According to the 2013 statistics from the National Health Service (NHS) of the UK, about 2.5% of the eye health costs were due to an accident and other injury-related causes. Accidents continue to contribute majorly to both partial and complete blindness. If you have experienced loss of sight due to an accident, injury or negligence, then you may have an opportunity to make a compensation claim against the loss. This article looks into the various causes of loss of sight and how you can make a loss of sight compensation claims for your eyesight loss.
Accident at Work – One of the major causes of accidents that lead to eyesight loss is an injury at the place of work. Though such injuries can take place in any place of work, they are more prevalent in industrial works, welding jobs, workshops and especially those that deal with metals and factories that may have a lot of dust or chemical exposure. An employer has a duty to ensure extreme safety of his or her employees and if such a work-related accident is due to such negligence by an employer, then the victim through a lawyer may file for loss of sight claim.
Medical Accident – Various medical operations can lead to a loss of eyesight. One can also lose their sight if they take the wrong medication or take an overdose of a prescription drug. If such medical accidents are due to negligence by the practitioner involved, then the victim can claim compensation from the negligent practitioner.
Head or Eye Injury – An injury to the head or eye may be caused by a car or motorbike accident, accidents in an amusement park, slip and fall accidents, hit by a flying object or other such accidents.
However, to get a more accurate estimate, a solicitor will need to consider the medical costs incurred, domestic assistance costs due to eyesight loss, the loss of income and other past and future costs from the loss of sight.
There is a wide range of symptoms that may point to a potential eye injury or loss of sight. Such symptoms include blurriness in vision, severe headaches, pain in the eyes, loss of vision from one eye or both eyes and itchiness of the eyes. If eye injury is caused by a sharp object or head trauma, then the diagnosis is more straightforward and you can get to treatment immediately. However, for causes that are less conspicuous, you may need to consult with an optician or eye doctor to get a more accurate diagnosis of your potential loss of sight.
A "No Win No Fee" solicitor is a lawyer who takes up a compensation claim case but only gets his or her legal fees from the proceeds of the compensation. In such a case, the lawyer will not charge the client any fees if the claim fails. This arrangement is especially ideal for victims who may not have or be willing to pay the legal fees upfront and therefore get to pay such fees only when compensation is won.
There are various resources available for people who have loss of sight or other eyesight related problems. The National Health Service (NHS) provides extensive loss of sight-related information and statistics on their website. You can also get information from the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) and the Action for Blind People UK. It is also advisable to get a diagnosis and more personalized information from a medical doctor. As for compensation, you can get advice and assistance from a lawyer.
If you have suffered eye injury or loss of sight due to the fault of another person or institution, then your first recourse towards getting compensation is contacting an injury lawyer to assist in building a case. It is important that you maintain all medical records and bills relating to the claim including travel expenses to the hospital, consultation and medical bills, domestic assistance due to the injury and all other related documentation as this will assist your solicitor in making a claim.
If you are a victim of loss of sight, you have up to three years from the time that you discovered that you had the injury to make loss of sight compensation claims. However, it is advisable to contact a lawyer as soon as you find out that you have loss of sight. This way, the lawyer can advise you on how best to proceed in seeking compensation.

So let's consider this: For years, Apple has sold premium-priced gear. With few exceptions, sales are high and profits are high. Even when sales fall, as they did for the iPhone over several quarters, and the iPad since 2014, Apple doesn't lose money.
But the critics have other ideas. You can see it implicit in their ongoing demands about Apple, every single year. So there is the long-term demand that Apple license its operating system. It was made even before the first really useful version of Windows came out, Windows 95. So in that year, you could buy an official Mac OS clone from several third-party companies, such as Power Computing.
Before then, some companies unofficially built Mac clones by using the ROMs from an older Mac to assemble a computer that sort of worked, although they tended to be buggy.
Well, the official clone program was a disaster. Not just because Apple charged a mere $50 for each clone license. It was due to the fact that Apple is a hardware company, and every sale lost to another company is a lost sale. They probably believed they'd be expanding the market in ways they couldn't manage themselves, but it ended up that the cloners merely went after Apple's high-end corner of the market with a vengeance.
With Apple on the ropes, the new iCEO, Steve Jobs, found ways to short circuit the deal. That's a key reason why Mac OS 8 arrived, since the cloners were mostly licensed to distribute computers with Mac OS 7. Apple also bought out Power Computing for $100 million, effectively killing that company.
Unfortunately, some people continue to demand that Apple license macOS, and even iOS. They labor under the delusion that Apple needs to focus more on market share, and it's all about having more devices with an Apple OS on them, rather than selling more hardware. Don't forget, Apple gives away the OS, which is designed to be tightly integrated to their own hardware. Even if third party products were supported, it would create additional problems for techs to manage a wider range of configurations. That's a chronic issue that Microsoft has had to deal with over the years.
All this while Apple's stock price has hit record levels. Obviously, investors like what Apple is doing.
Specifically, Apple has, in recent years, earned over 90% of the profits in the smartphone industry. The critics want them to sell cheaper gear, so they earn less money per unit. Customers clearly love their iPhones, and while I'm sure they'd like to get them cheaper, Apple has managed to carve out a sizable market for itself. Samsung may sell more copies, but Apple dominates in the high-end smartphone space.
Over the years, the critics have also demanded that Apple sell cheap Macs, but how much in the way of profits are the other companies making anyway with their low-end machines? Apple dominates in high-end desktops and notebooks. There are legitimate reasons to suggest ways to improve the Mac lineup, and there are also legitimate reasons to be concerned over the small number of product refreshes.
But some of that, a lot of that, doesn't even appear to be Apple's fault. Don't forget that Intel hasn't been exactly speedy in getting new processors out. Year-over-year improvements are usually slight, even as the critics complain that Apple is cheating its customers by using older silicon.
But then there's the Mac Pro.
So what, if anything, does Apple plan to do to upgrade its flagship workstation? The last model refresh, a whole new design, arrived in 2013. It's still being sold at the same price, mostly, except for a $200 reduction in the price of a 1TB SSD upgrade. There are faster Xeon processors, and faster graphics chips. It would have been fairly trivial to offer models with upgraded parts, so what's going on here?
At its price, the Mac Pro is, I am sure, quite profitable even if sales aren't very high. There is also a segment of the market willing to pay maximum dollar for a computing workstation. If it doesn't come from Apple, it'll come from the likes of Dell or HP. Does it make sense to let it slide? Remember that if a company gives up on buying the most powerful Mac, they are likely to switch an entire company to Windows too, which can mean plenty of lost sales.
Such concerns aren't going to be addressed by selling cheap Macs, cheap iPhones or cheap iPads. Apple's product positioning has been shown to be successful. Many of the people making complaints about pricing and cloning have no knowledge about running multinational companies, and thus are way out of their league.
In case you're wondering, I have plenty of criticisms about Apple. There are things I'd like to see changed. But I do not pretend to know how to design tech gear or run a multinational business. I have to assume Apple does based on the degree of their success. It's also unfortunately true that many of the people who claim to know better usually end up being wrong.

Those Apple critics who keep bringing up the old "licensing OS" are so clueless. It is one thing if Apple had never done it, but Apple had with nearly disastrous results for the company. Why don't they just…go…away? Must be the big money in writing alternative facts.
Like you have emphasized that Apple is still profitable and stated "Why change?".
I do side in those who want Apple to put more money in Mac development and listen to valid criticisms like with the Mac Pro.
In general, I agree with this. But there's one purpose for which a cheap Mac would be very helpful: addressing the special needs of the education market. This is one area in which the Mac Mini should be able to shine, if some version of it (even at the price of omitting or crippling some features present in the standard model) could be priced at a point designed to appeal to school district purchasing agents.


LONDON: The former chief media correspondent of the Financial Times, Ben Fenton, has been enticed by Edelman to launch a creative industries offering in London.
Fenton led the FT's coverage of the phone-hacking scandal and Leveson Inquiry, more recently establishing the paper's live news desk operation before leaving in March. Before the FT, Fenton served as chief reporter for The Daily Telegraph, including a stint in the US as its Washington correspondent.
He has joined Edelman's corporate practice in London to bring together its work in the media and creative sector under a distinct offering.
He will report to Alex Bigg, MD of Edelman's corporate and financial practice.
He added that Fenton would drive content partnerships on behalf of the agency's clients.

Q: wordpress 3.5 media manager - add my own backbone.js views I am currently trying to utilize the new WordPress 3.5 media manager which uses backbone.js to create and populate its modal window.
What I want to do is: a user clicks upload button, media manager pops up, user selects image, presses insert, image is then saved to custom field.
All of that already works, the only thing that I would like to change is to populate the sidebar of the media uploader (were user can add caption, title, select size, etc) with my very own template.
I already read dozens of tutorials on how to work with backbone but am now a little stuck. here is my some of code so far:
//defined earlier:
var frame;

//on click:

if ( file_frame )
{
    file_frame.open();
    return;
}
else
{
    // Create the media frame.
    file_frame  = wp.media(
    {
    frame:   'select',
    state:   'mystate',
    library:   {type: 'image'},
    multiple:   false
    });

    file_frame.states.add([

    new media.controller.Library({
        id:         'mystate',
        title: 'my title',
        priority:   20,
        toolbar:    'select',
        filterable: 'uploaded',
        library:    media.query( file_frame.options.library ),
        multiple:   file_frame.options.multiple ? 'reset' : false,
        editable:   true,
        displayUserSettings: false,
        displaySettings: true,
        allowLocalEdits: true,
          //AttachmentView: ?

    }),
    ]);

file_frame.open();

}

I have also tried registering my own template like this:
media.view.Attachment.mySidebar = media.view.Settings.AttachmentDisplay.extend(
{
    className: 'attachment-display-settings',
    template:  media.template('avia-choose-size')
});

but the problem is: I dont know were to load only this template instead of the original sidebar. passing it as AttachmentView parameter obviously doesnt work since it replaces the whole template and not just the sidebar.
Anyone with some backbone.js experience who can help?

A: I'm not sure if you ever found an answer to your question, but I wanted to let you know that I got the above code to work for me by simply fixing references to "media" objects that were not prefixed with "wp."  So...your new custom state code should look like this instead:
file_frame.states.add([

new wp.media.controller.Library({
    id:         'mystate',
    title: 'my title',
    priority:   20,
    toolbar:    'select',
    filterable: 'uploaded',
    library:    wp.media.query( file_frame.options.library ),
    multiple:   file_frame.options.multiple ? 'reset' : false,
    editable:   true,
    displayUserSettings: false,
    displaySettings: true,
    allowLocalEdits: true,
      //AttachmentView: ?

}),
]);

I personally wanted to REPLACE the initial default state of the 'select' frame, which I achieved by adding states : 'mystate' to the file_frame options, causing the initialization to return without creating the default 'select' state.  And then proceeded with creating 'mystate' as you demonstrated (with the two minor changes in object syntax).
My thanks go to you for the lead in methodology here!  It worked perfectly, and I was completely lost and frustrated prior.

If the year 2016 taught me anything, it is that our time has come. No amount of online petitions or Facebook posts will stand in for the work that needs to be done by all of us, everywhere. Right now we are in a fight for the heart of this country, and in 2017, I choose to believe that there are more of us on the side of peace and love than on the side of fear and hate.

Q: UITableView: Can detect cell selection via tap gesture but not didSelectRowAtIndexPath I have a UITableView embedded in a WEPopover. I can see the whole view and select cells except for the one at the bottom. Pressing the bottom row does not cause didSelectRowAtIndexPath to be invoked. I tried adding a UITapGestureRecognizer to the view to intercept touches and computing the corresponding cell with the code below and found that it works. I am trying to understand why didSelectRowAtIndexPath is not being called even though the table view is receiving touch events.
CGPoint touchLocation = [sender locationInView:self.tableView];
NSIndexPath *tappedIndexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForRowAtPoint:touchLocation];
NSInteger row = [tappedIndexPath row];

Any ideas would be appreciated.

A: Get rid of the UITapGestureRecognizer, you don't need it. My guess is that either
1) Your WEPopover is smaller than your UITableView. Set the clipsToBounds property on the WEPopover to YES and see if you still have this issue. You can also double check the height of your UITableView frame and WEPopover frame and make sure they are the same.
2) You have some sort of transparent view covering the bottom cell. Check your view hierarchy and set the color of transparent views to something like [UIColor redColor] and make sure you don't have something on top of your UITableView.
Can you touch on the bottom cell and scroll?

Eat less; swim more
Strange advice from USA Today, "Double up: Diet, exercise together are key to success". We've known all along that if you want to get into good shape you need to eat less and swim more:
Folks who want to get in better shape and eat healthier are often encouraged to make one change at a time, but a new study finds that people are the most successful when they tackle their diet and exercise habits simultaneously.
"It comes down to making them both priorities and thinking about both throughout the day," says lead researcher Abby King, professor at the Stanford (University) Prevention Research Center.
King and colleagues worked with 200 inactive, mostly overweight people, 45 years and older, who had relatively unhealthy diets that didn't include enough fruits and vegetables and contained too much saturated (animal) fat.
Published online in Annals of Behavioral Medicine, the study shows participants were divided into four groups: One learned to make diet and exercise changes at the same time; another learned to make diet changes first and then a few months later began working on their exercise habits. A third group changed their exercise habits first, then their diet later. And the fourth group learned stress-management techniques but did not get diet and exercise guidance.
Participants weren't trying to lose weight, just live healthier lifestyles. Health educators met with them at the beginning of the year and then called them once a month to provide advice and support.
The goals were for participants to meet the government's physical activity guidelines of doing at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity physical activity, such as walking, eat five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day and keep their saturated fat intake to 10% or less of daily calories.
The findings after one year: Those who made changes in their diet and exercise habits at the same time did the best at meeting all three goals — eating enough fruits and vegetables, limiting saturated fat and exercising enough to meet the government's guidelines.
Participants who started with exercise first also did pretty well at meeting diet and exercise goals, but not quite as well as the group that did both at the same time, King says. Those who started with diet first managed to meet dietary goals but not their exercise goals.
She says the results were surprising, because doctors and nutritionists often encourage people to make one change at a time. "For some people, that may be the best approach, but we found that you may get the most bang for your buck by making these changes together."
This was not a weight-loss study, and participants were not taught portion control and other strategies important for weight loss, King says. However, some people did drop pounds, and researchers are studying those results now.
Tim Church, director of preventive medicine research at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, says, "This provides really strong evidence that you might as well do both from the beginning of your program."
Felicia Stoler, a registered dietitian and exercise physiologist in Holmdel, N.J., says when she works with patients she gives them both a nutrition plan and a physical-activity plan. Many people would rather change the foods they eat than their physical activity, she says. "But when people become more physically active they feel better about themselves, and they often no longer want to put bad food in their system."

The best parts of summer are relaxing and eating food by the pool. Greek yogurt mixed into dips is a perfect way to fulfill both requirements while still being somewhat healthy. With yogurt dips, the possibilities are limitless; almost anything goes good with a dip!
This flavorful black bean, lime, and honey, Greek yogurt dip is a delicious treat for the long hot days of summer. The dip tastes great with salty foods like tortilla chips and pretzels, and equally as good with fresh veggies. It's refreshing to eat on a hot summer day and is quick and easy to make as a snack or appetizer. Plus, using Greek yogurt in dips rather than mayonnaise or sour cream makes them healthy and delicious. Add this dip to your poolside menu this summer.
Place the beans, salsa, Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Serve with your favorite chips or fresh veggies.
What did we do before Greek yogurt?! It's perfect in just about everything!
Perfect for an afternoon by the pool! Swimming makes me super hungry anyways so I know I'd be ready for chips and dip!
Yum, I love the flavors in this dip!
Oooo - this sounds fantastic! I think I have all of the ingredients to make this dip this weekend!
I love the way the Greek yogurt lightened up this bean dip - it looks like perfect poolside munching material!
Oh yes, this would be perfect for poolside snacking, preferably with a margarita in the other hand!
This looks like such a delicious, lighter black bean dip! Definitely perfect for summers at the pool.
I LOVE the idea of this dip, I'll be packing it up for the beach this week.
This looks tasty. I'll need to try it!
Oh man! That honey lime dip looks so good. Definitely need to try this.

Phoebe Gives Back: Sulphur Springs Girl Picked to Model Princess Millie Dress
Persnickety Clothing Combines Fashion and Philanthropy
Published by admin at July 1, 2014
Persnickety Clothing is more than kids' fashion
Falling in love with the children's clothing from Persnickety Clothing is simple — their tagline of "fancy little frocks" is hard to resist. From beautiful fabrics in whimsical combinations to the sort of comfortable fit that allows girls to move, dance, and run throughout the day, Persnickety Clothing will quickly become a favorite in any little girl's wardrobe. The company, however, is so much more than a clothing company.
Buying Is Giving™ is one way Persnickety gives back to children in need
Persnickety Clothing company gives a portion of the proceeds from every piece of clothing purchased to children in need. The Buying Is Giving™ program works to provide for children in need in a variety of ways. The company donates school uniforms, which can be the difference between a child attending school and staying home. They donate food and support orphanages, and they provide clothing to impoverished children.
See a few gorgeous pieces from Persnickety Clothing we absolutely adore.
Persnickety partners with Millie's Princess Foundation
Millie Flamm, who was diagnosed with leukemia when she was four years old, wanted to be a fashion designer. Persnickety Clothing helped Millie realize her dream, developing a custom-designed dress made from Millie's own drawings. Millie passed away in 2013, but her spirit and courage live on through Millie's Princess Foundation. The foundation is a 5013c organization with the mission of "providing financial relief to cancer families and building a community awareness campaign in behalf of those children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses."
Touched by Millie's story and their collaboration with the brave Cancer Warrior, Persnickety Clothing is dedicated to partnering with Millie's Princess Foundation to create a new, custom-designed dress each year. This year's dress was designed by Cami, Millie's best friend and fellow Childhood Cancer Warrior (Persnickety Clothing, $78). Proceeds from the gold dress, the color that signifies raising awareness of — and desperately needed funds for — the fight against childhood cancer, will benefit families battling child cancer.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
We can't think of a better time to promote such a passionate, important cause, and we admire the way the Rickenbach family is combining their family business with philanthropic opportunities. We hope you'll browse — and purchase from — the Millie's Princess line at Persnickety Clothing. The company, led by Craig and Corrine Rickenbach, embodies generosity and a heart-felt desire to make a difference, one purchase at a time.

Q: The type or namespace name `Xml' does not exist in the namespace `System.Security.Cryptography' I have to read a signed xml with a
Using System.Security;
System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.SignedXml signedXml = new System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.SignedXml(lic);

First Unity/VS complained that

VS > Error    11    The type or namespace name Xml' does not exist in
  the namespaceSystem.Security.Cryptography'. Are you missing an
  assembly reference?

So I added a reference to System.Security in Visual Studio (C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Security.dll)...but Unity keeps complaining that

error CS0234: The type or namespace name Xml' does not exist in the
  namespaceSystem.Security.Cryptography'. Are you missing an assembly
  reference?

I then tried to directly copy the 'System.Security.dll' inside the asset folder...but still the same message!
What am I doing wrong please? What has to be done?
Thanks very much!

A: Most of the System.Security.Cryptography namespace is excluded from the unity's default .Net 2.0 Subset API. Most probably .Xml is also stripped. So do one of the following:

*

*in Unity click on Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + B to open the build menu, click on player settings. In inspector find API Compatability Level which is set to .Net 2.0 Subset by default. Change it to .Net 2.0 which includes the rest of the previously stripped classes/namespaces.

*if the error persists then make sure that the .dll you are copying into Unity is from .net 2.0 framework. Unity can't import libraries targeting framework higher than .net 2.0

This is what is excluded from the unity's Subset API:
https://docs.unity3d.com/412/Documentation/ScriptReference/MonoCompatibility.html
Sorry, I couldn't find the current version of this document
EDIT:
as @user2737085 suggested - you'd also have to add mcs.rsp file to your Assets folder. mcs.rsp should be a text file containing the following line:
-r:System.Security.dll

Buckle Up Campaign a failure
Public Health's "Buckle Up" campaign failed to increase seatbelt usage among the Mercyhurst community.
According to Thomas Cook, Ph.D., who spearheaded the study as part of his Foundations of Public Health class, there was no change in seat belt use during the two-week observation period. The study observed 1,000 passengers.
The data did not consider driving distance which may be a factor in whether passengers use a seatbelt, Cook said. The campaign is being repeated in March and while driving distance will remain a difficult factor to consider in the data, Cook said the campaign will be tweaked to appeal to more people.
"We plan to keep components that resonated well based on feedback from the campus community and drop those components which did not have a lot of participation, such as the Facebook pledge. We plan to add an incentive component and more aggressive strategies rewarding passengers who are buckled up," Cook said.
Cook's class created the campaign as part of an outbreak investigation. They placed signs bearing their tagline "Don't test your luck, Buckle Up" for drivers entering and exiting Mercyhurst.
The class then analyzed the Mercyhurst population's seatbelt wearing habits. While the campaign did not yield a positive result in terms of seat belt usage, Cook said his students learned from the project.
"The intent was to develop the materials and pilot components of the campaign at a very low budget of under $200," said Cook. "[The] students designed a highly visible brand for the campaign and did a great job of designing the core program materials and spreading the word across different media."
Paige Huggins, a sophomore Public Health major and the student leader of publicity, said that although she felt the fall semester portion of the campaign was successful, there are certain things they can change to make it more effective.
"I will definitely try to get more students involved and have the campaign be a more interactive experience. I'm so excited to see the next part of this project. I hope that it can be another fun experience, and that we see even more participation," Huggins said.
Cook said he plans on continuing this project because it is good for students to realize the importance of buckling up.
"I think it is important that the campus community know that the data speaks for itself. Not buckling up is the single most important predictor of fatal crashes," Cook said.


This level has hard difficulty. For this level try to play near to blockers and make special candy as you get the chance. Combine special candies with each other or play near to jam to spread them to near candies.
Again my level 1587 has only 24 moves. 24% fewer. This is along a string of several levels that have been shortchanged, some by 40%!

Persephone and Hades – Who were children of Persephone in mythology?
Zeeh, 1 year ago 0
Persephone and Hades
Persephone had eaten only one pomegranate seed
Who were the children of Persephone, and how did they fit into her mythology
1. Melinoe
2. Zagreus
What makes Persephone love Hades?
What do they have in common?
Persephone and Hades are generally viewed as having a stable and healthy relationship, and the two of them have a mutual fondness and respect for each other.
In Greek religion, Persephone, daughter of Zeus, the main god, and Demeter, the spirit of agriculture.
She was Hades's wife, ruler of the Underworld.
In the Demeter to Homeric Hymn, Persephone gathered flowers in Nysa's valley when she was taken from Hades and taken to the Underworld.
Upon learning of the kidnapping, his mother, Demeter, became indifferent to the harvest or the fertility of the land in her misery.
Zeus then intervened, ordering Hades to hand Persephone over to her mother.
Since Persephone had eaten only one pomegranate seed in the Underworld, however, he could not be fully liberated.
He had to stay a third of the year with Hades and spend the other two thirds with his mother.
It likely meant the story that Persephone spent four months a year in the Underworld was to explain Greek fields' barren appearance in the height of summer.
After harvest, before their rebirth in the autumn rains, when they are plowed and sown.
Another myth of love and rapture in Greek mythology is the myth of Hades and Persephone.
Persephone was the descendant(daughter) of Demeter and Zeus and originally the Goddess of spring. She was magnificent and caught the attention of Hades, the king of the dead.
He kidnapped and forced to marry her, the Goddess of spring has become the queen of the Underworld.
Accounts differ as to whether her marriage to Hades was happy or offensive. I doubt the latter because every story
I read says that Hades loved his wife.
Persephone canonically has two sons.
Melinoe is the Goddess of impressions and the supplier of nightmares and madness.
It is usually has a pale or diseased complexion. Melinoe is Persephone's daughter and called the daughter of Hades, although her birth father was Zeus.
Zeus came to Persephone in the form of his brother, and from there, conceived Melinoe.
Melinoe is "dressed in saffron," an attribute is given only to her and the magical Goddess Hecate, which indicates some similarities between them.
Melinoe is also considered a moon goddess and is named as "half black and half white."
This duality represents the difference between Zeus (celestial light) and Hades (infernal darkness).
Zagreus against conceived Persephone and Zeus's union in Hades' guise, the Orphic myths say.
This Zagreus would later become Dionysus. However, previous legends say that the boy's father was Hades.
Also used Zagreus as an epithet for Hades in primitive mythology.
In reality, it is not clear whether she liked him or not. This part is a bit fuzzy.
The many repetitions of the story make it difficult to know if he did. It makes it hard to answer this question without wanting to go to Google.
What might lead Persephone to love Hades is her tenacity. In myths, he chased her all the time because he loved her so much.
He also doesn't treat her like a child-like his mother, Demeter. Instead, Hades sees Persephone as an important woman who deserves to be loved.
The couple from the Underworld might have in common how they both rule the Underworld.
They are both gods and are related to Zeus. (I know, it's obvious). But whatever you might not know is that they both have a spiritual Earth and a spiritual underworld.
The "underworld," spiritually, I mean, is the darkest part of the soul, the place where hatred, cruelty, and Death.
The "sun" is the lighter side of the soul, the place where you find love, kindness, and Life. It may sound cheesy, but it seems fair.
Hades still has his "Underworld," especially without Persephone. When Persephone goes to the Underworld, she too is going through the spiritual "Underworld."
When they are together, they both hold on to the "sun" to take away the rest of the pain. That's what love does. It makes you happy.
Maybe that's why they love each other. To keep each other in the "sun." To keep yourself happy. Because they can't face it alone.

With the NHL�s collective bargaining agreement set to expire on Sept. 15 and the threat of a lockout looming, neither side in the labor battle has shown much of a sense of urgency to make a new deal. Now it�s becoming clear that even if a new agreement is reached fairly quickly, the expected work stoppage will take its toll on the hockey card market.
Reports on various Internet trading card sites and a detailed report in the recently-printed October 2004 issue of Beckett Hockey indicate that Pacific Trading Cards is going out of business, at least temporarily, and the hockey-only trading card manufacturer In the Game may be soon to follow. Also, Topps will not produce any more hockey sets until the labor situation is resolved -- and possibly not even then -- leaving Upper Deck as the lone producer of NHL cards for the foreseeable future.
In short, there were 45 different NHL hockey card products released for the 2003-04 season, but that total could be reduced to as few as five different sets this year.
Pacific released the first trading card set for the 2004-05 season last month, but that could end up being the company�s last issue as the company was set to sell all of its printing and packaging equipment, most of its office equipment and an extensive photo library in an auction last week. Reportedly, the company has already laid off most of its workers and will move out of its Seattle-area office by the end of the month.
According to the website collect.com, Pacific founder and president Mike Cramer has said that while the company may not be gone for good, it is "basically going into hibernation." He reportedly indicated that when the NHL sides reach an agreement, he will attempt to renew Pacific�s NHL license and open up shop again in a smaller facility, with production handled by a contracted printing company.
In addition to the NHL, Pacific had licenses with the new WHA, the AHL, the Canadian Football League and TNA wrestling. Those lines will likely also be discontinued unless the company regains a more lucrative major league license.
Also on the critical list is In the Game, which entered the market in 1998-99 as the latest creator of the "Be a Player" line of cards and has since resurrected the Parkhurst brand name, among other sets.
The company has not issued any definitive statements regarding 2004-05 products and no information regarding new releases appears on its website. However, the Beckett article quotes In the Game president Brian Price as saying, "We are currently working on several projects but we have no way of knowing if any of them will come to fruition."
According to the Beckett article, Topps -- which does not yet have a licensing deal for 2004-05 but could probably get one if it so chooses -- will also refrain from issuing any new sets until the NHL is back in action. The article quotes company spokesman Clay Luraschi as saying sets such as the base Topps brand are already in the development stages for the 2004-05 season, although the company is taking a "wait and see" approach to actually printing anything.
That just leaves Upper Deck, which was scheduled to release its new $25-per-pack SP Legendary Signatures brand (devoted exclusively to retired players) late last week -- the first of what is expected to be four to seven brands for 2004-05.
According to the Beckett article, the Upper Deck-brand set (the company�s first of the year to feature current players) is scheduled for release in early December, with Upper Deck Classics, a $5-per-pack product, coming in late December. One to four more brands are expected to be released in 2005, depending upon the labor situation.
Upper Deck (14) -- Beehive, Black Diamond, Classic Portraits, Honor Roll, Ice, MVP, Premier Collection, Rookie Update, SP Authentic, SP Game-Used, SPx, Trilogy, Upper Deck and Victory.
Pacific�s 2004-05 set is nice, but also somewhat disappointing. At 300 cards it is the smallest-ever base set for the Pacific brand (which at one time totaled 450 or more cards per year). The fronts are attractive, but the backs only include bare-bones personal information (height, weight, etc.) along with complete career statistics. For the younger players, that leaves a lot of open space that could have and should have been filled by some biographical comments and/or career highlights.
The 10 "Cramer�s Choice Awards" found just 1 per 721 packs remain the top chase set, although there are also jersey cards and a retro 16-card "Philadelphia" insert set.
Upper Deck�s SP Legendary Signatures includes a 100-card base set with an average of one autograph card per pack.
Among the highlights are "Miracle Men" autographed cards featuring members of the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team, found only in boxes distributed in the USA. Non-autographed "Miracle Men" cards are found one per pack.
Upper Deck�s base-brand set is expected to be similar to past years� efforts, including short prints that may include some rookie cards.

Opening Weekend Game 2018 at Washington Nationals Park
Since Grandpa was in town for his birthday, we took him to a baseball game. The major league season just started. Since the Baltimore Orioles were playing away games, we bought tickets to see the Washington Nationals play the New York Mets in D.C. We live in the suburbs (it's debatable whether we live in a Baltimore suburb or a D.C. suburb) and took the Metro in. Even with five of us going, it was cheaper than paying for parking near the stadium.
Granddaughter and grandpa on the Metro
The Green Line of the Metro stops just a few blocks from the stadium's entrance. The road was even closed for the game, allowing fans to walk in the middle and entrepreneurs to sell Nats hats and shirts "at half price" before we got to the stadium.
Walking to the stadium
We had to go through the usual metal detectors and ticket scanners on the way in. While we waited our turn, we saw why the downtown parking is so expensive...gigantic silver baseballs decorate the parking decks!
Maybe they're leftover Christmas decorations?
The park has a lot of amenities that weren't around when I was a kid. It used to be you could only buy hotdogs and beer and such from stalls or guys walking the stands. Now there are multiple restaurants (I even saw a gluten free stand with a substantial menu) and even a playground. Luckily, our prescholar was home for nap time or we'd have had to spend a good bit of time in the climbing castle.
Appealing to the littlest fans
Since we were five patrons, we opted for the cheap seats. The stadium is small enough that we still had a good view.
View from section 230
We were as high as the scoreboard!
Guys were walking the stands selling popcorn, peanuts, cracker jacks, beer, etc. The most popular guy was the one selling hot chocolate. Since the game was in early April, the temperature for the afternoon game was around 42 degrees Fahrenheit. The guy went up our section with a full rack of hot chocolates and came back down with only one left.
Hot chocolate guy
The game was fun if a bit slow in the beginning. We had fun cheering for the team and saw some good defensive plays by both sides. The best was when the Nats pitcher caught a ball hit right back to him. The worst was when Nats manager Dave Martinez came out to argue with the umpire over his calls and his ejection of Anthony Rendon. That resulted in Martinez getting ejected. The Mets eventually won the game 3-2.
Zoomed in view from the first inning
The park had some interesting shenanigans during the TV broadcast commercial breaks. At one point, they had a music mash-up quiz where someone had to identify four singers from four song snippets. The prize was two cans of Budweiser, so not really high stakes if you ask me. Actually, the beer does cost twelve dollars per can, so maybe it's higher stakes than I am willing to admit.
Music mash-up on the scoreboard
Later on, they had a presidential race. Four people with gigantic foam heads raced from centerfield around the side to the Nats' dugout. They were the presidents from Mount Rushmore, so Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt. Roosevelt won.

Grandpa took the kids to get snacks early on. Later, my wife and I went in search of hot beverages (we should have bought from that hot chocolate guy) and discovered the Budweiser Brew House, a sit-down restaurant in center field. I guess normally tables wouldn't be available but at this game plenty of chilly outside seats were open for customers. I will let readers judge whether these seats had a better view or not.
From out table looking up at our other seats
Looking into the field
We felt guilty about leaving the kids and Grandpa behind, so we invited them down after we ordered hot tea and the Ginormous Pretzel.
Pretzelicious!
We hung out through the eighth inning when the score hit 3-2. We thought things looked bad and we were very cold by this point (still in the low forties), so we went home. The game was a lot of fun. Hopefully we'll go back in warmer weather!

Juliusz Paweł Schauder (* 21. September 1899 in Lemberg (ukrainisch Львів/Lwiw; polnisch Lwów, russisch Львов/Lwow); † September 1943) war ein polnischer Mathematiker.

Leben
Schauder wurde gleich nach seinem Abitur 1917 zum Ersten Weltkrieg einberufen, in dem er bald in italienische Kriegsgefangenschaft geriet. 1919 begann er sein Studium in Lwów, 1923 bereits wurde er bei Hugo Steinhaus promoviert. Da er an der Universität keine Stelle bekam, unterrichtete er als Gymnasiallehrer und betrieb seine mathematische Forschung nebenher. 1930 hat er Abhandlungen über Banachräume veröffentlicht (siehe auch Schauderbasis). Ein Stipendium ermöglichte ihm ab 1932 Forschungsreisen nach Leipzig und vor allem Paris, wo eine fruchtbare Zusammenarbeit mit Jean Leray begann. Nach Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges und der Besetzung Lwóws durch sowjetische Truppen wurde er schließlich zum Professor an der Universität Lwów ernannt.

Schauder war Jude, und nach dem Einmarsch deutscher Truppen in Lwów war es unmöglich für ihn, seine Arbeit fortzusetzen. Er besaß nicht einmal genügend Papier, um seine letzten Forschungsergebnisse niederzuschreiben, und er wurde 1943 von einer Patrouille der Gestapo ermordet. Seine Ehefrau starb im Konzentrationslager Majdanek bei Lublin, seine Tochter wurde von katholischen Nonnen gerettet und überlebte.

Er gehörte mit Stefan Banach, Hugo Steinhaus, Stanisław Marcin Ulam, Wacław Sierpiński, Karol Borsuk, Władysław Orlicz und anderen zum Lemberger Zweig der polnischen Mathematikerschule der Funktionalanalysis, die heute wesentliche Anwendungen in allen Bereichen der Analysis und in den Naturwissenschaften hat. Schauders bekanntestes Ergebnis ist der schaudersche Fixpunktsatz, der ein wichtiges abstraktes Werkzeug ist, um die Existenz von Lösungen zahlreicher Probleme zu beweisen. Weitere Konzepte, die er entwickelte, sind Schauder-Basen (die Verallgemeinerung von Orthonormalbasen in Hilbert-Räumen auf Banachräume) und das Leray-Schauder-Prinzip, das eine Methode darstellt, Lösungen für partielle Differentialgleichungen zu konstruieren.

Home World U.S., Brazilian lawmakers stand in solidarity against attempts to overturn elections
U.S., Brazilian lawmakers stand in solidarity against attempts to overturn elections
Jan. 12 (UPI) — In a stand against far-right extremist attempts to undermine democracy, more than 70 U.S. and Brazilian politicians are condemning efforts to overturn elections results in both countries.
In a statement released Wednesday night by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Min., the lawmakers condemned Sunday's attack by supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on the presidential palace, Congress and Supreme Court, and the Jan. 6, 2021, attack by supporters of former U.S. President Donald Trump on the U.S. Congress.
"As lawmakers in Brazil and the United States, we stand united against the efforts by authoritarian, anti-democratic far-right actors to overturn legitimate election results and overthrow our democracies," the lawmakers said.
The legislators also accused supporters of both presidents of coordinating efforts to attack Brazil's democracy.
In the statement, they said that following Brazil's Oct. 30 election, which was won by Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Brazilian congressman and Jair Bolsonaro's son Eduardo Bolsonaro met with Trump and his former aides, Jason Miller and Steven Bannon.
The lawmakers said the U.S. citizens encouraged Jair Bolsonaro to contest the election results in Brazil, which he did while attempting to invalidate thousands of votes.
"Democracies rely on the peaceful transfer of power. Just as far-right extremists are coordinating their efforts to undermine democracy, we must stand united in our efforts to protect it," the lawmakers said. "In order to save democracy in our two countries and around the world, we urge all elected officials in our two countries, regardless of party, to join our calls."
The lawmakers said all those involved in the efforts to undermine democracy should be held accountable.
Sunday's siege in Brazil had already drew comparisons to the Jan. 6 attack on Congress, which was an attempt to prevent the certification of Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States, and resulted in more than $1.5 million in damages.
At least five people were killed in the attack on the U.S. Congress, and more than 950 people have been arrested in connection.
During the attack in Brazil on Sunday, rioters vandalized offices and the presidential palace following the inauguration of Lula da Silva. Some 1,200 people have already been arrested for their involvement, authorities have said.
Both attacks are said to have been fueled by the rhetoric of the defeated presidents who challenged the results.
Jair Bolsonaro has been in Florida since late December, and said Monday that he had been hospitalized in Orlando after undergoing surgery in relation to a 2018 stabbing incident.
His presence in the United States has attracted condemnation from some Democratic lawmakers who have called for the former president to be extradited to Brazil in order to be held accountable for Sunday's riots.
The United States with Canada and Mexico earlier this week condemned the attack on Brazil's democracy, stating they stand with the its elected leaders.
"Our governments support the free will of the people of Brazil," Biden said in a joint statement with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. "We look forward to working with President Lula on delivering for our countries, the Western Hemisphere and beyond."

Emily Feng is NPR's Beijing correspondent.
Feng joined NPR in 2019. She roves around China, through its big cities and small villages, reporting on social trends as well as economic and political news coming out of Beijing. Feng contributes to NPR's newsmagazines, newscasts, podcasts, and digital platforms.
Previously, Feng served as a foreign correspondent for the Financial Times. Based in Beijing, she covered a broad range of topics, including human rights and technology. She also began extensively reporting on the region of Xinjiang during this period, becoming the first foreign reporter to uncover that China was separating Uyghur children from their parents and sending them to state-run orphanages, and discovering that China was introducing forced labor in Xinjiang's detention camps.
Feng's reporting has also let her nerd out over semiconductors and drones, travel to environmental wastelands, and write about girl bands and art. She's filed stories from the bottom of a coal mine; the top of a mosque in Qinghai; and from inside a cave Chairman Mao once lived in.
Her human rights coverage has been shortlisted by the British Journalism Awards in 2018, recognized by the Amnesty Media Awards in February 2019 and won a Human Rights Press merit that May. Her radio coverage of the coronavirus epidemic in China earned her another Human Rights Press Award, was recognized by the National Headliners Award, and won a Gracie Award. She was also named a Livingston Award finalist in 2021.
