It Is State Cup Season !
Date: Monday November 29, 2021
State Championships and promotion to the coveted Piedmont National League will be up for grabs over the next three weekends in South Carolina youth soccer. The levels of SCYSA are designed to pit similar ability level teams against one another while advancing through a series of promotions and relegations to earn their position each year. The top eight teams from each level starting at PMSL Classic qualify to play for the state championships. The levels start with #1 Recreational, #2 Open, #3 PMSL Classic #4. SCSCL Challenge and end at #5 Piedmont National League. Five Coast FA teams are in contention to claim the USYS top honors after superb results in their fall seasons.
Coast 04g Red coached by Mark Sanchez won the U19 SCSCL Challenge Division posting an 11-1-0 record in league play. The girls will qualify for State Cup as a #3 seed and host #6 seed SCUFC from Columbia on Saturday December 4th at Socastee Park with a 4pm kickoff. The higher seed earns the right to host the quarterfinal match. The semi finals and finals will be played in Rock Hill on December 17 & 18.
Coast 06g Red coached by RJ Bass won the U16 SCSCL Challenge Division with a 9-1-2 fall season record. The girls also qualify as a #3 seed and earned the right to host #6 seed CESA Challenge from Greenville on Saturday December 4th at Socastee Park with a 2pm start time. A win would advance the team to Rock Hill for the Final Four on December 17 & 18.
Coast 07 Red coached by Joel Banta won the U15 SCSCL Challenge Division after a solid 10-1-0 fall campaign. They enter as a #4 seed and also earn the right to host #5 seed Carolina FC Elite from Spartanburg at Socastee Park on Saturday December 4th. The kickoff time for this match will be at 2pm. After a one year absence from the Piedmont level Coach Banta's boys are determined to return to the highest level of USYS play.
Coast 03 Red coached by Brian Smith played in the Piedmont level for the first time this fall against top teams from Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. They will qualify for State Cup as a #4 seed and host #5 CASC Revolution from Charleston on Sunday December 5th at Socastee Park. The kickoff is set for 2pm for the quarterfinal match.
Coast 09 Red coached by Mark Vollink are in a little different situation. The boys won the U13 SCSCL Challenge Division this fall with a 5-1-0 record and will be promoted to the Piedmont Division for the spring 2022 season. The state championship for the U13 age group is not played until May of 2022. "This team played a very difficult fall schedule and had terrific results. We felt this group had future Piedmont level potential, but Coach Mark Vollink got them there a year or so earlier than we had anticipated " said Coast DOC Ross Morgan. Coach Vollink added " in all of my years of coaching I have never had the opportunity to coach such a phenomenal team of boys with an awesome group of parents. The boys have came a long way over the past eighteen months and I have enjoyed watching them grow as individuals and also as a team. It has been their hard work on and off the field that has gotten them to this point. I look forward to the challenge of playing in the Piedmont League this spring."
Several additional Coast FA teams will be competing for the OPEN State Cup in Lexington this weekend with champions being crowned on Sunday December 5th.
Coast 03g Black coached by Rob Bramble won the U19 Open League with an undefeated fall season record of 8-0-2. The format for the OPEN State Cup is similar to a traditional event where teams are placed in groups and compete over a two day time span.
Coast 07 Black coached by Aleksander Ljubicic also won his division in the fall U15 Open League. The boys posted a 5-1-0 fall record to advance to the OPEN League State Cup weekend
Coast 06g Black coached by Gabby Smychynsky will also compete in the OPEN State Cup after a successful 5-5-0 fall campaign. This was the first year of competition for the 06g Black team.

Hurricane Grace strikes Mexico for a second time and leaves at least 8 dead
Floods in Mexico as Hurricane Grace lands for second time. [Image source/AFP News Agency YouTube video]
The Hurricane drenched coastal and inland areas including the main tourist strip of Mexico. It resulted in mudslides and floods.
by Prabir Ghose
August 23, 2021 at 1:29 AM August 23, 2021 at 1:29 AM
It is now the turn of Mexico to fall victim to a Hurricane. The climatic disaster drenched coastal and inland areas, and it was a second landfall within two days. Authorities mentioned at least eight deaths. The Hurricane lost power as it passed over the Yucatan Peninsula, the main tourist strip of Mexico. However, it regained power and reached the coast a second time.
ABC News says there were incidents of mudslides and flooding. These are normal in such situations and lead to difficulties in Travel. Many localities remain isolated, and the infrastructure suffers damages.
Uprooted electric poles disturb the supply of electricity and people face the consequences. Cuitláhuac García is the governor of Mexico's Veracruz state. He said the loss of power affected more than 330,000 people, and the departments have started restoration work. Electricity is indispensable in today's world, and its absence gives rise to a sense of helplessness at all levels. In September 2017, Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico and blackout days returned in April 2018. At these times, Renewable Energy can tide over the crisis. When Hurricane Maria struck, Elon Musk sent solar equipment to generate electricity to run emergency services like hospitals.
The Hurricane hit near a resort town in Yucatan known for its Mayan ruins
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Grace became a tropical storm on Saturday with wind speeds of 45 mph. Its center was about 35 miles from Mexico City. It seems Grace weakened as it passed over a mountain range and brought heavy rains to the Mexico City region.
ABC News adds that Grace gave rise to climatic disorders like strong winds, high waves, and rain before approaching the shore. These were in the Veracruz communities, including the city itself, apart from other coastal towns. Fishermen pulled their boats to safety as a preventive measure while merchants boarded up the windows to protect them.
In October last year, Hurricane Zeta struck the Gulf Coast and battered Louisiana, Mississippi, and New Orleans.
Lives lost due to Hurricane Grace.
According to Sky News, the loss of eight lives has been reported after Hurricane Grace hit Mexico apart from three people missing. Then disaster struck for the second time in two days. It swept across Mexico's Gulf coast and led to an overflow of rivers accompanied by mudslides and floods in small towns. The authorities resorted to evacuations due to flooding and mudslides. Hurricane Grace had earlier hit Haiti soon after an earthquake in the country that killed hundreds. Incidentally, Hurricane Delta was the tenth storm that hit the United States in 2020.
These are natural disasters, but their frequency is increasing, which is a matter of concern.
Floods can happen even if there is no Hurricane
In Tennessee, there was no hurricane, but heavy rainfall brought in floods. It prompted the authorities to arrange for water rescues as the people faced the closure of roads and disruption in communication services. There were reports of people missing. Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee cautioned the residents to maintain caution about rising floodwaters because of heavy rainfall and possible blockage of roads by debris like uprooted trees or mud. The advice of the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency TEMA was to avoid travel in the affected counties. Floods are becoming a global issue.
It is necessary to examine the reasons and evolve a strategy. Last month, parts of Europe faced floods and torrential downpours. In China, there was a heavy loss of lives from floods. It involved commuters who were trapped in the subway.

Outrage has followed a proposal by oil company UKOG to impose a High Court injunction preventing various protesting actions at its West Sussex sites.
The injunction, to be put before the High Court on Monday, would cover slow-walking, lock-ons and lorry-surfing, all of which have occurred at UKOG's Broadford Bridge site near Billingshurst.
UKOG has said the 'serious legal action' was to protect against unlawful conduct from activists and did not prevent the right to freedom of expression and assembly.
But campaign groups and political parties were quick to condemn the injunction proposal as undemocratic 'draconian' and a restriction on the right to peaceful protest.
Broadford Bridge Action Group said: "This attempted action by UKOG is an affront to democracy.
UKOG currently operates three sites in West Sussex and has said it has no plans to use hydraulic fracturing or 'fracking'.
Flow testing at Broadford Bridge includes acidisation, which UKOG has consistently defended as a conventional drilling practice.
Campaign group Markwells Wood Watch, which protested against a similar application from UKOG to drill in Stoughton, has appealed to its supporters for named defendants to challenge UKOG at the court hearing.
Balcombe resident Kathryn McWhirter said communities had a right to protest against damage to the landscape.
She said: "Local communities feel bullied and oppressed, by our government and by the oil and gas companies.
Arundel and South Downs constituency Labour Party passed an emergency resolution on Saturday to condemn the injunction idea and support campaigners in the fight against 'industrialising the countryside'.
Green MEP Keith Taylor said the injunction would be 'draconian'.
He said: "In a free and democratic country, a company's economic interests should never supplant citizens' fundamental human rights.
A spokesman for UKOG said: "Recent incidents have compelled UKOG to take this serious legal action to protect itself, its supply chain and landlords from threats and unlawful conduct from activists, who are intent on preventing us from going about our lawful business.
"The injunction does not prevent anyone effectively exercising their rights to freedom of assembly and freedom of expression.

Lindsay Lohan's Not On Drugs But Having Trouble Making It to Court
Anna Breslaw
Filed to:Dirt Bag
I mean, how hard is it to catch a flight? This is a rhetorical question for Lindsay Lohan, who missed her plane last night from New York to attend her trial in L.A. this morning. (We're now on her twenty-something trial. When you move into the double digits, you should get a free Shakeweight or some turtle wax or an IHop coupon, right?)
Apparently she bounced from her original flight because she thought the plane was "unsafe" and has now chartered a private jet courtesy of energy drink company Mr. Pink. As we write this she has less than two hours to make it to court. Game on.
Our Lindsay faces charges of lying to a police officer about a car crash, reckless driving and violating her probation for a shoplifting conviction, and may be sent to the clink if she's found guilty of any of the above; she may have to serve 245 days. Her attorney Mark Heller insists that it's not an issue of substance abuse anymore:
"She does not need rehab," Heller told reporters after the last hearing. "I am hoping we will be able to come to some creative out-of-the-box answer."
Lohan is already undergoing "one-on-one psychotherapy," he said.
"Lindsay doesn't have a problem with alcohol and drugs," Heller said. "Lindsay has other types of issues that are being dealt with."

On the latest episode of PBS's turn-of-the-century English drama Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kourtney and Kim decided to have a competition to see whose vagina smelled better, and... actually, wait, let me just copy and paste because I can't.
When Khloe finally joined them in London, her older siblings shocked her by carrying out the plan, and in eye-popping scenes led the sisters in taking it in turns to wipe themselves on hand towels and forcing her to smell it.
'Do I want to be the judge of the pineapple p****? Not really,' Khloe said. 'But we're sisters - If can't smell their p****** what else am I supposed to do?'
Kourtney was the first to present her towel, with Khloe sniffing and saying: 'Mmm, smells like a tropical island.'
As Kim walked out, Khloe told her 'I'm not smelling Kanye's ****', but Kim forced her towel on her.
'Oooh,' Khloe said, blushing. 'It smells like a flower p****.'
As the sisters waited for her decision, she finally said: 'Honestly, I will say that Kim's p**** smells the best."

Taylor Swift said stuff. Look, it's a slow news day. Roll with it. Here she admits that "I Knew You Were Trouble" was about Harry Styles and discusses singing at the Brit Awards in that insane wedding dress with her ex-boyfriend in the audience:
''Well, it's not hard to access that emotion when the person the song is directed at is standing by the side of the stage watching ... You're balancing the analytical side of your brain which is telling you where to go and how to go there, with the other side of your brain, which is saying, 'Feel everything you're singing, and show it on your face. Feel everything exactly as you felt it when you wrote the song.'"
And here she is on wearing sneakers and sitting on the bleachers and being the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry.
''There's really no sound quite as loud as a phone not ringing, a letter unanswered. I don't quite understand it, because I either want to be with you or I don't ... I really don't feel like pursuing something that isn't real or isn't going somewhere, so if it's established that someone's commitment-phobic, I'm sorry - go be commitment-phobic with someone else. Because I'm not trying to scare you, I'm not pointing a gun at you; I'm offering to be with you.''
One great way to make that really clear is to wear a wedding dress everywhere, always. [Contact Music]
So it's come to this. Robert Pattinson is hiding from Kristen Stewart in the Outback. While he films his next movie The Rover in the middle of Bumblefuck, Australia, he's enjoying the peace and quiet for the next three weeks, at which point he has to go back to L.A. and talk to K-Stew.

6 Situations That Call For A PR-Savvy CEO
A new survey of 500 chief executives has both good news and some discouraging findings for public relations agencies; although most CEOs see value in PR, 59 percent say they don't fully understand the role and capabilities of public relations.
Maybe PR professionals can do a better job of educating the C-suite, not only on the value of PR, but on the chief executive's own role in the process. A CEO with PR and media skills is an asset to any company, and one who shuns the press may actually undermine its stature.
Some are masters of the game. Look at iconic entrepreneurs like Richard Branson or Steve Jobs, whose reputation lives on beyond his passing. Others must grow into the role, like Deloitte's Cathy Engelbert, the first female chief of a major accounting firm. For better or worse, a CEO is a steward of a company's image and reputation.
But most chief executives aren't like the celebrity CEOs, and they don't necessarily embrace a role as brand spokesperson. Many lack the time, charisma, or commitment to deal with media. They don't trust the press, and they may be wary of social media and its risks. According to a study from CEO.com, 68 percent of CEOs at Fortune 500 companies have no social media presence.
At a more basic level, they may be confused as to their role when it comes to media and constituency relations. And for communicators whose CEOs aren't the next Marc Benioff, it can be hard to offer guidance for the top exec. How well a CEO serves as a PR asset is informed by individual temperament, opinions and experience with journalism and social media. But there are times in nearly every company's history that cry out for the involvement of the a PR-savvy CEO. Here are six.
To announce a new strategy. The chief executive will confer more authority—and generate more media attention—than other company officers for a new direction or shift in corporate strategy. This typically translates into valuable earned media coverage which that may be leveraged to articulate company direction for customers or partners through the megaphone of business or trade press and social media.
To launch a key product. Technology company CEOs often announce new products at key trade shows or forums, even if it's just to introduce a senior product executive who will then go through a features overview. The involvement of the top exec tells us this is a priority announcement and a move to watch.
To show leadership during a crisis. If the company's reputation is in jeopardy, the CEO should be a visible and steadying presence. In a high-risk situation, a PR-knowledgeable chief executive may not necessarily open up to the news media, choosing to use social media instead to issue a fast response or promise of corrective action. But a truly critical event usually requires a longer-term commitment by the company chief, like then CEO David Neeleman's "apology tour" in the wake of JetBlue's 2007 grounding of flights and subsequent slide in popularity.
To advocate during government or regulatory scrutiny. There are risks here, but in my experience the PR-savvy CEO is typically the best advocate in times of regulatory review. A clear position on an issue, well articulated at the top, helps advance a company or industry viewpoint, and it offers crucial public support to allies, employees, and customers in what is often a lengthy PR battle.
To manage a corporate transition. It's important to stakeholders that a new chief executive, or one who takes the helm in an environment of change or uncertainty, make his vision clear. A skilled corporate communications head will use the inherent news value of the change to generate media airtime, op/ed space, or owned content to communicate the company position, manage the transition, and pave the way for a new era of leadership.
To signal a cultural shift. The CEO acts as Chief Engagement Officer with company employees, particularly during a turnaround. It's not usually advisable to go public with internal communications, but there's often no way to prevent leaks, and it's best to be prepared. Sometimes it even helps a CEO's position. This is why Marissa Mayer's edict against telecommuting for Yahoo employees, which was disclosed in a leaked company document, inadvertently became a business case history. To Yahoo watchers, including the rank-and-file, Mayer's memo was a metaphor for her larger battle to revitalize a bureaucratic and sleepy company culture, a task where she can use all the help at her disposal.

Spray foam insulation is one piece of making a structure better, reducing the cost of operation and making a building more comfortable. Spray foam insulation can help you meet 2015/ 2018 International Energy Conservation Code (Now code in Illinois), while still using 2×4 construction. Spray foam replaces fiberglass/ cellulose in the design of any new space or refinishing of existing space.
If you're in need of a qualified spray foam insulator, you've come to the right place. Chicago Green Insulation is a trusted provider of spray foam insulation services in the Chicagoland Area. Our goal is to exceed our customer's expectations on every insulation job we are awarded.
You know what you are getting and where it will be installed.
Pride in our work and a commitment that is obvious from the first call to the last of the cleanup.
A senior member of our team at the insulation inspection!
ESR documents that go with all spray foam insulation products.
We discuss issues of re occupancy of your home, what the standards are for the foams we install and what you should do after the foam is installed to be comfortable. Re-occupancy occurs after the foam installation has been completed and you out of the house for 24 hours from the time we finished spraying foam in your home/ business.
Check the proposal to make sure that the products that are being offered include the brand of foam they are installing. Every foam is different! Why would you hire a spray foam contractor who does not list the brand of foam you will be getting, by name, on your proposal?
Open cell foam should not be installed below grade or on masonry walls!
Will they join me at the insulation inspection?
You will not ever have concerns about the comfort or cost of operation in your newly insulated space. We pride ourselves on installing foam correctly! We pride ourselves on having an outstanding reputation for compliance and leadership with local code officials because we follow the codes and the education we provide for architects, builders, developers and code officials. We happily offer third party inspections for any project (additional costs may apply to pay the independent third party inspector).
A qualified member of our team at every insulation inspection and during the days and weeks leading to your installation you will get a visit or two from our supervisors or myself.
At Chicago Green Insulation we have a decade of stories about issues we have solved using spray foam insulation.

(setq-default tab-width 4)
(setq-default indent-tabs-mode t)
(setq tab-stop-list '(4 8 12 16))

but no luck again
Is there another setting that helps in this kind of situation?

A: Try:

(setf yas/indent-line NIL)

That should prevent yas from re-indenting to the current location and use the indendation built into your template.

A: This worked for me:

(setq yas-indent-line 'fixed)

Lenders typically offer a 72% loan-to-value on loans in Lunenburg.
Phyllis is a small business owner in Lunenburg, MA and she owns a commercial building for her operation. She looks to GJ Finance for a cash-out refi loan after she is refused a loan by her bank for her business's current inventory requirements. The lender agrees to fund 40% of the estimated market value of the property (LTV) in exchange for a deed of trust and they determine the building to be worth about $500,000. Additionally, they agree to a 11% rate of interest, a 1 year loan term, and will collect an origination fee of 2 percent at closing. Interest-only payments will be made each month with the principle re-paid when the note expires. The principle amount is $200,000 but GJ Finance will pay Phyllis $196,000 after deducting the origination points of $4,000. They will also collect $1,833 in monthly interest until they are paid off when the note matures.
Veronica is a business owner in Lunenburg, MA who owns a commercial building she uses for her operation. She determines she needs funds for her company's operation but is rejected by her credit union for a cash out refinance loan, so she turns to Hometown Investment Group for a hard money loan. The lender will loan 65% of the estimated value of the property (LTV) for a first lien and they deem it to be worth approximately $1,000,000. The lender will start to collect interest only payments for a 5 year period. They will also subtract 5 points when the transaction closes and will have the principle paid back in one balloon sum when the loan expires. Veronica will receive $617,500 in cash from Hometown Investment Group when the loan is executed ($1,000,000 estimated value x 65% loan to value - $32,500 in origination fees). She will then begin making monthly payments in the amount of $4,875 for the 5 year length of the loan. She will also make a final balloon payment of $650,000 to retire the debt.

i love the 90s
Kids Books from the 1990s That Are Still Totally Fly
by Jen Harper/
Get Pop Cultured
Once upon a time, AOL was the internet (and we had plenty of free-trial discs to go around), hardly anyone had a cell phone (which could only be used for phone calls anyway), and there was no such thing as a tablet or an e-reader. This dark age was known as the '90s. We were all rocking scrunchies, snacking on Dunkaroos and Surge, and counting our Beanie Babies, while our technological entertainment consisted of pagers, Discmans, and Tamagotchis that we inadvertently killed three times a week. And though trends have come and gone, certain books have remained a constant. Check out 10 of our favorite books from the '90s that have proven to be utterly timeless.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter Series #1)
Paperback $8.99 | $10.99
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, by J.K. Rowling (1998)
Harry Potter has led a pretty miserable existence for the past decade, living in a small cupboard under the stairs in his aunt and uncle's home. He's mistreated and neglected by his adoptive parents and tormented by his horrible cousin, Dudley Dursley. But when Harry turns 11, all of that changes: He learns the truth about how his parents died, and that he's a wizard. Gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid whisks Harry away to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where a magical new life unfolds for him. But it's not all butterbeer and quidditch matches, as Harry discovers his true destiny, which will one day force him to face the evil that killed his parents.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter Series #2)
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, by J.K. Rowling (1999)
In the second novel in Rowling's bestselling series, Harry Potter can't wait to leave behind his tortuous summer at the Dursleys to head back to Hogwarts for another school year. But a determined house-elf named Dobby comes to warn Harry that he must never return to the wizarding school or something terrible will happen. After an unexpected detour, Harry finally does get back to Hogwarts with the help of his friends. However, bad things are indeed happening at the school: Someone has opened the Chamber of Secrets, releasing a monster that is turning students to stone, and some think Harry could be the culprit. The Boy Who Lived must once again face Lord Voldemort to save his friends and clear his own name.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter Series #3)
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by J.K. Rowling (1999)
Imprisoned for having killed 13 people with just one curse, Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban, and he's after Harry Potter. The soulless Dementors are now roaming the halls of Hogwarts in a supposed effort to protect Harry from the infamous fugitive, but the Dementors frighten Harry so much he passes out around them. Harry turns to the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Remus Lupin, who teaches him the Patronus Charm to help protect himself. But can it keep him safe from the traitor in their midst at Hogwarts?
Welcome to Dead House (Classic Goosebumps Series #13)
Welcome To Dead House (Classic Goosebumps Series), by R.L. Stine (1992)
Every '90s kid who grew up to love Stephen King started off with R.L. Stine's creepy Goosebumps series. In this first-ever Goosebumps book, 12-year-old Amanda Benson and her 11-year-old brother, Josh, have just moved with their parents and family dog into a strange old house in Dark Falls. It's the middle of July, but the entire town feels cool and dim, shrouded by large trees. Amanda, Josh, and their pup Petey notice something is off right away—Amanda is seeing children in their house, Josh is having nightmares, and Petey can't bear to be around anyone in the neighborhood. Welcome to Dead House: It will just kill you.
The Giver, by Lois Lowry (1993)
Twelve-year-old Jonas lives in a society free of pain and suffering. The seeming utopia has converted to Sameness in order to protect its people—there's no crime, hunger, poverty, or memory of the past. "The life where nothing was ever unexpected. Or inconvenient. Or unusual." But it's also a life without love, music, and color. Jonas, like everyone else in his community, is assigned a job at age 12 by the Elders. And Jonas is chosen for the most important and difficult job of all: Receiver of Memory. The Giver teaches him the truth about his community's dystopian, mind-controlling reality. Together, Jonas and the Giver come up with a plan for Jonas's escape, which would restore memories to everyone in the community. Despite being published more than 20 years ago, Lowry's provocative book remains a timeless classic.
The Rainbow Fish, by Marcus Pfister (1992)
The Rainbow Fish, with his striking blue, green, purple, and sparkling silver scales, is the most beautiful fish in the ocean—and he definitely knows it. His admirers want to play with him, but the proud Rainbow Fish just swims past the other fish. One day, a little blue fish asks the Rainbow Fish for one of his sparkly scales, which glitter on the page thanks to rainbow-colored foil. The Rainbow Fish refuses and then realizes that not only does he have no friends, but he also now has no admirers. Letting go of his vanity, he ultimately decides to share his scales, discovering that friends are more important than beauty and possessions.
Oh, the Places You'll Go! (B&N Exclusive Edition)
Oh, the Places You'll Go!, by Dr. Seuss (1990)
"Congratulations! Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away!" So begins the perennial Dr. Seuss favorite—often gifted to graduates and quoted on inspirational greeting cards. The book offers an enlightening and honest pep talk for whatever chapter in your life you're about to begin with esteem-boosting declarations about moving mountains and reminders about potential pitfalls like getting "hung up in a in a prickle-ly perch" as you attempt to "soar to high heights." The whimsical Seussian rhyming and illustrations make this a fun and insightful read no matter your age.
The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith (1992)
From the author that brought readers fairy tale parodies like The True Story of the Three Little Pigs and The Frog Prince, Continued comes this collection of more parodied classic tales with an irreverent twist. This thoroughly entertaining read is narrated by Jack of and the Beanstalk fame, who breaks down the fourth wall and the very structure of the book itself with elements like an upside-down dedication page and a haphazardly dropped-in table of contents that ends up squashing everyone in the first tale, "Chicken Licken." Also included in the book's 10 stories are "The Princess and the Bowling Ball," "The Really Ugly Duckling," and the titular "Stinky Cheese Man," the odiferous counterpart to the Gingerbread Man.
Holes, by Louis Sachar (1998)
Camp Green Lake is a place for bad boys, and it has but one philosophy: "If you take a bad boy and make him dig a hole every day in the hot sun, it will turn him into a good boy." But Stanley Yelnats is not a bad boy; he just has bad luck. And now he's been convicted of a crime he didn't commit and must serve his time at the boys' detention center. But, as Stanley soon realizes in this funny and quirky tale, the hole-digging isn't just about improving the boys' character—the mean and powerful warden is looking for something. Can Stanley actually figure out what it is and clear his name?
Guess How Much I Love You, by Sam McBratney and Anita Jeram (1994)
"I love you right up to the moon—and back." Posters and prints with this quote adorn many a baby's bedroom wall and mom-to-be's nursery Pinterest board with good reason. It's the heart of this tender story about the immeasurable love between parent and child. Big Nutbrown Hare and Little Nutbrown Hare engage in a sweet competition about who loves whom more. Jeram's watercolor illustrations combined with McBratney's charming prose make this much-loved picture book one that can grow with a child—and one they'll likely even read to their own children one day.

Boronas (We R the Aliens,Visionquest,Minibar,Body Parts,PleasureZone) George Boronas is a Hamburg-based DJ and producer. He began his career in the mid-90s in Thessaloniki, Greece. Early influences came from his parents' tape and record collection including music from Jean-Michel Jarre, The Doors, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, and many others.

Q: In the given program the Garbage collector is running before the object is dereferenced...using jre 7(32-bit)
class Robot
{
long memory[] = new long[9923372];

private String name;

Robot(String nm) throws Exception
{
name = nm;
System.out.println("name = " + name);
}

protected void finalize()
{
System.out.println("\nBye - Bye ---eeeee " + name+"\n");
}

}

class Test
{

public static void main(String sdf[]) throws Exception
{
int i=1;
Robot robot1;

while(true)
{
//finalizer runs before the dereference of rajni - 1
robot1= new Robot("Rajni - "+i++);
Thread.sleep(1000);
}

}
}

how can finalizer run before derefernce of robot1 from rajni1 first object ...
the loop runs in the infinite loop...
i know that garbage collector runs whenever heap space is low and more memory is required for the object allocation...but the condition is that there must be some dereferenced object residing in memory .....
--->run in jre 32 bit to get the given output ... you better know why??

A: It is clearer now you have provided the output.
You can look at the compiled byte code to see why.
  public static main([Ljava/lang/String;)V throws java/lang/Exception
   L0
    LINENUMBER 48 L0
    ICONST_1
    ISTORE 1
   L1
    LINENUMBER 54 L1
   FRAME APPEND [I]
    NEW Main$Robot
    DUP
    NEW java/lang/StringBuilder
    DUP
    INVOKESPECIAL java/lang/StringBuilder.<init> ()V
    LDC "Rajni - "
    INVOKEVIRTUAL java/lang/StringBuilder.append (Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/StringBuilder;
    ILOAD 1
    IINC 1 1
    INVOKEVIRTUAL java/lang/StringBuilder.append (I)Ljava/lang/StringBuilder;
    INVOKEVIRTUAL java/lang/StringBuilder.toString ()Ljava/lang/String;
    INVOKESPECIAL Main$Robot.<init> (Ljava/lang/String;)V
    ASTORE 2
   L2
    LINENUMBER 55 L2
    LDC 1000
    INVOKESTATIC java/lang/Thread.sleep (J)V
    GOTO L1
   L3
    LOCALVARIABLE sdf [Ljava/lang/String; L0 L3 0
    LOCALVARIABLE i I L1 L3 1
    LOCALVARIABLE robot1 LMain$Robot; L2 L3 2
    MAXSTACK = 4
    MAXLOCALS = 3

The important line to note is the scope of the robot1 variable which is between L2 and L3 i.e. only during the Thread.sleep(1000); and the local variable is out of scope as soon as the loop jumps back to L1
This means the variable in reality is available to be GC-ed at the top of the loop, not after the new Robot has been created as you might imagine.

A convert from Neoplatonism, Hilary was elected bishop of Poitiers (c. 353). He was exiled (356-360) to Phrygia by the Roman emperor Constantius II for not condemning the leading opponent of Arianism, St. Athanasius the Great, at the Council of Béziers (356). While in Phrygia, he wrote De trinitate (The Trinity), the first work in Latin to deal with the issues of the Trinitarian controversies. In De synodis ("Concerning the Synods") he explained the history of the Arian controversy and directed the faithful in the East to rally against those who believed the Son was unlike the Father. His appeals to Constantius were unsuccessful, and he was expelled from the East. Returning to Poitiers, he spent his last years combatting Arianism in Gaul and writing his commentary on the Psalms and Tractatus mysteriorum on typology. His reaffirmation of orthodoxy, almost alone in Gaul, earned him the title of the Athanasius of the West. Probably the earliest hymnist, he composed a book of lyrics (c. 360). He was declared a doctor of the church in 1851 by Pope Pius IX.)

Back in April of this year Everett band Tellers released their debut full length album Shook to a very soldout Ballard crowd down at The Connor Byrne. When I had them on Locals Only to promote that show I apparently called out Colby of Rocket Heart Records by name because I wanted this album in my vinyl collection and thought he was the guy to make that happen. Well here we are just around six or so months later and Colby actually did it. He granted my wish!
This Saturday night (11/3) Tellers will celebrate the vinyl release of Shook via Rocket Heart Records. The show is at The Sunset Tavern and the lineup is one that Locals Only certainly endorses. Kevin Murphy of The Moondoggies will be playing a solo set to open the show and local band Maltby will be playing main support. This lineup is completely stacked with artist who write beautiful songs for this time of year. You know, the very grey, dark and wet time of year we have recently been flung headfirst into.
Get your tickets and come get your hands on some fresh vinyl. If you need more proof that this is going to be a great show, give these tracks a listen.


Canon PIXMA MP280 Driver for Mac. Review - On the occasion that a manufacturer a '280', just how greatly improved would you believe the 495 future? We're accustomed to considering design numbers on automobiles where a 400 arrangement would certainly probably be better, speedier and much more extravagant than a with Canon holding absolutely nothing back ones.
The Canon PIXMA MP280 is an economic strategy in with no reservations one, an item of the organization's level dispatched in harvest 2010. It births a notable similitude to the MP495, attempted two or three weeks back, yet is around 20 every penny It's an unassumingly measured machine, with a matt dark top to its scanner as well as a regular paper method flying a close vertical, 100-sheet plate at the back via to a level one at the front, mounted by collapsing down conference that you disregard to open it prior to beginning to publish, and also has a flip-over expansion to totally strengthen printed reports.
The Canon MP280 driver control panel has an impressive number of guidelines and also catches, nonetheless there's no LCD board to reveal menus or image thumbnails. It need not bother on the machine, either. There's a solitary personality LED presentation to pick approximately nine duplicates at the same time and the sections cycle round to show when the ink-jet printer is occupied.
Single LEDs are made use of to reveal paper dimension. At the front of the control board are six catches for starting as well as wiping out dark and shading print line of works, and ones for sweep, settings and also to suit an image to the web page. This last capacity is unusual in a machine at this price.
At the back of the right-hand side board is a solitary USB attachment, which is the primary information association with the equipment. When you have actually supplied CD, you link to a USB web link and area in both ink cartridges, prior to you begin making use of the equipment. The cartridges are exactly what Canon calls a fifty percent type structure, because the dark cartridge utilizes pigmented ink, for denser, much faster drying out content pages, while the tri-shading cartridge utilizes color inks for brighter colors in pictures.

More events will be added as they are confirmed!
Numerous groups compete with their own sand rovers while learning about the technology of NASA's Mars Rovers.
Great Sand Dunes are very similar to the dunes on planet Mars, where NASA rovers explore and do scientific research. Each spring, NASA and Adams State University sponsor a sand robotics challenge, where college student teams and the general public can compete with their own homemade rovers and learn about the technology of Mars rovers! The competition takes place in the Medano Creekbed, outside the designated wilderness area of the dunefield. Learn more on the Colorado Space Consortium's website. Free entrance to the park this day!
A free ranger program related to the event will take place at the visitor center from 11am-Noon: Parks & Planets: How NASA Research in the National Parks Aids Space Exploration. The ranger will discuss dune and wind research at Great Sand Dunes and the findings on Mars, as well as show research being done in other National Parks by NASA.
Summer evening ranger programs are popular for all ages!
Evening programs or night hikes will be offered on most weekends in the summer at the outdoor amphitheater. Afternoon programs on weekends and some weekdays will allow visitors to learn more about the unique resources of Great Sand Dunes. View the current ranger program schedule.

This year's extreme weather is a preview of even more turbulent times that will bedevil us for at least the span of a 30-year mortgage.
Why it matters: Extreme weather events are the clearest way we're feeling climate change in our daily lives, and they will reshape where and how we live, work and play.
This year, we've already seen tens of billions in damage and more than 1,000 people dead in the U.S. and Europe alone.
The big picture: The geography of climate risk will transform desirable communities as homes and businesses quickly become uninsurable — and potentially uninhabitable — due to the escalating prevalence of wildfires, hurricanes and floods.
This is already happening in parts of California, due to wildfires, and coastal Florida because of hurricanes and coastal flooding.
Heat waves, wildfires, droughts and floods can upend entire communities, cities and regions, hitting the most vulnerable populations among us the hardest.
And these events are virtually assured for the next three decades, even if greenhouse gas emissions are immediately and sharply curtailed to reduce long-term warming, due to the inertia of the climate system.
It will take several decades for the beneficial effects of emissions cuts to be noticeable, climate scientists told Axios.
Details: The 1.1°C (2°F) of average global warming since the preindustrial era has been enough to tip the scale toward more frequent and intense extreme events.
So many off-the-charts weather events have happened this year — from the California wildfires to the Pacific Northwest heat wave and the record-setting New Jersey and New York City deluge — that scientists are questioning whether they've missed important tipping points.
Precipitation extremes — both an overabundance and a lack of precipitation — are becoming more likely, more severe, and in some cases, longer-lasting, scientists have found. So too are heat extremes.
Researchers have also shown that hurricanes are dumping more water, on average, than they used to, and more hurricanes are making sudden leaps in intensity.
While cold snaps are becoming less frequent, even some cold extremes may be tied to climate change via rapid Arctic warming, as a recent study showed with the deadly Texas cold snap that knocked out much of the electricity grid last winter.
Yes, but: Not every type of extreme weather event is tied to climate change. Researchers don't know, for example, whether tornadoes are shifting in frequency or intensity in response to warming.
What they're saying: "We are playing a game with chance that becomes more and more stacked against us with every ton of CO2 we emit," Claudia Tebaldi, a climate scientist for the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, told Axios.
Andrew Dessler, a climate scientist at Texas A&M, warns that if we cross any number of unpredictable "thresholds built into the system" — for example, the water level in a reservoir drops so low that hydroelectric power shuts off — that could cause climate impacts to suddenly and dramatically increase in their impact on society.
"This is what keeps me up at night," he told Axios.
Threat level: If the weather was this bad in 2021, that portends far more trouble for 2040 and 2050.
What's next:
In the West, water scarcity, wildfires and heat waves are projected to worsen in coming years, potentially driving people away from the region.
In the Midwest, a weather whiplash effect — with conditions swinging between drought and flooding — and more precarious agricultural conditions are in the offing.
Across the South and Southeast, more powerful, rapidly-intensifying and wetter hurricanes could spin ashore. Heat waves will also be a greater concern.
And along the East Coast from Florida to Maine, a key task will be managing the impact of so-called sunny day flooding, when rising sea levels plus astronomical high tides cause flooding in sections of Miami, Charleston and Norfolk.
The bottom line: The future need not be a Hollywood dystopian hellscape. A combination of resilience measures to boost our ability to withstand extreme events, along with emissions cuts to rein in warming over the long term, can ensure that we avoid the worst-case scenarios.

'Still Alice' is a novel originally written by Lisa Genova which depicts the story of a 50 year old woman receiving the difficult diagnosis of early onset dementia. The book which was published in 2009 was a roaring success and quickly became a best seller which has since been sold in 30 countries and translated into more than 20 languages. In 2014, it was adapted into a film starring Julianne Moore, who went on to receive an Oscar for her role of 'Alice'. Today, Playhouse Theatre Liverpool has the pleasure of hosting this touring production during the British premier of the stage version of 'Still Alice' and it is clear from the onset that this influential story triumphs on stage, just as it did on paper and in the cinema.
Alice (Sharon Small) and her husband John (Martin Marquez) are successful professors at Harvard University. Alice lives for science and leads a very busy life, travelling around the world for lectures and research. They have two children, Thomas (Mark Armstrong) who is a layer and Lydia (Ruth Ollman) who, much to her mother's disfavour, is an aspiring actor. This play adaption, written by Christine Mary Dunford, introduces another character 'herself' (Eva Hope) who acts as Alice's inner voice. She communicates with Alice throughout the production but cannot be seen or heard by any of the other characters on stage. This relationship is very powerful and engaging as the audience get an insight into Alice's battle with herself in a quite literal way. What is quite potent is how this relationship changes over time so that by the end of the production, the engagement between Alice and 'herself' has faded and decreased significantly, pertinent to the deterioration of Alice's memory as the dementia progresses.
This production has been excellently cast with stellar performances from all of the performers and Sharon Small in particular making a huge impact in her portrayal of 'Alice'. This talented actress managed to create a physically powerful decline in a gradual sense that was simply effortless and incredibly natural. Sharon Small's performance and in fact all of the performances are so real that you are compelled to feel every emotion that this show gives. Watching the change in the relationship between Alice and her beloved husband John is heart breaking and the audience become highly sympathetic to the whole family circle as their lives shatter facing the challenges of this complicated disease.
David Grindley must be applauded for his clever direction as the overall production is respectful, open, honest but also quite beautiful. The passing of time and the loss of memory is entirely captured through the use of slow movement and removal of set. This gives a very 'drifting' feeling which is in keeping with Alice's disease progression. By the end of the show, it was difficult to remember that only 90 minutes previous, Alice had been a bouncing, thriving professional woman of the world as she had since fallen apart under our noses in a rather subtle and graceful way.
As dementia is touching our lives more and more every day, this production serves a wonderful purpose in bringing forward the understanding of dementia and in particular the way emotion still registers in those who have lost their memory. Alice didn't often remember who people were or know what they were saying but she could always sense and recognise emotion so that at the end of the production, she appears quite lost but knows she is happy in the moment. This is a key message for everyone who is connecting with those who have dementia.
Congratulations to the cast and crew of 'Still Alice' in their creation of an extraordinary piece of theatre. This play is quite serious and emotive, sometimes even distressing to watch but it is highly memorable and this story is one everyone needs to hear.


We want to explain some of the terms we use when we talk to you!
Each industry has its own distinctive way of talking. In banking you use terms which people who work in the industry, understand. But people outside of the industry struggle to understand the ins and outs of the banking world.
In the same way the medical scheme industry, and therefore Bankmed, uses terms to describe things in our world. While we understand the special terms we use, we know that some of the terminology can mean less to you than it does to us.
That is why we have put together a collection of terms we often use and explain what they mean for you. We have attached the list with the terms and explanations to this email so you can have it handy whenever you want to double-check what a specific term means.


You may have seen advertised some very low prices but then find out that all of the so called low priced lots have gone. Be careful if at this point you are offered much higher priced lots.
Do not allow yourself to be convinced that you will "miss out" if you don't decide to buy there and then. Quick decisions often lead to long term regrets.
Many people choose to purchase lots from developers because of all the amenities they have been promised. Make sure that all of the things you've been promised are fully listed on the property report.
Be cautious of allowing yourself to be led by the assurance that you are buying an excellent investment.
An underhand sales tactic is to tell you all kinds of facts and figures about population growth and real estate prices in the area, but this may not apply to the precise area you are looking to buy. It might not be that easy to resell the lot either, particularly if the developer still has lots for sale.
While not all developers and sales teams are dishonest, its good to be aware of some of these sales tactics so you can avoid becoming being misled.

Planning Data and Research
Anaylsis and Growth Trends
Land Use/Land Cover
Land Preservation and Recreation Analysis
Introduction
The Land Use & Cover map and data is used to show development trends on the landscape in Maryland. The Maryland Department of Planning (MDP) created the first Land Use/Land Cover map in 1973 and updated it in 2002. This is the first revision since 2002 and includes several enhancements for a more accurate analysis of land-use change. Data for the analysis came from a combination of aerial photography and parcel data from MdProperty View. The updated dataset is reviewed by local jurisdictions and comments are incorporated into the final product.
The map classifies the land area of Maryland into 13 distinct types of land use (i.e. low to high density residential, commercial, industrial) or land cover (i.e. agriculture, forest) and is used by MDP other state agencies and public and private stakeholders to follow trends in land development and consumption of resource land over time. Mapping these changes is a key informational tool in addressing future smart growth issues in the State.
This latest version shows that 1.6 million acres or 27 percent of the State's total land area is developed -- more than double the total surveyed in 1973. During this same period the population increased by only 39 percent.
The information in the summary documents below is based on a 2002 Land Use/Land Cover map, which was modified slightly to align more clearly with the new 2010 version. This reconciliation process is described in more detail below.

Q: How do I build an exe in VS 17 Mac to run in Windows I wrote a console app in C# on VS 2017 for mac, and the resulting build file is a .dll. I can run that fine in the IDE and from the terminal with "dotnet blah.dll".
What I really want is to give my little console app to my Windows friends who can then run it.
I'm not finding detail on the web or here on how to tell VS2017 mac to make me a Windows exe.

A: There is a framework-dependent deployment assuming your friends have .net core runtime, they can also run with "dotnet blah.dll"
Otherwise you need to configure self-contained deployment using dotnet publish -c release -r win10-x64 command and some project configuration. More details are available at dotnet publish MSDN article and deployment strategies overall

A: You need to have a runtime identifier in your csproj for Windows in order for a Windows-compatible binary to be generated. Similar for various Linux distributions.
A list of IDs can be found at: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/rid-catalog. For example, to target Windows 10 x64 you would use win10-x64.
Once you have the csproj configured and have rebuilt you should see a win10-x64 folder in your build output that will contain the files you need.


Raja means kingly or royal. This form of meditation is based on bringing the mind and emotions into balance or harmony so that your attention may be easily directed to the object of your meditation or on the Lord directly.
Life force is generally a movement up and down the spine so that it becomes balanced and the emotions, as well as the mind, are serenely content.
forehead. This meditation point, which is also called the Ajna, or third eye, is located about 1 half inches above where the eyebrows meet.
When the energy becomes balanced throughout your body and brain and moves effortlessly into the area of the ajna, calmness seems to overtake your mind.
Certainly, your mind is not passive but it frees itself from the meaningless worries, thoughts, and clutter of the subconscious mind.
As your consciousness courses toward your third eye, different pastel colors appear your forehead. There are sumptuous, glorious pinks, whites, indigos, purples, yellows, blues and green that take their turn in your forehead.
As your life force becomes stronger and more concentrated you may think you see lightning, fireflies or moonlight. This whole process is getting you ready to experience your true nature.

Professional, proactive communications, and knowledgeable. These are the three qualities we appreciated in the home buying process, which Ken, Hollie and team consistently demonstrated.

Complaint Filed in GM Recall Case
Home > Firm News > Complaint Filed in GM Recall Case
We are no longer accepting new cases.
Weitz & Luxenberg, P.C. and Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, announced that consumers from across the county have joined together and filed a class-action lawsuit that demands compensation from General Motors and Delphi Automotive for manufacturing, advertising and selling certain cars alleged to be unsafe to drive.
Drivers of the recalled cars filed the lawsuit to recover the costs associated with owning or leasing a GM car manufactured with an ignition switch that GM admits it knew for over a decade was defective and is now linked to hundreds of highway deaths.
"As the complaint alleges and GM's 'Dear Customer' letter advises class members, GM now publicly acknowledges a clear and present danger that it is not prepared to correct," stated attorney Elizabeth J. Cabraser of the national plaintiffs' law firm Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP. "Affirmative action by consumers themselves is essential to swiftly and completely eliminating the danger from these ignition switches before any more deaths and injuries occur."
"People from all over the nation are uniting to hold GM accountable — and we're expecting the number of individuals demanding this accountability to grow even larger in the days and weeks ahead," said attorney Robin L. Greenwald with Weitz & Luxenberg, P.C. of New York, New Jersey, and California, one of six plaintiffs' law firms coordinating to bring the litigation.
The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount in compensatory damages, and to have exemplary and statutory penalties imposed on the defendants. Additionally, the plaintiffs want the defendants to either surrender the ill-gotten profits made on the affected cars or to make full restitution to the victims individually and as a class.
Class Action Lawsuit Allegations Summarized
The complaint alleges that GM and Delphi, producer of the ignition switches at issue, knew of the defect early on but chose to do nothing about it and to offer no warning of the problem so as not to harm sales of the vehicles.
More than 300 fatalities have been reported by independent safety regulators who looked into deaths tied to just two of the affected GM makes and models, the complaint alleges.
The complaint also alleges that GM deprived consumers of their right to make an informed decision about driving a car they had a right to expect would be safe.
The plaintiffs assert in the lawsuit that Delphi knew its ignition switches were defective in design and/or manufacture, but nonetheless continued to make and sell them. They allege as well that Delphi knew GM would install the faulty switches in the carmaker's vehicles.
"The class action lawsuit prioritizes prompt correction under court control, calls for statutory penalties to punish and deter misconduct, and requests a court-supervised compensation fund to repay the expense and inconvenience to consumers of being saddled with this defect, and of bringing in their cars to fix what should have been designed and built safely in the first place," Cabraser explained.
"The decade-long deceit, the complaint charges, was spread, amplified and reinforced by GM's false advertising about the cars," Greenwald said. "On the basis of that advertising, more and more innocent people kept buying these cars believing, as GM told them — even though not true — that the car was safe for them, their families, their friends and others on the road. These consumers had the absolute right to know the truth. But rather than admit the defect and offer car owners repair of their vehicles, GM concealed the defect and, shockingly, continued to sell cars with the same defect. What is even worse, GM put millions of people's lives at risk as GM knew that the defect had and could continue to cause driving fatalities."
The complaint was filed late yesterday afternoon in federal court in Los Angeles.
The consumers in the class action lawsuit are represented by Weitz & Luxenberg, Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, Lackey Hershman, L.L.P. of Dallas, Texas, Bailey & Glasser, LLP, of Charleston, West Virginia, The Lanier Law Firm P.C. of Houston, Texas, Barrett Law Group, P.A. of Lexington, Mississippi, and Beasley, Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles, P.C. of Montgomery, Alabama.
GM Recall Summarized
Some 1.5-million vehicles are affected by the ignition switch defect, the complaint estimates. Two models of GM-built Chevrolet are among the cars at the center of the lawsuit. They are the 2005-07 Cobalt and 2006-07 MY Chevrolet HHR.
The lawsuit also involves two GM Saturn models: the 2003-07 MY Saturn Ion and 2007 MY Saturn Sky.
Additionally identified in the lawsuit are GM's 2006-07 Pontiac Solstice and 2005-07 Pontiac G5.
The defects result in ignition switches being installed loose and improperly positioned, which makes them susceptible to failure during normal and expected driving conditions, the complaint contends.
When the ignition switch failure occurs, it turns off the engine and vital electrical components, such as the power steering system and anti-lock brakes; it also can affect deployment of the car's safety airbag system, as GM admits in the recall.
"If the vehicle is traveling along the freeway at 65 mph, the loss of those crucial systems will leave the driver unable to control the vehicle," said Greenwald. "GM even acknowledges there have been deaths caused by the defective ignition switch."
