Omar Khairat to perform at Cairo Opera House on October 20
Egypt IndependentOctober 1, 2020
Acclaimed Egyptian composer and pianist Omar Khairat will give a performance at the Cairo Opera House on Tuesday, October 20 at 8:30 pm.
The Ministry of Culture has set up two open-air theaters at the Cairo Opera House in July to allow cultural events to resume while maintaining social distancing precautions. However, it plans to keep the Cairo Opera House's main hall closed until further notice.
Khairat's last performance was on September 29 at Al-Manara theater's open-air stage located in New Cairo.
Khairat is the founder and conductor of the Omar Khairat Band.
He was born in Cairo and raised in a family of musicians. His uncle, Abou-Bakr Khairat, is a great Egyptian composer of classical music, part of the first generation of such composers in Egypt.
An architect by profession, About-Bakr Khairat studied privately in Paris and founded the Cairo Conservatoire, which is regarded as the premier music conservatory in Egypt.
Omar Khairat, About-Bakr Khairat's nephew, entered the observatory in 1959, studied piano with Italian Maestro Vincenzo Carro, and took courses in music theory and composition at Trinity College in England.
Khairat, whose music is said to bridge the divide between contemporary Egyptian and Western genres, has composed a number of works, including The Magic Perfumes (1989) and Arabic Rhapsody (1992).
His compositions have been featured in various movies and TV shows and he has performed at the Cairo Opera House a number of times.

The Bristol Royal Infirmary inquiry has announced that it will review a sample of 80 case notes on 1,800 babies and children who received open or closed heart surgery at the hospital from 1984 to 1995. Review teams drawn from the inquiry's 35-strong expert group will systematically review the sample to look at the adequacy of pre-operative, surgical and post- operative care and the adequacy of care overall. A summary of findings will supplement written and oral evidence about services at the infirmary. The inquiry now has more than 34,000 pages of documentation judged relevant to its work.

One of the many things nobody ever tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change from being young.
Dorothy Canfield Fisher's quotes
If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two weeks' vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days.
She was scrubbing furiously at a line of grease spots which led from the stove towards the door to the dining-room. That was where Henry had held the platter tilted as he carried the steak in yesterday. And yet if she had warned him once about that, she had a thousand times!
Some people think that doctors and nurses can put scrambled eggs back into the shell.
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.
Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you've conquered human nature .
Freedom is not worth fighting for if it means no more than license for everyone to get as much as he can for himself.
A mother is not a person to lean on but a person to make leaning unnessary.
A mother is not a person to lean on but a person to make leaning unnecessary.
Help that is not positively necessary is a hindrance to a growing organism.
A mom isn't an individual to lean on, but a person to generate leaning needless.
A mother is not a person to lean on, but a person to make leaning unnecessary.
But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.
Edmund Burke
I grew up with art from the innocent age of ten - with art, but with no sense of identity.
John Lone
Death comes not to the living soul, nor age to the loving heart.
Phoebe Cary
I'm very pleased to be here. Let's face it, at my age I'm very pleased to be anywhere.
For example, UNICEF works with governments to change legislation such as in India where a law was passed raising the age of compulsory school completion to keep children in school and away from the workplace for longer.
Carol Bellamy
I figured out it was a social thing, what women were allowed to do. At a very young age, I decided I was not going to follow women's rules.
I wish I knew at 14 not to put much thought into what other people my age said to me, cause we were all looking for the answers. So I wish I knew that other people really don't know any more than you do!
Will Estes
I believe very firmly that gay people of every stripe and age should be role models for all children, and that means interacting with them.
Donner likes what he does and enjoys being on a set. He doesn't have to do it, its not like he has to make the rent. When I get to be his age and still enjoy what I'm doing like him, I'd be lucky.
Ethan Embry
Does age matter? Time doesn't matter.
I realised from a very early age that God gave me a gift, and that gift was to run, and I wanted to use it to the best of my ability.
Betty Cuthbert
Looking back, I think we were all quite mature, surprisingly responsible. In earlier wars, boys of our age had just gone off to raise hell or enlist or both, but we stayed dutifully at our desks doing tomorrow's homework.
John Knowles
This is the patent age of new inventions for killing bodies, and for saving souls. All propagated with the best intentions.
Interest is the spur of the people, but glory that of great souls. Invention is the talent of youth, and judgment of age.
For me, having a child is a really great responsibility because you've got something there that is depending on you for information and love until a certain age when it goes to school.
I don't think at my age... you can start ruling people out in politics.
Kenneth Clarke
I figured my body always would be able to repair itself. I think all of us believe that - until you begin to age and get hit with deteriorating joints.
Lee Majors
Another principle is, the deepest affections of our hearts gather around some human form in which are incarnated the living thoughts and ideas of the passing age.
Matthew Simpson
I read. It's also nice for me to get involved in schoolwork, which is a totally different world than acting. It makes me feel like I am doing things that normal people are doing at my age.
When you're my age and you see a story, you better go for it pretty quickly. I'd just like to get a few more novels under my belt.
Hollywood is sexist and age-ist, and that covers all the bases, I guess.
Middle age is the awkward period when Father Time starts catching up with Mother Nature.
Harold Coffin
America doesn't reward people of my age, either in day-to-day life or for their performances.
When you get to a certain age, the work begins to thin out.
In every age poets and social reformers have tried to stimulate the people of their own time to a nobler life by enchanting stories of the virtues of the heroes of old.
But in our age the appeal to authority is weak, and I am of my age.
Allen Tate
Well, I was lucky enough to be involved in about 19 failures at an early age, so I'm realistic about the success I'm having and how quickly it can go away. What's important is to be smart about it.
I'm glad now, at age 66, that I never used alcohol or tobacco... I've buried a lot of friends who used tobacco or alcohol.
All we can do when we think of kids today is think of more hours of school, earlier age at the computer, and curfews. Who would want to grow up in that world?
Like I said on my bio on my webpage, I was born at an early age, I was close to my mother.
Peter Jurasik
What makes old age so sad is not that our joys but our hopes cease.
Women would be disproportionately affected by the privatization of social security. It is one of the most important safety nets for American women in old age, or in times of disability, to insure financial income for their families.
Barbara Mikulski
Old age is a special problem for me because I've never been able to shed the mental image I have of myself - a lad of about 19.
O love, if I regret the age when one savors you, it is not for the hour of pleasure, but for the one that follows it.
In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job.
I never - you know also one of the things that would save me for a man my age, it was not that easy to lose that much weight and fall down and look like something draped.

Several Cord Cutting Services Are Going to Fail & That Is A Good Thing
By Luke Bouma on October 15, 2018 in All News, News
You may have noticed a flood of new live TV streaming services launching. As best we can tell there are now almost 20 live TV streaming services available in the United States with more on the way. There are also over 100 on-demand streaming services in the United States with more on the way.
If you have wondered how so many live TV streaming services can survive you are not alone, and the truth is some will not make. We already have seen CenturyLink shut down their live TV streaming service.
Competition is a great thing, and the consumer is the winner. Yet the truth is the live TV streaming market is overcrowded. With so many services, there honestly are not enough people to support all of them.
As we go into 2019 look for several live TV streaming services to shut down—maybe even a few big ones. The only question now is which ones will shut down.
Does this mean cord cutting is slowing down or overrated?
Look for a flood of stories about how a major live TV streaming service closing means cord cutting is overrated. The truth is cord cutting is growing faster than ever and is larger than ever. Just like how not every business that opens in your town will succeed, not every streaming service will make it.
Some media companies may try to say this means cord cutting is doomed, this is not the case. Just like how not every pizza place will make it, not every streaming service will make it.
Why is this good for cord cutting?
When you are free to pick the services that are best for you that means the best services will remain. As the best services are left standing it means they will have more subscribers and more resources to grow their services.
Prepare yourself for people to try and make every streaming service that shuts down an indictment on cord cutting. The truth is this is just a part of the normal maturing of cord cutting.

What Is ATSC 3.0 Over-the-Air TV? We Take a Look at the New OTA TV Standard


I'm actually not super familiar with the Ocean's Franchise outside of seeing Oceans 11 on TV when I was younger. I never saw the sequels but from what I have heard they are decent and the fact that a trilogy was made implies that the oceans franchise was fairly popular. Fast forward to 2018 and we have Oceans 8 a sequel/reboot though mostly a sequel. Now I am definitely not in the target market for this but I enjoy a good heist movie and with the trailers being alright I thought there could be some potential here.
I will mention this movie has a had a bit of a backlash when it was announced though there was definitely not as much vitriol as with the recent Ghost Buster reboot. Thankfully this misguided anger seems to have faded as the release drew closer so hopefully that a good sign and these backlashes won't happen as much but it's the internet and as much as I love it can be terrible.
On to the movie itself I thought it was pretty decent. There were some cool and interesting elements here and there but it was mostly by the book and there were a few things in the movie that I found a bit contrived. The best thing about the movie and what really elevated it was the cast, the main characters are interesting, charismatic, they play off one another really well and are easily the most interesting part of the movie. Sandra Bullock is pretty good as the lead, Cate Blanchett is really good as the 2IC and plays it real cool. Anne Hathaway plays a character that seems to be based on what people think she is like which is a bit weird but she ends up being pretty likable by the end of the movie. Sarah Paulson is pretty good and sort of acts as bit of the straight woman grounding Sandra and Cate's characters. Rihanna is kind of weird in this movie but she makes it work. Helena Bonham Carter is alright though her chacater fades from view as the movie goes on. Then there is Mindy Kaling and Awkwafina who I will say get a slightly short straw in the movie which is unfortunate but they do get to flex their comedy chops. Even James Corden is pretty decent and that is not something I was expecting his role is a bit weird but his interaction with the main cast is fun. Overall the cast is the best part of the movie especially how the interact and play off each other. Each of the 8 is really charismatic and compelling is just a bit too bad the movie falls apart on other front.
In terms of story and how the heist is structured its pretty basic. There are some cool elements here and there but also there are fair amount of times where you have suspend your disbelief as routine security/due diligence would probably have stopped some of the aspects of the heist. There is a fashion component to the movie which is not bad but there are certain instances that I found dwell on it a bit too much. The ending is also a bit mixed, for the most part its cool but there are a few aspects that kind of come out of nowhere. If you have seen the trailers there is this job within a job that's referenced and while some aspects of it are clever other parts are a bit out of nowhere.
Ocean's 8 is a fairly average heist movie and there are some aspects of the story and certain details that work against it. However it has an amazing cast that elevate it from average to decent. The original director of the Oceans trilogy made Logan lucky last year which I though was a much better movie. But Its cool this exists, it's not the most amazing heist movie but it's fun enough and the cast really elevate it.
Disclosure: The company is work for has Roadshow Films as a client who are the distributors for Ocean's 8 (2017). I work on this account and worked on the campaign for this movie, I also saw this courtesy of Roadshow at a Roadshow screening before general release.

Fueled by Social Media, America's News Outlets Have Really Gone off the Rails With Russiagate /
Fueled by Social Media, America's News Outlets Have Really Gone off the Rails With Russiagate
For several months we've been hearing a crescendo of outcries that Russia used social media to sway the 2016 presidential election. The claim has now been debunked by an unlikely source: one of the most Russiagate-frenzied big media outlets in the United States, the Washington Post.
Far away from the media echo chamber, the Post news story is headlined: "There's Still Little Evidence That Russia's 2016 Social Media Efforts Did Much of Anything."
The article focuses on "what we actually know about the Russian activity on Facebook and Twitter: It was often modest, heavily dissociated from the campaign itself and minute in the context of election social media efforts."
The ballyhooed Facebook ads were notably not targeted to be seen in swing states, the piece by Post journalist Philip Bump reports. As for the much-hyped tweets, they were smaller than minuscule in quantity compared to overall election-related tweets.
But don't expect the fervent story about Russian manipulation of social media to fade away anytime soon. At this point, the Russiagate atmosphere has become so toxic, with incessant propaganda, credulity, fear-laced conformity and partisan opportunism, that basic logic often disintegrates.
One of the weirdest aspects of claims that Russia undermined the election with social media has involved explaining away the fact that few of the ads and posts in question actually referred to Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump or the election. Instead, we're told, the wily Russians tried to help Trump by inflaming social divisions such as racial tensions. It's a rampant storyline (rendered here by NBC News political director Chuck Todd) that's reminiscent of the common claim during the civil rights movement that "outside agitators," such as Russian-directed reds, were inflaming and exploiting racial tensions in the South.
From there, it's just a hop, skip and a jump to smearing Americans who dissent from U.S. orthodoxies as useful idiots who serve the interests of plotters in the Kremlin.
Of course, history is not exactly repeating itself, but it's rhyming an awful lot. There are real parallels between the McCarthy era and today's anti-Russia fervor in the United States. Despite all the information and analysis that have strengthened progressive understanding in this country during the last few decades, fixating on Russia as culpable for the election of Trump has been widely irresistible. Perhaps that fixation is less upsetting than deeper realization of just how rotten the U.S. corporate system of injustice has become, and how the forces that brought us the horrors of the Trump presidency are distinctly homegrown.
Narratives scapegoating Russia now have an extremely powerful grip on the USA. The consequences include heightened U.S.-Russia tensions that absolutely mean heightened risks of nuclear war and worsening threats to democratic discourse at home.
The conditioned reflex to label as somehow "pro-Putin" any opinion that overlaps with a Kremlin outlook is becoming part of the muscle memory of much of the American body politic. Countless journalists, pundits, activists and politicians have fallen under the Russiagate spell. They include the liberal primetime lineup on MSNBC, where, as the media watchdog group FAIR pointed out last month, Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes routinely bypass stories of great importance in order "to lead with minutiae from the ongoing Russia investigation that has consumed MSNBC's coverage like no other news event since the beginning of the Trump presidency."
Across most of the media landscape, the meme that Russians attacked American democracy with social-media posts has been treated as self-evident.
In a typical exercise of the conformity that afflicts the national press corps, the Washington bureau chief for Mother Jones magazine, David Corn, wrote this fall that the House intelligence committee needed more staff to investigate, in his words, "how"—not whether—"a foreign adversary attacked American democracy." His piece breathlessly declared that "the Trump-Russia scandal" was "expanding—it now includes new revelations regarding Moscow's use of social media in the United States to influence the 2016 campaign."
That kind of stenography for powerful spin may snag cable TV appearances and lucrative book contracts, but it's a notable disservice to journalism and democracy.
Meanwhile, most Democrats on Capitol Hill are eager to engage in such rhetoric. So, it was just another routine appearance when Senator Richard Blumenthal went on CNN a week before Christmas and declared "there is increasing evidence that the Russians are continuing their attack on our democracy." He said: "The Russian attack on our elections in 2016 was endlessly ingenious and inventive, using all kinds of social media, all kinds of intermediaries, sources of information for them."
To put it mildly, that sort of bombast gains vastly more airtime than discussing the urgent need for détente between the world's two nuclear superpowers.
On MSNBC, Rachel Maddow has climbed with her ratings to great mass-media acclaim, while advancing herself from the outset of the Trump presidency as one of the most prominent and irresponsible Russia baiters in U.S. media. At this rate, when Maddow retires (if she and the rest of us are lucky enough to avoid a nuclear holocaust), she can look back on a career that deteriorated into an obsessive crusade against Russia that increased the chances of World War III.
In this poisonous media environment, it's fitting that Maddow, time after time after time, has devoted so much of her program to the illusory Russian assault on democracy via social media.
That's the way it goes in the propaganda-polluted land of Russiagate.


Yes, it's been almost a year since I posted, but nobody blogs anymore right? Anyway, I've been busy. I made a human! Welcome baby Kepi — two months old yesterday and cute as a button.
I have a huge backlog of crafty goodness to share and am currently obsessed with this year's garden plan. More soon (I think).


Your students will enjoy participating in this super simple and easy to remember rhyme if you use finger puppets to introduce a new set of vocabulary.
1. Put on one of the finger puppets and say "Hello, children. I'm (ex. a parrot)." and encourage children to say "Hello (ex. parrot)" .
"Parrot finger, parrot finger, where are you?
Here I am, here I am. How are you?"
3. Continue with other animals.
4. Then take out finger puppets one by one and say "Bye, bye children." and students respond "Bye, bye, (ex. a parrot)."
- You can introduce different types of greetings at the beginning (Hello, Hi, Good morning, Good afternoon) and at the end (Bye, Goodbye, See you) of the activity.

EU trade mark
An EU trademark offers protection for all (currently 28) countries of the European Union by means of a single application. EU trademarks are registered by the European Union International Property Office (EUIPO), established in Alicante, Spain.
The advantage of an EU trademark is that protection can be obtained for a large area for a relatively modest fee. A fee of 850 euro is charged for an online registration for a single class and 1,000 euro for a paper application.
There is, however, a downside. Rights generally come with obligations, and a right covering such a large territory brings greater obligations. An EU trademark is subject to the 'all or nothing' principle. A successful objection in just one country is lethal to protection in all other EU countries.
For that reason, applying for protection for a part of the EU where your client does not operate directly can expose him up to additional risks. This applies not only to the registration phase, but also, or indeed especially, to maintenance and enforcement of the right.
EUIPO must assess a trademark in all EU languages. If the trademark proves to be descriptive in one language, for example, the application will be refused. An EU trademark must be distinctive in all EU countries, as confirmed by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU, case C-25/05). Furthermore, an objection from any EU country could result in the entire EU trademark being refused (as a result of an opposition proceeding) or cancelled at a later date (as a result of an action for revocation). The percentage of EU trademarks against which opposition is filed exceeds fifteen per cent. You should therefore not underestimate the risk of the trademark not being registered, or only being registered after lengthy, complex and often expensive legal proceedings.
This risk can be lessened somewhat by converting an EU trademark into separate national applications in such cases. Conversion into national applications can, however, quickly becomes quite complicated and expensive, especially when multiple countries are concerned. Furthermore, protection is also fragmented over the separate applications in different countries, which makes managing your trademarks portfolio more difficult, and renewal of all the separate registrations much more expensive. You can avoid these pitfalls by 'embedding' an EU trademark in an international trademark.
Once a trademark has been registered, it must be used. If it can be shown that a trademark has not been used within five years of registration, it may be declared lapsed.
In the case of ONEL/OMEL (C-149/11), the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruled that since an EU trademark enjoys broader protection territorially, it is reasonable to expect it to be used in a larger geographical area than a national trademark. The Court of Justice ruled as follows:
"A Community trade mark is put to 'genuine use' within the meaning of Article 15(1) of Regulation No. 207/2009 when it is used in accordance with its essential function and for the purpose of maintaining or creating market share within the European Community for the goods or services covered by it. It is for the referring court to assess whether the conditions are met in the main proceedings, taking account of all the relevant facts and circumstances, including the characteristics of the market concerned, the nature of the goods or services protected by the trade mark and the territorial extent and the scale of the se as well as its frequency and regularity."
The requirements as regards maintenance/usage are thus stricter for an EU trademark than for a national trademark.
Enforcement (action against infringement)
The reason for protecting a trademark is to be able to enforce the resulting rights. In much the same way as maintaining a right, enforcing a right is more difficult in a large area.
If you choose to protect a trademark in a much larger area than that in which your client actually operates, you increase the probability of disputes arising. This works two ways:
If an older trademark or trade name exists somewhere in the EU, and is identical or similar to your client's trademark, this could have fatal implications for your client's EU trademark as a whole;
If another company starts to use an identical or similar trademark in the EU at a later date, even if it is in an area in which your client does not operate or has no interests, it is advisable for you to enforce the EU trademark. This is because if you have tolerated a more recent trademark for longer than five years, you can no longer take action against it, if, for example, the other party's activities later begin to encroach on those of your client.
Checking whether older trademarks are protected and monitoring and taking action against more recent ones are therefore very important tasks in the case of an EU trademark, and are often a costly business.
EU trademark: conclusion
An EU trademark provides protection throughout the EU at relatively little cost. However, you should not underestimate the risk of the trademark ultimately not being registered, or only being registered after lengthy, complex and often expensive legal proceedings. There can also be downsides to maintaining and enforcing the rights afforded by an EU trademark.
An EU trademark may be worth considering if a trademark is used in all or a substantial part of the EU. There are, however, other options, such as an international trademark or an EU trademark by means of an international application, which may offer more options and certainty, especially if your client does not operate in the EU, or in a substantial part of it, or indeed if he also operates outside the EU.
For more information contact our Information Centre or EUIPO.
Will an EU trademark or international trademark registration remain valid in the United Kingdom after Brexit?
The Brexit negotiations are currently still in progress. Definitive arrangements for the Brexit relating to EU trademarks and international applications and registrations indicating the EU are being elaborated. As soon as more information becomes available, we will post the news on our website. Latest updates


· Best Answer: Wherever there is electricity, there are also electric and magnetic fields, invisible lines of force created by the electric charges. Electric fields result from the strength of the charge while magnetic fields result from the motion of the charge, or the current.
I added a great related link below that will answer your question plus any others you may have.
An electromagnet works because an electric current produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field produced by an electric current forms circles around the electric current, as shown in the diagram below: If a wire carrying an electric current is formed into a series of loops, the magnetic field can be concentrated within the loops.
10 · Soubiran and Militzer believe the answer is yes: "This is a new regime for the generation of planetary magnetic fields," said Militzer. "Our magnetic field on Earth is generated in the liquid outer iron core.
Nondestructive testing is, simply stated, exactly what its name implies - testing without destroying - to investigate the material integrity of the test object. More specifically, a nondestructive test is an examination of an object, material or system in any manner, which will not impair its future usefulness.
Believe it or not, Magnetic Slime is a great model to explain a method to fight cancer: immunotherapy! With a simple change to the slime you made, you can see the cancer-fighting model in action. The change is to use iron oxide powder instead of iron filings when making your slime.
chapter 23 | electromagnetic induction, ac circuits, and electrical technologies 815 Figure 23.5Rotation of a coil in a magnetic field produces an emf. This is the basic construction of a generator, where work done to turn the coil is converted to electric energy.
This class discusses the origin of electrical, magnetic and optical properties of materials, with a focus on the acquisition of quantum mechanical tools. It begins with an analysis of the properties of materials, presentation of the postulates of quantum mechanics, and close examination of the hydrogen atom, simple molecules and bonds, and the behavior of electrons in solids and energy bands.
The same active and passive magnetic shielding methods used to reduce fringe fields also protects the main magnetic field from certain outside influences, such as the presence of stationary ferromagnetic material or slowly moving stray fields outside the magnet room.
· Best Answer: EM waves are also called photons (when considered as discrete particles). Light is visible photons. Microwave are also photons Radio-waves for wireless network or cell phone are photons. Heat is infrared photons.
We can remember this diagram using the right-hand rule. If you point your pointer finger in the direction the positive charge is moving, and then your middle finger in the direction of the magnetic field, your thumb points in the direction of the magnetic force pushing on the moving charge.
Why does the RF-field have to be applied at the Larmor frequency for resonance to occur? What is meant by flip angle? Are the individual nuclei still precessing after a 180°-pulse?; Why are all the spins brought into phase with one another after a 90°-pulse?I don't understand why this should happen.


You might wonder, with all the needs in Haiti, why support the soccer initiative? It may sound odd to focus on sports when meeting basic nutritional needs is a struggle, but this program follows our strategy of encouraging integral health and education programs. Starting an outdoor soccer program in Latiboliere is a logical choice because soccer can be played year round and set up costs are minimal.
Our program is new but building momentum. In Latiboliere, just say the word "football" to the children and smiles instantly appear! Children love to play soccer, but due to economic circumstance often play in their bare feet. Without adequate equipment, the risk of injury is great, while the opportunity for even basic healthcare is scarce.
To add joy to the lives of those much less fortunate by providing basic soccer gear accompanied by a structured program. The Haiti Soccer Initiative working with the Sports Committee of Latiboliere teaches soccer and promotes teamwork, fair play, reinforces family values and strengthens community ties. It scores dividends for families and the community.
Needed education is also provided on personal hygiene, public health, and sound personal decision making.
Funds are needed to improve field conditions, build a fence and purchase goal posts. Fields are rocky, uneven, and dangerous. Goal posts are made of wood and need to be replaced often. The fence is made of dried sugar cane plants, which is routinely eaten by goats.
Gift Cards to Sports Authority or other local Soccer Shops.
If you have a passion for soccer, are comfortable approaching individuals and asking for donations or are skilled at planning special events help us reach our goal by joining the Haiti Soccer Committee.
Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

How can I help you? Mobile app market's customer service reboot
by William J. Francis in Software Engineer , in Tech & Work on July 1, 2011, 3:18 AM PST
William Francis sees a glimmer of hope that the mobile application market will bring back something that has been missing in the software industry for far too long: the personal touch.
Back in the early 90s I decided to learn more about video game design. I did some research, and I purchased a book called the Action Arcade Adventure Set by Diana Gruber. The book came with a companion disk and a collection of game programming libraries. (The book is still available online if anyone is interested, though a number of the technical details discussed are likely no longer accurate on modern PC architectures.)
In those days, serious computer games were developed for MS-DOS, and while there was such a beast as Microsoft Visual C++, most of us were still using Turbo C++. I read Action Arcade Adventure Set from cover to cover, but when I set about compiling the examples on the companion disk, no matter what I tried, I'd get a linker error. In a last-ditch effort, I called the technical support number listed on the back page of the software manual.
The number was long distance, and after the fourth or fifth ring I was certain I was going to be dumped to an answering machine, but then the phone clicked and a woman's voice answered: "Hello?"
"I'm sorry," I said befuddled. "I was trying to reach Gruber Software."
"This is Diana Gruber," the woman replied. "How can I help you?"
"Oh," I tried again. "Well you see I had a technical support question about linking one of the library object modules."
"Which module?"
"The tile scrolling libraries."
"My husband, Ted, did that one. I'll tell you what -- we were just in the middle of lunch here. Can I get your number and have him call you back?"
I said he could, and he did. In almost no time, Ted had me up and running.
So what does this have to do with app development? Recent experiences lead me to think that the current mobile app industry has a lot in common with the early to mid-90s PC software market. The smartphone and the phenomenal app market that appeared out of virtually nowhere (thank you, Apple) is giving software professionals a rare opportunity to do a bit of a reboot.
There are certainly mega-app development houses with their scrummy software development cycles in full swing cranking out products for iPhone and Android, but there are also pretty amazing apps being put out there by one and two person teams. I recently had fantastic customer support experiences with two smaller (smaller being a relative term) Android software shops: NitroDesk and Carrot App. It made me feel a little nostalgic to personally deal with folks who were passionate about the products I was calling about.
I'm not saying big software development shops are evil; software shops grow because they have a hit application on their hands, and that is what every developer dreams of for his or her baby. My point is that the software industry lost something over the last decade that was detrimental to developers and users: the human factor.
For the foreseeable future, those of us wading through this new and exciting mobile app market have the opportunity to bring that personal touch back to the software community. While I don't believe there is a magic formula for hitting it big in the mobile marketplace, a well-engineered product, offered at an affordable price, backed by accessible and knowledgeable support personnel, sure sounds like a good start.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TSU News Service) – Tennessee State University's Aristocrat of Bands and country music megastar Keith Urban came together during the singer's recent tour stop in Nashville and the show stopping performance has taken the world by storm.
The TSU world renowned band, fondly called AOB, was featured as a part of Urban's closing song, and number one hit "Wasted Time." The singer introduced the band to a sold-out Bridgestone Arena.
The crowd roared with each marching step of head drum major Hassan Moody and the 40- member band ensemble. That was nothing compared to the dramatic closing that culminated when both Urban and Moody took flight and landed in splits on stage. The photo and video have gone viral on social media.
Hassan, an Atlanta, Georgia native, said it was a once in a lifetime moment and it couldn't have happened at any other place than at TSU. After having a day to reflect, the business administration major said it's something he will always cherish.
Dr. Reginald McDonald, director of bands, said the request came from Urban unexpectedly, a day before his Nashville appearance.
"The band's performance was amazing, and the element of surprise for the audience made our appearance even more electric," said McDonald.
McDonald added he informed band staff about the request and gave specific instructions for them to work out the logistics. He said the students learned a valuable life lesson as musicians.
This isn't the first time TSU's band has made national headlines or been in the spotlight. The AOB played on the lawn of the White House for President Barack Obama and guests in 2016 and performed at halftime of the 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio. Both venues were the first for any college band.
Please visit the TSU homepage at www.tnstate.edu and social media to view video and photos of the performance.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TSU News Service) – More than 100 area kids came to Tennessee State University's main campus on Monday in observance of the national Week of the Young Child, April 16-20.
The event, which is usually in April, is sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and celebrates early learning, young children, their teachers and families.
At TSU, the children, ranging between ages 3-5 from North Head Start in Nashville, listened to nursery rhymes and children songs like "Old McDonald Had a Farm," "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," and "Mary Had a Little Lamb," performed by members of the Aristocrat of Bands and music education majors.
About 25 TSU students interacted with the children and demonstrated musical instruments like the clarinet, the French horn, trombone, and trumpets in the band room at the Performing Arts Center.
According to Dr. Reginald McDonald, director of Bands, the kids also participated in a demonstration of percussion instruments and saw clips of the TSU marching band.
"The joy on the kids' faces showed that they were very happy with how they spent their time," said McDonald.
He said the goal of the invitation and the interaction with the kids was to let the community know that "TSU's music and band programs" are accessible.
"I believe that we should be accessible because there are others in the community who genuinely benefit from our accessibility. You never know, some of these kids might be here in a few years as members of the band just because of this experience today," McDonald said.
Throughout the week, Nashville community partners, departments and agencies will be making "fun" presentations to students at various schools and sites.

Q: I am having trouble installing CakePHP on my Mac I currently have XAMPP 5.6.8 and MAMP 3.2.1 installed on my computer. I also have Composer installed globally on my Mac.

If anybody can help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.

A: You have to install and enable ext-intl on your system before installing cakePhp.
You will get the instruction here

A: Check http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/installation.html#requirements
In XAMPP, intl extension is included but you have to uncomment extension=php_intl.dll in php.ini and restart the server through the XAMPP Control Panel.

A: The OSX answer to this is to go to "php-osx.liip.ch" and run this command for PHP 5.6 (Current stable) in your command line interface (CLI):
curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 5.6
After that is complete, establish the path to your PHP binary. You could use anything you want, but I used vim. Here is the command at the CLI:
"vim ~/.bash_profile"
This will lead you to a CLI text editor. I am told that some people may not have a "usr" directory, if not, feel free to make one. Please go elsewhere to see how to do this.
In the meanwhile, after you have executed "vim ~/.bash_profile", and inside the editor, feel free to press "i" for insert, and then type your path. The line is "export PATH="/usr/local/php5/bin:$PATH". When you are done that, press escape and then ":wq" the ":" stand for "I wanna enter a command", and "wq" stands for "write and quit". When it is done, you will be returned to the command line.
You then enable you path by typing "source ~/.bash_profile". This will enable your new path. Close the CLI and restart it (if needed). Your new path will be "/usr/local/php5/bin/php". You can ascertain this if you type "which php" at the CLI.
This will now change the PHP universal from the default PHP that came with your Mac to the one you then specified. After which, feel free to bake with composer!

Community-Based Awareness
If You Are Assaulted
If Someone You Know Is Assaulted
Victims Legal Rights
Crime Victims Bill of Rights
What is sexual assault?
Sexual assault is any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient.
What is the difference between sexual assault and rape?
While sexual assault represents a broad range of unwanted contact or behavior of a sexual nature, rape is defined as unwanted penetration, whether this is oral, vaginal, or anal. This means that rape is a form of sexual assault.
How often does sexual assault or rape occur?
According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men experience some form of sexual violence in their lifetime. Nearly 1 in 5 women and 1 in 71 men in the U.S. have been raped at some time in their lives. (Source: National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, 2010.)
At what age can sexual assault begin?
Sexual assault can begin at any age. One in three women who experienced sexual assault indicated it first occurred between the ages of 11 and 17, and one in nine women reported being assaulted before the age of 10. Almost 30% of men reported being raped for the first time before the age of 10. (Source: National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, 2010.)
At what age are people at the highest risk of being sexually assaulted?
People ages 12 to 34 years are at the highest risk for rape and sexual assault. Women ages 16 to 24 years are at the highest risk of being victims of rape and sexual assault.
How often is sexual assault or rape reported?
Rape is the most under-reported crime, and 63% of sexual assaults are not reported to the police. Also, more than 90% of sexual assault victims on college campuses do not report the assault. (Source: National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, 2010.)
What is the age of consent in Georgia?
The age of consent in Georgia is 16. Both partners must be at least 16 years old to do anything physically intimate or sexually arousing – from "messing around" to having oral sex or intercourse.
What is statutory rape?
Statutory Rape is having intercourse with any person under the age of 16 years (unless you are married). Statutory Rape is a felony that carries prison time. O.C.G.A § 16-6-3
If the victim is at least 14 but less than 16 years of age and the person convicted of statutory rape is 18 years of age or younger and is no more than four years older than the victim, such person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. O.C.G.A § 16-6-3 (c)
What about the Romeo and Juliet Provision?
The Romeo and Juliet Provision does not make underage sexual activity "legal" but rather lowers the charge from a felony to a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor can still carry jail time, probation, or a fine. (Source: National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, 2010.)
What is an Advocate?
An Advocate is someone who will support clients and assist them in any legal, medical, or personal issues related to the assault. An Advocate will also recommend other resources that will assist the client's needs. Advocates have 40 hours of initial training and 10 hours of annual continuing education.
What if I was assaulted or raped?
If you are sexually assaulted or raped, call the 24-hour hotline at 770-834-RAPE (7273) for resources and advocacy support.
If I call, who will talk to me?
The 24-hour hotline is answered by an Advocate. The needs of the caller are assessed. Referrals will be made if necessary. PARC offers immediate services to sexual assault victims, their family, and their friends.
What if no one believes me?
The staff at PARC will believe you. We specialize in assisting people who have been directly or indirectly impacted by sexual assault or rape. We will provide the support you will need throughout your healing process. We will assist you in any legal, medical, or personal issues that may arise due to the assault, and we will do this while creating a safe and supportive environment.
What if alcohol or drugs were involved?
The use of alcohol or drugs does not mean that you deserved to be assaulted or raped. A person who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs does not have the capability to give consent to any type of sexual activity. At times people can be taken advantage of because they are under the influence. If this is the case for you or someone you know, the assault or rape was not your fault, and PARC can still assist you in your time of need.
What if I know the person who raped me?
In eight out of ten cases of rape, the victim knew the person who assaulted them. Nearly one in ten women has been raped by an intimate partner. It does not matter if you know the person who raped you; rape is a crime. PARC is here to help you if you have been raped or assaulted.
What risks are associated with being a victim of sexual assault?
Survivors of rape attempt suicide at a rate of 13%, and 94% of women will experience symptoms of PTSD within the weeks directly after being raped. (Source: National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, 2010.)
Will PARC provide services to victims that do not report to law enforcement?
Yes, regardless of whether a report is made or is not made to the police, PARC's services are still available to victims and their families.
What is a Counselor?
A Counselor is someone who possesses an advanced degree and is licensed by the state to provide therapy based upon principles generally accepted as being appropriate to sexual violence. They may also recommend other resources that will assist in meeting the client's needs.
What does the assessment consist of?
An assessment is a list of questions that helps the counselor understand your needs.
What kinds of resources may be provided?
Your counselor may talk with you about other services that PARC provides, and may recommend various professionals or services that can assist you in accomplishing your personal goals. These recommendations may include books and other resources, as well as particular kinds of activities or coping techniques.

MCC urges compassion for Central American migrants
July 21, 2014 - Marla Pierson Lester
MCC Photo/Saulo Padilla
An MCC-supported group visits a soup kitchen that provides meals to migrants passing through Nogales, Mexico, including those sent back from the U.S. to Mexico. Participants in West Coast MCC's Global Anabaptist Peacebuilders (GAP) Institute include, standing from left, Caleb Dalke of Dallas, Ore.; Mara Weaver of Bloomington, Ill., who is serving with MCC's Serving and Learning Together (SALT) program in Mexico; Crystal Fernandez, a West Coast MCC immigration documentation worker; Priscilla Rodriguez of Mathis, Texas; and Amy Gonzalez of Reedley, Calif.
AKRON, Pa. – With an unprecedented number of Central American families fleeing violence and poverty in their home countries and arriving at the U.S. border, Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) has committed $30,000 to an initial response and is assessing other potential assistance.
"Our call to welcome the stranger is bigger than ever," stressed MCC U.S. immigration education coordinator Saulo Padilla, saying in his six years in the position he has never witnessed as many women and children at the border as he has in recent trips.
In visiting at centers serving those who have been deported into Mexico, meeting people at bus stops on both sides of the border and interacting with Mennonite churches who are caring for these immigrants in their own communities, he finds himself thinking of Matthew 18, especially verse 5 – "Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me."
MCC staff are still working on details of this response, and more information is coming on these plans. Donations of money are welcome at donate.mcc.org/migrants, by calling 1-888-563-4676, or by sending donations to MCC U.S., 21 South 12th Street, Akron, PA 17501, specifying "Central American migrants."
This is a continuation of long-standing MCC work. For years MCC has provided encouragement and resources to congregations to welcome newcomers to the U.S., worked with Anabaptist churches to provide services for immigrants in the U.S. and supported projects to address the root causes of migration in Mexico and Central America so more people can choose not to leave home.
MCC invites you to pray for these families and to consider how you can advocate on their behalf. Go to mcc.org/act-for-migrant-families to see an MCC U.S. Washington Office action alert with more background information, a faith reflection and suggestions for action.

Setting the stage for a community event is a process that requires a lot of energy and time. Its organization normally revolves around increasing its publicity and cementing its success. To pull off a successful community event, there are certain steps that you must obey.
Seeking permission from local authorities First, you must seek permission from the local authorities. You would have legalised your event by seeking a permit. In this regard, you must furnish your local authorities with the requisite information. These details pertain to the projected number of guests, the date of the event, time and venue. Also, remember to seek the permit at the earliest opportunity. This will save you the blushes of being time barred.
Being a community event, you should enjoin your neighbors and friends in its organisation. These people will assist you to tackle all the logistics within your set deadline. The advantage of seeking their assistance is that you trust and know them very well. Therefore, there will be chemistry since all of you understand what is at stake.
With the help of your neighbors and friends, you must draw up a comprehensive plan for the function. This involves listing any supplies that would be paramount to the success of your event. Additionally, you should discuss the programme of activities for that day. Other issues that need sorting include the publicity campaign for the event and the seating arrangement.
Publicity is also a key component of the planning process. It aims to create awareness about your event and pull in your required number of participants. Fortunately, there are several avenues that can aid the publicity campaign. You can promote your event via your local newspapers, radio or television stations. Here, your main challenge is to convince these media outlets on the importance of the event.
An inexpensive way of creating publicity is by distributing flyers. Before your community function, you can attend events that are similar to yours. You can then distribute your flyers to the participants. Publicising your event can also materialise via word of mouth. This can only work if you possess a charming and talkative nature.
Having contacts with a celebrity will also add impetus to your event. A famous personality is sure enough to pull crowds. Many participants will show up in the knowledge that they will witness something special. On a cautionary note, you must ensure that you deliver as per your promises.
As a member of your community, you are either an influencer or dweller. In the former case, this rears itself when you organise community events. Your influential role can only manifest itself when you lay down astute plans for the event. Do not fail to plan because it means that you are planning to fail.
In LWP Property Group's new home developments, there are plenty of public spaces with which to organise a truly amazing community event. LWP is commited to developing new communities around Perth with plenty of lifestyle choices and entertainment for people of all stages of life.


First off, I don't have any stake in sharing this with you. I'm just telling you about it for your own safety and the safety of your loved ones.
Resqme is a small escape tool that can help you get out of your vehicle after a crash.
In spite of its small size, it has a spring-loaded spike to break side windows and a concealed razor blade to slice through seat belts.
Collisions can jam doors shut and lock seat belts in place. If you end up in water or your vehicle catches fire after a wreck, having this tool can save your life.
It's available for around $10 from Amazon, Walmart and other stores.
I hope you never need to use it, but I recommend you consider getting one for every driver in your family.

Q: L2 SVM (squared hinge) theory The linear L2 SVM can be intuitively understood as
\begin{equation}
   \text{minimize } f(\boldsymbol{w}) = \frac{1}{2} \Vert\boldsymbol{w}\Vert^2_2 + C \sum_{i=1}^m \xi_i^2 \tag{1}
\end{equation}
where $\xi_i = \text{max}(0, 1 - y_i\boldsymbol{w}^T\boldsymbol{x}_i)$.
However, in papers, I often find it presented instead as (1) s.t. $\xi_i \geq 1 - y_i\boldsymbol{w}^T\boldsymbol{x}_i$.
What are the mathematical conditions that allow the equality constraint $\xi_i = \text{max}(0, 1 - y_i\boldsymbol{w}^T\boldsymbol{x}_i)$ to be recast as the inequality constraint $\xi_i \geq 1 - y_i\boldsymbol{w}^T\boldsymbol{x}_i$?

A: The two problems are equivalent.
[To be clear, the optimization problem with the inequality constraint is an optimization with respect to $w$ as well as $\xi_1, \ldots, \xi_m$.]
Consider the version with the inequality constraint. Suppose $w$ is fixed, and we want to find the best $\xi_i$; this is simply minimizing $\xi_i^2$ under the constraint $\xi_i \ge 1 - y_i w^\top x_i$. Do you see that the best $\xi_i$ is $\xi_i = \max(0, 1- y_i w^\top x_i)$?


Prabal Gurung's fall/winter 2019 show on Sunday night marked the midway point of New York Fashion Week, though as Gurung proved, there's plenty more still to come. There was still a bit of New York in his latest collection, but for the most part, Gurung—who was born in Singapore and raised in Kathmandu—took inspiration from his recent travels through India and Nepal. Perhaps it was the bold hues, from magenta turquoise mixed with earthier tones like army green, but somehow, the mix didn't feel forced: tie-dye, cargo pants, and puffer jackets managed to blend in with pattern-heavy evening wear, much of which came complete with Taj Mahal motifs, ostrich feathers, and brocade woven in Varanasi. And, as usual for Gurung, the cast was arguably just as stand-out as the clothes: Candice Swanepoel continued reasserting her reign since giving birth to her second child last year by snagging the show's closing spot, after fellow Victoria's Secret models Winnie Harlow, Duckie Thot, Taylor Hill, and Bella Hadid made cameos on the runway. Head backstage with them all, plus Ashley Graham and Dilone, here.

550 Peruvian leaders trained in governance and political management
Peru, December 12, 2013
CAF promoted training in seven decentralized headquarters in the country, in alliance with the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP) (Catholic University of Peru), and the George Washington University's Graduate School. The program seeks to train a critical mass with management and negotiation capacities, communication management, and construction of political, economic, and social feasibility.
(Lima, December, 2013).CAF, Development Bank of Latin America, Peru's Catholic University (PUCP for its acronym in Spanish), and George Washington University's Graduate School, closed the "XI Program on Governance and Political Management", having trained 550 people in seven regions of the country, among which were authorities, civil servants, and representatives of the civil society, in order to advance the transformation processes with low levels of conflict.
Eleonora Silva Pardo, CAF's Director Representative in Peru, was present in the act, as well as Henry Pease Garcia, Director of PUCP's School of Government and Public Policies, and Ismael Muñoz, Coordinator of the Governance and Political Management Program at the PUCP.
Silva Pardo stated that CAF considers that although mobilizing resources to finance infrastructure projects is an essential aspect for the development of nations, the multilateral entity also believes that in order to consolidate a comprehensive growth in the region, it is a priority to promote a democratic culture and ethical values aimed at strengthening Latin American societies.
Thus, the Governance and Political Management Program fills a niche as, according to her, it connects clearly with CAF's vision to support countries in their social, political, and economic needs and, what is essential, guide these actions to train citizens that act as transmitters of progress and social equity.
In addition, Ms. Silva Pardo stated that the strategic value of the program lies in the importance of training to guide the future social and political actors, instilling the importance of recognizing and consolidating a comprehensive vision of the political, economic, and social management, of strategic communication, and effective leadership, all of which must result in better governance in Peru.
Ms. Silva Pardo stated that "CAF will continue to support these types of initiatives, as it considers that if there is a critical mass of actors with the capacity to solve conflicts and generate consensus, institutional development strengthens and the countries' degrees of governance improve.


Showing results for tags 'st3000dm001'.
I have a Seagate 3TB (ST3000DM001) that I have had some trouble with. Seatools for DOS (the only versions I have managed to run) claims that it is OK, but according to HD Tune it has 57848 retired sectors. I'm not able to run Seatools for Windows. The disk controller is set to AHCI in BIOS. I have read that the disk shouldn't be in AHCI, but when I change that I'm not able to boot. The disk is still under warranty and I would like to return it, but I'm not sure that the shop will take it back as long as Seatools claims that it is OK. Does anyone have any advice?
Dear friends.. I have to replace one drive ST3000DM001 , so I'm thinking about to get one ST3000VN000 (5900 RPM) or one ST3000VX000. I don't have to buy more ST3000DM001 since I have had issues with those drives. One more question: What can of problem could have if I mix hard drives with different RPM (5900 and 7200) under a RAID-5? (I have a DS413j) TWO -> - 7200 RPM = Seagate Barracuda 3 TB HDD SATA 6 Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 7200 RPM 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive ST3000DM001 ONE -> - 5900 RPM = Seagate NAS HDD 3TB SATA 6GB NCQ 64 MB Cache Bare Drive ST3000VN000 Thanks for your posts.

Ok so while I wasn't head over heels for this book, but I did like it. There were some parts that didn't seem believable but not to the point I gave an eye roll…just borderline.
Eden…daughter of a mobster in New York and is told she has to leave and go into hiding…not by her father but one of his henchmen. So she leaves for parts unknown to end up in New Orleans. Really? New Orleans? Not the safest place to be a single, female, alone…not knowing one single soul. But its a place that Eden has always wanted to visit so she takes advantage of her banishment and heads for the big easy. Oh, yeah, it's during Mardi Gras.
Bishop…hot, sexy, alpha male (who rocks a man bun)who is a tattoo artist in New Orleans, who is hiding from his own demons. He see's Eden in a crowd…lost, scared and ready to be pounced on and he rescues her from who knows what. For some reason he feels super protective of her and takes her under his wing so to speak. Their lives entertwine by fate in New Orleans but it goes even deeper then that. Secrets come out, twists and turns and deception come into play. This was a face paced romance with a burst of suspense and drama. Bishop and Eden may have met on a street in New Orleans but when their pasts and secrets come out it left my mouth hanging open…..There are characters from other books and I look forward to going and reading their stories as well.
"You ever broken the law before this, Eden?"
I expected a quick and unequivocal no, but it didn't come as fast as I thought it would.
"I don't think so. I mean, I'm sure I have by accident sometime. I've jaywalked.
But I'm not some kind of criminal."
Well, that makes one of us, I thought.
My anger from earlier started to fade and be replaced by the heat of the knowledge that Eden's naked tits were only inches from my chest, separated by water I could see right through. Last time I'd seen them under her pink bra, she'd been too fucked up for me to take advantage . . . but tonight she was completely sober.
I raised my gaze from her chest, expecting her cheeks to be red when she realized I was staring at her nipples, but she wasn't watching my face. She was staring down at my body.
That got her attention.
Eden jerked her head up to meet my eyes, and the blush colored her skin like I'd timed it.
"You're . . . big."
A booming laugh broke free from my throat at her unexpected response, and her cheeks flamed even brighter.
"No, that's not what I meant. I mean . . . everywhere. Not just, in the . . ." She looked down, then jerked her gaze back to mine. "I'm going to shut up now."
That kind of awkward and fumbling response couldn't be faked, and protectiveness rose in me again. Eden was no con artist. She was a girl who couldn't even say the word cock without turning red.
"Ain't no shame in my game."
She reached out a hand and covered my lips with her fingers. "Stop. You're just making it worse. I wasn't checking out your . . . package. I mean, I did before you got in the pool, but that's only because I thought you'd have underwear on because who doesn't wear underwear?" The babbling continued, and so did my laughter.
Hell, I hadn't laughed this much since Delilah had given in to a customer's request and tattooed a flexing veined eggplant cartoon on a client so he could send pictures of it instead of dick pics.
Eden pulled her hand back and covered her face. "I'm going to stop talking now. I seriously can't be trusted to say anything that's not completely humiliating when you're standing this close to me naked."
"I disagree, and since I'm not ready to get out and put my clothes on, you're going to have to deal with it."
She mumbled something under her breath.
Eden pressed her lips together for a beat before saying, "I don't know how to deal with it. This isn't something I've ever dealt with before."
A crazy thought popped into my brain. "Are you a virgin?"
If there was a red brighter than fire engine, that was the color of Eden's cheeks.
"No! Of course not. Really. I've touched a dick before. I mean, just the one, but it still counts. Well, I didn't really touch it. Except, you know, inside me. Oh my God, I'm just going to shut up now."
Realization dawned on me as her babbled protest silenced. "You've had sex with one guy? Once? How old are you?"
Eden turned to bolt, but instead smashed her tits into my arm. I stepped close enough so that only an inch of water separated us.
Her gaze went skyward. "This is so humiliating."
That's where she and I had differing opinions. "Why? Because you haven't fucked every guy you've ever met? What's wrong with that?"
Eden's gaze snapped down to mine and her brows drew into slashes. "Hey, whoa now. You can toss that double-standard crap right in the trash. What if I had screwed every guy I ever met? Would that make me less of a person? I mean, it's not like you probably haven't been with dozens and dozens of women.
I'm not judging you. Except for maybe that Kitty girl. I mean, really? You've got to have some standards."
My laughter boomed out again across the courtyard. "Cupcake, just because I can get most any pussy I want, doesn't mean I do it."
"Still, double standards are—"
When she started on another tirade, I decided to silence her the best way I knew how.
I leaned down and covered her lips with mine.

OS X 10.11 El Capitan Runs on All Macs Capable of Running Yosemite
Monday June 8, 2015 5:34 PM PDT by Juli Clover
OS X 10.11 El Capitan, the successor to OS X Yosemite, is capable of running on all Macs that are able to run Yosemite, according to the OS X 10.11 release notes (via Ars Technica). The first developer beta is listed as supporting the following Macs, which are the same that are able to run Yosemite:
- iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
- MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
- MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
- Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
- MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
- Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
- Xserve (Early 2009)
OS X El Capitan is focused heavily on performance improvements to make the Mac "snappier and more efficient." According to Apple, apps launch up to 1.4x faster and app switching is up to 2x faster. Displaying the first Mail messages when opening mail is up to 2x faster, and it's up to 4x faster when opening a PDF in preview.
El Capitan also brings Metal to OS X for the first time, improving graphics for more fluid performance in games, high performance apps, and key system-level graphics operations.
iOS 9, the upcoming update for iOS devices, has also been designed to work with all devices that run iOS 8. Even older A5 devices like the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4s will be able to run the new operating system, and in many cases, performance will improve over iOS 8 thanks to the optimizations being introduced.
Both OS X El Capitan and iOS 9 will be available to the public in the fall, with a public beta becoming available in July.

Thankfully Apple's insistence to still sell computers with spinning HDDs, and release 'updated' computers with worse specs, has forced their hand to improve software performance. If you work around the limitations of the hardware, it's likely you'll bring out the best from the software.
Anyway, good job Apple. You did the right thing on focusing on performance rather than new features.

MacBook Retina: SSD only

Only the iMac and Mac mini (and the legacy MBP 13") even have HDD options.

You all DO realize that they named it El Capitan because it is supposed to be similar to Yosemite...not a huge update on features, but on performance...akin to Leopard, then Snow Leopard. Get it, Yosemite, then El Capitan!

4x faster to open a PDF in preview?!?
Great Yosemite messed up preview so bad-probably to make el capitan snappier.

Brains will not be re-opening any pubs in Wales on July 13
A spokesman for the pub chain said it would only be welcoming back customers when it could re-open fully, indoors and out

Brains has said it won't be re-opening any of its pubs on July 13, when venues can begin welcoming customers back outdoors only (Image: South Wales Echo)
Pub chain Brains will not be re-opening any of its venues in Wales on July 13, the date the Welsh Government has said bars, restaurants and cafes can begin serving the public again outdoors.
A spokesman for the pub chain said it wanted customers to be able to use all of the facilities in its pubs.
But the Welsh Government decision last week means venues are still barred from serving people indoors, despite the fact pubs in England can now welcome people inside.
Some pubs in England have, however, been forced to close once more, after people tested positive for coronavirus.
A statement released by Brains on Tuesday, July 7, said: "During lockdown we have been working incredibly hard to be ready to re-open our pubs indoors and outdoors safely for the benefit of our team members and customers.
"We are waiting to be given a date and guidelines for the full re-opening of pubs from the Welsh Government, which we hope will be as soon as possible.
"We want our customers to be able to use all of the facilities in our pubs come rain or shine and to receive a warm welcome back in safe surroundings.
"We will not be able to do that by opening outdoors only from 13th July and so we will not open any of our managed pub gardens on that date.
"We really look forward to welcoming back our customers when we are given the green light to open fully. Thank you for your patience and loyalty."

The news may not come as a shock as CEO of the Welsh firm, Alistair Darby, revealed last week that its pubs would "struggle" to restock in time.
The 53-year-old also shared his frustration at the lack of time to prepare, how it wanted pubs to fully re-open soon and that plans to sell off 40 sites were effectively on hold.
The scenes as bars re-opened in England:
Brains is not the only chain which will not be re-opening in Wales next week.
Wetherspoons has also said the business will only re-open its pubs in Wales "when they can fully do so".

Superior Donuts by Tracy Letts at Southwark Playhouse
The Trick and Sarah Stribley Productions present the UK premiere of Superior Donuts by Tracy Letts, at the Southwark Playhouse's 'Little Space', a fringe venue near Elephant and Castle in south London, from 11 Feb to 8 Mar 2014.
Directed by Ned Bennett, this drama about the challenges of embracing the past and the redemptive power of friendship first premiered at the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago in 2008, before transferring to Broadway.
As Starbucks and organic food stores pop up all around it in UpTown Chicago, Arthur Przybyszewski continues to run the small rundown donut shop set up by his Polish immigrant father. Neglected by its owner and damaged by vandals, Superior Donuts only survives thanks to a diverse group of loyal neighbourhood customers. But when Arthur hires an excitable romantic, Franco Wicks, who wants to change the shop for the better to work alongside him, he is forced to confront the modern reality of the American Dream.
