Gifted with a mind that continues to impress the elders in his village, Ahmed Hamid struggles with knowing that he can do nothing to save his friends and family. Living on occupied land, his entire village operates in fear of losing their homes, jobs, and belongings. But more importantly, the people fear losing each other.
On Ahmed's twelfth birthday, that fear becomes reality. With his father imprisoned, his family's home and possessions confiscated, and his siblings quickly succumbing to hatred in the face of conflict, Ahmed begins an inspiring journey using his intellect to save his poor and dying family. In doing so he reclaims a love for others that was lost through a childhood rife with violence and loss, and discovers a new hope for the future.
My year had begun with a lot of changes – cities, mindsets, people, work, leisure and most importantly, hope. It is almost serendipitous that the year is ending on the crimson note of hope. I think most of us believe that life is a journey from the moment your eyes open till they shut forever. There are a number of things, material and tangible, that stay with you throughout this journey. For me, great books are the priceless things I have been collecting to make my journey of a life a little better. There are a few books which will stay glued to me wherever I move, The Almond Tree has been added to that collection now.
The genre of writing about the Middle-East or Afghanistan is not easy. It has never been so. The countries and their people have gone through such things that the rest of the world would find difficult to even imagine. I, for one, didn't have much idea about the Israel-Palestine conflict until this book. To put it softly, I thought they were the 'India-Pakistan' of Middle-East, a term we often use casually to describe a conflict.
This book made me read about tortures and sufferings that India and Pakistan haven't yet been able to inflict upon each other. The first chapter itself is a bolt out of the blue and it made me sit upright, ignoring the warm summer breeze and aroma of roasted almonds that it promised. Michelle Cohen Corasanti has transported her readers into the life of a Palestinian Arab so effortlessly that anyone can relate to Ahmed Hamid. We witness Ahmed's life and that of his family through each chapter. The agony and hardships of pre-teen Ahmed and Abbas for their Baba and siblings gnaws at your heart. At times I felt it is beyond my imagination that children across the world had to bear the brunt of war in such ways.
The author has presented a heart-wrenching and inspiring story for everyone. Ahmed will remain a sturdy example of how motivation and survival instinct combined with intellect made him rise from the ashes. Love and hate are portrayed beautifully as two sides of the same coin through Ahmed and Abbas. The author writes freely here, not complicating her language too much. The different eras spanning Ahmed's life are well divided into books. Her narration is so cogent that one can visualize the hills nesting almond and olive trees. Tragedy is carefully blended with little moments of joy to create an endless pasture of life.
I would recommend this book to everyone for growing up.
My Rating: 5/5

Machine Learning Toolkit: Is there documentation about how to add algorithms?
The Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit (MLTK) enables users to create, validate, manage, and operationalize machine learning models through a guided user interface. The MLTK extends the Splunk platform functions and lets you build custom analytics for any use case. The toolkit includes over 30 common algorithms and gives you access to more than 300 popular open-source algorithms through the Python for Scientific Computing library.
A Showcase, where you can see the six modeling assistants in action with example use cases. Through the Showcase you can inspect the Search Processing Language (SPL) and underlying code on the sample datasets, to see how it all works.
Assistants to guide you through the process of applying an analytic from the Showcase to your own data. Follow your preferred workflow to detect incidents, reduce resolution times, optimize business events, and predict and prevent costly events in your organization.
Download the Machine Learning Toolkit Quick Reference Guide for a handy cheat sheet of ML-SPL commands and machine learning algorithms used in the Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit. This document is also available in Japanese.
Download the ML-SPL Performance App for the Machine Learning Toolkit to use performance results for guidance and benchmarking purposes in your own environment.
The algorithms listed here and in the ML-SPL Quick Reference Guide are available natively in the Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit. You can also base your algorithm on over 300 open source Python algorithms from scikit-learn, pandas, statsmodel, numpy and scipy libraries available through the Python for Scientific Computing add-on in Splunkbase.
For information on how to import an algorithm from the Python for Scientific Computing add-on into the Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit, see the ML-SPL API Guide.
On-prem customers looking for solutions that fall outside of the 30 native algorithms can use GitHub to add more algorithms. Solve custom uses cases through sharing and reusing algorithms in the Splunk Community for MLTK on GitHub. Here you can also learn about new machine learning algorithms from the Splunk open source community, and help fellow users of the toolkit.
The toolkit ships with several example datasets meaning you can practice machine learning concepts, or re-create the Showcase examples in your own instance before working with your own data.

Q: How to click website submit button on third party website I want to click a website submit button using my c# window application

<input type="submit" value="Send" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit"/>

https://www.devpundit.com/contact/   - check this page to see the submit button
It seems like it is calling ajax or javascript call to submit the button.
now how to do this.
I have tried the below 2 option but not working
webBrowser2.Document.GetElementById("wpcf7-submit").InvokeMember("click");
HTMLInputElement submit = (HTMLInputElement)pass.all.item("wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit", 0);

A: First - you are telling the computer to grab the button by its ID, but instead of using the ID, you are putting the class-name where the ID goes. I inspected the element on that page and did not see an "ID" for that element. So let's use what the website gave us.
https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_document_getelementsbyclassname.asp
This will give you a list of all the elements that share that class. So instead of
webBrowser2.Document.GetElementById("wpcf7-submit").InvokeMember("click");

please try
Edit: So it turns out there is no GetElementsByClassName in the C# WebBrowser. Another approach instead would be recognizing that the button has a value of "send". The "value" is an attribute, and can be accessed in C#.

You can run a for-loop through the  elements in the page and check which input elements have the value "send". It's a bit crude, but it should work.
//Create list of HtmlElement objects
        //Populate list with all elements with tag name 'input'
        HtmlElementCollection elementList = webBrowser2.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input");
        //loop through the items in elementList, match the one with value set to 'send'
        foreach (HtmlElement currentElement in elementList)
        {
            if (currentElement.GetAttribute("value") == "Send")
            {
                currentElement.InvokeMember("click");
            }
        }

Q: Rails adding translations to a running rails environment Is there a way to manually inject a translation through the Rails console ?
Suppose I am working on a dev environment, and I want to test some code in a production console (eg to test some statistics on real data).Problem is, the code I want to test relies on new translations that didn't exist (or were changed) in the production environment.
So my code returns a lot of translation_missing
Can I inject the missing translations ? Via a hash or a YML file ?
I18n.load_translations(hash_or_file)

A: Usually Application instances that serve http requests (for example running under Unicorn/Puma) are not available via Rails console. When someone login to production server and type $RAILS_ENV=production rails c it starts another application process. Translations dictionary is a kind of in-memory cache and usually it is not possible to change that cache for/from another process (in general). You can reload translations only for application instance that started by Rails console, but not for running server.
Only one way to hot reload translations is adding kind of a hook into source code of application to re-read YAML file, but it seems better just restart application server.
UPDATE: For testing purposes I18n cache could be modified like:
I18n.backend.send(:translations)[:en][:date][:formats][:default] = "%Y-%Z"

V.R. Craft always heard you should write about what you know, so she decided to write a science fiction book series called Stupid Humans, drawing on her previous experience working in retail and her subsequent desire to get away from planet Earth. She has also worked in marketing, advertising, and public relations, where she found even more material for Stupid Humans. Now self-employed, she enjoys the contact sport of shopping at clearance sales, slamming on the brakes for yard sale signs, and wasting time on social media, where she finds inspiration for further novels in the Stupid Humans book series every day. She continues to write science fiction books and short stories with a side of sarcasm, satire, and snark.
Good start! I look forward to seeing your progress!
Congrats on that novel! I love the title of this blog and what I'm reading so far. I can always use a daily dose of snark!
Thanks, Amy! I don't know about daily, but I can definitely offer a weekly dose of snark, LOL.
I hear you about the daily thing… I'm doing this A-Z challenge this month, and posting each day will be my biggest challenge!
Thanks for being number 4!

Punch, Counter-Punch: Karns City Boys Rally Past Coudy in Thrilling D9 Class 2A Title Game
KARNS CITY, Pa. – No panic.
Karns City found itself trailing by 15 points in the first half of Saturday's District 9 Class 2A championship game against Coudersport and 11 in the third quarter.
They responded as only champions do, going on a huge third-quarter run and then holding off a furious Falcons' rally for a 67-65 victory to win their first D9 title since 2018.
"It feels amazing, freshman year and senior year D9 champs," said senior guard Chase Beighley, the program's all-time leading scorer who netted 19 points. "I believe we're a mentally strong team and we proved it."
See Beighley's full interview here:
The game came down to the final shot, literally, as Coudy star Hayden Keck was fouled shooting a 3 with 1.2 seconds remaining and the Falcons trailing 67-64. Keck calmly sank the first, which prompted a timeout from Karns City coach Chris Bellis.
Keck missed the second, forcing him to miss the third one intentionally to give the Falcons a tip-in chance.
It was to no avail, as the ball deflected out toward halfcourt and the celebration was on for the Gremlins (22-2)
It was a punch, counter-punch, a game truly worthy of a championship.
"Our kids really came together in the third quarter and played good basketball together," said Bellis. "They did it with solid, fundamental man-to-man defense and we finally started getting in sync offensively and played together."
The turning point may have actually come at the end of the first half, as a putback by Nathan Waltman made it a 9-point game at the half, 36-27, after Coudy (14-6) spent most of the second quarter leading by double-digits.
"We were fortunate to cut the lead under 10 at the half," Bellis said. "In my mind, I don't want to be down 15 at the half, and the way the game was going, I think we'd be fortunate to get it under 10. It was huge."
Coudersport led 42-31 after a Keck bucket at the 6:15 mark of the third quarter, but Karns City responded with the run of the game, an 18-4 spurt to close the frame that gave them a lead they didn't relinquish.
Beighley gave them their first led of the game on a deep 3 at the 2:12 mark of the third, 47-46.
"I have two seniors (Beighley and Waltman) who have been with me for four years," Bellis said. "One of them's the all-time leading scorer in school history. When you have two guys like that leading you … they did a good job of bringing guys together."
It was also Waltman's quarter, as the senior big man took over inside, scoring eight of his game-high 22 points in the period.
He talked about the game afterward:
Freshman Luke Cramer also showed poise beyond his years, scoring three big buckets as part of the third-quarter run. He finished with 13 points.
The lead swelled to seven in the fourth quarter, as Micah Rupp came up with three key shots, but Coudersport showed its championship pedigree as well.
Derek Easton and Brandt Kightlinger were big down the stretch, combining for 13 fourth-quarter points, and it was Christian Furman's 3 that got the Falcons within 1, 65-64 with 10 seconds to go.
Beighley was fouled and made both free throws, setting up the frenetic finish.
Furman's 3 was the only one of the second half for the Falcons, who made seven in the first half.
"We figured out our matchups a little better," Bellis said. "We started the game in a zone and obviously that didn't work. We went man but we didn't have our matchups in sync. So we adjusted a few matchups at halftime and were able to play better man-to-man defense in the second half."
It was all Falcons early, as they came out red hot from beyond the arc.
Kightlinger, who tied his season-high with 17 points, knocked down a pair in the first quarter, with Dalton Keglovits and Easton also hitting.
The Falcons led 22-12, at the end of the first as Keck also had six points in the first eight minutes.
The lead stretched to 15, 34-19, after an Easton 3 midway through the second quarter before the Gremlins closed to nine at the half.
"Just so proud of the kids and how they responded," Bellis said.
With the win, the Gremlins advance to play District 5 champion Conemaugh Township on Wednesday in the first round of the PIAA playoffs.

A 17th Century Christmas Miscellany
The 17th century was a strange time for Christmas. For the first few decades of the century, people celebrated just as they had for hundreds of years, until a political squabble between the king and parliament exploded into a prolonged period of civil war and the rise to power of some distinctly humourless politicians.
The anti-Christmas legislation enacted by the Puritan Long Parliament in the 1640s wasn't the first time the British government has had a sense of humour failure (and it won't be the last) – but it was certainly the most spectacular. All the things that made Christmas so enjoyable for ordinary people were banned: mince pies (see below), decorations, gaming, plays, and attending church services. Shops and businesses were expected to stay open on December 25th – it was, in short, to be treated like just another working day:
Resolved by the Parliament: That no observation shall be had of the five and twentieth day of December commonly called Christmas-Day; nor any solemnity used or exercised in churches upon the day in respect thereof – 1652 Ordinance
This was a very foolish move, as midwinter celebrations of one form or another have been central to human culture and belief systems for thousands of years. However, Puritan religious beliefs trumped the near-universal need for people to have fun and celebrate during the darkest, coldest time of the year.
Christmas was banned simply because the Puritans saw no reference to its celebration in the Bible. And because they objected to the pagan and Catholic elements in the ancient rituals and customs of the season. In modern terms, basically, Christmas was banned because of the religious extremism of powerful extremists.
Quite understandably, this ban on festive fun was not popular with the ordinary people; many of whom continued to celebrate Christmas in secret. This could get you in trouble, particularly in London, where soldiers patrolled the streets over the festive season with orders to confiscate the makings of a Christmas feast from anyone found with such foodstuffs in their possession. Attending a Christmas church service could get you arrested, sometimes even within the church itself, as the diarist John Evelyn found to his cost in 1657:
These wretched miscreants held their muskets against us as we came up to receive the Sacred Elements, as if they would have shot us at the Altar
The government attempted to put a stop to these continued seasonal celebrations and to force shops and businesses to stay open on Christmas Day – but this heavy-handed bullying only upset people further, actually resulting in riots between pro- and anti-Christmas factions in a number of cities and towns, including Norwich, London and Canterbury. An account of such a riot in Canterbury on 22nd December 1652 tells of how:
The Major and his assistants used their best endeavors to qualify this tumult, but the fire being once kindled, was not easily quenched. The Sheriff laying hold of a fellow, was stoutly resisted; which the Major perceiving, took a Cudgel and struck the man; who, being no puny, pulled up his courage, and knocked down the Major, whereby his Cloak was much torn and dirty, beside the hurt he received. The Major thereupon made strict proclamation for keeping the Peace and that every man depart to his own house. The multitude hollowing thereat, in disorderly manner; the Alderman and Constables caught two or three of the rout, and sent them to Jail, but they soon broke loose, and jeered Master Alderman.
Soon after issued forth the Commanders of the Rabble, with an addition of Soldiers, into the high street, and brought with them two Foot-balls, whereby their company increased. Which the Major and Aldermen perceiving, took what prisoners they had got, and would have carried them to the Jail. But the multitude following after to the King's Bench, were opposed by Captain Bridge, who was straight knocked down, and had his head broke in two places, not being able to withstand the multitude, who, getting betwixt him and the Jail, rescued their fellows, and beat the Major and Aldermen into their houses, and then cried Conquest.
Note the reference to football – perceived to be causing trouble even then!
Christmas lovers everywhere breathed a sigh of relief when the British monarchy was restored in 1660 under Charles II and Christmas became legal again – but there were still some who disapproved of all the festive fun, and particularly of the notoriously rowdy seasonal celebrations at the royal court. On Christmas Day 1662, Samuel Pepys recorded in his diary how he had heard one such critical viewpoint preached as a sermon in front of the courtiers themselves:
Methought he made but a poor sermon, but long, and reprehending the mistaken jollity of the Court for the true joy that shall and ought to be on these days, he particularized concerning their excess in plays and gaming… Upon which it was worth observing how far [the court] are come from taking the reprehensions of a bishopp seriously, that they all laugh in the chappell
Christmas was back – but not quite in its old garb. Although people did still celebrate the festive period (and although the received image of Restoration Britain is one of non-stop roistering), the seasonal excesses of the medieval and Tudor periods were now a distant memory. In the post-Cromwellian era, Christmas was a far more subdued celebration than it had ever been, and this remained the case until the 19th century, when "the festive season rediscovered its medieval sense of joy"¹.
Seventeenth century mince pies were very different to the sweet, fruity little pastry cases we know today. Made with a meat-based filling, the Stuart mince pie was often made as one large pie to be served as a main course. However, as with this 1624 recipe (which was discovered in the National Archives), they could be made as smaller pies too. Here's a version of the recipe in modern English:
1590 grams of flour
340 grams of sugar
338 grams of butter (diced)
112 grams of clarified butter (melted)
300 grams of mutton leg (chopped)
100 grams veal leg mince (substitute another type of mince if you're not happy using veal)
1 teaspoon of salt
323 grams of large raisins
225 grams of currents
1 orange (zest and juice)
1 lemon (zest and juice)
1 nutmeg (grated)
1 teaspoon of cloves (ground)
150 grams of dates (chopped)
1) Mix together the flour, sugar, butter and egg yolks to make a pastry. Put to one side.
2) Mix together the rest of the ingredients to make the mincemeat filling.
3) Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan assisted)/200°C (regular)
4) Flour your surfaces and the rolling pin, then roll out the pastry into circles.
5) Place your pastry circles into pie tins and fill with the mincemeat mixture. Top with dates.
6) Brush the edges of the pastry in the pie tin with egg yolk and place a smaller circle of pastry on top
7) Cook for 15-20 minutes, depending on your oven.

What they aren't counting on is the fact that those of us who matriculated in an earlier epoch still possess the perspicacity to decipher their obfuscations.
(Of course if one of them happens to come across this post you can bet they will be Googling frantically to try to figure out whether I hid anything politically objectionable in that post).
That a news distributorship is able to exert such power over the American populace and globally, should alarm us all. These are a few unnamed radicals who have undue power over our culture, by slanting news and manipulating language.
SRAZ couldn't be more correct in describing how American kids are being inundated with this leftist garbage from kindergarten on. "Heather has two mommies," was the kindergarten book selection in the school district from which we removed our children. They have since thrived in the charter school environment, where books such as these, aimed at normalizing perversion to very young children, are not part of the curriculum.
Caucasoid (White), Negroid (Black), and Mongoloid (Asian). My nephew converted to the Jewish faith nearly 20 years ago. He is still Caucasian. So is wife, who was born into a traditionally Jewish family, and their children who are Jewish. We recently attended one of their son's Bar Mitzvah.
You can't convert to a race, but you can to a religion.
Unless you're Rachel Dolezal, who convinced many people including her friends, she was black. The truth came out when she was charged with welfare fraud. Her parents outed her.
White Nationalists orWhite Male Nationalists (if the shoe fits).
They've all gotten their marching orders. Dems and their media minions alike.
On Monday, US Congressman Devin Nunes filed a lawsuit against McClatchy News and others for defamation.
In Monday's complaint, Nunes again named Liz Mair as a co-defendant, charging this time that she conspired with McClatchy reporter MacKenzie Mays to spread a variety of untruthful and misleading smears — including that Nunes "was involved with cocaine and underage prostitutes" — online and in print.
Congressman Nunes filed a similar lawsuit in March against Twitter and a Republican "consultant" Liz Mair.
Thanks for the information. I missed it. I hope Nunes cleans their clocks!!
So far AP has not begun using "gender neutral pronouns," such as xe or ze, preferred by the lunatic fringe. That's the next step. These are not journalists or standards. What we are witnessing is mind control on a grand scale, since news organizations think of the "style book"as a bible. The actual bible? its pages are good firewood starter.


A multivehicle New Jersey car crash in Burlington County leaves one woman dead and 11 others injured.
At approximately 1 p.m. on February 22, a black Chevy Tahoe, headed south on Route 130, rear-ended a Mercedes Benz at Cooper Street. This impact forced the Mercedes into a bus stop, striking a 25-year-old woman, who was waiting in the bus shelter, before colliding with a light pole.
The impact of the crash also flipped the SUV onto its roof and caused it to strike another vehicle before coming to rest.
The driver of the SUV, Floyd M. Jones, 48, has been found to have been driving with a suspended license – something that is not unfamiliar to him, as he has been charged with driving with a suspended license seven times in the last 20 years. His license has been suspended 33 times, and he has been arrested 37 times, used 13 different aliases and seven Social Security numbers. He also has 11 warrants out for his arrest.
The negligence of Jones' decision to drive caused harm to 11 people, including several children in his vehicle, one of whom is a 3-year-old, not properly restrained in a car seat.
Jones was charged with causing a death while driving with a suspended license, endangering the welfare of a child, and seven counts of causing serious bodily injury while driving with a suspended license.
Among the most seriously injured are the 25-year-old pedestrian, who was reported in serious condition, and a 13-year-old girl who was in the SUV, in critical condition.
Jones' girlfriend, 57-year-old Joette Beatty of Willingboro, sustained fatal injuries in the accident.
The Pennsylvania accident attorneys at Cordisco & Saile would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Joette Beatty and wish the other victims of this accident a quick and full recovery from the injuries they have sustained.

Artists Rep is Portland's premiere mid-size regional theatre company and is led by Artistic Director Dámaso Rodríguez and Managing Director J.S. May. Founded in 1982, Artists Repertory Theatre is the longest-running professional theatre company in Portland. ART became the 72nd member of the League of Resident Theatres (LORT) in 2016 and is an Associate Member of the National New Play Network (NNPN). Artists Rep's 2019/20 season can be found here.
Artists Rep has become a significant presence in American regional theatre with a legacy of world, national, and regional premieres of provocative new work with the highest standards of stagecraft. The organization is committed to local artists and features a company of Resident Artists and professionals of varied theatre disciplines, who are a driving force behind Artists Rep's creative output and identity.
TABLE|ROOM|STAGE (T|R|S) was established in 2015 and is Artists Rep's new play program whose mission is to develop and produce new work that vividly expresses Artists Rep's aesthetic values. We focus on work by writers of color, women, LGBTQIA+ and gender nonconforming writers, and offer an environment where these playwrights can create provocative, intimate new theatre pieces that challenge, illuminate, and inspire.

RESIDENT ARTISTS have an ongoing history of working on stage and behind-the-scenes of Artists Rep's main stage productions. They collaborate with administrative staff on education, community engagement, new play development, and fundraising efforts. The Resident Artist title is offered by the Artistic Director in appreciation of each artist's achievements with ART and in the spirit of continued collaboration. These multidisciplinary theatre makers are deeply committed to ART's success, share organizational values, and participate in decision-making processes that impact the theatre's mission and its future. Through the Resident Artists program, we ensure that a diverse community of Portland-based artists are at the center of the day-to-day life of the theatre and play a vital part in creating the culture at ART.
EDUCATION is dedicated to developing theatre artists, students, business and arts professionals, and life- long learners at every ability, interest, and level of expertise. Education opportunities focus on engaging and elevating our community by offering professional-level classes, coaching, and workshops with our teaching artists. Programs like these serve artists and others seeking professional development, students seeking to engage in the transformative power of the arts, and life-long learners who can take classes in subjects such as dramaturgy, script-writing, communication for non-actors, and more. With the Student Ambassador Program, students learn about the inner-workings of a major nonprofit professional theatre, meet once per month, see shows for free, and participate in discussions with leading theatre artists and professionals. Access and enrichment are available for educators who enjoy ticket discounts, school programming, and workshops. Enhanced viewing experiences include post-show discussions with the cast, panel discussions with experts, and a dedicated conversation with production designers.
ARTSHUB is Artists Rep's resource sharing and community-building initiative supporting Portland theatre makers, arts and education nonprofits, and community groups. The mission of the ArtsHub is to create a cultural center by supporting Portland's rich artistic ecosystem. Programs and services include below market rates for rehearsal, performance, and meeting space; shared administrative work space for individuals and organizations; and production services such as set construction, scenic painting, and professional technical support from design through performance. We prioritize artists and organizations that support ART's values of equity, diversity, and inclusion, and seek to provide a home for artists and audiences to take creative risks.
While the program's origin six years ago was in response to an opportunity to share underutilized performance space, we have found that the most vital and lasting impact of the ArtsHub is the bustling community that has been formed, and the myriad ways it has led to the empowerment of local artists and the accelerated growth of participating organizations. In the 2018/19 Season, over 1,500 events were held in our building by 42 local nonprofits, including 11 resident companies — 380 ArtsHub public events, 462 rehearsals, 422 classes and 306 ART events. Our new facility is being designed so that the ArtsHub can include even more organizations than it currently serves.
RISE: The Campaign for Artists Repertory Theatre is the capital funding drive that will make possible the reinvention of ART's building at 1515 SW Morrison. Originally an Elks Lodge health club, the Artists Rep building has reached the end of its useful life. A major gift in 2018 paid off the outstanding mortgage on the entire downtown block catalyzing the 2019 sale of the north half of the building. ART received $9 million in the sale, which is now the lead investment for the reimagining of the remaining building. The roof and two massive wood beams will rise to create a modern multiuse performing arts center with two theatres, four rehearsal halls, and collaborative spaces that will give space to the many new stories waiting to be shared.
Artists Repertory Theatre receives generous support from our community of patrons, including significant leadership gifts from: The Robert & Mercedes Eichholz Foundation; Ronni Lacroute; Regional Arts & Culture Council; The Shubert Foundation; David & Christine Vernier; Colliers International; and Wood Partners. Additional Corporate and Foundation support comes from: Dark Horse Wine; Lagunitas Brewing Company; Nossa Familia Coffee; the Kinsman Foundation; Rafati's Catering; Howard S. Wright/Balfour Beatty; and US Bank.

13-й Сербский корпус НОАЮ () — воинское формирование НОАЮ, сформированное 7 сентября 1944 и участвовавшее в Народно-освободительной войне Югославии. Принимал участие в Нишской и Косовской операции, противостоял группе армий «E».

История
На момент образования корпус насчитывал 8 тысяч человек и включал в себя 2-ю Пролетарскую, 22-ю и 24-ю сербские дивизии. 20 сентября 1944 года из его состава была выведена 2-я Пролетарская дивизия, которую сменила 46-я Сербская дивизия. С октября 1944 года в его составе была и 47-я Сербская дивизия. Командиром корпуса был Народный герой Югославии Любо Вучкович, политическим комиссаром — Василие Смаевич. 3 декабря 1944 года его штаб был расформирован, командование над частями корпуса передали Главному штабу народно-освободительной армии и партизанских отрядов (НОАиПО) Сербии .

13-й корпус участвовал в боях в Южной Сербии между реками Ибар, Западная Морава и Нишава, а также на югославско-болгарской границе, реке Пчиня и в Косово и Метохии. 8 сентября 1944 года по приказу Главного штаба НОАиПО Сербии корпус направлен в долину Южной Моравы и Нишавы, чтобы воспрепятствовать отступлению группы армий «E» вермахта из Греции и Македонии. В начале сентября корпусом были освобождены сёла Вране, Буяновац, Владичин-Хан, Сурдулица (8 сентября); Бабушница, Пирот, Цариброд и Босилеград (10 сентября). К середине сентября противник остался только в гарнизонах Ниша, Лесковаца и Властоинце. 9 сентября 13-й Сербский корпус нанёс поражение Чегарскому корпусу четников.

В конце сентября — начале октября корпус вел бои с немецкими войсками из группы армий «E», которые прорвались из Скопье в направлении Белграда. На помощь 13-му Сербскому корпусу подошли 2-я болгарская армия и 223-я стрелковая дивизия РККА. С 8 по 14 октября корпус бился за Ниш, освободив Властоинце 10 октября, Лесковац и Вране 11 октября. После взятия Ниша немецкой армии был перекрыт путь к отступлению через долину Моравы. Во второй половине октября — начале ноября корпус участвовал в освобождении северной части Косово и Метохии. 19 ноября освободил Приштину, 20 ноября — Вучитрн, 22 ноября — Косовску-Митровицу, 30 ноября — Нови-Пазар.

THE WESTERN FAN'S GUIDE TO THE TCM FEST, PLUS SANT...
THE WESTERN FAN'S GUIDE TO THE TCM FEST, PLUS SANTA CLARITA COWBOY FEST, ALL-STAR WORD-ON-WESTERNS, MEMBERS NIGHT AND 'UNION PACIFIC' AT THE AUTRY!
THE WESTERN FAN'S GUIDE TO THE TCM CLASSIC FILM FESTIVAL!
The 10th Annual TCM Classic Film Festival arrives in Hollywood this Thursday, April 11th, for four days and nights of wonderful movies seen as they should be, on big screens, introduced by knowledgeable and often famous guests, and attended by folks who love movies - and know as much about them - as you and I do. This year's theme is Follow Your Heart – Love At The Movies, and there are films for all interests. I'll have a link below to connect you to the entire schedule, but for this report I'm focusing on Westerns and attendees of Western interest. You can't see everything, because so many films are screened simultaneously, so it's wise to plan ahead, and make sure you give yourself enough time to get from theatre to theatre. Rather than skip movies to eat meals, I often carry a briefcase full of Smuckers Uncrustables.
TICKETS: The various festival passes, which run from $2,149 down to a paltry $299, are all sold out. But, individual passes are available for most movies on a first-come, first-served basis, for twenty buck a pop, with the Sunday evening screening of Gone With The Wind for $30. Lots of movies do fill up, so your advised to get to movies at least a half-hour early.
VENUES: The vast majority of films are screened at the Chinese complex, either the historic Chinese Theatre IMAX or the Chinese 6 Theatres Multiplex, on Hollywood Blvd., near Highland. Some films are shown a few blocks East on Hollywood Blvd., at the equally historic Egyptian Theatre. You may need to drive to films at Arclight Cinema's Cinerama Dome on Sunset Blvd. A few movies are screened poolside at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, across the street from the Chinese Theatres. A new venue added this year is the American Legion Theatre at Post 43, chartered in 1919 by World War I film-industry veterans, and now with a stunningly renovated theatre. It's about a fifteen-minute walk from the Hollywood Roosevelt, and click HERE to get more details.
THURSDAY NIGHT begins with an invitation-only, Chinese IMAX Theatre 6:30 pm premiere, of a restoration of WHEN HARRY MET SALLY (not a Western), whic director Rob Reiner and stars Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal (of CITY SLICKERS) will attend.
At 7:30 pm, Poolside at the Hollywood Roosevelt, the original OCEAN'S 11 will screen, preceded by a discussion with lovely Angie Dickinson (RIO BRAVO, among others).
At 8 pm at the Legion Theatre at Post 43, SERGEANT YORK will be presented, with a discussion beforehand with two of Sgt. York's sons!
FRIDAY MORNING at 10:30 am, in the forecourt of the fabled Chinese Theatre, Billy Crystal will follow the long Hollywood tradition of placing his handprints and footprints in cement!
At 12 noon at the Legion Theatre at Post 43, there's WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT REPUBLIC SERIALS? It's a program of shorts hosted by Andrea Kalas, Paramount Pictures Archivist – Paramount now owns the Republic library.

And when it comes to food many fans come year after year just for the Cowboy Peach Cobbler, but there's also barbecue, soul food, Thai food, sausage – you name it! There's a special parking area, and shuttle buses to take you to the venue. For details, click HERE.

How Verana Health Helps Elucidate Real-world Ophthalmic Treatment Patterns in nAMD and Glaucoma
Author: Theodore Leng, MD, MS, Verana Health
Tracking real-world patient demographic profiles in ophthalmology presents a unique challenge to researchers seeking to better understand which types of patients receive care. The American Academy of Ophthalmology IRIS® Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight) allows large-scale collection of de-identified patient data by aggregating observational inputs from dozens of electronic health records systems.
Without data curation, the volume and complexity of the IRIS Registry would render this specialty-wide database cumbersome. By partnering with Verana Health—which uses its VeraQ® data engine to continually refine the real-world data found in the IRIS Registry into research-ready Qdata®—the Academy has facilitated analyses that will lend to a better understanding of real-world patient behavior.
The Value of Real-world Data in Ophthalmic Clinical Research: nAMD and Glaucoma
Two recent pieces in ophthalmic trade publications demonstrate how a curated IRIS Registry database leads to clarity in the field. The first, "Characteristics of Patients Started on Brolucizumab," was written by Mathew W. MacCumber, MD, PhD, and appeared in Retinal Physician. The second was a blog post that I authored with Michael Mbagwu, MD, a Medical Director at Verana Health, titled "Stand-alone MIGS Procedures in the Real World."
Anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents are the standard of care drug used to treat patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD); two on-label and one off-label anti-VEGF agent had commonly been used in clinical practice for approximately a decade. The FDA last approved an anti-VEGF agent for the treatment of nAMD in 2011—that is, until the fourth quarter of 2019, when the approval of brolucizumab (Beovu, Novartis) presented a new option for clinicians.
In an effort to understand which patient types received treatment with brolucizumab in the period immediately after its approval (and before COVID-related shutdowns induced aberrations in typical practice patterns), Dr. MacCumber and his research team turned to the IRIS Registry powered by Verana Health. In their analysis of real-world patients, they found that most eyes (83%) that received brolucizumab had visual acuity in the 20/25 to 20/160 range at baseline, with less than 12% seeing worse than 20/200 before switching to brolucizumab. Dr. MacCumber's team also found that a majority (71%) of patients who were switched to brolucizumab had most recently undergone treatment with the anti-VEGF agent aflibercept (Eylea, Regeneron), with the remaining patients evenly split between the other two anti-VEGF agents commonly used in practice.
Learning about characteristics of real-world patients who were among the first to receive brolucizumab has implications beyond this particular drug. These data may inform future drug launches, elucidate treatment gaps, and guide marketing strategies for future technologies in this space. All of this would be impossible were it not for a curated specialty database.
The IRIS Registry also lent itself to research in patients with glaucoma. Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) is gaining popularity for its efficacy and safety. The iStent (Glaukos) and iStent Inject (Glaukos) are trabecular bypass MIGS devices approved for use by the FDA when combined with cataract surgery. However, some patients have received either of these trabecular bypass MIGS devices in standalone surgeries.
Dr. Mbagwu and I, along with a group of analysts, combed the IRIS Registry for information about how many patients underwent standalone vs combined trabecular bypass MIGS procedures. Because data in the IRIS Registry are organized coherently, we were able to quickly identify instances of each surgery type, and eliminated patient profiles that did not have enough data.
Among our findings were that nearly all (99%) of cases involving trabecular bypass MIGS devices between 2013 and 2020 occurred at the time of cataract surgery, leaving only 1% of cases occurring as an off-label standalone procedure. Patients who had standalone procedures had more severe glaucoma and were more likely to have a history of ocular surgery compared with those who underwent on-label combined procedures. These findings may help governing bodies, professional societies, and others make informed decisions regarding recommendations or regulations vis-à-vis trabecular bypass MIGS.
New analyses powered by the IRIS Registry and Verana Health are being conducted regularly. See a comprehensive list of research, here.

Children at Scargill Primary School in West Hallam learned about being hospitable during a special themed week. Year five and six pupils organised a party for the midday supervisors, kitchen and office staff, while the year three and four pupils held an open morning for grandparents. Throughout the hospitality week all the children learned about being hospitable by taking part in a range of activities including acting out Bible stories and sharing fairly in maths.

1. Make an account, I don't think i need to show you how.
4b.once an order is made you CANNOT cancel it, if you do cancel it, you have the potential to be banned. Like Mandarake, AmiAmi is very strict, especially with newer members.
5. once done go to your cart and "Log in and proceed"
10. From there it will take your order and you will need to wait 1-4 days for them to send you an invoice with your total shipping. Once you pay it, you are done.
To Canada, it usually takes 2-4 weeks SAL but EMS can be as little as 3 days.
Just used AmiAmi for the first time so will be interested in how it all goes.
Thanks king. I'm looking at it now.
Search Dragon Ball not Dragonball. That should bring up more items.
D'oh! That really helped. Brought up more results but not to my liking.
I have a question with regards to ami ami and bij. Is it possible that after I preorder a figure, I cancel my preorder?
Right. Guess I didn't notice that part. Thanks king.
Yes, it is not a big deal.
I just make sure I really want the item before ordering to be safe.
Thanks man. That's a relief.
I agree but you never know what might go wrong later on.
Kinda why I don't preorder a lot.
LOL yeah first time I preorder too. I just couldn't risk anything with that medicos goku. Version one is selling on mandarake for 25000.

Origins: Greek Ethics
The ancient Greeks were keenly focused on personal cultivation including the principles of conduct governing an individual: ethics. The birth and development of these ethics are owed to a trio of classical Greek scholars: Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.
Socrates (469 BC to 399 BC)
Considered to be one of the fathers, if not the father, of Western philosophy. Unfortunately little, if any, of his works exist - except in the writings of his students who followed him, most notably Plato (see below)
Tragically he was executed for being a heretic - as Aristotle later said "Thinking is sometimes injurious to health"!
Socrates - A Virtuous Life
There are many things accredited to Socrates but for this short study it is relevant to highlight his elenchus or Socratic Method: the use of questions to gain specific answers and in so doing encourage "funneled" insight into the subject under discussion. This certainly led to the development of Logic and a by product was an unquenhable thirst for knowledge through questions: What is knowledge? What is beauty? What is virtue? What is justice?
Socrates thought a good man ought to seek the good life and so become a good and virtuous citizen. He believed the only possible way to achieve "The Good Life" was through personal examination. "Know yourself", even today, is an oft repeated phrase by Socrates, although in this context we also like "The unexamined life is not worth living".
We recommend: "The Hemlock Cup" by Bettany Hughes - this can only be described as the closest thing to an autobiography one can ever expect to find about Socrates.
Plat0 (428/427 BC to 348/347 BC)
A student of Socrates and founder of The Academy - the first ever institution of higher learning. He was a writer and teacher of philosophy, logic, rhetoric and mathematics (just to name the major subjects!).
While there is some debate as to the authenticity for some of his attributed works, it is clear he was a prolific writer. He was a loyal supporter of his teacher and mentor Socrates and quotes him throughout his writings. It is from this we gain an insight into Socrates and his thoughts and teachings.
Plato Speaks
Certainly Plato had many things to say regarding virtues (or ethics) and this can be seen throughout his written works. Examples include quotes like these:
"All the gold which is under or upon the earth is not enough to give in exchange for virtue."
"Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others."
"The most virtuous are those who content themselves with being virtuous without seeking to appear so."
Aristotle (384 BC to 322 BC)
A student of Plato, Aristotle was also a writer and teacher of philosophy, logic and rhetoric plus: physics, metaphysics, biology, poetry, theatre, music, politics, government and ethics. It may surprise people to know he taught Alexander the Great.
Like Socrates he was responsible for thoughts and observations in many fields of endeavor, many of which have influenced mankind since – even withstanding the test of time and are still relevant for today. Fortunately, unlike Socrates, many of Aristotle's writing has survived – sadly though, it is believed only about one-third!
Along with Socartes and Plato, Aristotle is an important founder of Western philosophy. He was the first to create a system of morality (or ethics) and this philosophy continues to attract academic study today.
Aristotle - A Good Life
Aristotle thought man must have a function or purpose and that it must be an activity of the soul. He identified the best activity of the soul as eudaimonia ("human flourishing"): a happiness which permeates throughout the good life. To achieve "The Good Life" one must live a balanced life and avoid excess. This balance would be different from person to person and situation to situation - existing as a balance between two vices - one an excess and the other a deficiency.
His writings include various works on ethics, but the most studied and noted is his Nichomachean Ethics, which outlines what is referred to today as virtue ethics. For instance, an example of his writing regarding these virtue ethics: "The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature indeed prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit".

Q: Change SUMIF and CHANGIF formulas so that filtered data only gets calculated I currently have these formulas that calculate data from another tab's table, but if I filter data out of the table, my formulas still calculate the filtered out data. I'm pretty new to excel, but I've read a few forums on using SUMPRODUCT to get the results I want but not sure how to do it. Below I have posted a few formulas. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

FROM ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION
FOR RELEASE: AT WILL DATED: 2/24/2021
MOVIE REVIEW by Richard Roeper
"MY ZOE" One and a half stars Isabelle ….. Julie Delpy James …….. Richard Armitage Thomas ……. Daniel Bruhl Laura …….. Gemma Arterton
Blue Fox Entertainment presents a film written and directed by Julie Delpy. Rated R (for brief language/sexual references). Running time: 101 minutes. Opens Feb. 26 in theaters.
It's been said only truly talented people can make art so strikingly bad it goes beyond the banal and into the land of jaw-dropping terribleness, and unfortunately that's the case with the greatly gifted Julie Delpy's twin misfire titled "My Zoe," which plays like two distinct movies — both of them quite awful.
The French-American Delpy has renaissance abilities, as evidenced with the 2007 gem "Two Days in Paris," for which she wrote, directed, produced, played the lead, edited and composed the soundtrack. But this time around, she's the writer-director-star of a clumsy, off-putting, uninvolving hybrid of domestic tragedy and sci-fi drama with zero payoffs and one of the most infuriating codas of any movie this century.
"My Zoe" takes place in an unspecified near future, with Delpy's Isabelle a recently divorced genetic scientist who lives in Berlin with her 6-year-old daughter, Zoe (Sophia Ally), and seems to spend most of her free time bickering and arguing with her British ex-husband, James (Richard Armitage), a controlling and emotionally abusive lout who shares custody of Zoe, blames Isabelle for the demise of the marriage and can barely contain his seething rage at the mere mention of Isabelle's new romantic partner, Akil (Saleh Bakri). When Zoe falls asleep one night and doesn't wake up, Isabelle rushes her to the hospital, where she is met by James, and while their little girl clings to life, these two are encased in a glass box of a waiting room within the hospital and fly into yet another rage-filled screaming match. When Isabelle tells James, "You're just an awful human being," we nod in agreement but also think: "You're no prize either, Isabelle."
When it seems certain poor Zoe will never wake up, the film takes a whiplash-inducing turn from toxic family drama to flat and ludicrous science-fiction. Under the auspices of saying one last goodbye to her daughter, Isabelle sneaks some high-tech equipment into Zoe's room, takes a tissue sample and flies to Moscow to meet with the pioneering fertility scientist Dr. Thomas Fischer (Daniel Bruhl, so low-key HE seems sedated), who has been conducting some groundbreaking and controversial experiments. Seems that even as Zoe's father and the rest of Zoe's family are planning to say goodbye to the girl, Isabelle wants some clone time!
Thomas tells Isabelle the technology isn't there yet and adamantly refuses to help her, until he changes his mind, because if he didn't, the movie would be over. Thomas' wife (Gemma Arterton) is horrified by this secret and quite illegal project, and rightfully so, as it could well end with Thomas and his associates (and Isabelle) in prison, while some little clone child is brought into the world. (Either that or the manufactured clone pregnancy will kill Isabelle.)
The second half of "My Zoe" is a heavy slog through multiple attempts at creating a genetic copy of Zoe (who of course would not actually BE Zoe), and then we zoom forward a half-decade into the future, and we get that tacked-on and deeply irritating epilogue, which brings about far more questions than answers, not that we really care anymore.
Minireview: "My Zoe" (Drama, R, 101 minutes). Julie Delpy writes, directs and stars as a genetic scientist who takes tissue from her comatose child and attempts to have her cloned. The clumsy, off-putting, uninvolving hybrid of domestic tragedy and sci-fi drama has one of the most infuriating codas of any movie this century. Rating: One and a half stars.

I'm having trouble running my Specs test cases. It works when I'm using the class-version of the run configuration. This works for both Specs configuration and ScalaTest when mixing the ScalaTestRunner into the test class.
But when I'm switching to package mode in the run configuration I get the error "Not found suite class" for both ScalaTest and Specs.
What do I have to enter in the class field? A package name and all classes in that package get run?
How do the regexps exactly work?
A help page would be useful.
I'm using Scala 2.8.0 Beta and the according test libraries. The scala plugin is 863 and Idea is 500-something (the current one at the time of writing).
Have you found a solution for this? I'm having the same issue after installing the most recent EAP version of intellij and the most recent scala plugin. (things worked in the plugin for the 9.0.1 release).
I hate to say this, but using this ide for scala is becoming a pain, every new update seems to break existing functionality. And moreover,. every new update takes me hours to configure to make it actually compile my project due to subtle changes. Having non descript compiler error messages (that could be made more explicit with a secret?! (http://git.jetbrains.org/?p=idea/scala-plugin.git;a=commit;h=563ff3ffb6e49ae63c937fc95d447515fcb12209) option didn't help either) I'm all for "hide unnecessary option/details details from the user" but well.. having an error message that actually means something would be sweet.
Having experienced this before, you might wonder why i even bothered upgrading to the new build, well, using the scala compiler deamon seemed promising Big mistake as in the end i didn't even get it to work.
If you are using scala compiler from plugin directory, then after upgrading you can find new compiler bugs, or just your dependencies is different from using compiler version.
I'll look at bug with running tests on package to fix it. Thank you for your report.
Edit: Got the scala compilation server to work too. This is a HUGE increase is useabilty/userfriendliness (when my project was small compilation times didn't matter much, but it's turning into a behemot) keep the great work going!
