Packages are simply a graphical grouping of functionality.
They combine multiple Actors and Use Cases that have some comonalities.
Packages can also be called Systems or Subsystems.
Packages do not have to define internal associations between different Use Cases.

Now, depending on how the developer was intending on implementing this in code, one could easily say that sense all the actors 'is a' Person, then they all need to 'Eat Food.' If this food is only the food served at this resteraunt, then perhaps all the actors do not have to 'Eat Food.' A simple Diagram like this has already helped to identify ambiguity in a design!

Screening of 'Against the Law' in Downing Street
06/07/2017 /0 Comments/in Anti-Bullying & Homophobia /by ACOMSDave
The Rt Hon Justine Greening MP
Secretary of State for Education and Minister for Women and Equalities
requests the pleasure of the company of
Cllr Jeffrey Dudgeon MBE
at a screening of Against the Law
at 10 Downing Street
on Tuesday 11th July 2017 at 6.30 pm for 7.00 pm
Against the Law tells the story of Peter Wildeblood and one of the most explosive court cases of the 1950s – the infamous Montagu trial.
Along with the Conservative peer Lord Montagu of Beaulieu and their friend Michael Pitt-Rivers, Wildeblood was imprisoned for homosexual offences after his lover gave evidence against him under pressure from the authorities.
With his career in tatters and his private life painfully exposed, Wildeblood began his sentence a broken man, but he emerged from Wormwood Scrubs a year later determined to do all he could to change the laws against homosexuality.
His high-profile trial led the way to the creation of the Wolfenden Committee on sexual law reform which eventually resulted in the passing of the Sexual Offences Act 1967 – changing the lives of thousands of gay men with its partial decriminalisation of homosexual acts.
This powerful new drama forms part of a season of BBC programmes marking the fiftieth anniversary of that landmark change in the law. Starring Daniel Mays and directed by Fergus O'Brien, it is interspersed with moving testimonies from a chorus of men whose love and lives were against the law.

Cordierite (mineralogy) or iolite (gemology) is a magnesium iron aluminium cyclosilicate. Iron is almost always present and a solid solution exists between Mg-rich cordierite and Fe-rich sekaninaite with a series formula:  to . A high-temperature polymorph exists, indialite, which is isostructural with beryl and has a random distribution of Al in the  rings.

Name and discovery
Cordierite, which was discovered in 1813, in specimens from Níjar, Almería, Spain, is named after the French geologist Louis Cordier (1777–1861).

Occurrence
Cordierite typically occurs in contact or regional metamorphism of pelitic rocks. It is especially common in hornfels produced by contact metamorphism of pelitic rocks. Two common metamorphic mineral assemblages include sillimanite-cordierite-spinel and cordierite-spinel-plagioclase-orthopyroxene. Other associated minerals include garnet (cordierite-garnet-sillimanite gneisses) and anthophyllite. Cordierite also occurs in some granites, pegmatites, and norites in gabbroic magmas. Alteration products include mica, chlorite, and talc. Cordierite occurs, for example, in the granite contact zone at Geevor Tin Mine in Cornwall.

Commercial use
Catalytic converters are commonly made from ceramics containing a large proportion of synthetic cordierite. The manufacturing process deliberately aligns the cordierite crystals to make use of the very low thermal expansion along one axis. This prevents thermal shock cracking from taking place when the catalytic converter is used.

Gem variety

As the transparent variety iolite, it is often used as a gemstone. The name "iolite" comes from the Greek word for violet. Another old name is dichroite, a Greek word meaning "two-colored rock", a reference to cordierite's strong pleochroism. It has also been called "water-sapphire" and "Vikings' Compass" because of its usefulness in determining the direction of the sun on overcast days, the Vikings having used it for this purpose. This works by determining the direction of polarization of the sky overhead. Light scattered by air molecules is polarized, and the direction of the polarization is at right angles to a line to the sun, even when the sun's disk itself is obscured by dense fog or lies just below the horizon.

Gem quality iolite varies in color from sapphire blue to blue violet to yellowish gray to light blue as the light angle changes. Iolite is sometimes used as an inexpensive substitute for sapphire. It is much softer than sapphires and is abundantly found in Australia (Northern Territory), Brazil, Burma, Canada (Yellowknife area of the Northwest Territories), India, Madagascar, Namibia, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and the United States (Connecticut). The largest iolite crystal found weighed more than 24,000 carats (4,800g), and was discovered in Wyoming, US.

Another name for blue iolite is steinheilite, after Fabian Steinheil, the Russian military governor of Finland who observed that it was a different mineral from quartz. Praseolite is another iolite variety which results from heat treatment. It should not be confused with prasiolite.

BONUS Article: What Do You Do When The Colleges Say "NO"?
What's The Least Appreciated And Highly Effective Way To Get Into Your First-Choice College?
How Can You Stand Out In The Admissions Office?
Below are my books which are available on Amazon.
My first book, How To Win The College Game, reveals my many secrets to get into and to afford college. What some consider to be my trademark humor is evident throughout the book as I demonstrate how to benefit from getting around colleges' most deceitful practices.
My second book, Why You're Already A Leader, uses the battle of Gettysburg to prove, with 88 short stories, that leadership is in your DNA. Because leadership is the #1 quality sought by every college, I am the nation's only college consultant who can make your child look like a leader even if s/he is not engaged in a single activity.
My third book, Gettysburg Lessons in the Digital Age, answers one question: "How can I benefit from what this person did at Gettysburg?" The book forces history to teach its most important life-lessons, and each student receives the ebook version for free.
My latest book, Planning For College, says one reviewer, is "endearing and hilarious." It includes the easiest way to look like a leader - a college's most desired trait in an applicant - with hardly any effort.
You're either blown-away by everything, or you can send one email in the next 2 months and get a 100% refund. And, you can even keep the free bonus, College Money Strategy, as my way of saying "thank you" for taking a peek at the Student Brand Strategy.
How does a full year sound? And access to me until graduation. After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for an entire year - across any and all devices you own. But your friends do not. Please pay close attention to the WARNING statements that appear below the videos in the course.
It starts immediately after you sign-up. You're in control for a full year. And don't call to tell me how much you love the course. My phone rings all the time! Actually, if YOU want to call me, I'd love to hear from you.
Why do you really provide these plans?
I want to change the way American history is taught in our schools. Huh? Where did that come from, you ask. Only 12% of high school seniors have a proficiency in American history, which means our national school system is producing history illiterates. That makes learning history a national security issue. Why? If the next generation doesn't know what their country stands FOR, how can it be expected to stand UP to its enemies? I need all the help I can get to give me the time and focus to make the country one that can protect us each to pursue our own version of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. To start, I wrote the book INSPIRATION FOR TEENS. This book, in my view, is the delicious appetizer for the full course, which is the enjoyment and inspiration of America's history. I do this so I can make the money needed to influence the next generation about history and loving it.

Q: "I made my username John95'" vs "I made 'John95' my username" Are these two sentences interchangeable?

*

*I made my username "John95"

*I made "John95" my user name.
Context: Let's say I created an account on ell.stackexchange.com for the first time in my life (so I didn't have a username here before), and I chose "John95" as my username, and I am letting the person listening to me know that.

A: Those are exactly the same in meaning and both are perfectly natural sounding to my native AmE ears

A: There's not much difference, but I prefer the first for a couple of reasons.
Firstly "end weighting" is the tendency to remember the last part that someone says. This means putting the information at the end of the phrase makes sense
Secondly, if you "make X Y" it tends to mean that you changed X into Y. In this case you changed your username into "john95" so the order "I made my username "John95" is preferred.

How Much Does It Cost to Build a House?
There are various ways of knowing how much does it cost to build a house. Experts like engineers and architects have a detailed system of estimating construction costs. But for purposes of quickly seeing building costs, here is a layman's version of how much does it cost to build a house.
Per Square Foot (PSF) Cost
The square per foot cost estimate is the quickest way to see how much house construction would cost. In fact, it's applicable to any kind of construction: house, garage, shed, barn, extra room, extensions, swimming pool, etc., with some adjustments. It's not accurate, but it can offer a good idea of how much does it cost to build a house or anything similar, more or less.
PSF Procedure
PSF costs vary in different localities. So the first thing to do is do a little research. Ask around for house and lot prices of properties sold in the locality where new construction is being considered. Look for properties somewhat similar in size, make, features, and materials as the one being contemplated to be constructed.
Get the total price of the property, subtract the land cost, and divide the difference by the total house floor area. The result is the estimated price per square foot. That's a crude way of knowing how much does it cost to build a house.
Sample Pricing
For instance, the total price of a typical property in a vicinity is $230,000. The average land cost there is $30,000. That makes the house construction cost $200,000. If the ground floor area (the area scope of the house) is 2,000 square feet, and the house construction cost is divided by this number (or 200,000 divided by 2000), the result is 100. This means $100 per square foot answers how much does it cost to build a house in that particular locality, considering a typical size, make, feature, and design. Thus, if the floor area of the house to be constructed is 1,767 square foot, the $100 per square foot factor is still to be used. This gives a $176,700 total.
PSF Gives A Target Cost
PSF can give people an idea of how much it will cost a construction. When they get a PSF cost estimate, they know how much they have to earn to get the construction started and finished. However, PSF estimates should not be made a basis for actual expenses to be made. For this purpose, a detailed cost estimate should be made, which is provided by engineers and architects.
Some people add several amounts to the PSF factor to make a safe calculation. For instance, with the above example, they use $120 or $150 per square foot instead of $100.

I was doing some host upgrades today, and had to migrate some stuff from one place to another. I had to also manually re register templates while doing this. So in order not to lose too much time on finding where are my templates in clusters i wrote myself this tiny line which helps in this situation.
Within VMTX property you will see the datastore name [datastore_name] then the directory in which the vmtx resides, and then the vmtx file name. There is not much i guess to explain in this short line. First i take all vmhosts in specific cluster, then i get list of templates for each host and display its name, vmhost name and the vmpathname.
Very quick note to myself (if i will ever need to use system center orchestrator) and internet ;). I was helping out today one person on #PowerCLI. His scripts that were being fired up in system center orchestrator did not quit properly. We first wrote quite a long workaround 😉 but after an hour i asked that person to disconnect in different way.
And it helped, his scripts no longer exit with errors, and all script sessions are closed after script is finished.

Courtesans Tales coming back to you!
Have you joined my newsletter yet?! Well, if you haven't, you're missing out on free books! All my newsletter subscribers get 3 free books! Right now they are Beauty or the Bitch, Somebody's Lover, and Twisted by Love. They're FREE just for joining my newsletter! You'll hear about new releases, contests, and all the current freebies I'm currently running on all the retailer sites. So join up! Here's where to go (so to speak)!
So now let me tell you all about the Courtesans Tales!
I recently got the rights back from Berkley for the three anthologies in the Courtesans Tales. So I'm bringing them to use with new covers, new blurbs, and putting each story out individually so you can enjoy them one at a time without having to buy 3 all at once! These are sexy stories all based the kinky fantasy some women may have: getting paid for sex (not that we'd ever actually do it!). Now, of course, if you did have that fantasy, you'd want a sexy, handsome, to-die-for guy, right! And all my heroes are to absolutely to die for! Mouthwatering. Not to mention smart, funny, successful, and rich! And make no mistake, these are sensual romances with the requisite HEA, though it might be a little unusual. They're all stand-alone, but they're connected by the elegant, classy agency "Courtesans." Here's a little bit about Courtesans.
A glitzy, sensual world of powerful people and the courtesans they'll pay anything to have.
An exclusive and secret agency, for over two hundred years Courtesans has specialized in providing entertainment of a sexual nature. Its clients are rich, powerful, and influential men and women, and one only meets a courtesan through referral from trusted sources. Courtesans facilitates bringing together men and women to satisfy any sexual need imaginable, matching the perfect courtesan with just the right client. The agency prides itself on training its courtesans, male and female, to interpret and fulfill its client's greatest fantasies, even the secret ones no one dares to say aloud. The price is high, but everyone who's ever had the pleasure of a date with a courtesan will agree, the fantasy is worth every penny. And sometimes it changes your life.
Stories to make you blush…
To start, I've put the first three books up all at once, the rest to follow (9 tales in all) in coming months.
The Girlfriend Experience, Courtesans Tales Book 1
When a friend tells Marianna about life as a courtesan, Marianna wants it. Thrust into a world of powerful men, she holds all the power.
A widower, Chase seeks to ease his pain in insignificant relationships. Until he treats Marianna like his girlfriend rather than a courtesan.
Now Marianna learns that money doesn't buy self-worth. And it's the reason she'll lose the man who is worth everything.
Payback, Courtesans Tales Book 2
When Dominique Lowe's husband of 15 years divorces her for a younger model, she finds the perfect revenge. She becomes a courtesan, to show her husband she's far more woman than he could handle.
High-priced, with even higher standards, when Gabriel Price refuses to pay her worth, he becomes the man she must have.
Now Dominique must learn that power doesn't buy happiness, but love is worth everything.
Triple Play, Courtesans Tales Book 3
Can a three-time loser at marriage (and a courtesan) find love? When Noelle St. James finds Dax Deacon, the answer may very well be yes. If she can survive the sex games that Dax wants to play.
And here's where you can these elegant, classy, kinky, erotic tales:

New Release! Excerpt Love Affair to Remember Chapter One!
A couple of weeks ago, I gave an excerpt of the prologue for Love Affair to Remember, After Office Hours Book 2! To celebrate the books release, let's do an excerpt from Chapter One! Where you'll catch up with Jordana from Desire Actually and learn more about Ivy (who will be starring in Book 3, Pretty in Pink Slip).
If you'll remember from the last blog (you can pop back there to read the prologue if you haven't already), Parker Hunt is interviewing with Gloria King. And there is major history there! And Parker got the job…
So away we go with Chapter One!
Love Affair To Remember
After Office Hours, Book 2
© 2016 Jennifer Skully
"All right, out with it, you're bursting." In Gloria's opinion, Jordana Davis was almost manic.
She often had lunch with Jordana, but this was the first time they'd invited Ivy Elliott. Until recently, Jordana had been the Human Resources admin, but a couple of weeks ago, she was promoted to manager. While still working as Grady Masterson's assistant, Ivy had stepped in to cover some of Jordana's administrative duties.
It had also been close to the same length of time since Gloria's interview with Parker.
He'd gotten the job. And he was starting on Monday. How on earth had the second week of September come around so fast? She would have only the weekend to prepare herself.
She wasn't sure she could deal with him as well as she'd told herself she would.
Jordana lowered her voice, which wasn't necessary since the noise in the Chinese restaurant they'd chosen was amplified by concrete floors and a warehouse ceiling of bare pipes and vents. It was a Thursday workday, the tables were full, the scent of cooking food set off choruses of stomach growls, and the din around them was like a bubble protecting their voices. "This is top secret." Jordana held out her hand. "Pinkie swear you won't tell anyone. An-y-one," she stressed.
"Pinkie swear?" Gloria laughed, looking at Jordana's crooked pinkie. "I haven't done that since I was ten years old." She wasn't even sure modern children knew about pinkie swearing. She was old enough to be Jordana's mother, though she felt more like a big sister, despite the eighteen-year age difference. And despite their coloring. Where Gloria was blond, Jordana had silky brunette hair to be envied.
"My daughter has started pinkie swearing on everything." Ivy groaned. "Like not giving her peas for dinner. Or letting her play with my iPad before she goes to bed."
That answered the question. Pinkie swearing was universal. Gloria didn't know Ivy's exact age. She hadn't spent as much time with her as she had with Jordana. But with Ivy's bobbed dark hair, Gloria figured the woman for midthirties, and of course, she'd seen all the pictures of an adorable, dark-haired little girl decorating Ivy's cubicle. She assumed there wasn't a husband since there was no ring on Ivy's finger and no photos of a man.
Ivy crooked her pinkie through Jordana's. "I'll swear. Now dish."
Gloria laughed and swore, too. "Top secret." She zipped her lips.
It felt good to be with the two of them. Accepted. She hadn't felt that way in ages. She was glad Jordana had added Ivy to their twosome.
Jordana breathed dramatically. "Grady and I are dating."
Gloria almost dropped her Chinese tea cup. Ivy punched the air, exclaiming, "I knew it."
"You did not." Jordana eyed her.
Ivy pointed her finger. "He looked at you. A lot."
"That doesn't mean anything."
"It was the way he looked at you. Like he was having thoughts that weren't even remotely work-related."
Jordana leaned in to whisper, "Do you think Rhonda noticed?"
Ivy flapped her hand. "No. But I saw you both a lot more than she did."
Rhonda was Jordana's boss, and she hadn't been happy at all when Jordana was promoted to manager a few weeks ago. That had been Brett's doing. Although Gloria liked to think she had a hand in backing the whole thing. Which was why she was on Rhonda's hit list, too.
"We're planning to tell both Rhonda and Brett tomorrow."
"Friday. Right. Good idea," Ivy said. "It'll give Rhonda the weekend to cool down."
The weekend. That would change everything. Starting Monday, Gloria would have to see Parker just about every day. In meetings. The Monday staff meeting.
She had to stop thinking about how gorgeous Parker had been in that interview, that if he'd changed, it was only for the better.
Ivy rolled her eyes, heavy on the drama. "I do not want to see what Rhonda's like right after you tell her."
"Well, I wanted you guys to know first." Jordana made a face that mirrored Ivy's drama. "Especially because you're going to have to work with her, Ivy."
"I'm very happy for you," Gloria said. She meant every word.
"Thank you." Jordana squeezed her hand. "That means a lot."
Jordana had been good to her from the first week they'd both started at their new jobs over nine months ago. They were the new girls. Jordana had never looked down on Gloria for being older. They were friends, with no qualifications whatsoever.
Their food arrived, thrown on the table by two of the wait staff carrying plates for at least three other orders.
"I'm worried about Rhonda's backlash." Jordana started them off by spooning out broccoli chicken for herself, and they all passed the different dishes. The mixed aroma of the spices was like perfume.
"I'm not going to lie and say Rhonda will handle it well." Ivy didn't pull any of her punches. "She'll make your life miserable."
Gloria had so many questions. How long had this been going on? And what about Grady's wife? A sharp pain reached under her ribcage. "Why didn't you say anything?"
"I wasn't sure what was happening myself. And you know how you just can't talk about something that you haven't figured out for yourself."
She knew exactly what Jordana meant. Gloria didn't have a lot of friends. She was too career-oriented. And then there was the divorce. She hadn't wanted to hang with women who trashed their exes, and many of the friends she'd had before the divorce were couples, belonging to the two of them. The few friends of her own had drifted away because she couldn't talk about what happened. She couldn't explain. There was just too much guilt.
God, she was getting maudlin. Or maybe it was seeing Parker again after all these years. She'd been thinking too much about him since that interview a couple of weeks ago. Now he was starting on Monday. God. How would she handle it?
She couldn't talk to Jordana. She couldn't admit what had happened between her and Parker. So yes, she knew exactly what Jordana meant. There were some things you had to sort out for yourself before you could talk to anyone else.
"Besides, Grady was married," Ivy added, as if that explained everything.
"His wife left him before anything happened between us." Jordana's tone was defensive. "I would never give a married man the time of day."
Gloria felt that same stab under her ribcage. No, she couldn't tell Jordana what she'd done to ruin her marriage. It didn't matter that it had been only one night, one huge mistake.
"That's my point." Ivy's plate was almost empty, as if she wanted leftovers to take home. "You had to keep it a secret because no one knew his wife had walked out. Even I hadn't figured that out, not until she showed up the other day." She put her hand over her mouth. "God, your face, Jordana. I thought you were going to faint when you saw her."
Jordana pointed at Ivy, her smile wide. "See, that's why I invited Ivy. I don't have to explain anything. She says it all for me."
Not really. Gloria was still confused. "Tell all, girlfriend." It felt good to use that word, to be with friends. She needed friends, even if she couldn't tell them anything about herself, about her past, about her mistakes. "I'm not getting the clear picture."
So Jordana gave them the blow by blow of what had happened, though Gloria had a feeling there were quite a few explicit details left out.
"It was like a bat to the head. I didn't see it coming." Jordana blushed, smiled, at first a small one, until it stretched across her face. "But I totally fell in love with him." She snapped her fingers. "Just like that."
Ivy high-fived her. "He's a good guy." Then she widened her eyes and pursed her lips. "And let me tell you I know about the bad ones. You're really lucky."
Everyone had a story, and Ivy's didn't sound like it had a happy ending.
"I agree. Grady's one of the good guys." Gloria remembered how falling for someone could be exactly like a bat to the head. All those emotions tumbling around inside, the ones you pretended weren't there, until suddenly you were completely overwhelmed.
She'd done everything she could to make up for the terrible mistake. It hadn't worked.
Honestly, she didn't dwell on the past or think incessantly about that night. She didn't go over and over her regrets and her mistakes. But seeing Parker Hunt's name on that interview list had pried the lid off all her guilt, all her emotions, turning them raw again.
Jordana's happiness over having found Grady made her feel every single minute of the five lonely years since her divorce. And before that, too. From the moment she'd made that monumental mistake with Parker. She'd had a comfortable happiness once upon a time, no strife, no emotional upheavals. Then she ruined it with one night of passion. She didn't deserve a second chance. In fact, since the divorce, she'd buried any hints of passion deep inside herself.
"You okay, Gloria?" Jordana pushed a plate of steamed vegetables at her.
"I'm great." She wouldn't dampen the atmosphere. They were here to celebrate. "I'm happy for you. This is wonderful."
"Yeah, well, we'll see after my meeting with Rhonda," Jordana said with just the right amount of snark.
"You want to get a drink after work in case you need to talk?" Gloria included Ivy in the invitation as well.
"I would," Jordana said. "But I'm having dinner with Grady. We need to compare notes and see if we both still have jobs."
"Don't let Rhonda bulldoze you," Gloria warned. "You're not doing anything wrong." Rhonda was like a piece of heavy machinery chewing up everything in its path. "You're being above board by telling them. You don't report to Grady. You're not in his chain of command in any way."
"Rhonda will find something. Like I'll give him a raise or a bonus when she's not looking."
"You can remind her that I send all the updates to payroll now." Ivy's dark eyes were bright, as if she were sitting ringside for an electrifying fight.
"Brett knows how many checks and balances we have for payroll." Not to mention the fact that Gloria herself reviewed expenses for any huge anomalies.
Jordana punched out her fists at both of them. "I knew there was a reason I had to tell you two. You make me feel better already."
"You're seriously worried about Rhonda?"
Maybe Jordana was. Just a few weeks ago, Gloria had encouraged Jordana to ask for an office instead of a cubicle, which she needed with all the confidential data she handled. Jordana had gotten the office and the promotion. Which pissed Rhonda off. So yes, there was a possibility of backlash.
But Jordana totally surprised her. "I don't want anyone to think Grady and I were having an affair."
Gloria's heart gave a big whomp and flopped down to her stomach. "No one's going to think that." But of course they would.
She'd worried about the same thing after her one night with Parker. It kept her awake at nights. It was why she'd left Sunderland. Everything Jordana said made her more acutely aware of her guilt.
Ivy, even if she was probably over ten years younger than Gloria, said the wise thing. "As long as Brett doesn't think you're violating any company policies, why do you care what everyone else says?" She smiled softly at Jordana, as if she had wishes no one ever granted. "Are you happy?"
"Hell, yes." Jordana's face was all shining light and joy.
Gloria didn't have a clue why she hadn't seen it before. She and Jordana had lunch right after that interview with Parker, and she hadn't noticed a thing. She'd been too preoccupied with her own stuff. Wallowing.
Dammit, she was going to share in the joy. What happened with Parker was five years and nine months behind her. Her divorce was five years in the past, too. This was now. She might not deserve the happiness that Jordana had found, but she wasn't going to drag herself down. She especially wouldn't drag her friends with her.
Holding up her water glass, she said, "A toast. To you and Grady."
"And to Rhonda not becoming a raving monster." Ivy clinked her glass.
"To everyone being as happy for you guys as we are. Raise your glass," Gloria ordered.
Jordana did. "Yeah. To us." She leaned in. "God, I'm so crazy about him."
Gloria couldn't remember how that felt. She only remembered being crazy.

Excerpt! Love Affair to Remember Prologue!
Coming to you on October 12, Love Affair to Remember, After Office Hours Book 2! Thanks to Rae Monet for this fabulous cover. I LOVE it!
When I was writing Desire Actually, Book 1 in the After Office Hours series, I got hooked on Gloria King's character. If you'll recall, she was the CFO. I love a lot of things about her: She's confident and secure, she's made it in a man's world, and she's a mature woman. I love writing about strong, mature women. Gloria's just about to turn 48, and she's still elegant and sexy in addition to being smart. And Gloria has a secret by the name of Parker Hunt. Hmm, I was dying to know exactly what went on between these two in the past… And how would that affect their future? So I just had to write Love Affair to Remember. Here's a blurb to give you a hint of what happened!
What if one night ruined your whole life?
In one sizzling night of forbidden passion, Gloria King set fire to her comfortable life and watched it be consumed in the conflagration. The man who lit the match—Parker Hunt.
And now Parker is back.
More than five years have passed since Parker has seen Gloria, but the passion between them is undeniable. And he'll do anything to have a new chance to get it right, if only he can convince Gloria to trust her heart.
Gloria has pieced her life back together after their forbidden night. But Parker is still the only man in the world with whom Gloria can never look for happiness, no matter how badly she might want it. If only she could resist his magnetism, forget the delicious taste of his kiss and the sweetness of his caress…
Can a single night of passion born in shame become a lifetime of love?
Anything can happen After Office Hours…
Hmm, so what do you think happened!!?? As an excerpt, I'm going to give you a taste of the prologue from Love Affair to Remember. In Desire Actually, Gloria and Jordana discuss Gloria's interview with Parker Hunt, who is applying for the position of Marketing VP. So here, you get to see exactly what went on in that interview!
He was gorgeous. As perfect as the day they'd first met, as the day she'd last seen him. As gorgeous as he was that night.
His hair had been all dark then, but the few strands of gray now peppered through the earthy brown made him seasoned, more desirable, even mouthwatering. But it was his eyes she remembered the most, a penetrating sapphire as deep as the ocean seen through a cloudless sky from a plane thirty thousand feet high. Looking in them had sometimes made her dizzy. Beneath the black suit, white dress shirt, and red tie, he still wore the same toned body, without an ounce of fat gained in the more than five years since they'd worked together.
Since she'd made that one terrible mistake and her life had changed utterly.
With only the width of her desk separating them, Parker Hunt was too much. Too handsome, too sexy. Too much history, too many memories. Just too everything.
"Gloria King." He said it as if he was finally getting over the shock of seeing her on his interview agenda. "It's been a long time." His whisky-smooth voice was as potent as ever.
How on earth had she thought she could handle working with him again? But the company had moved too far along the interview chain to put a stop to it. Besides, they were both different people now. She was different. Scarred by her own guilt and by everything she'd lost. She would never allow anything like that to happen again. Not with anyone. Especially not with Parker Hunt.
Even if she hadn't dated anyone in the five years since her divorce.
Even if she'd never forgotten Parker.
"I was very glad to see you on the interview list." Gloria pushed back slightly from her desk, crossing her legs. She hadn't dressed specifically for him. Three other interviews had been scheduled for the day. But Parker looked at her, and her feminine side was happy that she'd changed five times this morning and finally settled on a less businesslike skirt and blouse.
With another man, the appreciative look would have been a warning sign. You didn't hire an executive who ogled a woman right there in her office. But Parker wasn't just any executive. She might have ruined her life over him, but if he hadn't given her a second glance, her forty-seven-year-old heart—forty-eight in October, only a few weeks away—would have stopped beating.
She put them cleanly on the business level by saying, "I've read through your resume." Not that she'd needed to look at it. Parker would make a top-notch VP of Marketing. He worked outside the box, not just with new releases but in searching out alternate applications for current products. He would be an asset. "But I'd rather hear straight from you what you've been doing since you left Sunderland."
Sunderland was the company they'd both worked for. Until Gloria couldn't work there anymore. When she could no longer see Parker day in and day out without the crushing weight of her guilt. And the fear that she'd succumb to her own selfish passions again.
He smiled his too-gorgeous smile. "I didn't move around much after Sunderland. Same company for the past five years."
There was so much she wanted to ask him, especially about his bare ring finger and its lack of telltale tan line, indicating he hadn't worn a wedding ring in quite some time. But she wouldn't ask what had happened. Couldn't. She noticed he hadn't even looked at her hand.
"So why did you leave your last job?" She waggled her fingers at the resume on her desk. "Besides wanting to explore your opportunities." Which was a meaningless artifact everyone added to their details so they didn't have to say they'd been fired or hated their boss or they were bored out of their minds. With Parker, she assumed it was none of those reasons.
Putting his elbows on the arms of his chair, he steepled his fingers. "Do you want something Brett Baker will find palatable? Or the truth?"
Brett Baker was their CEO. The Silicon Valley startup was relatively large in employee headcount, considering that they wouldn't begin shipping the final product for three and a half months, at the beginning of the new year. Their funding was decent, though Brett was always reviewing options. His greatest strengths were his integrity and his fair-mindedness. But he didn't take anyone's crap either.
"The truth would be good. And I know full well you'll give Brett the same answer."
He grinned. "With a little varnish."
"All right, give me the totally unvarnished version." She settled back, the sun falling on her head. She hadn't closed the blinds and the office was small. None of the executives had sumptuous digs with massive furniture and plush décor. Her conference table supported four at most, and she'd borrowed a chair from that grouping for Parker. You were provided a space large enough to fit your needs, but they hadn't skimped on the hardware. Her computer was state-of-the-art, her desk equipped with an ergonomic keyboard and her chair providing proper support.
It was nothing like Sunderland, but there she'd been only a controller and Parker was a marketing director. They'd both moved up in the ensuing years. Until their universes once again converged. It could be a cataclysm worse than the collision that wiped out the dinosaurs.
"Unvarnished it is." His gaze tracked her face, from her eyes to her mouth, turning the word into something sexual with just a look.
Or maybe she was turning everything sexual because she was starved for male attention.
"Brett knows," Parker went on, "that I didn't see eye to eye with my former CEO."
"And he didn't think it was a warning sign?"
Parker splayed his hands in the air. "He appreciated the honesty. But in the unvarnished version, the guy was a dickhead."
Her lips curled in a slight smile. Parker answered it just as slightly. They'd both known their share of dickheads at Sunderland, and they'd both had a tolerance for them. You couldn't walk out every time you encountered a difficult boss or coworker or employee, or you'd never keep a job. "You were there for almost five years. So what changed?"
"Profits changed. Or should I say losses. About nine months ago, orders started falling off. People want product improvement, new bells and whistles, and we weren't keeping up anymore."
Nine months. Just when Gloria was changing jobs. Why did that seem like a portent for this moment, as if they'd been walking a path destined to bring them together again?
He shrugged, shook his head with feigned sadness. "I worked as well as I could with him. But you have to spend money to make money. And the product suffered even more. Until the quarter was so bad, he wanted me to pull orders in from the following month to make the numbers look better."
"Robbing Peter to pay Paul. It's happened before." She'd been known to call customers to ask if they'd be willing to take an early shipment.
"Yeah," he said on a sharp breath. "But the product was still in QC and wouldn't make it out the door till the following week. He just wanted me to authorize my customer service group to do the invoicing."
There was negligence, and then there was downright fraud. You just couldn't bill for stuff you hadn't shipped. "What did your CFO say?"
Parker blew out a disgusted pfft of air. "He was a yes man. Since the shipments were completed, even though not tested, he was okay with it."
"Well, gee," she said, dousing the words with sarcasm. "Why don't we just invoice for everything that's in the warehouse since it's completed and will eventually ship on an order?"
He smiled with her. God, that smile. It turned her heart inside out just as it always had. She had to stop looking at him. "I refused to have my customer service people involved," he said. "Told the bosses that if they wanted it, then Accounting would have to do the invoicing. They backed down but the writing was on the wall."
She understood perfectly. "Why'd you leave Sunderland, though?" He'd enjoyed the job, and there was a good possibility he'd have made it to the executive staff in a short time.
The silence was as screeching as nails on a chalkboard. And the look he gave her scorched. "I left fairly soon after you did."
She wouldn't touch that one with a silicon oven mitt that handled up to five-hundred-degree temperatures. She'd cut all her ties with that job. She hadn't returned friends' calls. She'd pulled her blinds down over everything that had to do with Sunderland.
It hadn't worked. She'd still ended up divorced. Alone. And guilty.
"Well," she said with ridiculous brightness. "What can I tell you about us? You'd be a great fit. I know you'll bring dynamic ideas to the mix. There's a lot of opportunity here. And Brett's a good man. You won't get any of those invoicing shenanigans under his watch." She sounded like a cheerleader on speed.
Parker didn't seem to notice. Or he was too polite to mention it. "How's your executive team? The unvarnished version."
"Unvarnished," she said softly, thinking about Rhonda Clark, VP of Human Resources. "What did you think of Rhonda?"
He smiled without curving his lips. "Is that a subliminal message?"
For a very short time, they talked without saying anything, with just a look. Gloria had always felt that if nothing was acknowledged, if it was never said aloud, you had the thing totally in hand.
Maybe that's why her emotions had burned out of control so quickly. In that one single night.
And why everything had gone so wrong afterward. Because, while she thought she had control, she was kidding herself.
"Due to our…" She didn't want to use the word past, or even history, because of everything it implied. What was the right word? She left the sentence hanging, which might have been even worse. "She can be annoying. Everyone else is cooperative, a team player, and all that business."
"Rah-rah," he said, and they both laughed.
He could always make her laugh. She'd noticed him the first time—had really seen him—because he made her laugh. But she didn't want to think about any of that.
"The most important thing is that you'll never be pushed into unethical practices. And Rhonda is manageable." She shouldn't say it, but it was the unvarnished truth. "You'll charm her into agreeing with you on just about anything."
He settled deeper into his chair, regarding her with an understated grin she'd call cheeky. "Thank you for that vote of confidence. I appreciate the good word you've put in with Brett."
"I didn't put in a good word. I haven't even told him we worked together."
He regarded her for a long moment, emotion in his eyes that she couldn't decipher. "Why?"
"I didn't want to influence the selection process." She hadn't been able to decide how much to say. In truth, she hadn't known how she'd react to Parker after all these years. And now she'd reacted the same as she had the first time. And the last time. The difference was more than five years in between, and the fact that she wasn't the same woman anymore. "I'll tell him after this. And that you'll be a good fit. There's nothing else really to say."
"Nothing that has any bearing on how well you do your job."
His facial expression shifted, eyes slightly narrowed, a line across his brow. "Can you work with me again, Gloria?"
This was her out. The moment he'd entered her office, she'd wondered if she could handle seeing him day after day. But she wasn't the same person she'd been. She was stronger because she'd paid for her mistakes. She wouldn't let her emotions get the better of her. Not this time. Not ever again.
"Of course I can work with you, Parker. We've both moved on from Sunderland. We're different people." She smiled and rose to her feet. He joined her, and she held out her hand. "I'll put my vote in for you. You're the most qualified."
But when he took her hand in his, the shake lasted far longer than formally necessary. With his touch, the ghost of the woman she'd been unfurled inside her, whispering that her emotions weren't as dead as she wanted them to be.
He wasn't worried about getting the job. His resume was solid, his qualifications impeccable, and just as Gloria had said, he was a good fit.
Everything had fallen into place. He'd found himself on the wrong side of an internal power struggle, and before he'd even updated his resume, he'd learned about this opportunity.
Silicon Valley was a small world with a big grapevine. You heard who went where, when they did it, and why, and he knew the paths Gloria had traveled. He'd learned about her promotion. He'd even heard about her divorce. And he knew her name would be on that agenda before the HR Manager, Jordan Davis, had even handed it to him.
He just hadn't expected the impact the sight of her would have on him. Her beauty hit with a visceral reminder of everything they'd done, everything he'd felt. Back then, it had been a huge error in judgment. If he could change that, he would. But that was then.
And this was now. Everything was different. Their rings were gone, their debts paid after more than five hard years, and the past was simply that, past. If there were new lines around her eyes, he didn't see them. She was as luscious as she'd been back then. A couple of years older than him, she hadn't suffered the fate of physics that many people did as they entered their late forties.
He'd told only one lie throughout the whole interview process.
Because he hadn't come here for the new job. He hadn't come to get away from an unethical situation. He hadn't come for the pre-IPO stock options.
He'd come for Gloria.

How can I get rid of Contribute 8.x-5.0-beta3 module?
What's wrong with Contribute 8.x-5.0-beta3 module?
After 8.6.10 update I have a problem with Contribute module. First it's marked as outdated/not supported but on some sites I can not remove it fully as it lefts something in the db.
"The following module is missing from the file system: block_user bootstrap.inc:276"
It's a composer managed install.
Always you have to first uninstall the module, then remove the codebase from filesystem.
Composer have nothing to do with installing or uninstalling of modules in drupal. Composer is responsible for downloading the needed files, or removing if not longer in use.
If you first remove the files from the filesystem, you cannot uninstall it properly, because drupal not knows what to do. Therefore you see such errors about missing things.
Go one step back & put missing files back to filesystem.
If you use git, checkout your last composer.lock before this error, than type composer install to get the old module files back.
Or use your backup or your ftp-program to bring the module files back.
Now you can uninstall the module as you like, perhaps using the gui or with drush (typing drush pmu modulename). This step is important, because it removes all things installed by this module. If you skip this, you will get such errors.
Drupal 8.6.11 update solved the problem. After the update the Contribute module was removed as it should be.

"During his term, he has rendered outstanding service which paved the way to a stronger relationship between Davao City and Indonesian built on mutual brotherhood and friendship," she said.

However, there was a lot of sauce left over.

This world is going insane. So if a white man had been murdered by a black or white or whatever race policeman, his life wouldn't matter? ALL lives matter regardless of race, period! Come on people, pull your heads out of you posteriors and use your brains instead of emotions to guide your thinking, reasoning, and beliefs. Why are people being persecuted for all these things? Why are people losing their jobs for having an opinion. Intolerance and stupidity, that's why. Don't all the people who are persecuting others realize that they themselves are showing intolerance for the freedoms our constitution gave all Americans? Supposedly in America there is freedom of speech, yet there is NO freedom of speech without percussion. Oh, wait, there IS freedom of speech IF what you say is politically correct. Is that REALLY freedom of speech? I could go on but you get my meaning.

Woman Who Fled to Syria and Married ISIS Fighters Says US Should Sentence Her to Therapy if She Returns
February 20, 2019US
Hoda Muthana, now 24, in a 2012 yearbook picture. (Hoover High School)
A woman who traveled to Syria from Alabama when she was 19 years old and ended up marrying three different ISIS fighters claimed that she should not be sentenced to jail time if she were to re-enter the United States.
Hoda Muthana left the country in 2014 to join ISIS, the Islamist terrorist group.
She later called for Muslims who live in the United States to launch terror attacks. In one missive posted on Twitter in 2015, she wrote: "Go on drive-bys and spill all of their blood, or rent a big truck and drive all over them. Veterans, Patriot, Memorial etc Day parades..go on drive by's + spill all of their blood or rent a big truck n drive all over them. Kill them."
Muthana married an Australian jihadi extremist who died in battle before marrying a Tunisian ISIS terrorist who also died in battle. It's not clear if her third husband, a Syrian jihadi, is still alive.
Tonight on @ABCWorldNews, Hoda Mothana, the American young woman who went to join ISIS, gives her first TV interview since fleeing the so called Islamic State a month ago

— James Longman (@JamesAALongman) February 19, 2019
Muthana, now 24, said recently that she made a mistake by leaving the United States to go to Syria and thinks she should be let back into the country despite her membership in the global terror group.
In her latest interview, Muthana told ABC: "I'm a normal human being who has been manipulated."
Muthana said that she has given up the extremist ideology perpetrated by ISIS and other radical Muslims and wants to return home to her family.
"I hope America doesn't think I am a threat to them and I hope they accept me … I hope they excuse me because of how young and ignorant I was," she said. "I can tell them that now I have changed, now I am a mother, I have none of the ideology and hopefully everyone will see it when I get back."
When asked what she thinks is an appropriate measure of punishment for joining ISIS and calling for terror attacks on American soil, Muthana said, "Maybe therapy lessons."
She said that whatever happens, she should not go to jail though she expects she will be sentenced to prison.
"Jail time, I don't know if that has an effect on people. I need help mentally as well, I don't have the ideology any more but I am just traumatized by my experience," she said. "I know that when I do get back I probably will be sentenced to jail for I don't know how much time."
Muthana claimed that the reason she left her family to go to ISIS was to live a more "Americanized life."
"I had a good relationship with my family but I wanted a more Americanized life. I just wanted to go out, I wanted to have, like, friends, go to places. I didn't get any of that," she said. "The only way out for me was to … become more religious."

ISIS attempts to spread an extreme mixture of religion and government that includes roving patrols that punish people, usually women, who don't follow strict rules on when they can go out, with whom they can be seen with, and what they wear.
The United States government hasn't decided on whether to allow Muthana to re-enter the country.
"I would say that the situation of American citizens or possible American citizens in Syria is by definition extremely complicated, and we're looking into these cases to better understand the details," said State Department spokesman Robert Palladino in a press briefing on Feb. 19.
He said that in situations in which American citizens or alleged citizens are part of ISIS but want to re-enter America, "our policy in this regard would be to repatriate them," but stressed he wasn't commenting on any specific cases.
"We've been clear on this and we've spoken on this publicly recently. Repatriating these foreign terrorist fighters to their countries of origin, ensuring that they are prosecuted and detained—that's the best solution to preventing them from returning to the battlefield," he added. "We view these fighters as a global threat and we seek global cooperation to resolve that threat."
A previous version of this article stated that Muthana was an American citizen. NTD regrets the error.

Absolution ist das dritte Studioalbum der britischen Rockband Muse. Es wurde mit Produzent Rich Costey in einem Studio in Irland eingespielt und im September 2003 veröffentlicht. Mit diesem Album erreichte die Band erstmals auch die Charts in den Vereinigten Staaten.

Im Gegensatz zu den vorherigen Alben hatte die Band bei den Aufnahmen zu Absolution keinen festen Zeitplan und konnten sich daher so viel Zeit lassen, wie sie brauchten, um die Songs nochmal zu verändern und zu verbessern.

Bei Apocalypse Please wurden beispielsweise Streicher eingespielt, aber nie verwendet, sondern eher auf Gitarren und Klavier gesetzt, um den Song "härter" zu machen.

Als erste Single war Stockholm Syndrome ausschließlich als Download auf der offiziellen Muse-Website erhältlich. Die erste regulär erschienene Single war Time Is Running Out. Des Weiteren wurden die Songs Hysteria, Sing For Absolution und Butterflies & Hurricanes als Singles veröffentlicht.

Alle Songs wurden eigens von den drei Muse-Mitgliedern Matthew Bellamy, Dominic Howard und Christopher Wolstenholme verfasst.

Tracklist
 "Intro" – 0:22
 "Apocalypse Please" – 4:12
 "Time Is Running Out" – 3:56
 "Sing for Absolution" – 4:54
 "Stockholm Syndrome" – 4:58
 "Falling Away with You" – 4:40
 "Interlude" – 0:37
 "Hysteria" – 3:47
 "Blackout" – 4:22
 "Butterflies and Hurricanes" – 5:01
 "The Small Print" – 3:28
 "Fury" (Bonustrack auf der japanischen Veröffentlichung) – 4:58
 "Endlessly" – 3:49
 "Thoughts of a Dying Atheist" – 3:11
 "Ruled by Secrecy" – 4:54

I use brewStack for my local php development environment. I had to do the following to get it working again after upgrading to OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
While MongoDB can be managed well from the command line, it is often nice to have a GUI app to get an overview of a collection, server status, or to easily interact with other OS X apps.
In follow up to a previous blog post, "Setup postfix to relay local mail in OS X Mountain Lion", I used this stack exchange post to keep postfix running between launches.
For some reason, I never had an issue with postfix working between startups in Mountain Lion, but have ever since I upgraded to Mavericks.

If you look around the office right now, you'll probably see lots of paper lying around - invoices, notes, etc. Paper can slow things down. It can take minutes to locate a file from a filing cabinet, unless someone else has the file. It's easier to find information paperless.
Sometimes it's nice to have a paper copy of something for reference, but by going paperless you can help the environment while saving time.
Symantec revealed that 49% of respondents think that information is 49% of the organization's value. How much of your organization is placed in a hard to find, share and use paper documents?
A PricewaterhouseCoopers study revealed that 7.5% of documents are lost and another 3.5% are misfiled. In the span of a year, 1 out of 10 paper documents go missing and have to be recreated. Plus, if you need to comply with any regulations, those documents that go missing can be a compliance issue as well.
2/3 of companies who are adopting paper free processes say they see a payback within 18 months. 50% are able to see a payback in less than 1 year.
Respondents felt that taking paper out of the process would be able to improve the productivity of process staff by about 30%. For those who understand document management and capture technology, the number rose approx. 5%.
Customer service would be able to improve. Removing paper would improve response speed to customers, staff, etc. by a factor of 4.
Document management and capture tools can help digitize documents. This places them in a secure, easy to access place. So, instead of rummaging through filing cabinets, your computer, or email for the latest version, you can find the information you need to access faster.
Think before printing - do you really need to print it?
Feel free to use the section below to list other ways you use to limit paper usage. We hope that this blog post has helped you see the benefits of going paperless.

Heya Alex :-) Welcome on the forums! Did you have any luck in setting up the build environment for FIFE / PARPG on your system?
No..I have not yet make the building environment of PARPG or FIFE ...i wanna got the SVN path or some useful informations ..But i did not find it..So i'm searching for it..I wonder a way that i can got the sourceCode..
Do you develope under Linux or Win32?
I make it in Linux .
Did you succeed in building FIFE on your system and getting PARPG to run?
This said: I've stopped advertizing the C++ programmer position at sourceforge. Right now we're much more in need of skilled Python programmers to push the game forward. C++ programmers would end up working on FIFE and/or PARPG tools anyway and taking into account that especially the C++ engine programming job would require a lot of experience in the field, we should rather focus on attracting Python programmers.
You're of course free to pick up Python to contribute PARPG as right now there aren't any tasks for C++ only programmers.
