The Gold Professional Styler is one of the latest tools in GHD's line-up. It's minimalist, sleek and straightens hair effortlessly.
Should I buy the GHD Gold Professional Styler?
The GHD Gold's consistent temperature takes out much of the guesswork involved in identifying the ideal heat setting for your hair. In terms of efficiency, it's a quick job if you have fine to medium hair. Those with thick and curly hair may need more time (as you may just, enviably, have more volume to work with), but the results show. The GHD Gold's minimalist and damage-proof design makes it ideal for a daily morning routine before work (or school), for nights out or while traveling.
That said, the £139 price point for the GHD Gold does seem a tad high, but it's a price that's justifiable given that you are promised a high-quality straightener that both protects your hair and produces sleek results. We would recommend this over a budget straightener that could permanently damage hair in the long run.
GHD is a leading brand when it comes to salon quality hair styling at home. The GHD Gold Professional Styler is the latest addition to the brand's line, along with the more advanced Platinum+ Professional Styler, both among the best hair straighteners out right now.
The Gold, a 1-inch round barrel straightener, automatically reaches the steady and optimal temperature of 185 Celsius, or 365 Fahrenheit, without a temperature dial or a digital display that's found in many straighteners on the market. The result: a minimalist solution to getting sleek, straight hair in a short time – though this depends on the volume and texture of your hair.
The Gold Professional Styler costs £139/US$199 and is available directly from GHD in the UK and US. It's also available on Amazon for £139 or $199 in the US.
At this price point, it's on higher end of the range. The most basic GHD Professional Styler is available for (£109/$149) while the mid-range GHD Mini and Max Stylers retail from £119 to £135 (though both are $199 in the US).
The Gold features a sleek, rounded 1-inch barrel. This allows the versatility to both straighten hair and style curls. The body itself is minimalist, without any displays or dials, and features two glossy (sparkling) ceramic plates that feel nearly frictionless. The smoothness really gives a sense of how little resistance is there is on the plates as it glides across your hair.
We like that the grip on the GHD Gold isn't rigid either once the plates are clamped. A bit of flexibility helps the plates slide more graciously while preventing snagging.
The Styler itself is weighted but not heavy, making it a good companion for travel too. It helps that the GHD Gold offers universal voltage, which means it is compatible with any destination voltage demands. The 2.7 metres long power cord also swivels where it connects to the Styler, so you can move freely and turn the device to suit the best angle.
The Styler doesn't lock in the closed position, which you may find in other straighteners, but you do get a silicone heat guard that you can slip on after use, which keeps the prongs closed and also protects surfaces from residual heat.
The first thing you might notice about the Gold is that it doesn't have a dial or a display to control its temperature. That's because the Gold only reaches one temperature: 185 degrees or 365 Fahrenheit.
This is the ideal heat for your hair to prevent breakage and damage while maintaining glossiness. Lower temperatures tend to dry hair out due to multiple passes, while hotter temperatures can burn proteins in your hair. To prevent this, the Gold uses heat sensors inside both plates, branded as "dual-zone technology", that monitor and ensure the temperature remains consistent throughout usage.
The Styler chimes when you plug it in. The circular power button lights up once pressed and blinks until the it reaches its optimal temperature. This should take 25 seconds, though we measured a happy 21 seconds.
The GHD Gold was impressive right away as it effortlessly glided through my hair. As someone with light to medium waves, my hair took about ten minutes to complete styling in full. The ends of my hair, usually bedevilled with coarse split ends, felt smooth and soft.
On the left, you can see the natural waves in my hair. The side-by-side comparison in the middle shows my hair mid-way through the process. The last image is the final result, which took about ten minutes in total.
I would advise using the Styler with a heat protection serum (GHD has its own for £12.95 - UK only), as I could smell heated hair, but this was likely a result of me leaving the plates clamped too long. The Gold didn't snag my hair either.
We tried the Gold on thicker, curlier hair too to compare results. This required a few more passes, but the results were noticeable.
The GHD Gold made a noticeable difference when straightening thick, curly hair.
Hair felt soft, smooth and shiny. Though it wasn't pin straight, this could be achieved with more time allowed on each section. In any case, we were impressed with the Gold's standalone performance without the use of a hair brush or any serums, which is what a typical user might use at home.

Please help me, maybe anyone faced the same issue?

A: The issue might be in the Dockerfile path. I see you're using the GitHub repo as an artifact for the pipeline, but you are not referencing the artifact in the Dockerfile parameter's value.
The correct value for that parameter should be
$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/_EugeneKuhot_GrandSchool_MVP/<PATH_FOR_THE_DOCKERFILE_IN_YOUR_PROJECT>/Dockerfile

or something similar. Next to the parameter field there's a contextual menu (three dots) you can click on and will let you choose the correct path for the Dockerfile in your artifact.

GadgetsSMARTPHONES
Motorola announces Moto G Fast and Moto E (2020) with attractive prices
Moto G Fast and Moto E (2020) are Motorola's new intermediaries! Both offer acceptable specifications for the category and price that should attract less demanding consumers.
The Motorola decided two interim official in the United States: Fast Moto G and Moto E.
Both deliver acceptable specifications for the category, highlighting the low price, something that can draw the attention of many consumers.
This device has a 6.4 "IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 1560 x 720 pixels and 19: 9 aspect. Inside, we have the Snapdragon 665 processor, combined with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD.
In the camera department, there are three sensors at the rear, the 16MP primary, the 8MP wide-angle secondary and the 2MP macro tertiary. The small "hole" located in the upper left corner of the screen houses a camera dedicated to 8MP selfies.
To keep the Moto G Fast on, Motorola inserted a 4,000 mAh battery with a 10W fast charge. In software, Android 10 comes installed at the factory, with the promise of upgrading to Android 11. As a security feature, there is a fingerprint reader at the rear.
When we talk about the most basic model, it delivers a 6.2 "IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1520 x 720 pixels and 19: 9 aspect. The embedded processor is the Snapdragon 632, combined with 2GB of RAM and the same 32GB of storage , expandable again via microSD.

Q: Using map on specific column in list? I'm trying to split a dataframe in a list of dataframes and then sort each dataframe by a specific variable using map(). I thought my approach would work, but I'm obviously not correctly passing something to the function, but I'm unsure as to how to make it work. For instance, using lapply() I could do this:
library(tidyverse)
df = iris

df %>%
group_split(Species) %>%
{lapply(.,function(x) {x %>% arrange(desc(Sepal.Length))})}

Using map(), I've tried this approach but it's not working:
df %>%
group_split(Species) %>%
map(.,arrange(Sepal.Length),desc)

How can I structure this so it works? I only want to apply the map() to one of the columns as in the lapply() example.

A: df %>%
  group_split(Species) %>%
  map(~arrange(.data = .x, desc(Sepal.Length)))

or
df %>%
  group_split(Species) %>%
  map(~.x %>% arrange(desc(Sepal.Length)))

Michigan Governor Signs Legislation Allowing Biosimilar Substitution
Samantha DiGrande
The law, which was passed with broad bipartisan support in both the Michigan House and Senate, allows for biologics designated by the FDA as interchangeable to be substituted at pharmacies with appropriate communication of the substitution to both patients and physicians.
Last week, Michigan Governor, Republican Rick Snyder, signed into law recently passed legislation to create a pathway for the substitution of interchangeable biosimilars for their reference products at the pharmacy level. The law, which was passed with broad bipartisan support in both the Michigan House and Senate, allows for biologics designated by the FDA as interchangeable to be substituted at pharmacies with appropriate communication of the substitution to both patients and physicians.
According to the law, "when a pharmacist receives a prescription for a brand name drug product or biological drug product, the pharmacist may, or when a purchaser requests a lower cost generically equivalent drug product or interchangeable biological drug product, the pharmacist shall dispense a lower cost but not higher cost generically equivalent drug product or interchangeable biological drug product if available in the pharmacy."
Prescribers can indicate that any prescription must be dispensed as written, however. The prescriber must be notified of a substitution within 5 days, and the patient must be notified, though a timeframe for patient notification does not appear in the law. Finally, the prescription label must indicate both the name of the brand prescribed and the name of the brand dispensed.
The Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) and MichBio, a Michigan biotechnology industry group, both commended Governor Snyder for "signing critical legislation," according to a press release. The policies outlined in the bill align with BIO's principles on biologic substitution.
"House Bill 4472 enjoys the support of physicians across Michigan and the country, patient groups, and both innovator biologic and biosimilar manufacturing companies. This bill includes provisions to ensure appropriate communication on all biologic medicines dispensed, in order to maintain consistent and complete medical records. By signing this bill into law, Governor Snyder has added Michigan to the list of states that allow retail pharmacies to substitute interchangeable biologic medicines," said Jim Greenwood, BIO's president and CEO, in a statement.
"We're pleased to see Michigan adopting policies that not only support a growing industry in our state, but more importantly, facilitate patient access to lower-cost, interchangeable therapies once approved as such by the FDA. This important bill will provide patients more opportunities to address their medical needs, particularly severely ill patients who rely on complex biological treatments," added MichBio president and CEO, Stephen Rapundalo, MD.
Though the US market currently has 3 FDA-approved biosimilars available, while another 6 have yet to launch, the agency continues to develop a pathway for the development and approval of safe and effective biosimilar products. To date, no drug developer has applied for or received an interchangeable designation from the FDA for a biosimilar drug.

Commander Philip Hastings Irwin (1 November 1884 – 12 January 1958) was an English cricketer and Royal Navy officer. Irwin was a right-handed batsman. He was born at Didsbury, Lancashire.

Irwin was an acting sub-lieutenant in the Royal Navy in 1905. It was in September of that year that he was given the full rank of sub-lieutenant. In April 1907, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. Irwin made his debut for the Royal Navy in first-class cricket against the British Army at Lord's in June 1914, a match in which he scored his maiden half century in his first innings, with a score of 66 opening the batting.

Irwin served in the Royal Navy during World War I, and at some point during the conflict he obtained the rank of lieutenant commander. Following the war, he was promoted to the rank of commander on 31 December 1918. In June 1919 he made a second first-class appearance for the Royal Navy, in a match against Cambridge University at Fenner's, making scores of 2 and 0 in a heavy loss for the Royal Navy. Irwin later joined Cornwall, most likely while posted at HMNB Devonport in Plymouth, with his debut for the county coming against Devon in the 1921 Minor Counties Championship. He played Minor counties cricket for Cornwall until 1925, making 41 appearances during that time. Playing for Cornwall made Irwin eligible to be selected for a combined Minor Counties team, appearing in one first-class match for the team in 1924 against HDG Leveson Gower's XI at The Saffrons, Eastbourne. Dismissed for a duck by Francis Browne in their first-innings, he improved in their second-innings with a score of 80, his second first-class half century. In that same season he appeared in another first-class match for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Oxford University at Lord's, though he had little success in this match.

After retiring from the Royal Navy, Irwin joined the Foreign Office as a Vice consul in the General Consular Service. Irwin was later added the British Army reserve list with the rank of captain shortly after the start of World War II in September 1939. He served at some point in the war with the Black Watch, continued to serve with them until 1948, when age forced him to relinquish his command, after which he was granted the honorary rank of major.

Irwin later died at Saint Peter Port, Guernsey, on 12 January 1958. His grandfather, Frank Wright, was a first-class cricketer in the 1820s and 1830s.

Olympics minister Seiko Hashimoto has said that the Olympic games are still scheduled to go on as planned but Japan will be allowed to postpone the game until later this year should the need arise according to their contract with International Olympic Committee, as long as the games are held in 2020.
I a statement to parliament, Hashimoto said:
"We are doing all we can to ensure that the Games go ahead as planned."
"The contract calls for the games to be held within 2020. That could be interpreted as allowing a postponement,".

"Given the ongoing disruption caused by the coronavirus outbreak, I urge the Olympic Committee to seriously consider how London could stand ready to host the Olympics should the need arise," Shaun Bailey said.
"We have the infrastructure and the experience, and if I am elected I will make sure London is ready to host the biggest sporting celebration again if we are called on in an hour of need."
The offer by London has been met with hostility from Japan who see London trying to steal the Olympics and all the benefits that come with hosting it away from them.

It's been a very busy first half of the year at BKeeney Software. We've just finished up three medium sized web apps. One was deployed to Windows Server, one deployed to a Linux web server, and the last to Xojo Cloud. We've done a couple of small web apps to a Xojo friendly host too. I will describe our experiences below.
The first project was a CRM project where we converted a really old MS Access and ACT! system to Xojo. The UI wasn't all that complicated but the data conversion was a pain since it was so dirty. We ended up using a MySQL database server.
Since we didn't want to go through the hassle of getting an IIS server we made the decision to deploy as a standalone app. The hardest part of the whole installation was figuring out how to create the service. We ended up using NSSM – the Non-Sucking Service Manager http://www.nssm.cc to create the service. After that, installation and updates were a breeze by simply stopping the service, changing the files, and restarting the service. We are able to VPN into the server and copy the necessary files over.
The server was virtual and running on a VMWare server. Despite our specifications the server was set up initially with a single core (virtual) processor. Performance all the way around sucked. We complained, the client complained, and as soon as they upped it to dual core processors (as we specified) everything went smoothly after that.
The second project was another CRM-type project though a little smaller. It was using an SQLite database. We converted the data from a FileMaker database. The data was much cleaner and more straightforward so it was a relatively easy transition.
The client decided to host on Xojo Cloud so deployment is done from with the Xojo IDE. The only file we didn't deploy via the IDE was the database itself which we transferred via SFTP to the appropriate shared document directory on the Xojo Cloud server.
Xojo Cloud, for the most part, works flawlessly. There have been occasions, however, where it fails to upload properly. It's a frustrating experience, to be sure, but Xojo customer service has always been able to fix it. When it happens on a weekend you're kind of out of luck. Here are a couple of suggestions to try and get around the issue: 1) Restart your server via the Xojo control panel. 2) Change the application ID of your application and try uploading again.
Our third application has been around a while but we switched over from using SQLite to MySQL after our little db reached about three and half million rows in single table. It still worked but some of the queries were taking *minutes* to complete. The decision to move over to MySQL wasn't a hard one.
You'd think that updating an existing app would be easy. This one turned out to be anything but easy. Since this one bites a lot of people deploying Xojo web apps to various Linux distorts it's worth writing them all down.
Until Xojo web apps are 64 bit you'll have to make sure the 32 bit compatibility libraries are installed. Each is different so it's 'fun' finding them. Honestly, check on the Xojo forums to see what people have found. Hopefully, this becomes a non-issue with Xojo 2015 R3 being scheduled to compile 64 bit apps.
Make sure permissions are 775 for all files and directories *including* the overall directory. The latter one has bitten me more than once.
Make sure permissions for the config.cfg file is 664 or 666 (I've seen it both ways and I've never had a problem with either one).
Make sure the owner and group of the files matches that of the system. If you're FTP client shows owners/groups and it says something like "mixed" you've got a problem. You'll need to figure out how to change the owner/group on your own. This may involved getting SSH access. It may be easier to work through the CPanel File Manager to upload files because you're guaranteed, then, to have the right owner/group.
Make sure the .htaccess file has been uploaded. Since it's a hidden file on Mac OS X it's easy to miss this one. If you zip the output directory and then upload the zip it will be there automatically. If you're zipping the contents of the directory don't forget it!
Does the server have libicu installed? Xojo 2015 R2 requires libicu and if you don't have it your app will just crash with maybe an obscure error in the error log like "Can't find missing file." I had this happen to me this week and when I reverted to 2014 R2 the app started up right away. If you suspect you're missing a library and have SSH access, try starting the app via the command line. It will tell you what the missing library is. You don't always have SSH access so that's kind of a drag.
Not really an issue with web app deployment, per se, but it's an issue we deal with quite a bit. MySQL on Mac OS X doesn't care what the case is of a table or view. tTable (mixed case) is the same as ttable (all lowercase). On Linux and Windows this does not appear to be the case. I know there's a system variable that can turn this on or off but for this project the client had existing databases on the server and I really didn't want to muck anything up on them. Many queries that were running great on our local (Mac) system were not on the server. Switching everything to lowercase isn't a big deal (especially with ActiveRecord) but some db apps this will be a nightmare. So don't forget to test!
We have deployed to 1701 Software several times in the past six months for ourselves and for various clients. We've found their servers to be Xojo friendly from the get go (not so with most hosts) and their service is excellent. They also offer a number of database options that Xojo Cloud does not like CubeSQL and Valentina in addition to MySQL and PostgreSQL. Frankly, the fact that they are Xojo developers too makes them the top of my list of non Xojo hosting services. Their prices are pretty good too for those that are price conscious.
That is our experience with deploying Xojo web apps in the past six months. When everything works right it's incredibly easy. When it doesn't – well, you tend to swear like a sailor. Hopefully you'll find this guide to be somewhat useful. Anything I forgot?
Last week Xojo announced new features for Xojo Cloud. They now support MySQL and PostgreSQL database servers in addition to SQLite that they have supported since day one. One of the interesting features with the database support is that db admin tools that support SSL tunnels can connect to the database as if it was running locally. In my testing it was surprisingly easy to setup and use.
The first thing to do is log into your Xojo Cloud account control panel. Then simply enable either the MySQL or PostgreSQL database and enable the SSL Tunnel. In each case you will receive a username and password that you'll need to copy before moving on to the next step.
Our MySQL admin tool of choice is NaviCat. Setting it up was pretty easy to do. Create a new connection and then navigate to the SSH tab. Enter your server IP address, the username and password.
Then navigate to the General tab and enter a Name for this connection (I used Xojo Cloud). Because you're using the SSL Tunnel you need to enter 'localhost' into the Host field. Enter your Xojo supplied username and password and then test your connection.
After that, everything acts just as if the server were local to you. In this example I created a sample database named 'bkeeney' and a table called 't_temp'.
Your Xojo web application, then, will connect to it via the localhost parameter along with username and password suppled to you from Xojo. Because it's inside the firewall your web app needs to do nothing more.
Setting up a database server in Xojo Cloud really is that simple. It just works. From start to finish it only takes a few minutes to get up and running. It's a great addition to Xojo Cloud.
Xojo is really powerful because it gives you multiple ways to create really powerful controls. Today I'll discuss subclassing, extends, and containers.
First, subclassing a control is really easy to do. Create a new class and set the super to the control you are extending. A great example of this is the Xojo ListBox. In its raw form it's powerful, but limited, in its functionality. To have those awesome alternating row colors we subclass the ListBox and put our code in the CellBackgroundPaint event.
One of the things that people forget to do when subclassing the control is to repeat the events that that they are using. Because I've used the CellBackgroundPaint event it's not available to any instances of the class. Sometimes this is desirable, but sometimes you want the control to still have those events.
The solution is simple. Define a new event named CellBackgroundPaint and use the same properties and return value. This means that you, the developer, can have the alternating colors in your listbox but also still have the opportunity to override those colors if you need them.
The other powerful thing about subclassing is that you can continue to subclass them all you want. In one of our projects we have the following Listbox hierarchy: ListBox -> AlternatingRowListbox -> CustomCellListbox -> RecordsetListbox. Each one is still a Listbox, but each gets all of the events and properties of its supers so this means that the RecordsetListbox automatically gets the alternating rows even though it specializes in loading the listbox by using a Recordset.
I don't remember when the Extends method was introduced but since it was introduced the number of Subclassed items in our projects has dropped dramatically. Using Extends fails in one area and that's Properties. If you need a property for the additional functionality, you'll still need to subclass the control and add the property to the subclass.
This final method may confuse some people. Using a container control isn't a subclass nor using the extends. Containers are incredibly powerful controls in Xojo, though, because they allow you to create combinations of controls (and their subclasses) in unique and reusable ways. A great example of this is a typical Save/Cancel pair of pushbuttons on a dialog or window. On Macintosh OS X the Save button is on the right and the Cancel on the left. On Windows it's opposite. In Linux, it's the same order as Windows but the buttons have a different height.
There's nothing stopping you from adding code to every window that has this Save/Cancel combination so that they're in the proper location and height. But why? This is Xojo, a modern object oriented language! Plus, I hope you're as lazy of a programmer as I am because that's a lot of work. Use a container!
It's really as simple as that! No matter which platform I'm on the Action event from this container tells me if the user pressed save or cancel.
Why did I include Containers in this article? Good question! It's because you can think of Container Controls as a way to subclass Windows or WebPages without it being a window/page. You can reuse Containers as many places as you want and when you change the original it changes the children (be aware though that there are some caveats with this statement – especially with WebContainers). And even better is that you can dynamically add and remove containers at runtime. Adding them is simple by using the EmbedWithin commands and to remove them use the Close method (I always set their visibility to false first).
We use a LOT of containers in our consulting work. We find that it tends to simplify the code (remember being a lazy programmer isn't a bad thing). We've had windows/pages that have thousands of control and hundreds of controls visible at any given time but with a UI that complex we like to break them out into Containers. So rather than having a Navigator with a listing of thousands of controls (and their labels!) we break it out logically into containers and the Navigator has maybe a dozen containers instead.
Each container has Save, Load, Validate set of methods (sometimes this is using an Interface) and whatever other methods are required but the point is that the overall window/page doesn't need to know, or care, what the individual controls are and how to load, save, and validate their data – it only has to know enough to call the Load, Save and validate methods in each container.
With Xojo for Web, containers are even more important because you can create 'repeating rows of controls' that are very complex. We wrote an entire accounting application for a client in using Xojo for Web and as you can imagine creating an Invoice Line Item row that needs Qty, Price, Amount, Sales tax and the necessary UI to add and delete the row, void a row, make it non-taxable can be complex. Sure, we could have come up with a UI that doesn't have that in a list, but frankly, it's not that hard using WebContainers.
Containers are very powerful things and a great way to combine controls into one unit. It's also a way to create a dynamic control that can easily be added a runtime. Rather than using a ControlSet (i.e. control array) and cloning an existing control (and having to keep track of the index) you can dynamically place your container that holds your one control. We don't use this technique very often but it does come up every now and then.
Subclassing a control in Xojo is pretty easy but sometimes overkill. Using the extends method works great if you're adding methods to a class/control and don't need to add any properties. Containers are powerful constructs that let you combine controls into a reusable object that have their own events and that can be added dynamically. As a Xojo programmer you should be familiar with all three methods.
Xojo 2014 Release 2.1 was released this week. This maintenance release is huge in several important ways.
This is the last version of Xojo that will build Mac Carbon apps. The upcoming changes to the framework for iOS and 64bit (and who knows what else) have made it impossible (or at least unfeasible) for the engineering team to keep supporting the Carbon framework. So long Carbon, we have to split up. It's you, really, not me.
Since this will be the last version to support Carbon some nagging bugs were fixed in the Carbon framework. The hard crash that occurred when creating a new instance of the XMLDocument has been fixed. In addition a bunch of plugin issues for Carbon were fixed.
Cocoa apps that use RegEx will now pass submission to the Mac App Store.
A few other web bugs were fixed. WebSession.Quit now properly clean and close the Session. A bug with WebContainer.EmbedWithin used in a open event (never a recommended way, if you ask me) that would cause WebLabels and WebLinks to offset was fixed.
There were several of database class changes too. SQLite now uses FTS4 with unicode61 tokenizer on Mac OS X. MySQLCommunityServer SQLExecute and Prepared statements no longer assume the statement is UTF8 encoded. The ODBCDatabase DatabaseRecord.Insert no longer inserts the wrong value.
As always, read the release notes for additional information and Feedback ID's.
This dot release is critical for those developers still building for Carbon. iOS will (presumably) be out in Release 3 in at least beta form and the new framework is causing changes in a big way. I'm sure some of those changes will be subtle but some will be a smack to our collective faces.

Do you think that, given that Xenia exists in the underworld alongside some other morally "good" characters, that she (and possibly the others) may be reborn via Amascut (if she is ever cured of madness), or Icthlarin?
But seriously, I wouldn't rule out Xenia returning. She'd still be an idiot though. Patrolling Lore FC almost makes you wish for a Great Revision.
I would like to see The Raptor ascend to godhood somehow?
Did you talk to the wandering Xenia after doing A Tail of Two Cats? After talking about the revelation that Bob the Cat is the reincarnation of Robert the Strong, she muses that maybe someday she'll be reincarnated as a cat and future adventurers will learn her secrets.
While I'm sure that, when that speech was originally written, it wasn't intended as foreshadowing, I think it'd be a pretty neat idea if it happened. Personally, I find it amusing to imagine some of Xenia's dialogue in the meetings at the Guilds and such being mostly the same, but coming from a cat.
So yes, such a thing (as long as there's a Catspeak Amulet, Humanspeak Amulet such as the one Evil Bob uses, or just a special ability) could allow Xenia to resume her position as an advisor/historian but with less opportunity for the questionable behavior (such as allowing Illona or Phillipe to be put in danger but claiming she'd step in if you couldn't handle it, and so on).
I hope they all meet their doom one way or another. Goodbye Xenia, Be seeing you Owen, Cheerio Linza.
Ozan looks to be next with the Desert finale! Can't expect to stop Amascut without a casualty or two.

Never heard of that dialogue. Patrolling Lore FC almost makes you wish for a Great Revision.
Apparently the afterlife made her soft, so no she can stay dead and rot in her own personal hell with Zanik. Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain. An all encompassing force of evil that will remain ever-threatening and use chaos to make the peoples of Gielinor tolerate each other, grow strong together, and fight side by side against this evil. I am that villain.

I would enjoy Cat Xenia.
I, too, would enjoy Cat Xenia.
But I dunno, I feel she'd want to move on after her work in the afterlife. As fun as a feline rebirth would be, she wants to be reunited with her son.


I've always loved Bananas and they are in the news today as to how they are good at preventing strokes and lowering blood pressure, below are a few more facts about bananas. As you can see the humble banana is a fantastic superfood. OK compared to other fruits it contains more calories, but it is filling and makes an ideal snack to replenish energy and stave off hunger.
Bananas contain a prebiotic called fructooligosaccharide (FOS). Prebiotics are natural substances found in many fruits and vegetables that nourish the good bacteria in the colon. FOS serves an important role because the good bacteria, such as Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus acidophilus, help to strengthen the immune system, inhibit the growth of bad bacteria, increase the absorption of minerals such as calcium, and are being studied for a potential role in preventing some types of cancer.
Banana fruit is one of the high calorie tropical fruits. 100 g of fruit provides 90 calories. Besides, it contains good amounts of health benefiting anti-oxidants, minerals, and vitamins.
Banana pulp is composed of soft, easily digestible flesh with simple sugars like fructose and sucrose that when eaten replenishes energy and revitalizes the body instantly; thus, for these qualities, bananas are being used by athletes to get instant energy and as supplement food in the treatment plan for underweight children.
The fruit contains a good amount of soluble dietary fiber (7% of DRA per 100 g) that helps normal bowel movements; thereby reducing constipation problems.
It contains health promoting flavonoid poly-phenolic antioxidants such as lutein, zea-xanthin, ß and α-carotenes in small amounts. These compounds help act as protective scavengers against oxygen-derived free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that play a role in aging and various disease processes.
It is also a very good source of vitamin-B6 (pyridoxine), provides about 28% of daily-recommended allowance. Pyridoxine is an important B-complex vitamin that has a beneficial role for the treatment of neuritis, and anemia. Further, it helps decrease homocystine (one of the causative factors in coronary artery disease (CHD) and stroke episodes) levels within the body.
The fruit is an also moderate source of vitamin-C (about 8.7 mg per 100g). Consumption of foods rich in vitamin-C helps the body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful oxygen-free radicals.
Fresh bananas provide adequate levels of minerals like copper, magnesium, and manganese. Magnesium is essential for bone strengthening and has a cardiac-protective role as well. Manganese is used by the body as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase. Copper is required in the production of red blood cells.
Fresh banana is a very rich source of potassium. 100 g fruit provides 358 mg potassium. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps control heart rate and blood pressure, countering bad effects of sodium.
Eating more bananas – and cutting down on crisps – could prevent thousands of stroke deaths, say researchers.
The potassium-rich fruit helps drive down blood pressure levels, as does lowering your salt consumption in snacks like crisps.
A study found people with a high potassium intake had 24 per cent less risk of stroke.
Previous data suggested older people could be harmed by potassium as their kidneys may be less able to remove it from their blood.
But the research, on journal website bmj.com, said these fears can be dismissed. It found potassium did not negatively affect kidney function.
The authors said there was 'high quality evidence' that people with high blood pressure improved when they increased their potassium intake.
They analysed 128,000 people over 33 trials and said consuming more of the mineral, for example by eating bananas, is 'potentially beneficial to most people'.
Bananas are one of the most common foods to be rich in potassium. Each one contains around 420mg, well on the way to the daily adult allowance of 3,500mg.
There are around 53,000 deaths in the UK each year from stroke, with a further 100,000 survivors, some left with severe disability.
Another study on the website found slightly reducing salt intake for four weeks or more led to a significant fall in blood pressure – and so reduced risk of stroke and heart attack.
Dr Clare Walton of the Stroke Association said a healthy diet was a key part of managing stroke risk.
She said: 'High blood pressure is the single biggest risk factor for stroke. Making changes to your diet can go a long way to keeping blood pressure under control.
The Department of Health advises older people should not take potassium supplements unless advised by a doctor.


We live in such a complex world that humans need some structure to manage life. The simplest way to create a sense of order is to put ideas, people, and data into separate spatial, social, and metal boxes. Specialisation and expertise usually deliver progress. Silos help us to tidy up the world, classify or arrange our lives, economies, and institutions. They encourage accountability.
Silos can also cause damage. People who are organised into specialist teams can end up fighting with each other and wasting resources. Isolated departments, functional areas, or teams of experts, may fail to communicate, and thus overlook dangerous and costly risks. Fragmentation can create information bottlenecks and stifle innovation. Silos can create tunnel vision, or mental blindness, which causes people to do stupid things.
The world is littered with examples of damage caused by silos, e.g. the great financial crash of 2008, the fall of Sony, the financial disaster of UBS, and many others.
Sociologist Bourdieu's research revealed that human society creates thought and classification systems which people use to arrange space, people, and ideas. These cultural and mental maps are not deliberate, but arise from semiconscious instinct. These maps seem natural and inevitable to individuals. They shape how people behave and think.
The maps described not only what is publicly and overtly stated, but also what is not discussed.
We describe these mental maps of the world as Drives. The Drives help us to understand individual differences between people, and why groups who have been formed into teams to achieve organisational outcomes end up as tribes in conflict with other tribes.
Understanding behaviours and the tendency towards unhealthy silos allows us to address this difficult and often perplexing problem. The risks arising from disfunctional silos are huge, as many organisations have found, and the task is not easy. But understanding behaviours and following structured approaches provides the understanding and pathway to effective management of silos.


Under the provisions of Bill 109: Municipal Ethics and Good Conduct Act (2010, c. 27), every municipality must adopt a code of ethics and professional conduct for elected officials. This is to ensure the explicit adherence of all council members of a municipality to its own core values in terms of ethics, to provide for the adoption of rules of conduct, and determine mechanisms for implementation and monitoring of these rules. The values set out in the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct must guide any person to whom it applies in assessing the ethical rules that apply to it.
Identify mechanisms for implementation and monitoring of these ethical rules.
The entry into force of the Ethics and Professional Conduct in Municipal Matters Act (LEDMM) on 2 December 2010 gives citizens an additional means to inform the Quebec Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Regions and Land Occupancy concerning breaches of established ethics and professional conduct rules of elected officials.
Breaches of the code of ethics and professional conduct of a municipality may be the subject of an investigation by the Quebec Municipal Commission. To this end, a request must be submitted to the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry who will conduct a preliminary examination of the complaint.
These requests will be subject to special treatment that requires the application be written under oath, motivated and accompanied, where appropriate, any supporting documents.
The processing of such request by the Ministry shall not exceed a period of 15 days beginning at the time the complaint is deemed complete. If the record meets the eligibility criteria under the law, that is to say that the request is not frivolous or vexatious and is not unfounded, it will be forwarded to the Municipal Board of Quebec.
In addition, the application may be deemed admissible only if the observed shortcomings relate to the actions of an elected official after the entry into force of the Code.
The Act establishing the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Land Occupancy provides that the Minister may give advice and guidance and make recommendations to a municipal body on any aspect of its administration. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Land Occupancy tracks the guidelines that have been issued and can assist organizations in their implementation.

A hapless thief has been locked up after a failed attempt at a trolley dash supermarket theft.
Daniel Fletcher and an accomplice tried to flee Tesco, in Kingston Park, Newcastle, with a trolley filled with more than £600-worth of booze and groceries.
The 29-year-old, who was on a suspended sentence for theft at the time, hadn't realised he was being watched by CCTV cameras as he helped himself to the goods around the store and panicked when he was approached by staff at the entrance.
A court heard that dad-of-four Fletcher tried to run with the trolley from the scene but was detained 100 metres up the road by a security guard.
The thief, who has 25 offences on his record, was due before magistrates in North Tyneside earlier this month but failed to show and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
He finally appeared at the court on Thursday, where he was jailed for 18 weeks after pleading guilty to one count of shop theft and one of failing to surrender to custody.
Prosecutor, Rebecca Gibson, said Fletcher, of Elizabeth Street, in Sunderland, and his accomplice entered Tesco on October 20 last year and immediately drew the attention of staff.
"Essentially, a security guard is called to the entrance door to stop two males trying to leave the store with a trolley full of goods," Mrs Gibson added.
"He ran after the males, across the car park and stopped them 100 metres up the road."
The court heard that the two men were arrested after police arrived and all the £638.92-worth of stolen goods were recovered.
David Parish, mitigating, said Fletcher had been struggling financially, adding: "He couldn't make ends meet on Universal Credit.
"He accepts he's gone to the shop and taken items in order to support himself and his family. It's unsophisticated and he's spotted on CCTV straight away."
Magistrates also ordered that Fletcher pay a £128 victim surcharge.

Almost everyone has a tension headache from time to time. These headaches do not have an underlying cause. They are so common they are considered to be "garden-variety" headaches.
The main symptom of a tension headache is a sense of tightness around the head, according to the National Headache Foundation (NHF). Neck and shoulder muscles often become tense and sore to the touch. This contributes to the intensity of a tension headache. The headache may last only a few hours, or it may linger for a day or more.
For tension headaches that occur less than 3 times a week, over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers like aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen are usually effective. Medications that combine pain medication with caffeine may help some people, but they can be habit-forming. Don't use any OTC pain reliever more than 2 days or 3 days a week. Using OTC pain relievers more often than that can actually cause rebound headaches, the NHF says. These are headaches that return when you stop taking the medication. They can sometimes be even worse than the original headaches.
Try relaxation practices like deep breathing, yoga, or meditation. Many people find progressive muscle relaxation helpful. Tense 1 muscle group at a time, then completely release the tension until every muscle group in the body is relaxed.
A healthier lifestyle that promotes general good health also may help prevent headaches. Follow a regular eating and sleeping schedule. Regular aerobic exercise, like walking, swimming, or biking, can help reduce how often you get tension headaches. If you already have a headache, exercise may help lessen the pain. Just be sure to drink fluid while exercising since dehydration can make headaches worse.
Give yourself a massage to relieve tension. Gently rub the muscles of your head, neck, and shoulders with your fingertips.
Apply heat or ice to sore neck and shoulder muscles. Use a heating pad set on low, a hot-water bottle, a warm compress, or a hot towel. If you use ice, wrap it in cloth to protect your skin.
If you often have tension headaches more than twice a week, see your health care provider. You may benefit from taking a medication before you experience the next headache.

We love the early part of the summer season. That cool breeze in the early morning makes it really difficult to leave the beds. You get to wear all kinds of dresses and eat chilled foods. Summer evenings are also lovely as summers are an aesthetic and beautiful break from the winters. But, once the temperatures rise, it becomes tough. In India, summers are becoming too hot and unbearable, so this summer season, plan an exciting getaway. We have compiled a list of the coldest places in the world that are also the most beautiful ones. You can plan an amazing tour there and enjoy some chills to soothe that summer heat.
Does the word 'Denali' ring a bell? It belongs to the Twilight series. Going by the name of Mt. Mckinley, this is one of the coldest mountainous landscapes on the earth. The snow-covered mountains overlooking the green forests are simply awesome. The winters sometimes get really severe here. This should be in your travel plan as this is one of the best places to be if you are an adventurous person. Mountain Climbing, Camping, Forest Trails and Winter Sports are some exciting activities. If you are planning for the adventurous trip, you can check out for the best flights. You can use the Spicejet coupon code and enjoy your summers at Denali this year.
Though the whole nation is full of exciting and wonderful places, the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve is the jewel. It has everything – water bodies, mountains, plateaus, and valleys. You can enjoy many adventure activities here. Hiking, mountain climbing, camping, mountain trails and exploring the wildlife – the list is amazing.
Canada is also a beautiful place that has plenty of nature and plenty of snow. Well, the place we are suggesting is a weather station. You don't have much company here except the staff. However, it is a good place to explore in peace and enjoy. You get to reflect on your life and goals clearly. Some days spent aloof will work magic on your city-life tired nerves.

The festival of Karva Chauth spreads the message of pure and divine love in a delightful manner- love that exists between two souls. The intriguing bond of a husband and wife that is shared through a lifetime once they are joined together by marriage is clearly depicted through this festival.
The sacred Indian festival of matrimony is observed to symbolize the spirit of true love that can overcome all hurdles of life and to prove that no matter what , love always gives strength to make impossible tasks fruitful. It is also celebrated to eulogize the well-known love saga of Savitri and Satyavan. In this festival, married women fast from sunrise to moon rise to pray for a long life of their husbands. Nowadays, not only the wife, sometimes even the husband keeps fasts. This fast is broken after the full moon appears in the night sky and the prayers and rituals have been conducted.
Bollywood never fails to mesmerize us with its amazing lists of Karva Chauth songs. This Karva Chauth, let us rejoice in the world of love through these songs.
This romantic song sung by famous singers Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan will let you feel the magic aura and beauty of the full moon in the dark and heavenly night sky . This song depicts the wish of everyone to see the moon soon so that they can pray and break their fast and celebrate the powerful emotion of love that creates a unique and beautiful bond.
This song from Dilwala Dulhania Le Jayenge clearly depicts that even though two lovers are separated by distance, love is always there and doesn't die or separate. The song describes about the longing of a woman for her beloved to come home so that they can celebrate the festival of love together. The sound of the cuckoo rekindles the love of the lady and every sight and sound of nature and her village makes her strongly yearn to see her lover.
This soulful song sung by singer Sadhana Sargam beautifully expresses the sacred meaning of love that forms the basis of a relationship. The song tells about the wish and prayer of a lady to spend her life happily with her life partner.
Sung by Asha Bhosle, in a melodious voice, this song from the 1965 film Bahu Beti will surely make your elders nostalgic and is a must for you to include in your playlist. This song was composed at a time when traditions and rituals were closely followed. This song will really mesmerize you and touch your heart as it shows how the ladies were praying for each other with so many wishes and dreams.
Another song to impress your elders this Karva Chauth. This song from the 1978 film Karwa Chouth sung by Usha Mangeshkar explains clearly about the significance of the sacred fast of Karva Chauth.
This evergreen Bollywood song needs no introduction and will certainly be in your playlist.It is also quite a popular wedding song. This song is so good to dance with your companions and has been ruling every Indian wedding and yes , Karva Chauth too.
So guys, enjoy this beautiful festival of Karva Chauth with your beloved. Happy Karva Chauth!

Q: CoreData: Light-weight migration from xcdatamodel version n to n+5 Let's say a user has MyApp2.xcdatamodel installed on their iPhone and that they have not upgraded their app for a while. Now the current version of the app uses MyApp7.xcdatamodel. Will the ligthweight migration mechanism be able to migrate smoothly the data to the current model?
My assumption is yes as long as MyApp3.xcdatamodel, MyApp4.xcdatamodel, MyApp5.xcdatamodel and MyApp6.xcdatamodel are available.
Can anyone confirm this assumption?
Thanks in advance,
Joss.

A: Your assumption is correct. As long as you have all the models in your project this will work.

If you're getting into archery you need one bow but you need more arrows. Different set ups will demand different things of your arrows. There are a couple of things to keep in mind before picking out the arrows you will use.
Length is a determining factor when selecting your arrows. An arrow that is too short can be dangerous, while an arrow that is too long can make you lose precision. The ideal length for your arrows depends on your draw length. To find out your draw length, you'll need to test out a bow. There's likely to be an archery range not too far from your home or work. Take the bow in your hands and then, without using an arrow, standing in the shooting position. The distance between the string (where you would place the nock of your arrow) and the clicker (just beside the arrow rest) is your draw length. Ease the string back into its original position, without releasing it, in order not to damage the bow.
The ideal length of your arrow is your draw length plus 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 4cm). Decathlon recommends you do not choose arrows that are too short if there is a risk of your draw length increasing. The draw length of an archer who is still growing or developing can often increase rapidly.
These are ideal for short and medium distances. They are a little heavy for long distances. Aluminium shafts have a long lifespan. Aluminium arrows are ideal for beginners and their weight reduces the effects of a bad release or a mistake with the bow arm.
These are very well suited to long distances. They are solid and keep their shape, are lighter than aluminium arrows, and also hit the target better than aluminium arrow.
Wooden arrows are rarely used. They are mainly used for archery using a longbow.
After you've made your decision on which arrows you'd prefer, don't forget to kit yourself out with a quiver, a finger tab, an arm guard, a sight and an arrow rest. These are the basic minimum components of an archer's equipment.


Telomerase Suppliment GNC is not available and can only be supplied by Isagenix under the licensed name of Product B.
The long term health benefits of Telomerase suppliments have been well documented now since lab studies and clinical trials began back in 2005. The discovery of Noble prize winning scientist, Dr Bill Andrews of the effect on telemeres with telomerase has gained incredible interest from people desiring to wind back the clock on their body's aging process.
The effect of telomerase, (Product B) has been shown to restore the length of the body's core unit, the cell. With lengthening of telemeres comes the decrease in risk of major diseases, including cancer, heart and liver disease, dementia and other degenerative disorders.
At present there is no low cost commercial telomerase product with the TA – 65 costing ten's of thousands, making it unaffordable for the average person. All that is about to change come August 13, 2011 when the hugely successful weight loss corporation Isagenix release Product B. Be among the first to experience the benefits of this amazing scientific break through by subscribing to receive early notification of it's availability. With demand for this product running strong, you will not want to miss out. So subscribe by filling in the form on the top right side of this page today.

"The usher goes down to the dugout, comes back with the Babe..."
Bob Panara and Greg Livadas
When Bob Panara was 10 years old, he became deaf. He tells his friend Greg Livadas about his father arranging for him to meet his childhood hero—Babe Ruth—in the hope that the shock would help his hearing return, and what Brooks Robinson later did to become his idol.
Originally aired July 31, 2009, on NPR's Morning Edition.

Bob Panara (BP) and Greg Livadas (GL)
BP: My father knew how much I loved baseball. And Babe Ruth was my hero. And this is 1931. So he wrote to the Yankees and he asked if I could possibly meet the Bambino, and they arranged it. So, we went to the ball game that day — we sat about ten rows from the field — and before the game, my father gives the letter from the Yankees to the usher. [The] usher goes down to the dugout, comes back with the Babe. Big fellow, huge. He says, "Hi kid! How you doing?" Shaking hands with the Bambino was a dream come true. And later on, I realized, my father, he was trying to get my hearing back.
GL: So your father thought that the shock of meeting him—
BP: Oh yes, the Bambino, wow! [laughs] But I still remained as deaf as a post. [laughs] And I remember later on taking my son to Memorial Stadium. After the game, my son says, "Hey Dad, I have a ball. I would like one of the players to sign it." Brooks Robinson, the third baseman, came out and I said, "Hey Brooks! Excuse me, but my son wonders if you can give him an autograph." Brooks, he looks at me, and then he signs with his hands, "Are you deaf?" I said, "Hey! You know sign language! Where did you learn?" He said, "Well, I grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas, only blocks from the School for the Deaf. So I used to play with the deaf kids." He became my idol after that. Anyway, to this day, I live, breathe and die baseball. I look at it as my religion. The stadium, it's my second home. [laughs]

ASIAN AWAKENINGS: ALICIA LITTLE AND THE LIMITS OF ORIENTALISM
Journal: Victorian Literature and Culture / Volume 37 / Issue 1 / March 2009
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 March 2009, pp. 11-25
Visiting a missionary school for girls in the central Chinese city of Chungking in the early 1890s, British writer Alicia Little entertained some disquieting thoughts about instilling Western values in Chinese children. Her reflections in Intimate China on the benefits and hazards of such teaching instance Britain's increasingly conflicted views of China in the last decades of the nineteenth century. On the one hand, the passage manifests the long-held Victorian view that the Chinese mind and culture had lain dormant for at least a century and needed Western aid to awaken them to their full potential. On the other hand, her unease about children made "susceptible of outside influences" admits both to the limited effects of Western teaching on entrenched Chinese traditions and to the dubious advantages of alienating individuals from the values of the country that must house their futures. Writing some thirty years after the Second Opium Wars, which formally opened China to foreign traders, travelers, and missionaries, and less than a decade before the Boxer Rebellion, in which thousands of foreigners and Chinese Christians were massacred in retaliations against Western influences, Little's observations foreground pivotal problems in Britain's evolving relationship with China as well as dispute conventional models of East-West relations in the nineteenth century.
