Hey Book Lovers! Today I would like to highlight Emilie Knight's first novel Era of Undying. Please check out book details and excerpt below.
Era of Undying by Emilie Knight
Genre: Fantasy / Supernatural
There hasn't been a Blood Warrior for decades. Everyone assumed they were extinct and couldn't return. Turns out they were just in hiding. Pen chose to revert back to her nomadic life after the death of her family. Life was always safer that way, away from people. Now she's been caught and odd occurrences have been happening in Ichorisis. People are surviving horrible injuries and illnesses that they shouldn't be. Now that Pen is under custody of one of the several kings she's been sent to fix the problem. Whether she wants to or not.

Excerpt (prologue)
The night was warm, though clouds hung heavily, obscuring the moonlight over the countryside of Ichorisis. The pleasant weather made the small caravan of travelers settle down early by the fire. There were maybe a dozen people in the caravan, so one could easily assume they were just a family of merchants. One aspect that contradicted that idea was how little the group was carrying. Pen had been watching them long enough to know that once anything of value came into their hands, it was quickly sold or hidden away. She had been following them for a while and learned that they hid the most valuables items in a small lock box tied to the leader's horse.
The leader of the caravan was close to the fire, carving into a boar. His arms were painted crimson past his elbows. Everyone else was strewn about doing various tasks, but most of them were sitting lazily by the fire, listening to a short man with scar tissue covering his left arm tell a hunting story. Soon afterwards when the boar was cooked, they all ate and talked and laughed. When most of the boar was gone they settled down for sleep leaving the half-eaten carcass over the coals. The leader had eaten with gore still on his hands but had washed up in the nearby creek before using a saddlebag as a pillow. Two of them stayed awake to keep watch. One stayed by the horses, while the other walked around their makeshift perimeter. Neither saw Pen crouched behind the thorn bush.
Silently, she crept out from the bush to follow the man behind the tree line. He kept the caravan in sight but wandered a good distance into the trees. She wondered what he was doing; he wasn't patrolling. He walked aimlessly, then stopped. She heard running water then realized he was relieving himself. He was clearly relaxed and sensed no danger. She picked up a rock and threw it. It thunked against a tree and fell into a bush. The man glanced toward the rustling noise but dismissed it. She almost felt bad at how easy this would be. Then her stomach growled. Gritting her teeth and clenching her stomach muscles, she stifled the noise, but her nerve wavered. Her last proper meal had been three days ago. Doing her best to ignore the hunger pains, she gripped her knife. As the man was arranging his trousers, she stood behind him and struck.
One of Pen's hands covered his mouth first, catching him off guard. He grunted in surprise, but the blade across his throat silenced him quickly. He panicked and buckled as his life pulsed from his throat, but she kept her hold. He was heavy, but she managed to ease him to the ground in near silence. No one moved in the camp, and no one heard their friend die. It took a moment for the blood to finish flowing out, and she cringed when he coughed more over her hand. It wasn't the first time she'd felt that much blood, of course, and it was by no means the last; it had to be done. She wiped her hand and knife on the dead man's woolen tunic, then turned back to the shadows.
Keeping low, avoiding the dry twigs, she made it around the camp to where the horses were tethered. The other man was leaning against a tree, flask in hand. He was closer to the camp, so she couldn't kill him without exposing herself or spooking the horses. She didn't want to risk sneaking closer to the horses and the strongbox — he was beside the leader's horse. She hid behind a thick oak tree and searched around for a dry stick on the ground. She stepped down hard. It made a crisp snap in the silence.
The man looked up and gazed into the darkness in her direction. Pen darted from one tree to another and crouched under the pine branches. He saw her. Stepping away from his tree, he peered into the forest and came closer. He glanced at his companions, then back at the trees. He put the flask away and unsheathed his sword silently, presumably so as not to alarm the others, and then approached her hiding place. He passed her, then paused. Her heart was in her throat. She prayed he wouldn't shout.
"Who's there?" he called.
It wasn't enough to wake the camp, thankfully. The man grumbled "rabbit", sheathed his sword, and turned back. He passed her again, and she slipped out of hiding to stand behind him. She must be quick and silent: she stabbed the knife into his ear. She used too much force, though, and he hit a maple tree while falling, rattling the branches. He was dead, at least.
She took a breath, forcing her heart rate to slow. She saw no sign of anyone stirring in the camp, so she approached the horses again. The leader of the caravan might have been sleeping on his saddlebags, but the lockbox was attached directly to the horse's saddle, hidden under leather. He probably thought it was safer because it was unexpected. The lockbox was strapped to the saddle, with two locks on the straps themselves. Luckily, the dozing horse provided a little cover, but Pen was still within the ring of firelight, and her legs were exposed. She took out her lock-picking pins and went to work. The second lock gave her a harder time, but both clicked open. The lid of the small box squeaked, but no one noticed. Inside was a silver pendant with a ruby on a thin chain, and a gold ring. Their price could buy her food for at least a week.
A twig snapped behind her.
She spun with knife in hand, but pain erupted in her head and everything went black.
She was on the ground when she came to with a splitting headache. Panic grabbed hold of her when she realized she couldn't move. Her hands were tied behind her back, and her feet were bound too. The panic nearly won when she realized she was by the fire, with the entire camp surrounding her.
"I'll admit I didn't take you for a woman at first."
The leader stood over her with his arms crossed. He was a big man with thick black hair and beard.
She shifted to her knees, which was awkward with her hands tied, but she managed. Her vision was blurred from the blow, but it was clearing. There were eleven men and women standing around her — three of them behind her — and one small figure sitting by a tree behind the leader.
"You even killed two of my best fighters," the leader said casually, as though this were an everyday conversation.
"Even the best can get lazy and ignore the shadows." She couldn't feel warmth spreading from where she was struck so she didn't think she was bleeding; there would probably be a good bruise later. She started twisting her wrist into the rope.
"Let's just kill her. She murdered Belos!" said a skinny man holding a bow.
"And Hason," a woman added.
The rest of the followers muttered in agreement.
The leader raised a hand and they stopped grumbling.
"Not until we've had a little chat," the leader said. He knelt before Pen. "Did anyone send you?" His voice made her want to shiver despite the fire's warmth.
She looked him directly in the eye. "No."
"Are you alone?"
"No," she lied. She wasn't sure if he believed her. He had a good face for gambling.
"What are you doing with your arm?" He sounded intrigued but not entirely distracted.
"Escaping."
He laughed.
She felt her wrist sting, then blood trickled down her hand.
He chuckled and stood. "I honestly don't know if I want to kill you or let you join us."
"She murdered Belos!" the skinny man yelled again.
"I know he was your brother, and I will mourn him too." His steely voice made the other man look away. "She struck silently, and that could be useful. But considering I don't let anyone already in kill a member without due punishment, I can't just let in someone who did kill a member. Killing her would be safer and easier."
"She's pretty, though, sir," a burly man said. "Can we play with her first?"
"Normally I wouldn't care, but she's proven to be an efficient assassin. I don't think—"
She willed her blood to rise. Sensing there the three stood behind her she shot her blood toward them, striking two in the throat and one in the eye. At the same moment she hardened it into a blade to cut the ropes. As the first three fell gurgling and screaming, she stood to face the others, snaking the strings of blood around so it floated in front of her.
All of her opponents had drawn their weapons, but now they froze. Three tendrils of solid blood floated several feet from her wrist, sharpened to points facing the bandits.
Staying calm was a challenge, but she managed it. Panic would cloud her thoughts and thin her blood.
"I don't believe it," one man muttered.
"M'lady," the leader said. One of his hands held an axe, but he raised the other to show peace. "No one else needs to die tonight. You can walk away, and no one here will repeat what happened."
"Rumors spread like wildfire," Pen replied.
"Not this one. You can keep what was in the lockbox, plus anything else I have of value. You can take what you need and go."
"The hell she will!" the skinny man shouted.
He fired an arrow at Pen's heart.
One tendril caught the arrow, twisted it around, and stuck it into his neck. Three more men charged her with swords in hand. Two were pierced through the heart, but the last one was too close. Pen retracted the tendrils and dived under his blade, which was aimed at her head. She changed her blood into a blade and stuck him in the gut. He fell groaning while she stood with a crimson blade in hand.
One woman charged at her with a hammer. Pen killed her with a dodge then a slice to the neck, following through to the next man, lopping off his arm before stabbing him in the chest. Another turned to run, but she extended her sword into a spear and got him in the back. That left the leader, who had stayed back until now. She faced him.
He had his axe at the ready. She considered switching to a sword for speed but kept the spear for distance.
"Damn that Hados, he was always a wild card," he growled. "You're the Blood Warrior."
She stayed quiet.
"If you leave me be, I'll tell no one of this."
"I can't do that." She didn't enjoy killing, but it was necessary. No one could know she existed. Not after what happened to the last Warriors.
"Fine, then." He had no intention of dying.
He stalked to the left. She followed, stepping over a body. He lunged with the axe, but she parried with the spear. His fist flew, catching the side of her face.
Stunned, she staggered back but managed to avoid his next swing. She caught his axe with her spear and pulled him off balance, hitting him over the head with the end of it. Then she melted her spear, changed it into a hammer, and brought it down on the back of his head.
He went down hard but caught himself on his knees. She sharpened her hammer into an axe and embedded it in his skull.
She slumped among the bodies next to the fire, panting, and listened for any movement, tense with anticipation of another attack — but none came. Then she remembered the small figure by the tree. She stood and saw a boy, perhaps ten years old, hiding behind the tree. He was staring at her and trembling.
The boy bolted into the forest. She swore and followed him. The chase only lasted a few minutes before she lost him in the gloom. She cursed louder. The boy would tell people what he saw. Rumors of her existence would spread. Cursing again, she went back to the dead camp.
She cleaned any dirt or blood that was not her own off her axe. Once it was clean, it lost its form and melted back into her wrist. Despondent, she sat by the fire and ate her fill of what was left of the boar. There wasn't much after having been picked over by a dozen people. At least her stomach was full for one more night. She then took a pack and filled it with what food was left, along with the valuables the traveling bandits had hidden on them as well the jewelry from the lockbox.
She took the saddles off all of the horses except the leader's. It looked the strongest; a big gray-and-black-speckled stallion. Hefting the new pack and mounting her new horse, she rode off.

Q: How do I find the value of 10 to the exponent defined by a variable in SQLite I have a column in a table and I want to find the value of 10 to the exponent defined by the values in that column.
e.g. Say, the table is called 'Table 1'. The column is called 'exponent'
Table1
Exponent
3
2
2
4
And i want to perform a mathematical operation that involves
10 ^ table1.exponent
How do I do that?
I've tried -
Power(10, table1.exponent)

But SQLite does not support the power function.
The result would be:
1000
100
100
10000
However, I don't need a table returned. I need to use these in a mathematical equation in the query.

A: Assuming the variable is an integer, how about just using a case expression:
select (case exponent
            when 0 then 1
            when 1 then 10
            when 2 then 100
            when 3 then 1000
            when 4 then 10000
            when 5 then 100000
            when 6 then 1000000
            when 7 then 10000000
            when 8 then 100000000
        end)

Adding a power() function is definitely more versatile, but this might work for your specific need.

Congresswoman Betty McCollum
Representing the 4th District of Minnesota
McCollum, Craig, and Kind Push to Keep Mississippi River Operational for Commercial Navigation
Today, U.S. Reps. Betty McCollum (MN-04), Angie Craig (MN-02), and Ron Kind (WI-03) sent a letter to the Office of Management and Budget pushing for the distribution of $100 million for the Army Corps of Engineers to address the impacts of this spring's devastating floods along the Mississippi River. The funds were included in the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act, and were signed into law by President Trump in June 2019. Those funds have not yet been disbursed so the Army Corps can do their jobs.
Right now, the immediate concern remains keeping the Mississippi River operational for commercial use, which requires additional dredging because of excess sediment build-up this spring. The river is responsible for one-sixth of the nation's intercity cargo and 25% of foreign exports.
"The Inland Waterway System is the transportation artery of the heartland. If this vital segment of the Mississippi River is not maintained to its fully authorized width and depth, the nation's agricultural community will face severe economic consequences in a year of already troublesome market and weather conditions. Congress and the Administration must take decisive action to restore the reliability of one of our great nation's key trade corridors," said Reps. McCollum, Craig, and Kind in the letter.
A copy of the letter to OMB can be found below.
Dear Acting Administrator Vought:
It has come to our attention that segments of the Inland Waterway System are still experiencing high levels of sediment shoaling from receding flood waters. As a result, the channel is not completely navigable for the barges transporting goods to domestic and international markets. In some areas, only one barge is capable of passing, increasing systematic delays that are already being felt.
Furthermore, we have been informed that the Army Corps of Engineers Rock Island District has been conducting emergency dredging to carry out its mission to keep the channel navigable. However, the Corps recently anticipated that the Dredge Goetz would need to cease operations due to insufficient capital remaining after a challenging fiscal year of extensive natural disasters. Although the USACE Mississippi Valley Division and St. Paul District were able to shift funds to Rock Island District for a short-term fix, we collectively seek a long-term and proactive solution.
The U.S. House of Representatives successfully passed H.R. 2157 – Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act, 2019 on May 10, 2019. This legislation allotted $100 million for the Army Corps of Engineers to address record flooding on the Mississippi that destroyed towns, farms, homes in addition to delaying the navigation season by 85 days. Since the Act was signed by President Trump on June 11, 2019, the emergency funds have yet to be distributed. Meanwhile, the viability of our commercial system is now on the verge of a crisis.
We are inquiring about the status of the supplemental funding and when it will be made available. In the statutory language, the Administration is directed to report to Congress within 60 days on the allocation of the funds from the Operations and Maintenance Account. That report was due no later than August 11, 2019. We urge the Trump Administration and Army Corps of Engineers to act swiftly in allocating long-term funding to reinstate emergency dredging operations. Without this immediate action, over 10 reaches of the Mississippi River in the Rock Island District alone are in danger of closure.
The Inland Waterway System is the transportation artery of the heartland. If this vital segment of the Mississippi River is not maintained to its fully authorized width and depth, the nation's agricultural community will face severe economic consequences in a year of already troublesome market and weather conditions. Congress and the Administration must take decisive action to restore the reliability of one of our great nation's key trade corridors.
We look forward to your timely response.

Union leaders told reporters they were frustrated with failed talks over the weekend aimed at reaching a deal. Union president Henry Roman said teachers were committed to reaching a deal but said that both sides needed a cooling off period. Another negotiation session is expected to take place on Tuesday.
Do you think the teachers are right to go on strike?

Stutzen bezeichnet das Beschneiden der Schwungfedern von Vögeln, um ihnen die Flugfähigkeit zu nehmen oder diese abzusenken. Das Flügelstutzen ist bei domestizierten, als Heimtier oder in Zoos gehaltenen Vögeln etablierte Praxis. Es soll die Flucht und das Verletzungsrisiko durch Fliegen in beschränktem Raum verhindern oder die Zähmung begünstigen. Da in den Federn keine Nervenenden liegen, verursacht diese Prozedur bei fachgemäßer Anwendung keine physischen Schmerzen.

Stutzen ist nicht mit irreversiblen Eingriffen zu verwechseln, wie z. B. der chirurgischen Entfernung oder Laser-Zerstörung der Follikel (Wachstumszonen der Federn am Knochen).

Methode
Es werden gewöhnlich an beiden Flügeln die identische Anzahl an Schwungfedern beschnitten. Bei Hühnern und Enten genügt meist einseitiges Stutzen, da diese Vögel von Natur aus schlechte Flieger sind. Um das Risiko durch Fälle zu minimieren, empfiehlt es sich, nur wenige Federn zu beschneiden. Bei weiterhin zu großer Flugfähigkeit können weitere Federn beschnitten werden.

Um die Flugfähigkeit dauerhaft zu begrenzen, muss die Prozedur nach jeder Mauser wiederholt werden. Dabei ist zu beachten, dass die zu beschneidenden Federn ausgewachsen und nicht mehr durchblutet sind, da ansonsten der Vogel sterben könnte.

Kritik
Einige Tierrechtsorganisationen kritisieren das Stutzen als Tierquälerei, da es die natürliche Lebensweise behindere und durch die jährlich notwendige Wiederholung zu Stress bei den Tieren führe.

Alternative
Eine ebenfalls reversible Methode ist das Anlegen von Flügelklammern.

With high blood pressure affecting a large percentage of the population, medications are commonly used. There are some, however, who believe a more natural therapy can be found by using herbs for high blood pressure.
The idea of using herbs for high blood pressure is not new and has been around for several years, as has the thoughts of using botanicals. Crataegus oxyacantha (Hawthorn) is said to dilate blood vessels and block angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) which is a blood-restricting enzyme.
Other herbs for high blood pressure also perform other duties. It has been claimed that passiflora incarnate has a calming effect and also relaxes blood vessels, reducing blood pressure. Guelder rose bark is another of the herbs for high blood pressure is said to relax the entire cardiovascular system, reducing blood pressure.
Despite all the herbs for high blood pressure, all herbalists also stress the need for lifestyle changes as well. Nicotine intake needs to be vastly reduced or eliminated once diagnosed with high blood pressure, as the drug will constrict the blood vessels. This reduction in size forces the heart to work harder and if the vessels are weakened in any way, could cause them to burst.
Exercise will not only help a person lose weight, if combined with the proper diet, it is also good for the heart. The right exercise will strengthen the heart muscle as well as the blood vessels, making them stronger and more pliable to withstand the stress of high blood pressure. In addition to taking herbs for high blood pressure, diet and exercise needs to be part of the solution.
While many contend that caffeine produces a temporary increase in blood pressure, many physicians as well as naturalists, suggest eliminating it as well as it can counteract drugs or herbs for high blood pressure being used to dilate the blood vessels. A healthy diet and exercise is also recommended as part of the use of herbs for high blood pressure.
One of the oldest herb known, Ginkgo Biloba, has been around for centuries and has shown remarkable effects on blood pressure. It is known to relax blood vessels and stimulate the circulatory system. It is also used to allow blood to flow more freely by reducing the ability of the blood to clot. As one of the herbs for high blood pressure, it is probably one of the most widely recognized.

31 Oct 2013

### SECURITY UPDATES IN 2.2.5

An issue with `Zend\Http\PhpEnvironment\RemoteAddress` was reported in
[#5374](https://github.com/zendframework/zf2/pull/5374). Essentially, the class
was not checking if `$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']` was one of the trusted proxies
configured, and as a result, `getIpAddressFromProxy()` could return an untrusted
IP address.

The class was updated to check if `$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']` is in the list of
trusted proxies, and, if so, will return that value immediately before
consulting the values in the `X-Forwarded-For` header.

If you use the `RemoteAddr` `Zend\Session` validator, and are configuring
trusted proxies, we recommend updating to 2.2.5 or later immediately.

### UPDATES IN 2.2.5

- [#5343](https://github.com/zendframework/zf2/pull/5343) removed the
  DateTimeFormatter filter from DateTime form elements. This was done
  due to the fact that it led to unexpected behavior when non-date inputs were
  provided. However, since the DateTime element already incorporates a
  DateValidator that accepts a date format, validation can still work as
  expected.

Please see [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md).

### SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Zend Framework 2 requires PHP 5.3.3 or later; we recommend using the
latest PHP version whenever possible.

### INSTALLATION

Please see [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md).

### CONTRIBUTING

If you wish to contribute to Zend Framework, please read both the

It is probably was the most Buffalo way to welcome Spring to Western New York outside of filling the swimming pool with Blue Cheese.
As we are now officially in Spring 2019, Buffalo is welcoming the new season with the same old same old...snow.
It looks like we could see anywhere between 1-5 inches of snow on Friday depending on where you live in Western New York.
The good news is that the sun will be out over the weekend and with a bit of a warm up with a high near 50 on Sunday.....then most possible snow is on the way on Monday!


16oz (454g) pouch of Ready-to-Eat Wild Smoked Pink Pacific Salmon. Buy Fully cooked, boneless, fillet of wild pink salmon that's been smoked with alder wood.
Bought to compare to sockeye. Good but not as good as the sockeye salmon.
If someone likes the fish fully cooked.
I would recommend, it is very tasty and juicy.


Designed to work flawlessly with the Youth 180 line of affordable performance gear. The Kids Dirtpaw takes glove function and style to the front. Built with a lightly padded palm and using Lycra channels along the fingers for comfort and dexterity.


Hello! While the idea of implementing a community content-editing platform is being considered, it's not going to be in the near future.
For the meantime, any possible improvements to the text content, especially by the way of adding some fancy adjectives, can be suggested here!
Here are my notes on chapter 1. I hope they're helpful.
In Chapter 1: Mythos overview – "Over millenia, the keepers yield in to a number of vices" should be changed to "Over millenia, the keepers yield to a number of vices" without the extraneous "in".
Fifth bullet point: "No matter how many demons Sargeras killed, they would seem to respawn in the Nether, so he decided to banish them all into a confind prison he named Mardum." should be changed to "No matter how many demons Sargeras killed, they would seem to respawn in the Nether, so he decided to banish them all into a prison he named Mardum." There is no need for an extraneous word there (confined).
Second bullet point: I recommend changing it to "Ragnaros the Firelord, Therazane the Stonemother, Al'Akir the Windlord and Neptulon the Tidehunter had fought each other with the armies of their elemental children for the conquest of Azeroth for millenia." The way it reads currently sounds like the four elemental lords are fighting their own armies.
Thirteenth bullet point: "Keeper Freya crafted linked Azeroth to the Emerald Dream" should be changed to either "Keeper Freya linked Azeroth to the Emerald Dream" or "Keeper Freya crafted a link Azeroth to the Emerald Dream" depending on what you're going for with this sentence.
Third bullet point: I have no idea what this is trying to say after the first comma. The Winterskorn succumbing to the curse of flesh is the first part, and then what?
Fourth bullet point: "earthern" should be "earthen". "seeked" should be "sought".
Thank you, Kithalt. The first thing I'll be doing now is running everything through a spell-checker. You make me wonder why I haven't done it in the past.
Many of the mistakes you pointed out though are in my basic usage of English language. Makes me sad to think that non-native speakers will always face limitations, but that only emphasizes on the importance of what you did there. Perhaps a Wiki-like editing platform would be even better. I'll think more about that.


*sings* Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear SooLing, happy birthday to you!! I left you a little something on your page too!
We're all thinking of you today, SooLing! A big happy birthday!
Thanks, everyone, for the birthday greetings and all those treats and Rosettes! I'm ready to really start celebrating. Where's the food? I requested Long John Silver's fish and cheesecake - yum. Anyone else have a favorite they want to include? My sister Scooter mentioned the party in her diary today and even put a picture of my last birthday on earth on her page. Let's start the party!
PURRRRS!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday, lovely SooLing Happy Birthday to you! Mom said she would bake us a big cake for the celebration. What flavor do you like, SooLing? We will see you at the party.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! SooLing I just happen to have some vanilla suckers left over from the holidays. Mom makes them herself. They were my favorite when I was on earth. I will bring them and meet everyone at the party. Best wishes for a Happy Birthday at the Rainbow Bridge, SooLing!
Oh, Sassy and Pepper, I love vanilla and just about any flavor cake. I never tasted chocolate, of course -- I tried, but I never succeeded. I really love the cake part of blueberry muffins, so that\'s a good flavor, too. Anything! Anything is great. Thank you. Thanks for the Rosette, too. I\'ve never had so many Rosettes! And treats! I have several new friends, too. Thanks to all of you.
Happy Birthday to our dear friend SooLing! Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you!
Oh boy did I hear cheesecake? *drools* Where, where, where??
I think the blueberry cheesecake is all gone Sampson, but somecat heard that SooLing likes Long John Silver's fish and brought a fish cheesecake. Would you like a slice?
Yes please! I've never tried a fish cheesecake before but it sounds yummy *smiles* SooLing has good taste!
Well, it looks the celebration is winding down... time to sleep off all the sweets and catnip we indulged in. Thank you everyone for attending my party in honor of SooLing\'s birthday... it was a lot of fun! Special thanks to Gremlin, Sassy and Pepper for bringing the delicious cakes and suckers *licking lips* Happy Birthday SooLing... I hope you had a wonderful day!
I did have a wonderful day, Baby. Thanks for arranging it. Thanks to everyone for making it so special. Sorry I dozed off for a while -- too much cheesecake! Sure was good though. Goodnight! Thank you.
A little late but nonetheless . . . HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU!!! Lots of love & best wishes from me & my family.

MTV News has confirmed the 'Adorn' singer was arrested in L.A. Thursday morning.
"Adorn" singer Miguel was arrested on a DUI charge on Thursday (August 15), MTV News has confirmed.
Police officials tell us that the singer was initially pulled over for speeding in the L.A. area at 2:15 a.m. but later was booked on a DUI charge and he failed a breathalyzer test. A rep for the singer has not responded to MTV News' request for comment as of press time.
According to an initial report, the singer was driving his 2013 BMW X6 when he was pulled over for speeding and tinted windows before he underwent several field sobriety tests, during which he blew a .10 and .11. The legal limit in California is .08. He reportedly was booked and released on $5,000 bail. He's due back in court in September.
The VMA nominee, born Miguel Jontel Pimentel, made waves with his 2012 album Kaleidoscope Dream, which spawned hits like "Adorn," "Do You" and "How Many Drinks." Earlier this summer he hooked up with Mariah Carey on her track, "#Beautiful."
Miguel made headlines in May after he kicked a fan, Khyati Shah, in the head during his performance at the Billboard Music Awards. "In the first night, I'll tell you, that night I couldn't sleep. I was worried about the girl, obviously. And wanting her to be OK, and that's what she told me, she was OK. I was comforted by that," he said after the incident. "But then, obviously, you never want to make mistakes on camera, in front of millions of people, on live television. But at the same time, the next day, it was OK.
"I started to deal with it, and laugh with it and roll with the punches, and that's all you can do," he added. "We're human ... everyone has had a moment like that in some way. It's just that mine was on television."

Amy Wanggaard Hausmann '86
"Art provides a new way of seeing and experiencing the world."
"Former Kent Place art teacher Ingrid Edwards was instrumental in teaching me to see and think in new ways. Her lessons in the painting studio and art history classroom, combined with our visits to galleries and museums, inspired my love for art and taught me the impact it makes on individuals and the world. Her encouragement led to my nearly 30-year career in the arts.
"As a curator of public art in the New York City mass transit system, our team of professionals at MTA Arts & Design introduces world-class art, poetry and music to more than 8.5 million people each day, serving as a clear counterpoint to the blur of hustle and hurry that is a fact of daily city life.
"We recently installed artwork as part of the new Second Avenue Subway at 72nd Street. Artist Vik Muniz created 'Perfect Strangers,' which features 40 life-sized, colorful mosaics depicting a wide range of New York characters. Commuter Sumana Harihareswara, an Indian-American, was brought to tears when she saw the portrait of a South Asian woman wearing a traditional sari and was quoted as saying, 'There is no feeling quite like seeing yourself cemented into the infrastructure of New York. It lets me know that my city loves me.'
"Each time I talk with an artist or work with our team to plan new projects, I refer to the lessons I learned at Kent Place: Art provides an opportunity to alter the trajectory of a day. Art has the power to surprise and delight, to change a mood, to make a connection and to create a new way of seeing and experiencing the world."

HMRC Enquiry Centres Closing
HMRC Enquiry Centres to be replaced with home visits
HMRC are set to pilot a new support service that will provide mobile, one-to-one support for customers who require assistance with their tax affairs.
The service will be piloted in the North East of England, for five months, from June this year. The service is designed to replace HMRC Enquiry Centres and will provide expert advisers who can visit an individual, in a convenient location, to help them with tax–related issues. Alongside this new service HMRC are also making more funding and support available for voluntary sector organisations to help them to deal with customers who visit them for help with their tax affairs.
The new scheme is expected to save customers almost £12million a year in lost time and travel costs for customers and will be more than £13million a year cheaper to run for HMRC than the current Enquiry Centres are.
Lin Homer, HMRC's Chief Executive, said:
"HMRC is dedicated to providing help to customers who need it. This new service will enable us to tailor that help in a way that works better for customers and is more flexible and affordable than the service we currently provide."
"We will give a more specialised phone service for customers whose affairs can be resolved over the telephone, and face-to-face help to those who need it, visiting them at a place convenient to them, saving them both travel and time. HMRC will provide a more modern and accessible service that will target the right support to customers who need it, where and when they want it."
HMRC has stated that the majority of their customers never use the Enquiry Centres, instead choosing to use online or telephone services when help is required.
HMRC has promised that everything possible will be done to redeploy Enquiry Centre Staff within the organisation.

Q: jQuery Chosen plugin customization I am trying to use the Chosen plugin
I am using select element options with .
I am using this for displaying timezone names by country names.
The country name as optgroup label and timezone name as options
My issues:

*

*How to make the search work on optgroup labels also (not just on options)

*How to change hover background color of option?

Thank you.

A: You can update the highlighted class in chosen.css as below:
.chosen-container .chosen-results li.highlighted {
  background-color: #F26655;
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, 50% 0%, 50% 100%, color-stop(20%, #F26655), color-stop(90%, #2a62bc));
  background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(#F26655 20%, #F26655 90%);
  background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(#F26655 20%, #F26655 90%);
  background-image: -o-linear-gradient(#F26655 20%, #F26655 90%);
  background-image: linear-gradient(#F26655 20%, #F26655 90%);
  color: #fff;
}

In my version this class was at line# 174.
For example #F26655 is your desired color.


The Regna Lounge had been transformed into a lively networking space. A photo area was set up for guests to take group shots with light-up wands. A large whiteboard stood, inviting anyone to write a response to the question, "What empowers you?" And people of all age groups, from adult professionals to Girl Scouts, mingled over cookies and punch.
This was the fourth annual Women in Engineering Summit: Invent/Empower. Held over three days, the summit highlighted the accomplishments of women engineers, entrepreneurs, and professionals who have made big impacts in their fields. Instead of merely mentioning the positive aspects of their careers, however, the talks often got into the hiccups and bumps that occurred along the way. Lyndsey Scott, the summit's opening keynote speaker, especially made this bumpy road toward success poignant.
Scott, a developer who created such iOS apps as iPort, Cool Made Cool, and Squarify, among others, also works as a model and actress. As a college student at Amherst, she dual-majored in theater and computer science, and, while she had a gift for programming, felt more of an affinity to modeling and acting. Scott's persistence paid off and she was the first African-American model to land the Calvin Klein exclusive during fashion week. Other big fashion labels and campaigns followed.
At one point, however, the modeling jobs began to wane, and Scott instead turned to programming and coding while retaining her modeling career part-time. Many opinions came Scott's way about how she was handling her own career—that she should devote her time entirely to tech and to ditch the modeling altogether. "In a way, I feel sorry for anyone who automatically assumes that I'm not a real programmer just because I'm not a stereotypical programmer," Scott mused.
As an active member of stackoverflow, a question/answer community of programmers, Scott came across firsthand examples of sexism in tech: "I learned the hard way that if you're in a boy's club and you make a mistake, the attacks are directed on your femininity." She had posted an answer with a mistake in it, and other male members coupled her incorrect answer with her femaleness. Scott eventually clawed her way to the top of the site, becoming the highest rated user. She maintains, however, that the point is not for women and minorities to be pushed to be the best—the point is that they should be allowed to not be the absolute best while still being taken seriously.
Another event held at the symposium—Lightning Talks—comprised ten-minute lectures in quick succession by three women creators. These gave the guests a taste of the varied work of each lecturer. In one talk, Anne-Laure Fayard, professor in the Department of Technology Management and Innovation at the School of Engineering, discussed her work reinventing and digitizing antiquated air traffic control systems, as well as her tech-humanitarian work with SMSanté, an SMS system in African countries used to track the spread of Ebola, and the Bindi Project, a program that offers entrepreneurial women living in slums the means to build an infrastructure and community.
The third Lightning Talk speaker, Dana Karwas, is a lecturer in the Department of Technology, Culture, and Society at the School of Engineering. She is also co-director of The Satellite —a project that combines art, tech, and science. Instead of merely rendering images of Earth, The Satellite is intended to be a hyperrealistic visualization of the planet that updates in real time as an art installation. The project uses live data from the hundreds of satellites circumnavigating Earth, requires the building of a particle system and a way to generate real-time 3D clouds, and will have a specially-built viewing chamber made that is able to output images at an ultrahigh resolution. The results will, no doubt, be stunning. The possibility of seeing volcanoes erupting as they happen, for example, will be possible with this technology. "You'll be able to see storm patterns way better than on any weather map," Karwas proclaimed. The closing keynote address was delivered by alum, Ruthie Lyle-Cannon, master inventor and first African American Ph.D. to graduate from the Polytechnic, and who has over 100 patents to her name.

Books About The Camino
The Way-Slow Way
Our Half-Speed Camino
We read a number of books about the Camino in preparation. Here are some of the ones we read;
Very good day-to-day route guide:
A Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino de Santiago: St. Jean/Roncesvalles/Santiago (Camino Guides 9th Edition) by John Brierly
This is a great guide, lovely to look at. Unfortunately it is only in paper form.
Planning guides, these are the two best ones we found:
Your Camino by Nilsen, Sylvia, Greg Dedman
— We think the best general guide. It covers everything.
Camino de Santiago: To Walk Far, Carry Less by Jean-Christie Ashmore
— How to eliminate weight
We read a lot of books where people described their experience:
Walk in a Relaxed Manner: Life Lessons from the Camino by Joyce Rupp
— Joyce Rupp is a Catholic nun (very liberal though). More spiritual and inspirational.
I'm Off Then: Losing and Finding Myself on the Camino de Santiago by Hape Kerkeling, Shelley Frisch
— This was a huge best-seller in Germany and inspired huge numbers of Germans to walk the Camino. Kerkeling is a German comedian so he is pretty entertaining. We enjoyed it.
Following the Milky Way: A Pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago by Elyn Aviva
— Elyn Aviva walked the Camino first in 1982. A nice account of the Camino 30 years ago. Coincidentally we met Elyn and her husband Gary last year when we were in Girona, Spain. We struck up a conversation in a supermercado and later had coffee and they showed us their apartment in a lovely old building.
The Best Way by Bill Walker
— Bill Walker walked the Appalachian Trail and then the Pacific Crest Trail and then the Camino (twice). He wrote a book about each one. He is a pretty good writer and his books are fun and interesting.

Fagus Sylvatica: Striking Specimen of a Lengthy and Noble Heritage
ON 20 Sep 2018 BY Mackenzie Rosman
We are excited to shine a spotlight this week on 3 highly distinguished and historically unequaled varieties of Beech, Fagus sylvatica, Fagus sylvatica 'Pendula', and Fagus sylvatica 'Asplenifolia'.
A striking specimen of a lengthy and noble heritage, the European Beech is certainly a sight to behold. If space permits, it will lend an unmatched elegance to any compatible setting. Renowned tree expert Micheal Dirr, describes it as thus: "There is no finer specimen of tree, so beautiful that it overwhelms one at first glance."
Fagus sylvativa, commonly known as the European Beech, is a stately and breathtakingly ornamental specimen. Widely regarded as a native of Southern England, evidence suggests it first made an appearance there around 4,000 B.C. Aptly referred to as Adonis, or the Hercules of European forests, its roots stem from central Europe, southern Norway to Greece, and France to the Caucasus mountains. Though its initial presence in the US is unknown, it appeared in the first decade of the 1800's at the present site of Rockefeller Square in New York City. It has been noted as appearing in a nurseryman's catalogue in 1820, yet the oldest and largest grove can be found in a 2.5 acre public park in Brookline, Massachusetts.
They reach an average full height of 50'-70', and a nearly equal girth at around 40 years of age, though some specimens have been known to soar to heights of up to 100'. Specimens have an average 300 year life span, though some have been aged of up to 500 years. Fagus sylvatica can be difficult to transplant, preferring acidic, moist, sandy, deep, and well drained soil with full sun. It's an excellent shade tree, is deer tolerant, and squirrel friendly. The grey bark is lovely, delicate and thin. Yet, in specimens of advanced age, it develops a distinct texture, not unlike that of elephant hide. Its flowers are monecious, producing edible beechnuts that all creatures great and small have long made use of as a reliable protein source. The husk of beech nuts have a Velcro-like texture, aiding in propagation by attaching to the fur of passing fauna.
The Fagus sylvatica 'Pendula', known familiarly as the Weeping Beech can be distinguished from it's predecessor by it's long, sweeping, willow like fronds. A low maintenance planting, it needs a medium amount of water and though it also likes well-drained soil, it is more soil tolerant than it's American relative, Fagus sylvatica 'Asplenifolia'. Possessing the characteristically delicate, smooth grey bark of the beech, the luxurious sweeping branches have a dramatic downturn, giving it a Pocahantus grandmother willow-like feel.
The Fagus sylvatica 'Asplenifolia' has a lighter grey bark than that of it's European relative. It is faster growing as well, by about 10 years, with a distinctly fern-like appearance. Because of this, underplanting is not recommended. It's large, bush-like appearance, owing to its dense pyramidal growth structure gives it a width that often matches it's height. It is more tolerant of warmer climates and easier to transplant with shallow roots. In line with the family tree, the bright, smooth green leaves mature into a golden yellow in autumn.
All of the species of Beech mentioned herein owe their longstanding countenance and resiliency to their hearty fortitude and resistance to insect and disease problems.
The Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit needs no introduction, and the Fagus sylvatica, Fagus sylvatica 'Aplenifolia', and Fagus sylvatica 'Pendula' have all received it's venerable stamp of approval.

Microsoft Fix ODBC connectivity foul up - LabelDirect Works again!
In October Microsoft released a security update with a twist. The update caused a breakdown in the way data is passed between different software on Microsoft based computer systems. This meant that all our customers with the latest update lost the use of LabelDirect in database mode. This was documented in this post.
Understandably, many customers accused us of being at fault whereas it was, in fact, Microsoft as a result of their security patch. The impact of this change was massive and struck virtually all systems using so-called O.D.B.C.'s (open database connectivity).
It was not just restricted to labelling systems – it affected any system using the database technology that has been a standard since the 1990's!
We were happy to help our customers work around the problem by removing and stopping updates but that was a short-term solution. We also found keeping the database open at the same time as using the database with label direct gave a good short-term fix. However, any fix that relies upon a work-around could have no permanence and would leave customers vulnerable.
We are pleased to confirm that Microsoft has addressed the problem with its latest range of security updates and our advice is to now let Microsoft Updates run on your system and ensure your security patches are up to date. This means you will have the security you need as well as the useability you had before this mess.
If you have disabled your updates, there are a number of ways of reactivating them. This is generally found in the security centre which can be found under the control panel.
In Windows 7, you can go to the Security centre found via the control panel and reactivate your security and windows updates there. This article can show you how to do that.
Alternatively, if you are using Windows 8 you can watch this video which will give you instructions to switch updates back on.
Finally, for Windows 10 users, unless you used the Microsoft "Snap In" to permanently switch the update system off, your system will have updated itself with annoying abandon in any event! If it was the case you successfully switch Windows Update off, you can read this article to see how to re-enable security updates.
Once updates are re-activated, you can let them run. If LabelDirect fails to work again, it will most likely be because all of the updates have not been installed. If this is the case, you may need to manually override the system and force the updates along. Generally, this may require a number of restarts in order for all the updates to become applied.
To find out how to manually apply windows updates for your operating system, just do a google search for "manually apply update windows x" where "x" is your windows version, 7, 8 or 10.

With all the details you have to take care of around the wedding, it's easy to forget that there will be wedding guests who will go to a lot of effort (plus some extra expenses) in order to share this special occasion with you. In most of the cases, out-of-town guests are also family members, so making them feel special using these simple tips will surely not go unnoticed.
The most simple and yet most effective way to impress your out-of-town wedding guests is to provide them with a wedding itinerary. It can be an email that you'll send them after they confirm they'll attend the wedding or a simple website you'll make with the main wedding events and details. Either way, they will thank you for making their life easier by providing details that will help them schedule their trips accordingly. You can also include some travel guide info as many of them will most probably incorporate attending your wedding into a small vacation.
So, your guests have finally arrived at the hotel and they enter the room. Surprise! There is a stylish small gift (perhaps wrapped in the wedding theme colors) waiting for them. What a nice gesture (and a brilliant way to make them feel part of the wedding right from the beginning of their visit)! It can be a gift basket with some maps, the wedding itinerary, some fresh fruit and a personal thank you note from the bride and groom. Set your imagination free – just remember: the more personal you make it, the greater impact it will have on your out-of-town guests.
Your schedule may be full (you have the leading role, after all), but your out-of-town guests will most probably have some free time they won't know how to spend, given the fact that they are in a place they don't know. It's a great idea to reserve a nice restaurant for the evening before the wedding (as most out-of-towners will arrive the day before the wedding). This way you will both make them feel at home and help them get to know other out-of-town guests before the big day.
Even though it will be hard to personally thank each one of your out-of-town guests, be sure to at least express your appreciation towards those who have come afar to celebrate this special day with you in your wedding toast. This will mean the world to them!

There's a new mystery surrounding the shoe of Duke basketball superstar Zion Williamson.
The shoe, which exploded from his foot on Feb. 20 as the Blue Devils took on the Tar Heels, injuring his knee and putting him on the bench for five games, is missing, according to TMZ.
During the NCAA Tournament, TMZ asked the player, a representative of Duke's athletic department and even Nike. No one seems to know where the damaged shoe is.
And that's money lost. To a collector, TMZ's report says, it could be worth up to $250,000.


I am running the code below. The function Ax returtns the value 1. But the ifelse statement does not recognize that Ax==1.
I've tried making the output of the function double-precision and all numeric values double. This hasn't worked.
As solutions to your problems you can return the final result of your function to an object and then use it as the ceiling function.
If you have to work with such results maybe a read of the Circle 1 of the R Inferno is a good thing to do. You can find it here.

An Intellectual Adventurer in Archaeology: Reflections on the work of Charles Thomas
edited by Andy M Jones and Henrietta Quinnell. Paperback; 205x290mm; xiv+286 pages; illustrated throughout in colour and black & white. 418 2018. Available both in printed and e-versions. Printed ISBN 9781784918613. Epublication ISBN 9781784918620.
Charles Thomas (1928-2016) was a Cornishman and archaeologist, whose career from the 1950s spanned nearly seven decades. This period saw major developments that underpin the structures of archaeology in Britain today, in many of which he played a pivotal part. He campaigned for the Chair of Cornish Studies at the University of Exeter, which he then held from 1972 until retirement, after teaching archaeology at Edinburgh and Leicester Universities.
The 'Intellectual Adventure in Archaeology' was to Charles the mental stimulation of developing narratives for the past, especially in the areas in which he was a leading authority, including the early church in Britain, the early medieval period more generally, and Cornish studies. The contributions to this volume demonstrate the extent to which his scholarship and character has underpinned the work of others, in Cornwall and beyond. Contributions come from life-long friends and from archaeologists at all of stages of their careers. Their subjects are predominantly Cornish, Gwithian, Tintagel and Scilly, but also range from Scotland to Southern France. The whole is brought to life by a series of Charles' watercolours, previously unpublished.
The volume should appeal to all those interested in the development of archaeology in the later 20th century and of Cornwall from prehistory to its distinctive present.
ANDY JONES BA PhD FSA MCIfA is Principal Archaeologist with the Cornwall Archaeological Unit. His PhD focused on the Earlier Bronze Age barrow and monument complexes in Cornwall and South West Britain. His research interests include the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods, as well as the archaeology of the upland and coastal areas of western Britain. Significant publications include 'Settlement and Metalworking in the Middle Bronze Age and Beyond' and 'Preserved in the Peat: an Extraordinary Bronze Age Burial on Whitehorse Hill, Dartmoor, and its Wider Context'. He recently worked with Charles Thomas on the North Cliffs project.
HENRIETTA QUINNELL BA FSA MCIfA was formerly Lecturer in Archaeology at the Department of Adult Education, Exeter University. Her acquaintance with the late Charles Thomas began in the late 1960s. She has worked in South West Britain ever since, is an authority on the prehistory of the region and has published extensively. She now works as a consultant for the region's prehistoric ceramics.

I love your post yesterday. That slideshow was the best! Doug! Nick is not a sweater vest wearer so I do not really have a frame of reference for this, but normally I think they are kinda Grandpa-ish. Not that all grandpa looks are bad!
So, to quote our dear friend Stephen, "how have we not posted on Downton Abbey yet?"
I've just started watching this awesome show and Deweese I know you are fan. Who else is watching?
What I love most about the show is the time period. It shows that in some moments of history, so much changed within a society in just two generations. Remember when Lady Grantham asked: "What is a weekend?". Really it seems no one is exactly sure about what is right and wrong in this moment in this society.
Also, I love the dresses so much. Someone give me an excuse to wear a dress like that someday, mmmkay?


We like this description of Odd Duck, a new illustrated storybook: "Theodora is a perfectly normal duck. She may swim with a teacup balanced on her head and stay north when the rest of the ducks fly south for the winter, but there's nothing so odd about that. Chad, on the other hand, is one strange bird. Theodora quite likes him, but she can't overlook his odd habits. It's a good thing Chad has a normal friend like Theodora to set a good example for him. But who exactly is the odd duck here? Theodora may not like the answer." Author Cecil Castellucci (Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd) hooks up with illustrator Sara Varon (Chicken and Cat) to create an unusual story of an unusual friendship. It's coming this May in hardcover from First Second.
When you think of France, what do you think of? No, no; keep it clean – fine wines!
The Cartoon Brew website reports that a series of six animated TV commercials for Fat Louis Wines featuring Fat Louis, an anthropomorphic French duck, has been made by animation artist/director Andy J. Smith of Newburyport, Massachusetts. The six commercials are collected into a 2'49" compilation, Les Aventures de Fat Louis.

EMS Week – Insights from 2021
May 18, 2021 | Last Updated: October 20, 2021
https://avive.life/ems-week-insights-from-2021/
As EMS Week begins, the information in the 2021 ESO Fire Service Index Report is of great relevance. The report was prepared based on data from ESO from 2,096,597 records from 537 fire departments throughout 2020. It breaks down the emergencies handled by fire departments by type of incident and other relevant variables.
The breakdown by type of incidents is as follows:
Fire 2.8%
Overpressure, Explosion, Overheat 0.1%
EMS Rescue 68.9%
Hazardous Condition 2.2%
Service Call 7.3%
Good Intent Call 12.3%
False Alarm / Call 6.2%
Severe Weather / Natural Disaster 0.1%
Special Incident Type 0.3%
One of the most emergent themes in the report is the prominence of EMS calls in the overall picture of the types of emergencies that fire services attend to. According to the report, about 69% of incidents that fire services responded to were EMS, whereas fire emergencies made up just 3% of all incidents. While this represents a 2 percentage point drop from 2019, it still underlines the area of focus for fire departments. The drop is likely attributable to Covid-19 to some degree.
This trend, while interesting, is not new and has been continuing for the past few years. This is largely due to policy changes that require fire-resistant materials in buildings. As such, there has been a sustained decrease in the number of fire emergencies and fire departments have been responding by hiring more EMS professionals and training them to respond to a different mix of emergencies. The report recommends that fire departments focus more effort on integrating EMS services by collaborating with EMS providers on issues of public health and safety.
Another important area of comparison between fire and EMS response is the time factor in responding to calls. The report showed that the sampled fire departments responded adequately, largely meeting or exceeding NFPA standards. The time from call to arrival at the scene of the emergency for both fire services and EMS responses were pretty similar. With regards to the travel time taken from the station to the scene, 50% of EMS responses met the NFPA-recommended time of 4 minutes and 54% of fire responses met that goal. The report recommends a greater emphasis on record maintenance including the addition of timers with notifications to help the emergency personnel track their intervention time. In areas that take longer to reach, placement of automated external defibrillators for use by the public and law enforcement can help to increase the efficacy of emergency care.
Lastly, with Covid-19 being by far the most defining element of 2020, the report delves into its effects on EMS responses. Covid-19 increasingly featured as a factor as cases progressively rose in the US. 2.2% of all calls were attributed to suspected or confirmed Covid-19 cases, with the peak occurring in April.
EMS Week is a great time to reflect on the implications that this data has on emergency response personnel. The insights from this report are particularly important in the context of an unrelenting Covid-19 crisis which is likely to persist well into the foreseeable future. EMS Week provides an opportunity for reflection on these new challenges, informed by the findings tabled in this report.
Telecommunicator CPR (T-CPR): Meaning, Challenges & Outcomes
For people who experience Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), the first line of help is often a bystander, or a loved one in their home who sees they are in trouble and calls 911.
