OVERWHELMING CIRCUMSTANTIAL evidence from Star Trek: The Next Generation that Brent Spiner & Gail Chord Schuler had/have a relationship (1990 – 2018).
Here is a short story I wrote in 2000, which I submitted to the Writer's Digest Writing Competition, and which, of course, did not place, because the Jesuits blocked that. I titled it Emerald Towers. It took me five months to write it.
I will never give up on Brent. God gave me a song, which played on the random mode on my CD player right after I came back from the funeral of a little girl who died from cancer. God told me that the suffering Brent and I endured for our love was as great as the pain of that little girl who died from brain cancer. He promised me in 1992, that there is a place for us (me and Brent), a time for us (me and Brent). Then Jesus Christ personally showed up in 2012 to tell me that indeed, it was He, who gave me that promise in 1992, and that he also would officiate my wedding to Brent Spiner in the millennium. Here is the song and the exact rendition of it that I heard:
BE SURE TO WATCH MY VIDEOS FROM THE BEGINNING, SOMETIMES THEY OPEN UP IN THE MIDDLE!
I started writing Brent at Paramount Studios in 1989. I wrote him about once a month, until the time he called me in 1991. After I knew Brent called me and made love to me on the phone, I wrote him every day from ~ June 26, 1991 to ~ Nov./Dec. 1993 (when my husband threatened to divorce me if I wrote Brent). When Loree McBride and the Jesuits at Paramount sent me a letter forbidding me to write Paramount, Brent got a wiretap on my phone and I talked to him on the phone almost every day, by dialing my own number, getting a blank, and talking to Brent via the blank on my phone. We had a phone communication from Jan. 1994 to ~ May 2001. I did most of the talking and Brent was a great listener. Most of these letters to Brent have been thrown out. All letters I wrote him after I recognized his voice to me on the phone (June 1991 to December 1993), I did not keep copies of, due to a very jealous husband who threatened to divorce me if I wrote Brent. I composed them on the computer and printed them, but did not save them to files, since my husband would be able to retrieve the files, even if I deleted them.
If you click on the images below, they will open up to another page.
I received this at my Miami, Florida address on Sept. 11, 1989. After watching the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Pen Pals" in August 1989 on CBS in Miami, Florida (it was a rerun of a previously aired episode) I had this desire to write the actor Brent Spiner, because I saw in his performance a greatness of heart and soul that I admired. I admired the courage and integrity Data showed as a man who was willing to go against the social justice warriors, to do what was the right thing to do, to honor his conscience above respectability. I watched it with rabbit ears. We did not have cable in Miami. The "Pen Pals" recording below I did after we moved to Seattle in May 1991, and I caught it during Star Trek: The Next Generation reruns and videotaped it. I talked my husband into getting us cable when we lived in Seattle, cuz that seemed the only way to get most television stations in Seattle and secretly I wanted cable cuz Star Trek: The Next Generation aired from Tacoma and we did not get good reception of KCPQ where I lived in Seattle (Lynnwood). So cuz I had cable I could set up my timer to record every Star Trek: The Next Generation episode. Even though I didn't start watching Star Trek: The Next Generation until its second season (1989-90), I eventually saw every Star Trek: The Next Generation episode through reruns on KCPQ in Seattle. My husband was often out to sea and though he banned Star Trek in our house as a demonic New Age show, I watched it in secret when he wasn't around.
I would tape the episodes and decide if I wanted to keep it to add to my collection. I wasn't too impressed with most episodes after the third season, so most of what I have is from the second, third and fourth seasons. I confess that I am not a Star Trek fan and the ONLY Star Trek I have liked is Star Trek: The Next Generation, which I feel had the best writing of any Star Trek series. I haven't seen one episode of any Star Trek series after Star Trek: The Next Generation. I sensed that Jesuits infiltrated Star Trek after Brent fell in love with me and they ruined Star Trek after that.
The two posts below are from screenshots of Jesuit websites.
I always saw Brent as Brent Spiner and not as Data when I wrote him letters and with my genius emotional I.Q. I pegged him right from the start. That may explain why he fell in love with me after reading my letters. Because he worked for Star Trek, I offered free critiques of all their episodes, which I told Brent he could pass onto the Star Trek writers. I did not like Brannon Braga's writings. I could tell he wrote some episodes to poke fun at me and they were quite derogatory about me. I also thought he was a horrible writer and only made it cuz he had Jesuit connections. I especially hated "Phantasms" which featured Brent prominently, but had a character that I could tell was patterned after me in Ensign Tyler who had a crush on LaForge and was portrayed like a Star Trek fan who had an obsessive crush on LaForge. Cuz I became a writer to honor Brent and I felt I was a better writer than Brannon Braga, especially after seeing this sorry episode by Brannon. Brannon knew that any episode that featured a lot of Brent, I'd watch, and he made sure to insult me in this one. Brannon had phone rings a lot in this episode (inferring how I always picked up the phone when Brent called me). When this episode aired, Brent had wiretapped my phone (Jan. 1994) and Brannon was trying to make our phone relationship seem unhealthy. Brent often called me (at least once a week) and had his co-stars fake as someone else, but I recognized their voices. Though Brent called me, he never spoke to me anymore after 1993. He often used his friends to pose as someone else and I got a lot of "wrong numbers". Brent and I had to be careful, cuz my husband was very jealous. When I saw "Phantasms" I realized that Brent and I had enemies at Paramount and that Brannon Braga was one of them. I always saw my relationship with Brent as awesome and Brannon tried to make it appear sick. I despised Brannon Braga after I saw this episode. Not so much for his insults on me, but for just being a sorry human being. Cuz I saw him as a shallow man who could never understand that my love for Brent and his for me belonged to the heavens. I felt our love was so far above this cruddy Brannon Braga, that he treated it like dirt, cuz he was evil like Satan, and like how Satan hated the awesome Jesus, Brannon was a dirt bag. The episode convinced me that Brannon Braga was deep into the occult and an evil man and opposed me cuz I was a born again Christian. I felt like the love between Brent and I was so awesome that Brent and I should be examples for the world to follow. His portrayal of my Brent made Brent seem like a vulgar person. Ironically, Brannon's portrayal of Data reminds me of the vulgar Brent Spiner clone (who was probably secretly in existence at this time). Our love was so awesome, that the ugly, greedy people of the world, who could never understand love, found it a threat, cuz we would not lower ourselves to their level to accommodate evil people. I told Brent that I thought Brannon Braga was a sorry writer and only made it cuz he had connections and that he seemed jealous of me as a writer and a very petty person. I don't think Brent liked "Phantasms" either. He knew that Brannon wrote it to insult our relationship. The episode had a lot of images that seemed to insult my relationship with Brent at the time. At this point in my relationship with Brent, we communicated solely through the telephone. I feature "Phantasms" on this page as CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE that Brent and I had a relationship, cuz it obviously interested Brannon Braga enough to write an episode to insult our relationship. The parallels between images and characters in "Phantasms" and my relationship with Brent at the time are too many to just be mere coincidence.
UPDATE: I have noticed there is a scene where Brannon Braga put Spot into the scene and Data had to give Spot to Worf cuz he was scared he might injure Spot when he loses control of his mind. Eerily similar to what really happened to Brent, Spot and Loree McBride in Sept. 1992.
I know that Brent worked in Threshold in 2005/2006. But that was many years later and perhaps at that time Brannon (Threshold producer) lost interest in me, cuz from Sept. 26, 2001 to Feb. 2006 I was obsessed with Vladimir Putin. It's interesting that Threshold got cancelled in the same month when I reinstated Brent as my primary brain to brain lover in Feb. 2006. LOTS OF CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE HERE.
Right before my divorce in 2001, I mailed to my mother the videocassettes of my favorite Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes that I had taped off of KCPQ Tacoma WA, cuz I feared my husband would destroy them to spite me during the divorce proceedings.
WHY I FELL FOR BRENT SPINER IN "PEN PALS"
I had a pen friendship with Melody Rondeau, who gave me lots of behind-the-scenes information about Brent Spiner at the time. I subscribed to her newsletter called "Data Entries" at the time. Melody and I developed a bond because we were both Christians.
At the same time, I developed a bit of a pen friendship with Richard Arnold, who worked at the same studio where Brent worked. I recalled thinking how humble and down to earth this man seemed and I was tickled that he was willing to write me letters. I have lost what I wrote to him. I think my husband was too jealous, so I did not keep it.
Melody was a very nice lady, and she actually published my first piece of writing, the teleplay "Lal" I wrote for Brent in 1993 & 1994.
The pamphlet Melody was referring to, was a gospel tract I left with her. She let me know that she is a Christian. I was actually feeling kind of guilty about writing Hollywood people, due to my very strict Baptist church that taught that Satan ruled over Hollywood as the Hollywood cesspool of evil. So I justified my friendships with these heathens by seeing my letters to them as a sort of ministry for Jesus to reach them for Jesus. I figured if I could lead Hollywood people to Jesus, I would give Jesus some valuable disciples with influence. I can assure you that nothing I wrote to Brent was of a romantic nature (up until the time he called me and made love to me on the phone in May 1991) for this reason. But I felt like I needed to branch out and broaden my views, which were my REAL MOTIVES for writing Hollywood. This seemed like a good way to do it. I was stretching my wings and trying to find where I belonged. Brent's fame did not phase me. I did not care about that at all. It was his artistry and creativity and his courage to be true to his vision that intrigued me. I admired him for taking risks and being willing to follow his heart to be an actor and I believe I wrote him this. I respected him for being unconventional. To me, this indicated he was a pioneer, a visionary, and courageous. I was right about this, by the way! Even as a rigid Christian, I still had genius emotional I.Q. I am not saying that all Christians were rigid, but that at this time I was a rigid Christian, influenced by the rigidity of the church group I hung out with. So while I did comment about Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes and what I thought about them to Brent and Richard, I would throw in my own spiritual perspectives about it all and indulged in some small talk about life and philosophy, trying to find a way to witness to these guys about Jesus.
I actually got kind of attached to Richard. He was so personable in his letters to me. I felt like these Star Trek folks helped me to find another part of me that I was denying to myself. At this time, I sent him a photo of me with my husband and son and I believe at this time, I sent a photo to Brent of me with my husband and child, too. I wore a red church dress with my husband and son next to me, and it was taken in our Miami front yard.
I let Richard know that I had not heard back from Brent in July 1990. I started writing him about Sept. 1989. I think Brent did send me a autographed photo, but Jesuits or my husband intercepted it. I had send Richard a gospel tract and this was his response.
Actually, I agreed with a lot of what Richard sent and when I read his open and transparent response to me, I could relate to a lot of what he was saying. Like I said before, I had to convince myself that I was only writing him to mentor him into Christianity, but I was actually on my own spiritual exploration, feeling a bit constricted in the very strict Baptist church I attended. I loved Jesus but felt my church didn't have him quite right and I was right about this, too! I was going to a very strict church, that believed in the King James Bible only, though they were unconventional in some other areas, which I admired about them. I have always admired originality. But I did not respect their rigidity.
This is the photo he sent me. Even though he told me Brent had written me a letter, I wasn't sure it was true. But I wasn't mad at Brent or anything. I figured with him being a big star, he was just too deluged and busy to write me, which Richard mentioned in his letter.
In early September 1990, I went to my mailbox and noticed a white business type envelope, with a hastily slapped postage stamp in the upper right corner, no return address and an Atlanta postmark. My heart jumped, because I thought it might be from Brent. It was mailed to my previous Miami address and forwarded to me at my new Miami address. Here is what the letter said. It was on regular white typing paper, with Brent's signature. This really impressed me. It was like Brent knew that I didn't really care about getting an autographed photo, that a letter would mean much more to me. Perhaps Brent feared if he sent an autographed photo that it would be intercepted, like what he had mailed me earlier. I would also like to say that at this time, I was getting phone calls, about once a month from someone who called me (I had given Brent my phone number in my letters to him) and who was silent on the other end when I picked up the phone and said, "Hello?" I recall picking up the phone thinking it might be Brent, then laughing to myself and saying, "No way!" So I didn't make too much of the calls. I actually believe they were from Brent, now.
Dear Ms. Schuler (Gail Chord Schuler),
I apologize for the lateness of this reply, but due to my schedule on Star Trek: The Next Generation and off, I'm behind on my mail.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. They were read with appreciation.
Thank you for your comments about my portrayal of Data. They were read with interest.
I hope you continue to watch and enjoy the show.
Brent Spiner (he signed his first and last name)
COMMENTARY ABOUT MY CORRESPONDENCE WITH BRENT SPINER IN 1990/1991.
I threw out the 1990 letter Brent wrote me in 2000 when I divorced my husband, so that my husband would not drag Brent into the divorce, but being the sick Jesuit husband that he was, it did not work. Makes me wish I kept the letter now.
I stayed up all night to make this album of hymns for him. I was so honored that he wrote me a personal letter. I never expected him to fall in love with me as a result of this.
I wrote down the names of some of the songs I sang on that tape. It took up about a half hour I believe.
As you can see, I was not after Brent for romance. At this time, I was really stressed out about possibly losing my son to the state and I let Brent know about it. Notice the date of the letter. It was written in Dec. 1990. Melody let me know that Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes usually aired about 2 months after they were filmed.
Brent was reading my mail at this time and picked up on the fact that I almost got an ulcer dealing with the state about my son. I actually believe that at this time the Jesuit Order may have been trying to take my son from me cuz with their mind reads, they determined that Brent Spiner was falling in love with me. You see, they knew that he was behind the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Drumhead" which went into production at the same time I was writing Brent letters about my persecution from the state over a mistake. "The Drumhead" was all about an innocent young man who was being tried for a serious crime over a "mistake". Also, when "The Drumhead" aired indicates it was in production about a month after I wrote this Jan. 1991 letter to Brent, cuz Star Trek episodes aired two months after production, and it aired on April 29, 1991. I recall that I was SO PROUD of Star Trek in 1991 for doing this! That would give the Star Trek writer Jeri Taylor about a month to write a script before production started. So production was probably in February. The script was excellent, by the way. I was SO impressed with that episode.
How Loree McBride has ruined Star Trek since she has become the Jesuit leader (2017 to now).
He was part of my exploration to find myself, but as you can see, he wasn't interested in participating in that. Looking back on this, I laugh. Ironically, the one person who I was sure was not interested in helping me find myself, Brent Spiner, was making a music album for me at this time!
I believe I sent Richard a tape of hymns. I can't remember if I sang in them or not. Richard was wrong about Brent, though.
I convinced myself that I was only interested in having a spiritual influence on Brent and Richard and not using them as part of my own spiritual journey. This was how I justified to myself my interest in writing them. Though, honestly and truly, I was NOT looking for romance. Being a married woman at the time, that would have been a real NO NO.
Three days after I wrote this letter to Melody, "The Drumhead" aired on Star Trek: The Next Generation, and I knew Brent was behind it because of what I wrote to him in my letters. I was SO HONORED. I wrote him to let him know, but do not have those letters. I may have been afraid to keep them cuz I always tried to protect Brent from my jealous husband. THE TIMING OF THE RELEASE OF "THE DRUMHEAD" DEFINITELY INDICATES IT WAS A RESPONSE TO MY LETTERS TO BRENT SPINER AT THIS TIME. ALSO, THE TIMING OF BRENT'S FIRST MUSIC ALBUM INDICATES HE MADE "OL' YELLOW EYES IS BACK" as a response to the music cassette I mailed Brent in Sept. 1990.
MY COMMENTARY ABOUT "THE DRUMHEAD"
Right after I moved to Seattle from Miami, I received phone calls from a man with a tenor voice (Brent Spiner) who made love to me on the phone. I suspected the caller was from Paramount Studios and went on a quest to figure out who my mystery caller was.
I told NO ONE about the calls, though. It was my secret quest. I did not want my husband to know, cuz I feared he would blame my Hollywood correspondence and I did not want to lose my Hollywood friends. As part of my quest, I went to the library and checked out books about graphology (handwriting analysis) to try and figure out if it could be Brent or Richard, though I had no idea who it was at this time. I had Brent's real signature in the letter he mailed me.
I sent Richard a form letter asking him if he understood that I only wanted to be his friend, trying to figure out who was calling me on the phone. That ended our correspondence. I realized after getting his letter that he was not my mystery caller and I became quite upset that I lost my pen friend. It was like my journey to find my new spiritual self had been cut off and I was stuck in my rigid religious world. Brent called me right after I got Richard's letter. I think I wrote him and let him know that Richard cut me off and he said, "How are you?"
"Who's THIS?" I answered.
And then he hung up.
I still had not received Brent's music album "Ol' Yellow Eye Is Back" from Melody yet. I was about to get a BIG SURPRISE.
I received the album around June 26 or 27th, 1991. When I listened to the music, I figured out who my mystery caller was. I wrote Brent and told him that I figured out he was the one who made love to me on the phone. My phone then rang off the hook and Brent would blow his breath onto the phone sometimes like a caress when I picked up the phone. I'd get so turned on, I'd masturbate all day. I was feeling really guilty about this, though. I was furious at God that I had to turn Brent down cuz I didn't want for our awesome love to be adultery. And yet, one part of me felt like I was being liberated. Brent was transforming me and I was finding out who I really was.
I LOVED the cover photo Brent used for his album. He seemed to be looking right at me. I was convinced that he truly loved me and so mad at God that I couldn't have him. I realized when I listened to his music, that if I was free, Brent loved me enough to marry me.
I sent Melody a tape of my singing as thanks for sending me Brent's album. I didn't tell her that I figured out he was my mystery caller. I really loved Brent and wanted to protect him from my jealous husband, so I told NO ONE ABOUT HIM AT THIS TIME. I mean I told no one that he had made love to me on my phone.
I wanted to see my Brent find Jesus, so I opened up a bit about him to Dr. Peter Ruckman, who I greatly respected at this time. Though I said nothing about Brent's phone calls to me and just played that he was a Hollywood actor I wanted to win to Jesus. At this time, I noticed that the networks were covering the child abuse industry and exposing how the state abused their power and tried to control the family. I knew Brent was behind this and worshiped him for this.
These letters reveal how much I loved Brent. I saw him, not as the big star, but the intelligent, sensitive man who loved me from the depths of his heart and who I could not have in marriage or I'd be in sin. I recall one of our conversations.
"It must be so hard for you to call me and talk to me. I mean it takes a lot of guts."
"It's not easy," Brent said. "Yes, it does take guts. I adore you. You are so gorgeous."
And then he'd hang up. I loved him so much and I still do. The love has lasted from 1990 to now. When I found out about Loree McBride I was confused, until God told me in 1999 that she was a Vatican agent used to try and destroy the love between Brent and me.
I led Brent Spiner to Jesus in Sept. 2011. He has met with Jesus Christ almost every day from 2012 to now. He is now studying for the ministry at Dallas Theological Seminary. I am so proud of my awesome husband Brent Spiner! When it is God's time, I will be with him, living with him as his wife.
The Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Ship in a Bottle" (below) hinted at my relationship with Brent. The Moriarty character was patterned after Brent and his love interest who had dark hair like I did at the time was patterned after me. The Moriarty character was left handed like Brent. His love interest was described as brilliant and beautiful. These Star Trek writers saw my amazing teleplay "Lal" which was an amazing accomplishment for a one month old writer. I was very proud of it, especially since I was such a young writer at the time and felt, and still do, that it would have made a great episode. Because I felt this way and felt their rejection of it showed prejudice against me, they insulted me a bit at the end of this episode by saying I was proud. If you'll notice the actress who portrayed Regina looks uncannily similar to me. I sent Brent a lot of videos of me, so he and his Star Trek friends knew what I looked like. Rene Echevarria wrote this episode and he ended it that they had a new born star to study, very much like how I ended my teleplay "Lal". "Lal" was a sequel to Rene Echevarria's "The Offspring" and Melinda Snodgrass's "The Measure of a Man".
I submitted my rejected teleplay "Lal" in July 1992 to Paramount Studios. It was rejected around the end of July 1992. It appears that Brent was sorely disappointed that my teleplay was not accepted. I think he was personally delivering the teleplay to the writers as I did rewrites and submitted them to Brent. I wanted Brent to have the very best teleplay to act in. I gave him a lot to do. Perhaps Star Trek had Rene Echevarria write "Ship in a Bottle" to try to make it up to Brent that Paramount Studios allowed Loree McBride to drug rape Brent in Sept. 1992. My teleplay "Lal" begins and ends with a star about to go nova, and that's how Rene Echevarria ended this teleplay. It appears he wrote it right after my teleplay was rejected. It aired Jan. 23, 1993, which means it was in production about Nov. 23, 1993 and was probably written Aug. to Nov. 1992. Very shortly after this, Loree McBride would come back into Brent's life as Loree clone #2. When I saw it, I thought it was a good episode, but I wasn't sure what to make of it, in terms of its depiction of Brent and me. I laughed to myself, that they apparently had read my teleplay and thought me an arrogant upstart of a writer. In fact, the disturbed and tired look on Brent's face during "Ship in a Bottle" seems to indicate Loree clone #2 may have just popped back into Brent's life at the time "Ship in a Bottle" was in production. With this episode obviously made to honor Brent and Gail's love, is it any wonder the Jesuits chose this episode to bring back Loree?
See the amazing parallels between me and the woman Countess Regina in the episode. I always conducted myself with class around Brent, so I'm not surprised that they portrayed me as a Countess. Loree McBride is the complete opposite of me in that respect. I have never been jealous of Loree. I have always considered her cheap and trashy and beneath me. I knew Brent never loved her. I just thought he was a coward and had her in some sort of weird studio business relationship – until the Lord told me she was a Vatican agent in 1999.
Brent was filming the episode called "A Fistful of Datas" when Loree McBride was drug raping him in Sept. 1992. So while he was filming the above episode (https://ishare.rediff.com/video/entertainment/tng608/2383024), Loree was raping him (below). Though Brent is a brilliant actor, the trauma he suffered from Loree was so deep, he couldn't hide it.
Watch the movie I made about what she had to do to become Brent Spiner's "girlfriend". Brent Spiner has NEVER wanted Loree McBride. She had to drug rape him and make him believe he was making love to me to gain her entrance.

FINAL QUESTION: Why was Star Trek: The Next Generation cancelled at the HEIGHT OF ITS POPULARITY in 1994? Could it be that the Jesuits did not want more episodes like "Ship in a Bottle", "The Drumhead", etc. that made it a bit too obvious that Brent and Gail had a relationship? In fact, everything that followed Star Trek: The Next Generation was inferior to it. Also, Gene Roddenberry died shortly after Brent started making love to Gail on the phone in May 1991. The Jesuits apparently waited until Texan Gene Roddenberry was dead to attack Gail, cuz they knew with Roddenberry at the helm, that they could not use Paramount to extort Loree McBride onto Brent Spiner. Roddenberry died Oct. 24, 1991, very shortly after Brent called and made love to Gail. Jesuits knew they had to get rid of Roddenberry before they could introduce Loree McBride into Paramount studios. That manly Texan would never tolerate Loree McBride drug raping one of his stars at the very studio where he worked! Brent had his first sexual encounter (drug rape) at the studio in the GREEN ROOM with Loree McBride. WHAT A STRANGE PLACE TO START A RELATIONSHIP! You mean he didn't take her out on a date? The date was the GREEN ROOM?!

I inserted the year that the verse pertained to, as an extra that was not part of the original piece, to show that this was about my relationship with Brent as I saw it in 2000. The only part that is fiction is I was never diagnosed with breast cancer. However, I did get a biopsy for breast cancer twice in 2000. Both biopsies came back negative.

May-June 1991: "I want you." The voice yearned for me, and I searched for it. His eyes had poetry and his face astuteness. The wig and mustache (how Brent looked when I saw him through my son's bedroom window when he visited my apartment complex in Dec. 1993) could not camouflage his elegance. . .a star.
"Oh, my God, I know you. . ." Streams of light burst through Douglas Firs. The air was pure oxygen. A lush of rainfall from the stream, nodded an entrance. "Please. . .I'd like to be your friend."
"Can't we be more?"
"Oh, God." I crushed my head into my fists. "I can't, I want you more than anything — but I can't."
Nov. 1993: My husband detected us one day and degraded me with divorce threats, so I bared my soul to my friend at watersheds, parks, lakes, Seattle's Pike's Place. . .
In private.
1990: Divorce. I'd functioned as a mother and homemaker, dependent on my husband for five years.
I rummaged all news items about my friend, and ached for, not fame, but his presence. I avoided the spotlights.
1993: Three years later, a news item jumped at me: a description of a woman who emerged with him in public. Two more years slid by. Her description jumped at me once more and then a few more times. Probably a business associate.
June 1996: But in the newspapers today, a photo affronts me. He's with her, and she glares at me. Her occupation: Publicist (Loree McBride). The caption blasts: Star hosts lavish dinner for his girlfriend.
July 1996: Girlfriend? My bed, which once flowered with dreams, suffocates with tears.
Across my stage, she struts her stuff; and I grapple with anguish which ravages my sleep.
Her dazzle flies at my face; I feel embezzled. She flaunts her colors. . .her head: a peacock. Girlfriend.
"She's your girlfriend? Why do you need a girlfriend? Have you gone to bed with her?"
July to Dec. 1996: His eyes became cats, shifting and jumping. I remembered the day. . .when I'd leaped into the dark and shot some letters to a star (Jan. 1991), inviting him to expose corruption. . . never dreaming he would.
Sept. 1991: "You think you want to write?" My friend smiled. "Do it."
Overwhelmed with love, my heart poured to the page.
"You're wasting your time," my husband said.
1991 to now: But with warmth, my friend nourished me, and I blossomed; he reined music into my heart.
"Since I can't give you my body, I'll give you my soul, I'll write for you."
"What will you write?"
"I want to write something that will make you feel I'm with you always, because more than anything. . .that's what I want."
He grasped my hand.
June 1996 to Dec. 1999: And now. . . when I railed at my friend about her, he remained; and though he bore her, his ears jumped to my every word. Why had I dreamed of marriage? To him? I avoided the spotlights — and he paraded with this woman in public, as if I'd never bared my soul to him, as if he'd never heard all my secrets. Paraded. . .in public. And because he bore her, I convulsed with tears for a month.
June-July 1996: "My husband will kill me over you and you're not mine."
He simpered in silence.
"You've spoiled her and now she laughs at me."
The next morning, I limped through the papers: Star and girlfriend may contemplate marriage.
Marriage?
On a bench, he glared.
His eyes glazed. "I can't visit you anymore."
"You don't seem happy."
"I do care about you."
July 1996: "You're a coward. Make your choice."
"It's better we pretend that we've never met."
"What's going on?" I swaddled my sweater around me, the circle of moon draped in blackness and the dew chilled me.
His eyes raged. "I can't bear to leave you."
"What do you need her for?"
Like I'd uttered nothing, he stared; and then, his hands graced my shoulders and I deplored the spirit of his soul: steel and desperation. He stared.
Seattle 1999-2000: Rust, gold, and oranges shimmered from the mountains; my hands froze when I fumbled for my keys; the wind blasted ice; the days dragged on; the leaves flittered away. . .until trees, once full of life, bounced as sticks.
1989-1993: I offered tokens, and through letters, confessed my life to him. And at that park where I absorbed him last, I roamed. . .deliberated on the bench. . .My feet crunched on pebbles and gazed at the Cascades.
God would torch for me. On the cliffs, snow encroached; but the evergreens, the emerald towers of the mountains, gripped their leaves and persevered green through the winter.
Three years fogged by (1996 to 1999), and his girlfriend (Loree McBride), who flung my heart to the wind, parades with him. I still bare my soul to him: but I've banished him from my dreams.
1997 to 1999: Criminals stampede me and the police, who should flame against crime, make appearances.
Some doctors, rather than heal, deliver torment. To patch the damage, I rummage other doctors for months.
It seems, though I drive with deliberation, I dare not drive ten miles past the speed limit, the police lurk in every corner.
My food, medicines, and life are a plague which contaminate me. I meander through a maze to evade illnesses, but they creep upon me and inundate me.
Jobs elude me, creditors and husband harass me; everyone shouts for money.
2000: "I need money. Why don't you help?"
"Here, I'll give you some, but if I give you too much. . ." My friend's eyes evade me. "I'm so sorry."
It seems the whole world pursues me.
Though I stumble to protect those I love, they, too, suffer pain. (Jesuit bullies harassed my son so much at school, he became sick a lot and failed sixth grade during the 1999/2000 school year in the Mukilteo school district at Harbour Pointe Middle School. I did not know it then, but one reason he was so overwhelmed by all this is that my ex-husband had also sexually abused him while he was growing up.) My marriage becomes an empty shell and annihilates me. Medical costs inundate me. My health falters, my husband drowns me with sermons, obsessed with the sin of debt. He points fingers at me, shouts accusations, forsakes me.
2000: Compressed by a mammogram, my breasts and neck flinch. The x-ray room haunts me with specters. The radiologist's features seem an apparition; he nudges me with suggestions of surgery: general anesthesia and the knife. And sprinkles cold water on other choices. Cancer, death's fingers, he flutters before my eyes. Repulsed by this spook show, I shove it aside.
The snows thaw.
A pain lingers in my breast. Could she conspire with doctors to induce cancer?
Impossible. My breast compresses again. Another radiologist. . .another time. ..A routine bother pervades the room; the recommendation is a needle biopsy: the diagnosis turns out positive.
Cancer, death's fingers, grip my throat.
He never married that woman, though she paraded with him many years, and I think he took a crack at getting rid of her; then. . . a week later, bullets (2000) shattered my window.
The hospital slated me for surgery. The walls of my room, the I.V. in my arm, echoed images of my existence, my departure. . . Whispers hushed from outside my door, heads glimpsed into my room, but vanished. . .when my friend came to me. He rested his head on my lap. . .and through my sheets, I felt his tears.
"Tomorrow's my operation."
He wandered to the window.
"I want to marry you."
I laughed. "What will your girlfriend think?"
"I've always hated her."
"What did you say?"
His eyes drifted. "Are you afraid you'll die?"
"I've thought about it. . ." Would he make it if I died?
"I arranged for you to have a single room." His gaze locked on mine. "Everything about me. . .and her. . .was — and is — a big lie — I've wanted to marry you for eight years."
"She forced herself on me and I told myself it was alright, because I protected you by keeping her." His eyes leaked anguish. "If I tried to expose her, she'd harm you. So I hired a lawyer to protect you. It was useless. She wanted you to think I'd betrayed you, so you'd despise me — and kick me out of your life." He crunched a fist. His eyes searched mine, they shadowed and unsettled. "Whenever I dreamed of intimacy, it was you. . .always. . .you." Over his face flickered a twitch. "She tried to seduce a friend of mine, I still kept her." His shoulders slumped and his face limped. "She insisted on attending public events with me, I played her game. If I wanted to help you with money, she threatened to tell your husband that we had sex. I couldn't let your husband know about us, because then I wouldn't be able to check on you. I was horrified what she'd do to you, if I couldn't keep you."
"She could have said we had sex anyway, no matter what you did."
"I told her if she did that and your husband dumped you, I'd marry you. But. . .I couldn't give you the money you needed. I know they bankrupted you — God knows, I wanted to help. . .but it would make you look like my whore." He chuckled. "It would have been a mess. I mean — your husband –"
2001: "But after my husband left, you should have helped me more. . ."
"She told me she'd tell your husband that I caused all the damage your family received. If I didn't keep her, she'd harm you. I played her game. But she double-crossed me. She still harmed you. I'm so sorry. . .Oh, God, I'm so sorry." A quiver staggered over his mouth.
"The photos you saw in the papers. On the Internet. They were (photoshop) frauds. She changed our expressions. She pasted heads on bodies. It was all fake. . ."
A fog lifted from me, but a monster towered over my body and the ceiling glowered.
"Oh, my God. . ."
This woman (Loree McBride). . .whose eyes lacked astuteness, schemed labyrinths. This adolescent, this peacock — at a prom.
Hadn't I, nine years ago (1990-1991), invited him to expose corruption of a Church? Did their labyrinth ferret me out; and then, weasel like snakes to crush me?
I plunged into darkness.
When I'd researched for my book, I discovered evidence that with presidents and prime ministers, a Church (Roman Catholic Church) conspired; and like Machiavelli, these hucksters retreated before nothing to wield a path to dictatorship. Behind the scenes, they'd financed and supported Adolph Hitler and his war machine. These creeps, these butchers. . .corrupted doctors, lawyers, police departments, schools, employers, preachers, and the world, to crush me. They knew I could influence my friend, who hovered over me, and who might sway the masses against them. My friend, a sitting duck, had fallen into their contrivances. Publicity — bad press, obsessed them.
She'd peacock as a girlfriend, but struggle as a publicist — for them, a guardian at the gate, to avert any bad press this Church could sustain — from the scandal. A publicist. A distractor. To veil the real enemy: the richest Church in the world. They commissioned that woman, who strong-armed her way into my friend's life: to break us up.
Why couldn't I understand? Rocks had blinded me to the truth — the truth, that he loved me like the sun, that he kept her, for me; my eyes became rivers; tears came, oh, tears came. All those years (1996 to 1999) he needed my warmth. Oh, the coldness I tumbled to him — and I'd banished him from my dreams (1996 to 1999). He suffered a truce with her (1992 to 2018), for me.
Dec. 1999: "I asked you to expose that Church. Nine years ago. Remember? You're famous and I know too much and she doesn't seem smart enough to scheme these brilliant plots. You see, that's why, when you cage her, I'm still harassed, because you can't cage the one who directs her — that Church. That Church. They think that because of me, you'll give them bad press. That's why they hired a publicist to be your girlfriend."
His features paled. "My God. . ."
"Please forgive me. I had no idea what you've gone through."
"My God. . ." His fingers crunched through his hair. "My God. . ."
"You love me. You poor guy — you love me."
Like an apparition, he stumbled to a chair.
"My God — A When he bolted to face me, fire leaped from his eyes. He slunk toward me.
His head drifted to my lap.
My bowels ached for him. I yearned to assuage him. . .to comfort him.
He laid beside me, smoothed fingers through my hair, and kissed it. His voice sighed in my ear. "You're gorgeous."
"Are we alone?"
On my forehead, his lips smothered my skin. "Of course."
"We're really alone?
"But what about the I.V.?"
"If it bothers you, let me know." Around me, swooned his arms, and over my face, flooded his mouth. "Is it alright?"
"Please. . .don't stop." My pain thawed. . .into my pillow.
A haven that healed my fears were his kisses. Flames were his embraces. I needed to love him, to nurse his wounds. Dreams floated about me and, on me, he abandoned himself.
Over me, waves blew. My heartaches smoothed, my pain eased, because of the feel of his skin; with tenderness, the bed burst. For years, I thought it only a dream to have with him: intimacy. But against me now, his skin was warm.
He smiled and clung to me, swirled my heartstrings; and swayed me like a baby on a lake which cradled; my eyes were relished by his kisses. Sweetness and tears reared me to oblivion — and I drowned.
"You're so gorgeous," he whispered.
1990 to now: "Oh God. . . I love you."
The words lingered.
In the morning, my ears perked to the creaking of wheels, and walls slid by me.
Oblivious to the I.V., I drifted. Today's operation seemed a blur. I dreamed sunbeams; joy hovered above sadness and waltzed through my bed. The walls slid by — a symphony, because tomorrow. . .my eyes would awaken to his presence.
Morning. . .sunbeams. . .on my windowsill. . .sunbeams. I recollected this room. . .heads which glimpsed through the door and whispers in the corridor. . .then, his eyes shadowed me and glanced down at a ring with a jewel which shimmered with emerald sparkles.
"I know I should have bought you a diamond, but an emerald is your soul."
I ached to kiss him, but overwhelmed with weakness, I couldn't rise; but his lips found mine and lingered. . .
"You never quit on me," I said. "You're so brave."
A month later, I visited the doctor and a drift of isopropyl alcohol sifted through my nose: "Your cancer's gone."
My heart swelled. We married under a (Jewish) canopy. Yes, an entrance. . .A beginning. . .
The tabloids blasted me: Star (Brent Spiner) betrays girlfriend (Loree McBride) and goes off with fan (Gail Chord Schuler).
Pain. . .and music. . .and flowers. . .Yes — pain could be a symphony and walls, trees, and flowers could sing for me. . .it was time to heal. . .
2018: Maybe our love will expose their treachery and maybe it will help save our nation. My friend, who once dragged in torment, can pounce like a lion. . .his eyes no longer stare, but sometimes. . . they soar. . .so. . .how can I stay sad. . .when I have a man who loves me like the sun? Each day his love enshrines me. And he — who I banished from my dreams, has claimed, his emerald tower.

WHY I FELL FOR BRENT SPINER IN ST:TNG "PEN PALS" | Gail Chord Schuler Website May 18, 2018, 1:17 am
[…] This was why I was so devastated when the Paramount studios worker I was writing along with Brent in 1990 and 1991, cut me off in May 1991, after I sent him a form letter trying to figure out who was calling me on the phone and saying with deepest longings, "I want to rape you". That Paramount studios worker did not realize it, but when he wrote me in August 1990 complaining about Christians, I bonded with him over his statements: "I cannot agree with your views on Christianity, sinners, etc., which is something I hope you will respect. . .I am no child and I've seen far too much to believe that by simply going to a church and letting some nut on a pulpit tell you everything will be alright that you will be 'saved'. I believe that one must live every day and do everything as if that day or thing will be the one that they are 'judged' on. I have seen more hypocrisy or hate spewed from the mouths of 'Christians' than I have seen out of any other group, religious or not. Being a 'Christian' has nothing to do with belonging to any church or watching a certain TV evangelist or being part of a select group that for some reason decides that they are better than everyone else. To me, being a good Christian is simply following Christ's teachings, which very few 'Christians' seem to know anything about."

One of the first places I visited in America was the Grand Canyon.
Wollongong is a beautiful city.
Stretching along the East coast of Australia, just south of Sydney, it has amazing beaches, nightlife, café culture and a thriving local art and music scene. I go to school at Wollongong University and am in my third year studying marketing. I am currently studying one semester here at Long Beach State.
One of the reasons why I came to LBSU for my study abroad experience was that students from all over America come to Wollongong to study and without fail, they say it's the best decision they have ever made. Hearing this, I knew that I had to study abroad too. I am halfway through my semester abroad at LBSU, and I can say that it's the best decision I have ever made, too.
Studying abroad is more than just studying in another country. It is an opportunity to travel the world and meet new and incredible people. On my way to LBSU, I took the opportunity to do some travel of my own on the way and spent three weeks in Europe.
In this time, I visited eight countries including England, France, Italy, Germany and Holland. This is something I only did as a direct result of being involved in study abroad.
I also have plans to visit Canada and Mexico and have already travelled through much of California.
This shows that you can make the most of your study abroad experience. It's not only about school, but about doing as much extra traveling as you can to see the world.
From visiting different countries and much of California, I have learned so much. Traveling doesn't just enrich you personally, it teaches you. In Europe, I learned about world history, politics and technology. I gained new knowledge about Queen Margarita who the margarita pizza was named after.
I learned how the French protect their language by making English words like hashtag illegal.
I have been able to gain so much knowledge about Canada simply by meeting Canadians and talking to them in my travels.
As for my time in America, I have learned about social and political issues, such as gun control, migration issues and how events of the past are affecting people today. In many ways I can see similarities between American and Australian issues, one of the main differences being how Americans talk about these issues much more openly.
The crazy thing about everything I have learned is that none of it was learned in a classroom. I got this understanding of the American culture by exploring, talking to new people and by living in it. There isn't an exam to make sure I remember and apply this knowledge, but I know the things I have learned are invaluable.

Protest • Organizers say participants will define the demonstration.
It's Ogden's turn to join the "Occupy" movement.
A rally is planned for 10 a.m. Saturday in front of Ogden City Hall. Organizers say everyone is invited. The demonstration, of course, dovetails with Occupy Wall Street and Occupy Salt Lake City, among others.
Organizer Carol Sullivan said the people who show up Saturday will determine what form Occupy Ogden takes. Currently, there are no plans to camp out, but that could change, she said.
At noon, Sullivan said the demonstration will become a "general assembly meeting" where participants suggest activities and goals.
"We're pretty sure this will be the beginning of something ongoing," she said. "This is our kickoff event."
Because there is an Internal Revenue Service center in Ogden, there may be a focus on inequities in the tax code, she said.
"The elite and upper class should pay their fair share," she said.
Among the speakers Saturday will be former Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson.
The "Occupy" movement is easy to understand, Anderson said in response to those — including some in Utah's congressional delegation — who have dismissed it.
"All you have to do is follow the money to see how Congress and the White House are bending over backward to aid the wealthy," he said. "The ones who have betrayed us are the members of Congress and the people in the White House."
The Rev. Theresa Novak of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Ogden said Occupy Ogden, like the other demonstrations, is a true grass-roots movement.
Occupy Ogden could be an ongoing daily event or a weekly event. But whatever it becomes, it will be the people of the Ogden area who make it, Novak said.


A decade ago, 3D printers were expensive, and 3D printing was something that only happened in science labs and high-tech companies. However, now, 3D printers are cheap, reliable, and easy to use, and so they are becoming increasingly common in homes and schools around the world.3D printing is a tangle of technologies, processes, and materials that can be difficult to understand at first. However, when you break it down to its constituent parts, you'll see it's quite a simple process. The complexity comes from being able to make this process reliable and repeatable.Modern 3D printers have become so easy to use that you don't need to understand how they work to use them. However, you will be able to get much more out of them the more you know. If you're using a 3D printer in industry or for business reasons, then a little knowledge is essential, as just knowing a few basics could save you money in failed prints and wasted materials.

Latest news > Supreme Court appeal hearing pending for Pakistani Christian "blasphemy" prisoner Aasia Bibi
Supreme Court appeal hearing pending for Pakistani Christian "blasphemy" prisoner Aasia Bibi
The Chief Justice of Pakistan announced that the Supreme Court will soon hear the appeal case of Christian woman Aasia Bibi, who was sentenced to death for "blasphemy" in 2010.
A further announcement confirming a date for the appeal hearing is awaited from Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, who has issued directives for full-security precautions for Aasia during the forthcoming hearing. A Pakistani pastor requested Christian's pray "for protection for Aasia, her lawyer and her family." Islamic extremists in Pakistan are likely to react violently if her death sentence is quashed.
Aasia has spent nearly nine years in prison after she was accused of insulting Muhammad during an argument with Muslim women field-labourers. The confrontation started when they refused to drink water she had fetched because she was a Christian. The most recent attempt to appeal her conviction collapsed when one of the three judges recused himself.
The European Union's Special Envoy for the promotion of freedom of religion has reportedly told the Pakistani government that trade access to the EU will be directly linked to a "positive outcome" in Aasia's "blasphemy" case.
Barnabas Fund are supporting Aasia Bibi's family with a monthly food parcel and have helped to purchase a house and fund the installation of a gas supply to the family's new home. Aasia's husband and children had to go into hiding after she was accused.

Many attempts to 'look on the bright side' of GDPR are, to say the least, tenuous. But, one really tangible benefit is starting to emerge – the birth of a completely new channel for marketers.
Virtually all responsible European organisations have changed their corporate privacy policies, or at least their customer-facing privacy statements. To support this, change a large number have also introduced customer portals to enable easier self-management of communication permissions and preferences. Some of these portals are well-designed and represent a great user experience, but many are complex, confusing and time-consuming.
The characteristic that links all of these new "Privacy Portals" is that they only relate to a relationship with a single organisation.
They are provided by the organisation for their own customers and prospects, each of whom is probably having to interact with many different portals. The portals will have different log-ins, interfaces, protocols and overall experiences.
In reality, this (GDPR) power given to consumers has resulted in a patchwork of web portals. Every company has a different website and user experience, and users must seek out the correct link/portal to exercise their rights. Data privacy and protection rights in the digital age are highly fragmented.
The solution is a single, cross-brand portal that enables individuals to manage their permissions with multiple organisations from a single interface.
Surely any technology company should be able to develop and launch this easily. Well, if that were the case, why wouldn't we have many services like this in the market already?
The reality is that this task is much more complex than it seems. Developing the interface is the easy part but the 'plumbing' behind it requires sophistication.
The actions of a user need to be communicated to the organisations using the service, probably via an interface into one of many types of CRM system. A history of all changes to permission and preferences needs to be stored and visible to both the user and the organisation. The users' data must be transportable between organisations if the they want to change vendors. And, of course, security is paramount.
A few solutions to this challenge are now beginning to emerge with the JLINC Labs solution, mentioned in the Ovum article, as an early leader in completeness of this proposition. JLINC offers the single user interface to multiple vendors and has developed a unique approach to 'plumbing' behind it.
But how can this be called a new market channel?
Trust in what an organisation will do with a person's data is becoming a key customer priority in selecting vendors.
This happens early in decision processes. Often, customers will not even consider visiting a website based on previous bad experiences or poor reputation for spamming. Services like JLINC provide users with a guaranteed level of care and transparency from organisations that use it. They will increasingly even provide trust ratings for these organisations based on user feedback and any transgressions regarding their stated privacy commitment.
So, a cross-brand privacy portal could easily become a favoured start point for privacy-conscious customers to search for new providers that are most likely to take greatest care of their data. It offers a new way to start a customer-controlled relationship with an organisation. The customer can see and select from brands already using the service. In the future, they will also be able to notify other brands of their desire to share information - if they are prepared to do so on the customer's preferred privacy management service.
Only time will finally tell but there are clear signs that we are seeing the emergence of a whole new marketing channel – Relationship Invitation Portals.

Cecilia Biagini was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina where she began her journey as an artist and gained recognition. In 1998, Biagini permanently moved to New York where she co-founded The Hogar Collection and discovered a newfound inspiration to create sculpture. Her oeuvre is featured both nationally and internationally in many collections including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA), Buenos Aires, The University of Texas San Antonio, and The New York Public Library.
Agua Viva, Biagini's fourth solo exhibition at Ruiz-Healy Art, features painting, sculpture, and sound. In the spirit of abstraction, Biagini works freely through her tools emphasizing the themes of exploration and self-discovery. She states that in the modern world where technology is a strong force she aims to maintain "the innocence of being" giving her audience an opportunity to simply be through her arrangement of line, color, and depth.
Cecilia Biagini, "A Process of Development", Acrylic on canvas, 49 x 38″, 2018
In A Process of Development, the manipulation of space within the painting suggests both a macro and micro perspective of the world Biagini has created through Agua Viva. On the surface of the painting, a vibrant hue of red-orange envelops a distorted plane of colorful squares. This lively painting is most likely inspired by her time in Manhattan as she states, "one can view the painting as an aerial view of a city." Echoing a map view of Manhattan, A Process of Development contains the grid-like structure and narrow shape of the city. Biagini states that the "rocky ground can be felt as one travels the streets of Manhattan." The distorted plane in which the gridded structure occupies likely reflects Biagini's experience of the city at a micro level.
Biagini's paintings contain open space as an invitation for the viewer to enter the composition. The installation, Independent Source, can be interpreted as a painting brought to life. Instead of the viewer occupying a fictional space in a painting, the installation occupies a space in our reality. The installation contains the abstraction, colors, layers, and compositional structure that create optical barriers in the paintings without the restrictions of a canvas. The 360-degree view intended in Independent Source allows the viewer to admire the three-dimensional and organic composition. For Biagini, sculpture is an opportunity to improvise with tools in which she expresses herself through them.

The innovative use of materials used to convey transformation is subtle but significant throughout the exhibition. One of the ways Biagini demonstrates her artistic process is through the use of small pieces of tape repeated in Mental Field and QFWFC. The use of tape to create layers and texture as well as the imitation of it are important because they draw out the essences of the materials and allude to the transformation of the paintings. In Mental Field the indentation of the tape after it has been removed suggests the physicality of the tape in its absence. In removing the tape, Biagini also exposes layers beneath the surface of the painting highlighting the development of the artwork. QFWFC compliments Mental Field by suggesting a reversal of the process. Biagini creates an impression by placing tape on the white canvas and painting over it with a distinctive color. In highlighting the tape, she implies that it is an additional layer on the surface of the canvas.
On the topic of achieving equilibrium, Biagini reveals that there is a fine line between resolving and losing the painting. There cannot be too much empty space, nor can there be too much-occupied space. Biagini finds that balance through trial and error, sometimes painting over the entire canvas and creating an entirely new painting.
Upon viewing Agua Viva, artist Jesse Amado described the exhibition as a nod to abstract expressionism, specifically Pollock's drip paintings that he created by walking on large canvases as he poured paint onto them. Although Biagini's technique differs from Pollock, the allusion of performance remains imprinted on her paintings. Moments of interactions between artist and artwork captured for her viewers to watch unfold before their eyes.

In this pose we will see how we can extract or unzip the uploaded files and check for some files in it in a in a programmatic manner. We will use a normal MVC application to work with this demo. We will use Microsoft System.IO.Compression, System.IO.Compression.FileSystem namespaces and the classes, for example ZipArchive, in the namespace for extracting or unzipping the files we upload. Once it is uploaded we will check the same by looping through it. For the client side coding, we uses jQuery. I guess this is enough for the introduction, now we will move on to our application. Let us create it. I hope you will like this article.
As you are aware most websites accept only .zip or any other zipped formats, this is for ensuring that only less amount of data is being uploaded to the server. We can reduce almost 60 percent of the size if we zipped the same. Now the problem is, how you can validate any zipped item which is uploaded to your site? How can you check for any particular file in that zipped item? For example, if you need to find out any files with an extension of .sql, .ico or .txt? What if you want to intimate user that the uploaded items do not have any particular file that must be needed? Do you need to loop through the contents available in it right? This is what we are going to discuss in this post. I had a situation of uploading my old backups of my personal website (http://sibeeshpassion.com/) and after uploading I wanted to check whether the uploaded .zip file has .ico file in it. The process we are going to do is listed below.
Now we will move into the coding part. I hope your MVC application is ready for action with all the needed packages.
Now we will create a controller, view with an action in it as follows.
Now in the view, we will add a file upload and other needed elements.
Add the references as follows.
Here MyScript.js is where we are going to write some scripts.
Now it is time to create upload action. For that, please go to the script file MyScript.js and do the coding as follows.
If you are not aware of uploading and downloading in MVC, I strongly recommend you to have a look here: Uploading and Downloading in MVC Step-by-Step.
So we have set Home/Upload as the URL action in our Ajax function right? So we are going to create that action. Go to your controller and create a JsonResult action as follows.
So we have done that too, now stop for a while. To work with ZipArchive class you must include the namespace as listed below.
Now you will be shown an error as "Are you missing an assembly reference?". Yes, we are. We have not added that references right? So now we are going to add the references for System.IO.Compression and System.IO.Compression.FileSystem.
Right click on Reference in your project and browse for the references. If you uses Visual Studio 2015, the references will be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.6.
As you can see we are looping through the HttpFileCollectionBase files and checks for the content type first.
Once the checking is done, we will save the files to a folder, we will send the path to the functionCheckForTheIcon(pth). So our next thing we need to do is to create the function CheckForTheIcon().
As you can see we are looping through each ZipArchive class items and checks for the '.ico' file in it. So if there is no error and there is '.ico' file in the uploaded item zip item, you will get the message as "Success: or if it does not contain the '.ico' file, you will get the message as "No ico files has been found".
Now it is time to see our output. Please run your application.


Stamp Duty Australia is a tax that is levied on documents. Historically, this included the majority of legal documents such as: cheques, marriage licences, finance documents, land transactions etc. A physical stamp (tax stamp) had to be attached to the document to denote that stamp duty had been paid before the document was legally effective. More modern versions of the tax no longer require a physical stamp.
Major forms of duty include the transfer duty on the sale of land, businesses, shares and other forms of dutiable property; mortgage duty; lease duty and duty on the hire of goods. Rebates or concessions are available from transfer duty for those purchasing their first home.
On 20 April 2005, the Treasurers of various States or Territories announced that they would phase out a number of duties, including Mortgage Stamp Duty; the duty paid on a Home Loan or Mortgage document over the following five years. However, duty on land ownership transfers would remain.
This is where our suite of Stamp Duty Calculator tools will be able to assist you calculate the right amount of stamp duty, which you can then add to your home loan.

Українці Далекого Сходу () — одна з етнічних громад на території Далекого Сходу, яка сформувалася історично й зробила значний внесок в освоєння й розвиток краю. Українська громада також увійшла в історію активною політичною діяльністю на Далекому Сході після Жовтневого перевороту 1917 року.

Більшість сучасної української діаспори становлять нащадки перших переселенців на територію краю в кінці ХІХ — на початку ХХ століття, а також фахівці, які переїхали з УРСР під час промислового розвитку регіону.

За даними перепису населення 2010 року, чисельність українців в становить 154 954 осіб — це друга за чисельністю етнічна група Далекосхідного федерального округу.

Історія

Українська колонізація Далекого Сходу
Наприкінці XIX століття першими селянами, що поселилися в Примор'ї, стали вихідці з Чернігівської та Полтавської губерній. Напередодні 1917 року українські села оточували Владивосток, переписи показували в регіоні 83 % українського населення. У роки революції та Громадянської війни поруч з білими, червоними і різноманітними інтервентами тут виникли і українські частини-«курені».

У 1858-60 роках Російська імперія приєднала північний берег Амуру і Примор'я; ці землі були не заселені і залишалися такими першу чверть століття російського панування. Владивосток був невеликою базою флоту посеред безлюдних просторів. Тільки 13 і 20 квітня 1883 року сюди з Одеси прибули два перших пасажирських пароплава «Росія» і «Петербург», на борту яких знаходилося 1504 селян-переселенців з Чернігівської губернії. Вони на півдні Примор'я заснували перші дев'ять сіл.

Одеса довгий час була головною сполучною ланкою з російським Далеким Сходом. Тому не дивно, що серед переселенців переважали вихідці з України. У далекі краї переселялися насамперед безземельні селяни. Найближчими до Одеси губерніями з найбільшим «аграрним перенаселенням» були Чернігівська і Полтавська. Саме вони і дали основний потік перших колоністів у далеке Примор'я.

На Далекому Сході селянам безкоштовно надавався 100-десятинний наділ землі (109 га). Для порівняння, в центральній Росії середній селянський наділ становив 3,3 десятини, а в Чернігівській губернії — 8 десятин. Але селянам з Росії було складніше дістатися до Одеси, ніж жителям сіл з найближчих українських губерній. До того ж в Україні не існувало общинного землеволодіння, тому місцевим селянам було легше продати свої індивідуальні наділи і рушити в далеку дорогу. Селяни ж в російських губерніях цієї можливості були позбавлені аж до столипінських агарних реформ.

Тому за перше десятиліття російської колонізації Примор'я, з 1883 по 1892 роки, вихідці з України склали 89,2 % всіх переселенців. З них 74 % — селяни з Чернігівської губернії, інші — з Полтавської і Харківської.

До початку XX століття переселення українців в Примор'ї набуває ще більш масовий характер. У 1892—1901 роки сюди приїхало понад 40 тисяч українських селян, які склали 91,8 % всіх колоністів Примор'я. Посиленню такої міграції сприяв голод, що охопив північні губернії України в 1891—1892 роках.

У 1903 році почала працювати Транссибірська залізниця, що з'єднала центральну Росію з Далеким Сходом. Це відкрило новий етап заселення Примор'я і розділило все населення краю на «старожилів» — тих, хто прибув сюди на пароплавах з Одеси, і «новоселів», які приїхали вже по залізниці.

За останнє десятиліття перед 1917 роком у Примор'я переселилося 167 547 осіб. Але навіть після створення Транссибу і столипінських агарних реформ, які скасували общинне землеволодіння в російських губерніях, понад 76 % переселенців становили українські селяни. З них майже третину переселенців дала Чернігівська губернія, п'яту частину Київська та десяту — Полтавська.

Всього за даними статистики, з 1883 по 1916 роки в Примор'ї і Приамур'ї з України поселилося понад 276 тисяч осіб, 57 % всіх переселенців. Українські селяни заселяли Південь Примор'я і Зейську долину біля Амуру, які за своєю природою і ландшафту дуже нагадували лісостепові райони Чернігівщини та Полтавщини. У більш північних тайгових районах краю вони майже не селилися.

Як наслідок, космополітичний Владивосток початку ХХ століття оточували суцільно українські села, і за свідченням очевидців, усіх сільських жителів краю городяни називали «не інакше, як хохлами». Українці породили в Примор'ї масу географічних назв на честь міст і місцевостей України — річка Київка, село Київка, селища Чернігівка, Чугуївка, Слов'янка, Хороль та інші.

Території Приморської і Амурської областей, найбільш компактно заселені вихідцями з України, в українському етнічному свідомості запам'яталися під ім'ям «Зелений Клин». Походження цієї назви зв'язується з буйною зеленню рослинності Примор'я, а також географічним положенням Південно-Уссурійського краю, що втиснувся «клином» між Китаєм і Японським морем. Також слово «клин» використовувалося в значенні певної частини земної поверхні, земельних угідь («земельний клин»), адже саме тут український селянин отримував у своє володіння величезні за європейськими мірками наділи.

Відносно українських поселенських земель на півдні Далекого Сходу поряд з назвою «Зелений Клин» використовувалися також найменування «Нова Україна», «Далекосхідна Україна», «Зелена Україна». У краєзнавчій літературі використання назви «Далекосхідна Україна» зафіксовано вже в 1905 році щодо південної частини Уссурійського краю.

Самі українські селяни-колоністи в околицях Владивостока, за свідченням етнографів, називали край «Приморщина» — за аналогією з Чернігівщиною і Полтавщиною.

Сучасник так описує села навколо Владивостока століття тому:

Мазані хати, садки, квітники й городи біля хат, планування вулиць, внутрішнє оздоблення хат, господарське та домашнє майно, інвентар, а де-не-де одяг — усе це ніби цілком перенесено з України… Базар у торговий день, наприклад, в Нікольську-Уссурійському вельми нагадує якусь містечко в Україні; та ж маса круторогих волів, той же український одяг на людях. Всюди чується веселий, жвавий малоросійський говір, і в спекотний літній день можна подумати, що перебуваєш десь у Миргороді, Решетилівці або Сорочинцях часів Гоголя.

Картину «Далекосхідної України» завершували повсюдні соняшники біля сільських будинків, неодмінні ознаки українських сіл, і переважне використання в якості тяглової сили характерних для України волів, а не більш звичних для російських сіл коней. Як писав далекосхідний етнограф тих років В. А. Лопатін, українці «перенесли з собою Малоросію на Далекий Схід».

Серед українців Примор'я на початку XX століття існувала самоназва «руські», яке відділялося і не змішувалося з етнонімом «русские». А в самому Примор'ї на початку XX століття ситуація була аналогічна власне Україні — російськомовні багатонаціональні міста в оточенні українських сіл. У цьому Владивосток не сильно відрізнявся від Києва.

Український політичний рух під час Української революції

26 березня 1917 року на мітингу українці Владивостока й околиць створили «Владивостоцьку Українську Громаду». Першим головою Громади став колишній політичний засланець, соціал-демократ, журналіст із Полтави Микола Новицький. Уже в травні 1917 року «лівий» Новицький перейшов на роботу у Владивостоцьку Раду і пост голови Громади посів заступник військового прокурора Владивостока (а «для душі» — музичний критик) підполковник Федір Стешко, уродженець Чернігівської губернії.

Навесні 1917 року майже у всіх містах Далекого Сходу були засновані аналогічні «Українські Громади». Вони виникли в Хабаровську, Благовєщенську, Нікольську-Уссурійському (нині Уссурійськ), Іман (нині Дальнєрєченськ), Свободному, Ніколаєвську-на-Амурі, Петропавловську-Камчатському, Читі, Харбіні, на багатьох залізничних станціях і в селах російського Далекого Сходу і Маньчжурії. У цей період всі далекосхідні українські організації виступали за автономію України в складі «федеративної демократичної Російської держави».

У низці міст Далекого Сходу «громади» проіснували практично до того, як їх розпустили більшовики в листопаді 1922 року. Деякі з них були досить численними і впливовими — так, в Українській Громаді Хабаровська до 1921 року було зареєстровано понад 940 сімей (понад 3000 осіб). Зусиллями цих «громад» організовувалися українські школи, кооперативи, велася активна просвітницька та видавнича діяльність.

1917 року на Далекому Сході з'являються газети українською мовою — «Українець на Зеленому Клині» (Владивосток), «Українська Амурська справа» (Благовєщенськ), «Хвилі України» (Хабаровськ), «Вісти Українського клубу» (Харбін). Всеросійський сільськогосподарський перепис населення, проведений влітку 1917 року, зафіксував тут 421 тисячу українців, що становило 39,9 % всього населення регіону.

Тоді ж на Далекому Сході виник цілий ряд «Окружних Рад» — аналогів революційних Рад, але побудованих за етнічним принципом. Ці «окружні ради» вже претендували не тільки на громадську діяльність, а й на політичне керівництво місцевими українцями. Наприклад, з 1917 року і до початку 20-х років активно діяла Маньчжурська Окружна Рада з центром в Харбіні. З 1918 року ця рада видавала далекосхідним українцям паспорти громадян «самостійної» України (при цьому текст таких документів друкувався трьома мовами — українською, російською і англійською).

Після Берестейського миру радянська Москва деякий час навіть визнавала далекосхідні Окружні Ради як консульства незалежної України. Але з 1922 року, коли більшовики створили буферну Далекосхідну Республіку, вони відмовилися визнавати Ради і видані ними «українські паспорти». Самі ж Благовіщенська і Хабаровська Окружні Ради отримали статус органів національно-культурної автономії в складі ДСР.
У 1917—1919 роках у Владивостоці пройшло кілька загальних з'їздів українців Далекого Сходу. На третьому такому з'їзді в квітні 1918 року обрали «Український Далекосхідний Секретаріат», який претендував на статус уряду Далекосхідної України. Однак, цей «уряд» не мав ні коштів, ні масової підтримки, після того як він спробував зайняти нейтральну позицію в громадянській війні, що розгорялася. Утім, Секретаріат діяв аж до арешту його членів радянською владою в листопаді 1922 року.

В період Громадянської війни в Росії, природно, головну роль грали військові організації. Ще в липні 1917 року Тимчасовий уряд, поступившись вимогам київської Центральної Ради, погодилося на створення в рамках російської армії окремих українських частин. В результаті влітку 1917 року у Владивостоцькому гарнізоні були створено 8 «українських рот». Хоча гарнізон Владивостока на дві третини складався з українців і осіб українського походження, ідея «українського війська» на Далекому Сході не здобула великої популярності.

Однак наприкінці 1918 року ідея українських військ стала більш популярною, але з цілком «пацифістської» причини. Коли Сибірський тимчасовий уряд спробував почати мобілізацію українців Амура і Примор'я на фронт для війни з більшовиками, місцеві «малороси» стали відмовлятися під приводом того, що бажають воювати тільки в національних українських частинах.

Створене в Омську на багнетах чехословацького легіону «Всеросійський Тимчасовий уряд» 4 листопада 1918 року випустив окрему декларацію про створення українських військових частин у складі «білих» армій. У Владивостоку був організований український штаб з формування українських частин. Його начальником став якийсь осавул Харченко, а потім генерал Хрещатицький, колишній командир Уссурійської козачої дивізії. Плани були наполеонівські — створити 40-тисячне український корпус «вільного козацтва».

15 травня 1919 адмірал Колчак, що вже став «Верховним Правителем», надав вказівку про неприпустимість формування українських частин. Щойно створений у Владивостоці «1-й Ново-Запорізький Добровольчий пластунський курінь» (батальйон) був заарештований білою контррозвідкою в повному складі під приводом «пробільшовицьких настроїв».

Українські активісти знову спробували створити свої війська в січні 1920 року, коли у Владивостоці було повалена владу Колчака, що розвалювалася під ударами червоних. «Український Далекосхідний Секретаріат» навіть звернувся за допомогою в цій справі до більшовиків, але більшовицька Військова рада Примор'я відповіла відмовою.

Українським активістам було запропоновано утримувати свої частини на власні кошти, однак пожертвувань, що надходили від українського населення на ці потреби, не вистачало. У цих умовах українські військові частини, яким бракувало найнеобхіднішого і, перш за все, продовольства, не змогли довго проіснувати навіть в умовах фактичного безвладдя, що панувало в Примор'ї.

Під час пертурбацій громадянської війни в Хабаровську головою місцевого більшовицького ревкому став колишній член «Українського Далекосхідного Секретаріату» Яременко. Ревком визнав доцільність формування українських частин, проте під тиском владивостоцьких більшовиків змушений був відмовитися від реалізації цієї ідеї.

На Амурі з місцевих антиколчаковських партизан — селян українського походження — сформувалося кілька частин, і одна з них увійшла під жовто-блакитним прапором в місто Свободний (до 1917 року місто називалося Алексєєвськ, на честь спадкоємця й сина Миколи II). Однак місцеві більшовики зажадали роззброєння цього загону, пригрозивши в іншому випадку використати проти нього військову силу.

У ніч з 4 на 5 квітня 1920 року японці почали відкриту окупацію Владивостока й Примор'я. У Владивостоку японський військовий загін вилучив зброю та боєприпаси з приміщення так званого «Українського революційного штабу». У результаті цих подій нечисленні сформовані українські частини Владивостока пішли в ліси, де згодом злилися з червоними партизанами.

У жовтні 1922 року червона армія зайняла Владивосток і до грудня всі найбільш активні діячі далекосхідного українського руху були заарештовані.

Чисельність
Чисельність українців у округах Далекосхідного краю за даними перепису 1926 р.:

Динаміка чисельності українців в регіонах Далекого Сходу в 1959—2010 рр. згідно з даними переписів населення:

Після розпаду СРСР офіційне число українців знижувалося через еміграції в ін. регіони РФ, репатріації в Україну, мовної та культурної асиміляції, проте фактична чисельність жителів Далекого Сходу, що мають українське походження значно вище.

Процеси асиміляції обумовлюються розмиванням української самоідентифікації через відсутність достатньої кількості українських національно-культурних центрів, фактичної відсутності освіти українською мовою в Російській Федерації. Українці Далекого Сходу (як і нащадки білоруських, польських переселенців) маючи українське походження і прізвище, вказують свою національність як «росіяни». Це основна причина зменшення офіційної чисельності українців на Далекому Сході за даними переписів.

Top 10 Psychological Anime
Isaga Ninja
Otaku News, Top Anime Lists
anime news, best psychological anime, Code Geass, Death Note, Ergo Proxy, Future Diary, No Game No Life, Psycho-Pass, Psychological anime
It's not rare for an anime movie/series to come at the audience with unbelievable plot twists, crazy characters, and even "psychological warfare" – that's a huge part of the genre. In today's top 10 psychological anime list, you'll find an impressive collection of equally twisted and beautiful tales that will linger on long after the end titles.
Be careful, though, as most of these series are quite intense and will, most certainly, leave a strong mark. Yes, anime isn't only about funny faces and comedy stories; sometimes, it takes storytelling to a whole another level, proving once again that the Japanese know how to create "hook-heavy" franchises.
Alright, without further ado, let us go ahead and take a closer look at the top 10 psychological anime. If you're a fan of the genre and have some of your own favorites, please, don't hesitate to share your personal list of the best of the best in the comments section. Hopefully, you'll find our list equally interesting. One more thing: we didn't want to make a gigantic post, which is exactly why the 10-4 come without any details (we will focus on the top-3 more).
#10 – No Game No Life
#9 – Code Geass
#8 – Ergo Proxy
#7 – Grisaia no Kajitsu
#6 – Zetsuen no Tempest
#5 – Monster
#4 – Death Parade
That's quite an impressive list, isn't it? Personally, we really love Code Geass and Ergo Proxy, because those series are just what the doctor ordered. Intriguing, fascinating, and with a healthy dose of crazy, they are capable of taking you away into different worlds and never letting go.
No Game No Life is also very captivating, especially if you've got a soft spot for stories about mind games and strong will. But hey – that was only the beginning of our top 10 psychological anime post. Now it's time to check out the winners!
#3 – Future Diary
This cyberpunk series is unbelievably stylish and has been compared to the iconic movie Minority Report more than once. The fans of the genre will definitely appreciate Future Diary.
Madness, desperation, moral deprivation, and a light at the end of the tunnel – that's what this masterpiece is all about. Chaos is everywhere, and it drives every single person crazy. In order to survive, one has to go through a never-ending struggle against his/her own self.
#2 – Psycho-Pass
The title says it all. We encourage you to stop for a second and check out the official trailer on YouTube. It's capable of impressing even the most skeptical viewers. In this world, it never stops raining, and no matter where you go, trouble will always follow. A Psycho-Pass means that you are totally normal; on the other hand, if the system finds you dangerous for society, special agents will come knocking on your door.
