Brooklyn Park Hotel Worker Named 'Hospitality Rockstar'
4:59 PM | Monday, November 28, 2022
In Brooklyn Park, a deserving honor for someone who works in an industry that has endured some challenging times.
Minneapolis Northwest Tourism honored one of its longtime hotel workers, Oscar Rosalez, with its "hospitality rockstar" award.
Described as a "jack of all trades," Rosalez works at the La Quinta Inn and Suites in Brooklyn Park.
He first started as a housekeeper, then transitioned to maintenance and supervisory work.
Oscar Rosalez (right), poses with Cyd Haynes, executive director of Minneapolis Northwest Tourism.
"He is a role model," said Khalid Qureshi, owner of the Brooklyn Park La Quinta. "He comes here every day happy, excited and we love to have him here."
"We want to be great hosts when visitors come into our area, and these are the people that are the best of hosts," said Cyd Haynes of Minneapolis Northwest Tourism. "These are the people that give the memorable experience for our visitors."
For the honor, Rosalez received a little hospitality himself, plus a $500 gift card.
"The hospitality industry is a little bit invisible. We don't always see the hard work that's behind what these people do," Haynes added. "And especially somebody who has been in in the industry for many, many years, has been faithful for many years to service our people. It's really important to lift up those people as examples, especially for the rest of the industry. We're going through a really hard time, so it's especially important right now."

Q: generating music from neurosky headset using midi in c# i am student of final year and have started working on my project.i have purchased the neurosky mindset,and was thinking to generatemusic by assigning one instrument to each wave(that are sent from the headset)e.g drum on alpha waves,using midi ,i want to to do the coding in c# im not a professional,so can any1 tell me if it is feasible?
and any links that will b helping

A: Yes, this is entirely possible.  I have already done exactly what you are suggesting.  You can find more details on my website for MindMaster MIDI.
There are a few parts to this.  The first is getting the samples from the headset and putting them in a buffer.  For that, you will need the Neurosky SDK.
Next, you will need to process those samples.  There are many algorithms for dealing with brain waves.  The easiest method (and the most fruitful, depending on who you ask), is convert your waveform from the time domain to the frequency domain, and check the relative levels of a few bands in the alpha/beta frequency range.  (This is anywhere from 8Hz to 24Hz or so.)
There are a handful of methods to do this programmatically.  FFT is a common way, and you will find many algorithms available.  I decided FFT was too slow for my purposes, and ended up using the Goertzel algorithm.  This was more efficient, as I am only looking at a few bands.
Once you have that, you need to write your application to turn that data into MIDI.  How you do this is up to you, and the features you wish to implement.
Next, you need to send MIDI data.  I'm not sure how familiar you are with MIDI, but at a basic level, there are note on/off messages.  You will likely be more interested in control-change messages, which control various parameters such as cutoff frequency and resonance.  To send MIDI with C#, again you have many choices.  Leslie Sanford's example on Code Project is sufficient to get you started.
Finally, if you have questions on any of this, you are better off asking individual questions separately.  Stack Overflow really isn't the place for "I want to do this big project, tell me how to do it all at once".

A: Okay I'm qualified to answer your question. I am developing a C# xna videogame right now.
public void _thinkGearWrapper_ThinkGearChanged(object sender, ThinkGearChangedEventArgs e)
{
    // update the textbox and sleep for a tiny bit
    BeginInvoke(new MethodInvoker(delegate
        {
            lblAttention.Text = "Attention: " + e.ThinkGearState.Attention;
            lblMeditation.Text = "Meditation: " + e.ThinkGearState.Meditation;
            attentionvar = e.ThinkGearState.Attention;
            meditationvar = e.ThinkGearState.Meditation;
            attentionstring = attentionvar.ToString();
            meditationstring = meditationvar.ToString();
            txtState.Text = e.ThinkGearState.ToString();
        }));
    Thread.Sleep(10);

  senddata();

}

public void senddata()
{
    FileStream fs = new FileStream("\\programming\\meditationvariables.txt", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite);
    fs.Close();
    StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("\\programming\\meditationvariables.txt", true, Encoding.ASCII);
    string nextline = meditationstring;
    sw.Write(nextline);
    sw.Close();
}

it's feasible. You need to download this project and look it over even though it's xna3.5
http://channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun/articles/MindBlaster
and you need to go this website
 developer.neurosky.com
check out my dropbox for my project it'll help too not updated yet though the new updated version will be alot more helpful comes with a read me and everything
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4tkemk6py7ffvch/JESUSISGOD-MINDBALLalpha.zip

A: The Android API exposes a data structure that would make your life a lot easier (not having to integrate with an FFT library or god forbid write your own).
In particular MSG_EEG_POWER.
From the SDK doc:
"The eight EEG powers are: delta (0.5 - 2.75Hz), theta (3.5 - 6.75Hz), low-alpha (7.5 - 9.25Hz), high-alpha (10 - 11.75Hz), low-beta (13 - 16.75Hz), high-beta (18 - 29.75Hz), low-gamma (31 - 39.75Hz), and mid-gamma (41 - 49.75Hz)."
You can then feed those into some of the stuff that Brad is doing.  You may be able to talk to the Neurosky guys to see if they can give you an API for C#.

A Level qualifications are completed over two years. A Levels are linear qualifications - this means that they will be assessed at the end of the course (end of second year).
A Levels are graded A* - E.All students will enrol on 3 linear A Levels and those students with an average GCSE points score of 6.5 and above will be able to study 4 A Levels.
A Level Progression will not be automatic - it will depend on several factors. You will need to have attended regularly and punctually and completed all your homework/coursework during the year.
You will need to have demonstrated that you are serious about your studies and you will need to have obtained an appropriate grade in the end of year exams.
We also have a number of vocational subjects and qualifications that we offer as part of an A Level programme.
These courses are assessed through coursework (not exams) and attract the same UCAS point as traditional A Levels however they are graded as a Distinction, Merit or Pass.

Malaysian Politician Anwar Ibrahim Released from Prison
FILE - Deputy Prime Minister and opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, center, smiles as he arrive at court house in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, June 13, 2017.
After three years in prison, Malaysian politician Anwar Ibrahim is now a free man after receiving a royal pardon.
The 70-year-old Anwar walked out of a hospital in Kuala Lumpur Wednesday where he was receiving treatment for a shoulder injury, and headed for a meeting with King Sultan Muhammad V.
Anwar was convicted in 2015 on charges of corruption and sodomy that were widely denounced as politically motivated. He served as deputy prime minister and finance minister under newly-elected Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad during the latter's first tenure as leader, and was seen as Mahathir's heir-apparent until he was fired in 1999.
Malaysia's Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, center, waves next to newly appointed Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng, left, after a press conference to announce his cabinet members in Petaling Jaya, May 12, 2018.
The two men reconciled and joined forces to form the Alliance of Hope opposition party that scored an upset victory in last week's parliamentary elections, ousting Prime Minister Najib Razak and his Barisan Nasional coalition, which ruled Malaysia uninterrupted for over six decades.
The election made the 92-year-old Mahathir, who ruled Malaysia with an iron fist from 1981 to 2003, the world's oldest elected leader. He says he will run the government for two years before turning over the reins to Anwar. Anwar must first be re-elected to parliament before he can succeed Mahathir.

Last year we chose to unveil our new product,ScoreBand, at the PGA Merchandise Show. With only prototypes of our product we were a little uncertain what to expect. However, our decision was rewarded when we walked away with the "Best Product Concept" Award and, more importantly, stacks of prospects and customers. This show essentially launched ScoreBand on the positive trajectory it is on today and we are thrilled to be returning for the 2013 show.
The show is taking place January 24-26, 2013 in Orlando, FL at the Orange County Convention Center. We are excited to be back as an exhibitor especially since this show is one of the most influential events in the golf industry for innovative products.
Since the last show ScoreBand has been picked-up by over 200 retailers and distributors and is now available in 18 countries. We are looking forward to seeing what is new this year and introducing more of the golf community to our product.
If you are going to be at the PGA Merchandise Show, drop us a line at connect@scoreband.net we'd love to see you! If you're not going to the show don't worry we will be live tweeting and updating ourFacebook with all the action!
Also in ScoreBand: Advancing the Game.

About the Foehn win, history and geography of the airflow from the Swiss and Bavarian Alps.
The foehn is an ill wind that blows, one of more than 30 "witches' winds" around the world that make people do strange things, such as beat their spouses and commit suicide. California has its Santa Ana, the Rockies their Chinook, southern France its vent d'Espagne, Chile and Argentina their zonda, North Africa its khamsin. But the foehn that whistles down the Swiss and Bavarian Alps is the grandmother wind; hence all such witches' winds are categorized as foehns (the Germans pronounce it almost like fern).
The foehn brings on dizziness, nausea, drooping eyelids, suicidal depression, blood-pressure changes, and other symptoms. Cows stop giving milk, industrial production goes down while the number of accidents goes up, good students flunk exams, husbands beat their wives, hospitals and doctors lose more patients than usual, and the murder rate goes up.
It dries up the moisture from the land and creates forest-fire hazards. And it makes distances confusing to the eye; a mountain 50 mi. off will seem to be only a few miles away.
The foehn is nothing more than a warm, bone-dry airflow that comes down the mountainsides in the spring and fall. It is a southern wind created by pressure differences on the north and south sides of the Alps. When the pressure drops on the north side, a vacuum forms and pulls the wind up the face of the mountain and down the other side. Dr. Nathan Robinson of the Israel Institute of Technology at Haifa suggests that the human distress is caused by the change in the electrical balance of the atmosphere--an increase in the proportion of atoms carrying a positive rather than a negative charge. These particles, known as positive ions, are known to disturb humans.
There is no cure for foehn sickness, though German pharmaceutical companies sell a number of patented antifoehn medicines. Antifoehn amulets and herbs are also available.

Pts: Nolan Bird - 14
Reb: Joe Murray - 9
Pts: Darnay Gray - 20
Reb: Jose Berroa - 8
Ast: Eric Vargas - 6
LYNDON CENTER, Vt. – The Lyndon State College men's basketball team kicked off the 2016-17 season at home with a commanding 92-60 win over Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) Tuesday night.
Darnay Gray (Mashantucket, Conn.) led the way for the Hornets with 20 points and five rebounds. Corey Frost (Hamden, Conn.) added 15 while Raymond Monroe (Cranston, R.I.) and Kendrick Mills (Bellows Falls, Vt.) chipped in 11 points apiece.
Nolan Bird (Clarksburg, Mass.) posted 14 points while Joe Wiggins (Pittsfield, Mass.) added 12 for the Trailblazers. Joe Murray (Cairo, N.Y.) had a game-high nine rebounds.
With just a 6-4 lead a few minutes into the first half, the Hornets took control of the game on back-to-back threes and a layup from Monroe. The Hornets used high intensity defense to force tough shots from the visitors, steadily building onto their lead. Holding the Trailblazers to just 27 percent shooting from the field in the first 20 minutes, the hosts took a convincing 49-22 lead into the break.
Lyndon continued to put pressure on the MCLA offense as they continued to get stops and convert on the offensive end in the second half, outscoring the visitors 43-38 for a final score of 92-60.
The Hornets held the advantage in all important statistical categories, including winning the fight on the glass 59-36 and shooting 42 percent from the floor.
After the game, head coach Chris Dorsey was pleased with the win, stating, "I am very proud of the way we played defensively as a unit. Our main focus this year has been on the defensive end, tonight we were put to the test and came out on top."
"On the offensive end," Coach Dorsey continued, "we had four guys in double figures. We played unselfish and shared the ball. We have a number of guys on the team that are capable of scoring and we proved that."
Next up, Lyndon (1-0, 0-0 NAC) travels to take on Division I opponent The University of Vermont on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
MCLA (0-1, 0-0 MASCAC) takes on Connecticut College in the Coaches vs. Cancer Tip-Off Classic at Coast Guard Academy on Saturday at 6:00 p.m.

Q: What is the reasoning in this step of proving classification of finite abelian groups? I'm studying classification of finite abelian groups. The proof I'm reading can be found here.
I am trying to understand the proof of the second lemma in this file, but I'm stuck at the following part:

But $G / K = (C + K) / K \oplus H / K$ means that $G = (C +K) + H = \ldots$

So I am wondering why this is true.

Edit: one commenter suggessted I add definitions for the folowing symbols:
$C = A \oplus B$ means direct sum of two groups (every element from C can be written as $c = a + b$ while also $A \cap B = \{ 0 \}$ )
$C = A + B$ means sum of two groups (every element from C can be written as $c = a + b$)

BOOTS ON THE GROUND: Ava Librizzi, a Warwick native and St. Raphael Academy junior, is eclipsed by a massive pile of donated boots and hats, amounting to over $8,000 of product in about three months of seeking donations.
While on a trip to New York City to celebrate her birthday last December, Ava Librizzi – a junior at St. Raphael Academy and a Warwick native – wasn't focusing on herself. She was thinking how sad it was to see homeless individuals holding signs – many of them claiming to be military veterans – without ample clothing to protect them from the weather.
While she knew she wanted to help the plight of homeless veterans, she didn't exactly know how. Her dad offered a simple, yet effective suggestion.
"I said, 'Ava, why don't you help our heroes?' And that clicked for her," said her father, Chris, an EMT for the Warwick Fire Department.
And so "Help a Hero" was born – a charitable foundation currently in the process of earning its 501(c)(3) status that seeks to provide new or slightly used boots and warm winter hats to veterans in need.
The generosity of the community began this January in multiple Catholic masses of St. Kevin's and St. Benedict's, where Father Robert Marciano arranged for Ava to speak in front of parishioners to pitch her charitable endeavor and ask for any help people could offer.
They did that, and then some.
Bins for donations continued to fill, until the young nonprofit had already raised over $8,000-worth of high-quality winter wear, which will be donated to Operation Stand Down this Wednesday.
Where can a single family contain all those donations, you may be wondering?
"Our garage is jam packed," Chris said with a smile.
While the donation totals in a short time has exceeded all expectations, Ava is not content to quit now. The 7th annual charity hockey game held between the Warwick Fire Department and the Warwick Police Department will be held this Saturday at 6 p.m. at Thayer Arena, and the foundation to benefit from this year's charitable drive will benefit Help a Hero. Chris facilitates the charity game each year and received widespread support to benefit Help a Hero.
Additionally, Operation Stand Down has invited Ava to help in their yearly coat drive, and through a connection with St. Raphael's principal, Daniel Richard, Ava might have a foot in the door with the proprietor of Vibram Soles, a high-quality manufacturer of boots, shoes and soles for shoes that could potentially net even more support for the foundation. Her cousin also offered to set up a similar drive in Seattle, Wash. under her name.
Chris said that the support from the community and beyond has been astounding.
The Librizzi family is not new to giving back to their community. Ava's older brother, Zachary, earned a community service award from then-President Barack Obama for completing over 300 hours of community service during his four-year stint at St. Raphael.
There will be bins for more donations set up at the charity hockey game at Thayer Arena on Saturday, April 6, beginning at 6 p.m. The Librizzi's encouraged any donations of new or slightly used boots and hats, as all will be donated to go towards giving back to homeless veterans.


Going to that big App Store in the sky.
Anyone who logged into Google's Inbox app on Tuesday was greeted by a notification telling them to just download regular Gmail already. It also warned users that Inbox will not be available after April 2.
Though the two apps are functionally similar, Inbox and the regular Gmail app served different audiences. Inbox leaned heavily into productivity-minded users by giving people some handy ways to clean up their messy inboxes and never spend too much time drafting a response. It was the birthplace of the auto-generated Gmail reply, for those who would rather say "Thanks!" by pressing a button than typing it out.
That was one of the Inbox features that eventually made it over to the default app, but not all of them did. For example, Inbox also allowed users to sort similar messages into "bundles," something that hasn't been fully replicated in Gmail just yet.
The death knell of Inbox by Gmail, as seen by the app's users on Tuesday morning.
The app was originally launched in 2014 on an invite-only basis, but became available to the public later. It can still be downloaded and used for now, but it's probably inadvisable to fall in love with Inbox just two weeks before its destruction.
As you might expect, the death of Inbox has made some people pretty unhappy. An online petition to stop Google from shutting down Inbox was created late last year and actually got a boost in signatures on Tuesday morning after the death notification went out. At the time of writing, it was about 500 signatures away from its goal of 10,000.
Inbox fans took to Twitter to mourn the outgoing app and vent their frustration.


Many people are unaware that the U.S. FDA's mandated nutrition labels are based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet, but a simple weekly text message reminder can greatly improve that awareness, according to a new study.

Q: Configure authorized roles dynamically via a config file in MVC Application I current have the following attribute decorating one of the action method.
[Authorize(Roles = "Admin")]
public ActionResult DoAdminTask()
{
//Do something

   return View();
}

Currently, only users in the Admin role can invoke this method, but this will change. Is there anyway I can store a list of authorised roles in a config file, rather than hard coding it into the source?
EDIT: Roles will change over time, and more than 1 role will need access.
i.e. Users in either role A OR role B can access.

A: No way to do this with the standard authorize attribute, but you could extend the authorize attribute with your own custom authorize attribute and have it use a configuration file to determine the mapping between controller/action and the set of roles.

A: but you can use something like
public static class AppRoles
{
    public const string Users = "UsersRoleName";
    public const string Admin = "AdminRoleName";
}

and then Controller can have authorize attribute as
[Authorize(Roles = AppRoles.Admin)]

A: I felt this question deserved an answer with a code sample... Taking @tvanfosson's suggestion of extending the AuthorizeAttribute class, here's what I came up with (criticism is more than welcome).
AuthorizeFromConfiguration.cs:
public class AuthorizeFromConfiguration: AuthorizeAttribute
{
    public new string Roles
    {
        get {
            return base.Roles;
        }
        set {
            var config = new ConfigurationBuilder()
                .SetBasePath(Environment.CurrentDirectory)
                .AddJsonFile("authorization.json")
                .Build();
            base.Roles = config[value];
        }
    }
}

authorization.json:
{
    "Parts": {
        "Create": "contoso.com\\MyWebApp_CreateNewPart",
        "Edit": "contoso.com\\MyWebApp_EditPart"
    }
}

Example Usage:
[AuthorizeFromConfiguration(Roles = "Parts:Create")]
public class CreateModel : PageModel
{
    //...
}

Note: In my testing, the web-site had to be restarted before any changes to authorization.json file took effect, even when I tried changing the logic so that the JSON file was read on the get accessor instead of the set.

Preview: Mythgard -It's not a myth, nor a legend, but rather, something better
March 1, 2019 / Dustin Murphy
Developed by former Blizzard developer Peter Hu and former Google X senior software engineer Paxton Mason as Rhino Games, Mythgard is an intriguing and surprisingly well designed CCG with tons of potential already showing in its current state. Find out what we thought of the current build.
Over the course of the past few weeks, I've been putting my daily sessions of Hearthstone with my friends on hold as of late. Not because I don't "enjoy" absolutely getting my head bounced off a table as I'm overwhelmed by clearly more advanced decks than my own. Rather, I've been putting a couple of hours a day into a currently in Early Access title by the name of Mythgard.
Haven't heard of it? Don't feel bad, I didn't either until I stumbled across it while digging through press kits that we receive on a daily basis. Upon running our first article about the game, I couldn't help but reach out to the PR team and see about getting my hands on the game. To put it bluntly, it's one of the best decisions I've ever made as a fan of TCGs and Deck Builder titles, as this one truly stands out among its peers.
For years, I've put plenty of time into both The Elder Scrolls: Legends, Hearthstone, and various other mobile and PC based games such as this. For years, I've also found a lack of staying power due to how closely interweaved one another is. That's where Mythgard comes into play. It doesn't copy and paste the mechanics we've seen before. Sure, you will place cards on the field of play, you will draw cards, and you will use mana to play said cards, but the underlying mechanics are actually quite different than any I've seen before.
Getting to know Mythgard
Mythgard, before we dive deep into gameplay mechanics, is a CCG by every means of the word. You'll play through a very well thought out and voiced over storyline, one that gives every card you use a rather deep meaning compared to a few mere sentences on the bottom of the card, and get to truly know what the cards themselves actually are.
To put it bluntly, Mythgard is a world torn apart in chaos. Mythical creatures live, clans of Valkyries, Vampires, and the likes actually do-exist. There's even a card that takes a jab at the Greek minotaur itself – the Minitaur. Unlike most games of this kind, Mythgard has a rather deep and meaningful story that hinges on vengeance, self-preservation, and bonds that have yet to be made.
In this world, vampires, humans, valkyries, and other mythological creatures exist and none of them, as I've stated, get along all that well. Angels themselves frown upon those below them, smiting any they see unfit or unholy by any means while there are some, just a few, that keep to themselves.
As the story before you begins to unfolds, you're met with some of the most intriguing dialogue I've yet seen in a game such as this. All of its voice acted, combat and story scenarios alike. Each one unfolds in immaculate detail, chronicling the adventures in the first 'season' between the Valkyries and a wanderer, returned from her own metaphorical Hell.
The best part? Every fight your characters will get into themselves, plays out as a part of the story, using CCG mechanics to fuel their combat scenarios. An interesting approach indeed. But how they work, is quite different than what you'll experience in Magic the Gathering, Hearthstone, or even The Elder Scrolls: Legends.
Getting to understand the basics of Mythgard and how it plays
Like every CCG on the market, every game has its own unique set of rules and how a match starts out before the ball gets rolling. Just like Magic the Gathering, Hearthstone, and The Elder Scrolls: Legends – you will have a life pool that must be depleted while maintaining control of the field of play.
Just like any CCG or TCG on the market, you'll find that both players have opposing lanes, each allowing up to seven cards to be placed on the field. Along with these seven cards, extras can be played such as enchantments, each one allowing players to optimize their play of field to their advantage. Starting out, players are dealt with an opening hand of five cards total, with a sixth being drawn during a players turn – varying based on whether it's a story mission or an online opponent.
Once your turn begins, like any game, you have the option to play a card, but there's a cost. In order to play a card and grow your mana pull, you'll need to burn a card. Each card is worth a single mana stone, the type of mana it is depending on the card that is burnt. For example, red cards, they'll result in red mana, blue will result in blue, orange will produce orange, and so forth.
Each card will, just like in Magic the Gathering, require a specified amount of a specific mana type, allowing it to only be played with that mana type if the card requires that mana type only can be met. Of course, other mana shards can be used to pay the grey mana cost while others can be used to pay for the element the card requires in order to be played.
Once cards are in play, you'll find that you can place a card in one of the seven spots on your lane. Cards on these lanes can be automatically blocked depending on where your opponent places their card on the field of play. Cards can only attack and or block an opponents card if they are diagonally aligned with one another.
Due to this being a digital CCG, one would be right to assume that every card comes with their own unique abilities. Vampires, for example, are great at stealing life, building up their player's health while unleashing extremely lethal blows to their lane, allowing them to sustain their lane and their health pool while on the go.
Valkyries, for example, are filled to the brim with synergy when played together. For example, if you team up a Stormdottir's Chosen while you have several other Valkyries on the field, a Demolition Speedway, and have the Stormdottir's Chosen on the Speedway? You'll quickly find the Stormdottir's Chosen has been receiving numerous +1/+1 buffs to her due to her fallen sisters.
Place a Road Queen into that mix and things can get extremely ugly rather quickly. On the other hand, you can play red, maximizing your ability to deal massive damage with spells like Ignition while placing powerful Wyvern's on the field, allowing them to deal lethal blows to your opponent's lanes in a single swoop while using vampires to keep your health pool up after being attacked.
Along with the combat mechanics you've just read about comes the ability to move your minions around the board over time. Each turn, a minion can move a single spot unless they have abilities that allow them – like the wyvern that can move to any spot on the map. However, once you do this, they can't enter combat for that turn.
Just like playing a card fresh from your hand, you'll find them locked into a 'summoning sickness' type of state that places them out of play for their turn. While they will still block an opposing attacker, don't expect them to do much more from there. After that, it's cleansing and repeat for those looking into how easy the game is to learn.
Deck Building is hard, but it's a worthwhile experience
One of the hardest parts about any CCG or TCG is going to be the less apparent part of the game. Building your very own deck to play. Due to the fact this is a story-driven game and one where you will want to unlock stuff as you go, you'll find that playing the story mode and PvE battles are going to be the way to go for just a little while longer once you complete the currently existing story sections.
As you do progress, you'll be able to buy boosters, from there, you can earn the cards you need in order to keep your experience going. But, now that we're here, we need to talk about it in the meantime. As like any other game of this type, you need to consider how you want to play, what kind of synergy you want in your deck.
For me, I've decided to stick with the vampire types and the Valkyries. I love their cards, and thus, I've found a balance in how they play, optimizing for cards that allow me to get them out quickly, flooding the playing field with what they have to offer, and going from there. Often times using Life Steal, Alpha Strike, and Rush (attack first) to my advantage.
But there's an exception to what I've stated. Everyone plays differently and you will find that each element reflects their type of play. Red is for those who want to hit hard, fast, and ensure that the battlefield is always clear and at their advantage while blue will do its best to manipulate the playing field and tilt the odds in its favor.
Green is about building its strength, allowing itself to grow strong, buffing its cards at every turn while giving off some great defensive capabilities while yellow is just the opposite. It's about growing 'tokens' and reinforcing itself with low-cost cards will getting heavy hitters on the field.
Regardless of how you play, paying attention to abilities such as Rush, Life Steal, Alpha Strike and the drag down mechanic on a card, allowing it to use specific abilities during its turn.
The art and music are more than appealing
One of the things I love about any card game out there is going to be its art. The second thing is that if they are digital, I can honestly say I can get behind the music if it's good and properly done, which is where Mythgard comes into play. Those that enjoy art from card games such as Battletech and Magic the Gathering won't be disappointed by any means.
The score for Mythgard is just as good, accenting itself as an epic of its own, oftentimes going between orchestrated pieces to softly synthesized instruments that are slightly drowned out by the higher pitch instruments in use. Honestly, I hope for more of it and I really do hope to see new musical arrangements debut in the later chapters of the game.
Even while there's only one, it's good, it's very good and the art behind every card, every set piece and every bit of the game itself, is just as equally good if not better. But even in its current state, Mythgard is beautiful and actually easy on the eyes. It's not super flashy, flamboyant, and colorful like Hearthstone, Gwent or The Elder Scrolls: Legends.
Even now, it's a promising game and it only promises to get even bigger and better with age
Even in its current state, I could write you a novel on how amazingly well designed Mythgard is and how unique it actually plays, but I won't. Rather, I'll close it with saying this. It's a game that promises to deliver, that promises more than it already promises in its current state.
It's a game that is truly a piece of art in the making and it already looks like it'll be a masterpiece once production and development of the game is done. While it will be free-to-play, the chapters themselves are promising and the story is even more so as we explore the adventures of Percy and Ingrid as tensions between the factions arise and an ancient evil seeks a rise to power.
But even now, in its early stage of development, it's playable, it's functional, and honestly – it's got an easy point of entry that doesn't just overwhelm you with microtransactions or forces you to pay in order to keep on playing unlike Hearthstone or various other titles on the market. If that's the way it'll stay, this game will surely put some heat on its competitor titles thanks to cross-play features that are expected to be available when the game fully launches later this year.

Today, more and more people are wearing the eye glasses. Among these people, some are really suffered from vision problem of their eyes. Because in the modern society, with the development of the technology, everyday we deal with these things such as computer, TV, PSP and so on. The natural age of the eyes are certainly got older in advance compared to those who barely use them at all. However, there are also some people who need eyeglasses to make themselves more beautiful, elegant, handsome and fashionable. No matter what the reason is, above all, many people want to buy glasses. And more people are love to buy eyeglasses online now.
Most people will find they are unable to do anything with so many eyeglasses when they decide to buy prescription glasses at local stores. Especially for the laypeople, it is harder to choose satisfied eyeglasses. So in my opinion, we should assess some important factors before we buy the eyeglasses.
I think the glasses frame is the first factor which can not be ignored. There are many glasses frames made of plastic, metal, stainless steel, titanium .etc. They can also be distinguished with two basic kinds: plastic and metal ones. All of them have their own features. Plastic ones are fashionable and lightweight for wearing. They are new trends of the times. On the contrary, metal ones which are consist of many types such as Titanium, gold, silver, bronze and so on are more everlasting, serviceable. The glasses frames can also be distinguished according the other ways. People have more experiences of buying eyeglasses may know the shape of frames, such as rectangular and round ones. As a matter of fact, people need to buy the glasses according to their own face shapes. According to the statistics, our face shapes mainly belong to oval, round, oblong or square. So we must have awareness of our face shapes before we buy eyeglasses. For example, when your face shape is belonging to oblong one, you should choose round glasses frames to shorten the face. The color of the glasses frames can also be under consideration. We can choose the color which we like and the color should goes well with our faces. For example, silver color is very popular with many people in our country.
Eyeglasses lens is also an important factor which we can not be neglected. The two most common lenses are hard resin lenses and glass optical lenses. They all have their own advantages and disadvantages. Glass optical lenses have the feature of scuff resistance and are much heavier compared to other materials of lenses. Hard resin lenses are much lighter; however, they have lower hardness. Above all, only according the actual situation of ourselves, can we choose the most satisfied glasses?
So according to what I talked above, we can buy satisfied prescription glasses by all means.


"Striking and warm family viewing, 'Last Leaf' is an ideal addition to any personal, school or community library video collection."
A small New York apartment was a favorite location for an O. Henry story. He is reported to have said, "I would like to live a lifetime in each street in New York. Every house has a drama in it."
Here, just around the corner from the turn of the century, in Greenwich Village, we find two young struggling artists who've become the best of friends only to have one stricken with deadly Pneumonia. And she is convinced that when the last leaf falls from the ivy outside her window, that she will go too. "The lonesomest thing in all the world is a soul when it is making ready to go on its mysterious, far journey."
And yet against the howling wind, as the rain beats at the window, one small ray of hope bravely clings on against the storm.

<< Japan Could Be 'Main Player'... Report: US Gave Iraq Intel... >>
4 US Destroyers Positioned Near Syria as Obama, Security Team Discuss Options
The destroyer Mahan is not heading home and will remain positioned close to Syria, a defense official said.
Aug. 24, 2013 Defense News (AFP)
WASHINGTON, D.C. — US President Barack Obama met with his top national security advisors early Saturday to discuss the response to Syria's alleged use of chemical weapons, a White House official said.
"The president has directed the intelligence community to gather facts and evidence so that we can determine what occurred in Syria. Once we ascertain the facts, the president will make an informed decision about how to respond," the official said.
"We have a range of options available, and we are going to act very deliberately so that we're making decisions consistent with our national interest as well as our assessment of what can advance our objectives in Syria."
Another U.S. defense official tells [Defense News sister publication] Navy Times that there are now four destroyers positioned in the eastern Mediterranean Sea: the Mahan, Barry, Gravely and Ramage. The Mahan was initially scheduled to head home, being replaced by the Ramage. But for now, Mahan will remain deployed, the official said.
Obama is under mounting pressure to act following reports of a massive chemical attack near Damascus that opposition groups say killed as many as 1,300 people.
The Syrian government has denied using chemical weapons.
Obama had repeatedly warned that the use of chemical weapons by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces was a "red line" that could bring about a more strident Western response to the two-year-old civil war.
On Friday Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel suggested that the United States was moving forces into place ahead of possible military action against Syria.
However, Obama has also voiced caution about the kind of intervention that could draw the United States into another prolonged conflict in the Middle East.
US commanders have nevertheless prepared a range of options for Obama if he chooses to proceed with military strikes against Damascus, Hagel told reporters during a visit to Southeast Asia.
"The Defense Department has a responsibility to provide the president with options for all contingencies," Hagel said.
"And that requires positioning our forces, positioning our assets to be able to carry out different options — whatever the president might choose."

Is Obama Getting a Pass for Monday's Air Force One NYC Flyover?
If George W. Bush's White House military office had staged an Air Force One photo op flyover of Manhattan without warning New Yorkers beforehand resulting in buildings being evacuated and widespread panic, would media have castigated him for his wreckless stupidity and obvious disengagement from tensions those in the area still have due to 9/11?
This seems an important question given what happened Monday, and how the press are covering the incident with someone in the White House they can't hide their love for.
Just before the workday began on Monday, an airliner and supersonic fighter jet zoomed past the lower Manhattan skyline. Within minutes, startled financial workers streamed out of their offices, fearing a nightmarish replay of Sept. 11.
For a half-hour, the Boeing 747 and F-16 jet circled the Statue of Liberty and the Financial District near the World Trade Center site. Offices evacuated. Dispatchers were inundated with calls. Witnesses thought the planes were flying dangerously low.
But the flyover was nothing but a photo op, apparently one of a series of flights to get pictures of [the President's plane – Air Force One] in front of national landmarks.
It was carried out by the Defense Department with little warning, infuriating New York officials and putting the White House on the defense. Even Mayor Michael Bloomberg didn't know about it, and he later called it "insensitive" to fly so near the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
When told of the flight, President Barack Obama was furious, a White House official said on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.
So, Obama is off the hook because he's furious?
A scare in New York today. Workers in skyscrapers near Ground Zero looked out to see a low-flying 747 shadowed by a fighter jet. With images of 9/11 still fresh in their minds, people poured into the streets. Turns out it was one of President Obama's planes doing a photo shoot near the Statue of Liberty. The White House military office is apparently updating its photo file of Air Force One near national landmarks. The president reportedly furious about the incident and the military office has apologized.
Is this how the coverage would have went if this incident happened while Bush was in power? Would a totally unknown official in the White House military office been allowed to apologize, and the president get a pass because he was furious?
Or would … the press have viciously excoriated the president for his astounding stupidity and disengagement from the public he serves?
1. Do you think this is an example of bias by spin and/or omission? Explain your answer.
2. Do you think that the media would have reported this story differently if it had been done by the Bush administration? Explain your answer. Ask a parent the same question.

Statement from UK Embassy in Spain
The following statement was released by the British Embassy in Madrid on 30 March 2021. It offers clarification on recent changes to the restrictions for people wishing to travel from the UK to Spain and also on the situation for those with second homes in Spain who do not intend to apply for residency.
An update for UK Nationals
From 1 January, UK Nationals have been able to spend 90 days out of every 180 within the Schengen area for tourism or other specific purposes, such as business meetings, without needing a visa. Any stays beyond the 90 days will be dependent on Spain's visa and immigration rules and any UK Nationals who would like to discuss extending their stay should contact their local extranjería office or call 060.
All foreign nationals intending to stay in Spain for longer than three months have always been obliged to register for residency – whatever their nationality. Therefore if you arrived in Spain before 1 January you must take steps to become resident if you consider your home to be here. Otherwise, you should be arranging to return to the UK. If you are trying to become resident and are in the process of registering or appealing against your application having been rejected, the 90-day rule does not apply to you.
HMA Hugh Elliott said: "I'm aware that many second home owners are concerned about overstaying as we reach 31 March. The Spanish Government has been clear that it will take a pragmatic approach to anyone who is stuck in Spain due to circumstances beyond their control, so I don't want people to be overly worried on that count. However, if people do not intend to become resident here in Spain and see the UK as their base, we do expect them to take steps to return to the UK as soon as they can."
A Spanish Ministry of Inclusion spokesperson said: "The Spanish Government is working to provide maximum legal certainty for British citizens resident in Spain. Throughout the negotiations, the issue of citizens' rights has been, and remains, one of the main priorities. Spain is the country of residence of the largest community of UK nationals in the EU.
"The Spanish Government has no plans to deport British citizens who have made Spain their home and, for this reason, Spain has been one of the first EU countries to establish a documentation procedure under the Withdrawal Agreement, which consists of a declaratory system to apply for the new residence permit (TIE). We remind British citizens that, although there is no time limit, it is important to make this application as soon as possible as, among other things, it will facilitate the administrative processing and the crossing of the external borders of the European Union."
If you are in the UK and considering travelling to Spain or are in Spain and have friends or family wanting to visit, you should be aware of the continuing travel restrictions on both leaving the UK and entering Spain. UK Nationals must make sure that they meet both the requirements to leave the UK and those to enter Spain, bearing in mind that they are not the same. From 30 March, entry to Spain will only be granted to those passengers who can demonstrate that their journey is essential, as well as to those who are already legally resident in Spain. Entering merely to visit, even if you have a second home here, is not a justified reason for entry. You may be questioned on arrival by Spanish border authorities to ensure you meet the entry requirements and they will only grant entry if they are satisfied that your journey to Spain is essential and reserve the right to deny passage. Ultimately, the decision on whether to grant entry into Spain is made by Spanish border officials as set out in our Travel Advice. For the latest information and links to the restrictions on leaving the UK and entering Spain, we advise people to visit our Travel Advice page on gov.uk and sign up for alerts, so that they are notified of any changes: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain

Tampa Bay Rays - TeamReport
MLB Team Report - Tampa Bay Rays - INSIDE PITCH
Just when it appeared as if the injury bug had finally left the Rays, manager Joe Maddon announced before Wednesday's game that designated hitter Luke Scott, the team's RBI leader, has a stiff lower back that has kept him out of the lineup since Saturday.
Scott, who did not make himself available before Wednesday's 9-1 loss to the visiting Mets, apparently suffered the injury Friday night when he pinch-hit against the Marlins during the eighth inning. Scott reached on an error and stole second.
"He hits a bullet off the second baseman, was safe, steals a bag, all that, and the next day it was starting to feel a little stiff," Maddon said.
With the Rays playing at Miami, Scott wasn't needed as a DH during the final two games of the series. Maddon explained Scott's absence in the Rays' lineup Tuesday was directly related to Hideki Matsui, who got a start that day on his 38th birthday.
Scott did not participate in any of the pregame drills Tuesday or Wednesday. Maddon also said he could not place a timetable on when Scott might be able to return to the lineup.
"He is day-to-day. To not mislead, I'm really not sure (when he will return)," Maddon said Wednesday. "He feels better today than he did yesterday, but he's not 100 percent."
Scott leads the Rays with 35 RBI, but he is mired in a two-week slump. He had not started the past seven games and is hitless in his last 15 at-bats. He is batting .125 in his last 15 games, including .105 against left-handed pitchers.
MLB Team Report - Tampa Bay Rays - NOTES, QUOTES
--Mets RHP R.A. Dickey held the Rays to one hit Wednesday. It was the 13th time in team history the Rays were held to one hit or fewer, the eighth time since the start of the 2010 season. The lone hit was an infield single by CF B.J. Upton in the first inning, and Mets manager Terry Collins said he would appeal to Major League Baseball to change the ruling to an error on 3B David Wright.
--LHP David Price allowed seven runs, the most he's ever allowed at Tropicana Field, during his five-inning outing against the Mets. He allowed four earned runs total in his five previous starts at the Trop this season.
--CF B.J. Upton extended his hitting streak to nine games with a first-inning single, a slow roller up the third base line that Mets 3B David Wright could not field cleanly with his bare hand. Had the play happened in the ninth with Dickey working on a no-hitter, it might have been ruled an error.
--2B Ben Zobrist, who missed Tuesday's game due a sore right hand, didn't play again Wednesday, this time because of a fever. According to manager Joe Maddon, Zobrist's hand was feeling better.
--LHP J.P. Howell allowed two runs in the ninth inning. That's five runs allowed for Howell in 1 1/3 innings during the first two games of the series. Manager Joe Maddon pledged his support for Howell both before and after the game, but he admitted that Jake McGee is now the late-inning left-hander in the bullpen.
--LHP Jake McGee, he pitched a scoreless inning Wednesday and lowered his ERA to 1.13 in 18 appearances (16 innings) since the start of May. McGee has not allowed a run at Tropicana Field this season in 11 1/3 innings.
BY THE NUMBERS: 20 -- Runs allowed by the Rays in the first two games of the series, the most in consecutive home games since they allowed a combined 21 runs to the Orioles on Sept. 1 and 2, 2004.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "He knows what he's doing. I believe he can cut it and make it sail up and away from a hitter. There's a method to his madness, I guess, and it's been incredibly effective." -- 1B Carlos Pena, on the performance of Mets RHP R.A. Dickey, who threw a one-hitter Wednesday against the Rays.
MLB Team Report - Tampa Bay Rays - ROSTER REPORT
MEDICAL WATCH:
--DH Luke Scott (stiff lower back) did not play June 9-13. He is day-to-day.
--2B Ben Zobrist (sore right hand, fever) did not play June 12 due to the hand injury, then sat out the next day when he was ill. He is day-to-day.
--3B Evan Longoria (partial tear of left hamstring) went on the 15-day disabled list May 1. He might begin a minor league rehab assignment June 15, and he could return to the major league lineup shortly thereafter.
--INF Jeff Keppinger (broken right big toe) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to May 19.
--RHP Kyle Farnsworth (right elbow strain) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 1, and he was transferred to the 60-day DL on May 1. He began throwing a ball in a sock May 1. He threw off a mound for the first time May 23, then threw to hitters June 6.

Otto Theodor Ebel (* 15. Juli 1843 in Potsdam; † 22. September 1893 in Berlin) war ein deutscher Holzschneider, Graphiker und Buch-Illustrator. Bekannt wurde er vor allem für seine Architektur-Holzschnitte, die das Centralblatt der Bauverwaltung vom Entstehen an maßgeblich prägten.

Leben
Ebel erlernte den Beruf des Holzschneiders in Berlin, wo er auch zeitlebens arbeitete. Nach 1860 eröffnete er eine eigene Werkstatt zur Anfertigung von Holzschnitten. In den früheren Jahren seines selbständigen Schaffens war er mehr mit der Anfertigung von Holzschnitten für geschichtliche oder Unterhaltungs-Schriften beschäftigt. Darunter waren Der schleswig-holsteinsche Krieg im Jahre 1864 von Theodor Fontane, wobei die Anfertigung der Holzschnitte nach Zeichnungen von L. Burger und Luder erfolgte.

Später wandte er sich ganz dem technischen und Architektur-Holzschnitt zu. In der Werkstatt Ebels entstanden, nicht nur durch ihn persönlich, eine Fülle von Holzschnitten. Obwohl die Holzschneidekunst durch billige mechanische Vervielfältigungsverfahren bereits verdrängt wurde, waren diese in fast allen wichtigen Publikationen des Ingenieurwesens vertreten und hatten Einfluss auf die Entwicklung des technischen Illustrationswesens. Ebels Werkstatt war damit praktisch einzigartig.

Am 22. September 1893 erlag Otto Ebel im 51. Lebensjahre nach kurzem Leiden einem Schlagfluss. Im Nachruf des Centralblattes der Bauverwaltung hieß es "insbesondere das Centralblatt der Bauverwaltung wird nicht vergessen, was es seinem dahingeschiedenen Arbeitsgenossen zu danken hat." Noch bis mindestens 1899 erschienen hier vereinzelt Arbeiten Ebels.

Arbeiten

Otto Ebels Holzschnitte waren nach Ansicht seiner Zeitgenossen von Liebe, Geschick und architektonischem Verständnis geprägt. Besonders erwähnenswert sind die Illustrationen in den folgenden Werken.
 Grundzuege des Eisenbahn-Maschinenbaues von Georg Meyer
 Hütte – Des Ingenieurs Taschenbuch
 Lehrbuch der Hochbau-Konstruktionen von Rudolf Gottgetreu
 Zeitschrift des Vereins deutscher Ingenieure, die Holzschnitte der frühen Jahrgänge wurden von ihm gefertigt
 Centralblatt der Bauverwaltung, seine Holzschnitte prägten die Zeitschrift etwa 20 Jahrgänge lang
 Zeitschrift für Bauwesen

Last night's 1-0 win over Watford was obviously very welcome, the three points were vital in our chase for the top four, and a clean sheet – away from home no less – was the first time we've managed that on our travels this season. All of those things tick the right boxes for me this morning, and anyone who didn't enjoy Troy Deeney's red card is dead inside, so from that point of view there were things to like about what went down at Vicarage Road.
However, if anyone tells you they enjoyed that game as a whole, you will know what kind of person they really are because their pants will be on fire. It was, frankly, torturous at times. I had steeled myself for the inevitable Watford equaliser, but thankfully it didn't come and the win took us above Chelsea and Manchester United into the top four.
The home side started quite brightly, and I worried a little that the fact we were away from the Emirates was preying on our minds. But then Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang closed down Ben Foster with a determination and a burst of pace that was Henry-esque, and the keeper's clearance rebounded off the striker and into the net to put us ahead. It wasn't great from Foster, but I think we should give Aubameyang more credit than apportion all blame to the Watford man because he played a big part in forcing the error.
So, a goal up and a man up, I expected us to take full advantage. Instead, we played within ourselves. The passing was pedestrian, we did little to make use of the extra space or the extra man, and but for Bernd Leno we might have found ourselves in some real trouble. The German saved brilliantly at his near post after Xhaka misjudged a long ball into our box, and then when Torreira was penalised for a foul outside the area, he produced a magnificent save to deny Capoue an equaliser from the resulting free kick.
First I decided to do the change of Lucas Torreira because, after the red card, the atmosphere is against him. Also, the doctor said to me in the first half that he has a little pain from Thursday's game against Napoli and I decided 'okay, it's the moment'.
The latter I get, the former not so much, because even if the Watford fans were making like Stoke fans and booing the bloke who was on the receiving end of a red card challenge, I didn't think Torreira was affected at all. Still, Ozil on for the Uruguayan couldn't be viewed as a negative, and I thought the German would help us control the game and create chances. It didn't really happen, although perhaps our best period of the game came immediately after half-time, we looked most in control.
However, Emery tinkered. Dinos Mavropanos, starting his first game in a year, looked very rusty, and when one misjudgement almost left Watford with a 2 on 1, the manager hauled him off in a hurry and put Matteo Guendouzi on. That saw us revert to a back three with Alex Iwobi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who had a terrible night, playing as wing-backs. It felt forced and makeshift, the bit of impetus we had disappeared, Watford came back into it, and Emery was forced into another change to try and make things better, this time putting on Ainsley Maitland-Niles for Aaron Ramsey who probably wasn't earmarked to play the full 90 anyway given we have Napoli on Thursday.
We did have some chances, Aubameyang missed a couple, Mkhitaryan missed the best one after Iwobi laid it on a plate for him at the back post, but the lack of conviction in the finish allowed Foster to save. The Armenian's response to that was to fire a clutch of shots increasingly wide, and it all just added to the frustration and the anxiety that was building because one moment from Watford could cost us points. That was evident when they hit the bar with a cracking shot from distance – Leno was beaten – and although the introduction of Maitland-Niles gave us a better shape and the young man was defensively aware to block another good chance for Watford, I don't think what the manager did from the bench last night really helped us at all.
As the game entered its final stages, I was picturing a hundred ways in which the inevitable Watford goal would go in. A set-piece, a scramble in the box, a penalty after a stupid challenge, Mkhitaryan finding the finish … but at the wrong end. I know it's fearing the worst but how often have we, as Arsenal fans, seen it happen? Thankfully, it didn't, and ultimately that's the most important thing. We needed the three points, we got the three points, and we go on to the next game.
And look, I absolutely understand people who say 'The performance doesn't matter, it's all about the result'. However, if the result was all we focused on this would be a very short blog.
Arsenal won. Thank you and have a good day.
Of course the fact we won is the most important thing, but it doesn't mean the performance is unimportant. Should we worry that our struggles on the road continued even though we had a massive advantage for 80 minutes or so? It'd be foolish to ignore it when three of our last five games take place away from home. The inability to properly control the game with the extra man, and the inability to score more at a point in the season when goal difference is a genuine consideration should give us some pause for thought at least. Much like the game against Rennes when Emery's changes to a 10 man Arsenal didn't do us any good, his decisions last night are open to analysis because I don't think they worked. It's not wrong to discuss those things.
On the other hand, this is a team whose away form is basically rubbish and it's going to take time to build up confidence. If this helps in any small way with that, then we can view it a positive even if watching that game last night didn't nothing for my heart and added a few more grey hairs to to my muzzle. The points were vital, we got the points, and we can be very happy about that, but as we prepare for the Italian job on Thursday – and later our trips to Wolves, Leicester and Burnley – let's not ignore the difficulties we continue to have on our travels because they inform the perception of this team to a significant extent.
If we can grind out wins in those games and do what we need to do in terms of finishing in the top four, nobody will care too much about how we play. You could even say there's a measure of character in doing it, but we have to do it first. The win itself is a green shoot, as is our first clean sheet of the season away from home, but it's only our second win away from the Emirates in ten Premier League games so there's still plenty to do in what remains of this season.
The three points are tucked nicely under our belts though, and we're back in the top four, so hopefully the players take encouragement from that as we prepare to face Napoli then Crystal Palace at the weekend.

Q: Parsing object in dart (Unsupported operation: Cannot add to a fixed-length list) I have a user object which saved to the cloud firestore database when the user Sign In / Sign Up.
So the user object is retrieved from the database when he signs in, and everything works until i try to do the 'add' operation on the list 'usersProject':
// Add the new project ID to the user's project list
user.userProjectsIDs.add(projectID);

So i get the exception Unhandled Exception: Unsupported operation: Cannot add to a fixed-length list
i believe the problem is when converting the user from json to object, because when the user is signing up the object is converted to json and stored in the database and the user will be automatically signed in using the object before converting.
void createUser(String email, String password, String username, String name, String birthDate) async {
try {
  // Check first if username is taken
  bool usernameIsTaken = await UserProfileCollection()
      .checkIfUsernameIsTaken(username.toLowerCase().trim());
  if (usernameIsTaken) throw FormatException("Username is taken");

  // Create the user in the Authentication first
  final firebaseUser = await _auth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(
      email: email.trim(), password: password.trim());

  // Encrypting the password
  String hashedPassword = Password.hash(password.trim(), new PBKDF2());

  // Create new list of project for the user
  List<String> userProjects = new List<String>();

  // Create new list of friends for the user
  List<String> friends = new List<String>();

  // Creating user object and assigning the parameters
  User _user = new User(
    userID: firebaseUser.uid,
    userName: username.toLowerCase().trim(),
    email: email.trim(),
    password: hashedPassword,
    name: name,
    birthDate: birthDate.trim(),
    userAvatar: '',
    userProjectsIDs: userProjects,
    friendsIDs: friends,
  );

  // Create a new user in the fire store database
  await UserProfileCollection().createNewUser(_user);

  // Assigning the user controller to the 'user' object
    Get.find<UserController>().user = _user;
    Get.back();

} catch (e) {
  print(e.toString());
}}

When the user is signed off then he signs in and try to make operation on the user object, here comes the problem some of the properties (the List type) can't be used.
This code creates project and add projectID to the user's list
  Future<void> createNewProject(String projectName, User user) async {

String projectID = Uuid().v1(); // Project ID, UuiD is package that generates random ID

// Add the creator of the project to the members list and assign him as admin
var member = Member(
  memberUID: user.userID,
  isAdmin: true,
);
List<Member> membersList = new List();
membersList.add(member);

// Save his ID in the membersUIDs list
List <String> membersIDs = new List();
membersIDs.add(user.userID);

// Create chat for the new project
var chat = Chat(chatID: projectID);

// Create the project object
var newProject = Project(
  projectID: projectID,
  projectName: projectName,
  image: '',
  joiningLink: '$projectID',
  isJoiningLinkEnabled: true,
  pinnedMessage: '',
  chat: chat,
  members: membersList,
  membersIDs: membersIDs,
);

// Add the new project ID to the user's project list
user.userProjectsIDs.add(projectID);

try {
  // Convert the project object to be a JSON
  var jsonUser = user.toJson();

  // Send the user JSON data to the fire base
  await Firestore.instance
      .collection('userProfile')
      .document(user.userID)
      .setData(jsonUser);

  // Convert the project object to be a JSON
  var jsonProject = newProject.toJson();

  // Send the project JSON data to the fire base
  return await Firestore.instance
      .collection('projects')
      .document(projectID)
      .setData(jsonProject);
} catch (e) {
  print(e);
}}

Here where the exception happens only when the user signs off then signs in, but when he signed up for the first time there will be no exception.
 // Add the new project ID to the user's project list
user.userProjectsIDs.add(projectID);

The sign in function
void signIn(String email, String password) async {
try {
  // Signing in
  FirebaseUser firebaseUser = await _auth.signInWithEmailAndPassword(email: email.trim(), password: password.trim());

  // Getting user document form firebase
  DocumentSnapshot userDoc = await UserProfileCollection().getUser(firebaseUser.uid);

  // Converting the json data to user object and assign the user object to the controller
  Get.find<UserController>().user = User.fromJson(userDoc.data);
  print(Get.find<UserController>().user.userName);

} catch (e) {
  print(e.toString());
}}

I think the problem caused by User.fromJson
why it makes the array from the firestore un-modifiable ?
The user class
class User {
  String userID;
  String userName;
  String email;
  String password;
  String name;
  String birthDate;
  String userAvatar;
  List<String> userProjectsIDs;
  List<String> friendsIDs;

  User(
      {this.userID,
      this.userName,
      this.email,
      this.password,
      this.name,
      this.birthDate,
      this.userAvatar,
      this.userProjectsIDs,
      this.friendsIDs});

  User.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) {
    userID = json['userID'];
    userName = json['userName'];
    email = json['email'];
    password = json['password'];
    name = json['name'];
    birthDate = json['birthDate'];
    userAvatar = json['UserAvatar'];
    userProjectsIDs = json['userProjectsIDs'].cast<String>();
    friendsIDs = json['friendsIDs'].cast<String>();
  }

  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() {
    final Map<String, dynamic> data = new Map<String, dynamic>();
    data['userID'] = this.userID;
    data['userName'] = this.userName;
    data['email'] = this.email;
    data['password'] = this.password;
    data['name'] = this.name;
    data['birthDate'] = this.birthDate;
    data['UserAvatar'] = this.userAvatar;
    data['userProjectsIDs'] = this.userProjectsIDs;
    data['friendsIDs'] = this.friendsIDs;
    return data;
  }
}

A: this works for me:
list = list.toList();
list.add(value);

A: Your JSON decoding is likely returning fixed-length lists, which you're then using to initialize userProjectsIDs in the User class. This prevent you from adding additional elements.
Change the following from the fromJson constructor:
userProjectsIDs = json['userProjectsIDs'].cast<String>();

to
userProjectsIDs = List.of(json['userProjectsIDs'].cast<String>());

A: Just add the growable argument..
If [growable] is false, which is the default, the list is a fixed-length list of length zero. If [growable] is true, the list is growable and equivalent to [].
final growableList = List.empty(growable: true);

"I haven't been told sh*t" — Frank Vogel reacts after Woj tweeted he's getting fired
Frank Vogel was speechless post-game after hearing the Los Angeles Lakers will fire him on Monday
Nicole Ganglani
© Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports
"I haven't been told sh*t, and I'm going to enjoy tonight's game, celebrate what these young guys did in terms of scratching and clawing and getting back in this game and getting a W, and we'll deal with tomorrow," Frank Vogel said after the last game of the Lakers season.
As if the past 173 days weren't dramatic enough, the Lakers' season ended on a comical and ironic note. After a spirited comeback victory (146-141) led by rookie Austin Reaves and Malik Monk against the Nikola Jokic-less Denver Nuggets, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski published a tweet about Frank Vogel's dismissal as soon as the final buzzer rang.
Call it unprofessional or untimely, but this was one hell of a rude and unforeseen way to say goodbye to a coach that led a team to a championship just 18 months ago.
Vogel, who usually carries himself with pure class and professionalism, looked lost and out of words as he did his best to stay composed during his last post-game interview as a head coach.
Instead, the defensive-minded coach turned the spotlight to Reaves and Monk, who rightfully deserved praise for their best career performances.
"I'm going to enjoy this game, what our guys did tonight. I'm proud of what our guys did tonight," Vogel, whose post-game audio was first suspiciously on mute, said.
An atrocious look for the Lakers front office
Woj's tweet might have ruined Vogel's night, but at the end of the day, the Lakers' front office, spearheaded by Rob Pelinka, Kurt Rambis, and Jeanie Buss, deserved the blame for this mess.
Nobody in the world (besides Woj, obviously) knows who leaked this information and gave the green light to the insider, but dismissing a championship coach moments after the last game of the season is a terrible look for the organization.
Unfortunately for Reaves and Monk, the duo from Arkansas had to be the ones to address the drama post-game.
"I love the man [Vogel]. He gave me a chance. This was the only team that called me in the offseason and gave me a chance. I have nothing bad to say about him. All praise goes to him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have a chance to play basketball," said Monk, who scored 41 points on Sunday and was one of the few bright spots for the Lakers this season.
Reaves, who had himself a game after putting up a triple-double of 31 points, 10 assists, 16 rebounds, plus the game-tying shot that sent the match to overtime, became the fifth Lakers rookie to record a triple-double joining Lonzo Ball, Magic Johnson, Jerry West and Elgin Baylor on the prestigious list.
Raves, the undrafted signee, also became the seventh rookie in NBA history to tally 25+ points, 15+ rebounds, and 10+ assists in a single game.
But sadly, the night wasn't about Reaves and Monk's spectacular performance. All eyes and ears were on Vogel as he deals with his reported departure in the next few days.
A fitting end to a historical disaster of a season
The Lakers end their worst contending season in franchise history with a record of (33-49) as they miss the playoffs for the seventh time in nine years. A lot of blame will go around the organization for this historic disaster of the year, from LeBron James and Anthony Davis (who both recruited Russell Westbrook) to the incompetence of the front office and ownership.
Instead of celebrating one of if not their happiest moment of the season, the Lakers ended the year falling in the most spectacular, dramatic, comical, and flashiest way.
From the reported firing of their championship coach to all the finger-pointing ongoing in the organization right now, all Lakers fans have to say is, "Thank God, this season is mercifully over."
But little do they know that this is only the appetizer for the drama that's about to come.

Okay ladies, as promised from yesterday's post, today I'm posting the process of how to use cornstarch as dry shampoo. I found this little secret from a natural beauty book a couple of years ago. I wish I could remember what book it was to give due credit! If you're the book's author, email me:) The process I discovered on my own.
1. Starting on one side of the head, make a part right above your ear using your wide tooth comb.
2. Dip your large powder brush into the cornstarch and tap excess off. Then apply generously to the part.
3. Moving about an inch above from last part, create another part.
4. Apply cornstarch generously to part again.
6. Make sure to focus your application on the crown of the head, or that area at the top back of the head, as this area tends to fall flat due to oil, and on some women with particularly thin hair, this area looks like it is thinning especially when it is oily. This is the most important area for application.
7. The second most important area for application is wherever your natural part is.
8. Don't worry about applying too much cornstarch. Of course it's easier if you tap the excess (it will lessen brushing time) but it doesn't hurt to have too much. The most important thing is to make sure you cover all the oily roots.
9. Now it's time to brush it all in so that you don't have white roots. Start by brushing it from the front to the back.
You gotta do this for a good couple of minutes to really get the cornstarch blended. I mean brush the hell out of it! I sometimes even move my brush to the back of my head with a zigzag motion to really get the "blending" action. Don't forget to brush out the area by your ears.
10. Now bend down so you can brush from the nape of your neck to the end of your hair.
When you flip your hair back up, it will be crazy big. This is when you just run your wide tooth comb through gently and give your hair some shape. I also use my fingers to "tame" the volume.
As you can also tell, with my hair looking flat, oily and lifeless, it also has a tendency to make my face look wider. Volume to your hair, especially at the top, creates the illusion of a thinner face!
Have a great weekend! Next week, I'll be giving more advice for giving volume and lift to thin hair.


KINGSTON ON – The Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) has issued a Flood Watch today for eastern Lake Ontario shorelines and areas of the upper St. Lawrence River close to the Lake.
The Surface Water Monitoring Centre of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry has issued a Provincial Flood Watch for Lower Great Lakes Region due to storm surge.
"Sustained Winds in excess of 50 km/h from south-‐southwest transitioning into west are forecast for the Lower Great Lakes Region on Sunday through the day into the evening/overnight hours.
Residents are remined that in addition to the potential for flooding during period of high winds and waves, erosion that may occur along the shoreline is also a concern.
Property owners are also reminded to turn off electricity to buildings or structures in flood prone or low-lying areas and to move gasoline and other chemicals to higher ground. Any work along shorelines (e.g. placement of fill, armour stone, etc.) will require a permit from the CRCA. Call our office or visit our website (www.crca.ca) for further information.
CRCA staff will continue to monitor conditions, forecasts, and update statements as needed.
This Flood Watch will remain in effect until Tuesday, October 17, 2017.

A mother has removed her autistic son from a school where she alleges he was restrained in a chair "like an animal" and the matter has been reported to the police.
The mother, who wants to be identified only by her first name Deirdre, withdrew her son Harry over ongoing conflict with the school.
Autism Eye can identify the school the child attended for the first time as Knockavoe School & Resource Centre, in Strabane, Northern Ireland.
The mother reports that details emerged after the school sent pictures to Harry's family as part of a class report.
She describes the images as showing him being restrained in a chair with what appear to be straps around his waist and feet.
She has said he was in the chair for learning, playing and feeding.
The boy, who is now seven, was five years old at the time of the alleged incidents between September 2016 and June 2017.
Harry can drop to the floor or run when he does not want to co-operate. As he is non-verbal he struggles to communicate in other ways.
Deirdre reports complaining to social services to consider whether the incident was "physical abuse". Harry's family say that the matter has also been reported to the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
Deirdre says the chair was designed for children who need to be elevated to the right position. Her son does not have these needs, she said.
He is now at home while the family look for another school. They say the incidents left him anxious and suffering panic attacks.
Both Knockavoe School and Northern Ireland's Department of Education declined to comment.


The Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) center in diamond — a spin-1 point defect formed by a substitutional nitrogen adjacent to a vacancy site — is presently the focus of intense research in areas spanning physics, chemistry, and biology. Thanks to their long spin coherence times at room temperature, NV centers within diamond nanostructures are being explored as a platform for various technologies, most notably nanoscale resolution MRI and spin-based quantum information processing. In this talk, I will discuss recent experiments on the use of NV centers for nanoscale spin sensing. In particular, I will present results on the use of near-surface NVs to detect proton spins from an organic film deposited on the diamond crystal surface (the effective sample volume being approximately (5 nm)3). I will also touch upon a technique allowing us to obtain an NV-detected proton 'free-induction-decay' without the need for nuclear spin pre-polarization. If time allows, I will discuss recent experiments with diamond nanocrystals, where we use the NV as a probe to expose other, optically-inactive paramagnetic centers within the particle and on its surface.

What does equality mean to you? If you ask people to provide their definition of equality and diversity, you're guaranteed to get a variety of answers.
Some people are wary of dealing with issues relating to equality, diversity and inclusion for fear of getting it wrong. However, under the Equality Act 2010, it is illegal to discriminate against people's gender, race, sexuality, ethnicity, abilities, disabilities, age or background in a workplace.
Therefore, employers need to understand how to deal with these potentially sensitive issues. This Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace e-learning module is designed to help.
A wide range of people would benefit from taking this Virtual College course, including anyone working in human resources, those who are involved in hiring decisions and healthcare providers.
The module is designed to improve your understanding of the meaning of equality, diversity and inclusion, and the role that individuals can play in ensuring these are never issues in a decision-making process.
Taking this course will help you to make sure that any pre-existing or even unconscious biases you have are not impacting the decisions you make in your role.
After completing this course, you will be able to download a Virtual College certificate, which you'll be able to print off so you have a hard copy for your records.
The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace course should take two to three hours to complete on average. However, this completely depends on your individual learning speed - you can proceed as fast or slow as you like.

Her former husband who sent her away is not able to turn back to take her to be to him for a wife, after that she hath become defiled; for an abomination it is before Jehovah, and thou dost not cause the land to sin which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee -- an inheritance.
"If a man divorces his wife and she leaves him to marry another, can he ever return to her? Would not such a land be completely defiled? But you have played the harlot with many lovers--and you would return to Me?" declares the LORD.
Verse 4. - The woman was held to be defiled by her second marriage, and thus by implication, the marrying of a woman who had been divorced was pronounced immoral, as is by our Lord explicitly asserted (Matthew 5:32). The prohibition of a return of the wife to her first husband, as well as the necessity of a formal bill of divorcement being given to the woman before she could be sent away, could not fail to be checks on the license of divorce, as doubtless they were intended to be.
24:1-4 Where the providence of God, or his own wrong choice in marriage, has allotted to a Christian a trial instead of a help meet; he will from his heart prefer bearing the cross, to such relief as tends to sin, confusion, and misery. Divine grace will sanctify this cross, support under it, and teach so to behave, as will gradually render it more tolerable.
