In addition to the sea, Tortoreto offers its visitors various clubs and resorts on the beach, numerous festivals, town celebrations and the opportunity to discover the history and culture of Abruzzo: the 'Region of the Parks' (actually, over 30% of its territory is protected by environmental protection laws).
A stay in Tortoreto is also an opportunity to immerse yourself in the landscape, culture and history of the hinterland. Abruzzo, a strong and wild but at the same time gentle land, offers tourists true historical and naturalistic monuments.
Campli is located on a hill between the valleys of the streams Fiumicino and Siccagno. Rich in architectural monuments that make it a real town of art, Campli is home to a section of the National Archaeological Museum which houses the remains of the Necropolis of Campovalano. A beautiful example of medieval architecture is the Parliamentary Building which later became Palazzo Farnese, in front of the Cathedral of S. Maria in Platea dating back to the 14th century, with its Romanesque bell tower. Another famous place is the Scala Santa (Holy Stair), which got this name after 1776, due to the widespread custom of granting indulgence to those who walked on it on their knees.
Located just below the peaks of Mount Camicia, Castelli is one of the most important tourist destinations in Abruzzo. It is home to famous ceramist masters who served the kings of Naples and the princely houses of Rome. Mainly known for its artisan workshops, Castelli has been renamed "the town of ceramics" and owes its fame to this art, whose origins date back to the 13th century. Since then, in this small, but characteristic village at the foot of Gran Sasso, this fine art has been handed down from father to son.
Atri was a city of great prestige in the ancient world, since the 11th and 12th centuries b.C. It was the only town on the Adriatic coast to mint coins before Rome, besides being an important trade centre, thanks to its port on the Adriatic Sea, hence the thesis that the name of the same sea derives from the ancient Hatria. In Roman times it fought alongside Rome in the wars against Hannibal. The city lived its period of maximum splendour under the Dukes of Acquaviva. The glorious past of Atri is testified by the archaeological finds scattered throughout the surrounding territory.
The fortress of Civitella del Tronto is one of the most impressive military engineering works in Italy: it stretches for more than five hundred metres in length on a rocky ridge. All its brilliant history is linked to the strategic position it held, for a few centuries, as a stronghold to defend the northern borders of the various Neapolitan realms. The fortress and the connected village suffered more sieges, but history mainly remembers the unfortunate defense against the Sardinian Piedmontese army in 1860/61, which ended with the surrender on March 20th, 1861, when the last Bourbon stronghold gave up the fight aginast the nascent unification of Italy.
Through the millennia, religiosity in Abruzzo has concretized its expressions of devotion in some great sanctuaries. The most important one, which welcomes more than two million faithful every year, is located at the foot of Gran Sasso and is dedicated to a young Passionist Saint. His name is San Gabriele dell'Addolorata. The fame of this saint exploded in 1892, when his mortal remains were exhumed and the first glorious prodigies took place on his grave. In 1920 he was proclaimed a saint and in 1959 Pope John XXIII declared him patron saint of Abruzzo.
Not far from Civitella del Tronto, it is possible to go hiking in the Salinello Gorges. A natural environment that combines history, culture and nature between the two slopes of Monti Gemelli: Montagna di Campli and Montagna dei Fiori. The maker of this natural monument was the stream Salinello which, acting on the entire mountain for millions of years, has created a "gorge". This is several kilometres long, about 200 metres high and of variable width from no more than 5 metres to tens of metres, thus originating waterfalls, caves and cavities.
Abruzzo boasts one of the most extensive and precious protected areas in Europe, the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park. Here, the millenarian work of man has integrated harmoniously into a superb environmental context, and it has further enriched it. Wild nature rich in forests, springs, waterfalls, prairies, plateaus, vertiginous ridges and rocky walls, populated by many species of fauna and flora typical of this area, in addition to the most representative animals of the Apennines such as wolf, Abruzzo chamois, bear, golden eagle and short-toed eagle. The territory of the Park is actually a "European biodiversity monument".
It was 1557, on 22nd April, when a farmer, Bertolino, while was gathering wood, saw a bright light with the smiling Virgin who asked him to announce the community the most beautiful news: the Mother of God had chosen the Julian town to be honored with the construction of a sanctuary. As proof of the miracle, a source of pure water gushed out at the foot of an olive tree and still exists today. If you go to the village, you can visit the source of miracle and mark your forehead with its holy water, so that you can be blessed by Our Lady.
Ascoli Piceno's town centre is full of civil and religious buildings dating back to the Middle Ages.
The magnificent Piazza del Popolo is overlooked by some of the most important places, among which Palazzo dei Capitani del Popolo (XIII century), the historic Caffè Meletti, the church of San Francesco (XIII-XVI century) and the Loggia dei Mercanti.
Piazza Arringo, the oldest in Ascoli, is also worth a visit, with the baptistery of San Giovanni, the cathedral of Sant'Emidio – duomo of the city, dedicated to the patron saint – the Episcopal palace and Arengo palace, home to the civic art gallery.
Last but not least, there is the church of San Vincenzo and Anastasio (XI-XIV centuries), with its façade divided into squares, and the church of Sant'Emidio alle Grotte (18th century).


Look at her now! Marjorie Jackson, who was once in a short-lived courtship with Counting On star Josiah Duggar, apparently went and shot a gun in jeans and heels for her birthday, according to a photo she shared to Instagram. Can you imagine a Duggar girl going out shooting in jeans before they're legally wed? Blasphemy! Watch the video above to see what she posted and don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube Channel.
People in the comments definitely took notice of how bada— Marjorie looks in the shot. "Ooh and she's doing it in her heels! 🙌🏽😂" one person wrote. Another said, "LOVE ❤ this picture. Don't mess with HER😆👍🤓." Agreed!
19 Kids and Counting and Counting On fans may recall that Josiah, 22, and Marjorie, 21, ended their courtship just four months after confirming it. The official Duggar family Facebook account shared in a statement in August 2015, "Both Josiah and Marjorie have enjoyed getting to know each other and to build their friendship over the past months. We are so grateful that they each are seeking the Lord's will for their future. A few weeks ago Marjorie and Josiah agreed to end their courtship, keeping in step with what they believe the Lord's will is. Both are thankful for the time getting to know each other, and their families continue to enjoy each other's company and close friendship." AKA, one of them probably dumped the other one, and our money's on Josiah gettin' dumped.
Honestly, it really seems like Marjorie dodged a bullet by not getting married off and joining the Duggar family. She's written and illustrated two books, gone to college to study graphic design, and traveled the world. Chances are, if she'd married Josiah years ago, she might not have accomplished all of that. Keep living it up, Marjorie!


All she wants to do is make a movie.
M.I.A. has more records than the KGB. She also has a documentary about her life courtesy of director Steve Loveridge, whose account of her life and career premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. Born Maya Arulpragasam, the musician and activist best known for songs like "Paper Planes" and "Bad Girls" has courted acclaim and controversy in nearly equal measure over the last 10 years. Watch the trailer for "Matangi/Maya/M.I.A." below.
After premiering at Sundance, where it won the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award, the film went on to screen at New Directors/New Films, Hotdocs, and Berlinale, among others. Cinereach and Abramorama will release "Matangi/Maya/M.I.A." on September 28.

The Power of Your One Thing
by: Eric Geiger
Over forty-five years ago, László Polgár was a published author and believer in the theory that genius is made, not born. He was convinced that early and intense specialization in a particular subject produces incredible results. But he wanted to test this theory personally. He wanted a wife with whom he could partner to raise kids radically committed to one thing. He married Klara, and when their firstborn daughter Susan was four, she discovered a chess set while rummaging through a cabinet. Susan's interest was piqued, so the family decided to focus on chess.
Chess would become their one thing.
Neither László nor Klara were strong chess players. Klara did not know one chess rule when the board was discovered. But László began to practice chess with great intentionality and intensity with his daughter Susan and the two daughters to follow. László fought for permission from the Hungarian authorities for the right to homeschool his daughters, and hours each day were devoted to chess. Their apartment in Budapest was filled with thousands of books on chess and a file card system that allowed them to evaluate previous matches.
The results of the deliberate practice are incredible. Susan, at the age of 21, became the world's first female grandmaster in chess. Judit, the youngest daughter, is known as the greatest female chess player in history. And Sophia, the middle daughter, was once ranked the sixth strongest female player in the world.
At least two thoughts emerge from reading their remarkable story:
1) There is power in focusing on one thing.
When there is one overarching passion that drives a person, an organization, or a ministry, the clarity is liberating. Decisions are made in light of the one thing. Schedules reflect the priority of the one thing. And the energy focused in one direction makes a major impact.
For a local church, the main thing must be the person and work of Jesus. I love what Tim Keller says in Center Church: "Because the gospel is endlessly rich, it can handle the burden of being the one 'main thing' of a church."
2) He is the only "one thing" that will satisfy.
Many believe that the middle daughter, Sophia, had the ability to be the best, but she did not work as hard at the game as the other two. For a season, however, the game would not leave her alone. She was obsessed with it. Her father once found her in the bathroom in the middle of the night with a chessboard balanced across her knees. "Sophia, leave the pieces alone!" her father said, shaking his head. "Daddy, they won't leave me alone!" she replied. But in the end, other things captured her heart. She said, "It's not that chess was too much for me; it was too little."
Whatever our "one thing" is, it won't leave us alone. Whatever or whoever is our god ultimately owns us. And if we allow something other than Him to be our one thing, we are attempting to allow a lesser thing to satisfy us. We are wise if we realize that the things of this world are not too much for us but too little. They are not too great. They are not great enough.

Inhaling a taste of the Middle East.
Rob Mackdonald exhales slowly, a cloud of thick smoke unfurling as he passes the hose to his right. Next to him, a friend blows smoke rings into the heavy air, each hazy circle dissolving as it falls softly onto the thick carpet.
"How're you guys doing? Is it getting a little harsh?" asks Gina Ramos, co-owner and manager of the Hubbly Bubbly. Shisha, a molasses and tobacco mixture used in hookahs, burns when it cooks too long, filling the lungs with harsh, dry smoke. Ramos blows through the hose after clearing the bowl, pushing stale smoke into the room. When she inhales again, fresh smoke fills the hookah's chamber.
Behind her, a row of hookahs for sale sparkle in low overhead light. Original paintings by local artist Cody Zachow hang on the walls behind sheer curtains, depicting colorful women and trippy, abstract scenes.
The Hubbly Bubbly is a sister to a much larger retail store in Spokane. But in Washington, hookah lounges aren't common or even entirely legal. Indoor smoking regulations, according to Ramos, made opening a bar in Spokane next to impossible. That's why the Hubbly Bubbly decided to cross the border into Coeur d'Alene to open a hookah bar while maintaining its retail store in the NorthTown Mall.
For more than three years, the Hubbly Bubbly in Coeur d'Alene has been one of the only operating hookah lounges in the North Idaho area. For Idahoans, the lounge is a bit of a cultural treat, an oddity. But for many in the Middle East, smoking is just part of the culture.
"It's a part of a culture in the Middle East, in northern Africa. To them, alcohol is the poison. This is what they do instead. Sit down, play cards, smoke hookah,'' Ramos said.
The most popular flavor at the Hubbly Bubbly? A fruity mixture of cantaloupe and fuzzy navel. You can even smoke your shisha out of a grapefruit instead of a traditional ceramic bowl. The Hubbly Bubbly exclusively serves washed tobacco as well, a cleaner alternative to other shishas.


The youngsters in the Indian cricket team lack "grace and humility" when they celebrate victory, feels former South African coach Mickey Arthur.
Arthur has recalled a 2008 series against the Indians and criticised their celebrations after notching up a series-levelling win.
"The behaviour of the (Indian) younger players in the aftermath of victory was absolutely extraordinary," Arthur wrote as he reminisced about the third and final Test in Kanpur in 2008 in which the home side tied the series.
"It's hard to control your emotions at the moment of triumph and in the immediate aftermath of a Test victory because so much emotional and physical effort goes into it.
"But four or five minutes later it's important to acknowledge that your vanquished opponents have also expended a lot of effort, and that it takes two teams to produce a contest," he added.
"But the youngsters simply couldn't calm down, and seemed to work themselves up into an ever-greater state of delirium the more they tried to rub our noses in defeat," he said.
Arthur said he asked the South Africa team to take a lesson out of the exercise.
"I asked as many players as I could to watch the commotion, rather than to avert their eyes and to remember it the next time we played," Arthur said.

Globalisation Case Study – Thailand
The Impact of Globalisation to Thailand and its Environmental Consequences
From 1960 to 1996: A period of Industrialisation leading to High and Stable growth
Globalisation in Thailand dated back as early as the 1960s when the Thai government announced the first Five-Year Plan which tried to industrialize its agrarian economy through import-substitution policy. During the 1970s and 80s, import substitution was replaced with policies to boost exports. Along with the early policy of foreign trade and exchange liberalization, Thailand??™s economic structure became an export-led which diversified into chemicals, textiles, electronics, iron and steel, and minerals by drawing on relatively abundant and inexpensive labour and natural resources. Overall, Thailand took substantial advantage of globalization through international trade and foreign investment which underlay its economic success in the years up to 1997. From 1960 to 1996, the average real GDP growth per annum was a respectable 6.6% which well reflected Thailand??™s three decades of strong performance.

1997 Asian Financial Crisis: Negative Impact of Globalisation
Prior to 1997 Thailand??™s open financial policy managed its economy with a pegged exchange rate to the U.S dollar that effectively reduced transaction costs associated with exchange rate volatility. It allowed Thailand to experience rapid growth with massive amount of capital flows which came in the form of foreign direct investment. Nonetheless, the potential downside of such policy appeared to be overlooked by the government, which led Thailand expose to a capital market that relied heavily on external investment and hot money. In 1997, the ???Asian Financial Crisis??? was triggered in Thailand due to a loss of foreign investors??™ confidence in the ability to service their financial debts. On 2nd July, Thailand??™s local currency was hit by massive speculative attacks when currency speculators and many Thai residents sold their baht and buy the US dollar, causing capital flight out of the country. Thailand experienced a sharp capital outflows accounting for 13% of GDP and the government was forced to change its monetary policy to float the baht which resulted in rapid exchange rate depreciation that even deepened the economic crisis. Furthermore, due to the integrated and deregulated nature of world financial markets, Thailand??™s crisis was immediately transmitted to its neighbouring countries such as Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia and Philippines through the phenomenon of contagion, which refers to the spread of economic downturn from one economy to another region that is highly integrated with.
The International Monetary Fund immediately responded to the Asian Financial Crisis by instructing Thailand to adopt a series of structural adjustment policies which involved cutting government spending to reduce deficits and aggressively raising interest rates to stem exchange rate depreciation. However, the IMF did not achieve a very positive outcome as the SAP is a recessionary policy that even worsened Thailand??™s economic downturn.
From 2001 to 2006: Recovery from Asian Financial Crisis
Since then, the Thai government proceeded to recover its economy by stimulating domestic demand and reducing Thailands reliance on foreign trade and investment. The monetary policy implemented was based on floating exchange rate with a low interest rate environment which was closely monitored with inflation rate and exchange rate reserve, thus boosting domestic demand to supplement the strategy of export-led growth. This effectively brought about Thailand??™s economic recovery from the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis as Thailand was able to repay its debts to the IMF 2 years ahead of schedule.
Furthermore, Thailand??™s economic structure is refined by embracing a ???dual track??? policy that combined domestic stimulus with traditional promotion of open markets and foreign investment. Thailand has continued to be an active participant in the global trade liberalization process through various trading blocs, such as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC) and the Association of South East Asian Nations group (ASEAN), and is now in the process of developing free trade agreements and closer economic cooperation with countries across the world. For instance, the recent signing of bilateral trade agreements with Australia and New Zealand will allow Thailand to further achieve the benefits of free trade including higher economic growth and living standard and more efficient allocation of resources. Moreover, Thailand is actively negotiating bilateral agreements with USA and Japan, in the hope of getting equal access to these more powerful economies and thus benefit from their strong economic performance.
According to the Asian Development Bank report, Thailand??™s economic growth has averaged 6.2% between 2002 and 2004 but slowing down to 4.5% in 2005. Still, this performance was remarkable, in particular helping Thailand to quickly recover from the tsunami which battered tourism industry in the southwest of the country. At the same time, the government??™s dual track policy took effect as domestic consumption remained a major contributor to GDP growth adding 3.4 %. While investment only accounted 2.9% and net export contracted to 2.1%, this however indicated that Thailand??™s economy has entered into a healthier and more balanced stage without relying solely on export and foreign investment.

Environmental Consequences
Globalisation has also fostered massive environmental problems to Thailand??™s local environment as the country actively engages in global economic activities to gain export revenue and become industrialized. The escalating number of fishing firms has resulted in the disappearance of almost half of the coastal mangrove area by 1993. Tourism development has also devastated coral reefs and other fragile ecosystems. In 1997, the effects of the Asian Financial Crisis were mixed, as a fall in production and consumption led to less pollution. However, spending by firms and state agencies on pollution control and natural resource management also fell dramatically. In addition, the financial crisis fuelled encroachment upon illegal logging and mining in a search for income. By 2003, half of the Thailand??™s forest has been removed and a third of the surface water became unsafe for consumption.

When you think of the best Praxis Physical Education study guide, what comes into your mind first?
Do you think a 500 page Praxis test study guide will help you pass? Do you think of supergluing those flashcards to your hands so that you have no choice but to study for you upcoming exam?
Or, in some cases, do you prefer not to think about preparing for your test at all?
No matter which Praxis Physical Education test prep scenario categorizes you, it's easy to see why you're getting so frustrated with your test preparation. After all, they encompass two extremes. On one hand, you've got your test takers who's been studying so much that they could practically recite Praxis Physical Education practice test questions in their sleep. On the other hand, you've got someone who's so intimidated by the test that they can't bear to even think about it.
Either end of the spectrum is no fun to be in – and if you find yourself there, you need to get out, pronto!
……Then what Praxis Physical Education test practice techniques should you use to pass and get your teacher certification?
The following Praxis Physical Education study methods are highly targeted to this specific exam. However, many people have achieved a passing score applying them to the Praxis Chemistry, Social Studies, Math, Elementary Education and others.
Take a look at any industry, and you'll see that we're making a move towards smaller and sleeker objects.
We can get laptops that weigh less than a paperback book. You can buy a car that's one-fourth the size of an SUV. Heck, our televisions have become so thin, we can hang it up on the wall and watch as our friends mistake it for a painting.
So why are you still using Praxis Physical Education practice exams and prep books that are as outdated as dinosaurs?
Did you notice your Praxis Physical Education book changed the copyright, but not the material in it?
You need to get Praxis Physical Education practice questions and study materials that look like the real exam.
…You just need these golden test hints and tips!
I know you've been told to guess on the Praxis Physical Education before, but too many test takers still leave their answer choices blank. So in an effort to drive this point home, let me do a little math here. If you have 40 blank answers left, and you manage to eliminate two answer choices for each question (which is super easy, by the way) before you guess, you'll get, on average, a whopping 20 answers correct. And that's without even trying!
…So don't let this happen to you!

Mortgage can be describe as any legal agreement that allows people to take loans from loaning organizations such as banks at an interest to buy land or properties. Mortgages are one of the many options available to buy homes, land or properties. Most mortgagees taken mortgages to buy homes.
A few types of mortgages include buy to let mortgages, interest-only mortgages, repayment mortgages, offset mortgages, flexible mortgages and fixed mortgages. The reason mortgages are popular when purchasing new homes is that they remove the need to have all the money at the moment of buying the house. Furthermore, mortgages are a better choice for most people because their payment form comes in monthly installments that are not expensive for the new home buyers.
Mortgages enable people to make very large purchases that they wouldn't be capable of if these companies didn't exist, this often attracts a lot of people. Mortgage loans could be used to buy assets to be used in business hence, making extra money for the mortgagee.
Taking up of a new loan to replace the one you are operating under is what is referred to as refinancing a loan. Reasons such as saving money, reduced loan terms, consolidating of debts, changing of loan types are among the reasons people choose to refinance their loans. Refinancing Your Mortgage is similar to refinancing a loan only in this case the mortgagee does it to get lower interest rates.
The mortgage company has thrived in overseas countries where there are a lot of customers and the economy is strong. However in recent years, countries like Kenya have started to notice the rise of this business as its pros are very appealing. Another pro of using mortgages is that experts are available to advice the new home buyers before they take any type of mortgage. If a home buyer misses out on advice from experts and the loan becomes too hard to pay, then they have the choice of refinancing the loan as talked about earlier. Know more about Purchasing a new home here!
Mortgage companies also have systems in place to protect their interest and prevent them from being bankrupt when some customers differ from their agreement. These companies also have experts under their paycheck responsible for advising customers on what type of mortgage would best suit their needs.
Some banks have partnered together with people from rural areas to put up better and decent housing under some special mortgage products. Another point that makes mortgages a better option is that the grace period offered by banks and financial institutions is more than enough for payments to be met.

It is no secret that the IPA is the poster child for the American craft beer renaissance. Nearly every craft brewery and brew pub has an IPA in its core lineup, many have a couple more. The IPA is the macro beer drinkers gateway into the full flavored world of craft beer.
While it was originally created by the British to survive the long sea voyages to India (the additional hops were added as a preservative to combat the less than favorable storage conditions of the ships hulls), it has been American craft brewers that have claimed the IPA as its own, and made it the most popular craft style. Then in good ol' American fashion they took something that was already great and pushed it to its bigger and stronger.
The Hop Review loves all beer, from pale ales and IPAs to stouts and porters. But what about Schwarzbier, Gose and Scotch Ales? There are countless styles that are little known, misconstrued, or in the very least worth exploring. And that is exactly what we are going to do. With each post we will explore a style's unique history, characteristics and vitals; not to mention offer a few suggestions for each style – from old world classics to new world interpretations. First up: Oktoberfest.

MPAA Rating: PG for action/peril, some scary moments and brief rude humor. Running time: 117 minutes. Released by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
Watching Steven Spielberg's adaptation of The BFG, you can't help but wonder if this is what a Harry Potter movie would have looked like had he taken the reins on one of the films from that series. There's a great deal of wild whimsy from Roald Dahl's original novel which Spielberg so capably brings to the screen, and there's more than enough magic to go around. It's a wondrous tale of giants, dreams, love, and bullies, with loads of good morals and values for the kids.
For all its wonder and splendor, The BFG feels oddly rushed. "Rushed" may not be the term I'm looking for, though; "glossed over" might hit it a bit more on the head, but that's not quite it. You see, this tale about insomniac orphan Sophie (Ruby Barnhill) and the Big Friendly Giant (hereafter referred to as BFG, played by a motion-captured Mark Rylance) she meets and accompanies on adventures tends to spend overlong time in scenes designed to captivate and delight. Which, you know, would be fine if it was balanced by the characters acknowledging their faults or why they work well together.
Instead, The BFG goes and goes and goes without much room to breathe or to fully appreciate the depth of both Sophie and BFG's souls. These two kindred spirts get tossed about by giants and nature alike, yet manage not to see how much one needs the other in their lives going forward until a forced moment before the big battle scene. It's the Spielbergian moment that comes with every one of his films meant to arouse your emotions and wish for better things for the two of them, but it winds up being just as glossed over as the rest of the movie.
For instance: what's the history of the conflict between BFG and the uncivilized, unwashed, and dunce-like giants who live in the valley below his front door? Why do they care what he does or doesn't do? Is it merely because BFG is a runt of a giant, being only the size of one of these behemoth's arms? And why does lead giant Fleshlumpeater (motion-captured Jemaine Clement) hate BFG so? Or are they merely meant to set a parallel to schoolyard bullies?
We're not intended to know histories and backgrounds; we're meant to sit back and enjoy a friendship being built on trust and magic, which is The BFG's aim. Cute moments abound with the interactions between BFG and Sophie, and that's really what we're here to see, right? It's amusing and touching in all the right spots, and The BFG does its family-film duty well. This is no desaturated film like Spielberg's Minority Report or War of the Worlds; it's as colorful as you can hope for, with all the requisite joy and vividness you'd expect.
Mark Rylance's performance is absolutely stunning; he maintains an air of joyful mischief beneath the codger-like gruffness. It's a gruffness that's not gruff, per se, but more matter-of-fact combined with a bit of a grandfatherly tone. Balancing him out is newcomer Ruby Barnhill, whose natural acting carries The BFG well and makes for a hell of a debut. She's got a little bit of the best of former Spielberg first-timers like Henry Thomas from E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and Amber Scott from Hook, with more than enough of her own spark which enables her to bounce well off of BFG and create her own memorable character.
It's hard not to recommend The BFG for family viewing, and I have no intention of doing so; this review was meant to air some of my questions I had with the film. The BFG is as Steven Spielberg as Spielberg gets, creating a magic and an esprit you don't see or get from anywhere or anyone else. We've seen others try to capture this kind of spirit, but without Spielberg at the helm, Janusz Kamiński's 3D-worthy photography, and John Williams providing the lush, bouncy score to match The BFG's visuals, they're only pretenders to the throne.

Emergency services are still working to free a driver trapped in a truck which collided with another truck on SH1 at Tokoroa between Main Road and Galaxy Road.
The crash happened at 3.55pm today. The trapped driver has critical injuries and the driver of the other truck has suffered minor injuries.
The road will be blocked for some hours while the trucks are moved off the road with a heavy haulage crane.
Motorists are asked to avoid the area until the scene is cleared and observe all diversions which may be in place. There will be delays.


Yesterday, we reported on the sale of Cowboy.com to a Belgian bike startup.
The company has created a new type of electric bike for urban areas.
By acquiring the domain Cowboy.com, the company upgraded from the matching dot .Bike gTLD.
It's not coincidental that they received $3 million in seed funding, but the domain's acquisition cost won't be breaking their bank account, apparently.
While we were confident this would have been a six figure sale, it wasn't.
Sedo that handled the sale, informed us that Albert Schimmel facilitated the brokerage, for a total of $70,000 dollars.

SHREVEPORT, La. – Coming into the contest Sunday afternoon (September 9), the Gents and Mountaineers have gone to overtime in five of the last eight meetings. Why would Sunday be any different?
But unlike those five overtime games, this game was the first to end in a tie as Centenary (1-2-1, 0-1-1 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference) drew a scoreless tie against Schreiner (1-2-1, 0-0-1 SCAC) at CE Byrd High School.
Neither team managed a shot on target in the first half, but the Gents took control of the game early in the second half. In the 50th minute, sophomore Gin Pau put the first shot on target of the game, but it was saved by the Schreiner defense. A corner kick in the 51st minute yielded a senior Nick Hammond shot on goal, but again the shot was saved. Pau, Hammond, and junior Scott Halper followed with shots on goal as Centenary quickly moved ahead on shots, 5-4.
Schreiner managed a shot on goal in the first overtime and Centenary in the second, but neither team found the back of the net.
Pau, Hammond, and Halper all led Centenary with two shots on goal each. Nic Blake led the Mountaineers with five total shots, two of which were on target.
Centenary freshman goalkeeper Sami Borchalli saved all seven shots faced for his first collegiate shutout. Schreiner saved all seven shots faced, including six by goalkeeper Brandon Anselmi.
The Gents conclude their three-game home stand Tuesday, September 11, when they host Dallas. Kickoff is scheduled for 5 p.m.


This is now my official my go-to French toast recipe. It is sooooo good! I guess I forgot about eating French toast for breakfast, because I haven't had it in several years. Pancakes and waffles seem to always overshadow french toast, and they shouldn't.
This recipe, from Tastes Better From Scratch is super easy, and takes just minutes to whip up. It's so easy, you can do it holding a baby in your arms (just Harper lol).
Whisk together eggs, milk, flour, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla.
Dip both sides of the bread in the egg mixture.
In a skillet or griddle set over medium heat, cook the french toast on both sides until it is golden brown.
Don't forget the maple syrup and fresh fruit!
Mmmmm. Sooo good! I seriously may eat this for breakfast every day of the week, especially if Harper has a vote.
She absolutely loved it. I think we all get in a rut of eating the same foods over and over, and both Harper and I enjoyed a delicious change.
At her age, I still chop up her foods in pea-sized bites, but she was so excited, she reached across and grabbed a slice and stuffed it in her mouth! I had to pull it out because she looked like she was attempting the chubby bunny (stuffing as many marshmallows as you can in your mouth!) haha.
Love that little french toast, blackberry-covered face!
Preheat griddle or skillet over medium heat. Grease well with butter or nonstick spray.
Add all ingredients, except the bread, to a shallow dish and whisk well to combine. Dip bread slices into the egg mixture, coating both sides, and place on the hot griddle.
Cook for a few minutes on both sides, until golden brown.
Serve warm, sprinkled with powdered sugar, pure maple syrup, and fresh fruit if desired.

Q: Website form not submitting data to mssql database I have spent days trying to figure how to get form data on my webpage to insert into my employee table on the forklift database mssql. when i click submit on the form it refreshes the page with Connection established but no data in the database.
<?php

/* Connect using Windows Authentication. */

$serverName = "EXAMPLE";
$connectionOptions = array("Database"=>"FORKLIFT");

/* Connect using Windows Authentication. */
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionOptions);

{
echo "Connection established.
";
}

else

{
echo "Connection could not be established.
";
die(print_r(sqlsrv_errors(), true));

}

if(empty($_POST) === false && empty($errors)=== true)

{
//assign form input to variables
$FIRSTNAME = $_POST["FIRSTNAME"];
$LASTNAME = $_POST["LASTNAME"];
$DATEOFBIRTH = $_POST["DATEOFBIRTH"];
$PHONENUMBER = $_POST["PHONENUMBER"];
$ADDRESS = $_POST["ADDRESS"];

/*Insert data.*/
$INSERT_ROW = $query = "INSERT INTO
EMPLOYEE(FIRSTNAME,LASTNAME,DATEOFBIRTH,PHONENUMBER,ADDRESS)
VALUES ('$FIRSTNAME','$LASTNAME','$DATEOFBIRTH','$PHONENUMBER','$ADDRESS')";

$result = sqlsrv_prepare($conn,$query)or die('Error querying MSSQL
database');
        sqlsrv_execute($result);
}

?>

HTML

        <form name="submit" action="employee.php" method="POST" >

                 FIRSTNAME

                    <input type="text" name="FIRSTNAME" id="FIRSTNAME"/>

                 LASTNAME

                    <input type="text" name="LASTNAME" id="LASTNAME"/>

                 DATE_OF_BIRTH

                 <input type="submit" name="submit" value="REGISTER"/>

A: I made a couple of minor alterations but cannot test to see - run it and see what the resultant sql statement looks like. I hope it helps.
<?php
    if( !empty( $_POST ) && isset( $_POST["FIRSTNAME"], $_POST["LASTNAME"], $_POST["DATE_OF_BIRTH"], $_POST["PHONENUMBER"], $_POST["ADDRESS"] ) ) {

        /*
            There is no point creating a db connection if a later condition fails
            so create the db conn after testing key variables are set
        */

        $server = "EXAMPLE";
        $options = array( "Database"=>"FORKLIFT" );

        $conn = sqlsrv_connect( $server, $options );

        /* In production environment do not display actual errors! */
        if( !$conn ) die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true ) );

        /* as pointed out by @Daniel Rutter, the field is actually called `DATE_OF_BIRTH` */
        $FIRSTNAME = $_POST["FIRSTNAME"];
        $LASTNAME = $_POST["LASTNAME"];
        $DATEOFBIRTH = $_POST["DATE_OF_BIRTH"];
        $PHONENUMBER = $_POST["PHONENUMBER"];
        $ADDRESS = $_POST["ADDRESS"];

        $sql = "INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE
            ( FIRSTNAME,LASTNAME,DATEOFBIRTH,PHONENUMBER,ADDRESS )
                VALUES
            ( '$FIRSTNAME','$LASTNAME','$DATEOFBIRTH','$PHONENUMBER','$ADDRESS' )";

        /* Comment out the following line after running the script and observing the output here */
        exit( $sql );

        /* I assume that `sqlsrv_prepare` returns either true or false */
        $stmt = sqlsrv_prepare( $conn, $sql ) or die( 'Error querying MSSQL database' );

        if( $stmt ) sqlsrv_execute( $stmt );

    /* debug post vars */
    } else { echo 'Error::' . print_r($_POST,true ); }
?>

Having briefly had a look at the online PHP manual for the various sqlsrv_* commands perhaps you ought to try along these lines - it follows closely with one of the examples given - though it is untested due to not having a mssql server instance to play with.
<?php
    if( !empty( $_POST ) && isset( $_POST["FIRSTNAME"], $_POST["LASTNAME"], $_POST["DATE_OF_BIRTH"], $_POST["PHONENUMBER"], $_POST["ADDRESS"] ) ) {

        /*
            There is no point creating a db connection if a later condition fails
            so create the db conn after testing key variables are set
        */

        $server = "EXAMPLE";
        $options = array( "Database"=>"FORKLIFT" );

        $conn = sqlsrv_connect( $server, $options );

        /* In production environment do not display actual errors! */
        if( !$conn ) die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true ) );

        $FIRSTNAME = $_POST["FIRSTNAME"];
        $LASTNAME = $_POST["LASTNAME"];
        $DATEOFBIRTH = $_POST["DATE_OF_BIRTH"];
        $PHONENUMBER = $_POST["PHONENUMBER"];
        $ADDRESS = $_POST["ADDRESS"];

        $sql = "INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE
            ( FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME, DATEOFBIRTH, PHONENUMBER, ADDRESS )
                VALUES
            ( ?,?,?,?,? )";

        $params=array(
            &$FIRSTNAME,
            &$LASTNAME,
            &$DATEOFBIRTH,
            &$PHONENUMBER,
            &$ADDRESS
        );

        /* add the posted variables as an array here as the third arg */
        $stmt = sqlsrv_prepare( $conn, $sql, $params ) or die( 'Error querying MSSQL database' );
        if( $stmt ) sqlsrv_execute( $stmt );

    /* debug post vars */
    } else {
        echo 'Error::' . print_r( $_POST, true );
    }
?>

From the PHP online manual regarding sqlsrc_prepare:

Prepares a query for execution. This function is ideal for preparing a
  query that will be executed multiple times with different parameter
  values.

and

When you prepare a statement that uses variables as parameters, the
  variables are bound to the statement. This means that if you update
  the values of the variables, the next time you execute the statement
  it will run with updated parameter values. For statements that you
  plan to execute only once, use sqlsrv_query().

A: I noticed that you are attempting to post data to a database, that is not actually named correctly on the PHP side, this would just result in the information related to your DATE OF BIRTH not being posted in the first place, as it has to match the PHP side exactly when you declare to retrieve posted data. I am pretty sure from memory that you only need to change the name in the form on the client side to DATEOFBIRTH, or you will have to change the PHP side to DATE_OF_BIRTH instead of this, whilst keeping the client side as DATE_OF_BIRTH

<input type="date" name="DATE_OF_BIRTH" id="DATE_OF_BIRTH"/>

NEEDS TO BE:

<input type="date" name="DATEOFBIRTH" id="DATEOFBIRTH"/>


You will need an upper (top) and a lower cushion (agility/stability) to make a complete cushion. Cushions are sold as sets of 4.
Hardnesses can be mixed and matched. Remember that the larger barrel-shaped upper cushion (top)—the one that that goes through the core of the truck and provides the stability of an edge—should most always be the harder cushion if they are mixed and matched. The smaller lower conical-shaped cushion provides the quick and sharp movements and should most always be the softer cushion if they are mixed and matched.


So since we pretty much covered movies we were looking forward to this year that means it's time to move onto the other love of our lives; VIDIYA GAMMEZ! Me and my good chum James Wood have a look at some upcoming releases for PS4 & PC that caught our eye including X COM 2, Farcry Primal and…Digimon!?! No XBone games here I'm afraid since neither of us own one so we don't care.
If you enjoyed this podcast why not leave us a review on STITCHER or iTUNES, we would sure appreciate it, like, a lot! Also please like & share with your friends. Also also did we miss anything? HINT: We totally did, there's a lot of games coming out. If so please feel free to discuss with us in the comments below & on Twitter.


© 2016 SPIE. Physical phantoms are needed for the evaluation and optimization of new digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) systems. Previously, we developed an anthropomorphic phantom based on human subject breast CT data and fabricated using commercial 3D printing. We now present three key advancements: voxelized 3D printing, photopolymer material doping, and 2D inkjet printing of lesion inserts. First, we bypassed the printer's control software in order to print in voxelized form instead of conventional STL surfaces, thus improving resolution and allowing dithering to mix the two photopolymer materials into arbitrary proportions. We demonstrated ability to print details as small as 150μm, and dithering to combine VeroWhitePlus and TangoPlus in 10% increments. Second, to address the limited attenuation difference among commercial photopolymers, we evaluated a beta sample from Stratasys with increased TiO2 doping concentration up to 2.5%, which corresponded to 98% breast density. By spanning 36% to 98% breast density, this doubles our previous contrast. Third, using inkjet printers modified to print with iopamidol, we created 2D lesion patterns on paper that can be sandwiched into the phantom. Inkjet printing has advantages of being inexpensive and easy, and more contrast can be delivered through overprinting. Printing resolution was maintained at 210 μm horizontally and 330 μm vertically even after 10 overprints. Contrast increased linearly with overprinting at 0.7% per overprint. Together, these three new features provide the basis for creating a new anthropomorphic physical breast phantom with improved resolution and contrast, as well as the ability to insert 2D lesions for task-based assessment of performance.

How Can I Help the Homeless?
Explore the Many Ways to Help the Homeless
Excerpt from Union Gospel Mission webpage - "How to Help People who are Experiencing Homelessness"
1. Give them food, coupons, or gift certificates, or refer them to a local social service agency. If a person is hungry, offer him/her food, coupons, or gift certificates to nearby restaurants or grocery stores. Or refer him/her to an agency that can provide food and shelter such as a local soup kitchen. Never give out cash. The money you give to "help" that person could be used to buy drugs or alcohol instead.
2. Talk to them with respect. Taking time to talk with someone experiencing homelessness in a friendly, respectful manner can give them a wonderful sense of dignity. If you can, spend time building a friendship with them — such as talking together while sharing a meal. Experiencing homelessness can be very isolating, discouraging, and embarrassing. These men and women need the consistent love and encouragement of friends to help them make healthy choices for their lives.
3. Recognize that people experiencing homelessness (and their problems) are not all the same. The person you meet may be a battered woman, an addicted veteran, or someone who is lacking job skills . . . sadly, the possibilities are endless. Encourage the person you meet to get help through a mission, but remember that ultimately it must be their decision. Rescue missions offer immediate food and shelter. Many, like URM, offer long-term rehabilitation programs that help deal with the root causes of homelessness.
4. Support ministries like City Mission through your donations. City Mission receives no government funding. Our source of support comes from caring individuals, churches, businesses, and civic groups who see the value of sharing their resources with those in need. Visit here to donate. Donations of food, clothing, and personal items (such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, combs, diapers, toys, etc.) are always needed and greatly appreciated. Visit Samaritan Care for more info.
5. Volunteer your time at a mission. Volunteering not only helps support the work of the ministry, but also gives you the opportunity to get to know the people in need. Many of our volunteers tell us they feel that their lives have changed as much as the lives of the people they are working with! Contact Volunteer Department at volunteer@citymission.org or click here
6. Pray for people who are struggling or experiencing homelessness in your community. Your prayers are a source of strength and hope to men and women who are struggling with homelessness. Your prayers are also appreciated on behalf of the guests, residents, and staff here at City Mission.

PTSD Awareness Story
A symptom of PTSD known as hyper-vigilance makes combat veterans feel constantly on edge or "keyed-up." Many who suffer from PTSD have difficulty relaxing and enjoying everyday life. They struggle to sleep, so they are always exhausted, and they have difficulty maintaining work performance or building relationships.
"Keep Looking Forward"
"I love working at the Mission," smiled Denny Kennedy, City Mission's new Chief Financial Officer, who was hired back in late February. "It's nice to be around people who have a passion for what they do. How could you not be inspired?"
City Mission Launches New Website
We have completely redesigned our website with you in mind - streamlining menus, simplifying navigation, and building a responsive layout across all platforms and browsers. We have also improved the structure and are increasing the volume of City Mission's content.
City Mission Thrift Stores Reopen
City Mission Thrift Stores were closed for retail shopping for over two months during the COVID quarantine, but they never completely closed during that time. All of City Mission's seven thrift stores remained open to accept donations, and five of them were used as Pop-up Pantry sites to distribute food bags to those in need during the crisis. The Pop-up Pantry program gave away over 4,000 bags of food in eight weeks.
These are fearful times, and a homeless shelter is probably the last place you'd choose to hunker down at a time like this. But the residents at City Mission are responding to this crisis with remarkable patience, compassion, and togetherness."They are adapting to this challenging situation and doing so with a smile," explained Leah Dietrich, City Mission's Director of Residential Programs. "That is such a blessing. I'm proud of them for their response and impressed with all that they are acc
Happy Earth Day, Everyday at City Mission
When you donate to our City Mission Thrift Stores, your donation makes a far bigger impact than you might think. Whether you are looking to be kind to the planet this Earth Day or to help those in need in our community, donating your unwanted items to City Mission helps to make the world a better place, one small act at a time.

Tips for De-Cluttering
Spring is only a week away, and as the temperature warms, many people are motivated to embark on annual spring-cleaning rituals. After several months of living with doors and windows closed, both dust and possessions have accumulated in our homes, and now is the perfect time to try to reduce both. Along with the typical spring-cleaning tasks, such as having rugs and draperies cleaned, laundering mattress covers and pillows, and clearing out unwanted items from closets, you might also consider the following clutter culprits as prime targets for removal during your cleanup.
Tax Strategies to Benefit both Donor and City Mission
If you are a high-income senior citizen who donates to City Mission, are you taking advantage of a great tax loophole to maximize your gift? Clients across the country are using this strategy to enhance their charitable giving, especially since the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act practically eliminated the need to itemize.As you know, once you have hit the "magic age" of 70 and 1/2, the IRS requires that you take a required minimum distribution on your IRA annually.
It's Time to de-Clutter and Donate!
Are you looking for a place to donate clothing to? Look no further! City Mission Thrift Store will take your clothing donations! You can drop your items off at any one of our seven Store Locations or in one of our City Mission Donation Bins in an area near you. Your Donations Help Change Lives!
"Such a Blessing"
"Our goal is to help people manage their pain," said Cyndi Urbanowicz, a retired flight nurse and one of the medical volunteers at the clinic. "Unfortunately, most of the residents we see have chronic pain. We're helping to decrease their pain and other symptoms." Sadly, the need for a drug-free pain management clinic like the one at City Mission is overwhelming. More than 30% of all Americans have some form of acute or chronic pain, and pain-relieving opioids are now the most commonly-prescribed class of medications in the United States.
City Mission to Hold Expungement Day
The Legal Clinic at the City Mission in Washington, Pa., as well as Southwestern Pennsylvania Legal Services and the Washington County Bar Association, are coming together Friday, March 29, to host a free criminal expungement clinic for residents of the City Mission homeless shelter and income-eligible members of the public. The "Expungement Day" program will take place at the City Mission from 9 a.m. to noon. The Mission is located at 84 West Wheeling Street in Washington.
City Mission Lends A Hand to Government Employees

City Mission Celebrates Grand Opening of Women with Children Shelter
Families with children are the fastest-growing homeless population in the US. According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, 41% of the homeless population is comprised of families, and 84% of these families are headed by single women. That is why City Mission has expanded their Women with Children Shelter, doubling their capacity to house women and children in need.
Twelve Steps & Biblical Comparisons

Addressing Addiction
Recently a resident of City Mission's Life Recovery Program faced the reality of addiction in a letter: To my addiction: Today I realize for the first time with total clarity the damage you've done and the intention you have for me. You plan to keep me in bondage to failure, loss, hopelessness and misery, to finish me off in the ultimate bondage of death. For so long you have managed to convince me not to fight for more than anything you allow.

At Stonehenge there is a carving cut in deep relief which had gone unnoticed until recently. It is on the narrow, outer side of trilithon stone 54 and faces west. The carving was accomplished by abrading away up to 75 mm of the stone's vertical surface and must surely date from antiquity. It shows a forward-facing, grave, distinguished face having prominent eyebrows, a long straight nose and well-formed upper lips. Although the sculpture can be studied in close-up at any time of day, it is easily seen from afar only when highlighted by oblique sunshine, and for this 13.50 to 14.40 BST (12.50 to 13.40 GMT) is optimum. This short time interval, together with the need for sunshine, accounts for the carving going unnoticed until now. The same applied to the axe and dagger carvings on trilithon stone 53 which were discovered 46 years ago. They had gone unnoticed until the middle of the 20th century, and yet when the sunshine is right they can be seen from 30 metres away.
Similar carved heads have been reported for major megaliths at Avebury.

Over a hundred years ago, the small 11 block Town of Strother straddled the Missouri Pacific Railroad tracks. Today, that small town consists of 65.87 square miles and is known as the City of Lee's Summit. In the late 1800's, a man by the name of William B. Howard was drawn to this fertile, gently rolling prairie land with the dream of building a city. Today, over 95,000 residents have been enticed to this progressive, yet restful and family-oriented community atmosphere, with a unified dream to create a dynamic, vital city. From yesterday to today, the story of this once small town has been filled with the courage, dedication, and quiet determination of its citizens, making Lee's Summit an ideal city in which to live and work.
On October 28, 1865, William B. Howard founded the Town of Strother by filing a plat containing the 11 blocks that currently encompass the downtown business district. At the time of incorporation, the population count stood at one hundred people. In November of 1868, the name was changed and the area incorporated as the "Town of Lee's Summit". Although the "Summit" portion of the name was obviously based on the fact the town's elevation is the highest point on the railroad between Kansas City and St. Louis, there are numerous opinions and theories on the origin of "Lee". According to one theory, the town was named after Civil War General Robert E. Lee, since incorporation took place shortly after the war and the majority of citizens migrated from the Southern states. However, another version suggests the town was named after a prominent early settler, Dr. Pleasant Lea. The discrepancy in the spelling of "Lea" has been attributed to railroad sign painters.
Lee's Summit's most infamous citizen was Cole Younger, called "The Last of the Great Outlaws" by author Homer Croy. According to history, soldiers drove Younger to a life outside the law after his father's murder and subsequent robbery. While Union forces were enforcing Order #11, the command issued in 1862 ostensibly to burn homes belonging to those with Southern ties, Younger and his brothers were credited with saving some of the original homes within Lee's Summit, the most prominent of which belonged to William B. Howard. Order #11 helped to unify the transplanted southern population in Missouri and compelled Younger to join the Confederate guerrilla band known as Quantrill's Raiders. Cole Younger was arrested after an attempted bank robbery in Northfield, Minnesota. Following 25 years of imprisonment for his crimes, Cole Younger was paroled in 1901. Three years later, Younger returned to Lee's Summit where he lived as a model citizen until his death in 1916. His grave is located in the Lee's Summit Historic Cemetery.
The Fire of 1885 demonstrated yet again the stamina personified by citizens in Lee's Summit. While most of the town's residents were attending Sunday morning church services, fire erupted in the downtown district, which consisted of dry, wooden buildings. A detailed account of the fire, as printed in the April 16, 1885, issue of The Lee's Summit Journal, stated the buildings burned "...like greased wood". Virtually the entire business district was destroyed and the loss aggregated at $87,000, with a total of 25 buildings consumed by the flames. However, the stalwart citizens took their losses in stride and promptly commenced to rebuild the town.
Almost 30 years later, Mr. R. A. Long, a prominent Kansas City lumberman, began building his dream, which became a reality with the construction of Longview Farm. In 1912, Mr. Long purchased approximately 1,700 acres in the southwest portion of Lee's Summit. Mostly self-sufficient, the farm included five major barn groups and 42 buildings. When completed and functional, Longview Farm became internationally known for the horses and livestock contained within its white rail fences and was one of only three dozen such showplace farms.
The history of Lee's Summit abounds with the tragedies and triumphs of courageous people who have never failed in their dream of creating a city that will continually progress and prosper. Most importantly, Lee's Summit is comprised of dedicated people who never lose touch with the basic values that make a community livable. We feel Lee's Summit has lived up to the dreams of its forefathers.

Illinois welcomes Hollywood riverboats thanks to Penn Entertainment.
by Adrian Porter | Oct 12, 2022 | News, Recent News | 0 comments
Inland Illinois will soon be served by Penn Entertainment's Hollywood casino riverboats. This is a portion of the casino operator with headquarters in Pennsylvania's $850 million investment.
A downtown Chicago integrated resort and five smaller casinos in the Chicago suburbs are driving Illinois's gaming expansion, and in 2019 the state's 10 riverfront casinos will be able to petition for regulatory approval to relocate inland. With Hollywood Casino Aurora and Hollywood Casino Juliet, Penn Entertainment intends to achieve just that.
The Hollywood riverboats of Penn, originally known as Penn National Gaming before changing its name earlier this year, will be relocated to new land-based facilities in Aurora and Joliet.
$360 million has been invested by Penn Entertainment in the Aurora project. A little more than three miles northeast of the Aurora Casino's current site in Hollywood is the Chicago Premium Outlets, which can be found off Interstate 88 at Exit 119. At Stolp Island on the Fox River, the riverboat is moored.
A land-based casino will be constructed in Joliet near Rock Run Crossing, southeast of the convergence of I-80 and I-55, for a cost of $185 million. Two air miles separate the present Hollywood Casino Joliet riverboat from the prospective casino location.
The proposed casino would have a hotel with 200 rooms, 900 slot machines, and 50 table games. In addition, a 10,000-square-foot event center, full-service spa, multiple bars, and restaurants are being developed.
Subject to permission from state and local officials, construction on the proposed Hollywood Casino Aurora is anticipated to start in late 2023.

Q: Google Is Not Defined I'm trying to create a simple app that looks up a Place, but I'm getting a ReferenceError when I try to run it.  My current code is taken straight from a Google tutorial, so I'm not sure what I'm missing.
function myFunction()
{
  var map;
  var service;
  var pyrmont = new google.maps.LatLng(-33.8665433,151.1956316);

  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
      mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
      center: pyrmont,
      zoom: 15
      });

  var request = {
    location: pyrmont,
    radius: '500',
    types: ['store']
    };

  service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map);
  service.search(request, callback);
}

The error I get is "ReferenceError: "google" is not defined." on this line
var pyrmont = new google.maps.LatLng(-33.8665433,151.1956316);

I assume its something simple like some sort of include, but I'm at a loss.

A: Google Apps Script is not the same as Javascript.
The code you are writing here is for the JavaScript API of Google Maps. To use Maps in Apps Script, use the classes defined in the Apps Script documentation - https://developers.google.com/apps-script/service_maps

A: Taken from the documentation :
The Places service is a self-contained library, separate from the main Maps API JavaScript code. To use the functionality contained within this library, you must first load it using the libraries parameter in the Maps API bootstrap URL:
See the Libraries Overview for more information.
+1 to Srik Answer : this is indeed not about Google Apps Script


Saturday morning on the Fox News Channel Geraldo Rivera made some mistaken, or maybe his remarks were instead misleading, statements; with him one can not be certain if he's serious of not. He said that sanctuary cities like Chicago should not be blamed for their high murder rate because the murders are of a domestic, gang-related nature, and are not mainly caused by illegal aliens living there. I am unable to recall anyone blaming the sky-rocketing murder rate in Chicago on illegal aliens; we blame the high murder rate on the leftist Democrat Mayor of Chicago. But Geraldo appears to be trying to divert attention from the sanctuary city idiocy by removing a high murder rate from the mix, and this misrepresentation of the facts will not fly.
Even if one sets aside the horrific 2015 murder of Kate Steinle by an illegal alien in San Francisco, the very idea of allowing illegals to be in this country and to live here at public expense is a crime in itself and is a criminal activity. Then add into the situation that fact that the mayors of these criminal cities will not coordinate with the federal government to get rid of illegals residing in their cities, and you have an untenable situation that must be corrected.
One can recall a couple of years ago that the Obama administration sued the state of Arizona for trying to set up its own immigration controls on its border with Mexico and halt, or at least attempt to control, the influx of illegals crossing the Arizona/Mexico border each day. Obama won the case in the Supreme Court by arguing that only the federal government has the constitutional authority to control the borders of the nation and that states must be prohibited from doing so. Having won this argument, Obama then sat back, played another round of golf and allowed the same influx of illegals to illegally enter the United States, exactly what Arizona had attempted to halt by doing its own border monitoring. Under Obama, the federal government ignored its constitutional obligation to protect the nation's borders and its citizens, and in fact went so far as to advertise for more illegals to cross into America in order to beef up the Democrat voter roles.
The constitution does not suggest that maybe the federal government should perhaps control the borders, it made it the obligation of the federal government to do so, and Obama was in violation of the constitution by halting Arizona from protecting its citizens, and then doing nothing at the federal level to protect America.
One murder of an American by someone who should not be here is way too many, and that's why sanctuary cities are criminal entities that must be ended, and liberal mayors and governors who support such a situation be damned. Trump's Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, said he will withhold federal funds from any city in violation of immigration laws, and that's exactly what must happen. And if that doesn't get their attention, then put the fools in federal prison.


The Competition and Market Authority has released a new protection guidance for lettings professionals to improve their understanding and compliance with consumer protection law.
The guidance provides standards over a number of issues that tenants and landlords can encounter.
The CMA has worked along with the trading standards services to agree on how the law should be applied and how to improve standards.
The guidance is relevant to all professional lettings agents in the United Kingdom with the aim to suppress legal variations from one area to another.
Meanwhile the Department for Communities and Local Government has issued a checklist to successful renting for tenants.
The checklist is actually very close to our own Guide to your first student house.
Although this news is relevant to all professional lettings agents, we are already one step ahead at Mistoria, always making sure our student lettings are in line with legal and ethical standards and our student tenants feel safe and secure doing business with us.
