"Good people can get caught in bad situations. That's why we're here." - Attorney Ruth Lenahan
Criminal Defense Attorneys Based in the Scranton Area
Assault is one of the most common charges in Pennsylvania. It often arises out of a disagreement or heated exchange. Assault charges range in severity, and sometimes an assault conviction can result in a lengthy prison term. Even facing a seemingly minor assault charge can be a harrowing experience, and it can have negative repercussions throughout all aspects of your life. If you are faced with assault charges, it is in your best interest to consult a knowledgeable attorney regarding your charges and potential defenses. At Lenahan & Dempsey, P.C., our Scranton assault defense lawyers are adept at navigating the Pennsylvania criminal justice system, and we will work diligently to help you seek a favorable outcome.
Pennsylvania Assault Charges
In Pennsylvania, assault is not a singular offense. To the contrary, there are numerous assault crimes with which the Commonwealth may charge a person, including simple assault and aggravated assault. Notably, a person does not need to actually cause bodily harm to be charged with assault. Instead, in many cases, the mere threat of bodily harm is a sufficient basis to charge a person with an assault crime.
Simple assault is typically charged as a misdemeanor. A person may be found guilty of simple assault if the person knowingly, recklessly, or intentionally caused bodily harm to another individual, or attempted to cause such harm. A person may also be convicted of simple assault for using physical threats to attempt to put another person in fear of imminent, serious bodily harm, or negligently causing bodily harm to someone else through the use of a deadly weapon.
Generally, the Commonwealth reserves aggravated assault charges for behavior that is more egregious than acts that constitute simple assault. Aggravated assault is a felony in Pennsylvania, so you should consult an assault defense attorney at our Scranton firm immediately if you are facing this type of charge. Several acts constitute aggravated assault, including recklessly, knowingly, or negligently causing, or attempting to cause, serious bodily harm to another person in a manner that demonstrated an extreme indifference to the value of a person's life. Knowingly or intentionally harming or attempting to harm another person physically with a deadly weapon is also considered aggravated assault. Acts that cause bodily harm to public transportation employees or certain government employees may be considered aggravated assault as well.
Defenses to Assault Charges
In many assault cases, there are defenses that the defendant may be able to set forth to avoid a conviction, but the precise defenses available depend on the facts of the case. A defense commonly asserted in assault cases, though, is self-defense. Essentially, a person charged with assault who asserts that he or she acted in self-defense admits that he or she committed the acts out of which the charges arose, but argues that such acts were justified under the circumstances. Since self-defense can be complex, you should retain a skillful Scranton assault defense attorney to make this argument on your behalf.
In Pennsylvania, it is lawful to use force toward another person if you reasonably believe that there is an immediate need to use such force to protect you from being harmed by the person's unlawful use of force. The amount of force used must be reasonable, however, and the use of deadly force is only permitted in limited circumstances. If we set forth sufficient evidence that you were acting in self-defense, the prosecution must then prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you were not acting in self-defense. In many cases, the prosecution will attempt to refute that a person was acting in self-defense by arguing that the person provoked the use of force. Under Pennsylvania law, if you provoke the use of force against you, you cannot claim self-defense.

I know not everyone is a fan of fruitcake but in this house we love it! I think it depends on what you have grown up with. I vividly remember my mum making a Christmas cake every year - the ritual of lining the tin with layers of brown paper, the special big bowl that was only ever used at Christmas time and licking the sweet and spicy leftovers from the spatula.
If you've spent any time here you will know that we eat low sugar these and this cake definitely does NOT fall into that category. But this is one of our special Christmas traditions and I hope my boys have similar fond memories to me.
I have been making my Christmas cake from the same recipe for at least the past 8 years and it is tried and true. I make one for my Dad every year and have been asked to make one for friends of his as well which is a good indication just how good this cake is!
It is a traditional boiled fruitcake laced with brandy and beautiful fragrant spices. I usually try to put the fruit on to steep with brandy in November but I was a few weeks late this year. The fruit soaked for only 3 days and will have only 3 weeks to mature before Christmas. Like most fruitcakes it gets better with age so the earlier you can make it the better, although it would still be absolutely fantastic straight from the oven.
If you've never made your own Christmas cake before I encourage you to give this one a go.
Combine the dried fruit and brandy in a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave to soak overnight or for a week or more.
Line the base and sides of a deep 23cm round or 19cm square baking tin with 2 layers of brown paper and 2 layers of baking paper, bringing the paper 5cm above the edge of the tin.
In a large saucepan, place the soaked fruit, butter, water, sugars and bicarb soda and bring to the boil over medium heat. Once boiling, give it a good stir, remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
Preheat the oven to 140 degrees Celsius / 120 degrees fan-forced.
Stir the eggs into the fruit mixture the fold through the sifted flours and spices. Pour into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Decorate the top with the pecans and macadamias. Bake for 3 hours.
Brush the hot cake with extra brandy. Cover the cake with a layer of baking paper then a layer of foil. Wrap the whole tin in a towel and leave to cool completely (overnight is good).
Once cool, remove all the wrappings, brush the cake with extra brandy and re-wrap with fresh baking paper and foil and leave in a cool, dark place for at least a few weeks if you can before serving.
Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas to me without a good fruit cake. Yes, the making of the cake was a tradition in our house too when I was growing up, and I used to love getting a chance to give it a stir and especially to lick the bowl. This is a beautiful looking cake, and I'm quite impressed that you make the same one every year, making your own tradition - I tend to try a different recipe every year!

Kicker: Scohol
April 25, 2019 Nick Eicher	Kicker
NICK EICHER, HOST: People driving in suburban Miami recently noticed a big typo on the street. Except it wasn't a typo. It was painted. A paint-o?
AUDIO: It's not spelled right. You don't spell school that way.
No, you don't. It was for a school crossing. But it said SCOHOL.
AUDIO: It's not a good thing when you misspell school. It's not a good look at all.
Mmm-mm. WPLG television eyewitness news in Miami spotted the paint-o in suburban Doral, and city officials jumped right on it. They sent a crew to scrape the surface and repaint.
Reporter Saira Anwer was on the scene and she confirmed the copyedit.
AUDIO: How you gonna spell it? S-C-H-O-O-L

I think I have been told something about this event that may happen by a spirit as well. But at the time I was going though it as a family member was trying to end my life and I had some trauma affecting my memory at the time and as well and I had one other thing being done to me that I don't want to talk about atm. So I am have difficulty recalling what was said with this one , So excuse me as I may get this one wrong but I thought in case this may be right I should put it out there for people to see. I feel for all the people that may be affected within this disaster and my hart go's out to all of you and the same go's for other Tragedies that I post about online as well. The reson for me posting infomation on things that may happen good and bad is with doing this there may be a possibility of proving the paranormal and if I can do that then in my opinion that also may help to prove a afterlife. And with doing that it may help some people wake up from being so focused on materialistic self gain ware some people in this life will go out to hurt and wreck other peoples life's and sometimes often for just a little bit of money making them people fail there personal life test. If people knew that this is just a temporary soul stop and there was more to this than just this one life then maybe some people may become better people, so that's my motive for posting stuff like this whether its good or bad.
Anyway going back to my vision, I think I have been seeing this event not as it may happen but within clue's instead I often get hazy visions like this.
With me seeing a plane going into the world trade center, but only seeing one plane going in to one of the twin towers and seeing a image of the petronas twin towers straight after which are also known as the twin towers. With me seeing this I think this is showing me a clue and I think the meaning of this vision is that a plane will crash into one of the petronas towers with it collapsing but because I only see a image of one plain going into the only one of the world trade center towers I think the clue is that it will only be one these towers that will be mainly affected and collapse.
And then that brings me on to what I think was said by a spirit that I spoke to I think he mentioned that there was two buildings called the twin towers with a walkway between them and a plane will go into one of them making one collapse so I feel with this being said which I must say is a hazy memory and these images I been seeing in my meditations which I think may be a mild visions there may be a possibility that this prediction may happen.
Michael, have you seen the post by Eric Leigh-Pink on worldwidepredictions on 08/10/14? The part that begins with "I had a visual that I opened a door to a man working at a desk in a tall skyscraper…" I seems to me you could be seeing the same event.
I had a somewhat similar vision, years ago. It was definitely the Petronas Towers (I didn't even know they existed before checking it later) and I was one of the people in the tower as it was already crumbling on the upper floors, though I didn't see the event that triggered it. We tried escaping through the glass bridge connecting the two towers when the one we came from collapsed on these floors and the glass bridge started to collapse as well, right under our feet when we weren't even halfway through. I fell to my death with many others before I woke from it.
If a plane hit them, they will definetly not collapse. They are nowhere weak as the WTC twins. Petronas structual engineer was genius Charles H. Thornton.

Dogecoin Millionaire Glauber Contessoto Says He Continues to Hold All His Crypto Assets
Glauber Contessoto, who had refused to sell his holdings despite losing the millionaire status briefly during the market crash in May this year, says that he continues to hold every single coin he has bought and does not intend to sell them anytime soon. But why is he holding and what are his plans? Known to the world as the "Doge millionaire", Contessoto said he sees the Dogecoin price doubling in the next two months to "around 50 cents". He had claimed in April that he became a Dogecoin millionaire in "just 69 days".
Contessoto, a resident of Los Angeles, told Benzinga, a financial market media organisation, that Dogecoin's greatest asset is its branding and the cryptocurrency does exactly what it was created for – buy and sell things. The low value of Dogecoin makes it less likely a choice to store value or hoard. People readily accept it as a medium of exchange and spend it on buying goods and services, while top crypto coins like Bitcoin and Ether are primarily seen as a store of value.
While Contessoto, 33, said he does not understand technical analysis, he focuses on "market sentiment and pop culture shifts". He said his Dogecoin investment is largely influenced by the idea that the economy is now more dependent on social media trends and influencer marketing.
When the market crashed in May, Contessoto had urged the Dogecoin community to unite and not liquidate their investments. He had said he invested his life savings — about $1,80,000 (roughly Rs. 1.32 crores) — in Dogecoin when its price was about $0.045 (roughly Rs. 3.66) in February. By the end of April, his initial investment had grown to almost $2 million (roughly Rs. 14.65 crores).
In July, Contessoto said he bought more Dogecoins worth $5,300 (roughly Rs 3.94 lakhs).
According to the Benzinga report, Contessoto feels Dogecoin will "be every newcomers' bridge" into cryptocurrency in the years to come. He also said that he held 4,206,969 DOGE — worth more than $987,000 (Rs. 7.39 crores approx.) at the time of writing this report.
Launched as a meme based on the Shiba Inu dog, Dogecoin had reached an all-time high on May 8 at $0.72 (roughly Rs. 52.74). Dogecoin price in India at the time of writing this report was around

the one time i didnt get lynched?
But on the whole, survival in these games seems to be a pretty rare event for you.
For me the most important rule to Mafia whether your looking for Mafia or trying to stay hidden....is to have fun. Play which ever way makes the game most interesting for you. If you die day one or are lynched while being unable to convince people that your town at least make sure that you get as much out of the game as possible. Mafia games themselves allow for great interaction between members who other wise stick to posting in one or two forums. The interaction between people that it creates is intense and even though some times players feelings can be hurt, we all end up learning more about one another in some weird way. I know for a fact that through the Mafia games I have met some people who I would have otherwise never really had a chance to meet even though we all come to the same board.
So in the end have fun, whether that means acting like a douche or a turd sandwich be yourself and enjoy the game for what it is....an exciting interaction between individuals who will more often than not surprise you with either their wit or deceitfulness and some times both.
Location: Here, what an odd question.

Black Pink hit you with that 'DDU-DU DDU-DU' in MV & 'Square Up' album preview!
Black Pink have returned with their music video for "DDU-DU DDU-DU"!
"DDU-DU DDU-DU" is the title track of Black Pink's first mini album 'Square Up' produced by Teddy, and it has plenty of the attitude the YG Entertainment�girl group's releases are known for. The MV follows a pink color concept with the Black Pink members taking risks and ends with a bang of patterns.

The turn-based puzzle game hasn't been announced for PC, though.
There's a new entry into the Deus Ex franchise, though it's one unfortunately not coming to PC (at least not initially). Square Enix Montreal is developing Deus Ex: Go, a turn-based puzzle game in the same vein as Hitman: Go and Lara Croft: Go, for mobile phones and tablets. You can see a little of it above in the announcement trailer.
We're hopeful we'll be able to play Deus Ex: Go on PC at some point in the future, but no plans to bring it to desktops have been announced. Hitman: Go and Lara Croft: Go both made it to Windows, though, and I have it on good authority (a guy I know) that they are enjoyable games.
An earlier version of this story stated that Lara Croft: Go had not been released on PC. It has, and the article has been updated to reflect that.

Cootes, Diamond Named Splash Café Swimmers of the Month
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Following a series of personal bests, top-five finishes and program records, Cal Poly sophomores Bonnie Diamond and Zach Cootes were named Splash Café/Cal Poly Swimmers of the Month for November.
During the third and final day of the A3 Performance Invitational on Nov. 22, Cootes broke the school record in the championship final of the men's 200-yard butterfly with a mark of 1:48.01, which was a full 27 tenths-of-a-second faster than Justin deDianous in 2015.
Cootes narrowly missed the "B Standard" NCAA qualifications in the event by a mere two-tenths-of-a-second. The sophomore won the consolation final for the 200-yard individual medley, in 1:48.86 (third-fastest all-time at Cal Poly and an MPSF-best mark at the time).
Diamond placed third in the women's 1,650-yard freestyle championship with a mark of 16:50.62 on the final day of the A3 Invitational. Diamond's time is the fastest 1,650 free since 2011 and is the No. 2 mark in program history.
During the second day of the A3 Invite, Diamond grabbed a second-place showing in the 200-yard freestyle with a mark of 1:49.29. Her finish is the second-best 200 free mark in program history and best since 2009 (Gloria Benefield, 1:48.89).
Diamond also collected a runner-up finish in the 500-yard freestyle on the opening day of the Invite on Nov. 21 with a mark of 4:52.97 (which was the No. 1 event mark in the MPSF at the time and moved her up from No. 4 to 3 in school history).
During the Cal Poly women's side's 181-111 win over Pepperdine on Nov. 7, Diamond secured a pair of first-place finishes in both the 200 free (at 1:54.74) and 200-yard individual medley (2:08.56).
The Cal Poly women's side hosts San Diego State in a dual meet scheduled for 10 a.m. PT Friday, Dec. 18, at Anderson Aquatics Center.

I thought this would be a tough week for me, but for this moment, I'm handling things ok.
Sunday, May 11: Mother's day. This was the day in 2005 when Mom had to be resuscitated twice and then signed the DNR, all falling at the end of a week where we learned that cancer was everywhere inside of her.
Monday, May 12: Mom's birthday. In 2005, on her 79th birthday, all she wanted to do was make it to 80. In 2007, when she turned 81, she whispered her final words.
Saturday, May 17: Five days later in 2007, she died.
I have been dreading all of this, but now that I am here, I am calm, albeit a little reserved. But calm nonetheless.
Why? Perhaps it's that I'm not close enough to my brothers to mourn her passing, where there's strong emotion flowing freely between us. Or maybe because my sister, whom I am close with, lives in Florida, and we're not close geographically. Or maybe it's this. When Dad died, Mom mourned for many months, and it was so tough helping her through that. But there is no surviving spouse. She lived a wonderful life. I was with her just hours before she died. I had my chances–and I used them–to say goodbye. There's no anger or frustration or guilt or any of that.
There is sadness. I miss her terribly every day.
But on this day, I have no worries about turning my attention to my wife and the celebrations with our own children. I do not see my sadness interfering at all with her wonderful day.
There was much of that last year. On my wife's birthday on May 20, we spent the night at my mother's viewing.
This, more than any other year, is my wife's day for celebration with her children.
And maybe it's this way because I know that's the way Mom would want it anyway.
To all of you: my thoughts, my wishes, my love are with you on this day of celebration and remembrance for the sacrifices mothers have made–and continue to make–for their children.
← The Wellness of the Writer: Is It Genre-Based?
Yes, it will always be a time of year with many mixed feelings. It is so in November for me. You see, it would be my own child's birthday had she not been killed in the accident, yet, in life now I have a grand-nephew whose birthday it is at hat same time. Although I will never forget my daughter, nor will the sadness ever really go away, I chose to live in the land of life and celebrate the wonders of people I love around me. Have faith. It will come.
I wonder if sons miss their moms more than daughters. Or if it's just me.
Mother's Day is a time to remember moms, and you think of yours everyday. How wonderful that you had so much time with her, especially for the last several years during her fight with cancer. How wonderful that you have no regrets about your relationship. How wonderful that she lived to be 81 with family surrounding her. Maybe you can look at tomorrow as a celebration of all the wonderful things you learned about strength, love and life from your mother.


WARNING: Reading this blog may make you want to (1) immediately book a trip to Islay with Scottish Routes (2) crack open a bottle of Scotch (3) both of the above!
Whatever you call it, every variety of this Scottish aqua vitae all derives from three main ingredients, malted barley, yeast and water. So simple yet so complicated as any whisky lover will tell you.
There are many subtle factors that contribute to the unique character of each bottling and regional differences in Scotch Whisky are obvious even to the untrained palate with the peaty notes of Islay drams among the most revered. This little west coast island is home to 8 distilleries, famed around the world for the quality of their product and responsible for countless whisky pilgrims descending on it's shores.
My own love affair with Scotland's national drink started with a seasonal job in a Highland whisky shop where, despite being a whisky virgin, i was given responsibility of selling a very fine range of malts and blends to aficionados and novices alike. My first few weeks involved being thrown in at the deep end of an amber tinted pool and reading my way through a pile of books with daily knowledge quizzes. My education was more than just theoretical though and involved ALOT of sampling and after hours drinking, oops I mean training sessions!
One thing that I didn't get to do was visit the distilleries that produced the hundreds of bottles that I became an expert at drinking and selling, so when Scottish Routes invited me to experience their 4 Day Islay Whisky Tour I immediately dropped all other plans and packed my bags!
There are 8 distilleries on Islay and the tour takes you on very different experiences around 6 of them, namely Lagavulin, Ardbeg, Laphroaig, Bunnahabhain, Kilchoman and Bruichladdich. If that doesn't sound enough of a dream come true, then a bonus visit to Deanston Distillery en-route will ensure that the mood is set before you even have time to toast your fellow whisky devotees!
The tour normally starts from Edinburgh although Glasgow pickups can be arranged if required and this is where I boarded and began my journey into the fascinating world of Scotch a short time later at Deanston Distillery in the village of Doune. Joining up with the rest of my international group we dipped our first toe into the malted world of whisky production during a tour of this former cotton mill. I quickly learned that being on a whisky tour in Scotland means that drinking Scotch at any time of day is not only considered sociable but compulsory and certainly no-one on the trip was complaining when we were offered our first drams at what others may still consider 'breakfast' time.
Although Day 1 is essentially a travelling day, the first port of call at Deanston Distillery is followed by several scenic stops to break up the journey with a relaxed lunch at Oban, famed for it's seafood and with enough time to pop in to Oban distillery if you would like to sample the local dram.
For me, a chance to stretch the legs at arguably one of the most historically rich sites in Scotland was a real treat. Kilmartin Glen is home to over 350 ancient monuments within a 6 mile radius and we had the opportunity to explore a few of them before boarding the bus for the evening ferry.
The ferry journey is a relaxing 2 hours and with a malt of the month being served on board in double measure at a bargain price your Islay whisky journey officially starts as you cross the water!

Wizards' promotions go beyond court boundaries
Jeff BarkerTHE BALTIMORE SUN
WASHINGTON -- Once, the Washington Wizards had Michael Jordan wearing their uniform, and that was a marketer's dream.
When the team landed Jordan as a player in 2001, it was like adding Babe Ruth to the Yankees' lineup, or signing the Beatles to play Shea Stadium.
But after two years of sellout crowds and nationally televised games (but middling won-lost records) MJ drove away from MCI Center for the last time in a gleaming convertible. Attendance, which had averaged 20,424 in the two Jordan years, slipped 23 percent last season to a more Wizards-like 15,740.
A franchise accustomed to reinventing itself suddenly needed a new identity. Again.
And the team was left to ponder how to replace Jordan as a sales magnet. The answer, it decided, is that you don't.
Rather than bringing in aging stars as it once did -- Jordan, Jerry Stackhouse and Mitch Richmond, among others -- the franchise is seeking to re-establish itself this season by stockpiling younger talent, adopting a new slogan ("Pure Energy") and staging promotions such as "singles nights" and baby-crawling races. The first singles event, featuring Ravens safety Will Demps as the eligible bachelor, was held last Wednesday.
The club's marketing strategy includes reaching out to Baltimore, where it had played until moving to the Washington area in 1973. Beginning in 1988-89, the then-Bullets played three or four games a year in Baltimore, but that stopped in the 1997-98 season, when the team moved from US Airways Arena in Landover (the former Capital Centre) to MCI Center and changed its name to Wizards.
"Part of the deal for MCI Center ... was that we play 41 games here," says Susan O'Malley, the team's president. "We are looking at playing a preseason game in Baltimore, maybe next season."
The club works with bus companies to ferry Baltimore groups to Washington and back for games.
No matter where it plays, the team (3-4) knows it would sell more tickets if it won a little more.
More than most clubs, it's important for the Wizards to play well early to demonstrate a glimmer of promise and show fans that this season can be different from the last. NBA teams' performance in November and December "always has a dramatic impact on later ticket sales. With the Wizards, that's especially true," O'Malley says.
The Wizards don't necessarily have to make the playoffs -- it's happened just once in the past 15 seasons -- but they must show progress.
"You don't have to win every year," says David Carter, president of the Sports Business Group in Los Angeles. "People are going to understand if there is a season-ending injury or something. But you need to look like you're trying your very best to put the team in a position to win."
Of course, gimmicks don't hurt, either. If fans can no longer see "Air Jordan," at least they can come to a game and maybe get a date.
That was the premise behind the first "Singles Night," which the Wizards staged in conjunction with their victory over the Orlando Magic.
About 350 single men and women paid $50 each for tickets to the game and pre- and post-game parties.
The evening featured "speed dating" in which the guys changed seats every quarter, to sit next to a different woman each time.
At halftime, Demps strolled to center court to play a "dating game" with three randomly selected contestants. Demps was greeted with a lukewarm reception from the pro-Redskins crowd.
A Raven was selected instead of a Redskin because "we work often on community events with the Ravens' PR staff," says Ann Nicolaides, the Wizards' vice president for marketing. "We just said, 'Is there anybody that may be of interest?' and Will happens to be very attractive. We knew he was a looker."
"Knowing that I'm away from my territory, I got booed at the beginning," Demps said, laughing about the experience afterward.
The third-year player sat on one side of a black curtain and asked questions to women seated out of his view. One of Demps' queries -- in this case a request: "When I intercept a pass and run it back for a score, I like to do my touchdown dance. Show the crowd the celebration dance you would do if you win the date with me tonight!"
Demps had no regrets about choosing Margarita Correa, 29, of Kensington.
"Gorgeous. She was amazing," said Demps, who had previously turned down a tryout for TV's The Bachelor. "I'm excited. You never know what the dating game can bring. It was fun."
Correa won a roundtrip airline ticket and a date with Demps.
"It was really awkward," she said of answering questions before the crowd of 15,042. But she was pleased with the result. "I didn't know who he was. He's gorgeous."
After the game, Wizards center Brendan Haywood participated in a similar dating contest. Point guard Gilbert Arenas has committed to a future such event.
The Wizards have scheduled more singles nights for Dec. 10. Jan. 6, March 2 and April 5.
The idea is to get fans to a game for the first time and hope they like it enough to come back.
While not unique, singles nights have not been used much at pro sports' upper echelons.
"A lot of it has been done certainly in the minor league systems," says Paul Swangard, managing director at the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon. "Minor leagues are the development leagues for players and for marketing."
The WTA held a singles night in conjunction with its tennis matches in Los Angeles last Wednesday -- with mixed success. Loud conversation from a restaurant disturbed players competing on the court.
The Wizards also stage baby- crawling contests. The first one was Sunday, coinciding with a "Kids Day" promotion in which children 15 and younger could buy a $15 upper level ticket when accompanied by an adult.
On any given night, Wizards executives know they can attract 10,000 fans who hold some type of season-ticket plan. They are trying to raise that to the Jordan-era level of about 14,000.
If singles events can help, then bring them on, O'Malley says. "People just want to see if this [event] is Loserville. If it works, then I think it can be explosive," she says.

Arthur Secunda
Arthur Secunda is an internationally renowned artist whose career has spanned eight decades. His one man shows have been seen worldwide in numerous galleries and museums in France, Sweden, Belgium, Holland, Spain, Israel, and Japan. In the United States, he is represented in most major museums of the country, including the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C., the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the UCLA Museum, the Detroit Art Institute, and the Phoenix Museum. Known for his brilliant collages and striking graphics, Secunda has mastered all types of printmaking, even making his own canvas in France and Japan. His impressive body of work includes painting, mixed media, polyester assemblage, ceramics and welded sculpture. His studies began at the Detroit Art Institute as a teenager, and continued in New York at the Art Students League and New York University. After a stint in the Air Force as an artist, he then studied, thanks to the GI bill, in Mexico, Paris and Italy, with many great artists and teachers, beginning a lifelong propensity for travel-- living and working in other countries. For decades, he maintained studios in Paris and LA.
He considers himself a landscape artist, and has developed his own iconography in representing nature, the land and its forms, as well as corresponding inner landscapes. He is known for a specific kind of color gradation and blending of forms in many media. His work tends to oscillate between the serene--striated colors in landscapes--to the expressive, as in many of his oil paintings.
After years in Paris, Secunda has maintained a studio in Scottsdale and Colorado for the last decade--doing what he has done in all of the other places he has lived and worked in the last 70 years--creating imagery.

Funicularity in elastic domes: Coupled effects of shape and thickness
Ludovica Palma
Funicularity in elastic domes: Coupled effects of shape and thickness.
Rel. Alberto Carpinteri, Federico Accornero. Politecnico di Torino, Corso di laurea magistrale in Ingegneria Civile, 2021
The present work aims to analyse the behaviour of thin or shallow shells in order to find a simple way for defining quantitatively the concept of Funicularity. The first mention in the scientific literature about the condition of Funicularity was due to Dermot O'Dwyer, who describe the funicular analysis of masonry vaults.He started by studying arches in which the stress state can be represented with a line of thrust defined by a funicular polygon. This calculation procedure becomes more difficult when we deal with 3-D structures like shells. He proposes a method to evaluate the surface of thrust and to determinate the ultimate load of collapse This method consists of seven different steps that allow to find the force network by imposing two sets of constraints: the first is related to the height of the structural nodes that should lie into the thickness of the element; the second set of constraints concerns the vertical equilibrium of the forces in each node. Then, O'Dwyer's idea has been improved by John Ochsendorf and his student Philippe Block. They designed a new type of analysis, the Thrust Network Analysis,starting from Maxwell's concept of reciprocal figures. There will be two figures, the primal grid Γ and the dual grid Γ*,which can be considered the reciprocal of the former. As a matter of fact, the equilibrium of a node in Γ can be represented by a closed polygon in Γ* and vice versa. Another approach to mention is the one proposed by Francesco Marmo and Luciano Rosati. Their method is analogous to TNA, but they tried to simplify the process by considering only the primal grid and not the dual one. Consequently, they deleted some geometric hypothesis. Furthermore, they studied the problem of shells loaded by horizontal loads,in order to apply their method also in seismic areas. It is worth noting that in TNA,all the loads have to be vertical ones. The abovementioned approaches are complex,employing a large number of equations to be solved.Therefore, the aim of the present thesis is to propose a simple and effective method to describe the surface of thrust governing the static behaviour of shell structures. Our studies have been implemented by "SAP2000" FEM software: at first,it has been necessary to define the radius R,the height H,the number of divisions along the vertical axes Z,and the angular divisions of the shell mesh;then,the element type has been adopted by choosing "thick shell", which has been characterized by Concrete C28/35 material with E=32308 MPa and ν=0.2. Thus, the parametric analysis has been performed by varying the shell relative thickness, t/2R,and the shallowness ratio, H/R,as in the following: H/R=5/5;4/5;3/5;2/5;1/5 t/2R=1/15;1/25;1/40;1/70;1/100;1/200;1/500 Finally,35 finite element models have been obtained from the combination of these two dimensionless parameters. From the SAP models,in which the shell structures are subjected to dead load only,we have obtained the bending moments and axial forces Mx,My,Nx,Ny for each shell node, from which it is possible to derive the eccentricities of the surface of thrust: ex=Mx/Nx ey=My/Ny eav=(ex+ey)/2 From the analysis of the obtained surfaces of thrust,it is possible to observe that,by decreasing the shell relative thickness,the surface of thrust tends to overlap with the geometrical axis of the structure particularly in the boundary constraint region:it means that, for each shallowness ratio, the bending moment acting at the shell supports tends to vanish.

Qualquer ajuda é válida, agradeço! :)

A: Eu vi alguns pontos no seu código que necessitariam serem revistos. Primeiramente, no terceiro if, você colocou apenas um sinal de igual, nesse caso vc está atribuindo o valor do elemento2 ao elemento1, ao invés de estar comparando. O correto seria:
else if (elemento1 == elemento2){
   return ('Elemento ' + elemento1 + ' (number)' + ' é equivalente ao elemento ' + elemento2 + ' (string)')
}

Outra questão é que o último IF nunca será atingido, pois ele é o mesmo que o primeiro, portanto é um código desnecessário, poderia apagá-lo.
Eu fiz uma versão do código e gostaria de compartilhá-lo com você, veja se concorda comigo e se dará certo:
function comparadorBasico(elemento1, elemento2) {
  let comparador;
  if (elemento1 === elemento2) {
    comparador = 'estritamente igual';
  } else if (elemento1 == elemento2) {
    comparador = 'equivalente'
  } else {
    comparador = 'diferente';
  }
  return `Elemento ${elemento1} (${typeof elemento1}) é ${comparador} ao elemento ${elemento2} (${typeof elemento2})`
}

Primeiramente, eu criei uma variável para armazenar qual é a relação de comparação entre os dois elementos, para evitar ficar retornando a mensagem toda hora. Depois faço 3 comparações: comparo se são do mesmo tipo e do mesmo valor ("==="), depois comparo se são iguais porém de tipos diferentes ("=="), e se não der certo nenhuma opção anteriormente, significa que são diferentes. Por fim monto a mensagem de retorno.
Há! Uma dica! Você pode utilizar typeof nomeVariavel para saber qual é o tipo dela.

A: Tenho um exercícios referente essa sua duvida, e fiz o código dessa forma.
function comparadorBasico(elemento1, elemento2) {
if (elemento1 === elemento2) {
   console.log("Elemento",+elemento1, typeof elemento1+ " é estritamente igual ao elemento", +elemento2, typeof elemento2)
  }else if(elemento1 !== elemento2){
    console.log("Elemento",+elemento1, typeof elemento1+ " é diferente igual ao elemento",+elemento2, typeof elemento2)
  }else{
    console.log("Elemento",elemento1, typeof elemento1+ " é equivalente ao elemento",+elemento2, typeof elemento2)
  }

}

19 Things to Know Before You Go to Malta
Author & Photographer:
Steven Bonello,
Bells, yells, and feasts—intel for the navel of the Mediterranean.
It's crowded. Malta is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, with 423,000 souls packed into an area one-tenth the size of Rhode Island and one-fifth the size of Greater London. Most live on the congested island of Malta, with a few more spread onto the calmer Gozo, and the rest — all three of them — on Comino. But there's still space for visitors: Tourism took off in the early 1960s and now accounts for 12% of Malta's GDP. Its photogenic, ancient cities (the capital, Valletta, is a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site) and turquoise lagoons and beaches keep travelers coming.
The fortified city of Senglea, which resisted an Ottoman invasion in 1565.
The Knights put Malta on the map. Malta is the navel of the Mediterranean, floating in the sea between Sicily and Libya. An ancient temple-building civilization, later Phoenician, Roman, Arab, Norman, and Aragonese occupations all made some mark on Maltese culture and left an impressive collection of UNESCO-anointed sites. Then for a couple of centuries from 1530, the Order of the Knights of St. John–originally hospitallers recruited from Europe's noble families accompanying pilgrims during the Crusades–ruled Malta, pulling it culturally towards Europe and transforming it into a maritime power that gave the Ottomans a run for their money. The noble Knights also, quite literally, furnished Malta with Europe's finest art and architecture. With the Knights' power on the wane a couple of centuries later, Napoleon took the islands with little resistance. After two turbulent years of anti-clerical French rule, the Catholic Maltese asked Britain for help kicking out the French. The Brits, sensing opportunity, obliged, and remained for 164 years until Malta became independent in 1964. Malta joined the European Union in 2004.
The calmer, greener island of Gozo.
Don't follow the white taxis—they're bad news. Locals give these a wide berth, for good reason. The white cabs at the airport are expensive, and the drivers are rude and slack about switching their meters on. It's smarter to use one of the cab companies that do online bookings. Ecabs and John's are both reliable. Buses are a cheap alternative and cover almost everywhere, and there is a limited night service too. (Malta also has one of the densest road networks in the world.)
Pastizzi is king. Maltese cuisine is Mediterranean-oriented, but the essential Maltese snack is the simple pastizz: a lozenge-shaped, greasy, cholesterol-charged pastry filled with ricotta or peas. Pastizzeriji are all over, but the pastizzi institution is the Crystal Palace Bar in Rabat, a hole-in-the-wall that closes for only two hours each day during the week. A coffee and a couple of pastizzi wil cost a couple of dollars. (But be warned that "pastizz" is also a derogatory term, and a euphemism for a woman's more intimate parts.) Pastizzi might be one reason the Maltese rank high on the obesity scales worldwide; Maltese men rank 16th worldwide, and Maltese women are the most overweight in Europe. Pastizzi are not the only culprit, though. The Maltese are among Europe's most exercise-shy folk.
Pastizzi—Malta's snack.
Bunnies are food, not pets. Malta imports much of its food, so local fare has always been influenced by and adapted from outside cuisines – especially Italian, Sicilian, and North African. There is no official national dish, but a feast of stewed rabbit known as fenkata comes close. Some believe the popularity of fenkata is rooted in resistance to the hunting restrictions imposed by the Knights of St. John, then honed when the Maltese learned from French knights how to domesticate rabbits. Though there are hunted wild rabbits on the islands, these are usually lean and small. Rabbits for the table are more likely bred for the purpose. Variations include stuffat tal-fenek (rabbit stew), fenek moqli (fried rabbit), and spagetti biz-zalza tal-fenek (spaghetti in rabbit sauce). Restaurants specializing in rabbit are found in Mġarr and Baħrija in the north of Malta, and there is the legendary Charlie's Inn in Salina, more affectionately known as Charlie l-maħmug ("Unhygienic Charlie").

It's best not to talk politics. The Maltese take their politics seriously, and both the Labour and Nationalist parties have a large and loyal following. Election turnouts are super high, and there is a party office-slash-club in every town and village. A lot of Maltese follow their party like a football club, through thick and thin. There were some politico-religious skirmishes in the 1960s and some violent incidents in the 1980s, but while these tensions have subsided, some bitter memories remain. When election time comes, some establishments prohibit all talk of politics, even putting up signs forbidding it.
Malta has a church for every day of the year. That's what they say, but the number is actually somewhere around 359. Still, it's a big number for such a small country (more than one for each square kilometer.) Malta's language is rooted in its Arab past, but day-to-day culture has a big Roman Catholic footprint. Luke the Apostle and Paul of Tarsus were shipwrecked off Malta in 60 A.D., and Paul is credited with introducing Christianity to the islands and making Malta one of the earliest outposts of the faith. Catholicism is still serious business in Malta—abortions are illegal—and church attendance is among the highest in Europe. This enthusiasm is reflected both in the outsize number of churches, and their baroque ostentation, mostly funded by parishioners themselves. And they're not just any churches—St. John's Cathedral in Valletta is a wonder to behold, and owns two Caravaggios—including his largest and only signed work, which is proudly displayed in the church's oratory.
St. John's Cathedral.
Pika makes Malta go round. Like the German schadenfreude, pika doesn't translate well, but the closest word is something like "rivalry". Towns and villages strive hard to outdo each other at their feasts, with fireworks displays, sports, or the height of the village flagpole. This probably explains why a village of 3,000 in Gozo built the world's third-highest unsupported dome, and why the town of Mosta has the world's fourth-largest unsupported dome. Intra-community pika can be stronger still: If one town's band club builds new premises, the other is likely to beg, steal, and borrow to build a larger one. For a long time the spire of the Anglican Cathedral was Valletta's highest pinnacle, until the Roman Catholic Carmelites built a huge dome next to it with the lantern stretching a few crucial feet higher than the "heathen" spire.
Zabbar's festa.
In summer, you can't avoid the festa. All Maltese towns and villages celebrate their patron saint in style with weeklong activities leading up to feast day, which climaxes with a procession, music, and fireworks. The most impressive fireworks displays are in the south of the island, where the villages of Żurrieq, Mqabba, Qrendi, Għaxaq, and Gudja compete fiercely. Santa Marija in August brings fireworks geeks from all over, because several feasts are celebrated simultaneously, naturally with fireworks befitting the occasion.
Every village has a band. Sometimes two. A relic of British regimental marching bands common during the Empire's heyday in Malta, philharmonic band clubs started up in the 19th century hand-in-hand with village festas, and are an integral part of village life, with their bars functioning as popular local hangouts. They are generally a mix of volunteer and semi-professional musicians brandishing woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments. But band clubs do far more than perform music: They organise town social events, and are the linchpin of the loud and proud festas that dominate Maltese summers. A pika-fuelled highlight is the ritual of trash-talk-slash-chanting between rival band clubs. The most boisterous band marches are held in Ħamrun and Żabbar.
One of Malta's many village bands.
Breaking records is a national pastime. Guinness or otherwise, Malta has a fixation for setting (sometimes bizarre) records. Turu Rizzo was the first man to attempt a swim from Sicily to Malta in 1933, but he was thwarted by rough weather three miles from home. Fellow Maltese Nicky Farrugia succeeded in 1985. Albert Rizzo (grandson of Turu) was the first Maltese to get his name in the Guinness Book of Records when in 1980 he established a record for treading water, spending 72 hours and three minutes in the sea. The Lily Fireworks Factory of Mqabba created—and fired up—the world's largest Catherine Wheel in 2011. The town of Qormi went for the world's largest wine glass for their festival in 2012. The Zabbar local council set up the world's largest dining table, measuring 359 meters (just over 1177 feet) along Zabbar's main street in 2013.
Malta's bathing waters are the cleanest in Europe. This is thanks to sewage treatment plants part-financed by the EU. But the most popular sandy beaches are near large hotels and can get quite crowded in summer; Comino's famed Blue Lagoon is swarmed with day-trippers during weekends. Gozo has just one large sandy beach but is blessed with a good number of secluded rocky coves. Għajn Barrani, also in Gozo, is a good candidate for a secluded beachy getaway: a perfectly flat rock shelf with some huge boulders that provide welcome shade. There are no amenities, and it's a kilometer (just over half a mile) on foot to get there, the last part on clay slopes. Blissfully, it's not signposted either.
Selmun Bay—not accessible by public transport.
There will be noise. Lord Byron is said to have called Malta the island of yells, bells, and smells. Whether he really said this is disputed, but it may have stuck because it's accurate on the bells at least. Deafening petards are let off as early as 8 a.m. on feast days and can go on—in healthy disregard for local laws—past 11 p.m. Church bell-ringing starts as early as 7 a.m. on feast days. Gas delivery trucks honk loudly to announce their presence, and vans selling doughnuts go one worse with a loudhailer playing a pre-recorded sales pitch. Most Maltese seem to naturally talk loudly and like their Italian neighbours, talk with their hands and gesticulate, even while driving. The gesticulating is mostly non-aggressive, even if it does not appear that way.
Malti is the only Semitic language written in Latin script. The distinctive Maltese language is also the only Semitic-origin language officially recognized as a European Union tongue, and provides translation work for many Maltese expats in Brussels. It is an ancient language descended from Siculo-Arabic (an Arabic dialect that developed in Sicily, then Malta) with a sprinkling of English, Italian, and French words.

Malta loves cars. The number of cars in Malta is staggering. At the last count, there were 337,000 motor vehicles, and around 50 new car licences are issued daily. Car maintenance is a refined art and old models such as the Hillman Minx, Volkswagen Beetle, and the Triumph Herald are still around. The original 1970s Escort MK1 is a cult car in Malta, and British Bedford trucks from the 1950s and 1960s still make rounds selling household items or paraffin. Until public transport was overhauled in 2011, some of the buses were over 50 years old, and most of the bus bodies were built locally, with vernacular decoration added in the form of finely painted designs and script called tberfil.

You can become Maltese—at a price. Malta raised eyebrows in 2013 when it launched its International Investment Program, making it possible for anyone with enough cash to become a Maltese citizen—and therefore snag a European Union passport. The criteria include passing a "Fit and Proper" test, contributing €650,000 into a National Development & Social Fund, making an investment in property of at least €350,000 or investing €150,000 in bonds or shares approved by the Maltese government to be kept for at least five years.

Immigration is a sensitive topic. Thanks to its location, over the last decade Malta has been a way station for migrants departing from the North African coast (mostly Libya) on rickety boats, hoping to get to mainland Europe. In 2012, Malta received the highest number of asylum seekers for its population. The Maltese are divided on the issue. Some have dubbed this Malta's 'third siege'(the first was when the Knights of St. John withstood the Ottoman forces in 1565, and the second during World War II when Malta was bombarded by the Italians and then the Germans) and some feel that the European Union should have a fairer burden-sharing policy, because Malta is tiny and already crowded. There were some public protests against illegal immigration, but these are now discouraged and condemned by all political parties.
Popeye lived here. Malta has often served as a backdrop for Hollywood movies: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie closed off a whole beach to build a film set for the upcoming film By the Sea. Game of Thrones scenes were shot all over, and Russell Crowe battled tigers at Fort Ricasoli in Gladiator. But there's also a more permanent film settlement: In 1980, set designers built an entire pirates' village for Robert Altman's musical Popeye adaptation, with a bald Robin Williams in the title role. The movie had mixed reviews, but the surreal Sweethaven Village still stands and is open for visitors.
Popeye's Sweethaven Village, in Malta's north.
Where to get away from the crowd. The Maltese do not generally indulge in leisure walking, so large stretches of the countryside are usually people-free. Majjistral Park in the north is a silent refuge six times the size of Valletta, with a labyrinthine boulder scree. Almost all of the island of Gozo is quieter and greener, and some Maltese now have a second weekend home there just to escape the crowd on the main island.

The Present — September 27, 2022
Stanford engineers warn that electric car charging could crash a grid powered by renewable energy
Most electric car charging is done at night. A grid powered mostly by renewable energy might not be able to meet demand, but there is a solution.

Most EV owners currently charge their vehicles at night, but that could be a problem in the next decade when more EVs are on the road and the grid is increasingly based on wind and solar.
EVs require a lot of energy to charge and solar energy production falls off at night. That means that utilities will have to rely on fossil-fuel peaking plants or a lot of grid storage to supply power.
A simpler solution would be to encourage daytime charging of EVs while most drivers are at work. This would protect the grid and lower costs for all.

Renewable energy and electric vehicles (EVs) are key to decarbonizing the U.S. and combating climate change, but the technologies could have a hard time co-existing when it comes to charging, particularly out West, a new analysis finds.
A looming problem
Most EV owners currently charge their vehicles at night when they aren't in use, taking advantage of cheaper, off-peak electricity rates when demand is low and fossil fuel (mostly natural gas) or nuclear power plants are providing much of the electricity. But by 2035, with hotter nighttime temperatures requiring more air conditioning, a low-carbon grid powered predominantly by wind and solar, and tens of millions of EVs on the road, charging those vehicles at night — when the sun isn't shining — could overburden the power grid.
At any given time, electricity-generating sources connected to the power grid — power plants, solar panels, wind turbines, etc. — need to produce more energy than the total demand from consumers, be it from appliances, lighting, EV charging, or anything else that requires electricity. If there's not enough generation to meet demand, slight or complete loss of power can occur.
The team of Stanford engineers behind the new report, published in the journal Nature Energy, found that mass EV adoption — where 30%-40% of vehicles or more are electric — coupled with owners charging those EVs in the evening or at night, could shift peak electricity demand on the Western Interconnection, the power grid covering the western U.S. and western Canada, from late afternoon to around 8-9 p.m. and raise it by up to 25%. Meeting this higher demand could necessitate quickly firing up fossil fuel-based "peaker" plants or relying on 10 to 24 gigawatts of grid storage, mostly from batteries charged during the day from excess solar generation. The former option is incredibly polluting, while the latter requires a massive build-out, about 40 to 100 times the grid storage that was available in 2019. Both methods are extremely expensive.
A possible solution
A better solution, the Stanford engineers say, is to encourage EV charging at work during daylight hours when solar energy production is at its zenith.
"We encourage policymakers to consider utility rates that encourage day charging and incentivize investment in charging infrastructure to shift drivers from home to work for charging," the study's co-senior author, Ram Rajagopal, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford, said in a statement.
Electric car sales are soaring, and there is a three-month or even two-year wait for most models. EV sales are projected to rise from 5% of all new vehicle sales in 2022 to 30% in 2030. Thus, owners out West might need to adopt the Stanford engineers' recommendation sooner rather than later.
Electric cars in the future
In a future world where 90% of all vehicles in the U.S. are EVs, charging alone could account for one-third of all electricity use. It's imperative that this unprecedented rise in demand be spread out during the day to prevent usage peaks that are mismatched with renewable energy production. Innovative software and technology that allows fully-charged electric cars to provide energy back to the grid could also help.
"By avoiding the evening peak and better aligning with renewables, daytime-charging scenarios reduce the amount of storage required to support EV charging and free it to provide other services," the authors write.

DeGale faces Periban on 11/22 on Bellew-Cleverly 2 card in Liverpool
Bill Phanco - October 9, 2014
Boxing fans will be seeing #1 IBF, #4 WBO James DeGale (19-1, 13 KOs) stepping into the ring to fight #11 WBC Marco Antonio Periban (20-2-1, 13 KOs) on 11/22 at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, UK. DeGale's promoter Eddie Hearn made the announcement that DeGale-Periban has been added to the Tony Bellew – Nathan Cleverly 2 card as likely the chief support. Periban is a decent, but hardly great opponent.
It would be a lot more interesting to see DeGale fighting the guys that recently beat Periban in Sakio Bika or J'Leon Love. Hearn obviously doesn't want to take any chances of DeGale getting beaten by matching him against someone with a decent chance of beating him like Bika and Love.
DeGale needs a win over Periban for him to stay alive in his hunt to fight for the International Boxing Federation super middleweight title, which is currently held by Carl Froch. Either Froch will face DeGale on January 31st next year or he'll vacate or have the title stripped from him by the IBF for failing to defend it against DeGale.
If Froch doesn't fight DeGale then we'll be seeing DeGale facing one of the top contenders for the vacant IBF title. It's quite likely that DeGale will get an even weaker opponent than Periban to fight for the vacant IBF title unless someone like Gilberto Ramirez, #4 IBF, agrees to fight him.
The fight card will be shown on Sky Box Office and it'll be a pay-per-view. It's kind of a controversial move on Hearn's part top ask boxing fans to pay to see the card because it's hard for some fans to get excited about paying to see the likes of Cleverly and Bellew fight when both of them were recently exposed in knockout losses. It's a nice domestic level fight, but it's very difficult to picture the winner of the Bellew-Cleverly 2 fight moving on to beat any of the cruiserweight champions.
If this fight is as good as it gets for these two then it's not ideal in the minds of some fans that the card is a PPV one. The Bellew vs. Cleverly 2 winner could challenger WBO cruiserweight champion Marco Huck in the near future. I hate to say it, but Huck is bad news for either of these two guys. That's just the way it is.
