MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man was shot late Saturday night after three men forced their way into his home.
Police arrived at the scene in the 2500 block of Dwight Road around 11:30 p.m. Saturday.
There, they found a man lying in the front yard with a gunshot wound.
The victim told police he was outside with another person when three people, one of whom he knew, approached them with a gun and demanded they let them into the home.
The victims complied, and the suspects stole money from the residence, police said.
One of the suspects shot one of the victims while they were inside the home, and then all three suspects drove away, police said.

Q: Why does jQuerys' show function work in this way? i am just showing thank message on button click.
JSfiddle
In this demo Thank you message comes from left side.

Thank You

.btn {
    width:100px;
    height:100px;
    background-color: green;
    display:block;
}
.thank-you {
    padding-bottom: 20px;
    display: none;
    font-size: 25px;
    color: green;
    text-align: center;
}

$('.btn').on('click', function () {
    $('.thank-you').show('slow');
});

My problem :

*

*why it is come from left side? (actually it should only show me element like fadeIn)

*How to show thank you message from top side using show function if possible. (Without animation function)
update - Is it possible using time and height property or other way to show thank message from top (looks animated).

A: Question 1: Why does it animate like that?
The reason it animates is because you specified slow and the text is centered. As the width animates it appears to slide in.
Using slow implies you want animation, so it animates everything it feels it should to meet your aim (width, height, margins etc).
For example this will just show it http://jsfiddle.net/TrueBlueAussie/d6w2nq99/16/:
$('.btn').on('click', function(){
    $('.thank-you').show();
});

My personal preference is to fadeIn. e.g. http://jsfiddle.net/TrueBlueAussie/d6w2nq99/28/
$('.btn').on('click', function(){
    $('.thank-you').fadeIn();
});

Question 2 (updated): How to animate down from the top
As for your second question, the position is purely down to your styling. You can place it anywhere.
Try animating the top position (of an absolutely position element): http://jsfiddle.net/TrueBlueAussie/d6w2nq99/30/
$('.thank-you').hide();
$('.btn').on('click', function(){
    $('.thank-you').show().animate({'top': 0});
});

Note: the initial styling of the thank you is offscreen (negative top position).

A: *

*From JQuery documentation:

When a duration, a plain object, or a "complete" function is provided, .show() becomes an animation method. The .show() method animates the width, height, and opacity of the matched elements simultaneously.
  LINK

It is animated in the way you see it (from left to right) as this function was created in such way in JQuery core.

*You cannot "show from top side", you can show any object in the place it is, or use the default left->right animation. If you want to slide it from top you can use functions like slideDown().

A: Try using .slideDown() then,
$('.btn').on('click', function(){
    $('.thank-you').slideDown('slow');
});

DEMO

A: Remove display: none from .thank-you(CSS) and change your jQuery to:
$('.thank-you').hide();
$('.btn').on('click', function(){
    $('.thank-you').fadeIn('slow');
});

Fiddle

A: Check here:
$('.btn').on('click', function(){
    $('.thank-you').show("slide");
});

A: if you want the element to slide from top then you'd have to use animation properties
Something like this
$('.btn').on('click', function(){
$('.thank-you').animate({
    top: "300px",
  }, 500 );
});

Fruit gaming machines are the oldest genre in the direction of gambling. For over a hundred years, fruit slots have offered players jackpots and large payouts.
The first and most noticeable feature of fruit slots is the images. Mostly, you can the pictures of plums, cherries, watermelons, and other fruits on the reels. Also, the symbols of sevens, BAR, jokers, and diamonds are popular.
Fruit slots is a genre of classic slot machines. For most of its history, mechanical and electromechanical slots were three-drum. The vast majority contained symbols of fruit. So now many online slots in this genre are three-reel.
Three-drum fruit slots are usually very simple. They offer simplified gameplay, often without bonus games. They contain up to 9 prize lines, so getting a win is quite difficult. Their advantage is the ability to hit a large payout or jackpot.
Five-reel fruit machines are also common. Due to the bigger number of reels, such slots offer special symbols, bonus games, free spins, and other bonuses. However, such fruit slots games are often very simple.
It should be noticed that in the UK, all the slots located in pubs and clubs are called fruit slots. In such a way, they are distinguished from ones that are located in casinos. Fruit slots in England are limited in rates and payouts. You cannot put more than two euros, and the win limit is up to 500 euros.

'War For The Planet Of The Apes' Will Introduce A Character From The Original Film
By eelyajekiM | @ | December 23rd, 2016 at 9:00 am
The rebooted Planet of the Apes franchise isn't so much of an actual reboot as it is a prequel that leads up to the original 1968 film. Starting off with Rise of the Planet of the Apes, we saw how mankind made its downward spiral while Apes rose to power. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes showed us just how far man has fallen, and that the Apes were quickly becoming more intelligent. Now with War for the Planet of the Apes, we'll see man's last stand against the primates, but because this is a prequel to the original Planet of the Apes, we kind know where it is all heading. While there hadn't been any significant nods so far that bridge the two franchises, Matt Reeves' upcoming film will include a very important character from the original film.
Check out who this mysterious character is in the photo here below.

By eelyajekiM | @ | October 6th, 2016 at 6:16 pm
It goes without saying that studios who attend major Comic-Cons will be there with some footage of their upcoming tentpole films. While the San Diego Comic-Con is in a league of its own, the New York Comic-Con isn't one to be overlooked. In the past few years, it has been making a name for itself, and with Lionsgate announcing that they will be presenting footage from John Wick: Chapter 2 and Power Rangers, it looks like audiences are in for some more geek goodness.
20th Century Fox is the latest studio to announce that they will be having a panel for their upcoming films as well. Now, they have unveiled the first look at War for the Planet of the Apes by releasing a teaser trailer at NYCC today. Check out the teaser here below.

Ronda Rousey To Play Herself In Autobiographical Movie
By eelyajekiM | @ | August 3rd, 2015 at 6:15 pm
One could argue that MMA fighter Ronda Rousey is one of the greatest athletes of this generation. Her fighting techniques allows her to bring down her opponents almost in an instant. In her latest match, Rousey was able to knockout Bethe Correia in 34 seconds flat. Aside from her MMA activities, Rousey is also a film star having appeared in The Expendables 3, Furious 7, and Entourage (for which she played herself). With her stardom only just taking off, it was only a matter of time before her life story would be turned into a movie. And now with Paramount purchasing the rights to her autobiography, they have just done that. But rather than go through the audition process to find someone in her likeness, reports are saying that Ronda Rousey will play as herself in the film.

Powerful delegation is vital to effective project operations. Many persons involved simply because leaders in project supervision are, nevertheless , fearful of abordnung. They fear that in cases where they use outsourcing for, the function will not carried out properly. Deadlines will not realized. They can trust cooperation and team-work to others; they should do most things themselves and directly supervise the is a delegation themselves that needs to be carried out properly, nevertheless. Project administration depends after delegation simply because of the law of the division of labor: one person or crew focused on the subject of a few particular task(s) is normally more efficient and even more beneficial than one individual attempting to handle multiple tasks. One can not be all details to a task or an organization. As much as good venture and teamwork head out, these elements take care of themselves out of an "emergent properties" perspective when delegation is done properly. The more laissez-faire project supervision can be, the better. That administrator is greatest exactly who is able to you want to appear at are definitely the nine things be careful of with abordnung. To state, powerful task supervision depends on effort and team-work; and right delegation makes these elements arise successfully. What should you be cautious of once charging in the function of project manager? Don't be vague. For anyone who is involved in job management and you aren't asking jobs, you have to be quite particular regarding what every task is expected to accomplish, how soon it ought to be done, and what the doing the task should anticipate. Vague product descriptions lead to devious outcomes and inability to satisfy deadlines. Make sure that the deadlines you set will be realistic. They need to be authentic and do-able time-wise, and they must be realistic and do-able for the purpose of the people who you select for the process. Definitely, your delegation must entail selecting the right persons intended for the best responsibilities insofar his or her abilities and skills choose, although you must also ensure from the outset that the persons you assign duties to planning to experience scheduling challenges or perhaps conflicts. Present every important data to each abordnung. Also stage those you will have delegated duties to to any different means that they could possibly use to finished their focus on period. Venture and teamwork may possibly be amongst these means. Ensure that you can be obtained as the project operations leader.
Your delegates are able to come to you with any questions or concerns about the project or perhaps their jobs. Furthermore, you will need to hold these people trusted. Need periodic improvement records of your delegates. However, don't be heavy handed down about this. A regular position report must be ample, presuming the job will certainly take for a longer time than one week to is undoubtedly assumed that you are delegating tasks for job management since you have a tendency have the time to do anything on your own. It will be that you are thus overwhelmed which you can not provide express instructions meant for the jobs. If this is the case, you must make sure that you use outsourcing for a person simply because the contact person and the director of the job. That will come to be this model's responsibility to be the "right hand" and to provide the specifics to the people engaged to ensure that there is good collaboration and teamwork. Usually, even the supervising of a job must be assigned. Any time at almost all possible, use outsourcing for this to someone with experience managing jobs or experience in the type of job which the task needs of the persons involved. Once you have delegated, remember to keep the hands away as far as possible. Allow the engaged in the project creative space. Make them produce their individual options, and even make suggestions about how you need to do things better. What matters is the fact you get the desired effects and project outcome. Naturally , you need to have the final say in approving changes to things, although there is definitely no have to have being addition to obtaining the weekly status update, have in place a process for the purpose of credit reporting on the task. It can be important that you could have frequent use of info on just how everything is moving on. Choose this a non-disruptive system. Those engaged in the job should be able to conveniently record posts without the need to pay out a visit. They are not really disrupted by this, and you also can not want to have the own routine constantly a log for your own concerning who's doing which will tasks. Observe all status reports and recorded details on progress in your log. Keeping the log makes your brain fresh new about the job at the same time it allows you to double-check any kind of details.
Typically overlook to offer praise and credit when tasks will be completed effectively and about time, or the moment there is great progress being made on a job. Individuals require confident responses when ever they happen to be carrying out stuff right. Certainly not only carry out they require it, nonetheless positive responses also retains them focused, keeps them motivated, and helps them to determine what they will should always be you will see, there is much to successful delegation for successful task management. Delegation is not really basic element. This requires thought, understanding of a project's requirements, and an awareness of those who work within you. Cooperation and team-work will fall into place any time proper abordnung is done from the outset. Through proper delegation, you guide a project through to it is preferred results. You do this without needing to micro-manage or supplying yourself head aches. All concerned are more happy and the task turns away just how that everybody tendencies.

The healthcare industry is also called the medical industry or health economy and its is an aggregation and integration of sectors within the economic system that provides goods and services to treat patients with curative, preventive, rehabilitative, and palliative care. It includes the generation and commercialization of goods and services lending themselves to maintaining and re-establishing health. The modern healthcare industry is divided into many sectors and depends on interdisciplinary teams of trained professionals and paraprofessionals to meet health needs of individuals and populations. The healthcare industry is one of the world's largest and fastest-growing industries. Consuming over a quarter of gross domestic product of most developed nations, health care can form an enormous part of a country's economy. The healthcare sector consists of companies that provide medical services, manufacture medical equipment or drugs, provide medical insurance, or otherwise facilitate the provision of healthcare to patients. Health care in the United Kingdom is a devolved matter, with England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales each having their own systems of publicly funded healthcare, funded by and accountable to separate governments and parliaments, together with smaller private sector and voluntary provision. As a result of each country having different policies and priorities, a variety of differences now exist between these systems. Since the early ages the total healthcare expenditure in terms of the world's GDP has in general moved up in scale. Also, the private sector for health insurance has also tend to be know to play an important and prominent role in the increase in country's overall GDP in terms of medical sector growth. Workforce challenges in the healthcare industry, such as staffing shortages in hospital specialties and nursing shortages are evident across the globe. Compounding the problem is a scarcity of next-generation skills to guide and support the transformation to becoming patient-centric, insight-driven, and value-focused organisations. When planning for the future of work, health care organisations will need to assess the physical proximity, automation level, and talent category. The medical industry has been quite adamant on its objectives and goals and has constantly sought out to provide a comprehensive and dynamic range of services. The medical industry is known to shape most of the goals and agendas towards providing its services around the needs and preferences of individual patients along with their families and their careers. Medical industry professionals have constantly been responsive towards tending to the different needs of different populations within a particular country. Working continuously towards improving the quality of services and to minimise the possibility of errors within the work field has been one of the constant goals to be achieved by the industry and its professionals a whole as well. The industry is keen on providing support and value towards its staff. The use of public funds for healthcare is ideally tendered towards use for the patients within. Work with others to ensure a seamless service for patients. The industry has also helped in keeping people healthy and work to reduce health inequalities from within. Medical professionals have also been quite respectful in maintaining the confidentiality of individual patients and provide open access to information about services, treatment and performance without any shady interference. Overall the industry growth and fidelity is quite admirable in terms of working ethics conditions and individual response towards other people as well.
The United Kingdom is a sovereign state located off the north-western coast of Europe. The country includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland and many smaller islands. The United Kingdom provides public healthcare to all permanent residents. UK also has a growing private healthcare sector that is still much smaller than the public sector. The National Health Service which was founded in the early 1900's, and is responsible for the public healthcare sector of the United Kingdom. Despite there being separate health services for each country, the performance of the National Health Service across the United Kingdom can be measured for the purpose of making international comparisons. A national health service was one of the fundamental assumptions in the Beveridge Report. The Emergency Hospital Service established in 1939 gave a taste of what a National Health Service might look like. Healthcare prior to the war had been an unsatisfactory mix of private, municipal and charity schemes. It was decided that the way forward was a national system rather than a system operated by local authorities. He proposed that each resident of the United Kingdom would be signed up to a specific General Practice as the point of entry into the system, building on the foundations laid in 1912 by the introduction of National Insurance and the list system for general practice. Patients would have access to all medical, dental and nursing care they needed without having to pay for it at the time. In the early 1980's there was a systematic and decisive rejection towards the reversal of the Post-war consensus, whereby the major political parties largely agreed on the central themes of Keynesianism, the welfare state, nationalised industry, public housing and close regulation of the economy. There was one major exception: the National Health Service, which was widely popular and had wide support inside the Conservative Party. In 2011 the government had signed off on a decade long contract to manage the debt-laden hospital system for healthcare. It was the first time when the government had sanctioned any of the prior healthcare institution to new one. There have been documented failures of some parts of the National Health Service to provide adequate care at a basic level. These failures were associated with bureaucratic fumbling as local institutions attempted to meet conflicting demands with inadequate resources. Before this, healthcare in UK was generally available only to the wealthy, unless one was able to obtain free treatment through charity or teaching hospitals. In 1911 the National Insurance Act was introduced, in which a small amount was deducted from an employee's wage and in return they were entitled to free healthcare. However this scheme only gave healthcare entitlement to employed individuals. But war changes people and the world around it, obviously healthcare was no exception and an endeavor was undertaken to launch a public healthcare system in which services were provided free at the point of need, services were financed from central taxation and everyone was eligible for care. A basic tripartite system was formed splitting the service into hospital services, primary care (General Practitioners) and Community Services. By 1974 concerns over problems caused by the separation of the three primary areas of care had grown, so a drastic reorganization effort was made which allowed local authorities to support all three areas of care. The Thatcher years saw a restructuring of the management system, and in 1990 the National Health Service and Community Care Act was passed, which set up independent Trusts that managed hospital care. Continued reformation has occurred since the time of the Blair government, including the formation of NHS Direct, which aimed to improve healthcare standards and lower costs and waiting times. In the 1990s, the UK government put into effect one of the most significant changes for the NHS in recent times by creating the internal market. Doctors must now be part of the internal market (later, the NHS Trust) to be able to compete for patients. These markets were independent organizations that were individually managed and that competed with each other. It started with 57 trusts and by the mid 90s all healthcare in the UK was provided through these trusts. In 1998, UK instituted the NHS Plan, which helped modernize the NHS. Up until this point, the NHS was operating using a 1940s system in a 21st century era which revolutionized the way healthcare system was operated and didn't cause much problem to the general community. It was very much resourceful and well operated by skilled professionals constantly trying to maintain a healthy community and trying to reach aspiring goals.
Healthcare in England is mainly provided by England's public health service, the National Health Service, that provides healthcare to all permanent residents of the United Kingdom that is free at the point of use and paid for from general taxation. Since health is a devolved matter, there are differences with the provisions for healthcare elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Though the public system dominates healthcare provision in England, private health care and a wide variety of alternative and complementary treatments are available for those willing to pay. Nearly all hospital doctors and nurses in England are employed by the NHS and work in NHS-run hospitals, with teams of more junior hospital doctors (most of whom are in training) being led by consultants, each of whom is trained to provide expert advice and treatment within a specific speciality. The United Kingdom's health care system is one of the most efficient in the world, according to a study of seven industrialized countries. The Commonwealth Fund report looked at five areas of performance, quality, efficiency, access to care, equity and healthy lives, The Netherlands ranked first overall, closely followed by the United Kingdom and Australia. United Kingdom performed well when it came to quality of care and access to care. The United Kingdom also ranked first in efficiency, which was measured by examining total national spending on healthcare as a percentage of GDP, as well as the amount spent on healthcare administration and insurance. The United Kingdom has relatively short waiting times for basic medical care and non-emergency access to services after hours. Healthcare in the United Kingdom is publicly funded, generally paid for by taxation. However, the United Kingdom also has a private healthcare sector, in which healthcare is acquired by means of private health insurance. This is typically funded as part of an employer funded healthcare scheme or is paid directly by the customer. Private healthcare has continued to exist, paid for largely by private insurance
People who work in the medical field need to interact with patients, their families, doctors and other members of the healthcare team. They have to listen carefully, understand what the other person is saying, seek clarification where necessary and give instructions in a clear and kind tone without losing patience if patients don't understand something the first time it is told. They should also be discrete and not disclose any confidential patient information unless authorized to do so. They should also possess the ability to stay calm in high pressure situations, such as during a very intense and heated situation. When dealing with patients and their diseases, many situations deviate from the expected pattern. To deal with these situations, people working in healthcare need an ability to think calmly and thoroughly even under duress. They require the ability to gather information, identify what is most relevant, consider all available options and select the solution that is in the patient's best interest. Problem solving in the medical field may sometimes even involve finding creative answers to unexpected circumstances by courageously taking calculated risks. Having a keen sense or attention to detail has also become an important and will always remain an important skills to have. Whether it is the instruments used in diagnosis and treatment of patients or the electronic health record systems themselves, the medical field is becoming increasingly dependent on technology. Computers today perform many jobs that were previously done manually. Workers in the medical field therefore need to be familiar with computer operations and the software used for particular applications such as monitoring patient progress, maintaining their health records and other administrative functions. Having or engaging situations or patients with the required sense of empathy and and approachable nature while having a great personality is very essential in bringing the change within a person's emotional state and at the same time improving their medical condition as well. The individuals must also possess the tenacity and innate ability to work with a team and as a team for whatever the condition may be. For many graduate healthcare careers, including medicine, nursing, midwifery and allied healthcare, you must be a registered healthcare professional. You'll need a relevantly approved and appropriate degree to register with a professional body to work in these roles requiring that particular skill set.
We are consistently aiming for individuals to achieve their goals and do so by helping these individuals to meet prominent recruiters in the relevant fields depending on what they are seeking. We can ensure that individuals will be getting jobs based on their individual merits and credibility as well as ensuring that job recruiters are presented with the resumes best suited in their interest. Our main agenda is to get individuals the exposure they need which they otherwise wouldn't have, we try to make sure that the individuals are seen within the industry by the companies that they are interested to work in and in doing so we expect that their potential will be picked up by these companies. Reaching out to companies within the major cities of U.K is one of the ideals we wish to pursue and hope that our endeavors bring out the prosperity that many of the individuals seek.

[ FreeCourseWeb.com ] Celestina and the Human Condition in Early Modern Spain and Italy
2017 | ISBN: 185566318X | English | 234 pages | PDF | 8 MB
Winner of the 2015 Publication Prize awarded by the Association of Hispanists of Great Britain and Ireland Celestina by Fernando de Rojas is a canonical work of late medieval Spanish literature and one of the earliest European -best-sellers-. However, while we have clear evidence of its popularity and influence due to detailed research on its print history and editions, we have not adequately answered the question of precisely why it continued to hold such appeal for early modern audiences. This book explores Celestina 's role as a key interlocutor in European literature and thought. Taking an ideological and comparative approach that focuses on Celestina's reception in sixteenth-century Spain and Italy, it reads Rojas's work against a network of texts that were translated, printed, and circulated concurrently in both Peninsulas yet which have not previously been examined in depth or detail alongside it. The study argues that that Celestina continued to be meaningful because it engaged with one of the period's defining preoccupations: namely the human condition, an idea often conceptualised in pro et contra debates about the misery and dignity of man. Rachel Scott is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at King's College London specialising in late medieval and early modern Spanish literature and culture.

Home | Our Company
GENERAL CONSTRUCTIONS COMPANY LIMITED was originally founded in 1947 and was one of the first construction companies to be registered in Cyprus. Although the Cyprus construction industry in those early days was very much in its infancy, the Company quickly became established as a serious and progressive organisation.
General Constructions Company Limited started out as a leader in its field and since that time has maintained its position as one of the largest and leading building organisations in its own area of operations, by a progressive and well-planned policy of expansion, which has kept pace with the progress in the Building Industry generally and with the changes from a craft-based industry to one based on engineering science and modern building technology. Today it is acknowledged as one of the Pioneers of the Building Industry in Cyprus – a title which was achieved through the Company's integrity, reliability and professionalism throughout the years.
An active and open-minded management has pursued a policy of employing professionally qualified personnel in the field of architecture, civil engineering, quantity surveying and others, to promote the efficiency and professional ability of the company. With this highly professional type of organisation, the management has rapidly been able to promote the adoption of the most up-to-date developments in construction techniques and so create the company which is today a leader in its field as an efficient and modern building and civil engineering organisation.
The spirit of "team work" has been among the principles promoted by GCC and has resulted in GCC being one of the biggest contractors in the private sector in Cyprus where the price is not the main proviso in awarding projects.

Together with an efficient and up-to-date approach to construction technology, GCC has also set out to become as independent as possible, in terms of plant and machinery.
Today the company owns all the necessary plant and equipment for projects which are in hand, as well as having a considerable reserve of modern machinery which can be immediately called upon for new contracts or as replacements for machinery now in operation.
During its long history, GCC has been responsible for the execution of a considerable number of significant projects which are now recognised as landmarks in Cyprus, including large-scale works for the Cyprus Government, the British Sovereign Bases in Cyprus and other large authorities, as well as for substantial private concerns.
The wide range and variety of developments executed by the Company, include historical buildings such as the Nicosia Municipality Theatre, the original Ledra Palace Hotel and Forest Park Hotel, the Nicosia International Airport, the Levention Museum, high-tech buildings, schools, factories, bank premises, hotels, airport technical buildings and hangars, road works, commercial and tourist developments, irrigation works, grain silos, private houses etc.
Apart from its operations in Cyprus, the Company established operations in Saudi Arabia over 35 years ago under the name of SAUDI CYPRIAN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY LTD. and has been operating successfully in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ever since. Please visit http://www.sccsa.com
Today, the Company is continuing to grow, has several large Construction, BOT and Development Projects in hand.
GCC is in the process of entering the Bahrain, Oman and Qatar markets.
The motto of the Company is "Quality First" and thus to be able to look at its Projects 60 years down the line and be proud that they were built by GCC.
LEADERSHIP THROUGH
RELIABILITY, INTEGRITY
AND PROFESSIONALISM

This Scottish typecase configuration matches that of Savage: A Dictionary of the Art of Printing (1841). Although Savage shows the case partitioned into two equal bays, as here, Chambers Encyclopaedia (1891), Stephenson, Blake & Co: Printing Material & Machinery (1922), and Caslon: Printing Types & Material (1925) show the Scotch Lower partitioned into four bays.
Note the sixth and seventh boxes from left in the top row (above the i box), which are only one box in the standard English Lower, but are also divided into two boxes in U.S.Lower cases. However, the Scottish case also has an undivided box above the c and d boxes, and does not divide the box next to the l box. Also, it does subdivide the normal , and w boxes. Overall, there are still 53 boxes in the case. The lay of the type can be seen as Scottish Lower.
