Malignant Fusion. Malignant is stylish and illustrates the mood of the story. Fusion shows this story is sci-fi, but replacing fusion with something less melodramatic would probably improve this title.
Hellhounds. Although this title has only one word, it manages to work in some imagery and setting. However, it needs more details. What's at stake? Why should we care?
Yuletide in Camelot. This creates an interesting contrast between the location and the time. What kind of King Arthur story could you tell during Christmas? That's an interesting premise. My main concern is that it's not clear whether this is an action story.
The Lost Mariachi. This is a head-scratcher, but I found it endearing. I suspect that adding details could help sell this story. What's at stake? Why should we care about the mariachi?
Stranger Among Us. I love the phrase "among us," but it makes the word "stranger" superfluous. If the title were, say, The Soldiers Among Us, readers would easily pick up that soldiers are strange to the story's other characters. Consequently, this title should replace "stranger" with a more specific and interesting noun. That would also help establish the setting and plot.
The Book of Adam. This title is thoroughly mediocre, but it successfully markets itself as religious-themed fiction. The biblical structure is passable but desperately needs more flair. For example, given that this is a sci-fi story about genetic engineering, we could try something like Enhancing God's Image. For a colder, creepier feel, we might try Perfecting God's Image.
Path of the Warrior. This is another mediocre title that successfully identifies its niche. Japanophiles will hopefully pick up the cue that "path of the warrior" is a direct translation of "bushido" (Japanese chivalry). The title suffers because path and warriors are bland words. The story could probably distinguish itself from other stories about medieval Japan by using an adjective to modify warrior, or replacing warrior with a more specific noun.
Fat Grins from Space. I suspect that this head-scratcher might intrigue fans of wacky sci-fi. This has potential, but I think that revising "Fat Grins" will help.
Royal Rescue. This successfully suggests the genre (medieval fantasy) and the substance, but it feels clumsy because it relies on such a one-dimensional plot. If the plot sounded more interesting, the title would be more effective. Would you rather read Royal Rescue or The Dragon Doesn't Want to be Rescued? I prefer the second because it adds an unexpected character (a dragon in distress) and conflict (with a prisoner that doesn't want to be rescued).
The Hand. Whose hand? Why should we care? This title badly needs more details.
The Forest Ranger. "Forest" is a boring adjective here. Why should we care about a forest ranger? What's at stake? What kind of story is this?
Playgel Riser. I have no idea what that means or why I should care about it. I think both words are invented. I don't recommend using invented words in titles.
The Edge of TIme [the capital 'I' in 'TIme' was in the original]. Improperly capitalizing "Time" earns this title a one-way trip to the awful pile, but the title would have been awful anyway. This prepackaged phrase doesn't suggest enough about the story or why we should care.
she's come back [no capitals]. This is another improperly capitalized title. Look at this from the editor's perspective. If an author doesn't even double-check his title, there is no chance that his manuscript is worth reading… Also, even if this title were capitalized, I'd still want to know who she is, where she has come back from and why we should care. This title doesn't give us enough to generate interest.
Gethsemane. Using an invented word as a one-word title fails more than 95% of the time. What's a Gethsemane? Don't know, don't care. Next!
Current of the Pathless. This feels trippy. I don't know what a current of the pathless is, or what kind of story this is, or why I should care.
The Black. Huh? Black seems to be a noun here, but I don't know what a black is or why I should care about it. My best attempt to make sense of this title is that it's about a human of African heritage. Somehow I don't think that's what the author meant.
Hanuman's Bridge. Who's Hanuman and why should we care about his bridge? This title makes poor use of a character's name.
I, Con. This feels like a much more awkward version of I, Robot.
Strength of Spirit. Who has a strong spirit? What sort of obstacles do they have to overcome? Why should we care? This bland title could apply to virtually every fantasy or realistic-fiction story ever written. If your title can describe a cancer survival story as easily as a tale of knights saving princesses, you've got a problem.
Knight of Decision. This title is so horribly awkward, so wildly cacophonous that it must be scrapped immediately. When the author rewrites it, he should try elaborating which decision the knight is making and why we should care.
Manji's Tale. This wasn't as effective as Path of the Warrior. Using a character's name is rarely effective. Words like "tale" or "story" are wholly ineffective because they completely fail to tell readers anything about your story. What kind of tale is this? Who's Manji and why should we care about him? What's the genre like? Besides a faint whiff of Japaneseness, we have literally nothing to go on here.
Venus Doom. This feels awkward and strange. I think that revising it to Doom on Venus would probably help somewhat. I still have concerns, though. What kind of doom? Who is facing doom? Why should we care? This feels pretty melodramatic.
Man's Best Friend. What's the setting like? Whose dog are we talking about? This prepackaged phrase fails to tell us anything about this story except that there's a dog.
Vernal Equinox. This is impressive vocabulary, but why should I care? What about this equinox is so special that we will want to read about it?
The Lottery. What kind of lottery? (Money? Conscription? Something else?) What's at stake? Who's eligible? What sort of conflict are we looking at?
Time Will Tell. Too bland. This title fails to tell us anything about the story.
This article was the fifth part of a series. If you'd like to read our reviews of other batches of titles, please see the list just below.
Gethsemane isn't made up; it's biblical. It's still an awful title, but it's not made up.
Ahh, thanks for pointing that out. Although I was mistaken about it being invented, I think I would still rank it as awful. An author of religious fiction can probably identify himself to his niche of readers more artfully. For example, I found "The Book of Adam" acceptable and "Remaking God's Image" slightly better.
Gethsemane's the lake where Jesus is meant to have preached from the boat, isn't it?
I think the Garden of Gethsemane is where Jesus and his disciples prayed the night before his execution. It's in the Gospel of Matthew.
Hanuman's a god, too. And there's a story about a bridge in his mythology, too.
Yep, Hanuman was a Hindu god – in the Hindu epic the Ramayana, Rama had to build a bridge to Sri Lanka, but Hanuman challenged him to build a bridge capable of bearing him alone, and he repeatedly destroyed it because Rama didn't know his true identity. So I think that story would appeal to readers looking for a story themed around Hindu mythology.
Umm… Could you rate these?
Both are titles for the same story. The last one is my proposed replacement after reading this article.
I think "Reality Weavers" is alright, but it sets up a story entirely different than "Fireballs and Firefights" (which sort of sounds like the urban fantasy equivalent of "Shoot 'Em Up"). With "Reality Weavers," I think it might help to add a clause helping describe something key about the story.
I've been thinking of naming my book "Inside Man".
It's the one about the guy that fights with a robot. I'm not using Inside Man as his superhero name, just the title.
To those that don't know what I'm talking about, I explained it in What Makes a Character Likable.
"The Moral Transformation of The Sinister Jaguar, and All Those Around Her." Hmm… I think it would help to show more and tell less. I'd recommend starting over on this one with a more informal tone.
My friend needs help on the title for a short story on dog heaven. Help?
The working title for my fantasy novel is "Renounce". Renounce in itself relates to the theme of the story, being abandonment and being left behind, yada yada…but I'm generally struggling to find a better title.
I'm still really young and I'm still in the world-building and character development stage of my novel. I haven't even hammered down a plot. I've seen lots of people claim that the best titles come once the story itself is written, hence why "Renounce" is my working title.
What else would you suggest for finding/fixing up the title of your book?
When you've drafted the story, I'd generally suggest 2-7 words for a title. I think that'd give you an opportunity to convey more information about the plot than "Renounce" provides. I'd recommend finishing a draft before spending more time on the title, though.

This Year's MST3K Halloween Playlist
Watching bad movies made hilarious in a marathon is my favorite Halloween tradition. This year's choices:
MST3K:
Being from Another Planet
Shari Belafonte, Mr Ben Murphy (the Ben Murphyist), a homicidal mummy/alien, and the worst Halloween costume party ever.
The Dead Talk Back
A dismal, odd film with screendom's least convincing seance. Stay for the twist ending.
Roger Corman's take on demonology and time travel, with Halloween decorations used as authentic medieval props
Cinematic Titanic
Unlikable family doing unlikable things for John Carradine's money in the 70's.
Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks
Hilarious Eurotrash version of Frankenstein with added caveman and a dubbed Michael Dunn from the Wild Wild West.
Rifftrax
Voodoo Man
An embarrassed Bela Lugosi and an unembarrassable John Carradine prance around a spooky mansion and play with black magic.
The finale is this quintessential Halloween movie with Vincent Price. Not that it's good, just quintessential. And never mind those huge plot holes (yeah, open pool of acid in the basement, great housing idea!).
'Gladiator' (Scott, 2000) and 'Paths of Glory' (Kubrick, 1957): Borrowed Scenes and a Polemic on Violence
Seán Easton runs a great blog about the echoes and themes of Classics in modern media, Centuries Coexist. He teaches at Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota.
Centuries Coexist
Ridley Scott's Gladiator is widely (and accurately) seen as the combination and recreation of Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus (1960) and Anthony Mann's Fall of the Roman Empire (1966). Important parts of the the beginning and ending of Scott's film, however, are modeled on Kubrick's World War I film Paths of Glory. Scott borrows from Paths of Glory in part because that film offers him models for the sort of character and issue that he is concerned with in Gladiator. Also, I believe Scott is engaging in a polemic with Kubrick's anti-war message. Gladiator's allusions to Paths of Glory footnote Scott's debt to the earlier film, but they also serve to distinguish what he is doing from what Kubrick did.
In Paths of Glory, Kirk Douglas' Col. Dax is a just and courageous man. He leads his troops in battle, sharing the danger, and does not care about career or laurels. In this regard, he is very much like Maximus in

Happy DeathDay Shakespeare!
Today is the anniversary of the death of Shakespeare.
Back in college I wrote a play about a theater company in 1933 Berlin trying to put on "the Scottish Play". A great group of friends and I put it on, and I've recently released its updated (and improved) script. You can find it here.
Here also is a bit of Shakespearean fun from the Black Adder
Things could be worse… It could be Octavian.
While the US Republican party (who lost the last two elections) seems bent on doing as much damage as they can to the country in a petulant tantrum, and things look bleak, we can at least say things today are better than Rome during the summer of 41 BCE.
That was when Octavian returned to Rome after he and Antony defeated Brutus, Cassius and the other assassins of Caesar. Octavian, only 22 years-old, was nominally in charge of the western empire by his rights of conquest (and the power he commanded by his own personal army). Unfortunately for him, few in the senate took him seriously, and they were eager to block any of his plans, including the legislation he needed to provide land for his veterans.
Octavian decided to force the issue and just had his veterans seize farmland in Italy, displacing farmers who the state refused to reimburse. The veterans also decided to take more than what they were allotted (because they could) and caused further disruption.
The formidable Fulvia, Mark Antony's wife, was also in town. She hated Octavian, insisting on making his life difficult by demanding he share all of his duties with Antony's sons (who were six and four respectively) to avoid causing offense. Antony's brother Lucius was one of the consuls, and he also blocked Octavian's agenda, mostly because he missed the Republic and thought the Triumvirate was horrible. Eventually Fulvia and Lucius joined forces and began to champion the dispossessed farmers against Octavian, threatening another civil war. Negotiations broke down so Fulvia and Lucius, the legally elected consul, fled to the town of Praeneste 22 miles away and declared themselves the government in exile, in open revolt against Octavian.
Another civil war began. Lucius and Octavian each began raising troops, sending out recruiters into Italian cities who often came to blows when they showed up at the same place. Again the Italian cities were forced to pick a side, with destruction and ruin assured if they chose the wrong one. There were riots.
Meanwhile the rest of the western empire devolved into chaos. Sextus Pompey, the last remaining son of Pompey had seized Sicily and was operating as a pirate raiding the Italian coast. Another fleet, commanded by a partisan of the assassins of Caesar who was still around, roamed the waves and attacked the Triumvirate's navy whenever it could. Troops in Africa, equally divided in loyalty between Octavian and Antony's family, came to blows under rival commanders. Scores died. The king of Mauretania, a supporter of the Antony family, took advantage of this bedlam in Africa and launched an expedition across the straights of Gibraltar to attack Octavian's Spain.
Oh, and all during this, the city of Rome suffered widespread famine due to Sextus Pompey's blockade of Sicily.
Meanwhile, Antony and Cleopatra sailed up and down the Nile, relaxing.

French poet
Alternative Title: René-François-Armand Prudhomme
Sully Prudhomme, pseudonym of René-François-Armand Prudhomme, (born March 16, 1839, Paris—died Sept. 7, 1907, Châtenay, France), French poet who was a leading member of the Parnassian movement, which sought to restore elegance, balance, and aesthetic standards to poetry, in reaction to the excesses of Romanticism. He was awarded the first Nobel Prize for Literature in 1901.
Sully Prudhomme studied science at school but was forced by an eye illness to renounce a scientific career. His first job was as a clerk in a factory office, which he left in 1860 to study law. In 1865 he began to publish fluent and melancholic verse inspired by an unhappy love affair. Stances et poemes (1865) contains his best known poem, Le vase brisé ("The Broken Vase"). Les Épreuves (1866; "Trials"), and Les Solitudes (1869; "Solitude") are also written in this first, sentimental style.
Sully Prudhomme later renounced personal lyricism for the more objective approach of the Parnassians, writing poems attempting to represent philosophical concepts in verse. Two of the best known works in this vein are La Justice (1878; "Justice") and Le Bonheur (1888; "Happiness"), the latter an exploration of the Faustian search for love and knowledge. Sully Prudhomme's later work is sometimes obscure and shows a naive approach to the problem of expressing philosophical themes in verse. He was elected to the French Academy in 1881.
Paris, city and capital of France, situated in the north-central part of the country. People were living on the site of the present-day city, located along the Seine River some 233 miles (375 km) upstream from the river's mouth on the English Channel (La Manche), by about 7600 bce. The modern city…

The Northern Ireland Peace Process and the International Context
Benjamin Williams (2010)
Academic / Educational History Non-fiction
The USA has taken a renewed interest in Northern Ireland, the European Union has continued to evolve as a trans-national organisation and has also sought to influence the easing of sectarian tensions in Northern Ireland. This book seeks to assess the overall impact that such global developments have had on the Northern Ireland peace process.
The Northern Ireland Peace Process and the International Context quantity
Northern Ireland is currently enjoying a period of relative peace and stability unprecedented for much of the past half century. Such stability is the product of a variety of factors that has created conditions whereby Northern Ireland now runs its own political institutions for the first time since the early 1970s.
International relations and developments since the early 1980s have had a key influence on the Northern Ireland process, and such external influences require renewed attention in assessing the evolution of the Northern Ireland conflict and the recent progress towards long-term peace.
Since the abrupt end of the Cold War in the early 1990s in particular, the Northern Ireland dispute, along with many other inter-ethnic conflicts, has felt the repercussions of such geo-political changes, both positive and negative. In this context, many external states, forces and individuals have wielded significant influence over Northern Ireland's development.
The world's only remaining superpower, the USA, has particularly taken a renewed interest in Northern Ireland, an interest bolstered by a President with a genuine interest in the province. Other long-term external disputes such as the Middle East conflict and South Africa's advance from apartheid have also been inter-linked with the Northern Ireland dispute. The European Union has continued to evolve as a trans-national organisation, and has also sought to influence the easing of sectarian tensions in Northern Ireland.
This book seeks to assess the overall impact that such global developments have undoubtedly had on the Northern Ireland peace process, and attempts to offer fresh interpretations of a complex element within that process.

With 7 points, they are sitting at the 4th place in the table. They started with 3 losses and thus reduced, if not put to an end, their chances of going through the group stage. So far, they've only managed to defeat Gibraltar in both legs, and draw at home against Estonia. The away leg against Gibraltar is their most recent match. Even though they won 1 – 2, which is certainly not bad for the overall record, it did not significantly increase their chances.
Bosnia-Herzegovina is ranked third in the table with 11 points. They have lost only one match, when they played away against Belgium and were defeated 4 – 0. Beside that loss, they have three clean-sheets wins and two draws.
Bosnia-Herzegovina has much more to gain from this encounter. They are coming from the goal-less draw at home against Greece that has only a point more than them. Even though it's a long shot, they can still hope about finishing second.
Including the first leg of this group stage, they met 3 times and Bosnia twice. Their first two duels ended with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals. Only their most recent encounter ended without both teams scoring; Bosnia won 2 – 0, both goals were scored by Dzeko, who is one of their greatest assets.
Bosnia is generally in a better shape, and they are expected to win this match. Both teams are going to fight hard, and we can expect more than 3 goals.
Total goals over 2.5 @ 1.98 – William Hill.

THURSDAY, July 12, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- In a country where four out of 10 adults are obese, it's probably good news that half of U.S. adults say they've recently tried to shed some pounds.
They did this most often through exercise, cutting calories and eating their fruits and veggies, according to a new government survey that tracked Americans' weight-loss attempts between 2013 and 2016.
Overall, 49 percent of respondents said they'd tried to lose weight in the past year -- including two-thirds of those who were obese.
As of 2016, almost 40 percent of American adults were obese, according to researchers with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
So it's important to know how many Americans are trying to lose weight -- and how they're doing it, said Kirsten Herrick, a senior research fellow with the NCHS who worked on the study.
There were some positive signs, said a registered dietitian who wasn't involved in the research.
The most common weight-loss methods were exercise and eating less -- each reported by 63 percent of people aiming to shed pounds. And half said they were eating more fruits, vegetables and salads.
"The good news is that people seem to recognize that weight loss is about changing habits, not quick-fix diets," said Connie Diekman, director of university nutrition at Washington University in St. Louis.
Sustainable diet changes are critical, Diekman said. That includes cutting sugary, fat-laden junk food, and replacing it with plenty of fruits, vegetables, fiber-rich grains and other healthful whole foods.
Regular exercise can improve your overall health, and may aid in weight loss, Diekman noted. But, she said, people need to make lasting changes in how they eat, rather than try fad diets.
The report was based on a nationally representative sample of Americans aged 20 and older. Many people said they'd tried to lose weight in the past year, though the figures varied among different groups.
Women were more likely than men to have aimed for weight loss (56 percent versus 42 percent), the findings showed.
Income made a difference as well, with wealthier men and women significantly more likely to say they tried to slim down.
It's possible, Herrick said, that the disparity could reflect the barriers low-income Americans can face when it comes to losing weight -- like having the time and place to exercise, or being able to afford healthy food.
But, she added, it's impossible to know from this survey.
Besides turning to exercise and veggies, survey respondents also commonly said they'd cut down on junk food and fast food, and tried to limit sugar. Many said they "drank a lot of water." The vast majority of people who tried to lose weight said they'd used at least two tactics.
What's not clear is how often those efforts paid off.
Diekman pointed out that the "report provides a glimpse of what Americans are doing to achieve a healthy weight, but what it does not show is how individuals are doing."
Since most Americans are overweight or obese, she added, doctors and other health providers should be asking people about how they view their weight and their health.
If you need help managing your weight, Diekman suggested talking to your doctor, who may refer you to a dietitian.
Having a plan that is "practical, achievable and maintainable" is key, she said.
The report was published July 12 in the CDC's NCHS Data Brief.
The U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute has advice on achieving a healthy weight.

Q: unable to insert html code inside filter? Angualr JS code:
$scope.rupee = $filter('currency')($scope.dols * 67.33, 'INR', 3);

I am trying to insert html code inside this filter. That is instead of 'INR', I wish to get ₹ symbol. Please help me to solve this. And the problem is not getting the ₹ through filter. Instead of 'INR', I want to use &#8377 but it's not rendering as I expected.
html code:

{{rupee}}

A: Modify your statement to
$scope.rupee = $filter('currency')($scope.dols * 67.33, '\u20B9', 3);

As you asked, "Can we write HTML code inside symbolFormat parameter?"
Answer will be below:

It takes a string parameter, so whatever string you are providing, it will be used to apply as currency symbol
For reference you can check Here

A: You can try like this:

{{ currency_expression | currency : symbol : fractionSize}}

$scope.rupee = $filter('currency')($scope.dols * 67.33, '₹', 3);

See all use cases (currency symbol & sign - in controller & directly on view):

    From controller with sign

    {{rupeeSign}}

    From controller with code

    {{rupeeCode}}

    From view

    {{ price | currency:'₹'}}

function RupeeCtrl($scope, $filter) {
    $scope.price = 75.255;
    $scope.rupeeSign = $filter('currency')($scope.price, '₹', 3);
    $scope.rupeeCode = $filter('currency')($scope.price, '\u20B9', 3);
}

JSFiddle
Mixed with answer from @Romesh Jain

A: This looks like a duplicate question to this: How to get specific currency symbol(rupee symbol in my case) in angular js instead of the default one (dollar $ symbol)
Just use this ASCII code for the Rupee symbol: ₹
See the ASCII code here: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/20b9/index.htm

Check whether the Software and system extension for "AC 800M Status monitoring" is loaded in all the nodes of the system. Hope this could solve your problem.
Great....It was the problem...and its resolved now.
pls like my comment..i you don't mind..thanks..
Typically this kind of error means that you have included an Extension in the 800xA system, but forgotten to install that extension on the engineering station where you are creating the IO module.
I would guess the message comes from AC800M Status reporting.
I will check what all the extensions are missing.


You've probably heard of menopause, commonly known as the time when menstrual periods stop permanently, and woman is no longer able to bear children. The menopause is a natural part of ageing that usually occurs between 45 and 55 years of age, as a woman's estrogen levels decline. However, around 1 in 100 women experience the menopause before 40 years of age. BBC released a story of Annabelle, a 15 years old school girl with premature menopause.

Q: Fancybox works if I add a class manually but not with jQuery .addClass() I have the following JS code, which I add Fancybox classes to all hrefs on a page:
$(function(){

    //set target var
    var $targetTable = $('.photo-frame a');

    //loop trough each table and insert the fancybox class on the href tag
    $targetTable.each(function() {
        $targetTable.addClass('fancybox');
    });

});

This works because the fancybox class is added, but the fancybox is not triggered. But if I add this class manually in the browser-editor and click on the image fancybox is triggered.
I have also tried the following, but without result:
$('.photo-frame a').addClass('fancybox');

Does anyone have any idea where this may be due to?

A: When you hardcode the class It works because its present when the DOM is build but its not the same with the later case.
You need to reinitialize fancybox by  $(".fancybox").fancybox();
$(function(){

    //set target var
    var $targetTable = $('.photo-frame a');

    //loop trough each table and insert the fancybox class on the href tag
    $targetTable.each(function() {
        $targetTable.addClass('fancybox');
    });

    $(".fancybox").fancybox();

});

A: Your code + the correct fancybox initialization works fine
$(function () {
    // initialize fancybox
    $(".fancybox").fancybox();

    //set target var
    var $targetTable = $('.photo-frame a');
    //loop trough each table and insert the fancybox class on the href tag
    $targetTable.each(function () {
        $targetTable.addClass('fancybox');
    });
});

The following, as suggested by void, also works
$(function () {

    //set target var
    var $targetTable = $('.photo-frame a');
    //loop trough each table and insert the fancybox class on the href tag
    $targetTable.each(function () {
        $targetTable.addClass('fancybox');
    });

    // initialize fancybox
    $(".fancybox").fancybox();
});

This, as suggested by Jeremy Thille, also works
$(function () {
    $('.photo-frame a').fancybox();

    // initialize fancybox
    $(".fancybox").fancybox();
});

... in any order
$(function () {
    // initialize fancybox
    $(".fancybox").fancybox();

    $('.photo-frame a').fancybox();
});

So, my guess? something in your code is triggering a js error that prevents your addClass code and fancybox from working.
You better check your errors before asking.

6Qs with Percussionist Simona Abdallah //
byLana Daoud
Simona Abdallah is one of a handful of women in the world playing the tablah, the hand-drum used by Middle-Eastern ensembles. A Palestinian who grew up in Denmark, she has a lot to say as she brilliantly lets her tablah do the talking. Hearing her newly released single, "Reach Out" is like listening to ethereal sounds engage in a passionate conversation. It's the first track off of the album she's currently working on, and we can also look forward to her upcoming tour with Natasha Atlas. When she's not playing the tabla, she works as a life and business coach, "I love to play, and let the people feel the energy and the beats, she says. "But I also love to be on the other side listening and helping people reach their full potential." Here, she tells us more…
Rock Band: Bon Jovi
Jazz Artist: Madeleine Peyroux
Bicycle or Car: Bicycle
1. How were you introduced to playing the tablah (darbuka)?
There are always so many weddings and parties to attend as an Arab, and it was during these weddings that the percussion player would fascinate me. It's so little, yet so powerful — so many tones and beats. I started to play at around 14 years, and always listened to classical Arabic. It was a bit difficult with my upbringing to go out much, so I learned to play what I heard in my room.
2. How much did your choice of instrument have to do with shaping your identity?
I had to follow my dreams even if it was going to be rough. I asked myself what would be the worst thing to happen? People are going to talk? When I have interviews with Danish media, I have to explain how my family didn't allow me to play. But I really don't care, because people will talk no matter I do.
If I was married and had children, people were still going to talk. That's how it is for an Arab girl. Today I'm very thankful to have this life, which I had dreamed of.
3. Is there a genre of music you would be curious to pair with the tablah?
I love old, classic Arabic music like Um Kulthoum. I'm all for an Um Kulthoum remix done from a whole new perspective. Also remixes of the old songs by Abdel Haleem and the Rahbani Brothers. Originally, this is what inspired me — a love for mixing the traditional with the New Age beats and sounds. I'm curious about mixing anything with Arabic rhythms.
People want to be safe, and I say do something new, and just put it out there. Many cultures might identify with what they hear.
I also love to play with different musicians that have been playing jazz. A few days ago, I played with a oud player and a double bass/contra bass. It sounded so jazzy and special with just the three of us playing. I'm checking out electronic, indie, and ambient but that will take a little time. I love to get a piece of every culture, because there's beauty in each culture.
5. What is Missing Voices?
After playing in public for five years, A Danish Muslim woman called me and said she's starting a project. Even though I hate to use religion in what I'm doing, because it's a private thing for me, she said she was collecting women who can play concerts all over the world to be an inspiration for Middle Eastern women. This includes concerts and workshops to help other women follow their dream. We have toured the UK and Holland, and will be in the Middle East, Sweden, and Norway this summer. It's all about motivating women since there are often cultural preventions that keep them from believing in themselves. Whenever you hear about women from the Middle East, it's always about how they're victims. Missing Voices tries to be a role model, and help others reach goals in the process.
6. What has been the most interesting venue that you've played so far?
I have been part of the Middle East Peace Orchestra, which is a mix of Jews, Christians, and Palestinians playing for peace. One of my most unforgettable gigs was when we played for the Queen of Denmark. That was so much fun! We played, and then there was a reception where we all had to face her. We're not allowed to stand to our back to her, or the prince, so there she was right in front of us!

Peace in mind, thought, word and action
Saturday of 17th week in ordinary time, based on Matthew 14:1-1
At that time Herod the ruler heard reports about Jesus; and he said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist; he has been raised from the dead, and for this reason these powers are at work in him." For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because John had been telling him, "It is not lawful for you to have her." Though Herod wanted to put him to death, he feared the crowd, because they regarded him as a prophet. But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company, and she pleased Herod so much that he promised on oath to grant her whatever she might ask. Prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter." The king was grieved, yet out of regard for his oaths and for the guests, he commanded it to be given; he sent and had John beheaded in the prison. The head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, who brought it to her mother. His disciples came and took the body and buried it; then they went and told Jesus.

Good preaching, right on target with the scripture and a helpful message for me and my life. One suggestion I might make, however, is that you could have stopped after the excellent poem in the middle. After that, you mainly circled back to what you had already said. There was good build up to that point and it would have made a strong finish.
Nick Punch, O.P.
Dear Teresa,
I liked the topicality of your message, we have to learn to apply the messages to ourselves. Thank you. It was a bit long, but I also had time to listen!

Results A total of 4014 subjects were enrolled and registered during the initial recruitment flap inhibitor from September 2013 through March 2015. In total, 167 subjects were excluded because of missing pivotal data such as height, body weight, or age (date of birth). Finally, 3847 subjects were analyzed for baseline characteristics as shown in Table 1. The mean CHADS2 score was 1.81±1.27, the mean CHADS2-Vasc score was 3.02±1.58, and the mean HAS-BLED score was 2.23±1.06. The usage rate of warfarin was 44.2% overall, and the usage rate of NOACs was 33.5%.
Discussion In earlier years, studies comparing antiplatelet agents such as aspirin salicylate and thienopyridine derivatives with vitamin K-dependent oral anticoagulants and coumarin derivatives such as warfarin were performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of these drugs for the prevention of thrombotic diseases in subjects with AF [21,22]. Warfarin use with dosage adjustments by prothrombin time-international normalized ratio monitoring strategies was shown to be significantly more effective compared to antiplatelet agents by various clinical trials so far [23–25]. However, although warfarin effectively prevents the development of thrombotic diseases in patients with AF [26,27], the inherent laborious and complex dosage adjustments seemed to cause a low utilization rate of warfarin in relatively lower doses in various clinical observational trials performed in Japan, including the Fushimi AF Registry by Akao et al. [28–30]. In the Fushimi AF Registry, warfarin-based anticoagulant therapies were not widely used in actual clinical settings, with a utilization rate of only 48.5%. In our current analyses, the utilization rate of warfarin was about 44.2%, but the total utilization rate of anticoagulants increased to 77.7% (Table 1). The drugs prescribed to the remaining subjects were antiplatelet agents, such as acetylsalicylic acid, or no drug was prescribed to prevent thrombotic diseases, reflecting the so-called "underuse" of anticoagulants seen in the Fushimi AF Registry. In addition, potential pharmacological dilemmas have led to risk/benefit conflicts. Inappropriate use of warfarin has sometimes resulted in unexpected hemorrhagic events, such as cerebral hemorrhage and gastrointestinal hemorrhage, which can be lethal. As compared with Caucasians, various clinical trials have shown that Asians have a higher risk of cerebral hemorrhage; patients receiving warfarin or other anticoagulants must therefore be closely monitored [31–34]. Other factors such as numerous drug/drug and drug/food interactions and an increased risk of excessive bleeding [35,36] have also discouraged the use of warfarin in Asia. In particular, Asians have a 4-fold higher risk of warfarin-induced intracranial hemorrhage as well as major gastrointestinal bleeding compared to non-Asians [33,37]. These factors have also had a negative impact on the effective use of warfarin, contributing to substantial underutilization . To resolve such "unmet" needs in actual clinical settings, NOACs, such as dabigatran, apixaban, rivaroxaban, and edoxaban, were recently developed and successively launched in Japan. Finally, we have entered the era of NOACs for the management of AF. To date, multiple phase III clinical trials and subsequent post-hoc analyses assessing the efficacy and the safety of NOACs have shown either non-inferiority or superiority to warfarin treatment [17–20]. The efficacy and the safety of dose adjustments in accordance with the individual characteristics of patients, including factors such as post-ischemic stroke [39,40], advanced age [41,42], and concurrent renal impairment [43,44], have been examined under various clinical conditions. Owing to racial differences from patients enrolled in international clinical trials, Japanese clinical trials have consistently shown Lytic infection NOACs are effective and safe in Japanese patients [33,45–49]. In Japan, NOACs as well as warfarin can be used under national coverage by the public health-care insurance system, placing a lower financial burden on patients than that in other countries. Because clinical trials are generally performed in artificially controlled circumstances, the safety and efficacy demonstrated by such studies is generally limited. Unexpected complications and adverse effects or unknown clinical issues that are newly identified should be tested and clarified in actual clinical settings. ASSAF-K is characterized by the participation of medical practitioners in Kanagawa, Japan, which is a representative urban area in a modern developed country. ASSAF-K is expected to reveal the current status of the treatment and outcomes of patients with AF, including rates of compliance with clinical guidelines, and to provide proof of the correctness or inadequacy of current guideline-based treatments for AF in Japan.

Love this! Pinning it now.
very nice & easy idea! & great tutorial you made! thank you!
What a great idea! I have little bits and pieces of candles that I just don't throw out (hoarder much?!)! I'm so going to try this!
Love this idea! Especially when you have several of the same that have only been half used!!
I've been meaning to try this technique because I have so many half burnt candles lying around. I can't get myself to toss them bc candles are SOOOOO expensive nowadays! Glad you were happy with this project!
Could you have just used the mason jar you used to melt the old candles as the holder for your new candle?
Fantastic idea. I have some beeswax that I want to make into a candle.
JM- I tried that but the wick kept moving making it impossible to pour wax in.
I'd say that is pretty fantastic. I have a slew of candles I could throw in! I like the idea of pounding stuff. Haha!
Oooh I love this! It does seem like you typically only get 30% of a candle's worth out of the first burn-through. Your final candle looks amazing too!
Awesome!! I'll have to remember this next time I have some left overs.
Oh my gosh this is genius! Have I mentioned I love these Pinterest projects! Some really good ideas! I have so many old candles lying around.
Such a great idea! Thanks for sharing! I hope you are having a wonderful day!
Fabulous idea. So glad it worked - love saving money and getting something neat in the process.
Great idea! I might try this one day ;).
Super cool idea, now I am pinning this. :) Thanks friend!
Thanks so much for sharing!! If you don't mind, I'm going to feature this in my Saturday Sensationals post!
What a great idea, my old candles usually end up in the trash...I'll have to remember this!
i need to do this for an Easter decoration. Candles using egg shells at the candle holder, saw it on Pinterest. too cute, good to know I can melt down the wax instead of buying wax beads at Michaels, yay for saving money!
I've occasionally used old candles for making things. It seems like I always have some was leftover after the candle won't burn anymore!
did u add scent to the wax?

By JoJo Adams on November 6, 2020
Posted in Back-To-Work, COVID-19, Labor and Employment
COVID-19 has caused many challenges in the workplace. Employees are working from home, working hybrid schedules, and conducting meetings by Zoom and other "not in person" methods.
While things in today's workplace range from fluid to uncertain to sometimes chaotic, employers are not relieved from complying with federal and state employment laws and requirements. There is no "COVID-19" exception to Title VII. Employers must still comply with federal and state employment rules that existed prior to COVID-19. With this in mind, employers need to make sure they are operating their businesses in a manner that allows them to defend the types of claims and allegations that often occur in the workplace.…

Governor Ivey Imposes Statewide Mask Requirement for Alabama
By Mac B. Greaves & Kary Wolfe on July 16, 2020
Posted in COVID-19, Labor and Employment, Legislative Updates
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey entered an amended order to her original Safer at Home order on July 15, 2020. It generally requires masks or face coverings to be worn when people are within six feet of someone from a different household in the following situations: (1) indoor spaces that are open to the public; (2) in vehicles operated by transportation services; and (3) in outdoor public spaces where 10 or more people are gathered. There are a number of exceptions to the requirement, however, and generally businesses are not legally obligated to exclude customers or employees who refuse to wear a mask when required.
This order specifically impacts the workplace. It goes into effect on Thursday, July 16, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. and runs through Friday, July 31, 2020. The following items relate particularly to employers and their employees:…

No Visas For You
By Laurie Riley & Mary Ellen Burggraf Jordan on June 26, 2020
In April, President Donald Trump imposed a 60-day ban on permanent resident cards issued abroad. The ban was supposed to expire on June 22. On that day, he signed an executive order that (1) extended this ban through the end of 2020 and (2) now restricts foreign nationals from outside the United States from using certain temporary employment-based visas through the end of the year. This order took effect June 24 and could have a significant impact on your business operations.

New Louisiana Law Grants COVID-19 Liability Protection to Businesses
By Chris Mann on June 17, 2020
Posted in Back-To-Work, COVID-19, Insurance, Labor and Employment, Legislative Updates, Pandemics
As businesses attempt to navigate the post-COVID-19 landscape, one issue of concern is the possibility of claims for alleged COVID-19 exposure being brought by both customers and employees. These concerns have been complicated by the often conflicting guidance or requirements being placed on businesses from local, state, and federal governments or agencies. While there is ongoing discussion at the federal level of legislation to provide some liability protections for businesses in certain circumstances, several states are stepping into the void and enacting legislation of their own. Louisiana has now followed Oklahoma, North Carolina, and several other states in enacting legislation that grants liability protections for businesses from these type of claims.

OSHA Issues Revised Enforcement Guidance for Recording Cases of COVID-19
On May 19, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) revised its policy for when employers have to record COVID-19 cases in their injury and illness logs.
Under the revised policy, employers who are otherwise required to keep OSHA logs must make a determination as to whether workers' COVID-19 cases are job-related. Previously, OSHA took the position that only healthcare employers, corrections facilities, and emergency-response providers were required to make that determination.…

COVID-19 Brings Temporary Changes to I-9 and E-Verify Procedures
By Laurie Riley & Mary Ellen Burggraf Jordan on May 8, 2020
Recognizing the profound impact COVID-19 is having on the way businesses operate, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has implemented temporary employment verification procedures to address some of these issues.
Form I-9 Inspection of Documents
Now and in the near future, employers taking physical proximity precautions due to COVID-19 will not be required to review an employee's identity and employment authorization documents in person. Section 2, however, should still be completed within three business days of hire. Here's how it will work:
The employer may inspect the Section 2 documents remotely (i.e., via video link, fax, or email, etc.). As always, we recommend (and it may be required due to participation in E-Verify) retaining copies of the documents presented.
Once physical inspection takes place, employers will enter "COVID-19" as the reason for the physical inspection delay in the field titled "Additional Information" in Section 2.
Once normal operations resume, employees who were hired using remote verification must report to the employer within three business days for in-person verification of identity and employment eligibility documentation.
Once the original documents have been physically inspected, the employer should add "documents physically examined" with the date of inspection to the Section 2 Additional Information field or to Section 3 (if documents presented remotely have since expired).
These provisions may be implemented by employers through May 19 (which could be extended) or within three business days after the termination of the National Emergency, whichever comes first.
Employers who utilize these procedures must provide written documentation of their remote onboarding and telework policy for each employee.

I finally met Author Sawyer Bennett's alter ego, Juliette Poe, and oh was this a different side of Sawyer! Where Sawyer Bennett's books are hot and heated, Juliette Poe's are more sensual, soft, and slow. Juliette Poe's latest sensation transports you to the sweet, small-town South where tradition, history, grace, manners, and more rule. Stubborn as a Mule is SASSY and SWEET SOUTHERN GOODNESS!!!
Beautiful Meli is a wealthy New Yorker relocates to a small North Carolina town to chase down her past and slow down her life. I loved her smartness and sass!
Meli never thought she'd encounter a roadblock and very unwelcoming party in the form of hot, Southern man candy, Lowe. I could not help but chuckle at their heated and humorous banter. Meli and Lowe are Yankee ice meets Southern heat who MELT together!
What's not to like about a man who shuts a woman up with his lips?
These opposites can't help but attract, and oh did connection ignite like fireworks!
Lowe, this Southern gentleman, made me both blush and swoon! I LOVED Lowe!!! I could not help but read his lines with a Southern accent, one way stronger than my slight one.
The booming sound coming from downstairs causes me to sit straight up on the mattress that is placed in the middle of the master bedroom floor. I've yet to get a good night's sleep because there's a damn train that runs parallel to the town. It's just two blocks over from the Mainer House, and it feels the need to blow its whistle around two AM each morning. This isn't that big of a deal to most of the residents of the small town of Whynot, but to me… it chafes just a little because, well… I love my sleep.
I've been assured by the nice lady who runs Sweet Cakes, the bakery right across the street from Mainer House, that I'll get used to it, but I seriously doubt it. Even the noise of New York City never penetrated my sleep the way a train whistle does, and I get a totally empathetic look from her when I stagger in for some coffee and a cheese Danish each morning.
I think I've slipped into a pattern at night where I now anticipate being woken up by that stupid train, so I'm not even able to get into good REM sleep. It's probably why I shot straight up in bed at the banging that's going on downstairs, although I can't quite pinpoint from where it's coming. A glance at the alarm clock sitting on the floor shows it's 5:30 AM. It's still dark outside, and I'm slightly—okay, greatly—confused. I struggle to process since it's been almost two weeks since I came to Whynot and I've not had a decent night's sleep since then.
Then it penetrates… someone's at my front door.
Immediate anger flows through my veins, heating me up from within. Without any further consternation, I know it's Lowe Mancinkus causing all that noise. It must be him because there's no one else in the entire world who has ever been such a thorn in my side.
Flipping the blanket back, I roll off the mattress and wince as my knees hit the floor. Almost three decades of sleeping on a mattress, box spring, and a frame, and I can't get used to being only a few inches off the floor. I've held off on buying any furniture for the house until the remodeling is complete.
Pushing first to my hands and knees, I manage to lurch upright and stagger out of the bedroom. Down the rotund, sweeping staircase to the main floor. I don't even bother to look out the leaded glass panels on either side of the heavy wooden door—so convinced I am that it's Lowe on the other side—that I fling it open without an ounce of worry.
"What in the holy hell are you doing?" I snarl as the breeze generated from the doorway swinging open so fast actually blows my hair back.
Lowe stands there in mid-bang, fist raised high and a diabolical glitter to his eyes. His eyes lock onto mine for just a moment before they drop and casually run down the length of my frame. I look down at myself and cringe as I realize I'm still in my pajamas, which in the sweltering South consists of a cotton tank top and sleep shorts that are really short. My hand falls from the doorknob, and I cross my arms over my chest as Lowe looks back up at me.
And why does he have to be so damned gorgeous? In ordinary circumstances, this man pushes all my girlie buttons. Tall, just enough muscle to be strong but not freakish, and that dark chocolate hair with bright hazel eyes that are every woman's fantasy. I always have to remind myself he's a nasty SOB who I wouldn't give the time of day to… in ordinary circumstances, that is.
"I'm here to start work," he says casually as he pushes past me into the main foyer.
"It's five-freaking-thirty in the morning," I grit out, not moving from the open doorway. I expect him to be walking right back out again.
"Get some decent clothes on, and I wouldn't be forced to look through your cupboards for nonexistent coffee," he replies calmly, moving onto the next cabinet even though I've told him I have no coffee.
In fact, I have hardly anything at all here. A mattress, pillow, sheets, and blanket in the bedroom, some orange juice in the fridge, and towels in the master bathroom. Those are the only creature comforts at this point, and they're enough to get me through the remodeling. I've been eating out almost every meal and this is not a hardship as that's pretty much what I do when I'm back home in New York. One, however, can only eat so many grits and collards, although I'll take them over fatback and pickled pigs feet any day.

Q: how to exclude a jar from an sdk in gradle Hi guys I am trying to exclude a jar libs from this vungle sdk compile 'com.admost.sdk:vungle:5.3.0', the common libs that are in the sdk and I am using which causing the prob are dagger-2.7, gson-2.7 and rxjava-1.2.0 I have tried all the ways I found all did not work.
the error I am getting when building the project is

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForStagingDebug'.
  java.io.IOException: Can't write [D:\Geeky\Work\UFL\UFL-Android\app\build\intermediates\multi-dex\staging\debug\componentClasses.jar] (Can't read [C:\Users\bisho.gradle\caches\transforms-1\files-1.1\vungle-5.3.0.aar\b93710fa3315099ee82cab738c995134\jars\libs\dagger-2.7.jar(;;;;;;**.class)] (Duplicate zip entry [dagger-2.7.jar:dagger/Reusable.class]))

A: Select Project instead of android in the left pane window. See the image below.
Delete the jar if not using. Remove the reference from gradle too. It should work.

A: You can build this sdk like below example:

    compile("com.github.vungle:vungle-android-sdk:5.3.0") {
            exclude group: 'com.google.dagger', module: 'dagger'
            exclude group: 'com.google.code.gson', module: 'gson'
            exclude group: 'io.reactivex.rxjava2', module: 'rxjava'
    }

A: **To find duplicate dependencies or its required dependencies, you can visualize library dependencies in tree. Execute gradle command as below.**

run gradlew in Windows as below.
**gradlew -q dependencies yourProject:dependencies --configuration compile**

The command result will show you human-readable tree hierarchy of all dependencies as below.

compile - Classpath for compiling the main sources.
+--- org.androidannotations:androidannotations-api:3.2
+--- com.android.support:support-annotations:22.1.1
+--- com.squareup:otto:1.3.6
+--- in.srain.cube:grid-view-with-header-footer:1.0.10
+--- com.nostra13.universalimageloader:universal-image-loader:1.9.3
+--- com.github.chrisbanes.photoview:library:1.2.3
+--- org.simpleframework:simple-xml:2.7.1
+--- com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:6.5.+ -> 6.5.87
+--- project :yourProject

|    +--- org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.2.5
|    |    \--- org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.2.4
|    \--- com.google.code.gson:gson:2.3.1
+--- project :facebook
|    \--- com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1
|         \--- com.android.support:support-v4:22.1.1
|              \--- com.android.support:support-annotations:22.1.1 -> 22.2.0

You can see overriden dependencies and decide in mind which ones should be avoided.
In above example, last line com.android.support:support-annotations presents overriden from 22.1.1 to 22.2.0 internally.
**To avoid duplicates**,you can add exclude clauses in each project build.gradle file.

compile('com.github.chrisbanes.photoview:library:1.2.3') {
exclude group: 'com.android.support'
}
compile('org.simpleframework:simple-xml:2.7.1') {
    exclude module: 'stax'
    exclude module: 'stax-api'
    exclude module: 'xpp3'
}
compile('com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:6.5.+')
{
        exclude module: 'support-v4'
}

1. Team Work – an essential requirement of mustering cattle is the team working together, the consequences of individuals trying to dominate and rushing the task, such as, moving towards the cattle too fast is that they will find the cattle will escape and the group needs to start again.
2. Leadership – a team member needs to delegate certain tasks to other team members and this provides an opportunity to empower employees for the day.
3. Communication – Without clear and concise communication within your team, mustering cattle is not possible. Develop your employee's ability to quickly and effectively convey new concepts and ideas to the group.
4. Contingency Planning – this activity will without a doubt be full of surprises and is a real test for participants to make changes when one strategy doesn't seem to work, a great lateral thinking exercise.


This cute little bag was made using the new gift bag punch board. I started with a piece of basic black card stock measuring 10 x 8. I used the Small score line and followed the board's directions. The finished size of the bag is 2 5/8" wide, 2" deep and 6 3/4" tall. I decorated the bag with a tag made using the curvy corner trio punch and the snow place stamp Ser and coordinating framelit, snow friends. I finished the tag off with a hello made with the greetings thinlits.
