We are delighted to announce the first day of St. Barbara Church School to be conducted on Saturday, September 8, starting at approximately 11:45 am. Classes will be held after the Feast Day Liturgy for the Nativity of the Theotokos which begins at 10:00 am. We ask parents to plan on bringing their children to the Liturgy as we begin our semester with the first major liturgical celebration of the new Church year. In addition, we ask that the children bring a light snack with them for after the service, prior to the start of class.
This year's curriculum will be the OCA's Department of Christian Education's newest publication: "Saints who were Physicians and Healers," focusing on men and women known in our Tradition as Wonderworking and Unmercenary Saints. For the parents whose children are able to participate this year, packets of material will also be provided. These can be used at home for further education. Please see Matushka Christine (our Church School Coordinator) for more information.
This month our monthly Council Meeting will be conducted on Sunday, September 16, during the latter part of Coffee Hour. General Confession will be conducted on Wednesday, September 19 at 6 pm, just prior to Vespers.
We are happy to announce that a Fall Schedule has been worked out so that Fr. Chrysostom Arthur will be serving our Mission of Archangel Gabriel with the celebration of Great Vespers and Divine Liturgy on the 4th weekend of each month. This month, September 22 and 23. We hope that after January 1st Fr. Chrysostom's schedule might allow for more flexibility thus increasing both our exposure to the Azle Community and our chances for growth.
We pray for the servants of God, Nikita Eliseev and Emma Drew to be wed on Sunday, October 7, at 3:30 pm at St. Seraphim Cathedral. St. Barbara's choir will sing while Fr. Basil will be the main celebrant. We congratulate Nikita, Emma and their families and wish them many blessed years!
With the start of the new Liturgical Year, we look forward to the first two major feast days of the Church on September 8 and September 14. In addition, we will begin Church School classes on Saturday, September 8 at after the Festal Divine Liturgy. Looking ahead, however, St. Barbara's Annual Parish Ministries Fair will be conducted in October or early November (specific date to be announced). The event will be held during a Sunday Coffee Hour from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm. More information will be forthcoming.
During upcoming Fall travels, we encourage members of St. Barbara's to visit Orthodox Churches for Sundays and feasts in whatever city they may find themselves. In addition, we ask that during the Fall months members make a special effort to remember Church pledges and offerings, and perhaps even look into contributions that can now be made on-line through the St. Barbara website. Such efforts are greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you.


"My heart broke last night upon hearing the news. Natalie Corona, was widely recognized to be a rising star among her fellow police officers in the Davis community. Her service was so much more than a job. She committed herself completely to protecting the Davis Community as an officer, and also committed her personal time to working for us all.
We will, without a doubt, miss her dedication and passion for public safety. Yet, I know that nothing we are feeling could possibly compare to the grief of her family at this time. I am grieving with the Davis community and with Natalie's family. Our community is shaken, and we will struggle for a long time to process what happened.
I would like to also express my deep gratitude to the first responders from Davis, Dixon, Fairfield, and Vacaville who bravely took to the scene while an active shooter was still on the loose.
Today, as we deal with the pain and anger we are feeling about the terrible loss of such a young, promising public servant, we should all focus on supporting Natalie's family, her colleagues, and our whole community, including Arbuckle, where Natalie grew up.
One thing is clear: We are hearing news of gun violence terrifying and ripping apart our communities far too often. Enough is enough. I know that my constituents are tired of hearing leaders offer thoughts and prayers, but taking no action.


Snow melts at different speeds across Canada, but as soon as spring hits your city, it's a good time to think about protecting our belongings so they are not subject to water damage due to flooding.
Whether you have melting mountains of snow looming outside your front door or not, none of us have a crystal ball to show us if the spring is going to bring us a flooded basement, garage, yard, or shed.
If you're afraid of potential water damage to your home, or you've had water in your basement in the past, we recommend being proactive about it. Storing your things in a BigSteelBox will help you to rest easy knowing that all your priceless memorabilia is safe and sound should flooding happen.
Don't wait until flooding has started to take steps to control damage. Rent a secure storage container, like a BigSteelBox, that is wind, water and rodent-proof to store basement furniture, tools or valuable items.
If you don't have room for a storage container on your property, or if you anticipate water levels preventing you from opening the Box, you can have your loaded container moved to a secure BigSteelBox storage facility to keep items safe in the event of a flood. You'll still have access to your belongings and we can redeliver your Box whenever you like.
Electrical tools can be a safety hazard when exposed to water. Store any unnecessary electric tools, like a lawn mower or power drill, outside of your home in a secure storage container. Make sure the fuel is removed prior.
If you do experience a flood in your home, be sure to take safety precautions such as to turn off all water and electrical sources to your home, wear protective gear if you enter the home, and contact a restoration company as soon as possible for an inspection. Here are more tips on what to do after a flood in your home.
In cases of flood damage when an insurance claim is opened, a restoration company will likely be hired to repair the damage. Restoration companies are available to homeowners to consult on what options are available, and ensure their needs are met.
A BigSteelBox Storage Consultant can advise you on the perfect size Box for your storage needs. We'll bring the storage container to you and after it's packed, you can store it at your place or at one of our secure locations. We'll do whatever it takes to keep precious cargo safe!

What of the lives of saints?
It seems strange to us now, but there have been societies where fat was considered beautiful.
Hans Kung, the Catholic theologian, suggests that Jesus was a lay person.
"Tell no man," Jesus said often. He knew the secret that what we keep secret controls us.
A prophet is a teacher and a transmitter of truth.

Mentor and Consultant, Mel Larsen shares why she is never stuck in the middle when it comes to challenging the organisations, ADA Fellows and international clients to question, question, question and never tire of doing this.
What would it be like if we expected more in the field of diversifying audiences for the arts instead of less? So many times at seminars, conferences and marketing meetings I've heard people say diversifying audiences is hard. While I understand the background to this perception I also can't help wondering what would it be like if we stopped saying it's hard and said something else instead?
What would it take to not just meet but exceed our targets?
What really inspires us about doing this?
What if we decided to take the lead in this area and really go for it?
Questions like these tend to lead to better results and a more enjoyable process.
As a coach I know if we say something is going to be hard then like a self-fulfilling prophecy, it will surely be. So I encouraged my fellows on this round of Audience Diversity Academy to believe in change, believe in themselves and to think big. Inside that context, they took on a series of small 'experiments' that would lead to new ideas, results and strategies and of course new audiences.
It was a pleasure to support their journey of discovery. Very often they surprised themselves with what they could achieve by taking this approach. Many surpassed their targets: from quadrupling the normal number of audiences with disability for a show, to doubling audiences for an annual community event, to creating a family afternoon for over fifty local refugees on a first-time visit, to attracting five times the number of 'disability access buddies' initially hoped for – it was clear they really went for it.
Their success left me wondering what would it be like if everybody decided to just go for it and do what it takes to open up our cultural spaces for all to enjoy? It all starts with choosing to win. If as a cultural sector we decide we will stop at nothing until we find out what it will take to truly diversify our audiences, then change will not be not as hard as we think.

Protagonist This is the main character, the character who changes throughout the story. The protagonist doesn't necessarily have to be human, but the protagonist does need to grow and become different by the end of the story.
Antagonist This is what stands in the way of the protagonist accomplishing his story goal. The human antagonist doesn't need to be a villain per se, only prevent the protagonist from obtaining his goal. The most interesting stories are those when the antagonist also has good qualities and may even struggle to fight the bad within him.
Plot The events that move the story forward toward its conclusion.
Story Goal The protagonist must have a goal. The goal must be important enough to the protagonist that he will sacrifice to obtain that goal. The goal must be obvious to the reader so that the reader will side with the protagonist in his attempt to reach his goal.
Conflict Each story must have conflict. Without conflict there is no story. Conflict may come in the form of man vs. man, man vs. himself, man vs. fate/God/the universe, or man vs. society. The conflict must affect the protagonist adversely.
Obstacles Closely related to conflict are the obstacles that the protagonist encounters on his path to reach his goal. Obstacles may be in the form of other people, time, the character's own weaknesses, or anything else that prevents the protagonist from obtaining his goal.
Story Arc A fiction story must evolve, it cannot remain static. An entire book about mundane happenings would not provide interesting reading and probably wouldn't even be published. The story must move forward and be active.
Scene A scene is moment-by-moment action. A scene includes everything that happens and brings the reader into the action of the story.
Sequel As opposed to a scene, sequel is the follow-up to a scene and is when events are only summarized. Long segments of time can elapse in a sequel and the reader doesn't experience the action as he does in a scene.
Once you begin to understand the mechanics, you can write fiction that has a better chance of publication.
What should you do when you want to write a book?
First thing "Keep your day job." To publish and promote your books takes money and sometimes lots of it. Promotion may include travel, business cards, bookmarkers, renting tables at fairs, posters, and free copies for reviews, etc. Most reviewers will require one or more free copies of your book, and so will any contests you enter. You will also need to provide most interviewers with a free copy or your book.
Once upon a time the publishing houses helped you promote your book. In our day reality is becoming quite different. In many cases the author pays for tickets, gas, and hotels. If you write fantasy, you will want to promote your books in many fantasy fairs. The best ones will charge from $50 up to much more, often $200 for the right to have a table. This is without counting the need for someone to help you and the cost of food and gas.
Now that that is out of the way, let's get down to writing.
Make a habit of writing every day even if it is only for a few minutes or a few phrases. This exercise will keep you in tune with the story and your characters.
Have friends look at your stories for common grammatical errors. You can tell them that you will put their name in your book if they get it back to you in three weeks, as a way of acknowledging their work.
Join a local chapter of a writer's organization and learn from them. Usually they have members that will coach you to be a better author, and you will always learn from others experiences.
Join a group of critics and submit chapters for their review. You have to learn to accept negative comments along with the good ones. Critique others' books and read those submitted by and for other authors. I have learned a lot by doing this.
Register on sites that promote blogging and maintain an active profile. Start blogs so people can get familiar with your name or rather your pseudonym. Two blogs a week that are no longer than 15 lines is good.
Write articles and small stories to send to everyone who has a press (online magazines, newspapers, university presses, etc.) Keep a folder with all the articles or stories anyone has printed for you.
Try a few of these items every day until you can feel comfortable doing all of them. Writing a book is the easy part… getting it published and then promoting it once it is published is a different ball game and a very demanding one.
That's a question we all need to ask ourselves. If the answer is no, then you should find something else to do with your time. If the answer is yes, then you need to evaluate what that "yes" means.
Do you want to write when it's convenient? When you have nothing else to do? Only when inspiration hits? Are you willing to sacrifice other things to write?
I've always wanted to write. I started in elementary school with a bound journal. My "book" was a mystery based on the Encyclopedia Brown series. I even illustrated it. Junior high hit me hard and I put aside my writing.
In high school, I took a creative writing class that triggered my desire to write again. But, when I went to college, I forgot about writing while I studied and then graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
I married and started a family. While raising my young children, I knitted, crocheted, gardened, and took piano lessons. I then took a creative writing class at a local community college and realized that if I wanted to write, I had to stop waiting for the perfect time and just be committed enough to it to sacrifice the other things I liked to do. Of course, my family always came first (and still does), but I gave up knitting, crafts, piano, training horses, and scrapbooking to concentrate on writing.
I signed up for online forums, took online classes, attended workshops, and read book after book on writing techniques. I also read books in the genre in which I hoped to write. It took time, especially as I squeezed it in between raising my growing family and caring for my aging grandparents. It wasn't easy, but I learned a valuable lesson.
We can make time for that which we feel is important. People will say, "I just don't have time to write." If you find yourself saying that, you may not be as committed to writing as you believe you are. We make time every day to exercise, watch TV, go to movies, play computer games, surf Facebook, write and read emails, or thousands of other activities that use up our time. Writing may mean giving up some of those things.
And, really, if you're committed enough to writing, you won't miss them.
Being a writer means parking your behind in the chair and writing. Day after day, week after week, year after year–even when it's hard, especially when it's hard, and working through it all to your finished product. Writers write.
So, ask yourself, do you really want to write?

Your living room is your sanctuary. It's an intimate space that should be equal parts simplicity, comfort, and your personal style. Living room hardwood floors should fall in line with this philosophy, as they're (literally) the foundation of the entire room.
Sleek floors with a simple grain pattern are great if your style is patterned, plush and luxurious. This way, your floors won't compete for attention. If your style is easygoing and neutral in color, then you may want yourhardwood floors to be more of a focal point. You can achieve this by choosing varying plank widths or a species with a pronounced and distressed grain, or even a couple different species that contrast with one another! This is where your personality comes in, because the living room is where you are completely free to be yourself.

Home Politics 'It's A Criminal Offence' – INEC Cautions Those Selling Their PVC To Politicians
'It's A Criminal Offence' – INEC Cautions Those Selling Their PVC To Politicians
By adminDec 14, 2022, 11:47 am0
As the 2023 general elections keep drawing ever closer, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has issued a warning to Nigerians.
The INEC said it is aware that some politicians are engaged in buying up Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) from "poverty-stricken Nigerians."
INEC warned that anyone caught selling his or her PVC violates the Electoral Act and would be dragged to court and face prosecution.
The body, which raised the alarm on Monday, also revealed that those desperate politicians were financially inducing unsuspecting voters to harvest their Voter Identification Numbers.
The electoral umpire disclosed the absurdity during the launch of #YourVoteMatters project in Abuja.
INEC National Commissioner overseeing the FCT, Nasarawa, Kaduna and Plateau states, Mohammed Haruna, who raised the alarm revealed that two people had been convicted for illegal possession of PVCs in Sokoto and Kano states.
Haruna said: "We are aware some politicians are more or less buying the PVCs. If you collect the PVC and then you sell it out or allow someone else to have it, you are aiding illegal possession of the PVC which is an offence in our Electoral Act.
"Some of you are aware that only recently, INEC managed to convict two people, who were found guilty of illegal possession of PVCs in Kano and Sokoto. So, I urge people to collect their PVCs, keep it safe, and make sure that on Election Day, you go out there and cast your votes because, of course, without your PVC you cannot vote."
The project which is supported by the International Foundation for Electoral System, IFES, the United States Agency for International Development, USAID, and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, FCDO, seeks to assist INEC in increasing the number of PVCs collected ahead of the 2023 general elections as well as the voters mobilised on Election Day.

And, of course, our full range of stylish, fun and value-packed cars, SUVs and pick-up trucks."
Highlights of the Toyota booth include:
The Canadian premiere of the sexy and sporty Toyota C-HR. This high-riding coupe features an avant-garde physique, a modern and comfortable cabin, and bold, outgoing performance. The Toyota C-HR arrives in Canada this year.
The North American premiere of Toyota COMS – an ultra-compact electric vehicle that's already on sale in Japan and being tested in Europe. Toyota COMS is designed specifically to help reduce congestion and improve air quality by making it easier – and cleaner – for people to run errands in city centres or get around neighbourhoods or corporate campuses. Two Toyota COMS models will be on display – a passenger version and a cargo version. Each has a 50 km range and top speed of 60 km/h.
The all-new Toyota Prius Prime. This plug-in hybrid – making its Canadian auto show debut – is the most fuel-efficient vehicle currently offered in Canada, according to federal government testing (NRCAN). It joins the Toyota Prius, which was completely redesigned in 2016.
The Toyota FCV Plus Concept. Making its Canadian auto show debut, this hydrogen fuel cell concept expresses Toyota's vision to help decarbonize the auto industry. The Toyota FCV Plus Concept vehicle also functions as a portable generator – able to power a home, or join forces with other FCV Plus Concept vehicles to provide clean energy for an entire community.
The Toyota Mirai. This hydrogen fuel cell sedan is a production model – already on sale in California, Japan and in parts of Europe. The Mirai delivers plenty of clean power, with water vapor as its only tailpipe emission.
The Toyota TS050 Hybrid racing car. Built to Le Mans prototype specs, this fast ride allows Toyota to test and perfect hybrid systems and other advanced technologies in the competitive FIA World Endurance Championship.
The Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) virtual reality simulator: This interactive display allows Canadians to explore TSS and learn how these advanced technologies extend their abilities behind the wheel, to make driving safer for everyone.
In addition, the Toyota booth will have a full range of vehicles on display – including the Toyota Corolla sedan and Toyota Corolla iM hatchback, the refreshed Toyota Highlander midsize crossover, the updated Toyota Sienna minivan, the Toyota 86 authentic sports coupe, the Toyota TRD Pro family of trucks factory-customized for extreme off-roading, and more.

GUNS UP! is exclusive to PlayStation 4.
Many console gamers dismiss the Free-to-Play games that garnish the PlayStation Store. With more and more of these games popping up I delve into the latest offering from Valkyrie Entertainment and Sony San Diego in the form of GUNS UP!
GUNS UP! follows an extremely simple premise of building a base and attacking others made by real people, all the while slowly gaining the in-game currency of ammunition and gold to spend on upgrades to both personnel and your own base. You can continually attack other bases but the harder the base, the more ammunition it costs to launch the invasion. There is always a free buy-in opponent but your rewards are reduced, still a viable option for new players.
Controls are very simple to understand and after a few minutes with the game, it becomes second nature. As you can see by the graphics, the interface is big, bright, and easy to navigate as well so no problems there either. It might seem daunting the very first time you play but the tutorial does an excellent job of guiding you through everything you will need to know.
When building, you have a finite area to place your various offensive and defensive buildings, traps, and decorations. This also has a limit that slowly increases as the game progresses. As you attack the almost countless bases, you begin to see many different and effective layouts. Some players choose to force you into a bottleneck, others create a line of gun emplacements and sniper towers.
I found myself wanting to upgrade my varied defences but it all costs money (ammunition) and it takes time and effort to get that, unless of course you buy it from the PlayStation Store. "No, that's not fair!" I hear you cry, and I would agree, apart from the fact that the game is balanced exceptionally well.
The more you upgrade and add to the base and soldiers in your command, the higher your skill level becomes. As you are only ever matched with players around that skill level, the game remains fair and fun. You still have the option to wage war slightly above your difficulty for a harder and more rewarding battle, or a smidge below for an easier fight and obviously less incentive.
You can also test your base against a never-ending onslaught from the CPU, with rewards every thirty seconds. It can be a very addictive and enjoyable way of testing your base and gaining some lovely cards and ammo at the same time.
Oh my, after all this time I never properly mentioned the cards. Before each battle, you can use a set amount of cards. These do a wide variety of things including increasing the health of your army or even adding a missile strike special to you list. You can even combine cards to make better ones or swap out a few rarely used ones for, with any luck, a better one.
You begin your battle far from the enemy base. Your supply truck automatically trundles toward it and the camera can only stray so far from it. So knowing what lays ahead and when to launch special attacks and unleash various type of soldiers becomes key to winning the battle.
You don't have any control of your army unless you have a focus fire or rally point cards. It can be agonising to watch them fall into a trap or stumble into the sights of a sniper. Worse still your little guys can also get hurt by your own special attacks. I have often yelled at the screen as they advanced quicker than I anticipated, right into my poorly placed missile strike.
You'll see explosions, helmets knocked off by a barrage of gunfire, tear gas choking the life out of the poor little soldiers, blood soaked ground, and all the other things you would expect from a war game, just with cute cartoon graphics that make the carnage look fun.
You can choose to turn the gore off but most will never bother. It isn't really that bad, just some blood splatters and cartoon violence. Nice to have the option I always say. I have noticed the framerate stutter a little when it gets crazy but nothing that hurts the gameplay.
The use of color is very nice. Gentle hues of purple and blue wash over the bold green grass and shrubbery when the unseen sun goes down. With the bright flash of a missile as it strikes its target, or the warm glow of a fire burning over the ruined remains of an enemy structure as the smoke billows into the sky, the carnage is almost picturesque in its own way.
GUNS UP! features some entertaining music that fits very well with the game but isn't anything to write home about. What I really like is the audio used for the explosions, machinegun fire, and all that jazz. It works exceedingly well in keeping with the entire feeling and look of the game.
This is an asynchronous multiplayer game. This means it connects to an online server so it can store everyone's base and soldier information, including your own, so everyone can fight each other regardless of them being online. I really like this aspect of the game and it means I am never waiting to find players. I can always jump right into the action.
When you're offline, people can invade your base and, depending on their outcome, you'll get rewards and ammo. However, there is a maximum of three attacks while you're away so it pays to jump back into the game every so often. In addition, you can always retaliate against those who try to vanquish your army for even more bonuses.
This aspect of the game is what keeps me playing. It is very easy to become wrapped up with perfecting your base and attacking others just so you can build up your ammo and upgrade the weak link in your base.
Like any Free-to-Play game, GUNS UP! has that pull toward spending real money on the PlayStation Store. Have I spent any actual money? Not yet, but I am very tempted. I have never felt the need to pay real money, just the want.
Each battle only lasts a couple of minutes but every single one is different and always fun. I can easily see myself coming back to this almost every day with the intention of having a quick go and spending hours tweaking my base and decimating others.
If you're going to play one Free-to-Play game this year, make sure it's GUNS UP!

Swan 56 La Floresta Del Mar breaks the Super Zero stronghold of the 2009 Fastnet Race and wins her class.
Over 500 years after Sir Francis Drake left his game of Bowls to intercept the invading Spaniards, a Spanish crew got their own back today by sailing into Plymouth to take a well-earned class victory. La Floresta Del Mar, aka Clem, the 10 year old Swan 56 belonging to Jaime Olazabal crossed the finish line at 0330 this morning to win IRC Class 1 Z and be the first boat to punctuate the Super Zero's dominance in the overall standings, beating Beau Geste to 6th place.
Drafting in a mix of Spain's finest onboard obviously helped Olazabal stay on top of the mix of modern Kers and Farrs in their class, including Piet Vroon's latest Ker 46 Tonnerre de Breskens, David Aisher's Yeoman XXXII, and Richard Matthews' Oystercatcher XXVI. The Spanish rockstars included helmsman Jordi Calafat, ex Alinghi strategist and Olympic Gold medalist. Tactics were decided by 'Spain's most experienced yachtsman' Guillermo Altadill, who has an astonishing two Volvo and two Whitbred Races under his belt, six circumnavigations and 18 Atlantic crossings. Alongside Altadill was his Estrella Damm co-skipper for the next Barcelona World Race, Pachi Rivero who stepped in as bowman and trimmer. And having recently completed the last Volvo Ocean Race as Watch Captain on Telefonica Black, Jaime Arbones also made a very handy trimmer and helmsman.

A Rugrats Kwanzaa is a Season 7 episode of Rugrats.
The Carmichaels get a visit from the "Great Aunt T", who came over to celebrate Kwanzaa with the Carmichaels. The holiday, which the Carmichaels normally don't celebrate, celebrates the honor and greatness of the African people. However, Susie feels that she isn't as great as her brothers and sisters, all of them examples of greatness in the Carmichael family. With a little help from the Great Aunt T. and the Rugrats, she learns that everyone is great in their own way, making "Kwonzo" a joyous holiday. We also go back in time, when Aunt T met Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the most unusual place at the side of the road with car trouble, as well as the time Aunt T funded Lucy's tuition money for Harvard Medical School.
Phil: This was the best kwanzo story I've ever heard!
Lil: This was the only kwanzo story you've ever heard.
Susie: Now I know why my mom calls you great aunt T!
Near the start of this episode, Aunt T mentioned that the storm in the Carmichael's neighborhood reminded her of Hurricane Coco in Tahiti. This may be an indirect reference to Coco LaBouche, who was the tyrannical manager of Euro Reptarland in Rugrats in Paris.
Surprisingly, Dil and Angelica do not appear in this 30 minute episode. But Dil appeared in the Kwanzaa bumper for the commercial.
Lucy's mother is voiced by Hattie Winston, Winston previously voiced her daughter in The Rugrats Movie and would later voice her again in All Grown Up.


NOTE: This article was updated to support Angular 5 on December 15th, 2017.
Hosting an AngularJS app is easy; you FTP a handful of files to a static web server and call it a day. But hosting an Angular 2+ app—with its TypeScript code, node_modules dependencies, and "production mode"—is far more complex, and not as simple as a quick upload.
In this article we'll look at one way you can get an Angular web app out to the world quickly using the Angular CLI and GitHub Pages. We'll be using a simple Angular web app, Groceries, as an example of how the process works.
At this year's ng-conf the Angular team unveiled an initial version of the Angular CLI, a command-line interface for building Angular applications. The CLI was built to streamline some of the tedious processes around Angular development, including scaffolding new files, setting up unit testing, and handling app builds.
If you have Node.js installed, installing the CLI is as simple as running npm install.
From there you can create a new app with the ng new command.
And then launch the app in your browser for testing with ng serve.
CSS preprocessor integration, including SASS, LESS, and others.
Overall, the CLI is a convenient way to quickly startup an Angular app. Now that you're setup you're ready to start building.
For a more thorough introduction to what the Angular CLI is and how it works, check out Mike Brocchi's excellent talk on the CLI from ng-conf.
Building your app with the Angular CLI is no different than building an Angular app without the CLI. However, the Angular CLI does provide a helpful ng generate command for scaffolding out new files during development.
TIP: ng g is a shorthand for ng generate, in case you get sick of typing out "generate".
There are a number of other file types you can generate, including directives, pipes, services, and routes. Refer to the Angular CLI docs for details. Once your app is ready to share, let's look at how you can get your app out to the world.
If you're new to Angular there are a number of guides that can help you learn the framework and build your application code. I recommend going through the Tour of Heroes guide on angular.io and John Papa's Pluralsight course.
GitHub Pages is a dead simple way to host static web content for free. Your first step is to create a new repository on GitHub. Here's how I did that with my Angular-built Groceries app.
From there the Angular CLI has already done a lot of the hard work for you. For instance your repo already includes a .gitignore file, which includes a list of files and folders that shouldn't be included in the repository, such as node_modules. In fact, the Angular CLI also already initialized a git repo, and even committed the initial set of files. Therefore to get your code up on GitHub you need to register that new repo using the git remote command.
And then push your code up with the git push command.
At this point your code will be up on GitHub, but your hosted app will not be up on GitHub Pages yet. Luckily there are a few npm packages that can help you get there. My favorite is gh-pages, and you can install it using the following command.
This command creates a global gh-pages command you can you use to publish your application to GitHub Pages. Before running `gh-pages`, you'll first need to build a production-ready version of your application. To do that run the following Angular CLI command.
This command will take a while to complete, as it's performing all the optimizations needed to get your app ready for production usage. When the command finishes, you'll have a new dist folder that contains the production-ready version of your app.
To get that version of your app live on GitHub Pages, go ahead and run the following command.
Within a few minutes your app should be up and running at https://USERNAME.github.io/PROJECT_NAME for the world to see.
That is, unless you deploy a handy little trick.
Earlier this month, Daniel Buchner posted a fun little way he got around the GitHub's lack of support for SPAs.
GitHub Pages redirects all 404 requests to a 404.html page, which you can configure to handle all 404 requests for your static sites. What Buchner discovered is that if you make your 404.html page redirect to your index.html page using a <meta> tag, and at the same time store off the URL the user was attempting to go to, you can return them to that location with a little snippet of code in your index.html file.
Here's what that looks like in action. First here's the 404.html page that you'll want to use. If you're using the Angular CLI you'll want to place this at src/404.html.
Next, include the snippet below in the <head> of your index.html file, which takes the stored URL from session storage, and uses the browser's replaceState() API to redirect the user back to the URL they were attempting to go to in the first place.
Because of GitHub Pages' lack of true support for single-page apps, hosting Angular apps on GitHub is not the greatest idea for production apps, as <meta> tag based redirects are not the greatest from a usability and performance perspective.
However, if you're building up a prototype for a client, or a little app to show your friends and coworkers, the Angular CLI and GitHub Pages making getting a new Angular app live amazingly fast and easy. If you're looking for a reference app feel free to refer to Groceries.
Will Angular be a success? You bet!

Nancy E. Dunlap appointed dean of the University of Virginia School of Medicine
The University of Virginia has named Dr. Nancy E. Dunlap as dean of the School of Medicine . A pulmonologist, Dunlap is physician-in-residence with the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices in Washington, D.C. The appointment is effective May 1.
In announcing her appointment, UVA Executive Vice President and Provost John D. Simon praised Dunlap's distinguished career in academic medicine and her experience in health care policy at both the state and federal levels.
"Dr. Dunlap's strong record of accomplishments as a faculty member, researcher and administrator, coupled with her familiarity with the complex and changing health care environment, makes her the best person to lead the School of Medicine during this important time of transition," Simon said.
Dunlap succeeds Dr. Steven T. DeKosky, who announced last October he would be stepping down from the post to return to teaching full-time. Dunlap is expected to be with the University for at least 18 months as UVA continues the process of hiring a new executive vice president for health affairs. A search for a permanent dean for the School of Medicine will be launched following that appointment.
"I am pleased Dr. Dunlap will begin her work at UVA in May, which will enable her to work closely with Dr. DeKosky over the summer to ensure a seamless transition," Simon said.
Prior to her work with the National Governors Association, Dunlap held numerous appointments with increasing responsibilities at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, most recently as professor of medicine and business. She also served as vice chairman for clinical affairs, vice president of the UAB Health System for Ambulatory Services and chief of staff and chief operating officer for The Kirklin Clinic, a large, multispecialty academic clinic.
As a Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellow, Dunlap worked on the reauthorization of FDA legislation regarding pharmaceuticals, medical devices, biologics, as well as issues related to Medicare, Medicaid, public health, insurance matters, sustainable growth rate and medical liability.
Dunlap received a bachelor of arts degree from Wellesley College; a medical degree from Duke University; a doctoral degree in microbiology from UAB; and an MBA degree with distinction from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
Dunlap will be responsible for the School of Medicine's educational and internal budgetary affairs; for the general welfare and development of its academic programs at all levels; for effective leadership and relations with students, faculty members, alumni and other University persons and entities; and for generally overseeing and leading the proper operation of the School of Medicine. She also will focus on the improvement of quality measures in the areas of safety and quality of care. Dunlap will serve as chief clinical officer for the School of Medicine, and as professor on the clinical faculty in the division of Pulmonary Medicine in the Department of Medicine .

Tennessee hospitals weigh in on state Medicaid block grant proposal
Kelly Gooch - Thursday, October 3rd, 2019
Tennessee could be the nation's first state to overhaul Medicaid funding through a special federal block grant that would split unused program funds between the federal and state government.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee's plan would revamp funding for TennCare, a Medicaid managed care program operated by the state, which provides healthcare for about 1.4 million Tennesseans, primarily low-income pregnant women, children and elderly and disabled people.
Under the state's hybrid block grant funding plan, Tennessee would receive federal Medicaid funding as a set amount per program enrollee, per month, according to the Times Free Press.
"This way if the numbers go up, so would what the federal government would have to pay. If they go down, the request is that the [federal funding amount] would stay the same," explained Craig Becker, president and CEO of the Tennessee Hospital Association.
With a true block grant, the government says: "Here's the money, this is all you get," said Mr. Becker.
The Nashville Business Journal reported that the state and federal government would split leftover money if TennCare spends less than the funding provided by the federal government in a given year. The governor told the Journal this would financially benefit the state — potentially through about $1 billion in additional annual funding for TennCare — based on Tennessee spending about $2 billion less on the program than projected in 2018.
Currently, any leftover money only goes back to the federal government.
But hospitals also have some concerns. For example, they would like to see the plan include some mechanism to allow physicians flexibility in prescribing medicine, said Mr. Becker.
"One thing we're talking about is if you have blood thinners and [the plan] said [the clinician] could only use Warfarin. Some people get sores in their mouth with that medicine and have to use [a different] variety. So, clinicians should be able to be allowed to put that into the medical record and say, 'Here's why I want to prescribe this other drug,'" he said.
The state is now holding a 30-day public comment period before a final proposal is submitted to the federal government for consideration Nov. 20.

A Liberal Democrat view of life in the City of York. This website is edited by Steve Galloway who represented the Westfield area on the City of York Council between 1973 and 2011.
Fake news or wishful thinking?
Council publishes new "Our City" newspaper
No doubt the York Council would be criticised if it failed to keep residents informed about what goes on in the City and how the Council spends taxpayers money. Whether spending £10,000 on putting a magazine through everyone's letterbox represents a prudent use of resources may divide opinion.
The current edition of "Our City" is tidier and therefore more accessible than previous editions. But it fails an important test.
It isn't objective.
Telling people that things are going well when patently many street level public services in the City are far from that, transforms an information source into a propaganda channel.
There are major problems with keeping the streets tidy and free of weeds. The refuse collection service is now chronically unreliable. Many roads and paths are potholed. Some are dangerously obstructed by trees and hedges. These issues don't merit a mention in "Our City".
The Council does praise the hugely expensive community stadium project without telling people precisely when the stadium will come into use. Apparently the IMAX cinema (a plus for the City) will open in December but there is no explanation for the delays that have dogged the future home of York City FC and the York Knights Rugby team.
But the main concern will be the failure to be frank about the risks involved in some of its projects.
The Council is acting as its own housing developer and hopes to build 600 homes in the City over the next few years. It has recruited a significant number of additional staff to do so. It could have used local companies to undertake the work but chose not to. It is a high risk venture but, at the end of the day, in York any new homes will be occupied one way or another.
The same can't be said about the £20 million Guildhall redevelopment. There is little evidence to suggest that a "business club" is needed in the City and even less that the York Council would be the best organisation to manage one.
The "Our City" article disingenuously talks of the project generating £848,000 a year in rents. It fails to point out that would involve renting out all the available space and that, even then, the income would be barely sufficient to pay the interest payments on the money that the Council intends to borrow to fund the scheme!
Sadly similar mistakes have been made in the past. £12 million was spent on the Barbican concert hall. The Council chose to manage that facility itself despite a complete lack of experience in the field. It later turned out that the hall manager had failed to apply for an entertainments licence for the building and had operated it unlawfully for several months. The Barbican ran at a loss of £800,000 a year and eventually had to be sold on to the private sector.
Whether anyone will come forward to rescue the Guildhall project remains to be seen.

Q: Python program.py vs Pasting code not passing basic installed authentication I am wanting to open a webpage of a internal webpage for a reporting tool called statseeker, that stores images that are generated from a report ran when a URL is opened. So far I am at this:
import urllib
import urllib2
import lxml, lxml.html

ID = '4050'

PorS = '1'

base_link = 'http://statseeker/cgi/nim-report?rid=42237&command=Graph&mode=ping&list=jc-'

dash = '-'

end_link =  '&tfc_fav=range+%3D+start_of_today+-+1d+to+now%3B&year=&month=&day=&hour=&minute=&duration=&wday_from=&wday_to=&time_from=&time_to=&tz=America%2FChicago&tfc=range+%3D+start_of_today+-+1d+to+now%3B&rtype=Delay&graph_type=Filled&db_type=Average&x_step=1&interval=60&y_height=100&y_gridlines=5&y_max=&y_max_power=1&x_gridlines=on&legend=on'

urlauth = base_link + ID + dash + tPorS + end_link

print urlauth

realm = 'statseeker'
username = 'username'
password = '*******'
auth_handler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
auth_handler.add_password(realm, urlauth, username, password)
opener = urllib2.build_opener(auth_handler)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
data = opener.open(urlauth).read()

html = lxml.html.fromstring(data)
imgs = html.cssselect('img.graph')
for x in imgs:
   y = 'http://statseeker%s' % (x.attrib['src'])
   urllib.urlretrieve(y, 'test.jpg')
   print 'http://statseeker%s' % (x.attrib['src'])
   with open('statseeker.html', 'a') as f:
    f.write(y)

When I run this manually in python by copy and paste the code executes fine.
When I save this as grab.py and run it via CMD python grab.py It asks me to login again at line urllib.urlretrieve(y, 'test.jpg')
So I am deducing that this for some reason is not passing it's authentication from
opener = urllib2.build_opener(auth_handler)
    urllib2.install_opener(opener)

But I do not know why.

He declared his loyalty to Isis and attacked amaricans in orlando just like Isis wanted. They said there was going to be an attack in Florida prior. And we'll he took that to heart and planned his attack.
Do you think that he was working directly with ISIS to coordinate this attack? Or that he was a lone wolf acting on his own behalf?
I'm curious because I'm still on the fence about that. I'm even half-wondering if he was coordinating an attack directly with ISIS, and that he was told to attack Disney World during their gay pride events next month... but maybe he went rogue, either because he got spooked at Disney World (who became suspicious of him and reported his activities to authorities), or just because he preferred the "two-fer" -- jihad AND revenge in one.
Other than taking credit for it, I really haven't heard much else from ISIS. I really haven't looked either.

So, everything Mateen did over the course of his life was planning for some terrorist event like the Pulse mass-murder?
He "cased out" Disney according to the wife. (1 park) (Wanna bet he was there for Gay Days?)
What "restricted areas" did he try to gain access to? When? How?
You just have no basis for making the statement that he "wouldn't have been selective in who he shot." There's no logic to it.
No one here is trying to "separate the gay community" that's been done to us. What I find appalling are the folks who obviously are doing everything they can to minimize the fact that this was primarily a HATE CRIME and that the LGBT community was ATTACKED .... particularly, I find it appalling that suddenly when it fits the political agenda of the Right wing, now suddenly LGBT are Americans who were attacked ... when the same folks have been trying for years to keep us classified as second-class citizens, advocating violence against us, etc. etc.

Well according to the LGBT, if you disagree even on minor points, you are a homosexual, or lesbian or Trans or whatever. They have a lot labels for themselves and everyone else yet they speak of diversity.. SHM..
Now, they have this massacre to deal with and they refuse to consider looking in the mirror. They continue to blame the one they fear most, Jesus..
They are an absurd bunch.
a reply to: Gryphon66
Ok now I get where you are coming from. This is all about you and your lifetime struggle for recognition as a member of the glbt community.
No need to discuss this event further with you. What actually happened in orlando has nothing to do with what you want this to be.
Consider the source, folks -- Pamela Geller -- and take it for what it is at this point:
Recovered Phones from Pulse Nightclub Have Recordings of Orlando Jihadi Talking to Co-Conspirator Regarding Tactics
Catherine Herridge of Fox News is reporting that victims inside the club say that Omar Mateen was talking on the phone to a co-conspirator. They recorded it on their phones. This latest revelation is coming from the victims.
I could not find anything about this on Catherine Herridge's Fox News page, but this article added a new twist:
Source: Orlando attacker's ties to American suicide bomber in Syria 'deeper' than thought
Fox News was told the relationship as well as the Mateen case in general are "very complex" but would not go further, citing the sensitivity of the FBI investigation and classified information.
The source said the bomber's return to Florida in 2013 is under fresh scrutiny as well.
Given the current discussion, is "very complex" code for "gay lovers" and they just don't want to say so? Does it not fit their preferred narrative? We are talking about an administration with noted Muslim sympathies... would it be considered an insult to the religion as a whole to reveal the homosexuality of Mateen?
ETA: If he did have an accomplice, my first and best guess is that it was his wife. THAT's who he was talking to on the phone. Witnesses have told us that he spoke to police, a reporter, and a friend. The FBI has told us that he spoke to his wife... but witnesses have not said that... but only because they had no way of knowing he was talking to his wife. But the FBI would.
edit on 23-6-2016 by Boadicea because: (no reason given)
Excellent, that will save me wasting my time on thoughtful responses to someone who's only agenda is denial.
Sidenote: Your hate is showing. You forgot to wrap it in the flag this time.

I realize this is probably a drive-by post to excrete some LGBT hate, but ... we're blaming Jesus for Mateen's mass-murder spree?
How d'ya figure?

Arthritis drug may improve early stages of heart disease
London, Sep 5, 2020-
Drugs used to treat initial signs of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can also improve the early stages of heart disease, according to a new study.
Having rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is known to at least double the chances of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) because of links to atherosclerosis (a build-up of plaque inside the arteries), heart failure and strokes.
The study, published in the journal Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, linked treatment of RA with improvements in vascular stiffness – an indicator of CVD.
"Our research shows that even at the earliest stages of rheumatoid arthritis, there is increased vascular stiffness in people with no or minimal traditional CVD risk factors such as hypertension, high cholesterol or smoking," said study author Sven Plein from the University of Leeds in the UK.
For the study, the research team had set out to explore possible connections between the very earliest signs of RA and indicators of CVD. Detailed MRI heart scans were given to 82 patients with no known heart issues.
The scans revealed the presence of increased vascular stiffness in the aorta, which is a gradual loss of elasticity in the large arteries, compared to healthy people.There was also evidence of cardiac scarring and changes in the wall of the left ventricle (the heart's main pumping chamber), suggesting heart abnormalities had started before the RA diagnosis.
After their initial scans, the 82 patients were given one of two RA drug courses. After a year of treatment, further scans were then carried out on 71 of the patients.The scans revealed that the vascular stiffness of the aorta (the main artery) had improved during the RA therapy.
"The rheumatoid arthritis treatment improved vascular stiffness, regardless of how the patient responded to the RA medication and these improvements in vascular stiffness independently of response to RA treatment were unexpected," Plein said.
The research highlights the importance of commencing treatment of RA early to also lessen the risk of developing CVD.
"Identifying patients at the earliest stage of RA with most risk of CVD is important to inform management strategy," said study researcher Maya Buch.
"The benefits of RA treatment on CVD extend beyond traditional suppression of inflammation," Buch noted. (Agency)

Q: Kendo Grid: avoid dataSource read() when exporting to excel I have a page with a Kendo Grid. The read method from the dataSource calls a custom REST API which takes around 15 seconds and returns over 2,000 records.
When the user hits the "Export" button, by looking at the browser's Network tab, I see that the read method is triggered again.
Why isn't the export feature using the records that have already been loaded? I tried removing the pageSize and allPages properties but nothing has changed.
Is this Kendo's default behavior? If so, are there any workarounds so that the service is not called again?
HTML:
<div kendo-grid="grid"

JS:
$scope.grid = {
    dataSource: {
        transport: {
            read: {
                url: "/...",
                cache: false
            }
        },
        schema: { ... },
        pageSize: 20
    },
    toolbar: ["excel"],
    excel: {
        fileName: "xxx.xlsx",
        allPages: true
    }
};

A:
When the allPages option is set to true and serverPaging is enabled,
  the Grid will make a "read" request for all data. If the data items
  are too many the browser may become unresponsive. Consider
  implementing server-side export for such cases.

With a new furnace, added insulation and duct repairs, Lynne is finally comfortable in her own home. And healthier too—her skin condition which was caused by the cold has cleared up.
Lynne Yale is 73 years old and lives on a fixed income. She moved to Hillsboro 13 years ago. During the first winter in her Hillsboro house, she noticed that the furnace was not very effective. If she put the thermostat at 68, it never got very warm and her heating bills skyrocketed. She couldn't afford to buy and install a new furnace, but she also couldn't afford the high heating bills caused by her old inefficient system.
So she tried to make do. She kept her thermostat at 60. She closed all the vents and doors to other rooms in the house in an effort to get more heat into her living space. Lynne is an artist and works with her hands. Using her sewing skills, she made a fleece band for her ears and a fleece cover for her nose to wear during the day. She wore fingerless gloves as well. She also used a space heater to try to take the edge off of the cold.
Even with all of this creative problem solving, Lynne had difficulty. Over time, her fingertips became red and swollen. She went to the doctor and was diagnosed with pernio, a skin condition caused by cold exposure. Her doctor told her to turn up her heat, but she couldn't do that given her circumstances.
Because of supporters like you, Lynne sought help from our Energy Conservation program. Our Energy Auditors came out to Lynn's house and found multiple problems. Her heat system ducts were broken, twisted, and leaking. She had little insulation in her attic. She had no fans in the bathroom - a situation that is conducive to mold growth.
Because of your support, Community Action was able to make the duct repairs, install fans in the bathrooms, blow insulation into the attic, and insulate pipes and duct work. But the best news for Lynne was that they were able to provide and install a new furnace. She was thrilled. She had no idea that a new furnace was even a possibility with this program.
Lynne is so grateful to be comfortable in her own home after 13 years of suffering with the cold. She now keeps her thermostat at 68, and the temperature actually gets to 68 throughout the house. She has discarded her homemade fleece wear, her skin condition on her fingers has cleared up, and she can now work on her art in a healthy environment.

(MA) Transmission DVD/BD
This is one of those slow burn dramas (excuse the pun) that Australian directors do so well.
Writer/director Jonathan Teplitzky has crafted an excellent and intimate film about a man who is burdened by a painful past and tends to make those around him pay for it.
Tom (Matthew Goode) – an English chef working in Bondi — is a prickly character getting over some memories that have left lasting emotional scars.
Clever imagery in the opening frames has Tom caught in a car accident and all the groceries in the car raining down on him. This is of course is a metaphor for what transpires in the film, but food is also used cleverly to trigger snippets of memory – good and painful – as the film progresses.
The film is structured in a non-linear fashion, jumping around (and is masterfully edited) but carefully builds Tom's story up layer by layer. In this way despite the films bravado, risqué drama and its tendency to become maudlin in the first half, it's soulful centre is revealed carefully and intimately as the film progresses.
The most clever aspect of the film is the use of food as a metaphor for memory, some to eat and relish, others to cast away and forget. Amplified in the opening scene and then carried through the film, this is a clever device that helps the film pivot around Tom's axis. Memories – good and not so good — are triggered as Tom works in the kitchen. This is an amazing visual device that drives the narrative of the film and helps build an intimate portrait of its main character.
As the subject of the film, Matthew Goode's performance is admirable. In a role that slowly builds sympathy, he is able to carry off the early hedonistic scenes and the emotionally charged moments, humanising and endearing the viewer to his character.
The film is rated for its intense content, but rest assured Burning Man is a compassionate, intimate, innovative drama that shouldn't be missed.
