Q: how to return a string in a specific format in classes? Let's say I have a class of Books which I already defined the init. I want my str to return the books in this format:
'Book("Dr.!Seuss",!"The!Cat!in!the!Hat",!"12345")'
I have this:
def __str__(self):
   return 'Books( title={0}'.format(self.title)

I haven't checked if it works. Which is another question. How do I check if it works as in how do I create something that contains books?

A: Do something like this:
li=['Dr.','Seuss','The','Cat','in','the','Hat','12345']
print('Book({})'.format('!'.join(li)))

The countdown to 2017 is on, and you know what it means! It's time to strut your best style and pull out all the stops! From sequin dresses to velvet jumpsuits, there isn't one right way to do New Year's Eve style. You can firstly remix the items you already have in your closet. After all, it's easier to track down an accessory or two than to start searching for a brand-new dress. Secondly, play with textures and innovative effects to create the perfect style can use to revitalize your new year's eve outfit. Finally, if you're still in need of a last-minute idea, find these pieces bellow to help you ring in the new year in style.
For an outfit worthy of a glamorous, champagne-fueled soiree, meet t his daring, surrealist aesthetic, Moschino dress which looks more va-va-voom when you add big barrel curls and a pair of over-the-knee boots for the playful and provocative style. Plus, you can never go wrong with sparkles and sequins. So, when in outfit-doubt, add something sparkly!
Fauna boots that are crafted to skim the tops of the thighs. You can consider them as an ornate partner to a tonal mini dress.
It's easy to see the choker's appeal: it's a cool-girl nod to '90s grunge, it doesn't interfere with your outfit, it complements everything. Wear it combined with doubled-up earrings and slicked-back hair. Plus, you can dress your LBD up with a dainty choker like this Ettika Velvet Star choker and suede pumps, just rock it girl!
Sometimes, all you need are the right party accessories. From tinsel and glitter to sparkly headbands and black felt top hats, go nuts with the accessories and glitter paint instead of springing for an entirely new outfit. like this extravagant Sandra Robert velvet box clutch that comes with its drop-in chain strap for when you want your hands free for champagne and party treats.
Instead of a simple black coat, wear this Kolor navy faux fur biker jacket with a bright knit, then add statement heels. Therefore, you can wear it with a coordinating skirt which is adjusting the fit with the buckle-fastening straps.
Bid goodbye to the year 2016 with fine fragrances for Christmas and New Year that have ingredients to make you feel, smell and look good and intoxicating. Use the power this absolutely lovely Guerlain Shalimar perfume known as the 'Forbidden Fragrance,' which entices with its daring, sensual notes of bergamot, iris, vanilla and exotic amber. I dare you to resist!
Be sure to expect some seriously sparkling conversation in the New Year with this glittered case from House Of Harlow.
It's time for you to wear that daring piece that's been hanging in your closet for ages. Why don't you show some skin like a proper fashion girl by wearing this Milly Gold-tone sequined short skirt ?

AMEN TMA
personal zine
Ferg Simonds
Lets be honest here, everybody hitting London shows knows Ferg. Probably the only guy from the day one I stepped into UKHC waters who has been extraordinary polite, friendly, welcoming and always ready to engage in chat. Spreading the positive mental attitude message across and I dont remember single show where I would see him upset or grumpy.
He is cool guy to hang with, but damn it, folks, do not try to engage in interview with him, this one took longer than my wife`s pregnancy, honestly, if you can just drag him by his shirt, get your tape recorder or whatever people use for face to face interviews ready and talk to him in person otherwise your hair will get grey as mine, haha.
At the end, we made it and this is it. Lets take it as short introduction into his world. Ladies and gentlemen, Ferg Simonds from Fort Vallance band (RIP) and member of Ready Eye Collective.
Ferg
R: How is life Ferg? What was the last thing you did 5 minutes before you sat down and decided to commit to the interview?
F: Life is good thanks, 5 minutes ago I was having dinner with Hannah.
R: What do you normally have for dinner? What is the favorite dish you cannot resist?
F: Pizza, simple as – I think I've got a problem. Friday's have always been pizza night since I was a kid thanks to my Dad.
R: How is life with Corona? I believe you are still around working hard, aren't you? What are the arrangements at your work? Did you work less during lockdown? How do you keep yourself safe when crashing others sinks and pipes?
F: My work life during the pandemic hasn't really changed, during the initial lockdown work was extremely quiet so I was home early every day. After that first lockdown things started to get busier again and now it's as if the pandemic never happened. Some customers are very cautious and others couldn't care less about the guidelines, but I wear a mask in every house I work in and have hand sanitizer in my van. As a plumber you learn quickly to wash your hands!
Ferg with Your demise sing along
R: I guess that is part of the job, to wash your hands properly, you dont want to touch your pizza with dirty one, haha.
Have you been engaging in arguments about wearing face mask with those who are refusing to wear it when you around or you have been keeping yours on and maintaining the distance? What is the company policy on Covid when it comes to your working condition?
F: No I haven't been getting into arguments with customers, it's not worth it. I always wear my mask and keep my distance. If a customer is getting too close, I will ask them to keep their distance. As an employee I have to look after myself as much as possible, but as a company policy it's hard to comment. I'm a tradesman, our customers call to book us in and we have to trust that they are Covid free.
R: Who is Ferg? Tell us more about your early childhood. Lets talk about the earliest memory you have from your childhood? How was your childhood? Where did you grow up?
F: I was born and raised in Kingston with my sister, and my parents both worked in central London. When I was 11/12 my dad decided he'd had enough of London so we moved to a small village on the south coast of Dorset. I always struggle with earliest memories, but I remember being in the garden holding my hand out for a bee to land on and it instantly stung me!
R: Haha, you survived the attack, at least you know, you are not allergic to bee sting. How weird it was for you to move to other part of UK from London Kingston when you eleven years old? Leaving friends behind especially at that age. Were you upset about it or parents bribed you to keep you happy?
F: I think I was really lucky as the move from the city to the countryside was easy for me. A very close friend of mine, who I grew up with in London, his family moved to the same village my family eventually moved to. So we used to go and stay with them in the summer holidays. Which meant I already knew the area and had made friends before I moved. Plus, when you're 11, moving from the city to the countryside feels like going on holiday.
Ferg in 12 Bar during Six ft Ditch set
R: Would you say your childhood was happy one?
F: My childhood was happy. I grew up with my sister who is and has always been one of my closest friends. My parents were/ are amazing and have always done everything they can within their means to help and support me.
R: What are the games you used to play in the fields or concrete jungle when young?
F: Growing up in Kingston most of my time was spent roller skating, skateboarding, bike riding and messing around at friends houses, playing Sega Mega drive and doing what kids do. When we moved to the countryside the skateboarding and bike riding continued; but now my friends and I could camp out in the woods, make fires and do dumb shit that got us in trouble…..and a lot of dumb stuff we didn't get caught doing, you get away with more as a kid in the countryside!
R: Tell us what did you get away with?
F: I'm not grassing myself up, my Dad might read this! hahaha. But over the years there were lots of things that we used to get up to without our parents finding out.
R: Damn Ferg, seriously? Not a single secret coming out of you…
Do you still get on your deck nowadays or too much adult stuff in your life and skateboarding went sideways? What was your favorite trick? Did you skate street or transitions or bowls?
F: I guess I got my first skateboard at about 8, but at that age I was all about my Bauer Turbo quads. So I guess I started skateboarding properly at 10/11 and stopped skating at about 24ish. However I recently bought some new wheels and bearings and put them on my old setup, so let's see how long it is until I end up in A&E.
Ferg with Wisdom in Chains
R: How was your transition from kid to teenager? Do you remember time when you first started to take interests in girls or the adult stuff? The boy games suddenly got very boring and woman became the focus of your interest…maybe you are still keeping your kid soul inside you?
F: I've known from a very young age I had an interest in girls, but it's never stopped me being a never ending kid! I do remember my friends and I losing interest in playing kids games but the transition from kid to teen was pretty smooth for me.
R: Do you remember the time when you heard hardcore / punk for the first time? What was the first record and how did you feel listening to it? Was it love on the first sight?
F: The first time I heard punk I was 12 and someone played me The Offspring, Americana. I had heard punk on skate videos before but I'd never known anyone who actually owned a punk album. From there I dug into punk and also metal, but as much as I loved all the bands I discovered there was always something missing – and then I found Sick Of It All. From there I found other hardcore bands but I just assumed they were either punk or metal bands until I met the only other hardcore kid in my local town. He explained everything to do with hardcore and the scene to me and I fell in love…with hardcore not him hahahaha!
Fort Vallance in 12 Bar
R: Ferg, we are ok with it, you could be gay and we would still do this, dont worry, haha. When did you get involve with hardcore scene? How was the scene in your town? Any bands coming from the area we should pay attention to?
F: I first started going to hardcore shows in 2001, I was 15. I went a handful of shows in my local area, but there was no hardcore scene so I always travelled to London for shows. I was obsessed with everything to do with hardcore and tried to get to as many shows as possible which was difficult sometimes, at least until I started driving and from that moment on I was at a lot more shows. I started to become more involved in the scene when my old band Fort Vallance started playing shows in 2009. When the band started we played a lot of shows in Bournemouth which was our local city, but the scene was tiny. Between us, From Which It Came and Into The Dust the scene grew slightly and we organized shows bringing in other hardcore bands from around the country, which was cool while it lasted.
R: You moved back to London few years back, how did you feel coming from small village town to big smoke again? Was there anything particular you really had to get used of?
F: As I said before I was born and raised in Kingston and my parents worked in central London so I spent a lot of time in and around London. Moving from London to a small village was a bigger shock to the system than the other way round. Due to the hardcore scene and my friends I was spending every other weekend in London for years before I moved back so it wasn't a shock at all.
Ferg in the pit
R: You quickly became involved with the Rucktion guys, what is your role within the legendary label in London?
F: Technically I don't have a role in Rucktion. I have been friends with some of the Rucktion/LBU guys for years and when my band started playing shows we all became closer. I used to organize weekenders for my band with Rucktion bands just so we could play shows and hang out. I started helping Popi out on the distro here and there, but when I moved to London it became a regular thing. As there are no shows at the moment due to Covid my current 'role' is storing half the Rucktion distro in my flat!
R: There you go, you are the storage man from now, haha. How long does it take to unload the whole distro and move it to a show / venue and set it up? I guess it's bit of half day work haha.
F: Usually Popi will have organized what stuff he wants for the distro the day before a show, so really it's just a case of loading and unloading the distro from my van or the back of a taxi – there's simply too much to take it on the tube.
R: I was driving large distro around for one distro folk back in the days in my hometown, hence I asked you and I know it was not fun to load and unload small Fiat Uno with loads of vinyls and cd boxes on the day. My back and car suffered a lot haha.
You became a part of Ready Eye Collective with John, Rich and Louis promoting shows in London area. What is your part in the collective and how the idea came to light?
F: Ready Eye Collective was an idea of John's, he asked Rich, Louis and myself to be involved for different reasons. He asked me, because I had connections with bands he didn't know and ultimately he wanted to put on shows with mixed hardcore line ups. Because of my job I can't be online contacting bands and venues etc., so the boys do most of the organizing of the shows, but we all discuss and agree on all aspects of the shows beforehand. As the boys do all the 'paperwork', when it comes to the shows I always work the door.
Fort Vallance in Underworld
R: You were in band called Fort Vallance, correct me if I am wrong, it was long time ago. Who played in the band with you and what happened to the band? Are you in any other band now?
F: The original Fort Vallance lineup was; Charlie, Woody, Stevie (kind of) and myself. Not long after we started Big D joined and the bass player position changed constantly throughout the life of the band. Being in that band was some of the best times of my life and I never wanted it to end, but sadly people's lives changed and people moved on. We didn't even have a last show. As a lot of people know I have been desperately trying to organize a functioning band ever since Fort V split up. I've been in loads of bands since, but none of them have ever made it to the stage. I currently have 2 projects on the go, but who knows what will happen!
R: What do you think about the Brexit and how is it going to impact your show promotion activity? Obviously due to Covid lockdown no shows were taking place, but…we already heard about the working visa for artists coming to UK, that will have impact on door price I guess … what is the discussion among the crew about this?
F: Due to Covid we haven't been able to book any foreign bands, so truth be told at this moment we don't know how badly it will affect us. We've discussed it a lot but at this stage we don't really know much more than anyone else.
Brexit is going to affect everybody's lives in different ways, the one way it will definitely affect everyone in the same way is financially. Bands will need visa's to play here, UK bands will need visa's to play in other places so touring will cost more money. I worry that if the bands charge more to book, the promoters will have to charge more on the door. Obviously the Ready Eye Collective will always try and keep our entry prices as cheap as possible because we do this for the scene not to line our pockets. Any Ready Eye profits go back into the kitty so we can afford to book bigger and better shows.
R: What lessons did you learn from your first gig? What was your first big show? Was it the Merauder show? I dont remember now what was your collective first organized gig. How much money you had to invest and did you guys get it back?
F: We learnt lots of lessons after our first show but we had a great time and it was a huge success. I won't say how much but we all put in enough money to cover the bands that night. We've made our money back but as I said before, all money stays in the Ready Eye kitty. Our first big show was the Cold Hard Truth 10 year anniversary show in 2017.
R: How does it work with registration and tax codes? Aren't you worried that due to the Brexit you will have to run it as registered company?
F: As Brexit happened during Covid, we've not yet been able to book any bands from overseas – so to be honest we don't know what will happen.
R: Who is the most "neurotic" person in your crew? What is the most argued topic during your meetings? Are you having voting system when hard decisions need to be made?
F: I wouldn't describe any of the boys as neurotic, I think we work well as a team. We all worry, we all overthink, but when the doors open on the night of a show it always works out. When it comes to big decisions and choosing bands we all have a say and sometimes it comes down to voting.
R: What bands would you like to bring to London from overseas or mainland Europe for UK kids?
F: For UK kids or myself? haha. Personally, there are too many bands that I'd like to put on to list, but if I could choose 1 band to put on it would be Violation from California.
R: I remember you as the dude who appeared in many of my pit and stage diving pics. There was no show you wont stage dive right in front of my camera haha. Do you have any of your favorite pic from those shows and what gig was your favorite from the early years?
F: This is a hard question to answer as there have been so many shows and so many photos over the years. The photos that mean the most to me that you have ever taken are the ones you took of Fort Vallance playing our first show in the 12 Bar in 2009.
R: I remember that show and the pics actually very well, haha. How do you relax? Do you have any activity or hobby you prefer on your days off?
F: The thing I've been getting really into is graffiti. Art was the only thing I was good at in school and it's been really nice being creative. I've been spending a lot of my spare time in Leake Street, either by myself or with mates. But I spend most of my time chilling out with Hannah.
on stage with CDC
R: Correct me if I am wrong, but you were straight edge few years back right? What made you break the edge? I remember you wearing straight edge band t-shirt's but I might be completely wrong in this. I am old and I dont remember things anymore.
F: You're not the first person to think that, but actually I've never been straight edge. When I first started coming to shows I was too young to drink. Then when I started driving to shows, so I couldn't drink. Added to this I was massively into youth crew and didn't care that I liked straight edge bands but wasn't straight edge. I still connected with a lot of the messages in youth crew lyrics.
R: Thank you Ferg for your answers and good luck with your activities, sending love to Hannah and the crew. Keep rocking the boat Mr.

If you are one of the millions of people loving their front-loading washing machine, the benefits usually outweigh any issues. You've been diligent about locking the door during cycles to avoid leaks and loading proper clothing amounts, but a smell has begun to grow along the door gasket. Unlike top-loading washers, this sealing gasket provides a perfect location for mold and mildew to grow, as noted in this Consumer Reports article. These microorganisms create that permeating smell, but you can remove it with some clever cleaning strategies.
One of the simplest ways to stop that smell is to use the air-dry method. After washing a load, allow the door to remain ajar for air circulation. It doesn't even need to be completely open, just slightly unlatched. Mold and mildew rely on consistently wet conditions. If you allow evaporation to occur, they have no way to reproduce successfully. Inappropriate smells are avoided in the future with dry door gaskets.
Residue does build up over time so grab a rag, mildew cleaner and soapy water. Saturate the gasket with the cleaning products and scrub them clean. You may need several rags for this job, depending on the extent of uncleanliness. Molds are slimy by nature so wear rubber gloves if necessary. Press your hand into every crevice possible. It's always the dark corners that have the most buildup of all.
Although it may appear counterintuitive, run a washing cycle. Add baking soda and vinegar to the washer water, choosing the hot setting for this cleaning task. These two cleaning agents effectively scrub the gasket for you, leaving only a clean surface after a completed cycle. If you don't have these items around, try bleach with hot water. Bleach naturally breaks down mold and mildew, leaving the washer tub sanitized for another load. But don't mix bleach with other chemicals.
If you tend to pour the fabric softener into the washing machine, try to curb this habit. Although your clothes feel incredibly soft, the leftover residues in the washer slowly accumulate. They actually add to the gasket smell and residue buildup. Switch to laundry balls or dryer sheets during the drying cycle. Neglected molds can affect the household's health if the gasket continues to stay smelly.
Every washing machine has various features, but look over your manufacturer's instructions for a sanitizing setting. When you run the washer on the sanitize setting, it uses the hottest water possible for a long cleaning session. Try to run the sanitizing process at least once a month. If you have a busy household, you may want to run it even more often. Although wiping the gasket is still necessary, the machine prolongs its lifespan and improves cleanliness with consistent sanitizing.
You may have dedicated time to cleaning the gasket faithfully, but scents still linger around the appliance. Periodically, bring in a washing machine repair professional. They can look for other hidden mold and mildew areas. Common service calls could include drum removal for any buildup behind this part. Although most residue is around the door gasket, moisture permeates the entire machine. Professionals quickly find the problem areas, clean them and bring your appliance back to life. Schedule a professional once a year or more for the best washer care.
Prevention is typically the best way to stop any smelly occurrences around the home. Ask everyone to wipe the seal down after cycles using a clean rag. The goal is to remove any residual moisture trapped on the rubber. When you disturb the perfect growing grounds, mold and mildew will die back.

Tony, Johnny, Jeff, Scott, and Rhino: 5 men, one destiny. That night, over a box of Krispy delights, we babbled on what would soon become the 'BabbleOn 5' Movie Review site. The name is reference to an old sci-fi show and also because we all talk too much. Partially driven by a vision and partially a sugar rush, the BabbleOn 5 site was birthed. Our vision is to create a site that can be a movie and pop culture resource to our family, friends, enemies, aliens, and other carbon based life forms. We have been dreaming of this for a while and we felt the time was now- especially since robots and machines will soon rule the world and will have little need for a movie review site. But don't worry, we'll always have time travel to fix things if it ever gets too sucky around here.
Over the years, different team members have moved on to other adventures. However, once a Babbler, always a Babbler. Recently, we were honored to add our newest member to the team- Aileen. But beware, she as lovely as she is dangerous. If you share our love for movies then you will love BabbleOn 5. Visit regularly and comment often. Babble on!
I know it is just a dream, but I dream of one day living in California and either making this group the Babble-on 6 or taking a spot by fighting one of you to the death with a trident.
John, Rhino is our Babbleon 5 juggernaut to defeat. If you can defeat him, you are in as part of the 5!
If I must fight the Rhino, I will master the art of the sling and spend some time by the Mississippi looking for smooth stones.
Be looking for me in the sunrise. One day, you will see me coming from the Horizon, prepared for my destiny.
This could be the greatest site ever! This could also be the worst site ever. Time will tell, and I'll enjoy listening to the telling. Long live T, J, J, S and R!
Where can I get my own Babble-On 5 T-shirt? Nerd merch please.
The limited edition BabbleOn T-shirts are very rare and in high demand! It may cost you a small fortune but it will be worth it since you will be the envy of all your friends. The women will want you and the nerds will want to be you.
We'll let you know- hope fully soon enough!
OK, we will check it out. Thanks for letting us know.
Sorry for the lack of RSS feed, we have had trouble with it. Until it's up, try suscribing (lower right bar). Its the next best thing. Thanks and Babble on!
I 'll introduce myself first, my name is Catherine Meyers; I work as the admin of a web and blog directory. While reading your blog, I have to say, I find it very interesting, great articles with a nice touch of humor, really enjoyed reading them (and I look forward to the new Thundercats!), Good job! That is why, I would love to have your blog in my directory, that way my visitors will also visit BabbleOn 5.

Happy Retreat Creates an Archive
By Rachel Niswander, Preserve WV AmeriCorps serving at Happy Retreat
My name is Rachel Niswander and I am the Preserve WV AmeriCorps member with Happy Retreat. One of my duties was to create an archive for the organization during my year of service. Over the course of ten years, Happy Retreat has accumulated plenty of donations and various documents, letters, and blueprints from a previous owner of the home. In order to sort, document, and archive all these items, I began archiving all these items into the museum archiving software Musarch.
I had previously used Musarch at an internship I had in college. This, along with the fact that Happy Retreat wouldn't have to pay anything to obtain it or set it up, was the primary reason I chose this archiving software. After I set up Musarch, I began the process of putting all the items that Happy Retreat has acquired into the software. I first began with the McCabe items.
The McCabes owned Happy Retreat in the 1950s and conducted a substantial restoration of the home. We have in our collection blueprints showing the alterations and modifications done to the home as well as correspondence and letters between the McCabes and the architect. The blueprints are incredibly helpful for Happy Retreat to have, as they show every change and alteration that the McCabes did to the home. These include putting in a bathroom, a curved staircase in the west wing of the house, bookshelves in the parlors, and other small alterations throughout the house.
Other items put into the collection are furniture and books. Most of the furniture was either donated by board members or purchased from estates. Happy Retreat's books, however, came from donations. With over 300 history books donated, this took up the bulk of my time. It was a difficult task not to read every single book that I archived!
In my final weeks of service with Happy Retreat, I set up a training session for interested Happy Retreat board members to learn the software and continue the efforts to maintain Happy Retreat's archive.

Written by Samuel Richardson, Preserve WV AmeriCorps member serving at the West Virginia & Regional History Center (Samuel (left) pictured above with Dr. Emory Kemp (right))
It was no surprise that I was going to face some serious challenges in my Year of Service with AmeriCorps. I would be examining and arranging the life's work of Dr. Emory Kemp, with the goal of making his 300 box collection of blueprints, maps, restoration project reports, structural analysis papers, drawings, correspondence, and much more accessible to patrons of the West Virginia and Regional History Center (WVRHC). Public History, as an academic field, was foreign territory for me. However, as a graduate from the Public Administration program at West Virginia University, I was prepared to tackle any project that served the public's interest. The transdisciplinary shift was a challenge, but complimented my "Clifton Strength's Finder" examination which discovered my strength in adaptability.
Transdisciplinary shifts into public history are not unheard of, as according to Dr. Kemp, the structural mechanics PhD, was moved from civil engineering to the History Department at West Virginia University. Despite resistance in his early educational career to studying history as an academic discipline, he choose to remain in engineering. His resistance however, was no match for the orders of West Virginia University President James G. Harlow, who would implore Dr. Kemp lead the newly founded Institute for the History of Technology and Industrial Archaeology in the Department of History, not engineering.
This was one of the many anecdotes that developed in the Monday afternoon meeting with the retired academic stalwart. Perhaps, in the process of officially retiring, as he promises his newest developing book on the Big Sandy River will be his last.
The materials in the collection were assembled to support projects over Dr. Kemp's 50 year career. The materials were arranged in a manner with no particular emphasis on a preserved original order. Dr. Kemp stated that he expected the professional expertise of the faculty and staff at the WVRHC to arrange the materials in a fashion that would make his work most accessible to researchers.
Kemp also agreed with the proposed series arrangement, where WVRHC faculty member, Jane LaBarbara, and I hope to divide the collection into three major series, Kemp's Personal Library, Publications by Kemp, and finally, "Subject Files" or "Research Projects."
In hopes of understanding which areas of the large collection are appropriate to highlight and exhibit, Dr. Kemp will provide Jane and I with a list of 35 projects that were of noteworthy accomplishment and could be listed as potential engineering breakthroughs. Some of which, were his role in the construction of the Sydney Opera House, and saving the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company potentially millions of dollars, by engineering a way for them to integrate new equipment without completely destroying an older building. Kemp hopes to sit down with LaBarbara and me to discuss each of the projects in further detail.


In this paper I will examine two of the Three Primary School of Ethics using cared based and end based theories to solve the dilemma. The dilemma: A married couple, both addicted to drugs, is unable to care for their infant daughter. She is taken from them by court order and placed in a foster home. The years pass. She comes to regard her foster parents as her real parents. They love her as they would their own daughter. When the child is 9 years old, the natural parents, rehabilitated from drugs, begin court action to regain custody. The case is decided in their favor. The child is returned to them, against her will.
Years pass, and the daughter is now 9 years old. Her foster parents raised her well and they loved her as if she was their own. The married couple is now rehabilitated from drugs and wants their child back, and the case is decided in their favor.
I've also chose end-based theory because it examines the possible results and picks the one that produces the most blessing over the greatest results. The child was taken away from her parents at the early years of her life and was placed in a foster home. The sole purpose of a foster home is to protect children who have been neglected, abused, or is in need of a safe nurturing home for temporary period of time. The average age for children in foster care is 9 years old. In this case, I could see why the court decided to regain custody in their favor. The child is 9 years old and therefore is still a minor and does not quite have a say in this situation. It would have been a different story if the daughter had been adopted into a family because they would not have been allowed to regain custody of their daughter after a certain period of time.
Solve the dilemma using any two of the following Three Primary Schools of Ethics we discuss this week from our assigned reading. (Ends based, Rules based, or Care based).
 Explain the similarities and differences in your two solutions to the same dilemma.
 State (and justify) whether you feel the two schools of ethics are worthy of use in "real life" dilemmas.
 Do you feel that Aristotle would have approved of either of your solutions? Why or why not?

Local SEO is an essential part of a successful marketing strategy and it is important to learn the right way to use it.
Unfortunately there are a lot of businesses out there that are doing local SEO in all the wrong ways and this can really hinder their performance.
In order for you to avoid making the same mistakes here are some of the worst local SEO practices.
When you are using SEO the focus should always be on providing quality content throughout your website and social media.
The biggest mistake you can make is to have duplicated content on your website because this doesn't double your chances of ranking higher but instead it can actually rank you a lot lower.
So make sure that you regularly check your content on all pages to see that there aren't any duplicates. Also make sure you use original content throughout and don't ever copy paste content from other sites.
You should also try to avoid bad link building on your website. Overusing links on your website is going to get you penalised and Google itself recommends keeping links on your website under 100.
Again make sure that the links are of good quality and they add something relevant to your website. They should not just be added in order to try to rank higher. Organic and natural links work better than having lots of links just for the sake of having them.
Getting linked is really important as well. But instead of buying links from some dodgy sites it is a much better idea to get linked by local companies. For example, you can write a piece in a local newspaper and their online version.
Many businesses are also really bad in allowing their customers to discuss their content and share it with other people. This is one of the key ways to put your business on the map and have new potential customers find you.
It is essential that you include share options for social media and that you encourage customers to talk about your website content. Having this sort of discussion on your website can further improve your rank especially when it comes to local searches.
Listings and directories are an essential part of a successful SEO and if you forget to optimise these you are going to rank a lot lower in the rankings. With simple things like using Google Maps for local SEO you are going to be able to improve your search engine ranking and receive much more relevant traffic to your website.
So make sure that you sign up with the most important listings from Google and Yahoo. A Marketing Expert also points out that you should look into any of the local listings in your field to see if you can use them to your advantage.
The above points illustrate some of the worst things that your business can do in terms of local SEO. If you manage to stay away from the above-mentioned mistakes then you are on the right path for improving your search engine ranking.

The world is becoming more digital by the second. You can become friends with someone before ever being in the same room. Linkedin is great for networking, and Twitter is fabulous for reaching your peers, but as awesome as these tools are, they're also saturated. Everybody's using them….and therein lies the problem…they no longer make you unique. So, as a professional, how do you continue to stand out?
Attend a conference! Sometimes cutting through the noise and fostering face-to-face relationships with fellow professionals can be the best way to network and get yourself out there. Social tools are quick and easy to use, but they can't replace the memories and impressions made face-to-face.
If you're hosting a conference, you already recognize these benefits. For you, the question is: how do I get people there? How do I convince them it's worth their time, energy and (often) money? How do I get them excited about the event, carry that excitement through the conference, and then leave them talking about the conference and sharing it with potential attendees for weeks to come?
One of the best ways to increase the effectiveness of pre-event outreach is to develop a video. Events require active promotions to ensure that the attendance is as high as possible. Video is interactive and quickly demonstrates what an event offers – it also provides a peek into the personal interactions that an attendee can expect. Use video to attract all types of leads to your event. Include a call to action and make sure that it's easy for viewers to navigate from your video to the sign-up page for the event or conference.
The interactions that occur at a conference or event are one of the most powerful benefits to attending. Video can be a great way to bring life to event presentations and various product-oriented displays. Encouraging attendees to live upload photos and video with a pre-selected (and advertised) hashtag can add social exposure to your event. This helps to increase the buzz around your event and can inspire new people to sign up for next year's meet up. The immediate feedback also gives your social media managers a chance to engage attendees online while they're at the event.
Provides access to keynotes – Conferences spend quite a bit of resources to ensure a keynote has an impact. By capturing the presentation on video, attendees and others can view the content online after the event is over.
Archives panel discussions – One of the more engaging parts of a conference are the panel discussions. These discussions often feature conflicting points of view and encourage audience participation. Video, especially when there are multiple angles, can capture the most interesting moments of panel discussions. When uploading these videos, you invite the conversation to continue online.
CCaptures feedback and testimonials – One of the best ways to start marketing next year's event is to use testimonials from this year. With a video production crew on-site, you can capture testimonials from participants and use the footage to develop a promotional piece. Creating a sizzle reel from last year can be a great marketing tool for next year's event.
Ultimately, video is a great way to enhance the impact of an event. It provides the ability to capture the most interesting parts of a conference and extend conversations online.

In December 2007, 37 countries faced food crises, and 20 had imposed some sort of food-price controls. In China, the price of pork jumped 58% in 2007. In the 1980s and 1990s, farm subsidies and support programs allowed major grain exporting countries to hold large surpluses, which could be tapped during food shortages to keep prices down. However, new trade policies had made agricultural production much more responsive to market demands, putting global food reserves at their lowest since 1983.[121]
Fertilizing and the use of pesticides in conventional farming has caused, and is causing, enormous damage worldwide to local ecosystems, biodiversity, groundwater and drinking water supplies, and sometimes farmer health and fertility. These environmental, economic and health issues are intended to be minimized or avoided in organic farming. From a consumers perspective, there is not sufficient evidence in scientific and medical literature to support claims that organic food is safer or healthier to eat than conventionally grown food. While there may be some differences in the nutrient and antinutrient contents of organically- and conventionally-produced food, the variable nature of food production and handling makes it difficult to generalize results.[47][48][49][50][51] Claims that organic food tastes better are generally not supported by tests.[48][52]
The earliest use of the term in the post-industrial age appears to be in 1946 in The Farmer, a quarterly magazine published and edited from his farm by F. Newman Turner, a writer and pioneering organic farmer. The magazine sponsored the establishment of the Producer Consumer Whole Food Society Ltd, with Newman Turner as president and Derek Randal as vice-president.[66] Whole food was defined as "mature produce of field, orchard, or garden without subtraction, addition, or alteration grown from seed without chemical dressing, in fertile soil manured solely with animal and vegetable wastes, and composts therefrom, and ground, raw rock and without chemical manures, sprays, or insecticides," having intent to connect suppliers and the growing public demand for such food.[66] Such diets are rich in whole and unrefined foods, like whole grains, dark green and yellow/orange-fleshed vegetables and fruits, legumes, nuts and seeds.[63]
The Mayo Clinic Diet is designed to help you lose up to 6 to 10 pounds (2.7 to 4.5 kilograms) during the initial two-week phase. After that, you transition into the second phase, where you continue to lose 1 to 2 pounds (0.5 to 1 kilogram) a week until you reach your goal weight. By continuing the lifelong habits that you've learned, you can then maintain your goal weight for the rest of your life.
Organic food is food produced by methods that comply with the standards of organic farming. Standards vary worldwide, but organic farming in general features practices that strive to cycle resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity. Organizations regulating organic products may restrict the use of certain pesticides and fertilizers in farming. In general, organic foods are also usually not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents or synthetic food additives.[45]
^ The sweetness multiplier "300 times" comes from subjective evaluations by a panel of test subjects Archived January 23, 2009, at the Wayback Machine tasting various dilutions compared to a standard dilution of sucrose. Sources referenced in this article say steviosides have up to 250 times the sweetness of sucrose, but others, including stevioside brands such as SweetLeaf, claim 300 times. 1/3 to 1/2 teaspoon (1.6–2.5 ml) of stevioside powder is claimed to have equivalent sweetening power to 1 cup (237 ml) of sugar.
Animals, specifically humans, have five different types of tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. As animals have evolved, the tastes that provide the most energy (sugar and fats) are the most pleasant to eat while others, such as bitter, are not enjoyable.[71] Water, while important for survival, has no taste.[72] Fats, on the other hand, especially saturated fats, are thicker and rich and are thus considered more enjoyable to eat.
During aeration, a younger wine's exposure to air often "relaxes" the drink, making it smoother and better integrated in aroma, texture, and flavor. Older wines generally fade (lose their character and flavor intensity) with extended aeration.[90] Despite these general rules, breathing does not necessarily benefit all wines. Wine may be tasted as soon as the bottle is opened to determine how long it should be aerated, if at all.[91][better source needed] When tasting wine, individual flavors may also be detected, due to the complex mix of organic molecules (e.g. esters and terpenes) that grape juice and wine can contain. Experienced tasters can distinguish between flavors characteristic of a specific grape and flavors that result from other factors in wine-making. Typical intentional flavor elements in wine—chocolate, vanilla, or coffee—are those imparted by aging in oak casks rather than the grape itself.[92]
We all know whole grains are good for us, but we've collected the best whole-grain recipes to make them a regular part of your cooking routine. The fiber and nutrients associated with whole grains make them an essential part of a healthy diet, but it's often difficult to work them into your everyday cooking. This collection of recipes uses whole grains—from brown rice to whole-wheat pasta—in a delicious variety of ways.
Texture plays a crucial role in the enjoyment of eating foods. Contrasts in textures, such as something crunchy in an otherwise smooth dish, may increase the appeal of eating it. Common examples include adding granola to yogurt, adding croutons to a salad or soup, and toasting bread to enhance its crunchiness for a smooth topping, such as jam or butter.[82]
Vitamins and minerals are required for normal metabolism but which the body cannot manufacture itself and which must therefore come from external sources. Vitamins come from several sources including fresh fruit and vegetables (Vitamin C), carrots, liver (Vitamin A), cereal bran, bread, liver (B vitamins), fish liver oil (Vitamin D) and fresh green vegetables (Vitamin K). Many minerals are also essential in small quantities including iron, calcium, magnesium, sodium chloride and sulfur; and in very small quantities copper, zinc and selenium. The micronutrients, minerals, and vitamins[16] in fruit and vegetables may be destroyed or eluted by cooking. Vitamin C is especially prone to oxidation during cooking and may be completely destroyed by protracted cooking.[17][not in citation given] The bioavailability of some vitamins such as thiamin, vitamin B6, niacin, folate, and carotenoids are increased with cooking by being freed from the food microstructure.[18] Blanching or steaming vegetables is a way of minimizing vitamin and mineral loss in cooking.
Wine has been produced for thousands of years. The earliest known traces of wine are from Georgia (c. 6000 BC),[2][3][4][5] Iran (c. 5000 BC),[6][7] and Sicily (c. 4000 BC)[8] although there is evidence of a similar alcoholic drink being consumed earlier in China (c. 7000 BC).[9][10][11] The earliest known winery is the 6,100-year-old Areni-1 winery in Armenia.[12][13] Wine reached the Balkans by 4500 BC and was consumed and celebrated in ancient Greece, Thrace and Rome. Throughout history, wine has been consumed for its intoxicating effects.[14][15][16]
^ Luke, Kim. "Evidence That Human Ancestors Used Fire One Million Years Ago". Retrieved 27 October 2013. An international team led by the University of Toronto and Hebrew University has identified the earliest known evidence of the use of fire by human ancestors. Microscopic traces of wood ash, alongside animal bones and stone tools, were found in a layer dated to one million years ago
Human diet was estimated to cause perhaps around 35% of cancers in a human epidemiological analysis by Richard Doll and Richard Peto in 1981.[143] These cancer may be caused by carcinogens that are present in food naturally or as contaminants. Food contaminated with fungal growth may contain mycotoxins such as aflatoxins which may be found in contaminated corn and peanuts. Other carcinogens identified in food include heterocyclic amines generated in meat when cooked at high temperature, polyaromatic hydrocarbons in charred meat and smoked fish, and nitrosamines generated from nitrites used as food preservatives in cured meat such as bacon.[144]
Unlike food processors, food retailing is a two-tier market in which a small number of very large companies control a large proportion of supermarkets. The supermarket giants wield great purchasing power over farmers and processors, and strong influence over consumers. Nevertheless, less than 10% of consumer spending on food goes to farmers, with larger percentages going to advertising, transportation, and intermediate corporations.[118]
Natural foods and "all natural foods" are widely used terms in food labeling and marketing with a variety of definitions, most of which are vague. The term is often assumed to imply foods that are not processed and whose ingredients are all natural products (in the chemist's sense of that term), thus conveying an appeal to nature. But the lack of standards in most jurisdictions means that the term assures nothing. In some countries, the term "natural" is defined and enforced. In others, such as the United States, it is not enforced.


Imagine for a minute that you are over the age of 60, you are home bound, disabled, chronically ill or have recently been discharged from the hospital. You are unable to meet your daily nutritional needs on your own and your support system (friends and/or family) is insufficient or non-existent.
This is where the, ever important, Arc of Genesee Orleans – Orleans County Meals on Wheels program excels!
Orleans County Meals on Wheels delivers lunches that are prepared in their Nutritional Program central kitchen based around a menu developed by registered dieticians. If needed, they will deliver two meals, so not only a sufficient lunch but a sufficient dinner is provided. But more important is the human contact made during these deliveries.
In 2016 over 41,000 meals were provided to area seniors, through Meals on Wheels. Roughly half of these seniors are living under the poverty level and will improve their nutritional intake as a result of these services. In addition, daily safety and wellness checks are provided for these seniors, especially those living alone or without a family support network. Unfortunately, in many of the homes receiving this service, this is the only daily contact the recipient is receiving.
Your support of the United Way of Orleans County allows us to continue our partnership with the Arc of Genesee Orleans, Orleans County Meals on Wheels program. Just with this program alone you are touching over 200 senior citizens in OUR community. We thank you for your continued support and look forward to many years of partnership to come.

Student Group Flags Top 5 Instances of Campus Censorship of Conservatives

Conservatives are not cheering what they see as censorship at college campuses across the country. Pictured: A Michigan State cheerleader exhorts Spartans fans March 17 during the championship game of the Big Ten Tournament at United Center in Chicago. (Photo: Dylan Buell/Getty Images)
Why bother with a liberal arts education? Some students at a Washington university wanted to know, but their school administrators canceled a panel scheduled to debate the question.
The cancellation, with no reason given, was one of the five biggest incidents of censorship of conservatives on college campuses in the past 12 months, Charlie Copeland, president of Intercollegiate Studies Institute, told The Daily Signal in a recent phone interview.
Here are the top five identified by Copeland as contrary to free speech and other First Amendment rights:
1. Liberal Arts, but Not Liberal Discussion
Students affiliated with ISI at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, which says it celebrates "a proud Jesuit liberal arts tradition," planned a debate for last November on the importance of a liberal arts education.
Intercollegiate Studies Institute, a nonprofit organization that seeks to educate conservatives to become eloquent defenders of liberty, invited three professors to speak on a panel on the topic "Why Bother With a Liberal Arts Education?"
ISI said George Mason University's Bryan Caplan would argue that the study of liberal arts isn't important, and Clemson University's Brookes Brown would argue that it is important. Utah State University's Harrison Kleiner was set as moderator.
"This wasn't a panel discussion where we had one opinion; it was going to be a discussion of the value, good or bad, of a liberal arts education," Copeland, who also is a veteran Republican activist in Delaware, told The Daily Signal.
Yet, on Nov. 5, about three weeks before the scheduled event, the university informed ISI that it couldn't approve the debate, without citing a reason.
"We don't have any idea why they didn't want the debate to proceed," Copeland said in a phone interview. "And then they further asked for the names of the students and faculty involved, which we perceived as a blacklist, so we didn't give them that information."
On Nov. 6, the university told ISI that another, more high-profile event sponsored by Gonzaga's dean was scheduled the same night, and the school didn't want such conflicts.
The university wouldn't permit ISI to advertise on campus and didn't provide any information on the conflicting event, Copeland said.
The students put on their panel discussion at a nearby hotel instead.
The censorship was "ironic," Copeland said, given the university's liberal arts background.
A few months later, he said, Gonzaga allowed a student-hosted campaign event for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., to take place, with no issues raised by the administration.
Gonzaga provided this statement in response to an inquiry from The Daily Signal:
Gonzaga University hosts an array of speakers representing various political, religious and social perspectives each year.
With respect to the event proposed by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, our academic leadership reached out to ISI regarding the event to learn more about their plans. No acknowledgement or response was received.
As an independent, faith-based and nonprofit institution, Gonzaga University works every day to provide students with a broad range of intellectual thought, ideas and debate opportunities. We encourage our faculty and students to discuss the value of a liberal arts education–and they are well-prepared to do so.
Gonzaga also emphasized that the Sanders event was an informal, students-only gathering that occurred under conditions set by the school's Student Development Division.
"Gonzaga University's decision to host any speaker—past and future—does not imply endorsement of the speaker's views," spokeswoman Mary Joan Hahn said in an email.
2. Woke at Wake Forest
When some perceived a fake campus campaign poster at Wake Forest University to be racist, student Jordan Lancaster called out fellow collegiates on Twitter for overreacting.
Then she received death threats.
The phony poster in the campaign for student body president, the work of an unknown person or persons, read: "Build a wall between Wake Forest and Winston-Salem College."
Salem College, Wake Forest's rival, also in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, traditionally has had a larger percentage of blacks in the student body.
Wake Forest President Nathan O. Hatch sent a campus-wide email March 23 condemning the fake poster and announcing that a team led by the dean of students would investigate.
This email was sent to everyone at my school because a kid made a post on Instagram as a joke saying his platform for student body president was to "build a wall" between us and our rival school.
That's it. That's the "extremely offensive" post. Ppl in college need to grow up pic.twitter.com/FlwzbEAiHD
— Jordan Lancaster (@jordylancaster) March 23, 2019
"The joke could certainly be argued as in poor taste," ISI's Copeland said, "but a student of ours [Lancaster] who wasn't even in the United States at the time tweeted that the administration's response was an overreaction." He added:
Almost immediately, [Jordan] was doxed, she received death threats, one student said explicitly that she would have the girl's head, basically because 'the other school is not going to be played with.' All of these are characteristically threatening, by any definition, and yet there was no response about that from the administration.
The College Fix reported that Winston-Salem students recommended on Twitter that Lancaster be "fired and expelled," and called her employer and Wake Forest with complaints.
Copeland said he thinks this outsized response was due to Wake Forest's making a big deal out of the campaign poster in the first place.
"By the administration's response at Wake Forest, creating a big racial incident out of that one comment, it all of a sudden became very touchy and polarized, and angry people started to respond," Copeland said. "Whereas, had the administration just contacted the original student and told him it wasn't funny, corrected his behavior, they likely could have solved the problem."
"It's an instance of when the adults in the room don't act like adults. They allow angry members of society, on both the right and left, to overreact," the ISI president said.
Wake Forest did not respond to The Daily Signal's requests for comment.
3. Notre Whiteness
Copeland recalled how Notre Dame University held a panel discussion on "whiteness" during which faculty members expressed frustration with skin color as an "oppressive political condition."
The panel of four professors—three speakers and a moderator—was hosted in January by the mediation program of the Indiana university's Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies. Copeland said he found this odd, since all speakers on the panel argued that whiteness is oppressive.
"I've been in mediation before. It basically means you have one person on one side and one person on the other side, to reach common ground," he said. "There was no mediation involved. Why the Kroc Institute for International Peace was involved in this, I don't know."
During the question-and-answer session, the ISI president said, a European man stood up to ask a question.
"When he got to the microphone, one of the panelists, a faculty member, yelled out, 'White power!' and they took the microphone away," Copeland said. "Now if you're a white student at Notre Dame, how do you think that made you feel? Talk about oppressive."
Copeland, who said some ISI students attended, said he found the premise of the panel of professors ironic:
Notre Dame is one of the most elite schools, and these people have reached the pinnacle of their career. They should be thankful, saying, 'Look what I have achieved, it has allowed me to thrive.' And instead we get moments like this, where they're saying, 'We are oppressed.'
Notre Dame did not respond to The Daily Signal's requests for comment.
4. Targeted at Michigan State
When a student representative at Michigan State University included his student government position in his email signature, his fellow representatives tried to remove him from the elected position in February.
Copeland said that Sergei Kelly, a conservative student at MSU, had sent out an email to recruit more conservatives for student government, and included his position in the student legislature with his name.
Some students said they were afraid Kelly's use of that signature implied that the student government promoted conservative values at the school in East Lansing, Michigan. Copeland said:
He had in his email signature line that he is a member of student government, ASMSU [Associated Students of Michigan State University], which I imagine most students do. Well, some progressive students viewed this as him using it in an inappropriate way, and so they came up with a bill to get him removed from his elected position. Which would be a little bit like [House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi bringing a bill before Congress to get [Rep.] Mark Meadows kicked out of Congress.
Meadows, R-N.C., is chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, a group of conservative lawmakers.
Though the motion to remove Kelly did not succeed, the student assembly did pass a rules change. An inappropriate act now is defined as "physical violence, personal attacks of a severe and/or pervasive nature, harassment and discrimination," or—in response to this flap—"the misrepresentation of a constituency."
Copeland pointed out that a student representative's voting privileges already could be removed if the assembly finds that he or she has committed an inappropriate act.
"Because of the adding of that phrase, you've now equated physical violence—me punching you in the nose—as the same as my email saying I'm a member of student government," Copeland said.
"The chamber defines that as a misrepresentation. It's one thing to not hit somebody, but now I'm not even allowed to speak because the majority could say that in my speech I misrepresented my constituency."
This kind of censorship is what leads to "tyranny of the masses," Copeland said.
"The rules are in place to protect the minority, because otherwise the majority could rule all the time," he said. "It would be tyranny of the masses. Many of those people who fought those civil rights battles years ago are now in charge today, and they are reinstituting rules that allow for the tyranny of the majority, and that is a dangerous place for this country to go."
In response to The Daily Signal's request for comment, Michigan State University said it does not have a role in overseeing student government, and that the student government's decisions are not subject to the university's jurisdiction.
The Associated Students of Michigan State did not respond to The Daily Signal's request for comment.
5. Closed Doors at Pitzer
Pitzer College in Claremont, California, prohibited some student journalists from attending a student council vote that previously was to be open to the public, Copeland said.
The Pitzer College Council, composed of students and faculty, voted in March to suspend Pitzer's only Israel study abroad program, in an effort to keep American money out of Israel in support of the pro-Palestinian BDS movement, which stands for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions.
The college advertised the March 14 vote as an open meeting, and when the Claremont Independent initially called the college's Office of Communications, it welcomed the student journalists to attend, Copeland said.
"And then, when [the office] realized later it was a conservative student newspaper, they called back and said, 'No, you cannot attend, it's only for faculty, staff, and members of The Student Life staff,'" he said.
The Student Life is a publication funded by the student government.
The Claremont Independent published a story March 13, the day before the meeting, saying that the college had prohibited its editors from attending.
"They wanted to make certain that no external media attended. But [the Claremont Independent] is not external media—it's an official club of the Claremont College Institute," Copeland said.
The ISI leader suggested the student-faculty council actually withdrew the Claremont Independent's invitation because it didn't want a more conservative perspective in the room during the vote.
"They didn't want somebody in there that would say, 'This is a bad idea,' and force these brilliant faculty members to defend their position," Copeland said.
The Pitzer Faculty Executive Committee offered this explanation:
Due to limited seating for College Council, the Faculty Executive Committee (FEC) requested that attendance be limited to Pitzer faculty, staff and current students, and that reporters be limited to the official 5C paper, The Student Life. The Claremont Independent (CI) is privately funded.
FEC also excluded the LA Times and other papers that have inquired about attendance to the meeting, along with Pitzer alumni who have asked to attend. If there were any current Pitzer student-reporters for the CI, they were welcome as members of our community.
Pitzer's senior director of communications and media relations, Anna Chang, said the Claremont Independent was informed after publishing the article that it could cover the meeting using reporters who were Pitzer students.
Both the Claremont Independent and The Student Life are staffed by students from all five Claremont colleges.
"As far as the claim that our student editors were invited to attend, I can only go off what our student editors told me, and that was that they were banned from attending," Copeland said.

I went on a service call to one of my customers which is a car dealership. The manager had brought his car in and had it on the showroom floor. I figured I would share some pics of it. Its one cool looking car for sure.
Im not sure what year it is. He wants $225,000 for it. Its an Audio R8 with the V10 engine.
I doubt that would make it up my driveway. Nice car though !

LSB publishes regulatory framework proposals
The Legal Services Board (LSB) has published its vision for legislative reform of the regulatory framework for legal services in England and Wales.
The paper, entitled "A vision for legislative reform of the regulatory framework for legal services in England and Wales" is a response to the government's challenge to legal services regulators in 2014 to free up the legal services sector so that it works better for citizens, reduces burdens on practitioners and delivers economic growth.
Legal Services Board Chairman, Sir Michael Pitt, said:
"We believe that further legislative reform would help address current challenges and make the step change needed to improve outcomes for consumers, citizens and practitioners.
"There is a need to tackle the tensions inherent in the existing framework. A new legal framework will help secure the important public interest outcomes that the legal sector delivers, such as maintaining the rule of law and ensuring access to justice. It will also strengthen the contribution the legal sector makes to the reputation of the UK as a great place to do business."

Q: Why is the size of a copied git folder on exFAT bigger than its original on ext4? I have a git folder (which is a git repo) on an ext4 disk:
ytsen@ytsen-MacBookPro:~$ du -hcs ~/git
3,2M    /home/ytsen/git
3,2M    total

now I copy this to a USB stick with an exFAT file system:
ytsen@ytsen-MacBookPro:~$ cp -r ~/git /media/ytsen/USB\ Flash/git3
cp: preserving permissions for '/media/ytsen/USB Flash/git3/hooks': Function not implemented
cp: preserving permissions for '/media/ytsen/USB Flash/git3/objects/49': Function not implemented
cp: preserving permissions for '/media/ytsen/USB Flash/git3/objects/68': Function not implemented

<snip>

and now the size on the stick of this folder is much bigger:
ytsen@ytsen-MacBookPro:~$ du -hcs /media/ytsen/USB\ Flash/git3
23M /media/ytsen/USB Flash/git3
23M total

Question:
Why is this, should I worry?
Question:
Do I now have a problem with the file permissions (see the generated output of cp)?
PS. I can check out from the copy on the USB stick and there seems to be no problem at all in retrieving the files or history ...

A: Cluster Sizes and Slack Space
The amount of space used by a file includes more than just the file's bytes.  In ext2/3/4 and FAT-based filesystems, each file takes up at least one block/cluster*, and  each block/cluster belongs to at most one file.   So any remaining space in the cluster that's not part of the file's contents, is basically wasted.  The common term for this wasted space, is "slack space".
How much space is wasted, depends in part on how big the clusters/blocks are.  Generally, the smaller you expect your files to be, the smaller you want your clusters, because small clusters means less slack space.
A FAT filesystem includes a "file allocation table" (for which it is named), though, which says which clusters are occupied by which files.  The FAT has an entry for each cluster on the drive; if the clusters are half as big, there are twice as many of them, and thus the FAT ends up with twice as many entries to manage.  So the system tends to favor big clusters (16 KiB, 32 KiB, maybe even higher -- exFAT allows up to 32 MiB/cluster, though that's probably quite uncommon).
In ext4, on the other hand, things are done differently -- in a way that's less sensitive to the size/count of blocks.  So it doesn't mind small blocks as much, and will often have blocks 1, 2, or 4 KiB in size.  (Big filesystems might have larger blocks, but at that point, space probably isn't an issue.)
With all that said, a 100-or-so byte file might easily occupy 4 KiB on an ext4 filesystem, and 32 KiB on exFAT.  So if you have lots of small files, you'll notice a huge increase in space usage when you move those files from a FS with small blocks to a FS with much bigger ones.
Preserving permissions (or...not)
Some filesystems (including most previous FAT filesystems) don't support *nix-style permissions.  Others do, but the driver hasn't been written to take advantage of them.  In those cases, typically the system will either approximate the permissions as closely as feasible using the FS's own built-in features, or just say "screw it" and make the files accessible by anyone who has access to the device.
(With exFAT, i'm not 100% sure which will happen...but i'd put my money on the latter.)
Either way, Git typically doesn't care all that much; it just cares that it can read and write the files in the repo (and particularly in the .git folder).  If you have enough access to copy the files and actually see them afterward, you should be fine.
(One caveat, though.  I'm not sure whether -- or how well -- exFAT handles symlinks.  If your repo contains any, i'm not sure what will happen.)
As for why only those three particular directories gave you problems: I would venture a guess that you made a couple of commits and/or fetches under a different username (maybe you said sudo git fetch origin or the like, for example), and the files/directories created as part of doing so are owned by that user.  You might want to check those directories in the original and see what's different about them -- it's entirely possible that not preserving their permissions is a good thing here, and actually made the exFAT copy more correct than the original.

* "Blocks" and "clusters" are basically the same thing. But MS -- and thus any documentation it provides on FAT-based filesystems --  likes to call them "clusters".

A: git is heavily relying on hard links, which exFAT doesn't support.

Q: Mac check in GCM failed after recompiling with apktool I have an android application that uses BouncyCastle for encryption and decryption. It has a database that there are some string in it that encrypted with BouncyCastle, I need to decompile that and get some decryption from that, I'm doing this with apktool and it gives me success decompile, I'm changing some codes and add log.d to it to use to decrypt it and then after compile that, it successfully compiled, Now while I'm using it and I wanna try to get log from it to know what is that string, it says mac check in GCM failed. what should I do?
below the codes of that application:
the text to decrypt:
IBbdPw==
for encryption:
public static int KeyBitSize = 16;
public static int MacBitSize = 32;
public static int NonceBitSize = 16;
public static String encrypt(String str, byte[] bArr, byte[] bArr2) {
    String str2 = "";
    try {
        byte[] bytes = str.getBytes("UTF-8");
        GCMBlockCipher gCMBlockCipher = new GCMBlockCipher(new AESFastEngine());
        gCMBlockCipher.init(true, new AEADParameters(new KeyParameter(bArr), MacBitSize, bArr2, null));
        byte[] bArr3 = new byte[gCMBlockCipher.getOutputSize(bytes.length)];
        gCMBlockCipher.doFinal(bArr3, gCMBlockCipher.processBytes(bytes, 0, bytes.length, bArr3, 0));
        return Base64.encodeToString(bArr3, 0);
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException | IllegalArgumentException | IllegalStateException | DataLengthException | InvalidCipherTextException e) {
        System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        return str2;
    }
}

for decryption:
public static String decrypt(String str, byte[] bArr, byte[] bArr2) {
    String str2 = "";
    try {
        byte[] decode = Base64.decode(str, 0);
        GCMBlockCipher gCMBlockCipher = new GCMBlockCipher(new AESFastEngine());
        gCMBlockCipher.init(false, new AEADParameters(new KeyParameter(bArr), MacBitSize, bArr2, null));
        byte[] bArr3 = new byte[gCMBlockCipher.getOutputSize(decode.length)];
        gCMBlockCipher.doFinal(bArr3, gCMBlockCipher.processBytes(decode, 0, decode.length, bArr3, 0));
        return new String(bArr3, Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException | IllegalStateException | DataLengthException | InvalidCipherTextException e) {
        System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        return str2;
    }
}

Updated:
it is using the code like below to decrypt:
byte[] HexToByte(String str) {
        int length = str.length();
        byte[] bArr = new byte[(length / 2)];
        for (int i = 0; i < length; i += 2) {
            bArr[i / 2] = (byte) ((Character.digit(str.charAt(i), 16) << 4) + Character.digit(str.charAt(i + 1), 16));
        }
        return bArr;
    }

String arg_1="IBbdPw==";
String arg_2="C6704D668D64DD012A86858C36F35D46F3";
String arg_3="58EB2DB3E1063FC93A";
decrypt(arg_1, HexToByte(arg_2.substring(0, 32)), HexToByte(arg_3.substring(0, 16)));

while arg_2 is changing while application run by its sign key

Lanfang is not the only Chinese city to ban Christmas decorations.
Santa Claus has been officially banned from entering the Chinese city of Langfang. City authorities have issued a blanket ban applicable to all Christmas displays on public streets and in shops. The Christmas festival, although a western one, is widely celebrated by the Chinese and is used as a marketing opportunity. In most Chinese cities, residents are used to the sights of glittering trees cunningly placed in malls to lure in shoppers. The Langfang authorities have pledged to clear all Christmas decorations from its public places. Authorities have posted orders to employees to keep a close eye on the streets and shopping center from December 23 to December 25 to ensure no Christmas decorations will be seen.
Langfang is not the first Chinese metropolis to ban Christmas. A city in Hunan province, Hengyang, in December 2017 issued a notice with stern wording asking officials in the Communist Party and their relatives not to attend or follow any Christmas festival. Things came to such a pass that Anhui city's Communist Youth League wrote on their social media page Christmas is "China's day of shame." As per the youth league, the festival represents the West's cultural invasion. Although the Chinese Constitution provides religious freedom, in practice, the Communist Party in China has announced a number of plans to dissolve any differences between multiple Chinese communities present within China.
The ban is so drastic that even the Chinese Communist Party media mouthpiece publications mildly criticized the move. One paper pointed out what the authorities are doing is not a ban but a move to score points in the ratings of "National Civilized Cities," a campaign organized every year by the Chinese Communist Party's propaganda department.
Critics view Langfang's tough-worded notice as a move to curry favors from Beijing. The small city is aware of the crackdowns on Muslims and Christians, and the ban is simply a corollary of such actions. Human Rights activists have claimed the Christmas decoration ban in Langfang by Beijing is the part of Beijing's ratcheting up control over religion. They say the Christmas display ban mirrors a rise in hostility towards activities which symbolize Western values and culture.
China attempts to ban Christmas? Really ?
