Inside the group texts between West Point football players, a tweet started circulating in late July.
It came from a writer in Oxford and said, "My 2018 football season hot take: West Point is going to miss the playoffs."
West Point had won back-to-back 5A state championships, but it entered the season having graduated its starting quarterback, two 1,000-yard rushers, its leading receiver and two defenders with double-digit tackles for loss.
The returning players didn't care. Two days after winning state last December, they told head coach Chris Chambless they would do everything possible to play for another title. The players who started on those consecutive championship teams liked what they saw in practice from the backups. The Green Wave believed in their talent and drive, so when that tweet and others like it appeared on social media, the players laughed.
"We all knew what we were capable of," senior defensive back Ryan Melton said.
Entering the season doubted instead of ordained provided West Point a different perspective. It started each of the past two seasons with recognizable star talent like Mississippi State safety Marcus Murphy. Both years, West Point had to live up to hype.
This year, it had to prove it could still win.
West Point has almost always won this season. Senior Jake Chambless stepped in at quarterback and threw 11 touchdowns. Junior Brandon Harris rushed for 1,105 yards. Running back Kameron Martin scored 16 touchdowns.
The Green Wave found themselves in tight games for the first time in a long time and snapped a 30-game winning streak in late August, but sure enough, they will play for another state championship Saturday night, this time against West Jones.
Outside doubt never creeped into the team's psyche. Instead, doubt provided confidence that it would play for yet another title.
"No one else believed in us," Jake Chambless said, "and that's been a huge part of it."

Meth delusions led to brutal murder?

A former WAFL footballer in the grip of an acute psychosis after a two-week methamphetamine binge stabbed to death a stranger on his morning walk at a dog beach.
Daniel Luke Zwerus was jailed for life yesterday with a minimum of 18 years for the delusional, unprovoked and savage murder of Ilario Maiolo on May 13, 2013.
In the Supreme Court yesterday, Justice Stephen Hall acknowledged the devastation Mr Maiolo's brutal death caused his loving family.
He said Zwerus had a severe psychosis at the time of the attack but had willingly taken the drugs, though he was aware of the adverse effects on him and this could not be considered a mitigating circumstance.
Outside court, Det-Sgt Cameron Blaine spoke on behalf of Mr Maiolo's family, who he said were shattered.
"It certainly sent a shock wave through the Mandurah community and the broader community," he said.
Zwerus, 33, a father of two who played for Peel Thunder in 2001, pleaded guilty to the murder last Friday, three days before a scheduled Supreme Court trial.
Prosecutor Laura Christian told the court Mr Maiolo, a father of two known to his family and friends as Larry, was taking his usual morning walk at the Halls Head dog beach when Zwerus stabbed him 18 times in the brutal, sustained attack.
Zwerus then callously dragged the 46-year-old's body into the ocean and left the beach, stopping at strangers' houses to take property, including a fresh shirt from a clothes line, and discarding Mr Maiolo's wallet and bloodstained items on the way.
Ms Christian said Mr Maiolo, whose body was pulled from the water that morning while his wife and son were at the beach, had stab wounds to his head, neck, back and shoulders.
She said Zwerus, who had a history of binge drug use and violent offending, had used methamphetamine and cannabis daily for two weeks before the attack. He had been assessed as being psychotic due to methamphetamine intoxication.
Ms Christian said general deterrence was important and people needed to be sent the message that it was not acceptable to go on drug binges that made them no longer able to act rationally.
Defence lawyer Tony Elliott said genuine issues relating to whether Zwerus was insane and his mental capacity had been relevant in the lead-up to his scheduled trial. He said that less than a week before the killing, Zwerus tried to be admitted to rehabilitation.
He said Zwerus was delusional and had auditory command hallucinations before the attack. He believed he was possessed by the devil and that a task to rid the world of a certain type of person had fallen to him.

As March begins, we should expect daffodils to be emerging and the warm weather of spring to be gently cooking our cockles. And yet, the reality is that we are being covered in freezing snow. Is it actually a cruel cosmic plan to cancel 'World Book Day'?
For a few years now, I have been playing the role of Grinch when it comes to 'World Book Day'. As each year passes, it proves less a celebration of reading, and more a supermarket ploy to dredge a few more quid out of hard pressed parents.
Without snowing on our students' joys, we should take a long hard look at WBD. I'll admit, I have donned a Gandalf costume myself in the not-too-distant past. And yet, I'll claim it was at least part of a day bursting full of reading activities and not just a pricey costume parade. But now I'm not so sure.
Did anyone read more fulsomely the day after, the week after? Did my dressing up inspire a single reader? Well, you probably already know the answer to that.
Now, don't get me wrong – I am not dismissing the importance of reading for pleasure. Indeed, much of my teaching career is testimony to the pleasure and power of reading. But it appears to me that as every year passes, we lose a little more of the thread of why 'World Book Day' was ever conceived.
I remember fondly winning the right to gift a stack of books away in conjunction with WBD. It was a deep – although slightly daunting – pleasure (the book was Alan Bennett's biography if you are wondering). It meant that World Book Day lasted beyond a few hours in fancy dress at least. Still, even that is probably too tenuous to embed reading into the lives of the read-nots in all likelihood.
I think we should be wary of costumes and gimmicks and move towards something a little more meaningful and sustained. Something, well….more about reading deeply and well.
I'm not adverse to a little excitement – even a fun day (though don't get me started on the sham that is Valentine's Day!) – but it needs be the start of something. So here is my idea for something a little more meaningful, but potentially fun and fulfilling.
When the supermarket has shifted the shelves free of tenuously linked costumes ("That is a film, not a book, Mr TESCO"!), we can quietly, in the comfort of our own homes, with little fanfare, take on a reading challenge.
Everyone likes a goal. So how about the 'million word challenge'?
Take your average novel, say Harry Potter. That is about 77,000 words long. Now multiply that for about twelve novels – and a couple of non-fiction titles – and you quickly reach a grand total of 1,000,000 words. It feels like something to aim for – something we can hook onto as we enjoy the reading ride.
I'd much rather encourage students in my classes to take up the 'million word challenge' than dress up for a day and buy a one-off book they're not quite interested in. They might build up a reading habit. By Easter, they may spurn the supermarket shelves for a bookshop even.
Whatever we do, let's cancel World Book Day if it is proving little more than a commercial costume competition and let's get back to the root of it all: reading. If we are to do it, let's make it the start of something meaningful.
Let's make it about reading well and reading deeply again.
When the snow is pelting the window and the house is warm and cosy, I can think of nothing better.
As a school we subscribe to the 'Accelerated Reader' programme and have rewarded students with a trip to Waterstones to choose books when they enter our 'Millionaire's Club'!
'Millionaire's Club' – I like it!
Much better idea. I also heard about school that organised a book swap too, so that rather than focusing on a book you have already read, you found a new one to take home too! If this was done with no pressure to bring a book, but encourage everyone who can donate books to do so, we might get books into homes that don't normally have them.
Yes – it is, or should be, about the reading – particularly those homes where it isn't easy or habitual for children.

Q: What happens when adding constness to a function pointer? Static assertions all fail. What type is Constifier creating for a function pointer?
#include <type_traits>

template<typename T>
struct Constifier;

template<typename T>
struct Constifier<T *>
{
    typedef const T *Type;
};

int main()
{
    static_assert(std::is_same<typename Constifier<int (*)()>::Type, const int (*)()>::value, "");
    static_assert(std::is_same<typename Constifier<int (*)()>::Type, int (*const)()>::value, "");
    static_assert(std::is_same<typename Constifier<int (*)()>::Type, void>::value, "");
}

A: The function pointer is unchanged:
static_assert(std::is_same<typename Constifier<int (*)()>::Type, int (*)()>::value, "");

You cannot alter a function because it lives in the code section of the memory, so you can think of a function pointer implicity pointing to const already.

Computer-delivered IELTS:
What is a computer-delivered IELTS:
When you register for an IELTS test (either Academic or General Training) you can choose to take the test on paper, or on a computer. The IELTS test that is conducted on a computer rather than the conventional pencil-paper, is known as a computer-delivered IELTS. You take your Listening, Reading and Writing tests on a computer, and Speaking test with an expert examiner. To take your IELTS test on a computer, you should register for a computer-delivered IELTS.
The speaking test is still conducted by a human examiner:
When you choose to take a computer-delivered IELTS test, you will take the Listening, Reading and Writing tests using a computer. The Speaking test will remain face-to-face with an expert human examiner. Face-to-face speaking test with a human examiner is the most effective way of assessing someone speaking skills and prompts a more lifelike performance, and that is why it is not computerised by the IELTS authority even if you take your IELTS on a computer.
Q. Are there any differences between the computer-delivered and paper-based IELTS test?
There is virtually no difference between the computer-delivered IELTS and paper-based IELTS test since the questions and contents of both tests are the same. And since the questions and contents are the same in both types of tests, the level of difficulty for both the computer-delivered test and the paper-based test is also the same.
Having said that, however, one could also argue that the comfort level of the candidate could be the difference since some candidates could be more computer savvy than others, and therefore would be more interested in taking the computer-delivered test. But, again, as far as the questions, contents, level of difficulty and scoring are concerned, there is no difference between the two forms of tests whatsoever.
Q. Is the computer-delivered IELTS test easier than the traditional IELTS test?
No, the computer-delivered IELTS test is not easier or more difficult than the traditional paper-based IELTS test since the contents, questions and scoring in both forms of tests are the same. Of course, some people may be more comfortable in using a computer than others, but that's not enough to suggest that a computer savvy person will have a computer-delivered IELTS easier than the traditional IELTS test.
Q. Is the cost of taking a computer-delivered test higher?
No, the cost of taking a computer-delivered test is not higher than the paper-based IELTS test. In fact, the costs of taking both the computer-delivered IELTS test and paper-based test are the same.
Image Source: www.ieltsessentials.com
Computer-delivered IELTS is virtually the same as the traditional paper-based IELTS and does not require any additional skills or preparation time to take the test. It is the same IELTS with more choices. Computer-delivered IELTS is available for both IELTS Academic and General Training.
It is interesting to note that, when you choose to take the computer-delivered IELTS test, you will have more choices of test dates and venues to select from. The testing authority maintains the same standard and your test result has the same value.
Booking or registering for the computer-delivered IELTS test has become incredibly easier. You can pick the date and time of the test that suits you the most. Pick any day of the week including Friday or Sunday and you can take the test in the evening after your class or office as well.
While in the past, a candidate had to wait for weeks, and sometimes even months, to take the test, with the introduction of the computer-delivered IELTS, you can register for the test within a couple of days, if not hours, and have the result within less than a week. So, computer-delivered IELTS means greater flexibility.
If you have been preparing for the IELTS test, be rest assured that the computer-delivered test has the same content, same test format and the same marking guidelines. Your results are delivered using the same format and it will be available within 5 t o7 days from the date of the test.
If you decide to take the computer-delivered IELTS you will be sitting in a small and quiet computer lab and the test centre staff will be ready to help you when you need them. You will have the latest technology to take the test on the computer and all these facilities come with no additional cost, which means you will pay the same amount that you would be paying to take the paper-based IELTS test.
The Speaking test is still face-to-face and conducted by a human examiner in a private and quiet room. You no longer need at least two days to complete the test as you will be taking the Speaking test on the same day. You can even choose the date of your Speaking test. You have the flexibility of choosing whether to take the Speaking test before or after the remaining sections as well.
If you are interested to know about the disadvantages of computer-delivered IELTS tests before deciding to take the test, you can browse:
Disadvantages of Computer-delivered IELTS
Well, if you are not afraid of using a computer and feel more comfortable typing rather than writing, this test is for you.
Key features of a computer-delivered IELTS that you should know:
# 1. Exam structure, question types, marking scheme and exam timing are identical both for the computer-delivered and paper-based
IELTS.
# 2. You can take an IELTS test on paper or on a computer at one of the official test centres in your country. But please specify which one you want to take while you register for the test.
# 3. You can take a computer-delivered IELTS test if you feel comfortable writing on a computer rather than paper. Besides, when you take a computer-delivered IELTS test you get your results within 5 to 7 days.
# 4. In the computer-delivered Listening test, the timing is slightly different from the paper-based test. This is because the paper-based test requires candidates to transfer answers to an answer sheet. This step becomes redundant when answering directly on a computer.
# 5. You do not need advanced computer skills to take IELTS on a computer. With your moderate typing speed and basic computer skills, you can flexibly take a computer-delivered IELTS test.
All other aspects of the test are exactly the same, whether it is taken on paper or on a computer, including:
Speaking test delivery
Test Report Form
Results Verification

African Religions (Very Short Introduction - 377)
Oloupona, Jacob K.
Raktárkészlet: 1-10 pld
Célcsoport Mindenki
Nyelvi szint C2-anyanyelvi
Sorozat Very Short Introduction
Africa is home to hundreds of ethnic groups, who together speak more than a thousand languages. It is not surprising, then, that Africa's enormous range of peoples, cultures, and ways of life has engendered a wide diversity of religious practices.
This Very Short Introduction offers a wide-ranging look at the myriad indigenous religious traditions on the African continent. Drawing on archeological research, historical evidence, ethnographic studies, and archival materials such as missionary
records, Jacob Olupona-one of the world's leading authorities on African religions-captures a wealth of information in a short compass. The book not only gives the reader a full and vivid sense of African religious belief-exploring myths, gods and local
deities, ancestor worship, rites of passage, festivals, divination, and much more-but it also underscores the role these religions play in everyday African life. Indeed, traditional religions inform everything from birthing and death, marriage and family
dynamics, to diet, dress and grooming, health care, and even governance. Monarchs, chiefs, and elders play both political and religious roles, imparting secular and spiritual guidance to their subjects, while also being guardians of religious centres
such as shrines, temples, and sacred forests. The author also examines the spread of Christianity and Islam throughout Africa, both the moderate sects (which often blend aspects of indigenous faith into their own practice) and the more extreme
fundamentalist sects, which the author states have had a dire effect on African life. In fact, radical forms of Christianity and Islam-both of which decry tradition religion as paganism-have driven a near total collapse of indigenous practice. But if
traditional religions are engaged in a battle for their lives in Africa, Olupona shows that they are thriving elsewhere in the world-particularly in the Americas and in Europe.

2018 Honda Civic Four Door Has Landed!
Dynamic Driving
Engines & Performance
1. Introduction: New Civic saloon exhibits best-ever dynamics, refinement and sophistication
Sporty and distinctive design
Engineered to deliver an engaging and dynamic driving experience
Latest petrol and diesel engines deliver outstanding real-world efficiency and refinement
Next-generation Honda Connect delivers enhanced intuitive operation
Honda SENSING makes new Civic saloon one of the safest cars in its class
The new Honda Civic saloon is a dynamic and sophisticated four-door compact. It represents a significant step forward for Honda in the segment, benefiting from the largest single model global development programme in the company's history.
"The creation of this tenth-generation Civic represents one of the most comprehensive and ambitious new model developments ever undertaken by Honda," said Mitsuru Kariya, Chief Engineer and Global Project Leader. "As well as an unprecedented commitment of R&D resources, the process involved sales and manufacturing operations around the world, from North America and Japan, to Europe, South America and Asia. This car sets new benchmarks for the compact class in terms of dynamic performance, fuel efficiency, spaciousness, safety and interior quality."
Building on its 40-year heritage, the car stays true to the original Civic concept of "a car for all people, a car for the world". It is a marriage of distinctive design, sporty styling and versatile practicality – with a renewed focus on rewarding driving dynamics.
The purposeful silhouette makes a confident statement about the Civic saloon's sporty character. The new car has a short front overhang and taut lines that reference the high levels of aerodynamic efficiency. A sharp and aggressive 'face', pronounced wheel-arches and sculpted front and rear intakes hint at the Civic's sporting character.
2. Sporty, fresh and distinctive exterior design
With an assertive stance and advanced aerodynamics, the new Civic saloon advances the model's design into the next era. The sleek and swept-back silhouette articulates a fresh and distinctive new Honda design direction that conveys a strong and sporty character. Sharp lines are complemented by the most comprehensive aerodynamic packaging in the segment, including complete underbody panelling.
The athletic look starts with low and wide proportions which reflect an increased footprint. The new Civic saloon is 46 mm wider, 74 mm longer and 20 mm lower than its four-door predecessor. These generous dimensions underpin the distinctive design and sporty styling, while also facilitating rewarding dynamics and increased interior space.
New larger and wider wheels and tyres further emphasise the wide stance, while the long wheelbase, short front overhang and sweeping cabin area further add to the dynamic feel of the exterior.
The new Civic saloon is available in seven exterior paint finishes: solid Rallye Red and Taffeta White, metallic Lunar Silver, Polished Metal and Brilliant Sporty Blue, and pearlescent Crystal Black and Midnight Burgundy.
"What we sought to instil in the completely rejuvenated new Civic was genuine charisma," comments Mitsuru Kariya, Chief Engineer and Global Project Leader. "While this has to come from more than the styling, the athletic external appearance must allude to the dynamic attributes and technologies that lie within."
Class-leading aerodynamics
The Civic's development team sought to achieve the most aerodynamically efficient body in its class, balancing low aerodynamic drag with high-speed stability. It achieved this through careful management of airflow over and under the car to minimise lift.
Advanced designs for the A-pillar and front and rear bumpers minimise disturbance of the passing air and the front grille is shaped to reduce engine cooling air losses. Under-engine and under-floor covers provide an almost entirely flat vehicle underside, while the short front overhang also contributes to improved aerodynamic efficiency. Stamped steel exhaust silencers are aerodynamically shaped and eliminate the need for an additional underside cover at the rear of the vehicle.
The flush-mounted windscreen and side window glass and minimised panel gaps further improve aerodynamic performance.
3. Newly engineered from the ground up, the Civic platform was developed for an engaging and dynamic driving experience
New Civic is the result of the largest single model development programme in Honda's history
The most engaging and fun Civic driving experience ever
Lower, sportier driving position
New suspension setup delivers exceptional handling and ride comfort
Advanced NVH management delivers class-leading interior refinement
Recognising that customers in the new Civic's global target markets now expect European standards of quality, refinement and dynamic performance, the Civic development team planned Honda's biggest ever single model engineering programme to create an entirely new car from the ground up.
The objective was to realise a dynamic rejuvenation of the Civic that would make it competitive with the best in the segment. From the earliest stage of platform development, the engineering team benchmarked the world's best compact-class cars, including those from leading premium brands. This evaluation process ultimately served to define the new Civic's targets in ride, handling, steering and NVH, as well as interior quality and overall refinement.
"From the very first stages, we defined our number-one objective for this new Civic as the creation of soulful performance," said Mitsuru Kariya, Chief Engineer and Global Project Leader. "Dynamic performance targets were set and achieved through an exhaustive, gruelling regime of testing and development. The result is a platform that provides both superior driving stability and refinement, as well as a confidence-building, low-slung driving position."
Advanced new unibody platform
The new platform's design, the selection of materials, the engineering process, and novel manufacturing techniques have been key to creating a lighter, significantly more rigid structure. It is 16 kg lighter than that of the previous generation Civic saloon, while exhibiting 52 percent greater torsional stiffness.
The most agile and dynamically proficient Civic ever
The advanced platform provides an optimised foundation for the most sophisticated chassis dynamics set up in the Civic model's history. The design team set themselves the target of achieving class-best handling and ride comfort.
Great attention was paid to the specific position of the suspension mounts to ensure optimal stiffness to enhance the suspension's performance. For the first time on any Civic saloon, hydraulic fluid-filled compliance bushings at the front and rear result in superior ride isolation, as well as chassis vibration control. Furthermore, the new subframes at the front and the rear are specifically laid out so that cornering forces are transmitted more directly through the suspension to the subframes.
Agile Handling Assist (AHA)
Honda's Agile Handling Assist (AHA) electronic stability system has been specially tuned for the European market to reflect typical road surface conditions and driving styles. It provides subtle, discreet assistance for added safety and smoother, more predictable vehicle behaviour at low and high speeds, and with both gentle and rapid steering inputs.
Class-leading refinement
The new Civic's platform engineering and exterior design deliver class-leading interior quietness and refinement through optimal noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) management. Exemplary refinement results from minimising the generation of noise and vibration and their transfer through the body structure, and by using thorough sound sealing and insulation.
Larger body panels on the new Civic are shaped and sculpted using computer aided engineering (CAE) to reduce 'booming', while the material combination between the A- and B-pillars and the floor sills reduces idle vibration.
The greatly increased refinement means a quieter, more relaxing interior with fewer distractions for the driver, allowing them to focus on the engaging experience behind the wheel.

Civic saloon engines offer athletic response, low CO2 emissions and high real-world fuel economy
Friction-reducing technologies improve refinement and contribute to lower emissions from petrol and diesel units
Lightweight engine components further help to boost overall efficiency
Comprehensively-revised diesel engine assembled at Honda of the UK Manufacturing in Swindon
The new Civic saloon is available with Honda's latest 1.0-litre VTEC TURBO petrol engine, as well as the comprehensively-revised 1.6-litre i-DTEC diesel. Both powertrains offer powerful and efficient real-world performance, as well as low CO2 emissions.
Honda's engineering heritage encompasses some of the most celebrated engines in the industry, and the latest VTEC TURBO engine is designed first and foremost to offer dynamic performance to support the new Civic's soulful, fun-to-drive character. Nevertheless, it also achieves highly competitive fuel economy and efficiency. The 1.0-litre VTEC TURBO is available with either a six-speed manual transmission or a bespoke CVT automatic.
A highly efficient 1.6-litre i-DTEC diesel engine is also available in the new Civic saloon, offering an outstanding combination of performance and efficiency. Honda has made significant improvements to the engine and the exhaust system to maximise real-world performance. The latest diesel engine is available with a choice of six-speed manual or nine-speed automatic transmissions. Other features include:
Engaging driveability from new VTEC TURBO
VTEC TURBO engine technologies
Low-inertia mono scroll turbocharger with electronic wastegate

The tenth-generation Civic range includes the choice of a diesel engine combined with an automatic gearbox – the first time this has been available for the Civic model.
With a wide spread of gears, the nine-speed transmission boasts superb efficiency: the very low first-gear ratio delivers a smooth and powerful launch, while a high top-gear ratio ensures low engine speed while cruising, which reduces fuel consumption and noise.
The spread of ratios in the gearbox means the automatic delivers smooth shifts, and a feeling of linear acceleration through the gears. Depending on the engine speed and throttle application, the transmission is also capable of 'skipping' gears for quick response, for example shifting down directly from 9th to 5th gear or from 7th to 4th gear, in addition to one- and two-gear downshifts.

5. Class-leading interior space with improved usability
New Civic saloon is more spacious than the previous model
More room for passengers and luggage
Premium cabin quality, new LCD instrument binnacle layout and versatile two-tier 'technology centre' console
The all-new Civic is set to continue the model's reputation for providing class-leading practicality and unrivalled passenger and cargo space. High quality materials, a simple and sophisticated design theme, and new digital instrument binnacle display provide a fresh, premium interior ambience.
"The charismatic exterior design continues inside. It is a modern cabin in which advanced technologies and high-quality materials naturally work together to create an enhanced level of space and comfort, while the overriding sense of well-being is achieved through exceptional visibility, as well as an unmistakable feeling of safety and security. This is at the heart of our achievement in redefining the compact car the Honda way."
More spacious passenger cabin - Aided in part by the longer, wider platform and longer wheelbase, front seat and rear seat occupants benefit from greater visibility and more space in which to enjoy the premium fit and finish.
Class-leading boot space and versatility - Behind the 60:40 split rear seats, the focus is not just on luggage volume – although with 519 litres, it is 20.8% larger than the previous model – but also on ease of access and versatility of the boot. The low sill and wide boot opening combine with the flat boot floor and 20.6% larger pass-through to make loading heavy, wider and longer items easy. The four-door Civic's boot will accommodate four soft suitcases or four golf bags – one more of each compared to the previous Civic saloon.
The all-new interior is designed to offer the most comfortable and sophisticated cabin in the compact class and gives the all-new Civic a thoroughly modern, sleek and simple aesthetic to complement the sharply sculpted exterior. This is achieved with horizontal lines that accentuate the feeling of width and length, and therefore spaciousness. Technology is second to none in the 'Technology centre' console features a piano-black finish and was designed to follow a 'technology centre' theme.The New Civic now features a refrigerant with a much lower Global Warming Potential (GWP). Three-stage front seat heating and rear seat heating are also available on some grades.
The new Civic offers Brake Hold when temporarily stopped – for example, at traffic lights or busy junctions – as well as push-button start, keyless entry, and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.
6. Next-generation Honda Connect delivers enhanced, more intuitive connected infotainment
New seven-inch Advanced Touch IPS display
Full smartphone integration with both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto
In-car apps include maps, messaging, music and more
The new Civic is available with the second-generation of Honda's Connect infotainment and connectivity system, which offers enhanced intuitive operation and full smartphone integration via both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto.
The performance, stability and speed of the new Honda Connect system is delivered by a high performance Nvidia Tegra 3 quad core processor, which was specifically developed for extreme multitasking, ultra-smooth web browsing, brilliant graphics and rapid response to inputs. It also helps the display to present crisp, vivid, pin-sharp graphics and text on the seven-inch TFT-LCD touchscreen in the centre console.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both included for the first time on a Civic saloon, which means that occupants can seamlessly integrate Honda Connect with the leading smartphone operating systems.
Honda Connect can be specified with optional Garmin satellite navigation, with pre-loaded maps, photo-real junction views, lane guidance, real-time traffic avoidance, 3D building and terrain views, and Eco Routing. Free map updates will be provided for five years, a benefit unique to Honda.
Options for the available audio configuration vary by grade, including an eight-speaker 180-watt output system, or high-power audio with 10 speakers (452-watt output).
7. Standard Honda SENSING across the range makes new Civic one of the safest cars in its class
The new Civic has been engineered to achieve industry-leading safety performance. The development team's success in creating class-leading body rigidity and stiffness, in conjunction with a comprehensive suite of active safety technologies. These systems helped the new Civic – tested as a hatchback in 1.0-litre VTEC TURBO specification – to earn top ratings in the latest Euro NCAP tests (published November 2017). The Civic saloon shares the same safety structure and systems.
The Honda SENSING suite of active safety technologies includes:
Collision Mitigation Braking System: helps to bring the car to a stop if the system determines that a collision with a vehicle detected in front is unavoidable. A warning sounds, and if necessary, brake pressure is automatically applied
Forward Collision Warning: scans the road ahead to warn drivers of a potential collision, and provides visual and audible alerts to prompt the driver to take corrective actions to avoid a crash
Lane Departure Warning: will detect if the car is straying out of its current lane without the turn signal being activated, and provides an alert to prompt the driver to make a correction
Road Departure Mitigation: uses data from the windscreen-mounted camera to detect whether the car is veering out of its lane. It uses the Electric Power Steering to apply subtle corrections to keep the vehicle in its lane, and in certain situations can also apply braking force. The system switches off when it detects that the driver has regained control
Lane Keeping Assist System: helps to keep the car in the middle of the current lane, by detecting road markings with a monocular camera and making small adjustments to steer the vehicle within the white lines
Adaptive Cruise Control: allows the driver to set a desired speed and following distance from a vehicle detected ahead, which enables the use of cruise control in light, variable-speed traffic conditions
Traffic Sign Recognition: detects and automatically recognises road signs and displays the signs on the instrument binnacle's IID
Intelligent Speed Assistance: combines the automatic speed limit set by the driver with TSR to automatically adjust the vehicle speed to that indicated by the last road sign
Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control: a pioneering technology that debuted on the 2015 Honda CR-V, i-ACC predicts and automatically reacts to other vehicles 'cutting-in' on multi-lane highways. It uses a camera and a radar to sense the position of other vehicles on the road and applies an algorithm – developed with exhaustive research on European roads – to predict the likelihood of vehicles in neighbouring lanes 'cutting-in'. This enables the new Civic to adjust its speed automatically before other vehicles cut in, for a safe and comfortable journey.
Further safety technologies in the new Civic include:
Blind Spot Information: uses radar technology to automatically detect vehicles in the driver's blind spot and alerts the driver via a warning symbol in the door mirror
Cross Traffic Monitor: uses rear side radar sensors to warn the driver of approaching vehicles when reversing
Multi-angle rear view camera: provides the driver with options for complete visibility and therefore peace-of-mind when reversing; a normal 130-degree view, a wide 180-degree view and a top-down view
Also fitted as standard are Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) with traction control, which enhances control capability while the vehicle is accelerating, braking, cornering, and Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

To determine Disc Replacement Surgery success rates first we should ask, how do we define success?
If the patient has a perfect surgery without complications this could be considered a successful disc replacement surgery. The surgery has restored the disc height it has decompressed all the nerves and prevented future paralysis. So, the disc replacement was a success, right?
Disc Replacement Surgeon Dr. Ritter-Lang and his team have 100% success since using the Spinal Kinetics Disc Replacement implant. No device failures, removals, migrations or complications that resulted in permanent damage or disability.
Previous artificial disc replacement implants resulted in from 4-8% reoperation for device subsidence or migration. This concern has all but been eliminated with the Spinal Kinetics M6 Disc Replacement.
We must also understand that the statistics include all patients and for some disc replacement surgery was their last hope or they had other surgeries prior. The younger, healthier, single-level patients without previous surgeries will do better and heal faster than many other patients. How fast, how much better depends and how much pain relief depends on many factors. Of course how skilled the surgeon is greatly effects disc replacement success rates. Success rates will vary widely by surgeon, look for experience. The best hope for a patient is to find a surgeon with peer verified results.
See Spinal Kinetics Disc Replacement Study.
Artificial disc replacement is not a new surgical procedure yet it may be new to many surgeons. Any surgeon can legally do a disc replacement procedure and some begin doing the procedure after a two-day course. These surgeons' success rates become part of the world-wide success rate of the procedure.
Artificial Disc Replacement in the hands of skilled and experienced surgeon will have a much higher success rate than less experienced surgeons.
Patient's expectations also play a role in disc replacement success rate scoring. While the vast majority of our patients report a successful pain free outcome from disc replacement surgery if a 65 year old patient who has suffered from back pain most their life and had several surgeries, expects their post op spine to feel like it did when there were younger they may end up disappointed.


This chart was created for Part II of Line 9 Protests Unmasked, a series that investigates who's behind the actions against Enbridge's plan to reverse their Line 9 pipeline. The battle officially began on November 17, 2012 when a group of anti-capitalist organizations gathered with a plan to battle against the reversal of Enbridge's Line 9 pipeline reversal project.
This chart outlines the people and groups that sponsored and organized the conference, the speakers (and their organizations), and their connections to Ontario's militant anarchist community.

Ted Lasso 3 will be the last season for Ted… or maybe not
Deepak GuptaOctober 15, 2021
Although I'm not a football lover, Ted Lasso is one of the series whose episodes are a regular appointment every Friday for me. The original Apple TV + series arrived on the video-on-demand platform in 2020 and, soon, we will already see the debut of a third season of Ted Lasso, which we know will conclude the story of Ted (but not necessarily end the show).
While we've come to love the show's characters by now (yes, except of course Nate), it seems its creators have always had a three-season arc for Ted Lasso in mind. Now, with the success of the series, also winner of 7 Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe, things could take longer than expected.
Will Ted Lasso 3 end Ted's story… or will the series continue?
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, one of the show's creators and showrunner of the series, Bill Lawrence, spoke about the future of the series, explaining:
"I would like the show to continue. But it will only go on as long as (Sudeikis) feels it is an interesting thing for him, not only to do creatively and professionally, but also on a personal level. People forget he's a guy with two kids and he's a great dad, and taking your life to London for half the year is hard. "
Lawrence then went on to add:
"(When) we started, we plotted the beginning, middle and end of a three-season arc for everyone (the characters). This story will end next year, regardless, even if the show will find another story to tell and it will go on "
It therefore seems that the decision to continue or not with the series and the characters we know will be up to the star and creator of the show, Jason Sudeikis, along with the rest of the cast and writers; because it is clear that Apple has great success on its hands and will be willing to give the show as many seasons as it wants.
"I do not know. I hope so", continued Lawrence, admitting that the idea of ending a hit show after just 34 episodes seems odd. "I like all of these characters and would definitely enjoy continuing to live with (the character of Ted Lasso). But he's (Jason's) character ".
Lawrence says Sudeikis will make a decision about the show's future in a "timely fashion" as the series' cast and writers recently renegotiated their deals to secure sizable pay rises that were possible with an option to continue Ted Lasso beyond third. season. Meanwhile, Lawrence – who is also in the midst of renegotiating his deal with main studio, Warner Bros. TV – is struggling with the urge to think about Ted Lasso's future, including potential spin-offs.
"I don't think anything is decided, but out of respect, we will wait", he revealed when asked about potential spin-offs. "None of us are worried that Jason understands what he wants to do. And when it does, we'll start talking about all those things. "
Do you need a bit of Ted Lasso's typical optimism in those parts?

In case you hadn't noticed, Justice League is smashing it at the box office, virtue of an incredible $300 million budget fuelling the superhero action. What's almost as impressive is the fact that the Justice League Slot machine from Playtech is already playable in online casinos, having been created to launch with the film. Made by one of the masters of the slot industry, the comic book cinematics, bonus features and all-round entertainment value of this progressive jackpot video slot make it one of the year's leading releases.
Justice League slot from Playtech is a five-reel, 40-payline progressive jackpot slot – the latest in a line of DC Comic releases, including Man of Steel and Batman & Catwoman Cash. Featuring a beautifully rendered superhero gamescape and 3D action, the slot machine brings gamers the same big screen icons as the Justice League film: The Flash, Cyborg, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman. The mission? To fight for justice against Steppenwolf and his army of Parademons.
Backed by real cinematic audio, spinning the reels is a dramatic affair, with auto and turbo modes turning it into high-octane slot, costing from 0.40 to an insane 2000.00 per spin. In addition to an array of base game icons and payouts, Justice League is loaded with re-spin features, wilds and special bonuses from each of the Superheroes. And with Playtech's multi-level progressive jackpot built into the game, there's also scope for a random life-changing payout.
Featuring a very wide range of spin levels, Justice League video slot is playable with a small or huge budget, delivering a mix of entertainment and payout potential. In the base game, Batman is the high rolling hero, with five symbols paying out 500 coins, followed by Superman on 400 and Wonder Woman with 300. Low level rewards begin at seven coins for spins such as three Flash icons.
Any base game spin can trigger a surprise Superhero re-spin, with a hero morphing into a wild. Players can re-trigger again and again, turning the whole League wild. The game's most entertaining element is the powerful free spin feature – with each Superhero dishing out a uniquely powerful bonus. Wonder Woman's bonus rewards players with seven free spins, with superheroes landing on the feature frame all turning wild.
Matching two or more scatters re-triggers the feature, with up to 14 free spins available. Superman's bonus starts with five free spins, with a giant frame on every play, boosting the odds of rewards. Batman's feature only contains two free spins, but his stacked wilds can pay out most potently. Ultimately, the power of all the game's characters does a grand job at bringing the theme of the Justice League film to the slot screen. And the chance to randomly win one of Playtech's progressive jackpots, only adds to the appeal of this excellent addition to Playtech's DC Comic slot series.

Q: Post via ajax doesn't send data I have the problem with post via ajax in my MVC application. I want to post a string, but in controller I get null. I found many similar problems, but still can't find a solution.
My controller:
[HttpPost]
    public async Task<ActionResult> AddCompany(string data)
    {
        Company company = new Company { Name = data };
        await _context.Companies.AddAsync(company);

Présentation

L'analyse fonctionnelle et organique devrait être effectuée avant tout développement
et codage d'une application. C'est une étude préalable nécessaire.
Les objectifs sont multiples :

s'imprégner du cahier des charges et de son périmètre (fonctionnel),

faire émerger les points durs, les imprécisions, les zones d'ombres,

découper le développement de façon modulaire,

tout envisager afin de ne plus avoir à « inventer » durant la phase de codage,

gagner en productivité.

Dernière particularité d'une analyse fonctionnelle et organique : elle est indépendante
du langage (qui sera utilisé lors de la phase de codage).

Great Recession's Lack of Investment Takes it Toll as Business Innovation in Canada Drops »
A Canoe Trip With Mel Watkins
By Paul Tulloch | February 19, 2014 - 5:54 am | February 19, 2014 Uncategorized
Welcome to my first blog post and as such I would like to dedicate this post to one of my favourite economists, Mel Watkins (right up there with Karl Polanyi, Colin Leys, and Pat Armstrong). It is difficult to encapsulate the labour process of learning and how one takes in the social construction and manifestations of the prevailing learned. Being a student of political economy for many years and attempting to engage the workings of the global economy, it was through such work and teachings of Mel Watkins that made this journey easier.
Mel's important contributions to the Staples theory and later his work on foreign ownership and Canada's growing reliance on foreign direct investment were of great comfort and guidance for me. It is much easier running the rapids with a skilled canoeist in the boat. Too often in other areas one finds themselves in the cold, dark, shark infested waters. The great asset of the staples theory for me is its ability to examine linkages that are demarcated by the boundary of the firm and follow the value chain of productive processes. It is an approximate extension, and necessary outline of the circuitry of capital. Recently I finished reading Capital Volume II and what I took away was a greater appreciation of the flows of capital as Marx provides a fairly detailed outline to the circuitry of capital – yet it was frozen in terms of technology. So there is plenty of work to be done to understand how this circuitry has changed over time. I found the Staple's theory to be a start into that process. The necessity due to an increasingly complicated and diversified process of value adding- in terms of product design, division of labour, and geographical location. The Staples theory allows a simplified and focused theory to situate power relations, inputs and outputs within the totality of the production process. It indeed at first glance seems to be focused on resource extraction and inputs, but it's actual extension into the deeper reaches of the production process allow a more synthesized perspective in the face of an increasingly complicated value chain of the production process.
It is in that fashion that one does indeed have to give Mel a lot of credit for seeing through this and providing the necessary work to bring Innis and the Staple's theory back into the main discourse for understanding this process as globalization was beginning to make its comeback. Mel is still at it, looking into the linkages and how they actually do potentially inadvertently propagate newer technologies and industries that build up from those original industrial linkages and technologies. As Mel stated recently in a blog post-
"Following Hirschman's insight, focus on a dialetical relationship, a shifting symbiosis, between an emerging mode of industrial capitalism and an emerging industry. Add, as it seems to me, that as the mode forms more fully, it then facilitates the emergence of other industries – the most powerful of linkages, the exemplary case of what some writers have come to call "lateral linkage.""
That is quite a deep insight into the functioning of the circuitry, and given the nature of the complexity in causality, and the lack of data to explore such causality and outcomes, it takes a real economist to interrogate such depth of analysis. This leads me in many ways, to remind myself that people such as Mel in this field of economics, reminds me of the great artist, Tom Thomp son. Yes an artist- after much debate, reading, research, math, and age, I do find the study of economics and the political space it is embedded within very much an art. There is very little science in Economics, very little in the theoretical space and much less in the praxis of real life where real people need to eat, work and survive. Indeed there is math and some notions of science, but given the dimensions of power in the field and the fact that it is applied with external force for specific ends, how could these means be considered as striving for minimal subjectivity.
Consider the inputs, the process and the outputs of the current state of the field of economic study. Given the outcomes how could economics in its current form be anything but some-kind of crazy art. Indeed the current variety of capitalism is an art form based on the notion of haphazardly designed misery. As we increasingly move into the Risk Society, billions in the "developing" countries have been left out and more are continually pushed out. How could an field of study be considered a science when it ignores so much of the life world. The new equations of economics need to expand, it's not just the sharing of the rewards, we also have sharing of the risks. Yet the "sciences" within the economics subject matter guided under the quite visible hands of the orthodoxy of neo-classsical economics and the rest of it, rarely make any space for the risks it creates. From the environmental collapse and the accelerating CO2, the instability of the economy, the lack of adequate food and security for billions, is an equation without enough parameters. But plenty of mathematical weight for the thin veneer of the shiny flashy objects of the commodity fetishism and the ego stroking keep the profits maximized and the human experience as an externalized- I am imagining that is the basis for Marx's focus on alienation and they are more relevant than ever.
These thoughts never stray far from me and reading through Travis Fast's dissertation on the Varieties of Capitalism reminded just how artistic the neo classical- Orthodoxy has been and will always be under the current power relations. (great work Travis)
It is precisely this space of assumed science- that prevented the Staples theory from becoming part of the orthodoxy- and that is indeed problematic- given the truth behind the prime movers of knowledge construction. There are indeed hints that Staples theory makes a splash in the main stream teachings- but typically it is cast out as some historical artifact of a bygone era. It is in fact a theory that could be applied across many developing and developed countries and is ripe for research and informating capacity.
Thinking more about the relationship between art and economics- I realize now that potentially Tom Thompson reminds me more of Mel Watkins than the reversal. One could claim that indeed Tom Thompson was an early proponent of Staples theory in his own way. One of his famous works of art entitled "The Jack Pine" has been interpreted much differently than many believe. Instead of the majestic massive Jack Pine on the sh ores of Canoe Lake in Algonquin park, where Thompson painted it, some have stated (and you can actually see what seems like stumps in the painting itself and the whole lone pine without a friend), it is a portrait of critical analysis, of the very few Jack Pines that remained in Algonquin park. It is well known Thompson was highly critical of the clear cutting and logging operations that were ongoing throughout the park during his stay. It was his love and the park which he treasured was being assaulted. So potentially Thompson helped out early economists like Innis form up the Staple's theory. I like it and endorse it fully.
In Canada we are fortunate to have that great bastion of Canadian Political Economy to embrace, and guide us through the layers of the economic terrain laid down. Mel has and always will be a pillar within that space. The recent Tar sands debate within Canada is proof positive that our resources aplenty economy will necessitate its survival. The Staples theory indeed has global appeal in potential and a necessary perspective to grasp the foundations in which understand the structure of the Canadian economy. The history and future of our economy will gyrate somewhat into higher value adding but always at the base our economy will unfold like a Staples economy glove, form fitted and never getting free, sometimes feelings its fists of velvety sting and other times regional prosperity will keep us debating the merits of sharing. From the tar sands to big data and its computational high performance GPU farms cooled in the cold airs of the north- staples theory touches the lives of millions of gainfully employed workers in its boom and bust resource based flows of output through the productive circuits of capital.
Mel and a cast of several, created and built what is now defined as Canadian Political Economy- from the founding work of Innis it has grown and evolved. It is difficult to affix labels to define the makeup of Canadian Political economy but if one had to it would start with a mix of heterodox economics from the realms of Keynesian economics, Marxian economics, and the post-Keynesians. It also infuses larges amounts of sociology, history, feminist theory in a uniquely interdisciplinary mixture. Indeed Canadian Political Economy is a mongrel- but at its root, it is home grown and started with the seeds of the Innis's Staples theory to economic development. Mix in its blend of qualitative and quantitative uniqueness and you have one very robust yet flexible base of knowledge, theory and empiricism. It is what fuels the progressive movement in Canada that helps power up the debates and greater social awareness that pervades Canadian economics and society.
Over at the Progressive Economic Blog, they have paid tribute to Mel Watkins and his work through a series of guest articles from several academics, labour economists and activists. The series of article shows just how deep the Staples theory runs, as the articles focus on applying and nurturing an understanding in a variety of fields. It has been over seven years that I have been involved with the Progressive Economics Forum through commentary and guest blogs and this tribute to Mel made possible by the collective efforts of the fine collective at the blog is another wonderful adventure into defining and breathing in this new terrain for collaboration and debate.
My recent studies in machine learning and natural language processing combined with political economy brought me to an idea to add in my own celebration of Mel's work. Unfortunately for Mel he will have to be my lab partner in this experiment. I have combined all texts submitted to the "Staples at 50" project that are in honour of Mel's work. With this large file I applied some new standardized machine learning algorithms within the natural language processing field producing a word cloud. It is a bit of a simplistic approach but it tries to extract some nuances with the aim of introducing these thoughts to the social networks, twitter verse and the rest of the online world. Word clouds based upon sentiment extraction are a new tool to analyze text, and I am currently research a method to automate a process to rate and maybe create a typology of economic texts based upon the political aspects of the textual content.
For the word cloud below I added a few stop words to the algorithm as they were so over whelming or redundant. For example I excluded Canada and Canadian, which given the potential of the long run outcome of Staple's theory- might actually be foreshadowing. I will follow this up soon with another version of a word cloud and this time using Mel's own original article to feed into the machine learning algorithm and compare the two.


After this period is over, any sort of attachments, replacements, or repairs are a matter of your financial concern. Some watches are made to last a lifetime, but a warranty shows show respectable and reliable your manufacturer is. So demanding a product that is guaranteed for a specific period of time, be it 2 or 5 years, is a good way to place trust in a particular brand.


The strong call for reform issued last week by premier-designate Li Keqiang, who acceded to number two in the Communist Party's new Politburo Standing Committee in mid-November, was the first clear affirmation that the administration of Xi Jiping, appointed as the Party's General Secretary, intended to push through significant changes over the next decade. Mr. Li is quoted as saying "reform is still the biggest bonus for China. We have benefited from reform in the past 30 years.
We have to march on as there is no way back…we have to face challenges and break all the systematic obstacles that block scientific development." Such words are clearly a sign of new leadership and have a clear message to push for ground-breaking reform aimed at creating a mature, market-oriented economy (FT, China Confidential, 29 November 2012). Continuing in this reformist vein, Mr. Li has said recently that the Chinese economy would be further opened to foreign companies, thus bringing more opportunities for cooperation between China and other countries.
Aside from policy signals, the real economy appears to have performed strongly in November, with manufacturing activities rising significantly. Several other readings reinforced a sense of robust activity in real estate. Home transitions in 54 major cities reached 236 units in November, posting month-on-month growth of 30.6%. According to the China Index Academy, in the week to 18 November, 36 of 40 monitored cities saw home transitions go up y-o-y with the northeastern city of Harbin posting the biggest rise of 971.7%. Meanwhile, in spite of the obvious rebound in the economy in October and November and given the expectation that this robust phase will carry through to December and the start of 2013, inflationary pressures remain fairly subdued.
China's macroeconomic indicators have improved in recent months, helping industrial profit to turn around. Not only did total industrial sales revenue grow to 10.3% compared to one year ago but total industrial profits rose 0.5% over the first 10 months of the year (JP Morgan, November 2012). Among the major industrial enterprises, industrial profits in the state-owned sector fell 9.2% during January- October, while sales revenue rose 5.3% over a year ago. On the other hand, industrial profits at domestic private enterprise continued to outperform, up 17% over a year ago in October, with sales revenue rising 16.8% y-o-y. For much of this year, the weakening in corporate earnings has been as one of the significant constraints on corporate capex and overall fixed investment growth. In addition to improving signs from the bottom up, enterprise level sales and profits data, we have observed some early signals that the corporate sector's de-stocking process is likely near an end, as suggested by the stabilization in the manufacturing PMIs finished goods inventory component in recent months (JP Morgan, December 2012).

We recommend using SignUpGenius.com to invite your guests to the party. Using SignUpGenius makes it super easy for us to help you fill up any remaining sessions you may have. We offer a template here for your invite! Please include HaveFun@FameParties.com on your email list, or email us a link to your sign up.
We can always help you try to fill your schedule, by contacting past Famers in your area, and posting on our Facebook page. We will never give out your address, just the area of town you're in when posting about your party.
We will touch base for a copy of your schedule two weeks before your party, but feel free to update us if it's filling up fast, or if you're having trouble booking anytime.
You're welcome to start any time between 8-10am for morning parties and 3-5pm for afternoon parties, unless requested otherwise. It's up to you!
You will need at least 10 families for the party to take place, so we recommend scheduling 15 families to account for last minute cancelations.
We ask no more than 20 sessions, unless you okay it with us first.
Please try to keep the schedule as condensed as possible. You can schedule families back to back in 10 family chunks.
Your family will want to sign up for a session as well. Please be ready for your session BEFORE your photographer arrives to set up.
The backdrop is 9ft wide and will extend from the wall about 6 ft. The height is adjustable.
Your photographer will arrive 30 minutes before your first scheduled session. To facilitate a punctual start time, it helps to have a space or room cleared for the backdrop. If you are unsure which area would work best, the photographer can help narrow the selection upon arrival.
Providing snacks and beverages for your guests is totally up to you! If you have requested the photographer bring champagne, please note juice will not be provided.
If weather permits for the option to shoot around the yard as well, please scout a spot that is shady throughout the duration of your party.
The backdrop works best on hard floors. Carpet causes an undesirable texture to form on the backdrop.
Rooms or spaces without traffic are preferred.
Setting up against a wall is preferred, but not necessary.
Try to avoid setting the backdrop in front of a window without the ability to black out, or in an area with direct light from opposing windows.
Do not allow children to have snacks before or during their session. Photoshopping crumbs and stains is extra!
Your photographer will have a selection of props, but unique props are encouraged to be provided by the host family as well as guests.
On location parties are our favorite way to showcase the great outdoor spaces that can be found in our Fame Party cities!
As with indoor parties, your photographer will arrive 30 minutes before your first scheduled session. To facilitate a punctual start time as well as guests not getting lost, it helps to have a meeting location planned ahead of time.
Shady spaces work best for shooting outdoors, and planning a visit to the park for scouting shooting areas is appreciated. If you are unsure which area will work best for shooting, the photographer can help narrow the selection upon arrival.
If your location does not have table space, you may want to provide an area for filling out forms, if your guests have not filled them out ahead of time.
If your location does not have shady area for waiting/resting between sessions, especially on a sunny day at the beach, you may want to provide a canopy if you do not have a cabin.
Plan a meet up location for your photographer and guests ahead of time.
A backup location in case of inclement weather is REQUIRED.
Our Star Photographers rely on you to interact with your guests before and after their session so they can focus on capturing high quality images for each family.
Staying on Track - Your Star Photographer leaving the shooting area to find a distracted family can cause delays. Since you know the "who's who" at your party, alerting families that their session is next will keep the schedule running smoothly.
Order Forms and Ordering Details - Every guest is required to fill out an order form after their session, regardless of making a purchase. Their email address is our main point of contact, and we will not be able to deliver their viewing site without it. Please be familiar with our ordering options. If you have any questions about the day of the party discount, upgrades, packages, a la carte items, or ordering in general, please email us, chat with us online, or talk with your Star Photographer before your guests arrive. Our Star Photographers do not carry change, so if a guest would like to pay with cash, they will need the exact amount. This means the total with tax for Texas Fame Parties.
Refreshments - If you do provide refreshments for your guests the day of the party, please request that children do not partake in them until AFTER their session. Photoshopping crumbs and stains incurs an additional fee.
Managing Late Families - If a Family A is running behind and Family B is present and ready to go, let the Family B take their session. The Family A can fill in as soon as they arrive.
We always like to say THANK YOU for helping our Famer family grow by bringing together family and friends for your Fame Party. Your thank you package is dependent on the number of families who actually attend your party, combined with the number of times you have hosted in the past.

It feels like a map pack just came out for Gears of War 3 a few weeks ago, but in all actuality it's been a little over two months since "Fenix Rising" was released. Gears fans can rest easy as they finally have new content to check out in the "Forces of Nature" pack, which includes three brand new maps and two re-hashes of fan-favorite maps "Jacinto" and "Raven Down." The three new maps ("Artillery," "Aftermath," and "Cove") all have a theme centered around a specific natural disaster. I'll be honest, that sort of makes me want to play Gears 3 again.
Also waiting for you will be four new playable characters and an added 250 Achievement Points. Now, if you happened to purchase the Season Pass, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to pay for this pack, as you're still covered under the pass. For everyone else, you're going to have to cough up 800 Microsoft Points. That's it for Gears of War 3's DLC content season. Did you feel you got enough, or are you still clamoring for more?


There aren't many traditional French dishes which are as easily veganisable as pissaladière. This strangely named tart originates in Nice and its area, and is essentially a tomato-less onion pizza. Take it on a picnic, make it for an apéro, have it for lunch, do whatever you like with it. The traditional version uses anchovies, but this vegan pissaladière is capers all the way. And no, I don't make my own pastry. My pastry is bad, bought pastry is good.
1. Slice your onions. Put them in a large frying pan with the oil, thyme, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook over a very low heat for 45 minutes to an hour, stirring often. You want to create a kind of onion mulch, not caramelised onions.
2. Roll out your pastry onto a greased baking tray. Bake blind for about 10 minutes.
3. Just before the onions are cooked, stir in the capers and the small splash of vinegar.
4. Allow the onion mix to cool slightly before heaping it on to the pastry. Dot with olives. Return to oven for 15 minutes at 180°, or until the onions are starting to brown.
If you look closely, it looks like you're eating worm pizza. Yum.
Le Potager du Marais is a nice little organic restaurant serving traditional French food, adapted for vegetarians. The entire menu is vegetarian, and a good deal of it vegan, including a very wide choice of vegan desserts. The staff are friendly, and the food is mostly very good.
1. Le Potager feels very French, and that's what most visitors want from their stay in Paris. It's quaint, and there are lots of recognisably French dishes on the menu (the onion soup starter, for example, which I'm told is excellent but isn't vegan).
2. The restaurant's super practical central location, in the Marais as the name would suggest. It's a stone's throw from the Pompidou Centre (or, as it's known in Paris, 'Beaubourg'). There are plenty of nice bars in the area for an apéro before or digestif after.
3. Le Potager caters really well to most dietary requirements. People who are terrified of vegan food can go for something with cheese in it. Everybody loves cheese, after all. Ahem. It's also great for anyone with a gluten intolerance. The restaurant offers gluten-free bread, and they will happily replace 'normal' bread with its gluten-free equivalent in dishes such as the French onion soup mentioned above. Helpfully, and extremely unusually for Paris, both the vegan options and the gluten-free options are clearly marked on the menu.
To the food itself. Le Potager serves what might be my favourite restaurant starter in the city: their tartare d'algues.
I can be a bit funny about seaweed, sometimes finding it too fishy, but this is a delight. A variety of very finely chopped seaweeds, mixed (I think) with capers and shallots and bound with olive oil and maybe some lemon juice. You can buy little pots of tartare d'algues very expensively at organic shops, but Le Potager's version somehow tastes more special. Being so French, Le Potager of course provides lots of very good bread to help you scoop up your tartare. Oh, and the mushroom pâté starter is really good too.
There are some treats in the main courses part of the menu too. The nut roast doodah comes with a sublime mushroom duxelles that I can't get enough of. The croustillants are good too: a sort of fat burger made with quinoa and other tasty, healthy things. My only real qualms about the main courses are that: a) many of them come with similar, slightly insipid and often slightly cold vegetable purées on the side. The broccoli one is kind of bitter and to be avoided. And b) the chilli just isn't very good. It tastes almost exclusively of cumin.
That said, the sautéed potatoes that come with some dishes are delicious. Most main dishes also come with a salad on the side, like the beetroot and carrot one you can see above, sometimes with nice small sprouts. Oil and vinegar are provided separately, so you can dress your salad to your own taste.
Le Potager has lots of vegan desserts. I once ate a truly fantastic pear and chocolate cake here, and a very respectable tarte tatin. I'd avoid the carrot/orange flan thing though - too much agar agar or something: it doesn't quite work for me.
There's a good choice of wines.
For €25, you can have three courses. Some of my favourite dishes aren't available as part of this menu though. Funny, that. I tend to go à la carte and skip pudding, because I don't have much of a sweet tooth.
