Dammit, Why did I have to find your topic, instead of just starting my own?
Fisherman - This one is easy, once the player has traded string with the villager, it is able to locate suitable bodies of water within say, 30 blocks and will spend the daytime gathering fish to add to the villages store of food.
Fletcher (Okay, this one is a stretch, and maybe should just come under Archer instead) - If these guys can make Bows and Arrows, why not have a shot at firing them? Villagers already come with basic watchtowers (the ones with fences on top), so why not have them as guard posts so the villagers can support the Golems at night?
Cleric - Could be able to Heal/Regen other villagers and Golems, and possible provide buffs to nearby Golems at night.
Hmm, I'll leave it there for now, let me know if you agree with my line of thinking on this.
see now, this is plain ridiculous, iron farms are not a supported mechanic, they are abusing mechanics to work, it's pretty clear that the whole idea with iron golems spawning was that villagers are meant to be building them, yet the golems are spawned a distance from them while in tiny containers.
no, the hunger mechanic would be perfect as actual hunger, iron farms are no excuse, they are an unbalanced abuse of game mechanics.
as for the idea, no support, most of the idea is pointless or greifing the players non-renewable resources.
With the new patches, iron farms are perfectly balanced. I do very large redstone contraptions and I need a constant flow of iron and mining isn't enough. My current iron farm can make around a stack every hour. That is far less than what you could obtain from mining. Large iron farms no longer work. I understand that some people don't like the aspect of the game involving automation, but these farms don't build themselves. It took me a ton of iron to build rails to transport villagers, obtain hoppers, build trapped chests etc. Your view is very unfair criticism. As far as our idea, I'm glad to see what people are disagreeing with, and we can work with that.
Wow, I love your ideas. They're just so fantastic, balanced and they just make sense. Simple and to the point.
You would load village chunks like any other chunk, lol.
Support. I have suspicions that Mojang may be working toward this anyway.
I second the fletchers supporting the Golems with bows. It differs from village warriors, in that Iron Golems can't attack from a distance.
It would be cool if the miners gathered coal and iron, then gave them to the blacksmith to make into ingots. He could then make iron blocks, and stack them into the "T" shape of the Iron Golem's body. I'm not saying to change the Iron Golem's current spawning mechanics, just to create the illusion that the villagers are actually making the Golems that spawn.
Maybe some of the villagers could gather wood too, and use the miner's coal to make torches. That way they could light up their area, to help protect themselves a bit more without making them warriors.
most of your ideas are already in this (two great minds think alike :)) and i guess if enough people support the fletchers i could add them and i agree about mojang. The reason i thought of this seriously was when they implemented the new villager ai in the new snapshot. I think theres 3 or 4 supporters now.

Had another idea. How about the Librarian acting as a teacher to the children? The children would gather in the library during the morning. They could then go outside around noon to chase each other around, with the Librarian watching over them. In the early evening, they would return to their homes.
YEEEAAAHHH baby villagers going to school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Intelligent Villagers might be a good title. The Banner should show a couple villagers preforming actions appropriate to their professions. Maybe one swinging a pick, another placing a block on a half finished house.
The blacksmith should repair the Iron Golems, and doing so should consume iron ingots from his inventory. The Golems should make their way to the blacksmith's building in the morning, but only if necessary.
Adding to the shepherd idea, they could raise cows, pigs, donkeys, horses, and chickens as well.
A banker villager, with an iron bar vault to hold deposits. Maybe a villager occasionally tries to rob the bank, and is either killed, driven out of town, or put in jail. It should lower the village's respect for you if you raid this chest, and raise it if you put valuables in.
All these ideas sound good. Villages should become much larger, I think. At least two-three times bigger.
what do you guys think should be in the banner and do you think we should change the name of the thread to something like better villagers, independent villagers or if we should change it at all?
I like Better Villagers if you were to change it but in my opinion I think it's fine as it is.
Yeah, and much more random generation giving certain benefits.
I love the teacher idea. Makes a ton of sense. Gives the baby villagers and librarians further uses and... it's just great.
Your idea for the banner makes sense. Also, I love your bank idea. Villages could become interactive and a ton of fun to manage.
changed the name and added a TON of info to the OP. Don't wory there's more to add to the op that i haven't added yet cus it's gonna take a while.
Clean it up a little, both the thread and the idea.
That's all I have to say, it needs some work, but other than that its good.

Omar, Tlaib on Israeli Travel Ban: 'We Can't Let Trump and Netanyahu Hide Occupation'
'Denying visits from dully elected members of Congress is not consistent with being an ally,' Omar says alongside Tlaib in press conference slamming decision to bar their visit

WASHINGTON - Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, the two members of Congress who were refused entry into Israel last week, held a joint press conference on Monday, during which they denounced the Israeli government for its decision, and gave the stage to Palestinian-American activists who have also been denied entry into Israel.
Omar said during the press conference that the trip she and Tlaib were planning was supposed to include meetings with "members of the Israeli Knesset" and Israeli activists who work against the occupation. She said that "we cannot allow Trump and Netanyahu to succeed in hiding the cruel reality of the occupation from us."

Omar encouraged people to go to the West Bank and see that "the occupation is real," and that "barring members of Congress from seeing it will not make it go away." She also mentioned the fact that the United States provides billions of dollars in military aid to Israel, and said that "denying visits from dully elected members of Congress is not consistent with being an ally."

Omar said that the United States can use the aid money as leverage to ensure that "the Netanyahu government does not expand settlements on Palestinian land" and "gives full rights to Palestinians."
Speaking after her, Congresswoman Tlaib said that "all Americans should be distrubed" by the decision not to let them enter.
The Michigan lawmaker teared up as she recalled visiting family in the West Bank and seeing her mother have to "go through dehumanizing checkpoints – even though she was a United States citizen and a proud American."
Tlaib got emotional as she told how her "Sitty" — an Arabic term of endearment for one's grandmother that's spelled different ways in English — urged her during a tearful late-night family phone call not to come under what they considered such humiliating circumstances.

"She said I'm her dream manifested. I'm her free bird," Tlaib recalled. "So why would I come back and be caged and bow down when my election rose her head up high, gave her dignity for the first time?"
At the urging of President Donald Trump, Israel denied entry to the two Muslim representatives over their support for the Palestinian-led boycott movement. Tlaib and Omar, who had planned to visit Jerusalem and the Israeli-occupied West Bank on a tour organized by a Palestinian group, are outspoken critics of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians and support the Palestinian-led international movement boycotting Israel.
The two freshman House members said they would discuss "potential policy responses" to Israel's decision during a news conference on Monday.
White House spokesman Hogan Gidley kept up the administration's criticism of the two lawmakers Monday.
"Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar have a well-documented history of anti-Semitic comments, anti-Semitic social media posts and anti-Semitic relationships," he said in a statement. "Israel has the right to prevent people who want to destroy it from entering the country — and Democrats' pointless Congressional inquiries here in America cannot change the laws Israel has passed to protect itself."
Before Israel's decision, Trump tweeted it would be a "show of weakness" to allow the two representatives in. Israel controls entry and exit to the West Bank, which it seized in the 1967 Mideast war along with east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, territories the Palestinians want for a future state.
Trump's request to a foreign country to bar the entry of elected U.S. officials — and Israel's decision to do so — were unprecedented and drew widespread criticism, including from many Israelis as well as staunch supporters of Israel in Congress. Critics said Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision was a reckless gamble that risked turning Israel into a partisan issue and threatened to undermine ties between the close allies.
Tlaib and Omar support "boycott, divestment and sanctions," or BDS, a Palestinian-led global movement. Supporters say the movement is a nonviolent way of protesting Israel's military rule over the occupied territories, but Israel says it aims to delegitimize the state and eventually wipe it off the map.
Last week, Israeli Interior Minister Aryeh Deri said Tlaib had requested and been granted permission to enter the West Bank to see her aging grandmother. Deri's office released a letter that it said was from Tlaib, which promised to respect travel restrictions during her visit. But after the announcement, Tlaib tweeted she wouldn't allow Israel to use her love for her grandmother to force her to "bow down to their oppressive & racist policies."
The two congresswomen are part of the "squad" of liberal newcomers — all women of color — whom Trump has labeled as the face of the Democratic Party as he runs for reelection. The Republican president subjected them to a series of racist tweets last month in which he called on them to "go back" to their "broken" countries. They are U.S. citizens — Tlaib was born in the U.S. and Omar became a citizen after moving to the United States as a refugee from war-torn Somalia.

Q: read next line after a matching line in python I am trying to go to next line after a match in python. I have a file:
ratio of lattice parameters  b/a  c/a
    1.000000000000    1.000000000000
lattice parameters  a b c  [a.u.]
    9.448629942895    9.448629942895    9.448629942895

So, when I have "lattice parameters" at the beginning of line, I will read the next line (e.g.  9.448629942895    9.448629942895    9.448629942895)
I am doing:
#!/usr/bin/python3
import sys

inpf = str(sys.argv[1])
print (inpf)
with open(inpf, "r") as ifile:
    for line in ifile:
        if line.startswith("lattice parameters"):
            print(line.strip())
            next(ifile)
            return next(ifile)

as is in the accepted answer here.
But, in my case, it is giving error:
python xband.py AlSi2S2.sys
  File "xband.py", line 11
    return next(ifile)
SyntaxError: 'return' outside function

What I am doing wrong here?
NB: I want to go to and read next line. I have no special fascination on "return"
I am using Python 3.4.2

A: Try:
with open(inpf, "r") as ifile:
    for line in ifile:
        if line.startswith("lattice parameters"):
            print(next(ifile, '').strip())

next(iterator[, default]) Retrieve the next item from the iterator by
  calling its next() method. If default is given, it is returned if
  the iterator is exhausted, otherwise StopIteration is raised.

A: You are using a return statement outside of a function. For the code to work you schould either get rid of the return next(ifile) line or make a function in your script and call it.

Q: Python Shlex splitting with brackets I have a need to split a series of strings into 3 component parts denoted by spaces.  These strings sometimes contain sublists, but always as the last component of the string.
I was previously using Shlex to achieve this with great success, but I'm not getting the desired results anymore as my most recent sub lists contain spaces of their own and that seems to throw Shlex off.
Is there an alternative to Shlex that might perform the task better?
Some examples are:
'BREAKFAST IN ["Rolled Oats","Cornflakes","French Toast"]'

and
COPIES_FOR_EXTERNAL > "0"

Which should become lists like:
['BREAKFAST','IN', '["Rolled Oats","Cornflakes","French Toast"]']

and
['COPIES_FOR_EXTERNAL','>','"0"']

A: Since you know the number of components and that the sublist is always a last element you can use str.split with maxsplit parameter:
s1 = 'BREAKFAST IN ["Rolled Oats","Cornflakes","French Toast"]'
s2 = 'COPIES_FOR_EXTERNAL > "0"'

print s1.split(None, 2) # ['BREAKFAST', 'IN', '["Rolled Oats","Cornflakes","French Toast"]']
print s2.split(None, 2) # ['COPIES_FOR_EXTERNAL', '>', '"0"']

You are asked to park on the North side of the indoor practice facility. So if you park at Beard-Eaves Coliseum, Auburn Arena, Stadium Parking Deck, etc. you'll be North of the indoor practice facility. Do not park at the hay fields or red barn on Donahue as there will be no access from that direction to the indoor practice facility.
Of course take something to be signed and have fun!


Toni Kroos added a fresh blow to a depleted Real Madrid ahead of Sunday's trip to on-form Real Sociedad on Sunday with the German the latest of a number of key players ruled out.
Kroos missed training on Saturday with a minor muscle problem and joins the suspended Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo and injured Karim Benzema, Mateo Kovacic and Jesus Vallejo on the sidelines.
"Toni has felt discomfort and we are not going to risk anything," Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane said on Saturday.
Real already trail rivals Barcelona by four points in the La Liga title race after just three games.
Sociedad meanwhile are level with Barca at the top of the table after their best start to a league season since 1981.
Ronaldo showed Madrid what they have been missing in draws against Valencia and Levante as he returned to score twice in a comfortable 3-0 win over APOEL Nicosia in the Champions League in midweek.
However, the World Player of the Year is absent once more as he completes his five-game domestic ban for pushing a referee in the Spanish Super Cup.
"We need to think that this is our last game with Cristiano out," added Zidane.
"We need him, he is an important player, but we have a squad good enough to do well even when he isn't there.

W. Va. Derby Runs Today at Mountaineer in Chester
'Sneaky-deep field' awaits at Mountaineer
TOM LaMARRA
For The Intelligencer
The 3-year-olds who have competed in Triple Crown races traditionally have drawn the most attention in the Grade III West Virginia Derby, but this year's $750,000 race has attracted a field with many possibilities.
Three colts come to Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort on Aug. 5 after quality efforts in the Grade III Iowa Derby July 7. As a reference point, Concord Point and Prayer for Relief won the Iowa Derby in 2010 and 2011, respectively, before winning the West Virginia Derby.
Whitham Thoroughbreds' McCormick and NK Racing's Impressive Edge dueled for the lead in the 1 1/16-mile race until the final yards, but held very well for second and third, respectively, behind Hence. Tom Durant's Silver Dust made a bold bid to get within a neck of the lead on the far turn in the Iowa Derby and kept on to finish a close fourth.
Cupid, winner of last year's 1 1/8-mile West Virginia Derby, used a victory in the Grade II Indiana Derby three weeks prior as his springboard. Multiple graded stakes winner Irap, who captured this year's Indiana Derby July 15, is awaiting a stakes at Saratoga Race Course, but the second- and fourth-place finishers, A.J. Foyt's Colonelsdarktemper and Albaugh Family Stable's Watch Me Whip, are entered at Mountaineer.
Add in Reddam Racing's B Squared, who finished second and third in two Grade III stakes in California against some of the top West Coast 3-year-olds, and the West Virginia Derby becomes quite the handicapping puzzle.
"It's a sneaky-deep field," said Mark Patterson, the assistant racing secretary at Mountaineer who is involved in recruiting horses for the race. "(The favorites) from the Triple Crown races are far from invincible.
"The Belmont Stakes was June 10, and that was a long time ago. The winner usually has raced much closer to the West Virginia Derby."
Patterson, who also handicaps races at Mountaineer, said the field is short on two things: true speed and true stamina. Patch and Lookin At Lee, who last ran in the Belmont Stakes, prefer to come from off the early pace. They have proven stamina but it's far from certain they'll get a legitimate pace, he said.
"It looks like a race in which nobody wants to go out there too fast early," Patterson said.
The West Virginia Derby usually attracts a good-sized field, and this year is no exception as 11 were entered. Patterson said he and racing secretary Joe Narcavish begin canvasing emerging and top 3-year-olds several months before the race and track those that fall by the wayside for a period of time. It's also a matter of educating trainers about the value of the race.
"A lot of guys know we're here, and they come about every year," Patterson said. "We try to recruit from far-away territories and talk with trainers who may not know what we're about and how prominent the race is. It's an evolving process to make sure everybody knows how big the race is. We always get a big field, but I'm surprised at the depth this year. Who else does that with all the other major 3-year-old races out there?"
First post for today's program is 2 p.m. The Derby is the eighth race with a planned post time of 5:21 p.m.

If you plan to visit Mountaineer for the West Virginia Derby program and want to get some information on how to handicap races and wager on them, HorsePlayerNOW representatives will be on hand on the deck on the track apron with plenty of information and–yes–eyepatches.
Why the eyepatches? One of the Derby favorites, Patch, had his left eye removed during his 2-year-old year and has generated a great deal of interest among racing fans. He has performed well on the racetrack; his only off-the-board finish in five starts came in the Grade I Kentucky Derby.
"We will be doing all-day seminars on how to handicap, read past performances, read the tote board, and understand money management and wager types," said Jeremy Plonk of HorsePlayerNOW, which is in its seventh year of the "Night School" online fan education program.
It will mark the third time the West Virginia Derby is part of the Night School Tour. Those who visit the booth also will get free tipsheets and wagering information cards.
Plonk said the eyepatches will be given away free to fans in support of Patch courtesy of HorsePlayerNOW, which will feature the promotion on Twitter. Fans will be encouraged to share their "Patch pics" as well.
As part of the promotion, Mountaineer will give HorsePlayerNOW wagering vouchers to be given away in an effort to encourage betting on the day's program.
"The West Virginia Derby ranks as one of our favorite stops because of the closeness with the fans and the support of management for doing what's right," Plonk said. "Mountaineer understands the importance of its signature day and our ability to develop one-time visitors into more informed and more frequent returnees."

Q: How to login a Webcrawler using the Apache HttpClient? I'm trying to write a crawler for a browser game using the Apache HttpClient 4.5.12 for Java. Currently, I`m stuck at the login part. I decided to use the Apache CredentialsProvider, hoping to be able to easily login the crawler so he can do his buissnes. But, sadly, it doesn't work. Maybe my way to login the crawler does not work, maybe my code is wrong or maybe the server doesn't support what I'm trying. Don't get me wrong webcrawlers work in the game, a few other players use one, too. But back ot my problem, here is my code:
public void clientCredentialsVersuch(){
    CredentialsProvider cp = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
    AuthScope authScope = new AuthScope("https://www.ag-spiel.de/index.php?section=login", AuthScope.ANY_PORT);
    Credentials credentials = new UsernamePasswordCredentials("UserName" ,"PassWord");
    cp.setCredentials(authScope, credentials);

    HttpClientBuilder clientBuilder = HttpClients.custom();
    clientBuilder = clientBuilder.setDefaultCredentialsProvider(cp);
    CloseableHttpClient httpClient = clientBuilder.build();

    HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet("https://www.ag-spiel.de/index.php?section=start");
    System.out.println(httpGet.getMethod());
    try {
        HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
        System.out.println(httpResponse.getStatusLine());
        System.out.println(httpResponse.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());

        InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(httpResponse.getEntity().getContent());
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);

        String line;
        while((line = br.readLine()) != null){
            System.out.println(line);
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

The authenticaion magic is set to happen untill the HttpGet declaraion, as the stuff afterwards is only there to check if my try worked. Unfortenatly, the website just rederects me to the "You must be loged in to do this" page.
Is my way completly wrong? Is it better to go a completly other way? Or did I just made a small mistake? Thanks for your help!


The Great Sphinx of Giza is a giant 4,500-year-old limestone statue situated near the Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt. Measuring 240 feet (73 meters) long and 66 feet (20 meters) high, the Great Sphinx is one of the world's largest monuments. It is also one of the most recognizable relics of the ancient Egyptians, though the origins and history of the colossal structure are still debated.
A sphinx (or sphynx) is a creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, with some variations. It is a prominent mythological figure in Egyptian, Asian, and Greek mythology.
In ancient Egypt, the sphinx was a spiritual guardian and most often depicted as a male with a pharaoh headdress—as is the Great Sphinx—and figures of the creatures were often included in tomb and temple complexes. For instance, the so-called Sphinx Alley in Upper Egypt is a two-mile avenue that connects the temples of Luxor and Karnak and is lined with sphinx statues.
Sphinxes with the likeness of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut also exist, such as the granite sphinx statue at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the large alabaster sphinx at the Ramessid temple in Memphis, Egypt.
From Egypt, the sphinx imported to both Asia and Greece around 15th to 16th century B.C. Compared with the Egyptian model, the Asian sphinx had eagle wings, was frequently female, and often sat on its haunches with one paw raised in depictions.
In Greek traditions, the sphinx also had wings, as well as the tail of a serpent—in legends, it devours all travelers unable to answer its riddle.
The most common and widely accepted theory about the Great Sphinx suggests the statue was erected for the Pharaoh Khafre (about 2603-2578 B.C.).
Hieroglyphic texts suggest Khafre's father, Pharaoh Khufu, built the Great Pyramid, the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in Giza. When he became Pharaoh, Khafre constructed his own pyramid next to his father's; though Khafre's pyramid is 10 feet shorter than the Great Pyramid, it is surrounded by a more elaborate complex that includes the Great Sphinx and other statues.
Residues of red pigments on the face of the Sphinx suggest the statue may have been painted.
Given the organization of the pyramids and the Sphinx, some scholars believe there may have been a celestial purpose to the Great Sphinx and temple complex, that is, to resurrect the soul of the pharaoh (Khafre) by channeling the power of the sun and other gods.
Several lines of evidence exist that tie the Great Sphinx to Pharaoh Khafre and his temple complex.
For one thing, the head and face of the Sphinx are strikingly similar to a life-size statue of Khafre that French archaeologist Auguste Mariette found in the Valley Temple—the ruins of a building situated adjacent to the Great Sphinx—in the mid-1800s.
Additionally, Mariette discovered remnants of a causeway (processional road) that connect the Valley Temple to a mortuary temple next to Khafre's pyramid. In the early 1900s, French archaeologist Emile Baraize dug up another building (the Sphinx Temple) directly in front of the Sphinx that's similar in design to the Valley Temple.
In the 1980s, researchers uncovered evidence that the limestone blocks used in the walls of the Sphinx Temple came from the ditch surrounding the great statue, suggesting workmen hauled away quarry blocks for the Sphinx Temple as they were being chipped off the Great Sphinx during its construction.
Researchers estimate that it would have taken 100 people 3 years to carve the Great Sphinx out of a single mass of limestone. But there's some evidence that these workers may have suddenly quit before fully finishing the sphinx and temple complex, such as partially quarried bedrock and remnants of a workman's lunch and tool kit.
Over the years, researchers have put forth many other theories for the Great Sphinx's origins, though most are refuted by mainstream Egyptologists.
Some theories suggest the face of the sphinx actually resembles Khufu and, therefore, Khufu built the structure. Alternatively, Pharaoh Djedefre—Khafre's older half-brother and Khufu's other son—built the Great Sphinx in commemoration of his father.
Other theories hold that the statue depicts Amenemhat II (around 1929 to 1895 B.C.) based on the style of the stripes on the sphinx's head cloth.
Some scientists also contend that the Great Sphinx is far older than is widely believed, based on the potential age of the causeway or various patterns of erosion of the statue.
What Egyptians called the Great Sphinx during its prime remains a riddle, because the word sphinx originates from Greek mythology some 2,000 years after the statue was built.
It's also unclear in what regard Egyptians held the Great Sphinx during the Old Kingdom (c. 2613-2181 B.C.), as there are few texts that discuss the statue. However, Khafre associated himself with the god Horus and the Great Sphinx may have been known as Harmakhet ("Horus on the Horizon"), as it was during the New Kingdom (1570-1069 B.C.).
Whatever the case, the statue began to fade into the desert background at the end of the Old Kingdom, at which point it was ignored for centuries.
Inscriptions on a pink granite slab between the Great Sphinx's paws tell the story of how the statue was saved from the sands of time. Prince Thutmose, son of Amenhotep II, fell asleep near the Sphinx, the story goes. In Thutmose's dream, the statue, calling itself Harmakhet, complained about its state of disarray and made a deal with the young prince: It would help him become pharaoh if he cleared away the sand from the statue and restored it.
Whether or not the dream actually occurred is unknown, but when the prince did, in fact, become Pharaoh Thutmose IV, he introduced a Sphinx-worshipping cult to his people. Statues, paintings, and reliefs of the figure popped up across the country and the sphinx became a symbol of royalty and the power of the sun.
The Great Sphinx was eventually forgotten again. Its body suffered from erosion and its face became damaged by time as well.
Though some stories claim Napoleon's troops shot off the statue's nose with a cannon when they arrived in Egypt in 1798, 18th-century drawings suggest the nose went missing long before then. More likely, the nose was purposely destroyed by a Sufi Muslim in the 15th century to protest idolatry. Part of the Sphinx's royal cobra emblem from its headdress and sacred beard have also broken off, the latter of which is now displayed in the British Museum.
The Sphinx was actually buried in sand up to its shoulders until the early 1800s, when a Genoese adventurer named Capt. Giovanni Battista Caviglia attempted (and ultimately failed) to dig out the statue with a team of 160 men.
Mariette managed to clear some of the sand from around the sculpture and Baraize made another large excavation push in the 19th and 20th centuries. But it wasn't until the late 1930s that Egyptian archaeologist Selim Hassan was able to finally free the creature from its sandy tomb.
Today, the Sphinx is continuing to deteriorate thanks to wind, humidity, and pollution. Restoration efforts have been ongoing since the mid-1900s, some of which failed and ultimately caused more damage to the Sphinx.
In 2007, authorities learned that the local water table under the statue was rising due to sewage being dumped in a nearby canal. The moisture ultimately spread through the porous limestone of the structure, causing the rock to crumble and break away in large flakes in some cases. Authorities installed pumps close to the Great Sphinx, diverting the groundwater and saving the relic from further destruction.

A Dallas homeowner, who was at home with his adult son, shot and killed 1 of 3 teenagers who kicked in his back door in the middle of the day. The teens had apparently skipped school and were looking for homes to burglarize. A neighbor and HOA member said this incident should send a strong message to the youth in the area.
Police say a grand jury will review the shooting, but say it seems pretty clear that the homeowner acted in self defense and no charges are expected.

Baccarat is a relatively simple game to learn. The goal of the game is to get a hand that is as close to 9 as possible. The game is played with a standard deck of 52 cards, with the values ranging from 2 to 9. Aces are counted as 1, 10s and face cards are counted as 0. Players make bets on either the player, the banker, or a tie. The dealer then deals two cards to the player and the banker. Depending on the value of the cards, the player and the banker may be dealt a third card. The hand closest to 9 wins.

At any time, the continuous development of high power LED flood lights , the market has become larger and larger, and there are many places that may face a problem and will not be installed. Below I will share the installation method of high power floodlights.
Installing high power floodlights is very simple, but it has to be troublesome to install. I have seen in many places that installing LED flood lights directly installs the floodlights and then connects them.
On the power line, (color signal line) In fact, this method is correct, but because the quality of the products produced by different manufacturers are different, manypoor quality, or problematic spotlights, repeatedly installed this several times, Because it is not a technician, installation and installation do not know why the LED floodlights are not properly lit (especially the color needs to be connected to the controller).
The first guarantee high power LED flood lights are good when receiving the goods. When receiving the LED high-power floodlights, try to check whether the LED floodlights are damaged or not.
After the second spotlight is ready to be installed at the construction site, it should first organize the installer according to the installation drawings attached to the factory. First connect several spotlights and try to install the drawings correctly. If there are conditions, you can arrange one person. After the test of the Taiwanese station, it is necessary to avoid the badness after the installation upstairs, and it must be removed.
Fourth, after the high-power LED flood light is fixed and connected, it is best to use the universal meter on the main power supply to check whether there is a wrong line.
Fifth, after all the test light, try to brighten for a while, the next day, the third day to review again, after doing this, all are good, generally there will be no problem.

The Truth Behind Michael Jackson And Freddie Mercury's Falling-Out
Dave Hogan/Getty Images
By Pauli Poisuo/Sept. 9, 2020 3:45 pm EST
Freddie Mercury was Queen's royally-voiced frontman whose epic career gave us hits like Bohemian Rhapsody, Show Must Go On and Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and whose equally epic life ended much too soon when he died of complications from AIDS at age 45. Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, sold millions and millions of records with his classic tunes like Billie Jean and Smooth Criminal, and though his strange personal habits and abuse allegations have somewhat tarnished his legacy over the years, he was still sitting firmly at the top of the music mountain in Queen's heyday.
It's hardly a surprise that these two world-famous entertainers and larger than life figures were friends with each other. In fact, they got along so well that they even made plans to record a bunch of songs together. Unfortunately, they were never able to wrap up their recording sessions, on account of a profound disagreement that stopped the project well before the finish line. Here's the truth behind Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury's falling-out.
Llamas and cocaine drove Mercury and Jackson apart
"Llamas and cocaine" might sound like Led Zeppelin's backstage, but it was actually the extraordinary reality of Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson during the time they worked together. As Rachel Chang of Biography tells us, the Queen singer and his Neverland-dwelling friend genuinely admired and respected each other. Unfortunately, when they started actually working together, they soon discovered that their work ethics clashed ... to say the least.
In 1983, the two stars were demoing three songs in Jackson's home studio, but Mercury soon called Queen manager Jim Beach to get him out of the situation. "Freddie said, 'You have to get me out of the studio'," Beach remembers the singer requesting. When he asked for more information, Mercury elaborated: "Because I'm recording with a llama. Michael's bringing his pet llama into the studio every day and I'm really not used to it and I've had enough and I want to get out."
Indeed, attempting to sing your heart out while a llama is hanging out in the room does seem like a pretty challenging work environment. However, Mercury's duet partner wasn't without his own complaints, either. Per Lesley-Ann Jones' biography, Mercury (via Hollywood Reporter), Jackson was less than enthused about Mercury using cocaine in the Thriller singer's living room, which ultimately contributed to the pair falling out. Still, at least the experience left them both an amazing rock 'n' roll story richer.
