Q: Detail fragment re-starts even when rotated from landscape to vertical. (Master-Detail Flow) In an Activity, lets call it MasterActivity, I want to load the detail fragment with media playback only in landscape mode. The media automatically starts when ready.
Master-Detail Flow setup: I have two xmls, activity_master and activity_master.xml(land). The container view with id "detail_container" is only in the landscape xml. The purpose of the landscape xml with a detail container is to show master-detail both on the same screen, on width >900.
In onCreate(), this is how I'm determining the screen orientation though checking the existence of the "detail_container", like so:
if (findViewById(R.id.detail_container) != null) {
// The detail container view will be present only in the
// large-screen layouts (res/values-w900dp).
// If this view is present, then the
    mTwoPane = true;
}

and also in OnCreate() of the activity, I have the following code to automatically load the fragment when activity is in two pane mode (landscape on large-screen layouts)
if (mTwoPane) {
    getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
    .replace(R.id.detail_container,
             someFragment.newInstance(MEDIA_URI))
    .commit();
}

Problem:
When I start the activity in vertical, the fragment isn't loaded (expected).
When I start the activity in landscape, the fragment is loaded (expected).
On screen rotation, fragment is destroyed (expected, playback stops and resources released only in onDestory());
The problem is when I start activity in landscape but rotate it to vertical, the fragment restarts, and media playback start again (unexpected).
My Goal: I want the fragment to automatically load when the device is in landscape on large screen devices, on device rotation the fragment shouldn't load again.
EDIT: In vertical mode, the fragment shouldn't load automatically, user would click in master activity, opens the detail activity, and the detail activity would host the detail fragment.
How should I go about this? Thank You in Advance
Extra Info: Test physical device is a 7' tablet running Android 5.0 API 21, the issue is also present in emulator.

A: When a config change occurs, Android will make sure all fragments that are attached to an activity are recreated and reattached back to the new activity's FragmentManager ; this is separate of whether or not the fragments took setRetainInstance(...) into consideration.
So it looks like what you want to do is go against the automatic reattaching of fragments. I was curious about this too so I took a little deep dive into FragmentActivity.onCreate(...) and FragmentManager but I couldn't find anything exposed that allows developers to disallow this automatic process. You can, however, work around the process with a FragmentTransaction by performing the following in your code:
FragmentManager manager = getSupportFragmentManager();

if (mTwoPane) {
  // set up your two pane
  manager.beginTransaction()
    .replace(R.id.detail_container,
      someFragment.newInstance(MEDIA_URI),
      someFragment.TAG)
    .commit();
} else {
  // this is not two pane, so remove the fragment if it is attached
  Fragment detail = manager.findFragmentByTag(someFragment.TAG);
  if (detail != null) {
    manager.beginTransaction()
      .remove(detail)
      .commit();
  }
}

A: I don't know how your layout XML looks like but I suggest to define the Fragment in your "landscape" layout file only by creating a new directory called /res/layout-land if it not exists.
Layout may look similar to this:
<SomeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    ...
    <fragment android:name="com.example.YourPlaybackFragment"
            android:id="@id/playback_fragment"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" />
    ...
</SomeLayout>

Here's a useful link on the official Android doc.

Then the Fragment is only inflated in landscape mode and Android takes care of that. Same procedure can be done for bigger screens. That frees your MasterActivity from layout logic.
Your playback logic goes into the Fragment. If the Activity, for whatever reason, needs access to the Fragment then you pull it in with
YourPlaybackFragment fragment = (YourPlaybackFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.playback_fragment);

Hope that gives you the right direction.
Edit:
In that case your best bet is to add the Fragment programmatically in the onCreate() method similar to this.
if (findViewById(R.id.detail_container) != null) {
   // detect the landscape
   Display display = ((WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
   if(display.getRotation() == Surface.ROTATION_90) {
      // add the fragment
      getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add/replace(...)
   }
}

Disclaimer: not tested.

A: Since you have two different activities, the fragment no longer exists in the same context so that might be a little difficult to produce the behavior you're looking for. Try to do the following:
Portrait : xml layout with only one container for the MasterFragment. Swap this container with the DetailFragment when selected.
Landscape : xml layout with two containers, one for MasterFragment and one for DetailFragment. If DetailFragment already exists (user was viewing it in portrait before the orientation change), the fragment manager knows about it. Find the existing fragment and attach it to the appropriate container.
Assuming you're letting your activity be recreated on orientation changes, if you're using setRetainInstance(true), the fragment manager can hold onto your existing fragment and should re-attach the same one automatically on orientation change. If you want it to reattach, you should check to make sure the fragment doesn't exist yet before calling replace(...). If you want to attach it somewhere else, you can grab the existing one and put it in a different container.
if (mTwoPane) {
        if (getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(someFragment.TAG) != null) {
            // fragment already exists so either do nothing (auto reattach to R.id.detail_container)
            // or manually attach it to a different container
            return;
        }
        fragment = someFragment.newInstance(MEDIA_URI);
        getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                .replace(R.id.detail_container,
                         someFragment.newInstance(MEDIA_URI),
                         someFragment.TAG)
                .commit();
}

Ethelwyn was born of English Quaker parents at Rockwood, Ontario, on April 26, 1857. She was one of eleven children of Jemima Harris Balls and William Wetherald (founder/principal Rockwood Academy and later Quaker minister). Her family then made the move to Pennsylvania where her father William became superintendent of Haverford College. It was only two years later that the family moved back to Ontario. She was further educated at the Friends' Boarding School, Union Springs, N.Y., and at Pickering College. Ethelwyn never married, but did adopt a daughter Dorothy Rungeling.
Ethelwyn Wetherald had been known principally as a journalist and poet, but she also co-authored an historical romance novel "An Algonquin Maiden: A Romance of the Early Days of Upper Canada" with Graeme Mercer Adam in 1887. Her first independent publication, "The House of the Trees and Other Poems", was published in 1895 and two more books of verse were published in 1902 and 1904 ("Tangled in Stars" & "The Radiant Road"). She also worked in both prose and verse as a contributor to "The Christian Union", "The Chicago Current", "The Week", "The Canadian Monthly", and "Toronto Saturday Night". She also worked as an editor and contributor for the Globe using the pen name Bel Thistlethwaite and was part of the editorial staff for The Advertiser in London, Ontario. Ethelwyn also worked as an assistant to editor Francis Bellamy of the "Ladies Home Journal" and assistant to editor Forrest Morgan of "The World's Best Literature". In 1921, she published a book entitled Tree Top Morning, which she dedicated to her daughter Dorothy Rungeling who also became an author. In the last few years of Ethelwyn's life, she contributed to the Welland-Port Colborne Evening Tribune children's column "Patty Perkins Club". She used her own name and occasionally used the pseudonym "Octo" for octogenarian.

The Age of Reverse Mortgages, which I wrote about in April, is here. We can credit a new form of reverse mortgage, the Saver Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), for getting the ball rolling. The Saver HECM reduces the front-end mortgage insurance costs by lowering the credit limit for the mortgage.
How could a small change open a floodgate of interest?
Simple. First, it's not such a small change. Second, millions of retired homeowners are looking for ways to increase their retirement income. As a practical matter, I don't see the cost reduction is that big a deal. Using an online calculator, I found that a reverse mortgage on a $250,000 house would cost $11,626 in fees for the earlier form and $8,151 for the new Saver form. To learn more, visit the HUD website.
So let's do some back of the envelope calculations.
Robert and Robin are 65 and own a $250,000 house with no mortgage. They are looking for more retirement income. Using the ibis online reverse mortgage calculator, they find that they can get a principal limit (the maximum amount they can borrow) of about $159,000. This will net them a credit line $147,624 after paying fees of $11,626. That, in turn, will provide them with a tax-free monthly payment of $822 for as long as they occupy the house.
Twenty years later, at age 85, one dies and the other goes to a nursing home. Is anything left for their kids?
It all depends on what has happened with home values over the period. The amount owed (principal advanced plus accumulated interest) will have compounded to about $380,000 over the 20 years. If the house appreciates (or inflates) at 3 percent a year it will be worth about $450,000. At 4 percent the house would be worth about $550,000.
If they die or leave the house earlier, the accumulated debt against the house will be smaller. In any case, what's left will be a roll of the dice, but they have some upside. Not a lot, but some.
Now lets compare it to two more common life income alternatives.
Life Annuity. If the couple tries to get a joint and survivor life annuity for $822 a month, immediate-annuities.com indicates that they would need to make a payment of $165,000. If the money came from a retirement account, every bit of income would be taxable. If the money came from a taxable account, they would pay taxes on a portion of their life income. Equally important, once they purchased the life annuity, the financial assets in their estate would be reduced by $165,000.
Variable Annuity with Living Benefits. To get a lifetime income guarantee of $822 a month from a variable annuity contract with living benefits the couple would have to deposit nearly $200,000 to a contract that promised a 5 percent payout, a fairly typical rate for an age 65 married couple. The cash value of the contract after that would depend on how a total withdrawal rate of about 8 percent (payout plus product expenses) affected the value of the underlying account assets. The amount left would be another roll of the dice, but the ups and downs of markets would make a significant reduction in end value likely.
Since both the life annuity and variable annuity would have to be purchased from existing financial assets, the couples' financial flexibility would be reduced compared to using a reverse mortgage. Used for long term planning rather than emergencies, reverse mortgages are likely to become a major tool for the millions of Americans who have a lot more equity in their homes than in their retirement savings.

I paid rent and took broke Linturi abroad, says Kitany
By Bernice Mbugua On Thu, 22 Aug, 2019 08:00 | 3 mins read
Meru Senator Mithika Linturi estranged's wife Marianne Kitany.
Meru Senator Mithika Linturi estranged's wife Marianne Kitany yesterday told a court that she spent millions of shillings, including paying rent for the legislator, while they were together.
"The rent problems is one of the reasons I accommodated him in my house. He used to have rent arrears and at some point I gave him Sh200,000 for rent," she told the court.
"My uncle Andrew Chepkwony asked him whether he was married to any other woman; he said he wasn't and even produced a document showing he was divorced," she said.
Kitany also told Nairobi Chief Magistrate Peter Gisore how an elaborate Kalenjin ceremony that was attended by members of Linturi's family, was held to formalise their marriage.
"Even though he (Linturi) doesn't like mursik (traditional fermented milk), he took it because it is a requirement in the Kalenjin tradition during such ceremonies," Kitany told an attentive court.
The former chief of staff in Deputy President William Ruto's office, told the court that when they decided to make their relationship formal, they acquired a house in the upmarket Runda suburb which cost Sh110 million to accommodate their six children.
She said the senator had moved in with his three children after he failed to clear arrears for his rented house in 2014.
"I paid Sh30 million for the (Runda) house… we got the other amount from Atticon Company which we were both managing," she told the court.

Kitany, who claims to have spent Sh26 million from her pocket to renovate Linturi's Meru rural house which had cost Sh40 million to build, told the court that she believed she was renovating her home.
She was testifying in a divorce case that she has filed against the politician who claims she was "just a visitor" in his home and that he could not have been married to her as he was already in a legally recognised relationship.
However, Kitany has dismissed the claims, saying she used to pay house rent for Linturi when he was broke and had rent arrears, before they moved into the Runda home.
Kitany, who was being cross examined by her lawyer Danstan Omari, claimed to have spent another Sh8 million to build and furnish Linturi's parents' house in Riaki in Meru.
"I told him as we renovate the Meru house, I would also want to do his parents' house. We met his parents and he mentioned it to them and they were very excited," she said.
Kitany further told the magistrate that she paid Sh11 million for a trip to five cities in Australia with all the children and Linturi. The Senator did not make any contribution, she said.
"We wanted the children to bond and because my son was in Australia then, the whole family went to Australia in December 2014 for him to meet his new siblings," she told the court.
Prior to that, Kitany said the six children had accompanied her to Zanzibar where Linturi joined them for a two-week holiday.
The court heard that the family also made a trip to Mauritius in December 2015 with all the children, which she said cost her Sh800,000.
"The only help he gave was in 2015 when he paid school fees for one of my children and his children," she told the court.
Kitany told the court the senator convinced her in June 2015 not to go back to government after she had been forced to step down over corruption allegations.
"He told me not to go back to the government and instead join him in his business as I had an eye for business," she said.
She further revealed that Linturi had confided in her that he had been married to three other women before her but had divorced all of them.
According to Kitany, Linturi proposed to marry her on February 14, 2016 at a Meru hotel where he had taken her together with his friends and family.
"That is where the idea of going to Nandi was discussed… I was happy we were going to formalise the union," she said.
She further told the court that they planned and travelled with 19 others to Nandi county where a Nandi customary ceremony was performed and later a Meru customary marriage.
The court heard the Nandi customary marriage took place inside the house and afterwards, Meru customary marriage rituals were conducted outside. She said that while Linturi had to drink mursik during the ceremony, she chewed miraa.
According to Kitany, Linturi paid Sh100,000 dowry instead of four cows that he was supposed to give, according to Nandi culture, besides gifting her mother a Nissan X-Trail car.

More showers, maybe even some thunderstorms, ahead of Thanksgiving
By Ben Gutierrez | November 22, 2020 at 2:21 PM HST - Updated November 22 at 5:46 PM
The strong trade winds will gradually decline in speed during the first half of the week as a high pressure system passing north of the islands moves off to the east. Meanwhile, a band of moisture will remain focused toward windward Maui and Hawaii island through Tuesday. A passing upper level disturbance may trigger some heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms Tuesday into Wednesday. Drier and more stable trade wind weather is expected for Thanksgiving Day and Friday.
The wind advisory for parts of Maui County and Hawaii island has been extended until 6 a.m. Monday for east-northeast winds of 20 to 30 miles per hour with gusts near 50 miles per hour.
Looking further ahead, get ready to bust out the sweaters and jackets for the upcoming weekend, as cool and drier north-northeast winds will follow a weakening cold front Saturday and Sunday. Nighttime temperatures will dip down into the mid 60′s with daytime highs in the lower 80′s.
The winds are also strong enough to keep a gale warning posted for Alenuihaha Channel waters and a small craft advisory for remaining coastal waters through 6 a.m. Monday, while a high surf advisory has been extended until 6 p.m. Monday for east-facing shores, where waves will be rough and choppy. An arriving northwest swell is expected to hold through Monday morning. South shore surf will remain small through the week.

Pele's Son Edinho Trafficking drugs?
Thread starter Milanista
Milanista
Mangiamoli!
London & Milan
Not sure if this is offtopic or football, anyway i found this quite interesting and amusing.
Pele's son arrested in drugs raid
Edinho used to be a reserve goalkeeper for Santos
The son of Brazilian football legend Pele has been arrested in an anti-drugs operation in the port city of Santos. Edson Cholbi Nascimento, known as Edinho, 35, was one of at least 17 people held during an operation to smash a cocaine trafficking gang.
He has not been charged, but police said he was being questioned on suspicion of trafficking.
In 1999 he was jailed for six years for his part in street car race in which a motorcyclist was killed.
Edinho never enjoyed his father's success on the field, playing as a reserve goalkeeper for Santos.
Kidnap link?
Police seized weapons and vehicles during a series of raids in Santos, about 210 miles (340km) from Rio de Janeiro.
Edinho was expected to be questioned by anti-drugs police involved in the operation, believed to have been planned for eight months, reports said.
Authorities are also investigating reports that the gang was connected to the kidnap last year of the mother of current Brazilian star Robinho, the AFP news agency said.
Marina Souza was freed in late December after a $200,000 (£110,000) dollar ransom was paid.
Edinho retired from football in 1999, the same year as his murder conviction.
He was sentenced to six years in prison on a work release scheme.
His father, Pele, widely regarded as the greatest footballer of all time, won the World Cup three times with Brazil and later became a government minister.
Footboy

He´s assumed to be part of PCC a organized group of mean guys, such as kidnapers, thieves and so on..

They say the talent skips one generation, I'm sure Pele's grandkids will be as good as him!

I cant belive Pele let his son go down this road , I mean the guy can control his erection but not his kid

Quite a father he proved to be.

Its quite shocking that the sone of such a great player went down this road.
I dont think he ever wanted to be like his dad if he decided to be a goalkeeper.
Siroco
With all his dad's connections and goodwill, couldn't he have entered a more respectable line of crime -- U.N. for example?
If true, what a way to honor one's pop.

About Dr. Meina Liu, Ph.D.: Meina Liu is an Associate Professor of Communication in the Department of Organizational Sciences and Communication at The George Washington University (GW). She is the Graduate Director of GW's MA program in Communication Management, for which she oversees the review of graduate applications, enrollment, graduate advising and curriculum, DegreeMap, brown-bag events, student assessment, and thesis options. Dr. Liu's research foci include intercultural communication, organizational communication, and negotiation and conflict management. She teaches Research Methods in Communication, Intercultural Communication, and Intercultural Negotiation for the MA program, as well as Senior Seminar for undergraduate majors. Dr. Liu earned her PhD in Organizational Communication at Purdue University, her MA in Applied Linguistics from Tsinghua University, and her BA in English from Beijing Language and Culture University, China.
[MastersinCommunications.com] Could you please provide an overview of The George Washington University's (GW) Master of Arts in Communication Management, and how it is structured? What topics are covered in the core curriculum, and what are the key learning outcomes students can expect from this program?
[Dr. Meina Liu] GWU's MA Program in Communication Management is an interdisciplinary program that explores strategic management of communication messages and processes within and across a variety of contexts. It prepares students to develop depth and breadth in one or more of the following areas: organizational communication, intercultural communication, and health communication. Students are required to complete 30 credits (10 courses), with 15 credits from required courses, and the other 15 from elective courses inside or outside of Communication for non-thesis students, or a combination of electives (9 credits) and research (6 credits) for thesis students.
The required courses include: Communication Theory, Research Methods in Communication, Persuasion, Professional Communication, and Leadership Communication. Students who have taken any of the required courses at the undergraduate level can submit a waiver request; upon approval, the student can replace the required course with an elective. Non-thesis students are required to take at least two COMM electives (6 credits) and thesis students, one COMM elective (3 credits). Examples of COMM electives include Intercultural Negotiation, Organizational Communication and Conflict Management, and Health Communication. This curriculum allows students the flexibility of taking three electives (two for thesis students) from outside of Communication to expand their understanding of communication contexts across disciplines. Students develop a Plan of Study in collaboration with the graduate advisor in the first semester, which can be revised for approval when the need arises.
Analyze and develop strategies to enhance communication management functions in intercultural, organizational, public, and health contexts.
Expand and employ critical thinking practices, and strategic oral and written communication skills, applicable across multiple communication contexts.
Plan, implement, and actively facilitate communication management-related training and interventions to individuals, groups, and organizations in various contexts.
[MastersinCommunications.com] GW's Master of Arts in Communication Management offers both a master's thesis and a non-thesis option for students' final graduation requirement. Could you please elaborate on both of these options, and what they entail?
[Dr. Meina Liu] Students pursuing a thesis option will indicate their area(s) of research interest and identify an advisor and committee members for approval by the Graduate Committee by the end of the first semester. The student will enroll in two independent study courses to conduct research under the supervision of the advisor, with the first course culminating in a research prospectus, and the second one, an M.A. thesis, both to be evaluated by the committee in an oral defense. Examples of thesis projects include "Gender Differences in the Effect of Fear Appeals in Anti-Binge Drinking PSAs: Physical Fear vs. Social Fear" and "Person-Culture Fit and Intercultural Adaptation: The Effect of Communication Styles on International Students' Friendship Patterns and Psychological Wellbeing". Non-thesis students will be assessed in each of the individual courses; there is no additional project or exam beyond coursework.
[MastersinCommunications.com] What role does faculty mentorship play in GW's Master of Arts in Communication Management program, and how can students make the most of these mentorship opportunities and support systems? Additionally, what career development resources and academic services are available to students of this program?
[Dr. Meina Liu] Soon after admitted students accept the offer, they will receive a "Rules of the Road" document providing detailed information about the program, graduate student resource guide and handbook, curriculum, course schedule, and plan of study so that they can be successfully transitioned into the program and University. A welcome and orientation session is arranged for new MA students before or during the first week of class, where they will meet with faculty members and returning MA students in the Program. Internship opportunities are regularly sent out via the COMM-MA email list-serve. Besides faculty mentorship that is available throughout their stay in the program, a series of brown-bag events are arranged for MA students to receive career-related advice or training from successful alums and invited speakers. Thesis option students benefit from extensive faculty support and mentorship during the completion of their theses through independent study courses.
[MastersinCommunications.com] What advice do you have for prospective students in terms of submitting a competitive application for GW's Master of Arts in Communication Management program?
[Dr. Meina Liu] Applicants to our program must submit a personal statement, transcripts of all college-level coursework they have taken, two letters of recommendation, and GRE test scores (this requirement can be waived for GWU applicants or applicants who hold a doctorate-level degree, such as a J.D., an M.D., or a Ph.D.). International applicants are required to submit TOEFL test scores or scores from an equivalent English proficiency test. Detailed admission requirements can be found here.
The Graduate Studies Committee reviews applications by looking at the entire package rather than one specific aspect. Our MA students come from a variety of academic backgrounds, including international affairs, economics, organizational sciences, political communication, strategic communication, mass communication, women's studies, and so on. In general, applicants that articulate a good fit between their backgrounds/interests and what our program offers are given more serious consideration than those that write a generic essay. For example, a student who describes how the program's course offerings may help advance his or her career goals is considered to have a stronger fit and motivation than a student seeking a career in journalism.
[MastersinCommunications.com] What makes GW's Master of Arts in Communication Management unique, and a particularly strong graduate degree option for students? How does the program prepare students for careers in communication research and instruction, as well as roles in industry across different fields?
[Dr. Meina Liu] GWU's location in Washington, DC is particularly appealing to students pursuing a Master's education in Communication Management, given its international and domestic diversity, numerous leading organizations, business headquarters, consulting firms, and government and media agencies. Based on our research on eight major universities in the surrounding areas, GWU's M.A. program in Communication Management is the only degree of its kind in the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Possible professional career paths for someone with our Communication Management degree include any role that involves employing problem-solving and decision-making at interpersonal or group levels, making strategic decisions around communication issues, and utilizing written and oral advocacy skills to achieve coordinated actions in professional contexts. One of the major appeals of this degree is the wide variety of career paths that students can pursue. Students with an M.A. in Communication Management enter careers as Project Managers, Communications Managers, Brand Specialists, Market Research Analysts, and so on.
Thank you, Dr. Liu, for your excellent insight into The George Washington University's Master of Arts in Communication Management program!

How can one adequately describe one's emotions after walking through four thousand years of Jerusalem's turbulent history? Come and join me and I'll do my best to trace those moments in Jerusalem's history that have been etched in the pages of the Bible.
One of the recent innovations in the Old City is a continuous walkway along the top of the massive ramparts that were built by Suleiman the Magnificent about 1530 A.D. Some of the most spectacular views of the Old City and the surrounding hills may be had from this walkway. From the Lion's Gate the view extends northward to Nebi Samwil, the burial-place of the prophet Samuel. Nearer at hand is a magnificent view of Jerusalem's new suburbs on French Hill. This is in marked contrast to the minefields and slit trenches that were there when I visited the area soon after the June War of 1967. You will need about two hours to continue the walk along the top of the ramparts to the Damascus Gate, then on to the Jaffa Gate. This section of the wall of the Old City has been landscaped with attractive walkways through flower beds ablaze with colour in the spring.
From the Jaffa Gate to the Zion Gate there is a view of the Hinnom Valley now transformed into a magnificent park. It is almost impossible to realize that this valley was once the scene of the most hideous idol worship where babies were burnt alive to the god Molech and which later became known as Gehenna, a place synonymous with Hell because of the perpetual fires that burned there.
From above the Zion Gate there is a spectacular view of what was once David's City, and before that it was the Jebusite stronghold known as Jebus. Then from the south east corner your eyes take in the uninterrupted panorama of the Kidron Valley and the rolling hills of the Judaean wilderness stretching away to the Dead Sea. From this vantage point you can take in the Mount of Olives, and a sweep of 180 degrees takes you to Mount Moriah directly to the north.
It seems fitting to spend a few moments here reflecting on events which once happened in this sacred area. Four thousand years ago the Patriarch Abraham passed this way twice. On the first occasion he had an appointment in the Kidron Valley near where we are standing, with Jerusalem's king, Melchizedek, and about twenty years later he was to pass this way again to build an altar on Mount Moriah upon which to sacrifice his son Isaac.
If we leave the ramparts at the Dung Gate there is a pathway along the Ophel Ridge south of the Old City that takes us to a sloping wall about fifteen metres high. This is holy ground indeed, for it is part of the Mount Zion of David's City. This was the very location immortalized by David in his Psalm: "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the City of our God, in the mountain of His holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King" (Psalm 48:1-2).
Seventy years after Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalem, Cyrus, king of Persia, thought by some to be the son of Queen Esther, issued his famous decree permitting the Hebrew captives to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple. The accounts given by Ezra and Nehemiah of their triumphs and tribulations make fascinating reading. Indeed, Nehemiah chapter two provides the clue for the commencement of Daniel's famous prophecy in chapter nine which foretells the time of Messiah's first advent and his subsequent death.
There are exciting discoveries constantly being made by archaeologists both in and round Jerusalem. Among the priceless artifacts that once adorned Solomon's temple was the Ark of the Covenant. Its whereabouts has remained a mystery for two thousand five hundred years. However, its exact location when it rested in the Holy of Holies is now thought to be ninety metres north of the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount. (See The Vineyard, October 1984). An archaeological dig for the Ark is currently being carried out at Qumran where the priceless Dead Sea Scrolls were found in 1947.
Five centuries after Jerusalem was rebuilt, an Idumean married a Jewess and was proclaimed king of Judaea by the Roman conquerors of the Jewish province they named Palestine. This cruel overlord named Herod was also a genius. He levelled the summit of Mount Moriah and in so doing built a huge retaining wall on its western side about four hundred metres long. Although only a short section of the wall is visible today there is almost as much below the surface as there is above ground.
A tunnel commenced after the Six Day War of 1967 reveals that the wall extends far beyond Wilson's Arch to almost opposite the spot where it is believed the Ark once rested. Some of the stone blocks used in the wall's construction are huge. One near the entrance to the tunnel is forty-six feet long and weighs about four hundred and fifteen tons. Others are estimated to weigh some three hundred tons!
Herod completely rebuilt Zerubbabel's second Temple which, when completed, was one of the wonders of the world at that time. Not far from the Jaffa Gate are the bases of three massive towers erected by Herod which were named Mariamne as a memorial to his wife whom he murdered, Phasael after his brother and Hippicus after his friend. One of his palaces perched like an eagle's aerie above a sheer drop of a thousand feet on Massada is an engineering and architectural masterpiece, as is also the hill-top fortress-palace at Herodion near Bethlehem.
But to return to Jerusalem: one of the problems facing archaeologists has been the building programme in the Jewish section of the Old City. This part of Jerusalem was made a shambles during the Jordanian occupation of Jerusalem between 1948 and 1967. Beautiful ancient synagogues were destroyed wantonly or used as latrines or rubbish dumps. Underneath the additional rubble and accumulation of debris of nineteen centuries were the remains of houses that had been undisturbed since the day they were destroyed by the Romans in August 70 A.D.
Structural engineers working in conjunction with archaeologists solved what appeared to be an impossible problem -- how to excavate and yet build at the same place and at the same time. The urgent need was for housing, so whilst the building programme pressed ahead, engineers reinforced foundations and this enabled the excavations to be made below. The result? Whilst life now goes on undisturbed above ground, one can wander amongst the restored ruins underground of magnificent dwellings that graced Jerusalem two thousand years ago.
Whilst we have our clocks retarded two thousand years a visit to the archaeological Ophel Garden just south of the Temple Mount is a must.
Here is located the broad stairway that leads to the Hulda Gates. This stairway has an interesting feature. After every two steps there is broader step about a metre wide and it is thought that the Songs of Degrees in the Psalms were sung as the Temple worshippers approached entry to the Temple area through the Hulda Gates.
Another interesting discovery in the Ophel Archaeological Gardens is the number of mikveh baths in what is believed to have been a hostel for pilgrims who came in their thousands to Jerusalem for the festivals. Perhaps this explains how three thousand were able to be baptized on the day of Pentecost as recorded in Acts chapter two.
But Jerusalem has suddenly leaped into the latter end of the twentieth century. And as the Psalmist said it is a city "that is compact together ", or as the Israelis today say, "Jerusalem shall never again be a divided city".
Modern Jerusalem has exploded in size during the past twenty years. Has the Psalmist given this generation the most pregnant promise of all time when he prophesied Messiah's second advent? "When the Lord shall build up Zion He shall appear in His glory" (Psalm 102:16).

Q: I am using modernizr and checking has class... but wrongly i am getting alert from 'firefox' borwser I am making a conditional function which is for ie8 or lesser, but i am getting the alert even in the firefox..
what is the wrong with my code?
var makeCurves = function(element){
    alert(element); //i am getting this alert even in firefox
    //ie throw the error as object expected
}
(function($){
    if(!Modernizr.borderradius && ($('div').hasClass('comCommunity'))){
        makeCurves($('div.comCommunity'));
    }

}(jQuery));

in case i use the code like this, it's working correctly:
$(document).ready(function(){
    if(!Modernizr.borderradius && ($('div').hasClass('comCommunity'))){
        makeCurves($('div.comCommunity'));
    }
})

is anything wrong with my self invoking function?

A: I don't know for sure but maybe Modernizr checks for "border-radius" and your Firefox version doesn't support the CSS3 feature? Firefox definitely supports "moz-border-radius" though..

It's Thursday, April 18, 2019 - 4:16 PM in Nigeria.
Nigerian commander Remi Fadairo points to the roiling plume of black smoke blotting the morning horizon in the Niger Delta — the unmistakable sign of an illicit oil refinery.
"Let's see if we can go eat them for breakfast," he says with an ominous chuckle.
The 44-year-old colonel, a man with broad shoulders wearing his fatigues tucked into gumboots, is standing in the middle of a destroyed illicit refinery in Kana Rugbana, an area in the swamplands some 20 nautical miles from Port Harcourt.
Fadairo is part of the Joint Task Force Operation Delta Safe, a coalition of Nigerian security forces tasked with protecting the country's oil and gas infrastructure.
Last year, militant attacks cut oil production to 1.4 million barrels per day (bpd) in August, triggering Nigeria's worst economic slump in 25 years.
Following talks with the government, the militants have suspended their sabotage. But Nigerian troops on the ground say the battle is not over, it has just changed.
Today, the military says one of its priorities is to crack down on the illicit refineries that they claim fund the operations of the militants.
"The two are interwoven, if they are not doing militancy, they are doing this," Fadairo tells AFP as he wades through crude-soaked muck.
Despite the site looking like a scrap yard, Fadairo says it actually is being rehabilitated, showing new silver pipes welded to a rusted metal container.
On the ground between iridescent oil puddles lay little sachets of gin, empty packets of instant noodles and cigarette butts left by the bush distillers.

Setting the Example: History written in CVs
SMPF — The Education Exchanges Support Foundation
In this campaign, for the very first time, a public organization in Lithuania has used a Messenger bot
to increase awareness of their brand and services.
The goal was to increase downloads of Europass CV form
which helps young people to make their first CV. The main target group was young students, who were daily spending time waiting for public transport to commute.
We decided to make that waiting time useful.
To attract their attention, there were huge posters with CVs of Lithuanian historical figures. The posters not only had a CV of a historical person written on it but also suggested scanning the messenger code and chat with them. One more pro — campaign allowed students to learn new things about Lithuanian history.
What we achieved?
The advertisement reached its main target group — students who are 15-24 years old. 30% of respondents questioned after the campaign said they are using Europass and 71% are familiar with it. The idea seemed interesting, original and exceptional and surely reached its goal.

Delano seeks GOP nod for town justice
By Michelle Kearns|Published Sat, Mar 20, 2010
Dennis Delano -- former Buffalo detective, defeated State Senate candidate and Republican-turned-Democrat -- is now aiming for the Republican endorsement for Cheektowaga town justice.
Town Justice James Vallone, a Democrat, is seeking re-election to a second four-year term in November and is likely to get his party's nod. Local Republicans are taking a deliberative approach to endorsement requests from both men. Before making a decision, they plan to host an informational meeting sometime this spring to hear their ideas.
"It really comes down to character of candidates, what kind of integrity that they'll bring to the courts," said John Redman, chairman of the town's Republican committee, which would like to consider Republican candidates as well. "It is still open to anyone else who is interested in endorsement."
Delano, 58, ran an unconventional and unsuccessful Republican campaign two years ago against State Sen. William Stachowski, D-Lake View. He skipped debates. "There was no need to debate him," Delano said of his opponent. "He was there for 26 years and hadn't done anything."
In the end, Delano lost by 7,200 votes. Last year, he switched parties for reasons that include campaign-related tensions with Republican leadership. "It's not the party, it's the person," he said. "Both parties have serious flaws."
The election was exhausting, Delano said, but it made him want to try for public office again. When he noticed that the town justice seat was expiring, he thought his experience as a detective -- including his work to exonerate two people who were wrongly convicted -- would help.
"I feel like it would be a good fit for me, having gone through what I've gone through," he said.
Before he retired as a Buffalo detective last year, Delano was known for angering his superiors by releasing evidence in a wrongful conviction. Eventually, Lynn DeJac was exonerated on charges related to her daughter's death.
"Our government doesn't seem to be as open as it should be," said Delano. If elected, he said he would like to "see what kind of positive effect I can have in the system."
Vallone, 52, noted that the Cheektowaga court often handles the initial stages of felony cases -- such as the plea and presentation of evidence -- but the bulk of its work is in criminal mischief, housing violations, small claims and traffic violations.
The town's two jurists are particularly busy because of crime related to the airport, the Walden Galleria and the Super Flea market.
"Cheektowaga is a flavoring of all the types of things that happen at a local court," said Vallone.
By his calculations, his own positive impact on the local judiciary includes his firm, compassionate approach and community service. A former Cheektowaga prosecutor, he was commended for his work with students in mock trials and appointed as a teacher of other local judges.
He is also proud that he has not had a single appeal of a small claims decision during his 3 1/2 years as town justice.
"People feel that they get a fair shake," he said.

As you may have heard, at the end of October Kate Magic held a talk and workshop here in Stockholm. It was a true pleasure for me to host Miss Magic, and a real honour to get to spend a few days with her.
We had a really good turn out with very high quality guests, and I really look forward to getting to know my new raw friends from the events.
Sneaking superfoods into your food is actually pretty easy when you get the inspiration. Maca, for example (a powder made from maca root that is a great energy booster and helps balance the body and hormones) is not very tasty on its own, but a little spoonful in a raw mayonnaise for example will bring some potent power without the taste.And I am sure that not many would disagree when I say that eating a little superfood-laced raw chocolate cake is a rather heavenly way to increase your nutrient intake! I believe it's just about getting into the habit of pimping up the nutrient content of your food with potent superfoods. The Raw Magic events and book really help you get into the habit!
When you need to boost your body and mind into overdrive without burning yourself out, raw food is really the premium choice. The week of Kate's visit was pretty intense (especially as I had been organizing everything while working full time on other projects) with late nights and early mornings, but I felt really focused, and each morning I woke up thanking the power of raw and superfoods that my energy levels were sustained despite missing meals and being on the go all the time.It can be easy to get used to the benefits of eating a high raw diet, and sometimes I take it for granted. When I compare how I felt during that week with previous times before I discovered raw food, when I used to work with organizing conferences, for example, having enough energy to actually enjoy the event rather than being burned out just from the organization is a true gift. My recovery after this intense period was also a lot quicker!
It's been three weeks since the Raw Magic events and I am happy to say that the magic remains, and my witchy intuition tells me that it's going to lead to some great things for many people.
Thanks to Hedvig for the great venue for the workshop and the lovely images!

Common knowledge I'm sure, but just adding the knowledge base here.
Door handles, locks, and switches removal. Step by step w/ pics!
1. First step is to pull the door panel. There are excellent guides elsewhere and it's almost self explanatory.
The question of "is it possible?" is asked on an every other day basis so that MUST mean there aren't enough threads on how it's done.
I did my research before beginning by reading Shooter83's and Bob the Great's threads. Probably some others but those are the ones that left an impression. Thanks to them I was much more comfortable cutting into my own car.
It is NOT a bolt in procedure, there is a LOT of cutting and welding.
I like pictures so there are a lot of them, some may be redundant but whatever. I tried taking as many as I could. I went through 4 HTC One's while doing this work since the tiny metal fragments got into the speaker and destroyed it. I even left the phone on the workbench while I was working on the car. I think I'm missing some pictures due to the backing up of each phone.
Drove from Detroit where I live to Springfield IL where I'm from and my dad still lives to use his truck and trailer to pick up the shell from Topeka KS. What a long weekend!
92 VR4 roller, no engine/ interior. Came with Brakes, suspension, body panels, rear subframe/dif, and a spare t-case. From our own TurboSinceBirth, Thanks man!
Here's my garage in its constant state of disarray. I usually have about twelve irons in the fire and can never seem to keep it clean. You'll notice some trim that is currently being stained for a house project.
Fun Fact: The Abarth (not mine) in these photos I just happened to bring home from work is the ACTUAL red 500 that was in one of the first commercials for the 500 where they all "swam" from Italy to the U.S.. I work for Chrysler and they wanted that exact color combo in the commercial so they shipped it over there, put different wheels on it, filmed and shipped it back. I can't make this up.
Stock subframe pulled from the car.
Taking some preliminary measurements, Taking pictures of them comes in handy when I forget where I wrote them down.
The purpose of this modification is to allow the larger 2nd gen rotors to be used on your first gen. Basically it's a $500 brake upgrade.

Since these are real food meal plans, and not dessert-centric at all, we decided that some Pumpkin-based breakfast recipes were in order.
Recipes like pumpkin pie overnight oats, and pumpkin breakfast custard will tickle your tastebuds, and they're not the only fall recipes in this month. Nope! We've got plenty and apple-cinnamon in there for ya too.

ADAURA: osimertinib demonstrates significant clinical benefit in adjuvant NSCLC therapy
The first interim results of the Phase III ADAURA study evaluating adjuvant osimertinib in stage IB-IIIA EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were presented at the plenary session during the ASCO 2020 virtual meeting. Osimertinib was shown to improve disease-free survival by 90% in patients with stage II-IIIA EGFR-mutant NSCLC (NCT02511106).
Osimertinib is a third generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that is already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of patients with metastatic EGFR 1790M mutation-positive NSCLC, based on results from the randomized, multicenter, open-label, AURA3 trial (NCT012151981).1 Osimertinib has shown greater efficacy compared to previous EGFR TKIs including erlotinib and gefitinib as evaluated in the FLAURA study (NCT02296125).2 Therefore, it is hoped that data from the ADAURA study will highlight the benefit of osimertinib in the adjuvant setting for NSCLC patients who have received complete surgical resection.
Patients (n = 682) with stage IB-IIIA NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletion or L858R mutations from the US, Asia and Europe were enrolled in the Phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial and randomized 1:1 to receive either osimertinib (n = 339) or placebo (n = 343) after complete surgical resection. The primary endpoint of the study was disease-free survival (DFS) after three years of treatment. The DFS hazard ratio for patients with stage II-IIIA disease reported at ASCO was 0.17 (95% CI 0.12, 0.23); p<0.0001 (156/470 events); 2-year DFS rate was 90% with osimertinib compared with 44% in patients treated with the placebo. The percentage of patients with a 2-year DFS was lower (79%; 196/682 events) in the overall population (stage IB-IIIA disease).
"In this analysis, these results are just better than we could ever expect. It's too early to really say much about survival, but as for disease-free survival, these patients have tremendous results when they are on osimertinib"
Lead investigator of the ADAURA study, Roy Herbst, MD, PhD, of the Yale Cancer Center, New Haven, CT
Furthermore, the drug was found to be well tolerated by patients, with typical grade 1 and 2 toxicities associated with EGFR inhibitor use, such as rash and diarrhea. Additionally, there were no deaths as a result of interstitial lung disease.
The results of the ADAURA study are promising, with a meaningful and significant clinical benefit in disease-free survival for EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients after complete tumor resection.

The science behind the news
Will Venice really disappear within 100 years?
Thu 18 Sep 2003 07.21 EDT First published on Thu 18 Sep 2003 07.21 EDT
If nothing is done to stop the encroaching sea, then yes. The problem that Venice faces is familiar to anyone living along the Thames estuary - the land is sinking while, thanks to global climate change, the sea is rising.
Flooding may well be a way of life for the Venetians but they do recognise that the situation is deteriorating. In 1900, the central area of the city around St Mark's square flooded around 10 times a year. Nowadays, that figure is closer to 100. Venice has sunk by around 20cm in the same time. And it's only going to get worse. Climatologists agree that global sea levels are likely to rise by up to 60cm by the end of the century, and this applies as much to the seas around Venice as to the big oceans. To try to address the problem, about 100 scientists met in Cambridge this week to work out what could be done to save the city. "It's a city that lies at sea level so it's very vulnerable to changes," says Caroline Fletcher, an environmental chemist and the Venice research fellow at Cambridge University, who is running the conference.
Without any action, she warns, the city will be uninhabitable by 2100. Fortunately, the Italian government has marked Venice as a priority for action and is trialling one possible solution. The city is at one end of a lagoon with three openings to the Adriatic sea. The Italian scientists are testing a mobile barrier that could move into place in these openings at high tide, thereby blocking out any surges of water during storms.
But predicting the tides over the next century is tricky. Fletcher says several groups are modelling the future weather patterns around the Mediterranean, but they know there is no guarantee of success. "There's definitely scientific uncertainty, but we're trying to synthesise a wealth of research that's gone on in Venice and come up with the state of knowledge because these systems are complex," she says. If Venice is to survive, Fletcher says, scientists must find a way to manage that uncertainty. And they'd better do it quickly.

The new iPhone 3GS is set to be delivered into the hands of UK users on the day of release after an online retailer began pre-orders.
Mobiles.co.uk is offering the phone on O2 contracts (obviously) from free for the 16GB version (on a 24 month tariff) to £274.23 for the 32GB iPhone 3GS on an 18 month deal.
The site has also promised that the phones will be dispatched on 18 June, but we assume that means they'll arrive bright and early the next day, as Apple won't let early iPhone 3GS's slip into the hands of consumers.
The Carphone Warehouse has said that it will be offering pre-orders as well, although it hasn't managed to do so at the time of publishing.
Not that it will matter in the grand scheme of online retailing, as The Carphone Warehouse actually owns Mobiles.co.uk anyway.
"Due to the short turnaround between announcement and the actual devices being on sale, we won't be offering any pre-order capability."
So expect long queues and tired eyes on the 19 June outside O2 stores up and down the country, although it will surely only be those that haven't currently got the iPhone 3G as upgrading is out of the question.

The Gilligan Manifesto
The Gilligan Manifesto (2018)
At the height of the Cold War, Gilligan's Island depicted seven Americans living in an analogue of a post-apocalyptic world where the survivors have to rebuild civilization. Remarkably, the society they create is pure communist. Interviews with the show's creator and some of the surviving actors, as well from professors from Harvard, reveal that Gilligan's Island was deliberately designed to be dismissed as low brow comedy in order to celebrate Marxism and lampoon Western democratic constructs.
Director: Cevin Soling
Actors: Dawn Wells, Rennie Davis, Russell Johnson, Sherwood Schwartz
