Tarzan is a buck we acquired from Marvin Shurley. He was not performance tested at ASU, but Marvin maintains his own weight gain records. This buck and his 1/2 brothers all gained weight significantly better than the average for all of Marvin's young bucks. Tarzan gained 0.788 lbs/day, which was the best of the bucks he didn't send to the performance tests.
Like our other sires, he was selected because of his excellent conformation. He stands square on his front and rear legs, is long, and has a perfect bite. The underside of his tail is jet black, and his horns are set wide apart. Tarzan is a different type of buck from our other sires, and strong in some areas that our other sires are not.
Tarzan has an impressive pedigree that includes Johaan and Krugerand. His genetics are 100% South African. Tarzan died of rumenatony on 08/01/07 after many years of producing quality kids including an ASU Performance Test Champion, and three consecutive REA Champions. Over the years we have retained many of this buck's daughters, so his superior genes will continue to influence our herd for many years to come.


In these 66 poems—three of which were nominated for a 2007 Pushcart Prize—Anca Vlasopolos describes life and loss, ecology and extinction, in heart-breakingly beautiful images that cause readers to catch their breath at every line. The subject matter ranges from nature, both beautiful and blighted, to blighted urban areas like Detroit (sometimes beautiful in their blight), to characters (actual, fictional, mythological), to the poet's mother. Like all good poetry, it explores the human condition; like all great poetry, it offers insights into that condition that surprise the reader with a truth suddenly revealed.
"Anca Vlasopolos is one of Detroit's finest poets. Her poems reach out to the greater world of art and literature while she maintains a rich urban perspective and spirit. Travel with her through this collection of poems, and you will become better connected to a new world of poetry that is waiting for us all to become more engaged and active." — M.L. Liebler, poet, essayist, activist, winner of the Paterson Poetry Prize.
"Anca Vlasopolos's voice is new and violent, witness to humanity's multiple cruelties, and to the carelessness that has given rise to 'penguins in a warming world.' In response, her poems are full of caring, showing itself first in a profound caring for language—ornate, precise, original, memorable—and on subjects that break us into tears: tales, images, cries from the heart and from history's victims, each repeating the universal story of irremediable loss, of family and kin, of the beloved Earth and its creatures, of belief and hope itself. Penguins in a Warming World is driven by passionate grief and love and, finally, by the desire to find meaning yet and still, 'in the perhaps empty brilliance of stars.'" — Shirley Geok-lin Lim, author of five books of poetry, a memoir, three books of short stories, two novels, and winner of the Commonwealth Poetry Prize and the American Book Award.

PET IN ONCOLOGY. "THORACIC MOLECULAR IMAGING"
February 17, 2016, "N.N. Blokhin Russian Cancer Research Center", Moscow.
On February 17, 2016 a conference "PET in Oncology. Thoracic Molecular Imaging" was held at Blokhin Russian Cancer Research Center. Traditionally, N.N. Blokhin RCRC, Russian Association of Oncologists (RAO) and Oncological Society of Molecular Imaging (OSMI) organized it.
The Conference was attended by more than 300 participants. The issues discussed during the sessions have proved to be interesting for roentgenologists, radiologists and as well as for medical physicists, radiochemists and engineers. There were introduced reports by leading specialists from Russia, Europe and USA. The conference was accompanied by a well-structured satellite miniature exhibition where everyone could to get acquainted with new engineering solutions and production of leading international and Russian companies in molecular visualization and PET.
The conference was organized into three sessions; the key reports were devoted to differential diagnostics, therapy response of thoracic cancer with MRI, CT-perfusion PET/CT and SPECT with various radiopharmaceuticals.
Session 1 (Chair: Shiryaev S., Dolgushin M., Tyurin I.) There were presented five reports after welcome speech of the deputy director for scientific and research activity, prof. Mikhail Lichinitser and executive director of OSMI, prof. Mikhail Dolgushin.
I. Tyurin (Russian Medical Academy of Postgraduate, Moscow, Russia) POTENTIALITIES AND LIMITATIONS OF CT AND MRI IN LUNG CANCER DIAGNOSIS.
Chief external specialist of RF Ministry of Health in radiology raised the issue of lung cancer screening using radiological diagnosis methods, outlined existing challenges in basic methods of thoracic radiology and established the place of MRI in thoracic oncology. Prof. Tyurin told about specific of PET/CT use and its increasingly important role in differential diagnosis of lung cancer and cancer therapy response. CT remains primary method of lung cancer detecting and anatomical characterization. An advantage of MRI is in evaluation of invasion into thoracic wall, heart. PET/CT is the general method for lymphatic nodes and distant metastases estimation as well as for radiation therapy planning.
Ph.D. student of scientific section of Petrov Research Institute of Oncology Kalinin told about biological perfusion and CT-perfusion technical features. Peter Kalinin shared experience of CT-perfusion application in differential diagnistics of primary lung cancer, prognosis of treatment effectiveness and therapy response.
Medical doctor in department of radiodiagnosis and intervention approach in diagnosis and therapy of N.N. Blokhin RCRC Ekaterina Kobyakova told about water diffusion in biological tissues and performed results obtained by using MR diffusion weighted Imaging in estimation of primary lung cancer. The report contained information about basic physics of the method and its benefits: high informative value, short whole body investigation time and total absence of radiation exposure. Using of this method makes possible staging of cancer in one investigation, gives information about chemoradiotherapy response. Kobyakovas impressive results indicated that MRI DWI method is promising.
The head of nuclear medicine department in Clinic of Nuclear Medicine Charite Mikhail Plotkin has an extensive clinical experience and visit conference "PET in Oncology" regularly. This time he told about lung functions in planning of lung resection, about SPECT/CT in thromboembolia of the pulmonary artery for estimation of perfusion, lung ventilation and for determining of mucociliary clearance.
The president of Oncological Society of Molecular Imaging noticed that nuclear medicine methods have to be used in diagnosis of neuroendocrine thymus cancer, because specificity of these methods is better than specificity common imaging methods in typical carcinoids and atypical low-grade carcinoids. In addition, nuclear medicine methods allow to provide whole body investigation for one-moment staging and give a possibility to predict peptide receptor radionuclide therapy response.
In the second report Mikhail Plotkin raised a question not touched cancer radiology. Well known that 18F-FDG is not cancer specific marker, its accumulation in focuses of inflammatory process (infectious as well as non-infectious genesis). In Clinic of Nuclear Medicine Sharite 18F-FDG is used for primary diagnosis of fever with uncertain genesis and spondylodiscitis, especially when MRI is impossible (artificial cardiac valve, arterial gaft).
2.	The president of European Association of Nuclear Medicine made an overview report about the use of PET / CT in lung cancers. PET/CT with 18F-FDG plays a crucial role in N and M staging of non-small cell lung cancer and radiotherapy planning, the accuracy of radiotheraoy response needs for further development. But the role of PET with 18F-FDG in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer is insignificant. However, PET/CT with 18F-FDG is a cost effective method of management of patients with an increased risk of lung cancer.
The next part of the report was devoted to PET/CT with 68GA-DOTA-peptides in neuroendocrine types of lung cancers and carcinoids. Method is highly effective in N and M staging of neuroendocrine tumor and in the description of newly diagnosed FDG-negative nodes in lung.
The speaker also payed attention to amino acids, in particular PET/ct with thymidine in bronchial lung cancer, which is known to be FDG-negative.
Head of the department of nuclear medicine in Humanitas Institute and a practicing radiologist Professor Kitty stressed the importance of PET/CT with 18F-FDG, delayed by 2-3 hours after administration of radiopharmaceuticals in the differential diagnosis of inflammatory processes, including tuberculosis and sarcoidosis, benign and neoplastic lesions of the lung. Also there were alluded promising, but insufficiently developed in lung cancer 18F-FLT, 18F-FMISO, 11C-methionine.
The head of Nuclear Medicine Physics in the (Department of Nuclear Medicine Physics and Bioengineering in UH Bristol visited a conference "PET in Oncology" he first, but hopefully not the last time. His report was devoted to diagnosis of malignant mesothelioms, wich appears frequently as a complication of asbestosis. Agriggation of PET/CT with 18F-FDG and dinamic contrast-enchanted MRI are highly efficient diagnostics methods for mesothelioms. The use of these methods and determination of conception of tumors metabolic volume and common glycolysis make estimation of therapy response easier, and initial level of 18F-FDG uptake (SUVmax) allows to specify prediction.
Primary heart tumor is a rare disease (0.3% according to autopsy data) and the most frequently it is benign FDG-negative myxoma. Secondary heart tumors are more prelevant, but sometimes they include lung and mediastinum cancer invasions. Prof. Sinitsyn suggested to use threshold value SUV max>3.5 for differentiation of malignant and benign lessions. Sinitsyn thinks that PET/CT is very promissing method, but now days echo-cardiography remains the most popular method for diagnosis of primary heart tomors.
Practicing radiologist Subbotin Alexei reported results of the study based on FDG-PET/CT of 81 patients with tumor and inflammatory changes of the esophagus, held in Chelyabinsk Regional Oncological Hospital. Differential diagnosis of esophageal cancer and benign tumors can be based on SUVmax, because the benign tumors tend to be metabolically inactive, however, in rare cases, esophageal cancer characterized by low metabolic activity, and benign formations may have a high metabolic rate.
It is not possible to set accurate differential diagnosis of esophagitis and esophageal cancer only by SUVmax, as well as to distinguish cancer differentiation grade.
Meshcheryakova Nadezhda, PhD student of Clinical and Experimental Radiology Research Institute, presented preliminary results of study (research supervisor professor Dolgushin M.) on role of 18F-FDG PET in assessment of response in non–small cell lung cancer. Comparison of RECIST and PERCIST for evaluation of early response to radiochemotherapy has expectedly shown that PET/CT is more sensitive and accurate than CT for the detection of an early therapeutic response in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer. Subject has caused genuine interest among the audience and among the speakers - issues related to the study design and standardization was discussed.
Dr. Kairemo (Visiting Professor in Department of Nuclear Medicine The University of Texas) was talking about fluorothymidine and its potential utility for noninvasively measuring cellular proliferation in vivo in malignant tumors PET/CT. This technology could have exciting implications in oncology, including the possibility of assessing tumor grade and aggressiveness. FLT-PET could also be used to predict and monitor response to antitumor therapies, especially early in the course of treatment of lung cancer, esophageal cancer breast and colorectal cancer. Professor Kairemo reminded the audience differences in thymidine and 18F-fluorothymidine metabolism.
In lung cancer FDG is the more sensitive tracer (81% vs. 95%), whereas FLT may be the more specific for malignancy (70% vs. 50%) – so it is not possible to use only FLT in primary diagnosis of lung cancers, but allows to differentiate areas of inflammation and neoplastic infiltration in the large tumors. Therefore, in lung cancer, FLT-PET combined with FDG-PET could potentially improve the specificity of staging and provide information regarding tumor growth rate and aggressiveness which could impact prognosis and/or treatment selection. In primary esophageal cancers FLT-PET compared with FDG-PET gives more false-negative and less false-positive findings. This allows to assess the effect of therapy in initially active tumors, but there is not a significant positive correlation between FLT uptake and cellular proliferation. Dr. Kairemo, fs a practicing physician of Cancer Center, outlined the good prospects of FLT-PET/CT by clinical cases of thorax angiosarcomas.
Dr. Pierre Vera (Department of Nuclear Medicine, Henri Becquerel Centre and Rouen University Hospital), in its report identified the role of PET/CT in the planning and evaluation of treatment response in lung cancer. Today, FDG-PET/CT is the gold standard in the planning of external beam radiotherapy for lung cancer, but using PET-CT to define areas for simultaneous integrated boost is not a routine. The use of various tracers to assess the primary tumor hypoxia at different stages of radiotherapy is actively discussed. Respiratory-gated PET/CT allows more accurate identification of tracer uptake and tumor volume. Professor Vera suggested combined algorithm of FDG- and FMISO-PET/CT use for radiotherapy planning and boost correction in lung cancer. This protocol of maximum radiation dose calculation possible to reduce tumor volumes up to 59% tree month after radiation therapy (further control has not yet been carried out). The speaker also touched upon the issues of radiation therapy of esophageal cancer and metastases of other oncological processes.
Almost all reports emphasized the increasing by light of experience role of PET/CT in the staging and treatment assessment of malignant tumors. Conference participants agreed in opinion about the optimal multi-modal approach in the diagnosis of neoplastic diseases of thoracic organs. The fourth conference in 2017 decided to devote to molecular imaging of head and neck cancer.

Q: Order forms field calculation I am building a order form for buying Bitcoins via JotForm.Maybe someone could give me a head start here. My order form has a a few fields I have a field with current Bitcoin price which is retrieved with PHP via JSON. What I would like to do is when a user enters a amount of bitcoins he would like to order the field of TOTAL SUM would refresh automatically based on amount he entered like  "2xcurent price". Any help is like really appreciated!
This is how it looks visually:
http://oi60.tinypic.com/2k4fgw.jpg
Part of my form code is here:

        Order form

           Bitcoin price USD:<?php echo $usd; ?>

            Total Sum :

     Email:

      <input type="email" class=" form-textbox validate[Email]" id="input_3" name="q3_elPastas" size="25" value="" maxlength="38" />

     Bitcoin amount:

      <input type="text" class=" form-textbox validate[Numeric]" data-type="input-textbox" id="input_9" name="q9_pasirinktosValiutos9" size="25" value="" />

     Bitcoin address:

      <input type="text" class=" form-textbox validate[AlphaNumeric]" data-type="input-textbox" id="input_10" name="q10_bitcoinAdresas10" size="25" value="" maxlength="37" />

<input type="checkbox" class="form-checkbox" id="input_14_0" name="q14_input14[]" value="I Agree to receive newsletter" />
          I Agree to receive news letter

          <input id="input_12" class="form-hidden widget-required form-widget" type="hidden" name="q12_clickTo" value="">

        <button id="input_2" type="submit" class="form-submit-button">
          ORDER!
        </button>

    Should be Empty:
    <input type="text" name="website" value="" />

A: I solved this by simply using an array of objects. So for example, I am accepting registrations. So to get the total price I go about it like this:
var registrants = [];

registrants.push({ price: 30 });
registrants.push({ price: 10 });
registrants.push({ price: 20 });

var totalPrice = 0;

for(var x = 0; x < registrants.length; x++){
    totalPrice += registrants[x]["price"];
}

and you would just update the price property of the corresponding registrant when appropriate.

Electroswing's Ginkgoa Extol the Virtues of Breaking Free on "Don't Give a Damn" (premiere)
Adriane Pontecorvo
Photo: Lucas Vaco
Vintage swing, future bass, and an attitude of anarchy reign on French duo Ginkgoa's latest single "Don't Give a Damn".
For a good time, take France's early swing jazz scene, add in some killer bass beats, and crank the devil-may-care rebellion up about ten notches. You'll end up with "Don't Give a Damn", the new space-age swing from France-based duo Ginkgoa. Pulled from the group's brand new EP, One Time, the song and its accompanying video extol the virtues of breaking free. The band describes the track as "an ode to dancing your cares away and releasing inner craziness", and the song delivers with vintage style and modern dance rhythms that come together for bar after bar of ecstatic release.
Along with its sense of hedonistic fun, "Don't Give a Damn" has a grit to it grounded in Ginkgoa's collective attitude of resistance and self-determination. Vocalist Nicolle Rochelle made headlines earlier this year for a topless protest of Bill Cosby, and Ginkgoa's music is just another side of that pull-no-punches worldview. Lyrically unapologetic ("If you want pieces of this, my dear man / I'll tell you frankly, I don't give a damn") and bolstered by producer Antoine Chatenet's skill for merging retro samples and modern trap, the song is bold, and its video, featuring two lead women drinking, smoking, and dancing in the streets of Paris, has a self-possessed sensuality.
The style Ginkgoa calls "Swing Future" is in full, time-blending force on "Don't Give a Damn". As with everything Ginkgoa does, this new video puts a fresh face on the spirit of cabaret. "We inspire each other," says Chatenet about the music of Ginkgoa, "and I think that energy reaches the crowd when everything comes together.
"[I'm] hoping," adds Rochelle, "the vibe will be felt no matter what language the audience speaks." Her hopes are well realized; there's certainly no ambiguity on the jubilant "Don't Give a Damn".

Military Schools in Laredo, Texas
Home » Military Schools in Laredo, Texas
If you are a parent, you've probably heard lots of things about military schools and don't know what to think. Are they boot camps? Do they accept and help troubled or misbehaving children? Are they just a trick to get kids to join the military? Let's go ahead and set the record straight.
Militaryschoolusa.com is a directory which lists all the military schools in the country, including, of course, military schools that might be near Laredo, Texas. Before you learn about each program individually, let us give you an overview of what military schools can do for your son or daughter.
Military schools in Laredo, Texas are essentially boarding schools with a history of military tradition. This means that, while many of these schools are not directly affiliated with the US military in any way, they do use military style in the way they are organized and work with students. A lot of military schools have hierarchies which are rooted in military drills and traditions. As students progress in the program, they rank up and earn more privileges and responsibilities. Campuses include boarding facilities and students and get the opportunity to develop close-knit relationships with their peers, an opportunity unavailable at traditional high schools.
Although these programs very structured and discipline-oriented, they are not usually indicated for troubled teenagers. These schools maintain strict academic standards and the overall aim is to set students up for success in high level universities. For most academically gifted students, military schools provide the right atmosphere needed to set them apart from their peers, and you won't find a more inclusive listing of military school than here at MilitarySchoolUSA.com!
My son or daughter is aiming for a highly competitive university, can a military school near Laredo, Texas help him/her with that?
Most military schools in Laredo, Texas are renowned for their tough academic standards. These are not academic recovery programs. Instead, the aim is to challenge your son or daughter and get them ready to meet the entrance requirements of the top universities in the country. Additionally, classes are taught in military fashion which places extra emphasis discipline and organization.

Developing with Good Intentions
How Tech for Social Good inspires change, fosters inclusion and makes a difference in communities.
Imagine a smartphone app that helps fight global slavery. Now imagine that you're a student working on building that app. Think about how it would feel to know that the solution you develop could help free thousands of slaves around the world.
For students participating in a recent Code for Good hackathon, that dream was a reality. The hackathon was designed to help Free the Slaves, a nonprofit organization working in human trafficking hot spots to end modern practice of slavery around the world. The app that the students helped develop expanded the group's ability to gather data among field workers even in remote areas, raise awareness about slavery, and combat its practice.
During Code for Good, students and JPMorgan Chase technologists spend 24 hours using their technology skills to solve real problems for nonprofit organizations. It's a great way for students to showcase their skills in problem-solving, collaboration and technical prowess—all while meeting recruitment teams and learning about JPMorgan Chase's culture of giving back.
Hosted at JPMorgan Chase offices around the world, Code for Good is one of several ways the firm identifies technology talent for its full-time and summer Software Engineering Program (SEP). In fact the company brings in more than 20 percent of its SEP class through Code for Good.
The best part is that the ideas generated at Code for Good do not just sit on the "digital shelf"—they are later brought to life in another Tech for Social Good program called Force for Good, where participating JPMorgan Chase technologists spend four hours a week over an eight-month period, building out sustainable technology solutions for nonprofits.
Corey Shirk, a technologist in Columbus, has participated in many facets of the Tech for Social Good programs. As a university student, he attended Code for Good in Tampa. His team created a data catalog that will allow organizations such as the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, which is dedicated to advancing quality of life and discovering cures for spinal cord injury, to partner with travel sites to provide more complete accessibility information for their visitors.
In 2016, Shirk was offered a position on the SEP program and later participated in Force for Good, working with other software engineers to build out a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system for another nonprofit, who participated in Code for Good.
"Force for Good is a great way to develop your skills and learn new technologies" he said. "I wouldn't know of another opportunity to learn how to build a CRM system. It was so rewarding to be given the opportunity to do this outside of my regular work duties, while also giving back to a nonprofit in my community."
To continue driving interest in Code for Good and other technology opportunities at JPMorgan Chase, Tech for Social Good also launched a Sponsored Hackathons Program, which allows the firm to get involved in hackathons hosted at university campuses across the globe.
"Hackathons are becoming more and more popular in the technology community," said Julia Backon, Vice President for Project Execution. "We started sponsoring external hackathons and realized it's a great way to showcase how technology driven JPMorgan Chase is and our passion for social good, all while connecting with technology talent and supporting students who are interested in these events."
Since launching in 2010, Tech for Social Good has been giving JPMorgan Chase technologists' unique opportunities to give back. Since its inception, Code for Good has been hosted 80 times in 15 cities around the world, including Bengaluru, Chicago, Wilmington, London, Mumbai, New York, and Singapore. The Force for Good program, which pairs JPMorgan Chase technologists with nonprofits to fully develop solutions currently operates in over 20 different locations, supporting over 135 nonprofit organizations in this past year alone.

About a week ago this tweet showed up on my timeline and Twitter feed quite a lot. Today, while reading Calm I was reminded of the tweet again. Not because Riley and Carter act like teenagers so much — they're actually very grown up and sensible about how they're dealing with their lives and their relationships — but because of all the things they have to figure out all over again, and for certain developments that closely resemble growing up and moving on to lead your own life.
I apologize, I was horribly vague in that previous paragraph but that is very much on purpose. While I am perfectly comfortable revealing that this book centres around Riley and Carter figuring out who they really are, both as individuals and together, I much prefer not to go into details. Trust me when I say that the journey these two men undertake is beautiful, realistic, and unputdownable.
I've said it before and I'm not afraid to say it again: I love books that take me away from the tried and trusted and give me a new (to me) sorta story. Calm, like Wake before it, is such a story and it managed to totally take me by surprise. For example, I had prepared myself for high levels of angst (which, as regular readers will know, I'm not very good with), only to discover that while the story is bursting with emotion it's not angst-driven at all.
There was so much in this book I absolutely adored I could easily write a novella length review without sharing all the details. I'll spare you that and will try to limit myself to one or two things that really stood out for me.
First and foremost, the story-lines in these books can all be caught under the same label: realism. All too often in romance novels there are one or two moments when the reader has to suspense disbelieve and just go with the flow. While there's nothing wrong with that, it was wonderful to read a book in which the story and the character development felt so real that I could almost believe I was reading an (auto) biography or memoir rather than a novel. And, for me, this was most obvious in the way the various relationships played out. Carter building a new relationship with Kate, his ex-wife and the mother of his two children, felt real, not to mention that it closely resembles how I feel divorces should play out, especially when there are kids involved.
Furthermore, I loved that there are no perfect characters or easy solutions in this story. This is a slice of life and while the happily ever after was definitely there when I reached the end of the book, even that was coloured by realism rather than fairytales. And that is what made this book so very special; I not only believed that Carter and Riley would be happy ever after, I'm also convinced theirs is the sort of happy ending all of us can aspire to.
The secondary characters in this book were wonderful and I can't begin to tell you how delighted I am that the authors are working on a spin-off series in which we'll get to see more of Jesse, Kyle, and hopefully Will. And the fact that I can't imagine Riley and Carter not making regular appearances in those new books too only heightens my delight.
Long story short, Calm and Wake are well written, captivating, and truly unique stories featuring characters I came to care for deeply and a story that will stick with me for a very long time. Well done ladies, you created an absolutely stunning two book series! I'm looking forward to any future co-writing you may end up doing.

Paper is a common print surface in printmaking, but many contemporary print media artists are exploring alternative print surfaces. Beyond Paper is a group exhibition that presents work which utilizes alternative print substrates such as ceramic, fabric and wood rather than solely paper. Work by Laura Bydlowska, Pam Lobb, Liz Menard and Theresa Morin examines the fragile existence of nature. Each artist emphasizes such fragility by working with non-traditional surfaces for their print-based work.


I believe that supervision needs to take place in a supportive environment in which the supervisee can build on their own skills and insights as a practitioner, and a space in which the supervisee can reflect on any aspect of their work with clients and their relationship, thus allowing supervisees increase the therapeutic benefit to clients.
I welcome enquiries from student counsellors in training and have experience in providing the extra support and mentoring which may be required.

Q: Resizing plot graph from R in Emacs automatically for Ubuntu 13.04 Bug In Ubuntu 13.04, when plotting using R, it will now not automatically display. I am aware this is a bug, but I am looking for a temporary solution.
Does anyone have an Emacs or R solution how to automatically resize the plot window or something on a plot call? It is really annoying to resize the window constantly.
My best solution now is to use C-S-left, which sticks the window to the left edge, automatically resizing.

A: the problem of no graphics in R after updating to Ubuntu 13.04  is solved by upgrading R to 3.0.0 This might cause some other issues with outdated packages, but it solved the problem in my machine. see http://www.personal.psu.edu/mar36/blogs/the_ubuntu_r_blog/2013/03/moving-to-r-300-on-ubuntu.html

The Chosen season 2 episode 7 Release date and Time, Trailer, Where to stream Season 2 of The Chosen?
The Chosen season 2 episode 7 is set to release this Wednesday on 30 June 2021 at 9 PM EDT on the Angel Studios website. The episode will be full of surprises and tragic moments as we are slowly heading towards the finale of this season. In the last episode, we saw Jesus talking about love over law and mercy over sacrifice of the sabbath for man. Ep 7 will open up the story after those final moments.
When is the chosen season 2 episode 7 coming out?
Where to stream The Chosen Season 2 online?
Episode 6 Recap
What will happen in The Chosen Season 2 episode 7?
The Chosen season 2 episode 7 titled Reckoning will be released on 30 June 2021 at at 9:00 PM ET on the official YouTube Channel of The Chosen and VidAngel Studios website. There is no fixed date for new episodes release because of some production issues and crowdfunding. There will be a total of 8 episodes in this season that will be based on the true stories of Jesus Christ.
The Chosen Season 2 is currently streaming on the official website of Angel Studios and BYUtv. You can also watch the episodes of season 2 for free on VidAngel. It is not available to watch on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney+, etc. However, you can watch season 1 of the show for free on The Chosen YouTube Channel and Peacock TV.
Episode 6 titled Unlawful starts with Mary Magdalene falling deeper into her old habits while Jesus sends Simon and Matthew to accompany her and listen about her problems. The episode title signifies Love over law and about the issues that arise when our meticulous rules start to dominate our mind and we forget the most basic reason of our existence.
Moreover, as we talked about earlier in the predictions of this episode, John the Baptist got arrested for protecting the religious laws without any mercy and this act is purely unlawful. Some disciples were compelled to use some illegal means out of love to save the life of John whereas some were travelling along with Jesus. We also found Pharisees Shmuel and Yanni talking about their evil plans to bring Jesus in justice and convict him under their law. They want to gave Jesus punishment for breaking the rules of sabbath and committing blasphemy which is very heinous religious crime.
The Chosen Season 2 Episode 7 will probably about the ways that disciples attempt to prevent the execution of John The Baptist. Also, the miracles done by Jesus are spreading through words of mouth between all types of people including haters of Jesus. His disciples are trying to protect him by advising the residents to not talk about any miracles.
On the other hand, Yanni and Shmuel will continue their quest to bring Jesus to justice to give him a huge punishment for breaking the rules of sabbath and committing blasphemy. However, there is no weight in their evidences, the man hasn't committed a sin and what he does is for humanity only. They are falsely propagating that Jesus has committed blasphemy only to succeed in their plans and satisfy their ego.
God works in pain, Jesus will give his disciples some very important learnings so that they can continue to spread the light of positivity even after his departure. Moreover, Jesus might demand some food from God for his disciples as there is a food crisis between their way.
What do you think will happen in The Chosen Season 2 episode 7 now? Catch it on the Vidangel studios website on 30 June 2021.

Frank Ocean Says Chris Brown Threatened to Shoot Him! [Details]
Rucuss staffFebruary 6, 2013
Frank Ocean claims Chris Brown threatened to shoot him during a fight over a parking space last month.
The shocking revelation was in a police report included in a prosecution motion seeking to have Brown's probation revoked over discrepancies in the records of his 2009 community service sentence for beating Rihanna.
In the police report, Ocean told authorities he asked Brown to move his car and the Don't Judge Me singer extended his hand and Ocean refused. That's when Brown punched Ocean on the side of his head and two others jumped in. The fight last two to three minutes, TMZ reports.
Ocean claims he heard a gay slur but was unsure who said it and that after the fight Brown told him, "we can bust on you, too!' Ocean suffered a cut to his right index finger and a cut on his left temple.
The Los Angeles County sheriff's office closed the investigation after Ocean said he did not want to press charges. But Ocean allegedly told police in private he wanted to see Brown in jail.
Now that Brown doesn't have to worry about charges from the incident he can focus all his attention on his community service. Deputy Dist. Atty. Mary Murray asked a judge not to accept his community service documentation due to "at best sloppy documentation and at worst fraudulent reporting."
Brown could be sent to jail if he does not fulfill that community service requirement to the judge's satisfaction.

Q: Add a checkbox for the innerHTML in javascript I have a page which contains a 10 items(formatted list).Here in this page I need to add check box for each item and add the item as the value to each check box.when the user click on the check box the selected value should be passed to a new page.Can anyone help me how to add a check box for the innerHTML in java script.
Code:
  var newsletter=document.getElementById("block-system-main");
    var districolumn=getElementsByClassName('view-id-_create_a_news_letter_',newsletter,'div');
  if(districolumn!=null)
 {
  var newsletterall=newsletter.getElementsByTagName('li');
 alert(newsletterall[0].innerHTML);
 var all=newsletter.innerHTML;
newsletter.innerHTML="<input type='button' onclick='changeText()' value='Change Text'/>";
}
    function changeText()
    {
       alert("dfgsdg");
    }

A: I don't exactly understand what each part of your code is doing, but i'll try and give a general answer:
In your HTML, do something like this:
<form id="myForm" action="nextPage.com">

</form>

Change the above names to wherever you want your checkboxes to be written.
And your function:
function changeText()
{
    for(var i=0 ; i < newsletterall.length ; i++)
    {
        var inner = document.getElementById("Boxes").innerHTML;
        var newBox = ('<input type="checkbox" name="item[]" value="' + newsletter[i] + '>' + newsletterall[i]);
        document.getElementById("Boxes").innerHTML = inner + newBox;
    }
document.getElementById("myForm").submit();
}

The last line of code submits the checkboxes automatically. If you don't want that, remove that line, and add a submit button to the form myForm.

A:
$('ul#list li').each(
    function() {
        var me = $(this),
            val = me.html(),
            ckb = $('<input type="checkbox" />');

        ckb.click(function() {
            var where=val;
            window.location.href='http://google.com/?'+where;
        });

        me.html('');
        me.append(ckb).append($(''+val+''));
    }
);

Odom, Briles offer loyalty, stability to Razorback football
By Terry J. Wood · Tuesday, Apr 12, 2022
Barry Odom and Kendall Briles
If the Arkansas Razorbacks' 9-4 finish last year, including a resounding Outback Bowl victory over Penn State, wasn't proof positive that third-year head coach Sam Pittman has a good thing going On the Hill, then the loyalty displayed by his defensive and offensive coordinators Barry Odom and Kendall Briles in turning away other — likely more lucrative — job opportunities this winter speaks volumes.
Following the example of Georgia head coach Kirby Smart, who picked up the procedure under Alabama coach Nick Saban, Pittman is the primary coaching voice heard by the public out of the Razorback program.
It's a one voice, one heartbeat type of thing.
Support our work and score some swag as a friend of the Flyer
No mixed messages to the fanbase, but perhaps more importantly, it allows the coordinators and coaches to do their jobs more efficiently and effectively by taking media responsibilities off their plate.
However, Pittman allowed Briles and Odom to meet with the media last Saturday following practice, and it gave fans a different peek into the program that certainly was appreciated.
I love hearing from coordinators and assistants. Where the head coach takes a macro view of the program, it's the micro information that only an assistant can offer that allows me to see what's going on at a position more clearly.
However, the key message from the rare interview session with Odom and Briles spoke volumes about Pittman and his leadership. The head Hog has created a player-centered, work environment that these two talented, experienced, and desirable coordinators enjoy working and competing in.
Certainly their compensation helped keep them in place, but both could've gotten more cash elsewhere — Odom turned down head coaching opportunities. However, at the moment, there is satisfaction enough in what they are creating within the Razorback program, and Northwest Arkansas is a special enough place to keep them rooted with the Razorbacks.
There will come a time when Odom and Briles will move on. Collegiate coaching is a transient lifestyle, to say the least. It could be as soon as next winter?
But as an observer who has watched a revolving door of coaches, coordinators, and assistants within the Razorback program for the last decade or so, it's nice to have as much stability as possible within the Razorback program.
Pittman's leadership is to be applauded for crafting an environment in which coaches value the benefits of staying out rather than moving on.

Nokasad (full name Somdetch Brhat Chao Jaya Sri Samudra Buddhangkura; alternate names Soi Si Samout Phouthong Koun; King of Champa Nagapurisiri or Nakhon Champa Nakhaburisi) (reckoned posthumously to have been born in 1693 as Prince (Chao) Nakasatra Sungaya or Nokasat Song) was a grandson of the last king of Lan Xang, King Sourigna Vongsa; and a son-in-law of the Cambodian King Chey Chettha IV. He was made king of the southern Laotian Kingdom of Champasak from 1713 to 1737. In 1718, the first Lao muang in the Chi valley — and indeed anywhere in the interior of the Khorat Plateau — was founded at Suwannaphum District in present-day Roi Et Province by an official in the service of this king.  In 1725, he turned his executive powers over to his eldest son; he died at Khorat in 1738.

Q: Are there such things as variables within an Excel formula? I hate repeating functions, particularly in Excel formulas.  Is there any way that I can avoid something like:
=IF( VLOOKUP(A1, B:B, 1, 0) > 10, VLOOKUP(A1, B:B, 1, 0) - 10, VLOOKUP(A1, B:B, 1, 0) )

[The above is just a simple example of the problem, and not a particular formula that I'm working with.]

A: You could store intermediate values in a cell or column (which you could hide if you choose)
C1: = VLOOKUP(A1, B:B, 1, 0)
D1: = IF(C1 > 10, C1 - 10, C1)

A: You could define a name for the VLOOKUP part of the formula.

*

*Highlight the cell that contains this formula

*On the Insert menu, go Name, and click Define

*Enter a name for your variable (e.g. 'Value')

*In the Refers To box, enter your VLOOKUP formula: =VLOOKUP(A1,B:B, 1, 0)

*Click Add, and close the dialog

*In your original formula, replace the VLOOKUP parts with the name you just defined: =IF( Value > 10, Value - 10, Value )
Step (1) is important here: I guess on the second row, you want Excel to use VLOOKUP(A2,B:B, 1, 0), the third row VLOOKUP(A3,B:B, 1, 0), etc. Step (4) achieves this by using relative references (A1 and B:B), not absolute references ($A$1 and $B:$B).

Note:

*

*For newer Excel versions with the ribbon, go to Formulas ribbon -> Define Name. It's the same after that. Also, to use your name, you can do "Use in Formula", right under Define Name, while editing the formula, or else start typing it, and Excel will suggest the name (credits:  Michael Rusch)

*Shortened steps: 1. Right click a cell and click Define name... 2. Enter a name and the formula which you want to associate with that name/local variable 3. Use variable (credits: Jens Bodal)

A: Now you can use the function LET to declare variables within Excel formulas.
This function is available since Jun 2020 for Microsoft 365  users.
Given your example, the formula will be:
=LET(MyFunc,VLOOKUP(A1,B:B,1,0), IF(MyFunc > 10, MyFunc - 10, MyFunc ) )

The 1st argument is the variable name and the 2nd argument is the function or range. You can add more pairs of arguments variable, function/range.
After adding the variables, the last argument will be your formula of interest -- calling the variables you just created.
For more information, please access the Microsoft webpage here.

A: Two options:

*

*VLOOKUP function in its own cell: =VLOOKUP(A1, B:B, 1, 0) (in say, C1), then formula referencing C1: =IF( C1 > 10, C1 - 10, C1 )

*create a UDF:

Function MyFunc(a1, a2, a3, a4)
    Dim v as Variant
    v = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(a1, a2, a3, a4)
    If v > 10 Then
        MyFunc = v - 10
    Else
        MyFunc = v
    End If
End Function

A: Yes. But not directly.
Simpler way

*

*You could post Vlookup() in one cell and use its address in where required. - This is perhaps the only direct way of using variables in Excel.

OR

*

*You could define Vlookup(reference)-10 as a wrapper function from within VBE Macros. Press Alt+f12 and use that function

A: Defining a NAME containing the lookup is a neat solution, HOWEVER, it always seems to store the sheet name with the cell reference. However, I think if you delete the sheet name in the '' quotes but leave the "!", it may work.

A: There isn't a way to define a variable in the formula bar of Excel.  As a workaround you could place the function in another cell (optionally, hiding the contents or placing it in a separate sheet).  Otherwise you could create a VBA function.

A: Not related to variables, your example will also be solved by MOD:
=Mod(VLOOKUP(A1, B:B, 1, 0);10)

A: I know it's a little off-topic, but following up with the solution presented by Jonas Bøhmer, actually I think that MOD is the best solution to your example.
If your intention was to limit the result to one digit, MOD is the best approach to achieve it.
ie. Let's suppose that VLOOKUP(A1, B:B, 1, 0) returns 23. Your IF formula would simply make this calculation: 23 - 10 and return 13 as the result.
On the other hand, MOD(VLOOKUP(A1, B:B, 1, 0), 10) would divide 23 by 10 and show the remainder: 3.
Back to the main topic, when I need to use a formula that repeats some part, I usually put it on another cell and then hide it as some people already suggested.
