Hello, how are you? How was New Year? Since last year we have not spoken! We are in a rush adding images, descriptions and prices on products that are many .... but we are already very close to opening the website on the internet. I have some things I wanted to see if you can help me.
1 - In the Menu when I add a featured product I want to replace the "see more" to "veja mais".
2 - On the product page, i would like that when the product is available in stock it appears in green, and when it is not in red.
3 - The Header I would like to be left blank "this light gray" and the search field be outlined in blue.
4 - In the "promotions" session in the home I did not find a place to translate the "days, hors, mins, sec" I want to change to: "Dias, Horas, Mins, Segs"
5 - I want the menus within the "departmentos" to be all the same size that is equal to the size of the menu.
I am sending attachment images trying to explain every thing better.
Anything we can talk on skype.
Hope that you are too.
Ok! It is at the secret information.
I sent all for the coder and I am waiting for his answers.
Ok! I m waiting for your response.
5. This requirement needs to put the code in theme. If we update in theme, there will be affect to some other client's sites (because the high of menu depends on the high of contents in menu) So it will belong to customized job, mate.
5- No problem for this point, i did the customization manualy!
6- Where can i edit the sucess message when somebody complete the trasation in the checkout?
7- We are looking for examples of sites using the wordmart template... Just because we are studing some updates, looking for improvements in questions like design, usability, structure, etc... Can u show me some examples? There is a site bigger in number of products than mine using wordmart?
4. It's quite difficult. Because your site is in the lower version. And you customized something in Main theme. We cannot check all your customized files for you. So you have to do it yourself.
3- it's at the image attached.
- i did the backup of the full site for my machine.
- i catched the original folder "template" at the original theme with the version 1.1.6 and did the comparison with the same folder in my ftp.... for what i saw everything was the same.... i am sending a print screen to show if it is correct.... if it is correct what can i do to do the update?
6- it is the screen with the message that everything was correct.
7- cant you tell me just some urls?
4. Yes, it's correct. The important thing is that you have to separate all the code you customized in the theme to somewhere else, then update Main theme. And the best way is that you should put all your customized codes (that you used to put for Main theme) in Child theme. It will be safe for your site when each time you update Main theme.
How can i do the theme update?
do you have a tutorial? can we talk in skype?
and how can i install the child?
- To update the theme, after you move all your customized files into another place, then you can update whole theme without updating each files of changelog. After that you can add again the customized files. However we recommend that you should add customized files into the Child theme. It will be safe.
Yame, the folder to compare with the original is the folder worldmart at public_html>wp-content>themes>worldmart? This is the folder that i need to compare? or i have to compare all the content inside of the ftp?
If it is ok, can you tell me the steps to do this theme update? and how can i install the child?
Yame! I did the update!!!! Looks like that everything is OK!!!!!!! Thanks GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i did the install of the child to! can you take a look if its ok? I have to activate the child?
So do you need any assistance from us?
Yes, i installed the child and it is now at the themes section at my adm panel.. I only have to activate and use as usual?
At the page https://aloutilidades.com.br/quem-somos/ why the banner is not at the center?
- Yes you can activate Child theme as usual.
- I am wondering that, if you want to copy the name of product, why don't you click on that product (to redirect to the product single page) then you can copy?
When a costumer is looking for a especific product he copy his name and paste in diferent stores to compare the prices and choose the best one. My search bar not allowing to copy a product name and copy in the search bar... It just show the results when you type the name of the product letter by letter... I want to allow this... And another thing is, how can i improve the speed of the search bar showing the results faster?
Another thing is... the wordpress is showing the message to update the data base... can i do this?
We are almost launching the site! We are just working on the last details... After almost a year working inside of it, we are very happy with the results! Hope that for the eyes of who works with web development it can be correponding with the expectations.
- The message on the search bar is gone, i think that it happened when i did the theme update. The message is "O que você está procurando?"
- How can i add those small icons at the images of the products like "new, hot, 40% off"?
News about the search bar?

Some lucky expectant women get that beautiful pregnant glow we've heard so much about. While there are those, on the other hand, who experience skin issues in place of said glow. And even if you aren't pregnant, you might have to deal with an issue like sensitive skin. I know this girl still does! I had to take extra special care of my sensitive skin when I was preggers and I still do two years after I had my last baby.
Luckily, there are some great products out there specifically made for sensitive skin. Mama Mio, for instance, recently released their Gorgeous Glow line that is formulated to deep cleanse and balance skin, as well as fight blemishes. I just love this line because it's tough to find blemish fighting products that pregnant ladies can use. And this non-preggers girl has completely fallen in love with their facial wipes. I take facial wipes with me whenever I travel. They're also perfect for those nights when you've had a long day with the kiddos and just feel too tired to wash your face.
If you have sensitive skin, the area around your eyes might be especially sensitive. Do me a favor and stop removing your eye makeup with regular old soap or lotion. Use a makeup remover like Klorane that's specially made for sensitive skin! Not only does it safely remove your makeup, but it can reduce puffiness as well. I don't know about you, but I prefer not to have red, puffy eyes. Haha!
Well, that's our latest beauty scoop. I can't wait for you to see what goodies our Beauty Buzz partners, Janise of Mama in Heels, Jo-Lynne of Musings of Housewife and Alison of Sassy Moms in the City, are posting about this week and I know you have some great posts to share! You can find the linky over at Mama in Heels.

Gay Marriage in Canada
No Comments on Gay Marriage in Canada
On February 1, 2005 the Federal Government of Canada introduced legislation into the house of commons that would make gay marriage legal across the country. Courts in most provinces have already ruled that stopping gay marriages is unconstitutional so it should not be surprising that the federal government has taken this measure. Not only is it the right thing to do, any attempt to make gay marriage illegal would almost certainly be struck down by the supreme court based on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms anyway. Nothing but the lining of lawyers pockets and the wasting of tax payers money would be served by such an attempt.
None of this has stopped the usual bantering and idiotic arguments put forward by the "anti-gay marriage" people.
First of all, I think I am pretty unbiased on this issue. I'm not gay; I don't know any gay people. No matter how this ends it will not change my day-to-day life one bit. What bothers me about this issue is the abuse of the principles involved and the complete lack of logic.
Most of the quotes below come from a CBC story called Cotler unveils 'landmark' same-sex law.
"If you're going to throw open the definition of marriage so you destroy it in essence, how do you know you can ever draw the line any place? If I want two or three wives and want that considered legal marriage, who are you to tell me I can't do that?" – Ontario MP Pat O'Brien, May 10, 2003.
This is nothing but fear mongering. Society can, and does, set limits all the time. Did lowering the drinking age from twenty-one to nineteen "throw open" the possibility of further lowering the drinking age to sixteen? Of course not.
"The Conservative party will fight to give a greater voice to Parliament. We will ensure that issues like marriage are decided by Parliament, not the courts." – Party website.
Great plan. Lets have societies dominant elements decide for everyone else what is OK and what is not. That is a sure way to make sure everyone is treated fairly. Wake up! The Charter was created for exactly this reason. The elected representatives who, in a large part, represent the dominant groups of society cannot be trusted to enact legislation that protects minorities.
. . . no religious officials will be forced to perform marriages that are contrary to their beliefs.
– Justice Minister Irwin Cotler
Vic Toews, the Conservative party's justice critic, disputed the Liberals' insistence that the law protects religious officials from having to perform gay-marriage ceremonies.
He also said there's no protection for individual Canadians who don't hold a church office but want the right to refuse to have anything to do with gay marriage.
Toews cited several examples of people and groups whom the bill wouldn't protect:
Civil marriage commissioners in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, who have been told they must perform same-sex ceremonies or lose their jobs.
How is this any different than if a civil marriage commissioner refused to marry an inter-racial couple because of his or her beliefs? The answer? It's not. The idea that an agent of the state should have discretionary privileges is absurd. Why even have laws if the people implementing them have the option to ignore the laws they do not agree with?
That's why his party [Conservatives] will try to amend the bill, limiting marriage to one man and one woman while offering homosexual couples full rights under some other type of civil union.
Notice the word "full". At least in this case they have not used the word equal. I always find people who say things like "We believe in equal rights . . . gays can have civil unions with the same privileges as marriage just not marriage proper" hilarious. You either believe in equal rights or you do not. Adding a qualification to any statement about equal rights means that you do not believe in equal rights, period.
"What we are seeing is a consistent pattern," he said. "Whenever equality rights and religious rights collide, equality rights trump." — Vic Toews
Again, I am dumbfounded by this person. Of course equality rights trump religion. Think about how absurd it would be if it were the other way around. Which religions views would would society take as 'right'? What about religions whose views directly contradict each other?
The people fighting against gay marriage need to seriously think through their views. They should think about how the world remembers the active and vocal racists of not so long ago. For this is exactly how the world will remember the anti-gay marriage people in twenty years.

Aerolus Breakthrough Tech Explores The Truth About Bigfoot
Posted byevhnews January 25, 2020 January 27, 2020 Posted inDrones
Image Credit: Aerolus
State-of-the-art technology and mythical creatures are terms not typically seen in the same sentence. Still, Digital Aerolus industrial drones are used in a new TV series that features technology innovation to explore the legend of Bigfoot.
Mythological lore meets the latest technology in the Travel Channel series "Expedition Bigfoot." The series follows an elite team of skilled researchers using an advanced data algorithm and groundbreaking technology to analyze fifty years of Bigfoot sightings and to pinpoint when and where the team might encounter the ancient beast.
Series follows a group of expert explorers in a remote area in Oregon
Experts use the latest advanced technologies to narrow their search
Team records some of the most credible video evidence in Bigfoot history
How Drones Helped Search for Bigfoot
Digital Aerolus drones caught the attention of Railsplitter Pictures, a New York-based production company, for their unique ability to fly underground without the use of GPS.
Executive Producer Pete Ritchie says it was the radical tech innovation that drew him to the company:
"To tell our story, our team had to face dangerous, treacherous locations regularly. Important pieces of that story would not have been told if not for the technology of Digital Aerolus drones. They allowed us to investigate places the team could not have safely explored on their own. As a TV producer, I've been working with drones since they first became commercially available. I've never seen one do what these drones can do."
Scientists on TV
Digital Aerolus CEO Jeff Alholm thought he was "punk'd" when he got the call from Railsplitter, the production company that creates the series.
"We're a team of engineers and scientists – we've even got a couple of Nobel Laureates in our group. I thought the guys were messing with me when I got the call. It's a fascinating show and a great use case for our technology. We're pleased to have been a part of it."
Watch Expedition Bigfoot
Travel Channel's new eight-part investigative-adventure series Expedition Bigfoot, premiered Sunday, December 8 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, and tracks the expert search team as they use high-tech tools to explore the truth behind the Bigfoot legend.
About Digital Aerolus
Digital Aerolus develops autonomous technology for any vehicle that flies, drives, dives or swims. The company's revolutionary software combines Artificial Intelligence with multi-dimensional mathematics to help these systems make better decisions about their world.
Digital Aerolus' first commercial product is a line of industrial drones for indoor, inaccessible, and confined spaces.

Price of RON97 petrol in Malaysia has increased
New Straits Times
KUALA LUMPUR - Effective today, the price of RON97 petrol has increased by 15 sen to RM2.85 (S$1.11) per litre.
Malaysian Petrol Dealers Association president Datuk Hashim Othman said the retail price of RON97 is fixed based on a managed float with the monthly price determined by market forces.
He said the price hike could have been influenced by world events, such as the looming threat of war by the United States against Syria.
"The decision made by the US to interfere in the ongoing conflict in Syria could have contributed to the hike. This is because all international financial transactions are made in US dollars."
Hashim, however, believed the price increase would not affect the low and middle-income earners because the fuel is used by luxury car owners.
The last time RON97 petrol saw a major price increase was in September last year when it retailed at RM3 per litre.
However, the price was subsequently reduced to RM2.90 in March and cut again by 20 sen after the 13th General Election to RM2.70.
The RON97 price hike comes two days after the government had on Tuesday announced that the prices of RON95 petrol and diesel have been increased by 20 sen.
The measure was part of the government's subsidy rationalisation initiative to ensure a more efficient and just distribution of benefits derived from its subsidy efforts.
Prior to Tuesday's price increase, the government was subsidising 83 sen for every litre of RON95 petrol and RM1 per litre of diesel, bringing the total fuel subsidy allocation for this year to RM24.8 billion.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had said the 20 sen reduction in fuel subsidy would bring about savings which would translate to a higher BR1M allocation in the 2014 Budget.
Meanwhile, in Alor Star, the Northern Region Commercial Transport Operators' Association has increased its lorry charges rate by five per cent beginning yesterday in response to the recent fuel price hike.
Its president Datuk Yusoff Ismail, however, stressed that the new rate would not have significant adverse impact on consumer goods as the increment was still much lower compared with their travel cost.
Yusoff said the association's 1,000 members had agreed to cap the fare increase by five per cent to reflect the additional cost they have to shoulder following the recent 20 sen hike per litre for petrol and diesel.

On September, 2008, in Learning, MOOC, Technology.
In linguistincs and psychology we talk about the cognitive load of any task. A task that requires calculation or analysis has a larger cognitive load. A task in a foreign language, or using an unfamiliar tool, like a computer, also increases cognitive load.
"Cognizing" (e.g., thinking, understanding, and knowing) is a mental state.
And how to offload some of the cognitive load onto technology. In our discussions over at cck08, the Connectivist class by Siemens and Downes, echoed across the web (search your RSS for cck08), where we are talking about the nature of knowledge, and the connectivist idea that it's most basic element is connections. Connections between neurons, between people, and between organizations and concepts. Check it out.

Michael Cohen formerly enjoyed a close relationship with Donald Trump, working as his lawyer and "fixer." But the mutual respect once shared between the two has long since faded, with Cohen presented documents to Congress during his Wednesday testimony that prove Trump's "illicit" acts.
After becoming president, Trump allegedly wrote eleven checks for Cohen as reimbursement for his hush-money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. One of those checks will be included in Cohen's presentation. A copy of the $130,000 wire transfer made to Daniels during the 2016 election will also be included, where she said she would keep her affair with Trump a secret.
Cohen stresses he has no direct proof the Trump campaign colluded with Russia during the 2016 presidential election. However, he does recall an anecdote impling his former boss knew the true purpose of the now infamous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting. Trump's former lawyer is also aware of a recent BuzzFeed report that claimed Trump instructed him to lie about his business dealings in Moscow. Cohen will note that although Trump didn't "directly" tell him to lie, he did tell Cohen he had no dealings in Russia and repeated that claim to the American public.
White House Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders challenged Cohen's creditability on Tuesday, noting he has already pled guilty to lying. "It's laughable that anyone would take a convicted liar like Cohen at his word, and pathetic to see him given yet another opportunity to spread his lies," Sanders said.

La adhesión de Bosnia y Herzegovina a la Unión Europea es el objetivo declarado de las relaciones actuales entre las dos entidades. El gobierno bosnioherzegovino ha venido realizando acciones en dicho sentido, incluida la cooperación con el Tribunal de crímenes de guerra de La Haya.

Las negociaciones sobre un Acuerdo de estabilización y asociación - el primer paso antes de la adhesión - comenzó en 2005 y originalmente se esperaba su cierre a finales de 2007. Las negociaciones se encontraban en punto muerto debido a un desacuerdo sobre la reforma policial, que la UE insistía en la centralización hacia afuera de las Entidades de Bosnia y Herzegovina. El Acuerdo fue iniciado 4 de diciembre de 2007, y, tras la aprobación de las reformas de la policía en abril de 2008, el Acuerdo fue firmado el 16 de junio de 2008.

Historia

En la primavera de 2008, el entonces Alto representante de la Unión para Asuntos Exteriores y Política de Seguridad, Javier Solana, señaló que Bosnia y Herzegovina podría llegar a ser candidato a la UE.

En abril de 2015 el Consejo de Asuntos Exteriores de la Unión Europea dio luz verde a la firma del Acuerdo de estabilización y asociación, considerado un paso más en el acercamiento del país balcánico al club comunitario. Y el 15 de febrero de 2016 el presidente bosnio, Dragan Čović, presentó formalmente su solicitud para formar parte de la Unión Europea. El 20 de septiembre del mismo año los estados de la UE aceptaron formalmente la solicitud, debiendo a continuación evaluar la Comisión Europea el cumplimiento de los criterios de admisión por parte del país.

Acuerdo de Asociación con la Unión Europea

Las reformas prometidas por el Acuerdo de Asociación con la Unión Europea deben "construir la capacidad del Estado para cumplir los requisitos del proceso de integración de la UE".

It's good to have wine friends.
My friend Bonnie's husband Ted is a bit of a wine guy. When not busy being a neurologist, he does podcasts and was a founding partner of a wine importing and distribution business. I love going over to their house for drinks because there is always good wine and even better, Ted likes to pull out new things for me to try. Like the bottle of Georgian wine he sent over for my birthday a few years ago.
I should say here that I like hanging out with them for many other reasons, but the fact that I increase my wine knowledge every time I drink with them doesn't hurt. Last night was no exception.
We started with this absolutely lovely Guillot-Broux from Mâcon-Villages, a white Burgundy.
Mâcon-Villages is an appellation in the Southern Burgundy region of France, part of the Mâconnais district. Just as all the red wines from this region are Pinot Noir, all white wines produced in this region are Chardonnay. Not Chardonnay as in those overly oaked buttery versions from California, the Chardonnay from this region is far different thanks to the Terroir as well as different approaches to wine making. Many of these wines never see oak. As a result, the wine is generally medium bodied, crisp and fresh.
Mâcon-Villages are considered to be a slightly better wine that the ones just labeled Mâcon. Some of the better Mâcon-Villages will have the village name on the label as well, such as Mâcon-Lugny. Here's the best part of Mâconnais wines – they are considered some of the best white wine buys around, generally retailing for under $20/bottle, which is my favorite price point. So here's your takeaway from today's lesson – white Burgundies are Chardonnay. They are quite nice and in our price range. They pair well with fish, white meat, lemon sauces and other tangy fare.
This particular wine was slightly fruity, reminiscent to me of apples, just a touch of minerals and incredibly smooth. It was a lovely bottle to sip on as we sat inside Bonnie's house pretending it was spring while watching snow fall yet again.
When Amy arrived, Bonnie ran down to their wine cellar and grabbed another bottle, this time a French Riesling from the Alsace region, Domaine Dirler-Cadé Riesling Belzbrunnen. This region is located in northeastern France adjacent to Germany and Switzerland. Along with the nearby Lorraine region, Alsace has changed hands between France & Germany a few times over the years. Consequently, there is a strong German influence, both in the wine bottles used (taller, long necked bottles also known as flûtes) as well as the grapes grown. Riesling is a German grape, one that is described as "terroir-expressive", meaning the resulting wine is greatly influenced by the soil in which it is grown.
Riesling are commonly thought of as sweet wines. Which they can be. But not all Riesling is sweet and Alsace Rieslings are most certainly not sweet. In fact, they are considered to be among some of the better white wines around. Unlike most whites, Alsace Rieslings get better with age, developing a complexity and acidity as they go along. They generally have a fruity aroma with a firm, dry taste. Interestingly enough, some Rieslings may develop what has been described as a "petrol" note. It can be off-putting, but it actually means it is a quality wine. Dry Alsatian Rieslings have a crisp acidity that gives them great pairing versatility. As a result, you can pair these wines with rich dishes such as pâté, fish, chicken, sausage, creamy, stinky cheeses and heavy rich sauces such as Hollandaise.
Amy noted this wine had caramel and apricots on the nose with an absolutely perfect finish. I really couldn't describe it better myself and so I shall not try.
It's ALWAYS good to have wine friends!


While Algernon rushes out to make christening arrangements, Cecily writes Ernest's proposal in her diary. She is interrupted by Merriman announcing The Honorable Gwendolen Fairfax to see Jack; unfortunately, Jack is at the rectory. Cecily asks her in, and they introduce themselves. Gwendolen did not know Jack had a ward, and she wishes Cecily were older and less beautiful.
Both announce that they are engaged to Ernest Worthing. When they compare diaries, they decide that Gwendolen was asked first; however, Cecily says that since then, he has obviously changed his mind and proposed to Cecily. Merriman and a footman enter with tea, which stops their argument. They discuss geography and flowers in a civilized manner while the servants are present. However, during the tea ceremony, Cecily deliberately gives Gwendolen sugar in her tea when Gwendolen did not want sugar and tea cake when Gwendolen expressly asked for bread and butter. The situation is very tense and strained.
Jack arrives, and Gwendolen calls him Ernest; he kisses Gwendolen who demands an explanation of the situation. Cecily explains that this is not Ernest but her guardian, Jack Worthing. Algernon comes in, and Cecily calls him Ernest. Gwendolen explains that he is her cousin, Algernon Moncrieff. The ladies then console each other because the men have played a monstrous trick on them. Jack sheepishly admits that he has no brother Ernest and has never had a brother of any kind. Both ladies announce that they are not engaged to anyone and leave to go into the house.

84 (2017-2018): Review: MEASURE FOR MEASURE (seen October 11, 2017)
"When Shakespeare Met Weinstein"
If theatre is most relevant when it dramatizes issues currently on the public's mind, there could be no better time than now for a revival of Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, when the media is screaming about the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment scandal.
The experimental theatre troupe Elevator Repair Service, renowned for its illumination of American literary classics (Gatz, The Sound and the Fury), couldn't have had this particular cause célèbre on its mind when it chose the play—similar, if less publicized, scandals rock the headlines every week—but it definitely gives this otherwise bizarre interpretation, directed by John Collins, a cachet of significance.

Measure for Measure, of course, is a "problem play" whose mixed comic and tragic tone and confounding thoughts on justice and mercy have bedeviled bardolators, actors, and directors for centuries. But they keep trying. A relatively traditional, albeit modern dress, revival was staged in June by Theatre for a New Audience, to modest effect, while a musical adaptation, Desperate Measures, at the York Theatre, is essentially a new work using only the original's central premise for its richly appealing retelling.

The play's connection to Weinstein et al. is its premise about an overbearingly moralistic politician named Angelo (Pete Simpson, in an over-the-top, physicalized performance) using his Weinsteinian power to grant favors to a beautiful woman in exchange for sex. Angelo, you'll recall, has been deputized to become leader of decadent Vienna by the Duke (Scott Shepherd) while the latter, disguised as a friar, secretly goes about among the citizens to spy on their (and Angelo's) behavior. Angelo's first important act is to sentence a young man, Claudio (Greig Sargeant), to death for the crime of having impregnated his fiancée Juliet (Lindsay Hockaday, who also plays Pompey, the pimp), in violation of a long-ignored law regarding premarital sex.

When Claudio's sister, Isabella (Rinne Groff), a beautiful young novitiate, is prevailed upon to petition Angelo for clemency, Angelo falls for her and agrees only if she'll sleep with him. She's unwilling to sacrifice her chastity for her brother's life, however, so the plot moves on to multiple complications, including "the bed trick," involving having Angelo's discarded love, Mariana (April Matthis), substitute for Isabella in the dark; there's even a substitute head trick, in which another prisoner's head doubles for Claudio's to make people think the latter is dead. (Kabuki fans will appreciate this.) Finally, the wily Duke, observing everything from the sidelines, steps in, restores order, and—in yet another expression of sexual power grabbing—takes Isabella for himself.

ERS's version of the play, its first attempt at Shakespeare, while faithful to the script (which it presents in an intermissionless two hours and ten minutes), is a mélange of avant-garde tropes that eventually become more important than the play itself. This isn't to deny that occasional flashes of insight occur, or that the actors aren't all vocally and physical skilled enough to do justice to the words. The tradeoff, though, is a show so bogged down in gimmickry that you lose interest in the narrative and instead focus on directorial "ingenuity."

Questions you may find yourself asking are: why does the set (designed by Jim Findlay), with its long tables, chairs, and old-fashioned phones, resemble a conference room, regardless of the locale; why are moving (and largely unreadable) sections of the text projected on the walls and ceiling (projection design by Eva Schweinitz) when someone slams a button on a table, only to vanish when the button is pressed again (which also happens with Gavin Price's noteworthy sound design); why, in this kookily dressed production (designed by Kaye Voyce) mingling costumes from several last-century periods, is Isabella, a soon-to-be-nun, dressed like a Mafia widow in a short black dress, heels, and a smart black hat?
Maggie Hoffman, Scott Shepherd. Photo: Richard Termine.
Other questions concern the dialogue: why do the actors sometimes speak so rapidly they seem be in a Peter Piper-picked-a-pickled-pepper contest; why, on the other hand, is the long prison scene between Isabella and Claudio performed so sl-o-o-o-w-ly you may think you see the actors growing old before your eyes; why do Angelo, the Duke, and Escalus speak in dry, nasal, posh British accents; why are there teleprompters at stage right and at the rear of the house, with the text scrolling by for actors who clearly know their lines, and so on?
The answers (acceptable or not) to some of these queries can found in Collins's program note, where he also mentions the show's use of "proprietary teleprompter software" to set "the actors' pace" as a way of performing the show. How, one wonders, could Shakespeare have survived so long without such breakthroughs?
Vin Knight, Pete Simpson, Greig Sargeant, Mike Iveson, Maggie Hoffman, Gavin Price. Photo: Richard Termine.
Oddly, some of this oddball manipulation works, especially when Scott Shepherd's Duke/Friar Lodowick is around, creating the image of a motor-mouthed, ruler on speed who seems to do what he does merely because he can; his manipulation of the play's concluding scenes is especially creepy in the offhand way with which he dispenses orders and controls his minions. For the most part, though, this Measure for Measure is a solipsistic exercise that serves more to obscure than clarify what's already difficult enough to comprehend.

Collins also observes that what makes Shakespeare's language in Measure for Measure "genuinely timeless is a kind of music in those sentences and a deeply felt poetry that pulses with emotional truth." Agreed; however, his production does everything to muffle that verbal music and suppress that emotional pulse. It's one measure of his achievement that, the night I went, around a dozen people departed midway through. Measure for measure, I assume.

Despite the potential for increased efficiencies and cost-savings, less than half of all organizations use managed transportation solutions to handle their supply chain activities. In this whitepaper, we debunk some of the common Transportation Management System (TMS) myths with a people-centric approach.
A TMS (transportation management system) is a software platform designed to give shippers tools for control and visibility over their supply chains. With functionality and resources for all supply chain stakeholders, a TMS provides a single platform to manage all logistics events in the life cycle of an order, both inbound and outbound. This whitepaper is your ultimate guide to TMS, and how it can help you grow revenue, manage costs, mitigate risk, and gain efficiencies.
It's time to implement transportation process improvement strategies that lead to long-term cost savings. In order to supplement the effort towards these process improvements, a growing trend is to invest in transportation management software (TMS). In order to justify the investment in a TMS, transportation managers must present a detailed analysis of the return on investment (ROI) that a TMS can provide. Learn how to craft an ROI analysis in order to sell a TMS (transportation management software) to your upper-level management and C-suite executives.

Personal trainers are always in high risk of becoming injured with wounds, sprains or illnesses. Thus, it is important for this category of people to go in for insurance for personal trainers which has been exclusively prepared for this class of people as it will not only support them but will also save them from the money they need to invest on expensive medical treatment. People who are in the field of any kind of sports, they can be either trainers, instructors or players, can go in for this insurance and many of the renowned sports teams have been known for offering sports insurances to their team as it will reduce the risk to the players. Also, trainers who work at a gym, swimming pools, martial workout studios, tennis courts and even at dance studios would also require this insurance. Also, if you are an individual trainer or instructor, you should consider the insurance as a part of your compulsory expenses which is required to run your business. Every instructor will have had exclusive training yet even the trained make mistakes which can result in big accidents or injuries.
The aspects that are covered under the personal trainer insurance usually include the expenses that are required to cover medical bills, legal costs and liabilities which are related to the injury on either side; however, one must understand that it is not a holistic insurance and it does not cover everything. In fact, this insurance will not cover for certain aspects, like for instance, if you want to hire a sports insurance company for a public event then it would be better that you extended the policy so that it includes public liabilities as well because only in such a circumstance, your damages will be properly worked out, in case anything unfortunate happens at such a huge event. In almost all types of huge events, something or the other is bound to happen and thus, covering it under insurance will certainly help the organizing company in case of big problems.
Most of the insurances for personal trainers do come quite low and for personal trainer it can be as low as $250 making it quite affordable. However, if a large sports community is looking for getting insured, then it will be more costly as it is understandable that the coverage involved for such insurance will be way more than what is included for a personal trainer.


The Mr. Soft Serve Driver, really named Jack, is the main antagonist in the episode "Mama Cast" of the American sitcom The King of Queens. He is played by Brandon Johnson.
Doug stops at a children's baseball game, where he notices an ice cream truck. He goes to buy a push-pop from the ice cream man when he notices a for sale sign on the truck, and inquires with the ice cream man, who introduces himself as Jack. Figuring that this investment would be profitable, Doug proceeds to buy the truck with his tax refund. Later, Doug is selling ice cream to children when he notices another ice cream truck named "Mr. Soft Serve" drive by, and a child informs him that the aforementioned truck worked at his spot previously. On his way home, Doug notices the Mr. Soft Serve truck following him. He challenges it to a drag race, but he is run off the road by the other driver.
The next day, Doug is working when he takes a break to use a port-a-potty. While inside, he hears the music of the Mr. Soft Serve truck, and looks outside to see it approaching at high speed. He narrowly jumps out of the port-a-potty before the truck plows into it, destroying it.
At night, Doug sneaks into the garage where the Mr. Soft Serve truck is parked. He sticks a banana inside of the truck's exhaust pipe, but the driver returns, so he hides under the truck, where he gets a look at his snakeskin boots. The driver starts the truck, which stalls because of the banana in the exhaust pipe, but the banana eventually pops out and the truck drives away.
The next day, Doug sells the truck to Jack for $1,200 at a $1,800 loss. Another man comes up and inquires with Jack about buying the truck. As they walk away, the camera pans down to show that Jack is wearing snakeskin boots, revealing that he is the driver for the Mr. Soft Serve truck. It is implied that he would harass the new buyer the same way he did Doug.
Jack, the Mr. Soft Serve Driver, shares his name with another villain on The King of Queens.

USDA Grants Gov. Whitmer's Request for Disaster Designation
Contact: Press@Michigan.gov
LANSING, Mich. - Today Governor Gretchen Whitmer applauded the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for granting a primary disaster designation to Sanilac County, which experienced severe drought conditions during the growing season. This designation makes farm operators in Sanilac County - as well as the contiguous counties of Huron, Lapeer, St. Clair and Tuscola, eligible for assistance from the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA). This action follows the Governor's request to USDA for a disaster designation for all Michigan counties impacted by adverse weather this year as well a request that USDA make available any other possible assistance under the Federal Crop Insurance Program or other USDA programs to help Michigan's hardworking farmers recover.
"From freezing temperatures and drought to flooding and high winds, many of our producers are finding themselves in the midst of yet another difficult growing season. I am pleased the USDA responded to our request and I'm looking forward to the further assessment of those counties not included in this designation. This relief can't come soon enough for our farmers who?endured tremendous hardship as a result of the adverse weather we've seen this year," said Governor Whitmer. "I am grateful to USDA and our Michigan delegation, especially Sen. Debbie Stabenow, for their ongoing leadership and partnership to ensure our farmers receive the assistance and supports they need."
In July, the governor sent a letter to Secretary Tom Vilsack requesting a disaster designation for counties impacted by severe weather to help provide relief for Michigan's farmers.
"Our farmers and producers continue to face unpredictable and extreme weather conditions," said Gary McDowell, director, Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. "This disaster designation and emergency loan opportunity provides a helping hand to our farmers ensuring they have ready access to the resources they need to keep feeding Michiganders and the world."
This spring, Michigan experienced a significant period of freezing temperatures after many warm days, which negatively impacted several crops at a key time in their development. In addition, parts of Michigan's croplands have experienced both drought and flooding, in some cases within days of each other. The storms from June also brought high winds and large amounts of rain in multiple areas of the state, causing damage to barns and agriculture infrastructure, as well as to standing crops.
"Areas of the Thumb experienced difficult weather conditions this spring, including ongoing drought and late frost that had a detrimental impact on the ability of farmers to produce a crop," said Jim Zook, executive director of the Michigan Corn Growers Association. "We appreciate the Governor's actions to secure a disaster declaration, which will give farmers access to much-needed USDA resources and assistance."
"The value of soybeans grown in Michigan is $614 million dollars annually. Sanilac County is the second largest soybean-growing county in the state per the National Agricultural Statistic Service, producing over 6.4 million bushels of soybeans in 2020 alone. This designation as a disaster area not only brings awareness to the impacts drought can have on agriculture, but also offers financial support for farmers struggling due to these weather implications," said Janna Fritz, CEO of the Michigan Soybean Committee. "Soybeans from Michigan are used in a multitude of ways, including many value-added soy-based products such as tires, lubricants and biodiesel fuel. Our soybean growers appreciate the efforts of our ag leaders including Senator Stabenow, Governor Whitmer and Congresswoman McClain to secure this declaration, which will help our industry recover from this disaster and allow Michigan farmers to continue growing a crop that supports the Michigan economy."
This Secretarial Disaster Designation makes farm operators eligible to be considered for certain types of assistance from the Farm Service Agency (FSA), including emergency loans. Producers should contact their local FSA office for additional information.?

Has anybody attempted this hike? I'm just wondering about the road access if this access able in 4×4.
HI Timotcho, yes I have done this a few times now. We have taken a 4WD as the track can be rough and is steep. If you have a high clearance vehicle there should be no issue but it would be slow going with a standard car.


I was first introduced to cold soba by my former flatmate and friend Pauline. Her brother Benjamin studied Japanese and got a job with Japan Airlines back in 2000, thanks to which they travelled to Japan that summer. On her return, she had many stories to tell about the kawaii culture, architecture and food! Amongst other things, she brought cold soba back and prepared it for us.
I have since, had the chance to eat soba many times and I love it. Being married to a Japanese , you can imagine that we do eat japanese food rather often, and this is a favourite for sunday brunch.
It is very easy to prepare as all you need is soba, soup stock, wasabi and (ideally) spring onions.
First you need to boil the soba noodles in water. When cooked, pass them through cold water to cool down and stop the cooking . Cooling keeps them loose.
For the cold soup, mix two parts of soup stock with one of water, slice a spring onion per pot , add the spring onion to the soup stock and finally add as much wasabi as your taste determines.
To eat, you deep the noodles on the soup and enjoy!
In Japan, many have tempura with the soba and if you are very lucky, in places like Shujenji where you can find traditional soba noodles (only), they add a white root vegetable to the soup too.
Note: it is typical to keep the water in which you boil the soba noodles and serve it to you as a top up for the soup. It always comes on a red teapot so bear it in mind if you are presented with one.
And in terms of soba noodles , there are many brands. Some more expensive than others and some with stronger taste (darker) than others. I am showing this one only as an example but I have found out that everyone has a different taste so it's worth trying a few to find your match.

When the Flies Show Up, Your Bottom Line Can Take a Serious Hit!
…and so can herd health, animal comfort, productivity and your comfort, too!
Summer is officially here which means it's time to tackle the serious business of fly control. Flies can be a real challenge for livestock farmers and can cost the dairy and hog industries hundreds of millions of dollars in lost production each year.
Not only are they annoying to both the workers and the animals, flies really do have a significant effect on production efficiencies. Instead of resting and making milk, cows can easily expend their extra energy trying to fend off these pesky nuisances! Flies in the barn can decrease milk production, and increase medication costs, veterinary visits, and the threat of disease spreading… not to mention reduced farm worker productivity and the increased chance of having cranky neighbors.
A fly problem in your barns can wreak havoc on your herd. You'll find the cows trying to get rid of the flies by shaking, rubbing and switching their tails which can raise both their heart and respiratory rates, and can also increase their body temperature causing heat stress. You might also find them grouping together, which can worsen their heat stress.
Fly bites can result in major economic losses to pig farmers. Irritation from biting flies can cause skin lesions or allergic reactions causing some pigs to be skinned at the abattoir. A skin from a finisher pig can weigh 17kg and the financial penalty can be as much as $34 per pig, as well as additional downgrades depending on the abattoir.
Back in the dairy barn, the nutrients that would normally go into milk production are diverted to replace blood loss from biting. There is also a risk of transmitting diseases such as mastitis, bacterial scours, and pink eye throughout the herd.
When you add all of this up you get a grand estimated total of $360 million in lost production across the industry.
All flies pass through four life stages: egg, larva (maggot), pupa, and adult. During its life cycle, which is about 30 days, a house fly female can lay up to 1000 eggs. These eggs are deposited on moist manure or any decaying organic matter. The eggs hatch in 10 to12 hours and the maggots move into the wet manure. Fly maggots mature in 4 to 5 days under warm moist conditions. Pupation occurs in the drier parts of manure, with the adult flies emerging in 3 to 5 days. Under ideal conditions, a fly can complete its life cycle in 9 to 14 days.
So what's the best way to deal with this pesky problem?
Flies love dirty, moist conditions and their favorite breeding ground is decaying organic matter and manure. It shouldn't be a surprise to learn that when it comes to fly control, the best remedy is prevention, and the answer lies in a clean barn!
Flies deposit eggs in the top few inches of moist manure which means that minimizing the amount of moist manure surface area available to the fly is an excellent fly reduction strategy. The LWR System creates a dry solid from manure liquids to greatly reduce fly attraction areas.
It also helps keep your dairy clean and dry and gives producers the ability to sell segregated manure fertilizer promptly rather than stockpiling it.
Instead of dealing with the problem after it's already a problem, you can solve it before it becomes a problem by treating your manure year round. With empty lagoons and clean lanes you also will lower their re-productivity and stop the flies before they start.
A barn with the LWR System is a barn without a manure problem, and a barn without manure problem is a barn without a fly problem!

Q: Detect which result were chosen from MYSQL selection? On my project i have a mysql query which select some results from my mysql table.So the problem is,for each result i display a button,when the user clicks on those button i need to store the result id in cookies,but every time i tried to make it work always the value stored on cookies is always from the first record!How can i make the value stored become the one from the chosen result?

A: Cookie can only store string. It can not store array. Use javascript join to convert it to ',' separated value before storing it using functions like -
function setCookie(c_name,value,exdays)
{
var exdate=new Date();
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays);
var c_value=escape(value) + ((exdays==null) ? "" : "; expires="+exdate.toUTCString());
document.cookie=c_name + "=" + c_value;
}

function getCookie(c_name)
{
var i,x,y,ARRcookies=document.cookie.split(";");
for (i=0;i<ARRcookies.length;i++)
{
  x=ARRcookies[i].substr(0,ARRcookies[i].indexOf("="));
  y=ARRcookies[i].substr(ARRcookies[i].indexOf("=")+1);
  x=x.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");
  if (x==c_name)
    {
    return unescape(y);
    }
  }
}

A smile slowly formed upon Lugo's lips. Everything was slowly coming together. He noticed early on that out of everyone in the group of beetles that had arrived at the village, only one of them wasn't fighting directly on the front lines. Instead, that one sat back and gave orders to all of the monsters around him. That, plus the fact it had a unique appearance when compared to the other beetles, gave it away that it was the leader of the group.
But Lugo still couldn't tell if this was the tribe leader or not.
If it was not the tribe leader, then they would have to prepare for the possibility that the real main army was moving towards them at that exact moment. If that was so, then all that they could do was run.
But if it really was the leader of the tribe, then this was a fantastic chance! He didn't hesitate in revealing his position to the leader. As he spent more time fighting, Lugo was able to soon become accustomed to controlling his bloodlust and killing intent. He learned from Baphrael that the killing intent was usually how monsters would perceive the strength of their opponent.
This was because their intent held a bit of their world energy within it. So the purer the intent, the more world energy would be within the creature. And of course the more world energy that was one wielded, the stronger they would be.
But to Lugo's surprise, he found out that he had a shocking amount of bloodlust. He knew for a fact that there was no world energy within his body, yet his killing intent storage was enormous! And he loved it! If used correctly, Lugo was sure he could use this as a powerful form of intimidation.
As such he made sure to train his control over it. And he was now using it to project a terrifying aura over at the beetle leader. No one else except that one monster could sense him. And seeing that the monster was quick to react toward his provocation, he knew that he had succeeded in drawing the monster out.
Picking up his mithril spear, Lugo took in a deep breath as he shot forward in order to intercept his new opponent.
Kabo didn't even bat an eye when Lugo suddenly jumped toward him. He had already predicted that the entity in front of him would take such actions. Turning his head to the side, he snapped around and used the T-shaped horn on his head to block Lugo's spear. Kabo's physical strength was nowhere near that of a vain lion, but where the lion had pure physical attributes, Kabo had experience and intelligence. As the saying went, brains over brawns.
He was not trying to stop Lugo's spear attack, he was trying to deflect it. Where one would've just stopped the strike from moving forward, the other gave Kabo an opening to launch his own assault.
Allowing the spear to push past his side, Kabo charged forward and attempted to ram his horn into Lugo's stomach. Unfortunately it was worthless. His horn clanged against something under the robe Lugo was wearing. Glancing over at what he struck, he saw a large linkage of metal rings circling around Lugo's chest.
"Is that, chain mail? This human-like monster certainly has some interesting toys. But it's worthless!"
As this thought flew through Kabo's mind, his wings began to flap more fervently as he brought Lugo up into the sky.
While he was surprised by this situation, Lugo wasn't too perturbed. Lifting the spear over his head, he swung down at the beetle's wings. The sharp end of the spear punctured through the thin membrane-like wings, but that did not stop their ascension. Lugo was forced to repeatedly strike out at the wings several times, but by that point it was too late. They were over a hundred meters above the ground at this point.
"How clever…"
Lugo ignored the PTSD he had of falling through the sky and grabbed the horn of the kabuto beetle in front of him. Using one hand to hold the horn and another to wield his spear, he slammed the rod down onto the monster's back. He didn't use it to stab the beetle this time, instead choosing to use the metal rod as a bludgeoning weapon. A cracking sound could be heard as fractures appeared on top of the monster's shell. And finally the beetle's ascent was stopped. But as with everything that rises, they must eventually fall.
As soon as Kabo's wings stopped flapping, Lugo could feel a familiar sensation of falling come into immediate effect. But he did not stop his assault on Kabo even then. The two of them continued to exchange blow for blow falling through the skies. Every time Lugo's spear crashed into Kabo's exoskeleton, his horn would similarity slam against Lugo's body.
Slowly Lugo's attacks began to become more dominant and hit Kabo more, but he was well aware that his body had been damaged more than the red beetle's had. While it might seem like he was getting in more hits than Kabo, the damage they both sustained was just about equal. But Lugo was using more energy than the beetle. At the rate they were going, Lugo would tire himself out first. And death would swiftly follow afterwards.
Lugo's grip on his spear began to tighten until the palm of his hand was pale white. As the fight continued on, a strange feeling began to well up within Lugo's chest. It was a familiar feeling. He had only felt this two other times before, and it wasn't as strong then as it was now. As this feeling enveloped him, Lugo began to feel power flow through his eyes and into his arms. As more and more power traveled into his limbs, he could feel his vitality and life being sucked away. But the more that was taken from him, the stronger he felt himself become.
{Eyes of God hidden function- vitality to world energy converter}.
Kabo opened up his pincer-like mouth and bit down onto Lugo's arm. Blood gushed out of the wound in a shocking amount as Kabo added more strength into his mandibles. As the eyes of the beetle leader rose up to look at the face of his opponent, he body froze for a second.
Looking deep into the creatures pure golden eyes, Kabo could see something strange within those emotionless orbs. Despite him being in an obviously superior position due to his superior defense, Kabo felt as if the being before him actually held the advantage in the duel. And this sense only multiplied as he stared deep into Lugo's eyes only to find not fear, anger, not despair, but instead he found excitement.
This was a different kind of excitement than the one Kabo felt when they first faced each other. This was the excitement one would feel when told of a delicacy and imagining its taste. The excitement a hunter would have when finding their prey.
The excitement superior being would feel when crushing something beneath them.
Suddenly, fear gripped at Kabo's heart. As one who had faced numerous life or death battles, he was quite resistant to fear. But this time was different. Nothing could guard him from the overwhelming pressure coming from Lugo's eyes. All of his instincts were telling him that if he didn't do anything quickly, he would die. Without a doubt.
Kabo slackened his mandibles and tried to back away from Lugo. But as soon as Lugo's arm was released, the other one shot out and wrapped itself around the horn of Kabo. He wasn't allowing the beetle to escape just like that!
Kabo watched as the injured arm before him lifted up the spear above his head. The beetle monster looked on in shock as that same arm seemingly grew several times its original size.
This too was not something that was actually happening, it was just Kabo's instinct telling him that the next strike will not be like the others. He might really die from this one!
Grinding his jaws together, Kabo gave off a screech into the air.
"ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!"
He decided that if there was any time to use his trump card, it was now!
Kabo's skill [Resounding Trumpet] was virtually a self-destructing skill. It would take every last bit of world energy he had in his body and condense it into one single devastating attack. This was usually his last resort though, as once it was used he was basically defenseless for the next few days. Not a single bit of strength would be left in his body after this attack, so it really was all or nothing.
It also showed how dangerous he thought Lugo's next attack would be. A skill that he had only ever used twice in his life, this would be the third time it was displayed.
He placed his focus point in his horn and allowed all of the energy to flow there, as Lugo was holding it in place and it was perfectly pointed at his head, Kabo was sure that he would be able to strike his opponent down. The speed of the blast was not something one could just simply dodge, especially when it was at point blank.
The two fighters faced each other.
They both knew that whoever succeeded in their next attack would win this war. As such they decided to finally swap names.
"My name is Lugo, I guess you can call me the new leader of the Bunnitorias."
"I am Kabo, tribe leader of the Kabuto Tribe."
The two monsters stared each other down as they released the full might of their ultimate attack.
