at some point, Cassandra will send back a response on the connection. This response also contains the stream id, which allows the driver to trigger a callback that will complete the corresponding query (this is the point where your ResultSetFuture will get completed).
You don't need to manage connections yourself. You simply interact with a Session object, which takes care of it.
For each Session, there is one connection pool per connected host (a host is connected when it is up and not ignored by the load balancing policy).
protocol v2 or below: 128 stream ids per connection.
protocol v3 or above: up to 32768 stream ids per connection.
Connection pools have a variable size, which gets adjusted automatically depending on the current load. There will always be at least a core number of connections, and at most a max number. These values can be configured independently by host distance (the distance is determined by your LoadBalancingPolicy, and will generally indicate whether a host is in the same datacenter or not).
PoolingOptions.setNewConnectionThreshold determines the threshold that triggers the creation of a new connection when the pool is not at its maximum capacity. In general, you shouldn't need to change its default value.
If core != max, the pool will resize automatically to adjust to the current activity on the host.
When activity goes up and there are n connections with n < max, the driver will add a connection when the number of concurrent requests is more than (n - 1) * 128 + PoolingOptions.setNewConnectionThreshold (in layman's terms, when all but the last connection are full and the last connection is above the threshold).
When activity goes down, the driver will "trash" connections if the maximum number of requests in a 10 second time period can be satisfied by less than the number of connections opened. Trashed connections are kept open but do not accept new requests. After a given timeout (defined by PoolingOptions.setIdleTimeoutSeconds), trashed connections are closed and removed. If during that idle period activity increases again, those connections will be resurrected back into the active pool and reused. The main intent of that is to not constantly recreate connections if activity changes quickly over an interval.
PoolingOptions.setMaxRequestsPerConnection allows you to throttle the number of concurrent requests per connection.
With protocol v2, there is no reason to throttle. It is set to 128 (the max) and you should not change it.
Just keep in mind that high values will give clients more bandwidth and therefore put more pressure on your cluster. This might require some tuning, especially if you have many clients.
If connections stay idle for too long, they might be dropped by intermediate network devices (routers, firewalls…). Normally, TCP keepalive should take care of this; but tweaking low-level keepalive settings might be impractical in some environments.
The driver provides application-side keepalive in the form of a connection heartbeat: when a connection has been idle for a given amount of time, the driver will simulate activity by writing a dummy request to it.
If it gets changed at runtime, only connections created after that will use the new interval. Most users will want to do this at startup.
The heartbeat interval should be set higher than SocketOptions.readTimeoutMillis: the read timeout is the maximum time that the driver waits for a regular query to complete, therefore the connection should not be considered idle before it has elapsed.
To disable heartbeat, set the interval to 0.
Implementation note: the dummy request sent by heartbeat is an OPTIONS message.
When the driver tries to send a request to a host, it will first try to acquire a connection from this host's pool. If the pool is busy (i.e. all connections are already handling their maximum number of in flight requests), the acquisition attempt gets enqueued until a connection becomes available again.
Two options control that queue: a maximum size (PoolingOptions.setMaxQueueSize) and a timeout (PoolingOptions.setPoolTimeoutMillis).
otherwise, the attempt is enqueued; if a connection becomes available before poolTimeoutMillis has elapsed, then the attempt succeeds, otherwise it is rejected.
If the attempt is rejected, the driver will move to the next host in the query plan, and try to acquire a connection again.
If all hosts are busy with a full queue, the request will fail with a NoHostAvailableException. If you inspect the map returns by this exception's getErrors method, you will see a BusyPoolException for each host.
In real life, you'll probably want something more sophisticated, like exposing a JMX MBean or sending the data to your favorite monitoring tool.
If you find that the current load stays close or equal to the maximum load at all time, it's a sign that your connection pools are saturated and you should raise the max connections per host, or max requests per connection (protocol v3).
If you're using protocol v2 and the load is often less than core * 128, your pools are underused and you could get away with less core connections.
As mentioned above, the default pool size for protocol v3 is core = max = 1. This means all requests to a given node will share a single connection, and therefore a single Netty I/O thread.
There is a corner case where this I/O thread can max out its CPU core and become a bottleneck in the driver; in our benchmarks, this happened with a single-node cluster and a high throughput (approximately 80K requests / second).
one of the driver's I/O threads maxes out its CPU core. You can see that with a profiler, or OS-level tools like pidstat -tu on Linux. I/O threads are called <cluster_name>-nio-worker-<n>, unless you're injecting your own EventLoopGroup with NettyOptions.
keep core = 1, but adjust maxRequestsPerConnection and newConnectionThreshold so that enough connections are added by the time you reach the bottleneck.


Dental implants are one of the most exciting advances to replace missing teeth. A dental implant is a small screw usually composed of titanium that can be used to support many types of dental restorations. Dental implants can be used to support a single tooth, multiple teeth like a dental bridge, a removable appliance and even a complete set of teeth. They are even being used to help with orthodontic appliances during tooth movement.
This patient lost one of her upper right front teeth after being hit with a rock. A single dental implant was placed to support a porcelain crown. The first photo shows the crown supported by the implant, the second photo shows all of the teeth in the front of the mouth with the implant crown on the left in the photo and the third photo shows an image of where the implant is in the smile.
This patient fractured her front tooth necessitating its extraction. A single dental implant was used to replace the tooth and support a crown. The before photo shows the fractured tooth before removal. It is the upper front tooth with the red area at the gum line. The after photos show the final crown supported by an implant and the last photo shows where the implant is placed.

Red and Black Night is a school wide event that tries to incorporate all types of students. The school is divided up into two teams based on the first letter of a person's last name. If a person's last name starts with A-K, they are on the Black team. If a person's last name starts with L-Z they are on the Red team. The events take place over the course of one week but the planning and preparation takes months.
There are two generals selected from each team, one senior guy and one senior girl. From there, captains are picked for each team from each of the grades to help plan and organize each team. Each team organizes nights of painting where the captains, generals, and anyone who comes help pick the team name, the participants for each event, and most importantly paint the posters. Each team designs and creates team posters with catchy slogans on them. The posters are hung up the day of Gym night in the main gym for everyone to see. Red and Black night is a very competitive event but in the end, it is all just for fun.

WhiMSy love: Flatware Wind Chime Tutorial!
I've always wanted to make a wind chime from flatware. And, so I did!
As you will see later on, you can just make this wind chime smaller--with just 2 tiers, instead of all three. The bottom grouping has larger pieces---a pie server, over sized soup spoon, etc. & I like the "weight" of it.
So, the first thing you'll need to do is gather your supplies: vintage silver or silver plate flatware......For the one I made you'll need a total of 3 forks & then 8 other pieces of flatware. They could be spoons, butter knives, pie servers, etc. I just steered cleared from anything that could actually injure a passerby, or items that "never need sharpening".
The other supplies you need are: 30 lb. fishing line, a metal file, a ruler, a drill with a 3/32 drill bit, & NOT pictured but needed are pliers & scissors (to cut the fishing line).
I started out using a 1/16" drill bit. I broke it while trying to drill. So, I used the next size up--a 5/16" bit. I broke that too. So see, I'm sharing my boo-boo's so you can save time. I used the 3/32" bit & it was fine.
It took me a while to drill through the flatware. This is definitely not a quick project. It's an afternoon dealio. Drill through the "handle" or top part of each piece of flatware.
Drill through the part shown in the picture for each fork that will become the center structure.
After drilling, you'll notice really sharp edges. File those off until smooth with your metal file.
Now it's time for an Otter Pop break!! (And you can wipe the sweat off your brow too.) Man! It was a hot day. I'm pretty sure it was, like, a bajillion degrees.
Alright, back to work. The top fork, middle fork & bottom fork will need to be bent with the pliers in this way.
I had THIS fork already bent in my stash & I thought it looked cool, so I used it for the bottom fork. You can do that too if you want.
...so it will look like this.
I took a picture of all the finished pieces but realized later that I left out a few spoons.
Now, tie a piece of fishing line onto the top fork as in the picture & leave about 5" between it & the middle fork.
Then, from each curly prong on the top fork, tie 4 of your random pieces of flatware until the broadest parts of each hang equal with the middle forks curly prongs. (This is so the flatware hits the middle fork prongs with a nice "clink" & "clang" sound.) You can stop here & be done & have a really cool wind chime, or you can continue to add the bottom level in the same way you just made the previous one: The middle fork (which is the fork in the bottom of the picture below) will have 4 other random pieces of flatware tied to its curly prongs & the bottom hole in that fork will have another fork tied to it, hanging below.
...& here's the bottom. I actually drilled a hole in the bottom of that fork in the last tier, so I think I may go back & add a decorative detail to the bottom---like a really ornate piece of flatware just hung there on its own.
Oh, & don't forget to tie some string to the very tippy-top of the top fork so you can hang it outside. I hope you have fun trying this out! The sound it makes is totally neato!! I LOVE it!!
Cheers to another "Summer Fun Idea"!!!!
You did a great job on this tutorial!
Thanks so much for the tutorial which was much helpful on this project. Any thoughts on how to keep them from rusting certainly around the holes? I trieds some clear spray made by rustolium and will see if that works???
I love this idea. I have some bits of odd silverware of my mother's mother that is so icky with so much of the silver missing. It sits in my drawer and never ever gets used. I am going to get it out and do this with it so it will have a life! Thank you so much!
I'll make a video of it as I make it! Thanks so much.
I love love love the tutorial!! And it's not summer time here (right now) but I'm still going to take an otter pop break...just because you said so. :) Thanks so much!!!
Thank you for this! I've had a stash of forks saved up for a while and have been wanting to do this, but the drilling scares me. Maybe I'll have the guts to try it now!
I am so happy right now!!! I had a flatware wind chime many years ago that got left behind when we moved :( Now I can make a new one!!! Happy Dance!

NFL Legend Tom Brady Looking to Get Paid in Crypto
By Matthew De Saro
22 September 2021, 16:17 GMT+0000
The face of the NFL, Tom Brady, said on his podcast that he wants to be paid partially in cryptocurrency.
TB12 was quoted stating that "I'd love to request that to get paid in some crypto."
Brady and his wife, Gisele Bündchen, have both signed deals with FTX to partner up and receive equity in the exchange.
In a recent interview, Tom Brady expressed his desire to receive some of his salary in crypto.
Tom Brady has been having a phenomenal 2021-22 season on and off the field. The future Hall-of-Fame quarterback has been in the news recently for his support of cryptocurrencies and related projects. Now, TB12 has announced that he wishes to get paid in cryptocurrency.
On a recent episode of Brady's "Let's Go" podcast with Jim Gray and Larry Fitzgerald, the living legend had this to say, "I'd love to request that to get paid in some crypto and, you know, to get paid in some Bitcoin or Ethereum or Solana tokens.' Brady goes on to double down on his support for the industry by saying, "I think it's an amazing thing that's happening in the world with the way the world is becoming more digital. And these digital currencies, along with a lot of, if you look how the way the world is going, with all these different digital mediums and how they're impacting currencies."
Brady also confirmed during the episode that "there are other big-name players who have indicated that they'd love to get paid in Crypto."
Brady going deep with crypto
Brady, who has made more than $300 million in his decades in the NFL, has been a vocal supporter of digital currencies. Not only does he support the effort, but he's also participating in several projects including non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and a deal with FTX.
The deal with FTX also features Brady's wife and international supermodel, Gisele Bündchen. Despite Brady's 20+ years in the NFL, Bündchen is actually the main breadwinner of the family, after being the highest-paid model in the world from 2002 to 2017.
The pair signed a lucrative deal with FTX with Brady becoming a brand ambassador for the crypto exchange while Bündchen heads up FTX's Environmental and Social Initiative. Both also received crypto and equity stake in FTX. On top of the FTX deal, Brady has also signed with Autograph.io to market and sell NFTs bearing his likeness. Brady released his first NFT collection, the "Preseason Access Collection," in August and the entire lot sold out almost immediately.

Q: Tricky situation involving conversion functions? I have run into this situation I find really tricky. I have 2 classes: time12 and time24 which maintain time on a 12 hr and 24 hr basis respectively. Both of them are supposed to have individual conversion functions to handle conversions to the other type. But if I declare time 12 first, then the "time24" in the prototype of the conversion function will be undefined as the time24 class will be declared later. So what do I do now? I can't even only declare it inside and define it after the 2nd class. So now what?
class time12
{
 operator time24()  //time24 is undefined at this stage
 {

 }
};

class time24
{

};

A: You can declare the class without defining it in C++:
class time24;

class time12
{
 operator time24()  //time24 is undefined at this stage
 {

 }
};

class time24
{

};

A: Normally in c++ you have 2 types of files, .h and .cpp. Your .h file is your declaration, and .cpp is your definition.
Example:
convtime.h:
#ifndef CONVTIME_H_ //this is to prevent repeated definition of convtime.h
#define CONVTIME_H_

class time24; //for the operator in class12

class time12
{
public:
    time12(int); //constructor
    operator time24();
private:
    //list your private functions and members here
}

class time24
{
public:
    time24(int); //constructor
private:
    //list your private functions and members here
}

#endif //CONVTIME_H_

convtime.cpp:
#include "convtime.h"

//constructor for time12
time12::time12(int n)
{
    //your code
}

//operator() overload definition for time12
time24 time12::operator()
{
    //your code
}

//constructor for time24
time24::time24(int n)
{
    //your code
}

A: You did not specify a language -
if you are dealing with a dynamic typed language, such as Python, ther eis no such problem -
the other type only need to be known at execution time, when the conversion method is called - not at parse (compile) time - so the following code is valid:
class Time12(Time):
   def toTime24(self):
       return Time24(self._value)

class Time24(Time):
   def toTime12(self):
       return Time12(self._value)

By the time the "toTime24" method is called, the global name "Time24" is defined to be the proper class.
In C++ - you can declare a class stub that works much the same as  function prototype - just do:
class time24;

class time12
{ ... }

class time24
{ ... }

Not shure how this works in other statically typed languages.

Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire
Not to be confused with Rome (TV series) or Rome: Rise and Fall of an Empire.
Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire is a 2006 BBC One docudrama series, with each episode looking at a different key turning points in the history of the Roman Empire. This docudrama focuses on the Latin western half of the Roman Empire.

21 September –
Rome: Rise and fall of an empire
Series Producer Mark Hedgecoe has stated that he made the series in response to previous films that "have tended to ignore the real history and chosen to fictionalise the story."[1]
The series was filmed with the Panasonic SDX 900 DVCPRO50 professional camcorder in widescreen progressive scan mode at 25 frames/s. According to Mark Hedgecoe, a standard definition format was chosen largely because it was more forgiving to focusing errors and required less light than high definition, thus speeding up the shooting. In his opinion, the camera delivered better footage than a Digital Betacam camera, and provided rich, filmic feel, which was well-suited to capturing the gritty reality of the Roman Empire.[2]
The series was co-produced by BBC, ZDF and the Discovery Channel.
BBC History commissioned the online-game CDX to tie-in with the series.[3]
Historical novelist Lindsey Davis writing in The Times points out that "the episodes were produced by different teams" and "it shows," stating episodes 3 and 4 work better than episodes 1, 2, and 5 and although she hasn't seen the final episode, she wants to watch it and she "can't say fairer than that." She compliments the producers who "avoid the talking-heads style, though they use literature and the advice of modern historians," but criticises the series in that "once they fill up with battle and crowd scenes, the formula of self-contained one-hour dramas doesn't give enough scope," and because "we don't see many women in this series." She concludes that "there is pleasing material here," stating, "the filming is good, the dialogue sounds real, the sets work, the military scenes will delight many," but she criticises the decision to not broadcast the episodes in chronological order as, "if they stick with their eccentric programming, we'll be jerked about maniacally," stating, "this is history on the Eric Morecambe principle: all of the moments — but not necessarily in the right order!"[1]
Nancy Banks-Smith writing in The Guardian of episode one was complimentary of Michael Sheen's "storming performance" as Nero, adding that she found it "slightly disturbing" that he "reminded you subliminally of Tony Blair." She was however critical of the docudrama format of "spicy drama sandwiched between simple slices of narrative" which she compared to "watching a play with someone who insists on explaining the obvious," adding that she "got the impression that the narrator was not talking to me at all."[4] Of episode two on Caesar she stated that "the historians have got their chilly mitts on," pointing out that it "was so painstakingly dull that Nero, always a crowd pleaser, had to be shown first."[5]
Sam Wollaston writing in the same publication of episode three compared it to Rome postulating that this series "came about in response to all the mutterings from cross historians about factual inaccuracies in the BBC's grand romp last year." He states that "after some extensive research (I looked up Tiberius Gracchus on Wikipedia), I declare this one to be historically accurate, but also a grand bore." Highly critical of the docudrama format he states that "they never work, either as dramas or as documentaries," and goes on to explain that "there's no proper character development, and you don't care about any of them," before concluding that this "goes to show that sex is more fun than the truth."[6]

Episode two (2006-09-28): 3.6 million viewers (17% audience share).[8]

Episode one: CaesarEdit
This is the story of the most famous Roman of them all, how he risked everything to tear down the government he served and bring revolution to Rome.
—  Alisdair Simpson's opening narration
At the close of the Gallic Wars, Gaius Julius Caesar finds his army encircled by a massive force of Gauls but wins a decisive victory with a brilliant counterattack at the Battle of Alesia. An inspiring speech to his troops, promising to rescue Rome from its corrupt rulers and restore it to its people, raises opposition from Senators Cato and Marcellus. Caesar refuses to disband his army before crossing the Rubicon, plunging the Republic into civil war and turning his deputy Labienus and old friend Pompey against him. Caesar captures Rome unopposed after Pompey is forced to withdraw his vastly outnumbered legions and the senators and people flee.
Caesar seizes the emergency funds from the treasury to fund his campaign, but, failing to pay off his soldiers, is later forced to decimate his own rebellious Ninth Legion. Pompey amasses a huge army in Greece while Caesar leads a one-year campaign against opposition in Spain. In Greece, Caesar is forced to retreat inland by Pompey at the Battle of Dyrrachium but is victorious when the Senators force Pompey into an impetuous attack at the Battle of Pharsalus. Caesar overturns the Republic and has himself made dictator for life (essentially the first emperor), only to be assassinated by rivals just four years into his rule.

Episode two: NeroEdit
This is the story of what happened when the most powerful man on Earth lost his mind and brought the Empire to the brink of destruction.
Nero witnesses the Great Fire of Rome from his villa in Antium and hurries back to the capital to try to control the fire and save lives. Seneca tells him to "rule like the gods" and he vows to build an inspirational city of marble and stone on the ruins. The expense threatens to bankrupt the empire and Tigellinus is sent to rob the temples, turning many in the senate against the emperor. The Pisonian conspiracy to assassinate Nero and have Gaius Calpurnius Piso proclaimed as emperor is revealed, and the conspirators, including the trusted Seneca, are executed.
Nero inaugurates the biggest arts festival in Roman history with himself at the top of the bill. In the furious throes of increasing megalomania he kicks his wife Poppea to death. A now isolated Nero leaves Rome in the hands of the Senate as he sets out on a debauched tour of the empire. With his reconstruction still incomplete as the money runs out, Tigellinus is ordered to initiate a campaign of forced suicide to dispossess the richest men in the empire. A rebellion rises up and the Senate sentences the fleeing Nero to death, his suicide bringing the Julio-Claudian dynasty to an end.

Episode three: RebellionEdit
In the spring of AD 66 Josephus Ben Matitiyahu witnessed one of the greatest rebellions in the history of the Roman Empire.
The First Jewish-Roman War begins when the Jews rise up against their corrupt governor, drive the Romans out of Judea and defeat a counter-attack at the Battle of Beth Horon. The future Emperor Titus is sent to recall his father Vespasian from exile in Greece to lead the legions against the rebels in Galilee. Josephus Ben Matityahu commands the resistance from the city of Jotapata, where many Jews take refuge from Vespasian's campaign of terror. Vespasian leads a three-week Siege of Jotapata and Josephus is captured. Joesephus predicts that Titus is destined to be emperor.
Jerusalem prepares for a final stand under the fanatical Yohanan of Giscala, who murders the more moderate Hanan and unites the rebel factions. Back in Rome the Empire is thrown into chaos when Nero is overthrown and the army turns to Vespasian to be their new Emperor. Titus accomplishes the Siege of Jerusalem by cutting off the city with an encircling wall. Yohanan ignores Josephus's pleas for surrender and leads subterranean attacks on Roman siege towers that undermine his own walls. Titus leads a bloody assault that massacres the rebels and razes the city.

In an age before Rome was ruled by emperors young Tiberius Gracchus had been brought up to respect his father's principles of honour and justice, but in just 20 years he will die defending his father's ideals, murdered by the aristocrats standing behind him, his crime; starting a revolution so powerful it changed Rome forever, setting on the path to its greatest triumphs and worst excesses.
Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus first makes a mark on history winning the golden crown from General Scipio Aemilianus by being first over the wall at the victorious Battle of Carthage. Back in Rome, now the "capital of the world", he finds the growing gap between rich and poor threatening the foundations of the republic. Urged to achieve greatness through further military exploits, he sets out with reinforcements for the campaign of General Gaius Hostilius Mancinus against the rebellious Numantine tribe in Spain but is defeated and forced to negotiate a peace treaty that the Senate later refuses to ratify.
His actions, while repudiated in the Senate, have made him a hero amongst the Roman people and his new father-in-law Senator Appius Claudius Pulcher supports him in a successful campaign to become their Tribune. He snubs the Senate and takes his proposed land reforms directly to the People's Assembly, where his old friend Octavius vetoes them. He brings the city to a standstill when he vetoes all other business in response and has Octavius deposed. Octavius and the Senate spread false rumours that he intends to make himself king and in the ensuing unrest he is murdered.

Episode five: ConstantineEdit
In the autumn of 312 AD Constantine's army was camped 40 miles north of Rome. One of the two emperors in the west, Constantine was preparing for the decisive battle against his rival Maxentius. Travelling with Constantine were members of a growing new religion.
In Rome, the tyrannical Maxentius consults the gods Jupiter, Apollo and Mars to be told that, the enemy of Rome will be defeated, while outside the city Lactantius tries to convince Constantine to convert to Christianity. Constantine initially dismisses Lactantius but, after seeing what appears to be a sign from the Christian god on the eve of the attack, he follows Lactantius' advice to adopt a Christian symbol. The two forces clash at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, where Maxentius is drowned in the Tiber as a bridge collapses and the victorious Constantine rides into Rome under the Christian symbol.
Constantine creates an alliance by marrying his sister Constantia to the Eastern Emperor Licinius, and the two issue the Edict of Milan as a joint decree of religious tolerance. Constantine's rejection of the Pagan gods and funding of St. Peter's Church turns Licinius and the Senate against him. Senator Bassianus' failed assassination attempt on Constantine ignites a holy war between the eastern and the western empires. Constantine defeats his opponent at the Battle of Chrysopolis and the empire is united under the one Christian God at the Council of Nicea.

Episode six: The Fall of RomeEdit
At the start of the 5th century AD Rome was under siege, threatened by a vast army of Goths, forty-thousand of them were poised at the city's gates. Rome was defenceless, even the remnants of its garrisons abandoned their posts. The events that brought Rome to the brink of disaster had their roots in a betrayal two years earlier.
The Roman Empire is under barbarian assault from Huns and Vandals. Emperor Honorius's chief general and adviser Flavius Stilicho has negotiated a treaty with the Goth leaders Alaric and Athaulf, but the Emperor has him executed for conspiracy. Honorius orders Olympius to slaughter all Barbarian families within the Empire and the survivors flee to Alaric's camp. The Goths sweep through Italy to set siege to Rome, trapping the Emperor's sister Galla Placidia within. Senator Atalus rides to the Imperial capital at Ravenna and Honorius agrees to the Goths' demands.
The Goths withdraw but Honorius break the agreement, sending reinforcements to Rome that Athaulf intercepts and eliminates. Alaric speaks directly to the Senate and they elect Atalus as Emperor, but Honorius has Rome's grain supplies cut off and Atalus loses authority. Alaric travels to meet Honorius at Ravenna but is ambushed by his old rival Roman General Sarus, who is beaten into retreat. Alaric finally takes Rome, and captures Galla Placidia. Following Alaric's death, Athaulf marries Galla Placidia and his people finally settle in Southern France.

In an apparent attack on the Leave movement, Juncker said member states of the EU should "say 'no' to unhealthy nationalism" which is "riddled with poison and deceit".
Juncker also called on EU and British negotiators to find a "creative solution" to prevent Brexit causing a hard border in Ireland.
"We respect the British decision to leave our Union, even though we continue to regret it deeply," he said in his speech to the EU parliament in Strasbourg.
"But we also ask the British government to understand that someone who leaves the Union cannot be in the same privileged position as a member state.
"If you leave the union, you are of course no longer part of our single market, and certainly not only in the parts of it you choose."
His comments may inflict more damage to Mrs May's vision for Brexit amid reports around 50 Eurosceptic Tory MPs have met to discuss removing her as PM.
But he paved the way for chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier to secure a deal with the British government, ensuring that the EU Commission will not "stand in the way".
The Tory civil war is back, if it ever really went away. The hostilities that undermined Britain's Conservative party over Europe throughout the 1990s are fully resumed, with all of the bickering, back-stabbing and belligerence.
The latest bout is thanks to Theresa May's Chequers plan for a softer Brexit. Before the summer break, the prime minister hoped to unlock the stalled negotiations with compromise proposals that would keep the UK in the EU's orbit. While progress has been all-but absent in the talks with Brussels, she has faced resignations and disparagement at home.
Those attacks are ramping up. On Tuesday, 50-odd members of the European Research Group of Tory MPs -- a group who desire the hardest of hard Brexits -- met for their regular meeting and devoted the evening to plotting how and when to remove Mrs May.

The harm of the environmental pollution to human beings has become one of the world's most concerned problems. Heavy metal pollution, for instance, has aroused extensive concerns due to their severity and long term harmness. In this paper, the potential value of tea polyphenols in offsetting the heavy metal stress on the growth of maize seedlings was studied by taking chromium pollution as an example. In order to get rid of the interference of other factors in the soil, maize seeds were cultivated in a liquid medium, which contains different concentrations of K_2Cr_2O_7(0、10~(-5)、10-4,mM). When the seeds grew into their three-leaf period, the seedlings were rinsed with clean water to get rid of the heavy metal. Seedlings of each concentration were divided into two groups. The control groups still cultivated seedlings in clean water while the experimental groups kept them in a 0.05% tea polyphenols aqueous solution. After 25 days, physiological parameters of seedlings were measured. At a certain concentration, tea polyphenols could resist chromium stress by increasing SOD activities and POD activities. However, when the chromium concentration exceeded a certain threshold, tea polyphenols lost its function. So the activities of SOD and POD in root and leave increased under the stress of 10~(-5)mM chromium. Under the chromium stress and tea polyphenols repair, the expression of POD's isozymes and SOD's isozymes significantly changed. The current study tested stress induced cell viability of intact leaves of stress treatment and tea polyphenols repair by evans blue method. The results showed that different types of stresses caused leaf and root cell damages to different degrees and microscopic images fully demonstrated the effectiveness of tea polyphenols repair.

Melissa was born in South Florida, spent the better part of her youth wondering around the wilds of natural South Florida where she would draw and paint. She ventured off to Boston where she studied printmaking. While there she spent most of her time at Harvard's natural history museum, the aquarium, and many of Boston' art museums and galleries in these spaces she developed a love for highly detailed organic and botanical art. She started tattooing upon returning to Florida in 2005 and she enjoys doing bright and bold as well as soft and subtle tattoos. Though she loves to tattoo birds, flowers, and all sorts of flora and fauna she finds herself loving almost anything detailed with multiple images to create a story. In her spare time she enjoys science, history, reading, wildlife, antiques, and is terrified of alligators.


In The Value of Literature, Rafe McGregor employs a unique approach – the combination of philosophical work on value theory and critical work on the relationship between form and content – to present a new argument for, and defence of, literary humanism. He argues that literature has value for art, for culture, and for humanity – in short, that it matters. Unlike most contemporary defenders of literary value, the author's strategy does not involve arguing that literature is good as a means to one of the various ends that matter to human beings. It is not that literature necessarily makes us cleverer, more sensitive, more virtuous, more creative, or just generally better people. Nor is it true that there is a necessary relation between literature and edification, clarification, cultural critique, catharsis, or therapy. Rather than offer an argument that forges a tenuous link between literature and truth, or literature and virtue, or literature and the sacred, this book analyses the non-derivative, sui generic value characteristic of literature and demonstrates why that matters as an end in itself.
Rafe McGregor argues for a conception of literary value that avoids the perils of both instrumentalism and formalism; preserving the autonomy of literature, while still maintaining the link to the world. He steers a clear path through a dense thicket, arguing his points with rigour. Whether or not you agree, you will be clearer for having read this book.
Rafe McGregor offers a fresh, compelling vision of literature as having a distinctive value of its own not reducible to the more tractable values of science, psychology or religion. He identifies the roots of this value in the peculiar kinds of experiences that literary works afford when attention to formal artifice is fused with the pleasures of plot and character. He deftly combines analytical reasoning with illuminating literary examples.
Smart, provocative, and engaging, The Value of Literature is a must-read for anyone with an interest in the philosophy of literature. McGregor reinvigorates debates on the cognitive value of literature, the ethical significance of narrative, the aesthetics of appreciation, and the nature of literary value itself. This book is a major achievement.
With his first monograph, The Value of Literature, Rafe McGregor delivers a provocative contribution to the long-standing debate about the nature and source of literary value. … In many ways, The Value of Literature reads like the startof a fascinating journey, with McGregor's throwaway references to 'freedom in literature' offering tantalizing hints at exciting future developments and directions. As he pursues the implications of literary thickness, I look forward to McGregor engaging with those, like Harrison, who share a commitment to humanism but not autonomism; and those, such as Danièle Moyal-Sharrock, who share McGregor's resistance to the literary relevance of truth-orientated cognition, but for whom the value of literature, as Moyal-Sharrock appreciates, nonetheless uniquely 'enhances our understanding of ourselves … and incomparably contributes to the formation of our concepts'. Might not Leopold Bloom and James Joyce concur?
Rafe McGregor is Lecturer in Criminology at Leeds Trinity University and Associate Lecturer in the Centre for Lifelong Learning at the University of York. His publications include papers in the Australasian Journal of Philosophy, Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, British Journal of Aesthetics, The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism, and Orbis Litterarum.

Swiss fairy tale comes to an end
Finns to play for gold
Published 26.04.2015 00:13 GMT+2 | Author Chapin Landvogt
The rematch between Finland and Switzerland at the 2015 U18 Worlds semi-final game went to the Finns, but not without a battle from the Swiss in a 5-4 OT loss.
Finland took the first encounter 3-1 and then continued to handedly shut down every opponent other than Canada, to whom they lost 3-2 in a game that meant little more than 1st or 2nd place in the group. Finishing second pitted them against Slovakia, a nation they beat 3-0 in the quarter-finals to get to this match.
For Switzerland, the tournament had been one that is turning into a Cinderella story. Despite some good hockey, the team needed overtime to defeat Latvia for its only points of the preliminary round, earning themselves a first round match-up against the undefeated Russians. All they did was play far and away their best game and defeat them in a spectacular 5-0 victory. Enhancing it all was when forward Denis Malgin, of Russian decent, was asked where that performance came from. He claimed to have seen a shooting star and made the wish that the Swiss would defeat Russia. By 'Hop Schwiiz', that they did!
Confirming just how important the victory over Russia and entry into the semi-finals was for Swiss hockey, the Brossard Arena was sold out, making the attendance of over 7000 spectators one of the biggest European crowds ever at the U18 Worlds.
"I think our boys have deserved this crowd. They are worth being watched and backed", said an excited Swiss coach, Manuele Celio, about the full house. "I have to thank the press too for backing the boys. They need this support. They brought these people here. We need everyone in this country on board. The press, The fans. The players. Thanks for this enthusiasm here in Zug."
It didn't last long for Finland to open things in the scoring department as super talent Jesse Puljujarvi, only 16 years old, was able to convert a pass from Juuso Valimaki after just 1:15 of play, silencing an enthusiastic crowd.
That crowd, however, picked things up again and clearly served as the seventh man in helping the team push forward. Only three and a half minutes later, Damien Riat tied things up on a play that was assisted by Jonas Siegenthaler and fan-favorite Auguste Impose, bringing the crowd to a state of erruption.
Now playing with the wind in their sails, cheers were earned with every movement towards the Finnish goal, something the Finns appeared to have their hands full with. Just about three minutes before the first period ended, Switzerland took the lead on a Kristian Suleski wrist shot from the blueline, which found its way into the net through a crowd of players in the slot. It was assisted by Switzerland's offensive motor Malgin.
With a crowd feverishly standing behind its Swiss club, the game went back and forth, but a poor clearing attempt by Switzerland saw the puck stay in their zone, leading the Swiss to run around more than necessary. After an enthusiastically blocked shot that got the crowd riled up, a pass from the corner found Patrik Laine alone in front of the net. He pounded in a one-timer and tied things up at two with only 55 seconds to go in the period.
The period ended 2-2 and Finland leading the shot count 9-8.
Things picked up in the physical department in the second period and both teams were busy sending messages to the other. Finland's ever-dangerous power play went to work just two and a half minutes in, but was held scoreless by a Swiss team that constantly got in the way of shots and passes. As soon as that power play had ended, Switzerland went on the power play and almost immediately scored what appeared to be a goal. The referee immediately waved it off, as a Swiss player was being pushed right into Finnish goalie Veini Vehvilainen, the tournament's top statistical netminder, by his own defenseman.
Not able to capitalize there, more opportunities arose for Switzerland as the game continued. At the 13 minutes mark, defenseman Siegenthaler had the puck at the point and a clear view of the goal. He took his time in blasting a shot on goal just as his teammate set a screen, but Vehvilainen was up to the task.
Several minutes later, Riat marched in on goal again and after an effective head twitch that shook the defender, he sent the puck just over the crossbar.
The period ended in hectic array of penalties. First Finland went on the power play with just under two minutes to go. This turned into a 5-on-3 opportunity when Calvin Thurkauf went off for cross-checking. Not able to put the puck into the net, Petrus Palmu then took a penalty for tripping with another 52 seconds to go. And so ended the second period with a 4-on-3 power play situation for Finland.
The score was still 2-2 and Switzerland led 21-19 in the shots department.
At the 17:15 mark, Finland went back on the power play. It didn't last long. Nine seconds into the power play, Finnish forward Aleksi Saarela took a one-time shot on a pass from Joonas Niemela that got by Swiss goalie Joren van Pottelberghe. The audience let its dismay be known as just before the goal, a Swiss player's stick had been swiped out of his hand baseball style by a Finnish player. The lack of a call, and the ensuing goal against, earned the loud ire of the fans.
After several big checks had the crowd up and roaring again, Finland managed to quiet the building when hulking winger Laine once again found the back of the net on a one-timer, this time on a brilliant pass from Puljujarvi, two players who have all the signs of becoming future superstars, perhaps at the NHL level.
Switzerland frantically attempted to get back into the game and picked things up a notch, even if the Finns forced them back on their heels a number of times. The Swiss created several opportunities that nonetheless just didn't end with a good or challenging shot.
Then it happened.
With just under two minutes to play, Nico Hischier tipped in a Siegenthaler shot and Switzerland was back in it with a building that shook the whole town. A quick timeout by Coach Celio gave the team a chance to regroup and focus – and pull the goalie with a faceoff in the Finnish zone and 1:40 to play.
With the building rocking and fans singing, pressure was kept in the Finnish zone until Malgin came out of the corner with the puck, skated behind the net, and dished off a pass to the front of the net, which was knocked in by Riat to tie it at four. In a fan reaction like none the tournament had experienced before, the singing and cheering knew no end. With 40 seconds left to play, the entire crowd was on its feet and cheering on their Swiss heroes.
The game went into sudden death overtime featuring 10 minutes of 4-on-4 play. In an almost unbelievable turn of events, the Swiss went on the power play when Riat skated up ice and had the stick ripped out of his hands by a slash from behind.
A two minutes power play was awarded and the boys went to work. Setting up effectively several times, the Swiss created sustained pressure for a good solid minute, but just couldn't get that final, deadly shot on goal. As the power play came to an end, Saarela came out of the box, blocked a weak shot and then skated up ice one-on-one against an exhausted Siegenthaler. A wrist shot from the left faceoff dot beat van Pottelberghe on the far side.
In a state of stunning shock, the stadium went silent. The Finns raced onto the ice and celebrated their overtime hero.
"This was one of the most incredible games I've ever played in. So many people. Such intensity. To win this game was amazing and we've earned our way to the gold medal game. I am very excited!", said two-goal scorer Laine.
The hometown Swiss team will face Canada for bronze at 3 pm.
"The way the boys fought back from a 4-2 deficit and sent this thing to overtime, it was a huge show of character. In sports, you don't always get what you deserve. Now we need to put this away and get ready for the game tomorrow. Had someone said before the tournament that we'd be playing Canada for the bronze medal, you'd have to have said 'I can't believe it', so we have to bounce back and give it our all", explained coach Celio.
With this victory, Finland will play the USA for the gold medal tomorrow evening at 7 pm.
"Tomorrow we have a chance to do what we came here for - win gold. We were last in the finals nine years ago and this is a big thing. We've been together now as a team for several weeks with our eyes on exactly this game. It will be a great day tomorrow", explained Finland's head coach Mika Marttila.

The attention that you and your staff give to our mother, Yetta Pearl, is the reason why she, at age 96, is still with us today. You may recall that approximately three to four months ago, her primary care physician told us that she had a day or less to live. Yet, through the focused attention and compassion received at Ingleside, she has rebounded to having a quality of life more normal for a person of her age and needs. In fact, you and your staff had inspired such a rebound two or three times over the past 90 to 120 days.
We cannot thank you enough and ask that you express our sentiments to your staff.
You invested a long month into Thelma's life and ours and we will be forever grateful to each of you. Thank you for your warm kindness and gentle hands. We could not have cared for Thelma in her last days without your tender care. Each of you have impressed us with your skill and love for your job and the people you serve, and we've witnessed people doing exactly what they should be doing in life. Thank you for working so hard to usher Thelma into heaven where she runs free in worship to her Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you for your warm loving home and thoughtful hearts. You and your staff took such good care of my Dad and Mom and me. Randy thank you so much for all the encouragement along the way.
Words cannot express my gratitude for the care and support you gave to my mother and I during her last few weeks of life. Even though she had not been at Ingleside for long we were treated as if you had known us for years. Losing my Mom is very difficult but knowing that she passed surrounded by love and dignity and respect gives me great peace of mind. I am sure it is difficult to have hospice coming and going and I appreciate how well you accommodated them.
From the bottom of my heart I thank each and every person there who contributed to my Mom's care and comfort. Moving her to Ingleside was a blessing for which I will forever be grateful. As well as running and efficient business you are providing a rare and valuable service. Please express my gratitude to each member of your staff. You have a great team there and I hope they realize the difference they are making in each of the resident's and their families lives.
I was very impressed with the care you gave my husband Al and am delighted to now be living here myself. I am very pleased with the way the place is run and very impressed with the large variety of activities offered. Well run and well done!
I picked the very best place when I moved in here. This place is beautiful and when I look up and see the trees and the colors, I am a happy old lady, as happy as can be! I love the staff, my room, the food, and the cat that lives here. He is so smart I can see the answers in his eyes!

Q: Floating Twitter Icon on Page Scroll Could you please tell me how this web site managed to do this?
http://weblopedi.net/
There is a Twitter bird floating all around the web page (Not randomly I guess)
When I scroll down, the bird follows me and flies around :)
Is there a pllug-in for it?
Update: I just found it's a Wordpress gadget. But how can I use it on my web site (Not blog)?
Anyway, I'm gonna look at the source code.

A: A quick answer is to set a div or element to absolute position and give it a higher z-index than the rest of the page you want it to float over. Then control it via Javascript on a window scroll event. For example, if using jQuery you could use scrollTop() and have an offset to set the y positioning of the twitter floating bird.
Something like:

Then in Javascript
$(window).scroll(function () {
    var offset = 150;
    var topVal = $(window).scrollTop() + offset;
    $("#BirdDiv").offset({ top: topVal, left: 300 });
});

The Waheela (or Saberwolf) is a cryptid that is described as a large, carnivorous wolf-like creature that makes its home in Alaska as well as the Northwest Territories of Canada. It's body is reported as being extremely muscular and heavily built. It has a wider head than common wolves, overly large feet with wide spaced out toes, long front legs and short hind legs.


We've all heard ministers talk about how they value the NHS and our public services.
Well they have a funny way of showing it.
For more than two decades of Labour, Tory and LibDem governments, privatisation has been on the cards.
In recent years public sector workers have suffered real terms pay cuts.
Local services in Brighton and beyond are under immense strain.
If we're serious about protecting public services, we need to be serious about how we fund them. That's why Caroline is honest about the need for richer people to pay a little more in tax.
It is time for the Government to admit that privatisation has failed on every count.
Caroline wants to put the railways back in public hands. This would save taxpayers more than £1 billion a year and lead to lower fares and better services.
Caroline is passionate about protecting our health service.
A run-down of what I've been up to over the past week.
This is a bumper update of all my activity since 9 July. I won't be posting an update over the summer because Parliament is in recess, so the next one will be in September.

The BigBelly Solar Company Story
BigBelly Solar was founded in 2003 as Seahorse Power Company with a mission to reduce fossil fuel consumption through innovative new approaches to old problems. In the very early days of the company, founder Jim Poss investigated ambitious new approaches to geothermal power plants and offshore wind energy—the nexus of the original company name (horsepower from the sea). While walking down a Boston street one day and observing a trash vehicle in action – idling at a pick up point, blocking traffic, with smoke pouring out of its exhaust, while litter was still prevalent on the street – Poss was struck by the thought (the necessity, really) that there had to be a better way.
In investigating the problem, Poss learned that garbage trucks consume more than 1 billion gallons of diesel each year in the U.S. alone. The vehicles get only 2.8 mpg on average, and they are among the most expensive vehicles to operate. Drawing on this insight, as well as his experience in electric vehicle engineering and an enthusiasm for environmental solutions, Poss formed a new company – one that gave birth to the world's first solar-powered compactor. Over multiple generations of product development, the solar compactor has been engineered to be extremely energy efficient through a series of patent-protected processes that allow the unit to operate with high reliability 24/7/365 in the most difficult environmental climates and latitudes. The success and positive customer reaction to the BigBelly solar compactor was so favorable that we changed the company's name to BigBelly Solar and refocused the company around a central business proposition: saving fuel is environmentally and fiscally sound.
Today, BigBelly Solar is proud to partner with WAXIE Sanitary Supply to offer a complete System to better and more economically manage the process of collecting waste. The BigBelly Solar "Smart Grid for Waste & Recycling™" is an information-centric approach that enables more efficient resourcing decisions. Operating underneath this information umbrella are a series of configurable waste and recycling stations that match capacity to demand . Integrated to this approach is a strong emphasis on recycling – and on freeing up the resources to support the long-term viability of recycling programs.
With more than 12,000 components deployed worldwide, BigBelly Solar is making a significant dent in the wasteful consumption of fossil fuels, saving our customers hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel annually while freeing up thousands of man-hours for other tasks. Our solutions save millions of dollars in aggregate annual budget savings – savings that allow customers to close budget gaps, avoid layoffs of teachers and public safety workers, and continue to provide a high quality of life to their citizens and visitors.

Drivers making their way to campus from western Dearborn will have a few more road closures to keep in mind while the Wagner Place project remains under construction.
Wagner Place, the $60 million project along Michigan Avenue near Monroe Street, is expected to be completed this coming summer. With its construction will come retail businesses and restaurants on the street level, a rooftop patio, offices for up to 600 Ford employees and a renovated Wagner Hotel.
While the construction has been a sign of growth for downtown Dearborn, it has also caused problems for drivers in one of the city's most high-traffic areas.
Monroe Street has been blocked off between West Village Drive and Michigan Avenue for construction for months.
New utility work will force the closure of West Village Drive from Nigosian Rug Co. to the Dearborn Wig Shop. Monroe will be closed from Park Street to Michigan Avenue.
Michigan Avenue's lane shift in the eastbound lanes will continue near the site according to the city. The lane shifts have eliminated left turns onto Mason, Monroe and Oakwood until the project is completed.
Wagner Place is expected to be completed in summer 2018, at which point the roads are expected to reopen.
