Heart Shaped Empire Cookies sandwiched with a raspberry jam filling and topped with an almond glaze. The perfect Valentine's Day dessert.
Happy February friends! Can you believe January has already come and gone? I have to say February is possibly my favorite month of the year! For one, I love Valentines and it's also my BIRTHDAY! I technically don't have a leap year birthday this year, but we celebrated it on the 28th. Who are we kidding, I celebrate it all month long! Which means these cookies are happening again, SOON!
These empire cookies are a fun twist on the traditional sugar coookies. They are a shortbread cookie and a little less dense. Jam filled shortbread cookies have been a staple at English tea parties for years, but I don't see them very often in the states. I think you all need to try them though because they are amazing! Especially with a homemade raspberry jam filling. They look so fancy and really aren't that hard to make. My kids LOVED them!
I like to refrigerate my dough for at least an hour, so that it is easy to work with when rolling it out.
Make sure to roll them out to about 1/8″ thick since you'll be stacking two together. Since they are a thinner cookies, you also want to watch them closely in the oven so they don't burn. The edges should just have a slight light golden edge.
Once they are cooled you will fill them with raspberry jam. I happened to have some leftover from the batch I made this summer, but any will do.
Next you'll make a quick icing an frost the tops of the heart. Then add a sprinkle heart if you'd like. Then all you need to do is let them set.
A great recipe for Valentine's Day cookies. These are seriously so good!
Combine the butter and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add the egg and egg yolk and beat on medium speed until combined. Add the vanilla and beat again.
With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour and salt. Press the dough between two sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Roll out the dough 1/8″ thick onto a baking mat, parchment paper or a well floured surface. Press the cookie cutter into the dough and carefully move to the baking sheet. Repeat until you have 32 cookies.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are slightly light golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the pan for 2 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack.
Once the cookies are cooled spread the raspberry jam onto the back side of the cookies. Press another cookie gently on top. Then whisk together the icing ingredients (powdered sugar, water and almond extract) in a small bowl, until it is smooth and glossy. Use a small spatula to frost the top of the cookies. Add a heart sprinkle to the center if desired.
These cookies will keep in an airtight container for 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Jamielyn, thanks for the Empire Cookie Recipe. When I was a child my Scottish grandmother used to always bring them to me when she visited. I have always loved them. Will definitely try to find time to whip some up for next week!
They DO look fancy! And so cute – perfect for Valentines day. Ohh and can I say that I LOVE that 'spread the love' butter knife? I think I need one in my life!

21 CHL PLAYERS NAMED TO CANADA'S NATIONAL MEN'S UNDER-18 TEAM PRE-COMPETITION ROSTER AS CAMP OPENS IN WINNIPEG
Posted on April 7, 2016 April 7, 2016 by Dominic Tiano
Team Canada faces Czech Republic and Sweden in pair of pre-tournament games
CALGARY, Alta. – Hockey Canada, in partnership with the Canadian Hockey League, have assembled 23 players to take part in Canada's National Men's Under-18 Team pre-competition camp in Winnipeg in preparation for the 2016 IIHF U18 World Championship.
CHL Players Invited to Camp:
Goaltenders:
Michael DiPietro (Windsor Spitfires)
Evan Fitzpatrick (Sherbrooke Phoenix)
Stuart Skinner (Lethbridge Hurricanes)
Defencemen:
Jake Bean (Calgary Hitmen)
Jakob Chychrun (Sarnia Sting)
Nicolas Hague (Mississauga Steelheads)
Markus Phillips (Owen Sound Attack)
David Quenneville (Medicine Hat Tigers)
Logan Stanley (Windsor Spitfires)
Jared Anderson-Dolan (Spokane Chiefs)
Will Bitten (Flint Firebirds)
Maxime Comtois (Victoriaville Tigres)
Jordan Kyrou (Sarnia Sting)
Pascal Laberge (Victoriaville Tigres)
Beck Malenstyn (Calgary Hitmen)
Michael McLeod (Mississauga Steelheads)
Antoine Morand (Acadie-Bathurst Titan)
Michael Rasmussen (Tri-City Americans)
Mason Shaw (Medicine Hat Tigers)
Owen Tippett (Mississauga Steelheads)
Gabe Vilardi (Windsor Spitfires)
Hockey Canada's director of player personnel, Ryan Jankowski, built the roster with support from head coach Shaun Clouston (Viking, Alta./Medicine Hat, WHL) and assistant coaches Serge Lajoie (St. Albert, Alta./University of Alberta, CWUAA), Jarrod Skalde (Niagara Falls, Ont./Guelph, OHL), and national team alumnus Ryan Smyth, who is part of Hockey Canada's Program of Excellence management group. Jankowski evaluated the players during the 2015-16 season, following them alongside numerous other candidates during league play, as well as in international competition.
"Bringing the players together in Winnipeg gives the team a chance to gel before we travel to Grand Forks, and allows some of our up-and-coming players to gain some valuable experience working with our coaching staff and playing two exhibition games against international teams," said Jankowski. "We're looking forward to a great week in Winnipeg, and hope the fans will come out to watch a preview of the world-class hockey we'll all be able to enjoy in Grand Forks, and on TSN."
The roster includes three goaltenders, seven defencemen and 13 forwards, as well as:
eight players (Bean, Bitten, Fabbro, Jost, Kyrou, Malenstyn, McLeod, and Quenneville) who won a gold medal with Canada's National Men's Summer Under-18 Team at the 2015 U18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup in the Czech Republic and Slovakia last summer; and
eight players (Comtois, DiPietro, Anderson-Dolan, Morand, Phillips, Rasmussen, Tippett and Vilardi) who participated in the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in Dawson Creek and Fort St. John, B.C., last November.
The roster includes select under-age players invited to play in pre-tournament games to gain added experience in international competition. Players from across the CHL that have been eliminated from playoff action will be added to complete the roster for the tournament.
Canada will play a pair of pre-tournament games in Winnipeg, facing the Czech Republic on April 10 (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT) before taking on Sweden on April 12 (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT). Tickets are $10 and available for purchase at the MTS Iplex on game day.
Canada opens the 2016 IIHF U18 World Championship, hosted in Grand Forks, N.D., from April 14-24, on April 15 against Denmark; it will also play the Czech Republic, Finland, and Slovakia in preliminary-round action. TSN and RDS, the official broadcast partners of Hockey Canada, will broadcast 12 games, including all Team Canada match-ups.
Canada has won seven medals at the IIHF U18 World Championship, including three gold medals (2003, 2008 and 2013).

Using spot lubricators is a simple and effective way to solve sometimes very difficult problems. The unique efficiency of the L210/220 pumps means that small and very precise amounts of lubricants can be positioned at spots that may be impossible to reach otherwise. As an alternative to flooding a tool with oil, it is extremely economical.
A spot lubricator is a very cost effective and accurate way of solving those problems of getting lubricants to a difficult spot such as a threading tap in a tool or in an automated situation. The units come complete with nozzle and holder with 2 litre containers and 1 or 2 pumps.

Persistence wins – with dragsters and in life
by perducoeducation January 31, 2018
written by perducoeducation January 31, 2018
I was an industrial arts teacher in rural Missouri for many years. By nature, my classroom was hands on. But one of the most memorable and impactful programs we executed in class was to build and race CO2 dragsters. I discovered CO2 dragsters at the Four States Conference for Industrial Arts Teachers held at Pittsburg State University in the fall of 1976. Wow, that was a long time ago!
Implementation and Experience
I implemented our dragster program right after that, and student engagement was very high. My students enjoyed building and racing dragsters, and they acquired or refined their skills using a drill press, a bandsaw, and sandpaper. Some of them had a lot of practice with sandpaper!
There were actually two industrial arts teachers, but I was the only one who had students working with dragsters. The other teacher wasn't interested in allowing students to continue improving their dragsters in his class. He thought building a CO2 dragster didn't require much skill. However, he couldn't deny student interest and enthusiasm. So, he finally relented and provided some additional class time for them to keep making their designs better.
Students learned more than the design process during their preparation for race day. They learned the soft skills necessary for life – learning from failure, teamwork, empathy, and persistence. Occasionally, students worked on a dragster and then had something disastrous happen – for example, one student dropped his while getting off the bus and someone stepped on it. Those students came in early and stayed late to get another dragster built and ready to go by race day.
The first activity in our CO2 dragster program was to talk about the concepts involved in the cars. That usually led to students asking the science teacher lots of questions about acceleration. After the initial discussion about how the cars operated, we then had a deep discussion about the limitations placed on the dragster and the design. Students then went through the process of designing and building their own dragster.
When the cars were finished, they were carefully checked to ensure that all specifications were met. If a dragster was disqualified, students were given an explanation and were given a couple of days to make modifications to meet specs. When they were all complete and ready to race, the art teacher was brought in to select the best-looking dragster. The art teacher set the criteria for best design and construction.
Then it was off to the races, which was a big deal! Arrangements were made ahead of time with a PE teacher for use of the gym. The elementary PE students were allowed to watch the races, and excitement from the audience fed the program. Many of these younger students wanted to know when they could build a dragster.
Each car was raced individually and a time was recorded. The cars were then placed in a double-elimination bracket, and dragsters were raced until a class winner was determined. The last period of the day, arrangements were made with other teachers for the winners to come to the gym to race in the finals.
Some teachers ended up bringing their whole class to watch. The winners from each class were added to a bracket, and then the fastest cars from earlier in the day were added to fill up a 16-car double-elimination bracket. The cars were raced until we had an overall winner.
Each year I'd build my own car and challenge the winner to a race. Sometimes I'd work on a dummy dragster in class, but my official car wasn't revealed to the students until race day. For several years, my dragster beat the winning student's dragster. It was all in good fun.
But one student, Steven, was extra determined. He'd been one of the students who wanted to constantly make his dragster better and begged the other teacher for more time. He built his first dragster when he was in eighth grade and was the overall winner that year. As was customary, I challenged him to a race, he accepted, and we set up the dragsters and raced. My dragster won by several feet. He was amazed, thought that I cheated somehow, but was convinced he could build a dragster to defeat me.
Steven came back his ninth-grade year, designed and built his dragster, and challenged me to a race, and my dragster won again. He came back his 10th-grade year and tried again. Same result. Steven's dragster got closer each year. His 11th-grade year he was determined. He designed and built his fourth dragster and finally his dragster won. He learned many things over the years. One of those things was to stick with it and keep trying.
I still see this young man occasionally around our small town. The challenge to beat my dragster has stayed with him. Several years after his high school graduation, Steven suffered a head injury after being thrown from a horse. His stick-to-it attitude and try-again approach carried over into his recovery from the injury. When we run into each other, he always says with pride, "I finally beat you!"
Persistence cannot be overvalued. And that has stuck with me. What we do in the classroom makes a real impact on the lives of our students and will lead them in the future. It's so much more than dragsters.

29 trade deadline for the right price, according to sources.
Michaels started his pro coaching career as a defensive line coach with the Oakland Raiders in 1962 before joining the Jets the following season in the same capacity under Weeb Ewbank.
He was a warrior and he didn't care about getting hurt.
Think of all the pressure on Luck in that 2013 contest?
The Cardinals offensive line has been healthy this year and has done a solid job pass protecting in recent weeks.
This is kind of a break off of what they've done.
They don't want to go home empty-handed.
Again, like I said above, the fact that the Colts have not signed another veteran quarterback is one of the biggest reasons why I believe Luck should be okay for the start of the regular season.
In addition, he became the first coach to lead the Bears to a winning record and a postseason berth in his first year since Paddy Driscoll in 1956.
In 1974, by which time the silver paint began looking a little tawdry, Bill painted it blue, doing the prep work and applying the new hue himself in his driveway.
http://www.dallasapparels.com/6-Jersey second-round pick by the Hurricanes in the 2010 NHL Draft, Faulk continued to gain notice in 2012 when he was named the team's https://www.tampabayapparels.com/66-Jersey valuable player by the Carolina chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association.
One-pedal driving is possible when the regenerative braking setting is adjusted to the highest level of 3, while drivers who want a smoother drive can put it on a lower setting of 0, or 2.
: After our bye week, I assume a majority of our players will be healthy to play.
John?s Coach Mike Jarvis is considered a candidate to take over Florida Atlantic?s men's basketball program but has not been offered a deal, spokeswoman Katrina McCormick said Friday, according to an Associated Press report.
My range is somewhere from 15 to 20 plays depending on how well things go.
Many talented people are in the NXT system who haven't been getting opportunities because of the old format, such as Keith Lee and Donovan Dijakovic.
It's obvious they valued this AMX, preserving the original interior as well as plenty of other factory equipment like the Big Bad Blue paint and ultra-cool side pipes.
A true triple threat during his Pitt career, he in 2015 became the first NCAA player in eight years to log 20 or more yards each in receiving, rushing and passing in consecutive games …
Although it seems like they don't mind the number of players at those spots, they could be in the market to claim a fourth running back, a ninth offensive lineman or a fifth backer.
It's going to take some time, but I believe James will be Canton-bound.
In 1993, Wang sold the car to a very private Ferrari collector who had no interest in showing the car.
The GM ECU and modern injectors are disguised, and the coils are hidden under Billet Specialties valve covers.
Edwards had gained 8 yards before losing the ball and the Cardinals gained another 12 yards when Cardinal John Gilliam managed to recover the fumble.
I'm not sure if the new rule will greatly impact how those cuts come about, but that should not alter cornerback being a need for the Colts.

Food banks across B.C. co-ordinate to cover needs as flooding strains supply chain
The pandemic, floods, and strained supply chains have put a strain on B.C. food banks as they head into their busiest season. (Maggie MacPherson/CBC - image credit)
On a Monday morning in late November, the lineup for the Richmond Food Bank snakes through the parking lot and around the block.
Hajira Hussain, the food bank's executive director, said demand is up seven per cent up since October — and the busiest month of the year is yet to come.
"Any supply chain issue or any increase to food prices definitely increases the number of people that are accessing the food bank," said Hussain.
Food banks, already dealing with higher-than-usual demand since the start of the pandemic, are now also coping with the supply chain issues affecting much of B.C., made worse by the catastrophic flooding that has shut down many critical highways.
So far, the food bank in Richmond has managed to avoid most of the shortages, said Hussain, which is now sending six crates of excess non-perishable food items to the hard-hit Chilliwack food bank on a daily basis.
Still, there are items that have become difficult to find.
"We usually provide eggs, and they are back ordered, so hopefully it will even itself out as the highways and the roads are opening up," said Hussain.
Empty shelves in grocery stores across B.C. have once again become a common sight, driven by a combination of flood-induced panic-buying, and shortages caused by ongoing supply chain issues.
In the immediate aftermath of the flooding, the Abbotsford Food Bank saw unprecedented demand, as families who lost homes when water surged accessed it for the first time. Much of the perishable fresh foods that they serve come from local farms, which have been severely impacted by the floods. Shelves were often empty by 1:30 p.m.

Hussain said while many of the initial shortages have subsided, she urges people to resist the urge to panic buy and buy more than their household needs, explaining the behaviour harms those who can't afford to hoard.
"Panic buying definitely affects the people who want to go to the grocery store to buy their essentials," she said.
"My request to people is, leave some for the people that need it, especially the essentials — your milk, your eggs. Take what you need and leave some for others because there's no need to panic buy at this time," she said.
Hussain said the shortages have been in part offset by efforts from FoodMesh — a local food recovery service that works with grocers and other organizations to "rescue" foods that would otherwise go to waste.
The food recovered by FoodMesh has allowed the Richmond food bank to increase its perishable food offerings from 30 per cent of its overall inventory, to 70 per cent.
Megan Czerpak of FoodMesh said it also diverts food past its expiry date to farmers, who in turn use it to feed their animals.
"We make sure that anything that is edible goes to hunger relief organizations to turn into meals, while anything that is no longer appropriate for human consumption is diverted to farmers for animal feed. So meals first remains our top priority," she said.
Hussain said that while the food banks across B.C. continue to face cascading challenges, the lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic have served her well.
"The pandemic has taught us so many good lessons and it has definitely equipped us to tackle these changes so we are in a better position to source food now," she said.

Four Things on the Horizon in Childhood Cancer
By Lisa Diller, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Dana-Farber/Boston Children's
The 20th century saw striking advances in curing childhood cancer, primarily as a result of the discovery that broadly toxic chemotherapy agents could kill malignant cells. As a result, pediatric cancer, once a virtually incurable disease, now enjoys an overall long-term survival rate that tops 80 percent. In the 21st century, attention is turning to newer agents that promise to open additional, less toxic avenues to cure. For Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 2015, here are four things on the horizon for pediatric cancer.
Treatment for cancers is now being transformed because we can genetically characterize an individual's tumor, finding genetic changes that suggest specific targeted therapies. These therapies are developed for specific targets that may be implicated in a wide variety of pediatric and adult cancers. A cancer's biology, rather than its location in the body or the age of the patient, becomes the salient factor. Drugs that are proving effective at treating an adult lymphoma, for instance, can also treat a pediatric solid tumor with similar biologic characteristics. Likewise, a discovery in pediatric cancer can open new avenues of treatment for adult cancers.
Still, there are barriers to overcome in bringing these discoveries to children with cancer. We need drugs in liquid form for young children, yet many drugs are being developed only as pills. We need preclinical testing in pediatric models and efficient early phase trials to establish the appropriate dosing for children. We must recognize that some pathways implicated in the development of a childhood cancer might be different from the pathways indicated in adult cancers, but there may still be crossover in terms of the therapeutic agents themselves. Pediatric cancers often involve changes in the epigenome – or in gene regulation – rather than mutations or abnormalities in gene sequencing. The question is can we use the same pathways being used in precision medicine to target epigenetic changes. >>More about precision cancer medicine
Immunotherapy is another new approach generating excitement in the treatment of pediatric and adult cancers. The Food and Drug Administration recently approved Unituxin™ (dinutuximab), an antibody agent for high-risk neuroblastoma, making it the first immunotherapy drug for pediatric cancer to earn FDA approval. Meanwhile, promising pediatric trials are underway for an immunotherapy approach that genetically modifies a patient's T-cells to recognize tumor cells in treatment-resistant leukemia. There is a lot of enthusiasm about similarly modifying the immune system's T-cells to treat other cancers.
Exciting advances are being made in adult oncology in immune checkpoint blockade therapy that uses drugs to teach a patient's own immune system to recognize and reject tumor cells. Already there have been dramatic advances in melanoma outcomes and promising results in other adult-onset cancers. We are beginning to learn how to use this approach in pediatric cancers. There is also a lot of interest in looking at specific cancers whose genetic mutations may act as "neoantigens," or new antigens, suggesting another potential avenue for immunotherapy. >>More about immunotherapy
Reducing Toxicity
The improved cure rates that characterized the last half of the 20th century came at a cost, as chemotherapy and radiation often have long-term negative effects that appeared as more treated children survived into adulthood. Many developed serious chronic conditions, including heart disease, infertility and secondary malignancies. Since the late 20th century, we have increasingly sought ways to reduce the toxicity of treatment to maintain cure rates with fewer late effects. These efforts will continue.
Both targeted therapies and immunotherapy are promising not only because of their potential curative powers but also because they are potentially less toxic than standard chemotherapy. Clinicians also continue to explore ways to reduce radiation, as well as to make it more targeted to the tumor and involve less normal tissue. We will likely have information, in the years to come, that will predict who is at higher risk for specific toxicities. This may help clinicians, parents and patients make decisions about best therapies, factoring in not only the likelihood of cure but also issues around long-term quality of life. >>More about reducing toxicity
The strides in improved cure rates in North America and Europe have often not reached the developing world. Meanwhile, as improved health care systems reduce the risk of childhood death from malnutrition, diarrhea and infectious diseases, resources in developing countries can be directed toward the care of children with cancer. Today, clinicians in the United States, Canada and Europe are working with clinicians in Latin America, Africa and parts of Asia to improve outcomes.
Because pediatric cancers are rare, pediatric oncology is a global community accustomed to collaborating internationally, which offers a good platform for a stronger focus on improving survival of childhood cancer globally. Understanding the patterns of cancer throughout the world and differences in incidence in different countries may bring insights into understanding the causes of childhood cancer, as well. >>More about global health
Our specialized new patient coordinators can answer your questions about treatment options and becoming a patient.
Precision Cancer Medicine
Precision cancer medicine provides individualized treatment tailored to the specific genetic characteristics of a patient's cancer. Our research and clinical trials are leading the way in precision medicine for pediatric cancer.
Through clinical trials and research, Dana-Farber/Boston Children's is at the forefront of innovative treatments, including gene therapy.

Golimumab Improves Long-Term Radiographic Outcomes in Psoriatic Arthritis
Lauren Grygotis, Editor
Follow @https://twitter.com/RheumAdvisor
Five-year treatment with golimumab was found to be associated with long-term improvements in function, patient global assessment, and radiographic outcomes.
Treatment with golimumab in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) was associated with improvement in long-term function, patient global assessments, and radiographic outcomes when patients achieved minimal disease activity (MDA), according to results from the Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Golimumab in Patients With Active Psoriatic Arthritis (GO-REVEAL).
GO-REVEAL was a phase 3, randomized, double-blind clinical trial in which participants received placebo for 24 weeks, followed by an open-label extension of golimumab 50/100 mg for up to 5 years. Researchers evaluated long-term outcomes in 405 PsA patients who achieved or did not achieve MDA through 5 years of golimumab treatment.
"The implications of achieving MDA over a longer period have not been explored to date," the authors wrote in their study, published in Arthritis Care & Research. "Based on patient data collected from the GO-REVEAL study, treatment with golimumab resulted in achievement of MDA in approximately 50% of patients through 5 years."
Treatment with golimumab resulted in an MDA response rate of 23.5% at 14 weeks, compared with a 1.0% response rate for patients taking the placebo control (P <.0001). The response rates were also significantly higher for patients receiving golimumab vs placebo at 24 weeks (28.1% vs 7.7%; P<.0001) and 52 weeks (42.4% vs 30.2%; P=.037).
The authors noted that radiographic benefit in patients with persistent MDA was more pronounced in patients using methotrexate at baseline.
Approximately 50% of patients taking golimumab achieved MDA at least once. Patients who achieved MDA at ≥3 and ≥4 consecutive visits had significantly less radiographic progression when compared to patients who did not achieve MDA. At 256 weeks, these patients also had significant improvement in components of MDA criteria that allowed for assessment of physical function (Health Assessment Questionnaire disability index [HAQ DI]) and overall disease activity.
Results from logistic regression analyses indicated that a 1-unit higher baseline HAQ DI score decreased the likelihood of achieving MDA at ≥3 (odds ratio [OR]: 0.514; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.321-0.824; P=.006) and ≥4 consecutive visits (OR: 0.480; 95% CI, 0.290-0.795; P=.004).
Summary and Clinical Applicability
Patients with PsA treated with golimumab over the course of 5 years showed significant improvement in long-term function, global assessment, and radiographic outcome. Aiming for MDA as part of a treat-to-target strategy may result in long-term radiographic and functional benefit.

Sacred Bamboo is a woody shrub, native to China and Japan, often used in landscaping. Its distinctive double-compound or triple-compoud leaves which have lance shaped leaflets are held on multiple nonbranching stems. The plant has an overall lacy appearance and upright form, growing up to 6-8 ft tall. The plant tends to form ever larger clumps. In spring, there are large panicles of small white flowers at the end of stems followed by green berries which ripen to bright red that are held for many months (unless eaten by birds). The wood is bright yellow. There are several dwarf cultivars that range in height from about 1.5-4 ft.

Q: Loading an xml file with different view per viewmodel? There are two things i want to do with MVVMLight but I don't know where to start.

*

*Serialise an XML file as a viewmodel or use as a datasource

Would you recommend a different format (i can change at this point), I can't find any tutorials for mvvmlight relating to setting up a datasource initially.

*

*Use a different layout depending on a particular type of record in the xml file

i'm considering using switch statements to hide/show and reorganise everything programmatically but it doesn't seem right.
I currently use linq to read into a model, but without using MVVMlight (will this still work with MVVM?)
public IEnumerable<Quiz.Question> LoadQuestions()
{

        XDocument questionData = XDocument.Load("questions.xml");

        var data = from query in questionData.Descendants("question")
                   select new Quiz.Question
                   {
                       QuestionTitle = (string)query.Attribute("title"),
                       QuestionText = query.Element("text") != null ? query.Element("text").Value.Trim() : string.Empty,
                       QuestionImage = query.Element("image") != null ? query.Element("image").Attribute("src").Value : string.Empty
                   };

        var shuffledData = Enumerable.Shuffle<Quiz.Question>(data);

        return shuffledData;
}

A: The format you store you data in and the number of files you use will depend on the data and how it's used within the application.
You need to find the balance in: serialization and deserialization performance/speed, ease of working with the data, size of files, number of files (and management of files), and ability to use external libraries.
When it comes to file foramts and serialization, binary is normally faser than JSON, which is normally faster than XML.
The library you use for the serialization can also affect things greatly. (Hint. if using JSON format data, use JSON.Net rather than DatContractjsonSerializer.)
Again there are no general rules for how to display different data. How you do so will depend on the data, what differs and the archtecture of the app.
If the data is very different you may want to use different pages for the different data.
You could use different usercontrols for each type of data and load the appropriate one within the page.
You could use different templates.
Or you could link (bind) the visibility of a UIElement to the data type or whether certain fields are present in the data.

Today, no work since it's national holiday here in Italy and between ugly weather and getting all emotional from the commemorations, I really didn't feel like doing anything but reading (that I was reading some novellas by Courtney Milan might have something to do with my reading mood ♥).
Then I discovered what was missing and jumped on Scrivener to write that.
Day 25 Camp Nanowrimo #InstaVlog continued... My writing. I've already made some changes but this is what draft 2 started as. It's totally different from my first draft and I'm excited to see where this story takes me, where the characters lead me. I'm just along for the ride.
Six months ago, on November 1st 2018, I remembered I had signed up for Nanowrimo. My project back then was my very first attempt at a novel. I was almost finished, but it held no joy for me anymore. I decided, screw it, I'm starting a new novel.
In a day, I thought up some plot points - I already had characters l, just nowhere for them to go. I started writing and within three months, I had my very first finished draft.
This was the time when I started to believe I could be a writer. I started seeing progress in my writing. It was when I decided I didn't want a life without this in it.
It was the right decision. I still love this story with all my heart. It's on my mind every day, whether I'm writing or not, and in a way, I'm glad that even this isn't the end.
I will do a rough read-through tomorrow - there are a few things on my mind that I want to fix. Then I'm not going to touch it for all of May and let my critique partners work their magic. I can't imagine what it'll be like letting this go for a month after half a year with it, but I'm excited to do some writing without any seriousness to it, plan other projects and maybe take up writing short stories again.
Whatever will happen, I am incredibly proud of myself, proud of what i have created. This might not be the novel to get me published, but it is the first novel that I know has actual potential.
The end is actually only the beginning - and I can't wait for what's to come.
Now out on Amazon in Paperback and eBook!
Day 25 Camp Nanowrimo #InstaVlog 😴😴😴 Late night writing turned into late night gaming, but like any other responsible adult, I've got my writing shirt on and I'm ready to work. .
So excited to add Fire Engine No. 9 to our home library! 🔥 .
Such a beautiful book with bright colors and illustrations. It's simple and has fun sounds! The boys always giggle when I'm imitating the siren. 🚨 .
It's also a great intro to jobs, fire safety, and fire fighters. 👨🚒 .
What have you added to your library lately? 📚 .
1. My nail polishes. So what if "writing" time also sometimes means "painting my nails so I can feel like an adult in peace" time.
2. My "Write Drunk, Edit Sober" Hemingway poster. Lucky I'm still in the writing phase.
3. A photo of my kid dressed as an elephant because of course.
4. Bill Bryson's The Mother Tongue. One of my all time favorite nonfiction writers also happens to be a fellow Iowan. This one is great for all you lovers of the English language.
After our long Easter hiatus we reached our goal last night!! We still plan to work in the series everyday (still more fun to be had in book 1) but we are adding to our goals for these last few days!
This is the post I created for Twitter's #wedwipaesthetic the theme was significant relationship. I feel like this covers Callie and Jess's relationship well. Their love and journey impacts my story across many layers.
I don't know where all of this love came from but I appreciate it!!! What a lovely boost for a little author lady!
Now out on Amazon in Paperback and eBook!!
My biggest challenge as a writer is time.
I'm a write-from-home-mom of two little boys. Writing happens in the few stolen hours after 11:00pm.
But that's not a very interesting answer. Everyone is busy. You either find the time or you don't. Here are a few more personal challenges.
My TBR pile is a challenge. I posted previously about my insecurity that I'm not well enough read to be an author. But with basically unlimited books in existence, it's really a sliding scale and we each have to decide where we're comfortable.
I also have felt insecure about the actual prose of my writing. I've always felt pretty confident that I could weave an engaging story, but I haven't always been sure I could execute it. After actually getting some words down, I'm feeling a lot more confident.
So for now, I try to quell my impatience. I am writing the book I want to read. I wish I could just zip through the story, perfectly told!
This photo was taken after an epic meltdown. Parenthood is a master class on patience. It's finding grace for a screaming toddler, and then for yourself. It's moments of trying to send comfort through each of your fingertips. It's beautiful.
I'm immensely behind in terms of word count for this April, but that's okay! 💕 I've learned - not that long ago - to take care of my health first and my writing comes second. I can't choose what days will be good and bad, but I can control the outlook that I have on my writing and my writing process.
That said, I'm taking these last 7 days of April and making them all into intensive writing days to try to reach my new word count goals. It isn't over until it's over, folks.
Day 24 of #campnanowrimo .
Away with work and my room is somewhere down this creepy corridor!
My son has a new violin, which he took to school for the first time today. New means new to him. The instrument is 112 years old.
Listening to him play on lots of different violins, even non-musical me could tell that having the right tools really does make a difference.
So, happy #worldstationeryday , and I hope you have the right tools to help you craft the best words you can, clobber your word count goals, and dominate #campnanowrimo .
I'm going to work out some problems with a short story.
Imagine you're reading some kind of poetic line about the luminance and zest of writing outside on a sunny day.
Does the outside world inspire your novel? Or maybe the sunlight just energises you as it does me? Things seem a lot better in the warm sun. Or, well, kind of chilly sun actually as we get a lot of sea breeze here.
Either way. I got a lot done just by sitting outside with a pen and paper. Most of that was counting words. Doh.
It's time for another #NanoWriMo Instagram challenge! We've come up with 31 prompts to help get you in the writing mood before #CampNaNoWriMo starts in April. Post your pics for the photo prompts with the hashtag #InstaWrimo and we'll feature some of our favorites each day!
Today we're starting off with the prompt "your writing inspiration".
Found this on Pinterest and thought it was a great character sheet to help keep a character's reactions consistent. Sometimes I worry about a character reacting in a way that's convenient to the scene rather than consistent to the character and I think this could be very helpful!
It's #nanowrimo2018 day 6. Short captions today, because I should be writing.
💛🥤🚧 #nanothatwrimo when do you write | I've been waking up at 5am to squeeze in a few hundred words each morning before work, but the bulk of my writing is done in the evenings (or, at least I would, if I hadn't had to wade through 2 hrs of traffic between work and Panera).
💛🥤🚧 #novelswithsteph18 cranking out the words: 10k | I'm about to hit 20k, if I could refocus from the bad mood/panic attack I've had tonight. Again, see 2 hrs of traffic.
💛🥤🚧 #wrimohero turning point: what motivates you? | Often times, I'm motivated by competition, churning out words to keep pace with my fellow NaNo participants. Other times, I'm motivated by a sense of escape into my story.
For Day 28 of #InstaWrimo , we're finding things to celebrate! 🎉 @abookbumble is celebrating both her new Camp NaNoWriMo mug, and the completion of a story. Congrats!
What are you celebrating today, Wrimos?
For Day 17 of #InstaWrimo , we wanted to know what you'd find at the end of the rainbow! Loved this rainbow of books by @stevie.writes , and their response: "I think in writing there's lots of 'at the end of the rainbow' moments.
What about you? What's the big moments you are holding out for?"
I'm changing up my desk and plugging in my favorite keyboard - this Datamancer Diviner.
Using it makes me happy.
In other happy news, to celebrate spring I went out and played golf for the first time in more than 15 years. It could have gone worse and I certainly got my money's worth.

In-flight entertainment systems have been the main area of innovation for most airlines- the idea has been to provide travelers with an ever expanding array of options from the comfort of their seats.
The Airbus A380 because of its size- gives airlines a lot of options when it comes to innovating around the space.
However, most developments to date have been fairly standard- making a better business class and cramming more people into the plane are the typical routes.
Below is a video of how Korean Airlines are using the opportunity of the space in the A380 to transform the experience by adding a duty-free store and a bar.
It's an interesting development that uses physical space to provide travelers with the opportunity to get up off their seats- interact with others- instead of being chained to their seats and the entertainment system.
It's also smart for Pernod and Absolut to partner with Korean to create a one-of-a kind branded experience that certainly has considerable talk value and provides great exposure for the brand.

Protests against insecurity in Cameroon
Cameroon: Presbyterian Church calls for peace, end to violent attacks against civilians
The Presbyterian Church in Cameroon enjoins government and separatist forces to embrace peace amid an unfortunate series of killings and increasing civilian casualities.
By Vatican News staff writer
Leaders of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon have condemned the series of recent killings by armed separatist forces and the military in the country, which have led to the deaths of about twenty persons.
In a statement released on Monday, the Presbyterian Church said that the "dreadful" killings of civilians have "seemingly blurred the ray of hope for the year 2021" after 2020, which was a "very challenging year for Cameroonians and the world at large."
The Presbyterian Church also notes that the killings defy some "ongoing moves towards peace" and the nationally organized Ecumenical/Inter-religious march for peace held on 2 January 2021 by religious leaders in Cameroon.
"We the Religious Leaders will not be deterred in our prophetic role as the conscience of the Nation. We condemn forcefully and unequivocally all those who perpetrate violence in our Nation. Violence will never win, but justice and peace will," read the statement signed by Rt. Rev. Fonki Samuel Forba, Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon and the President of Cameroon's Council of Protestant Churches, as well as the Council of Inter-Religious Dialogue in Cameroon.
Unfortunate killings
Listing the latest attacks in Cameroon, the statement highlighted the killing of five people, including a female journalist, on 6 January by a roadside bomb that exploded on a convoy of government officials being escorted by the military between Andek and Mbengwi. Two days later, on 8 January, four military personnel and two civilians were killed in an attack on an army post at Matazem-Santa.
On 9 January, unidentified men killed the five-year-old son of a pastor behind his house in the Wum-Menchum Division; and on 10 January, at least nine civilians, including a child, were killed in Mautu-Muyuka Sub-Division.
Concern about continuous cycle of violence
Citing the "complex nature of the attacks and counter-attacks" and the "further use of explosives" by both the military and the "armed separatist forces," the Presbyterian Church leaders expressed concern that "the prevalence of these gruesome and inhuman acts on Cameroonians indicates that this cycle of violence is in no way near the end" and "insinuates the determination of both sides to continue on the path of war."
In this regard, the Presbyterian leaders called for peace, stressing that the cycle of violence is "a worrisome concern." They further stressed that "justice, dialogue and not war leads to sustainable peace."
Appeal against violence
Appealing to political authorities, the Presbyterian leaders called on the government to take up her responsibility to bring the conflict to an end and "earn her rightful place as the custodian of national life and welfare."
The statement also called on the leaders of the armed separatist forces to "value human life and stop the torment and killings."
As religious leaders, the statement continued, "we condemn in the strongest terms all forms of violence that continue to bring untold pain and torture to Cameroonians. We condemn all those who waste life made in the image of God…let them be reminded that God will hold each one of us accountable for acts that contradict His will and wisdom behind creation. Furthermore, history will not pardon the main actors of this epoch of blood and war."
Concluding the statement, the Presbyterian leaders reaffirmed that they would continue to lead their adherents in prayers for the nation and would make themselves available as mediators in the "search for durable peace and justice." They also urged Cameroonians to "give a thought to peace and justice for this New Year 2021."

Home > Collections > Bullet Pens > 400 - Chrome Bullet Space Pen
Item Number: #400
Composition: Chrome Plated Brass
Packaging: Moonscape Gift Box with Astronaut Sleeve
Excluded from coupons, discounts, and promotions
In manufacturing, it is not often that a design becomes instantly classic or iconic. It takes a lot of time, appreciation by its peers, and a track record of proven success to show a design's true place historically within its respective category. The Bullet Pen has become not only an iconic design for Fisher Space Pen Co., but an example of industrial art itself, which is why this pen design is still held in the permanent collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art.
Conceived in 1948 by Paul C. Fisher, the Bullet has been a part of pop culture over that past half-century. Seen on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and being the focus of the Seinfeld episode entitled 'The Pen', this highly sought-after space pen keeps customers coming back, from generation to generation.
When closed, the Bullet is the perfect size to carry in your wallet, pocket, purse, car glove box, organizer, or toolbox. When open, it's a full sized, evenly balanced writing instrument that performs in the most unique environments. Like all Fisher Space Pens, this pen will write in zero-gravity, upside down, underwater, over oil and grease, in -30 to +250 degrees Fahrenheit, and three times longer than the average ballpoint pen. Whether you're a trade professional, writer, teacher, artist, executive, or just someone who appreciates a premium writing experience at an affordable price, this space pen is for you!
The Bullet design is timeless and elegant, yet it is also extremely durable, something that most ballpoint pens are not known for. When someone says, "I've got a Space Pen!", most of the time they are referring to the Bullet. Again, further evidence of its popularity and solidifying its place in history as a "classic" in the ballpoint pen industry.

Q: How do I use a package in composer that has the same name as another package? I have a rare case where I have two packagists in play here because I'm working on a Drupal Project. I have https://packagist.org and http://packagist.drupal-composer.org/.
The problem here is that they both define the package drupal/coder. One of them respects the composer.json, and the other does not, but generates one. I'm fixing to go create an issue over here that tells them to respect the composer.json is one is available.
I would like to use the package from packagist.org, but since I define packagist.drupal-composer.org, I'm not able to.
Is there a way to identify a package from a specific source, or to redefine a repository that already has a package.
I tried to add
{
  "type": "vcs",
  "url": "http://git.drupal.org/project/coder.git"
}

in my repositories to no avail. Doing a composer update; composer show simply shows me the package from packagist.drupal-composer.org. Additionally, defining:
{
  "type": "composer",
  "url": "http://packagist.org"
}

Provides me with the same results.
My last thought is to define a "package" and point it at the repository with a different name but seems like a lame work around because then I have to maintain "versions".

A: Yes thats definitely a problem. But here is a workaround, just the package definition above packagist.drupal-composer.org to your composer.json.

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "composer",
        "url": "https://packagist.org/p/drupal/coder.json"
    },
    {
        "type": "composer",
        "url": "http://packagist.drupal-composer.org"
    }
]

A: *

*You define Drupal's packagist as Composer type repo.

*You define a git repo for the drupal/coder repo.

Both definitions go into the repository section.
Now: all packages are fetched from http://packagist.drupal-composer.org/, except drupal/coder.
Here you go:
{
    "type": "project",
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "git",
            "url": "http://git.drupal.org/project/coder.git"
        },
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "packagist.drupal-composer.org"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "drupal/coder": "8.2.1"
    }
}

Freedom of panorama
intellectual property | new technologies
In computer games and apps, the use of images of nature, like mountain streams, does not raise doubts in terms of copyright. But the use of architectural structures, such as bridges, monuments or buildings, can be problematic, because they are generally regarded as "works" for copyright purposes.
Using images of architectural structures and disseminating them in any form (e.g. a photo) depends on the consent of the creator of the structure. There is no problem if the copyright to the structure has expired. Then nobody's consent must be obtained. But the requirement to obtain consent applies to all works for which the copyright is still in force. Then the principle of "freedom of panorama" can come into play. It permits the use of images of structures within a public space without obtaining the consent of the designers.
Freedom of panorama is not harmonised across the EU, which causes lots of confusion. It is not provided for example by French, Greek or Italian law. In some countries the institution functions but applies only to non-commercial use (e.g. in Estonia, Iceland, Latvia and Lithuania). In yet other countries, it applies to both commercial and non-commercial use, and its scope is broad enough to cover both structures and works of art (e.g. in Germany, Poland, Portugal and Spain).
Where's the panorama?
Perhaps the best-known computer game using landscapes with Polish architecture is "The Vanishing of Ethan Carter." Players manoeuvre through an area stylised as Colorado, but in reality the buildings, bridges, dams and mines are in Lower Silesia.
Nowadays a computer game is not exclusively a commercial domain, but is also a tool for constructing cultural identity. Thus Polish provinces, regions and cities increasingly create their own computer games and apps to showcase landmarks, such as town halls, monuments, and signature works of contemporary architecture. Photos of some Polish cities are also used in traditional board games, such as Monopoly. Gdańsk is preparing an adventure game that takes place in the contemporary city and surroundings. There are also many apps that are mobile guides to major Polish cities, obviously including photos of buildings and other structures (squares, parks, landmarks, skyscrapers, churches, hospitals, museums and so on).
For all creators of games and apps, exercising the freedom of panorama is an invaluable right. Under Polish law, this institution is addressed in Art. 33(1) of the Act on Copyright and Related Rights as one type of permissible use. According to the act, "it is permissible to disseminate works permanently displayed in generally accessible roads, streets, squares or gardens, but not for the same use." From the point of view of software developers, what is most important here is the lack of restrictions on commercial use of images of Polish architectural structures and obtaining benefits from their dissemination. But how can the freedom of panorama be legally exploited, and where are its limits? What cannot be included in a game or app?
Level 1 – not for the same use
An office tower, shopping mall or bridge can be photographed and then for example with the help of photogrammetry included in a computer game. The work will then definitely not be put to the same as the original, because the method of use will not be identical to the main method in which the original work is used. This will be a permissible use.
Level 2 – generally accessible
Permissible use of a panorama applies only to works that are displayed, but only in a free, open and generally accessible space. General accessibility is not excluded by the fact that the structure is open only during certain hours or with an admission fee. But one cannot freely exercise the freedom of panorama to use the interiors of buildings. This applies not only to the interior as such, but also to works that are displayed in interiors. This refers for example to restaurants, train stations, post offices, banks, public buildings and shopping malls. Even though they are publicly accessible, the works displayed there are not located in "free space."
Level 3 – permanent
For the image of a work to be used, it must be displayed permanently. This should be tied to the location of the work in a specific public place, without time limitations on its presentation. It thus may be problematic to apply the freedom of panorama to structures that are short-lived because of the materials they are made from, such as structures made from ice or sand, but also graffiti on buildings, walls or bridges, although in the latter case the views may vary. Shop windows would not fall under the freedom of panorama because of their impermanence.
Level 4 – in roads, streets, square or gardens
The somewhat unfortunate choice of the preposition "in" roads, streets, squares or gardens should not discourage exercise of the freedom of panorama. This formulation should be understood to mean that freedom of panorama applies to structures located next to such places, and has nothing to do with the perspective from which they are seen. Thus there is no reason such structures cannot be photographed from the air, from an observation deck or from any other perspective.
Level 5 – additions
Another type of problem may arise when, for example, the game is supposed to take place at night, and images of buildings with lighting are to be used. It must be borne in mind that lighting may enjoy its own protection as a separate work, but it would not be covered by the freedom of panorama. Therefore, while use in a computer game of a picture of the building itself will be permissible, use of a picture of the same building illuminated with a lighting installation will require the relevant consent. A similar problem could arise for example with respect to advertising displayed on buildings.
"Panorama, we have a problem"
Looking at the Polish regulations governing the freedom of panorama, one may well ask where the problem lies. The problem is that it is not entirely clear whether the freedom of panorama apples only tophotography, as fixed on film, and thus transferring architectural structures into a game or app "directly," or also secondary works in which the image of the structure has been modified, e.g. paintings, drawing or graphics, which play a huge role in computer games.
As indicated above, in Poland the freedom of panorama is a form of permissible use. To what extent should this understanding be adjusted through the wording of Art. 35 of the Act on Copyright and Related Rights? This provision states that permissible use must not infringe the normal use of the work or conflict with the valid interests of the creator. Does this mean that the broad rule on the freedom of panorama only seems at first glance to be so broad, but is in fact restricted by Art. 35?
Despite these doubts, Polish developers of games and apps enjoy more extensive freedom to use their native landscapes than is the case in many other European countries. The Polish computer game industry is truly world-class, which makes the possibility of safely exploiting the country's panoramas all the more encouraging.

Man charged in Tiki Laverdiere death pleads guilty to unlawful confinement
January 12, 2021, 10:28 p.m. ·2 min read
An Edmonton man charged in the death of Tiki Laverdiere pleaded guilty to kidnapping with intent to unlawfully confine.
Thirty-three-year-old Charles St. Savard — one of 10 people charged in Laverdiere's murder — entered the guilty plea in North Battleford provincial court Jan. 11 via CCTV.
Crown prosecutor Charlotte Morden and defence Tim Nolin entered a joint submission. A charge of first-degree murder against St. Savard was withdrawn in October.
Morden asked the court for a sentence of 24 to 33 months imprisonment. Nolin asked the court for two years less a day. Judge Kevin Hill sentenced St. Savard to 14 months plus 20 days. With credit for the nine months and nine days he has served in remand, St. Savard's sentence equals two years less one day. St. Savard was ordered to submit a DNA sample and was given a lifetime prohibition on owning firearms.
Laverdiere, 25, from Edmonton, was reported missing to Battlefords RCMP on May 12, 2019. She was in Saskatchewan April 27, 2019, to attend the funeral of Tristen Cook-Buckle, 20, on Thunderchild First Nation. RCMP found Laverdiere's body in a rural area near North Battleford on July 11, 2019.
Over a one-year span, police arrested 10 people in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Others arrested included Nicole Cook, Soaring Eagle Whitstone, Shayla Orthner, Danita Thomas, Jesse Sangster, Nikita Sandra Cook, Samuel Takakenew, Brent Checkosis and Mavis Takakenew.
In May 2019, Mavis Takakenew and Brent Checkosis pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact to murder and were sentenced to 18 months and seven years, respectively. The charges against the seven remaining co-accused haven't been proven in court.
There is a ban on publication on the sentencing hearings for St. Savard, Checkosis and Mavis Takakenew until the trials of all the co-accused are finished.
Albanian soldier dies in Afghanistan peacekeeping mission
TIRANA, Albania — Albania's Defence Ministry on Wednesday reported the death of a soldier in Afghanistan, the second from the tiny Western Balkan country to die during the international peacekeeping mission. The soldier, identified only by the initials Xh. J., died Tuesday night at 1810 GMT (1:10 p.m. EST), the ministry said in a statement. It didn't specify the location or give any details about the circumstances. The ministry said that the Albanian military was assisting an investigation by the command of the Resolute Support Mission operation in Afghanistan, made up of around 16,000 troops from 38 countries. Albania, a NATO member since 2009, has been part of the international mission since 2010. The country currently has 99 troops in Afghanistan, located at two bases in Herat and Kabul. The ministry expressed condolences to the family and "assure the personnel in the mission and their families of continuous support in the successful accomplishment of their mission."

Two snakes and four big cats are all that remain of the Cherry Brook Zoo
Almost nine months after it closed its doors permanently, Saint John's Cherry Brook Zoo still has six inhabitants waiting to go to their new homes. All that remains of the once-bustling zoo are two lions, two tigers and two snakes. All six have found new homes, but the hold-up is with the four big cats, explains zookeeper Erin Brown, who has been overseeing the relocation of the zoo's animals. Because they're going to the United States, there's a complicated permit process that often takes six to 12 months, explained Brown. Essentially, the zoo has to prove that the big cats were legally obtained, and that their transfer follows all of the guidelines laid out under the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). Brown said all of the permits required on the Canadian side of the border have been obtained. The hold-up is in the U.S. She said the COVID-19 pandemic and political unrest south of the border may also have contributed to the delay. "It could be making policies move a little more slowly," she said. When the zoo announced it would close for good last May, there were 80 animals — from 35 different species — living at the zoo, and all had to find new homes, said executive director Martha McDevitt. She said staff spent a lot of time checking out prospective new homes to make sure the animals would be safe and well cared for. "It was a big task," said McDevitt. The zoo had a number of farm-type animals, like miniature donkeys, goats and pigs that went to hobby farms, mostly in New Brunswick. The more exotic animals required a bit more work and they're now spread out at facilities from Nova Scotia to Vancouver. "The big cats were the hardest to find homes for," Brown said. The first step was to notify Canada's Accredited Zoos and Aquariums, an accreditation and advocacy group better known as CAZA. But there weren't any facilities in Canada willing or able to take the big cats. Brown said they eventually started reaching out to sanctuaries, although that wasn't her first choice for the felines. That's when they heard from Popcorn Park in New Jersey, which is part zoo, part sanctuary. The facility has agreed to take the lions and has lined up a new home for the tigers, since it already has a number of tigers. So, until the proper permits are ready to go, the four big cats will remain in Saint John. For McDevitt, they're the hardest animals to say goodbye to. "You can't help but create these special bonds with these animals, especially specific ones," she said outside the tiger enclosure Tuesday morning. "For me personally, it's the big cats, the tigers. When I was a little… child, I wanted to be a tiger when I grew up. "That's impossible, I found out. So being able to work with them has been an absolute dream come true." McDevitt has been with the zoo since 2016 and the lions arrived shortly after she did. The tigers have been at the Cherry Brook Zoo since the summer of 2017. All four were hand-raised at an Ontario zoo before it closed in 2016. "So seeing them leave — and especially them going across the border — is really hard because I may not ever see them again. So that's been hard," said McDevitt. And because they were hand-raised, Brown said the big cats actually like people. "They love interacting with visitors," she said. It was a factor zoo staff considered when they looked at facilities willing to take them. "We had several facilities that offered space as a sanctuary situation, but we chose Popcorn Park because they're going to be in a zoo situation. A lot of these sanctuaries are really more suited to cats that don't like people." She said cats that come from abusive or neglectful situations prefer to live a quiet life with as little human interaction as possible. "But our cats love human interaction. They love seeing visitors. So choosing Popcorn Park was on purpose so that they could have that interaction with visitors." Once all the permits are in place, Popcorn Park will send its own relocation team to fetch the felines. They'll have specialized equipment and people, including a veterinarian. They have specialized cages with wheels that will be rolled right up to the door of their enclosure, and with a little food inside the crate as an added incentive, they cats should go in and be ready to be loaded into a specialized trailer for the ride to New Jersey. In the meantime, thanks to monthly donors who continue to contribute to the zoo — and the occasional one-time donation — life goes on for the big cats. With fewer animals to tend to, staff members have a bit more time to hand-feed and train the cats. With her bucket of cut-up deer meat, zookeeper Megan Gorey puts the lions, Aslan and Frieda — littermates who were born in 2014 — through a series of behaviours that she doesn't like to call tricks. The cats sit and lie down, and offer the correct paw on the fence as instructed. They also stand on their hind legs on command — all for a treat, of course. Gorey also demonstrates how she can draw blood and give injections with Luna, a five-year-old tiger who's been at the zoo since 2017. From the safety of the other side of the fence, Gorey tells Luna to lie down along the fence and as someone else feeds her meat treats, she barely reacts when the needle is used. Long goodbye Brown said she initially worried that a long delay before some of the animals left would be a painful way to say goodbye, but she's actually grateful for it now. She said each animal was able to get fussed over and given extra attention before they departed for their new homes. And with the four cats being among the last to go, it gave staff extra time with the zoo's most popular inhabitants — who just happen to be the biggest eaters as well. McDevitt said it costs a couple hundred dollars per cat per month — and that's even with the donations of roadkill from the Department of Natural Resources. One such donation just happened to arrive Tuesday morning and zookeepers were preparing to hoist entire deer legs up on poles in the cat enclosures to allow them to hunt and earn their meal. Once the big cats leave the Cherry Brook Zoo, the snakes will go as well, said Brown. The snakes will go home with one of the zookeepers, but as long as the zoo remains open for the lions and tigers, the snakes will stay as well.


Twitter (S TWTR) has acquired San Francisco-based video sharing startup SnappyTV, both companies announced Thursday without spilling any beans about the financials of the deal. You may have never heard of SnappyTV, but chances are, you've seen some of its work on Twitter before: SnappyTV has helped Turner to share March Madness clips in near-realtime, and also powered the video cards of numerous other TV networks. With the acquisition, Twitter obviously wants to bolster its own media chops, but the company promised Thursday that SnappyTV customers will continue to be able to share media on Facebook (S FB) and elsewhere as well.
