Inside Automotive:
How consumer privacy controls are reshaping auto marketing strategies
As privacy laws expand giving consumers more control, what type of impact is this having on you, the advertiser? And what can you do about it? Today on Inside Automotive, we're pleased to welcome back Bob Lanham, Head of Automotive Retail for Meta, to talk to us about the impact of consumer privacy controls and we'll also get his perspective on other changes the industry is seeing right now. Watch the complete segment here.
Last week, President Joe Biden announced the United States will be tapping into the strategic petroleum reserve to lower gas prices, which have now exceeded record highs. He said one million barrels of oil would be released per day for the next six months, but added he does not know how much the move will alleviate gas prices or how long it will take for Americans to see a drop in prices at the pump. He also criticized oil companies, saying that they made almost $80 billion in profits last year and should be utilizing the money to produce more oil throughout the country.
On Friday, the House Oversight and Reform Committee announced it would be holding a hearing on Tuesday regarding the United States Postal Service's March 24 purchase of 50,000 so-called "next-generation delivery vehicles." Just 20% of the order is for electric vehicles. Some committee members expect to urge the Postal Service to increase this number, arguing that its current plans will fail to meet the white house's goal to have an all-electric civilian fleet by 2035. The Postal Service has continuously cited less-than-ideal financial conditions because it is hesitant to purchase more electric delivery vehicles.
Reuters reported that Volkswagen would recall over 100,000 hybrid vehicles due to the risk of fires. Affected models include Passats, Golfs, Arteons, and Tiguans as well as various Audi vehicles. Germany's Motor Transport Authority, KBA, said that the engine design cover on some vehicles could come into contact with hot parts and cause a fire. It is the latest recall for Volkswagen after the automaker recalled hundreds of thousands of vehicles last month due to braking issues and airbag defects.
Last week, the White House announced that President Biden would be invoking the Defense Production Act to speed up the production of critical materials and reduce America's dependence on foreign countries. The DPA was first enacted in 1950 and was most recently used to prioritize the production of covid-19 protection and treatment measures. The current application of the act will allow the U.S. government to allocate more financial incentives and resources to finding ways to stabilize supply chains of metals and minerals necessary for electric vehicle batteries and other environmentally-friendly mechanisms.

VinFast to manufacture in North Carolina with a $4 billion investment
Vietnamese electric vehicle (EV) startup VinFast confirmed earlier this week that it had chosen North Carolina as the location of a new production facility. VinFast's facility will be the first auto factory ever in North Carolina. The North Carolina Commerce Department verified that the so-called "megasite" will be located in Chatham County at the Triangle Innovation Point. The facility, south of Raleigh, will span over 2,000 acres and is expected to have more than 7,500 employees in the next five years. Read More
3 best practices for CRM customization
The past few years have been a challenge for all industries – I'd argue especially retail automotive. Shuttered showrooms, a boom in digital retailing, lack of new cars on the ground, and a pivot to selling pipeline and virtual inventory all changed the "normal" sales process. It's not surprising that our recent CDK Global Automotive Retail Friction Report revealed that 94 percent of the 303 dealers surveyed are reevaluating their sales process. It's a smart move to leverage CRM customizations to support new workflows. Your CRM can help facilitate and orchestrate the customer journey, manage leads across all channels, and uncover new sales opportunities. Read more

Syfy Acquires New Zealand Series THE ALMIGHTY JOHNSONS
Expanding its stable of international hits such as Lost Girl and Continuum, Syfy today announced it has acquired the first two seasons (23 episodes) of the popular New Zealand scripted series The Almighty Johnsons from independent television distributor ALL3MEDIA International.
The Almighty Johnsons is a production of South Pacific Pictures.

The action-packed comedy drama The Almighty Johnsons follows the Johnson boys, four typical fun-loving guys – who have inherited the power of Norse Gods. But these four brothers are no flashy superheroes. Everyday Gods have everyday struggles – searching for love, overcoming sibling rivalry and fulfilling their God-like destiny – while still enjoying a few beers with their mates.
Chris Regina, Senior Vice President, Programming, Syfy, said: "We're delighted to introduce quality New Zealand programming to the Syfy audience. A compelling blend of fantasy and comedy, this quirky series should resonate strongly with our viewers."

With the introduction of cattle genotyping in 2008, breeding animals for both dairy and beef may seem to have become rather more complicated for farmers. Not only is there an implication that they must understand the science of genetics but they are also required to understand and process genetic data in order to make informed choices on improving the genetic merit of a dairy or beef herd. The National Bovine Data Centre (NBDC) acts as a knowledge resource to assist breeders and farmers with the science of genomics for both breeding and management. The data produced can be divided into two categories, phenotype and genotype and we look at these here.
Phenotypes inform the farmer as to a cow's actual performance. For example, if a dairy cow produces a lot of milk and is trouble free and healthy, then it should be kept in the herd regardless as to its actual genetic merit. Phenotyping assists the farmer to make herd management decisions which may include specific feeding regimes, a farm's culling policy and all round animal husbandry and necessary welfare issues. Without this data, it is down to each individual farmer to make decisions based upon knowledge and experience rather than underpinned by hard facts.
Genotyping, or using genetic data to inform breeding choices, is concerned with the genetic merit of an animal and should be used to assist in the selection of a breeding bull as well as the dam. In order to be profitable, farmers need to breed new stock that will perform well in an average dairy herd and selecting breeding dairy stock that fit performance standards can thus be enhanced with the use of genotyping.
Performance in dairy cows can be altered by the way in which they are managed but the use of phenotype and genotype data removes these effects from the equation helping to give a far clearer picture as to how a cow will perform and making breeding dairy cows simpler.
The National Bovine Data Centre publishes genetic evaluation data regularly, and for 2017 the publication dates are Tuesday, August 8 and Tuesday, December 5. The centre has also developed a suite of software which can assist with breeding dairy stock to ensure that future generations of dairy cattle have increased genetic merit, which in turn leads to improved profitability. This information is accessed via the NBDC's Breeding Toolbox.

Elections, Politics
The Parties Are Broken
Bernie Sanders, the self described Democratic Socialist and Independent Senator from Vermont, is leading the current pack of Democratic hopefuls for the White House. Gone are party favorites like NJ Senator Corey Booker or California Senator Kamala Harris. Former Vice-President Joe Biden is lagging behind and as strong as he is running, Pete Buttigieg is struggling to build a national apparatus in time for Super Tuesday. Meanwhile two billionaires, Tom Steyer and former Republican turned Independent turned Democratic Michael Bloomberg are blanketing the airwaves with millions of dollars and rising in the polls.
If anything, Donald Trump's evisceration of his opponents in 2016 was proof of how little power the "party" had in modern American elections. Remember Jeb Bush throwing $130 million down the drain, Marco Rubio was the darling of the establishment and the market loving wing of the party swooned for Ted Cruz. They got but-kiss, These politicians attacked Trump on everything and nothing worked enough to derail his candidacy.
Historically, a political party's role has been to 1) win elections, 2) supply money to candidates and 3) influence voters by signaling who the party supports. There was a forth category at one time when the party would actually choose nominees but the creation of direction elections with the 16th Amendment and the advent of the modern primary and state conventions changed this. Much as the GOP party apparatus appears broken and unable to steer voters towards preferred nominees, on the Democratic side, Bernie is merely continuing the trend.
In both his 2016 bid and this go-round, Bernie was soundly rejected by party insiders. Remember the two black Senators from NJ and CA mentioned above? Well, ten months ago they were the preferred choices of party insiders by a huge margin. They both dropped out before Iowa. Of those party insiders, more than half said they would not support Bernie. To be fair, most still don't. Bernie's campaign, as a result, is made up of outsiders and insurgents the establishment and traditional party apparatus reject.
But like an unstoppable train, Bernie's campaign mirrors Trump's in winning the early states by close margins and building on those wins to march forward while capitalizing on an excited and motivated base. Herein lies the rub. When most average voters are undecided this early in the game it becomes harder and harder to stop insurgent campaigns with a motivated core of say 25 percent support. It is clear Democrats have no idea how to stop Bernie.
There was once a time when the parties would be able to defeat these outsiders even after the advent of the primary. For over 50 years the parties were able to select "safe" candidates. On the GOP side it saw Richard Nixon defeating Barry Goldwater, Ford defeating Reagan, HW Bush over Patrick Buchanan, GW Bush and Mitt Romney defeating Rick Santorum. On the Democratic side we have seen Jimmy Carter, Dukakis, John Kerry and Hillary Clinton. Indeed, the parties were so successful at this it led to the publication of a book in 2008 called The Party Decides.
But modern campaigns have become harder to "steer." For the better part of the last decade, the parties have had a lousy track record in statewide and district level races where they lose clout. But, until now, Presidential races were something they could still influence.
What has changed the dynamic you might ask? Well, for one, the media has become increasingly diversified thanks to the advent of technology and alternative sources of information. Not only does this lead to more outlets for the opinions of the elites to be challenged but it allows candidates challenging the elite narrative to go directly to the voters. If you know them, think of BrietBart on the right and Daily Kos on the left.
Consider historically the media has been known as the gatekeepers of information. But with the advent of Twitter, Facebook, podcasts, blogs, and the dark-web there are now far, far too many gates to keep. People can find their preferred candidate simply by sitting at a computer and looking up a few websites vs. taking the advice of a talking head.
Along with diversified sources of information come new and diffuse ways to raise cash. More sources of cash means more money. More money means more Presidential candidates. Spending on Presidential campaigns has soared since 1990, as has the number of candidates in each contest. In 2012, the GOP Presidential primary had six potentially viable contenders (excluding Mitt Romney). By 2016, the number had doubled. Every imaginable wing of the party had a candidate from evangelicals to businessmen to libertarians to fiscal and national security hawks.
The Democratic field of this cycle makes that look like a joke. At one time there were 29 candidates running. Arguably, the top two candidates most likely to win the nomination were not even Democrats 10 years ago (Bloomberg and Bernie).
But, while there may be more money in presidential cycles there is less of it go go-round. Donors often sit on the sidelines for months on end waiting for the field to be clearer. They also do not want to antagonize or depress partisan turnout. In much the same way do political endorsers behave. They wait, later and later, until the field becomes clearer. But, by the time they endorse, the race may already be decided and if they had endorsed sooner it might have helped their preferred candidate.
Taken together, these factors have helped tip the source of power in elections from the party to the voters. One could argue on the surface this would be good. It is, to an extent. But cautionary tales abound where one party nominates an extreme candidate in a contest and blows the race (ie. Roy Moore in Alabama).
But the bigger caution might be this year's Democratic primary. The party's inability to coalesce support around one candidate has opened the door for a billionaire, like Michael Bloomberg (and that other dude too), to blanket the airwaves and basically buy voter support. In this case, the voter does not really have the power. They are just basically being heavily influenced, harassed, bribed, whatever you would like to call it, to vote for a certain candidate.
This means the future of party politics is uncertain. The decentralization of the campaign process through the years combined with the advent of technology and its impacts on modern campaigns means the traditional party apparatus as we know it is probably gone for good.
But, perhaps we will see a different kind of party apparatus in the future. One, ironically for Democrats at least, which takes its cues from religion.
While religious affiliation in the United States has been dropping – particularly among the young – the faiths often with the strictest rules and interpretations are growing (ie. Mormons and Orthodox Jews). The initial logic on why is two-fold. First, it costs a significant amount to enter the group (membership dues, personal sacrifice). Secondly, failure to adhere to these rules leads to a significant social cost in the group. Hence, in the marketplace of religion and church, niche beats general and fervent following beats moderation.
In much the same way, the dynamic for parties in modern elections might be the same. Strong parties have the luxury of selecting moderate candidates. They can influence voters and money. But, in US elections, weak parties face more challenges. The factional dynamic of modern campaigns means weak parties might do better to support factional candidates with a low ceiling and a high floor.
In this analogy, Bernie Sanders movement is a strict church. He certainly is a factional candidate (never eclipsing 30 percent support in any national poll), but then again almost no other candidate has either. His uncompromising politics means his base has few alternatives and it leads to a high floor. It is little coincidence Bernie made it to the Convention with Clinton in 2016 and never dropped to single digits nationally or in Iowa when his campaign was sagging.
Politics, like culture, tends to move in cycles rather than a straight line. Political parties tend to begin weak, become strong, and become weak and strong all over again. Or, they do extinct. Perhaps if Sanders wins the nomination and loses to Trump or Bloomberg buys the nomination and loses the party will be able to use two terms of Trump to convince their voters why the elites tacking to the center is the best way forward. Just like they did with Jimmy Carter after Mondale's annihilation in 1972.
I wouldn't bet on it though. The forces benefiting factional candidates; the diversification of media, democratization of fundraising sources, and abundance of candidates with a marginal shot of winning and advantage of nice sources of support (high floor, low ceiling) are not going away anytime soon. Until parties find a way to navigate this new political reality, the strictest candidates will find continual success. Because, it seems, politics is becoming more like church everyday.

Q: How can I bundle up the input data by users and the numbers generated by my sudoku generator, and pass them to Django? I've made the sudoku generator and the templates, but now I stuck in posting the whole array(9x9) to Django (i.e. sudoku_checker) for checking the duplicates and determine whether the user can go next game.
Here is my template looks like in Django, and you'll see I've indexed/positioned every single table cell, thought it might help with later checking:

Sudoku of the day

          {% for row in numbers %}

                {% for col in row %}
                {% if col is 0 %}

                    <input class="d0" size="1" autocomplete="off" maxlength="1" name="{{ forloop.parentloop.counter0 }}{{ forloop.counter0 }}">

                {% else %}
                {{ col }}
                {% endif %}
                {% endfor %}

            {% endfor %}

    <button  class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Submit</button>

but then what should I do next? Am I correct to use Form method to Post the data to Django? But how can i make sure all the data have been bundled up when passing through for checking, in terms of both the known numbers and unknown numbers(input by users)? any hints please?
This is the code of the views, but i only completed the numbers_fill_table one, i dont know what to write in second part of views and forms properly to post the exact data i want. Please help!
from .sudoku_generator import sudoku_generator

def board_fill(request):

    context = {'numbers': sudoku_generator.final_board()}
    template = 'sudoku_board.html'
    return render(request, template, context)

A: When you have the view (you must map it to the url that is used as the form target) it gets the request object. From there you can read the user input:
request.POST.get('44', 0) # Will return 0 if 44 is not found

More hint about writing a view: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/http/views/ and mapping the view to the url: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/http/urls/

Q: Multiples JFrame does not repaint properly I am creating a simple application for test purposes that displays a couple of JFrames separately, and each one contains an image.
The problem is that it displays the number JFrames expected based on the count of images on the list, however, only the last one presents the image. All the other ones are empty.
I've already made a debug, and check that the Buffered Image list is exactly as expected, all objects are there, and they are copies of each other as it is a test.
Is there anything wrong with the repaint call (already tried in a variety of places) or with the ImgPanel subclass? That's my only guess of what could be wrong.
public class Main() extends JFrame{

   BufferedImage I;

   public void show(ArrayList<BufferedImage> images){
       int i = 0;
       for(BufferedImage b : images){
           this.I = b;

           Container c = getContentPane();
           c.setLayout(null);
           c.add(new ImgPanel());

           JFrame frame = new JFrame();
           frame.validate();
           frame.repaint();

           frame.setTitle("Execution: "+i);
           frame.getContentPane().add(c);
           frame.setSize(800,600);
           frame.setVisible(true);
           i++;
       }
   }

   public class ImgPanel extends JPanel {
       public imgPanel() {
           setBounds(0, 0, 800,600);
       }

       @Override
       public void paint(Graphics g) {
           super.paint(g);
           g.drawImage(I, 0, 0, this);
       }
   }

   public static void main(String[] args){
       //"d" is an Object Already declared
       ArrayList<BufferedImage> images = d.getImages();
       Main m = new Main();
       m.show(images);
   }
}

A: I'm not sure where the problem was since your code did not compile.  This code works (rock solid) reliably.  In this GUI, I would tend to replace ImgPanel with a JLabel, YMMV.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import java.net.URL;

public class Main {

   public void show(ArrayList<BufferedImage> images){
       int i = 0;
       for(BufferedImage b : images){

           JFrame frame = new JFrame("Execution: "+i);
           frame.add(new ImgPanel(b));
           frame.pack();
           frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
           frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
           frame.setVisible(true);
           i++;
       }
   }

   public class ImgPanel extends JPanel {

       BufferedImage i;

       public ImgPanel(BufferedImage image) {
           i = image;
       }

       @Override
       public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
           return new Dimension(i.getWidth(), i.getHeight());
       }

       @Override
       public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
           super.paintComponent(g);
           g.drawImage(i, 0, 0, this);
       }
   }

   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
       final ArrayList<BufferedImage> images = new ArrayList<BufferedImage>();
       String[] urlStrings = {
           "http://i.stack.imgur.com/XZ4V5.jpg",
           "http://i.stack.imgur.com/7bI1Y.jpg",
           "http://i.stack.imgur.com/OVOg3.jpg",
           "http://i.stack.imgur.com/lxthA.jpg"
       };
       for (String s : urlStrings) {
           URL url = new URL(s);
           BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(url);
           images.add(bi);
       }
       Runnable r = new Runnable() {
           public void run() {
               Main m = new Main();
               m.show(images);
           }
       };
       SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);
   }
}

A: Based on your, incomplete, code example and the description of your problem, I would suggest that the problem has to do with your attempt to add a single instance of a component to multiple containers, for example...
Container c = getContentPane();
c.setLayout(null);
c.add(new ImgPanel());
//...
frame.getContentPane().add(c);

A component can only reside in a single container, when a component is added to a new container, it is first removed from it's current container (if it has a parent).
You can test this by setting the ImgPanel background color to something else, like setBackgroundColor(Color.RED), the only frame that will appear red should be the last one...

*

*You should avoid null layouts, in this specific case, you could does not take into account the borders frames, meaning the content area will expand beyond the viewable area of the frame.  Frame borders are also different sizes on different look and feels/platforms

*It's generally encouraged to use paintComponent over paint as it reduces the risks of weirdness and potentially breaking the paint chain

*I'll overlook the fact that it would be simpler to use a JLabel to accomplish this

A: When using a JPanel, use paintComponent(Graphics)
@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    super.paintComponent(g);
}

Legendary Singer James Brown Dies at 73
By GREG BLUESTEIN, Associated Press
James Brown, the dynamic, pompadoured "Godfather of Soul," whose rasping vocals and revolutionary rhythms made him a founder of rap, funk and disco as well, died early Monday, his agent said. He was 73.
Brown was hospitalized with pneumonia at Emory Crawford Long Hospital on Sunday and died around 1:45 a.m. Monday, said his agent, Frank Copsidas of Intrigue Music. Longtime friend Charles Bobbit was by his side, he said.
Copsidas said the cause of death was uncertain. "We really don't know at this point what he died of," he said.
Along with Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and a handful of others, Brown was one of the major musical influences of the past 50 years. At least one generation idolized him, and sometimes openly copied him. His rapid-footed dancing inspired Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson among others. Songs such as David Bowie's "Fame," Prince's "Kiss," George Clinton's "Atomic Dog" and Sly and the Family Stone's "Sing a Simple Song" were clearly based on Brown's rhythms and vocal style.
If Brown's claim to the invention of soul can be challenged by fans of Ray Charles and Sam Cooke, then his rights to the genres of rap, disco and funk are beyond question. He was to rhythm and dance music what Dylan was to lyrics: the unchallenged popular innovator.
"James presented obviously the best grooves," rapper Chuck D of Public Enemy once told The Associated Press. "To this day, there has been no one near as funky. No one's coming even close."
His hit singles include such classics as "Out of Sight," "(Get Up I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine," "I Got You (I Feel Good)" and "Say It Loud _ I'm Black and I'm Proud," a landmark 1968 statement of racial pride.
"I clearly remember we were calling ourselves colored, and after the song, we were calling ourselves black," Brown said in a 2003 Associated Press interview. "The song showed even people to that day that lyrics and music and a song can change society."
He won a Grammy award for lifetime achievement in 1992, as well as Grammys in 1965 for "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" (best R&B recording) and for "Living In America" in 1987 (best R&B vocal performance, male.) He was one of the initial artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, along with Presley, Chuck Berry and other founding fathers.
He triumphed despite an often unhappy personal life. Brown, who lived in Beech Island near the Georgia line, spent more than two years in a South Carolina prison for aggravated assault and failing to stop for a police officer. After his release on in 1991, Brown said he wanted to "try to straighten out" rock music.
From the 1950s, when Brown had his first R&B hit, "Please, Please, Please" in 1956, through the mid-1970s, Brown went on a frenzy of cross-country tours, concerts and new songs. He earned the nickname "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business," and often tried to prove it to his fans, said Jay Ross, his lawyer of 15 years.
Brown would routinely lose two or three pounds each time he performed and kept his furious concert schedule in his later years even as he fought prostate cancer, Ross said.
"He'd always give it his all to give his fans the type of show they expected," he said.
With his tight pants, shimmering feet, eye makeup and outrageous hair, Brown set the stage for younger stars such as Michael Jackson and Prince.
In 1986, he was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And rap stars of recent years overwhelmingly have borrowed his lyrics with a digital technique called sampling.
Brown's work has been replayed by the Fat Boys, Ice-T, Public Enemy and a host of other rappers. "The music out there is only as good as my last record," Brown joked in a 1989 interview with Rolling Stone magazine.
"Disco is James Brown, hip-hop is James Brown, rap is James Brown; you know what I'm saying? You hear all the rappers, 90 percent of their music is me," he told the AP in 2003.
Born in poverty in Barnwell, S.C., in 1933, he was abandoned as a 4-year-old to the care of relatives and friends and grew up on the streets of Augusta, Ga., in an "ill-repute area," as he once called it. There he learned to wheel and deal.
"I wanted to be somebody," Brown said.
By the eighth grade in 1949, Brown had served 3 1/2 years in Alto Reform School near Toccoa, Ga., for breaking into cars.
While there, he met Bobby Byrd, whose family took Brown into their home. Byrd also took Brown into his group, the Gospel Starlighters. Soon they changed their name to the Famous Flames and their style to hard R&B.
In January 1956, King Records of Cincinnati signed the group, and four months later "Please, Please, Please" was in the R&B Top Ten.
Pete Allman, a radio personality in Las Vegas who had been friends with Brown for 15 years, credited Brown with jump-starting his career and motivating him personally and professionally.
"He was a very positive person. There was no question he was the hardest working man in show business," Allman said. "I remember Mr. Brown as someone who always motivated me, got me reading the Bible."
While most of Brown's life was glitz and glitter, he was plagued with charges of abusing drugs and alcohol and of hitting his third wife, Adrienne.
In September 1988, Brown, high on PCP and carrying a shotgun, entered an insurance seminar next to his Augusta office. Police said he asked seminar participants if they were using his private restroom.
Police chased Brown for a half-hour from Augusta into South Carolina and back to Georgia. The chase ended when police shot out the tires of his truck.
Brown received a six-year prison sentence. He spent 15 months in a South Carolina prison and 10 months in a work release program before being paroled in February 1991. In 2003, the South Carolina parole board granted him a pardon for his crimes in that state.
Soon after his release, Brown was on stage again with an audience that included millions of cable television viewers nationwide who watched the three-hour, pay-per-view concert at Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles.
Adrienne Brown died in 1996 in Los Angeles at age 47. She took PCP and several prescription drugs while she had a bad heart and was weak from cosmetic surgery two days earlier, the coroner said.
More recently, he married his fourth wife, Tomi Raye Hynie, one of his backup singers. The couple had a son, James Jr.
Two years later, Brown spent a week in a private Columbia hospital, recovering from what his agent said was dependency on painkillers. Brown's attorney, Albert "Buddy" Dallas, said singer was exhausted from six years of road shows.

Q: How to resolve error " A setup package missing or damaged " while installing Visual studio 2015 on Windows 8.1 please help me to resolve this problem How to resolve error " A setup package missing or damaged " while installing Visual studio 2015 on Windows 8.1

Q: bash --debugger does not work on with bash 4.3 on a script with no arguments after installing bashdb I installed bashdb on fedora 21 which uses bash 4.3 . I need to run using --debugger because I want $0 to be set correctly to the name of the script rather than bashdb.
bash --debugger my.bash

But the script is just executed, there is no debug session. On the other hand running:
bash --debugger my.bash ""

works fine.
What am I doing wrong?

A: This is a bug that I think was introduced in bash 4.3:  Wed Feb 26 09:36:43 2014 -0500 Bash-4.3 distribution sources and documentation
The code added that causes this is:
if (debugging_mode && locally_skip_execution == 0 && running_setuid == 0 && dollar_vars[1])
    start_debugger ();

I have posted a bug report on this. See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2015-04/msg00183.html
The short story in the above thread is that although bash versions 4.3 up to 4.3.33 have this bug, in the next release after 4.3.33 (sometime after April 2015), this bug will be fixed.

A: When you use bash --debugger, the debugger has to be installed in the location that bash expects. Although the configure script tries to figure this out, many times it gets this wrong. To see where bash thinks the debugger should be installed, run:
strings /bin/bash | grep bashdb

On Ubuntu, the answer I got was: /usr/share/bashdb/bashdb-main.inc. So bashdb is expected to be installed in /usr/share/bashdb. Using this, then run configure like this:
/bin/bash ./configure -with-bashdb-main.inc=/usr/share/bashdb/bashdb-main.inc

Sentara RMH Medical Center is excited to announce that in early April it will begin using copper-infused linens and patient gowns in all inpatient rooms to reduce the incidence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Patients will notice that the copper-infused linens have a distinctive tan or salmon color. The hospital will also be retrofitting all inpatient rooms with copper-infused bedside tables and bed handrails later in the year.
About Sentara
Copper linens help improve patient safety
By: Neil Mowbray
About Sentara, Innovation, Quality and Patient Safety, Research and Clinical Trials
The switch to copper-infused products is based on a 10-month clinical trial conducted at Sentara Leigh Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia. It was the world's largest clinical trial testing the use of copper against healthcare-associated infections. The trial determined that hard surfaces and linens infused with copper oxide compounds contributed to an 83% reduction in Clostridium difficile (C. diff) and a 78% overall reduction in multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), including C. diff, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), in a real-world clinical environment. These results occurred in a hospital with a robust protocol for managing infection risk certified by the healthcare accrediting body DNV-GL Healthcare.
The results of the trial were published in the peer-reviewed American Journal of Infection Control on Sept. 28, 2016 and presented at the annual conference of the Infectious Disease Society of America on October 26, 2016. Sentara, an integrated, not-for-profit healthcare system, is making the change to copper-infused products in all 12 of its hospitals in Virginia and North Carolina.
"These findings are significant not only for Sentara Healthcare and Sentara RMH Medical Center, but for all healthcare facilities," said Michael Botticelli, MD, chief of staff the Sentara RMH Medical Center. "Sentara RMH already has a low incidence of healthcare-associated infections because of our culture of patient safety and the processes we have in place to support that culture, but the use of copper-infused linens and hard surfaces will help us lower that incidence even further."
"This is one of the most significant developments in infection prevention and control inside of hospitals that we've seen in quite a while," said Becky Brubaker, RN, MSN, CIC, infection preventionist, Sentara RMH Medical Center. "It's important to realize that copper linens and surfaces are not a substitute for the other stringent infection control practices that we have in place; this is just one more tool, and a powerful one, that we can use in our ongoing efforts to prevent healthcare-associated infections."
Test sites included new and old hospital towers
The first copper clinical trial was conducted in the midst of a challenging on-site replacement for Sentara Leigh Hospital, a 1970s-era facility in Norfolk, Virginia. As part of the new construction, copper-infused hard products were built into the first of two replacement bed towers and copper-infused linens were deployed. The remaining 1977 wing did not receive copper products. The trial took into account that the new tower housed mainly surgery patients, while the old tower housed mainly medicine patients with chronic conditions. Co-morbidities, demographics and other factors were taken into account in assessing the data.
Sentara Leigh Hospital opened its second new patient tower, the West Tower, to patients in April 2015. To further assess the effectiveness of copper-infused products, a second paper is being drafted on a second clinical trial comparing the use of copper products in all 250 licensed beds in both new patient towers at Sentara Leigh Hospital against two other Sentara hospitals. One of those two other sites is Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital, built in 1965 and incrementally modernized and expanded. The other is Sentara Princess Anne Hospital, also in Virginia Beach, which opened in 2011. Results of the second clinical trial are expected to be published in 2017.
"This is not only practical, but revolutionary," said Terry Gilliland, MD, chief medical officer for Sentara Healthcare. "This change is about the culture and commitment of Sentara Healthcare to safety, so that we don't harm our patients. My sense is that everything we touch will have some kind of copper associated with it, from doorknobs to computer covers and devices used in patient care. It will take time, but I believe it's inevitable."

Knock-on this: U of S Rugby Club scrums for status
By Ashlynn Weisberg	 October 15, 2018 in Sports & Health
Players on the women's team compete over the ball during practice. | Ashlynn Weisberg
Throughout the long history of Huskie Athletics, different sports have come and gone from the rosters, but the university currently does not host Huskies rugby. Straddling the line between non-Canada West student athletes and ratified Huskies, the University of Saskatchewan Rugby Club navigates a complex terrain.
The fast-paced, high-intensity sport found its way to the U of S in 2012, in the form of the U of S Rugby Club. Though, initially, the club consisted of only a men's team, a women's team was added in 2016.
Currently, U of S Rugby boasts over 50 registered members and accepts new athletes at any time, regardless of experience and skill. All U of S students are welcome, and the club also has a handful of Saskatchewan Polytechnic students as well as a few high school students as prospects.
Unfortunately, without varsity funding, the club functions on a pay-to-play basis — meaning that the athletes pay club dues, travel and accommodation for tournaments, tournament entry fees and facility fees for practice spaces. Uniforms are paid for by local sponsors, but the majority of fees are raised via regular fundraising efforts.
Mikayla Waller, in her first year of graduate studies in veterinary biomedical sciences, has been with the U of S Rugby Club for four years, serving as captain for three. Waller discusses the financial burden and the barriers that money can pose to athletes.
"Sometimes [fundraising] is a really big burden on the students, and sometimes the money is the reason why someone can't play, and that just makes me really sad because rugby [doesn't] need any equipment, so we want everyone to be able to play," Waller said.

In contrast, a lack of Huskie status provides U of S Rugby with an incredible amount of freedom and flexibility. With club status, all that are interested are welcome — which is a highly unique attribute for teams at the university level.
With regards to this distinct feature, Waller notes that, "as adults we don't really get to try new things," and because the club functions outside of contractual obligation, it is not only possible but encouraged to bring on beginners.
For Eryn Minifie, a newcomer to the club in her first year of animal bioscience, the communal aspect of the club serves as a grounding element in her transition from northern British Columbia to Saskatchewan.
"The rugby club here is so incredible — they are so inclusive… Everyone gets to play, and they make it fun for everyone," Minifie said. "I was not hesitant at all to start. I actually wanted to play but didn't know there was a team here… I showed up to a practice and am so thankful that I did."
If the U of S Rugby Club was to become ratified with the Huskies, it would unfortunately lose a large portion of its inclusive core values due to an institutionalized increase in what is considered to be the baseline skill level required. Third-year mechanical engineering student Tom Stubbs, in his third year as captain, explained that this divide could be managed.
"I would like to think that, if we became Huskies, we would get more funding, and in that respect, we would become better at our sport and more competitive but also be able to maintain a separate club or an affiliated club … that does bring the newcomers on because I think it's very important," Stubbs said.

Discussions with both the U of S Students' Union and Huskie Athletics are ongoing, and Stubbs believes that the trajectory of the club is heading for Huskie ratification within a five-year period.
Isaac Driscoll, a third-year education student in his third year of playing for the club, hopes that, in gaining Huskie status, rugby will receive institutional legitimacy and validation as a sport.
"We are put in a unique spot. We want to represent the university, and ultimately do, but we are often neglected and viewed as non-existent," Driscoll said.
With Huskie ratification years in the making, Driscoll offers his advice to the present student population.
"We like to have a good time together on the pitch and off the pitch, so even if you're just looking for a community to be a part of, come out and play," Driscoll said. "It's well worth it."
Whether you've played before or you'd never even heard of rugby until now, the U of S Rugby Club has a place for anyone and everyone. With the freedom of club status for now, there is no shortage of opportunities to get involved.

Efflatoun, Inji (1924–1989) By Radwan, Nadia
DOI: 10.4324/9781135000356-REM423-1
https://www.rem.routledge.com/articles/efflatoun-inji-1924-1989
Inji Efflatoun was an Egyptian painter, feminist, and political activist. She completed her secondary education at the Lycée Français in Cairo where she was introduced to Marxism. At the beginning of the 1940s, she was one of the first women to attend the Faculty of Arts at Cairo University, where she joined the Egyptian communist organization (Iskra). During that time, she studied under the painter and filmmaker Kamel el-Tilmisani, and exhibited with the Egyptian Surrealist Group "Art and Liberty" (1942–1943). She later studied in the studio of the Swiss artist Margo Veillon, and with the painter Hamed Abdalla. In 1959, her political activities resulted in her being arrested. She was imprisoned for four and a half years and painted throughout her incarceration until she was released in 1963. Efflatoun's paintings are strongly inspired by the social reality of the Egyptian working class, with a special focus on women and their daily struggle.

Kevin and Suzanne share their knowledge and experience of Law of Attraction in an understandable format. Giving lots of tools and resources for success.
This ia a great workshop to refocus your energy on what matters most in this life… your happiness and your ability to enjoy every day!
Great dynamic in a small group. We all had moments where Kevin and Suzanne coached us to a better understanding that will help us use the LoA to change our lives.
Provided great intro into the Law of Attraction and foundation for manifestation. Informal setting was beneficial for sharing.
This workshop pulled together a lot of what I've already learned and gave it more focus. I'll now practice releasing from what I don't want by pivoting thoughts to what I desire.
I just want to thank you again for your support for my yoga training and the wonderful workshop I got to be a part of that totally jump started this new and amazing life I am living! I am on an AWESOME path and so excited every day to be healthy, happy and making my dreams a reality!
Loved the material, energy and "feel good" atmosphere of this very valuable workshop!
Kevin and Suzanne can explain very well what is or can be a difficult subject. They've helped me use the LoA to make very positive improvements in my life.
I finally understand that it is up to me to make myself happy and that's all there is to it!
Intro to Law of Attraction class by the Youngs gives you the specific tools and thought process to propel you to the next level you desire whether that be personal or professional.
These workshops can be life-changing experiences for anyone seeking a better life!
Suzanne and Kevin are masters at teaching you the skills/tools needed for success. Very insightful mentors!
I learned even more about LoA and its applications. Really positive, uplifting class. Suzanne and Kevin are so wonderful. Very motivating, inspirational! Loved it!
I feel so at peace with everything in my life [after the workshop]. I Know I will attract Everything and that I am deserving to have it ALL. And that I do not have to do anything to help the Universe.
I thank you so much for attracting me to your classes and can not wait to join you for more learning together! I can't quite explain the feeling I left your class with and even this morning the Peace I feel. I was awakened to a part of the Law of Attraction that seemed to be missing and now with out even a thought, I KNOW I …GOT IT…!
Excellent workshop! Kevin and Suzanne make me feel very welcomed! Learned a lot about relationships, LoA practices. I plan to incorporate this in my daily lifestyle.


At this point in the offseason, it is time to examine the state of affairs for the Cincinnati Bengals (http://bleacherreport.com/cincinnati-bengals). The team is fresh off three playoff seasons, which has resulted in exactly zero playoff wins.
This season, a playoff appearance is not going to be enough for fans in the Queen City. A lot of them are already calling for the head of Andy Dalton (http://bleacherreport.com/andy-dalton), forgetting about BenJarvus Green-Ellis and wondering if Vontaze Burfict is a Defensive Player of the Year talent.
Examining these situations, as well as others, is important for this coaching squad going forward. The team is moving forward without Jay Gruden and Mike Zimmer, meaning the play could be very different—but that won't slide should the Bengals struggle this season.
We're only a month-and-a-half from the start of the preseason, so at this point, what do the Bengals need to be looking at?
Jermaine Gresham has been the Bengals' starting tight end since he was drafted in 2010. During his time in Cincinnati, he's been quite a big role-player, having scored 19 touchdowns in four seasons.
Unfortunately for Gresham, his worst year to date came in 2013 when he set a career low in yards at 458 and tied a career low at four touchdowns, which was set his rookie season.
Per Geoff Hobson of Benglas.com (h/t Jason Marcum on Cincy Jungle) the Bengals coaching staff was "far from pleased with Gresham (http://www.cincyjungle.com/2014/6/18/5819618/bengals-werent-pleased-with-jermaine-gresham-in-2013-more-tyler#comments)" during the 2013 season. He received over 200 more snaps than Tyler Eifert, who was drafted to utilize the two tight end set seen in New England (http://bleacherreport.com/new-england-patriots) with Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski (http://bleacherreport.com/rob-gronkowski).
With Gresham in a contract year, is he on the way out? Or are we going to see Gresham break through and become a top-tier tight end who can be grouped with guys like Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham (http://bleacherreport.com/jimmy-graham)? At 6'5" and 260 lbs., Gresham has the size to beat opposing defenders.
Eifert isn't gunning for Gresham's job and it doesn't seem likely the coaches wish to give him away. However, Gresham missed OTAs due to hernia surgery and the Bengals' staff already had their issues with him. What does the future hold for the Bengals' starting tight end?
According to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com, the Bengals believe "Bodine is their guy at center (http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Hobsons-Choice/089483fc-2611-4386-9634-b4f219f95874)." It may seem pretty quick to insert a Day 3 draft selection into the starting lineup, but Bodine carries the attributes that his adversary Trevor Robinson doesn't really have.
Bodine was a guy the Bengals traded up for, so they have to be of the same belief. Bodine is big and strong for his size, capable of keeping opposing defenders back.
It seems the former Tar Heel is going to join a relatively inexperienced offensive line, possibly consisting of Tanner Hawkinson, Bodine and Kevin Zeitler across the middle.
However, don't discount Robinson or Mike Pollack just yet, as there's a lot of offseason yet.
From 2010 to 2012, Vincent Rey's career highs read as follows: 22 tackles, one sack, zero interceptions, forced fumbles and fumble recoveries.
Rey appeared in 16 games in 2014 and racked up an outstanding 57 tackles, four sacks, two interceptions (one pick-6), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Not too shabby for a man who filled in as a reserve and started for the injured Rey Maualuga.
As this season approaches, Rey should be given the opportunity to start. It likely won't come on the strong side, as he hasn't started a game there in his career. That will likely come down to Jayson DiManche, Brandon Joiner and Marquis Flowers. No, Rey is going to have to challenge Maualuga for playing time.
It isn't too far-fetched, as Rey did get some first team action during OTAs. In all likelihood, the scenario for Rey will be that he platoons across the middle of the defense and even makes some appearances on the line. After his showing last season, there's no way he'll be ignored by Paul Guenther, who used to work exclusively with the linebackers.
Veteran running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis very well have made his last appearance in Cincinnati with the drafting of Jeremy Hill and follow-up signing of James Wilder, Jr.
Green-Ellis has never been the type to put up huge numbers—his career high in rushing came in 2012 when he ran for 1,094 yards, which won't come close to any records. He's always been a power back, never having the speed to match some of the league's more successful running backs.
At OTAs, Green-Ellis was given the lowly task of working with the third team (http://stripehype.com/2014/05/27/benjarvus-green-ellis-odd-man-otas/) according to NFL (http://bleacherreport.com/nfl).com's Michael Fabiano (https://twitter.com/Michael_Fabiano/statuses/471370112281223168) (h/t Fansided's Matthew Wilson). That may have been sufficient for Wilder, but not for a veteran entering his seventh year in the NFL.
With Jeremy Hill impressing enough during OTAs to leapfrog Green-Ellis on the depth chart, it's hard to imagine the Bengals keeping the former Patriot on the books when it seems he will, at best, be the No. 3 back. Green-Ellis stands to bring in a base salary of $2.3 million this season.
Barring injury, it seems to be a waste to keep the Law Firm in Cincinnati. While he had a good showing, when it comes to his level of talent, there doesn't appear to be a place for him on the roster.
While football is absolutely a team sport, it is no secret that the fans of the Bengals place a lot of blame for three consecutive playoff losses on Andy Dalton. Fair or not, that's the state of the game—the quarterback is going to receive a lot of heat every time out.
Now that Dalton is in a contract year, it will be interesting to see how the Bengals' front office approaches the situation. Dalton told ESPN.com (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11063272/andy-dalton-cincinnati-bengals-mind-colin-kaepernick-deal) he'd be fine with a deal similar to the one Colin Kaepernick (http://bleacherreport.com/colin-kaepernick) signed with the San Francisco 49ers (http://bleacherreport.com/san-francisco-49ers).
Whether I agree with that or not is beside the point, but both sides are talking. If Dalton does not go into the season with an extension, I find it hard to believe he'll get one midseason. It would be a huge risk on both sides, as we saw how Joe Flacco made that situation pay off for him.
In three seasons that have netted Dalton 30 wins, he's thrown 80 touchdowns and 49 interceptions. One has to wonder what the presence of star receiver A.J. Green (http://bleacherreport.com/aj-green) has to do with that.
Time will tell what the contract situation of Dalton will be. With A.J. McCarron now in Cincinnati, the question will begin to fly—who will be under center in 2015?


With the inclement weather thankfully holding out for last Saturday night's fifth Indy Race Parts Super Series round for Wingless Sprints at Hamilton's Western Speedway, a consistent performance for Carly Walsh saw her drive to her maiden round win during what was an action-packed feature race.
While it was Walsh who outlasted her rivals to claim the chequered flag, it was Travis Millar who gave himself the best possible chance of victory by earning the pole position start for the 20-lap feature race, alongside South Australian visitor Mitchell Broome.
Getting the better of his fellow front-row starter, Millar quickly launched himself into the lead at the drop of the green flag, forcing Broome to sit behind him in second. However, with several cars hitting the wall and going on to make contact with other competitors on the opening lap, a full restart was required, and this time it was Broome who made the most of it.
Following Broome through as he raced into the lead was outside second row starter Daniel Storer, who drove around the outside of Millar to claim the runner-up spot. It was a hairy moment for Millar, who rode the left-rear tyre of Storer, but did well to regain his composure and continue the race.
Becoming embroiled in a great battle through lapped traffic, Broome and Storer raced in close quarters until around halfway through the distance, before Storer ran wide, opening the door for Walsh and Millar to move into the minor podium positions, relegating him to fourth place.
Walsh then tagged onto the back of Broome, with contact between the pair resulting in Broome slipping down towards the bottom of the track and hitting the infield tyre before re-joining the track.
This lap would be the last for Storer, who rode the wheel of a lapped car that was attempting to avoid the displaced infield tyre, launching him into a massive rollover which ultimately destroyed his car. Thankfully, Storer emerged unharmed.
With Broome having retired to the infield, it was Walsh who had taken over first place on the subsequent restart, and despite constant pressure from Millar, she could not be stopped throughout the remaining laps, clinching the feature-race spoils.
Coming home in the runner-up spot was Millar, followed by Sean Kuypers, who rounded out the podium in third place. Remaining feature-race finishers included Geoff Cook, Robert Whiteside, Graham Payne, Glen Harris, who received the Indy Race Parts Hard Charger award after starting from position 15 and making up eight spots, and Kirby Hillyer (SA).
It was a crowded infield that began with Steven Hateley limping to an early stop after being in the wrong place at the wrong time on the opening lap when he was collected by another competitor. He was later joined by Shaun Clapp, Ashley Cook, Broome, Shaun Lyness, Storer, Elira DeGrandi and Jeremy Beddison.
Earlier in the night, the four heat-race wins were shared between Millar, Beddison, Lyness and Broome.
The next event for Victorian Wingless Sprints will be this Saturday night's Peter Merrett Memorial at Simpson Speedway, while the sixth Indy Race Parts Super Series round will take place on May 11 at Horsham's Blue Ribbon Raceway.
The Victorian Wingless Sprints would like to thank the naming-right's sponsor of their 2018-19 season Super Series: Indy Race Parts.
Operating out of their warehouse in Geelong, Victoria, Indy Race Parts Australia is the Australian arm of American speedway parts and accessories supplier Indy Race Parts, which is based in Indianapolis. Stocking a wide range of products, including complete race car chassis, tyres, methanol and more, predominantly across Sprintcars, Wingless Sprints and Speedcars, Indy Race Parts Australia is considered one of the country's leading speedway suppliers.

There are hikes, and there are hikes. I'm not sure what the difference is between hiking and hiking, but I do know one of those words is in italics. But, if you're looking for an amazing, under-the-radar hiking experience, look no further… I present: The Camels Hump. This hike is considered one of the Green Mountains' best-kept hiking secrets. It's Vermont's third-highest mountain, and on a clear day you can see forever. Not literally, but pretty far.
So, what's the big deal? Well, the mountain itself has been the subject of local lore since time immemorial (or at least since European explorers first recorded it in the 1600s as "the resting lion"). It was first designated as "Camel's Rump" in 1798 when cartographer Ira Allan bestowed that loving moniker, which changed to the more eloquent "Camel's Hump" in 1830. Camels Hump State Park was gifted to Vermont by Colonel Joseph Battell in 1911.
Against all odds the park has been preserved and kept out of the greedy hands of developers, communications towers, and ski resorts (though they really missed an opportunity to hold a ski competition where a local kid goes up against a snobby German skier with a beautiful mane of golden hair to "save the mountain" like in those awesome '80s movies, see fig. 1).
The Camel's Hump Trail is a moderate 6 miles, and you can also hit up the Burrows Trail, for another 2.4 miles to the top. There is primitive camping allowed off the trails, and in the lower elevations. However, the Green Mountain Club does offer year-round camping and lodges.

Aside from drinking delicious coffee and eating out-of-this-world food, the easiest way to support Julia's mission is to host a book drive.
It couldn't be any easier: we provide all the materials, and all the host needs to do is provide a space and spread the word.
This drive is best for small organizations and is easily replicated across multiple sites. For instance, a company with five different offices in Charlotte could do a company-wide drive by having a small tote bin at each of their offices.
This is the type of drive that we do the most! Most mid-to-large size offices, churches and other organizations choose this type of drive due to its mobility and size. We'll drop off a large bin (think of your home's wheeled recycling bin) that can stay in your space until it's full, then we'll come pick it up!
Please note: our team requests a one-week notice for business/church book drives.
An ambitious project, but we have the system, equipment and experience to make it a success! We deliver a tote bag and letter from the resident/host to every home in the neighborhood one weekend, and then pick up the full tote bags next weekend. The letter helps explain what Julia's does and just how much of an impact someone's old books can make!
Please note: our team requests a 60-day advance notice of Neighborhood Book Drives.
ready for your book drive?
We are more than willing and able to modify our current Book Drive options to make it work for you!
We're happy to talk to you more about Book Drives! Please email Margaret at mupchurch@juliascafe.org for more information.
Julia's Café & Books will be closed Friday, April 19 & Saturday, April 20. Normal hours resume Monday, April 22.


StockMarketWire.com - Frontier Developments said it expects full-year revenue towards the upper end of the current market expectations as digital sales of Jurassic World Evolution had been strong.
Frontier said, citing projections, that it could achieve total revenue for the year ending 31 May 2019 towards the upper end of the current market analyst range of £58m to £88m.
The comes as initial digital sales of Jurassic World Evolution, Frontier's third game franchise, had been strong across all three platforms, (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One), following the digital launch of the game on 12 June, the company said.


As some of you guys have heard over the weekend, popular password manager LastPass was recently acquired by remote-access service LogMeIn. While the resources from LogMeIn will no doubt help to further develop the password manager, there are probably some LastPass users who might not be too pleased by the news.
That being said it seems that to capitalize on LastPass' sale and/or the unhappy LastPass customers, AgileBits has announced that they will be giving its 1Password password manager a 40% price cut across all versions of the software. This includes Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android.
What does this mean? According to the listing on the AgileBits Store, 1Password for the Mac/Windows is priced at $29.99 which is down from its original price of $49.99. Alternatively customers can opt to pay for the Mac + Windows bundle where it is priced at $41.99 for both platforms together.
For those interested in getting the Pro Features on iOS or Android, the discount will now see the features unlocked fro $5.99, but otherwise the app is still free if you'd rather not have the pro features. If you'd like to download the app, hit up the iTunes App Store or Google Play for the details.

One night she'd had enough and attacked one of her tormentors. I lost my patience because of all the insults. I got a knife and stabbed the Waria.
