Reclaiming happiness of the city and the soul : Augustine's engagement with Cicero and Porphyry in the City of God.
The present dissertation argues that Augustine's City of God demonstrates the superiority of the Christian faith to pagan philosophy in the attainment of happiness and, ultimately, seeks to turn the Roman intellectuals to the Christian faith. The study investigates Augustine's correspondence with educated Romans and shows that the target audience of the City of God is primarily those who are interested in the Christian faith, yet under the sway of pagan philosophies and their criticisms of the Christian teachings. Since Cicero and Porphyry were the major philosophers who taught a way to happiness on socio-political and contemplative levels respectively, Augustine presents the Christian faith as the single way to the true commonwealth and the beatific vision which these two philosophers desired to achieve. In other words, he presents the Christian faith as completing the goal of pagan philosophy, especially the goal of Plato's philosophy: happiness on both the political and contemplative dimensions. The dissertation concludes that Augustine integrates these two main eudaemonistic components in Platonism through the City of God.The dissertation also claims that Augustine identifies Rome with Nineveh in the Book of Jonah, and that such re-conceptualization reflects the evangelistic attitude toward his contemporary intellectuals.


Topic: Is the EU Going to Topple?
Re: Is the EU Going to Topple?
The Poles don't want to have to be 'inclusive' of their 'slims, particularly on Christian holidays, so they've eliminated the problem population.
Merkel...that hairy-legged progeny of Stasi thugs!
The Poles, Czechs, Hungarians...they've had their fill of EuroTards, Muzzies and Socialists! They are our natural ally, the rest can go screw themselves!
And that spawn of Stasi filth is threatening the Poles with Article 7 for refusing to take in the rampaging murderous scum of Mohammad!
Germany is an empty shell...tell them to go ficken themselves!
Twas the week before Christmas and not a barrier in sight. Come to think of it, no Muslims in sight, either.
Ok, now yer jist braggin'.
Bragging would be mentioning that it was about 65 degrees during our stroll through Christmasland.
I'd say he has a duty to brag...especially about the lack of barriers and Satanic cultists!
...but the vile offspring of Stasi filth remains as Chancellor.
Pick on America all you want...but at least we only try to sanction our foreign enemies!
But hey, if we can pick up on this scheme I think Trump could have a sh*tload of fun! And, why not?!
From what I got from the Italians is that they were better off without the EU the population is not happy.
I would say that is a wise position, Brussels treats its member citizens as serfs, but there is a price to be paid for independence and not everybody will want to help share in the duty.
...alas, once the Swiss capitulated on their bank secrecy more "accomodations" would follow.
Ironic that tax revolts against carbon taxes erupting in France.
But they are #1 in taxes, and what should be cautionary tale for others...I am sure will be ignored by fellow socialist/statist travelers when votes on tax hikes come along.
Darth Macron approval is cratering.
Yellow vests demanding more, as I predicted in the G20 thread.
Talks of overthrowing the socialist/statist state warm my heart...but like the last one in 1789...the outcome may not be desirable. But, if it helps topple the EU beast my only concern is who has control of the nukes.
Statists still not taking them serious...will need to step it up. Prendre d'assaut tous les châteaux!
Last summer, some protests broke out after revelations that Macron installed a swimming pool in the building, costing around $40,000 to the taxpayers. The president justified the pool, claiming he and his wife don't want to be pictured by the photographers on the beach, the Sun reported.
He say that to people being crushed by taxes.
He loves his people...that's all that matters, eh?
My fav quote from that movie.
"Sir, the peasants are revolting!"
"You said it. They stink on ice. "


A group of Hollywood environmentalists are defending their intentions to create an anti-fracking film funded by oil interests in the Middle East after unwittingly participating in a James O'Keefe's latest sting.
In the video, O'Keefe's undercover journalist plays a character named "Muhammad," a member of a wealthy oil family in the Middle East who offers to fund a film to discourage fracking in the United States.
Actor Ed Begley, Jr. was joined by actress Mariel Hemingway and environmentalist film producers Josh and Rebecca Tickell who agreed to keep the sources of the funding secret.
Rebecca Tickell also defended their actions in the video.
Since O'Keefe released the video, the Tickells have launched a crowd funding campaign to help them make their anti-fracking film.
In a lengthy statement on his crowdfunding site, Tickell defended his intentions.
Tickel cited O'Keefe's sting as proof that the pro-fracking movement would stop at nothing to stop them from funding their film.

Bristol hit-skip leaves 2 seriously hurt; driver sought
by: Nadine Grimley
BRISTOL, Ohio (WKBN) – Troopers are trying to locate a pickup truck involved in a hit-skip crash in Bristol that left a husband and wife seriously hurt.
911 caller: "Please help us."
Crews called to rollover crash in Beaver Twp.
A desperate call for help from Dave Fisher, Jr. as he and his wife Leona Fisher were seriously hurt and lying on the road in Bristol after troopers say they were hit by a pickup truck.
Caller: "We need help bad, bad, bad, bad, bad."
Dispatcher: "OK."
Caller: "Bad."
Caller: "And the guy completely swerved right at us."
It was around 5:48 p.m. New Year's Eve when troopers say the Fishers were on their scooters headed north in the southbound lanes of Corey Hunt Road when a pickup truck headed south hit them and took off.
The Fishers suffered multiple broken bones and internal injuries. Troopers say Leona remains in critical condition while Dave is stable.
"Often there's plenty of evidence out there it helps us but this time we're hoping and we're relying that the public's gonna help us this time solve this crash," said Lt. Brian Vail, Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Troopers are asking for the public's help in finding a 2011-2013 Ford F-150 with front-end damage. Vehicle parts left behind at the scene helped troopers trace the truck's make and model.
"We do not have a color. We don't have a license plate at this time," Vail said.
Investigators are now hoping somebody knows the location of the truck and who was driving it.
"They had family and wouldn't you want to know a conclusion to what happened if one of your families was involved in such a serious crash like this?" Vail asked.

Apache Flume is an open-source project to assist Hadoop users to ingest data into HDFS. It provides a reliable mechanism for sending raw data into HDFS to be used by the Hadoop cluster. Many new users of Hadoop often ask, "How can I get my data into HDFS for me to begin taking advantage of it?" As a result, a Flume node within the Hadoop cluster is a good first step.
There is a white paper, written by VMware, that describes how to include an Apache Flume node within a BDE-deployed Hadoop cluster. The steps and use-case described in the white paper are quite adequate for deploying a node that can be made available to the cluster. However, as I began thinking about how to offer this as part of a Hadoop-as-a-Service offering, I realized that the ability to deploy a Flume node through BDE needed to happen at the time of deployment — not afterwards. I certainly did not want to have to go through many of the manual steps to configure Flume when all of that information is available to BDE at the time of the cluster deployment.
In order to accommodate the added piece of automation, it is necessary to add the functionality to the BDE management server itself. The steps themselves are not overly complicated, but unless you are already a contributor to the open-source Serengeti, you will likely find yourself painstakingly working through the bits like I did over the past week.
Download the Apache Flume packages to the management server.
Update the distro map file to include a new role called 'flume_client'.
For the Hadoop distribution of your choosing, update the JSON specification file.
Restart the tomcat service on the management server.
At this point you'd think that things would be all setup and all that would be needed was to add a few Chef recipes for the new node. Sadly that is not the case. I will be covering the rest of the configuration in Part 2.

In London, hundreds of thousands demand another chance to vote on Brexit

A massive protest was held as lawmakers voted to ask the EU for a Brexit delay.
As Parliament met in London Saturday morning and voted to force a Brexit delay, hundreds of thousands of anti-Brexit protesters marched in the city's streets demanding citizens be given a second chance at deciding whether to leave the European Union.
The massive crowds moved through the city towards Parliament in a festive and defiant demonstration of frustration with the country's impending break with the EU, the New York Times reported. Organizers of the effort told the Times they expected more than a million demonstrators, which would make it one of the largest protests Britain has ever had.
The demonstrators were joined by a host of current and former politicians, as well as celebrities, who addressed the crowd. In his speech, former Conservative deputy prime minister Michael Heseltine said Brexit represents "a creeping paralysis, where yesterday's nostalgia distorts tomorrow's opportunities."
"The very existence of our United Kingdom now hangs by a thread," he said. "Brexit will not bring us together. It is the wedge that will drive us apart."
The protestors gathered to call for a second referendum on Brexit; the first referendum in 2016 saw the United Kingdom voting to leave the European Union. That popular vote has set off years of debate over how to exit the union, and whether citizens ought to reconsider staying in.
Proponents of the separation argued it would bring more financial freedom and allow for more control over the nation's borders. Opponents have argued Brexit will create economic instability, including possible food shortages and skyrocketing import costs.
.@campbellclaret borrowed an Independent microphone for the day and has been asking protesters at the #PeoplesVoteMarch why they're fighting for a #FinalSay vote pic.twitter.com/RmD0tU5OKX
— The Independent (@Independent) October 19, 2019
While that's a possibility, British lawmakers are dealing with a short-term political crisis first. On Saturday, Parliament approved a measure that will force Prime Minister Boris Johnson to ask the EU for a delay on the current October 31 deadline to leave. He's ardently said he won't, and he has until 11 pm local time Saturday to formally ask European leaders for that extension. Even if Johnson complies with the measure, there still could be no extension: All 27 EU leaders have to approve any change to the exit deadline, and it isn't clear that will happen.
Also at issue is the fact Johnson and the EU have at last reached a mutually agreeable deal on how the UK will leave, but the prime minister has not yet convinced lawmakers to support his plan, something that has in the years past been a lot easier said than done.
That's why protesters outside Parliament cheered the vote to delay the official exit; a delay places some safeguards on Johnson's exit plan, and could give the kingdom time to implement a second vote on whether to leave or remain.
How a second referendum vote would work — and whether it would make a difference
Advocates for another referendum argue that voters didn't fully understand the consequences of leaving the EU when they voted to do so in 2016. For example, proponents of leaving said it would strengthen the country's economic prowess, but those in favor of remaining argue there is growing evidence to suggest the UK will be a lesser economic force outside of the EU.
Now that there have been years of public discourse around Brexit, those in favor of a second referendum argue the temperature of the kingdom must be taken a second time to ensure the majority of voters still want to strike off on their own.
"In a democracy there is a fundamental question: Do we have the right to change our minds?" said Hilary Benn, a member of Parliament's Labour party, said to the demonstrators, the Independent reported. "I know that a confirmatory referendum will put it back to the people and we will get a decision."
Opponents of another referendum, including Johnson and former Prime Minister Theresa May, have argued the public already voted on it in 2016 and that it would be "undemocratic" to stage another vote, Vox's Jen Kirby has reported.
It's estimated it would take at least 22 weeks to hold another vote on Brexit, which has been one problem for proponents pushing the option. But if the EU approves another extension past the current October 31 exit deadline, needing 22 weeks may no longer be a problem.
Even in the unlikely event another referendum is held, what question would be posed to voters is another issue facing proponents of a second vote, Kirby reported:
Should it be a clean 2016 do-over? A Brexit deal versus Remain? Should there be multiple options, including the offer of a "no-deal Brexit"? Or will this risk splitting the vote, offering an outcome that no one really wants?
Parliament would have to vote to allow another referendum, and it's not clear whether there's enough support to make it happen. In April, a push to allow another public vote lost by 12 votes. It's also unclear whether a new vote, if it did happen, would yield different results. Some polls have shown a new vote would lead to the UK remaining in the EU, and some say the opposite. All pollsters agree, however, that a second referendum — like the first — would be close.
With the prime minister's opposition to such a move, questions about its support in Parliament, and even the issue of time, there are many barriers to a second referendum, despite so many demonstrators speaking out for one Saturday. But the current most pressing Brexit question — whether the UK will be able to extend its exit deadline past October 31 — may soon be answered.

On Monday 4th March 2019 we had a visit from the Northampton Trustee Fund – the charity we will be supporting in Key Stage 1.
The charity is run by two teachers that visit a village called Penyem in The Gambia where they have set up a school and medical centre to help the children and families of this area. If you would like more information please visit the following website www.northamptontrusteefund.co.uk.
We have decided to support them by collecting small change, for example 1p's and 2p's as well as old and new pencil cases with small amounts of stationary inside.
They will be visiting our school again just after Easter so it would we lovely if we could have your donations ready for this time.
The Northampton Trustee Fund will be returning to school to update us on how your giving has made a difference in Penyem.
Please could any kind donations be in school by Friday 5th April 2019.

We describe a hybrid Lyapunov solver based on the matrix sign function, where the intensive parts of the computation are accelerated using a graphics processor (GPU) while executing the remaining operations on a general-purpose multi-core processor (CPU). The initial stage of the iteration operates in single-precision arithmetic, returning a low-rank factor of an approximate solution. As the main computation in this stage consists of explicit matrix inversions, we suggest a hybrid implementation of Gauß-Jordan elimination using look-ahead to overlap computations on GPU and CPU.To improve the approximate solution, we introduce an iterative refinement procedure that allows to cheaply recover full double-precision accuracy. In contrast to earlier approaches to iterative refinement for Lyapunov equations, this approach retains the low-rank factorization structure of the approximate solution. The combination of the two stages results in a mixed-precision algorithm, that exploits the capabilities of both general-purpose CPUs and many-core GPUs and overlaps critical computations. Numerical experiments using real-world data and a platform equipped with two INTEL Xeon QuadCore processors and an NVIDIA Tesla C1060 show a significant efficiency gain of the hybrid method compared to a classical CPU implementation.

Q: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'isElementPresent' of undefined I'm working on some QE tests using node.js, selenium-webdriver, mocha, and chai.
I'm creating UI tests and ran into a problem with my tests failing.
This is the error I am getting:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'isElementPresent' of undefined
      at test/admin/users/add_user/org_admin_adds_new_users_positive.js:65:29
      at node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/webdriver/webdriver.js:720:12

I don't understand what I am doing wrong. All the methods I created in my page objects work correctly. I can even see firefox run the tests and adding the organizations correctly so I know I am properly using selenium-webdriver (well most of it).
The logic of my tests are: 1) adding a organization through a modal window 2) verify that we have correctly added an organization by testing to see if an element that was on the previous screen is now visible.
I run my tests headlessly and I have some issues with the server we are using so I thought by introducing the wait method would fix my issues and fragile tests.
Here is the link to the method I am trying to use:
http://selenium.googlecode.com/git/docs/api/javascript/class_webdriver_WebDriver.html#wait
I'm basically tweaking the this answer to a SO Q for my own purpose:
Selenium WebDriver wait till element is displayed
turning it to this:
this.driver.wait(function() {

As I stated above I believe I am using and referencing selenium-webdriver correctly, the docs are kinda confusing because they don't provide actual examples and I'm still somewhat new using testing frameworks.
Is there something I am missing?
tl:dr version:
I believe I'm referencing selenium-webdriver correctly for this function:
this.driver.wait(function() {
  return this.driver.isElementPresent(By.css('div.AppBar'));
}, 10000);

but I still get the error
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'isElementPresent' of undefined
          at test/admin/users/add_user/org_admin_adds_new_users_positive.js:65:29
          at node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/webdriver/webdriver.js:720:12

A: Try, return this.isElementPresent(By.css('div.AppBar'));

A: I might be wrong, since I don't code Selenium using Node.js, but I would guess that the .isElementPresent method only makes sense operating on a Element instance and not the driver instance itself.
In other words, I would guess this would make more sense:
this.driver.findElement(By.css('div.AppBar')).isElementPresent()

If I am wrong, excuse me. The nature of your question makes me have to take a guess.

We've all heard beauty comes from within, but sometimes it can feel hard to believe. But new research from the University of New York has found that beauty is not an aesthetic but a feeling. Therefore it doesn't matter how much or great your jeans look, your beauty will radiate from the inside out.
The report has been published in the scientific journal Current Biology, and suggest that beauty is a state of mind or a feeling opposed to how you look. Ani Ferlise, a Reiki master and founder of the subscription box Kozmic Ryder, who was not involved in the research couldn't agree more.
She uses the example of getting dressed to music in the morning, if you looked at your outfit after listening to a great song that makes you feel good, you would like your outfit considerably more. Proving the point that beauty is more of an internal feeling that then comes out.
Beauty is something that can be achieved every day, and you just need to feel that emotion, and here are a few ways how to do that.
1. Take time to meditate.
This is very important, give yourself a set time of the day and focus on your breaths. According to Robert Glatter, M.D., an assistant professor of emergency medicine at Lenox Hill Hospital, "an ideal way to engage ourselves daily in building emotional stability and an inner sense of pleasure." Therefore you will become more intact with your emotions and be able to identify the emotion of beauty.
Painting or drawing can create a sense of self-confidence, and instantly will make yourself feel great about you! This is perfect for radiating beauty when you feel confident about yourself, it projects to others.
3. Live an authentic life.
Dr Seuss once said, "Today you are you, and that is truer than true. There is no one alive that is youer than you." Living life authentically starts with being self-aware, this means taking what you feel into account yet not ignoring it. Be true to your feelings, beliefs and, and this will beam beauty to the people around you.

Jaizec Lottie stars for Flagler in breakthrough win at UNF
Clayton Freeman
It took 47 years for Flagler College to beat an NCAA Division I men's basketball team for the first time.
Jaizec Lottie made sure they needed just 17 days to win another.
With a near-record outing just a few miles from home, the St. Augustine school toppled the University of North Florida 73-66 in Saturday afternoon's game at UNF Arena.
"When a guy goes out there and makes those kinds of plays, it gives you a chance to do something special," Flagler head coach Chad Warner said. "He certainly did that tonight."
UNF-Flagler box score
At the center of everything was Lottie, the 6-2 senior guard from Aurora, Colo., a slick-shooting, quick-dribbling forward whose night is bound to go down in Saints lore.
Too fast. Too accurate. Too smart.
"The thing about him that makes him so difficult is the fact that he's not afraid to pass, either," UNF head coach Matthew Driscoll said. "He gets four assists, no turnovers... He took 24 shots and he probably took 24 right shots, too. But he also made some nice dimes, made some nice dishes as well again. He's a mid-major guard."
The senior guard came through down the stretch, hitting the go-ahead layup to put Flagler in front 65-63 with 2:22 remaining, and set up Jalen Barr for the thunderous dunk to stretch the lead to two scores with 23 seconds remaining.
The victory was the latest milestone of the season for Flagler, which beat Central Michigan 92-73 on Dec. 2 for the first victory over an NCAA Division I foe in program history.
Meanwhile, UNF suffered the first loss to a non-Division I team during Driscoll's 12-year tenure.
"They hit us," UNF guard Jose Placer said, "and we didn't hit back."
At least not enough to match the pace of Lottie, whose 36-point night tied for second on Flagler's single-game list from its Division II era. John Pietkiewicz holds that mark, scoring 41 on Feb. 5, 2011 against UNC-Pembroke.
Against an Ospreys team missing preseason All-ASUN forward Carter Hendricksen, sidelined for the past two and a half weeks with a foot injury, Lottie found space for dribble penetration repeatedly.
Even though his shooting hand cooled off a bit after halftime, he still finished 13 of 24 from the field. Barr added 10 points for the Saints, while Derrick Ellis Jr. and freshman Spencer Bain tallied nine apiece.
Flagler also exploited 15 Osprey turnovers to win the first meeting of Duval and St. Johns schools since Nov. 26, 2002, when the Saints came out on top 100-93.
"You look at the kind of pressure with smaller guards they were able to put on us, I thought they made us uncomfortable," Driscoll said.
The Saints gave UNF plenty of problems from the start.
Lottie had entered the game with an average of 24.5 points per game and nearly reached that by halftime, tallying 20 points by slicing through the Ospreys (1-8) or shooting over the top of them.
Fueled by three quick Placer 3-pointers coming out of the locker room at halftime, UNF closed the gap to 45-44, but Flagler allowed them to draw no closer and a 3-pointer from freshman Spencer Bain stretched the lead back to eight.
But UNF narrowed the gap on 3-pointers from Emmanuel Adedoyin and Jacob Crews, knotting the score 63-63 on Placer's layup with 4:22 to go.
Then Lottie, Barr and the Saints pulled away down the stretch.
The game is the last for the Saints (2-1) before beginning their Peach Belt Conference schedule on Jan. 6 against North Georgia in Dahlonega, Ga.
The Ospreys take on their second local opponent in a 50-hour span when they meet Edward Waters at UNF Arena at 7 p.m. Monday.
"Their aggressiveness, their ability, their want-to was much greater than ours... I've got to figure out how to right this ship," Driscoll said.

New York Times calls for more gun regulation in first Page 1 editorial in 95 years

NEW YORK, N.Y. - The New York Times is using space on its front page to call for greater gun regulation in the wake of recent deadly mass shootings.
Publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. says the newspaper is running its first Page 1 editorial since 1920 on Saturday to "deliver a strong and visible statement of frustration and anguish about our country's inability to come to terms with the scourge of guns."
The Times' editorial suggests drastically reducing the number of firearms and even "eliminating some large categories of weapons and ammunition."
The editorial comes after three people were fatally shot at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado, last week and 14 people were killed in a shooting Wednesday at a social services centre in San Bernardino, California.

Starting your car, you hear loud noises and rattling coming from your muffler. Maybe you notice the pungent smell of exhaust. These are symptoms of an ailing exhaust system. Not only are these symptoms annoying, but they can significantly impact the efficiency of your vehicle. If you notice any of these changes, bring your vehicle to Virginia Tire & Auto today and we can give you the help you need.
What makes the exhaust system important?
The exhaust system is responsible for moving harmful fumes out of your vehicle after engine combustion. It also filters those exhaust fumes for pollution, reducing the amount of harmful compounds that are released into the atmosphere. As you drive, your car's engine burns fuel and powers the vehicle. Once that fuel is used, it leaves exhaust gases that need to be filtered and expelled from the vehicle. These exhaust gases flow out of the engine to the catalytic converter. The catalytic converter has chemicals inside of it that convert particles of the exhaust gases to a less harmful gas. This is helpful for reducing carbon emissions, and it makes cars more environmentally friendly.
When the exhaust system functions correctly, it keeps your car safe and running efficiently. Your car has sensors built into the exhaust system which measure the fuel burn in your engine. These sensors communicate with the other components in your engine to ensure the best fuel-to-air ratio, which gives you the best fuel economy. This allows your gas mileage to stay down and your fill-ups at the gas pump to last longer.
Whether you are preparing for your biennial Virginia Emissions Inspection or are experiencing the sounds and smells of an exhaust system problem, the ASE-certified technicians at Virginia Tire & Auto are highly trained in inspecting and repairing exhaust systems.
Before taking your vehicle for a Virginia State Inspection, we advise you to visually check the following items on your vehicle to save you time and hassle.
Need exhaust repair? Our ASE certified technicians can repair any make and model of vehicle. Save on exhaust repair with this coupon.

You wouldn't be faulted for thinking that upcoming FPS Call of Duty: WWII came about due to the recent political climate here in the U.S. But according to Sledgehammer co-founder Michael Condrey, that wasn't the intentional and, due to unforeseen circumstances, the upcoming CoD's message might be more important than ever.
Michael Condrey recently had a chat with the folks at Gamespot, discussing the latest Call of Duty game, its story and the motivations behind it. In the game, players will take a whirlwind tour of Nazi Germany on a quest to save a captured comrade and help bring about the end of a reign of power that was built on the principals of hatred and white supremacy. As Codrey reminds, the team at Sledgehammer started working on this latest Call of Duty three years ago, before we had even an inkling that those very same themes would pop up once again here in the United States. For that reason and more, Condrey said it's important that we keep telling the story of World War II and why so many people were willing to give their lives for a noble cause.
I also think [this subject] is still as important today as when we started three years ago. It's telling the story so it doesn't happen again, that is important. Telling the story because the people that went to fight for our cause are no longer telling it, that's still important.
From the gaming side of things, it was simply time to leave behind the era of Modern Warfare and return to the boots on the ground campaigns of previous generations. Call of Duty left that era behind about a decade ago and, at the time, folks had had their fill of shooters set during World War II. Last year, Battlefield 1 set the stage for this journey back to the past and, after Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare enjoyed a pretty lackluster reception that same year, the stage seemed set for Call of Duty to follow suit.
From the player side of things, folks seem most excited to return to those familiar battles with familiar weaponry in hand. Just like they got tired of World War II games back in the day, they've grown weary of the space-age combat that's been the norm now for several years.
And while Sledgehammer seems happy to provide those things, it's nice to hear that they are putting just as much time and attention into telling the game's story. And now seems like a good time to remind us why, exactly, the world fought against injustice in the first place.


This letter is in response to the article published Sept. 20 regarding the jobless rate decline.
As an almost lifelong Burbank resident, I suspect these rates are pure propaganda. I'm a human resources professional with more than a decade of experience who has been out of work since April. I've applied to jobs in Burbank, including the studios, hospitals, credit unions, the city and more. I've applied through job postings, networking and by submitting resumes to companies even when jobs aren't posted. In five months the only interview I've received in Burbank was through the city, which proved to be a bureaucratic joke.
I've reached the point where I've expanded my search outside "the bubble," going as far afield as San Diego and Ventura counties. I've had more interviews in those counties than in my own city. It's more than a coincidence. I question these rates and feel they're failing to account for those who've run out of unemployment benefits. Perhaps many have accepted McJobs out of desperation. These factors result in inaccurate figures.
Burbank has a reputation of puffing its chest out, proclaiming it's so great for business and those that want to work here. In my opinion, other problems are the city's elitist and clique mentality which makes it unreasonably difficult to find work here. It disgusts me that essentially I'm being pushed out of my own city. I have a gut feeling the job I find will be outside Burbank, and when I find it, I'll gladly say good riddance to Burbank.

Home » TV » A.P. Bio Renewed at Peacock
12/17/2020 TV
Peacock is adding another semester of A.P. Bio to its course load, renewing the Glenn Howerton-led comedy for a fourth season, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Season 4 will consist of eight episodes and debut next year on the streamer.
"Everyone involved is so excited to do more episodes," series creator/showrunner Mike O'Brien said in a statement. "We're so thankful to Peacock and everyone who watched! Season 3 was the most fun we've had. I want to dig even deeper into the main characters and also keep messing with the sitcom format."
A.P. Bio stars Howerton (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) as former college professor Jack Griffin, who lost out on his dream job and is forced to teach high school biology instead. Patton Oswalt co-stars as school principal Ralph Durbin, and Paula Pell plays Durbin's secretary Helen, with Lyric Lewis, Mary Sohn, and Jean Villepique playing Jack's fellow teachers.
This marks Peacock's first renewal of an original scripted series, following the streaming service's July debut. (Scripted drama Brave New World was scrapped after a single season.) A.P. Bio started out on NBC, running for two seasons there before getting the axe last year. It was resurrected soon after, though, by Peacock, with all eight Season 3 episodes premiering in September.
TVLine's Streaming Scorecard has been updated to reflect the news. Are you excited to enroll in more A.P. Bio? Drop your thoughts on the renewal in a comment below.

Cardiff City vs Fulham Preview | Team News, Key Players & Stats
EPL Index > Cardiff > Cardiff City vs Fulham Preview | Team News, Key Players & Stats
Cardiff and Fulham meet on Saturday in a huge bottom of the table clash, which could leave one of the sides staring down the barrel, at the inevitably of relegation. With the three sides above them having games in hand, these two teams who sit 19th and 20th in the league will be desperate for a rare three points, which will do nothing but help their cause to stay in England's top division.
Cardiff have won only one of their last 12 games and have picked up 5 points out of the last 36 available. Sitting in 19th, with only one point separating them and Saturday's opponents, Cardiff will look to this match as a must win with the likes of Everton and Liverpool to play in the coming weeks. They will hope to avoid the type of performance which saw them lose 4-0 at home to Hull City a few weeks ago.
Fulham lost at home to Chelsea in Felix Magath's second match in charge of The Cottagers. Their third manager of the season has taken over a difficult task to save the London side from relegation, with Fulham currently rock bottom. Fulham's last win came on New Year's Day against West Ham, but they have lost six out of their eight matches since. Fulham will need at least a point from this game to have any hope of Premier League survival this season.
Cardiff were victorious on their visit to Craven Cottage earlier in the season. A 90th minute winner courtesy of Jordan Mutch gave the Welsh side a 2-1 win after Ruiz and Caulker had scored in the first half.
Cardiff are without Craig Noone and Andrew Taylor who are suffering for knocks. Captain Mark Hudson is also out with a hamstring injury. Medel and Mutch are likely to feature having returned from injuries last week.
Record signing Kostas Mitroglou has yet to feature for Fulham but having played an hour for Greece in midweek, he may play a part in this league fixture. Fulham are also without Kvist (hamstring), Hangeland (head) and Briggs (groin). Amorebieta and Duff will also miss out.
Possible Line-Ups
Fulham have not kept a clean sheet in their last 13 away matches in the Premier League.
Cardiff have failed to score in four of their last six Premier League home games.
Cardiff are the only team in the Premier League that are yet to give away or win a penalty kick this season.
4 of the last 5 matches between these two sides have ended with a 2-1 score line.
Cardiff have scored the joint least goals in the league this season whilst Fulham have conceded the most.
Cardiff: Jordan Mutch
In the last meeting between the two teams Jordan Mutch proved to be the difference with his crucial 90th minute winner for Cardiff. The young English midfielder will hope to play a big part in this match having just returned from injury. Mutch has notched 4 goals with an average of a shot every 50 mins and a shooting accuracy of 50%. So far Mutch has created 16 chances with three assists to his name. He has been one of the better performers in what has been a turbulent season for the Bluebirds, but a good display against Fulham will do his popularity and the team no harm.
Fulham: Steve Sidwell
There is not much argument that Steve Sidwell has been Fulham's best player this season and he will have to play like he has done all season in the next few games to help them get out of the relegation battle. Sidwell has been at the heart of the Fulham team defensively, and also with his attacking as well. He has helped out his defenders on numerous occasions and has managed to make the most tackles in his team by doing so with 83 tackles and 80% of them being accurate, as well as making 72 interceptions along the way. Sidwell remains Fulham's top scorer this season with 6 goals, which shows how well-rounded his performances have been.
It's hard to say which team will come out of the game with the three points after poor results of late for both teams. I'm not going to sit on the fence for this one so I'm predicting an away win, with Fulham's midfield proving too much for the Welsh side.

EPL Prediction Model: Liverpool, Chelsea, City to Win, Arsenal to Lose
The model came very close to a fantastic weekend last week but fell short, and in the end was fairly disappointing. Going firmly against the bookies, we'd predicted Manchester City to lose to Arsenal and Crystal Palace to get a draw against Chelsea. Man City and Chelsea both failed to win, but unfortunately we had the loss and the draw the wrong way around. West Brom were predicted to win against Cardiff and were 2-0 up, then back to 2-2, …
EPL Prediction Model: Arsenal, Chelsea to win, Liverpool to beat City
Last week saw some satisfying predictions on Sunday, as Everton ran out comfortable winners at home to Arsenal - in line with the model's forecasts - and Liverpool won away at West Ham. Saturday was close to a great result, with the three clear favourites winning, but Hull vs. Swansea and Norwich vs. West Brom both finished 1-0 and scuppered our calls of draws. This week, we've got nine games up to Tuesday night and then another couple on Wednesday. …
Prediction Model: Week 28 | Liverpool and Chelsea to win, Arsenal to lose!
It's a prediction model update without the usual preamble this week. The @data_monkey household has gained a new member and although he shares a first name with Leo Messi, he doesn't share his enthusiasm for football. Or my enthusiasm for football stats. (Yet). The model's fairly quick to update so I'll keep posting predictions here each week, but detailed discussion of the forecasts and past performances might be a bit thin on the ground for a few weeks. Normal service …
Prediction Model | Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd to win (inc. FA Cup)
Last week was a strange one. Overall we finished fourteen percent up at the bookies by betting the same stake on each game, but only three results were called correctly out of the weekend's eight games. We kicked off with a cracking Saturday, successfully predicting wins for Stoke at home to Arsenal, Liverpool away at Southampton and Chelsea away at Fulham. Then things were looking good on Sunday for a Swansea win and possibly for Cardiff to grab their predicted …
Prediction Model: Liverpool, Chelsea & City to win, Arsenal draw
Only four games to go and after a decent weekend, the model struggled in mid-week. Few people would have foreseen Manchester City failing to beat Sunderland and the EPL Model didn't either. I'd warned that the model in its current form can't adjust well to the huge changes in Pulis' Crystal Palace and that proved to be the case against Everton, giving us two wrong calls on Wednesday night. This week, we've got the usual predictions and then just for …

Q: How to exclude the /command from message_handler in the dispatcher of Aiogram? I've a message handler that respond to a command in a Bot application written in python3 with the library Aiogram.
I can receive from the application the message I send to the BOT, but I would like to exclude the command (via config possibly, not parsing the string). Maybe it is in the documentation, but currently I could not find the answer.
To be clear with an example, if I type to my TelegramBot
/my_command text

where this is my code in the python3 application
@dispatcher.message_handler(commands=['my_command'])
async def echo(message: types.Message):

I would like to receive from the message_handler in the message types.Message variable the string text and not /my_command text.
Thanks a lot

A: The function to extract only the arguments of a command is get_args():
@dispatcher.message_handler(commands=['my_command'])
async def echo(message: types.Message):
    arguments = message.get_args()
    await message.reply(arguments)

Winchester Joins Ed-Funding Lawsuit Against State
By Sarah Gibson • Mar 26, 2019
Winchester Elementary School
Credit Winchester School District
The Winchester School District is joining a school funding lawsuit against the state. Winchester, which is located in the southwest corner of New Hampshire, is the third district that's party to the lawsuit, brought earlier this month by the ConVal School Board.
The ConVal lawsuit claims the state is not meeting its constitutional obligation to pay for an adequate education and that it has downshifted these costs to local taxpayers.
Both the Winchester and the Monadnock School Boards voted last week to join the lawsuit, and Winchester is now an official plaintiff alongside ConVal.
Winchester has its own K-8 school with around 430 students, and it pays Keene High School tuition for its high-schoolers.
Winchester School Board chair Lindseigh Picard says this costs Winchester a lot of money - in the case of their 36 high school special ed students, tuition to Keene is over $30,000 a year for each student.
In the lawsuit, Winchester says the state isn't covering enough of that cost and it asks for over $4 million by April 1.
Picard says the board has been discussing a possible lawsuit for over a year but was concerned about legal costs. ConVal, a much larger district, is footing most of the bill, and Winchester has agreed to pitch in $15,000.

Looking for a possible MarCad, Does anyone remeber him?
Does anyone have information on a Gary A Wise, possible MarCad from a PreFlight Class possibly 1964, Wings and Commission possible Spring of 1966 at Ellyson?
Any and all information appreciated.
Re: Looking for a possible MarCad, Does anyone remeber him?
Are you looking for "wings" Wise?
Do not remember his first name. He was just starting at Ellyson when I graduated on March 1, 1966. Tall, skinny, "young" looking!!!
I was at New River until January 1967 with a long Carib cruise thrown in. I lost track of him about that time.
Do not remember his sea story until I checked into Ellyson in April 1968 and saw the "x-ray" in the O-club.
Saw something on the web once about the "x-ray" is at the Whiting Field O-club. Wonder whatever happened to Roger Harrell's oil portrait that was in the new Ellyson O-club entrance area.
I always wondered about his name not showing up on your list. Just another missing face.
Another name you are missing is Tom Gehrke. He was in HMM-264 at New River when I checked in. Lost track of him in Nam, but exchanged an e-mail with him in the mid-90's. He was flying medevac in Ohio, I believe. Had some movie credits as a helicopter pilot and flew for PHI (?).
Re: Looking for a possible MarCad, Found!
Thanks Wayne and to others that emailed. Yes Brian A Wise is also known as "Wings" Wise and after a nice long phone conversation we determined that he was most likely in Class 45 1964. If anyone from his PreFlight class has better information please contact me. He is pretty sure he has the Class picture on the steps of the barracks and is going to try and send me a copy.... we will find out who else was in his class. We have found our missing MarCad.
Does anyone remember why they called Brian Wise "Wings"?
I don't have a clue about his nickname of Wings, but I did find him. He lives in FL.

Herath thwarts Aussies after Smith, Marsh tons
Monday August 15, 2016 17:38
COLOMBO, Aug 15 (Reuters) – Steven Smith and Shaun Marsh hit centuries, but Sri Lankan spinner Rangana Herath picked up six wickets to restrict Australia's first-innings lead to 24 runs on the third day of the third and final test on Monday.
Captain Smith made 119 and opening batsman Marsh struck 130 as the touring side were all out for 379 in reply to Sri Lanka's total of 355.
The 38-year-old Herath continued tormenting Australia with left-arm spin, taking his series tally to 21 wickets.
The hosts, 2-0 up in the series, then lost nightwatchman Dilruwan Perera (eight) leg before to paceman Mitchell Starc as they reached 22 for 1 in their second innings at stumps.
Dimuth Karunaratne (eight) dropped on one by wicketkeeper Peter Nevill off Nathan Lyon, and Kaushal Silva (six) was the not-out batsman.
Resuming on 141-1, Smith and Marsh kept Sri Lanka wicketless through the morning session, but both fell in the space of three overs after the new ball was taken after lunch.
The pair added 246 for the second wicket.
Marsh, playing his 18th test after a seven-month absence, was the first to get to his hundred, his fourth in tests, with a paddle sweep off Dilruwan Perera that went to the boundary.
The 33-year-old, replacing opener Joe Burns in this match, was dropped on 64 and 121. He was finally out when he chopped seamer Suranga Lakmal on to his stumps.
Smith used his feet brilliantly against the spinners and brought up his 15th test hundred with an on-driven single off Perera.
The right-hander was stumped smartly by wicketkeeper Kusal Perera off Herath who also dismissed all-rounder Moises Henriques (four) in a similar fashion.
Mitchell Marsh (53) notched his second half-century in tests before becoming another of Herath's victims. Off-spinner Perera also picked up two wickets.

Meet the New Faces of 'The Chi' Season 5
By Dan Clarendon
Jun. 26 2022, Published 1:37 p.m. ET
The Chi returns for its fifth season tonight, Sunday, June 26, at 9 p.m. ET on Showtime. And if you tune into Season 5, you'll see new faces joining the mix!
Showtime calls The Chi "a timely coming-of-age story centering on a group of residents on the South Side of Chicago who become linked by coincidence but bonded by the need for connection and redemption."
And Season 5 "delves deeply into the many joys and complications of Black love: relationships, children, career, community, and self."
Alongside returning cast members Jacob Latimore, Alex Hibbert, Yolonda Ross, Shamon Brown Jr., Michael V. Epps, Birgundi Baker, Luke James, and Curtiss Cook, Season 5 will see Kandi Burruss, La La Anthony, Jason Weaver, and Iman Shumpert return as guest stars.
But Showtime has also revealed some of the new characters fans will see in the fifth season. Read on, if you don't mind a few minor The Chi spoilers.
Nia Jervier plays Tierra, Douda's god-niece.
According to Showtime, Nia Jervier is playing Tierra, "the poised, polished and driven god-niece of Douda (Curtiss Cook), whom he recruits for a rebranding effort."
You may recognize Nia from the 2014 film Dear White People or its 2017 TV spinoff of the same name. In the latter project, which streamed four seasons on Netflix, Nia played Kelsey, a "gold star" lesbian college student.
Later, Nia appeared in the BET series Twenties, another TV show created by The Chi mastermind Lena Waithe. This February, when her casting on The Chi made headlines, Nia thanked Lena, her "fairy god-sister," on Instagram for "seeing and celebrating this eccentric unicorn."
Carolyn Michelle Smith plays Deja, Shaad's new love interest.
A post shared by Carolyn Michelle Smith (@that_carolynmichelle)
Carolyn Michelle Smith plays Deja, described as "a new love interest for Shaad (Jason Weaver) who helps him level up in more ways than one."
After taking guest-starring roles in How to Get Away With Murder, Luke Cage, and Code Black, Carolyn recurred in the Netflix shows House of Cards and Russian Doll, appearing in three episodes apiece. In the former, she played Willa, chief of staff for Claire Underwood (Robin Wright). And in the latter, she plays Agnes, grandmother of Alan (Charlie Barnett).
L'lerrét Jazelle plays hard-hitting journalist Fatima.
A post shared by L'lerrét Jazelle (@thebaejazelle)
An actor on the rise, L'lerrét Jazelle portrays Fatima in The Chi's fifth season. Showtime explains that the character is "a local journalist who wants the best for her neighborhood and isn't afraid to hold politicians' feet to the fire to get the truth."
L'lerrét has a few TV credits to her name: She guest-starred on the shows 4400, 9-1-1, and NCIS: Los Angeles, and she took a role in the Showtime pilot Coercion.
Antonyah Allen plays Simone, a new classmate of Kevin
And Showtime says that Antonyah Allen will appear in Season 5 as Simone, "Kevin's (Alex Hibbert) new classmate, a creative introvert who constantly challenges him and opens his mind to new experiences." Antonyah seems to be a Hollywood newcomer, not even having an IMDb profile yet!
The Chi Season 5 premieres tonight, Sunday, June 26, at 9 p.m. ET on Showtime.
