La Maison de Trazegnies est une ancienne maison féodale Belge, titré Marquis de Trazegnies.

Origine du nom
Elle est aujourd'hui éteinte, fondue dans la famille de Hamal. Les membres subsistants de cette famille sont issus du baron Arnould de Hamal et de Anne, dame héritière de Trazegnies et de Silly. L'ascendance agnatique prouvée de cette famille héritière des premiers seigneurs de Trazegnies remonte à 1243.
Beaucoup de maisons féodales d'ancienne chevalerie telles les Lalaing, les Ligne, les Chimay, les La Hamaide, etc. tirent leur nom d'une ancienne localité du comté de Hainaut, actuellement divisé à parts égales entre la France et le royaume de Belgique.

Quant à elle, la localité de Trazegnies, où se voit encore de nos jours le château de ce nom, se trouve à proximité de l'antique chaussée romaine reliant Bavay à Maastricht, à mi-chemin entre Charleroi et La Louvière. "Il y a plus de ", écrivait Guichardin en 1567, "que les très illustres Trazegnies règnent dans ce domaine, qui est un fief de Brabant". Et Jean-Baptiste Gramaye ajoutait en 1606: "Quoique le Hainaut mette Trazegnies dans son comté, il est cependant certain que c'est un fief de Brabant, et que les seigneurs de Trazegnies ont fait des alliances avec ces ducs. En effet , on est tellement convaincu de cette vérité, qu'on nomme encore une rente de trente-six muids d'avoine que l'illustre famille de Trazegnies reçoit annuellement sur les domaines de Nivelle, les "avoines des ducs".

Ce n'est donc pas au titre de la terre brabançonne de Trazegnies, mais bien du chef de l'importante pairie de Silly, que les Trazegnies, qu'un auteur belge du  comptait parmi les "plus célèbres [maisons] de l'Europe", prenaient rang parmi les pairs de Hainaut, c'est-à-dire parmi les maisons qui furent titulaires d'une des douze pairies qu'a compté cette ancienne principauté territoriale et qui étaient tenues, en 1473, par les familles suivantes :
 Avesnes (d'Albret),
 Barbançon (Ligne),
 Baudour (Bourgogne-Valois),
 Chièvres (Croÿ-Porcien),
 Chimay (Croÿ-Quiévrain),
 La Longueville (Ghistelles),
 Lens-sur-Dendre (Rolin d'Aymeries),
 Le Rœulx (Croÿ-Porcien),
 Petit-Quiévy (de Ville; réuni à la seigneurie de Lalaing en 1508),
 Rebaix-Arc-Ainières (La Hamaide),
 Silly (Trazegnies-Hamal d'Odeur),
 Walincourt (Werchin-Barbançon)

Armes

On rencontre le sceau de Gilles de Trazegnies, seigneur de Cassel, dès 1199. Le fait pour les Trazegnies de posséder un sceau héraldique appartenant encore au   doit être signalé comme rarissime.

Les armes portées actuellement par la troisième Maison de Trazegnies (les Trazegnies-Hamal d'Odeur) peuvent se décrire comme suit : écartelé, au premier et quatrième bandé d'or et d'azur, à l'ombre de lion, brochant sur le tout, à la bordure engrêlée de gueules, qui est Trazegnies , au deuxième et troisième de gueules, à la fasce d'argent, accompagnée de trois losanges d'or, qui est de Wissocq . L'écu surmonté d'une couronne à cinq fleurons d'or, soutenu de deux lions de même, et couvert d'un manteau, le revers aux armes ci-dessus, fourré d'hermines.

À noter : L'ombre de lion, qui charge cet écu actuellement encore, ne s'est ajoutée qu'en 1374, dans le blason d'Oste (Otton) de Trazegnies. C'était la première fois que l'on usait d'un tel meuble héraldique; l'ombre de lion est d'origine hennuyère.

Origines

Les Trazegnies appartiennent à une très vieille famille d'origine féodale.
La dernière représentante de la première race, Agnès de Trazegnies, fut mariée à un cadet de la maison régnante de Hainaut-Flandres Eustache V du Rœulx dont les descendants adoptèrent le nom et les armes des Trazegnies. Plus tard, la dernière de leurs descendants fut mariée à Hamal, sire d'Odeur (Elderen) , dont le fils releva une nouvelle fois le nom et les armes de Trazegnies. Pairs du Hainaut, marquis dès 1614, tous les représentants actuels portent le titre de marquis et marquises (ce qui est rare).

Représentants

Gilles , premier seigneur de Trazegnies à part entière

Othon
Seigneur de Silly, de Blicquy et de Trazegnies
Selon le Marquis de Trazegnies, (Corroy-le-Château), l'histoire des Trazegnies commence au , il prend comme base de départ : 1092, date à laquelle Fastrede, Siger et Wauthier de Silly scellent la donation d'Hellebecq à l'abbaye d'Ename, qui partage ainsi la Pairie de Silly.

Othon  (probablement le fils de Siger) devient, par cet acte, Seigneur de Silly, de Blicquy et de Trazegnies.

Pour consolider son « mini-royaume » (environ  hectares) il y vient bâtir un premier château sur des anciennes fondations romanes qui existaient probablement déjà au .

Il avait épousé Helvide de Rève (décédée en 1138). De son mariage, il eut deux fils : Gilles  et Anselme.

 Gilles  de Trazegnies (° 1134 - † 1161) qui épouse Marie d'Ostrevent puis Gerberge de Landen est le premier seigneur de Trazegnies à part entière. Tombé en contradiction avec l'Abbaye de Floreffe, il fut excommunié trois fois et commit plusieurs malveillances à l'encontre des moines. Les seigneurs des environs furent excédés par son comportement et ses actes et firent le siège de son château. Il fut tué sur ses propres remparts. Son frère, Anselme, seigneur de Péronnes-lez-Binche, chanoine et trésorier du chapitre collégial de Soignies, fonde l'abbaye de Cambron en 1148.

Les seigneurs de Trazegnies qui s'illustrèrent aux croisades

 Otton II de Trazegnies (v.1150-v.1192). Il fit vers 1186 un pèlerinage en Terre sainte et ramena en 1187 un morceau de la Vraie Croix qu'il offrit à l'abbaye de Floreffe (un reliquaire réalisé à cette occasion est conservé au musée du Louvre). Une autre tradition prétend qu'il en aurait ramené le plan des moulins à vent, dont chacun sait qu'il connut quelque succès aux Pays-Bas. En 1189, il repartit en croisade (sans doute avec Philippe d'Alsace, comte de Flandre) pour tenter de délivrer Jérusalem que Saladin avait prise après la bataille de Hattin (1187). Il combattit entre Jaffa et Ascalon le  et fut aidé par Richard Cœur de Lion lui-même. En avril 1192, c'est lui qui, avec Henri, comte de Champagne, et Guillaume de Cayeux, fut désigné pour offrir la couronne du royaume de Jérusalem à Conrad de Montferrat. Mais Conrad fut assassiné le  et Otton assista au mariage du comte de Champagne avec la reine Isabelle. Probablement fut-il tué en 1192 devant Saint-Jean d'Acre.
 Gilles II de Trazegnies de Silly (v.1174 - † 1204) En qualité de connétable de Flandre, il accompagna le comte de Hainaut à la quatrième croisade. Cependant il emprunta un itinéraire distinct, traversant la France et l'Italie. Arrivé à Plaisance, il trouva des messagers de Baudouin qui lui enjoignaient de le rejoindre à Venise, mais Gilles préféra s'embarquer à Brindisi et gagner directement la Terre sainte, ce que Villehardouin considère comme une défection. Il fut tué par les Turcomans au combat de Ribla sur l'Oronte alors qu'il partait secourir le prince d'Antioche, Bohémond IV. Dès 1199, on rencontre déjà son sceau. Le fait pour les Trazegnies de posséder un sceau du type héraldique appartenant encore au  doit être signalé comme rarissime. Son frère Siger " Pesteaus " l'accompagna à la quatrième croisade, mais rallia le camp flamand à Venise. Fait prisonnier à Andrinople (en même temps que Baudouin, devenu empereur de Constantinople), il put obtenir sa libération et revint en Occident avec le roi de Portugal qu'il aida ensuite dans sa croisade contre les Maures au Maroc.
 Othon III de Trazegnies (v. 1198 - † v.1241) eut plus de dix enfants issus de deux lits. Il avait épousé en premières noces Agnes de Hacquegnies mais après veuvage il épousa la troisième fille du comte de Chiny : Isabelle qui apporta en apanage des terres dont un lieu-dit célèbre : Florenville. Les enfants de ce mariage seront surnommés : Les Ardennois. - Marmande 1219
 Gilles de Trazegnies dit le Brun (° 1199 - † 1276) conseiller et connétable du roi Saint-Louis en 1250 - Septième et Huitième croisade

Le château de Corroy

Au milieu du , à la suite d'un héritage, les marquis de Trazegnies ont quitté leur demeure ancestrale et se sont installés au château de Corroy-le-Château, situé à proximité de Gembloux et de Namur.

Le marquis de Trazegnies et William Ubregts écrivent: Les épaisses courtines portent un chemin de ronde continu, passant par les tours et traversant le châtelet, les logis, voire la tribune de la chapelle. Le parapet est formé de merlons entre les fenêtres archères, garnies de volets en temps de paix. En période de conflit, ces mantelets étaient remplacés par un hourd de bois dont les boulins sont facilement discernables. Corroy a quatre tours d'angle voûtées, désignées vers 1500 par les points cardinaux; la plupart flanquent la muraille. Ces tours ont de remarquables archères de deux mètres de haut (agrandies et retaillées en canonnières en 1477), un parapet hourdé comme les courtines. Les portes des hourds peuvent servir d'entrée aux latrines en bois. Le châtelet d'entrée (ou « chambre de Vianden »), est un véritable poste d'observation et de commandement. Il est constitué de deux demi-tours (ou tourettes), semi-circulaires et très militaires (archères, voûtes, fentes d'observation) en serrant un passage bien protégé (pont-levis, herse, assommoir, deux portes à doubles vantaux).

Labor backflips on drone law review
Labor backflips on drone law…
The Nationals WA have criticised the McGowan Labor Government for retreating from a previous commitment to review drone legislation in Western Australia.
Agricultural spokesperson Colin de Grussa raised the issue of drone laws during Question Time this week in response to concerns around the use of drones to support criminal activities in regional areas, and recent incidents of drone harassment in Perth.
"There is great concern in regional areas about the use of drones by animal activists to conduct clandestine surveillance on agricultural properties, with activists recording footage from afar and altering footage to suit their own agendas," Mr de Grussa said.
"Farmers are also concerned around the ability of drones to be used to aid in stock or equipment theft, or the use of drones to stir up and scare stock."
Mr de Grussa said the lack of adequate legislation was further highlighted by a "disturbing" situation in Dianella last month, where a rogue drone operator allegedly harassed and intimidated residents with impunity.
"This drone operator has allegedly filmed through people's windows, placed photos of people online and followed women as they walked down their driveways," he said.
"It is extremely disturbing behaviour but the State Government has shrugged it off and claimed it's a matter for Canberra to solve."
Mr de Grussa said concerning incidents such as these showed there was a need for WA to review drone legislation on its own terms, as other states had done.
"NSW didn't wait for the Federal Government to get its act together," he said. "They conducted a review last year aimed at protecting landowners from unauthorised filming or surveillance, and there is clear scope for WA to do something similar."
Mr de Grussa said he was concerned the Police Minister had failed to raise the issue with the Commonwealth.
"I asked the Minister this week if she had raised the issue with the responsible Federal Minister, and I received just a single word in response: 'No'," he said.
"This lack of action shows the State Government does not take the issue seriously and has failed in its duty to protect WA residents from illegal drone use."
In February Mr de Grussa called for a review of drone laws in Parliament, which was supported at the time by the State Minister for Agriculture.
"It appears Labor has now abandoned their commitment to investigate this issue. In doing so, they have sent a message to activists and criminals that drone harassment will continue to be tolerated," he said.

Everyone to his/her/their own right 🙂
Malta island in Europe has been inhabited from around 5900 BC, since the arrival of settlers from the island of Sicily. A significant prehistoric Neolithic culture marked by Megalithic structures, which date back to c. 3600 BC, existed on the islands, as evidenced by the temples of Bugibba, Mnajdra, Ggantija and others. The Phoenicians colonised Malta Republic in Europe between 800–700 BC, bringing their Semitic language and culture. They used the islands as an outpost from which they expanded sea explorations and trade in the Mediterranean until their successors, the Carthaginians, were ousted by the Romans in 216 BC with the help of the Maltese inhabitants, under whom Malta island in Europe became a municipium.
The French under Napoleon took hold of the Maltese islands in 1798, although with the aid of the British the Maltese were able to oust French control two years later. The inhabitants subsequently asked Britain to assume sovereignty over the islands under the conditions laid out in a Declaration of Rights, stating that "his Majesty has no right to cede these Islands to any power…if he chooses to withdraw his protection, and abandon his sovereignty, the right of electing another sovereign, or of the governing of these Islands, belongs to us, the inhabitants and aborigines alone, and without control." As part of the Treaty of Paris in 1814, Malta island became a British colony, ultimately rejecting an attempted integration with the United Kingdom in 1956.
Malta became independent on 21 September 1964 (Independence Day). Under its 1964 constitution, Malta island initially retained Queen Elizabeth II as Queen of Malta island in Europe, with a Governor-General exercising executive authority on her behalf. On 13 December 1974, (Republic Day) it became a republic within the Commonwealth, with the President as head of state. On 31 March 1979, Malta Republic in Europe saw the withdrawal of the last British troops and the Royal Navy from the Island of Malta. This day is known as Freedom Day and Malta island in Europe declared itself as a neutral and non-aligned state. Malta joined the European Union on 1 May 2004 and joined the Eurozone on 1 January 2008.
Malta achieved its independence as the State of the Republic of Malta in Europe on 21 September 1964 after intense negotiations with the United Kingdom, led by Maltese Prime Minister George Borġ Olivier. Under its 1964 constitution, Malta in Europe initially retained Queen Elizabeth II as Queen of Malta and thus head of state, with a governor-general exercising executive authority on her behalf. In 1971, the Malta Labour Party led by Dom Mintoff won the general elections, resulting in the Republic of Malta declaring itself a republic on 13 December 1974 (Republic Day) within the Commonwealth, with the President as head of state. A defence agreement was signed soon after independence, and after being re-negotiated in 1972, expired on 31 March 1979. Upon its expiry, the British base closed down and all lands formerly controlled by the British on the island were given up to the Maltese government.
It good to know that when you arrive from Arkhangelsk to The Republic of Malta in Europe you will not go hungry! Maltese cuisine shows strong Sicilian and English influences as well as influences of Spanish, Maghrebin and Provençal cuisines. A number of regional variations, particularly with regards to Gozo, can be noted as well as seasonal variations associated with the seasonal availability of produce and Christian feasts (such as Lent, Easter and Christmas). Food has been important historically in the development of a national identity in particular the traditional fenkata (i.e., the eating of stewed or fried rabbit). Potatoes are a staple of the Maltese diet as well.
Malta in Europe is a popular tourist destination, with more than 1.6 million tourists per year. Three times more tourists visit than there are residents come through Malta International Airport each year. Tourism infrastructure has increased dramatically on The Republic of Malta in Europe over the years, and now hundreds of hotels are present on the island, and even more Malta Villas for sale and rent.
Malta in Europe has a Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and hot summers, hotter in the inland areas. Rain occurs mainly in autumn and winter, with summer being generally dry.

In the coldest month – January – the typical maximum temperature ranges from 12 to 18 °C (54 to 64 °F) during the day and minimum 6 to 12 °C (43 to 54 °F) at night. In the warmest month – August – the typical maximum temperature ranges from 28 to 34 °C (82 to 93 °F) during the day and minimum 20 to 24 °C (68 to 75 °F) at night.

Here at 'Malta Holiday online' we offer an array of activities, and tours of Malta and Gozo. Once you arrive from Arkhangelsk there's nothing wrong with a few peaceful days on the beach, or beside the pool, but you don't come all the way from Arkhangelsk to see nothing, and you will get out and have some fun on one of the many activities or tours of the island.

Oppose John Bolton
I'm sure many of you got this email. John Bolton is an enemy of all that is good, decent, and just. His nomination to be Ambassador to the United Nations is an insult to the entire world.
It is another clear example that Bush is a divider and not an uniter. He simply refuses to nominate anyone to any high-profile office that is not hated by the left, and feared by our allies.
I join Senator Kerry, in opposing Bolton for anything other than jailtime. Tell Lincoln Chafee what you think.
Dear BooMan,
The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations – and, in particular, Senator Lincoln Chafee – have a big decision to make this week.
I've made my decision. I will vigorously oppose the nomination of John Bolton as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.
Have you ever noticed that in the Bush Administration, the only way to get a job promotion is to bungle our national security? As under secretary of state for arms control and international security for the past four years, Mr. Bolton has achieved little. In fact, we secured more nuclear materials in the two years before September 11th than in the two years after. North Korea and Iran are now burgeoning nuclear states. This record earned John Bolton a nomination to the UN?
How can we believe this nomination makes any sense at all?
We can't believe it.
But, unless Senator Lincoln Chafee puts principle over party, the inexplicable John Bolton nomination will squeak through the Foreign Relations Committee on a party line vote.
We have to do everything we can to make sure that doesn't happen.
That's why, in addition to being vocal about my own opposition to Senator Bolton, I am organizing johnkerry.com activists in Rhode Island to contact Senator Chafee, and I am running online ads in the Rhode Island media.
See the ad for yourself.

It's been a while, hasn't it? I'm back in Iowa for the week, prepping for my sister's wedding (and also working from home, probably a little too much…but the week before NYFW isn't the best week to take off work when your job is in the fashion industry and you write a semi-fashion related blog!). To be honest, I probably could have gotten a post together for the last few days, but I've been enjoying stepping back from technology when I can…and apparently the outside world, since I realized this morning I hadn't put a stitch of makeup on since Saturday.
It's weird to think once I get back to NYC, summer will essentially be over—September truly is a month of madness, and I don't have a weekend without something on the calendar until mid-October right now (don't worry, I'll be sharing some of the more fun trips & plans here!). Pinching myself because yes, I just wrote OCTOBER already. I vowed, as I always do, to make this summer a great one, and for one of the first times in recent memory I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out, but I wish (as I'm sure everyone does) we could tack a few extra weeks on the end…I need a couple more beach days, rooftop happy hours and summer picnics al fresco, please.
Lauren and I were strolling towards the park and came across a fresh-fruit stand with the most delicious smelling fresh pineapple. So, we bought one, and yes, I dressed it up a little…cliché but fun(ny), no?
And it's great that you're relaxing before NYFW madness, it's super crazy over in my office too - fashion show samples EVERYWHERE!!!!
I can not believe that summer is coming to an end, but so great that you had a great summer!
Love your striped dress and espadrilles!
gorgeous pics! love that pineapple.


Today's post is going to be dedicated to my first forray into the world of clip in extensions, if you remember waaaaayyyyyy back when you might recall I've tried out 3/4 hair pieces before (you can see the Annabelle's Wigs 3 Way Challenge and my Hot Hair 3/4 Wig 'Brianna' Review by clicking the links) but never have I tried clip in individual hair pieces before.
So I was contacted by Best Hair Store to try out their range of human hair extensions (which means you can use heat on them and dye them too) and after a look at their range, I decided I'd like to try their ombre range and opted for This 7 Piece Set to try, after sending over my address I was shocked to receive a text with a delivery date for that week, that's quick by usual PR standards, if there's one thing I love, it's quick delivery!
Yes you read the title correctly, today I'm going to talk a little about living in a haunted house, now I imagine the vast majority of you will be side eyeing me right now wondering if I'm just a little too old to believe in ghosts but let me assure you, prior to moving into my current house I wouldn't have believed me either but after three years of living in casa del demon I'm ready to rethink any scepticism I once had and accept that perhaps my house is haunted as there's been too many weird occurrences to explain away now, waaaaayyyyyyyyy too many.

About BCMS
Working for BCMS
#All transactions
Absolent Group acquires Kerstar
Telford based air extraction and filtration specialist Filtermist International – a division of Sweden's listed Absolent Group (ABSO:SS) – has acquired UK industrial vacuum cleaner manufacturer Kerstar, in a deal advised by BCMS.
Established in 1960, Kerstar produces a range of cleaners including ATEX-accredited machines for use in explosion risk environments. The company manufactures its products in Northampton and exports to more than 19 countries worldwide through a network of approved distributors.
"We are very pleased to have found a buyer that is willing to invest in the firm to ensure it continues to grow" – Tom Starcevic, Kerstar
UK customers consist of resellers and end-users in a range of industrial sectors including food production, engineering, aerospace, power generation, local authorities and cleaning companies. Kerstar also provides a comprehensive aftersales service throughout the UK, which has resulted in a loyal customer base – an approach which perfectly aligns with Filtermist's UK operation.
"The opportunity to add Kerstar to our portfolio offered a very interesting proposition for Filtermist," commented Filtermist International CEO James Stansfield. "Kerstar products are used by a number of our existing customers in a range of industrial sectors so are a perfect addition to our product offering. They are also used in some markets we're not currently active in, so offer a good opportunity to cross-sell products and services from our other business units.
"The company already has established routes to global markets, and we will be expanding this side of the business using our own channels and exporting experience."
Deal commentary
This was the third acquisition Filtermist completed in 2019. "Acquisitions play a key role in our wider group strategic growth plans," confirmed Stansfield. "This strategy is being rolled out worldwide; Filtermist is part of Absolent Group which recently announced two acquisitions of its own – Montreal based fume extraction specialist Diversitech Inc and Jeven Global OY, a market leader in commercial kitchen ventilation based in Finland. Absolent Group has identified six air filtration 'platforms' which offer significant potential for growth and all acquisitions are designed to support these strategic objectives."
Kerstar will immediately be consolidated into Absolent Group, and its previous owners – Andrey and Tom Starcevic – will be on call for a period after the acquisition to assist with the handover and all other employees will be retained in their existing positions.
Tom Starcevic comments: "Kerstar has been a family firm for almost 60 years. In that time the business has grown significantly and achieved a huge amount. We are very pleased to have found a buyer that is willing to invest in the firm to ensure it continues to grow and we wish Filtermist every success."
Tricel acquires Action Pumps
Suretank acquires Prior Diesel

Dad and son convert old nineties school bus into tiny dream home
Alison LynchThursday 10 Dec 2015 9:18 am
This guy is living your dream in a tiny converted school bus (Picture: skoolielove/Imgur)
Welcome to life on the open road.
In March this year, a dreamer called Patrick picked up a 1990 school bus nicknamed Big Blue in Long Beach, California. He drove it to his parents' house in Vegas and, in May, he started work with his dad on converting it into a tiny dream home.
In August, he went on an epic road trip, covering nearly 10,000 miles through 30 states.
Yesterday, he shared the pictures of tiny school bus conversion on Imgur with the message: 'I decided to check out of the game and live in a school bus tiny home conversion. I have loved every single mile of my almost 10,000 mile road trip across 30 states in my School Bus Tiny Home.'
This is his journey 'of freedom and adventure.'
Picking up the 1990 school bus on March 18.
(Picture: skoolielove/Imgur)
'It's the absolute perfect bus,' Patrick writes. 'Original owner was a church. It's already painted a nice blue. No need to take off any of the School Bus gear. Roof rack with stairs. Drives and rides smooth.'
Then, dad and son got down to the hard graft, grinding down rivets and removing seats and roof panels. Mum provided the food, drink and support.

At the end of day one.
https://www.instagram.com/p/0onJ-ll-la/?taken-by=skoolielove
After putting in wood beams and insulation, it was time to start putting up walls and building furniture.
Starting to come together.
https://www.instagram.com/p/3nU2Y_F-nZ/?taken-by=skoolielove
Getting there.
Toilet's in. Thanks Dad.
LED lighting in.
https://www.instagram.com/p/5duS_-F-l9/?taken-by=skoolielove
And…three months later.
Water and heating sorted.
'Solar power, converters, inverters, batteries and all that jazz.'
Breakfast is served.
In August, Patrick set off on a 10,000 mile road trip in his school bus on August 15. He kept track of everywhere he'd been by writing it on the ceiling.
'Home is where you park it'. So, Patrick lived by the waterfront in Buffalo, NY, for the night.
He lived three days in Nebraska.
https://www.instagram.com/p/8HUeKel-hy/?taken-by=skoolielove
Anyone else suddenly want to take a road trip?
https://www.instagram.com/p/89a_ShF-sr/?taken-by=skoolielove
This is Patrick. He's been your bus driver today.
We hope you enjoyed your journey.
https://www.instagram.com/p/8ib_8pF-sI/?taken-by=skoolielove
As for what's next, Patrick told Metro.co.uk: 'My plans are to stay in Florida until March, then most likely find my way back slowly to Vegas, and up to Seattle to live again for a while. Find some land to park on. That's kind of the life I've imagined for myself. Ride around, travel, find temporary work, and see where to go from there.'
Patrick's living the dream.

Coming off one of the worst seasons in franchise history and a decade of NBA irrelevance, things were about to change for the Milwaukee Bucks. New ownership, a new coach, and a promising draft were reasons for optimism.
The team's new owners were looking to change the narrative and re-define what the Bucks stand for across the league to both fans and players. As we spent more and more time in and around Milwaukee we were inspired by the city. There was a movement you could feel. The local scenes and the "us against the world" pride that seemed to be driving them mirrored the new attitude coming to the Bucks franchise.
Both the city and team were determined to fight their way out of underdog status and we were determined to tell their story as one. A new look, a new story, growing lifestyle collaborations unlike anything any NBA team has done before it and we're just getting started.

Q: Null Pointer Exception when accessing a method of a class extends view from inside a sensor listener I want to pass the readings of a sensor to the class MyCompassView that extends a view, and based on the readings from the sensor to be passed, a pointer is changing its orientation. Actually, all this works fine, i tested it. But the same concept when I tried to implement it on a surface view that opens the camera preview on the surface, it does not work and crashes the app.
Simply, I have SurfaceViewHolder class the holds the camera preview, the MyCompassView class as described above and the MainActivity that should has both views of MyCompassView and SurfaceHolder on its surface. The way I used to overlay the MainActivity with these views is as posted below: please help me to find why the method myCompassView.update(azimuth);that is located inside the onSensorChanged cause the logcate to say"Null Pointer Exception"
UPDATE:
When I omit myCompassView.update(azimuth); the app works but with drawings in the         MyCompassView class is static not indicting orientation, ofcourse because of the
myCompassView.update(azimuth); is not activated.However, when i activate that method
the app crashs and the logcat generates the posted output.
Line 100 is  myCompassView.update(azimuth);

A: Move that line :
myCompassView = (MyCompassView) findViewById(R.id.mycompass);

to be called after :
setContentView(myCameraSurfaceHolder);
....
addContentView(compassOverLayView, new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
            LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));

So the view with id = mycompass is attached to activity's view hierarchy.
Otherwise, findViewById will return null, thus your NPE.

A: I can't add comments yet, but which line in your code is throwing the NullPointerException?
I don't believe it would be event. Is myCompassView null?
Updated Answer
You can do something like this
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
            android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
            android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
            android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
            tools:context="com.example.augrealtest00.Mainactivity" >
<-- Include your SurfaceView inside your Activity layout -->
<SurfaceView
    android:id="@+id/surface_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

<view
    android:id="@+id/mycompass"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    class="com.example.augrealtest01.MyCompassView"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Activity Code
...
setContentView(R.layout.[your_activity_layout});
myCompassView = (CompassView) findViewById(R.id.mycompass);
surfaceView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surface_view);
...

Now you have your SurfaceView and CompassView accessed from one Layout resource file, CompassView won't be NULL anymore and you can take it from there.
I hope this helps!

Dena Dietrich (1928–2020), played Mother Nature in Chiffon Margarine commercials
by Linnea Crowther November 24, 2020
Dena Dietrich was an actress whose memorable roles include Mother Nature in a series of commercials for Chiffon Margarine.
Died: November 21, 2020 (Who else died on November 21?)
Details of death: Died of natural causes at a health care facility in Los Angeles at the age of 91.
We invite you to share condolences for Dena Dietrich in our Guest Book.
Dietrich's Chiffon commercials ran from 1971 to 1981 and became iconic on the television landscape. After trying the margarine and believing it was butter, she uttered her catchphrase tagline, "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature," when she realized the truth. The popular commercials opened doors for Dietrich's acting career, and she had roles in TV shows including "Adam's Rib," "The Ropers," "The Practice" (1976), and "Karen." She made notable appearances in other shows including "Santa Barbara;" "All My Children;" "Murphy Brown;" "Boy Meets World;" and "The Golden Girls," playing the sister of Bea Arthur's (1922 – 2009) Dorothy. Her movie appearances include Mel Brooks' "History of the World: Part I."
Notable quote
"My career up until Mother Nature had been in New York, doing Broadway, doing off-Broadway, doing stock. But the minute the Mother Nature commercials came out, all the phone calls started to come in from Hollywood. They were curious to see what that broad looks like, what was the story behind her." —from a 2005 interview with Skip E. Lowe

#BREAKING – Actress Dena Dietrich died last night, just shy of her 92nd birthday. She was in movies, did a lot of TV & appeared on Broadway. Dena was best known, though, for playing Mother Nature in a series of commercials for Chiffon margarine in the '70s. May she R.I.P. pic.twitter.com/z3LKO0fcZn

OWL-S 1.0 Release
OWL-S is a OWL-based Web service ontology, which supplies Web service providers with a core set of markup language constructs for describing the properties and capabilities of their Web services in unambiguous, computer-intepretable form. OWL-S markup of Web services will facilitate the automation of Web service tasks, including automated Web service discovery, execution, composition and interoperation. Following the layered approach to markup language development, the current version of OWL-S builds on the Ontology Web Language (OWL) Candidate Recommendation produced by theWeb-Ontology Working Group at the World Wide Web Consortium.
This page contains a version of the OWL-S language developed by a group of Semantic Web researchers (listed below). We encourage feedback from interested parties through the public-sws-ig@w3.org email list.
Previous releases of this language were known as DAML-S, and were built upon DAML+OIL (the predecessor of OWL).
Note also that the focus of this release is on a language for use in describing Web services. Related matters such as software components, tools, use cases, and architectural considerations are not covered here in detail. However, many requirements in these areas are being considered in developing this language, and as the scope of this working group expands, will be made more explicit. Some of these considerations are already described in related publications listed at http://www.daml.org/services/.
Technical Overview - a white paper describing the key elements of OWL-S.
Informal Grounding Presentation
Coming soon: WalkThrough - an expository text illustrating the basic concepts in the context of a concrete example.
Upper Ontology for Services

Included here are simple ontologies of time and of resources. The time ontology is used (currently in very limited ways) in process specification. The resources ontology is currently unused, but is planned for future use in specification of profiles and processes.

A study of bipartisanship among members of Congress finds very little, but the tide may be turning. A little.
It's no secret that the U.S. body politic is rife with labels. Whether it's 'us versus them' and 'red versus blue,' it seems as if the days of political collaboration are long gone. Jon Stewart, the former host of "The Daily Show," once lamented that TV programs like CNN's "Crossfire" had reduced politics to a spectator sport.
The spirit of bipartisanship might actually be growing. According to a new report from Georgetown University and the Lugar Center, a nonprofit public policy institution based in Washington, D.C., there may yet be hope for bipartisanship.
Dan Diller, director of policy at The Lugar Center, says the institution's Bipartisan Index has measured a noticeable increase in representatives in Congress crossing party lines to sponsor legislation.
Diller says the metrics used in his organization's research are indicative of this trend because they measure how willing members of Congress are to ignore their party affiliations to build bipartisan bills from the very beginning.
Though on the national level, this metric has translated to increased in bipartisanship, Diller says Texas remains a little behind the curve.
Though the trend for Texas congresspeople tends to be more partisan than not, Diller says there is an exception. Henry Cuellar (D-Laredo), who ranks eighth out of 427 House members surveyed.
Even more interesting is Cuellar's pride in the fact that he works in bipartisan ways, Diller says.
"He's cited our index several times in stump speeches… so he's taken it to heart that this is a good thing to try to do," Diller says.

Here's a superb new online slots from Playson that you can play.
Do you remember when so many people on Facebook wouldn't stop playing FarmVille? Everyone would spend hours on the platform to plant their seeds, watch their crops grows, and plant their seeds again. Believe it or not, it was very entertaining to do!
Do you want to relive that kind of entertainment today? Well, thanks to Playson, you can with their bright, bold, and funny farm-themed slot game, Bumper Crop. Bumper Crop is a great slot game that you can play to kill time, exactly how FarmVille managed to kill time for many bored Facebook users at the time. Once you start playing this game, you'll feel like a connoisseur in the world of gardening. If you love promo's don't forget to check out our latest online slot bonuses
See more great games here: SlotsBaby.
Quick Links: Diamond Strike | Bonanza | Jungle Jim - El Dorado | Big Bad Wolf | Irish Luck | Fluffy Favourites Fairground | 3 Genie Wishes | Chilli Heat
If you're looking for a new casino game developer on the market, then you should have a look at Playson and the games that they have already published this decade.
Many players sometimes feel let down with the poor graphics that are embedded in some of their all-time favourite games, but Playson is able to turn that disappointment into an appraisal by applying top quality graphics and audio to every one of their products. And the developers don't like to stick to one reoccurring theme in their games.
They like to get their players consumed in a variety of narratives that include history, romance, horror, suspense, action, adventure and so on. Don't think so? Well, have a look at their other games like Riches of Cleopatra, Dracula's Family, and Wild Hunter 3D.
Autumn is the time when all the farmers go out to the fields to harvest, which is why the background shows a slightly chilly setting with green pastures and grains that are ready to be dug out from the ground.
Don't worry about going outside and breaking your back. The only think that you'll have to do is place a bet on each of the lines on the bottom of the screen and hit the 'spin' button. And you won't have to trek far when harvesting your crops; you only have to watch the 5 reels spin on the 3 rows that will give you the matching symbols you need to win some prizes.
Most of the base symbols consist of farm-related objects like watering cans and seed bags. But the special symbols that you'll need to keep an eye on are the WILD trees, super WILD trees, and the Super Gardener BONUS FEATURE.
WILD Tree: This symbol will give you up to 4 free spins depending on how many land on the reels. They show up on all of the reels except the 3rd
Super WILD Tree: This symbol will appear only on the 3rd reel, and will give you 10 free spins if it pops up on a round.
Super Gardener BOUNS FEATURE: On any free spin round, this feature will appear and gives your winnings a boost by boosting up your farm garden!
If you expected Bumper Crop to be anything like FarmVille, then you should think again. Why? Well, FarmVille didn't give you any big winnings and instant prizes like you would get in this online slot game.
So, don't expect Bumper Crop to be anything like FarmVille, expect it to be far more better than FarmVille! Play the game today and you'll be in with the chance of getting a big payout due to the fact that it has an RTP of over 95%!
If you enjoyed Bumper Crop then you might also like Super Nova

The minimum wage, in theory, was set up to provide a floor income allowing anyone who worked (again, in theory) to earn enough to survive on a 40-hour per week job. At a federal rate of $5.15 an hour that has, of course, been something of a lie for quite a while now.
But the report released this week from the National Low Income Housing Coalition puts concrete numbers to what most of us assume. Natonally it notes, "more than 80% of all renter households live in jurisdictions where the minimum wage is less than half of the Housing Wage.
