge, the municipal judge ordered his arrest and the filing of the proper information against him before the Regional Trial Court.
On March 10, 1997, after the prosecution had presented its evidence, appellant with leave of court filed a motion to dismiss on demurrer to evidence[20] on the ground that material inconsistencies and discrepancies in the testimonies of the prosecution witnesses raised reasonable doubt concerning appellant's probable guilt.
On March 24, 1997, the trial court denied appellant's motion and ordered the defense to present its evidence.
On the witness stand, appellant denied raping private complainant.[21] He professed ignorance why his own granddaughter would accuse him of such a crime. He claimed that he was seventy (70) years old and no longer capable of having an erection.[22]
After trial, the court rendered judgment as follows:
WHEREFORE, finding the accused GUILLERMO CARIÑO GUILTY beyond reasonable doubt of RAPE with which he is charged with the use of deadly weapon attended with the aggravating circumstance of relationship, the Court hereby sentences him to suffer the penalty of RECLUSION PERPETUA and to indemnify the victim Maryann Cariño P100,000.00 moral damages without subsidiary imprisonment in case of insolvency.
Hence this appeal, with appellant assigning the following errors:
THE COURT A QUO ERRED IN GIVING CREDENCE TO THE INCREDIBLE AND INCONSISTENT TESTIMONY OF THE PRIVATE COMPLAINANT.
THE COURT A QUO ERRED IN GIVING CREDENCE TO THE INCONSISTENT AND UNBELIEVABLE TESTIMONIES OF THE WITNESSES FOR THE PROSECUTION.[24]
Both assigned errors involve the issue of credibility of witnesses and shall be jointly discussed.
At the outset, appellant asks us to note that even the trial court noted inconsistencies in private complainant's testimony, to wit:
To be sure, there are some contradictions in the testimony of Maryann. For instance, she declared that the first sexual intercourse with the accused was done inside the house, only to change it later and say that it was done inside the hut in front of the house. Then she said that the first sexual intercourse was done at night only to change it later on and say that it was done at daytime.[25]
Appellant contends that it was error for the trial court to believe the victim's story despite these inconsistencies. He argues that mere passage of time is insufficient to account for such inconsistencies regarding time and place of the alleged rape because what she was being asked to recall was only the approximate time. Her inconsistencies put into serious doubt her credibility.
For the State, the Office of the Solicitor General admits that the victim indeed committed minor inconsistencies in narrating the details of where and when she was raped. However, according to the OSG, such lapses are understandable when a person is asked to recount details she considers too painful to recall.
In rape cases, we note that the only persons present during a rape are usually only the offender and the offended. While the lone testimony of the victim is sufficient to convict the accused, her testimony must be clear, positive, convincing, and consistent with human nature and the normal course of things.
In the present case, in our view, the perceived discrepancies in the testimony of Maryann concerning when and where she was raped do not destroy her credibility as complaining witness, much less vitiate the evidentiary value of said testimony. Inconsistencies of this nature can be expected of a young girl whose ravishment she is called upon to recall painfully. Rape victims hardly retain in their memories the dates, number of times, and manner of their ravishment. For this reason the exact time and date of the commission of the rape is not an essential element of the crime.[26] The victim in the present case only finished Grade 6.[27] But despite her educational limitations, her narration of her ordeal on the witness stand was straightforward, spontaneous and candid. Under rigid cross-examination, she was steadfast on her tragic tale of defilement. Lapses concerning the date, time, and place of the sexual assaults only tend to buttress, rather than weaken her credibility, since they show that she was neither coached nor were her answers contrived.[28] Besides, no motive has been attributed to her that would make her testify falsely against the accused.[29] Note that her alleged rapist was her own grandfather. A rape victim's testimony is entitled to great weight when she accuses a blood relative of having raped her.[30] Note finally that Maryann cried as she narrated her ravishment at her grandfather's hands.[31] The crying of the victim during her testimony is added hallmark of the credibility of the rape charge.[32]
Appellant next assails Maryann's failure to report immediately the alleged rape and the successive acts of sexual abuse that allegedly followed. He claims her silence for some sixty (60) months is inconsistent with the natural reaction of an outraged victim. Her long silence creates room for doubt on the veracity of her story, according to him.
The OSG, however, points out that Maryann's silence is not unusual among young victims of rape, considering that she was overwhelmed by fear. Young girls like Maryann often conceal the assaults on their virtue, out of shame, humiliation and social ostracism but their initial reluctance in reporting their rape is neither unknown nor uncommon.[33] Their vacillation in filing charges does not undermine their credibility if the delay can be satisfactorily explained.[34]
Moreover, Maryann was not unaware that her ravisher had been jailed for killing blood relatives. She had reason to fear and not to ignore his mortal threats. Delay in reporting a rape in the face of threats of death or physical violence should not be taken against the victim.[35]
Appellant also faults the testimonies of the prosecution's corroborative witnesses as highly incredulous and unworthy of belief. He insists it is contrary to human experience that Virgielyn and Siony did not rush to the victim's aid nor report the incident to the police when they heard her being raped. Their testimonies then are suspect as fabrications, according to him.
The OSG points out, however, that nowhere was it shown that the victim's father and two aunts were motivated by improper motives enough to falsely accuse their own kin of a crime so serious and despicable. They were only motivated by their sense of justice for a wronged kin.
We find Virgielyn and Siony's testimonies credible. It is not rare for witnesses to delay reporting a crime and the delay, if adequately explained, does not destroy their credibility.[36] We are convinced Virgielyn and Siony were indeed held back in terror because of appellant's violent reputation. They could not ignore the possibility of reprisals should they aid the victim.[37] Even the victim's father admitted in open court his fear of appellant, as the latter was capable of carrying out any threat he might make.[38] Death threats and fear of reprisals are adequate reasons why witnesses are reluctant to get involved in criminal cases.[39]
Noteworthy, corroborative testimonies of witnesses in this case are mere icing on the cake. The peculiar nature of rape is that conviction or acquittal depends almost entirely upon private complainant's word.[40] Her accusations are supported by her credible, pertinent, and material testimony.
The gravamen of rape is carnal knowledge of a woman against her will or without her consent.[41] Appellant failed to rebut private complainant's categorical testimony that he was able to ravish her by holding a bladed weapon, with threats to kill her. The act of holding a knife by itself is strongly suggestive of force and threatening the victim with a knife is sufficient to bring a woman, much more a young and naïve barrio lass, to submission.[42] Against Maryann's positive declaration, all he can offer is mere self-serving denial. Denial is an inherently weak defense, which cannot prevail over the positive testimony of private complainant.[43] Hence, his appeal must fail for sheer want of merit.
Appellant is the grandfather of the victim. Under the Revised Penal Code, the alternative circumstance of relationship is considered "when the offended party is the spouse, ascendant, descendant, legitimate, natural, or adopted brother or sister, or relative by affinity in the same degrees of the offender."[44] The relationship between appellant and private complainant is especially aggravating circumstance in this case.
Some modifications in the monetary awards are in order. The trial court did not award any civil indemnity which current jurisprudence has fixed at P50,000.00.[45] Accordingly, appellant is further sentenced to indemnify private complainant in the amount of P50,000.00 for the rape he committed against her. We however reduce the moral damages of P100,000.00 to P50,000.00, conformably with prevailing jurisprudence. The alternative circumstance of relationship having aggravated the offense, the award of P25,000.00 as exemplary damages is in order.[46]
WHEREFORE, the decision of the Regional Trial Court finding GUILLERMO CARIÑO guilty beyond reasonable doubt of rape and sentencing him to reclusion perpetua is AFFIRMED, with the MODIFICATION that he is also sentenced to pay complainant Maryann Cariño the amount of P50,000.00 as civil indemnity, P50,000.00 as moral damages and P25,000.00 as exemplary damages. Costs against appellant.

Cats aren't generally as prone as dogs to get excited about human food, but they are curious creatures by nature and one of the ways they explore their environments is through their tastebuds. Never underestimate what cats will put in their mouths. Not only do cats have very sensitive stomachs that can get upset by unfamiliar foods, but many human foods can be toxic.
Keep the ASPCA's Poison Control Hotline on hand in case of an emergency.
Chocolate contains caffeine and Theobromine, both of which can be highly toxic to cats, even in small amounts. Chocolate can immediately cause vomiting and diarrhea, and may cause long term problems for your cat's heart and nervous system.
The sulfoxides and disulfides in onions and garlic can cause damage to your cat's red blood cells, ultimately causing her to become anemic.

MEAC basketball tournament will stay in Norfolk at least three more years, sources say
By Harry Minium
North Carolina Central Eagles celebrate their win over Norfolk State University in the MEAC championship game Saturday, March 11, 2017 at Scope. Central won the game 67-59. (ill Tiernan)
The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference will announce later this month that it has signed a three-year extension to keep its men's and women's basketball tournaments at Scope, according to two sources at league schools who asked not to be identified.
The tournaments moved to Norfolk in 2013 from Winston-Salem, N.C., and have seen a steady growth in ticket sales, from 52,293 in 2013 to 74,281 in 2016.
One of Norfolk's biggest strengths is its central location, MEAC officials have said, with seven of the league's 13 schools within a 4½-hour drive. With the contract ready to expire after this year's event, the MEAC had put the tournament up for bid. The league had offers from several cities, officials said late last year.
The MEAC is headquartered in Norfolk, and has two local schools in Norfolk State and Hampton University. However, Hampton is leaving for the Big South next season, leading to speculation the tournament might go elsewhere.
MEAC commissioner Dennis Thomas would not confirm or deny Thursday that an extension has been agreed to, but profusely praised Norfolk officials, including Mayor Kenny Alexander and city manager Doug Smith.
"They have been absolutely tremendous to work with," he said. "Our fans have indicated that they are very pleased with the kind of hospitality that the city has to offer."
He praised the continuing redevelopment of downtown, including the opening of the Waterside District and The Main Hilton hotel.
"That gives our fans two more venues to enjoy," he said.
"The conference likes the direction the city continues to move in. It's a progressive- thinking city."
Terms of the agreement aren't known, but the city has subsidized the tournament in past years, providing $240,000 in 2016, the last year for which records are available.
City officials said they make back far more than that in hotel and meals taxes generated by MEAC fans. Downtown hotels were sold out for most of the week, and the tournament generated more than 5,000 hotel night stays in Norfolk.
Many fans stayed at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, league officials said.
The MEAC's biggest concern about Norfolk has been the condition of Scope, which opened in 1971 and, despite millions of dollars of renovations, is showing its age.
Alexander has agreed the arena needs to be upgraded. The city is considering an extensive renovation and expansion of the facility.
"We all know that the Scope has it drawbacks, its limitations," Thomas said. "At some point, I hope that the city council, the mayor and other stakeholders will address that issue. And not just for a basketball. It should be addressed for other kinds of events.
"If Norfolk is going to continue to be a destination city, it needs a better venue."
Thomas said negotiations for Hampton's exit from the MEAC haven't been completed , but that its men's and women's teams will compete in the tournament. When Hampton announced its exit in November, MEAC officials declined comment on whether they would be allowed to participate.
Howard University, Coppin State, Morgan State, Delaware State, Maryland Eastern Shore, North Carolina Central, North Carolina A&T, South Carolina State, Savannah State, Florida A&M and Bethune-Cookman are also MEAC members .
Savannah State will withdraw from the league this summer and drop to the Division II Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, school officials said. Despite the impending exits of the Tigers and Hampton, MEAC officials have not announced any expansion plans.

SKU: Beef Filet Tenderloin Steak 8 oz.
The beef filet tenderloin is the most tender cut of beef, lean, yet succulent. It has a buttery texture with a subtle flavor, and its compact size is perfect for grilling.


It is a clamping element used in all of our welding tables – HOBBY, EXPERT and PROFI. It is compatible with all our welding tables! When designing it we put emphasis on functionality and reliability. We used quality materials. Via subsequent chemico-heat treatment, we have achieved high strength and flexibility together with low weight.
This process does not cause permanent deformation during normal use. In conjunction with the HOBBY adapter 555 065 or the 655 013 for EXPERT and PROFI and with clamp 555 017, it forms the perfect fastening assembly which is very efficient, fast and safe.
It serves to clamp the welded parts to the welding table surface. Its great advantage is seamless vertical adjustment, which is limited only by the length of the stiffener. The work position on the welding table surface changes easily simply by inserting it or by pulling it out of the adapter that is attached to the table and forms the stiffener bed. After setting the working height, the welded part is fastened by a bolt. The welding process of the welded part is very fast, i.e. productive and safe.


State regulators are fundamentally failing residents of assisted living homes for the elderly, leading to abuse, neglect and death, according to testimony on Tuesday at two legislative hearings.
Complaints to the departments of Public Health and Social Services are closed without thorough investigation, witnesses told lawmakers, or they are never responded to at all.
Penalties against violators are so weak, and take so long to be imposed, there is little incentive for licensees to comply with the rules, advocates testified.
And when crimes against the elderly are reported to state inspectors, they are processed as administrative violations and rarely sent to police or prosecutors, the legislators were told.
The hearings were called in Sacramento after U-T San Diego published "Deadly Neglect," a series of reports in September and December resulting from a ten-month partnership with the CHCF Center for Health Reporting.
The investigation revealed that 27 deaths in San Diego County assisted living homes in recent years were the direct result of neglect and abuse.
The series exposed bribery allegations against state inspectors that were never prosecuted and criminal acts that were never reported to police. The Department of Social Services' internal police force has not made an arrest since 2004, the U-T reported.
The news organizations Frontline, ProPublica and The Center for Investigative Reporting also published or broadcast lengthy investigations into abuse and neglect inside board-and-care homes, hospitals and skilled nursing centers last year.
The publicity prompted the chairmen of the Senate and Assembly Human Services committees to convene a joint hearing to get answers from state bureaucrats who license and regulate about 7,500 assisted living homes.
Throughout the day, advocates told lawmakers that regulators failed to respond to complaints in a professional or timely manner.
Too often, regulators looked the other way when confronted with potential abuses or waited too long to respond to problems reported by family members or others, witnesses said.
Markie Parker testified that she spent 21 years as a regulator before resigning in frustration because top Public Health administrators would not allow her to do her job effectively.
She told a joint session of the Senate's Health and Business, Professions and Economic Development committees that senior managers discouraged employees from conducting thorough investigations and acting on their findings.
Advocates complained that consumers had no access to information about assisted living homes because the computer system the department relies on is from the 1990s. They criticized regulators for going easy on violators.
"The enforcement system creates no accountability," said Pat McGinnis of California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform, which has been lobbying for stricter regulations and tougher penalties for years.
McGinnis cited the case of Iris Ramirez, a facility operator who was featured in the U-T San Diego report about operators accused of paying bribes to avoid negative inspections.
According to court records, Ramirez admitted to paying inspectors and purchasing plane tickets for them but continues to run — and profit from — four assisted-living homes. She has not responded to the U-T's attempts to discuss the allegations with her.
Social Services Director Will Lightbourne acknowledged deep problems in his agency, including a notorious case from October when 19 elderly residents were abandoned at a Castro Valley home.
Lightbourne said his office is working on a plan to alert consumers to problem homes.
The only way family members can check out potential residences for their loved ones now is to make an appointment at a regional office and read a redacted file in person some days later.
The director said he hopes to develop a system that allows consumers to access investigative records online. In the meantime, the plan is to add references to violations to the existing website so people at least know to read the file in person.
"We expect this to be operational in the spring," Lightbourne said.
State long-term care ombudsman Joseph Rodrigues testified that licensing inspectors too often accept an operator's version of events over that of his staff or complainants.
In one case, Rodrigues said, action was never taken against a home where an employee was accused of registering a client's sport-utility vehicle in the employee's name.
He criticized investigators for dragging their feet in investigations, citing one case in which a pawnshop reported seeing a Rolex watch that was stolen from a client and the case was still under investigation years later.
Rodrigues also singled out a home where reports of medication errors persisted for months without action by regulators.
"This is ongoing, and to this day (licensing) has not cited this facility," Rodrigues told the panel.
Many of the problems identified in the "Deadly Neglect" series and other media investigations are addressed in the RCFE Reform Act of 2014, a package of bills introduced last month. RCFE is short for residential care facility for the elderly, the state term for assisted-living homes.
Among other things, the bills would require more frequent inspections, which now are required once every five years. They also would raise the penalty for violations, now set at $150 even if a death occurs.
State officials did not respond to specific concerns addressed by witnesses. Nor did they explain why so many cases are not referred to police or prosecutors for possible criminal charges.
Ed Howard of the Center for Public Interest Law urged legislators to do more than pass laws. He said senators should summon department heads to the Capitol every month for an in-person update.

Opportunity, a remarkably durable NASA rover designed to roll along the surface of Mars for three months, has stopped communicating with Earth after 15 years of service, officials said on Wednesday, ending a mission that astounded the US space agency.
Opportunity's equipment may have been compromised by the storm, which struck while the rover was at a site called Perseverance Valley and blotted out sunlight needed by the robot's solar panels, officials said.
The vehicle was built to drive six-tenths of a mile (1km), but ended up covering 28 miles (45km) and lasting longer on Mars than any other robot sent to the surface of the Red Planet.
On Tuesday, engineers sent a transmission in a last attempt to revive the rover, but heard nothing back, said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate.
"It is, therefore, that I am standing here with a sense of deep appreciation and gratitude that I declare the Opportunity mission as complete," Zurbuchen said during an online video presentation at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
And NASA's InSight spacecraft, the first robotic lander designed to study the deep interior of a distant world, touched down safely on the surface of Mars in November, with instruments to detect planetary seismic rumblings never measured anywhere but Earth.

Q: Pressure of the same mass of fluids of different densities? Suppose I have 2 fluids of different densities, and I pour the same mass of each fluid into 2 identical cups. I feel like I'm confusing myself here — on one hand hand, both cups contain  the same mass of fluid, so mg/A is equal for both. At the same time, the denser liquid occupies less volume, and the depth from the atmosphere to the bottom of the cup is less. Am I being too naive and forgetting something, like omni-directionality or something along those lines? Does the difference is density perfectly match out the difference in depth? Thank you!

A: It depends on the shape of the container.  If the sides are vertical, then the ratio of depths will be inversely as the ratio of densities, and the pressure at the bottom of each will be the same: in one container you have a larger depth, but a smaller pressure gradient, in the other a smaller depth but an equally larger pressure gradient. However, if the sides of the containers slope, then all bets are off, because the depth no longer scales proportionally with the volume.

A: You are correct. The difference in density matches perfectly depth occupied in a container of constant horizontal cross section. Refer to buoyancy as it works similarly - the depth a less dense liquid in a container that is floating sinks in the liquid the container floats in is related to the densites of the 2 liquids.

A: It may help you understand what is happening here if you think in terms of weight rather than in terms of mass.  Weight and mass are related by the equation $W = mG$, where $W$ is the weight of an object, $m$ is the mass of the object, and $G$ is the local gravitational constant ($32.2 \text{ ft/sec/sec}$ at sea level).  If your 2 identical cups are at about the same elevation, $G$ will be essentially the same for both cups.  Therefore, you can weigh and put in say 2 lbs of the less dense fluid into cup 1, and 2 lbs of the heaverier fluid in cup 2.  Assuming your cups have vertical side walls, cup 1 will be more full than cup 2.
Since density, $d$, is $W$/volume, $A \cdot h$ where $A$ is the area of the cup cross section and $h$ is the height of the fluid, we have:
cup 1      $$h_1 A d_1 = W_1  = 2 \text{ lbs}$$
  cup 2      $$h_2 A d_2 = W_2  = 2 \text{ lbs}$$
and we get  $h_1 d_1 = h_2 d_2$,   or  $h_1/h_2 =d_2/d_1$,  so yes, the ratio of the heights is inversely proportional to the ratio of the densities.

Column: We need to get behind live music on this fork
By Troy Gustavson
KATHARINE SCHROEDER PHOTO | The NOFO Rock & Folk Fest at Peconic Bay Winery was one attempt to bring live music to the North Fork.
At the risk of stirring up some of those old "Troy has South Fork envy" complaints that arose many years ago when I compared downtown Greenport unfavorably to downtown Sag Harbor, this week I wish to discuss the distinct differences between Long Island's two forks when it comes to presenting live music.
At its most elemental level, it comes down to this: How come the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center is so vital but Riverhead's Suffolk Theatre remains stuck in neutral several decades after it was first proposed as a performing arts center?
Or why does East Hampton's Stephen Talkhouse nightclub consistently attract nationally acclaimed performers while North Fork venues present mostly local talent.
Call me negative, but when I think of live music here I think mostly of what might have been. Like the several hundred hearty souls who attended the East End Arts Council's Delbert McClinton concert at the Talmage farm on Sound Avenue in Baiting Hollow.
Or the disappointing turnouts (to me, at least) at the first two NOFO Music Festivals at Peconic Bay Winery in Cutchogue — although festival organizer Josh Horton has a more upbeat interpretation of that experience, as expressed in his comments below. Or the suspension for one year of the Riverhead Blues Festival, followed by a 2012 resumption that left the sponsor, Vail-Leavitt Music Hall, thousands of dollars in the red.
There have been some limited successes, of course. Like the short-lived rock and roll shows promoter Preston Powell once brought to the movie theater in Greenport. Or the generally low-key musical performances that have become standard at North Fork vineyards. (Said one wag I surveyed on this question: "It's just that those bands all work for less than $200.")
Or the live music offerings of The Arts in Southold Town — although even that volunteer-based organization was forced to disband in part because of the rigors of presenting.
Also on the plus side of the ledger, says East End Arts executive director Pat Snyder, is "the success of Winterfest Jazz on the Vine, which drew an estimated 7,500 people to the North Fork in the dead of winter. Even though vineyards were not built for performance," she continues, "we make the best of it (along with a really good glass of wine) and enjoy world-class music. Last winter we had at least six Grammy-winning or -nominated musicians. The audience came from well beyond the Suffolk County borders. I believe it's a matter of knowing who we are as an area and leveraging those qualities."
What it comes down to — most of the people I've spoken to seem to agree — is geography and demographics.
Geographically speaking, Westhampton is much more accessible to the hundreds of thousands of potential customers who live in Brookhaven and Southampton towns. What's more, as another friend points out, somewhat defensively, "While North Forkers will readily go to the South Side for stuff, those people often feel like they're taking their lives in their own hands to come north."
Demographically speaking, there's significantly more wealth and a younger audience on the South Fork. The kind of wealth, in the form of corporate sponsorships and individual donations, that can help underwrite operating losses at the performing arts center in Westhampton.
And the kind of audience that most likely will sell out upcoming shows for such big name acts as Rufus Wainwright, Joe Walsh, Pat Metheny and k.d. lang. And with ticket prices ranging from just under $100 to just under $150!
Price resistance is definitely a factor here on the North Fork. One-day passes to the NOFO Fest approached $50, and even at that comparatively low level there appeared to be resistance. That's one of the reasons why NOFO will be reconstituted this summer as a concert series instead of a multiple-day festival.
Still, organizer Josh Horton chooses to place a more upbeat spin on the change of plans, saying it's "not grounded in the difficulty of producing live music initiatives." Nor was he discouraged by the response to the first two festivals.
Instead, he says, "There's a tremendous opportunity and demand for quality live music. That's what we experienced with the first two NOFO festivals in 2010 and '11. But this year, we're taking a slightly different approach. Instead of being all things to all people over the course of two days," he said, NOFO will become a concert series that presents national acts in a "more intimate setting." And at a significantly reduced price.
Case in point: the just-announced tribute to Levon Helm, the recently departed founding member of The Band, scheduled for 2 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 19, on the main lawn at Peconic Bay Winery. It will feature Helm's daughter, Amy Helm, and the Dirt Farmer Band, which backed up Levon Helm on two award-winning albums. And tickets will be priced at just $20 in advance, $25 at the gate.
So instead of needing to sell 1,000 tickets, as they did with the larger festival, Josh said, they'll need to sell 200 to 300.
"We want to make sure the focus is on the music," he said, noting how the "time and focus spent on vendors and additional activities became a large part of the festival and diminished the focus on the music."
So, North Fork music fans, it's time to put your money where your mouth is. Let's start small, with the purchase of a ticket or two for the Levon Helm show. And if that works out, we can start to think bigger, say the purchase and remodeling of the old Greenport Auditorium into a live contemporary music venue that makes the ghost of Stephen Talkhouse wish his Native American tribe had relocated to the North Fork.

Drivy secures €31 million to expand its car rental marketplace internationally
By Robin Wauters , April 28th, 2016.
French startup Drivy wants to become the leading car rental marketplace in Europe, and has raised €31 million to make good on its plans through a boost in product development and further international expansion.
Drivy has already attracted 850,000 users across France, Germany and Spain, and plans to launch in a number of other European countries (including the UK) before the end of the year.
The fresh capital injection was led by Cathay Innovation and Nokia Growth Partners, with participation of early investors Bpifrance (through its Ecotechnologie Fund), Via-ID (Mobivia group) and Index Ventures. The round brings the total amount raised by Drivy since it was founded in 2010 to €47 million.
A few months ago, the startup launched 'Drivy Open', neat technology that enables drivers to open cars with their smartphones and carry out self-service rentals. Drivy says it will give priority to the deployment of the service in several major European cities in the coming months.
Paulin Dementhon, founder and CEO of Drivy, said: "Drivy combines the quality of car-sharing, user experience and the scale of peer-to-peer marketplaces, with 3-digits growth every year. We have met all conditions to accelerate international expansion - great apps, a worldwide insurance partnership, and a strong management team. We will also continue to reduce friction in the rental process thanks to mobile and telematics, with Drivy Open self-service rentals spearheading this effort".

A switch is a device that is used to control current flow in an electrical circuit. A simple switch provides electrical connection between two terminals when a conductor connected to one terminal is brought into contact with another terminal. There are two types of pole switches, namely: the single pole and the double pole switch. We'll tell you more about these switches and their differences in this article.
A single pole switch usually refers to a single pole, single throw switch (SPST). It is a switch that provides a simple connect or disconnect capability across two terminals. It is commonly used for on/off applications such as light switches.
A double pole switch may refer to a double pole, single throw switch (DPST). It is simply the combination of two SPST switches simultaneously controlled by a single mechanism.
The main difference between a single pole switch and a double pole switch is related to the number of terminals they have and the number of circuits they control. A switch is said to be "open" when there is no current flow between two terminals and is "closed" when the current flows from one terminal to the other. A common application of a switch is to turn the room lights on or off.
A double pole switch, on the other hand, is essentially a switch that allows or disallows current flow between two distinct lines or circuits at the same time. It can either be a DPST (double pole, single throw) switch or a DPDT (double pole, double throw) switch. A DPST has 4 terminals, while a DPDT has 6 terminals. This is essentially two SPDT switches that are controlled by a single mechanism.
Single pole switches control only a single circuit whereas double pole switches are capable of controlling two circuits simultaneously.

Q: Jump div to bottom with out scrolling the page I have an inner div that contains a list with the most recent list item being at the bottom. The div is part of a larger page. Essentially i want the div to default to the end of the list item and the user will then scroll upwards within the div to see the older content. I do not want the page to be scrolled to the bottom of the div which would occur if i used the following function
//Slide chat down to bottom
$("#div").scrollTop(function(){
    return $(this).height();
});

The outer div would be the page at large. therefore the user would need to scroll down to the inner div and then see the last list item. If they want they can then use the inner scroll bar to look up older items
thanks

A: You can do that in plain JavaScript:
var inner = document.querySelector('.inner');
inner.scrollTop = inner.scrollHeight;

DEMO


Then, let's add a universal 401(k) program, one that middle-class people can invest in as soon as they start earning wages or generating income.
A program that's competitive with what the corporate sector can offer, instead of a poor relation to what elected officials and corporate executives get.
A universal program that will support a culture of entrepreneurship, and help small business people pursue our vision by helping us access the best talent available, instead of stacking the deck against us.
Might the Bush administration embrace such an approach on its own? Don't bet the family farm on it.
Republican presidential campaigns make a populist noise every four years, but it's pure deception. The neo-conservative agenda is explicitly aimed at creating and preserving an aristocracy of corporate wealth and power, and to extending that empire internationally.
Meanwhile, the middle class is left to run on the rat wheel of an every-man-for-himself economic system designed to keep us weak and compliant.
If President Bush really wanted an "ownership" society, his agenda would give middle-class American families a reasonable hope of establishing the means to "own" our retirement.
Instead, he uses fear and hype to con us into dismantling Social Security.
A simple, progressive and universal 401(k) program - built on the bedrock of a safe and sound Social Security system - would enhance the initiative and industry of the middle-class professionals, entrepreneurs and small business owners who have always been the creators of America's wealth and the bulwark of our communities.
That is the best approach, and now is the time to execute it.
We should demand that the Bush administration adopt this position and vigorously push its Republican Congress to implement it.

Q: JS load order of Gmaps4Rails in rails 3.2 using asset pipeline I've been trying to get gmaps4rails working for hours.  I think it's the load order, I even tried cloning a demo app using rails 3.2 and ruby 1.9.3-- still showing a blank map with no markers.  My JSON is correct from the model.
Project:
https://github.com/apneadiving/Google-Maps-for-Rails
-- application.html.erb (bootstrapped)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
    <%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", :media => "all" %>
  </head>
  <body>
    <%= yield %>
    <%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
  </body>
</html>

-- Gemfile
gem "gmaps4rails", "~> 1.4.8"

-- Application.js
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require twitter/bootstrap
//= require gmaps4rails/gmaps4rails.base
//= require gmaps4rails/gmaps4rails.googlemaps
//= require_tree .

-- user.rb
acts_as_gmappable
def gmaps4rails_address
      "#{self.address}, #{self.city}"
  end
-- schema
  create_table "users", :force => true do |t|
    t.string   "name"
    t.datetime "created_at", :null => false
    t.datetime "updated_at", :null => false
    t.string   "address"
    t.string   "city"
    t.float    "latitude"
    t.float    "longitude"
    t.boolean  "gmaps"
  end

-- UsersController
 def index
    @bars = User.all
    @json = User.all.to_gmaps4railsrespond_to do |format|
  format.html # index.html.erb
  format.json { render json: @users }
end

end
*-- my view *
<%= gmaps4rails(@json) %>
<%= @json %>

*-- my json printed from the view *
[{"lat":37.7381599,"lng":-122.3803166},{"lat":37.5121003,"lng":-122.2009814},{"lat":33.9964092,"lng":-118.4725106}]

A: Sorry to read you wasted time: it's not the purpose of my gem :)
I don't see yield :scripts in your layout. It's one of the mandatory prerequisites stated in the project's homepage.

A: put the yield :scripts in your controller view and the <%= javascript_include_tag "application" %> before that. ( e.g. put it in the header of your application.html.erb )
Hope it helps. I was pulling my hair on this for an hour ...

CU men's basketball: Buffs a possible landing…
CU men's basketball: Buffs a possible landing spot for Arkansas transfer
Assuming Colorado men's basketball coach Tad Boyle lands the post player that remains the only possible missing ingredient in the 2016-17 rotation, the second open scholarship afforded by the recent transfers of Tre'Shaun Fletcher and Kenan Guzonjic is the gambler's equivalent of free money.
Boyle can play that hand by possibly stockpiling depth for further down the road by adding a transfer, or he can hold fast and add that scholarship to the four that will be available after the 2017 graduations of Xavier Johnson, Wesley Gordon, Josh Fortune and Derrick White.
Reports are surfacing that Boyle is toying with the idea of adding depth now for future use.
According to reports by Rivals.com and CBSSports.com, CU is emerging as a possible landing spot for Jimmy Whitt, who announced last week he is leaving Arkansas after just one season.
Regarded as a four-star recruit out of high school, Whitt appeared in all 32 games for Arkansas this season, making 10 starts while averaging 17.2 minutes and 6.1 points. The 6-foot-4 guard was recruited by CU out of Hickman High School in Columbia, Mo., and was a club teammate of current Buffs Dom Collier and Tory Miller.
Whitt will not be eligible until the 2017-18 season — when Collier is a senior and after Fortune and White have moved on. He would have three years of eligibility remaining alongside incoming freshmen guards Deleon Brown and Bryce Peters.
Whitt also is reportedly drawing interest from Kansas, Oklahoma, North Carolina State and Wisconsin.
