They Work!
The results are in: antidepressants improve the symptoms of Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS). A large scale meta-analysis of some 18 clinical trials involving 1,427 fibromyalgia patients scattered throughout North America, South America and Europe showed that antidepressant drug therapy brought a reduction in pain, sleep disturbances, and depression, in a majority of sufferers. Fibromyalgia is a disorder that is sometimes overlooked during an investigation of a patient's widespread muscle pain and tenderness, even though FMS affects some 12 million people worldwide, almost 11 million of them women.
University of Florida College of Medicine's Roland Staud, a professor of medicine at the Gainesville institution describes the level of disability experienced by sufferers as, "from very little to total," and adds that among his private patients are some who have been confined for bed for periods of up to one year, due to the debilitating symptoms they experience. Such symptoms tend to begin between the ages of 40 and 60, but often remain an issue for the duration of the patients' lives.
Twin Factors
A psychiatrist who is the director of the Women's Health Research Program at the University of Cincinnati's College of Medicine, Leslie Arnold, believes that stress and heredity are twin factors in bringing on a case of fibromyalgia syndrome. Meantime, only two drugs have as yet earned approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of fibromyalgia: Cymbalta, a drug produced by Eli Lilly, and Lyrica, made by Pfizer. Cymbalta is one of the antidepressants reviewed in this newest study, and Lyrica serves to control seizures and pain.
This new study was conducted by a German team, headed up by Winfried Hauser, an internist at the Klinikum Saarbrucken. Hauser states, "All classes of antidepressants had substantial effects on pain [however] we found differences between the classes of antidepressants on other key symptoms of FMS such as sleep disturbances, fatigue, and depressed mood."
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI's) like Prozac were found to have a great impact on pain reduction and mood improvement, but had no effect on fatigue or sleep issues. Serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRI's) such as Cymbalta improved pain, sleep, and mood, but didn't help with fatigue. Tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants (TCA's) like Vanatrip reduced pain, fatigue, and sleep problems. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI's) such as Manerix only helped with pain reduction.
Major Advance
Dr. Arnold commented, "This is a major advance. We are trying to identify new treatments for fibromyalgia and raise awareness for this disease."
The director of the rheumatology research division at the Seattle-based Swedish Medical Center, Philip Mease, is concerned that patients will interpret these results as confirming the wrong-headed contention that fibromyalgia stems from depression, and that treating depression will cure this, as yet, incurable disease. Mease says, "I am a crusader against the term 'antidepressant' because they are not used as antidepressants in this context."
Anesthesiologist, Dan Clauw of the Ann Arbor-based University of Michigan agrees with Mease, "The strong implication to the reader is that these people [participants of the study] are getting better because they are depressed. There is pretty overwhelming evidence that these [medications] are not working as antidepressants [but as pain relievers, too]."

Q: Why is this code throwing EXCEPTION ? I am having problem in deserialization while I was good on serialization package desriialization;

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.Serializable;

public class Desiarialization0000 implements Serializable{
    /* STEPS OF DESERIALIZATION
     * 1. Your class should implement Serializable interface
           //                   2. add import java.io.Serializable;
           //                   3. FileInputStream fileIn = new FileInputStream(file path);
           //                   4. ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(fileIn);
           //                   5. objectNam = (Class) in.readObject();
           //                   6. in.close(); fileIn.close();
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException, IOException {
        UserDiserialization0001 hi=null;
        FileInputStream input=new FileInputStream("C:\\Users\\gaura\\eclipse-workspace\\JAVA_ADVANCED\\gaurav.ser");
        ObjectInputStream oinp=new ObjectInputStream(input);
        hi=(UserDiserialization0001) oinp.readObject();
        oinp.close();
        input.close();
        hi.hello();

    }
    public class UserDiserialization0001 implements Serializable {

         String pwd;
         public void hello() {
             System.out.println("Hello"+name);
         }
    }

}

Exception thrown is:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: class serialiiization.UserSerialization0001 cannot be cast to class desriialization.Desiarialization0000$UserDiserialization0001 (serialiiization.UserSerialization0001 and desriialization.Desiarialization0000$UserDiserialization0001 are in unnamed module of loader 'app')
    at desriialization.Desiarialization0000.main(Desiarialization0000.java:21)

A: Judging from the exception message, you have changed UserDiserialization0001 between serializing and deserializing it.
When you serialized the object was an instance of a top level class called:
serialiiization.UserSerialization0001

You are trying to cast it to:
desriialization.Desiarialization0000$UserDiserialization0001

That is a nested class with a different name in a different package.
A cast like that won't work.  Different (fully qualified) class names means that the Java types are different.  You can't cast unrelated types in Java.
When an instance is deserialized, it has the same fully qualified class name that it had when it was serialized.

Can I also suggest that you pay attention to your spelling.  You co-workers are liable to throw house bricks at you if your Java class and package names are full of careless spelling errors and typos.

About 2m females raped every year — Akiyode -Afolabi
Akiyode-Afolabi
By Josephine Agbonkhese
Dr Abiola Akiyode-Afolabi, the Executive Director, Women Advocates Research & Documentation Centre, WARDC, speaks on the rise in rape cases.
Rape has of late been on the rise. Do we have adequate deterrent for potential rapists?
As we all know, rape is an unjustifiable act that is condemned in our society. The severity of the offence of rape cannot be over-emphasized. Therefore, the punishment meted out should not be lenient. By virtue of our Criminal Code, Penal Code and Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act, the punishment for rape is life imprisonment.
In my opinion, life imprisonment is not adequate for a despicable act such as rape because the convicted rapist may be granted pardon by an incoming government. The preferred punishment for rape is the maximum punishment with hard labour.
Let's look at the number of rape cases that have been reported in the country in the last couple of years. Do we have reliable data?
About two million women and girls are raped every year and only about 28% of these cases are reported. Though, there is no data to support or disprove this claim. However, it is hoped that the Sex Offenders Register that was launched in 2019 will serve as a data gathering tool on reported cases.

So rape is not well reported in Nigeria…
Rape cases are not well reported for various reasons including the fear of stigmatisation, police extortion and a lack of trust in the criminal justice system. Victims are deterred by too many factors.
What is the distribution of rape cases on state basis? Where is rape most rampant?
Though there is no clear statistics, from the happenings around us, we can say that rape is rampant in states like Lagos, FCT, Oyo, Edo, Delta, Kano and Ondo. The problem with Nigeria has always been data gathering and management. Until this is addressed, reliable statistics will continue to elude us.
Any rough statistics on suspects involved so far and number of victims that have died? What happened to these suspects?
The problem is that since there is no clear statistics on reported cases of rape, it will be difficult to give a clear statistics. We seriously need to develop a strong data management system for this culture to become a thing of this past.
How difficult or easy is it to prosecute rape?
Prosecuting rape cases is usually a difficult one due to some underlying factors and procedures that the prosecution needs to establish to secure conviction of the accused. The police are biased, so also is the society. All of these make prosecuting rape tough for victims who desperately seek and, in fact, need justice.
Why are most rape cases hard to prosecute?
Most rape cases are hard to prosecute because the prosecution is usually unable to link direct evidence to the accused, to warrant a conviction. Also, because the victim, in most cases, does not testify, there is lack of corroboration of the evidence of one witness and lack of medical evidence.
Why do people rape?
There are many unjustifiable reasons why people rape. Some are as a result of narcotic drug intake, alcohol, frustration, anger, lust, sexual gratification, weak laws and policies, childhood environment and poverty; and most importantly, the impunity that comes with the offense of rape
What categories of females are mostly prone to rape and why?
Rape is committed against women and girls. There is no blanket composition for the most hit. Just as babies are raped, old women are too. Only five days ago, a 70-year-old woman was reportedly raped by a 25-year-old man at Ijoko area of Ogun State. The suspect, who, in fact, admitted to the crime, told the police he was under the influence of alcohol.
What must be done to end rape?
Rape can become a thing of the past if the following measures are put in place: laws and policies are reviewed to provide stiffer punishments; and end is put to victim blaming; zero tolerance for rape is instilled; public awareness campaign against rape is regularly done; and an end is put to impunity by holding perpetrators accountable.

Mulga Snake
Pseudechis australis
The head of a Mulga Snake, Pseudechis australis.
The Mulga Snake is heavily built and has a wide head. Its back colour varies from brown to olive-green. The belly is cream and unmarked. This is Australia's largest venomous snake, growing to 3 metres. Midbody scale rows 17; ventrals 185–225; anal divided; subcaudals single at front, remainder divided, 50–75.
Found over most of mainland Australia but absent from southern coastal regions and Tasmania. This species has declined or disappeared from some coastal areas of Queensland.
Lives in dry open forests and grasslands.
This species is active both day and night.
This is a dangerously venomous species with strongly haemotoxic venom. It is a ready biter and has been responsible for human deaths. If bitten, apply first aid and seek urgent medical attention. First aid procedure for any snakebite from the Australian Venom Research Unit.
Feeds on reptiles and their eggs, mammals, frogs and birds. Like most 'black snakes' (Pseudechis spp.), this species will readily prey on other snakes.
Mating occurs during spring and early summer and up to 19 eggs are laid. The hatchling snakes are around 25 cm from the tip of the snout to the base of the tail (snout-vent length).
This snake is most similar to the Eastern Brown snake (Pseudonaja textilis) and the Coastal Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus). It can be distinguished from both by differences in build, belly colour and scale differences.
The Mulga Snake, Pseudechis australis, one of Australia's largest dangerously venomous snakes.


Accurate skin analysis is the key to treatments and home care regimens. Our goal is to correct, balance and improve the quality of your skin using custom botanical formulations. The type of skin we are born with is determined by the characteristics it displays; not by gender, ethnicity, color or condition.
Follow our steps below to determine your skin type and select the best products for you.
Determining your skin type doesn't have to be complicated. It's all in the pores.
Take a look at the skin on your jawline. See how it's smooth and relatively pore-free?
Compare that to the skin next to your nose. Do the pores look bigger or the same?
Examine other areas of the face. Are your pores bigger or smaller than what's on your jawline? Don't pay attention to your nose—this area always has larger pores, no matter the skin type.
Compare your skin to the diagrams below to find your skin type.
Looks Like: Smaller pores on most of the face with some larger pores near the sides of the nose.
Solution: Nourish, stimulate, and hydrate skin with moisture-dense botanicals that restore the lipid barrier.
Looks Like: Larger pores on 1/3 of the face, usually on t-zone, but sometimes on cheeks.
Looks Like: Large pores on ½ of the face, usually on forehead, cheeks, and chin.
Solution: Minimize enlarged pores while controlling excess oil and absorbing shine.
Looks Like: Smaller pores on most of the face with red, dry, or irritated patches.
Solution: Use targeted botanicals to relieve irritation, calm redness, and soothe tender skin.
Looks Like: Can be dry, combo, oily or reactive skin with active, chronic breakouts.
Solution: Clear existing blemishes, control bacteria, and detoxify pores so that skin stays acne-free.

The Supreme Court's decision in the HS2 case is important for UK constitutional law and for the relationship between the UK and EU legal orders. The judgments are wide-ranging, and this is so notwithstanding the fact that the Supreme Court rejected the challenge to the governmental plans for a high-speed rail network.
The discussion begins with the factual and legal issues involved in the case and the legal conclusion reached by the Supreme Court. This is followed by assessment of its implications for the reception and supremacy of EU law in the UK. The analysis then shifts to the Supreme Court's critical observations concerning the ECJ's interpretation of directives relevant to this case, which were counterbalanced to some extent by statements concerning judicial cooperation between national courts and the ECJ.
The remainder of the article is concerned with the Supreme Court's recognition of constitutional instruments and the implications that this has for UK constitutional law. There is examination of the case law preceding HS2 on this issue, followed by the reasoning of the Supreme Court. It will be argued that this development is to be welcomed, and is warranted on normative grounds. The criteria for identifying constitutional instruments are explored, and so too are the more precise legal implications of recognition of such instruments.

Alexa Ray Joel Faints During NYC Performance
by UInterviewApril 15, 2014, 12:00 amApril 15, 2014, 12:00 amApril 15, 2014, 12:00 amNews >
Alexa Ray Joel, the singer-songwriter and daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Binkley, collapsed during a live performance in New York City Saturday night.
Alexa Ray Joel Faints During Show
Joel was playing to a sold-out crowd in the Café Carlyle at the Hotel Carlyle when she suddenly lost consciousness, reported People. She was rushed by ambulance to New York Presbyterian Hospital, where she was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope.
Vasovagal syncope is a heart condition in which blood is blocked from flowing to the brain, causing fainting and loss of consciousness. The condition does not require treatment.
Joel Reassures Fans
Joel released a statement following her release to reassure her fans and thank them for their support.
"I wanted to thank everyone for coming out to support me," she said in a statement to People. "I was excited and determined to fulfill my final performance and I really wanted to end my run with a bang, but this was not what I had in mind and hope I have the opportunity to make it up to the wonderful audience very soon. Thanks for all the concern."
According to Joel's rep, the singer hadn't been feeling well prior to taking the stage to put on her show. "Ms. Joel was taken ill earlier in the afternoon and announced from stage that she pulled out her back and neck, but wanted the show to go on," said the rep.
Saturday was the last day of Joel's residency at the Upper East Side establishment. She'd been performing from the piano at the venue since April 1.

Q: How to make different interface for each strategy? I have following situation.
I make ad rotation and I want to have a few strategies. But how to do it, when different strategies needs different params?
e.g.:
LeastShowedStrategy needs only collection of ads
but
UserRelevantStrategy needs both collection of ads and user
Is there some way how to do it clean or should I give up doing this with Strategy Pattern?
update:
There are a few lines of code, i wrote. I do not know, how to parametrize Strategy, when every strategy has different needs.
class MyEngine::AdsHelper
    def get_ad
        ads = get_all_possible
        Engine.strategy.get_next(ads)
    end
end

class MyEngine::Engine
    attr_accessor :strategy
end

initializer:
MyEngine::Engine.strategy = MyEngine::Strategies::ConcreteStrategy.new

A: Given that the Strategy Pattern is based around using a single interface with multiple concrete implementations, I am not quite sure what you are attempting to accomplish here.  My initial hunch off the information provided is that your needs don't really match the strategy pattern but would need to know more about what you are actually trying to accomplish to provide alternatives.
Strategy Pattern overview pseudo-code
interface ITaxStrategy:
    decimal CalculateTax (decimal Subtotal)

public class NYTaxStrategy : ITaxStrategy

    CalculateTax(decimal Subtotal)
    {
       return Subtotal * 0.08125;
    }

public class UKTaxStrategy: ITaxStrategy

    CalculateTax(decimal Subtotal)
    {
       return (Subtotal * 0.825) + VAT;
    }

The above allows you to inject any particular TaxStrategy implementation into an object that needs it using a builder, factory, DI Framework or similar mechanism but requires a consistent interface / abstract class to define the strategy contract.
Hope that helps...

THR interview: Wong Kar-wai on 'The Grandmaster'
The Hollywood Reporter:
Seated in a hotel suite off Place Vendome in Paris, Wong Kar-wai is in fine spirits. You would never know he has just flown in overnight from Bangkok, where he was working around the clock to finish the international cut of his latest release, the martial arts epic The Grandmaster. The new version that opens the Berlinale is about 13 minutes shorter and also went through a small change in structure.
Grandmaster has already been released in China to positive reviews and generated nearly $45 million at the box office, giving Wong his first bona fide blockbuster. As the film makes its international premiere Thursday night at the Berlinale Palast, audiences will be treated to a mix of stunning action choreography (by Yuen Woo-ping) and Wong's trademark melancholy. The film is an account of how legendary martial arts masters Ip Man (Tony Leung Chiu-wai), Gong Er (Zhang Ziyi), her father Gang Baotian (Wang Qingxiang), The Razor (Chang Chen) and Ma San (Zhang Jin) navigate their lives in politically unstable times in 20th-century China.
Wong, who also presides over the festival competition jury, talked with The Hollywood Reporter about the last-minute fine-tuning of a project he conceived nearly 17 years ago and what the film says about contemporary China.
The Hollywood Reporter: Why did you decide to make an international version of the film?
Wong Kar-wai: The version [released in Asia] has elements which Chinese audiences will be familiar with but which will not be that familiar to foreign audiences. There's so much information that people could easily become confused. For example, during Ip Man's opening voice-over about his own background, he talks about his family having a business on Bonham Strand West [a traditional hub of import-export trade in downtown Hong Kong]. Hong Kong audiences will know what that means, but to foreigners it doesn't mean anything. So we just changed it to how he was running a family business which exports goods to Hong Kong. We made adjustments like this so that international audiences know what it is about.
THR: The film has gone through quite a long period of gestation and production. How different is the final product from the original idea?
Wong: I started out wanting simply to look at Ip Man the person. Later on, however, I discovered what I really wanted to examine is the whole martial arts landscape. I think the biggest question for me was, "What made Ip Man so remarkable?" Some would say it's because he had a disciple called Bruce Lee, but that would be ignoring something that is crucial: the circumstances which shaped Ip Man's life. His life is a microcosm of contemporary Chinese history. He lived through the Qing dynasty, the early republican years, the northern conquest [by the government against warlords], the fight against the Japanese [during WWII] and finally the exodus to Hong Kong [during and after the Chinese civil war between 1945 and 1949]. If you don't give a proper account of this background, you won't be able to understand the difficulties he goes through. Among the Chinese, and especially among martial arts practitioners or artists, there is this very important notion of passing the torch. It's about realizing how one doesn't own what one's learned. Receiving inherited wisdom from the generation of forefathers means there's also a responsibility to pass it on. This is the burden a grandmaster has to bear.
THR: Is this something you can identify with as a veteran in your field?
Wong: I wouldn't really say I'm a grandmaster, so there's nothing autobiographical about the film. But I think just like what Ip Man did for martial arts, Hong Kong cinema needs a new way of thinking. The other day, while working in Bangkok, a friend gave me this 1990s book about Hong Kong films. The author was saying then how we've been making too many films for international markets and we were losing our own unique qualities. But we have to understand that Hong Kong films have been dependent on overseas markets from the very beginning; we've never been dependent on our own domestic market. And now you have all this talk about "going north" to tap the mainland Chinese market. But if Hong Kong films are really good, the sky's the limit. You don't have to rely merely on the mainland Chinese market. You shouldn't really constrain yourself.
THR: So how does it feel now to be a Hong Kong filmmaker working on the mainland?
Wong: My cinema is something that belongs to the Chinese people as a whole, and it shouldn't be limited to just a certain geographical territory in a certain historical era. It's not like I have to make a film with mainland audiences in mind when we have mainland money in it — and in fact, there's quite a bit of money from elsewhere as well.
THR: Can The Grandmaster also be seen as a chronicle of how Hong Kong became what it is, given that it ends with all the martial arts experts settling in the city and becoming part of its urban fabric?
Wong: That's right. This is what I hope the film could be interpreted as. I'm happy now because I never expected the film could whip up so much debate and discussion about the city and what the martial arts masters' roles were in its history. A lot of people were looking up information about the things we mentioned in the film, whether it's the martial arts schools, which were set up there after the war, or other things we touched on in the story. This allows [Hong Kong] audiences to acknowledge, yet again, that we came from this very special place, and where the city's vibrancy and core spirit stem from — that it's a place that we should be really proud of.

YouTuber BitBoy Threatens Class Action Lawsuit Against Celsius & Alex Mashinsky
Ben Armstrong, founder of BitBoy Crypto, says Celsius won't let him withdraw money without first sending more funds to the platform.
Just two weeks after appearing in an ask me anything (AMA) with Celsius founder Alex Mashinsky, crypto Youtuber Ben Armstrong has announced he intends to file a class action lawsuit against the lending platform and its chief executive.
Armstrong made legal threats via Twitter on June 15, and has since provided more detail in multiple threads. His issue is centered on being unable to pay down loans with existing funds on the platform, and instead having to deposit new funds to pay the loans off:
"[Our account rep] told us we had enough money in our account to pay off a loan. But we can't use money in our account. We HAVE TO SEND CELSIUS MORE MONEY TO PAY IT OFF."
"Imagine an insolvent company that you can't withdraw your money from ASKING YOU TO SEND THEM MORE MONEY," he added.
Armstrong stated that he is currently working through the process of getting all "disclosures, documents, loan details, etc" put together while speaking to attorneys to explore the best ways to go about the class action. Co-plaintiffs are yet to be added as Armstrong hasn't "officially began moving" yet.
BitBoy Crypto is the second most subscribed crypto YouTube account with roughly 1.45 million subscribers and primarily provides commentary on market news/events. The channel is only behind Coin Bureau and its 2.07 million subscribers, although BitBoy Crypto has plenty of detractors too, some of whom allege that he has been paid to promote dubious crypto assets in the past.
Armstrong's sentiments towards Celsius have swung wildly from just two weeks ago, when he was featured on the ask me anything (AMA) session with Mashinsky on Celsius' YouTube channel.
"And today I'm the victim. Kicking myself for wondering how I let this get so bad and so far," he said.
Celsius is battling either insolvency or its experiencing severe liquidity troubles as a result of the crypto market plunge. The firm paused withdrawals on June 13, and also reportedly shifted around $320 million worth of assets to pay down loans and avoid liquidation on decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms such as AAVE.
One issue to a potential lawsuit however, is if Celsius files for bankruptcy it will trigger a provision called "automatic stay", which would prevent creditors from pursuing collection activity against the firm.
Celsius has reportedly onboarded restructuring lawyers from Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld to find potential solutions for its financial troubles, however Armstrong claims that these types of lawyers "specialize in MOSTLY preparing companies for bankruptcy."
"Even if Celsius does file bankruptcy, we have discovered some potential workarounds to still do a class action lawsuit (not effected by bankruptcy). Unfortunately I have to keep that one close to the vest for now," he said.
In terms of recouping funds from Celsius, there does at least appear to be a potential option for users with less than $25,000 on the platform to obtain their assets in the immediate future. Joshua Browder, the founder of robot lawyer DoNotPay tweeted a step-by-step strategy on June 15 on how users might be able to get funds back:
2. To file a small claims lawsuit, the first step is to send a demand letter.
The demand letter should say 1) how much you are owed 2) why you think you are owed the money.
For Celsius specifically, you should mail it (return receipt requested) to:

Q: Dojo Form onSubmit Event I would like to use a dijit.form.Form for my application login, allow dojo to perform the form validation and use xhrPost to submit the form. I believe this can readily be done by over-riding the onSubmit event and using this.validate() to validate the login form.
For successful login, how can I tell when the onSubmit event is done so I can safely remove the login form from the DOM?
From the documentation it appears that dojo (validate?) may continue to reference the login form in the DOM after returning (false in my case) from onSubmit. Is there a way to "listen" for the onSubmit event to complete so I can safely remove the login form from the DOM?
EDIT
@BuffaloBuffalo - I tried your example and called dojo.xhrPost within the onSubmit this.validate().
The onSucessFunction received control and completed processing prior to returning to the statement after dojo.xhrPost which is the return false from the onSubmit event. To recap, this.validate() was true, the login form was validated by dojo and the onSuccessFunction received control as shown in your example. However, rather than hide the login DOM, I actually remove it completely with dojo 1.7.3 AMD syntax below:
   var loginDOMnode = dom.byId("Login");
   array.forEach(registry.findWidgets(loginDOMnode), 'item.destroyRecursive(true)');
   domConstruct.empty(loginDOMnode);

I am using IE 9 and I get the following error:

SCRIPT5007: Unable to get value of the property 'value': object is
  null or undefined   ValidationTextBox.js, line 14 character 1

Since I return false from onSubmit this.validate() after I remove the login form from the DOM, it appears that I am removing it from the DOM before dojo is done with the ValidationTextBox. Is there a way to have the onSucessFunction run after I return false from onSubmit this.validate()?

A: If you are using ajax (e.g. xhrPost) to submit the login process, you need to listen to the return of that asynchronous event.  In your custom Form:
onSubmit:function(e){
    //stop event
    dojo.stopEvent(e);
    //validate your form
    var onSucessFunction = function(){
        //hide login dom
    };
    var onErrorFunction = function(){
        //show an error
    };
    dojo.xhrPost({
        //parameters
    }).then(onSucessFunction,onErrorFunction);

},

AN Australian family who met Michael Jackson more than 20 years ago and became lifelong friends was devastated by the pop star's surprise death.
Joy Robson, mother of choreographer Wade Robson, said her family could not come to terms with the news the King of Pop was dead.
"We are all in shock right now," Ms Robson, sobbing heavily, said.
"We're devastated."
A Los Angeles County Coroner's office spokesman has confirmed Jackson had died.
Lieutenant Fred Corral told CNN Jackson, 50, was pronounced dead at 2:26pm (0726 AEST) local time after reportedly suffering a cardiac arrest.
The Robsons, formerly of Brisbane, befriended Jackson when Wade, at the age of five, won a dance competition in Australia where first prize was a meeting with the star.
When Jackson toured Australia in 1987 the pop star invited Wade to perform at his Brisbane concert.
Robsons, formerly of Brisbane, befriended Jackson when Wade, at the age of five, won a dance competition in Australia where first prize was a meeting with the star.When Jackson toured Australia in 1987
Two years later, with the help of Jackson, the Robsons moved to the US so Wade could pursue his dancing career.
Wade appeared in three of Jackson's music videos, Black or White, Jam and Heal the World and today, at the age of 26, is one of the world's most renowned choreographers, hosting his own MTV series The Wade Robson Project, working with Britney Spears and N'SYNC and winning two Emmy Awards.
Wade, Ms Robson and her daughter, Chantal, were called as witnesses at Jackson's 2005 molestation trial in California.
Jackson was eventually acquitted.
The Robsons spent many nights at Jackson's Neverland Ranch. After Jackson's acquittal in 2005, the Robsons were again in tears, but back then it was tears of happiness.
"I've never questioned Michael," Ms Robson said in 2005.
"That's the bottom line. I've never ever had a second of a concern.
"I don't care what people say of me.
"You have to know Michael to understand.
"I've always said to Michael I wished the world could know the Michael we do.
"He's not what the media makes him out to be."
Jackson, aged 50, died in Los Angeles today, although a cause of death is yet to be officially announced.
Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at Jackson's $US100,000 ($A124,378.11) a month rented mansion in the exclusive LA suburb of Holmby Hills, just after midday.
He was taken to the nearby UCLA Medical Centre but was pronounced dead.

About 200 students at an exclusive boys school have been told to stay home as 10 new cases of swine flu have been confirmed in Western Australia.
The WA health department said the latest cases – ratified on Sunday – lifted the number of confirmed cases in the state to 14.
On Saturday, the department reported that an 11-year-old boy from Scotch College and a 23-year-old woman who had visited Melbourne tested positive and were in home quarantine.
Of the 14 cases, nine are children, communicable disease control acting director Paul Effler said.
The nine children, all aged about 11, are at three Perth schools including six at Scotch College, two at Christ Church Grammar School and one at East Claremont primary school, all in Perth's affluent western suburbs.
"We're now working with schools to discuss the best course forward," Dr Effler said.
"We're recommending partial closure or in the case of a small school closure for a limited time."
Scotch College acting headmaster Peter Freitag said about 200 students in years six and seven would stay home this week.
"We've been advised to go for a week," Mr Freitag said.
No one infected with the virus in WA has been hospitalised and all were on their way to a full recovery from the virus, Mr Effler said.

Q: Package Manager Console crashes when using Add-Migration I am using Package Manager Console to add migrations to my database and for some reason it just freezes and does nothing.  The only way to stop it and continue using it is to close down Visual Studio using the Task Manager.  Is this a known issue?

A: I'm not sure if this is a known issue, but I had the same problem, and found a solution for it.
I had to run:
Enable-Migrations -ContextTypeName MyContext -ProjectName MyProject.Framework -StartUpProjectName MyProject.Web

Where I specified:

*

*-ContextTypeName as the name of my context

*-ProjectName as the project that held my Context file

*-StartUpProjectName as the project that held the web application.

You can reference this resource for more information: http://coding.abel.nu/2012/03/ef-migrations-command-reference/

A: Based on Sean Keating's answer, if it solved your "Enable-Migrations" problem, you must know that it might not be enough.
Add-Migration
To create a new migration script, you do it like you would do it normally:
Add-Migration MyModifications

Update-Database
To update the database though, you will have to specify your context's project:
Update-Database -ProjectName MyProject.Framework

Where I specified:

*

*-ProjectName as the project that held my Context file

City police chief ACP M. Chandra said the modus operandi of the perpetrator would be to identify himself or herself as either a bank officer or representative of a government agency or department.
"The scammer will then tell the victims that their identification has been compromised or that their credit card has been used.
"The scammer will then instruct the victims to deposit a sum of cash into an account provided by the scammers," he said, adding that the scammer would normally give the potential victims a short period of time to act to prevent them from having any suspicion of the scam.
The victims will only realise that they have fallen victims after transferring their money into the fake account and all effort to contact the 'so-called officer' (scammer) failed.
Chandra therefore reminded the public to be careful when receiving calls from unknown individuals.
"Do not give out your personal data or information to unknown individuals and always verify the authenticity of the calls," he said.
For further inquiries, the public can contact the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) hotline: Bukit Aman at 03-2616 3999, or the Kota Kinabalu Police Contingent (IPD KK) at 088-318 843 or 088-221 191.

Festival is probably the most over-used word in the month of August in Edinburgh. Apart from Fringe, Edinburgh International Festival and the Edinburgh Art Festival, there are some smaller festivals also happening this weekend and you will certainly find your favourite - let it be food, drink, comedy or art related.
Foodies Festival comes to Inverleith Park for the whole weekend, so fingers crossed for decent weather! Believe it or not, this will be the first time we will be attending Foodies at Inverleith, thanks to the lovely @cazmonkeysaround scoring us some tickets! We are looking forward to checking out the Chefs Theatre with Jane Devonshire 2016 Masterchef winner and local chefs including Kaori Simpson of Harajuku Kitchen (our favourite sushi place!), Dan Ashmore of the Pompadour and Neil Forbes of Cafe St Honore.
If you are into cocktails at New Waverly a brand new coctail festival will be shaking things up. You can get discounted cocktails for the whole month of August by purchasing your ticket via Eventbrite.
Meanwhile in Leith, away from the festival crowds Coburg House will have their summer Open Studios event. Around 80 resident artists are participating including Emily Hogarth. The event is free and family friendly.
The signature opening event of the 70th Edinburgh International Festival is called Bloom and the 'Bloom Arena' is located at St Andrew Square. As in previous years, the multi-award winning 59 Productions will be in charge of the incredible light projections. The event is free, but for priority access to the Bloom Arena you will need to register on the website.
Visit the Perilous Laboratory for the Absorbment of Natural Teachings (P.L.A.N.T.) this Saturday at Salisbury Arms. Wondering what this weird thing is I am talking about? Of course it is Hendricks gin related! P.L.A.N.T. will include an outdoor Hendricks gin terrace and cucumber inspired chef specials. Hendricks will also have a pop-up at George Square Gardens during the whole weekend.
Although I do not have details of the exact aircraft types, we can expect a Tattoo Flypast this Saturday sometime between 6.15pm and 6.40pm. Bruntsfield Links are a pretty cool spot to photograph them if you do not have tickets for the Tattoo. Possible other flypast dates and times are between 7.45pm and 8.10pm on 9, 11, 15, 16, 18 and 25 August.
Gordon Millar of Scot Street Style is hosting The Gathering XV this Saturday in Leith. This year's sponsor is Naked Grouse. Having attended The Gathering VIII back in 2015 at the Biscuit Factory, this will certainly be another cracking event! Make sure to check our Instagram stories on Saturday at @edienthusiast and you can read a blog post on the previous event by Laura Crawford (@thelikelylady) here. But one question remains - what to wear?!
I booked this play based on the rhino poster and very much looking forward to it! The beautiful Royal Lyceum Theatre hosts this new Scottish-Turkish version of Eugene Ionescu's Rhinoceros and it is on until 12 August.
Oh, have you counted how many times I used the word 'festival'?

Georgia Marriage Amendment Rally
Considerettes
Conservative commentary served up in bite-sized bits
Mormons Join the Calif. Gay Marriage Fray
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008	at 1:38 pm
While other Christian groups and denominations may have doctrinal issues with the Latter-day Saints, they do line up on a number of political issues.
SALT LAKE CITY – The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is asking California members to join the effort to amend that state's constitution to define marriage as being between a man and a woman.
A letter sent to Mormon bishops and signed by church president Thomas S. Monson and his two top counselors calls on Mormons to donate "means and time" to the ballot measure. A note on the letter dated June 20 says it should be read during church services on June 29, but the letter was published Saturday on several Web sites.
Church spokesman Scott Trotter said Monday that the letter was authentic. He declined further comment, saying the letter explains the church's reasons for getting involved.
The LDS church will work with a coalition of churches and other conservative groups that put the California Marriage Protection Act on the Nov. 4 ballot to assure its passage, the letter states.
In May, California's Supreme Court overturned a voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage, saying gays could not be denied marriage licenses.
"The church's teachings and position on this moral issue are unequivocal. Marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and the formation of families is central to the Creator's plan for His children," the four-paragraph letter states.
Mormons say they have 750,000 member in California, who could have a big impact.
What's not clear in all of this, regardless of the addition of the Mormons to the fray, is how California will deal with the genie they've already let out of the bottle; what to do with marriage licenses that the amendment would directly affect. This quandary, brought to you by Judicial Activism(tm), is the result of liberals in government not letting the legislative process do its work and trying to usurp it. Some complained here in Georgia that the constitutional amendment that passed here was unnecessary since we already had a law against same-sex marriage. The California situation is a prime object lesson for why that argument was, at least, disingenuous.

What happened to Terrarium TV? It appears the developer of Terrarium TV, an app that provided links to copyrighted content, has called it quits following a number of other developers in the pirating community. The Facebook community for the app still advertises the app yet the link directly to the developer's web page shows a message "terrariumtv.com's server DNS address could not be found".
This is what visitors to the TerrariumTV Website will find as of now.
This should come as no great surprise as sources close to the development community have told me candidly that many enthusiasts who have been developing add-ons and APK's have been getting nervous in the face of stepped up pressure from studio organizations. Some of the people behind various apps and websites have received a notice to take down their sites and apps. Others are beginning to see the writing on the wall and realize that they could be the next TV Addons. TV Addons, a group of Kodi third-party developers is in the midst of two lawsuits in two countries.
The Terrarium disappearing act is not limited to its website. The app was also available via Github, a website where developers from multiple projects post open source code but the entry for Terrarium TV has been pulled from a number of entries the hub as well though it can still be found. This could very well mean the end of the Android app at least as far as new development. While there appear to be a number of websites that promote Terrarum TV without cooperation from the original developer it is not likely that development will be picked up by anybody else.
This screen capture from Github shows that TerrarumTV is not found on the server.
Studios are beginning to take the fight to the distributors of their material and they have the resources to really make life tough for the people who are sharing their content via links to servers. While the website and app owners seem to use a sort of degree of separation defense often posting statements like "______ does not host any content…." it is obvious that the apps, which are often ad-supported profit from the distribution of the links. The distributors are starting to see that not only can these content companies find them, the studious will name them as they did with Adam Lackman, of TV Addons.
So don't count on finding TerrariumTV's website up and running anytime soon. Do you think Piracy on its way out?Sign in to Disgus with your facebook Let us know below!


In the fall of 2017, TGB Group provided conceptual layouts and civil design for various elements of a new facility for Hoyt's Trailer Shop of Topeka, Kan.
The centerpiece of the project was a new 9,000-square-foot building with office space, storage capacity and two open bays for trailer semi-service with expansion capabilities for up to two additional bays. The site plan also included parking/storage areas for the trailers Hoyt's will sell.
The project will be submitted for review to the City of Topeka by the end of 2017 and ready for construction in early 2018.
Hoyt's Trailer Shop encompasses three lots in the ADR Industrial Park, for which TGB Group provided extensive street and water main design services earlier in the year.
Hoyt's is a family-owned, family-operated business launched in 1993 that will soon have three locations in Topeka. They're engaged in truck repair and maintenance, used truck sales and new trailer sales.
