Michel Auclair (eigentlich Vladimir Vujović; * 14. September 1922 in Koblenz; † 7. Januar 1988 in Fayence) war ein französischer Schauspieler.

Leben
Michel Auclair wurde in Koblenz als Sohn eines Serben und einer Französin geboren. Sein Vater, Vojislav Vujović, war ein bekannter serbischer Kommunist und Sekretär der Kommunistischen Jugendinternationale.

Auclair zog mit seiner Mutter im Alter von drei Jahren nach Paris. Er besuchte das Pariser Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique und gab 1942 am Théâtre des Mathurins sein Bühnendebüt. Jean Cocteau förderte ihn früh, sodass Auclair unter anderem in Cocteaus Stücken an verschiedenen Theatern in Paris auftrat. Weitere Rollen übernahm Auclair auch in Stücken von Jean Anouilh und Paul Claudel.

Im Jahr 1945 kam Auclair zum Film. Als Ludovic, Bruder der Heldin Josette Day und Gegenspieler Jean Marais' in Cocteaus Es war einmal wurde Auclair 1946 einem größeren Filmpublikum bekannt. Er spielte in der Folge zumeist galante Liebhaber wie den Des Grieux in Henri-Georges Clouzots Version von Manon Lescaut (1949). In späteren Jahren hatte er dann Rollen dubioser Figuren inne (Der Rächer aus dem Sarg, Der Schakal, Tausend Milliarden Dollar). Häufig war Auclair an der Seite von Alain Delon zu sehen, darunter in Die Waffe des Teufels, Killer stellen sich nicht vor und Rette deine Haut, Killer.

Auclair verstarb 1988 und wurde auf dem Friedhof in Saint-Paul-en-Forêt beigesetzt.

Professor Denecke is Visiting Professor at Korea University (Seoul) and Visiting Scholar at Keio University (Tokyo) during the academic year 2018-2019.
Wiebke Denecke (魏樸和) was trained in Sinology, Japanology, Korean studies, philosophy, and medicine in her native Germany, in Hungary, Norway, Dalian, Taipei, Tokyo, and Seoul. She received her BA and MA from the University of Göttingen and her PhD from Harvard University. Her research and teaching encompasses classical literature and thought of China, Japan, and Korea, comparative studies of East Asia and the premodern world, world literature, and the politics of cultural heritage and memory.
She is interested in fundamental questions involving comparisons of early thought traditions of philosophy, persuasion, and rhetoric; poetry and poetics; court cultures; the development of literary traditions in multiliterate environments; literature, cross-cultural encounters, and diplomacy; and the creative recapturing of ancient East Asian traditions in the global present.
Her book The Dynamics of Masters Literature: Early Chinese Thought from Confucius to Han Feizi(Harvard University Press, Asia Center, 2011) argues that the desire for a Chinese equivalent for Western philosophy has warped our understanding of early Chinese thought, and shows how texts like the Confucian Analectsor the Laozican instead be read as part of a distinctive Chinese genre of "Masters Literature." Her second book, Classical World Literatures: Sino-Japanese and Greco-Roman Comparisons(Oxford University Press, 2014), examines the development of younger literatures vis-à-vis older, authoritative "reference cultures" by comparing the way early Japanese authors wrote their texts through and against Chinese literary precedents to the way Latin authors appropriated Greek literary precedents.
Denecke is broadly interested in the development of concepts of "Literature" (文学) in East Asia, and her collaborative publications on this topic invite aim to rediscover the world of premodern "Letters" (文) as a realm of cultural commonalities between China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, in this current moment, when national ideologies and the aftermath of 20thcentury atrocities overshadow the distinctive shared East Asian cultural heritage. To this effect she co-published The Concept of "Letters" and "Literature" in Japan (日本における文とブンガク Nihon ni okeru bun to bungaku) (with Kōno Kimiko; Tokyo: Benseisha, 2013), and the three-volume revisionary literary history A New History of Japanese "Letterature"(日本「文」学史 Nihon "bun"gakushi) (with Kōno Kimiko, Shinkawa Tokio, and Jinno Hidenori; Benseisha, 2015-). The third volume, From "Letters" to "Literature": Re-configuring East Asian Literatures (2019), is a first-of-its-kind comparative literary history of China, Japan, and Korea from the early modern period to our moment. She is co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Classical Chinese Literature. 1200 BCE-900 CE (with Wai-yee Li and Xiaofei Tian. New York: Oxford University Press, 2017) and co-editor of the first volume of The Wiley-Blackwell Companion to World Literature (under the general editorship of Ken Seigneurie, 5 vols. Scheduled for publication in 2019).
Denecke is one of the editors of The Norton Anthology of World Literature and The Norton Anthology of Western Literature (under the general editorship of Martin Puchner). With Zhang Longxi she is curating the book series East Asian Comparative Literature and Culture (Leiden: Brill).
Denecke has received grants from the Mellon Foundation, the ACLS, German Merit Scholarship Foundation, the DAAD, and the Japan Foundation. Before coming to BU she taught at Barnard College/Columbia University. She was a member of the Society of Fellows at Columbia University; a member of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton; a visiting professor at Dōshisha University (Kyoto); and is currently visiting professor at Korea University (Seoul). Most recently she received a "New Directions" Fellowship from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
She is currently working on projects exploring the relation of early Japanese literary culture to China and Korea, on translations of Sino-Korean poetry collections, on conceptual comparative approaches to East Asia's Sinographic Sphere, and on visions for the global transformation of the humanities.

Q: If calculation is negative it shows NULL, how to fix this? So I am validating count between source and target tables, if count is not the same it can go in positive or negative number, however when is negative it would show NULL. I used to know this but seems to me I have short memory. My code is below.
with cte as (
            select 'source' [object],count(contract_id) as total_count
            FROM [account].[dbo].[account] act
            left join [account].[dbo].[contract] cont
            on act.account_id = cont.account_id)
,cte1 as(
          select 'target' [object], count(contract_id) as total_count
          from [account].[dbo].[action]
          union
          select * from cte)
          select * from cte1
          union
          select 'diff' [object],
                 (select total_count from cte where [object] = 'source')
                -
                 (select total_count from cte where [object] = 'target')

Results is as follow
object  total_count
target  28402
source  28401
diff    NULL -- here it should be negative 1 (-1)

A: The problem is here:

(select total_count from cte where [object] = 'target')

There is not object = 'target' in the "cte" cte.
As the select returned null, the calculation also have to return null.
Try this: (changing cte for cte1)
with cte as (
            select 'source' [object],count(contract_id) as total_count
            FROM [account].[dbo].[account] act
            left join [account].[dbo].[contract] cont
            on act.account_id = cont.account_id)
,cte1 as(
          select 'target' [object], count(contract_id) as total_count
          from [account].[dbo].[action]
          union
          select * from cte)
          select * from cte1
          union
          select 'diff' [object],
                 (select total_count from cte where [object] = 'source')
                -
                 (select total_count from cte1 where [object] = 'target')

Q: Fade in burger menu on scroll for desktop I want the mobile hamburger menu to fade in on desktop screen sizes after scrolling down the page. I have this this working except when closing the mobile menu with the "x", The burger menu is then displaying on top of the regular menu at the top of the page.  I'd like it to revert to how it is on load.
Here is the test site:
https://josh-unger-4lts.squarespace.com
The code below is what I have tried so far:
<script>
 $(function() {
 $(window).on("scroll", function() {
 if($(window).scrollTop() > 100) {
   $(".Header.Header--top").addClass("change");
 } else {

$(".Header.Header--top").removeClass("change");
 }
 });
 });
 </script>

 <script>
$(function() {
 $(window).on("scroll", function() {
 if($(window).scrollTop() > 100) {
$(".Mobile.loaded").addClass("burger");
} else {

$(".Mobile.loaded").removeClass("burger");
 }
 });
  });
 </script>
 <script>
  $(document).ready(function(){
   $(".close-icon").click(function(){
  $(".Mobile.loaded").addClass("change");
  });
   });
    </script>

The CSS for the change and expand:
   .change {display:none;}

     .burger {display: block;
     position: fixed;
    top: 0px;
     left: 0px;
    z-index: 1001;
      }

      .expand {display:block !important;}

A: I looked at the code in your website and I found this snippet which you didn't mention in your question:
$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".Mobile-bar-menu").click(function(){
        $(".Mobile.loaded").addClass("expand");
    });
});

This (when the burger is clicked) adds the expand class to the .Mobile.loaded tag which forces showing it. This tag includes both the burger button and the mobile menu. So adding the expand class is necessary to show the mobile menu, but you're not removing the class after the mobile menu is closed.
So, what you need to do is to remove the expand class when the 'X' button is clicked:
$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".Mobile-overlay-close").click(function(){
        $(".Mobile.loaded").removeClass("expand");
    });
});

Note: this is a workaround, there are many things that should be restructured in your code.
Also in your post, change the .com3 in the website link to .com to make it accessible, and post all relevant code in the question so that others can benefit as well.

With Valentine's day approaching, it seems like a great time to talk about emotions. I'm currently taking Brene Brown's "Brave Leaders" course online and it is amazing in so many ways. I'm currently in a deep dive in courage which involves exploring how we show up in life. Is it with vulnerability, with empathy? It's a fascinating course, and I love Brene Brown so….there's that.
But, loving this course doesn't mean it's a walk in the park. As is the bulk of Brene's work, it's valuable to the degree you dig in, look at more than the easy response. You have to take a deep breath and get ready because often times what you discover has more than a lingering impact.
That's what happened to me this week. There was an exercise on "emotional literacy" to help you understand emotions you experience and what it looks like when you're moving through that emotion. Often times, what other people experience when you're in that space is only the surface emotion, and there is a whole lot more going on underneath the surface.
I'll let you play along…abbreviated version…just for fun. Read this list of emotions. Which ones can you recognize and describe as you're experiencing them.
Maybe you circled the ones you can identify with, that you know when you're in that emotion. Look at your words again. Notice any pattern? Here's what I noticed that smacked me in the face. The bulk of emotions I could identify with were what I would label as negative (and the list was twice as long).
So I looked at the list again, I must have missed some positive emotions. Nope. Being honest and truthful with myself there were more negative emotions I could identify with than positive.
That realization really made me go inside my head. If I'm honest with myself, my words were not a surprise to me. I'm a fairly serious person by nature. I'm working on lightening up, and there are moments of it, but I've been called serious more than once. But looking at the list as seeing more negative emotions, fear-based emotions, caused me to pause. Maybe you felt the something similar?
Instead of spiraling into a shame storm of, I'm not a good person, I made a choice. That choice was to identify the root of those emotions.
In my mind, looking at the root goes back a long ways. And I don't look at the root to place blame, but to understand it, and to move through it. Because here's the deal. Those emotions might show up, but they shouldn't be what comes up the majority of the time. They are coming from a place of fear, even if that fear is only subconscious, but it's fear nonetheless.
I choose to come from a place of love. To consciously view situations from a place of love. That doesn't mean I don't experience other emotions, like hurt, at times, but I can choose to shift the lens of how I view my situation so I don't stay in that space.
How about you? I'm not gonna lie, this is not easy work. But it's oh so valuable. It's part of being an authentic version of myself. It's being brave. My encouragement to you is to think about emotions you recognize…and pause. Reflect on where they come from. It's up to you to make the choice of how you want to experience a situation, the story you want to tell yourself about it. As for me, my journey is to change my lens to love. Myself, and others, it's what God would call us to do. Love others. Don't wait to figure it all out, start…right…now! Be brave my friends.

The Parola Tank Museum,
(Panssarimuseo) Hameenlinna, Finland
By Roy Stevenson
The Parola Tank Museum in Hameenlinna, 100 kilometres northeast of Helsinki, has a reputation as a tank enthusiast's dream, boasting over 50 tanks and armoured vehicles. I'm going to see if it is a tanker's nirvana. Can it be mentioned in the same breath as the holy grail of tank museums, Bovington?
The bus stops beside a deserted field out in the middle of nowhere and I walk down a steep driveway wondering if I've found the right place. I see a dense billowing cloud of smoke and hear the clatter and screech of metal treads from the bottom of the hill. I've found the tank museum and my timing is impeccable!
Turning the corner I see a rampaging Russian ATS-59 medium artillery tractor from the Cold War era rolling vigorously over a brown mid-sized modern car making loud crunching, cracking and popping sounds. A great start!
When the hapless car is well and truly flattened, the artillery tractor crew jump out laughing, pat each other on the back for a job well done, and adjourn to the museum restaurant—leaving the artillery tractor on top of the crushed vehicle.
The indoor tank museum was opened in 1961 and about two dozen tanks are crammed into its medium sized rooms. The front and turret armour of a Finnish (formerly Soviet) T-54 is cut away for training purposes, revealing its machinery. Soviet BA-10 and BA-20M Armoured Cars stand next to each other—booty captured from the Soviets that were used by the Finns for patrols during the Winter War and eventually used by the Army and Police forces until 1959.
The oldest tank in the museum, a Finnish Renault FT-1917, was acquired in 1919. Obsolete by the early 1930's, it was used as a fixed gun emplacement. Amongst the other tanks inside are a Soviet T-20, T-26, T-54, and a German Stu 49 Ausf G. A British Comet Mk I Model B stands against one wall, next to a Soviet T-34/85, and a Swedish Landsverk Anti II-AA-tank with Bofors 40mm auto-cannon.
Outside, dozens of tanks are lined up on three long green grass embankments, facing across to the museum buildings as if about to fire a salvo. Propped up on large concrete blocks the tanks represent an impressive collection—armour from Russia, France, Britain, U.S.A., Finland, Sweden, and Germany, plus the odd NATO discard.
There's ubiquitous M4A1 Sherman Tank, of course, and modern Soviet manufactured BMP-1 Armoured personnel carrier standing just outside the museum. Nearby is a Finnish AMV (Armoured Modular Vehicle) 8 x 8 AMOS (Advanced Mortar System) wheeled vehicle looking like it just rolled off the production line.
The Soviet tank collection is especially impressive: T-26, T-28, KV-1E, T-34, T-34/85, T-50, T-60, T-70, ISU-152, and sometimes more than one model of each. Most were captured from the Soviets during the Winter War or during the Second World War and used against their former owners. The Soviet ISU-152, for example, was one of two captured in Portinhoikka in June 1944. Other tanks captured by the Finns and used against their former owners include a Soviet KV-1, KV-1E, (both captured in 1942), a T-35/85 (captured in 1944), and a Soviet T-26C (captured during the Winter War). Some of these tanks still bear nasty gouges from direct hits on their front armour, front plate and turret.
The German Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. J has an interesting history. During the summer of 1944 Finland bought 15 of these tanks, and was supposed to have purchased more. However, Finland's reversal of allies by suddenly declaring war against Germany led to the Lapland War against them. Naturally the Germans ended further deliveries. Ironically, the 15 Panzerkampfwagen IVs were used against their German suppliers.
The two German Sturmgeschutz 40 Ausf. G were bought by Finland in 1943. They took part in the decisive battles in the Karelian Isthmus in 1944, destroying several enemy tanks during the summer battles. The sand-coloured Stu III is restored to its original colour scheme and markings.
At the top of the hill, the Finnish Armoured Train, stretches for 100 metres between two rows of tall thin pine trees. This awesome sight is the museum's centerpiece—I've been to a tank museum or three, and this is one of the most impressive displays I've seen. Modified after being captured from the Russians in 1918, it served as a mobile artillery platform during the Winter War. It's a fearsome sight, with gun carriages protected by thick steel plates and muzzles protruding from gun ports. Lethal looking turrets bristle with cannon and machine guns atop the cars. The camouflage completes the authentic effect.
The Parola tank museum is superb, all the more appealing because of its park-like setting with trees spread around the grounds. The museum's mission is "to gather and exhibit the history of the Finnish armoured and anti-tank defence forces and illustrate the development of armoured fighting vehicles from 1917 on". I'd say it delivers, and then some.

Dwayne Cameron, Ari Boyland, Antonia Prebble, Beth Allen & Miriama Smith on "The Tribe" (2001)
Episode #50 of "The Tribe's" third season finds the teens' lives growing more complicated, as they struggle to build a new, stable future for their city. The villainous Guardian, however, has no intention of letting that happen. He reappears, scaring Mallrats member, Tai-San who reveals the news to everyone, including Bray, played by Dwayne Cameron (Tyzonn, Overdrive). Bray is trying to settle into his role as the city's chief justice and finding the fugitive Guardian. He formulates a plan to capture him, but they will may need Trudy's baby to pull it off. Antonia Prebble (Clare, Mystic Force) continues in her role as teenaged mother, Trudy, who is happy to be back home bonding with her daughter, Brady. She panics when she thinks that the Guardian may be after her child but Bray assures her that they only intend to trick the Guardian, not actually use his niece as bait. The Guardian isn't the only person who reappears in the Mallrats' lives. Ari Boyland (Flynn, RPM) appears as KC, who is stunned by the return of Cloe, his young friend who was taken away after The Chosen took over the city. With them overthrown, she returns home much more mature than KC remembered. He finds himself instantly smitten and welcomes Cloe with food and gifts. She repays him with a kiss, which has him thrilled. Beth Allen (Vella, Overdrive) stars as Amber, one of the Mallrats' leaders. She notices the return of Jack, who tries to make a quick exit before anyone sees him. Amber convinces her old friend to come into the mall and catch up before making a decision about leaving forever, just because his girlfriend Ellie has moved on with another boy. Amber comforts Jack as he deals with his feelings. Miriama Smith (Elsa, Dino Thunder) appears as Moz, the leader of the tribe known as the Mosquitos. Moz gets called in to see city leader, Ebony, who orders her to use her tribe to find The Guardian before he can get away. Moz tries to locate him but comes back to Ebony empty-handed. Ebony is less than thrilled when Moz refuses to do any more of her dirty work without payment.

Most people who have to drive on cold, icy roads know what a hassle it can be. The last thing they want to deal with is problems with their car, especially if the problems can be prevented. Here are a few tips to help you keep your car in good shape during the winter months.
Have a mechanic thoroughly review your car at a time and place that is convenient for you. This is going to be the best step to prevent you from being stranded on the side of the road during the coldest months of the year. The mechanic should change the oil and do a complete review of the engine, brakes, and tires. Filters can be changed to keep your car in the best condition possible, like air dog fuel filters. This will also help to make your car as fuel efficient as possible.
Keep an eye on all of the fluid levels in your vehicle. One important thing is to check the antifreeze levels in the engine. Consult with the owner's manual of your vehicle, but a general rule of thumb is that you normally want a 50-50 ratio of water with coolant during warm weather and a 60-40 ratio during the winter months.
In especially cold areas, people have problems with the battery in their vehicle not functioning. The first thing you want to do is make sure that your battery has enough charge. An easy way to do this is to turn on the headlights of your vehicle before you start the engine. Next, turn the engine on. If you see that the lights get brighter, this is an indication that the battery may be dying. Your mechanic could also do a voltage test when your car is being reviewed at the mechanic's shop.
Make sure that your tires are in good condition. It may be a good idea for you to invest in winter tires if you live in an area where there is a lot of snow and ice. Make sure you have a spare and all of the tools needed to change a tire.

Saudi economy to grow strongly in the fourth quarter, to rise 7.3% in 2022: Capital Economics
Some 9.76mln barrels per day were produced in October, broadly in line with pre-virus levels of output, analysts at the London-based economic consultancy firm said

Saudi Arabia is set to experience strong economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2021, thanks to oil production hitting its highest level since April 2020, according to a report from Capital Economics.
Some 9.76 million barrels per day were produced in October, broadly in line with pre-virus levels of output, analysts at the London-based economic consultancy firm said.
Although the whole economy Purchase Manager Index did edge down to 57.7 points in October, there seems to have been a broad-based rise in output from all sectors in the third quarter, which is likely to extend into the fourth quarter.
Growth in local deliveries of cement – a proxy for construction activity – picked up in October.
October point of sales transactions data were also very strong, although this appears to have eased a touch in early November.
"Overall, we think that the Saudi economy will have expanded by 2.5 percent over this year as a whole," the report said.
Growth is expected to accelerate to 7.3 percent in 2022 as oil production is set to increase under an agreement reached by the The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, together known as OPEC+.
This growth is much stronger than the consensus currently anticipates, Capital Economics analysts noted in the report.

Marshmello made waves the other day when the video for his newest track "Ritual" was uploaded. In it, toward the end, Marshmello ushered a noticeably distraught-looking deadmau5 (albeit with 3 ears) to join in his dance party and have some fun. Now, the original video has been taken down – when searching for it, it just comes up at 'video has been made private' – following some harsh words from Joel on Twitter, and in its place is another video with the scene removed.
There are a bunch of reasons we can think of as to why this decision was made, not least of all is legal retribution from Joel – "using his likeness" without his permission, for instance. Or it could just be that someone didn't catch it in the final edit and it went through anyway? Regardless, the tone at the end of the video is now infinitely more positive than petty, which is only a good thing.
Unfortunately for Marshmello, he's now lost over 2 million plays from the original video.
The original video is still available on OWSLA's page – see mau5 at 3:25.
it's weird how @deadmau5 is getting hate when @marshmellomusic is being a solipsistic attention whore using joel to market himself.
if you don't know by now that pop EDM these days is a popularity contest and has very little to do with music, then i can't really help you.

Soil erosion and siltation have always been a part of a natural environmental process. The actions of man have accelerated this process through the use and misuse of land.
As America grew, so did the demands on her bountiful resources. During the 1930's, the culmination of several factors caused the development of a severe erosion problem in the United States. These factors, which included overworking of the soil, poor land use practices and an extended period of drought, were the cause of the "Dust Bowl", a term used to describe the huge storms that carried sediment from the Great Plains all the way to the east coast. One particular storm was so severe, dust was scattered on the decks of ships 200 miles out to sea and drove grit into the teeth of people in New York City. It also blotted out the sun in Washington, DC. During the 1930's over 100 million acres of farmland were destroyed.
President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Soil Conservation Act in 1935, heralding the era of soil conservation in America. The President also called for states to implement this program by organizing soil conservation districts.
The first organized effort to promote soil conservation in Thomas County began in 1937 with Demonstration Project #5.
This project was started ten miles south of Colby and covered two legal townships. Terracing, contour farming, cropping systems, and pasture management were the primary project programs. Many of the terraces constructed during this demonstration project are still functioning and in use today. The project was discontinued in 1941.
In 1937 the State Legislature authorized the establishment of Conservation Districts to conform with county boundaries. In 1943, the voters of Thomas County approved organization of the Thomas County Soil Conservation District, which was the twenty-second district approved in Kansas. The first meeting was held in October 1943. In 1972, the State Legislature broadened the focus of the districts by changing the prior designation of "soil conservation district" to "conservation district." The major impact of this change was the shift in responsibility from solely soil conservation, to the conservation of all natural resources.

Ellie Will Have a Companion in the Last of Us Part II, but Naughty Dog Won't Say If It's Joel
Bradley RussellTuesday, July 10, 2018
Despite The Last of Us Part 2 being a little under a year away, we pretty much only know two things: it's going to be depressing, and that we'll only be playing as Ellie this time around. But that doesn't mean she's going to tough it out alone. In fact, director Neil Druckmann has confirmed that Ellie will have someone in tow with her throughout the game, but he's playing coy on whether it's a certain grizzled father-figure.
The twosome of Joel and Ellie in the original The Last of Us fast became one of the most iconic duos in PlayStation history, with their relationship getting stronger and stronger as the game progressed. But if Ellie's taking the lead this time, where's Joel? Druckmann is choosing his words very carefully, as you can see below:
"Well, so, Ellie used to be an NPC, but she's the protagonist in this story, so the player is controlling Ellie. Umm, it's safe to say with the game that we made in the past that there will be some NPC with you in this story, even though we're not showing [the NPC] in this demo."
Naughty Dog obscuring Ellie's new (or old) partner, coupled with Druckmann's seemingly spoiler-conscious stuttering, makes me think that Joel is kicking the bucket early on in the game and someone else is stepping up for swimming lesson and whistling duties. Say it ain't so! Still, at least we're getting someone along with the ride, be it Joel or another person entirely. But, seriously Naughty Dog: let is be Joel. My heart can't take anymore melancholy and pain.

Rolando Guillermo Serrano (Guachipas,Provincia de Salta; 8 de abril de 1955) más conocido como Roly Serrano, es un actor de cine, teatro y televisión, y titiritero argentino.

Biografía

Nació en Guachipas,
un pueblito de unos 600 habitantes
a 115 km al sur de la capital de la provincia de Salta.
A los cinco meses fue abandonado por su madre (de apellido Rodríguez).
Fue llevado a la ciudad de Salta, donde pasó una infancia difícil ya que entre los 7 y 13 años vivió con unos tíos que lo maltrataban:

En 1968, a los 13 años de edad, se escapó de esa casa, y pasó a vivir en la calle y en lugares de paso, donde varias personas lo ayudaron. Contó que nadie daba un peso por él, pero que gracias al arte actoral, comenzó a desarrollar una faceta que tenía escondida hace mucho. Su vida dio un vuelco cuando, haciéndose cargo de su vocación, se juntó con grupos artísticos y comenzó a estudiar teatro: «Cuando vivía en la calle pensaba que convertirme en actor era la posibilidad de ser otro, de transportarme. En la calle tenés que ser un camaleón y jugar con las personalidades porque eso te puede salvar la vida. Después descubrí que el juego actoral no es más que eso», afirmó en una entrevista.

En 1976, el servicio militar obligatorio lo llevó a vivir en Córdoba. Cuando salió ―en plena dictadura militar― comenzó a militar en el prohibido Partido Comunista.

En 1981 se mudó desde Córdoba a Buenos Aires, donde estudió teatro, becado por Rubens Correa en su escuela La Barraca. También trabajó como chofer.
Ese mismo año comenzó el grupo Teatro Abierto, en el que trabajó como maquinista.
«Me vi los ensayos de todas las obras. Ese fue el curso más groso de teatro que hice».

Con Rubens Correa, Tito Cossa y Diego Peretti refundaron el Teatro del Pueblo.

Q: XStream double underscores and character escaping I'm using XStream 1.4.9 to create XML from POJO classes. By default XStream escapes special characters like '>', '<' etc. Additionally it doubles underscore characters in element and attribute names. I need to disable this behaviour.
I was able to get rid of double underscores basing on this solution:
XStream and underscores
Disabling character escaping works with this solution:
How can I disable unnecessary escaping in XStream?
But I'm struggling with combining these approaches to achieve both goals in the same time.
I created custom Writer class ommiting character escaping:
public class NoEscapeWriter extends PrettyPrintWriter {

    public NoEscapeWriter(Writer writer) {
        super(writer);
    }

    @Override
    protected void writeText(QuickWriter writer, String text) {
        writer.write(text);
    }
}

I implemented class extending DomDriver overriding createWriter() method and injecting XmlFriendlyNameCoder to its super class:
public class CustomDriver extends DomDriver {

        public CustomDriver() {
            super("UTF-8", new XmlFriendlyNameCoder("_-", "_"));
        }

        @Override
        public HierarchicalStreamWriter createWriter(Writer out) {
            return new NoEscapeWriter(out);
        }
}

And I'm generating XML with XStream like this:
XStream xStream = new XStream(new CustomDriver());
xStream.processAnnotations(RootElement.class);
final String s = xStream.toXML(root);

Although it ommits character escaping as expected, it still generates output with double underscores like this:
<ROOT>
    <TEST__ID><![CDATA[]]></TEST__ID>
    <MULTIPLE__PART__NAME><![CDATA[]]></MULTIPLE__PART__NAME>
</ROOT>

I tried to extend DomDriver to inject XmlFriendlyNameCoder("-", "") to ommit double underscore problem and  overriding createWriter() method to disable character escaping


The same Toledo copper who murdered a mentally ill woman has now hit a theft suspect with her police cruiser. Just imagine if one of us mundanes hit a cop with their car. They would surely have been charged with a crime. Probably vehicular manslaughter or something similar.
Yet, the police felt it necessary to re-iterate that this officer was not being punished for her actions. Once again, as long as you are a cop, regular laws don't apply to you. People routinely get charged to the fullest extent possible if they even attempt to defend themselves from this exalted, blue-costumed aggression.

The number of cranes in the Sydney skyline has dropped since its peak in 2017, having a major influence on the level of confidence in the NSW economy.
The CBD and surrounding inner suburbs have 106 (34 per cent) of the installed cranes, the eastern suburbs have 13 (4 per cent), the north has 107 (34 per cent), the south has 27 (9 per cent), the west has 57 (18 per cent).
Construction levels are highest in the CBD (AAP Image/Joel Carrett).
Every crane in the sky is sign of confidence in the future of Sydney.
With counting cranes in China a little complex, Sydney still sits second behind the longtime undisputed global leader for tower cranes in the Middle East. On one recent count Dubai proudly had 1182 cranes, with their build it and they will come philosophy.
Residential cranes in Sydney account for 74 per cent of all cranes in Sydney, and 44 per cent of residential cranes nationally.
Currently Sydney has 42 per cent of all cranes erected nationally, while Melbourne contributed 30 per cent and Brisbane 8 per cent. Sydney's dominance has fallen slightly from the high of 52 per cent in 2017.
In the first quarter of 2019 there were 735 cranes counted across Australia, with 530 for residential projects and 205 non-residential developments, including the non-residential sector of offices, transportation, hotels, education, health and retail.
Our construction spurt has helped NSW maintained the lowest unemployment rate in the nation at 3.9 per cent.
But one indicative economic indicator suggests property industry jobs are slowing. According to the jobs website Seek.com.au construction industry job advertisements are 14 per cent lower than this time last year, while real estate jobs are down 15 per cent and design and architecture jobs down 20 per cent.
All those tradies in high visibility vests — buying their pies at lunchtime, spending up on tools, filling up their utes with fuel and buying their own first homes — are underpinning NSW's economic progress.

Friends of Basse > Executive Meeting Minutes - April 17, 2011
Executive Meeting Minutes - April 17, 2011
Date: Sunday April 17, 2011; 4pm (Gambian time)
Momodou B. Krubally (MB)
Alh. Mamadou Sellou Jallow
Pa Samba Johm
Ousainou Krubally
Wuyeh Yorro Sanyang
Alh. Saibo Drammeh
Cherno B. Jallow
Acting Chairman: MB Krubally
Guest Secretary: Cherno B. Jallow
The meeting took up the resignation request of Basse Association's current president Pa M.L. Joof. He had decided to step down from his post due to personal reasons. The Executive acceded to his request. As per the constitution of the Basse Association, Inc., the Vice-President would naturally take over. Alhaji Mamadou Sellou Jallow has agreed to replace Mr. Joof. He will be the new president. (A release will be sent out to the general membership to that effect.)
Mr. Joof would be contacted for an official resignation letter. Additionally, the new president would contact some inactive executive members for better execution of duties and for more participation in the Association's activities.
Alh. Sellou said his initial plan would be for a more proactive and less bureaucratic organization. He said he wanted to "make things simple."
Other executive members at the meeting each took the time to assess themselves in their respective capacities. Pa Samba Johm said he wished he had done more than he had in his role as PRO. He said his available time had been limited due to the fact that he belongs to several other organizations in his home state of Michigan, USA. But he said he would do better this time, and was looking forward to a wonderful working relationship with the new president.
The Fundraising Officer Alh. Saibo Drammeh lamented that he had not been able so far to bring all his ideas into fruition. He said he had big dreams and high hopes for the Basse Association. He regretted that he had not been able to translate much of them into action. He promised to change course in his membership-recruitment strategies and fundraising ideas. He said he was looking forward to organize a Basse Reunion in Dusseldorf, Germany.
The meeting concurred that the Secretary General MB Krubally and his team had been doing a wonderful job. Wuyeh Yorro Sanyang urged for a faster delivery of meeting minutes. The Sports and Cultural Affairs Officer Ousainou Krubally also received high marks for good performance.
Ousainou told the meeting that the Basse Divisional team was getting prepared for the national league, and he was soliciting funds from the Basse Association to enable the regional team meet some of its financial undertakings. He said the Central Government, through its sporting body, had promised to provide some financial support, but he was nonetheless seeking some assistance for the team.
Ousainou also relayed a message from the Basse central mosque elders by way of BA Project Manager Dawda Sankareh that they needed some financial help to repair the leaking in the roof of the mosque. The roof has been leaking year after year; when it rains, some water seep through the roof and into the mosque house. The elders are working towards a tiled roof instead.
To that effect, Alh. Sellou has been able to raise about 2,500 euros from within his community in Deventer, The Netherlands. Ousainou Krubally has raised about 400 euros, too. The Basse Association has, with immediate effect, started a fundraising campaign for the Basse central mosque. Wuyeh Yorro Sanyang has volunteered to collect donations from the BA membership and other Basserians in the US. He could be contacted on 808-368-6431 and at: sanyangk@yahoo.com
By May 15, 2011, and before the rains start in earnest, the funds are expected to be released to the Basse central mosque committee. (A note to prospective donors.)
Next Meeting Dates
Executive: May 15, 2011
General: June 5, 2011

Morì nel campo di concentramento di Auschwitz.

Biografia
 Sissel era figlia di Schulim Vogelmann e di Anna Disegni, insegnante; viene chiamata con i nomi delle nonne. Arrestata insieme al padre e alla madre il 20 dicembre 1943 a Sondrio, mentre tentavano di rifugiarsi in Svizzera, venne dapprima detenuta in un campo d'internamento nei pressi di Firenze e poi nel Carcere di San Vittore di MilanoDa qui, il 30 gennaio 1944 fu caricata insieme ai genitori sul convoglio numero 6 partito dal binario 21 della Stazione di Milano e deportata nel campo di sterminio di Auschwitz, dove morì nella camera a gas a 8 anni, il giorno stesso del suo arrivo, il 6 febbraio 1944. Con lei morì anche la madre; a salvarsi fu suo padre, unico ebreo italiano a sopravvivere grazie alla lista di Oskar Schindler.

Cultura di massa
La storia di Sissel (che prende il nome di Alba nel libro ha ispirato La foto sulla spiaggia ("L'idea del romanzo mi è venuta pensando a Sissel Vogelmann, una bambina morta ad Auschwitz. I suoi occhi si spensero il 6 febbraio 1944 insieme a quelli della madre, Anna Disegni"), romanzo scritto da Roberto Riccardi, generale dell'Arma dei Carabinieri, che immagina l'adolescenza che Sissel avrebbe potuto avere se fosse rimasta in vita. Sulla copertina appare Sissel, in una foto sulla spiaggia, all'età di 4 anni
Il fratellastro Daniel le dedica il volume Cinque piccole poesie per Sissel pubblicato da La Giuntina di Firenze nel 1990. Le poesie vengono tradotte in inglese da Lynne Sharon Schwartz e inserite all'interno di Second Generation Voices: Reflections by Children of Holocaust Survivors and Perpetrators di Alan L. Berger e Naomi Berger, Syracuse/New York 2001.

A Sissel Vogelmann è dedicato il contenuto speciale Binario 21 dell'opera multimediale Destinazione Auschwitz - viaggio nella fabbrica dello steriminio, DVD e libro, prodotta in collaborazione con l'Associazione Figli della Shoah e della "Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education.Remambrance and Research". Il cortometraggio basato sulla testimonianza di Liliana Segre, che all'epoca della sua deportazione era una ragazzina di solo tredici anni, è un atto di accusa per l'infanzia e l'adolescenza rubata, a milioni di bambini, dal sistema criminale nazifascista. L'inizio dei titoli di coda del cronometraggio recita: «In memoria di Sissel Vogelmann (1935-1944), e di tutti gl innocenti che non sono mai tornati dai campi di sterminio».

Once you no longer have a reliable weekly income, you need to set up a strict budget. Cut out any expenses that are unnecessary. Overhaul your entire budget to save the most amount of money possible. You may be surprised at how much you can save by switching television services or cell phone plans. Buy basic groceries instead of more expensive processed meals. Stick to your budget, and you will feel some relief.
If you are having difficulty getting the money you deserve from your employer, then workers compensation lawyers will be a big help. You must hire one as soon as possible. Waiting too long would not work in your favor. The sooner you have someone on your case, the faster you can get the money you deserve.
Medical bills are expensive, but don't let that hold you back from seeking medical attention. If it is proven that your injury is on behalf of the employer, you won't need to worry about the medical costs. Seek medical attention as needed, and get specific pain and injuries clearly documented to work in your favor.
If you don't have enough money to cover basic expenses, then you need to apply for assistance. It is designed to help people that are genuinely unable to work and cannot afford bills. The assistance will likely be temporary until you start getting the worker's compensation payments that you deserve.
Refinancing is important once you are not able to work from an on-job injury. Lower interest rates will help you afford your bills, and keep you from losing your car, home or both.
Affording life after an injury is going to be a struggle until you start getting the money you deserve from your employer. Worker's compensation can take time to process, but you will need to work on saving as much as possible while waiting.

Nino Tempo
Cicada, West Hollywood
Friday, Jan.6
By Tony Gleske
The man at the corner table rested his hands on his canes and his face grew peaceful. He was hearing the sound of Nino Tempo's tenor saxophone, bawdy but serene - "the last of the children of Lester Young," as the man in the corner, Ahmet Ertegun, calls him.
The tune being played was "Deep Purple," taken at a cooking, none-of-this-lyrical-stuff tempo. Tonight it was a steamer that seemed to mock the big hit Tempo and his sister, the singer April Stevens, had enjoyed with their preformance of it back in 1963, when Ertegun, now chairman of Atlantic Records, helped them produce the track on it that won a Grammy.
Three decades later, the rhythm section of Mike Lang on piano, Brian Bromberg on bass and Terry Lynn Carrington on drums provided an authoritative rumble on which Tempo's playing swept urgently by, as if carried on the wheels of a subway train. Ertegun nodded his head contently, like the Godfather in his orange grove.
The Tempo discourse was skillfully regulated yet full of reasonable honest feeling, and Conti Candoli, a sideman who knows how to make a leader shine, took care not to outdo this one in the course of his own trumpet work. Greatness will not be denied, however; Count scorched the scenery anyway.
This did not fluster Tempo, who displayed a breadth of onventive resource whether he was playing a boppish original like "Little Mike's Blues" or a wistful ballad like "Sweet and Lovely."
And all night long, he stayed right in there with the awesome Candoli, a fellow son of Sicily. You gotta give him that. He's got big ears and a big heart.
In his very beautiful solo on "Getting Sentimental Over You," dedicated to the late Shorty Rogers, he brought back the years when he used to jam with Rogers and Candoli, back in the days when he worked the studios in bands led by Don Costa, backing people such as Frank Sinatra or Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme.
Ertegun, who's recovering from surgery after his pelvis was injured in a fall, blew him a kiss after that one.
Ertegun laughed when asked if he had been sent down to line produce after the recent shakeup at Warner Music Group. "I'm still the chairman of Atlantic Records," he said, "no matter what you may have read.
"This is something I've done all along, whenever the opportunity presents itself," he said.
Friday night he was present to co-produce a recording of the Tempo comeback as part of a jazz resurgence that Ertegun is personally leading at the label he helped found.
The disc has many in its corner, for among those applauding or crying "Nino! Nino!" were producer Howard W. Koch, who hired Tempo way back when he was a child film actor; songwriters Mike Stoller and Jeff Barry, author of "Be My Baby"; and Corky hale, the harpist who's married to Stoller.

Q: How to add Data to SQLite offline database table and display it on listView Xamarin I am doing a Weather app project in Xamarin.Forms. After successfully adding users to the database and validating the existing ones on "log in", now I am struggling with adding a town(with 3 variables) inside SQLite database and then displaying the information in ListView on a content page.
The problem is that when I click the "weather" button there is nothing displayed in the ListView and also the second catch is triggered - Temp = "Unable to get Weather";
Let's begin with my Model for the Town/s:
public class Town
{
    [PrimaryKey]
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public string TownName { get; set; }
    public string Temp { get; set; }
    public string searchTime { get; set; }

    public Town() { }
}

After creating this simple class, I am implementing a controller class for taking care of the Town data:
SQLiteConnection database;

    public SearchHistoryDataController()
    {

        database = DependencyService.Get<ISQLite>().GetConnection();

        database.CreateTable<Town>();

    }

    IEnumerable<Town> orderItemCollection;
    public IEnumerable<Town> OrderItemCollection
    {
        get
        {
            if (orderItemCollection == null)
                orderItemCollection = GetTowns();
            return orderItemCollection;
        }
    }

    public IEnumerable<Town> GetTowns()
    {
        // Changing the database table items as ObservableCollection
        var table = (from i in database.Table<Town>() select i);
        ObservableCollection<Town> TownList = new ObservableCollection<Town>();
        foreach (var town in table)
        {
            TownList.Add(new Town()
            {
                ID = town.ID,
                TownName = town.TownName,
                Temp = town.Temp,
                searchTime = town.searchTime
            });
        }
        return TownList;
    }

    public Town GetTown(int id)
    {

        return database.Table<Town>().FirstOrDefault(t => t.ID == id);

    }

    public void DeleteTown(int id)
    {

        database.Delete<Town>(id);

    }

    public string AddTown(Town town)
    {
        var data = database.Table<Town>();
        var d1 = data.Where(x => x.TownName == town.TownName && x.searchTime == town.searchTime).FirstOrDefault();

        if (d1 == null)
        {

            database.Insert(town);

            return "Successfully Added";

        }
        else
        {
            return "Invalid Town id Exist";
        }
    }

From here the last two things are:
Creating a Town, insert some information, storing the Town in the database and this is done in command whenever the "Show weather" button is clicked. There is the code:
                 //Get weather information for the Weather view
            Temp = $"{weatherRoot?.MainWeather?.Temperature ?? 0}°C";
            Condition = $"{weatherRoot?.Weather?[0]?.Description ?? string.Empty}";
            Name = $"{weatherRoot.Name}, {weatherRoot.System.Country}";
            Humidity = $"{weatherRoot.MainWeather.Humidity}%";
            Pressure = $"{weatherRoot.MainWeather.Pressure} hpa";
            Clouds = $"{weatherRoot.Clouds.CloudinessPercent}%";
            Wind = $"{weatherRoot.Wind.Speed} m/s";

            town.TownName = $"{weatherRoot.Name}";
            town.Temp = Temp;
            town.searchTime = DateTime.Parse(weatherRoot.Date).ToLocalTime().ToString("g");;

            //history database push
            try
            {
                SearchHistoryDataController searchHistoryDataController = new SearchHistoryDataController();
                var returnvalue = searchHistoryDataController.AddTown(town);

                if (returnvalue == "Sucessfully Added")
                {

                    Console.WriteLine("Success");

                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Fail");
                }
            }
            catch (Exception es)
            {
                Debug.WriteLine(es.Message);
            }

            await TextToSpeech.SpeakAsync(Temp + " " + Condition);
            IsBusy = false;

        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Temp = "Unable to get Weather";
            Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message);
        }
        finally
        {
            IsBusy = false;
        }
    }

The final - XAML file which is structured like this:
 <Grid>
        <Image HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" Aspect="AspectFill" Source="gradientBack.png"/>
        <StackLayout Padding="10" Spacing="10">

The idea is to automatically update the History list when the "weather" button is clicked. The history will store the name of the town in the text field, the exact time and also the temperature.
The list won't be used for anything else and it is a tab.
Thank you very much!

A: I did solve the problem. First issue was with this line: town.searchTime = DateTime.Parse(weatherRoot.Date).ToLocalTime().ToString("g");
It was causing the command to fail because this date variable wasn't accessible. I fixed it with: town.searchTime = DateTime.Now.ToString();
Next - how to display data saved in the SQLite database:
Inserting Town into the database and then polling it out and store it under TownList:
town.TownName = $"{weatherRoot.Name}";
                town.Temp = Temp;
                town.searchTime = DateTime.Now.ToString();

                //history database push
                try
                {
                    var returnvalue = searchHistoryDataController.AddTown(town);

                    if (returnvalue == "Sucessfully Added")
                    {

                        Console.WriteLine("Success");
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Fail");
                    }
                }
                catch (Exception es)
                {
                    Debug.WriteLine(es.Message);
                }

                TownList = searchHistoryDataController.OrderItemCollection;

Last but not least the XAML and the SearchHistoryController:
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding TownList}"
              x:Name="ListViewTide">
                <ListView.SeparatorColor>
                    <OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="Color" iOS="Transparent"/>
                </ListView.SeparatorColor>
                <ListView.ItemTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <ViewCell>
                            <Frame BackgroundColor="White" BorderColor="#F0F0F0" Padding="5" Margin="0,0,0,5" HasShadow="False">
                                <Grid HeightRequest="50" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="Start">
                                    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                                        <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                                        <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
                                        <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                                    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                                    <Label Text="{Binding TownName}" TextColor="#757575" FontSize="13" VerticalOptions="Center" Margin="20,0"/>
                                    <Label Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding searchTime}" TextColor="Black" FontSize="10" FontAttributes="None" HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="Center"/>
                                    <StackLayout Grid.Column="2" Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="20,0" HorizontalOptions="End" VerticalOptions="Center">
                                        <Label Text="{Binding Temp}" TextColor="Black" FontSize="25" FontAttributes="Bold" VerticalOptions="Center"/>
                                    </StackLayout>
                                </Grid>
                            </Frame>
                        </ViewCell>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </ListView.ItemTemplate>
            </ListView>

The method for pulling the info from SQL to List:
 IEnumerable<Town> orderItemCollection;
        public IEnumerable<Town> OrderItemCollection
        {
            get
            {
                if (orderItemCollection == null)
                    orderItemCollection = GetTowns();
                return orderItemCollection;
            }
        }

        public IEnumerable<Town> GetTowns()
        {
            // Changing the database table items as ObservableCollection
            var table = (from i in database.Table<Town>() select i);
            ObservableCollection<Town> TownList = new ObservableCollection<Town>();
            foreach (var town in table)
            {
                TownList.Add(new Town()
                {
                    ID = town.ID,
                    TownName = town.TownName,
                    Temp = town.Temp,
                    searchTime = town.searchTime
                });
            }
            return TownList;
        }

And just to remind everyone that the Model for your object, if it will be stored in SQL, always include AutoIncrement :
[PrimaryKey, AutoIncrement]
        public int ID { get; set; }

Hope this will help someone. :)

Apple thinking about gaming on the Apple TV
If you have an iPad, you'd probably agree with me when I say that there have been plenty of times where I've wished that I could AirPlay an application or a game to the Apple TV.
We know that the current process lacks the power to AirPlay games to the television. We talked with Dave Frampton, developer of the popular Chopper 2, back in November, and he pointed out that bandwidth and compression rates required to pull off an AirPlay based game stream to the Apple TV just wasn't possible yet.
But that doesn't mean that Apple isn't thinking about bringing apps to the Apple TV in some capacity. Apple's a gaming company, whether they like it or not, and the Apple TV is the perfect delivery mechanism. Engadget has found references to gaming on the Apple TV in the latest iOS 4.3 beta. We're not really surprised by their findings—games on the Apple TV are inevitable. It's Engadget's opinion that the Apple TV could be used to stream games much like the OnLive service that's piqued our interest.
We're not sure how this would work, but it's a great idea. Imagine being able to lug your Apple TV on the road with you, and still be able to access your games from anywhere with an internet connection? It sure would put that new Apple datacenter in North Carolina to the test.

Aura sensing and reading systems have become increasingly sophisticated and easy to use. They're also very sensitive and provide results that a skilled aura reader can interpret. One such system is the aura imaging system. Unlike traditional aura reading cameras and videos that only rely on visual input, the aura imaging system relies on hand sensor input as well.
What are the Components of an Aura Imaging System?
Camera – The camera is a very important component of the system even though the aura imaging system will take sensory input from the hand sensor as well. The camera takes the visual input and captures the image of a person's portrait in real-time. If you want to get ideal results, you should sit in front of the camera while you use the hand sensor to get the complete reading.
Hand Sensor – The hand sensor is an important aspect of the system because it converts data collected from your hand into a digital form that the software and proprietary algorithms can understand and use. You need to place your hand on the sensor with your fingers positioned at the correct points. The sensitive points on the machine will read your data and direct the data to the computer.
Aura Reading Software – Software is absolutely essential to take the data from both the camera and the hand sensor and make it understandable. The software that comes with these systems don't just translate the input, but also provide additional information and a preliminary analysis of the aura as well. This even assists people who don't know how to read and interpret auras to better understand the information and prevent aura reading mistakes.
While an aura imaging system can help you learn about auras, having a thorough understanding of what aura colors mean helps one use this system professionally. As mentioned above, the software will provide a preliminary analysis and include tables and charts. An aura reader can read these tables and compiled information to provide readings of the state of the aura.
Of course, not all aura imaging systems are made equal. Some human aura cameras have videos and tutorials on how to use the system. You can watch these videos and compare different devices to determine which one is most suitable for your purpose. Always purchase the system from a reliable manufacturer. They often have a well-designed website, active blog, informative content and guides, and good customer service that will respond quickly and answer any questions you might have.
As you can see, this system is very powerful but straightforward to use. If you want to provide aura readings and deliver informative results to your clients, you should consider purchasing this system.

Tom Dunning lost his family home to a house fire this week, eight weeks after his wife's death
WATCH: Man's reaction to donations after triple tragedy
Paige Ashby, paige.ashby@apn.com.au, Rob Williams, rob.williams@qt.com.au
14th May 2020 10:05 AM | Updated: 6:29 PM
UPDATE: More than $20,000 has been raised for Tom Dunning as news of his unfortunate loss spread across social media.
Mr Dunning was brought to tears when he was told how much had already been raised by the community.
He spent the day with friends and family sifting through the rubble of his home to find his late wife's ashes and any other sentimental items that might still be intact.
They managed to find one of Lorraine's small urns, which he had intended to put in the garden she loved so much.
The family will continue to post updates on the 'Help for Tom Dunning' Facebook donation page with what help is needed.

EARLIER: IN a cruel twist of fate, a much-loved and well-known man from the Somerset region has lost his family home of more than 60 years after it was engulfed in flames just weeks after losing his wife.
Tom Dunning, 72, lost his wife Lorraine eight weeks ago. On the day he retrieved her ashes, he found out he was now living with advanced prostate cancer.
Tom Dunning lost his Dundas home to fire on Tuesday afternoon.
On Tuesday afternoon while he was out running errands, he received a phone call from his neighbour Renae Andrew to say his Dundas home was on fire.
"Renae was on the phone screaming as she was running ... she said 'your house is on fire'," Mr Dunning said.
"I could not believe when she said that house was on fire. It just knocked me for six.
"I was ten years of age when Mum and Dad bought that place."
When he returned home, he was met with smouldering rubble and a team of firefighters.
Flames engulfed the home of 74-year-old Tom Dunning on Tuesday afternoon. Contributed
Nothing was able to be salvaged. He lost his clothes, his wallet, family photos, his wife's antiques and the ashes of his late wife, Lorraine.
"Lorraine used to do the patch work quilting. There we big cupboards in there, they were packed full of them beautiful quilts with the patch work. She had done all that," he said.
"I don't know what she'd think if she was still alive."
His neighbour Renae had raced down to the home and tried to get inside to retrieve Lorraine's ashes, but she was met with flames at the door.
Mr Dunning has spent most of today with friends and family combing through the debris in an attempt to find them.
Lorraine had dementia and died after suffering a severe bladder infection.
"This year has been so rugged, from the 6th of January on, she became a very sick person and she passed away I think it was the 18th of March," he said.
"We had a good life, we had a really good life, you know? She was a person that was always there to help me and I always tried to help her. We were always there to support each other.
"I just miss her so terribly."
Fortunately, his pet cat Bobby managed to escape the blaze and was found at the nearby creek once the commotion was over.
Mr Dunning is affectionately known in the community as Pop. He has delivered hay across the region and further afield for years.
The 72-year-old is not sure what's next in his steps to rebuild and recover. He said he plans to pull out an old caravan and continue living on his land, but he doesn't have much left.
The land he lives on will need to be cleared and new power lines installed.

The QFT in South Belfast has been working with three over 60's community groups in a special project based on their memories of cinema and the films they have seen over the last 50 years, supported by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland's pioneering, Arts & Older People Programme.
When you get a group of older people together, add some art, musical memories, a few costumes and props, then mix it up by getting them to pose, recreating their favourite album covers, while singing along to some old standards from the 50', 60' and 70's that's when the magic starts in 'A Little Of What You Fancy'.


A special grand jury on Thursday, Oct. 20, 2016 declined to act on allegations against former Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) Secretary Spencer Collier (pictured).
MONTGOMERY –This statement is being issued because substantial information related to the Attorney General's investigation has been put in the public domain.
On Feb. 17, Gov. Robert Bentley placed then-ALEA Secretary Spencer Collier on sick leave for allegedly disobeying his instructions regarding Collier's interaction with State prosecutors. Shortly after the Governor's action, ALEA initiated a broad internal inquiry into Collier's conduct as ALEA Secretary.
On March 22, Governor Bentley fired Collier, stating publicly that he relied on the ALEA inquiry in doing so. Governor Bentley and ALEA issued public statements that the results of the ALEA investigation indicated possible "misuse of state funds" and were being referred to the Office of Attorney General Luther Strange. That day, the Office of the Attorney General received the complaint and other information from ALEA.
To determine the facts with certainty, the Special Prosecutions Division of the Attorney General's Office conducted a complete investigation of the ALEA allegations against Collier. For efficiency, and to ensure public confidence in the investigation, all of the information from ALEA was presented to the Montgomery County Special Grand Jury. Numerous witnesses, including senior ALEA leadership, were called to testify before the Special Grand Jury.
The investigation conducted by Attorney General Strange before the Special Grand Jury was a criminal investigative proceeding. In the course of the investigation, no witness provided credible evidence of criminal "misuse of state funds." No witness provided credible evidence of any other criminal violation on the part of former Secretary Collier. Finally, no witness established a credible basis for the initiation of a criminal inquiry in the first place.
After receiving all of the information provided by ALEA to the Attorney General, and after receiving substantial additional evidence, the Montgomery County Special Grand Jury declined to act on the allegations against former Secretary Collier. For these reasons, the investigation of former Secretary Collier is now closed.

The Waitangi Tribunal has recently been hearing the final part of stage of two of its inquiry into a variety of claims relating to New Zealand's fresh water resources. (A list of the matters the Tribunal is focusing on is available on the Waitangi Tribunal website, see HERE.)
The closing submissions included the NZ Maori Council's push to remove the control of our water resources from democratically elected governments and give it to a 'Water Commission' instead - independent of the Crown - half of which to be made up of Māori representatives, chosen by Māori.
But even this anti-democratic proposal does not go far enough for some.
Tāmaki Legal, representing over a dozen iwi and hapū at the hearing, took a stronger stance over water rights, seeking recognition of exclusive Māori rights to fresh water. Principal Darrell Naden said the way the Crown had managed freshwater and left Māori out of the process was similar to "theft".
"There has been an infringement on Māori rights in water management, and in being shut out of the benefits. It has been the same with other resources that have been nationalised - petroleum, gold, iron sands - without compensation, so in that sense it is theft"
(N.B. Naden is wrong here, iron sands are not nationalised. He need only look at Ngāti Mahuta Ki Te Hauauru iwi, which has been benefitting from sand mining royalties since 1972).
According to Naden, what Māori ownership of fresh water would mean for the general population was still to be determined. "That is a huge question, but we want the Government to recognise native title to fresh water, and then we can sit down and discuss it".

Freshwater NZ Māori Council Waitangi Tribunal
Thank you to everyone who took the opportunity to make a submission on the Government's 'Action for Healthy Waterways' discussion document. Around seventeen and a half thousand submissions were received, reflecting much interest in the proposals. From a democracy point of view, it is of great concern that several proposals point to the undermining of the democratic control of water, and include the intention to require local authorities to compulsorily include a vague and undefined set of values and interests in the management of the water bodies and freshwater ecosystems in their region.

Waitangi Tribunal intent on destroying stable Government
In 2014 the Waitangi Tribunal released a controversial report that claimed Maori did not give up sovereignty. "That is, they did not cede authority to make and enforce law over their people or their territories," the Tribunal said. In a brief statement responding to the report, Attorney-General and Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations Minister Chris Finlayson said: "There is no question that the Crown has sovereignty in New Zealand. This report doesn't change that fact." Continue reading
Ports of Auckland defends the peddling of a myth
The new memorial plaque on the Ports of Auckland frontage, Quay St, states "Te Kawau gifted 3000 acres to establish the City of Auckland." It replaces a plaque which referred to a purchase rather than a gift. Factual evidence shows that there is no doubt the land was sold. In an attempt to set the record straight, several of our members have contacted the CEO of Ports of Auckland, Tony Gibson, requesting that the plaque be corrected to reflect the facts.

Stacey obtained an unsecured loan of $40,000 to consolidate her existing credit cards totalling $10,000 and to purchase a new car. A move interstate meant that employment opportunities were fiercely competitive, leaving Stacey temporarily unemployed. Despite filing for hardship, Stacey defaulted on her loan, leaving the debt collectors threatening her with unreasonable demands.
Stacey's background: Stacey had been gainfully employed for her entire career. She had a number of credit cards, which gradually saw her debt increase to around $10,000. She had also been in a long-distance relationship for some time and, after much soul-searching, decided that she would give up her job and move interstate to be with her partner, Trent.
The debt: Stacey took out an unsecured personal loan of approximately $40,000. This enabled her to consolidate her credit card debts, as well as purchase a new car. The remainder of the money was used to relocate.
With such a strong work history, Stacey thought that she would find a job quickly. However, she quickly found that there wasn't much available in her field in Western Australia. For those jobs that were available, there was fierce competition.
Although Stacey managed to find temporary work in bars, the income was so unsteady that she had to rely on her available credit card limits to cover her expenses. Trent helped out as much as he could, but he had his own expenses and debt to cover.
The request for help: Stacey recognised that she was in financial trouble and obtained hardship relief from her creditors. But after 6 months of irregular income, she ended up defaulting on her loan.
Finally, Stacey found a fulltime job. However her new income was significantly less than what she was earning before. She also had the added complication of dealing with debt collectors after her original loan provider sold the loan debt. The debt collector was demanding payment in full.
She thought about selling the car to pay off the debt, seeking advice from a dealership. They estimated she would receive around $18,000 if she sold it, which wasn't enough to cover her debt. It would also leave her without transport.
Stacey tried to negotiate with the debt collectors, but their demands were unreasonable. When she couldn't meet them, the collectors threatened to take further action. This included placing a garnishee on her wages and issuing a writ for her car.
The decision to file for bankruptcy: By this stage, Stacey's debt had ballooned to almost $60,000. It was overwhelming – she couldn't sleep, no longer felt comfortable leaving the house, and started experiencing anxiety and panic attacks. After careful consideration, she filed for bankruptcy.
Stacey was also able to keep her entire income. As she was earning around $65,000 gross taxable per annum, she didn't have to make any payments under the Bankruptcy Act.

No theme is going to perfectly fit your needs but Palo Alto certainly comes close. I really like the ability to choose the sizes of images and reposition them in the banner sections. That being said, what really makes this a great theme is the support team. They have been unbelievably helpful in making changes to my store and very patient with a number of requests.
Tech support has been the most helpful, prompt, and patient! A real lifesaver.
Amazing theme to work with and incredible support from the team. Would definitely recommend!

Today's Question: What are some simple things I can do at home with my kids to help preserve the butterflies and bees?
There are a few simple things that anyone can do if they have garden or even a porch at home.
Grow flowering plants if you have the space. Even potted plants or a container garden can provide a valuable food source for pollinators passing through. If possible, try to select plants carefully so there is something in bloom for the entire season, spring to fall. For butterflies, you can also look into host plants of butterflies common to your area.
Pollinators don't just need food, they also need shelter. For an insect this can be small. For example, leaving a brush pile in part of your garden can provide nesting habitat for bumble bees. Raising the bed of your lawn mower and mowing less frequently if possible can also provide additional habitat. For native bees, you can purchase a "bee hotel" or bundle together an assortment of hollow bamboo sticks. Just be sure to either replace or disinfect your native bee homes each year to prevent spreading diseases.
Only use pesticides when absolutely required. Look into integrated pest management strategies for any specific issues in your garden that will help reduce reliance on pesticides.
If you want to go the extra mile, you can look into further resources and get your garden certified as a monarch waystation (like the Nature Museum!). You can also help monitor pollinators by contributing to citizen science programs like BeeSpotter or iNaturalist.
