Food Memories of Latin America
Come share your memories about food, migration, and identity in the Latino community! Food represents more than nutritional needs; it evokes memories and sentiments while also increasing trust and community. It also generates deep human connections and interactions. In this conversación entre vecinos, we will explore a different dimension of Latinidad through the oral histories of our panelists' lived experiences.

La famille Boudet est une famille française originaire de Caussade, dans le Tarn-et-Garonne, où ses membres étaient marchands depuis le . Deux de ses représentants furent titrés sous le Premier Empire : Jacques Boudet, chevalier de l'Empire le , et Étienne Boudet, baron de l'Empire le . Ils sont à l'origine de deux branches, toutes deux éteintes au .

Histoire

La famille Boudet est originaire de Caussade (Tarn-et-Garonne), près de Montauban, où elle est connue dès le . Antoine Boudet est attesté en 1549 et son fils Pierre se marie en 1542 à Caussade. Les Boudet devinrent progressivement des notables locaux. Marchands tanneurs au , ils prennent rang de négociants au , avec Pierre Boudet (1702-1747) et son frère Jean (1710-1782), établi en Hollande. Pierre épousa Anne Duc, la fille du riche armateur local devenu Bordelais Isaac Duc qui participa activement dans le commerce avec le nouveau monde. La femme d'Isaac, Antoinette du Roy d'Hauterive, issue de la noblesse regionale, descendait de beaucoup de grandes familles telles les de Raymond de Folmont, de Berail, de Morlhon etc. Le fils de Pierre, Pierre Paul (1739-1813), fut directeur des postes de Caussade.

Des quatre fils de Pierre Paul, trois participèrent aux guerres de la Révolution française, comme volontaires dès l'an II : Jacques (1760-1840), Étienne (1761-1828) et Pierre (1764-1826), le premier au  de chasseurs à cheval, les second et troisième au  d'infanterie (plus tard le  puis le  d'infanterie). Jacques Boudet resta dans la carrière et prit sa retraite comme colonel en 1805. Étienne Boudet, établi à Laval, s'engagea dans la politique comme maire de Laval et député de la Mayenne. Pierre retourna à Caussade vivre en propriétaire exploitant aisé. L'ainé des fils de Pierre Paul, prénommé aussi Pierre Paul (1758-1813) résidait à cette époque à Paris, étant employé au ministère de l'Intérieur.

Au , Pierre Paul Boudet (1799-1844), fils de Jacques, fervent révolutionnaire de 1830, son fils Léopold (1837-1908), ses petits-fils Gaston (1861- ? ), Georges (1863-1902) et Albert (1866- ? ) eurent diverses fonctions dans l'État, comme administrateurs préfectoraux, coloniaux ou diplomates.

Northwest Semitic is a division of the Semitic languages comprising the indigenous languages of the Levant. It would have emerged from Common Semitic in the Early Bronze Age. It is first attested in proper names identified as Amorite in the Middle Bronze Age. The oldest coherent texts are in Ugaritic, dating to the Late Bronze Age, which by the time of the Bronze Age collapse are joined by Old Aramaic, and by the Iron Age by the Canaanite languages (Phoenician and Hebrew).
Brockelmann's Canaanite sub-group includes Ugaritic, Phoenician and Hebrew. Some scholars would now separate Ugaritic as a separate branch of Northwest Semitic alongside Canaanite. Central Semitic is a proposed intermediate group comprising Northwest Semitic and Arabic. Central Semitic is either a subgroup of West Semitic or a top-level division of Semitic alongside East Semitic and South Semitic. SIL Ethnologue in its system of classification (of living languages only) eliminates Northwest Semitic entirely by joining Canaanite and Arabic in a "South-Central" group which together with Aramaic forms Central Semitic.
During the early 1st millennium, the Phoenician language was spread throughout the Mediterranean by Phoenician colonists, most notably to Carthage in today's Tunisia. The Phoenician alphabet is of fundamental importance in human history as the source and ancestor of the Greek alphabet, the later Latin alphabet, the Aramaic (Square Hebrew), Syriac, and Arabic writing systems, Germanic runes, and ultimately Cyrillic.
After the Muslim conquests of the 7th century, Arabic began to gradually replace Aramaic throughout the region. Aramaic survives today as the liturgical language of the Syriac Christian Church, and is spoken in modern dialects by small and endangered populations scattered throughout the Middle East. There is also an Aramaic substratum in Levantine Arabic.

Q: How to change Yes/No option in confirmation dialog? I want to change YES and NO to something like Agree/Disagree.
What should I do?
int reply = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,
                                          "Are you want to continue the process?",
                                          "YES?",
                                          JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);

A: You can use the options parameter to push custom options to showOptionDialog;
Object[] options = { "Agree", "Disagree" };
JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(null, "These are my terms", "Terms",
    JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION, JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE, null,
    options, options[0]);

A: You can do the following
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
String[] options = new String[2];
options[0] = "Agree";
options[1] = "Disagree";
JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(frame.getContentPane(), "Message!", "Title", 0, JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE, null, options, null);

output is as follows

For more details about the showOptionDialog() function see here.

A: You might want to checkout JOptionPane.showOptionDialog, that will let you push in a text parameter (in array form).

A: Try this one:
See JOptionPane documentation
JOptionPane(Object message, int messageType, int optionType,
        Icon icon, Object[] options, Object initialValue)

where options specifies the buttons with initialValue. So you can change them
Example
Object[] options = { "Agree", "Disagree" };

JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(null, "Are you want to continue the process?", "information",
JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION, JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE,
null, options, options[0]);

Q: Ruby on Rails: Problem adding Transient Attribute to Object for JSON Serializaton In my Item controller, I wish to add a transient (i.e. non-persistent) attribute to my model object before rendering it as JSON.
def show

    @item = Item.find(params[:id])
    @item.comment = "some comment"

    render :json => @item
end

My Item  class looks like this:
class Item < ActiveRecord::Base

    attr_accessor :comment
    @comment

end
My problem is that the comment instance variable is not being rendered in the JSON. Everything that is persistent appears in the JSON output. Do I need to override the to_json method in order to make this work? Or is there an easier way to ensure that the comment is rendered in the JSON output?
Thanks for your help.
-------------- Update
This is the solution that has evolved out of Chubas suggestion. Overriding the to_json method on Item:
def to_json(options = {})

    options[:methods] = :comment;

    super(options)

end

Would love to know if this concurs with your thoughts, Chubas.

A: I would recommend you construct the object to be converted to json yourself. This both will remove the problem you're having with the comment and will prevent you from accidentally exposing information you don't want to provide.
Something like:
render :json => {
  :item => {
    :name => 'Some Item',
    ...
    :comment => 'Some Comment
  }
}

A: If you want more control over what to render, rather than creating the json object in the controller (bad design), override the method as_json in the model, calling super and using the methods option to include :comment. You can see the default behavior here

A: You should be able to do this by using :include
@item.to_json(:include => :comments)

or :methods
@item.to_json(:methods => :comments)

A: I don't think you should overwrite the to_json method. Why not just add the attributes to the object's hash before calling to_json?
@object[:new_attr] = value

Vancouver Whitecaps FC U-17 Boys Prospects encountered wintry conditions in the Netherlands over the weekend.The team's first game against Barking Abbey (a touring English academy team) had to be called 15 minutes into the second half, as the snow had completely covered the field. By that time, all the boys had been able to get some of the jet-lag out and, even though they were tired, it was good to have been in action.On Saturday, it was on to the Blauw-Wit Tournament, where we would face some impressive opposition. The weather was still very cold and the winds were strong. Rain and wet snow fell intermittently all day.In the first game against Vitesse Arnhem (whose first team we watched play against NAC Breda in a spectacular Dutch Eredivisie game the night before), the young Whitecaps immediately took the initiative with high pressure and quick attacking play against the current number seven-ranked side in the Dutch U-17 Eredivisie. This resulted in two early chances, the first one well saved by the Vitesse goalkeeper, but the second one got the Whitecaps on the scoreboard.It was Jordan Whitehead that pressured the left fullback and won the ball, which he immediately passed to Brayden Gant. He played the ball forward in the path of Sahil Sandhu, who beat one defender and slotted the ball coolly past the goalkeeper for 1-0. The rest of the first half set the tone for the rest of the tournament, as the Whitecaps created a number of good chances, but failed to capitalize.In the second half, and with the wind at their backs, Vitesse pressured hard and scored the equalizer on a well-executed corner, as an Arnhem midfielder came from deep to head the ball home for 1-1. The second half maintained a very high pace and there were chances on both sides to break the deadlock, but both teams had to settle for the draw.In the second group game, the Whitecaps played Germany's VFB Hilden (Residency player Navid Mashinchi's former club), who needed a result after they were beaten 1-0 by the Danish side Koge in their first game. Against the run of play, as the Whitecaps were completely dominating the game and creating chances at will with a varied attack, Hilden took the lead just before halftime. From that moment on, the young Germans did everything to interrupt the flow of the play, kicking balls way off the park, embellishing injuries, and arguing calls. Still, the young Whitecaps generated many chances, but no one was able to hit the back of the net, and Hilden held on for the 1-0 win.The third group game would determine if we would end up in the one to four bracket or the five to eight bracket. We knew we had to beat Koge in order to finish second in the group. Again, the Whitecaps took the initiative and created chances, but the story seemed to repeat itself when the Danes scored on their first chance after 15 minutes.Now needing two goals, the Whitecaps continued their torrid pace in attack and got one back when Brayden Gant scored early on a low cross from Ian Clark. The Danes had to endure wave after wave of attack for the remainder of the game, but either the goalkeeper got in the way or the woodwork (Ian Clark with three minutes remaining) stopped the Whitecaps from scoring, as the game finished in a 1-1 draw.In sunny and cold conditions, the tournament's second day saw crossover and placement action, with the Whitecaps playing the team from assistant coach Les Krivak's hometown of Kosice in Slovakia. Maybe the Whitecaps put a bit too much pressure on themselves to win this game for Les because the performance was not as crisp and many of the one-versus-one battles were lost to a very hungry Kosice side. With one goal in each half, Kosice claimed a 2-0 win and advanced to the fifth-place game, while the Whitecaps had to look forward to a game for seventh place.It seemed that in the final tournament game that the Whitecaps released all of their frustrations from their previous missed chances by thrashing Danish club Roskilde 8-1. Goals from Sahil Sandhu (2), Riley Newport (2), Ben Hemphill (2), Brandon Ho and Jordan Whitehead gave Vancouver the result. Impressive was how the Whitecaps kept their cool against an undisciplined and physical Roskilde side.It was Vitesse Arnhem – for whom the Whitecaps drew with in their first game –that won the Blauw-Wit Tournament with a 2-1 victory over fellow Dutch side FC Groningen. This showed the young Whitecaps that they can play with some of the best teams in Holland and Europe, but that it comes down to doing all the little things right - being focused from beginning to end, winning the individual battles and capitalizing on their chances. With that experience, the Whitecaps will go into their second, one-day tournament at BVV Barendrecht on Monday. It is a tournament that has been shrunk down because of the field conditions. The six-team tournament will have short games (2 x 15 minutes) and will provide the Whitecaps with some excellent opposition to face such as NAC Breda, VVV Venlo, Shutoka (Japan), BVV Barendrecht (host) and RBC Roosendaal.

Auto executives attending the auto show in Detrot say political uncertainty around trade disputes and a government shutdown is costing the industry. Chris Dignam reports.
The world's biggest car-makers and car-lovers have flocked to Detroit this week ... for flashy, new sports cars, trucks and electrified concepts.
But auto executives' attention is on Washington, where they say political uncertainty around trade disputes and a government shutdown ... is costing the industry.
Reuters Editor Ben Klayman is in Detroit.
"All the automakers have been feeling these trade disputes or tariffs, and what they love most of all is certainty. Automakers love to plan five years out. So things like this are very upsetting to them. Fiat Chrysler's CEO Mike Manley told us that the higher tariffs are going to add like $300 to $500 million dollars to their costs this year. And GM and Ford have said similar things about their costs. Last year, all of the automakers talked about an additional one billion dollars in costs each."
President Donald Trump's efforts to revamp trade and environmental policies only compounding concern, as forecasters have predicted a slowdown in vehicle demand in the U.S. and China in 2019.
"They're hit on many levels. There's the basic stuff like higher steel and aluminum costs - which they would like to get resolved so that those costs will go back down. But there's even smaller things like the government shutdown for example. It has barred Fiat Chrysler from getting certification of a new heavy-duty pickup truck."
U.S. trade officials are negotiating a new deal with China in hopes of avoiding new tariffs. At the same time, a new regional trade agreement with Canada and Mexico still needs congressional approval - all of it adding to the uncertainty that automakers hate.

Following the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, an uneasy standoff developed between the US-led NATO Allies and a Soviet Union-dominated Eastern Bloc. For the next four decades the two sides prepared for a conflict that thankfully never happened. This 'Cold War' came to an end following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, but decades later traces of these mighty war machines still remain around the world. Abandoned Cold War Places explores many of these relics, including such remarkable sites as the Davis-Monthan AFB in Arizona, an immense aircraft scrapyard housing more than 4000 USAF aircraft; the vast, remote former nuclear test site at Semipalatinsk in Kazakhstan; disused concrete pagodas on the east coast of England, once an Atomic Weapons Research Establishment test site; wrecked Foxtrot-class submarines, icebound in Vladivostok in Russia's far east; the Santa Susana Field Laboratory in California, a place contaminated by nuclear accidents; and old Soviet fighter aircraft left for scrap in the wastes of Siberia. With 170 outstanding photographs, Abandoned Cold War Places is a fascinating pictorial examination of the remnants of a global superpower rivalry that defined the world for over 40 years.

Garden fresh basil is such a yummy treat all summer long, and I crave the fresh harvest flavor during our long winter months. Harvesting and storing basil leaves is one of the first things I do as the growing season starts to wind down in late summer, so I can preserve as much of the amazing flavor as I can for winter enjoyment.
Basil is one of those plants that you can harvest from again and again, all summer long. It's so awesome to be able to walk out the back door and harvest garden fresh herbs for cooking, and to be able to have a continuous harvest.
To keep those yummy leaves growing, just keep pinching off the flowers as they start to grow and that will help encourage your basil plant to grow more leaves instead of using all of it's energy on flowering.
But alas, the time for harvesting and storing basil leaves will come and you'll want to preserve as much as you can. I'm going to be honest… harvesting basil leaves takes some time, but it's totally worth it. When it comes to storing basil leaves, you have lots of options (including endless recipes to choose from, but I'll save that topic for a different post).
The best time to harvest basil is when the plant has lots of leaves, but hasn't started to flower yet. If your basil is already flowering, don't worry! You can still harvest the leaves after the plant is flowering, you just might not get as large of a harvest.
The leaves are what you are after when you're harvesting basil. It can be a bit of a tedious job, so make sure you're not in a rush to get it done. Also, plan to harvest your basil leaves when it's not super hot out, and keep the leaves out of direct sun while harvesting to keep them from wilting. To make it a bit easier, you can cut entire stems and bring a whole bunch inside the house for harvesting or fresh cooking.
To harvest basil leaves, simply pinch off each individual leaf. Mildew can be a big problem with basil, so make sure to select only the healthiest, freshest leaves. Check each leaf as you harvest, and discard any leaves that show signs of disease, or leaves that are starting to turn yellow or brown.
As you harvest your basil, drop the leaves into a dry bowl or basket. You don't want basil leaves soaking in water for any period of time because they will turn brown quickly.
Though harvesting basil leaves is a bit tedious, storing the leaves is much easier. It's best to use up freshly harvested basil leaves within a few days after you harvest it.
If you have basil leaves you want to keep in the fridge, make sure they are completely dry before storing them. Wet basil leaves will turn brown very quickly. I use my salad spinner to spin dry my basil leaves then I can store them in the fridge right in the salad spinner. It works great and the basil leaves will stay fresh for a few days in the fridge. You can also use an herb keeper to store fresh herbs in the fridge.
By far the easiest way to store basil leaves for the long term is by freezing them. Plus, frozen basil keeps it's flavor better than dried basil. You don't even have to chop basil leaves up before freezing them. Once they're frozen, the become very brittle, and you can crush them up really easily right in the freezer bag if you want.
Basil freezes very well, and it doesn't take much prep time either. All you need to do is put the leaves into freezer bags and pop them into the freezer. Again, it's best to make sure the leaves are pretty dry before freezing them this way (or you might end up with one giant basil popsicle).
You could also flash freeze individual leaves on a cookie sheet for 10-20 minutes before putting them into the freezer bag, and that way they won't stick together at all. But if you do want basil popsicles, you can use herb freezer trays or mini ice cube trays to freeze them as well.
Another way to preserve your fresh harvest of basil leaves is to dry them in dehydrator or a warm oven, then crush or grind them up and fill a spice jar for your pantry. I use my mini food processor to crush the leaves for my spice rack, but you can also buy an herb grinder too. Like I said, dried basil leaves don't retain their flavor as well as they do when you freeze them… but it still adds a nice flavor and aroma to your favorite dishes. Plus it helps to keep my spice rack full!
You could also make a batch of garden fresh basil pesto with your basil leaves, and freeze that for later use. Pesto freezes just as well as basil leaves do (you can also use the herb freezer trays or mini ice cube trays to freeze pesto in perfect portions for cooking!).
Harvesting and storing basil leaves for winter use is well worth the effort. (Trust me, you will thank me later!) Before you store your basil though, make sure you enjoy a fresh capris salad (with tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese and balsamic vinegar… heavenly!!). Or drop a few fresh leaves into your favorite pasta dish or salad. Trust me, you'll want to savor that amazing flavor because there's nothing else like it.
Share your tips for harvesting and storing basil leaves in the comments section below.
Thanks for the great article! Do you know how long basil can be kept at room temperature after you harvest it? I would love to pick some in the morning, travel (via air) across the country, then put it in a refrigerator until we're ready to make some pesto at our destination. I'm guessing it will be a maximum of 8 hours between harvest and refrigeration. Do you know if this will work? Thanks!
I'm afraid that your basil leaves probably won't last that long without refrigeration after harvesting them. They will wilt and likely turn brown before you get to your destination. Instead, you could try taking stem cuttings and putting them in water, like a flowers in a vase, and transporting them that way. Just be sure to keep them out of the heat or sun while transporting them. Good luck!

Edward Chip Monck
March 5, 2016 Woodstock Whisperer	3 Comments
Celebrating his birthday, March 5, 1939
Chip Monck (from chipmonck.com)
http://woodstockwhisperer.info/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Ovation-Channel-Woodstock-Chip-Monck-Interview-Part-1-mp3cut.net_.mp3
The above audio clip is from an interview with Chip Monck in 2009 on the 40th Anniversary of the Woodstock Festival. Glenn A Baker interviewd Monck as part of the Ovation Channel show 'Monday Night Legends'
The chipmonck.com site starts with these questions:
Have you heard of Woodstock?
Monterey Pop?
The Rolling Stones Tour?
Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals?
The Concert for Bangladesh?
And then answers those questions with this simple answer:
He staged them all
Chip Monck
Edward Herbert Beresford "Chip" Monck was born in Wellesley, Massachusetts. He became a lighting and staging designer, but as the above references suggest, he did those things for some of the most iconic musical events of the 20th century.
When he was 20, Monck began working at the Greenwich Village nightclub The Village Gate. While at the gate, his young friend Bobby Dylan worked in Monck's basement apartment. Reputedly, Dylan wrote "A Hard Rain's a'Gonna Fall" and "The Ballad of Hollis Brown" there.
Monck recalls about Dylan, "He spied the IBM Selectric [typewriter]. He typed while I worked at the Gate. That gave him like six hours, he'd just drift in, I gave him a key and he'd sit down and type and then I'd come back in and he'd go, or we'd go and have a drink or something. We really never spoke much."
While still working at the Village Gate, Monck also began working with the Newport Folk Festival, and the Newport Jazz Festival.
If those credentials aren't enough, in 1967 he lit the Monterey International Pop Festival where Jimi Hendrix's American coming out party occurred.
He also worked with Bill Graham in renovating Graham's Fillmore theaters.
Woodstock Ventures hired Monck to do the lighting at their Fair. The last minute change of venue from Wallkill, NY to Bethel, NY forced Monck to eliminate much of his planned lighting. Spotlights became the primary source.
But to those who attended the Woodstock Music and Art Fair, Chip Monck's voice along with John Morris's became the reassuring threads that connected each band. Both men took turns not just introducing performers, but giving advice, recommending choices, and explaining what was going on at a time when social media didn't exist as a term.
Perhaps the most famous quote of that weekend was Monck's: ""The warning that I've received, you might take it with however many grains of salt you wish, that the brown acid that is circulating around is not specifically too good. It is suggested that you stay away from that. But it's your own trip, be my guest. But please be advised that there's a warning, okay?"
A LOT more after Woodstock
For years he helped light Rolling Stone tours and he received Tony nominations in lighting for The Rocky Horror Show and Bette Midler's Divine Madness.
He was always busy working many major venues. In 1989 he helped set up Pope John Paul's papal mass at L.A.'s Dodger Stadium.
In the early 90s, Monck moved to Australia, his wife's home country, where he continued in the lighting and design business. (Monck's wife died in 2002)
He continues to live Melbourne, his focus mainly on corporate and retail work. In 2003, he received the Parnelli Lifetime Achievement Award. The award recognizes pioneering, influential professionals and their contributions, honoring both individuals and companies. It is the Oscar of the live event industry.Here is the video that introduced that presentation.

R Kelly 's Legal Team Is Calling BS on New Alleged Charges
BridgetEE
Source: Live Nation / Live Nation
R Kelly is a trending story once again as his legal problems have taken a turn for the worse with Kell's already facing 22 charges of sexual abuse against young girls and women in which his trial date is set for August 9th. You would think what else could go wrong? 22 more women? No, how about two teenage boys.
According to prosecutors in the early 2000's the pied piper of R&B tooted his horn to 17 year old boy who he met at a Chicago McDonald's. Then the 17 year old boy allegedly hooked R Kelly up with a 16 year old boy, and Kell's allegedly forced both boys to have sex with several of his girlfriends.
Today one of R Kelly's legal team members, Nicole Blank Becker, is saying that the prosecution is full of it and that she will "vigorously oppose" the new evidence. According to Attorney Becker the prosecution is just trying to make her client look worse in the publics eye with the trial literally right around the corner.
"This is nothing more than a veiled effort to pile on to further shape the public's perception in this case ignoring that Mr. Kelly is presumed innocent until proven otherwise." "As the trial nears were are looking forward to the truth prevailing."
See the video below to see what's going on with the new alleged evidence against R Kelly

Q: How CLR handles extern method calls in C# I want to ask why all extern method calls are static?
How the CLR handles these calls?

A: Extern method calls are to unmanaged code. As such, it doesn't make sense to be called on a (managed) object instance - the first (hidden) argument in an instance method is the instance reference, aka this. Typically, extern methods just involve simple types (primitives, string, etc) - not objects (except perhaps arrays - and even they are often resolved to IntPtr first).

A: extern calls also must generally conform to a "C-style" API, and C doesn't know anything about objects, thus the calls are static.
My statement isn't 100% true as there is a ThisCall calling convention which can be used with [DllImport] as an aid in calling C++ methods.

C. S. Quinn's "Dark Stars"
CS Quinn is a bestselling author and journalist for The Times, The Guardian and The Mirror, alongside many magazines. Prior to journalism and fiction, her background in historic research won prestigious postgraduate funding from the British Art Council.
Combining historical research with far-flung travel experiences helped her create The Thief Taker series.
Here Quinn dreamcasts an adaptation of Dark Stars, the third book in the series:
I often develop characters with half a mind to actors or celebrities, just for fun. But Charlie Tuesday with his broken nose, scruffy blond hair and cockney charm is a tricky one. Robert Pattison is the picture currently on my mood board, but having just seen Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, I think Eddie Redmayne would also be amazing.
I wrote 'gypsy with a knife and a grudge' Lily Boswell with Natalia Tena in mind – she's an actress of Spanish heritage who features in Harry Potter and Game of Thrones, but it's her singing for gypsy funk band Molotov Jukebox that had me thinking of this role.
The other characters are based on real people from the 1600s. King Charles II, his tempestuous mistress Lady Castlemaine … So I tend to use portraits and descriptions from the time. But I think Rufus Sewell made the best Charles II I've seen and I would love see someone uber-sexy cast as his troubled mistress - Barbara tends to get played by an older woman, but she was only 27 in her prime.

Want to prevent teen smoking? Understand why teens smoke and how to talk to your teen about cigarettes.
Teen smoking might begin innocently, but it can become a long-term problem. In fact, most adult smokers begin smoking as teenagers.
To help your teen avoid taking that first puff, follow these tips.
Teen smoking is more common among teens whose parents smoke. If you smoke, quit. The earlier you stop smoking, the less likely your teen is to become a smoker. Ask your doctor about ways to stop smoking.
In the meantime, don't smoke in the house, in the car or in front of your teen, and don't leave cigarettes where your teen might find them. Explain to your teen how unhappy you are with your smoking, how difficult it is to quit and that you'll keep trying until you stop smoking for good.
Teen smoking can be a form of rebellion or a way to fit in with a particular group of friends. Some teens begin smoking to control their weight. Others smoke to feel cool or independent.
Ask your teen how he or she feels about smoking and if any of your teen's friends smoke. Applaud your teen's good choices, and talk about the consequences of bad choices. You might also talk with your teen about how tobacco companies try to influence ideas about smoking — such as through advertisements or product placement in movies that create the perception that smoking is glamorous and more prevalent than it really is.
You might feel as if your teen doesn't hear a word you say, but say it anyway. Tell your teen that smoking isn't allowed. Your disapproval will have more impact than you think. Teens whose parents set the firmest smoking restrictions tend to smoke less than do teens whose parents don't set smoking limits. The same goes for teens who feel close to their parents.
Remind your teen that smoking is dirty and smelly. Smoking gives you bad breath and wrinkles. Smoking makes your clothes, breath and hair smell, and it turns your teeth yellow. Smoking can leave you with a chronic cough and less energy for sports and other fun activities.
Smoking is expensive. Help your teen calculate the weekly, monthly or yearly cost of smoking a pack a day. You might compare the cost of smoking with that of electronic devices, clothes or other teen essentials.
Give your teen the tools he or she needs to refuse cigarettes. Rehearse how to handle tough social situations. It might be as simple as saying, "No thanks. I don't smoke."
Most teens believe occasional smoking won't cause them to become addicted and that, if they become regular smokers, they can stop smoking anytime they want. Teens, however, can become addicted with intermittent and relatively low levels of smoking. Remind your teen that most adult smokers start as teens. Once you're hooked, it's tough to quit.
Teens tend to assume that bad things happen only to other people. Most teens think cancer, heart attacks and strokes occur only in the abstract. Use loved ones, friends, neighbors or celebrities who've been ill as real-life examples.
Smokeless tobacco, clove cigarettes (kreteks) and candy-flavored cigarettes (bidis) are sometimes mistaken as less harmful or addictive than are traditional cigarettes. Teens also often think that water pipe (hookah) smoking is safe. Nothing could be further from the truth. Kreteks, bidis and hookahs all carry health risks. Don't let your teen be fooled.
Electronic cigarettes are battery-operated devices designed to look like regular tobacco cigarettes. In an electronic cigarette, an atomizer heats a liquid containing nicotine, turning it into a vapor that can be inhaled and creating a vapor cloud that resembles cigarette smoke. Manufacturers claim that electronic cigarettes are a safe alternative to conventional cigarettes but there are safety concerns about potentially harmful chemicals being inhaled during use. Electronic cigarettes can get teens hooked on nicotine, too.
Research also suggests that teens who have used electronic cigarettes are more likely to try other forms of smoking within the following year than are those who have never used electronic cigarettes.
Take an active stance against teen smoking. Participate in local and school-sponsored smoking prevention campaigns. Support efforts to make public places smoke-free and increase taxes on tobacco products. Your actions can help reduce the odds that your teen will become a smoker.
If your teen has already started smoking, avoid threats and ultimatums. Instead, find out why your teen is smoking — and discuss ways to help your teen quit. Avoiding or stopping smoking is one of the best things your teen can do for a lifetime of good health.

When Stevie Rose had an itch for fame, at the expense of her uncle Cletus, she was put on a plane to see Dallas. This is where she learned about herself and why she showed her uncle so much disrespect.
Stevie Rose sang back up vocals for her uncle Cletus' band in Austin. She was paid well, more than any other band member actually. Wanting to be a solo star caused young and defiant Stevie to throw tantrums by not showing up for gigs, stepping up to the mic and playing her own music without alerting the band etc. Cletus had enough of this and handed Stevie a ticket one afternoon. "Don't come back to the band until you have this old fashioned lickin handled girl".
Stevie arrives at the address as she was told. Dallas was waiting for her and had some choice words about her behavior. Stevie was flip and very spoiled by his observation. He knew what needed to be done.
He has Stevie peel a switch for him. She did pretty well for never having experienced this. Dallas has a new method to keep her hands from coming back and presenting the perfect, uplifting target. She is switched a long time and the looks of a mixture of defiance and pain will have you wanting to watch this again and again!
This is followed by a long, super hard hand spanking, then two hairbrushes, two intense razor straps and followed by an intense paddling with a lexan paddle that actually cracked at the handle from this paddling. Lexan is 'bullet proof glass'!
This is an amazing DVD. Stevie Rose gets a punishment well deserving our title. You will love how raw her hide gets!

        return resp;
     }

This is just one of many way's I've attempted to download the zip file, I've also referenced this link and duplicated the code to no avail.
I'm at a loss as to what I'm doing incorrectly to enable large zip files to be downloaded.
Update: Per request in comments i've tried using "application/octet-stream" instead - still no luck - same error.
Also - one more thing to note - when i download smaller zip files using this code it works fine, it just seems once the file is too large is starts to bomb.
Exception Update:
I was able to pull the exception details:
    {
        "Message": "An error has occurred.",
        "ExceptionMessage": "Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.",
        "ExceptionType": "System.OutOfMemoryException",
        "StackTrace": "   at System.IO.MemoryStream.set_Capacity(Int32 value)\r\n   at System.IO.MemoryStream.EnsureCapacity(Int32 value)\r\n   at System.IO.MemoryStream.Write(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 count)\r\n   at System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream.WriteDeflaterOutput(Boolean isAsync)\r\n   at System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream.PurgeBuffers(Boolean disposing)\r\n   at System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream.Dispose(Boolean disposing)\r\n   at System.IO.Stream.Close()\r\n   at System.IO.Compression.GZipStream.Dispose(Boolean disposing)\r\n   at System.IO.Stream.Close()\r\n   at System.IO.Stream.Dispose()\r\n   at System.Net.Http.Extensions.Compression.Core.Compressors.BaseCompressor.<Compress>d__4.MoveNext()\r\n--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---\r\n   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task)\r\n   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)\r\n   at System.Net.Http.Extensions.Compression.Core.Models.CompressedContent.<SerializeToStreamAsync>d__4.MoveNext()\r\n--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---\r\n   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task)\r\n   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)\r\n   at System.Web.Http.Owin.HttpMessageHandlerAdapter.<BufferResponseContentAsync>d__13.MoveNext()"
    }

A: Your stack trace indicates that the exception is thrown when a DeflateStream is closed. This stream apparently writes to a MemoryStream and closing the DeflateStream outputs the entire (compressed) response to the MemoryStream. That is, the byte array buffer in the MemoryStream is allocated and it fails with an OutOfMemoryException if the compressed output is too big.
It is somewhat surprising that the compressed response is buffered in memory because a web server at least conceptually is able to stream data from a file through a compressor and to the network without having to read and compress the entire file into memory first.
From the comments I guess that you are using the NuGet package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Extensions.Compression.Server in your Web API application. While I can't claim that I fully understand how it works I did try to decompile it and from what I can see sending a response through this middleware results in the output being buffered not once but actually twice. (The BaseCompressor.Compress() method writes to a MemoryStream created by StreamManager.GetStream() and this MemoryStream is then read into an array of bytes effectively doubling the memory requirement of the compressor.)
Based on this analysis you should turn off compression for big responses and this seems to have fixed your problem by applying the attribute [Compression(Enabled = false)] to your controller action.
It is a bit ironic that you are unable to compress big responses which might benefit the most from being compressed. However, if you run your Web API on top of a web server like IIS that natively supports response compression you can completely remove the middleware and instead turn compression on in the web server (it is called dynamic compression in IIS). Native compression probably also performs better than compression done in managed code.

Home World Israel Is Israel Really An Independent State?
Is Israel Really An Independent State?
Nurit Greenger
Fri April 27, 2012
Today, the state of Israel will be celebrating her 64th birthday. The Jewish state is commemorating that she had prevailed, when in 1948, the day after David Ben-Gurion, at that time the Executive Head of the World Zionist Organization, the chairman of the Jewish Agency for Palestine and the leader of the Yishuv, declared her Independence, five Arab states armies converged and attacked her with one goal in mind to annihilate her, there and then, on the day she was conceived.
The Declaration of Israel's Independence took place on 14 May 1948, 5 Iyar 5708, the day before the British Mandate was due to expire. For me it is an emotional day because I was conceived almost at the same time the Jewish state was born and we are childhood friends. We went through all the pain and joy together.
This morning, while sitting at my desk going over the news and searching for news about Israel's Independence Day celebrations, on the Internet, a thought came to my mind, is Israel really an independent state? And the answer that came from my inner being was, NO; Israel is not an independent state.
Yes, Israel was given the international approval as a sovereign state and was accepted as a state among the nations. She is a member of the United Nations Organization and her leaders are invited to the halls of other nations' leaders. But she is not independent.
Though Israel has all the components of an independent state she is not.
Israel is not independent first and foremost because she is the only country in the world that is held to standards that no other nation is held to; the nations of the world deal with Israel based on hypocrisy they expect her to follow rules no other nation would;
Israel is not independent because she is the only country in the world that has her legitimacy is always challenged;
Israel is not independent because all that she or her citizens do they are constantly vilified by [un]Jews and non-Jews;
Israel is not independent because the world treats her as a pariah state, not as equal;
Israel is not independent because the world has not accepted that the land of Israel is God's given land to the Jewish people;
The ancient Jewish sovereignty was reestablished, third time, after a third of the Jewish nation was exterminated by the anti-Semitic Nazis; yet, anti-Semitism today is alive and as strong as it was in 1938 and has not vanished from the hearts and minds of most. The world is still suffering from this contagious and incurable disease called anti-Semitism, now, attacking, collectively, the six million Jews living in Israel.
Israel is not independent because her leaders still have a ghetto mentality of doing all in their power to go along to get along with even some of the scum on earth nations;
Israel is not independent because when she goes to war the world's powers will not permit her to win it and vanquish her enemies; on the 59th minute they always impose a cease fire on her, leaving the war inconclusive and an open door for another war to come;
Israel is not independent because her leaders play into the hands of her enemies;
Israel is not independent because she has not asserted, to herself, that all the land, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea legally belongs to her;
Israel is not independent because she constantly succumbs to world pressure and dismantles Jewish communities built on land that legally belongs to the state;
Israel is not independent because she still takes her marching orders from the USA and the European Union;
Israel is not independent because when some anarchist is lightly bashed by an IDF commander, for more than a valid reason, instead of this punk being carried out of the country on a stretcher, the IDF commander is dismissed from his command post and Israel apologies and makes excuse to the world;
Israel is not independent because the world has not accepted that Jerusalem is the capital of the Jewish state; Jerusalem is still considered political collateral;
Israel is not independent because her citizens, the people of the Bible, have removed themselves from the Covenant their forefather, Abraham, signed with God;
Israel is not independent because she has given the holiest to the Jews, Temple Mount, to be managed by her archenemy, the Arab-Moslems;
Israel is not independent because she gave control of Hebron, the cradle of Jewish heritage, to her archenemy, the Arab-Moslems;
Israel is not independent because she had let go of her control over her ancient heritage sites;
Israel is not independent because her education system has removed Bible studies and Jewish heritage knowledge and history from the education curriculum and the young generations, her future leaders, have no idea why they are fighting over that precious sliver of land along the blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea;
In an upcoming book by Shmuel HaLevi, he argues that one prime condition to be independent is to WANT to be independent and Israel cannot be independent if she WANTS to be LIKE all other Nations.
The expressed determination to lead the Jewish people into being like all other peoples is promoting an illogical statement of want, because no one nation is like another. Otherwise, the axiom of identification comes to play and all are one and the same.
David Ben-Gurion got it all wrong on the independence of Israel subject and on forgiving, for all practical purposes, Nazi Germany for killing six million Jews and others who harmed the Jewish nation. That was terrible betrayal of principles, which set up conditions that led to Israel's very existence to be terminally compromised.
Out of that terrible act of self destruction, for the sake of hiding from reality, the Ben-Gurion's disciples run amok. Using that expression of LIKE all other nations they have turned the intent into a destruction of all that is uniquely Jewish, because one cannot be "like all other nations" if one is Jewish.
The rest is history and we see it before our own eyes. Destruction, abandonment of Jewish heritage and Judaism, denial of history and violence of Jews against JEWS and stepping on Jewish core rights.
If and when all of the mentioned above are overturned and Israel begins acting as a 64 years old grownup and, in this case, exactly like all other nations act, with the interest of the country and her citizens to be the only priority in mind, then she will be gaining her independence.
I will suggest to start with the following:
1. Add all of Judea and Samaria to the sovereignty of the state under her laws;
2. End all dismantling of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria and declare extensive building programs in those terrorists;
3. Allow Jews to go and freely pray on Temple Mount.
The truth must be told. Israel is a sovereign state but not yet an independent state.
I am happy that the Jewish nation owns it sovereignty. The people of the Book must look forward with great hope that in time to come their state will become independent as well.
I am grateful I was born Jewish because, because among all the double standards, the bigotry and hypocrisy the world bestows upon us, we, Jews, own something no one has, it is called Judaism.
Happy Birthday the nation state of the Jewish people, Israel.

Q: How To Use JSON Returned From a URL in Javascript? I have a URL which returns JSON data. I would then like to use some parts of this data in Javascript. At the moment I'm getting an 'Uncaught Syntax Error' in the console when I run it.
My code looks like this:
var myAPIcall = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=SW1A1AA&callback=?";

$.get(myAPIcall, function( data ) {
    console.log("Place ID = " + data.results.place_id);
}, "json" );

It's the JSON itself which is causing the error.
How can I get the JSON (specifically the place_id, but I'd be happy with any of it) to display with the console.log? If I understand that much I should then be able to move on and use the place_id in my code.
Thanks

A: Check our query. Removing callback=? will result in a valid JSON :-)

var myAPIcall = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=SW1A1AA";

    $.getJSON(myAPIcall, function( data ) {
        console.log(data.results[0].place_id);
    });

Sam Sylk's Chicken and Fish: Made From Scratch
"I want to be known as someone who brought jobs to the community and built a family legacy."
By Joe Miller

Busy doesn't even begin to describe Shaker restaurateur and Cleveland radio personality Sam Sylk.
Along with his day job as a deejay on WZAK FM 93.1, the Chicago native co-hosts a Sunday gospel music show on another station with his wife and business partner, Zenobia Sylk. He also has authored two books, with a third on its way.
And then there's the not-so-small matter of running the growing Sam Sylk's Chicken and Fish restaurant chain, including the Sylk family's original eatery in Shaker Heights. It's a job that demands a hands-on approach.
"I was cooking this Saturday. And I cooked Thursday," Sam says during an early morning tour of the Shaker location, just before he has to go on the air. He proudly wears his signature orange and green baseball cap featuring the restaurant's logo.
"When running a business, you've got to do what you've got to do," he says. "I've always had a dream, a passion to do this."
When the Sylks launched their "home-style" soul food restaurant in 2015 at 3761 Lee Road (near Scottsdale Boulevard), Sam took charge of the chicken and seafood breading. Every other day would find him in the kitchen mixing up his secret blend of spices and cornmeal – white cornmeal for the perch and shrimp, and yellow cornmeal for the catfish steaks and roughy. For chicken he uses a flour base.
Zenobia focused on the sides, such as string beans and collard greens flavored with smoked turkey tails. She also contributed her 90-year-old grandmother's mac and cheese recipe. It features nine different cheeses including – a slight departure from the family formula – smoked gouda. "With the gouda, it really pops," she says.
The popularity of those dishes, along with hard work, has spawned three more restaurants – in South Euclid, Euclid, and Garfield Heights. Altogether, Sam Sylk's Chicken and Fish has 43 employees, including several family members. Their daughter, Latifah, runs the Shaker store, and a cousin recently came on board as district manager. Even their 10-year-old son, Jeremiah, will pitch in on weekends when he doesn't have baseball.
"I want to be known as someone who brought jobs to the community and built a family legacy," Sam says.
The Sylks know from experience that the restaurant business isn't easy. Before their move to Cleveland in 2013, they gambled on a seafood restaurant in the tough Chicago market. It didn't last two years. When the husband-and-wife team decided to take another shot, this time in Shaker Heights, the naysayers initially wrote them off, pointing out that the location didn't even have its own parking.
"I can't believe how fast it's grown in five years," Zenobia says. "Everyone told us we wouldn't last."
Sam can still be found cooking fish on Lee Road, but he doesn't mix spices and cornmeal anymore. Sam goes to the kitchen and comes back with a hefty 25-pound bag of breading. With the addition of each new restaurant, the Sylks realized they needed consistency across the chain. Now their original recipe is mixed and packaged by a supplier in Cincinnati. Another lesson learned.
"It has to taste the same at every store," Sam says. Now, plans are in the works to sell five-pound versions of those same bags in local grocery stores. Sensing another opportunity, Sam is following up his recent book about relationships – entitled Is It Them Or Is It Me? – with a book about entrepreneurship, based on his restaurant experiences. "It will include the things I've learned and the mistakes I've made. I have a vision," he says. "I just want to see it come to life."

Pojem ladino pochází ze slova "latino" a používá se ve Střední Americe jako označení hispanizovaného nebo mestizo (smíšeného) obyvatelstva. Pojem je odlišný od slova ladino jako označení jazyka sefardských židů.

Označení "ladino" vzniklo na počátku španělské koloniální nadvlády nad Střední Amerikou. Zprvu bylo používáno pro domorodce, kteří se naučili španělsky a conquistadorům sloužili jako překladatelé. Později (18. století) se jako ladinos označovalo španělsky mluvící obyvatelstvo, které nebylo součástí společnosti Španělů pocházejících z evropského Španělska (peninsulares) ani kreolských elit, ale ani domorodého (indiánského) obyvatelstva. V některých případech pojmy mestic a ladino splývaly.

Případ Guatemaly
V případě území dnešní Guatemaly se výraz ladino začal zaměňovat s pojmem mestizo (míšenec) a postupně nahradil rozličnou terminologii používanou při popisu kast (např. výrazy mulat, zambo, castizo), ale zároveň zahrnoval i skupinu zchudlých Španělů či otroků, kteří nově nabyli svobody. Zásadní roli hrála znalost či neznalost španělštiny.

Guatemalská společnost se v 19. století změnila v polarizovanou společnost rozdělenou do 2 hlavních skupin – ladinos a indigenos. Za příslušníka ladinos byl považován ne-indián španělského původu, který žil západním stylem.

V Guatemale je ladino v současnosti oficiálně uznána jako etnická skupina, hlásí se k ní kolem 60% obyvatelstva a zahrnuje smíšené obyvatelstvo i domorodé obyvatelstvo, které je kulturně považováno za mestice. Podle definice guatemalského ministerstva školství je obyvatelstvo ladino charakteristické heterogenitou, která je vyjádřena v užití španělštiny jako mateřského jazyka s kulturními prvky, které jsou směsí hispánské a domorodé kultury (včetně západního stylu oblékání).

US passes 20 million COVID-19 cases: Johns Hopkins
The US has so far registered 20,007,149 cases and 346,408 deaths in the pandemic

Washintton; The United States has recorded more than 20 million cases of COVID-19, Johns Hopkins University said Friday in its real-time tally, as the New Year brought another grim milestone underlining the country's struggle to quell the virus.
The US has so far registered 20,007,149 cases and 346,408 deaths in the pandemic, the Baltimore-based university said, making it the country with by far the highest official number of cases and the highest death toll.
On Wednesday alone, more than 3,900 people died of COVID-19 in the US, a new daily record, and experts believe the worst is yet to come as health care workers brace for a surge in cases and deaths after holiday gatherings.
More than 125,000 people are currently hospitalized with coronavirus - another record - according to the Covid Tracking Project.
The country has begun a mass campaign of vaccinations and nearly 2.8 million people have already received their first jabs, a figure well behind the 20 million inoculations that the administration of President Donald Trump promised by the end of the year.
More than 12 million doses have been distributed nationwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but efforts to vaccinate health workers and vulnerable people have been hampered by logistical problems and overstretched hospitals and clinics.
President-elect Joe Biden, who takes office on January 20, has criticized the troubled vaccine rollout, and this week confirmed that he would invoke the Korean War-era Defense Production Act to force private industry to step up production for the government.
He has implored Americans to wear masks to slow the spread of COVID-19 and said he would impose a mandate on face coverings in areas where the federal government has jurisdiction, such as airplanes.
'We owe them'
Paying tribute to US health care workers on New Year's Eve, Biden said "they stepped up and they are brave. They have done so much for us, and we owe them."
Under Trump, US authorities have given often mixed messages on mask-wearing, social distancing and shutdowns, and the outgoing president has repeatedly downplayed the risks while cases have rocketed across the country.
In his New Year's Eve message, Trump hailed the "medical miracle" of coronavirus inoculations, adding "our most vulnerable citizens are already receiving the vaccine, and millions of doses are quickly being shipped all across our country."
According to Johns Hopkins, the US took several months to reach 10 million cases on November 9, before accelerating to 20 million cases on Friday.
After the US, the hardest-hit countries are Brazil with 194,949 deaths from 7,675,973 cases, and India with 148,994 deaths from 10,286,709 cases.

My interest dreams derives from my mother's dream dictionary she used to keep by her bedside. She inspired my interest and search for details of my dreams. Although the search was interesting, it was pretty disappointing since the meanings were not a match for my sentiments in the dreams. However, even though my mother and I knew that the dictionary wasn't correct, we still enjoyed reading and learning about what our dreams could possibly mean.
The human desire to interpret our dreams is a way of learning about ourselves and our psychology. I believe that dreams are psychological images from deep in our mind with no true meaning.
This project is based off an old dream and depicts two different ways of perceiving it once awaken. I created the video with two separate parts: "lost" and "familiar," represented by different sounds and footages. The video portrays the sentiments and memories that play out during sleep conscious. Although dreams could be associated with our lives and our powers of recall, once awaken, the dreams are no longer vivid enough to recall every detail. They become stranger to us. The ability that dreams have for causing a person to feel tense and hospitable is appealing.

The makers of the infamous AK-47 assault rifle have made a new electric car. The all-electric CV-1 is based on a 1970s Soviet-era station wagon and gets a 320 km range with a 0-100 kmph sprint capability in 6-seconds. While details are scarce about launch and price, we think there will most certainly be a market for a quirky electric car like this - especially if you need to take on a Zombie Army!
