Following in the positive footsteps of Star Wars and other franchises rebooting themselves with female leads, the new Star Trek series Star Trek Discovery looks to be launching with a woman at its helm.
Speaking at the Television Critics Association (TCA) Press Tour, the show's co-creator Bryan Fuller told the press that the aim of the new series is to build upon Star Trek's existing reputation for embracing diversity, and that the lead character of Star Trek Discovery (unfortunately abbreviated to STD) is "female, human, and not a captain".
Deadline further reports that the lead character of the CBS All Access show is unlikely to be white, saying "all women seen for the part so far — and there have been a lot of them as the casting process has kicked into high gear — have been African-American or Hispanic".
So, could Star Trek Discovery boldly go where no other Star Trek instalment has gone before, by casting a woman of colour as its lead?
Star Trek Discovery, which begins production in two months' time, will be streamed globally on Netflix the day after it is made available on CBS All Access in North America in January.
On Friday July 29th at 6:00pm, none other than William Shatner takes us on a trip through the original series in this gloriously retro documentary movie from 1994. Mixing video clips and interviews with Star Trek: The Original Series actors Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei, Walter Koenig, and Nichelle Nichols, this is 1 hour and 20 minutes of old school gold for Star Trek fans.
Showing on Sunday July 31st at 6:00pm, this 2007 documentary looks at what happened when Paramount Pictures celebrated Star Trek's 40th anniversary by holding an auction of many of the items that were used in the live-action Star Trek TV series. The items, stored in several warehouses, included rack after rack of uniforms, pieces of furniture, models of the various versions of the Enterprise, other starships and makeup prostheses for characters. We see how Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda, with assistance from the production staff of the TV series, chose the items to be auctioned, and dealt with the problems encountered in preparing many of the unusual items for shipment to the auction house, while also including scenes from the auction held in 2006 and interviews with many of the stars and production personnel of the TV series.
CBS Action will also be running Star Trek: The Original Series on weekdays at 6pm, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine on weekdays at 8pm.
Star Trek Beyond is showing in cinemas around the UK now.
Netflix has bought the rights to stream the upcoming Star Trek TV revival exclusively in the UK.
The new series, which will air on CBS and on-demand service CBS All Access in the US, has been commissioned for thirteen episodes and will begin filming in Toronto in September.
It is being helmed by Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller and reports indicate that it will be set in the original Trek universe at some point between The Original Series and The Next Generation.
As well as receiving exclusive rights to the UK release, Netflix has also bought rights to air the show in 87 other countries.
Each episode is expected to be available within 24 hours of the US broadcast.
To get Trekkies ready for the new series, Netflix has made all previous episodes of the hit franchise – from The Original Series to Enterprise – available for streaming now on the service.
Bryan Fuller's Star Trek will be available on Netflix in January 2017.
The much-anticipated new Star Trek film, Star Trek Beyond, released a new clip today featuring the franchise's unlikely lovebirds, Uhura and Spock – played by Zoe Saldana and Zachary Quinto.
Their relationship has not been the most conventional and it looks like there may be trouble ahead in this emotional clip.
Luckily, Doctor McCoy is on hand to offer a supporting sarcastic quip to cheer up poor Spock.
The upcoming film will see the Enterprise crew back together, stranded on an alien planet with an enemy who hates the Federation.
Chris Pine, Simon Pegg and John Cho will be back on deck, with Idris Elba and Sofia Boutella joining the cast. This film marks one of the last appearances of Anton Yelchin (Pavel Chekov) after he tragically died this year.
Star Trek Beyond will be released in the UK on 22nd July.
Star Trek has proven its ability to live long and prosper, as the cult sci-fi franchise will return for a new TV series in 2017.
CBS Television Studios has confirmed that the new instalment of the show – which will be the first new Star Trek series since the cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise in 2005 – is currently being developed, and will blast off in January 2017 on CBS before the rest of the series airs exclusively online at CBS All Access. This means that it will also be the first TV series designed specifically for CBS' online platform. CBS All Access already offers every episode of all previous Star Trek television series.
Star Trek movies producer and co-writer Alex Kurtzman is reportedly working on the project, however further details are currently scarce.
The announcement of the new series comes just in time for Star Trek's 50th anniversary. The original Star Trek spawned a dozen feature films and five successful television series, so we're excited to see what comes out from it next.
"There is no better time to give Star Trek fans a new series than on the heels of the original show's 50th anniversary celebration," said David Stapf, President, CBS Television Studios. "Everyone here has great respect for this storied franchise, and we're excited to launch its next television chapter in the creative mind and skilled hands of Alex Kurtzman, someone who knows this world and its audience intimately".
"This new series will premiere to the national CBS audience, then boldly go where no first-run Star Trek series has gone before – directly to its millions of fans through CBS All Access," said Marc DeBevoise, Executive Vice President/General Manager at CBS Digital Media. "We've experienced terrific growth for CBS All Access, expanding the service across affiliates and devices in a very short time. We now have an incredible opportunity to accelerate this growth with the iconic Star Trek, and its devoted and passionate fan base, as our first original series".
Trekkies will next be treated by the upcoming feature film Star Trek Beyond, which stars Zachary Quinto, Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana and Idris Elba, and is slated for a summer 2016 release. However, the new TV series is said not to be connected to the current film franchise.


Having a natural interest in many things seems like real gift.
We all screw up, so I don't get people who can't seem to admit the obvious.
Related to curiosity, but takes it one step further. It's okay to have beliefs, but they can't get in the way of personal growth.
I admire real, true faith. This is the stuff that you see when someone takes a leap based on something bigger than they can personally comprehend. This is different than, for example, blind obedience to something written in a book or uttered by a preacher. When someone looks for "proof" of their Faith then I think they are kind of missing the point.
We are all born naked, we all eventually die and in between we are all subject to the same sorts of frailties that come with being human. The illusion superiority is more a sign of weakness and stupidity and strength and intelligence.
I like being around funny people. Life is already too full of serious stuff.
Being able to live your life without having to depend on someone else is the ultimate expression of personal confidence. It's a gift.

Sandhi (  , "joining") is a cover term for a wide variety of sound changes that occur at morpheme or word boundaries. Examples include fusion of sounds across word boundaries and the alteration of one sound depending on nearby sounds or the grammatical function of the adjacent words. Sandhi belongs to morphophonology.

Sandhi occurs in many languages, particularly in the phonology of Indian languages (especially Sanskrit, Tamil,  Sinhala, Telugu, Marathi, Hindi, Pali, Kannada, Bengali, Assamese, Malayalam). Many dialects of British English show linking and intrusive R.

A subset of sandhi called tone sandhi more specifically refers to tone changes between words and syllables. This is a common feature of many tonal languages such as Mandarin Chinese.

Types

Internal and external sandhi
Sandhi can be either
 internal, at morpheme boundaries within words, such as syn- + pathy: sympathy, or
 external, at word boundaries, such as the pronunciation "tem books" for ten books in some dialects of English. The linking  process of some dialects of English ("I saw-r-a film" in British English) is a kind of external sandhi, as are French liaison (pronunciation of usually silent final consonants of words before words beginning with vowels) and Italian raddoppiamento fonosintattico (lengthening of initial consonants of words after certain words ending in vowels).
It may be extremely common in speech, but sandhi (especially external) is typically ignored in spelling, as is the case in English (exceptions: the distinction between a and an; the prefixes syn-, in-, en-, and con-). Sandhi is, however, reflected in the orthography of Sanskrit, Sinhala, Telugu, Marathi, Pali and some other Indian languages, as with Italian in the case of compound words with lexicalised syntactic gemination.

External sandhi effects can sometimes become morphologised (apply only in certain morphological and syntactic environments) as in Tamil and, over time, turn into consonant mutations.

Tone sandhi
Most tonal languages have tone sandhi in which the tones of words alter according to certain rules. An example is the behavior of Mandarin Chinese; in isolation, tone 3 is often pronounced as a falling-rising tone. When a tone 3 occurs before another tone 3, however, it changes into tone 2 (a rising tone), and when it occurs before any of the other tones, it is pronounced as a low falling tone with no rise at the end.

An example occurs in the common greeting   (with two words containing underlying tone 3), which is in practice pronounced . The first word is pronounced with tone 2, but the second is unaffected.

Examples

Celtic languages

In Celtic languages, the consonant mutation sees the initial consonant of a word to change according to its morphological or syntactic environment.
Following are some examples from Breton, Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Welsh:

French
The French liaison, in which a word-final consonant that is normally silent when occurring at the end of a phrase or before another consonant, is pronounced as if part of the next word when followed by a vowel, can be considered a form of external sandhi. For example,  (two brothers) is pronounced  with a silent , and  (four men) is pronounced , but  (two men) is pronounced .

Japanese
In Japanese phonology, sandhi is primarily exhibited in rendaku (consonant mutation from unvoiced to voiced when not word-initial, in some contexts) and conversion of  or  (, ) to a geminate consonant (orthographically, the sokuon ), both of which are reflected in spelling – indeed, the  symbol for gemination is morphosyntactically derived from , and voicing is indicated by adding two dots as in  , , making the relation clear. It also occurs much less often in , where, most commonly, a terminal  on one morpheme results in an  (or ) being added to the start of the next morpheme, as in  ( +  = ); that is also shown in the spelling (the kanji do not change, but the kana, which specify pronunciation, change).

Korean
Korean has sandhi which occurs in the final consonant or consonant cluster, such that a morpheme can have two pronunciations depending on whether or not it is followed by a vowel. For example, the root "읽" /ik/, meaning read, sounds like /iɾk/ before vowels, such as in, 읽으세요 /iɾkɯse̞jo/, meaning please read. Some roots can also aspirate following consonants, denoted by the letter ㅎ (hieut) in the final consonant. This causes  "다" /tɐ/ to become /tʰɐ/ in 않다 /ɐntʰɐ/ (to be not).

Q: Como usar unload com angular JS? O unload deveria ser chamado ao sair da página e bater uma url qualquer de outro site.
Numa versão antiga, sem Angular JS, fazendo isso, funciona normal, ele chama a requisição, quando ligo o debug a API está entrando...
        window.onbeforeunload = function(e) {
                e = e || window.event;
                e.preventDefault = true;
                e.cancelBubble = true;
                if (shouldAsk)
                    e.returnValue = 'Se você sair agora desta atividade, irá perder automaticamente uma tentativa!!';
            };

            var didSelectReturn = false;
            $(window).unload(function(){
                if (!didSelectReturn && shouldAsk) {
                    giveup(function(){

                    }, false);
                }
            });

    function giveup(callback, async)
            {
                async = typeof async !== 'undefined' ? async : true;
                if(_started!=null)
                {

                    window.clearInterval(myTimer);
                    var seconds = secondsCount;

                    _started = null;

                    sendDataWithAction_type(LoggeUserID,"quiz", json.id, "time", "giveup", "0", "0", seconds, function(){ // success

                        callback();
                    }, function(){ // error
                        //NSLog(@"sendDataWithAction_type error");
                        callback();

    $.ajax({
        url: url,

        data: params,
        dataType: "json",
        async:async,
        timeout:60000,
        success: function(data) {
            // if (data.status=="200") {
            //     clearInterval(intervalTime);
            // } else {

            seconds = 0;

        },
        error: function(data) {

            if(typeof window.parent.data_form !== 'undefined'){
                if(data.status != 404 && window.parent.data_form.withOutInternet == false){
                    window.parent.data_form.withOutInternet = true;

            }
            alert("Erro ao enviar informações, você pode estar sem internet, tente novamente.");
        }
    });

}

Agora, quando coloco AngularJS, a requisição async = false não está entrando quando saio do sistema e acesso um endereço do google por exemplo, a API não é chamada. O que estou fazendo errado?
$scope.init = function() {

 window.onbeforeunload = function(e) {

                        if(!$scope.btnReturn){

                            e = e || window.event;
                            e.preventDefault = true;
                            e.cancelBubble = true;
                            e.returnValue = 'Se você sair agora desta atividade, irá perder automaticamente uma tentativa!!';
                        }
                    };

                    window.addEventListener('unload', function() {

                          var data = {
                              activity_id: atividade,
                              timeoff: $scope.timeOff.tempo_total,
                              date_steps: $scope.dateSteps
                          };

                        var url = "api-games/give-up";

                        var dados = {
                            csrf_token: csrf,

                        });

                    });

 };

 $scope.init();

A: Resolvido usando o javascript puro da seguinte forma:
$window.onbeforeunload = function(e) {

                        if(!$scope.btnReturn){

                            e = e || window.event;

                            e.cancelBubble = true;
                            e.returnValue = 'Se você sair agora desta atividade, irá perder automaticamente uma tentativa!!';
                        }
                    };

                    if (!$scope.final_game && $scope.started_game) {
                        window.addEventListener('unload', sendData, false);
                    }

                    function sendData() {

                        if(!$scope.btnReturn) {

Q: Number theory related to rings Why it is true that every odd number r that is not equivlant to p mod p has a odd number $s$ s.t
$rs\equiv 2p-1 \mod 2p $
My first thought is that i should have an inverse for $r$ in the ring so i can write.
$s\equiv r^{-1} (-1) \mod 2p $ but im not sure what in number theory tells me that $r^{-1} $ exists?
Where p as always in number theory is prime.

A: Indeed, we can take $-1/r=-r^{-1}$ in $\mathbb{Z}/2p$, since we know that $r\not\equiv 0\bmod 2$ and $r\not\equiv 0\bmod p$ by assumption.

A: Assuming $p$ is a prime, and that not just $r\ne p$ but $p\not\mid r$...
$r^{-1}$ exists because $r$ (being odd) is coprime with $2p$. Thus, $1=rs+2pt$ for some $s,t\in\mathbb Z$ (Bézout's identity), or, reducing modulo $2p$, $1\equiv rs\pmod{2p}$.


Five Senses Music devises and presents musical experiences to enrich and broaden people's lives.
We create settings in which audiences young and old, musicians professional and amateur, experts and newcomers can share in the energy of live classical music… and be inspired by one another.
The traditional classical concert-going experience is sometimes perceived to be stuffy and exclusive, or with an uncomfortable distance between artists and audience. Getting close enough to the action to explore it with all five senses allows for a different kind of contact: a truly physical engagement, and meaningful interaction.
It is this spirit of discovery and adventure that informs our work, through concerts, workshops and other participatory learning experiences.

"Clive Barker's Lord of Illusions"
New York P.I. Harry D'Amour (Bakula), who has an affinity for the occult, becomes involved with Dorothea (Janssen), the supposed widow of magician Philip Swann (O'Connor). As Harry investigates he discovers some terrifying secrets, including resurrected cult leader Nix (Von Bargen). Gruesome effects rather than excessive gore but you'll feel like you've been dropped in the middle of a plot without a clear idea what's happening. Bakula's Harry obviously has more stories to tell but Janssen's Dorothea, while attractive, is just around to cower. Barker directs from his own short story "The Last Illusion." The unrated director's cut clocks in at 120 minutes.

A handful of illegal alien advocacy organizations in Arizona are seeking other avenues to undermine the enforcement of immigration law in the state by pushing a municipal ID program in Tucson to allow illegal aliens residing in the region to obtain photo identification cards.
According to a supporter of the program, the "Todo Tucson ID" campaign strives to establish "another layer of comfort with engaging police" for residents illegally residing in the United States. Indeed, identification cards would help illegal aliens residing in the region to escape the enforcement of immigration law. By giving illegal aliens documentation to produce to law enforcement, officers will be discouraged from contacting federal immigration authorities to verify the true identity of the individual, thus preventing ICE from initiating enforcement actions against potentially deportable aliens.
The extent to which the municipal IDs may be used is still unclear. Granting municipal ID cards to illegal aliens, however, is sure to invite identify fraud and abuse. Moreover, issuing such cards only serves to encourage, rather than discourage, illegal immigration, making local governments accomplices in illegal alien law-breaking. FAIR estimates that taxpayers in Arizona alone already spend $2.4 billion annually in costs associated to illegal immigration.

Muswell Hill overview
Brothers Ray and Dave Davies of iconic London band The Kinks were born in Muswell Hill, and the lyrics of Village Green Preservation Society reference the comforts of their neighbourhood. The green of the title is local Fortis Green, where the young brothers often played football until dark. Muswell Hill still has a safe village atmosphere and plenty of open space making it easy to imagine raising children here. Commanding views over London, beautiful Edwardian architecture and the lively Broadway, lined with child friendly cafes and restaurants, all add to the appeal. Muswell Hill's impressive array of amenities continues to lure families and young creatives to this green and leafy corner of the borough of Haringey. Situated between Alexandra Park and Highgate Woods, it's a haven for dog owners, and long weekend walks up to Ally Pally, followed by a coffee and cake in one of the Broadway's many cafes, make for a perfect Saturday.
Muswell Hill was named after the 12th century discovery of a local stream. The 'Mossy Well' was believed to have miraculous, healing properties.
Alexandra Park had its own racecourse between 1868 and 1970, when the eccentric track closed due to failing popularity the increasing cost of keeping it open. Nicknamed 'The Frying Pan' for its distinctive layout, as recently as 1999 there was a campaign for it to reopen.
Architecture and property
The opening of nearby Alexandra Palace in 1873, intended as North London's answer to the spectacular Crystal Palace in South London, kickstarted development in Muswell Hill. Much of the area's property development took place between 1896 and 1914 and was carried out by James Edmondson and William J Collins, giving it one of the most cohesive architectural styles in London. They were dedicated to building houses with high quality materials in a unified style, hence the dominance of attractive red brick Edwardian homes. Much of Muswell Hill is now designated as a conservation area, and it has retained its period character.
Houses in Muswell Hill are predominantly Edwardian, although there are a few Victorian homes and some 1920s and 1930s properties, many of these boasting gardens. Because of the current high demand for family homes, properties that once were converted into flats are now being restored to their former glory as single family dwellings.
For house price information please visit the sold data tab.
Eating: Visit the popular independent cafe Feast Deli and Catering for imaginative sandwiches and salads, try Toff's for award winning fish and chips or head to Bill's for consistently good food. There is also a Carluccio's and Côte Brasserie along with many independent coffee shops.
Drinking: A particular favourite with locals is The Victoria Stakes. Its wide array of craft beers and warm drinks makes it the perfect location for a cosy weekend afternoon. Other options include the Clissold Arms, where the Kinks played their first gig, and the laidback Maid of Muswell. There is also a Wetherspoons pub, The Mossy Well, on Muswell Hill Broadway.
Film: Muswell Hill's Everyman cinema shows the best new releases in an unusually glamorous setting. The Grade II listed building dates from 1936, and is a fine example of Art Deco architecture. Nearby Phoenix Cinema is one of the oldest purpose built continuously running cinemas in the UK, and is run by a charitable trust for the community.
On Sundays locals flock to the farmers' market at Alexandra Palace to pick up baked goods, preserves and olives, organic fruit and veg, and speciality meats, as well as street food snacks.
There are several supermarkets to satisfy everyday shopping needs, including Marks & Spencer, Waitrose and Sainsbury's. The jewel in the area's shopping crown has to be Planet Organic with its array of healthy foods and drinks, and many locals take advantage of its delivery service, free with orders over £30. Other popular options include the specialist teas and coffees at W Martyn, and Walter Purkis fishmonger, which smokes its own fish in a century old smoke house behind its Crouch End store.
Muswell Hill has several pay and display parking bays, particularly in the areas around the Broadway and Fortis Green Road.
Bookworms are at home in Muswell Hill and can take their pick from the independent Muswell Hill Bookshop on Fortis Green Road, or the well used Muswell Hill Library. The Children's Bookshop and the Muswell Hill Toy Library cater to a younger age range.
The friendly Muswell Hill Methodist Tennis Club is open to everyone, with teams of all levels up to the Middlesex Premier League, and opportunities for professional coaching.
Alexandra Park has 196 acres of beautiful parkland and boasts famous city views, alongside a boating lake, pitch and putt course, rose garden and even a deer enclosure. The park is also home to Alexandra Palace, an important historical venue that now hosts concerts, conventions and events, such as the Darts World Championships. In winter, a visit to the ice rink is an annual ritual for locals, as is the Bonfire Night fireworks display. The 70 acres of ancient woodland at Highgate Wood is a great place to escape after a busy day in the city, and many locals enjoy long weekend walks along its scenic trails, while the smaller Queen's Wood and Coldfall Wood are perfect for picnics. For something more challenging, try the Parkland Walk, four and a half miles of nature reserve connecting Finsbury Park and Alexandra Palace.
Muswell Hill is home to the London Centre for Children with Cerebral Palsy, and in 2014 Haringey Council approved plans to build new premises for the centre, as well as 28 new homes. A new co housing development is planned for the site of St Luke's Hospital, where 70 per cent of the homes will be for people aged over 55.
Tube: Although Muswell Hill is a popular place for central London commuters, it doesn't have its own Tube or Overground station. However, there are several stations within walking distance, or just a bus ride away. Highgate and East Finchley are on the Northern Line, and Bounds Green, Finsbury Park and Wood Green are on the Piccadilly Line.
Trains: Overground services from Alexandra Palace or Hornsey stations take 20 minutes to Moorgate.
Buses: Muswell Hill has good bus connections, with direct routes both to the City and the West End around the clock. Buses such as the W7 (to Finsbury Park) connect to the nearby underground stations, while the 43 runs to London Bridge and the 134 has a 24 hour service to Tottenham Court Road.
Road: With the M1 only a 15 minute drive away via the North Circular Road, Muswell Hill residents have easy access to the north of England.
Muswell Hill has an abundance of schools for younger children, including Chantry Hall Montessori Nursery School. Local primary schools include Tetherdown, Our Lady of Muswell Catholic Primary School, Rhodes Avenue Primary School, Coldfall Primary School, Muswell Hill Primary School, and St James C of E Primary, with the major state secondary schools being Fortismere and Alexandra Park. Locals have their pick of several private schools, including Norfolk House, Highgate School and Channing School for girls.

War on houses of worship
As I wrote last week from Jerusalem, just months after the massacre at a synagogue in Har Nof, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighbourhood, I felt a duty to make a visit, to pray for the dead and to offer, in a small way, solidarity with those who suffered the desecration of their house of worship.

Vatican sends Holy Land a message of solidarity, peace
VATICAN CITY - On the eve of his first trip to the Holy Land as grand master of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre, Cardinal Edwin O'Brien said he hoped to encourage the region's Christian minority with a message of solidarity from Pope Benedict XVI and other Catholics in the West.
"The Church in the Holy Land has been under unfriendly domination throughout the centuries, and the fact that we still exist there is almost a miracle," O'Brien told Catholic News Service Nov. 24. "We have to do everything we can as a Catholic people to encourage them and to let them know that we are one with them in their struggle."
The cardinal left Rome Nov. 26 for a weeklong pilgrimage whose itinerary was to include Jerusalem, Bethlehem, West Bank, and Amman, Jordan. He was scheduled to meet with Jerusalem's Latin Patriarch Fouad Twal, who serves as the order's grand prior, and other Catholic, Orthodox and Muslim leaders.
The cardinal also planned to visit a few of the more than 100 institutions that the knights support in the region, including parishes, schools and Bethlehem University.
O'Brien was not planning to visit the Gaza Strip and said he did not expect the recent fighting there to affect his visit, which was planned almost a year ago. But he noted that Twal has been on the "frontlines" in aiding victims of the violence there. Eight days of Israeli airstrikes, launched in retaliation for rocket attacks by Palestinian militants, killed more than 150 people and destroyed thousands of dwellings in Gaza before both sides agreed to a ceasefire Nov. 21.
"The Church does not take one side or the other" in the conflict, the cardinal said, "but simply says, do whatever we have to do to bring about peace and a secure way of living for all the people in that land that Christ walked."
O'Brien noted that the Church's charitable and educational activities in the Holy Land often serve a greater number of Muslims than Christians, which he said helped the cause of peace. He particularly noted the contribution of Christian Brothers-run Bethlehem University, in the West Bank, to interreligious harmony.
"More than half the students over the years have not been Christian," the cardinal said. "And they graduate to leading positions in the Holy Land. Their gratitude to the Church and their influence in building bridges between Islam and Christianity, we just can't measure the worth of that.
"We don't do it so that we can get credit," he said. "We do it so that the dignity of every human being will be developed to its highest potential. Bethlehem University, Madaba University, our high schools — all the good work that our people far away are doing to support these institutions is going to pay great dividends in the decades ahead."

And a familiar culprit is involved.
Jockey is reengineering the traditional boxer.
The innerwear brand has combined the best attributes of the boxer and the boxer brief to produce the "No Bunch Boxer." It's made with dual-fabric stretch that remains in place while also offering no bulk, no chafe and no riding up with a tapered leg. The fabric is infused with wicking and odor-fighting technology.
Groom Jason Earles played Miley Cyrus's brother on the Disney Channel show.
Florence Henderson who played Carol Brady in the hit 1970s sitcom The Brady Bunch has died aged 82.
Her career began with stage musicals, but Ms. Henderson's touchstone role as the perky matriarch of a 1970s blended family made her an enduring TV presence for decades.
Here's a story about a lovely lady who made a big difference in the lives of her TV kids.
For years, Florence Henderson offered advice and delivered laughs on "The Brady Bunch." On Thursday, the world said goodbye to the 82-year-old actress, and it's clear that Henderson and her "Brady" castmates formed a real family during their time together.
Barry Williams, who played Greg on the show, tweeted that he was "deeply saddened" by the news of her death.
"Florence was one of the most gracious people I have ever known, Proud to call her Mom and life long friend," wrote Williams.
Maureen McCormick, aka Marcia Brady, was with Henderson on the "Dancing with the Stars" set only days before her death.
And that's the way they all became a real Brady Bunch.
Los Angeles couple Tammy Caplan and Joe Gold are actors, writers and independent filmmakers. Needless to say, they both share a colorful imagination.
So when the couple of 15 years tied the knot in April 2015, they let those imaginations run wild and opted to surprise guests by having puppets officiate the wedding ceremony. Six puppets to be exact — a main officiant, a rabbi, a judge, a ring bear, a captain and a wedding crasher.
The bride and groom wrote the script for the puppets together. Caplan told The Huffington Post that they both were fans of "Sesame Street" and the Muppets growing up.
The couple worked with the Puppet School of Los Angeles to make their puppet officiant dreams a reality.
After the ceremony, the puppeteers walked around with their puppets and interacted with the wedding guests. Later during the breakfast reception, guests were invited to make their very own puppets. And at the end of the day, the couple hosted a special dance where everyone brought their puppets onto the dance floor.

It looked pretty bleak for the Seattle Seahawks with around four minutes to go in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday. The team was down 19-7 to the Green Bay Packers, and the team's quarterback, Russell Wilson, was playing terribly.

This cookery book has been created to support the series by Trisha Stewart on diet and lifestyle, 'Healthy Tart', 'Healthy Idol', 'Healthy Dude' and also 'Healthy Fitness Central' which is written by Trisha's great friend and colleague and her own fitness guru, Christin McDowell. This book is deliberately focusing on vegetarian/vegan foods, not only to support these great lifestyle books, but also to encourage those people who eat flesh and dairy to try some great alternatives. Even though I have outlined in my other books very good reasons to avoid eating animal produce, I know some people will continue to do so, which is about choices. Choosing recipes in this book will be greatly contributing to your own health and wellness and that of your family and friends as well. You will be amazed how many people love to eat this kind of food. Help to spread the word about a great way of eating for optimum health and make this book part of your everyday eating regime.
Marvel has debuted the first official trailer for "Guardians of the Galaxy," the upcoming sci-fi super-hero adventure starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, John C. Reilly and the voices of Bradley Cooper (as Rocket Raccoon) and Vin Diesel (as Groot, an alien tree). The James Gunn film looks like one of Marvel's funniest features to date thanks to Pratt's comic timing and a geeky sensibility that knows just how to rock Blue Swede's "Hooked on a Feeling." The second of two 2014 Marvel blockbusters, following April's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," "Guardians of the Galaxy" arrives in theaters on Aug. 1. Watch the first trailer, via "Jimmy Kimmel Live," below.

Q: Can I build my app into the standard Android camera application? I am new in mobile app dev. And I want to build my app in standard camera. It will be like helper guide lines on camera to make better photos. But I don't want to build separate app, instead I want make it in standard cam like add on. So, because I am new in that sphere, I don't know is it possible to do, and which API or tools I should use. Can you help me with that?

A: In the way you want to achieve this based on description above : no, you can't.
Only way to do something like this is build own app (with own app icon in launcher) and try open camera from your app by Intent, but before that show tutorial within your app. But it seems to be not nice idea for tutorial purpose.

A: You cannot add more features in the application provided by different vendors. Each vendor(like Samsung, HTC) has its own application of Camera which is protected. If you want to do that then you will need to have permission of a vendor or become a vendor in the process. That entails to building your own OS or custom OS (Android Source Code is Open Source).
Next best thing you could do is provide a helper application that gives tips and tricks and anything informative for guidelines. Then user can learn from your app which is available for download through Google Play.
It is worth noting that almost every device hardware is different. Some features are device specific. Therefore quality and settings will also differ.


Q: I bought garden mums last fall and they bloomed beautifully in October but this year they're blooming in July. How can I get them to bloom in the fall again?
A: Pinching your mums starting in May for every 2 weeks until July 4th will delay the flowering until fall. An added benefit is a more compact plant with many more blooms.
Q: Help, my trees are covered with bagworms! What can I do?
A: Unfortunately, the best was to get rid of bagworms is to handpick and destroy them. An over-wintering female bagworm can produce as many as 1000 babies which appear in early June. At this stage they are more vulnerable to insecticides and spraying can be done.
Q: Something is eating the leaves on my weeping cherry trees. What kind of spray can I use?
A: We recommend using an all-purpose insecticide called 'Seven'. It is very effective against chewing insects and is safe for the environment when used properly.
Q: Q: My holly bushes are getting too tall. When can I prune them?
A: Care should be taken when pruning hollies. Pruning too much too late will remove all the flower buds for next year and therefore the berries. Flower buds are formed by late-June on the current season's growth.
Q: We purchased a pink flowering almond bush. It had flowers on it when we purchased it and is now just green. When should we prune it and how much?
A: Flowering almond only blooms in the spring on the previous year's wood. Cut back hard immediately after blooming to maintain peak flowering performance.
Q: My Oakleaf hydrangeas were badly eaten by beetles this year. What can I do to prevent damage next year?
A: To protect your Hydrangeas from beetle damage spray them with Sevin in late June as soon as you notice beetle activity. You may need a second application of insecticide if additional beetle damage is noticed.
Q: My established holly bushes have leaves that are turning brown. What should I do?
A: Prune the brown leaves off. Fertilize with an acid fertilizer such as Holly-tone and make sure the Holly is kept well watered.
Q: My big-leaf hydrangea puts out beautiful new green foliage every year but never blooms. What's wrong?
A: Big-leaf or macrophylla hydrangeas bloom on second year wood. Protect the lower 2-3 buds on each stem by hilling or mulching the lower 12" of the plant in the fall. Remove mulch in the spring after danger of a freeze. If cold weather threatens, recover the stems.
Q: When can I prune my dwarf Korean lilacs?
A: Lilacs should be pruned immediately after they've bloomed in the spring. Dwarf Korean Lilacs require only a light pruning to maintain size and shape.
Q: I have a Red Sunset maple which I planted in May. Although it seemed fine for the first 3 months, the leaves now turning red like they would for the fall color change. Any suggestions?
A: Early fall coloration is a sign of plant stress which could be caused by several factors. These include transplant shock, over or under watering or girdling roots. Your tree should do fine with the proper care. Evaluate your watering habits. Make sure your tree gets at least 1" of water per week either from rain or irrigation. If you have a watering system, make sure it is not getting too wet. Fertilize in late fall after the tree has gone dormant. This will encourage root growth and give your tree a head start next spring.
Q: I have a maple tree in the front yard that has several branches growing from the bottom of the tree. Should I trim all of those branches off to help the tree grow taller?
Q: I have a Red Sunset maple. It appears to be doing pretty well with new growth, healthy coloration etc. The problem is about two feet up from the base of the trunk there is cracking, flaking bark. There is no sign of insect damage. Should I pull off the dead bark?
A: If the bark is loose, go ahead and pull it off. Since the tree is healthy, it should naturally callous over and take care of itself.
Q: What can I do to prevent moss from growing in my yard?
A: Moss generally grows in shady sites with an acidic soil level. If you have trees, I would recommend pruning to allow more light to reach the ground. Also apply lime where the moss is growing to neutralize the soil pH.
Q: Do I need to remove the spent bloom stems from my Stella D'Oro daylilies?
A: When all flowers are finished blooming on a stem, the entire stem should be cut back to the basal foliage. Repeat bloomers like Stella D'Oro and Happy Returns also appreciate a midsummer feeding of high-phosphorus fertilizer.
Q: I have perennial Salvia x superba and Coreopsis grandiflora that need to be deadheaded as their flowers are spent. Do I pinch back the whole purple stem on the salvia? Do I take off just the spent blossom of the coreopsis or remove the stem as well?
A: Pinch back the whole purple stem of the Salvia. For the Coreopsis also remove the stem with the blossom. If all the blooms are spent at the same time you can accomplish this easily with a hedge shears. Otherwise, remove spent blooms individually.
Q: What perennials bloom for a long period of time?
Daylily 'Stella D'Oro', Veronica 'Sunny Border Blue', Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm', Jupiter's Beard and Coreopsis 'Moonbeam'.
Q: My roses have beautiful foliage but the flower buds shrivel and turn black. What's wrong?
A: Your rose probably has been attacked by the rose midge, an almost invisible pest. The female lays her eggs in the rosebud and the emerging larvae feed on the tender new growth. Larvae then overwinter in the soil. Control is achieved by repeated sprayings of both the foliage with an insecticide and the soil with Diazinon.
Q: Can I prune to shape dwarf Fairy Rose bushes to make them more rounded in shape? They have long shoots here, there and everywhere, but not a nice shape to them.
A: You may shorten a few of the longest branches now, but I would not recommend extensive pruning in the heat of the summer when insects are active. Prune lightly in the fall and then do a more thorough spring pruning. Remove any dead wood, thin weak growth, interior crossing branches and about half of last year's growth. As summer progresses, trim back any lengthy wayward branches.

Could your apartment become rent-stabilized? A high-stakes court case could make 100,000 apartments regulated again

December 26, 2017 - 11:30am
By Nathan Tempey
It's common, nay, reasonable to daydream about one day discovering that your market-rate apartment is actually rent stabilized and the rent should be dramatically lower than what you're paying. That dream may be a lot closer to becoming reality than many people realize thanks to a case wending its way through the court system right now.
The short version: The state's highest court is getting ready to consider a West Village landlord-tenant case that has the potential to re-rent-stabilize as many as 150,000 apartments and prompt scores of additional legal battles lasting for years to come.
The case, Altman v. 285 West Fourth LLC, known in real estate circles as "the Altman case," gets its potentially huge impact from a lower appeals court's decision in 2015 that cut against how the state and landlords had been treating rent-stabilized apartments for the last two decades.
[This story was first published in October 2017. We're presenting it again here as part of our end-of-year Best of Brick week.]
Rent stabilization has been around since the 1970s, and changed dramatically in the mid-'90s, when legislators introduced new ways for building owners to deregulate apartments. The city has lost 284,000 rent-stabilized apartments since then, and of those, 152,000 were deregulated through the new means: under the new version of the law, owners could increase the rent 20 percent when an apartment became vacant, increase it further based on a percentage of claimed renovation costs, and deregulate the unit when those methods combined to take the rent above a certain amount. Or so everyone thought.
'This would be huge' for renters
When the 2015 Altman decision came around, landlord lawyers, tenant advocates, and state regulators all agreed that when an apartment was empty and a landlord spent enough money sprucing it up, it could be turned market-rate. What the judges in the Altman case said, and what state legislators seemed to codify in an updated rent law later in 2015, is that actually an apartment's rent has to go over the cap while a tenant is living there in order for it to be deregulated. This means that if, for example, a tenant paying $1,800 for a two-bedroom moves out and the landlord does work enough to raise the rent to $2,800, above the current cap, the apartment is still stabilized until the next tenant moves out.
If that framework were retroactively applied to apartments deregulated the old way, which a New York Court of Appeals decision in Altman could do, "In practical terms this would be huge," says Emily Goldstein, an organizer with the Association for Neighborhood and Housing Development, an affordable housing advocacy group. "First of all, just to re-regulate a number of apartments would be significant. It would also change the calculus of the decisions that landlords make when they try to deregulate apartments."
She explains, "Part of why it's so common for landlords to reach the threshold during a vacancy is that when it's vacant there's no one there to keep track of whether they're doing work or not, and when a new tenant comes in, often not knowing what it is to be regulated, there is often a lot of work that has to be done to figure out even that maybe there should be regulation."
As things are currently set up, it's on the tenant to request his or her her apartment's rent history from the state, then consult with a lawyer to see if she might have been overcharged or improperly denied rent stabilization status, and then file a formal complaint to even get the landlord to produce receipts for the renovations he's claiming. Also, with some exceptions for out and out fraud, tenants only have four years to challenge suspected illegal rent increases, after which they become legal.
"To change that process so that [renovation] would be done in a way where a tenant pays attention to what's going on, because the work is done with someone in the apartment, it would be a lot harder to go against the law or the intent of the law and exploit the lack of oversight that exists," Goldstein says.
So far, no one seems to know what the 2015 Altman decision means. Landlords' approach to registering rent increases on vacated apartments with the state has varied wildly, and some judges have bucked the ruling, including some in lower courts who are supposed to abide by it, treating rent increases the same as they did before.
The landlord community is watching the case's progress through the courts closely, with the Real Estate Board of New York, and the Rent Stabilization Association and others filing friend of the court briefs in support of the appeal, and owner-side attorneys devoting hours at industry conferences to discussing the case.
Mitchell Posilkin, general counsel for the Rent Stabilization Association, said that he believes the appeals court will see the error of the lower court judges' ways.
"The Altman decision was wrong because the court's incorrectly read the statute and incorrectly interpreted the statute to mean that deregulation is determined based upon the rent paid by the tenant immediately prior to vacancy, as opposed to the legal rent which would be charged after vacancy," he says, adding that the nearly two decades of enforcement that preceded the decision should count for something.
"We believe that the way DHCR and the courts have been interpreting this decision since 1997 has been correct and that should carry weight," he says.
Uncertainty ahead
If the decision is upheld and retroactively applied to deregulated apartments, there is a great deal of room for uncertainty and further fights over what that means. For example, what should rents in re-regulated units be set at? Should it be turned back to the last stabilized rent? Should annual rent increases since the last regulated rent be incorporated into the new rate? Should tenants be entitled to damages for the difference between the market rent and the stabilized rent? Should those damages be just the difference between the rent amounts over the years, or should they be the triple damages renters get when an overcharge is "willful"?
What about apartments that have been vacated and improved more than once?
"It's going to be a blank-storm in terms of figuring out what Altman means," Sherwin Belkin, founding partner of the law firm Belkin Burden Wenig & Goldman, told the audience at a large-building landlord conference workshop earlier this month, saying that the main source of the pain will be determining what the overcharge rules are. Belkin's firm prepared industry-side court filings in support of the landlord in Altman.
An inadvertent activist
The man behind the lawsuit never expected any of this.
"I'm just a guy who wants to have my apartment," Richard Altman tells Brick Underground. "I certainly didn't want this to become what it's become. I didn't want to be a poster boy. I've done tenant work. I feel strongly about this. But I never sought this out."
Altman is an intellectual property and media attorney who has also done some real estate lawyering. His saga began in 2004, when he subletted a rent-stabilized two bedroom in the West Village. The leaseholder had moved to California, and Altman says that after 11 months, the landlord, Equity Properties, sued him to collect a 10-percent increase for the sublet, which is allowed under rent stabilization. The rent was $1,829 at the time. The two sides settled the suit in 2005 with Altman agreeing to start paying $2,482, above what was then the $2,000 stabilization cap, and signing a non-stabilized lease.
The building sold not too long after, and the new landlord had Altman sign an agreement acknowledging that the unit was not rent stabilized. And so it sat for the better part of a decade, until 2014, when Altman's rent was $4,100, which he says was getting hard to swing. He grew curious about whether there might be a way to reverse the increases, and got to looking at recent cases about rent regulation.
Then, armed with a novel legal theory, he sued with the help of lawyer Lawrence Rader.
The mid-2000s increases that Altman agreed to were, he says, "obviously very improper, because the status of an apartment can never be effected by an agreement between a landlord and a tenant. It's apartments which are rent-stabilized or not, not tenants. If it fits within the definition, it's rent-stabilized, whether you like it or not."
He lost the case in state Supreme Court, but won on appeal, in a big way.
"The court said that's clearly an illegal agreement. So they sent it back [to the lower court] to calculate the damages," he recalls. "We did spreadsheets and so forth. The lower court judge gave me a $165,000 judgment against the landlord."
The amount was based on the difference between what Altman paid and what the court said he should have been paying, times three. The landlord appealed again, and appeals judges affirmed the money award. Previous attempts to kick the case up to the Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, were denied, but the court finally agreed to hear it this April. The court has yet to put hearings for the case on its calendar, but they could happen as soon as this winter.
In the meantime, the money the landlord owes Altman is accruing 9 percent interest, and Altman is paying no rent, pending the outcome.
Belkin, the landlord lawyer, tells Brick that apart from the vacancy issue, the award of triple damages to Altman is "utterly shocking," because it punishes the landlord "for what I think anyone would recognize is not only following the prevailing wisdom, but the rules that had been enunciated by the agencies and by the courts for years."
Until the case comes up to be argued, Altman, somewhat like the city's landlords eyeing their balance sheets, is hanging on tight.
"I have a tremendous amount of anxiety about it," he says. "I would like it to be over."
"I was in court the other day on a housing case and I mentioned the case to the judge," he continues. "She said, 'A lot of people are waiting on this case.' I said, 'Yeah, a lot of people care about their money, but this is my life.'"
There is some consolation to be found elsewhere among members of the bar, according to Altman.
He says, "A number of lawyers, including landlord lawyers, have told me, 'We think you're going to win.'"

Q: A little assistance with my program I needed some help with this program. I already tried something but it doesn't seem to work. When I click run, nothing happens. I think there may be something wrong with my loop but I am not too sure. Also I do not know how to add the inflation in. Any help is appreciated!
Additional info:
Your parents need to buy a new vehicle and they are trying to
decide whether to purchase a hybrid or not. Hybrid vehicles
produce less CO2 emissions and have better fuel efficiency
compared to their non-hybrid counterpart. However, hybrid
vehicles also cost a lot more money than their non-hybrid version.
Help your parents make a decision as to which type of vehicle to
buy (strictly in terms of the financial cost and not taking into account the environmental
benefits). The typical family drives 20,000 kms each year and gas currently costs $1.30/litre.
Question:
Allow the user to enter the cost of the hybrid and non-hybrid vehicle along with the
combined fuel efficiency of those vehicles. Also, allow the user to enter the average
amount of kilometers they drive each year (note: the average is 20000 km/year). Then o
output how many years of ownership it will take for the two cars to equal in cost.
Assume that the price of gas stays the same at $1.30/litre.
Obviously, the cost of gas will increase each year (this is called inflation).
Incorporate into your calculation the idea that gas prices will rise by 3% each year
(i.e. annual inflation rate is 3%).
This is what I have so far:
i=0 # The year counter
gas=1.30
avgkm=20000
inflation=1.03
standard_cost=0
hybrid_cost=0

standard_cost=input("Enter the price of the non-hybrid car: ")
hybrid_cost=input("Enter the price of the hybrid car: ")
fueleff1=input("Enter litres/100km for the standard car: ")
fueleff2=input("Enter litres/100km for the hybrid car: ")

standardyear=avgkm/100 * fueleff1 * gas + standard_cost
hybridyear=avgkm/100 * fueleff2 * gas + hybrid_cost

while standard_cost != hybrid_cost:
    i += 1    # Add a year
    standard_cost += standardyear
    hybrid_cost += hybridyear
    if hybrid_cost==standard_cost:
        break

print "It will take",i,"years. "

A: I see a couple of issues:
1) Your loop will only exit if standard_cost is exactly equal to hybrid_cost
   you might want to try breaking out of your loop when hybrid_cost <= standard_cost
2) the lines
if hybrid_cost==standard_cost:
    break

in your while loop are redundant with the conditional statement in the while

A: Your loop will stop only if standard_cost equals hybrid_cost exactly. You should stop the loop if hybrid_cost <= standard_cost.

It is necessary to consider the question of powers whenever a public body or institution does something. Whether it is the National Assembly for Wales passing an Assembly Act or a local planning authority granting planning permission, the institution or body must have the power to do it. Without the power the action of the institution or body would be invalid and therefore subject to challenge.
When considering whether the National Assembly can pass legislation on a particular matter, we ask whether the matter is within its legislative competence. This is just another way of asking whether the National Assembly has power to pass a law in relation to that matter. If an Assembly Act is not within the National Assembly's legislative competence, the resulting law is not a valid law. More information about legislative competence can be found here.
Similarly if the National Assembly confers power by an Assembly Act on the Welsh Ministers or a public body, the actions of the Welsh Ministers or that public body are limited by the terms of the power granted.
As well as involving the sharing of legislative power, the devolution process has also led to the transfer of a great many executive powers (in other words powers conferred by Parliament on government) to Wales.
There are a number of sources of power within the United Kingdom. These are outlined below.
For practical purposes, this is the largest and most important source of powers. The vast machinery of government and public administration relies in large part on the use of statutory powers. Statutory powers are conferred by Act of (UK) Parliament or National Assembly Act or Measure, and in some circumstances by subordinate legislation. The UK Parliament and the National Assembly also routinely impose statutory duties on public bodies. The difference between the two, put simply, is that a power enables someone to do something, whereas a duty requires them to do something.
A growing number of statutory powers flow from Assembly Acts and Assembly Measures, both of which have the same legal status as Acts of Parliament (provided they are within legislative competence of course).
In relation to legal matters, 'Crown' is a reference to the ruling Monarch in her sovereign capacity, in which she holds supreme authority. Under common law, the Crown has power to do all the things that a natural person can do. For example, the power to enter into contracts, to employ persons and to buy and sell property. These powers are generally exercised by Ministers on behalf of the Crown. However, Ministers are subject to restrictions in the way they exercise those powers. They are also required to exercise the powers in accordance with the rules of administrative law, and if they fail to observe those rules their actions may be susceptible to judicial review by the courts. For more information about the rules of administrative law, see here.
There is also a source of power known as the Royal Prerogative. The Royal Prerogative is a set of powers which are held by the Crown (i.e. Her Majesty the Queen) and by nobody else. These powers have been greatly reduced over the years, as a result of being restricted by statute or by judicial decisions. The sources of Royal Prerogative power which remain are relatively restricted, and include matters such as the power to declare war, the power to summon and dissolve Parliament and the power to give Royal Assent to Acts of Parliament and Assembly Acts.
UK and Scottish Ministers may exercise Royal Prerogative powers on behalf of the Crown but under current constitutional arrangements the Welsh Ministers cannot. A very broad power was however conferred upon the Welsh Ministers under section 60 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 to do anything they consider appropriate to promote or improve the economic, social or environmental well-being of Wales.
Many public bodies are corporate entities. Most public bodies are statutory corporations, that is corporations established by an Act of Parliament or the National Assembly. A statutory corporation only has the powers expressly conferred upon it by the Act, including anything reasonably incidental to those powers.
Some public bodies are incorporated by Royal Charter (an example of an exercise of the Royal Prerogative). The extent of the powers of a body established by Royal Charter are set out in the charter itself. The National Library of Wales is an example of a body established by Royal Charter.
Where a public body of this nature has power to create a subsidiary corporation (e.g. a company limited by guarantee tasked with specific goals) the subsidiary is also limited by the powers conferred upon its parent.


When it's rainy and snowy and slushy on a Sunday afternoon, movies on television can be your bestest friend. As the film adaptation of Cheaper By the Dozen with Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt approaches theaters, Cinecultist has had favorite childhood books translated to the big screen on the brain. Yesterday, TNT played back to back two Roald Dahl classics turned pretty darn good movies that CC treasured as a kid, Matilda (1996) and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) and CC got to thinking about Dahl's imagination on screen.
Dahl, and by extension movies based on his books, are really best when they're darkest. The treacle-laden ending of Matilda where she finds a family with her teacher, sorta made CC want to puke from the sweetness overload. Which is why we were so pleased with our reviewing of the first hour of the Chocolate Factory, a dark and cynical build-up to the zaniness of Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. CC mostly just remember Oompah Loompahs and the part where the little girl turns into a blueberry, but the first hour recounting how the world goes nuts for the Golden Tickets is quite clever and suspenseful. Charlie is so clearly the main character and yet various circumstances do not make his finding the Golden Ticket a foregone conclusion. The film is also filled with details that jab at popular culture in a very cutting way. Newscasters relay breaking news about the contest as though it were the most arresting thing occuring on the globe and one vignette shows a woman weighing a box of Wonka bars versus her husband's life.
Also, the image of the four grandparents all in the same bed end to end is so odd and yet unexpectedly sweet, it's a delightful rendering of Dahl's imagination. We can only have such high hopes for the Tim Burton remake in the works.


salmon and tzatziki dinner – ugly food tastes better.
So i knew immediately what i wanted to do with my CSA dill and cucumbers. Tzatziki, Greek cucumber sauce, is one of my all time favorite condiments, as are all of its cousins, like Indian raita, etc. It is just so cool and refreshing and goes on everything from bread to fish to chicken to veggie curry. Like everything else, I make a ton so i can eat it all week while making a mess only once. I hate cleaning.
Nutrition – high in fat, but healthy, fishy fats that your body needs.
Step 1 – So i have this little spritzer bottle of olive oil that I like to use when i only want a little but i want it to go a long way, i highly recommend it. Go ahead and spritz your salmon steaks with oil and rub with garlic and dill, squeeze your lemon end over both sides and then place your rings on top.
Step 2 – Throw those babies on the grill (or foreman or grill pan or whatever youve got) for 10-12 minutes, depending on size, flipping halfway through and transferring your lemon rings. Now put your starch on (i made garlic couscous) and start making your tzatziki.
Step 3 – mix all tzatziki ingredients with the exception of the lemon, which should be squeezed over it. Season to taste. Here you can either leave it as is, or you can put it in a food processor if you want more of a sauce. (this is more for gyros, etc) I left mine chunky. Plate and serve. Nom.

Service excellence is a term used to describe the delivery of service beyond what normally would be expected by your customers. It is about creating a memorable service experience rather than simply fulfilling customer requests. Every service experience is comprised of several service touchpoints, and our passion at B.Williams Enterprise is to assist organizations to enhance each of them.
B. Williams Enterprise offers a dynamic learning experience for any level of your organization. We offer training for senior leaders, middle managers, & front-line experience creators (your line staff). The service excellence courses are designed to not only inform but to help translate intangible concepts into relevant behaviors as well.

Q: Collision not working on the ceiling All the collisions are working except the "ceiling" what am I missing here?
local screenGroup = self.view

jetSpriteSheet = sprite.newSpriteSheet("helicopters.png", 97, 55)
jetSprites = sprite.newSpriteSet(jetSpriteSheet, 1, 4)
sprite.add(jetSprites, "jets", 1, 8, 600, 0)
jet = sprite.newSprite(jetSprites)
jet.x = -80
jet.y = 350
jet:prepare("jets")
jet:play()
jet.collided = false
jet.name = "jetplayer"

physics.addBody(jet, "dynamic", {density=.1, bounce=0.1, friction=.2, radius=10, filter=playerCollisionFilter } )
jet.gravityScale = 0

jetIntro = transition.to(jet,{time=2000, x=150, onComplete=jetReady})
screenGroup:insert(jet)

ceiling = display.newImage("invisibleTile.png")
ceiling.name = "ceiling"
ceiling:setReferencePoint(display.BottomLeftReferencePoint)
ceiling.x = 0
ceiling.y = 0

physics.addBody(ceiling, "static", {density=.1, bounce=0.1, friction=.2,} )

local function onCollision(event)
    if event.phase == "began" and gameIsActive == true then
    local obj1 = event.object1;
    local obj2 = event.object2;
        if obj1.name == "jetplayer" then
            if     obj2.name == "BCloud1" then MinLife()
            elseif obj2.name == "BCloud2" then pontsMin10()
            elseif obj2.name == "BCloud3" then pontsMin20()
            elseif obj2.name == "GCloud1" then pontsplus50()
            elseif obj2.name == "ceiling" then explode()
            elseif obj2.name == "theFloor" then explode()
            end
        end
    end
end
Runtime:addEventListener( "collision", onCollision )

A: Just replace the following line:
physics.addBody(app, "dynamic", {density=.1, bounce=0.1, friction=.2, radius=10, filter=playerCollisionFilter } )

as below, and check again:
physics.addBody(app, "dynamic", {density=.1, bounce=0.1, friction=.2,filter=playerCollisionFilter } )

I am not fully aware of this behavior of corona. Here the object with radius (jetplayer) is choosen as obj2. So, either you may remove the radius, if not needed, or change the function as:
if(obj1.name == "jetplayer" or obj2.name == "jetplayer")then
    if(obj1.name == "ceiling" or obj2.name == "ceiling")then
        explode()
    end
end

Keep coding..........:)
