With the news that Manchester United have signed Radamel Falcao on a £20-million loan from Monaco, ensuring the Old Trafford club snare Tuesday morning's transfer deadline day headlines, here are 21 things you should know about the Colombian striker.
1. Radamel Falcao has taken his name from a Brazilian legend.
Radamel Falcao García Zárate was born in Santa Marta (twinned with Miami Beach), to Radamel and Camenza, on February 10, 1986, months before Brazil's Paulo Roberto Falcão played in his second World Cup. In his first, in 1982, the AS Roma central midfielder, once the highest-paid player in world, was one of the stars of the tournament.
In the semi-final against Italy he equalised with a rasping drive to make it 2-2 before Pablo Rossi hit his third goal in the classic match. The result "broke my heart", the Brazilian said. But he went on to make 28 appearances for his country, retiring after the 1986 World Cup.
Radamel García, the striker's football-mad father, named his son as a tribute to Falcão. As a teenager the youngster adopted his middle name and it stuck.
2. His old man could play a bit, too.
Radamel García was a tough and uncompromising Colombian defender in the 1970s and 1980s, and had an excellent mullet hairdo.
3. Falcao almost moved to Ajax aged 11.
In the first of a number of missed transfer opportunities which have punctuated his career, the forward had a trial with the Amsterdam club, but was snubbed.
4. He had a professional contract by the age of 13.
Falcao's professional career actually began a couple of years after his Ajax miss, with Lanceros Boyacá in the Colombian Categoría Primera B (second tier). And he made his debut on August 28, 1999, at the age of 13 years and 199 days, thus becoming the youngest debutant at that level of Colombian professional football.
5. He earned his nickname 'El Tigre' at River Plate, who he signed for aged 15.
The Buenos Aires giants discoved Falcao when he was playing for the Colombian under-17 side. After training with Colombian club Millonarios, who did not take up their option to purchase the forward, Falcao was sold in February 2001 for £300,000 (and made his first-team debut in 2004). Unsurprisingly his attacking potency and tenacity led to the moniker, The Tiger. Falcao loves the name, and purs when called it.
6. If he had not been a footballer he would have been a writer.
In fact, before he was recruited to join the River's youth academy, Falcao had begun journalism studies in at the University of Palermo in Buenos Aires.
8. He has twice had to undergo surgery on his right knee.
The first occasion was in a match for River Plate against San Lorenzo in November 2005. He missed the remainder of the Apertura with the ligament damage and then during pre-season training in January 2006, he sustained more damage to the knee, and required surgery which kept him out of action for another six months.
8. In all he scored 34 goals in 73 appearances for River Plate.
And it was also the last time he had short hair, before moving to Porto in July 2009 for a fee of €3.93 million (£3.11 million).
But the club were reluctant to pay an additional €700,000 requested by the striker. Days later he moved to Porto, where he would net an incredible 62 goals in 69 games until his next move in the summer of 2011.
10. Falcao is better than Jürgen Klinsmann.
At least in terms of goals scored in a single Uefa Cup / Europa League Cup campaign. The German's record, achieved for Bayern Munich in the 1995-96 season, was 15 and Falcao managed 17 in 2010-11 as Porto won the Europa League, defeating SC Braga.
11. He scored in that Europa League final.
It was the only goal of the game. "Scoring a goal in a final like that is something that marks you," he said at the time, not very modestly.
In July 2011, Falcao extended his contract with the additional contract clause, and while Porto paid a £5 million commission to increase the Colombian's stay they soon made their money back, and more.
13. Falcao replaced Sergio Agüero at Atletico Madrid.
After Manchester City had swooped for their star player Atletico bought Falcao for £35 million, making him the most expensive player in the club's history. He went on to score 68 goals in 83 games, and led then-Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola to name him "the best forward in the world in the penalty box".
14. He nearly signed for Chelsea before Atletico.
When Andre Villas-Boas moved from Porto to Stamford Bridge he put pressure on the Blues board to take the forward, but they were not interested. They could have signed him for £25 million, apparently. And to think they blew £50 million on Fernando Torres ... Another near miss.
15. Falcao really likes the Europa League.
A year after success with Porto, in the 2011-12 with Atletico he claimed glory again, and bagged a brace in the final against Athletic Bilbao.
16. He also really likes the Super Cup.
Falcao became the first player to score a hat-trick in the Uefa Super Cup when he did so against Chelsea in September 2012.
16. Falcao's idol is Theirry Henry.
At least that is what he said when he signed for AC Monaco last summer, inking a five-year contract worth around £15 million in wages a year. The forward said of his £52-million move: "My heart has been with Monaco since my idol Thierry Henry played there."
17. His goals cost Monaco almost £5 million each.
In his injury-wrecked season in France he managed 11 goals in 17 appearances, which equates to £4.7 million per goal.
In 51 games. Falcao's nine goals in the South American qualifiers paved the way for Colombia's return to the World Cup for the first time since 1998. He first represented his country in the under-17s and was part of the team that won the 2005 edition of the South American Youth Championships. For the senior side, Falcao's first goal came against Montenegro during the Kirin Cup held in Japan during 2007.
19. Falcao's right knee went under the knife again in January.
He missed the World Cup, though he did travel to Brazil after saying that cheering from the sidelines was "the smartest thing to do". He said: "I had great hope to play but, well, one has to support the team from outside and wish it the best."
20. The player who injured him received death threats.
While some Colombia fans lit candles others sent death threats to Monts d'Or Azergues defender Soner Ertek.
21. He is a devout Christian.

Will the album become extinct as a format?
During the course of recent years, sales of albums have been going down, dominated by streamed tracks and playlists. What the stats are showing is that in 2013 in UK there were 30 million fewer albums sold than in 2009, while UK fans streamed an estimated 7.4 billion songs. There are 1.5 billion playlists just on Spotify, against compared to only 1.4 million albums. More and more bands and musicians are stating that they will not make new albums, because the format is dead.
What is happening with the dominator of the music industry during the last few decades?
The answer is simple – the online digital streaming services provides customers more flexibility. Flexibility to listen carefully selected their favorite hits and create customized playlists. Having the complete albums is not always what listeners want anymore. Musicians must come to terms with this trend and offer individual tracks for download and streaming or risk a severe drop in listener base. On the other hand, there will be always fans who want to own the full album. There are still those who appreciate just sitting back to listen to a whole album, and letting one artist take them on a journey.
So, what is the future of the album? Will it die? What do you think?

John Emil Blankeneagel, American friend of Soviet consul Pavel Yatskov in Mexico City.
This nickname probably came about because Blankeneagel and consul Pavel Yatskov liked to go icefishing together, see Oleg Nechiporekno's book Passport to Assassination. HQ suggests checking the LICALLA and LIENVOY records - this looks like an attempt to guide any researcher away from checking the LILYRIC records for the Soviet embassy. The importance of the LILYRIC records was that this was the most likely spot to have captured pictures of Oswald entering or exiting the embassy. This seems to indicate that the LILYRIC records were a hot topic even then. Note that the final entry (6/24/64 cable from Mexico City to Director) refers to LILYRIC on 9/30 and 10/1 but not on 9/27, even though the photos would be useful to determine if Yatskov was there that day. The MC office seems to be trying to avoid a discussion if Oswald appears or does not appear on the 9/27 LILYRIC photos!! Oswald allegedly came to the Sov consulate on 9/27 and 9/28 - there was no LILYRIC coverage on 9/28 because it was a Saturday. Most important is the admission by WH/1 Terry Ward that HQs hasn't known for the last eight months since 11/22 who Oswald talked to at the Soviet Consulate! It's an incredible admission. Between Oct. 1963-June 1964, the Mexico City station's story was that Oswald talked to Kostikov. This shows that that HQ appears to have been completely uncertain as to which Soviets Oswald had spoken with. The writer even makes a point of saying that Oswald "claimed" to have visited Soviet Embassy on Sept. 28. This would indicate the writer's uncertainty whether Oswald visited the Soviet Embassy at all on Sept. 28. All signs are that the Mexico City memo was written by Win Scott himself.
Goodpasture's notes on MEXI 9948: "During Subject's (Subject is LIOVAL-1) (John Emil BLANKENEAGEL) 11-12 June 64 trip with Sov Consul Pavel Antonovich Yatskov (KGB), latter mentioned could do favor for Subj and import rifle free of duty from U.S. for Subj's hunting interests. Subj casually responded that Y could probably order one from KLEIN discount store Chicago. This caused Sov to ask Subj if though OSWALD actually Pres K's assassin. Subj definitely believed this true basis newspaper accounts. Y countered saying did not believe OSWALD involved and briefly explained his position by foll(owing): 'I met OSWALD here. He stormed into my office and wanted to introduce and recommend him to the Cubans. He told me that he had lived in the USSR. I told him that I would have to check before I could recommend him. He was nervous and his hands trembled, and he stormed out of my office. I don't believe that a person as nervous as OSWALD, whose hands trembled, could have accurately fired a rifle.' Above is full extent of Y's statement as recalled by Subj, who did not try to elicit further..."
6/23/64 WH/1 T. Ward to Mexico City, slugline RYBAT REDCOAT LIOVAL-1 GPFLOOR: "Pls check LICALLA and LIENVOY records try (to) determine if Yatskov was in Mexico City during period Oswald there and if Yatskov in Sov embassy Saturday 28 Sept, day which Oswald claimed had visited embassy and talked to consul...Also cable your views (on the) possibility (that) Oswald could have met Yatskov rather than or in addition to Kostikov."
1/4/65 memo indicates that Yatskov was cultivating Blankeneagel.
6/24/64 cable from Director to Mexico City (DIR 30547): "Pls check LICALLA and LIENVOY records try determine if Yatskov was in Mexico City during period Oswald there and if Yatskov in Sov Embassy Saturday 28 Sept, day which Oswald claimed had visited embassy and talked to consul (Mexi 7025, 23 Nov), also cable your views (on) possibility Oswald could have met Yatskov rather than or in addition to Kostikov."
6/24/64 response cable from Mexico City to Director (MEXI 0005, ref DIR 30547): This memo uses LILYRIC to track Yatskov's movements on 9/30 and 10/1, but not for Friday, Sept. 27, probably because that was the day that Oswald allegedly visited the Soviet consulate several times. The writer concludes: "Feel quite possible that Oswald spoke to Yatskov basis 1 Oct 63 LIENVOY: When Oswald spoke with Obyedkov, Oswald said had talked with a consul on Saturday, did not name Kostikov. It was Obyedkov who asked suggestively -- if it was K and Oswald said yes, possibly without thought. Direct HQs attention to this transcript, note however Kostikov has dark hair, Yatskov light brown and very grey at temples, giving appearance of almost white hair. Could also well be that Oswald first spoke with Kostikov who turned Oswald over to his boss Yatskov. Also, given the apparent frankness of Y's discussions with LIOVAL-1, particularly his views (about) Stalin and Khrushchev, would appear possible he tole L-1 truth re Oswald, at minimum re meeting Oswald."

A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for a new Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamp developed by Infineon Technologies AG and LEDON Lighting Jennersdorf GmbH has been completed, following the methodological considerations described in ISO 14040. The goal was to understand the environmental performance by calculating the contribution of the LED lamp to global warming by quantifying the greenhouse gas emissions over the product´s life cycle and to compare its performance with an equivalent conventional product - the incandescent lamp. The results served as recommendations for further design and development efforts for this of the LED lamp.

Q: JQuery .each processing before Ajax I have a Javascript (Jquery) function that iterates over input elements in a form, assembles an array to JSON stringily, and then posts it to an AJAX endpoint. The each is running after the AJAX call, and I am not sure what the most accepted method is for calling the AJAX endpoint after the each.
My function:
function FormHandler() {
    var data = [];
    $("form#myForm :input").each(function () {
        var input = $(this);
        var field_key = input[0]['name'].substr(4);
        var value = input[0]['value'];
        data[field_key] = value;
        console.log(data);
    });
    $.ajax({
        dataType: "json",
        url: 'https://myendpoint.xxx/v1/' + pathname,
        type: 'POST',
        data: {'data': JSON.stringify(data)},
        success: function (thisdata) {
            console.log(thisdata);
        }
    });
};

Calling this AJAX sends an empty data array in JSON, but the console logs in the foreach show the data element growing by the next input value at each turn. I have tried placing the AJAX call in a function after the each's first function, but that doesn't work.
Thanks for the pointers.

A: You need to change var data = [] to var data = {}.
In the each-loop you're adding properties to an array, which JSON.stringify does not pick up on.

On my walk from the Royal Foundation of Saint Katharine in Limehouse to Liverpool Street station, I stopped at a number of points associated with the stories of the Jewish East End, including the Congregation of the Synagogue of the Congregation of Jacob on Commercial Road, and Fournier Street in Spitalfield.
Christ Church, Spitalflieds, on the corner of Commercial Street and Fournyer Street, also has links with the old Jewish community in the East End, because the memorial plaques from the Jews Chapel in Palestine Place, Bethnal Green, were moved here in 1897 when the chapel closed.
Christ Church, Spitalfields, one of London's outstanding baroque churches, was built between 1714 and 1729 to a design by Nicholas Hawksmoor. The church is on Commercial Street, on the western edge of Tower Hamlets and facing Spitalfields Market and the City of London. This is one of the first and one of the finest of the so-called 'Commissioners' Churches' built for the Commission for Building Fifty New Churches, established by an Act of Parliament in 1711.
The Act aimed to provide 50 new churches to serve the new populations on the fringes of London. The commission members included Sir Christopher Wren, John Vanbrugh and Thomas Archer, and Nicholas Hawksmoor and William Dickinson were appointed as Surveyors to carry out the programme.
In 1710, the roof of Saint Alfege, Greenwich had collapsed, and its parishioners petitioned the commission to provide money for rebuilding the church. It became the first of the series that Hawksmoor designed. When the programme expired in 1731, only 12 of the proposed 50 churches had been built.
Nicholas Hawksmoor (1661-1736), a former assistant of Sir Christopher Wren, was a leading figure of the English Baroque style of architecture in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. He worked alongside the principal architects of the time, Christopher Wren and John Vanbrugh, and contributed to the design of some of the most notable buildings of the period, including Saint Paul's Cathedral, Wren's churches in the City of London, Blenheim Palace and Castle Howard.
● Saint George, Bloomsbury (1716-1731).
They compare in their complexity of interpenetrating internal spaces with work at the same time in Italy by Francesco Borromini. Their spires are essentially Gothic outlines executed in innovative and imaginative classical detail.
The parish for Christ Church, Spitalfields, was carved out of the huge mediaeval parish of Stepney parish for an area then being populated by Huguenots or French Protestant refugees.
At first, some Huguenots used Anglican church for baptisms, marriages and burials, but not for everyday worship, preferring their own chapels. But increasingly they assimilated into English life and the liturgical life of the Church of England.
Work on building Christ Church, Spitalfields, began in 1715, when the foundation stone was laid by Edward Peck. Edmund Gibson, Bishop of London, consecrated the newly-completed church on 5 July 1729.
Hawksmoor's design for Christ Church shows his usual abrupt architectural style. His very plain rectangular box of the nave is surmounted at its west end by a broad tower of three stages topped by a steeple that is more Gothic than classical. The magnificent porch with its semi-circular pediment and Tuscan columns is attached bluntly to the west end: it may indeed be a late addition to the design intended to add further support to the tower.
As with Hawksmoor's other London churches and many of Wren's churches, the central space consists of the nave and two axes, the shorter originally emphasised by two entrances of which only that to the south remains. It has a richly decorated flat ceiling and is lit by a clerestory.
The aisles are roofed with elliptical barrel-vaults carried on a raised composite order, and this order is also used for the screens across the east and west ends. The Venetian window at the east may show the growing influence of the revival of Palladian architecture, or it may be a rhyme with the arched pediment of the entrance portico, repeated in the wide main stage of the tower.
The east window is a double window, one inside, one outside, the effect now obscured by the Victorian stained-glass window between the two.
The organ installed in 1735 was built by Richard Bridge, a celebrated organ builder of the time, and Handel once played on the organ. With over 2,000 pipes it was the largest organ in England when it was built, and continued to hold that record for over 100 years. Remarkably, much of the original organ survives, including the Georgian organ case which is largely of walnut.
Following a fire in 1836, Wallen Son and Beatson, local architects and surveyors, provided a substantial estimate to repair the church.
The church was altered in 1850 by Ewan Christian, the architect of the National Portrait Gallery. He removed the side galleries, blocked in the windows at the corners of the central space, and combined upper and lower aisle windows to make tall, thin windows. The stained-glass windows were fitted in 1876 by Ward and Hughes of Soho.
When the Jews Chapel in Palestine Place, Bethnal Green, ten plaques were moved from the chapel and hung in the vestibule of Christ Church in 1897.
The London Jews Society, now the Church's Ministry among Jewish People (CMJ) was formed in 1809. It first worked among the poor Jewish immigrants in the East End, but soon spread to Europe, South America, Africa and Palestine.
In 1811, the society leased a five-acre field on the Cambridge Road in Bethnal Green. A school, training college and the Episcopal Jews' Chapel were built there, and the campus was named Palestine Place. In 1813, a Hebrew-Christian congregation called Benei Abraham (Children of Abraham) started meeting at the chapel in Palestine Place.
The missionaries associated with CMJ include the Revd Joseph Wolff (1795-1862), a German rabbi's son, who was baptised by a Benedictine abbot in Prague in 1812 and was ordained priest in the Church of Ireland in 1838 by Richard Mant, Bishop of Down and Dromore, and the Revd Moses Margoliouth (1820-1881), a former curate of Glasnevin, Dublin (1844-1847), who was born to Jewish parents in Poland and had a rabbinical education. Both received degrees from Trinity College Dublin.
Many off the plaques moved to Christ Church bear inscriptions in Hebrew and include the names of evangelical Anglicans and converted Jews who were ordained. Those named include Jane Cox, who endowed Christ Church, Jerusalem, which still remains outside the jurisdiction of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem – some critics say it is a thorn in the side of the Anglican presence in Jerusalem.
During World War II, the crypt of Christ Church was used as an air raid shelter. By 1957, the church was declared unsafe, and the parish Sunday services were moved to Hanbury Hall, a former Huguenot chapel in Hanbury Street that served as the parish hall.
By 1960, Christ Church was almost derelict, and the roof was declared unsafe. The then Bishop of Stepney, Trevor Huddleston, proposed demolishing the empty building, but the Hawksmoor Committee staved off the threat of demolition.
The roof was rebuilt with funds from the sale of the bombed-out shell of Saint John's, Smith Square, now a concert hall. In 1976, the Friends of Christ Church Spitalfields was formed as an independent charity, was formed to raise money and project manage the restoration of this Grade I listed building so it could be brought back into use.
As part of the restoration programme, the burial vaults beneath the church were cleared. The Friends of Christ Church raised funds for the employment of an archaeological team, and almost 1,000 burials were excavated in 1984-1986.
The portico at the west end was repaired and cleaned in 1986, and Ewan Christian's rearrangement of the aisle windows was replaced by a recreation of the originals, scrupulously researched.
Church services returned to the partially restored building in 1987. The 202 ft tower and spire were consolidated and cleaned in 1997, the south façade was cleaned and repaired in 1999, and Hawksmoor's double flight of steps on the south side, removed in the 19th century, was rebuilt.
In addition, the gate piers of the rectory yard were repaired, and the large iron gates restored. Regency style railings to the churchyard, removed in World War II, were replaced. The north and east façades were repaired and cleaned in 1999-2000.
A rehabilitation centre for homeless alcoholic men was housed in part of the crypt from the 1960s until 2000, when it relocated to purpose-built accommodation above ground.
The restoration of the interior began in 2000, and the restoration of the building was finally complete in 2004, enabling a wide range of uses to run alongside the primary function of Christ Church as a place of worship.
In 2015, the crypt restoration was completed, restoring much of Hawksmoor's original walls as well as providing a café area. In 2016, the restoration of the crypt was shortlisted in the RICS Awards.
Today, thousands of people visit Christ Church, Spitalfields, some to pray, some to marvel at its restoration and its beauty, some to soak up its history.

Hulk Vs Wolverine:– Wolverine is employed by the military and sent into the Canadian wilderness to stop a rampaging Hulk. There he discovers that the Hulk is the alter ego of Bruce Banner. Both Wolverine and Banner are then captured by various mutants working for the Weapons X program. Realising that the Weapons X scientists intend to use the Hulk's genetic material to build an even more powerful soldier, Wolverine tries to stop this and fight his way out of the facility. Hulk Vs Thor:– In Asgard, it is the Odinsleep, the time when Odin must rest. This means that the realm is vulnerable and an opportunity that the Ice Giants and other creatures take to attack. Loki snatches up Bruce Banner and with the help of the sorceress Amora is able to physically separate him from The Hulk. Loki then sends The Hulk to attack Asgard where he proves invulnerable to anything the Asgardians can bring against him. Thor realises that the only way to stop The Hulk is to reunite it and Banner.
Marvel Comics have had huge success on the big-screen from the beginning of the 2000s onwards. During this same period, DC Comics also enjoyed success with their dvd-released DC Universe Original Animated Movies. This was something that Marvel sought to replicate in a series of animated films. These include Ultimate Avengers (2006), Ultimate Avengers II (2006), Doctor Strange (2007), The Invincible Iron Man (2007), Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow (2008), Thor: Tales of Asgard (2011) and Iron Man: Rise of Technovore (2013). These have never met the same success as their DC counterparts, despite the employment of some of the same creative personnel – Sam Liu, who directs Hulk Vs Thor, has become near-ubiquitous in the field of the DC Universe Original Animated Movies, for instance.
Hulk Vs is actually two short films, Hulk Vs Wolverine and Hulk Vs Thor. Hulk Vs Wolverine runs to 37 minutes, while Hulk Vs Thor comes in with slightly longer length at 45 minutes. Both come from the same creative team and both feature Fred Tatasciore, who has voiced The Hulk in numerous other Marvel animated and videogame incarnations, as The Hulk and Bryce Johnson as Bruce Banner. Both are standalone stories and it does not matter which order in which you watch them.
I had low expectations of these Marvel animated films, most of which have not been particularly good. It was thus that I was surprised by Hulk Vs, which easily emerge as the best of the bunch seen so far. Watching Hulk Vs Wolverine first, I was blown away. The entire segment has been conceived as no more than a superheroic punch-up set against the background of the Weapons X program who are wanting to make super-soldiers out of the Hulk's DNA. (In actuality, Hulk vs Wolverine is more of a Wolverine film that it is a Hulk film with Wolverine being the principal point-of-view character).
The Hulk goes up against Wolverine
Recruited for the occasion is also a number of B-list characters, including Sabretooth, Lady Deathstrike and Omega Red. The unexpected one among the bunch is Deadpool and the surprise is how much Hulk vs Wolverine gets the smartass backtalk and wry quips of the character down before Ryan Reynolds stepped into the part in Deadpool (2016) seven years later. If you weren't aware of the release dates, you would think that Hulk Vs came after Deadpool and they had modelled the character here on Reynolds' performance and voice. Supervising director Frank Paur does a top-notch job with the superheroic action.
After such a fine start with Hulk Vs Wolverine, Hulk vs Thor comes as somewhat quieter in nature. Like Hulk vs Wolverine, it has been construed as no more than a superheroic punch-up – there is slightly more plot added in that we have a rationale involving Loki snatching up Bruce Banner and using magic to physically separate he and The Hulk in order to turn The Hulk, now pure rampaging aggression, against Asgard. The battles are not quite as epic as in Hulk Vs Wolverine but the episode is not too bad, One should also note that this was made before Thor made his first film appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Thor (2011) and so he is incarnated in terms of the original comic-book design with a winged helmet.
Marvel made two subsequent Incredible Hulk animated films with Planet Hulk (2010) and Hulk: Where Monsters Dwell (2016).

Civil society organisations which monitored the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship primary in Borno State have hailed the conduct.
Their position was contained in a statement by Omooba Kenneth Aigbegbele, President, Coalition of Civil Societies and Media Executives for Good Governance in Nigeria, on Monday.
"Borno State recorded the highest number of governorship aspirants in the APC and because of that we expected a chaos situation", it read.
"Voting, collation and sorting of votes were done transparently before agents of all aspirants; we saw all aspirants going round to meet delegates, we also saw that aspirants had agents, ballot papers were sealed on arrival and procedures were well read it and followed.
"All delegates had tents seated orderly and were invited in orderly manner; voting was done through secret balloting to guarantee freedom of choice and all aspirants were given time to address delegates and everyone from the podium.
"We saw ten aspirants announcing they were stepping down for the eventual winner and we saw five aspirants took part freely without any intimidation.
"We commend the conduct of Borno APC governorship primaries and recommend their standard to all political parties whether now or in future", Aigbegbele said.
The election was won by Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, a former commissioner of reconstruction, rehabilitation and Resettlement.


There are a ton of cameos in movies today, but here are some of my favorite cameos (aka the ones you all missed).
Matt Damon is actually in the movie "Thor: Ragnarok". He portrays "Loki" in the play that the REAL Loki has made them act out. Confusing, I know, but what an awesome cameo.
The star of "Jurassic Park" has come out of the woodwork to make a cameo appearance in... "Thor: Ragnarok". Oh yes, you missed not only one, but TWO cameo appearances in this action-packed movie. Can you guess who Neill played? I'll give you a hint: he's in the same scene as Matt Damon.
The brother of Chris Hemsworth makes a stunning appearance in, you guessed it, "Thor: Ragnarok". Can you believe it? You missed THREE cameo appearances, all within the same scene.
Starring in the new "Ocean's 8" movie, Kardashian was clearly missed by all viewers. Perhaps look at the Met Gala scene once more to find all the cameos you missed.
Honestly, what hasn't David Bowie done? Starring in the hit "Zoolander", it's obvious he's done everything.
Believe it or not, the King of Pop actually makes an appearance in "Men in Black 2". Talk about awesome.
Hiding herself in plain sight as a male pirate, Close makes an astounding appearance in Spielberg's "Hook".
In the film adaptation "21 Jump Street", Depp makes an appearance. You probably didn't catch this, what without his beard and pirate hat.
He's literally made an appearance in all the Marvel movies. All of them. What a man.


Smith certainly deserves a silent boo. He can't even spell Graham properly.
What is a balls to the wall approach? Do all the England players have to face the wall in the shower?
What the heck is Pietersen doing in that changing room?
I notice that Graeme Smith has claimed that the mysterious Balls to the Wall approach is only sustainable until the first time you bang your head.

Interview Feature
Private Eye Posts
Q&A with Doctor Phil
Q: For those who haven't you on stage before what can they expect?
A: Access to a GP. It's hard getting in to see a doctor these days, so I always bring my black bag, prescription pad and sick notes. I tend to get problems from the audience, rather than heckles, and my changing room is open for swabs during the interval. Most of the material has a medical theme but it's accessible to everyone. And if you're too shy to ask a question, you can always drop one into Dr Phil's secret sac.
Q: You have a reputation for being out-spoken and explicit. Is this show as rude as your last?
A: It depends what you mean by explicit. I rarely swear, but I'm a firm believer in demystifying medicine and destigmatising illness. And I've worked in a sexual health clinic. So the material ranges from vulvas to vaccine scares. I do give the audience the chance to choose between political and anatomical humour, but then – like any other doctor – I just to do what takes my fancy.
Q: What inspired you to create the show?
A: The sixtieth anniversary of the NHS and imminent election has made me reflect on what's happening to our health service (and what politicians have done to it) and I'm always trying to discover where all the money's gone. £105 billion a year and the NHS is still no safer than bungee jumping. There's also a lot of material about pleasure in the new show. Most of us spend our lives trying to balance pleasure and harm, and yet doctors very rarely mention the word, as if it's too hedonistic or frivolous. But everyone needs to know how to pleasure themselves sensibly. Do you?
Q: It's been a few years since you were last on tour. What have you been up to since?
A: I'm not just lazy. Most doctors who go into comedy give up the day job, but I've kept my hand in. Not just because I need the material, but also because I enjoy seeing patients. I hate all the bureaucratic crap and hoop jumping – most GPs spend half the consultation staring at the computer – but the beauty of not being a partner is that you can follow the patient rather than the money. I've just got a job working as a GP in a challenging area of south Bristol.
I do a regular show on BBC Radio Bristol, present the Music Group on Radio 4 and have just become a science presenter for The One Show, making films which all include an experiment. I also do a lot of writing (three books and a sitcom about a GP polyclinic called 'Polyoaks') and I've been Private Eye's medical correspondent for nearly 20 years. I still teach medical students and do a lot of serious lecturing as well as just taking the piss. And I like being a Dad, so it takes a lot to drag me away from home.
Q: You have a DVD coming out soon. What's that about?
A: The DVD was filmed at the Komedia in Bath, and is essentially two separate shows, one with satirical tips on staying healthy and surviving the NHS, the other more anecdotal confessions of my time as at medical school and as a junior doctor. There are lots of meaty revelations (falling asleep with a penis enlarger on, a visit to the clap clinic, assorted medical disasters, being summoned to a public inquiry) and it's going to be released as Dr Phil's Rude Health Show Act 1 and Act 2. The political stuff will come out before the election, the anatomical stuff in time for Christmas.
Q: Are you planning to write a new book? What other projects are in the pipeline?
I'd like to write a fourth book called simply 'How to be a Patient', because the bit missing from NHS reform has been the empowerment of patients. Labour talks about it endlessly but, in all the medical disasters I've exposed over the years in Private Eye, and on Trust Me I'm a Doctor, it was patients and relatives who spotted there was a problem long before the establishment saw fit to act. Just read the recent report of the Mid Staffordshire disaster. We need to encourage patients and front line staff to speak up, praising good care and spotting problems early so we can nip them in the bud. This sounds a bit of a rant, but I will stick some jokes in there.
I've also got a GP sitcom commissioned for Radio 4 (see above), and the fourth series of the Music Group, also on Radio 4, which is like a book group, but with one track each. I've learned how important music is for people's mental health, but also how individual our tastes our. Telling someone you don't like their favourite track is akin to telling them they've got an ugly baby. So as presenter I have to use my infamous GP communication skills.
On May 6 (probably election day), I'm giving evidence to the Bristol pathology inquiry, which was set up after concerns were sent to me at Private Eye about standards of pathology reporting in Bristol. It comes 18 years after I broke the story of the Bristol heart scandal in the Eye, which resulted in the largest public inquiry in British history. It saddens me that lessons from Bristol may not have been learnt, but I've realised over the years that change in the NHS happens incrementally, not overnight, and you have to keep consistently fighting for quality, safety and an open and accountable NHS, and we might get there before I need to use it.
Q: How often do you still practise as a GP?
A: I do a minimum of 6 hours a week seeing patients, and the same again keeping up to date. It doesn't sound a lot but I'm hoping that when my other careers take a nose-dive, I'll be able to do more. I've just got a job at a walk-in centre in an interesting part of south Bristol.
Q: You once stood for Parliament. Any chance of you going into politics in the future?
A: I hate adversarial party politics. There should be no left and right, just right and wrong. Get the best people in post and let them grow up and work together. Politics needs a more scientific approach where we pilot new ideas before implementing them across the board, and we're not frightened to admit something didn't work and try another tack. The over-promising and unrealistic expectations fostered by politicians makes them all ultimately fail. Big ideas are generally bollocks. Incremental change based on the best available evidence in a realistic time frame sound very dull, but it's more likely to get results.
So yes, I'm interested in politics and try to be constructive. I've just recorded a DVD training programme for the Home Office to help spot radicalisation and prevent violent extremism in communities and public services. And I've chaired the last four conferences for the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). So I enjoy the debate, but I can't see myself ever joining a party.
Q: You're very passionate about patient rights. What in your opinion is the biggest challenge for the NHS in this regard?
A: Patient empowerment is the crucial bit of the jigsaw missing from NHS reform, and being heard is even harder if your illness isn't sexy to the media. I'm a vice president of the Patients Association and a patron of the Herpes Viruses Association, and I try to raise the profile of those forgotten illnesses that don't get a look in on the front of the Daily Mail. I also contribute to an excellent website called embarrassingproblems.com, which encourages people to come forward with their embarrassing lumps and leaks, rather than just sit on them.
Q: How does it feel being the only doctor/comedian still practising medicine?
A: Sadly I'm not. Dr Hilary gave his finest comic performance ever on ITV's 'Dancing on Ice'.
Q: You're a regular on Countdown & a Scrabble enthusiast. What's your favourite word?
A: Blissom. A blissful state of sexual heat. Although I might have made that up.
Q: Lastly Dr. Phil, what do you to relax?
A: See above. And if that fails, I'm very adept at relaxing in a gentleman's way. Also, I'm proud to be acquainted with one wife, two kids, two dogs, two cats, two retired ponies, a rural community, the Ring O' Bells, Bristol City FC, Bath Rugby, the Mendips, Lads v Dads football, a large book collection and an old trumpet. I'm currently murdering Louis Armstrong classics with the help of a Hal Leonard jazz play-along CD.

Susan A Bliler >
(The third book in the Spoils of War series)
A novel by Susan A Bliler
Briar can't hide the wreckage on her face, but it doesn't matter. She's only at the Fortress to deliver her Alpha's message. That's it. All she's got to do is complete her task and get the hell out. But when Briar comes face to face with Matese "The Beast" Lawson, things change. She remembers him. He used to be part of her Yellowstone pack, but he left after a falling out with the Alpha. In her eyes, he's a traitor. You didn't walk away from pack; you just didn't. The fact that he now dares to try and take her prisoner, declaring her as the enemy is outright galling.
Matese Lawson left the Yellowstone to get away from his pack's callous Alpha and his brutal dictates. Hoping a change would heal his bloodthirsty wolf, Beast, Matese walked away from all he knew. In doing so, he thought he'd left Briar Nolay in his past, but when she shows up in his new pack's territory, it feels like old ghosts are haunting him. He doesn't trust her. He should kill her and be done with it, but Beast isn't having it.
Briar could feel eyes on her and knew it was him. He was watching her. He was always watching her.
Angling her head, she silently cursed the battered side of her face. Her cheek was so puffed up that her eye was swollen completely shut. Even after a day and a half, it still felt like her heart was beating in the wounded side of her face rather than in her chest. The damage prevented her from being able to spot Matese, but she didn't need to. She felt him there, just beyond the shadows. It was unnerving, mostly because it was the first time in months that her wolf roused from her depression and took notice of something. And wasn't that just typical. Briar had done everything she could think of to cheer up her wolf and get her excited about life again, but after weeks of nothing, she'd given up hope. Honestly, she couldn't blame her animal. Their life had gone from bad to worse in a rapid succession of horrifying events, and there were days when even Briar had difficulty mustering the will to drag herself out of bed to pretend she still cared. That little surplus of will she'd been hanging onto had slowly dwindled day by day, and now she and her wolf had a plan. They weren't going to have to live like they had been much longer because they weren't going to be alive at all.
Lifting a hand, Briar rubbed absently at where the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end. Matese! He had no right to be dredging up her old wants and torturing her wolf with his presence.
They'd been playing this game ever since she'd come to War God's pack territory and their castle-like compound called the Fortress. Matese didn't trust her. He thought she was there to bury a landmine and then scurry away before it detonated. He was wrong.
"Well, what are we going to do about her?"
She could hear the War Gods Beta, Tallius, talking to Reign. They were discussing her, and while she felt a slight hint of shame at eavesdropping, her need to know her fate overrode it.
Tallius's response was immediate. "Send her back!"
Relief and disappointment flooded Briar in equal measure. Part of her had hoped these War Gods would be the ones to pull her out of the fire, but she hadn't come expecting it.
Sighing in the hall, Briar couldn't help the wave of helplessness that crashed over her. She'd be going back to Cray and his hideous Yellowstone pack. It was what she'd expected. The WG owed her nothing, but deep down she'd hoped there would have been a way out for her.
"Eavesdropping, enemy mine?"
The deep baritone of Matese's voice slid over her and had goosebumps rising all along her skin.

Los Alamos Research Park
In 1943, Los Alamos Laboratory was founded with a single and urgent purpose: build an atomic bomb. This goal required extraordinary innovation driven by interdisciplinary scientific discovery and creative engineering. It was the beginning of a new way of approaching national security: not as a single response to a single problem, but as a collaborative effort across disciplines to anticipate threats and develop technologies to counter them. Today, this same spirit of innovation is the defining character of the Laboratory. Their mission is to provide solutions to the toughest national security challenges the nation faces. These challenges cannot be overcome without the innovative contributions of the lab's industry partners.
FBC will once again host the Annual Technology Expo. It's a great opportunity for companies to meet with lab employees to discuss the challenges they are facing and provide solutions to help them achieve their mission. Every effort will be made to invite the personnel from all of the offices/buildings on the LANL campus with a concentrated focus on the key decision makers from each group.
This is an excellent opportunity to communicate directly with many of the Laboratory's scientists, engineers and programming staff members that may otherwise be inaccessible at this secure facility.
Past events have seen 150-200 laboratory personnel attend.
About LANL: http://www.lanl.gov/index.php
Los Alamos National Laboratory is a premier national security research institution, delivering scientific and engineering solutions for the nation's most crucial and complex problems. Their primary responsibility is ensuring the safety, security and reliability of the nation's nuclear deterrent.
The mission at LANL emphasizes worker safety, effective operational safeguards & security, and environmental stewardship, while outstanding science remains the foundation of the Laboratory.

DOC Office of Privacy & Open G...
DOC Office of Privacy & Open Government Sunshine Week Event & Expo
The Department of Commerce's Office of Privacy and Open Government is hosting the virtual Annual Sunshine Week Event & Expo. This event features a full day of sessions and a virtual vendor hall.
Sunshine week occurs each year in mid-March, coinciding with James Madison's birthday and National Freedom of Information Day. This is a National initiative to promote a dialogue about the importance of open government and freedom of information. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides the public with a statutory right to request and receive information from their government and it is a key way in which government transparency is realized.
The Office of Privacy and Open Government (OPOG) is part of the Office of the Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Secretary for Administration (CFO/ASA) and reports to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Administration. The CFO/ASA's authority is delegated through Department Organization Order 20-31, Chief Privacy Officer (CPO) and Director of Open Government.
FOIA technology solutions for federal agencies in response to existing FOIA case processing challenges raised through the Technology Committee's research. Additionally, the event was intended to help federal agencies better understand the promise of artificial intelligence and advanced/emerging technology for case processing.
NIH Campus, Bethesda, MD-Building 10 FAES Terrace
The nation's medical research agency - the National Institutes of Health (NIH) - has a massive campus running cutting edge research and development, supported heavily by advanced technology and innovation. With this comes a unique audience of scientists and personnel with special applications.
Reach them face-to-face at NIH Tech Day! All personnel on the NIH campus receive FBC's wide-reaching promotions for this exciting event. Now's the time to show them that your product or service is what they've been missing.
NIH Mission and Goals:
NIH's mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and to apply that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life and reduce illness and disability.
To carry out this mission, NIH's goals are: to foster fundamental creative discoveries, innovative research strategies and their applications as a basis for ultimately protecting and improving health; to develop, maintain and renew scientific human and physical resources that will ensure the nation's capability to prevent disease; to expand the knowledge base in medical science and associated sciences in order to enhance the nation's economic well-being and ensure a continued high return on the public investment in research; and to exemplify and promote the highest level of scientific integrity, public accountability and social responsibility in the conduct of science.
NIH is an operating division of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), responsible for helping the Department realize its strategic goal of advancing scientific knowledge and innovation.
To accomplish this, NIH consists of 27 Institutes and Centers (ICs), along with Program Offices, which collectively are referred to as ICOs. These ICOs have individual strategic plans and specific research agendas, which are aligned with the legislative mandates that are often related to specific diseases or body systems. To support these missions, most of NIH's ICOs receive a specific appropriation from Congress, and support research and research training through extramural funding awarded to universities, academic health centers and other research institutions. Most also conduct research and research training in their own intramural laboratories, the majority of which are located on the NIH's main campus in Bethesda, MD.
From the NIH Strategic Plan:
NIH will support a broad, balanced portfolio of basic research across a wide range of scientific disciplines, a portfolio that will be complemented by vigorous support of innovations in technology and data science. By maintaining and strengthening its already impressive foundation of fundamental science, biomedical research will be poised to identify and capitalize upon potential opportunities for revolutionary breakthroughs with the potential for preventing, treating and curing disease.
Technological innovations will also be instrumental for research aimed at making advances in the early detection, diagnosis and prevention of disease. At the forefront of this effort will be the NIH-led PMI cohort. Taking advantage of emerging biomedical tools and technologies, such as availability of electronic health records, DNA sequencing and exposure monitoring, PMI's longitudinal research cohort of 1 million or more U.S. volunteers will establish a base of scientific knowledge that can be used to develop prevention and screening strategies tailored to individuals at the most opportune times across the course of their lives.
PMI will also take advantage of the latest methods and approaches in data science, including advances in large-scale databases, computational tools and -omics methodologies to characterize individuals. In addition, PMI will offer researchers the ability to test whether mobile technologies are useful in adapting preventive strategies to individuals' needs and preferences, enhancing delivery of interventions and improving monitoring of compliance and outcomes. PMI will pioneer efforts to merge, integrate and analyze data from a wide variety of sources with implications for prevention, including basic biological data, health status NIH-Wide Strategic Plan 26 information from electronic health records, individual data on environmental exposures, geospatial data on community environmental exposures and so on.'

Creating a culture of cybersecurity is critical for all organizations, including CMS. The internet is used to support many of our day-to-day activities and for many purposes. As technology improves, there is evidence that cyber-attacks are occurring more frequently and if they are successful, their impacts can be damaging. Knowing how to identify and prevent common cyber-attacks helps promotes a more secure internet environment for everyone.
Our goal during National Cyber Security Awareness Month is to engage and educate CMS staff on protecting information technology systems and data from cyber-attacks and to promote clear and consistent communications about cybersecurity and privacy protections.
About CMS:
The Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) works in partnership with the entire health care community to improve quality and efficiency in an evolving health care system and provides leadership in the broader health care marketplace. CMS covers 100 million people ...through Medicare, Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program, and the Health Insurance Marketplace. To achieve a high quality health care system, they aim for better care at lower costs and improved health.
The Annual CMS Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) 2023 Cybersecurity Training & Awareness Forum is hosted by the Information Security Privacy Group (ISPG) at CMS.
The Vision for ISPG is to provide leadership to CMS in managing information security and privacy risks appropriate for evolving cyber threats. The Mission is to enable the safe use of sensitive and privacy data while servicing the healthcare needs of the nation.

Watch The Half Hour Hegel: A Long, Guided Tour Through Hegel's Phenomenology, Passage by Passage
in Philosophy | August 27th, 2015 1 Comment
Big books can be daunting. Big, complicated books can seem insurmountable, especially if you're trying to read them on your own. How many of you have tried to read Joyce's Ulysses' and bailed out within 30 pages? Raise your hands. Well, perhaps you'll be pleased to learn about Frank Delaney's Re:Joyce podcast, which, since 2012, has been taking listeners on a slow walk through Joyce's masterpiece, sometimes sentence by sentence. Episode 273 has just been posted, which features Delaney unpacking a scene in "Hades," or what amounts to Chapter 6. By my count, Frank has only covered about 15% of the book. So it's hardly too late to jump in.
If you're looking to work your way through another bear of a book, give Hegel's Phenomenology of the Spirit a try. Written in 1807, the Phenomenology had a profound effect on the development of German and Western philosophy, and it's a notoriously difficult read. That's where the Youtube series "Half Hour Hegel" comes in handy. Created by Gregory Sadler, a philosopher by training, the series features "25-35 minute YouTube videos leading students through the entire text of G.W.F. Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, paragraph by paragraph, engaging in a close reading of the text without skipping any of the material."
You can find 67 videos so far (watch the playlist above), covering 5 main portions of the text: the Preface (lectures 1-31), the Introduction (lectures 32-38), Sense-Certainty (lectures 39-44), Perception (lectures 45-51), and Force and the Understanding (lectures 52-65)." By the end of the project, there will be roughly 300 videos in the series. You can keep tabs on the video playlist here. And you can support Sadler's work over on his Patreon page.
Other courses on Hegel can be found on our list of Free Online Philosophy Courses, a subset of our meta collection, 1,700 Free Online Courses from Top Universities.

An Animated Intro to G.W.F. Hegel, and Everything Else You Wanted to Know About the Daunting German Philosopher
How Martin Luther King, Jr. Used Hegel, Kant & Nietzsche to Overturn Segregation in America

Might be time for an update about this project. I'm in the 200s as far as number of videos, 600s as far as paragraphs go


Sorry, Patricia, but literary representation doesn't work like that. Agents won't come to the author, except for (perhaps) a mega-bestselling author. If you'd like an agent, I'd recommend taking your favorite novel and pitching it to a few agents you find through Agent Query. (As for the novella, I'm not familiar with the market for that. I've heard that novellas and short stories are hard to sell).
When you do submit your novel, I recommend telling more about the plot and what makes it interesting. The only thing you've said about yours is that you think it is great, which doesn't matter to editors and agents. (If you're submitting it, you better think it's great). It's far more effective to be specific about what happens in your story. Please see our "Writing a Query" category for more details.
"I do not have a website nor an illustrator/artist as I understand the publisher makes this decision." In picture book publishing, publishers generally expect authors to submit without an artist so that the publisher can pick one they like. With comic books and graphic novels, not so much. Comic book publishers generally expect the author to pick up an artist before submitting the proposal. Dark Horse is the only exception that comes to mind.
Also, 60,000 words would be a bit on the short side for an adult novel. 70,000-80,000 is probably safer.


The Air Max re-ups just keep on coming, as next year, Nike is slated to release the Dynamic Flywire take on the Air Max 95. The kicks feature a mesh overlay with the Flywire lacing system showcased underneath and of course still highlighting a full-length Max Air unit to tred on. This particular pair sports an enticing Deep Royal Blue and Solar Red color tandem, as you'll have to check back with us to find out more on a release for the Air Max 95 Dynamic Flywire.


Hi, my name is Charlie, I'm 17 and live in the UK.
Currently, I have had some trouble finding well written young adult books to read. I finished a fabulous book series called The Final Empire, aka the Mistborn series. If you havn't read that already and want to give fantasy dystopian novels a go, I would really recommend it. Anyway I loved that book series, but then went on to read (or at least try to) the Red Queen series. I read the first 3 books slowly and have been 'reading' the final book for about 3 months now.
Last week I decided to scrap this and bought a book called VOX by Christina Dalcher. I am told it is similar to the Handmaid's tale so I am excited to start this book.
However I would like to have my eyes set on another book to pick up straight after, in hopes that I get back into reading more frequently. Could anyone help me with this? I am fairly well read so the difficulty of the language shouldn't be much of a problem. I have enjoyed reading dystopian young adult novels, and would like to keep doing so if possible. However, I am starting to see the same tropes come up over and over again so if you feel that you have books in other genres that I could read I would love to hear this as well. Saying this I havn't stuck only to distopian YA in the past, but it takes up the majority of my bookshelf.
These are just the ones I can think of at the moment, but hopefully that gives you an idea of the sort of books I have read in the past.
'lo! Welcome to the forum!
If you like dystopian books, have you read Nineteen Eighty-Four? (George Orwell). It's about as dystopian as you can get and it is packed with some amazing ideas (both interesting and disturbing in equal measure).
Hello, thank you for your welcome.
To answer your question, I tried to read it a few years ago, but never got passed the second or third chapter - maybe this is a book to pick up again.


Don't pay attention to days on market-this parcel has been under contract with feasibility studies forever. Complicated, as it needs subdivided off of a bigger parcel and is then subject to reforestation and agricultural taxes which takes about half the property if you develop 4-5 sites. Appears much easier to do a farmette with a one or two private residences. Had perced successfully before.


This is a free country where you should, regardless of race, age or gender, be able to frequent any establishment of your choosing.
Your family will be turned away at McDains restaurant, just outside of Pittsburgh, if you have kids under 6 years old.
Owner, Mike Vuick, has had enough of the loud, ill behaved children and has decided to ban them all from his restaurant.
Being the mother of 4, you would think that I would instantly take offense to this. But I do not, and will tell you why.
I have, on several occasions, dined at restaurants where I was seated next to or in close proximity to families with children who were unruly. On more than a few occasions, the parents were unable to quiet their children but did not do the courteous thing and leave the restaurant, but decided instead to ruin the evenings of the rest of the patrons and stay.
Now, I am not talking about a kid talking or laughing of just being a kid. I am talking about blood-curdling screams, table cloth pulling, silverware throwing tantrums that were impossible to overlook.
As a parent, I find this rude as well as selfish. I also see it as a growing trend, parents who are unable to control their bratty kids, and I think I know where the problem lies. Extreme lack of discipline. If these kids were worried about losing a privilege or had been taught early on that this type of behavior would not be tolerated, they may not behave that way in public.
For younger children, say under 2 years of age, it is all about distraction. Any baby, who is just little fussy, will quiet down when distracted by something interesting and new. When my kids were that age, I always kept things meant for this purpose close by when we dined out.
Most importantly, these parents need to learn the art of the stare down. All it takes with my own kids, to make hands instantly go to laps and kids' mouths to quiet down, is eye contact. This is not something you can just start anew though. This stare down of mine has taken years to perfect and is only powerful because of consistent behavior expectations imposed upon the kids from an early age.
I think there should be a class, sort of an instructional, on the art of the stare down. I think this is something many parents are lacking and should be taught alongside Lamaze and diapering skills.
Sure, there were times when nap times were compromised, the stare had no effect, and they got cranky. That is when you ask the wait staff to wrap your food to go, leave a nice tip and proceed to the nearest exit with your kids in tow.
Maybe a happy medium would be to establish a separate area for families, kind of like the smoking sections of years past. That, or people could use a little common sense and leave restaurants when their kids are behaving in a way that is overly disturbing.
So, do I think that Mr. Vuick was justified in banning ALL kids from his restaurant because of the behavior of some?
I cannot blame him though, since I can totally see his point and I am hoping that, if anything, it makes at least a few people more aware their public demeanor.
That and their need to learn the stare down...the stare down is key.
What do you do when you're kids look away in the middle of a stare down?!
They will eventually have to look back, and it won't be any nicer of a stare awaiting them.
My parents swore by "the look" raising the six of us...my mother also threatened us "within an inch of our lives" before entering an establishment. Anyone who misbehaved was promptly shown to the car where he/she remained until the rest of us finished dessert. The punishment was clear--no dinner for that particular evening--and the next time the family left home to dine, the culprit would remain behind with a sitter. It only took one instance for the point to be made.
Thanks, Jen! Love, love, love your blog as well!
I am a mother of four, living in the suburbs of Chicago. Besides parenting, I have a passion for writing and have been accused of being "brutally honest". In most cases, I speak my mind.
Thanks for the update Tom! I am going to give it another try next year, fingers crossed!

Musings about life after growing our family
to include a little boy with a big voice (and his daring sister).
« Cup stacking | Main | On stage: London's first big performance »
Focused for hours
London spends hours building a plane out of a box
London always amazes me. About two weeks ago, I went into a basement organizing frenzy, clearing out garbage, storing items we'll never use in the crawl space, building five sets of shelves and organizing everything. The kids now have a nice play space that they can leave a mess if they'd like, but more importantly it's a space where they can be as creative as they want. We've stocked loads of paint, brushes, crayons, glitter, paper, legos, toys and on and on.
I think that all kids love boxes. And we parents love them too. We've made all kinds of things from boxes: houses, boats, restaurants, cars .... London called all of the boxes from the shelving units. He wanted to create something with them on his own. Since I was focused/hell bent on finishing my basement organizing project that I'd been planning for over a year, I was very happy to let him build. (Note Violet was helping me build an entertainment center -- also for the basement -- which was a big project in itself.)
London was so quiet and focused that I completely forgot about him. At one point, I saw him working with a very large pair of sissors and I cringed. Could one really cut off a finger? I could see loosing an eye for sure. But before I stepped in to stop him from impaling himself, I saw how incredibly focused he was on his project. In fact, he hadn't made a sound in over an hour. He had cut out the body of the plane and one wing perfectly. I just couldn't take him away from that. So I sat nervously while he finished cutting and let out a big sigh of relief when he was safely done.
He was so proud when he gave me a tour of his creation. He'd made wings from the styrofoam in the entertainment center packaging. The wings were so long that at one point he had to walk away from his project because he was terribly upset about them touching the floor. After a little break, he decided to add a small piece of styrofoam to support his wings. It was a great lesson learned in patience.
Now the plane sits undisturbed next to his train -- which he actually plays with every once in a while. He loves to create and what I love most about his creations is that he can build based upon only his imagination. He doesn't need a guide or directions or even a parent to help him. I don't think I know many adults who have that kind of imagination. I love watching him grow into a big boy. (Yeah, I totally started crying when I wrote "big boy." Who wouldn't?)

Q: [ngx-spinner]: Property "type" is missed. My spinner is not loading the type as it should Here is where I implement the spinner properties.And in the console from Chrome I receive this error:[ngx-spinner]: Property "type" is missed. Please, provide animation type to  component and ensure css is added to angular.json file
export class BusyService {
busyRequestCount = 0;

constructor(private spinnerService: NgxSpinnerService) { }

busy(){
this.busyRequestCount++;
this.spinnerService.show(undefined, {
  type: 'pacman',
  bdColor: 'rgba(255,255,255,0)',
  color: '#333333'
})
}

 idle(){
this.busyRequestCount--;
if(this.busyRequestCount <= 0){
  this.busyRequestCount = 0;
  this.spinnerService.hide();
}
}

And here is the angular.json
"styles": [
          "./node_modules/ngx-bootstrap/datepicker/bs-datepicker.css",
          "./node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css",

          "./node_modules/ngx-spinner/spinner.css",
          "src/styles.css"
        ],

A: I faced the same issue, after my upgrading my repository to Angular 14 version and I have fixed this as following changes.
Need to add type="ball-scale-multiple" as below.
<ngx-spinner type="ball-scale-multiple"></ngx-spinner>

Before it was just
<ngx-spinner></ngx-spinner>

and the above type what you included, you need to add to angular.json file
styles: ["./node_modules/ngx-spinner/animations/ball-scale-multiple.css"
]
This fix solved for me.

A: You just need to add the "type" attribute into the ngx-spinner component in your template, like so:
<ngx-spinner type="pacman">

Loading...

</ngx-spinner>

A: In angular.json file you've to add like this(below in code) & please look at node_modules>ngx-spinner>animations in which loading type you want to add as your indicator
"styles": [
          "./node_modules/ngx-spinner/animations/line-scale-party.css"
        ],

The Papers of James Madison include letters to and from James Madison, as well as other related personal and professional documents, divided into four series covering distinct periods of Madison's life: the Congressional, Secretary of State, Presidential, and Retirement Series, as detailed below.
The Papers are published in both letterpress (book) and digital editions. The letterpress editions are available in many university, college, and public libraries. The digital editions, which follow print publication by about eighteen months, are available by subscription to the American Founding Era Collection of ROTUNDA, the digital-publishing wing of the University of Virginia Press.
Letterpress volumes from all active series--Secretary of State, Presidential, and Retirement--can be purchased through the University of Virginia Press which has published the Papers since 1977. A limited number of volumes of the completed Congressional series are still available for purchase from the University of Chicago Press (volumes 6 and 7) and the University of Virginia Press (volumes 11 and 12). Other Congressional series volumes are out of print but can occasionally be found in used book stores or online.
In addition to print and digital editions, preliminary transcriptions of over 9,000 as-yet-unpublished Madison documents are available for free through the ROTUNDA Founders Early Access project. These documents were prepared and reviewed by the staff of Documents Compass, a program of the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, but have not yet been reviewed or annotated by Papers of James Madison staff.
The National Archives Founders Online website is another source where you can freely access the published Papers of James Madison (18-24 months after publication) and the Early Access documents. Both the ROTUNDA and Founders Online digital resources allow readers to not only access the Papers of James Madison, but to review and cross reference them with the papers of other members of the founding era, including Dolley Madison, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and many more. These digital resources provide a valuable resource to scholars worldwide.
The first series contains seventeen volumes, published 1962-91, and presents the fullest possible record of Madison's earliest correspondence. The Congressional Series documents Madison's contributions to the creation of the U.S. federal government: his service in the Continental Congress, the Virginia General Assembly, the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the Virginia Ratifying Convention of 1788, and the first four Federal Congresses.
This second series contains ten volumes to date, of a projected sixteen (1986--); the eleventh volume is currently at press. The Secretary of State Series documents Madison's diplomatic and political career during the two presidential administrations of Thomas Jefferson, in which Madison oversaw the negotiations for the Louisiana Purchase and the integration of those territories into the United States, and attempted to maintain a viable neutrality for the United States vis-à-vis warring France and Great Britain. As secretary of state, Madison presided over one of the busiest offices in Washington. He was responsible for the Patent Office, issued all federal commissions, ensured the public laws were put into print, and served as official liaison between the president and the governors of states and territories. Most important for these volumes, Madison was the addressee of diplomatic pouches and letters from five ministers and over fifty consuls worldwide, as well as about a dozen commissioners.
This series includes eight volumes published to date, of a projected eleven (1984--). The Presidential Series centers largely on Madison's record as commander-in-chief during the War of 1812, the first full-scale conflict to be waged under the U.S. Constitution of 1787. Madison's correspondence as president deals with a particularly wide range of concerns to which he responded: national politics, international diplomacy and war, Indian affairs, the development of the nation's capital, and petitions for charity and mercy from ordinary citizens.
The final series includes three volumes to date, of a projected seven (2009--). The Retirement Series contains correspondence and other papers that provide a rich and informative commentary on the past history and future prospects of the nation Madison helped create and preserve throughout his lifetime.
