The Villisca Ax Murder House in Villisca, Iowa
Do You Dare to Spend A Night in a Haunted House In Vallisca, Iowa?
THE HORRIFIC STORY OF VILLISCA AXE MURDER IN VILLISCA, IOWA
The terrific crime scene in the quiet town of Villisca, Iowa still haunt many. Happened in 1912, the gruesome tales of murders are said to be the worse in American History. On July 10, 1912, the neighbors opened the door of Moore's Hose; they were shocked to find eight dead bodies. The most horrifying part was that all of them were stabbed with an axe.
These victims included the Moore himself, his wife Sara, their four children and two neighbors who were friends with Moore's elder daughter. Sadly, all of them were killed while sleeping. However, Lena, twelve years old, was killed alive. According to the reports, a stranger entered Moore's house through an unlocked door (the town was pretty safe during those times, and sleeping with doors unlocked was not something unusual) in the middle of the night. With the help of an oil lamp, the murderer made his way through the house and went upstairs with an axe in his hand. Before killing everyone in their sleep, he covered the mirrors and windows of the house with clothes. When he left, he locked the door behind him with the keys.
To date, the suspects behind this heinous act remain a mystery. Police were able to link the murders to a few people, including Frank F. Jones, who was an Iowa State Senator. It is believed that Moore was having an affair with his daughter. Another suspect was William "Blackie" Mansfield who was a known serial killer. Mansfield was believed to be the murderer of his wife, child and in-laws. A few more axe murder cases occurred in the town after Moore's family murder. According to some sources, Mansfield was hired by Jones to kill Moore but soon, he was released because of absence of solid proof against him.
George Kelly was also suspected for the killing of Moore's family. Kelly, who was a traveling minister, was arrested after he sent letters to police and Moore's family inquiring about their death. He had also been in mental hospital in Washington before the murders. Before admitting to hospital, he was arrested previously for sending indecent material through the mail. However, despite all this, he was proven innocent in Moore's murder case due to his health condition.
Similarly, many other people were questions, but all the efforts led to dead ends and unfortunately, no justice could be served. This innocent family lost their lives for God knows what reason.
The Ghost Encounters at the House
Parts of Inside the Villisca Axe Murder House!
After their murder, the house remained empty for some time. Later, it attracted families who lived there for years but never stayed for long. It is reported that it is due to ghosts that scare the families away. Many people have reported the strange sounds, footsteps, shadows, things moving by themselves and a lot more than you cannot even imagine. Some have also mentioned that inside the house, they felt like someone was following them through the corridors. They could see shadows of a group that quickly disappeared.
Story of a Ghost Hunter
Many years back, a ghost hunter visited the house in search of possible spirits of Moore and his family. Instead, he was ended up in a hospital with a stab wound to his chest. It is believed that he stabbed himself while he visited the house. But as per researchers, it was a job of a spirit living inside Moore's house.
Tours and Stays

Mercer County is a county on the southeastern border of the U.S. state of West Virginia. At the 2020 census, the population was 59,664. Its county seat is Princeton. The county was originally established in the State of Virginia by act of its General Assembly on March 17, 1837, using lands taken from Giles and Tazewell counties.

Mercer County is part of the Bluefield, WV-VA Micropolitan Statistical Area.

History

Battle of Clark's House (1862)

Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the county has a total area of , of which  is land and  (0.4%) is water.

In 1863, West Virginia's counties were divided into civil townships, with the intention of encouraging local government.  This proved impractical in the heavily rural state, and in 1872 the townships were converted into magisterial districts.  Mercer County was divided into five districts: Beaver Pond, East River, Jumping Branch, Plymouth, and Rock.  In the 1970s, Mercer County's five historic districts were consolidated into three new magisterial districts: District 1, District 2, and District 3.  The new districts were renamed "District I", "District II" and "District III" during the 1980s.

Major highways

The West Virginia Turnpike, now part of Interstate 77, begins in Princeton.

Politics
Mercer County's political history is largely typical of West Virginia. It was supportive of remaining with Confederate Virginia when the state was created and voted Democratic in the first few post-Civil War elections. However, the influence of coal industry executives turned the county towards the GOP during the "System of 1896". As with most of West Virginia, extensive unionization caused the county to swing to the Democratic Party during most of the twentieth century, but an extremely rapid swing towards the Republican Party has occurred since 2000, due to declining unionization, along with regional views on environmental, social and cultural issues that are increasingly at odds with the national Democratic Party.

Pedestrians walk past The Trump Building on Wall Street in New York.
President Donald Trump's habit of exaggerating or misrepresenting the effects of New York City's worst terrorist attack on him personally began the afternoon of Sept. 11, 2001.
As The Washington Post's Timothy Bella reported Tuesday, Trump was asked by New Jersey station WWOR to weigh in on the import of the attacks on the World Trade Center only a few hours after planes struck the twin towers. One of the station's reporters asked Trump whether a building he owned – 40 Wall Street, a few blocks from the site of the attacks – had suffered any damage.
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat tracks skyscrapers around the world. As of this moment, Trump's building at 40 Wall Street, called the Trump Building, is the 32nd-tallest building that either stands in New York City or is slated to be built there.
Many of the 66 tallest buildings or planned buildings aren't in Lower Manhattan, generally defined as below 14th Street. Trump said downtown Manhattan, which is generally considered to be the same area. The tallest building in that lower part of the island is the tallest building in the city – and the Western Hemisphere: One World Trade Center, the building that replaced the twin towers.
That building, of course, wasn't in Lower Manhattan on the day of the attacks. It's a remarkable testament to the recent economic boom in New York City that so few of the 66 tallest buildings were in existence in late 2001. Only 15 of them were, including Trump's building on Wall Street.
Many of the new additions aren't in Lower Manhattan but, instead, in Midtown or on the southern end of Central Park.
Of those four buildings, Trump's ranked second in height, by 25 feet, to a building one block to the east (70 Pine).
There was a period during which Trump's was the tallest building in Lower Manhattan, but it wasn't immediately before the construction of the World Trade Center in the 1970s. It was for about two years in the 1930s, well before Trump owned it – or was born.
Obviously, that Trump chose to focus on his building's newly elevated status on the day of the attacks themselves was odd. (One WWOR reporter who was there at the time used the word "stunned" to describe how he felt in the moment.) But it's hardly unusual that Trump should make such a claim, and it's not unusual that the claim should be inaccurate.
To that end, 40 Wall Street joins several other Trump exaggerations or falsehoods about the 9/11 attacks, including that he "helped a little bit" with cleaning up Ground Zero or that he saw Muslims in New Jersey celebrating the towers' destruction. The attacks of Sept. 11 play an outsize role in the American imagination. And, it seems, in Trump's.

ICAF in Brazil: Escola da Dança Livre da Maré
Posted on mei 11, 2016 by Eugene van Erven
From 22 April to 6 May 2016, ICAF artistic director Eugene van Erven and producer Anamaria Cruz travel around Brazil to scout community art projects that have links to the 'Movement' theme of ICAF 2017. This is their journey.
Anamaria and I have now been back in Holland for three days, both of us suffering from a major cold and a spectacular jetlag that is undoubtedly enhanced by the intense and inspiring experiences we had in Brazil. But we still owe you a report on a last-minute visit to a very special arts organization. Last Friday, on our way to the airport for our return flight to The Netherlands we stopped in the Maré Favela. The evening before, we had we met internationally renowned choreographer Lia Rodrigues and her dramaturg Silvia Soter in a café near the Botanical Gardens. It seemed like both they and us wanted to first check whether a visit to Maré would be worth the effort. On Thursday night, Silvia and Lia were exhausted after a long day of rehearsals with their professional dance company with another rehearsal scheduled for the next day. Anxious about their imminent tour to Germany, they could do without extra work. Over a cold glass of fresh orange juice (a Brazilian favourite) they told us about their company, their move to Maré in 2003 and how that decision changed their lives and the community they found there. And we told them about ICAF and how different our event is from conventional performing arts festivals. It must have intrigued them sufficiently to make the effort to organize an on-site visit the next day. For us it turned out to be very worthwhile indeed.
Silvia picked us up in her car to drive us down to the Nova Holanda ['New Holland'!] section of Maré around 1 PM. We passed a group of crack addicts living on the sidewalk of the main thoroughfare leading into the favela. The centro de artes de Maré is located at the beginning of a block in one of the side streets. It is actually housed in a converted abandoned indoor shipyard with enormously high ceilings with fans and two connected hangar-size halls. On the left is an improvised reception, an exhibition area, a public library and a performance space with a few lights and a gradient of piled-up wooden pallets for people to sit on. On the right is a big rehearsal space where Lia works with her professional dancers. She and Silvia had organized for us to get a taste of daily life in Maré and to meet with Redes de desinvolvemento de Maré ['the Maré Development Network'], a consortium of social agencies that tries to make a difference in this highly troubled neighborhood and that works closely with the dance company. Guided by Daniel, one of the art center volunteers, we walked through the crowded alleys of Maré to the headquarters of Redes.

There, Patricia, a leading figure in the organization, told us about the many things they do, ranging from adult education and political lobbying to improving infrastructure, public security and counseling. Art and culture constitute a major aspect of their work and she particularly emphasizes the positive impact the Escola de dança libre de Maré [the free dance school of Maré] has had. Just imagine a major, internationally renowned contemporary dance company suddenly settling in one of Rio's most violent areas. Needless to say, it immediately provoked curiosity from the locals to come watch open rehearsals followed very soon by requests for free dance workshops. The rest, as they say, is history. The Lia Rodrigues Dance Company has by now become fully accepted by the Maré residents, including the four competing gangs that operate there in different sub-divisions. The professional artists perform for their neighbors, but there is now also a company of highly talented aspiring dancers that have come up through the workshops that cater to a sheer endless pool of novices.
In 2007, the dance company decided to combine its community outreach work under the new name of the Maré Arts Center. Collaborating closely with Redes, this center coordinates the free dance classes, cultural education activities, community festivals, talks and lectures, film screenings, and photo and other visual arts exhibits. The dance classes themselves annually cater to more than 300 children, teenagers and adults from all over the Maré (which has a total of 150,000 inhabitants). A handful of these have now become professional dancers, but the impact of the dance company and the arts centers can be felt throughout the crowded and noisy streets of the Maré. In 2014, Lia Rodrigues was deservedly awarded the Prince Claus Award for her bold move and vision to challenge her own work and the professionals she works with to explore the genuine social relevance of contemporary dance right in the midst of the messy, complicated and ever-changing but oh so inspiring and vital context of Maré.

Home/africa/The world will return to normal as the Covid-19 will be finished in a year, says the head of Pfizer
The world will return to normal as the Covid-19 will be finished in a year, says the head of Pfizer
africa September 28, 2021 africa
Washington – The world will return to normal life as the Covid-19 will be finished in a year, said Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, while insisting on the need for annual Covid coups.
"Within a year I think we can get back to normal life," Bourla said in an interview with ABC's "This Week."
However, "I don't think that means the variants won't keep coming and I don't think that means we should be able to live our lives without getting vaccinated," Bourla said. "But that, again, has yet to be seen."
Bourla's statement coincides with the head of Moderna, Stephane Bancel, who last week said the pandemic will be over in a year.
Even the former head of the Food and Drug Administration, Scott Gottlieb, has said that the current wave of Covid-19 cases driven by the Delta coronavirus variant will end Covid, but it may continue to be endemic. .
As a result, Bourla suggested that annual coronavirus vaccines are likely to be needed, CNBC reported.
"The most likely scenario for me is that because the virus is spreading around the world, it will continue to see new variants coming out," Bourla said.
"We will also have vaccines that will last at least a year and I think the most likely scenario is the annual vaccination, but we don't really know, we have to wait and see the data," he noted.
Last week, the head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, authorized the distribution of Pfizer and BioNTech Covid-19 booster shots to those in high-risk work and institutional settings. , a move that overturned an advisory group.
Walensky approved the distribution of booster shots to older Americans and adults with underlying medical conditions at least six months after their first series of shootings, according to the advisory panel, according to the report.
Meanwhile, a number of scientists and the World Health Organization strongly oppose a widespread launch of booster shots, saying richer countries should give additional doses to countries with minimum vaccination rates.

Transportation funding becomes NJ priority
Geoff Mulvihill
TRENTON – Funding for transportation projects has long been simmering as an issue in New Jersey.
Now, it's coming to a boil.
Last week, a coalition of business, consumer advocate and planning groups called for a new funding structure. Days later, Gov. Chris Christie nominated Democrat Jamie Fox to head the state's transportation department, and he was confirmed by the state Senate on Monday.
On Wednesday, the state Assembly's transportation committee is holding a hearing on funding for projects.
Here is a look at issues involved:
Q: How does New Jersey pay for transportation projects?
A: The state uses money from the gasoline tax (at 14.5 cents per gallon, it's among the nation's lowest); a tax on firms that refine or distribute petroleum projects; a portion of the sales tax and a relatively small allocation from toll road authorities. For the current fiscal year, that revenue comes to $1.2 billion. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is paying for an additional $375 million in New Jersey projects.
But the transportation trust fund is troubled. Policymakers say that the state should pay for road and transit projects as work is done. But New Jersey has instead long been funding most work by borrowing.
This year, it expects to pay $1.2 billion in debt service for previous projects. To help fund that, the state is issuing $1 billion in new bonds.
Q: What's the shape of New Jersey's transportation system?
A: There's broad agreement that a lot of roads and bridges could use upgrades. One report has identified more than 2,000 bridges with structural deficiencies. Advocates say the state needs to make improvements to reduce commuting times, car repair bills and to be more attractive for trucking and warehousing businesses.
Q: What does the state need to do?
A: Forward NJ, a coalition of business groups, transportation advocates and other organizations, is calling for the same thing that Democratic lawmakers want: a permanent source of funding for the projects. It says the state needs to spend $20 billion on projects over the next decade, but the group has not advocated for a particular method of raising that money.
Q: Does there need to be a tax increase to pay for transportation projects?
A: Advocates generally think there does.
Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto, a Democrat, said he is open to ideas about which tax or taxes would need to be raised and by how much. He said possibilities include raising the per-gallon gasoline tax, imposing a sales tax on gas or raising the petroleum tax.
Gov. Christie, a Republican who generally opposes raising taxes, said last week that "all options are on the table," but he did not speak specifically about what they might be or which he prefers.
Q: What does it mean that Christie named a Democrat to be his next transportation commissioner?
A: Democrats are praising Fox as both a transportation expert and a savvy politician. He has served as a top aide to Gov. Jim McGreevey. He served as state transportation commissioner more than a decade ago and has also been deputy executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The Democrat-controlled state Senate confirmed him Monday.
"I think it's a good step in the right direction. I think Jamie is very well respected by everybody," Prieto said. "He knows the need."


A 23-year-old Odem man is dead after his vehicle fell off an overpass near Calallen on Monday night.
A 23-year-old Odem man is dead after his vehicle fell off an overpass near Redbird Lane in Calallen on Monday night.
Lt. J.C. Hooper, a spokesman for the Corpus Christi Police Department, said the crash happened at 11 p.m. in the 13000 block of U.S. Highway 77.
Hooper said the 23-year-old driver was traveling northbound on the highway in his 2012 Ford pickup at a high rate of speed before the vehicle flipped off the overpass.
The pickup landed on the road below, killing the driver and injuring his female passenger.
The 22-year-old passenger was transported to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
The Nueces County Medical Examiner's Office identified the driver as Fredy Monreal of Odem.
Hooper said there was evidence that alcohol could have been involved in the crash.

Q: How to disable autocomplete in ? I'm making my term paper using JSF 2.0, Java 6 and Tomcat 7, but I'm having some doubts in the development.
In my project I have a <h:inputText> tag
<h:inputText value="#{turmaMBean.nome}">
    <f:ajax event="keyup" render=":meuForm:minhaTabela" />
</h:inputText>

I want to disable autocomplete. I already tried:
<h:inputText value="#{turmaMBean.nome}" autocomplete="false">
    <f:ajax event="keyup" render=":meuForm:minhaTabela" />
</h:inputText>

However, it didn't work. What can I do to solve this problem?

A: I found the answer. I searched a lot about this issue and I discover this isn't an issue. When I try to do the following:
<h:inputText value="#{turmaMBean.nome}" autocomplete="off">
        <f:ajax event="keyup" render=":meuForm:minhaTabela" />
</h:inputText>

I didn't restart my Tomcat Server, and by some strange way Tomcat doesn't updated my view properly. When I tried to restart the server, this attribute start work.
So, if you need to turn the autocomplete off, use:
autocomplete="off"

This probably will work - don't forget to restart  the server, sometimes Tomcat like play with us :p.

Alex Dueben: You're a former president of NCS up to now few years you've got been chairman of the NCS Foundation I admit that I am knew I might have learn the press release concerning the pageant. I'm in all probability not alone on this just at first, might you speak a bit of concerning the foundation and what are you doing?
Some read this know or have participated in a European pageant, however for many who don't, what do you do at Huntington Seashore and how would you like this pageant to really feel?
Everybody has been? comic, but as we speak it's troublesome for the public to get tickets for an enormous comic. You may be in any contract – a plumber conference – and truthfully it's only a nice soulless room with no home windows which have strains of sellers and distributors. The pageant is totally totally different from the truth that Huntington Seashore a lot of the programming is free. We have now an open-air marketplace where individuals who will not be notably fascinated by cartoons can walk and study. We have now workshops which are free and accessible to families and youngsters. We make readings within the library. Huge names do that without spending a dime. We've got four main exhibitions, three within the artwork middle and one in Pacific Metropolis. We have now a large family space with which we now have collaborated with the Chuck Jones Creativity Middle. We have now a window route the place we've been married to a comic book ebook artist recognized for 50 enterprise ventures and have owned comics of the window area. It's a approach to be a part of the group, rejoice comics and cartoons and artwork type the environment of the pageant. There are sketchy photocopies and ink matrices with a reduce that you simply get by means of your head.
The final is Charlie Adlard, the artist of The Walking Lifeless. Considered one of our partners at the Lyon Pageant has ordered a composer and so Charlie is going to reside on this big tent when this composer plays stay music specifically made for this function and is preceded by a zombie stroll on the pier. We're working with Orange County Faculty of the Arts. We are very wanting to contain native faculties in every little thing we do. The Orange County Faculty of Arts Theater Department makes makeup in order that youngsters can paint them as zombies and be a part of a zombie walk. We received the Artistic Writing Department to put in writing an Orange County-themed comic ebook and then we acquired the graphic department to do the essential needs and then all these superstars come and reside to draw this forty yard long cartoon. It's a option to interact individuals and let individuals see the incredible world of cartoons and all the cool things we will do with it. We've reside exhibits. We work in class packages. We invite college students. We are going to do Spanish-language packages. There are a whole lot of cool issues you possibly can't find in the comedian. Con is principally the people who sell you products, and it's not a comic book and comic get together, so it returns to some extent.
There are lots of individuals within the pageant – Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez, Ed Brubaker and Joyce Farmer, Lewis Trondheim and Dan Clowes. Many individuals, most of whom weren't in touch with NCS.
We attempt to point out this to be an enormous church. I feel the NCS's perception is that previous white guys doing cartoons – and that's not. Part of this dimension is to vary this concept. Take a look at who we're as members. Take a look at what artwork we rejoice. Take a look at the exhibitions. Final yr I made football historical past at the UK Soccer Museum in the United Kingdom final yr, so we had the straightforward precept of being here, although it has extra LA Galaxy and US football, nevertheless it's principally a soccer history. We rejoice 90 years in Popeye, all over the place. We now have a French show the place they imagine basic cartoon values for ladies. The exhibition discusses the underrepresentation of girls in comics. See our guest record. We try to be as comprehensive and complete as potential. You'll be able to attempt to break some of these myths which have grown up round NCS. There's a truncation between the comedian ebook group with comics that cross towards these previous dinosaurs. I feel all of the comics, in all probability with out exception, are cartoon followers. Anyone who does a great job will challenge your complete spectrum. The software may need changed, but good work continues to be an excellent job, be it 95 years previous or 15 years previous. Certainly one of this selfish facet is the introduction of the NCS and its mild beam and what we do and who we are. On the similar time, we're entertaining for the general public.
We've added classes. There are two categories of webcomics, we've simply launched a spread group, a web-based animation. We have fun images, promoting, animation. We understand, for example, that my son Luke and his means of doing enterprise are utterly totally different from my business at his age. There are similarities, however it is utterly totally different. He has by no means sent a postcard or taken out an commercial within the search e-book or anything. She creates social media for every day comedian and her followers embrace journalists and consumers. When his comics go viral, art administrators contact him. Even older comics are studying about younger comics from social media and webcomics. Everyone is focused on adapting and imagining new methods to work. And in return, we will help younger comics. We've got many years of institutional knowledge to help advisors with contracts and rights. So we might help younger comedians, but we will additionally study from younger shooters and explore emerging markets that didn't exist 20 years ago.
When you will have compiled this visitor record, however, Reubens Weekend means you have got lots of of comedians, however it appears that evidently California appears to be on the listing.
We've a head start because another pageant must invite friends and learn how they will convey them in. that we convey a couple of hundred well-established cartoons to the town. So from a logistics perspective, we've got a guest record with a couple hundred cartoons before we do something. A number of the prices are signed by the publishers, a part of the French comic e-book affiliation, a few of which are issued by syndicates. One purpose for choosing Southern California is that there are so many studios and publishers and artists in this a part of the world. So it's straightforward to get Floyd Norman, Disney's animation legend, because he lives in LA. Sergio lives in Ojai. Ed Brubaker is straightforward because he lives in LA, but Sean Phillips lives in the UK. Nevertheless, Sean is an NCS member so we will say to Sean what we will do to get you right here? Similar with Charlie Adlard. A few of it is just sensible.
The difference between the pageant and European festivals is the fact that in Europe there are places the place the price range is half one million euros to arrange the pageant. We get nothing of this. We're non-profit, and whereas we work with our companions, resembling King Features and Wacom, we work with a restricted price range. We don't have the finances to fly individuals around the globe, however as a result of we've a group that's like Tom Richmond and Invoice Morrison teams, we're accustomed to using the Reubens and we know how one can negotiate for inns and we know that from the logistics aspect. Once we deliver Julie Tait and Mathieu Diez we now have these individuals with unimaginable expertise and connections. If we had finished the cold, I don't know learn how to deal with the police, the hearth and the town, and the permits and insurance. Market organization is an unbiased full-time job. Logistics is staggering. That's why I couldn't work out find out how to do it earlier than I made these connections. The opposite aspect of the coin is that they're excited to work with NCS. We've got acquired this cross-pollination in order that yr 2 already is aware of that we've got individuals coming from Finland, Japan, China, and we've got already acquired concrete assurances from people who need to be part of this. It's a combination of want record and practicality. The lengthy story is short that the guest listing is pragmatic, however then some issues are just in your arms. Liniers is an enormous celebrity and the king's qualities stated he thought he needed to be concerned and we stated sure thank you!
Beforehand on the difficulty of variety and this is the conversation we've been in cartoons. NCS is primarily a white and male group, although it's less than before. Julie Tait and the Lakes Pageant have been a part of the talk on variety, not in a good way. Huntington Seashore and Orange County have a fame for being unhappy with many individuals. It's straightforward so that you can be a flippant and say that we've got three of the world's biggest comics – Jaime, Gilbert and Sergio – no one is white, however might you speak about the way you strategy this?
Will you do this subsequent yr?
We undoubtedly don't know. It is an trustworthy fact. Every week that follows then begins to look greater and more successful. The town puts transport buses in the parking zone and wraps them in cartoon themes. Huntington Seashore and Pacific Metropolis have given us large incredible stores totally free so we will exhibit at exhibits. In the middle there's a shop with televisions and we are always utilizing Popeye comics. We have now a pop-up that they've given us for months, and we've signatures and occasions. The Pacific City has given us this excellent area, featuring an exhibition by the French comedian e-book affiliation. We expect that is very successful, and in that case, we might be silly not to do this many times. The fascinating half is that we're still doing Reubens here? Because the 1980s, we have now taken the Reuben Awards on the street. Some have been very profitable, however probably the most successful Reubens have been either on the coast – LA and Orange County or New York and New Jersey. We get far more involvement. If we do the pageant every year here and we hold Reubens every year here, we should always reply it on the east coast. We don't know, however on the time Reubens comes, we should always know. If I have been a gambling man – and the Englishman, I in all probability – I might put money on us doing it again. And why don't we like Reubens here if we will throw such a spotlight? What we don't need to do is to separate our members across the country. We're still kicking concepts. Is there an enormous Christmas celebration in New York? Might we give inheritance awards like Gold Key and Caniff? An alternative choice could be to take a look at NCS Fest East? We really do not know at this point, however we do not reject something.
Huntington Seashore needs us to return again and do this. Once you speak to artists from around the globe are, and also you say, we throw this pageant and we point out those names and also you inform them that it's in Southern California, the weather is beautiful, it's half an hour away from Disneyland. these moist and windy contracts in places no one needs to go in the winter. [laughs] That's quite a bit, however the proof is within the puddle. Once we have been tilting it, I might simply rise up a lot. It's straightforward to step into individuals who know the world, but when you're used to surfing competitions and volleyball competitions, it explains a bit. Second yr, we have now details and figures to help us go to town and business sponsors.
I laughed because Reuben's candidates have been announced this morning. Are you dragging anyone?
No. [laughs] Luke advertises, so I feel I can pull Luke. [laughs] I need to see that totally different names and totally different works are enlightened. We've had fascinating names that win over Reuben in recent times, Roz Chastista Glen Keane.
When you've got accepted the NCS, it was often knowledgeable validation of your place. It was troublesome to arrange to get there – as any professional group must be. It opens the door to the fees of the elite. We've got tried to dispel this idea, however that is nonetheless the group of professional comics organizations. What has modified is knowledgeable cartoon theme in the 21st century. Perhaps you don't make your life a full-time syndicator. These days, perhaps this means you're working in an promoting company, however you've got, for instance, large monitoring of social media. There at the moment are revenue streams that have been exceptional 30 years in the past. Thus, the definition of "professional comedian" has advanced. But one facet that never modifications is networking. Individuals need to see their pals and chat. How it changed – and I can in all probability go on perpetually – however it was that you simply labored separately. You'll be able to call them up, however you not often have the prospect to see your mates. It has modified to an ideal extent. You is usually a moment. There are conventions. NCS has numbers. Now it's easier to interact with your friends to make some difference to this facet, however NCS continues to be a great way to get in contact. Perhaps you have an interest in the good issues we do. Perhaps you need to make hospital visits and raise cash for charity. Perhaps you're on the lookout for this bare and ask how does this assist my profession? We have now giant furnishings in all places and we offer free table area for our members. We provide reductions on issues like Wacom units. Get big discounts on the desk at NCSFest! Our members are publishers, syndicate managers, artist leaders – so there are hyperlinks that are supposed to be made.
In case you are one of the NCS Fest members, it means you're a longtime professional, so we offer you a free membership yr. A couple of years in the past, we introduced 27 golf equipment especially to artists 27 and under. It costs $ 27 a yr and is filled with NCS members until they flip to 28 and get all the advantages of the group. What higher method to get a discount on Wacom? There are many provides and networking opportunities. I feel what you do about being trustworthy with you. When you simply need to have fun, we are an enormous get together group, however we're rather more. I can't think about not eager to be part of NCS. I joined the NCS once I first got here to the states as a result of I had heard lots about it. The first comics I met in California have been Mell Lazarus and Sergio Aragones. I used to be thirty, and it was so thrilling to satisfy these guys they usually have been fantastic individuals. So I don't assume I will get away from the fact that most comics are fans. I don't know any young comics who haven't any hero, whether it's Sergio or Mort Drucker or perhaps they study to learn part by reading Family Circus.
I appear to NCS's advocate, but I encourage all younger artists in Southern California to discover the NCS Fest. If not, take a look at the native chapter. We now have every nice comic. It will probably't hurt your career participation and chances are you'll get lots of it off. It's Steve's # infomercial NCS. [laughs] And so that we might visit a spot like St Jude and work together with these youngsters and their households. We put 60 cartoons within the room and make the youngsters giggle at our drawings and draw with us, and it takes their minds to battle for a while. To be a part of a corporation that does such stuff, if it was the only thing we did, the whole lot else can be only a bonus.

El Codi Gregorià o Còdex Gregorià (en llatí Codex Gregorianus) era un codi legal compilat pel jurista Gregorià (de vegades anomenat erròniament Gregori).

Estava dividit en llibres (un nombre desconegut) i títols. Els fragments del codi comencen amb les constitucions de l'emperador Septimi Sever (196) i acaben amb les dels emperadors Dioclecià i Maximià (285 a 305). Era una obra individual privada que després va gaudir de la protecció imperial i usada als jutjats com a obra autoritzada. Els codis Teodosià i Justinià el van agafar de model.

Gregorià era el suposat compilador del codi Gregorià. De la seva personalitat res es coneix i tanmateix el nom és dubtós i deriva del títol de Corpus Gregoriani, que apareix en alguns manuscrits de les restes del codi, i al Consultatio veteris Icti.

Al codi Teodosià apareix aquesta passatge: "Ex his omnibus Juris Consultoribus, ex Gregoriano, Hermogeniano, Gaio, Papiniano et Paulo, quae necessaria causis praesentitum temporum videbantur, elegimus".

Alguns historiadors l'identifiquen amb el Gregori al que Dioclecià va dirigir un rescripte el 290, i amb el Gregori que va ser prefecte del pretori amb Constantí I el Gran el 336 i 337 tot i que els dos probablement eren la mateixa persona. El còdex Gregorià s'hauria compilat als voltants de l'any 295, però en un moment posterior a aquesta data.

Government Official: ETs Walk Among Us
Terrance Aym
(This article is originally from: http://members.beforeitsnews.com/story
/1472/110/Government_Official:_ETs_Walk_Among_Us.html)
A former Chinese official has come forward to reveal new evidence that extraterrestrials walk amongst the peoples of Earth. These beings are everywhere—from lowly factory workers to the highest echelons of industry and government.
Sun's drawings of ETs that appear as humans [agoracosmopolitan.com]
Sun Shili, a former Chinese official, has come forward to reveal knowledge that extraterrestrials are on Earth. He asserts the ETs can be found everywhere—from lowliest factory worker and farmer to the highest positions of industry and government.
And the Chinese people are listening.
The mysterious Xianyang Pyramid complex thought to be ancient ET base
Chinese culture more open to idea of ET races
The aging authoritarians that ran China from their seat of power in old Peking under Mao are all gone. The new China is much more open to the evidence of ETs in their culture and history.
A government-financed team is even now exploring a mysterious pyramid some researchers claim is an ancient, gigantic alien base. [Before It's News: Alien Base Found At Chinese Pyramid]
Aerial view of Xianyang Pyramid complex revealing flat landing platform
But some of the power structure controlling China still carries vestiges of the bad old regime. Those elements fight against freedom of information, the Internet and even the freedom of private text messaging.
Yet those powers are being distracted as China's economy is floundering and most of their time and energy is now spent on the growing problem of supporting a slumping economic system.
With China's emerging economic woes the leaders' main worry is forestalling potential civil unrest: millions of poor Chinese from the rural areas continue to flood industrialized cities seeking jobs—jobs that are drying up.
Because China is in a state of flux—both politically and economically—decades-old restrictions designed to muzzle people like Sun Shili have loosened. And as China's grip eases, truth, in all its facets, begins to shine through like sunlight peeking through turbulent storm clouds.
Like the truth about UFOs, extraterrestrials, and strange paranormal visitations.
Over the past two decades, UFO and paranormal investigatory organizations have sprung up in China like proverbial flowers after a rare desert downpour. The Chinese people accept the mysterious with open arms. They've always been interested in the odd, the bizarre, the unexplainable. Their ancient literature and texts—some of the oldest in the world outside the ancient writings of Sumeria and Tibet—are crammed with accounts of otherworldly visitors, amazing encounters with ETs and strange visitors suddenly appearing in remote Chinese villages.
An ancient scroll shows two beings in a craft flying over the clouds
The growth of these organizations is almost exponential, perhaps that's not too surprising in a country with a population exceeding 1.3 billion people.
The Occidental versus Oriental approach
Today, China has more UFO organizations supported by real scientific organizations, universities and the general community, than any other nation on Earth.
Many of the organizations are now funded by the government that once suppressed them. Almost all fall under the banner—or are associated with—the National Society of Extraterrestrial Studies (NASETS).
Directly supported and funded by the government, NASETS is something Chairman Mao would have frowned upon in his day.
The organization's the exclusive domain of accredited engineers and scientists and one-third of NASETS members are also government employees. The rest hail from universities or industrial research centers.

Members must also hold Ph.D.s in their scientific or engineering field and have at least several peer-reviewed studies published about Unidentified Flying Objects or extraterrestrials.

Compare that approach to the subterfuge and misinformation the military-industrial-government complex in America and other Western countries regularly foist upon their hapless citizens.
Among the hundreds of accredited scientists working with NASETS, Sun Shili is one that promotes the idea that extraterrestrials are living and working among humans right now.
A retired foreign ministry official, Sun currently heads the respected Beijing UFO Research Society, a duly related arm of the all-encompassing NASETS.
Craft's lights flare up before UFO shoots away [Nationalufocenter.com]
Close encounter changes Sun's perspective on reality
Back in 1971, Sun witnessed a remarkable object hovering over rice fields in a remote region of China.
Working in the area to fulfill a government mission during Mao tse-Tung's "Cultural revolution," Sun spotted a brightly glowing daylight object that zoomed up and down in the sky.
He says at the time he assumed it was some sort of government monitoring device—although the technology driving the object was actually far beyond any country on Earth—and it wasn't until years later when he read of specific UFO encounters that he realized the object he saw was not manufactured by humans.
Record of an alien encounter – from an ancient scroll
Enlargement of writing – note inclusion of alien symbols
Sun's viewpoint is not unique, it's shared by many others.
Among those who agree with Sun is rocket scientist Shen Shituan. Shen's the authoritative president of Beijing Aerospace University, a prestigious and powerful position. Shen is also an honorary diirector of the 50,000 member government-sponsored China UFO Research Association.
Shen stresses that all reports of ET contact to the association are important. "Some of these sightings are real, some are fake and with others its unclear. [Yet] all these phenomena are worth researching," he told a Chinese television reporter.
You won't hear that from NASA or your friendly, neighborhood United States Air Force.
Representation of UFO flying near China's Great Wall
Sun and the UFO-ET research organizations in China believe that solving the ongoing UFO enigma might lead to forms of vastly advanced technologies including non-polluting, almost limitless energy.
The knowledge gleaned from contact might also lead to better farming techniques, material science applications and new methods of travel that are faster, safer and cheaper.
Sun claims he has also tracked down aliens posing as humans and they are embedded in society.
Abduction cases galvanize UFO community and Chinese press
Abductions occur in China as they do in every other country. One of the best known cases of alien abduction occurred during 1994.
In the U.S., authorities treat abductees as kooks and crackpots.
Disc-shaped flying saucer similar to type that abducted Meng Zhao Guo
The case of Meng Zhao Guo
One of the best known cases of alien abduction occurred during 1994. A young logger named Meng Zhaoguo spotted something unusual land near a patch of woods. He and several of his co-workers went to investigate it. As is often the case, witnesses to an ET craft landing think it's a small airplane in trouble that made an emergency landing.
Meng, from the village of Wuchang in Heilongjiang province, left the Red Flag logging camp with two co-workers and together they made their way to Mount Phoenix where the craft appeared to go down.
What happened next is eerily similar to the famous Brazilian case that made world headlines years before Meng was born. Except unlike the Brazilian case, the young Chinese had witnesses to his abduction.
After being paralyzed with a powerful light beam, Meng was transported into the craft and met by aliens. At one point during the lengthy encounter a naked female alien with humanlike qualities allegedly had sexual intercourse with him. Meng described her as very human, but almost 10-feet tall. She also had six-fingered hands.
About nine years later, during September 2003, a UFO researcher headquartered in Beijing oversaw a battery of tests on Meng. He had the logger undergo hypnosis, lie detector tests, police interrogations and psychological exams. A medical doctor anlyzed scars that Meng claimed were left by alien probes when the creatures performed medical tests on him during the abduction.
The final verdict: Meng was telling the truth.
All the experts concurred the man had undergone a harrowing experience that tallied with the physical evidence and state of his psyche. Even the medical doctor admitted that the scars were not the result of a normal injury or any surgery known.
Chinese radar routinely tracks UFOs making impossible 90⁰ turns
The case of Cao Gong
Five years after Meng's abduction by occupents of a UFO near his logging camp, a middle-aged man named Cao Gong was abducted in Beijing. While he was not enticed into sex with any of the aliens, they did transport him to a far away Chinese city, Qinhuangdao. He described the craft as a classic disc-shaped flying saucer.
Cao testified that the ETs "…looked like humans but had large hands and were very pale."
What interested researchers most about Cao's abduction experience was his claim that while aboard the craft he met a Chinese girl who told him she was from Qinhuangdao. He described the girl as a 13-year old.
Formal investigation of the case began about eight months after the incident, during the summer of 2000. Once again a battery of experts and tests seemed to prove an abductee's story true. Cao's testimony was also given weight because he was a serious educator and the principal of a well-known private school in a suburb of Beijing.
Cao told investigators that the girl and he had a lengthy conversation. She told him why she was there and claimed that "The aliens cured her disease in the flying saucer."
The lead researcher on the Cao case, Zhang Jingping, had the Tangshan Bureau of Public Security sketch artists create a picture of the girl based on the principal's detailed description. Using computer-imaging they reworked the image until Cao confirmed it looked exactly like her.
Then an adventure began like no other in the annuls of UFO investigations. Rounding up Beijing University students as assistants, Zhang set off in November 2002 for Qinhuangdao—a city with a population of 400,000. The task seemed next to impossibe: find a teenage girl in a city of hundreds of thousands with nothing more than a computer-generated photo.
They found her.
Of course, by then she was 15, two years after the abduction. With the permission of state authorities, Zhang brought the girl back to Beijing. There he arranged a meeting between her and Cao. Upon meeting her, the educator confirmed she was the girl he met aboard the flying saucer.
The girl remembered him too and confirmed she had been very ill and the aliens on the craft cured her of her sickness. She said she was glad to meet Cao again. The investigators were both thrilled and amazed.
This major case is still under investigation.
Alien figurine, Han Dynasty…note the six fingered hand
Although a book is due out in China about the remarkable Cao case, several university studies have already been published about it.
Meanwhile, the authorities and media in America and Europe completely ignore it.

These days, it has become critical to construct and renovate buildings in an energy and resource-efficient way. If you're stuck on knowing whether your building is, in fact, sustainable, rating systems have been created known as Green building rating systems. But as they consistently expand and increase in popularity, it becomes more and more complicated to know which one to choose or to know which one is right for you and your business.
So we're here to give you some insight into how these rating systems work and which one will be best for you and your business.
What are green building rating systems and why are they useful?
Green Building rating systems use an objective way of certifying that your building is in fact as sustainable as you claim. Green Building rating systems use benchmarks from buildings around the country and the world to understand what is possible for best practice reduction in resource consumption and other green building areas. The systems are extremely useful as guides to help the design and construction team to think of and cover as many aspects to sustainability as possible.
How do the rating systems work?
Rating systems can be applied to new or existing buildings, to both the design and construction as well as the operational practices. Most rating systems work on a credit or point systems which are broken down into categories. The building project will earn points to the degree that it is compliant with the available credits. The project is audited and the points are accumulated to determine what rating (silver, gold, platinum etc.) the building will be awarded.
The implementation of these systems requires some experience and expertise as the scope is large and the documentation relatively intensive. Fortunately this can be outsourced to external accredited professionals who can guide and lead you through the process. At Ecolution Consulting we can offer all of this and more in the form necessary for you and your project.
The benefits of these ratings certifications include:
Reduced environmental footprint
Improved health & productivity
Lower operating costs
A future-proofed building and investment
Enhanced Marketability
What are the different rating systems and which one is right for me?
One of the fastest growing global green building rating systems, this system is used by the The Green Building Council SA to recognise and reward environmental leadership in the existing environment. The certification promotes integrated, whole building design whilst reducing the environmental impact of developments and recognising environmental leadership.
Different rating tools exist for every market sector, consider this certification if:
You are working on a new build / major renovations.
You would like your existing building's operational performance to be re-evaluated and assessed.
You are working on master planned developments at precinct and neighborhood scale and require consultation on how to make them as sustainable as possible.
You are working on interior projects and would like assessment on the interior fit-outs and their environmental attributes.
At Ecolution Consulting, we drive Green Star submission processes to ensure each building that we work with is as sustainable and innovative as possible, whilst ensuring that the Green Star certification criteria are met and the project is recognized and rewarded as such.
DOWNLOAD the Green Star brochure.
2. NET ZERO
The Net Zero Certification is aimed at projects that go beyond the partial reductions that are recognized in the Green Star tools, and have taken the initiative to reach the endpoint of completely neutralizing or even positively redressing their carbon emissions; water consumption; solid waste to landfill and their negative ecological impacts.
A Net Zero building will implement efficiency measures and interventions first and then offset the remaining demand through either on-site solutions, off-site solutions, or offsets, such as carbon credits and similar initiatives.
You can achieve a Net Zero Certification in the following fields:
Net Zero Carbon
Net Zero Water
Net Zero Waste
Net Zero Ecology
At Ecolution Consulting, we guide building projects through the Net Zero certification submission to ensure they are as sustainable as possible, meet the certification requirements and are recognised as such.
DOWNLOAD the Net Zero brochure.
3. LEED
LEED (leadership in energy and environmental design), the rating used by the US Green Building Council, is the most wide-spread and internationally recognized green building certification. Through a rigorous, documented process that relies on performance and measurement, LEED rewards and certifies best-in-class building strategies and their practices.
Consider this certification if you are working on any of the following projects:
Building Design & Construction
Interior Design & Construction
Operations & Maintenance of existing buildings
Neighbourhood Development
Ecolution Consulting drives LEED strategy and submission process to ensure each building that we work with is as sustainable and innovative as possible, whilst ensuring that the LEED certification criteria is met and the project is recognised and rewarded as such.
For more information on LEED certification, go to the LEED certification page on the United States Green Building Council's website.
4. EDGE
EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) is a tool aimed at increasing energy, water and materials efficiency in the South African residential sector. EDGE is a measurable way for residential developers to optimise the performance of their building design. The certification requires achieving a minimum saving of 20% in the three categories: operational energy, water usage and reduction in embodied energy.
The benefits of the EDGE certification results in Residential Developments and homes that:
Are at least 20% more energy efficient and use at least 20% less water
Have at least 20% less embodied energy (energy associated with materials use)
Have sustainability embedded into construction processes
Lead to long-term environmental savings
Sell better, are affordable and lead to long-term economic savings
EDGE is a relatively new certification scheme by the Green Building Council of South Africa, there aren't many companies that can claim experience in this field. Ecolution Consulting was responsible for guiding the first EDGE project to receive final certification in Africa. We are able to assist in the roles of Project Admin and Auditor on behalf of the client. We also have a proven track-record in reducing the overall cost of certification, thereby driving down costs and increasing project margins.
DOWNLOAD the EDGE brochure.
By ensuring your building is as environmentally friendly as possible not only means you're doing your bit for the planet by conserving natural resources, reducing waste and cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions. It's also an opportunity to be more cost-effective, by saving on resources like water and energy consumption and a means to improve the water and air quality, thus improving the health and productivity of those who occupy it.
And with green building rating systems gaining popularity, they are becoming an increasingly important way to set apart your building from the competition.

We all love using our mobile devices all the time. But are they truly better for digesting media – like streaming movies and tv shows or listening to music – than say, a television?
These days kids are more likely to be found Facetiming friends, uploading pictures to Instagram, and creating GIFs or memes to share on Facebook than watching TV. Gradually, technology is replacing the need for physical interaction but with more smartphones being sold than ever before, will we soon be bidding a fond farewell to the television?
Unlike television where you're stuck doing only one activity – today's multitasking, on-the-go teens need something that'll let you do more. Smartphones, with their multi-window interface, are designed to let us browse the net while still leaving a music video open, albeit in a smaller screen, so we can see or listen to what's going on without having to stop the action. The internet is now capable, by using intelligent algorithms, of telling us what we like, suggesting things for us to try, and informing of us of new products based on our browsing history.
We bet you're either reading this in bed, on the subway, in the office, while waiting for a friend or just chilling on the couch. Today, we like the freedom that cell phones give us. If you're watching movies for such purposes, these apps are the best because we aren't restricted to one room. We don't need to wait until we get home to catch up on a show or switch on the radio to listen to the news. We have been given the gift of being able to stay connected while on the move. Last year, even London's famous 'no signal zone' had Wi-Fi installed in countless stations which meant people could make phone calls, check emails and text while travelling.
Apps like Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp and Kik, will notify you when someone's sent you a new message. You can hold entire conversations, send videos and even pictures without having to close any other apps. You don't need to call them up – seriously who calls anyone anymore? You don't even have to visit them in person to be able to see them, plus you can discuss what the plans for the weekend are while seamlessly shopping online for an awesome new outfit. Television might be able to stream YouTube videos, Netflix and the BBC iPlayer, but unless you've got a top of the range model we highly doubt you're able to google, search and buy clothes while Anita's telling you all about her amazing date.
Remember when you were a kid and your parents controlled what you watched? Yes we weren't too fond of it either, but now the world is your oyster. Anyone over thirteen, for some sites, and eighteen for others can watch a whole range of content without being restricted to boring things like days of the week, TV schedules and even show times. Missed an episode? Watch it online. Fancy trying something new? Watch original content from a bespoke media platform without annoying commercials. Unless you've got Tivo, you can't rewind, fast forward or pause TV either. Mobile or device streaming lets you do all that and more and will even remember where you stopped watching for next time.

Q: Brightness control not working after Power change Everything was working fine until I tried to change the brightness once. Then whenever I plug in/out power to the laptop Brightness of the screen sets to zero.
I also tried to change the brightness from System Settings/Brightness & Locks but found out No Slider there.
I could only reset brightness manually by running
$ sudo su
# echo 150 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

I tried to change Dim screen to save power option too but it did not affect anything.
Also the Brightness control keys do not work once power is changed.
Everything works as normal once I manually adjust the brightness to 150.
What is the problem?
