Q: How can I make CXF ignore HTTP bindings? I'm currently trying to understand a WSDL file I've been given and why CXF (using CXF-2.7.17) would not generate a JAX-WS compliant class for this services. Here's an excerpt from the WSDL file:
<wsdl:portType name="ServiceSoap">
<wsdl:operation name="GetClient">
  <wsdl:input message="tns:GetClientSoapIn" />
  <wsdl:output message="tns:GetClientSoapOut" />
</wsdl:operation>
</wsdl:portType>
<wsdl:portType name="ServiceHttpPost">
<wsdl:operation name="GetClient">
  <wsdl:input message="tns:GetClientHttpPostIn" />
  <wsdl:output message="tns:GetClientHttpPostOut" />
</wsdl:operation>
</wsdl:portType>

<wsdl:binding name="ServiceSoap" type="tns:ServiceSoap">
<soap:binding transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" />
<wsdl:operation name="GetClient">
  <soap:operation soapAction="http://ws.comp.com/GetClient" style="document" />
  <wsdl:input>
    <soap:body use="literal" />
    <soap:header message="tns:GetClientCreds" part="Creds" use="literal" />
  </wsdl:input>
  <wsdl:output>
    <soap:body use="literal" />
  </wsdl:output>
</wsdl:operation>

<wsdl:binding name="ServiceHttpPost" type="tns:ServiceHttpPost">
<http:binding verb="POST" />
<wsdl:operation name="GetClient">
  <http:operation location="/GetClient" />
  <wsdl:input>
    <mime:content type="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" />
  </wsdl:input>
  <wsdl:output>
    <mime:mimeXml part="Body" />
  </wsdl:output>
</wsdl:operation>
</wsdl:binding>

The gist is, I have a WSDL file that contains more then my SOAP bindings, which I want CXF to turn into an actual service.
Using WSDL2Java on this WSDL file, I get the following stacktrace:
line 3168 column 66 of file:/home/user/test/Service.wsdl: cvc-complex-type.4: Attribute 'part' must appear on element 'mime:content'.

    at org.apache.cxf.tools.wsdlto.WSDLToJava.run(WSDLToJava.java:86)
    [...]

It complains about the line
<mime:content type="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" />

Which apparently comes from the cxf's built-in xsd complying to WS-I attachment profile, which requires part to be present (in contrast to the WSDL-1.1 spec).
Thus my question is:
Can I make the validator ignore these bindings?


Being on the road for almost a month, the Afro-punk band's were ready to jam in their final city for the tour, Vancouver, B.C. The bands packed up their gear and crossed the border into Canada, ready to close out the tour with a bang.
Finishing out their last city in the U.S. before heading to Canada, the Afro-punk gang gathered up their belongings and took a quick flight to Seattle, Washington.
It was time for the Afro-punk roadies to leave the west coast after a string of four shows throughout California. Leaving the warm weather, the bands headed north to their next performance city-- Portland, Oregon.
Continuing their trek throughout California, the Afro-punk bands left San Diego and made their way to one of the top cities on the Afro-punk scene, Los Angeles, California.
The weather remained warm for the Afro-punk crew as they traveled from Santa Barbara to San Diego, California-- home town of Afro-punk band, IrRAdio. Tonight's performances would be at The House of Blues, a second show night at this music venue chain while on the tour.
It was only a three hour drive from San Fransisco to the groups next destination-- Santa Barbara, California-- so the bands packed up their gear on a limo bus and headed out to their next show.
It was another great performance night in Boulder, Colorado, but the Afro-punk crew was ready to bring the music tour to the west coast and rock out San Francisco, California.
Tired and drunk after a rocking performance night in New Orleans, the Afro-punk gang packed up their bags and headed to their next destination, The Fox Theatre in Boulder, Colorado.
It was time for the Afro-punk tour bus to rock another city, so the bands took their journey to the birthplace of jazz-- New Orleans, Louisiana. After enjoying the warm weather that Orlando had to offer, the bands got in their whips and headed to their next city.
The guys were tired of cold weather and decided to steam up the tour and head to Orlando, Florida. Hoping on their buses after their performance at The Loft in Atlanta, GA, headliner Saul Williams, the Krak Attack duo, American Fangs, and Earl Greyhound drove the ten hour journey to their next destination.
The tour bus left Washington, D.C. and made way to Atlanta, Georgia-- hometown for CX Kidtronik and Tchaka Diallo. It's also the city where Saul Williams met CX while they were attending Morehouse College. The guys were excited to play at The Loft, located in the heart of Atlanta, and planned on giving their hometown an unforgettable show.
Whipping through Washington, D.C., Afro-punk meets with rock legends- Living Colour!

One of the most frustrating parts of being a professional investor is being pleased with how an investment company is doing only to see Wall Street sell it off time after time.
It's bad enough to invest other people's money into investment companies that do poorly, but when the one's that are doing well get crushed, it's hard not to heave a big sigh.
I was reminded of this ever-present need for patience watching a couple portfolio companies report earnings this week.
In both cases, I was pleasantly surprised to see things were going better than expected only to find Wall Street selling the companies down to the tune of 5% and 10% one-day losses. Why, oh why?
The answer may be frustrating, but it is simple. 1) Wall Street doesn't focus on the same metrics as rational owners. 2) Wall Street is focused on 6-9 month results because that's its average holding period.
Wall Street is enamored with certain metrics that business owners care much less about. In retail, it's same store sales. In computers, it's market share. In telecommunications, it's new customer additions.
I don't mean to imply that such metrics would be unimportant to rational owners, but they wouldn't necessarily be the all-consuming focus that it is to Wall Street.
What matters most to owners? Cash flow. How much money came in and how much money did was spend to get it. That's it.
Warren Buffett calls it owners earnings–the earnings an owner could use to build the business, buy back stock, pay off debt or pay a fat dividend.
An easy way to think about this number is to look at a company's cash flow statement: subtract maintenance capital expenditures (capex required to keep the same level of sales and profits) from cash flow from operations.
Perhaps a couple of other adjustments may be necessary, but in general that's it.
Both of my portfolio companies reported strong free cash flows.
A retailer reported 12 month free cash flows that are a mere 5.6x current price, or a free cash flow yield of 17.9%. It's price was down 5% that day.
A computer company reported quarterly free cash flows that are a mere 5.7x current price (minus cash on the balance sheet), or a 17.5% free cash flow yield. It's price was down 10%.
Owners of such companies would be salivating to have such returns in a lousy economic environment like this. But, Wall Street is not full of stock owners. It's full of renters.
Renters don't care what will happen over the long term (even 3-5 years, it seems). They are just in it for the quick "kill." Does anyone wash a rented car?
With a time horizon of 6-9 months, Wall Street doesn't care about free cash flow yields. All they want is to beat "estimates." Estimates of what? You may have guessed: market share, incremental revenues, same-store sales, new customer adds, average revenue per user, etc.
What matters to owners? Free cash flows to price. That's the bottom line.
I know I'm whining, but I also know that patience is well-rewarded in the end. Eventually, Wall Street does wake up to free cash flow yields. Eventually they notice how much value resides in businesses that throw off a lot of cash relative to price.
It takes a lot of patience to wait for that fish to come in. But, when it does, my whining sighs turn into war-whoops of triumph.
I'll spare you the academic citations, but there's a solid body of evidence that value investing beats growth investing over the long run.
If it works so well, why isn't everyone a value investor?
The hard part in value investing is point 3).
No one is surprised that you can determine the value of a business.
Not many are surprised (finance and economics academics excluded) that stock prices diverge from value.
The hard part is that first phrase in point 3), "at some point in time." How long do you have to wait for "at some point in time"? As Shakespeare put it, there's the rub.
No value investor knows when the herd mentality of the stock market will converge on underlying value. Why not? You might as well as ask why a weather expert can't predict how many inches of rain will fall on one square inch of land in Bowie, Maryland during a 12 hour period on June 30, 2014. The system is simply too complex for an accurate prediction to be made.
And, as any value investor can tell you (ask Bill Miller), it seldom works the way you think it will.
If the company you've bought consistently reports growing earnings per share, surely then the market will converge. No, it doesn't.
Sometimes price converges on value without any news whatsoever. Sometimes price converges when a company announced declining earnings for quarters on end. Most of the time, while you wait, it doesn't converge at all.
You simply can't know when it will happen.
I've seen it happen in one day, and I've seen it take over 7 years.
And, that's why it works. Most people don't have the patience to wait. They want prices to go up soon…today…RIGHT NOW!!!
Value investing works because few people have the intestinal fortitude to wait.
It's like asking an overweight person about losing weight or a poor person how to become wealthy. They both know the answer. The overweight person will tell you it requires a good diet and exercise, but they won't do it. The poor person will explain that you need to spend less than you make to become wealthy, and yet they won't do it.
The reason it works is not because people don't understand what to do, but because it hurts to do it.
That's why I say that value investors get paid to endure pain. It's painful to wait if you don't know when price will reflect value. It's painful to buy something cheap just to watch it become dramatically cheaper. It's painful to watch fundamental performance deteriorate even though you know it will improve several years from now.
Anyone who has done their homework knows what it takes to beat the market. Value businesses, buy when price is significantly below value, sell when price reflects value. Everyone knows it, but hardly anyone does it.
Why? Because it's painful. But, boy, does it work!

Q: How $N \subseteq L$ implies $\mathrm{Ann}(L) \subseteq \mathrm{Ann}(N)$? At page 460 of the book Algebra by Dummit it is written that $N \subseteq L$ implies $\mathrm{Ann}(L) \subseteq \mathrm{Ann}(N)$.
Recall that for any submodule $N$ of $M$, the annihilator of $N$ is the ideal of $R$ defined by $\mathrm{Ann}(N) = {\{r \in R \ | \ rn = 0 \ \ \ \text{for all} \ n \in N}\}$.
Suppose $a\in L-N$. Therefore there is some $r \in R$ such that $ra=0$. This $r$ doesn't need to be in $\mathrm{Ann}(N)$ then $\mathrm{Ann}(N) \subseteq \mathrm{Ann}(L)$ but not the reverse!
What is wrong with my argument and how $N \subseteq L$ implies $\mathrm{Ann}(L) \subseteq \mathrm{Ann}(N)$?

A: The implication is simple enough. Because $N\subseteq L$, the condition "$nr=0$ for all $n\in N$" is less restrictive than "$nl=0$ for all $l\in L$": There are fewer elements that $r$ has to kill in order to be part of the annihilator of $N$. Therefore it is possible that there are more $r$ that fulfills that condition. At the very least, an $r$ that kills every $l\in L$ must kill any and all $n\in N$.
The problem with your approach is that the set that you argue is smaller than $\operatorname{Ann}(N)$ is really $\operatorname{Ann}(a)$. You're only checking whether the relevant $r$ kills $a$ (note that those two annihilators are generally incomparable, since there might just as well be $r$ such that $ra\neq0$ and $rn=0$ for all $n\in N$).
But for $r$ to be an element of $\operatorname{Ann}(L)$, it has to kill every element of $L$, including $a$, but also including the rest of $L-N$ as well as all of $N$.

Q: Problems with Cache in Firefox when i upload my app to web server Can anyone help? I have been designing a site using Javascript but the rest of the html content is static ie. images etc
When i load my page in Firefox i have to clear the cache..
I remember a long time ago there was something you could add to the html to force a reload.
My question is, is this a good thing? I presume it caches for a reason i.e to cahce images etc..  But this causes my pages not to refresh
And how to do it?
Really appreciate any feedback

A: If you want only the js to be loaded afresh everytime, and leave everything else to load from cache, you can add a version number to the js include line like so:
<script src="scripts.js?v=5643" type="text/javascript"></script>

Change the version number (?v=num) part each time you change the js file. This forces the browser to get the js file from the server.
Note: Your actual file name will be the same - scripts.js
For disabling cache for all files, if you're using apache, put this in your httpd.conf
<Directory "/home/website/cgi-bin/">
    Header Set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-store"
</Directory>

You can also put a meta tag on your html like so:
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />

More info on this here

A: For web pages you can how the page is cached in the HTTP Header.  You should look at Expires if you have a particular date for the cache to expire or Cache-Control for dynamic expiration based on when the page was requested.  Here's a pretty good tutorial that covers how cache works and covers set up on the major web servers.

A: Try pressing Control + F5 when you load your page in FireFox-- this should clear your browser's cache of the page and reload cleanly for you.

EY: 56% global firms chasing mergers & acquisitions
11 May 2015 Consultancy.uk 2 min. read
More news on
The global appetite for mergers & acquisitions has reached its the highest point in five years, EY's Global Capital Confidence Barometer shows. With companies more confident in the global economy and expectant of an improved deal market, 56% of companies will actively pursue an acquisition in the coming year and 47% plans to complete more deals than the year before.
Professional services firm EY recently released the twelfth edition of its biannual 'Global Capital Confidence Barometer', for which it surveyed than 1,600 senior executives from large companies in 54 countries and across industry sectors.
The barometer shows that confidence in the global economy is returning, with 83% of respondents now feeling optimistic as they believe the economy is improving, up from 53% six months ago and 60% last year. According to EY, this improved confidence provides strong foundations for deal intentions, with almost all respondents (98%) expecting the deal market to improve or remain at its current levels in the coming year.
More than half (56%) of global companies indicate an expectation to actively pursue acquisitions in the coming year, 25% more than in the same period last year and an 16% more than in six months ago, representing the highest appetite to acquire recorded by the survey in five years. More than three-quarters (78%) of companies have changed their M&A strategy as a result of increased deal activity in 2014, either planning relatively larger deals (31%), considering more mid-sized deals (26%), or planning deals in different sub-segments (21%).
Almost half (43%) of companies plans to complete one acquisition in the coming year, around a third (36%) plans to complete two, and 10% three. Comparing this to the prior 12 months, 47% intend to complete more deals in the coming 12 months than they did in the past 12. Underlining a firmly entrenched M&A resurgence, EY indicates.
The number deals in pipeline also increased compared to last year, with 19%, from 2.273 in 2014 to 2.695 in 2015. Especially the firms with the largest pipelines are planning to further increase the number of targets in the next year, with 63% of companies with four deals in their current pipeline and 61% of those with five or more deals planning to increase their deal pipeline.
Commenting on the results, Pip McCrostie, EY's Global Vice Chair of Transaction Advisory Services, says: "M&A turned a corner in 2014, with deals once again being seen as a route to growth*. 2015 will see a surge of new entrants and companies returning to the M&A market to generate future growth."
* Grant Thornton recently released similar research into the global appetite of businesses for mergers and acquisitions (M&A), with a focus on mid-sized enterprises, showing that a third of businesses plan to grow through an M&A in the coming three years.

Birmingham Scoop – Day 3 – Netball Scoop
August 1, 2022 c_admin Netball Comments Off on Birmingham Scoop – Day 3 – Netball Scoop
Sunday 31st July
Make sure you tune into Day 2 of our Vlog – for plenty of player and coach interviews, including Paige Hadley on her injury, Eleanor Cardwell, Tamsin Greenway, and Mary Cholhok.
Malawi 54 def Northern Ireland 41
South Africa 91 def Barbados 36
Uganda 62 def Trinidad & Tobago 28
Wales 48 def Scotland 42
There was an uproar on social media yesterday, when the BBC didn't televise two live matches, between New Zealand and Uganda, and the crucial clash between Jamaica and South Africa. Believing that all netball matches across the Games would be shown it came as a rude shock to local fans when they couldn't find them on television, or get an answer as to why they weren't available.
While all sports deserve coverage, the communication issues were particularly taxing. Along with fans not being able to watch the games, it limited the ability of teams to scout each other from the comfort of their hotel, and umpires to assess their own performances.
However, never underestimate the power of social media. With athletes, coaches and fans all taking to the airwaves, the BBC will hopefully provide some answers.
Once again, Malawi didn't make their injury time out changes quickly enough, and were penalised by leaving a player off court until the next centre pass. While they've had uniform challenges and may not have a set of bibs to spare, the changes need to be slicker and could prove to be costly. Trinidad & Tobago also had bib issues, with two players sporting one GD and GK bib each for a while.
The Commonwealth Games are known as the 'Friendly Games' for many reasons, and the support between athletes is incredible. In today's match, Shonette Azore-Bruce received a ball to the face. In some distress, she was helped by opposition captain Bongiwe Msomi, who was on the sidelines in a tracksuit, and herself sitting out through injury.
It was a rest day for the four top ranked nations, with Australia, England, New Zealand and Jamaica all having 24 hours off before facing their next opponent. With some athletes already carrying injuries – Paige Hadley and Jo Harten in particular – the break will give them extra time to prepare for their next test.
Netball Scoop likes to celebrate player and umpire milestones, and sadly, with no 2022 media guide available for the Commonwealth Games, are having to rely on having our ears to the ground to pick up these important occasions. So apologies if we miss some – please let us know!
It's been dubbed the 'Friendly Games' and in moments like this, you can see why.
Michelle Magee (Ireland) took a hard knock to the head and was seen icing it during the break. She played on, however will likely be on concussion watch. Coach Elaine Rice said, "She will not lie down, our girls don't lie down. But she will be well looked after."
South Africa's Shadine van der Merwe has an injury niggle, while Bongiwe Msomi is feeling the impact of her heavy fall yesterday, and so were rested, according to head coach Dorette Badenhorst.
Shonette Azore-Bruce (Barbados) took a hit to the face and had to sub off after time was called. At the end of the game she left wearing an eye patch.
Congratulations to Bethan Dyke, who took the court for her 50th test cap today.

STAT CHAT
Khanyisa Chawane (South Africa) – 41 feeds, 33 assists
Nicola Smith (South Africa) – 8 possession gains and 5 pickups
Phumza Maweni (South Africa) – 8 pickups
Towera Vinkhumbo (Malawi) – 6 pickups, 4 intercepts
Joan Nampungu (Uganda) – 7 gains and 6 pickups
Shaquanda Greene-Noel (Trinidad & Tobago) – 9 possession gains in a losing side.
Kristina Shaw (Wales) – 8 possession gains
PLAYERS OF THE DAY
Elmere Van der Berg continued her promising debut, in a strong game for South Africa. Mixing up movement and holding position in the circle, she converted 47/49 (96%) in her 45 minute appearance, while also pulling in four rebounds.
Georgia Rowe was a tower of strength under the post for Wales, shooting 36/38, at 100% accuracy.
It was also a day for defence, with Northern Ireland's Fi Toner (6 gains) and Niamh Cooper (3 gains at WD and C), South Africa's Phumza Maweni (8 pickups), and Malawi's Martha Dambo (6 gains) and Towera Vinkhumbo (7 gains) all in good form for their teams.

Malawi 54 defeated Northern Ireland 41 (12-11, 13-10, 17-7, 12-13)
The match started physically with the Northern Ireland goalers struggling to adjust to the extra attention from Towera Vinkhumbo and Caroline Mtukule. The defence expertly restricted the goaler's movements and forced numerous attempts which created opportunities for Malawi in gains. However by the end of the first term, Emma Magee and Ciara Crosbie fell into a rhythm and were not so easily rattled, nor drawn into the physicality.
Takondwa Lawzi had an enthralling mid court battle with Northern Ireland captain, Caroline O'Hanlon. In the early stages of the match, Lawazi restricted O'Hanlon's access to the circle edge and even picked off a stunning pocket intercept.
Northern Ireland's experienced defender, Fi Toner, matched up well against Mwai Kumwenda – who also stars for the Melbourne Vixens, taking rebounds despite their height differential. Toner also proved pivotal in transition play and led her side in intercepts, collecting 5 for the match.
Shooting accuracy was a concern for Northern Ireland – despite being a vast improvement on their first match. During the third term, it dropped to as low as 70% which Malawi exploited by snaffling rebounds and converting at the other end. Unsurprisingly, this was the quarter where Malawi seized control of the game.
Two vastly different styles of play were on show in this match. Malawi were dynamic and aerial and Northern Ireland were patient and kept the ball low. Malawi were courageous in letting the ball go from virtually anywhere, with several balls launched from the mid third to the goal circle.
In contrast, Northern Ireland's patience was, at times, to their detriment, particularly in the circle where they lost the ball through playing it around too much. Other times, it worked in their favour when trying to work the ball across the transverse through smothering Malawi defence.
Both teams will take a lot of confidence from this match into their much tougher opposition on Day 4 games.

South Africa 91 defeated Barbados 36 (23-9, 20-9, 23-9, 25-9)
South Africa got their first points of the tournament in Birmingham with a commanding 55-goal win over Barbados. After yesterday's tough encounter with Jamaica, the South Africans chose to rest captain Bongi Msomi and Shadine van der Merwe in today's game. The remaining ten players easily accounted for their opposition.
Barbados could only score nine goals in each quarter, as they struggled against a relentless Proteas' defence which came up with 23 possession gains, including 13 intercepts. Nicola Smith stood out with eight gains of her own in just three quarters, while Phumza Maweni cleaned up loose ball time and again, finishing with eight pickups.
The absence of Msomi and van der Merwe was barely noticed as South Africa brought the ball down court with relative ease. The midcourt duo of Khanyisa Chawane and Izette Griesel combined for an astonishing 60 goal assists, while Elmere van der Berg shone at goal shooter, scoring at better than a goal a minute. All four shooters were given court time and a reflection of South Africa's dominance was that they were able to put up 101 attempts in 60 minutes.
By comparison, Barbados had just 45 attempts. The Bajan players found it difficult to find space, and were often stagnant when in possession. Under pressure, their passes were regularly snapped up by an eager South African defence. When the ball did find its way to Latonia Blackman and Shonica Wharton, they were able to shoot at a respectable 80%. But they didn't have as many opportunities as they should have.
South Africa will now prepare for their big clash with Australia tomorrow, while things don't get any easier for Barbados, up against the might of their Caribbean rivals, Jamaica.

Trinidad & Tobago took to the court with steely intent against their more favoured rivals, Uganda. In a low scoring match, both teams initially ran goal for goal, before Uganda started to pull away. Trinidad & Tobago made numerous changes but to little avail, as Uganda pounced on any loosely placed passes.
One of Uganda's more experienced midcourters, Stella Oyella, found good position on the edge of the circle, from which point passes to Mary Cholhok rarely went astray. Cholhok's height in the circle was a challenge for Shaquanda Greene, but the feisty goal keeper got up to any misplaced high balls. She and goal defence Aniecia Baptiste pulled out the most spectacular lift of the tournament at one point, to intercept the ball.
Trinidad & Tobago struggled in attack, with the ball being turned over on numerous occasions through passing errors, and the pressure applied by Uganda's wing defence Sandra Nambirige and goal defence Joan Nampungu.
Hesitation around the circle on the feed was also costly, but goal shooter Afiehsha Noel kept the crowd on their toes with a strong display of long range shooting.
The byplay between Greene and umpire Tara Warner was entertaining, with Greene eloquently pleading her case at times, and having a very long chat to the umpires at half time.
Trinidad & Tobago continued to ring the changes, with Baptiste showing her versatility moving to centre, while Uganda also swapped out their shooting circle. While it wasn't Trinidad & Tobago's night, they showed growth across the game.

Wales 48 def Scotland 42 (12-7, 14-8, 15-13, 7-14)
A physically ferocious contest between world number 8 and 9, Scotland and Wales, was the match of the day. After Wales failed to qualify for the 2019 Netball World Cup, they had a point to prove at this tournament. There were quality match-ups all over the court, with two of the best being the wing attack/wing defence battle between Bethan Dyke/Claire Maxwell, and Iona Christian/Nia Jones.
Regularly used as a back door option at centre pass, Jones attacked hard down court, and also got her hand to plenty of ball in defence. Jones took an equal game high 19 centre passes, allowing Dyke to set up further down court, and hit the circle edge with speed.
It was a significant advantage for Wales having two tall and accurate shooters in Betsy Creak and the dominant Georgia Rowe, who finished with 89% accuracy. In contrast, early misses by Scotland shooting at 54% accuracy in the early stages of the match, gifted turnovers to Wales.
Trailing by 11 goals at half time, Scotland found it a challenge to make inroads against Wales, who were secure with the ball. Their ball movement through court was timed with precision, with multiple options in attack.
A spirited comeback by the Thistles in the final quarter narrowed the score difference to six, but some critical errors and shooting rate of 68% accuracy will haunt them across the tournament, unless they can lift. Wales face South Africa tomorrow, and pushed them hard in match play just before the Commonwealth Games.

Girl Fight Review
PSNReviewsXBLA
By Hang-Veng Ly On Oct 30, 2013
Girl Fight has its fair share of issues to say the least. For one, calling the game Girl Fight is a telltale sign of who the target audience is going to be and ultimately what themes we can expect from an all girl brawler.
Maybe to developers' Kung Fu Factory it seemed like a prime concept to capture an adolescent male audience fixated on sexualised females but Girl Fight misses the mark entirely.
Developer: Team Ninja (Partnership with Sega AM2)
Publisher: Microprose
Platform: Xbox LIVE, PlayStation Network (Reviewed)
Players: Single, Multi-Player
Genre: Beat 'Em Up
Release: (INT) October 2nd, 2013
The story centers on an all female cast of playable characters with Psi fighting abilities, taken hostage by an evil science organisation known as THE FOUNDATION (all caps) who seem adamant on harnessing these ladies as the ultimate biological weapon. You'll need to battle your way through a virtual reality arena to escape back into reality. The plot is paper thin and serves as nothing but a reason for some girl on girl action.
Things kick off with War Child, a buxom fighter blessed with a bountiful rack, held together by a well positioned jacket. The other females all have their own sense of sex appeal, albeit cliché in design. Customisation options are available on a cosmetic level, but there's the more important choice of selecting one of two Psionic abilities for use during fights.
By inflicting damage on your opponent, a "Psi" gauge fills up and once full can be tapped into to access your special Psi move. The abilities are interesting, from putting up a temporary shield, to health regen, and going invisible for a short period of time. These moves can help to swing a match back into your favour if executed at the right time.
Girl Fight isn't particularly difficult, with a series of button mashing combos learnt through experimentation more than enough to see you to the end of the game. If you wanted to, you could learn some of the moves to feel like you've accomplished something, although pressing on through the eight opponents in story mode will only take you the better part of fifteen odd minutes to complete.
There is a training mode, although it does a poor job of instructing new players how to battle as it doesn't actually teach you how to perform any moves or combos. It's more of an exercise into button mashing and finding a string of commands that work together as seamlessly as possible. There are move sets to view via the game menu, although commands aren't listed as buttons but as P, K, D and G, leaving you to your own devices to figure out what is what on the controller.
Although the graphics aren't up to par to a beat 'em up like the polished Dead or Alive 5, it still flows well enough for me to appreciate the technical work that's gone into Girl Fight. Boob physics has been given extra attention to; maybe even too much given the characters seem to be without voices, only able to express themselves through a series of grunts and battle sound bytes. At least the music is catchy with its popping tunes working nicely to add a bit of fire to the cyber-space environment.
Winning matches rewards credits which can be spent to purchase new Psi abilities, or less useful extras such as character bios and concept art of the characters wearing not very much at all. You can browse and zoom in on your favourite ladies, exploring away to your heart's content.
The online mode lets you test your fighting prowess against the community which works fairly well given this isn't a high end budget release. It's just a shame there aren't too many players yet but it has potential if you can find dedicated gamers who are willing to learn the ins-and-outs of the battle mechanics.
Girl Fight has more flaws than features, largely attributed to its all female line-up and lack of any real innovation. At least if Kung Fu Factory included a varied roster of fighters, the game could be taken seriously as a legitimate beat 'em up and not just an excuse to peddle sex to teenage boys.
Think back to 2005's Fighting Angels on PlayStation 2 and you'll get my point. Never heard of Fighting Angels? Exactly. Girl Fight is forgettable and is more likely disappear into obscurity than spawn a sequel.
4.0 – Below Average. Decent but sadly delivers one too many design faults; disappointing and a missed opportunity. There may have been some genuine good but it is quickly lost behind the bad.

This post appeared previously on Skilroads.
If you think you are too old to get a job, keep your chin up! Here are some useful tips that will show you how to stay competitive and even stand out from younger job hunters. Yes, unfortunately, it takes older job seekers much longer to find a job. But by implementing these strategies you can promote your candidacy for employer and minimize age impact on your career success.
Getting older can be challenging in the recruitment process, but don't let your age hinder your career prosperity. We will show you how to succeed at the interview, how to write resumes for older workers returning to work and cover letter for experienced professional. These tips are a great help for older job seekers.
From the very beginning you have to stay positive and to realize that your age is your biggest asset. You are much more experienced and responsible than younger candidates and you possess many skills and knowledge that can lead you to an unconditional success.
In this case you definitely have an advantage. You have much wider and deeper network. During your long career you have acquired many useful contacts. Use all resources in your job search. In fact, networking is one of the best ways to find a job, especially for senior job seekers. You can always reach your university's alumni center and get contacts in a career field you are interested in.
It is never too late to change your profession. Don't be afraid – it is a great chance for you to pursue a career in a new working field. Your transition is more likely to be successful. In the first place, it's necessary to do homework, research companies and requirements.
Following the previous tip, job retraining for older workers can be crucial, especially if you want to switch your career. Despite all your experience you may have to acquire some new additional knowledge to succeed. It is a great opportunity for you to enrich your store of knowledge. After analyzing all requirements for a desired position, take the necessary courses or consider volunteering.
Many employers express a lot of concerns about mature applicants because they may not keep up with technologies. Therefore, it can cause potential bias. Show that you have many technical skills. Being computer-literate is a must nowadays. If you have some problems with it, it's highly advisable to take some computer classes.
Many employers actively use social media for candidate sourcing. So, if you still don't have a LinkedIn profile, get it immediately. It will show that you are technology savvy.
Resume for older job seekers differs from a common resume. So it's high time to update it!
In order to write successful resumes for over 50 years olds it's better to consider a functional or combination resume format. A functional format will emphasize your skills and achievements whereas a combination format will also highlight your experience.
Here are useful format tips to create the best adjusted resume for seniors.
Your main goal is to accent on your best skills and main accomplishments as well as to persuade a recruiter that you are the best fit for the position.
Every resume should contain your current contact information. It's better to follow this order: name, telephone, email, LinkedIn profile.
This section is very important, but don't include dates. It can indicate your age. Graduation years may be useful for fresh outs only, but it's recommended to eliminate this information in resumes for older job seekers.
Keep it simple: include name of institution attended, city, state and degree obtained.
Your professional background is valuable and impressive, but resumes for older professionals should contain only vacancy-related experience. There is no need to list all your extensive but irrelevant background. Focus on your recent jobs, limit it to last 15 years and highlight your main duties.
Post retirement resumes should highlight essential skills required for a job you are applying for. Include your technical skills. Show that you are up-to-date with all modern technologies, but don't list any outdated programs, include only the latest you are familiar with.
Take care of a good presentation. An old-fashioned resume will not work for you. You can check out some resume templates. This is a daunting task, but modern technologies are called for to facilitate resume writing for experienced professionals. Online resume builders will come in handy if you don't know where to start or how to write a modern-looking resume.
A cover letter is the best solution for older job seekers to smooth all age-related issues. If you struggle with creating your own, you can find sample cover letters for older workers and use it as an example, but these tips will be useful for everyone.
Cover letters can increase your chances to get a job. It is a highly effective communication between you and employer that will stress your accomplishments that fit to a job opening. It's tempting to show decades of your experience, but it's better to restrain and mention only the most recent job history. The more relevant your background is, the more valuable candidate you can become. It's important to customize your cover letter to each specific position. Accent on the fact that you are an energetic, adaptable job seeker that is willing to learn. Also, it is your chance to demonstrate your written communication skills and your business writing abilities. After you have finished your cover letter give it to your friend or family member to find eventual spelling or grammar errors.
If you are the lucky one to be invited for an interview there is still some work to do for you. The interview is a main part of the employment process. Thorough preparation is a key for you to land a job. These strategies will certainly help you.
Research infomation about the company, its history and culture. There are plenty of jobs for older professionals. Read a role description carefully in order to get a better understanding of what the job is about. If you haven't been interviewed for a long time, refresh and update your interview skills and knowledge. You can even role play a forthcoming interview with family.
While interviewing older adults, a recruiter may ask a bunch of questions to determine how old are you. You can find online the most common interview questions for older adults and eventual answers that will help you to pass an interview successfully without getting confused.
Especially for older applicants. The way you look is crucial. Pay attention to your appearance because first impressions last. Invest in your new business wardrobe. Make sure your interview attire is age-appropriate but at the same time contemporary. Even your hair can make you look younger and fresher. Professional coloring is a great solution and it will take years off.
Your posture and tone of voice can create a positive impression. A confident and energetic job seeker will draw a recruiter's attention. Don't forget to give a firm handshake and always keep eye contact. Sit up straight and never cross your arms. Always smile and stay positive during your interview.
Be ready to start in a lower level position. Experienced candidates are often considered very expensive. In addition, employers often cast doubt on older applicant's willingness to work for a younger manager. Show that you are ready to work with younger people or secure some written recommendations. If possible, share some examples when you worked successfully under the direction of younger administrator.
Show your enthusiasm and willingness to work. Convince your manager that you are not ready to retire and you have new career goals. It's also highly important to show that you eager to learn new things. Consider your experience as your biggest asset. Discuss some problems you have faced and solutions you have brought to these challenges. Emphasize your technical skills and knowledge. Show that you are adaptable and can fit the position.

Evaluation of Nipa perennial seed-forage plant (Distichlis palmeri) in order to develop agricultural sustainability of coastal saline ecosystems
Document Type : Review paper
Mohammad Reza Zargaran Khouzani
Department of Agrotechnology, Majoring in Ecological Plants of Khuzestan University of Agricultural, Ahvaz, Iran
10.22034/CAJPSI.2021.04.03
Nipa with the scientific name of Distichlis palmeri is a perennial plant of the Poaceae family; Which is a plant that tolerates irrigation with salt water. It is a drought-tolerant plant local to the northern shores of the Gulf of California in Mexico and grows in salt marshes affected by sea tides. This plant is wildling and produces grains like wheat. Nipa seeds provide most of the food needed by Cocopah natives in the Rio Colorado Delta. Researchers have studied the physiological, anatomical, genetic and agronomic potential of this valuable plant as a potential food crop. The researchers found that Nipa seeds would germinate in the salinity range of 0-30 grams per liter of water and between 60 and 93 percent. The relative growth rate of the Nipa plant in two types of flooded and non-flooded soils affected by salinity (30 g of salt per liter) reaches about 50% of the relative growth of the plant in freshwater. This perennial seed, which is now considered one of the most important species for centuries, is a plant suitable for saline tropical regions and beyond. Nipa development should be a high priority for institutions and officials related to food security, desalination and climate change. It also provides an opportunity for entrepreneurship and agricultural development to develop, rehabilitate and protect coastal areas from severe weather events.
Nipa is now considered one of the most important species for centuries, a plant suitable for saline tropical regions and beyond.
So far, few articles have been published on the evaluation of growth rate, salinity tolerance, flood tolerance, physiological adaptation, grain yield and nutritional needs of the Nipa plant in order to introduce this plant as a new crop and perennial tolerant to saline water.
Nipa development should be a high priority for institutions and officials related to food security, desalination and climate change, and while providing a platform for entrepreneurship and agricultural development, it should be a good opportunity to develop, rehabilitate and protect coastal areas.

I really thought I had pretty good parenting skills but lately it doesn't feel like that. My precious angel has reached a stage where he's not quite as precious anymore . I love him but can I go back to the days where he didn't move around so much and wasn't into everything ALL THE TIME?
Hours of searching later, I have come up with a few solutions.
When he starts getting frustrated and wants to hit anything and everything in his path, I just pick him up and hold him until it is over. Sometimes I wish I had ear plugs during this, but it keeps him safe and it seems like the tantrum is over sooner.
I keep toys he likes all over the house, so if he's getting into something, I can distract him. It keeps the peace and I don't have to say no. I am trying to only use terms like that when he is going to do something that will cause him to get hurt.
As for throwing himself on the floor… I just let it play out. Usually when he sees that no one is paying attention to the tantrum, he quits.
So far this link on positive parenting has been my favorite resource.
What do you do when your child is like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?

Q: Can't get WCF rest service working over HTTPS We have a ASP.NET application running and i have added a WCF Rest service to it. Locally and when deployed on test environments this works fine. The issue is when we deploy to our production environment, which is only HTTPS.
I have searched and read most of the answers online and have tried so many things. All with no luck.
Here is our simple code
[ServiceContract]
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public class ReportingService
{
    public ReportingService()
    {
        Thread.CurrentPrincipal = HttpContext.Current.User;
    }

    [OperationContract]
    [WebGet(UriTemplate = "get/{id}", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
    [PrincipalPermission(SecurityAction.Demand)]
    public List<RawReportTable> GetReport(string id)
    {
        ...
    }
}

In Global.asax.cs we have
RouteTable.Routes.Add(new ServiceRoute("api/reporting", new WebServiceHostFactory(), typeof(ReportingService)));

In our web.config we have the following defined for system.serviceModel

<standardEndpoints>
  <webHttpEndpoint>
    <standardEndpoint name="api" helpEnabled="true" automaticFormatSelectionEnabled="true" maxBufferSize="500000" maxReceivedMessageSize="500000">

      <security mode="Transport" />
    </standardEndpoint>

</standardEndpoints>

</services>

<bindings>
  <webHttpBinding>
    <binding name="webBinding">
      <security mode="Transport" />
    </binding>
  </webHttpBinding>
</bindings>

With this set up I get the following errors:
    Request Error: The server encountered an error processing the request. See server logs for more details.
I thought (and some example show) that I no longer need the services/endpoint stuff in the configuration as it is registered in the routing.
Removing that part we still get the same error. I have tried lots of different configurations, all with no luck.
The weird thing is /api/reporting/help actually shows. Just can't use any of the services.
Anybody have any idea? I'm hoping it is something simple I have missed.
Thanks all
Edit
I believe it is to do with the
    [PrincipalPermission(SecurityAction.Demand)]
We use this to make sure the user is authenticated and we can access the token. I've found PrincipalPermission.Demand() failing once WCF Service was moved to SSL which sadly doesn't have an answer to it.

A: Hate to answer my own question, but after reading Rajesh's message I looked into the error more. As my edit says it was related to the PrincipalPermission attribute. If I removed that it was running my code and failing in my authentication.
So back to searching the internet and I found http://forums.silverlight.net/t/34954.aspx/1
I just added  to the serviceBehaviours. So it looks like
<serviceBehaviors>
    <behavior name="">
        <serviceDebug httpHelpPageEnabled="true" includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
        <serviceAuthorization principalPermissionMode="None"/>
    </behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>

Now it works, I can call my services and get rejected unless I am authenticated etc. Yay
Hopefully this helps someone else with this issue

Lebanon: Internal Strife
By Alex Judson, Suffield, CT
"A certain hunter…came one day upon a cave in the mountains, where he found a hollow full of bee's honey. So he took somewhat thereof and carried it to the city, followed by a hunting dog which was dear to him. He stopped at the shop of an oilman and offered him honey for sale…As he emptied it that he might see it, a drop fell to the ground, whereupon flies flocked to it and a bird swooped down upon the flies. Now the oilman had a cat, which pounced upon the bird, and the hunter's dog sprang upon the cat and killed it; whereupon the oilman ran at the dog and killed it and the hunter in turn sprang upon the oilman and killed him. Now the oilman was of one village and the hunter of another; and when the people of the two villages heard what had passed, they took arms and rose on one another in anger, and the sword continued to play amongst then until many of the people died…"
Peace brings happiness and serenity to the world, yet peace seems merely a concept, for it is so far away in the Middle East. Two countries, Lebanon and Israel, have rarely been able to experience sustained peace since the 1970s. Before understanding the conflict in Lebanon and Israel, one must understand a brief background of each country.
Both countries are located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Lebanon is a small country, about the size of Connecticut, which consists of about four million people. Two-fifths of Lebanese are Christian, while three-fifths are Muslim. On the other hand, Israel is a little larger, about the size of New Jersey, with six and a half million inhabitants. One-fourth of Israel consists of Arabs while the other three-fourths are made up of Jews. Both countries are extremely similar and vary mostly by religion.
Ever since Israel's formation in 1948, Israelis have virtually been sitting on a volcano, always fearing an eruption of war and violence. In the 1970s and 1980s, Lebanon had a very weak, inefficient, and often corrupt central government with a greatly differentiated social structure. Thus, a terrorist group known as the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was able to form in Lebanon, with the goal of regaining their original homeland that Israel had "taken" away from them. In 1975, civil war broke out in Lebanon, because the PLO was forming a state within Lebanon. The civil war crippled the government and destroyed the capital city, Beirut. Since the PLO was also launching guerilla raids against Israel from Lebanese soil, the Israeli army was forced to enter Lebanon in June of 1982. The Israeli army remained in southern Lebanon until 2000. By the new millennium, Lebanon and Israel reached what seemed like a peaceful plateau. Beirut was rebuilt and became a popular vacation city and business center. Lebanon's government had grown stronger and political leaders had revised the constitution. Balance of power was achieved, as only Christians could run for presidency, only Sunni Muslims could run for prime minister, and only Shi'a Muslims could become speaker of parliament. The relations between Israel and Lebanon looked promising until July 12, 2006.
During this thirty year intermission, the PLO in Lebanon had been replaced by Hezbollah, or "Party of God." Hezbollah was formed in the early 1980s with the goal of ending Israeli invasion of Lebanon. Wednesday, July 12 took the entire world by shock. Hezbollah guerillas captured two Israeli soldiers, killing many others and sparking war in the south of Lebanon. Lebanese residents, hoarding canned goods and batteries, claimed that it was as if the civil war had returned. On July 17, Hezbollah unleashed its biggest and deadliest missile into Israel, killing eight people in Haifa, a major city. This action prompted Israeli militia to drive their army into Lebanon and sent Israeli warplanes into Lebanon, killing 45 and wounding more than 100. On August 13, 2006, the United Nations Security Council approved a resolution for a truce, agreed between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel and Prime Minister Fouad Siniora of Lebanon. Yet, Hezbollah leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah claimed that the resolution had not changed anything. "Nasrallah claimed 'The war did not end, because the aggression [was] still going on,' and added that his forces would stop fighting only 'when the Israeli aggression stops' and Israel's troops leave Lebanon." After a meeting that lasted over five hours, Lebanese government officials finally approved the cease-fire plan, despite some "reservations" from the two Hezbollah ministers in the cabinet. The two ministers believed that the resolution blamed Hezbollah for the war and seemed to vindicate Israel. Following, Lebanon deployed fifteen hundred soldiers to the south of Lebanon, who joined an international peace keeping force and the ten hundred Israeli soldiers already in place.
In order to understand the obligations and ideals behind the situation, it is important to examine Hezbollah, and not to automatically deem them unauthorized because they are a terrorist group. Hezbollah was the region's leading radical Islamic movement, and was embracing the Palestinian cause as Hezbollah had said publicly that it was ready to fight against Israel. For years, Iran and Syria have provided Hezbollah with funding and weapons to support the Palestinian cause. As attacks on Israeli targets increased, the military aid followed. To this day, the most concerning part of Hezbollah are its tactics. For numerous years, Hezbollah carried out suicide bombings and kidnappings. However because of Hezbollah's funding from Iran and Syria, a dynamic welfare program has been established, which continues to benefit thousands of Lebanese people. Recently, Hezbollah has gained considerable support in Lebanon. Hezbollah's social service program is popular within the Shi'a community. Despite all of this, the United States government still lists Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, while the Lebanese government declares Hezbollah as a "national resistance movement." The question is which title is correct?
War can prevent; it cannot create. It can prevent an enemy from destroying your life and home and thus enable history to continue on its course. But it cannot construct new textures of relationship or create the harmonies and mutual interests necessary for the establishment of a new and better international order.
Obviously, each side, Lebanon, Israel, and Hezbollah, has varying ideals and obligations. To begin, Israel holds holds an obligation of justice because they must defend the country that the United Nations gave to them as their homeland. Israel also has an obligation of faithfulness because Judaism has taught them that their people were meant to return to Israel. Social responsibility and justice are also extremely important ideals for Israel, because of the delicate situation facing them. On the other hand, Israel is breaking the obligation of non-maleficience because their retaliation to Hezbollah's actions does not give them the right to take away more lives. It is also true that Israel holds an extent of moral responsibility for its actions. When the decision to bomb Lebanon was made, the Israeli government was fully aware that the action would provide consequences and that the government held a high degree of understanding regarding the situation.
At the same time, Lebanon holds obligations of self-improvement, reparation, and justice. For over half a century, Lebanon has been striving to return to its past reputation as the "Paris" of the Middle East – a thriving, peaceful, and democratic country with a strong economy and government. Due to Lebanon's past with the PLO and the recent wars with Israel, Lebanon also holds an obligation of reparation. Lebanon's government implores the country to "set peace." Another extremely controversial ideal for Lebanon is the ideal of freedom. Lebanon prides itself in being one of the few pro-western countries that believes in freedom, that is why the PLO and Hezbollah have been easily able to thrive. Finally, Lebanon holds an obligation of justice because Lebanon continually seeks justice in order to form a lawful community.
Finally, Hezbollah has multiple obligations and ideals. To fulfill their goal, Hezbollah holds obligations of faithfulness and justice. This is because Hezbollah is extremely religious and they believe that any means of returning Israel to the Palestinians will accomplish their purpose in life. At the same time, Hezbollah also has an obligation of reparation and an ideal of social responsibility, because Hezbollah's cost to Lebanon is one that will probably never be repaid. Thus, their social programs and benefits to the Lebanese citizens help to achieve this goal.
After the war, on August 14, 2006, Lebanon was left in shambles. Hezbollah had fired thousands of rockets at civilian targets in Israel, and an estimated 1,200 Lebanese civilians and hundreds of Hezbollah fighters had died, along with only 119 Israeli military and 43 Israeli civilian casualties. For the first time in over four decades, the Lebanese Armed Forces patrolled the border with Israel. However, the war had destroyed homes, businesses, and infrastructure and had displaced nearly one-fourth of Lebanon's population. Lebanon, already severely indebted, suffered over $5 billion in damages and financial losses. The war had also caused numerous pro-Syrian ministers, Shi'ite ministers, and Hezbollah ministers to withdraw from the Lebanese cabinet. In November of 2006, the cabinet Minister of Industry, the ex-president's son, was assassinated, reiterating that the country remains in tangles.
One may ask which party acted as "the good guy?" Unfortunately, there is no definite answer, because each party faulted at some point. Hezbollah is preaching the solutions to moral issues and is creating a problem by establishing these views as Lebanon's own. Hezbollah is acting as the leading force of the country, even though they are just an Islamic power, influenced by Syria and Iran, not Lebanon. In fact, "The biggest rocket, which Israel said was Syrian-made…[left] congealing pools of blood on the platform." Yet, Hezbollah has been commended for their actions. Supreme leader in Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, called Hezbollah "a genuine Islamic movement whose progress should become an example for the Muslim world," even though Hezbollah almost diminished their supply of rockets and lost hundreds of its best guerilla fighters. So "why is Hezbollah allowed to remain in Lebanon?" Since Hezbollah is one of the only organizations in the country receiving funding, there has been a surprising amount of service done to the Lebanese society on Hezbollah's part. In the last few years, Hezbollah has distributed tens of millions of dollars, most of which was provided by Iran. While at the same time, due to destruction caused by Israel, the Lebanese government held damages estimated in the billions, not including the loss of tourism and commerce. "All we have is 1,000 dead and widespread destruction," said Jamal Ghosn, a Lebanese citizen, "Hezbollah's stature has grown. But the biggest losers are the people." Another citizen, Hani Mudaid, claimed "I saw all the bad things of the war. It's very hard for me now to see my kids see them too." One must also remember that Lebanon attempted democracy, yet they were taken advantage of by PLO, Hezbollah, and other extremists groups who were turned away in other Middle Eastern countries. Just because they had laws did not mean that extremists would follow them. All were accepted in Lebanon, a country of free speech; a safe haven. Unfortunately, democracy is a double-edged sword, and freedom is appropriate only up to a certain point. However, when extremists forget respect for persons, they endanger the country that they were welcomed in and threaten the country with war. Now is time for the Lebanese government to create a new definition of freedom.
Now the question is "who is responsible?" Israel believes that the Lebanese need to be able to control Hezbollah, yet Lebanon is unable to remove Hezbollah, a member of their ministry, because the Lebanese constitution states that all majorities will be represented. "Israel's military chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Dan Halutz, warned that 'nothing is safe' in Lebanon and that Beirut itself, especially Hezbollah offices and strongholds in southern Beirut, would be a target." The cautious Lebanese government does not have enough power to displace Hezbollah, because the government does not want to spark another civil war. Many even fear that allowing Hezbollah to continue is strengthening Iran and Syria, "the axis of terror," thus endangering Israel, if not the world.
If Lebanon can not take control of Hezbollah, did Israel have the right to attack Hezbollah? The rest of the world feels that Israel's actions were too harsh. "The European Union criticized Israel for 'the disproportionate use of force' in Lebanon 'in response to attacks by Hezbollah on Israel'…and that 'the imposition of an air and sea blockade on Lebanon cannot be justified.' (As stated previously, the majority view in the world backs the Lebanese government, criticizing Israel for intruding, yet one must realize that the majority view is not creditable, as it has been proved that the majority does not necessarily consist of well-informed voices.) However, Israel claimed that most stored weapons were among the civilian population in apartments, stores, and garages. Israeli forces felt that it was essential to destroy the airport and major highways in order to diminish the transfer of weapons and supplies for Hezbollah. It is important to note that the majority of targets hit were strategically planned, including the bombing of Beirut's main runway, not the new airport terminal. The contradiction is that many reporters, like Paul Salem claim that "[they have] been through towns where there is not a single house left." One must also keep in mind that Israel suffered greatly from the war as well. The war provided few military achievements and the war exposed Israel as a weak and vulnerable state. A columnist from Jerusalem's main newspaper, Haaretz, claimed that the Israeli citizens were amazed that "…the Israeli Defensive Forces could not bring down a tiny guerilla organization to its knees for more than a month." In the future, it is highly unlikely that Israel will be able to afford future wars. Israel must now realize that Hezbollah is not the real threat to Israel's survival, Iran and Syria are.
Yet Israel, Hezbollah, or Lebanon's choices can not be properly assessed without taking ethics into account. In this case, religious ethics and metaethics is especially important because it is imperative to review sensible applications of religious beliefs and to examine the ethical systems. Unlike popular western religions, Islam is very different. Worshipers of the Islamic religion are very devout, praying at least three times a day. Islamics also tend to act as absolutists, because they believe that all of their acts are the work of god. Many members of the Islamic Hezbollah firmly believe that each of their actions, whether killing innocent Israelis or kidnapping soldiers, is completely ethical. Looking meticulously, the reason behind Hezbollah's thinking is quite obvious. As most members of Hezbollah grew up, their consciences were conditioned by society around them, angered by the removal of Palestinians from their homeland. The Muslim society was not an ethnocentric environment, yet most Islamics simply believed that the Palestinians had just as much right to be in Israel as the Jews did. As the years passed, the adults who witnessed their parents' hatred for Israel grew up to hold the same anger. Along with anger it is fairly easy to conclude that Hezbollah must hold the belief that God's work takes higher value than respect for persons. To the people of Hezbollah, the ideals of faithfulness and loyalty were utterly important. The people of Hezbollah, passionate about protecting Lebanon and encompassed with anger towards the Israelis feel that their situation is the same as the principle of double effect. The people of Hezbollah must drive the Israelis out of Lebanon to cease their intrusion.
Now looking at Israel, it is clear that the Jewish people need a homeland to be able to survive. In contrast, the Israelis have a hatred for Hezbollah, as many leaders were brought up conditioned with media and society hating Hezbollah. Sadly, the people of Hezbollah grew up the same as the Israelis – hating each other. They also have separate moral codes based on religion, and the people of Hezbollah and Israel strive to follow them. Finally, as Lebanon seems to be the "monkey in the middle," it is respectable that the country has been unable to react as their history has only consisted of a repetition of wars and rebuilding, and the ideals and morals of the Lebanese people have been extremely jumbled in the past decades. The decision-makers of Hezbollah, Lebanon, and Israel all grew up in societies that disliked each other, thus the hatred seems to be drilled into their brains. When decisions are made, there is barely a conscience that objects. Unfortunately, some leaders of Hezbollah, Lebanon, and Israel have become extremists because they have lost hope in the peace process. They believe that war is the only way of achieving solutions.
Obviously, the simplest answer would be for both Hezbollah and Israel to withdraw from Lebanon, thus allowing Lebanon to rebuild and strengthen their government. Iran could cut off funding to Hezbollah, and Israel could focus on their true threat, instead of wasting funding and human lives on fighting Hezbollah. However, since Hezbollah seems permanently implanted in Lebanon, it is very likely that Hezbollah and Israel will stay put. Thus, the only hope is for world powers to step up and arbitrate.
"Unless you have an amazingly bold act of leadership [in Lebanon]…we are on a steady spiral downward."

The Loop Stand frame is 95 cm high, and it comes in a set of two. Create a customized table with these trestles and a top in your favourite colour and material.
The Loop Stand collection is based on the modern, three-legged version of a traditional trestle that Leif Jørgensen designed for the Storm lifestyle and fashion store in Copenhagen. When combined with a tabletop the Loop Stand frame forms the Loop Stand table, and with added height, it transforms into a coat rack. Hay's sculptural but affordable collection suits any space due to its simple and elegant design.
The Danish architect Leif Jørgensen is especially known for furnishing the Diesel brand stores in Scandinavia. Nowadays he mainly cooperates with Hay, to whom he has designed the Loop-series among other things.
Jørgensens work is characterized by coincidence of design and architecture. He thinks that the meaning of an object depends on its context. Jørgensen works with organic forms with an underlying sense for geometry.


No one can make a list of the "best" albums of 2017 but everyone can make lists of favorites and this is the first list of a batch of mine. They're in batches because there are a lot and so doing them by genre seems reasonable, but musical genre is an impossible rat's nest which leads to endless disputes so I'm just using a "Mohsical scale" which goes from 2-9 (because there's always something harder/faster/whatever or softer/slower/whatever). So this is a list of some alternative-esque albums that impressed me, arranged alphabetically by artist (no idea why there's nothing after "M") with my very favorite in bold. Each is represented by a sample track from the album and the total time of these nine tracks is 43:34.
I only have a few specific comments. All are "auto-generated" clips except "I'd Kill for Her" because I couldn't find one for that. Don't Get Lost has three tracks or so with the mesmerizing Tess Parks, including the one I selected. While "How Did I Find Myself Here" may seem like an instrumental for awhile, it isn't, but Chalice Hymnal is all-instrumental. A Walk with Love and Death is basically a double album of two completely different albums and I don't care for "Love" (noise rock soundtrack) but "Death" is good. Occult Architecture is two separate and slightly different releases (Vol. 2 being more ambient while I prefer Vol. 1).

Q: Magento CE 1.9 after_body_start shows again after end html I added a custom block via local.xml (works great) - to display a div immediately after the open body tag, xml code below... and it works, but it also displays it again after the end html tag? I checked the template phtml files and they dont call after_body_start again... any help would be appreciated!
xml add code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<default>
    <reference name="after_body_start">
        <block type="core/template" name="gcadd" template="page/custom/gcadd.phtml" output="toHtml" before="-" />
    </reference>
</default>
</layout>

A: Found the solution... the code:
output="toHtml"

was the problem, removing that part stopped the duplicated content.
