Here's your periodic reminder: "America's Senator" Jeff Sessions not only defends Antifa, but also does their legal work for them as Attorney General. He's worse than the Cuban and the Mormon.
Yeah Jeff, laugh over those "lock her up" chants. Trouble is, when the audience is thinking of Hillary Clinton as "her," Antifa Jeff is probably thinking of some Alt Lite bimbo. Or maybe Mudshark Annie herself.
An anti-pan-European Counter-Currents ethnonationalist comments on some stupidity from anti-White mestizo Vox Day.
First, why do Whites listen to the likes of Vox Day or Chechar? Latinos, White-Amerind mixes, and the like should mind their own racial business and let Whites sort out their relationships among themselves. As far as Counter-Currents, well, the dastardly Richard Spencer must be opposed, so let's "diss" pan-Europeanism, while at the same time promoting the Cult of Saint Francis of Yockey, the patron saint of Western Empire. It's all a clown show. How can all the Type Is take any of these idiots seriously? Then again, if they had the sense to realize the inconsistencies, they wouldn't be Type Is to begin with.
All these people are fundamentally dishonest. On the one hand, you have self-described racially-mixed civic nationalists (hint to Counter-Currents morons: civic nationalism is not an acceptable substitute for racial nationalism, it is its enemy, in the same way para-fascism and real fascism are deadly enemies, and how the Mainstream Right is opposed to the Beavis-and-Butthead Alt Right) essentially assert that the state of White America in 2018 is the same as in 1918, or perhaps 1863 with natives fighting Dead Rabbits. The ethnonationalists knock down pathetic strawman representations of pan-Europeanism as wanting to erase European ethnic and national identities, when even Saint Francis repeatedly asserted that even he – the Avatar of Western Empire – supported the preservation of local identities, complete with local sovereignty. All they do is lie,lie,lie, and I have refuted these people so many times it has become boring.
Remember – keep on listening to HBD musclemen and race-mixing gamesters and eat that high fat diet!
If they're wrong about almost everything else, why not about diet and exercise as well?
There are also associations between a high fat diet and cancer risk. Build dem muscles! I don't know… maybe you can slip in some steroids along with the chemotherapy?

Tehran … evil devours self
Ahmed Al-Jarallah Editor-in-Chief, the Arab Times
THE regime in Iran has entered a new phase of crisis with the resignation of Foreign Affairs Minister Muhammad Javad Zarif who spearheaded his country's international relations for quite some time.
It seems the issue, which brought everything down, was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ignoring protocols during the visit of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad.
This occurred after the regime's head of diplomacy failed to resolve the issue concerning Tehran's ambassador to the Republic of Kenya who was caught up in a row as he attempted to smuggle two Revolutionary Guards terror suspects from Nairobi.
In addition, Tehran has failed several times in the past few months to stop the negative effect of the US withdrawal from the nuclear agreement and Iran has been unable to persuade other capitals to abide by the agreement. This led to internal dispute in the authority in Tehran. Therefore, the resignation of Zarif is an indication of crisis entrenched in Iran's central command.
Similar failures appeared in economic, living and oil policies. The government has failed to achieve any breakthrough as per the tendencies of the Revolutionary Guard — the actual power in Iran. Hence, this resignation came as a surprise to further complicate the internal situation. This is another indication of the fall of Hassan Rouhani's government. It entails the return of protests, strikes and even toppling of the regime.
The supreme Iranian political leadership caused this situation. Since 1979, the leadership has been transforming Iran's embassies and consulates into spy hubs and shelters for terrorists while securing support for terrorists.
The recent incident in Nairobi is not the end; given that in the past, Iran engaged in a similar crisis in Belgium, Germany, France, Sweden, Argentina, Morocco, Kuwait, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. It has been using elements of the Revolutionary Guard to commit crimes against pilgrims in the Muslims' most sacred place on Earth.
A criminal usually denies committing the crime, while presenting justifications to make him appear as the victim. The regime in Iran has been doing this since it started its terrorist acts in Beirut in the early 1980s, during which it turned its embassies into jails for foreign hostages.
Nonetheless, Iran's Foreign Affairs Ministry has always addressed the issue through a statement of denial. In fact, it accuses what it refers to as the international force of bullying.
This unusual diplomatic situation has prompted many world capitals to sever ties with Tehran, reduce the level of diplomatic representation or intensify sanctions. As a result, the internal living condition has become appalling. This is clearly manifested in the exit of Zarif from the government. Apparently, the best way to fight evil is to let it devour itself.

Richard Nixon was perhaps the most controversial figure to ever hold the office of president. Elected to the House of Representatives in 1947, he went on to serve as a U.S. Senator and Dwight Eisenhower's vice-president.
Running for president in 1960, Nixon met with political defeat when he lost to John F. Kennedy in one of the closest presidential elections in U.S. history. After losing the 1962 election for governor of California, he "retired from politics," only to reenter the political arena as the 1968 Republican candidate for president. In one of the most extraordinary political comebacks ever, he defeated Hubert Humphrey to become our 37th president.
As president, Nixon won respect for his foreign policy. Reopening relations with our communist adversaries, he became the first president to visit China and the Soviet Union. While in Moscow, he signed agreements opening trade and limiting nuclear arms production. Renominated in 1972, Nixon defeated George McGovern in a landslide victory.
Although he went on to successfully end U.S. participation in Vietnam, his second term was dominated by the Watergate scandal. On August 9, 1974, faced with almost certain impeachment, Richard Nixon became the first president to resign from office.

Terrell Owens? Enough already
The difference between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots?
Well, this. Name me one wide receiver who plays for the Patriots.
And then there's Terrell Owens.
Take him, please.
It's not even Super Bowl week yet and already I'm sick and tired of hearing about Terrell ("me comes first'') Owens.
Bet you are, too.
Owens severely sprained his right ankle and fractured his lower right fibula in a Dec. 19 game against the Dallas Cowboys. Even without their star receiver the Eagles somehow -- shall we call it a miracle? -- beat the Vikings and Falcons to advance to the Super Bowl, where they'll play the Patriots on Feb. 6.
But is Owens going to be ready to play?
He says, yes.
His surgeon says he won't clear Owens to play.
The Eagles' head trainer, Rick Burkholder, talks about the "risk-reward'' of Owens playing.
TV cameras, radio microphones and writer's notebooks are all over the story.
Eagles coach Andy Reid said he'll wait and see.
Eagles fans are biting their nails in anticipation. Will he or won't he?
The rest of us? We'll yell and scream and kick our feet everytime there's another Owen's story and yearn for the days when all we had to talk about was Randy Moss' shenanigans in Green Bay.

DMV Producer Judah Talks Wale, the Decline of Go-Go, and Working Smarter
by Joe Warminsky August 6th, 2012 October 8th, 2020
After years as one of the DMV's busiest hip-hop producers and perhaps the region's most dutiful cheerleader, Timothy "Judah" Matthews is trying to figure out what comes next. He's still got plenty to say, but he's trying to be more efficient in how he says it. His website, For the DMV Only, still posts all the local music that it can get its hands on, but sometimes it looks like it's on autopilot. He's got a relationship with a major label (EMI), and is only a few months past the release of a smart and idiosyncratic album, P.U.S.S.Y., but he sounds like a man who is looking for some different challenges. We talked recently about how his career has stacked up, how the DMV is doing and the lessons that up-and-comers would be wise to learn. Here's an edited version of the conversation.
Washington City Paper: Are you actually working on music right now? Timothy "Judah" Matthews: I'm not right now … I've kind of relaxed, and chilled with the current climate. There's not really nothin' out there that's really holdin' me. People bring artists to me, and I haven't really been intrigued with any artist, I really haven't been inspired by any artist. The game is just crazy right now. Nobody's sellin' records, a lot of producers are doin' stuff for free. No creativity. There's nothin', man. And it's just draining. … I'm really just taking time to fall back. I'm actually switching over from the [Akai] MPC to the computer-based stuff. I stopped messin' with the MPC a little bit and I'm messin' with the Maschine now and learning that. I'm using the Maschine and a plugin, I tried Reason and I didn't really like the way it worked. I like the Maschine because it feels like an MPC but it's just software.
So I've been just getting back to stuff that I love, like BMX bikes—-I build BMX bikes, design BMX bikes. I've been ridin' those and traveling, going to talk to music people, and just livin' life, man, having fun and meetin' people and doin' some things that I want to do now. I'm still doing music, but it has to be a good situation.
WCP: When you're not doing music, what are you doing to make money? J: Well, I still have the studio [The Syence Lab, based in Temple Hills, Md.], the studio's been open for 12 years now. The studio is still goin' full steam, y'know, it's constantly booked, four or five times a week.
WCP: That's your base income, then? J: Yeah, the studio, and also I have companies, too. I have a real-estate company where we rent out rental properties to people that have been displaced by fire, earthquake, flood—-through the insurance companies. I have property all over the DMV, y'know, where I rent property out to people that have been displaced by natural disasters.
WCP: That's what I've always found interesting about you. Whenever I bring your name up with people, they're like, "he's got all his bases covered." You don't have to grind away at music. You can do it when it moves you. J: Right, that's the whole thing, like, I'm 33, I spent my whole 20s in the studio. Every day. Makin' beats. On a keyboard, in a studio, makin' beats. Eatin' bad. … And I said, "In my 30s, man, I'm not gonna do that." It's been good to me, but I'm tryin' to work smarter, not harder. Music got me the money to buy homes, and rent 'em out, to do stuff to make money.
WCP: Do you think hip-hop has become more welcoming to people who are beyond their 20s? Do you think it's easier to be an older player in the scene, the industry? J: Nah … I really think it's the other way. It's really becoming age discriminatory toward people that are getting older. Like, they want Jay-Z out the game. They always say, "Let the new guys in, the young generation." If you really think about it, in the whole grand scheme of things, I'm still a young guy in the game … I always look like at it like, you know what you know, and if you have something to offer people, people will always be willing to pay you for it, or they're gonna want to come get your advice on it, or want you to be a part of it. So, age … it doesn't even matter, that's how I look at it, but the industry as a whole, they tryin' to get the young'ins in there, make some money, use 'em for a couple years, and the next thing you know, it'll be a new young'in.
WCP: It's probably easier as a producer… J: Much easier! … When people come to my studio to work with me, I try to give them experience. We sit and talk for like two days, we get up and go get something to eat, we vibe out and really have a conversation about life, just everything. I kind of make it an experience for the artists that I'm working with. And, y'know, we just make some dope music, I believe, and people like the environment that I set … that's what it is. They come for the experience.
WCP: You're not shy about that. If you watch your Twitter feed … you make a point of saying, "Here's some wisdom, here's some smart things that I have to say." And to me, the big step that you took in the last year or so is that you started reviewing albums on your site. … The one that sticks out is Fat Trel. Did you catch any heat for that, what prompted you to take that step to write about it? You sort of explain yourself in the review, but I want to hear more about what made you take the leap. J: I was just trying to give my point of view, the producer's point of view, as somebody that's been in the scene for a while and really trying to progress the scene. … I wanted to come from a producer's standpoint … as a businessperson and entrepreneur, like, how do I look at [the record]. … I wanted to see what the new generation was doing, and I always heard about Fat Trel, he came to the studio a couple times … and he was just getting so much press, not only from Washington City Paper, but the Post, everybody. And I was like, I really hope this project is good. So that's when I said, let me take a listen. Because I really don't listen to that vibe of music all the time, know what I mean?
WCP: Did you catch any heat for what you wrote? Have you talked to him since you wrote it? J: I haven't caught any heat. Definitely his team sent it to him, and I know he's read it … honestly, from a younger crowd and especially his demographic, he looked at it like I was, y'know, hatin' on him and this and that, but if you really intelligently read the review and really understood what you was readin', it wasn't really hate at all.
WCP: And that's hard, y'know, I review albums all the time, and sometimes it's hard for people to see the love in what you do, because you spend all this time with a record, and you want to be honest about it, so I kind of know what you're up against there. J: Right, right. So I didn't really get any flak, per se … a lot of people are y'know, scared of him for whatever reason, but I'm not scared of him. I'm not scared of anything … because the truth is the truth. When other people tell you, "dawg, you hit it right on the head," know what I mean, you can't fight the truth. And that's the truth, [the mixtape] was weak in so many areas. And nobody would tell him that, because they're afraid of him. But I have nothin' invested in his career, so, why would I be afraid, you know what I mean?
WCP: You're one of the more knowledgeable people about DMV hip-hop. You've done a lot of things to bring the scene together. What's your view of what's going on right now? J: We're in a state of limbo right now. We're in a tough place because if you notice, say, three or four years ago, y'know, we had a lot of eyes on us. Wale was just breakin' through with some things, and you had people like Tabi [Bonney] with a big record and video play … everybody was just comin' out with some dope projects … Diamond District … everybody was comin' out with something. And right now, I honestly think that that momentum has slowed down greatly in terms of quality projects that garner national attention. Now you hardly have any projects that are getting any national attention, I mean, X.O. has been basically quiet for a year or two years? … I mean, they're probably trying to do another Diamond District right now. Oddisee put out a pretty solid project, but besides that, it's been virtually quiet, nationally. Now regionally, you'll get a couple records—-Boobe, all those guys … but that's been regionally. There's only one person with a deal right now … Wale.
I always say there's this thing called the put-on factor. Because if you notice, Kanye remixed Chief Keef "I Don't Like," right? So, since then, from Chicago, who has gotten signed? Chief Keef has gotten a deal. Rocky Fresh, who came to me four years ago, asking me to do beats for him, got a deal. And there's another guy, I hadn't even heard of his name, but he got a deal with Def Jam. [Ed. note: Lil Reese signed with Def Jam in June.] So you're lookin' at three Chicago artists within the last few months that got deals. It's just a different climate.
WCP: But let's talk about Wale for a second—-he did get put on. Why didn't it stick? Why didn't other people get signed after him? J: Some of that has to do with the music that was comin' out. A lot of it has to do with the fact that—-I personally believe that if you're in a position where you can shed light on other people, you do it.
WCP: He does, right? J: I mean, he does when it's advantageous to him. He does when it's advantageous to somethin' that he's doing. … Prime example: He had an album that came out, he has an affiliation with Board Administration, correct? But he had nobody from that label on his album. You could've got an artist some publishing, you could've got an artist a national look—-they could've been part of a gold album—-which I think it just went gold—-so y'know, it's things like that, that you see. Y'know, when Mike Jones came out, Paul Wall was on his album, Chamillionaire, like, they really did things for each other. They really put publishing in people's pockets and get 'em national attention. It's kind of odd, that that's your team, but yet, your artist—-Black Cobain—-is not on your album.
WCP: Do you think that's something that keeps repeating itself here in the DMV? Or that this time around, it's more a matter of the right people being in the right places, but people not bringing them along? Because when you look back at Black Indian's era, it almost seems like there just weren't enough. The scene wasn't big enough. J: Right. And nobody was really rappin' like that. But rap wasn't big, it was go-go. So if somebody did have a deal—-which Black Indian did—-they wasn't rappin', they wasn't tryin' to be rappers, so they didn't really care if he helped them out or not. … it was a different time.
WCP: So not many people are really successful commercially, but it seems like there's way more music than ever. It just seems like so many people are putting out songs in the DMV. Mixtapes, albums… what's going on there? Are people getting the wrong idea about how easy it is to make a career? Where's that all coming from? Why such a surge in product? J: I think that, just the ease of having the Internet, just everything at your fingertips. … You've got guys out in the street, sellin' drugs, and they like, "Oh, I wanna rap today." You know what I mean? "And then I'm gonna bring my boy, and I'm gonna make him rap, too. And then we just gon' shoot a video, and put it on YouTube." And it's just like a domino effect. They're like, "Oh, I could do that! … My boy can do that! Let me bring him in and he can do that!" … everybody sees it, they see how easy it is, you get a camera from Best Buy for $500, shoot a video and upload it … You can get Garageband and record vocals in it, and you can put an album out on your own, it's just so easy.
WCP: Do you think that's a good or a bad thing? You're from D.C., you know what it's like to grow up around here. Do you think that it's a good thing that it's just so easy? J: It's a gift and a curse. Because the gift is, you're able to be creative and get it out, and you don't need a record label to do it for you. And back in the day, if you wanted to put a record out, you had to go through a label, or A&R, to get it out for you. But now you can get your creativity out—-shoot a video, shoot a movie if you want, put it on the Internet, you can do whatever you want. And I love that. But then on the flipside of that, anybody think they can do it, and they do it—-and it just clutters everything up. And the people who do have talent, and are really sayin' something… you don't know who's who.
WCP: So if you could take one of these guys you described … what would you sit down and tell somebody like that? J: Honestly, I'm gonna break it down to you like this, Joe, the first thing I would tell him—-I would tell him to get a job. Get a career. In 2012, get a career. Really have a career, because I've found that when you have a job, and you're makin' music, when you're makin' music it's not about money. It's about, "I love doin' it, I do it when I have free time, I do it because I want to be creative." Because you know you have a paycheck coming in every two weeks. But when you don't have no paycheck comin' in every two weeks, and you're makin' beats, you're like, "Damn, I gotta sell these beats! I gotta sell 'em." And it's so stressful. So my thing is, to get a job, because it'll make makin' music so much easier.
And then on the flipside of that, I would tell 'em to really look at how to … I wouldn't say budget, but really just plan your work and work your plan. Really sit back and think about how you wanna do this thing, and really what you're in it for. Because a lot of people get into it when they're 20 years old, and they wake up and they're 35, and they still don't have any savings. They still don't have no health insurance, they still don't have a house, no apartment, like, they don't have anything to show for 15 years of trying to be a rapper. And that's real! So you really gotta think … about the reality of things, and then you can alter the reality and really figure out where you're going.
WCP: What about go-go? From your vantage point, how's that relationship evolved into, between DMV hip-hop and go-go? J: In 2012, go-go isn't even the same as it once was, know what I mean? Go-go has become like, crank or bounce-beat type go-go, but back in the day they were makin' songs that had melodies to 'em, they were arranged in musical ways. So I don't think go-go really has the value that it once had, because it's just not the same. You have a lot of young'ins who, before, y'know, everybody wanted to start a band. Now, everybody wanna be a rapper … and nothin' has that value.
WCP: How does that make you feel, though? Because, you've made your name in hip-hop, and you've done a lot for the scene here, and obviously hip-hop is important to you. How does it make you feel to see that maybe go-go has been … not corrupted, but go-go has definitely been altered by hip-hop. I mean, early go-go informed hip-hop, so it's not like that relationship is new, but it seems like go-go is losing a little bit. Is that true? J: It has lost! You know what I mean? Like, it has lost a lot over the years, a lot of pioneers have died, a lot of violence throughout the years, a lot of change in the music, the locations, the crowds … what it stood for, a lot of that is gone. You know what I mean, it hurts me, but at the same time, it's like, I think everything has to go through this cycle, where we have real strong go-go or hip-hop, and then it gets watered down, and then it comes back around … it's just cyclical. … But it hurts my heart. I have a niece that's 16, and she wants to go to the go-go, and it's just not the same that it was back in the day. You went to a real live show. Go-go at the Capital Centre. I wish every young'in today could really understand what go-go at the Capital Centre was like. … Young'ins haven't witnessed like, a real-live go-go at that level. Go-go at the Capital Centre! … People don't really think about where it's been and where it could be again. Because it was something so great … these live brass sections … choreographed movements … know what I mean, it was crazy. We don't have it no more.
WCP: So, technically, at least on paper, you're a young man for a while longer here … having seen all this and done all this, where do you want to be when you're 40? J: You know, honestly … as I start—-I call it "fadin' to black"—- like, I really just want to start on a family, have some kids, really, just enjoy the fruits of my labor. Really just enjoy it. I think personally my legacy is kind of written here … and I've done some wonderful things outside of the [DMV], too, as far as music and stuff. I really just want to fade to black and do some other things. Still run the studio. Just have a family and travel and just do other things.
WCP: So you've got all these experiences and wisdom to share. What would you say to a kid who doesn't think you have anything to offer? J: I said this the other day, and I'll say it again to you: I can't tell you how to be Kanye West. I can't tell you how to get 80 grand for a beat, or 200 grand for a beat. And I can't tell you how to be like Swizz Beatz. But I can tell you how to sell music independently, sell beats independently, and take that money and go buy property and go start businesses, and then you can go have your portfolio be worth $1.5 million. I can tell you that, but I can't tell you how to be Kanye, and I can't tell you how to be Swizz Beatz. But I can tell you something else that's real-life, know what I mean? … I really want people to know that they can create their own economy. You can create your own economy doing this music thing.

Q: i amtrying to fetch dates from mysql db to fullcalender.js events i have a table in my database named as employee_leaves,have fields like starting date and ending date i want to fetch those dates and display them dynamically on full calender so far i have done this
but everytimes the alert is executed alerting the error...
    $(document).ready(function() {
      var calender= $('#cal').fullCalendar({

        events: {
        url:"events.php",
        type:"POST",
        error: function() {
            alert('There was an error while fetching events.');
        }
     }
        })

       });

this is my events.php file
  $sql_get_leaves="SELECT * from employee_leaves";
$query_leaves=mysql_query($sql_get_leaves);
$events-array();
$res=mysql_fetch_array($query_leaves);
    $e=array();
    $e['id']="Leave_1";
    $e['title']="Leave";
    $e['start']=$res['leave_starting_date'];
    $e['end']=$res['leave_ending_date'];
    $e['allDay']=false;
    array_push($events,$e);
    echo json_encode($events);

A: Check the code properly. For ( = ) you have written as ( - ) Change and try:-
$events = array();

And also add the success function in our javascript function.


After five and a half years of waiting, Ubisoft finally presents Might and Magic Heroes 6, the awaited successor to Heroes of Might and Magic 5. Might and Magic Heroes 6 is a great game that comes up with useful innovations, yet pouring on the old charm. The game-play remains intact and it demonstrates striking parallels to Heroes of Might and Magic 5 - Hammers of Fate.
By the resource-cheats you can modify your amount of gold, wood, ore and crystals to the given values.
Due to the fact you can only use one of these cheats at the same time, it's helpful to activate at first the cheats for wood, ore and crystals and then the gold-cheat. This way you can build and recruit with active gold-cheat.
If you get an Uplay-chat-window when pressing Shift+F2 press this hotkey twice to close it again and activate the cheat. You can also disable the uplay-hotkeys which were added by an Uplay-update.
Activate this cheat and each time you open a heromenu, this hero get the choosen value as current mana, current blood- or current tears-reputation.
If you activate this cheat, your skillpoints won't be decreased if you learn new skills.
This kind of cheats should only be activate in a battle!
The mana-cheat sets your current mana-amount permanent to the listed value.
The unit-cheats modify the number of units you "open" with right-mouse-click. They will either restore the original amount from the battle-start, increase the current one by x or reduce it to one. Due to the fact you can modify your own as well as the oppenent units, you should disable these cheats as soon as you don't need them anymore in the battle.
Using these cheats allows you in your towns to construct as many buildings you like in one turn resp. hire unlimited amount of units since the number of available units won't be decreased by hiring anymore.
With this cheat a hero get the corresponding additional experiences each time you open the heromenu. The effect is visible with the second view of the hero.
The trainer is also compatible to the Complete-Edition.
The epic story - how could it be any different - is about war. A veteran Archangel comes to new forces and makes it his business to subjugate the wonderful world of Ashan. Being a brave hero of the Greifenherz Dynasty, you are challenged to thwart the Angel's hellish plan. At the beginning of the game you choose one of five different fractions: riders, demons, skeletons, vampires and orcs. The natural cycle - upgrading heroes, collecting artifacts and resources, expanding cities and defeating enemies - characterizes the game-play of Might Might and Magic Heroes 6. The switch points of your power are your cities. This is where you conscript your armies, run trade and recruit more heroes.
The combat action in Might and Magic Heroes 6 is based around important nodal points. The infamous siege battles are what make the Heroes games one of a kind. The enemy is anything but easy to defeat. The heroes perform a number of special abilities including powerful spells. Using a huge free skill tree you create your hero according to your ideas. The epic storyline is about five different perspectives and leads to two alternative ends. In some missions you have to make up your mind between the path of the blood or the tears. The graphical performance and background music flows at a very professional level.
The cheats of our Mega Trainer not only let you move unlimitedly and increase your skill points, but they set the current Mana (the current blood or tears reputation of your hero) up to any desired value. Due to the resource cheat you can always top up your amount of gold, wood, ore and crystals. In order to fully take the bread out of the angels mouths the Might and Magic Heroes 6 Trainer enhances you to infinitely build up buildings in your cities within a lap and to recruit your units without any restrictions. Even though the veteran Archangel has a lot of valuable experience in warfare, he won't be able to defeat you - since you're unbeatable with our cheats. Go get 'em!
This board is for Might and Magic Heroes 6. Use this platform to discuss positive and negative aspects of the game. If you have a problem with our trainer or a cheat, please check our FAQ or open a Support.
This board is for our Might and Magic Heroes 6 trainer for Might and Magic Heroes 6. Changes to existing cheats or new cheat requests can be posted here. If you have a problem with our trainer or a cheat, please check our FAQ or open a Support.


We have been learning all about penguins in first grade. One of my favorite writing activities to do with my class is what I call farmer and the dell sentences. It's something I learned about what back when I was a new teacher at a training I had went to. It really helps students with sentence structure and understanding nouns, verbs and adjectives.
Before I begin, I make a blank chart on butcher paper. This activity can be used with just about anything. I change out the word penguin and use worms, owls, bats, etc. It's an activity that can be used over and over again.
As a class, we brainstorm words for each column. I write the words in each column a different color. This will come in handy later in the lesson.
Next, using sticky notes with arrows drawn on them we pick words from the adjective, verb and prepositional phrase columns. Then with my pointer in hand we put those words to song, using the tune Farmer and the Dell. So it would go like this (image my singing voice).
The kids love it! We sing it fast, slow, deep voice, etc. I also let the kids be the teacher. They pick the words and get to use the pointer, exciting stuff! After our singing session, we write down our creations. I make a sentence frame to help them out.
The (adjective) penguin (verb) (prepositional phrase).
I match the colors of the words in each column with the sentence frame boxes. This helps some of my firsties. Here are some of their creations.
This is one of those activities that my students love. They learn to recognize the blank chart and they get so excited for silly sentences.

Well, look what the Darkness dragged in.
Supernatural has tapped The Mentalist's Emily Swallow to join the Season 11 cast in a significant (and malevolent) recurring role, TVLine has learned exclusively.
Swallow — whose pre-Mentalist credits include arcs on Ringer and Southland — will play Amara, a femme fatale who is both seductive and sinister (when need be). It's not clear when exactly Amara will be introduced, or what connection (if any) she may have to the just-released Darkness.
Thoughts on Swallow's casting? Do you think she's the Big Bad that Carver alluded to at SDCC? Hit the comments!

Q: Xodus: How to open earlier states of the db As I understand, the Xodus database appends transactions to its Log files, and full .xd files don't change anymore, so the Log files kind of become a record of the transaction history. Is there a way to read out past transactions and/or to open the database in an earlier state?

A: Right, full .xd files don't change anymore and get read-only attribute unless this is not turned off.
You can open database on the latest valid snapshot only. At runtime, you can open a read-only transaction and use it as long as you wish. It will hold correspoding database snapshot, database GC will be stopped until the transaction is aborted.
In future versions, there woould appear an API for opening a read-only transaction by an address of a snapshot in the Log. It will be an unsafe operation, since the snapshot can be incomplete due to database GC. So it would require manual control over the GC.

things and losing the valuables .In most of the scenario, the person/owner doesn't exactly remember the point of loss and time of loss. Hence to tackle this scenario, we are providing the solution to keep the valuables intact and not to forget things back .
The solution is based on Bluetooth low energy(BLE) technology keeping the valuables safe and intact.The BLE device is connected via the duplex communication with constant handshaking to the smartphone running a custom application meant for tracking things .The application uploads the data of distance between the wearable device and smartphone to the cloud. Once the smartphone and wearable device goes out of range ,the lost location along with the time of loss will be immediately uploaded to the cloud.
The BLE device wiil also having a button to ping the smartphone if the smartphone is lost as one of the usecase.The 'Range' selector option is provided in the application for maintaining the maximum distance from the device.The 'Lost location' button to find out the point of location the things that are lost.'PING' button to ping the BLE device with the buzzer sound.
1)While Travelling with lots of luggages.
1) Power consumption of the wearable device not a big concern.
2) Cost effective solution with ready to market.
Target audience is the urban commuters,tourists, travellers, People with memory disorder.
The available market is comparitively huge as the solution offered is very cost effective and can be mass produced in various form factors(Keychains,Stickers,Tags).
The solution is based on RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator) value of Bluetooth low energy(BLE) technology on the wearable side and the custom Android application on the Smartphone side monitoring the same.
The Project takes advantage of BLE's Less power consumption and Proximity profile(PXP)available with the BLE stack.
1)Distance maintained between the smartphone and devices: This data helps in analyzing the person's memory of remembering things around his vicinity which will be of a medical importance.
2)Lost location along with the time: The lost location data helps in tracking the things and plots the same in the Google maps(in Smartphone)or Bing Map(in PC or Laptop).
PuTty: For configuring the Edison.
Arduino IDE:For developing main code logic for Edison to monitor button and buzzer.
Android Studio:For developing the Android display application to monitor the BLE device.
Arduino expansion Kit for the Intel Edison.
The BLE wearable device can take many form factors like tags,keychains,stickers etc.. for varied use cases and requirements. Hence the device is a cost effective and best solution for keeping things in the vicinity.
Interface a serial Bluetooth Low Energy Module DBM01 to the Intel Edison Board/Arduino via UART serial Interface @ 38400 BaudRate.
Deploy the bluelock code to your android phone and start communicating with the beacon.
Step 4: Start Monitoring Your Wearables.
Once you have deployed the code in Edison and in Android phone(Supporting Bluetooth 4.0),Start monitoring the devices in your vicinity and keep your valuables intact.
can you please tell me what are the connections from DBM01 to arduino. its kinda urgent. i tried with just tx rx and power pins but i am not sure if that's enough or not.


I get a lot of emails, and some are quite heart-wrenching. And though I can't get into email advice and still have time to do what I do, I so appreciate reading what I get.
Here is one from a gal who, after ten successful years of Natural Desiccated Thyroid, was put on Synthroid and went totally downhill! Mental health issues like bi-polar, excess weight gain and more. THIS is why patients have to become knowledgeable (which is what Stop the Thyroid Madness gives you), instead of putting all your eggs in the doctor's basket. And yes, she agreed to let me post this.
I just found your website and I'm going to order some copies of your revised STTM book. I'm nearly forty-eight years old. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 1985 shortly after the birth of my first son. My doctor put me on Armour, and for ten years I was fine. When my doctor retired, I transferred my medical records to his son's newly opened practice. His son took me off of Armour and put me on Levothyroxine, although I was having no problems, because he said it's �better�. He basically used the same wording you quote on your website, �Armour is �unreliable', �inconsistent', �dangerous', �outdated'��. Naively, I trusted him.
I was beginning to believe that I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome!
Without going into a lot more detail, I'm taking nine prescriptions for these health problems. Now I realize that most, if not all, of these �health problems� are actually symptoms of improperly-treated hypothyroidism.
All I can say is, THANK GOD FOR YOUR WEBSITE! I'm going to talk to my doctor and take a copy of your revised STTM book with me. I'm going to make him listen to me. If he won't cooperate, I will transfer my medical records elsewhere. If I can't get any satisfaction from any other doctor in my area, I'm going to take matters into my own hands with the help of your book and website. I talked to my psychiatrist today (to get refills for my meds) about my suspicions � he told me that he believes I could be correct (hmmm � that in itself is quite disturbing).
God bless you Janie � I will remain a �fan� forever and I promise to send you additional follow-up information.
Thank You! As a person who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was sixteen, I've been through the works. I used to be a dancer, singer and a gymnast. All of that has gone by the by, and I am now plagued with debilitating bone problems and white hairs. I have been so confused. Then I was angry. Then I was just depressed. I'm twenty-four. I was sitting around, waiting to die. Then I came across your website. I want to say thank you. Thank you so much for being angry and doing something about it. I can never do anything about my condition. I live in Australia, with one, stupid incompetent doctor at my disposal, which I get in to see every few months at the most. I'm poor, and I have never had a medical practitioner listen to me. So I want to say, please, on my behalf, continue to do what you're doing. Please keep campaigning. So that one day people won't have to suffer from this debilitating disease.
Sometimes being an Activist for the truth of better thyroid treatment is stressful. But emails like the above are what keep me going! So thank you to these two gals for communicating with me and agreeing to let others to see what I get to see. It's all from their hearts.
To all women on here reporting early menopause from early hypothyroidism. You will get this because (although this is not proven but is logical) hypo suppresses the hormone DHEA massively. Without it you don't have estrogen. Without estrogen you go into menopause. In fact they are now looking at DHEA instead of HRT. So I do not know why women are not told to take DHEA when they are hypo and before menopause age. It's criminal in my view. The only outcome with low estrogen is early menopause and all that this in turn implies. Get it checked. Also you can buy it from Amazon so please do not hesitate and don't be fooled you need 50mcg or 100mcg. I've seen reports where DHEA is suppressed by as much as 80%. This is not just from weak adrenal action but is primarily from thyroid assault on the hormone which if you have weak adrenals combines to devastating effect. A very important fact.
First, I fired not just one, but TWO of my doctors: the general practioner (the one who took me off of Armour and put me on Levothyroxine) and my psychiatrist. Next, I found a wonderful chiropractic neurologist to replace them. My new doctor ran nearly sixty different tests on anything that could be extracted from my body! When the results came in, my doctor and I created a new term for me, "Metabolic Disaster". To make a long story short, I'm in the process of recovering with the help of my doctor. I've quit smoking and I've quit taking all of my prescriptions (my personal choice)! All I take now is five grains of NDT (Thiroyd), 2 teaspoons of organic, cold-pressed coconut oil, 2 teaspoons of Bragg's apple cider vinegar, the supplements my doctor recommends (including adaptogens), and 5-HTP. I've even stopped eating processed foods completely. I'm starting to feel like a human being now rather than a zombie!
Janie and this website saved my life – without Janie's vision and determination, I would not have gained the knowledge and courage I needed to change my life for the better. Thank God I stumbled upon this website – now I'm spreading the word to STOP THE THYROID MADNESS!
My symptoms (unexplained weight gain, etc etc) have been growing since I was 12, I'm at a point now where I consider suicide every week. My husband is an angel, but he deserves his wife at her best, and we need to sort this out before having babies.
I'm trying my 7th doctor to have this diagnosed and treated finally – fingers crossed this one's the charm.
THANK YOU for your information – I found it at Low Carber Forum, and it all resonates with me. So much so it's frightening.
im a mum of 5 and at the age of 31 i was diagnosed with hashimotos disease, i have been on oroxine for almost 7 years with my levels so called notrmal until now, they have gone hyperthyroid, my life feels like a horrible nightmare , my symptoms are through the roof, my anxiety almost debilitating, its like im menopausal at 37, im developing ovary cysts and breast cysts, been told i have low cortisol and adrenal fatigue, high testosterone for a woman and very low progesterone and oestrogen. im about to see if i can get a copy of your book for my doctor to read and see what can be done. i feel like im useless to society this way. like im just waiting to shrivel up and die. my kids nbeed their mum at her peak not crying and depressed or angry and cranky. i want to feel normal again, i used to sing, dance, go to the gym, now i have debilitating anxiety and vertigo that keeps me hidden from life. i dont want to keep feeling like im about to be wheel off in a white coat. i pray there is hope for me. i need it to, my kids need me to be better.
I can relate to the problems shown here. I finally found a chiropractor who followed the plan by Dr Datis Kharrazian and am now on armour and feeling a lot better. Of course this costs me a lot of money since insurance wouldnt cover it but it covered all the useless meds, tests and doctors that I went to in the past. When will they LISTEN TO US.

Ki-Teze: On The Way
Until modern times, travel was viewed as something best avoided. It was slow, uncomfortable, and often quite dangerous. Our rabbis even instituted a special prayer (Brachot 29b-30a) to be said when one has to travel. Spiritually, travel represented rootlessness, detachment from our natural environment. The person guilty of manslaughter had to flee to a city of refuge; and if he accidentally killed someone while he was already in such a...
Ki-Teze: Demanding More
August 22, 2018	By: Rabbi Jay Kelman
When studying Torah we must study not only its content, but also its form; not just what the Torah says, but also how it says it. Proper study requires that we analyze, as best we can, the editorial decisions of the Divine author of the Torah. Why, for example, are the laws of shmitta divided such that the agricultural aspects are presented in parshat Behar, whereas the fact that outstanding...
Ki-Teze: What a Story!
A legal brief and a good story are two very different forms of writing. We have even coined a term, legalese, to describe the distinct writing style employed by many a lawyer. The departments of law and that of literature have little to do with each other. Such is not the case with the Torah. Narrative often serves as the backdrop to the law, shedding light on many a command. Narrative tells us how we should live, while...
Ki Teze: A Dual Story
In studying the biblical text it is crucial to pay attention not only to the meaning of the text but to its form and structure; not just to what the Torah says, but how it says it. This basic principle allows us to derive much Jewish law from the juxtaposition of seemingly unconnected laws. It is the juxtaposition of the law of tzitzit to the prohibition of sha'atnez (Devarim 22:11 and 12) that teaches that the mitzvah...
Ki Teitzei: Hit 'Em Less
What is the role of a Rabbi? When this question was asked to Rabbi Yechiel Michel Epstein, author of the monumental code of law the Aruch Hashulchan, he responded that it is to issue rulings on Jewish law. Such is what one might expect coming from a world class posek, decisor of Jewish law. This would seem to have its roots in last week's parsha, where the Torah describes the role of the Sanhedrin. "If a...

Hello I am restoring my 1926 sedan. I am planing on bringing my car to the national meet.
I have some slotted head screws for the interior window trim, and perhaps other items. My restoration was done from 2000 to 2004, and a lot of items were available then. I had good luck with a firm called "Lincoln Hardware" in Tacoma, Washington. At that time, they had access to people and firms that had what I needed. Granted, I had to buy a box of 100 screws, to get maybe the 3 or 4 I needed!! It has always been fun for the search, but I did my restoration according to original. If I can get photos of my car, they will be on this note.


The Heroine jeans are fitted to the waist with a straight, generous leg and a healthy turn up. Perfectly matched with a GYO top or Camber Tee.
This is a pattern that we would advise making a toile first, firstly to adjust the fit if needed but secondly to familiarise with the pattern instructions. We have not used a traditional run and fell jeans seam, we have chosen instead to topstitch the seam, which is easier to achieve on a domestic machine. We have found that a heavy duty thread rather than a topstitch thread gives a more authentic look to the topstitching and is easier to use. You may find that you get a better stitch using a matching standard 'sew all' thread in the bobbin.
This is a multi-size paper pattern in an envelope, including sizes 6 – 18. 1.5cm seam allowance is included in the pattern unless otherwise stated. Skill level: Experienced but achievable if you take it step by step!

lovefashion | livelife: wifey status: cake pops!
first attempt at making cake pops! it was a lot harder than i thought! totally made with LOVE.
so after the blood, sweat and tears that were shed in the process of making this, i've decided that i might just be a trophy wifey instead of an all-around, hands on in the kitchen, soccer mom kinda wifey. that MIGHT just work better. seriously, i could probably burn down the kitchen!


If you're a struggling homeowner that is facing foreclosure, you will need to decide if it is worth your time to fight the foreclosure. A foreclosure attorney from our legal team at Attorneys Title Services can help represent you during this difficult time. If you fall far enough behind on your mortgage payments, the home lender can begin a process known as foreclosure. This allows the lender to sell your home in order to repay the loan. Before this occurs, the lender must mail you a letter notifying you of the proceedings. To prevent this from happening, you will need to bring your loan current within 30 days of the notice.
Here are some situations where you should consider hiring or consulting with an attorney.
You have a defense and want to keep your home: In this case the loan servicers may not have followed proper foreclosure procedures, can't prove it owns your loan or made a serious error on your account.
You are in the military: Active military service members have special protections against foreclosure. Also, if you took out your mortgage before going on active duty, the servicer cannot foreclose without a court order or waiver by you yourself.
You need help with a loan modification: This can include a lower interest rate or a longer amortization term. If this isn't an option, some individuals may consider filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
The foreclosure process can be difficult to understand. Court procedures will vary from state to state and court to court. Our skilled legal team can help you navigate the waters of this process. We can even help you to avoid foreclosure with a loss mitigation. This includes something known as a partial claim that can help you become current on your payments pending qualifications.
We will represent you throughout the foreclosure action and may even be able to save your home with a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing. All of these things will depend on the individual, the amount they're behind, their other debt and other variables. We can advise you of all of the options that would work best for your financial situation.
Ultimately, if you're struggling with paying your mortgage and have found yourself in foreclosure, we at ATS can help you. Contact us today for a free consultation by calling 904-260-0105.

Peter Behrens on his father's last-minute escape from pre-war Germany
Peter Behrens explains the genesis of his latest novel.
CBC Radio · Posted: Jun 03, 2016 9:57 AM ET | Last Updated: June 3, 2016
Peter Behrens won the Governor General's Literary Award for fiction in 2006 for his debut novel, The Law of Dreams. Carry Me is his third novel. (Winky Lewis)
The Next Chapter3:56How I Wrote It: Peter Behrens on "Carry Me"
Peter Behrens's novel Carry Me tells the story of Billy Lange, who grows up in England as the son of a skipper on a wealthy German-Jewish baron's racing yacht. Billy and the baron's daughter come of age in Germany, where their relationship develops extraordinarily high stakes on the eve of the Second World War.
A lot of the story in Carry Me is an inherited family story that I've been carrying around for a long time and needed to tell. There was a moment when my dad was on his deathbed in Montreal. I was with him, and he was moving in and out of a coma and not particularly cogent, and he kept sitting up in bed and telling me to get his suitcase out of the closet because he had to get it packed because we had to get to the train station so he could cross the border. And I know he was referring back to late August, 1939, when he got out of Germany just a few hours before war was declared. My family were not Jews, they were Catholics, and so faced nothing like millions of people faced. They were definitely on the relatively lucky side of history. But nonetheless, my father had a very challenging time growing up in Europe, and that's really what the book was trying to handle.
Peter Behrens's comments have been edited and condensed.

The Butterfly Enigma by Lorraine Campbell
by Whitney Smyth | Jan 28, 2016 | Archived Reviews (pre-April 2020), Historical Fiction, Mystery, Crime & Thriller, Romance, Sponsored | 0 comments
[alert variation="alert-info"]Publisher: Port Campbell Press
Formats: Paperback, eBook, Kindle
Purchase: Powell's | Amazon | IndieBound | Barnes & Noble | iBooks[/alert]
The Butterfly Enigma, by Lorraine Campbell, primarily takes place in Australia during the late 1960s. Lena Marceau has just finished a messy divorce, and is on her own for the first time in three years. Although she has family in the area Lena is determined to make it on her own and by chance she hears about court reporters and decides to give the career a try. It turns out that Lena loves being a court reporter, and she happens to be very good at it as well. Lena falls into the courthouse rhythm until one day she hears a voice from her past, a voice that summons up mind-numbing terror from a childhood she has suppressed. Lena searches for evidence that her hunch is more than a hunch, and that the seemingly high society Judge is actually something much worse; something that has ties to her forgotten childhood and the darker atrocities of World War II.
The Butterfly Enigma is a stand alone novel, although it does take place in the same universe as Lorraine Campbell's Resisting the Enemy series, with several characters making cameo appearances and brief mentions of events that took place in the earlier books. The book is a beautiful example of historical fiction that tackles several difficult topics including Nazi war crimes, infidelity, and the ongoing struggle of feminism in what is largely a man's world. The book spends some time focusing on the day-to-day life of a court reporter, which is brought to life brilliantly and is never once dull or boring. This is also a somewhat unusual story as it leaves things slightly open ended, with the character studying her options for her future – this doesn't necessarily weaken the ending, it instead reflects the realities of life, although some readers may be longing for everything to be tied off with a pretty bow.
Lena is a complicated character, having survived a dark personal tragedy during WWII as well as managing to survive completely alone for a time as a child in Nazi occupied France, she has clearly developed into a strong woman. Her recent divorce from her husband didn't destroy her; it instead made her become more self-reliant. Following this, she approaches men looking for a partner instead of a husband in the traditional sense. Some readers may find her liaison with Nordstrom a bit morally ambiguous, particularly with regards to her relationship with Harry. However, this isn't something that is particularly unheard of, it's just different in that we usually hear of such affairs being perpetrated by men. All said, Lena is very much her own woman, and while she may enjoy the company of a man, she doesn't need one.
Another segment of the book that touches on a morally ambiguous topic is that of revenge. While Lena has a right to her anger, as do many others that were victims of Nazi war criminals, the lengths that she goes through to achieve her vengeance – under the banner of justice – is worth discussing. Were Lena and her friends justified? Does what they did actually count as justice? This is a difficult topic, and is a relevant discussion as this is something that appears throughout history time and time again.
Thought provoking, poignant, and bold, The Butterfly Enigma is a complicated story that beautifully reflects the messiness of everyday life. It is a story that touches on potentially painful and difficult topics, and lets the reader view things through the bold and damaged eyes of Lena Marceau – a character that proves there are many different ways of fighting back.
