New Factoring Companies Come and Go!
It appears a few factoring companies have dropped off the scene after making a strong appearance for a few months. Washington Square Financial, Woodbridge Investments, and Freedom Financial Solutions were all listed in the pay per click ads on the major search engines throughout the months of September, October, and November. These companies are no longer listed on the pay per click ad sections. Is this temporary?
Washington Square Financial management and owners were previously connected to Peachtree Settlement Funding. This company was listed everywhere in the pay per click ads. For the last two weeks WSF is no where to be scene.
Woodbridge Investments is another company who is no longer on the paid ad section of the search engines. This company is making a push in the organic section of the search engines though. Woodbridge Investments states on their homepage that they buy structured settlements and annuities. Sources tell this author that Woodbridge Investments is a factoring broker and not a direct buyer.

Departments A-I
What Is an LEPC?
Local Emergency Planning Committees were created as a result of the federal government passing the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA). The law stipulated that communities should have a committee to provide stakeholder input on emergency response plans, provide annual review capabilities, and act as a liaison between the public and companies that house chemicals within that community.
The LEPC consists of local and state officials, local emergency responders, facility representatives, community groups and media, and additional stakeholders such as hospital representatives, transportation representatives, and environmental representatives.
The Onslow County LEPC maintains bylaws in accordance with state and federal guidelines. View a copy: LEPC Bylaws
What Is the Mission of the Onslow County LEPC?
The mission of the Onslow County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) is to effectively plan for emergencies involving hazardous materials. The LEPC is tasked with the responsibility for:
Coordination of chemical information to emergency responders
HAZMAT training and exercises
Maintenance of the county-wide HAZMAT Incident Management Plan
SARA Title III Environmental Compliance
Site-Specific Chemical Planning Programs
Tier II Reporting
Local LEPC's also act as a receiving point for a Tier II report. Tier II reports, officially known as Emergency & Hazardous Chemical Inventory Forms, are submitted annually to the LEPC, as well as to local Fire Departments and the State Emergency Response Commission. The form identifies all chemicals that the business stores that are above the reporting thresholds (as set by the Federal Government) and identifies what hazards they pose, and how much they maintain, and lists emergency contact information for the business.
The LEPCs use this information to aid in planning and response should an incident occur at one of those facilities.
Requesting LEPC Information
Citizens may request copies of LEPC information including meeting minutes, membership lists, Emergency Operations Plan, Material Safety Data Sheets, and Tier II forms by emailing the Emergency Management office with the following information:
Your contact information to include a good phone number.
Specific documents you are requesting
For meeting minutes - please specify which meetings you would like copies of.
For Tier II and MSDS - please specify the specific facility that you are requesting data for including the name of the business and a mailing or physical address.
The EOP can be found online at this link: Onslow County EOP
You will be notified within 45 days time of when you can pick up the requested documents. Documents can be picked up at the Onslow County Emergency Operations Center located at 1180 Commons Dr. N, Jacksonville, NC anytime Monday-Friday between 8 am and 5 pm.

Q: interesting characters in URL in joomla i have a URL that looks like this
......index.php?option=com_jumi&fileid=8&Itemid=34
i know that i can view the source of the file just by view source from the browser, but since i have FTP permission for the site, i would like to be able to edit the file.
but i dont know which file to edit!
how do i find out which file is this link going to so that i can access it through ftp?

A: It should be here:
 Root Joomla Folder -> Components -> com_jumi

Now inside the com_jumi folder, it depends which file you want to edit, for example there you will find the file for current pages looks (View), a file with database queries (Model) and a main logic file called controller. You have to decide which file you want to edit.
Note: inside the com_jumi folder, the files can be inside other folders too, you will have to find out which file you want to edit.

SPC expands human rights work in Northern Pacific
Palau - Improving human rights and advancing the elimination of violence against women and children are shared goals of memorandums of agreement (MOA) signed in 2015 between the Secretariat of the Pacific Community's Regional Rights Resource Team and the Governments of Palau and the Republic of Marshall Islands (RMI).
An example of the extended work in northern Pacific is seen this week in Palau through support to the country's Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process. The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process is a State to State peer review reporting mechanism under the UN Human Rights Council. All UN member states are obliged to report under this process which includes monitoring the provision of human rights including: access to education, healthcare, employment, and freedom of speech; all of which contribute directly to the development of a nation.
SPC's Human Rights Adviser, Romulo Nayacalevu and a representative of the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat presented information on the UPR to members of the House of Delegates and members of the Senate in Palau this week and said "presentations to members of congress and senators this week on human rights and the UPR process has been very positive."
"We also provided an update on the UPR progress to the Cabinet. We are also pleased to have worked with the Government and members of the Human Rights Working Group, which was created under Presidential Order in 2014, on a draft skeleton of the second UPR report which the drafting team will finalise before the due date in October 2015." Mr Nayacalevu said.
Deputy Director of SPC's Regional Rights Resource Team, Mark Atterton said "SPC is enthusiastic about the opportunity to expand its human rights work in the North of the Pacific which historically has not had enough attention."
This is the first time SPC through its Regional Rights Resource Team is signing MOAs with the Governments of Palau and RMI to provide technical assistance and training to targeted Government civil servants and non-governmental representatives on human rights.
SPC, with generous funding from the European Union and the Government of Australia will establish an in country presence expanding its architecture of Country Focal Officers – staff seconded to the relevant line ministries leading on Human Rights for the national government. The UPR work is generously supported by the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Government of Australia.
Since 2012, SPC has had a Country Focal Officer in FSM based in the SPC Office in Pohnpei. It is anticipated that a new MOA with FSM will be signed before the end of 2015 for continued support.
"The provisions of support at the national level will include assistance to efforts for the implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), domestic violence legislation, legislative change in the areas of family law, gender equality and other measures in line with the national policies and plans as well as support to civil society" Mr Atterton said.
SPC is the principal scientific and technical agency supporting development in the Pacific Island region. It works to build a human rights culture that enhances the rule of law and democracy in the Pacific region. Promoting the use of human rights standards in law, practice and policy is part of SPC's Regional Rights Resource Team's broad, long-term strategy for achieving that goal.

"It's a weird road we're on right now––I guess it always has been," Jamie Lin Wilson says. She's sitting on her porch in D'Hanis, a tiny town on the Seco Creek in South Texas, not far from San Antonio. She laughs a little, then adds, "But nobody's life is the same. There is no blueprint."
Thank goodness for all the lonely paths Jamie's had to find that no one else has taken. With a voice that slides in and out of notes with easy grace, a sly sense of humor, and lyrics that highlight the details most of us miss, Jamie creates stark vignettes: intimate conversations between friends who might be lovers and lovers who can't be friends; kids hopping from stone to stone in a graveyard; the way rolling clouds can signal a new season. She lives and works in that sweet spot where folk and country meet––Guy Clark territory.
"It's unfair that the poets and songwriters are the ones who have the songs about their lives, when maybe that's not what's poetic," Jamie says. "Maybe the moments are the ones happening in everyday farmers' lives, or to a widow, or a son." It's her comfort in and commitment to two distinct worlds––that of the dream-chasing artists and the dirt-under-their-nails realists––that makes Jamie and her songs not just inviting, but cathartically important.

In the centenary year of the Wonthaggi mines, a musical requiem has been performed in honour of 13 men who died in a mining accident at the State Coal Mine in 1937.
Wonthaggi has been marking its centenary all year with a whole heap of events to reflect the town's history.
Wonthaggi was founded on the state coal mine, and much of the mine's history has become linked to the town's history.
One of the more tragic stories from the mine's past was an explosion which killed 13 miners in 1937 and became known as the 20 shaft disaster.
A special performance of a musical requiem, which paid respect to the men who died in the disaster, was performed recently as part of the town's centenary celebrations.
Directed by the composer, Larry Hills, and featuring the Bass Coast Chorale with a full orchestra, the musical requiem told of the events leading up to the explosion and the tragic deaths of the miners.
The ABC's Cath McAloon spoke with Larry Hills about the musical requiem.

Provide research and guidance regarding the influence of environment and identify achievable projects (e.g. treatment room, playroom).
Provide education regarding the impact of diversity on caregiving outcomes.
Provide evidence-based education and research to support the development and use of treatment rooms and comfort positions, education regarding the impact of developmentally supportive language on patient experience of fear (e.g. if you don't behave, I'll give you a shot).
Development of a psychosocial care vision to promote organizational culture shift.
Infrastructure to support psychosocial research.
Development and implementation of a psychosocial role within the organization to provide appropriate assessment, education, procedural support and reinforce coping outcomes.
Development of culturally responsive, patient and family centered, concrete educational tools that staff can use in absence of a psychosocial staff person including education regarding techniques to maximize patient coping through knowledge and empowerment (e.g. reward charts, care schedules, choice making, and interactive learning).
Research study design and analytics support to identify useable outcome metrics.
Assistance with budgeting for position development, and relevant Human Resource policies and procedures such as job descriptions.
Commitment to the development and support of play spaces and play opportunities.

Call them the Baby Aztecs: Palm Desert boys' golf could thrive with underclassmen
Palm Desert has transitioned from a senior-laden team to a team of sophomores and freshmen
Call them the Baby Aztecs: Palm Desert boys' golf could thrive with underclassmen Palm Desert has transitioned from a senior-laden team to a team of sophomores and freshmen Check out this story on desertsun.com: https://www.desertsun.com/story/sports/high-school/golf/2019/03/08/palm-desert-boys-golf-team-rely-sophomores-freshmen-reach-cif-again/3080438002/

After reaching the state tournament the last two years, Palm Desert High School starts the 2019 boys golf team with sophomores, freshmen and plenty of hope. Larry Bohannan, The Desert Sun
Call them the Baby Aztecs.
The Palm Desert High School boys' golf team, a powerhouse the last two years while reaching the CIF state tournament, features a radically different look for 2019.
Gone are five regular players from 2018, including current Division I college golfers Charlie Reiter and Ray Navis. The seniors have been replaced by sophomores and freshmen, but that doesn't mean the Aztecs have abandoned expectations for the postseason.
"We have potential," said Derrick Liu, the only senior for the Palm Desert team who will start most of the team's matches this year. "We obviously are not as good as we were last year, but you never know. I'm just going to go out and play my best. That's all I can do. That's the only thing I can control."
Liu is just one of the reasons there is still hope for a deep playoff run for Palm Desert this year. The other is left-hander Chris Wardrup, who returns to the Aztecs after winning the CIF-Southern Section individual title as a freshman last year.
Head coach Kurt Ney's team is also benefiting from other sophomores who saw action as freshmen last year and freshmen who are already working their way into the starting lineup for the team early in the season.

"Having lost five solid players from last year, four starters, it does present a different set of options," Ney said. "However, I'm excited with our incoming freshmen that we have. Two of them have jumped in right away and look like they have some good potential and a third one is right on the edge there.
"I'm very hopeful that we can advance in CIF," Ney added. "Whether we can make it to the state, that will be up to them."
The early season results for Palm Desert have been more than promising. In the 13-team Ayala tournament in Riverside on Monday, Palm Desert finished first with a team score of 23-over 383 with freshmen Braden Bernaldo and Cabot Ellis leading the team with 75s.
Tuesday in the first Desert Empire League match of the year against Palm Springs, Palm Desert posted a nine-hole score of 4-over 184 on the front nine of the FireCliffCourse at Desert Willow Golf Resort. Wardrup posted the team's best score, a strong 4-under 32.

For Wardrup, a freshman playing on a veteran team last year, the 2019 season feels a bit more comfortable.
"Last year, I didn't really know any of the players coming into the season," Wardrup said. "This year, I pretty much know all of the players. We have a lot of sophomores on the team, two seniors and I played with one of the seniors last year. It's a lot more comfortable."
Winning the CIF-SS individual title last year in a three-way playoff that included teammate Reiter has Wardrup wanting more this year.
"I'm trying to have a better season than last year," Wardrup said. "I just want to build on what I did last year."
Ney says he has confidence that Liu and Wardrup will play well on the course this year, but he says he has challenged both of the returning players from the 2018 state tournament team to become leaders for the younger players.
"Chris, who is a sophomore this year, is well advanced," Ney said. "He doesn't behave like a sophomore. So I've asked the two of them to help the other teammates out."

Even dominated by sophomores and freshmen, the Aztecs seem to be the clear favorites to win the first-ever DEL title this year. But Ney points out there does seem to be more competition for Palm Desert than in recent years.
The La Quinta Blackhawks have already posted some team scores better than their early season scores from last year. Rancho Mirage has built a solid program the last few years in reaching CIF-SS postseason play, though the Rattlers move from the Desert Valley League to the tougher and reconfigured DEL this year.
Even Palm Springs, which has struggled to field a minimum team of five players the last few years, has more than a dozen golfers out for the golf team this year, though many are playing golf for the first time.
For Ney, the regular season will again be about getting his team to improve by the time the postseason events are played.
"What we want to do it set a goal for ourselves with each match and go out and do what we need to do to make us better so that we can be competitive in CIF," Ney said. "So that's our goal."

And then I turned back: The Iliac Crest by Cristina Rivera Garza
Breathing heavily, with fat drops of sweat sliding down my face and chest, I thought of how you are never more authentic than when inside your own nightmares.
I almost hesitate to write about The Iliac Crest. I feel that to tread too carelessly into the heart of this enigmatic dark fable would be risk fracturing its utterly devastating beauty. One may be best to enter its world of shifting borders where space, time, reality, fantasy, sanity, madness, identity, and gender are bent, blurred and ever so steadily unraveled without any preconceptions. Not that there is a viable bread crumb trail that could be followed to ensure Absolute Understanding. But it may be best to let the narrator be your guide, or rather to accompany him as his self-contained, apathetic existence is disturbed and distorted.
The novel is set in an undefined time, in an isolated borderland on the coast between North City and South City. To travel in either direction requires passing through heavily policed border checkpoints. Disappearance is contagious and faith in feminism is a faded notion—sexist attitudes toward women limit their roles in society. The image is a jarring one, and an atmosphere of hopelessness and decline is prevalent, nowhere more so than in the state hospital where the narrator works as a doctor tending to the destitute, wretched, and deranged who have come there to die.
A note from the author, Mexican writer Cristina Rivera Garza, that opens the book provides some context. Navigating the US-Mexico border has been a constant in her life and this is reflected in the role that the idea of borders, geopolitical and otherwise, plays in this work. Many borders are challenged here, not least of which is the line between male and female. The consequences of rigid gender roles and the silencing of women's lives and voices is a central concern in the story she has to tell. "Our bodies are keys that open only certain doors," she says. "Our bodies speak indeed, and our bones are our ultimate testimony. Will we be betrayed by our bones?" As a reader with a gender different history myself, that question haunted me from the outset.
The narrative begins on the classic dark and stormy night, when a stranger appears seeking shelter. She introduces herself as Amparo Dávila. The narrator is instantly captivated by her striking appearance and her expansive presence. But she frightens him. Several hours later, the woman he had been expecting, a former lover referred to only as The Betrayed, arrives and immediately collapses on the threshold. Before long, the women have installed themselves in his home, disrupting his solitary life. While The Betrayed convalesces, Amparo Dávila sets up a daily routine which includes sitting down to write in a notebook. She informs him that she was once a great writer. Now she is writing about her "disappearance" and she believes he can help her.
The narrator is skeptical. He doesn't trust his unwelcome houseguest. She claims to know truths about him that confuse and unnerve him. And as the Betrayed recovers, he is horrified to discover that they share strange language that is unlike any he has ever encountered. The more he tries to get to the truth behind the identity of The Disappeared as he comes to call the so-called writer, the more he finds himself balancing on the uncertain edge of reality. His emotions swing between desire and anger and fear. He finds himself alienated and isolated. At one point he remarks: "I felt as if I were in a parenthesis in a sentence in an unknown language."
Certain images and expressions are repeated, like refrains that echo throughout the text, creating an incantatory quality, enhancing the increasingly unsettling mood. The clarity with which the narrator appears to begin his account is steadily eroded until he can no longer trust his own sensations. As the line between truth and lies is obfuscated, the narrative grows chillingly opaque. But the tone remains measured, the language hauntingly beautiful.
I have resisted delving too far into the sequence of events that unfold—real, remembered or imagined—because I feel this is a book best experienced without too much plot detail in advance. But I cannot resist a longer quote that captures the sheer beauty of the prose:
Hurried and intense brushes, a proximity that, out of so much fear, smelled of sweat and adrenaline. Everything, however, would return to normal with a kiss. Usually it was just that: a kiss. One. Lips together. Saliva. Time turned flesh, color. A long kiss, like an expedition. After, just after that, the separation began. The beginning. This. This walk like someone wearing shackles around their ankles, this sensation of the body against air in an age-old battle, this weariness, this desolation. What do I know about the great wings of love? The pelicans appeared again almost overhead, but much higher. I paused to watch them for a couple of minutes. Silence. Air. Time. I imagined them fleeing from their own wings and, in that moment, I raised my finger to my lips, trying to detect traces of something felt from far off in time. Yes, indeed, you turn back. And turning back achieves nothing.
I confess I finished this book breathless. Anxious even. Although I knew that Amparo Dávila, the author at the centre of the mystery, is a real woman—a Mexican writer whose own work often treads the uneasy borders between the real and the uncanny—I decided not to search her until I had finished reading the novel. I was pleased to find an article in the Paris Review online and one of her short stories in the Winter 2017 print issue. Originally published in Spanish in 2002, The Iliac Crest has helped rekindle interest in Dávila who is now in her late 80s. Christina Rivera Garza captures her spirit, but in a mesmerizing, wholly original tale that is perhaps more timely than ever.
The Illiac Crest is translated by Sarah Booker who also provides valuable insights in her Translator's Note. The publisher is Feminist Press.
Note: Since posting this, translator Sarah Booker has kindly shared links to two other Dávila stories she has translated: "Griselda" and "The Square Patio" The latter, in particular, has strong resonances in The Iliac Crest.

It's hard to review books like this, but there's enough in your review to suggest that I would like this:)
There are some plot elements I so wanted to mention, but to do so could undermine some of the suspense that is created—and in a short Gothic tale that is half the charm. There is a socio-political subtext that the author refers to in advance, but there are also, I am now seeing many intertextual elements incorporated from Amparao Dávila's work. If I was acquainted with her work before reading this I would have picked up more. However it is equally exciting to find them after the fact as I read more of her stories.

Oh dear – another for my "soon to be purchased" pile.
Thanks Joe – sound exactly what I like.
I was immediately drawn to this when I saw it online. I placed a hold at a local store and picked up the day they got it, several days before it was due to be released. I'm not usually that impulsive, but it is worth it!
buriedinprint says:
I never know what to do in this situation either, being firmly and vehemently determined to avoid spoilers as a reader but, then, stuck, when reading something amazing, which leaves me breathless and nearly desperate to discuss in greater detail. You've certainly whet my appetite here. I'm not sure why, but something about your description and the quotation has reminded me of the artwork of Remedios Varo. Darkness. Spirit. Haunting. Key. I'll go in search of this one!
This was a real treat—as an allegory it works on many levels but most essential it's a wonderful haunting fable. I would not have known of it had I not seen several online friends sharing photos of the cover and comments about how they didn't want it to end. It's a short book , but you won't want to rush it.

I just finished this and thought it was so good. And you did a fine job of reviewing it in an enticing way that did not reveal too much. I'll be moving on to her other two novels available in English very shortly.
Thanks. This is one book that I feel is best read without too much advance detail. I also think it best to leave her otherworldly work open to a reader's own unique interpretation. That's what makes her so magical.
Have you read The Houseguest collection? I actually read it not long before reading this, though at the time not fully aware of how much of Dávila's stories and themes suffuse this work. I'm only now beginning to think back on those tales and see more parallels. It's really quite extraordinary what Rivera Garza has accomplished.
No, I don't have it yet. I was impressed with the materials I was able to track down when I first published the review, so it's on my wishlist.
I think you will appreciate seeing some of the thematic and structural connections with this. I actually found the collection a bit uneven, but plan to revisit it after having now read this.

Adam Scott's First Look at Madame Web Movie
Adam Scott Joins Sony Spider Man
Continuing with their own upcoming project, Sony is starting to get progress on this new part of the franchise. With Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Morbius producing mixed results, many are interested to see how Sony continues its Spider-Man spin-off universe.
For your information, the film has been slightly delayed until October 6, 2023, which should have given the filmmakers more time to sort things out.
With filming now officially making progress, fans are getting a little glimpse of what's in this weird Sony image. Earlier images from the Madame Web set revealed a first look at Dakota Johnson, who some say appears to resemble a certain version of her comic book counterpart.
Adam Scott Seen on Madame Web Set
JustJared shared photos from Sony's Madame Web in Boston, revealing a first look at actor Severance Adam Scott shooting for the film as his yet-to-be-announced character. A full picture of Scott on set, as shared by Twitter user @ledtasso, can be seen below:

With Parks and Recreation being one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, and Severance having proven so successful of late, excitement is high for Adam Scott to join the Marvel universe. Granted, many hoped it would be in the MCU under the watchful eye of Marvel Studios, but Sony's Spider-Man Universe had to.
Looking at Scott's set photos, there's no denying that he looks a lot like the older Peter Parker, Tom Holland is often seen wearing a similar blue shirt with a white t-shirt underneath. Depending on whether Scott appears in the Venom and Morbius universe or elsewhere in the Multiverse, maybe he could become Spider-Man from the Sony universe in the future. Madame Web hits theaters on October 6, 2023.

Hang On A Minute Lads, I've Got A Great Idea…
"All farewells should be sudden", proclaimed The Verve on the cover of History in 1995, a matter of days before they all started punching each other live on Radio 1 and broke up just as they were on the verge of a massive breakthrough. Then they reappeared eighteen months later and got their big breakthrough with one astonishing song that The Rolling Stones promptly stole all of the revenue for, and went on to bore everyone senseless for eighteen million years. And that was just the length of one song. As they evidently realised themselves, they had got it all completely wrong – any artistic sign-off should be properly and carefully considered if you don't want your work to be judged entirely on that botched ending, as anyone who has sat through twelve thousand series of a story arc-driven American drama show only to be confronted with a feature-length finale that basically just says "and eventually they were rescued by… oh, let's say… Moe" will confirm.
You will not win any prizes for guessing that my most genuinely hated with an intensity that makes me want to hurl bus stops at the production team ending of anything ever was Lost. The publicity promised that it would be 'the television event of the decade', which it probably was if you were in the market for aimless metaphysical twaddle that answered absolutely no questions whatsoever (apart from Richard always being the same age 'because he is') but everyone got to have a nice sob at the soppy romantic bits and anyone who complained was snorted at and talked down to by the cult-like adherents who couldn't accept what they had just sat through and indeed by the showrunners snarking about concepts like giving The Smoke Monster a name 'taking us down a narrative route we didn't want to go down' etc etc as though anyone who cared about Nikki, Mr. Eko or where in the name of flying sanity that hot air balloon came from didn't 'deserve' this special treat they'd been generous enough to give us. Put it this way, as Television Events Of The Decade went, it was no Richard Herring as Percy The Shepherd on Servants. Worse still, some – but not all – of the outstanding questions were glibly answered in the DVD-only extra episode The New Man In Charge, adding insult to injury when you realise how easily they could have incorporated all that into the actual series without pissing about with bastard Magic Wine.
It really is a shame that Lost had to end that way, though, as it really would be nice to be able to remember it for that fantastic much-imitated and rarely-equalled 'cold open' to Series Two, where it slowly became apparent that the man obliviously running through his high-powered commuter breakfast routine to the sound of Mama Cass was actually on the other side of that hatch in the ground that they'd blown open in the previous series' cliffhanger. In fact, it would be even nicer to remember it for the cliffhanger to Series Two itself, where an unfortunately-timed and spectacularly badly judged science-vs.-faith smackdown inside that same research station results in a massive blowout of electromagnetic energy, turning the sky purple and making a sound like someone dragging twenty five million portakabins across a car park, as everyone in the various stages of the latest round of Castaways-vs.-'Others' subterfuge looks on terrified (apart from Ben Linus, who – hilariously – just looks mightily huffed) and that once so important hatch is sent whizzing through the sky, embedding itself into the ground inches away from that whingey teenager and her baby. Now that's how you get everyone to tune in again for the next series. Just remember to put something in it worth tuning in for, that's all that any of us ask.
The best endings are more than just a line drawn under everything, though. They also point towards a future of intriguing possibilities, whether it's more of the same in a different guise, or building on what has gone before to make something else entirely. Here, then, are ten of my very favourite endings of all time, when everyone involved got everything right and nobody walked away disappointed. If you disagree, I've got some cut-price Magic Wine you might be interested in.
Doctor Who: The Parting Of The Ways
Those who had followed Russell T. Davies' career for some time before he somehow managed the near-impossible and not only brought Doctor Who back but made it into a smash hit show for all the family all over again will have been only too aware that he didn't always manage to give his earlier televisual flashes of genius the endings that they deserved, so there was a lot riding on the all-important conclusion of that crucial first series of Doctor Who – and, in all honesty, not everyone expected that he would be able to pull it off. Against all expectations, The Parting Of The Ways more than delivered with a jaw-dropping resolution featuring Rose essentially absorbing the energy and consciousness of the Tardis and using it to wipe out the resurrected Daleks and bring a startled-looking Captain Jack back to life, but being unable to control this unstoppable new ability and going in seconds from omnipotence to her head being about to literally burst into a million pieces with the enormity of it all. In steps The Doctor to draw it out of her with a kiss – which the audience are left to interpret in whichever manner they wanted to – and as the Tardis takes off and a devastated Jack misses it by seconds, The Doctor begins firing out ominously unfunny wisecracks and making dark hints about unpredictable changes and a special trick Time Lords have for just this kind of eventuality, before suddenly exploding with orange light, and emerging with a new face and – to his discomfort – new teeth. A heart-thumping climax to a nail-biting two-parter, clearly intended as a surprise so it's a shame that it wasn't allowed to stay one, and if it really was all put together at the last minute because Christopher Eccleston wanted to go off and do his 'serious' acting in GI Jane and Heroes, then we should appreciate RTD all the more.
Unless you had been spoilered by dimwits on social media, nobody really expected omniscient extra-terrestrial supervillain Thanos to succeed in his plan to wipe out half of a supposedly overpopulated Universe at the end of Avengers: Infinity War. Having outsmarted The Avengers, The Guardians Of The Galaxy and pretty much every other team and outsider that the Marvel Cinematic Universe could throw at him (well, apart from The Defenders, but let's just gloss over that for now) and acquired all six Infinity Stones and the accompanying Infinity Gauntlet, the permanently underwhelmed Eternal-Deviant hybrid snaps his fingers seconds before Thor can finish him off with Stormbreaker, and it suddenly all starts to go very wrong indeed. Out in space, Mantis feels what's about to happen to her moments before it does, Drax The Destroyer is lost in the face of an 'enemy' he can't just thump, Doctor Strange despondently accepts that there is no hope left, Star-Lord heaves a disappointed sigh, and Spider-Man – who they've actually remembered is a teenage boy in a world of villain-walloping adults – sobs and shakes about not wanting to go as he turns into dust before everyone's eyes. Back on Earth, Bucky Barnes calls out in confusion to his one true friend from the olden days Captain America, War Machine thunders around in a panic-stricken search for the downed Falcon, a grief-stricken Scarlet Witch doesn't even seem to notice it happening to her, and Black Panther fades into nothingness while tending to his injured comrades; the most heart-kicking moment, though, is when genetically engineered cyborg-raccoon Rocket utters a disbelieving "no… no no no" as tree creature Groot disintegrates into the breeze. It's quite some film that can achieve that with two ridiculous comic relief characters. Having seen their friends and colleagues evaporate in a matter of seconds, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, War Machine, Rocket and The Hulk – and, up on Titan, Iron Man and Nebula – are left thinking exactly the same as the audience; how are they going to get out of this one? Well, all might not be as lost as the sheer shock might make it appear. Nobody knows what's happened to Ant-Man and The Wasp, for a start, and when people start disappearing over at S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury just about manages to get an emergency message out to someone with an all too familiar Caller ID…
You can hear me talking to Martin Ruddock about THAT Avengers: Infinity War cliffhanger here.
Frequently cited as one of the most iconic television moments of the nineties, two series' worth of boiling over tensions at the shared house on Benjamin Street start shaking the communal saucepan lid at Miles and Francesca's wedding. There's already a question mark over their suspiciously swift elevation to matrimonial bliss, and equal doubts being cast by Anna's colleagues about the compatibility of her chosen profession and her hard partying lifestyle, when the already fractious relationship between aimless drifter Egg and paranoid moaner Milly gets walloped with a flamethrower by an ambiguous revelation from morally grey work rival Rachel regarding the latter's affair with one of their bosses, creepy peace and love merchant Mr. O'Donnell. To the deliciously ironic strains of Love Is In The Air, angry words between the couple degenerate into angry fisticuffs between Milly and Rachel as the hapless supporting characters endeavour to separate the whirling cloud of kicks and scratches, upon which errant housemate Warren returns from his fired-from-a-law-firm-for-being-gay-in-a-built-up-area inspired round-the-world jaunt – apparently having stepped straight off the plane, which he had equally apparently boarded directly from a Hawaiian beach – to witness the spectacle. Pausing only to take a sip from a stray Bacardi and Coke, he grins, raises a toast and chuckles "Outstanding!". Better still, although the end credits were followed by the unseen owner of a mysterious pair of hands perusing an ad for a new housemate, this all too rare example of a series that refused to talk down to its target audience and treated the taboo areas of their day to day lives in a relatable and casual manner was left exactly where it was, as everyone involved knew only too well that making any more of it would spoil that. So it's a good job that nobody ever did. Ever.
You can find more of my thoughts on This Life – and the sequel they never made – here.
It's 1976, the AOR-soundtracked epic end of school year party in the woods is drawing to a close, and everyone has learned lessons along the way. Not the sort of moralising hogwash you'd normally find in this type of movie though, nor indeed anything dramatic or moving. Just the sort of minor things that happen without anyone realising when you let your guard down in the days before you learn how far to pull it back up again, and the laws of the locker-side hierarchy shift just that little bit. Darla and O'Bannion reveal widely-derided flaws in their character that suggest they're not exactly going to be ruling the roost quite so much next term (though thankfully we were spared a deleted scene in which Benny launched into a racist rant). Having refused to sign a pledge promising he will not indulge in recreational drug use for the good of the team, star football player Pink sits down to smoke a huge joint with Slater, Shavonne and various other less than reputable stoner conspiracy theorists on the school's fifty yard line. Mike, Tony and Cynthia have stepped spectacularly out of their externally assigned nerdy outcast roles by respectively standing up to a bully, standing up for a bully's victim (who seems quite smitten with his orthodoxy-questioning line of attack), and relenting to the charms of the sort of boys your mother warned you about. Best of all, having initiated himself in the ways of weed and booze, smashed a car window with a bowling ball (and narrowly escaped a gun-toting vigilante), got it on with a girl in the year above and delivered flourbomb-assisted retribution to O'Bannion for subjecting him to an Alice Cooper-soundtracked whacking with a wooden bat, Mitch rolls home with the dawn breaking only to find his older sister has his back. Whatever the immediate future holds for them all is left to the imagination. And, mercifully, that's precisely where Richard Linklater has elected to leave it.
Ceefax
On 22nd October 2012, after twenty eight years of loyal (if still taking forever to get to the page you'd selected) service and having just about seen off the challenge of the World Wide Web, the BBC's enduring teletext service Ceefax was finally put paid to by the relentless onward march of digital broadcasting. To mark the occasion, and introduced by the old stripy BBC2 ident, one final instalment of Pages From Ceefax rattled through the day's actual News, Weather, Politics (dominated by a much less affectionately remembered outmoded relic, David Cameron), Sport, Travel and Stock Exchange Indices, backed by a nostalgic selection of anonymous library music light funk workouts of yesteryear, culminating in – what else – seventies soft-rock riff festival BART by Creedence Clearwater Revival spinoff act Ruby tearing through speakers that were now actually capable of handling it while a selection of those big full-page section-introducing splash screens gave way to a caption reading simply 'BBC Ceefax 1974-2012 – Thanks For Watching', and many a nostalgic tear was shed. Speaking of BBC standbys that endearingly remained in service long after they lost any relevance, point or purpose, let's have a moment's satire for Week Ending, Radio 4's rarely amusing topical comedy show that drew to a close after twenty six dutiful years of Play School parodies written by people who had never seen Play School, sketches about Cabinet Minsters getting the names of popular fast food menu options wrong, and up to the minute one-liners about Northern Ireland Secretary Tom King's back garden and Sadeness (Part 1) by Enigma sent in by schoolchildren. Whether this was because of the arrival of a new strain of unparodyable Pretty Straight Guys in politics or because they somehow accidentally included an actual proper joke while no-one was looking remains a matter of some debate. In the last ever edition, reverse-successive Prime Ministers from Blair to Wilson wandered into sketches and demanded the 'proper' theme tune, unravelling backwards in time from that dismal post-Have I Got News For You 'wacky news' effort complete with 'Collapsing Big Ben' effect through the seemingly infinite loop of Party Fears Two right back to the irritatingly whistly jazz shuffle that played behind namechecks for Larkajin Babs, Gintilly Roundabout, Stephen Hollihosiery, Peru, Dick Hickory, Simeon Sameon, Benpole Bambendy, Lynn And Barry Haribeen, Therese And Tommy Territory, Melton Stitt, Massingbird Massingbird, Gary Riot, Keith Brouhaha, Christ, Lahdidah Hardcastle, Engelbert Impromptu and Fact Portugal.

Doctor Who: The War Games
Yes, it's more Doctor Who, but this time it's back in the black and white era. Right at the end of the black and white era, in fact. Episode Ten of The War Games, a story in which time-travelling megalomaniacs attempt to create a 'Super Army' using the best combatants from all conflicts in Earth's history, sees The Doctor's previously secretive past catch up with him as he reluctantly calls on The Time Lords for help with returning the hundreds of thousands of stranded military men and women to their correct place in time and space. Brought to what we didn't know was called Gallifrey yet to stand trial for the terrible crime of pilfering a Tardis and actually caring enough about anyone apart from himself (or herself, just to annoy any NOT MY DOCTBOR!!!7 halfwits looking in) to get 'involved', The Doctor is forced to say goodbye to loyal assistants Jamie and Zoe who have their memories wiped before being similarly returned to their correct place in time and space ("they'll forget me, won't they?", The Doctor quietly asks in a genuinely heartbreaking moment) before being held to account by a panel of humourless Time Lords. After showing them mind-projected footage of some of his most deadly enemies (oh and The Quarks) apparently trying to march back and forth in an airing cupboard, the sentence is passed – The Doctor will be exiled to Earth and given a new appearance. Comic bickering about the various presented facial options is correctly dismissed as stalling for time, and The Doctor is sent spinning off into blackness, into the middle of the screen and into history, and with him goes all seven years and two lead actors of black and white Doctor Who, and indeed a whole way of making television. When it came back, it was in colour and with Jon Pertwee, and to all intents and purposes a whole new programme.
A determined-looking man drives across London, storms into a shadowy-looking office, angrily slams down a letter of resignation and storms out again. Before he's even left the building, unseen hands are redacting and shredding files and a mechanical arm slams a photo of him into a drawer marked 'RESIGNED', and he wakes up the next morning in a jolly psychedelic holiday camp where he can do pretty much everything bar leave. The entire setup for The Prisoner nailed by the opening titles in two minutes flat, and one of the most frightening and disturbing sequences ever seen on television, despite what any cheerleader for the latest HBO and/or Netflix series might have to say about Joss Whedon inventing the wheel while watching the episode of The Sopranos where 'Finchy' from The Office comes up with the idea for everything ever. Even so, it's got nothing on the ending. Having finally won his freedom simply by wearing the authorities down with his refusal to co-operate, Number Six is allowed to return to London and his old life. What he doesn't see, though – but we do – is that his front door now opens and closes automatically exactly like those in The Village. Fittingly for a series whose main overriding message was never to trust anyone who claims to have all the answers, the final episode of The Prisoner just left viewers with even more questions, and one simple terrifying conclusion – wherever you are, 'they' will always be watching. Be seeing you.
You can hear me talking to Emma Burnell and Steve Fielding about my thoughts on the ending of The Prisoner here.
On The Hour
Welcome to Permanews! After two series of broadcast news impersonation as convincing as it was downright silly, the On The Hour team were all ready to move on to bigger, better, darker and harder things (and playing themselves at snooker), but could they go out without making one last point? Not when their species was Homo Sapinews. The last ever On The Hour opens with an alarmingly realistic mid-headline technical breakdown, and as the Emergency Drama Unit step up to fill the blank airtime with a production of Thanks George by Geoff Taylor, Christopher Morris hotfoots it across the BBC, relentlessly churning out the main stories so far with just enough time to catch his breath before On The Hour becomes a Twenty Four Hour Fact Machine – that's news for twenty four hours every day, each day of the week, every week of all fortnights. All other programmes on Radio 4 will no longer exist, and in a sense, they never have. The end credits are followed by a cry of "Roll out the red carpet – news is back in town!", and it begins, as multiple Christopher Morrises with no gaps between their words mechanically dispense updates, analysis and public feedback on a bluebottle buzzing indolently around an Essex village. You could probably call it satire ahead of its time, except that nobody involved would really have realised that one day, this exact same perception-troubling combination of self-important urgency and lack of anything whatsoever to say would be all around us every day and lead to bullshit referendums, denigrated experts and shambolic Savile lookalikes in Number 10, while everyone else campaigns to have the BBC closed down because The News shouts so loud that they just can't hear the 98% of non-news content on all of the other channels. Where's Sgt. Murphy when we need him?
Goodbye Mr. Ed from Tin Machine II
Like them, hate them, use them as a springboard for a long boring pretentious diatribe founded on the assumption you are the only person ever to have heard Low, 'Heroes' or Lodger, there is no getting away from the fact that Tin Machine existed. Nor indeed that they marked a pivotal moment in David Bowie's career that saved him and us from an eternity of endless Greatest Hits tours with all-star renditions of the 'classics', and that some people – gasp – actually liked them. Right at the end of the second and final album, you'll find one of the very best David Bowie songs that hardly anyone has ever heard. Co-written with much-maligned drummer Hunt Sales, Goodbye Mr. Ed is a surprisingly tuneful scattershot swipe at everything that's still wrong with America, from the tacit persistence of background racism to the bafflingly point-missing commercialisation of his old commercialism-subverting friend Andy Warhol, hinged around the couplet "some things are so big, they make no sense, history's so small, people are so dense", which obviously in no way whatsoever calls to mind anything that has happened in America more recently. Nobody has ever quite worked out what TV's premier talking horse has to do with it all, though. Then with a screeching squabble of guitars and saxophone snipped out of little-heard b-side Hammerhead, that's it for Tin Machine. Without whom we would never have got The Buddha Of Suburbia, 1. Outside or Earthling.
You can find some thoughts in defence of Tin Machine here.
The Italian Job
In probably the most famous literal cliffhanger of all time, Charlie Croker's soccer fan-impersonating gang are about to actually get away with $4,000,000 in gold bullion… until their rowdy coach suddenly has to swerve to avoid one of the Minis that didn't quite rebound down and off the Turin mountainside as planned, and they are left teetering over the edge of a very very high road indeed. Working on the theory that the gold is causing them to see-saw over the precarious rockface, Charlie attempts to very very slowly edge towards it and drag it back, only to see it trundle further out of reach; lying flat on the ground and unable to even move for fear of upsetting the balance, he simply turns round to Arthur, Rozzer, Camp Freddie and company and reassures them "Hang on a minute lads… I've got a great idea". The credits roll, the rousing rhyming slang knees-up number from earlier in the film plays ironically, and nobody ever quite knows what he'd come up with… except that it was always planned with a sequel that never came about in mind, and Ian Kennedy Martin came up with the idea of running the petrol tanks at the back of the coach dry back in 1969. Not that it stops some bright spark from getting news media attention every eighteen months or so for loudly proclaiming that they've 'thought' of a 'solution'. They should stick to reporting on that bluebottle really.
And that's how you do an ending. Without going over the top. Or indeed going 'over the top'. It's not the note that I want to go out on here, though, so here's one last extra ending. Involving the star of probably the second most famous literal cliffhanger of all time.
Doctor Who – Time And The Rani
Whatever you might think of late eighties Doctor Who, it's hard to deny that everyone involved put up a good fight in the face of a BBC that wanted to cancel it, a fan following that didn't want it if it wasn't made to their exact precise specifications, and a general public who couldn't care less but they used to like it when it was Tom Pertwee and the maggots or something what time's Laura And Disorder on etc etc. It's slightly more difficult to mount a defence of the Seventh Doctor's debut story Time And The Rani – though someone not a million miles away from here once did – but that cheerful and optimistic closing scene is something even the hardest cynics can take a positive note away from. After announcing that "Time and tide melt the snowman" ("Wait for no man!!" – "Who's waiting? I'm ready!"), The Doctor and Mel bid a jaunty farewell to the Lakertyans and head into the Tardis on – it has to be said – a rather uncertain note. "You're certainly going to take a bit of getting used to", muses the normally perma-chirpy companion. "Oh I'll grow on you, Mel", replies her newly regenerated fellow traveller. "I'll grow on you". And for some of us, he did.
And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is how you do an en-… oh hang on, I forgot Sapphire And Steel trapped in the cafe that was 'nowhere', didn't I. Endut! Hoch Hech!
You can find features on The War Games and the end of black and white Doctor Who, Tin Machine, Michael Caine's sixties movies and my epic defence of Time And The Rani in my book Can't Help Thinking About Me, a collection of columns and features with a personal twist. Can't Help Thinking About Me is available in paperback here or from the Kindle Store here. You can also find at-the-time reactions to the Lost finale and the entire Russell T. Davies era of Doctor Who in Well At Least It's Free, another collection of columns and features. Well At Least It's Free is available in paperback here or from the Kindle Store here.
Alternately, if you're just feeling generous, you can buy me a coffee here. We didn't mention the Gold Blend couple's big climactic finale, did we? Good.
That Was This Life That Was is a look back at both series of This Life; you can find it here.
You can hear me talking to Martin Ruddock about THAT Avengers: Infinity War cliffhanger in It's Good, Except It Sucks here, or if you'd prefer, talking to David Smith about the Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. finale – which did pretty much everything right – here.

Havre de Grace, Maryland
September 7, 2019 October 3, 2019 ~ Steven J. Scheinin
The history of Havre de Grace, Maryland, begins with the voyage of Capt. John Smith here in 1608. In 1652 a treaty with the Susquehannock Indians led to settlement of the area.
Godfrey Harmer was born in Sweden in the year 1598. The land on which the town of Havre de Grace now stands was laid out for Godfrey Harmer on July 19, 1658 and called Harmer's Town. Naturalized as a citizen of Maryland in 1661, he transferred his allegiance from the King of Sweden to Lord Baltimore. Harmer was an Indian trader and interpreter.
The town sits at the confluence (I love that word) of the Susquehanna River, (which originates 444 miles north at Otsego Lake in Cooperstown, New York) and the Chesapeake Bay.
The city got it's current name from the Marquis de Lafayette [statute above] who visited this town shortly after the Revolutionary War, and said it reminded him of the French port city, Le Havre de Grace, which means "The City of Mercy". The residents incorporated the town as Havre de Grace in 1785.
We walked the 3 mile Lafayette Trail which took us to all the still standing historic sites, like the Aveilhe-Goldsborough house,
built in 1801.
Most of the house in Havre de Grace were destroyed by the British on May 3, 1813. During the War of 1812, the British burned Washington and then proceed up the Chesapeake Bay, bombarding Fort McHenry, and then proceeding to Havre de Grace to destroy the Iron Foundry here. Like Fort McHenry, they fired Congreve rockets. They were developed by Sir William Congreve, born May 20, 1772 in Kent, England. The rockets gave inspiration to Francis Scott Key to include in his poem: "and the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air".
The 45 mile long Susquehanna and Tidewater Canal was completed in 1839 and ran from Wrightsville, Pennsylvania to Havre de Grace, Maryland. In fact, it ended at the spot I am standing,
where the Susquehanna River meets the Chesapeake Bay. Barges would travel the canal, pulled by mules, until 1897, when railroad signaled it's death knoll. The canal was stilled used locally until 1909.

So happy to see you're back at it. Your history lessons are priceless. I'm back home in Portland. Rod & Mary are still at Fairview until his eye drs. say 'it's a go'! I may not go back until they move on east from Louisiana. Thanks for including me in your mailings!! Joyce
Thank you Joyce. Miss playing dice with you. Hope things work out for Rod & Mary.

We recently moved there. Too bad we're out of town this weekend.
Hi Andy, we will be here for a month. When you get back, give us a call and we will give you a tour.


Kawah Ijen is one of the most incredible and surreal places I've ever visited. It's the site of a labor intensive sulfur mining operation where miners collect and carry huge loads of pure sulfur up from the crater floor along a steep, rocky path amid clouds of sulfur dioxide gas, all for the equivalent of about ten dollars a day.
Protected patrol vehicles. The Protected Patrol fleet offers mobility for personnel and loads whilst offering protection from mine and ballistic threats.

Q: Authorization header is missing in ARM template I am trying to deploy my ARM template to the QA environment and I have a secret that is being referenced in a keyvault (see below):
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentParameters.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters": {
    "workspaceName": {
        "value": "myworksapce"
    },
    "QA_password": {
        "reference": {
            "keyVault": {
                "id": "/subscriptions/xxx/resourceGroups/mytest-qa-group/providers/Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/mytest-qa-kv"
            },
            "secretName": "pipeline"
        }
    }
  }
}

However, when I do the deployment I encounter the following error:
{"error":{"code":"AuthenticationFailed","message":"Authentication failed. The 'Authorization' header is missing."}}

Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting my secret in the keyvault and use it in the template?

A: I have tried to reproduce the issue by deploying a keyvault with a secret using Azure portal and used that secret as a password for the VM which will be deployed by using the ARM template.
While creating the keyvault, we should enable the ARM template deployment and also enable the access policies in the Access policy to access the secret from the ARM template and deployed successfully as shown in the below screenshot:

Then created a project in Visual Studio and added the above created keyvault secret by clicking on edit parameters--> add the keyvault and save it, then you will see the keyvault has been referenced successfully as shown in below images:

To confirm whether our keyvault is successfully linked to our template, you can open the windowsVMSSparameters.json file and check the secret name same as created in the keyvault as shown in the below screenshot:
windowsVMSSparameters.json:
{
 "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentParameters.json#",

6.2-magnitude Quake Strikes Off Indonesia's Sulawesi: USGS
A 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck off Indonesia's Sulawesi island Monday, the United States Geological Survey said, but no tsunami warning was issued and there were no immediate reports of damage.
The strong quake hit offshore at a depth of 10 kilometres (six miles), about 100 kilometres west of the town of Luwuk.
Tremors were felt in Palu on Sulawesi, some 200 kilometres from the epicentre, an AFP journalist in the city said.
But Indonesian seismologists said it would not generate a tsunami.
Indonesia experiences frequent quakes due to its position on the Pacific "Ring of Fire", an arc of intense seismic activity where tectonic plates collide that stretches from Japan through Southeast Asia and across the Pacific basin.
In January, more than 100 people were killed and thousands left homeless by a 6.2-magnitude quake that struck Sulawesi, reducing buildings to a tangled mass of twisted metal and chunks of concrete in the seaside city of Mamuju.
In 2018, a 7.5-magnitude quake and a subsequent tsunami in Palu left more than 4,300 people dead or missing.

The Dayton City Paper was a free weekly newspaper distributed throughout the metro Dayton, Ohio region from April 3, 2003 through September 11, 2018.

History
The publication launched on August 26, 1993, under the name The Dayton Voice by the husband and wife team of Jeff Epton and Marrianne McMullen. In the early 2000s, the paper's name was changed to Impact Weekly as a result of legal pressure levied by the nationally known alternative NewsWeekly, The Village Voice which did the same to numerous weekly publications that included the word "Voice" in their names. A handshake agreement amongst many former "Voice" named publications yielded several new, but unrelated "City Paper" publications nationally including Philadelphia, PA, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, MD, and Toledo, OH. On April 3, 2003, Impact Weekly became Dayton City Paper.

An ownership change in January 2009 ushered in an editorial narrowing from its broad "weekly news and culture" format to hyper-local arts, culture, and entertainment coverage. The DCP cherry-picked editorial covering the region's performing and visual arts, cultural diversity, entertainment offerings (occasionally including Cincinnati and Columbus), nightlife, recreation, dining, beer, wine, festivals, and a blend of political debate and opinion. This shift, alongside other changes in 2010, such as moving its street publication day from Wednesdays to Tuesdays, converting its presentation from 50% color/50% black & white to an all-color publication printed on brighter paper stock, and increasing its regional availability footprint by securing at least twenty-five regional Kroger stores along with other key pickup locations such as the Dayton International Airport and the entire University of Dayton campus, the paper increased its readership from under 30,000 weekly readers to over 50,000 by 2017.

Early readership surges quickly helped increase revenue sufficiently for employee-publisher Paul Noah to secure low-interest financing to form a new company, Dayton City Media, that purchased the Dayton City Paper in April 2012. Other growth benefits included a rapid page-count increase from an average of 32 pages per week in 2009 to anywhere from 40 pages to 44 pages starting in 2013. This allowed the publication to expand editorial content and increase critical display advertising (its only revenue source). At one time the paper swelled to 52 pages. The Dayton City Paper's contributor roster climbed to its peak of over thirty freelance writers, as did its distribution pickup location count from approximately 350 to over 500 locations by 2016.

The Dayton City Paper attempted to remain politically neutral in regards to arts and culture while still covering the myriad of lifestyles throughout the region, especially with respect to local and independent music coverage. In addition to over 80% locally written content, the publication featured a roster of syndicated content, including Amy Alkon's "The Advice Goddess", Chuck Shepard's "News of the Weird," Cariel's "Sign Language Astrology", and the New York Times Sunday Crossword, as well as weekly editorial cartoons including Don Asmussen's "Bad Reporter," Donna Barstow's "Daily Special," and political satire by Ted Rall (raised in Kettering, Ohio). Readers especially enjoyed the DCP's weekly locally-driven "debate forum" created by former Impact Weekly publisher Kerry Farley where opposing writers argued in favor or against political and social issues of the day, with an emphasis on local issues. Common debate topics, like presidents, abortion, guns, and God, were typically avoided. The only topics the paper ever took sides on were legalization of same-sex marriage, marijuana legalization, and solidarity with the French publication Charlie Hebdo.

On April 25, 2015, the official website of the Dayton City Paper was hacked by an unknown individual or individuals claiming to be affiliated with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS). The DCP's website homepage instead played foreign music, displayed a picture of a masked man holding an apparent assault rifle, and displayed the message "Hacked by Team System DZ. I am Muslim & I love Jihad. I love ISIS <3." The paper's publisher, Paul Noah, stated in an interview on a local TV station he believed the hacking may have been related to the paper's January 20, 2015 edition where the Dayton City Paper executive team collectively chose to publish an approximation via illustrated parody the cover of the January 14 issue of Charlie Hebdo following the Charlie Hebdo shooting.

The Dayton City Paper published its final issue on September 11, 2018, with the next issue not appearing on the next scheduled publication date of September 18. The next day, it was reported by several of the paper's writers that the paper had ceased publication, and the same day the newspaper's official website transitioned to provide only an archive of the virtual edition versions of past issues.

The next week several local news media sources revealed that one the newspaper's employees, Wanda Esken, whom had been promoted the role of associate publisher and later to Dayton City Paper publisher in September 2017, had been indicted on charges of grand theft and forgery in relation to her activities in the company. In early January 2018 Noah contacted police after being told by the company that printed the Dayton City Paper that Dayton City Media owed about $35,000 in unpaid invoices. Shortly afterward, he learned from the Victoria Theatre Association (the DCP's landlord) that the publication was four months behind on rent as well. The resulting investigation by the City of Dayton Police Department over the next several months became the basis behind the Montgomery County Prosecutor's indictment.

The Dayton City Paper was able to remain afloat for over another half year through Noah's own savings, with no public hint the paper was in trouble other than the decrease in page count to an average of thirty-two to thirty-six pages per week by mid-Spring 2018. However, he was ultimately unable to prevent it from shutting down. He stated that prior to the scandal the paper was thriving, with plans to expand into other markets such as Lexington, Kentucky. After confirming the Dayton Metro Library possessed at least one hard copy of every edition since its 1993 Dayton Voice launch, Noah promised to maintain DaytonCityPaper.com as an online archive of all virtual editions since August 4, 2010 as a courtesy to the paper's writers, advertisers, and readers.

Wanda Esken was arrested on February 4, 2019, based on three Fourth Degree Felony-Grand Theft charges and one Fifth Degree Felony-Forgery charge. Her trial, State of Ohio v. Wanda Esken, was scheduled for late July, 2019 in Montgomery County, Ohio Common Pleas Court in Dayton. In February 2021, she pleaded guilty to "one count of grand theft of more than $7,500 but less than $150,000, a fourth-degree felony, and to one count of forgery, a fifth-degree felony", in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court, according to documents filed on the court's web portal Thursday, February 4. As part of the plea agreement, two additional counts of grand theft were dismissed."
