Q: How to save a bitmap image as JPEG The problem is that the file is not saving as JPEG. Just a normal file. This is my code so far: private void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { saveDialog.FileName = txtModelName.Text; if (saveDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(pnlDraw.Width, pnlDraw.Height); pnlDraw.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, pnlDraw.Width, pnlDraw.Height)); bmp.Save(saveDialog.FileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg); } } A: How about checking if file name has .jpg extension before saving it? You can also change saveDialog to only allow user selecting .jpg images. private void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { saveDialog.FileName = txtModelName.Text; saveDialog.DefaultExt = "jpg"; saveDialog.Filter = "JPG images (*.jpg)|*.jpg"; if (saveDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(pnlDraw.Width, pnlDraw.Height); pnlDraw.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, pnlDraw.Width, pnlDraw.Height)); var fileName = saveDialog.FileName; if(!System.IO.Path.HasExtension(fileName) || System.IO.Path.GetExtension(fileName) != "jpg") fileName = fileName + ".jpg"; bmp.Save(fileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg); } }

Student activists at Hofstra University are demanding the removal of a statue of Thomas Jefferson from campus. Ja’Loni Owens, a Hofstra student and Black Lives Matter activist, started a change.org petition that warns it will discuss “slavery, rape, eugenics, anti-black racism” and claims the Founding Father’s statue belongs in a museum with proper context, “not displayed on a college campus, especially not in front of a hub of student life.” Owens specifically addressed “white allies” in their Facebook event for the Friday protest “Jefferson Has Gotta Go!” to be held at the statue in front of the student center. “Please understand that this is a protest against white supremacy and that you as white people – even though you’re allies – benefit from white supremacy!” Owens wrote. “Your obligation is to fight that! Come prepared to step up if racial slurs or otherwise offensive things are said to organizers of color or poc attending. If you’re able, come prepared to hold posters and like….PROTEST.” Owens added a stern warning to white students: “Do not come and take selfies for your Instagram feed or SO HELP ME GOD.” The demonstration’s leader also warned non-black people of color (POC): “Y’all are POC, but not everyone’s roots run through enslavement! Pls be respectful! Don’t derail! There is room for all of us!!! POC solidarity, pls!” While the university approved the protest, Owens wrote that “if Hofstra was supportive and embraced anti-racist work, we would not be protesting.” The protest is co-sponsored by a number of campus organizations: Campus Feminist Collective, Collegiate Women of Color, Democrats of Hofstra University, Hofstra History Club, Hofstra NAACP Chapter, Peace Action Matters, Queer & Trans People of Color Coalition, Student Advocates of Safer Sex, The Gender Identity Federation, The Pride Network of Hofstra University, and Young Democratic Socialists of Hofstra. When reached for comment, the organizers pointed to the event description. “Jefferson’s values aided in the construction of institutionalized racism and justified the subjugation of black people in the United States,” the petition reads, alleging, “Jefferson has been embraced as an icon by white supremacist and neo-nazi organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan and online white supremacist chat rooms…” But not everyone on campus supports the protest. “Not to bring problems, but I'd like to point out that as you are making the protest about your right to freedom of speech, don't forget that people like Jefferson gave you that right,” Hofstra student Conor Dawson wrote, as reported by CampusReform.org. In February, Owens held a “silent protest” to “draw attention to racism on Hofstra’s campus” and memorialized Trayvon Martin by taping a piece of paper that said “Black Lives Matter” on the Jefferson statue. “The right to peaceful protest and assembly is at the core of our democracy. Hofstra supports our students’ right to engage in peaceful demonstrations about issues that matter to them. We look forward to continuing a civil exchange of ideas and perspectives on the subject,” the university told Fox News.

The treatment of fibers, fabrics and laundry with conditioning agents, such as fabric softeners, anti-wrinkling agents, antistatic compounds and other preparations designed to improve the properties of the treated material is a well-known operation. It is practiced most by the housewife who adds fabric softening solution in the final rinse cycle of an automatic washing machine. The substantive cationic softening agent usually employed strongly adheres to the laundered textiles and remains thereon during subsequent spin drying and heat drying. Of course, such processes require that the conditioning agents employed be highly substantive or else they will be removed with the rinse water, yielding insufficient softening activities. In efforts to find other ways of depositing softening agents on the surfaces of fibers and fabrics, pressurized sprays have been applied to the articles to be treated either before or after drying. Even when the sprays are of very fine droplets of a solution of conditioning agent it is a tedious task to apply the spray evenly to all the articles being treated. When the spraying apparatus is included as an integral part of a drying apparatus, such as an automatic laundry dryer, the costs of the spraying apparatus, control means for it and installations of these are often so great as to make such a treatment uneconomical. Instead of using a spray, solid conditioning agents, absorbed onto or impregnated into flexible papers, cloths or sponges have been employed in the dryer. U.S. Pat. No. 3,442,692 teaches that substantive cationic conditioning compounds vaporize into the moist atmosphere of the dryer and are sorbed by the materials being tumbled therein. Although it is considered that many useful cationic conditioning agents are of such high boiling points that they are incapable of vaporizing under ordinary drying conditions, U.S. Pat. No. 3,442,692 is cited as an example of another way to use conditioning agents in the automatic laundry dryer. Although the disadvantages of conventional softening methods, utilizing the washing machine, and more recently developed treating operations, using the automatic laundry dryer, are known, before the present invention there was no acceptable simple and economical way to apply liquid conditioning agent to fabrics to be softened or to be made antistatic in the automatic laundry dryer. Now, by following the method of this invention, good conditioning may be obtained economically and conveniently and without the necessity for the installation of complex equipment.

White matter and cognitive decline in aging: a focus on processing speed and variability. White matter (WM) change plays an important role in age-related cognitive decline. In this review, we consider methodological advances with particular relevance to the role of WM in age-related changes in processing speed. In this context, intra-individual variability in processing speed performance has emerged as a sensitive proxy of cognitive and neurological decline while neuroimaging techniques used to assess WM change have become increasingly more sensitive. Together with a carefully designed task protocol, we emphasize that the combined implementation of intra-individual variability and neuroimaging techniques hold promise for specifying the WM-processing speed relationship with implications for normative and clinical samples.

Mayo Clinic With lung cancer being the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., effective early screening is key to saving lives. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic say they've developed new software that can help classify lung nodules noninvasively, saving lives and health care costs. A pilot study of the program called Computer-aided Nodule Assessment and Risk Yield, or Canary, appears in the April issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology. Canary leans on data from high-resolution CT images of a common type of cancerous nodule in the lung called pulmonary adenocarcinomas. It matches every pixel of the lung image to one of nine unique radiological exemplars. In the pilot study, it was able to classify the lesions as aggressive or indolent with high sensitivity, as compared to microscopic analyses of the lesions after being surgically removed and analyzed by lung pathologists. "Pulmonary adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer and early detection using traditional computed tomography (CT) scans can lead to a better prognosis," Tobias Peikert, a Mayo Clinic pulmonologist and senior author of the study, said in a news release. "However, a subgroup of the detected adenocarcinomas identified by CT may grow very slowly and may be treatable with less extensive surgery." Peikert says that without effective screening, most lung cancer patients don't identify the disease until they are at an advanced stage and far more likely to die from it. Yet, screening via CT scans would be an expensive way to improve the survival rate, as it often can lead to overtreating slow-growing tumors. The hope is that Canary can identify those tumors that can be treated with less extensive -- and expensive -- surgery.

Newly resurfaced audio from 1992 shows Donald Trump Donald John TrumpOmar fires back at Trump over rally remarks: 'This is my country' Pelosi: Trump hurrying to fill SCOTUS seat so he can repeal ObamaCare Trump mocks Biden appearance, mask use ahead of first debate MORE arguing that Mike Tyson shouldn't be sent to jail after he was convicted of rape. ADVERTISEMENT The release of Trump's interview with radio shock jockey Howard Stern by CNN comes days after The Washington Post published 2005 audio of the future GOP presidential nominee talking about groping women without their consent. In the earlier audio, Trump laments Tyson's conviction as a "travesty" and says "I hate to see what's happened to him." He proposes that the world heavyweight boxing champion should donate the proceeds from his upcoming fights in order to avoid jail time, a figure he pegs as between $20 million to $30 million per fight. "My concept is for the state of Indiana, maybe $20 million, a lot of money, the proceeds from his next fight, his next two fights for rape victims," Trump says. "I think that's a lot better than having Mike Tyson serve jail for 10 years or something. I think it's gonna do a lot more in terms of a cause." Trump went on to add that while he's never seen Tyson acting inappropriately around women, he's seen questionable conduct from women directed at Tyson. "I've seen women going around touching him. He walks in a room and the women start grabbing him and grabbing his ass and grabbing anything else they can grab on him," Trump says. Tyson was found guilty of raping an 18-year-old woman in 1992. He served less than three years of a six-year sentence in an Indiana prison. Trump has touted Tyson's endorsement while on the stump and had to shoot down rumors that he invited the boxer to speak at the Republican National Convention after Bloomberg Politics reported Tyson would attend. "Iron Mike Tyson was not asked to speak at the Convention though I'm sure he would do a good job if he was. The media makes everything up," Trump tweeted in July. Tyson did not end up attending the event.

Neurological complications of congenital heart disease. Neurological complications contribute significantly to mortality and morbidity from congenital heart disease with serious long-term consequences. Congenital heart disease has also been shown to adversely influence the neuro-developmental outcome of children. In developing countries such as India, majority of congenital heart defects remains uncorrected and major neurological complications are frequently encountered. Stroke and brain abscess are the commonest neurological complications of unoperated congenital heart disease. In developed countries the focus has now shifted to neurological complications of cardiac surgery in the very young as a result of cardiopulmonary bypass and total hypothermic circulatory arrest. A variety of neurological disturbances are now being increasingly recognized and are currently the subject of intense investigations. In this review the neurological complications of uncorrected congenital heart disease and the common neurological complications that result from operations for congenital heart disease will be discussed.

Dynamics of motile-sperm subpopulation structure in boar ejaculates subjected to "in vitro" capacitation and further "in vitro" acrosome reaction. Incubation of diluted boar sperm from fresh ejaculates in a previously established "in vitro" capacitation medium induced a significant, time-dependent increase in several mean parameters of sperm motility, such as curvilinear velocity (VCL), linear velocity (VSL), mean velocity (VAP), linearity coefficient (LIN), straightness coefficient (STR) and wobble coefficient (WOB). Furthermore, motile boar-sperm semen samples were structured in four definite subpopulations. Subpopulation 1 showed the lowest values of VCL, VSL and VAP and also low values of linearity. Subpopulation 2 showed the second lowest values of VCL and VAP and higher values of LIN and STR. Subpopulation 3 was characterized by high values of velocity and low values of linearity. Finally, Subpopulation 4 was characterized by high values of velocity and linearity. "In vitro" capacitation and further acrosome reaction induced changes in the motility characteristics of each subpopulation as well as in their percentage distribution, Subpopulations 3 and 4 being those that showed the most significant changes. However, despite these changes, the observed, overall four-subpopulation structure was firmly maintained during the entire "in vitro" capacitation and acrosome-reaction process. Our results suggest that capacitation-induced motility changes are related to specific changes in the percentage of each motile-sperm subpopulation in the ejaculate without losing the overall, specific four-subpopulation structure. In this way, the maintenance of a four-subpopulation structure seems to be important in the control of the whole ejaculate physiology.

Role of cadmium and arsenic as endocrine disruptors in the metabolism of carbohydrates: Inserting the association into perspectives. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have widespread environmental distribution originated from both natural and anthropogenic sources. From the last few decades, their contamination has been raised dramatically owing to continuous discharge in sewage and untreated industrial effluents. They have rapidly gained a considerable attention due to their critical role in the development of multiple endocrine-related disorders notably diabetes mellitus (DM). Cadmium and arsenic, among the most hazardous EDCs, are not only widely spread in our environment, but they are also found to be associated with wide range of health hazards. After entering into the human body, they are preferably accumulated in the liver, kidney and pancreas where they exhibit deleterious effects on carbohydrate metabolism pathways notably glycolysis, glucogenesis and gluconeogenesis through the modification and impairment of relevant key enzymes activity. Impairment of hepatic glucose homeostasis plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of DM. Along with compromised function of pancreas and muscles, diminished liver and kidney functions also contribute considerably to increase the blood glucose level. These metals have potential to bring conformational changes in these enzymes and make them inactive. Additionally, these metals also disturb the hormonal balance, such as insulin, glucocorticoids and catecholamines; by damaging pancreas and adrenal gland, respectively. Moreover, these metals also enhance the production of reactive oxygen species and depress the anti-oxidative defense mechanism with subsequent disruption of multiple organs. In this article, we have briefly highlighted the impact of arsenic and cadmium on the metabolism of carbohydrates and the enzymes that are involved in carbohydrate metabolism and glucose homeostasis.

1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to new and improved methods of fluidic support. In particular, this invention relates to new and improved methods of (1) counteracting the gravitational bending moment present in a substrate tube during a modified chemical vapor deposition preform fabrication process, and (2) improved cooling of the substrate tube to increase the thermophoretic force gradient. Hence, use of the methods of this invention results in a straight optical fiber preform, with greater deposition efficiency. 2. Description of the Prior Art The modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) process used to produce optical fibers utilizes a quartz substrate tube that is mounted in a glass working lathe. The substrate tube is chucked at one end and is supported by graphite vee blocks or nylon or Teflon rollers at the opposite end. The substrate tube is then heated at the chucked end and straightened to the center line of the lathe. A larger tube is inserted in another chuck and sealed to the substrate tube. The supports are now removed. A torch assembly is mounted on a fire carriage that traverses the length of the lathe bed that heats the exterior of the substrate tube. Each traversal commences at the portion of the tube closest to the chemical input end, and is termed a pass. The heat that is produced by the torch assembly is required to cause the chemicals on the interior of the tube to react, and also to fuse or sinter the glass particles that are deposited on the inner wall of the tube. Temperatures up to 2100.degree. C. are attained during the course of the process, well above the softening point (1813.degree. C.) of fused quartz. The MCVD process typically requires over 60 torch passes and eight to twelve hours to complete. The tube is rotated during the process to maintain circular symmetry, but this rotation does not provide any force to center the tube. On the contrary, in fact, rotation causes any existing eccentricity to increase because of centrifugal force. Disadvantageously, the sagging of a rotating quartz tube occurs at the extreme ends thereof, especially the end at which the heating is initiated. Such sagging is the result of the gravitational bending moment and small deviations normally present in the tube. The heat zone produced by the torch assembly is located between the two supporting chucks for the quartz tube. When the substrate tube is heated above the softening point at either end, the effect of the nearest supporting chuck is negated, while the bending moment is the greatest. Since so many passes are performed, the problem increases with each pass, and results in a wavy or eccentric preform. The eccentricity also causes asymmetric heating, compounding the problems of temperature control and noncircularity of the deposited material. The waviness of the preform reduces the yield of the preform in either the deposition process or the draw process. Noncircular deposition leads to cores that are not concentric with the outside of the cladding, and may have unacceptable, out-of-tolerance dimensions. U.S. Pat. No. 4,263,032, issued Apr. 21, 1981 to Sinclair et al., and U.S. Pat. No. 4,302,230, issued Nov. 24, 1981 to MacChesney et al., relate to making optical fiber preforms more expeditiously by enhancing the thermophoretic deposition force. The '032 patent suggests a fluid stream as a cooling means. The '230 patent suggests water for cooling. Disadvantageously, the '230 patent prefers de-ionized water in order to avoid introduction of contaminants which may contribute to a lowering of the strength of the resultant fiber. Direct physical support of a glass surface by a material in contact with it causes problems by introducing defects and contamination into the surface of the preform. Unfortunately, there appears to be no material known that can resist the temperatures involved and not damage the surface of the preform by scratching or contamination. As is well recognized, brittle materials such as silica glass are strongly dependant on the integrity of the surface for strength, with an essentially perfect surface required to retain the intrinsic high strength. It is well known that physical contact of a glass surface by a solid object will leave defects in the surface that are difficult to heal, and sometimes particles will be left behind, generating a low strength site for future failure. A defect can readily reduce the strength of glass fiber after drawing by two orders of magnitude. In addition, any particle present on the preform surface will have its size magnified, relative to the fiber, during the drawing process, thus creating a larger defect, and a probable low strength failure point. Liquids can be considered for a coolant to aid in the thermophoretic force as indicated in the patent of MacChesney, but the addition of a cooling water stream to the apparatus is difficult. In addition, the water must be of very high quality, such as freshly deionized or distilled, to avoid leaving any residue that will act to harm the surface.

(CNN) As Ady Barkan has struggled with the deterioration of his body as a result of ALS, the activist has pulled off a feat that would be remarkable even for the most agile of health care advocates. This year, month after month, he has drawn most of the major presidential candidates to his doorstep and championed "Medicare for All" while forcing the presidential contenders to think through the impact of their health care agendas in the most personal terms. He brought California Sen. Kamala Harris to tears recalling the day her mother was diagnosed with colon cancer. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren used Barkan's case to punctuate the failures of the healthcare system during a July presidential debate: "Ady has health insurance, good health insurance, and it's not nearly enough," she said. Barkan and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the author of the Medicare for All legislation, discussed their legacies during their conversation, which was posted online in early September. "In terms of your legacy, Ady," Sanders told Barkan, "I think it will be very clear that even with the terrible illness that you're struggling with right now, that you didn't give up, that you understood that -- especially given your illness -- that you could play a significant in rallying the American people toward a sane and humane health care system." In the latest interview released Thursday with Pete Buttigieg , the South Bend, Indiana Mayor told Barkan that it was the first time he'd been around breathing equipment since the death of his father, who had cancer, in January. "We sat down with a social worker who basically explained to us at the hospital that in terms of long term care our best option was probably for our family to spend down everything that we had until we were asset-poor enough to qualify for Medicaid," Buttigieg told Barkan, according to the transcript shared with CNN. "I remember just thinking, is that how this works in America?" The two debated their differing views on Medicare for All, and Barkan told Buttigieg he appreciated that the mayor was "willing to have the tough conversations even when someone doesn't agree with you." In their exchange, Barkan called out former Vice President Joe Biden, who Barkan says is the only top-tier presidential candidate who has not responded to his invitation to meet. On September 18, he issued a searing plea to Biden, noting that Biden has his own heartbreaking struggles involving the healthcare system (most recently with the death of his son Beau in 2015 from a brain tumor). "Mr. Vice President you know about illness. You know about doctors and hospitals. You know that health care is personal. ... You won't come talk to me about it?" Barkan said in video missive to Biden the day before undergoing surgery for a tracheostomy to help him breathe. "Look a dying man in the eyes and tell me how we fix this country." In an interview with CNN this month, Barkan described ALS as "the story of things becoming impossible" -- from a simple stroll around the neighborhood to his ability to tickle his 3-year-old son Carl. ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a neurodegenerative disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, ultimately depriving the brain of its ability to initiate and control muscle movement, including the loss of speech. (Barkan now speaks through a computer). "It's exhausting and overwhelming," Barkan told CNN. "For me, ALS has been a lesson in exactly how broken our health care system is and why it's so important to fix it." In this family photo, Barkan is pictured with his wife Rachael and son Carl in October 2016. Barkan, a life-long advocate on economic justice issues who was diagnosed with ALS in October 2016, has imparted those lessons not only with high-profile testimony in Washington, but also in these intimate one-on-one conversations with candidates. He and his crew film publish the interviews as part of the work of their PAC, the Be A Hero fund, which attempts to hold politicians accountable on health care and other issues by using the stories of average Americans as their persuasion tool. Barkan realized the power of his exchanges with politicians when he met former Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake by chance in December 2017 on an airplane. Overwhelmed by his mounting medical bills, Barkan urged Flake not to support the GOP tax bill, which he believed would disrupt his health care coverage. "You can save my life," Barkan told Flake in a n exchange captured by a fellow passenger . "Please remember this conversation." Flake did end up voting for the tax bill -- in contradiction to Barkan's request -- but that exchange vaulted Barkan into the national spotlight. As Barkan has explained to the current crop of presidential candidates, his insurance company tried to deny coverage for a breathing assistance machine that he needed to live. He said he, his wife Rachael, an assistant and a lawyer spent "endless time on the phone trying to get our insurance company to behave properly, lawfully. Beyond that, his family is billed $20,000 a month out of pocket for the 24-hour home care that he needs. "I'm lucky to have wealthy supporters cover the cost for us, but that's not an option for a lot of people -- most just go bankrupt," he told CNN, which provided questions to Barkan ahead of time to give him enough time to write out answers. "Ninety percent of Americans with ALS choose not to go on a ventilator because it requires 24-hour care, which most insurance plans don't cover. In Japan, where long-term care is guaranteed, the numbers are reversed. That just isn't right, and it doesn't need to be this way." That view has fueled Barkan's advocacy for Medicare for All, the signature health care proposal from Sanders: "I've come to believe that fundamentally we need radical, disruptive change to the status quo," he said. "The only plan I've seen that aims for that level of ambition is Medicare for All." He believes that any plan that stops short of the promise of Medicare for All -- the kinds of plans that have been proposed by Buttigieg, Biden and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, for example — "won't deliver the universal coverage or the cost savings that we need." Barkan testifies before the House Rules Committee at a hearing on a "Medicare for All" bill on Capitol Hill in April 2019. Barkan, who gets around in a wheelchair, speaks through a vocalizer and takes his meals through a feeding tube in his stomach, has still managed to make his sense of urgency felt through in-depth conversations with Buttigieg, Sanders, Harris, Warren, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, and Julián Castro, the former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Barack Obama. He says Klobuchar, former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke and businessman Asndrew Yang have also agreed to meet with him. The Be A Hero PAC has started a petition calling on Biden to meet with Barkan. Biden's team did not respond to CNN's query about why the former vice president has not responded to Barkan's invitation. But Barkan isn't giving up on his hope for a one-on-one with one of the 2020 race's front-runners. It's a persistence that New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez notes in the prologue she wrote for his new memoir, "Eyes to the Wind." Even through his vocalizer, Barkan's testimony to Congress "forced an urgency and moral clarity that members could not look away from or ignore," Ocasio-Cortez wrote. "I saw their discomfort at issuing the usual excuses, and Ady also would not tolerate them—even with many physical capabilities gone," Ocasio-Cortez wrote. The New York Democrat first met Barkan when he stopped by a labor town hall that she was holding at a church in the Bronx after winning her primary election last year. He could still speak at that point and she held the microphone for him as he addressed the crowd. They met again this year, at her congressional office after the his testimony to Congress. Barkan acknowledges that part of the power of his advocacy is that he is dying from ALS, a fact he points out in his Twitter profile. He told CNN he is "trying to use the time I have left here to make things better for as long as I still can." "If I could be healthy and completely anonymous, I would do it in a heartbeat," he said. But because of his illness, his activism with Be a Hero and the Center for Popular Democracy have drawn national notice. His team went on to travel the country making health-care ads that he said were among the top-performing spots of 2018. "We built a platform that made it hard for candidates to ignore us," Barkan said. "There are millions of folks who the candidates should sit down with. I'm just hoping I can be a voice for them and force candidates to answer questions that really matter to people."

1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a nitride semiconductor light-emitting device and a fabrication method thereof. 2. Discussion of the Background Art A light-emitting diode (LED) is a type of semiconductor device that converts electricity to infrared or visible light using properties of a compound semiconductor and is used as indicator lights in electronic home appliances, remote control devices, electronic display boards, indicators and automation apparatuses. The operation principle of such an LED is based on energy level of a material. That is, electrons and holes in a material move through and rejoin at a p-n junction when electrically biased in the forward direction. As a result, light is emitted from the p-n junction as energy level of the material is lowered due to the electron-hole rejoin. Generally, LEDs are manufactured in a very small size about 0.25 mm2 and packaged using a lead frame, a printed circuit board (PCB) and a epoxy molding compound. Recently, the most common package for LEDs is a 5 mm (T 1¾) plastic package, but new packages for LEDs are being developed depending on LEDs application fields. The color emitted by the LEDs depends on the wave length which is controlled by chemical composition of a semiconductor material used. As components for information technology and telecommunications are getting smaller and slimmer, various kinds of parts thereof, such as resistor, condenser, noise filter and so on, also become much smaller. To keep up such trend, LEDs are manufactured in a surface mount device (SMD) type package so as to be mounted on a PCB directly. Accordingly, LED lamps used as display devices are being packaged in the SMD type recently. Such SMD-type LEDs can substitute related art simple light lamps and be used as light display apparatus, character display apparatus and image display apparatus for emitting various colored light. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an LED in accordance with a related art. With reference to FIG. 1, a method of manufacturing an LED will be described below. Referring to FIG. 1, a sapphire substrate 10 composed of mainly Al2O3, is provided with a GaN buffer layer 1 made of gallium nitride (GaN) thereon. Then, an undoped GaN layer 3 is formed on the GaN buffer layer 1. Generally, group three elements in the periodic table are grown on the sapphire substrate 10 by a Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) method at a growth pressure ranging from 200 to 650 torr to be a layer. That is, the GaN buffer layer 1 and the GaN layer 3 are formed by the MOCVD method. Next, an n-type GaN layer 5 is formed on the undoped GaN layer 3 using silicon such as monosilane SiH4 or disilane Si2H6. On the n-type GaN layer 5, an active layer 7 is formed. The active layer 7 serving as a light-emitting area is a semiconductor layer containing Indium Gallium Nitride (InGaN) as light-emitting material therein. After the active layer 7 is grown, a p-type GaN layer 9 is formed on the active layer 7. The p-type GaN layer 9 is formed using Mg-based group two elements in the periodic table. The p-type GaN layer 9 is complementary layer to the n-type GaN layer 5 which supplies electrons to the active layer 7 when a voltage is applied thereto. On the contrary, the p-type GaN layer 9 supplied holes to the active layer 7 when a voltage is applied so that the electrons and holes join in the active layer 7 and light is emitted from the active layer 7. Even though not shown, a transparent metal layer (TM) made of a conductive material (not shown) is formed on the p-type GaN layer 9 to shed the light emitted from the active layer 7 outside. A light-emitting device manufacturing process is completed as p-type electrode is formed, after the TM layer is formed. However, the above light-emitting device in accordance with the related art is disadvantageous in that Mg—H complexes having an insulating property is formed on the p-type GaN layer as Mg reacts with atomic H generated from decomposition of NH3 gas when an Mg doping process is performed to form an electrical contact layer on the surface of the p-type GaN layer. The Mg—H complexes serve as an obstacle to the Mg doping, so that it becomes difficult to increase the number of hole carriers in the p-type GaN layer even though Mg is doped at high dose. Such Mg—H complexes are caused as atomic H combines with Mg contained in trimethyl gallium (TMG) or double cycle pentadienyl magnesium (DCP Mg) organic substance used for crystal growth after the growth of the p-type GaN layer, or caused due to decomposition of NH3 gas which is needed to maintain the p-type GaN layer in NH3 ambient to prevent formation of nitrogen vacancy (N-vacancy) in the p-type GaN layer, wherein such N-vacancy is generated due to the nitrogen out-diffusion upon cooling the p-type GaN layer after its growth. That is, atomic hydrogen is generated when the NH3 gas is thermally decomposed and permeates into the GaN layer through treading dislocation holes existing on the surface of the GaN layer.

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. ~~ Frederick Douglass American Statesman This program mission bolsters youth in general, foster children, and abused, abandoned and neglected children with children self-sufficiency and autonomy. Different kid’s different circumstances require different approaches. Some programs provide access to the majority of the at-risk and system kids in the state and work to expand the hearts and minds of these children through educational activities and instruction to improve their capabilities and their lives so they will become incredible citizens. Some purpose-built programs begin the process of replacing falsehood with truth, inexperience with knowledge, hurt with hope, anger with love, shiftlessness with goals, and hopelessness with faith.

I've certainly known guys to sit around speculating upon the elasticity of certain mutual female aquantences' genitalia. All in jest, of course-noone wants to admit to another man that a given love tunnel didn't feel tight enough, because that inevitably leads to the suspicion that the cause was not a cavernous vagina but rather an inadequately girthy member.

Its Alive (2009) Im not going to waste your time or mine. This movie sucks. Not because its a remake, because it is terrible. Bijou Phillips needs to find a new genre, Im tired of seeing her in every single god damned film that comes out. There is some gore, a fair amount of blood, but more shitty CG, loud noises, and dreadful pacing. The film actually bears a sickening resemblance to GRACE, and I am now convinced of one thing: All of you out there that hated GRACE received ITS ALIVE in your Netflixes because GRACE was far more popular than anyone ever could have imagined and they ran out and needed a cheap substitute. I didn't see the remake yet but I wanted to chime in with your FAIL statement. Come to think of it, maybe U will skip it now. I am waiting for Grace and queued it because I read some blogs that raved about it. Does it suck or is it good iyho? I know this one is bad enough where I would never consider buying it, so the chances of ever seeing it again are pretttttty slim. I thought GRACE was one of the best Indepenedent Horror entries to come out in the last decade, I believe the review can be found in my Suspense / Mystery tags on the right or through a quick search if youre interested homeslice Join the Fight! Buy ILHM Gear “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Q: Calculating distance between 2 points. Can I trust in GeoLocation.STDistance function of sql server? I want to calculate the distance between two points with SQL server. The problem is that I get a result that is not accurate. Create table #auxdist ( idempr int identity(1,1) ,emp_desc varchar(60) ,longitud float ,latitud float ,geolocation geography ) insert into #auxdist values ('TIng',-55.769,-34.768,NULL) insert into #auxdist values ('CComp',-55.74132,-34.19647,NULL) Update #auxdist SET [GeoLocation] = geography::STPointFromText('POINT(' + cast( CAST(cs.latitud AS decimal(30,20)) as varchar(30)) + ' ' + cast( CAST(cs.longitud AS decimal(30,20)) as varchar(30))+ ')', 4326) from #auxdist cs select com1.idempr,com2.idempr, com1.GeoLocation.STDistance(com2.GeoLocation) as dist from #auxdist com1 join #auxdist com2 on com1.idempr <> com2.idempr and com1.idempr=1 Using this query I get that the distance between two points is 36016 mts. Then I check the result using http://www.onlineconversion.com/map_greatcircle_distance.htm and I found a different answer: 63673mts (Haversine formula) A: You've specified your points backwards. Run the following query and you'll see what I mean. select *, geolocation.Lat as Lat, geolocation.Long as Long from #auxdist The fix is easy enough: when you're creating the WKT via string concatenation, just switch the order of latitud and longitud

are we not in danger of confusing hunting for fun, hunting for food and controlling vermin? Hunting for fun, e.g. my local Waterloo Cup for hare coursing is an object lesson in cultivating unnecessary suffering. All decent farmers make meat harvesting as painfree and sanitised as possible, I take my hat off to them. Pheasant and grouse are, in my opinion, are a borderline between the two approaches, kept as grey as possible by the Waterloo Cup brigade. Having witnessed a shoot on the land adjacent to my allotment they are a bunch noisy ignorant crap shots out for fun. Pheasants are so thick that trapping and dispatching them for the pot is simplicity itself. I think its called "poaching". Those who think field sports is the preserve of the wealthy have a very narrow view and limited understanding of the sport. Conversation relies, in part, on the activities of field sports which not only help enrichen biological diversity but also provide valuable revenues for many rural enterprises. By taking an emotional and onesided look at the whole debate serves no real purpose but I expect many who take a vitriolic stance against any form of field sport care not a jot about anything else except their own opinion. It is a grey area, I don't see what's 'fun' about shooting, but neither do I about golf, but the former creates a more 'natural' habitat and the latter could be said to both protect and destroy it, as with any development. I'm sure ignorant, noisy people exist in both 'sports', as do quiet, knowledgeable types. I don't think removing the fun element of shooting is ever going to work though. You can ban an action, but it's difficult to ban emotions. I've alwAys found this a bit puzzling. People love to shoot thing and derive great pleasure from it. Even shooting each other. Very little of it involves maintains the countryside. Most is done digitally on sofas, Somw with paint balls. If you care so much about the countryside you would maintain it anyway or have to conclude that it's merely a byproduct of your fun shooting stuff not the main driver and it's the shooting you really like and if it was banned tomorrow you'd walk away and not give a stuff about biodiversity etc or wail that somebody somewhere must do something. For the record I've no issue with shooting game. I've alwAys found this a bit puzzling. People love to shoot thing and derive great pleasure from it. Even shooting each other.

OK! Add to "wealthy", nouveau riche, or anybody who isn't an actual creative type who has a cue about ecology. So, with 1,000s of acres of uplands, massive potential for productivity, or simply to create fresh air and water, some of us refer to charge over it in RangeRovers, run around in Barbour Jackets and shoot everything that moves. Gosh, that's delayed climate change by a 100 years!!!

Tired tower to make way for vibrant new housing project just minutes from CBD A high-quality and contemporary development in the heart of Highgate is a step closer with the release of a demolition tender for Stirling Towers. Housing Minister Brendon Grylls said a suitably qualified and highly experienced demolition contractor was being sought to manage the demolition process. “The successful demolition contractor is expected to be announced by the end of this year. The contractor will be required to prepare a detailed demolition plan to manage the process in a highly effective and safe manner that minimises any impact on neighbours.” Mr. Grylls said. “The Housing Authority has advised the Highgate community of our redevelopment intentions and what to expect from the demolition process. This has been well received and we will continue to keep the community informed throughout the process.” Since the 1970’s, Stirling Towers has provided affordable and social housing options for low-to-moderate income earners. In recent years, the authority determined that redevelopment is the best option for this site and for the community. The Housing Authority has relocated the building’s tenants into other residences within the metropolitan area, and is closely engaged with the City of Vincent and key stakeholders to ensure as smooth a process as possible. An Expression of Interest is being released by the Housing Authority by November 2016 to engage a private sector development partner. The Minister said the redevelopment of the site would offer a wide range of benefits for the community. “It will include a mixture of housing types and tenures, private and affordable home ownership, a reduction in the concentration of social housing tenants, and trial of new initiatives such as car-sharing.” Mr. Grylls said. “Once the private sector development partner has been engaged, the community will be consulted on the development as part of the standard town planning process.” Mr. Grylls said the demolition was expected to commence in early 2017.

Taking to Twitter on Monday, the 69-year-old music legend didn't hold back sharing how she really felt about the 19 Kids and Countingscandal. "Josh Duggar resigned from an anti-gay 'family' group due to molestation allegations," she tweeted. "Kids, is there anything more delicious than irony?" "Janet and I want to affirm our support for the Duggar family. Josh's actions when he was an underage teen are as he described them himself, 'inexcusable,' but that doesn't mean 'unforgivable.' He and his family dealt with it and were honest and open about it with the victims and the authorities," the 59-year-old Republican politician wrote on Facebook this past Friday. "No purpose whatsoever is served by those who are now trying to discredit Josh or his family by sensationalizing the story. Good people make mistakes and do regrettable and even disgusting things." Williams did not subscribe to this point of view, and instead went on a Twitter tirade attacking the Duggars. "Sorry, Josh Duggar is a bigot, slimebag," he tweeted. "Whole family is, and FRC is a scam. Yup, Gay people are the danger to kids? NOPE, JOSH DUGGAR IS." The 58-year-old former talk-show host then went after Josh's father, Jim Bob Duggar, on Tuesday, writing: "Funny how #JimBobDuggar ran for Senate saying incest shld get death penalty? Anything about these people not fake and hypocritical?" Funny how #JimBobDuggar ran for Senate saying incest shld get death penalty? Anything about these people not fake and hypocritical? "I want to say that the Seewald family stands with the Duggar family in solidarity. We stand with the unnamed victims of these incidents," he wrote. "Our thoughts and prayers are for you. I want to say to Josh, hang in there, the shame you feel is legitimate, yet Jesus took your shame as he was punished in your place. Rest in his forgiveness and grace. Remember that he gives you his righteousness as a covering for your shame."

Now today Tubularsock was in the process of cleaning his underground solar panels that provide off-grid power to Tubularsock’s top floor corner office of his underground bunker that overlooks Washington, D.C. from Oakland, CA when Tubularsock started to think about sex. Now it is almost a proven fact that when you are in the process of cleaning, your mind wonders off to thoughts of sex. No really, it’s kind of scientific. And maybe just the monotony of cleaning reminds one of the monotony of the “missionary-position” of sexual intercourse. No really, it’s kind of scientific. Now if Tubularsock just thought of the hedonist’s position toward sexual intercourse, a voluptuary thought indeed, then that could be satisfactory. But no, Tubularsock’s thoughts penetrate to a deeper level. That of the role that religion plays within the sexual formula. No really, it’s kind of scientific. Now, I know many of you are going to say, “There goes Tubularsock and his prurient interests again”. But no, Tubularsock is ONLY doing this for YOUR prurient interests because if you have not stopped reading this yet then you are wondering, where in the fuck is Tubularsock going with this? And really, Tubularsock knows that you too are interested in Tubularsock’s almost scientific pontifications. Well sex and religion go together as well as gonorrhea and syphilis so to speak. Religions have always been interested in sex ….. in THOUGHT and in DEED. No stone is left unturned here. Every religious organization (Church, Synagogue, Temple, Mosque) have lessons in sex usually for those who are getting married. And sometimes instruction in celibacy for teen groups. So because the fundamentalist religions are so voicetress about their views on sexural behavior in our society, Tubularsock will start with them. The fundamentalist religions don’t want ANY fun in sex. Sex is a duty to produce more fundamentalists for the “flock” so that it increases. Much like chickens but not because according to the fundamentalist religions having sex with chickens is “a sin”! ABORTIONis “a sin” and against the WHITE MALE GOD LAW as well. But killing a child with a drone is fine because of “GOD’S WILL”. And killing an entire village is a “A JUST WAR”. Having sex before marriage is “a sin” according to the WHITE MALE GOD and so is teaching young adults “how babies are created” because it may stimulate an interest in sex. Showing how to prevent pregnancy is NOT ACCEPTABLE because it may increase sexual activities among young unmarried adults who are without knowledge or foresightstatistically having unprotected sex like rabbits which is “a sin” as is having sex with rabbits! Do you see a pattern here? Yet, the brain dead which make up the bulk of the fundamentalist religions say way more bull shit than any truth but they just keep repeating this shit which actually should be “a sin” but isn’t! And to top this all off there are some who feel that demonic spirits can be transferred to you during sex and/or sexual activity. And to others, like Tubularsock, who thinks that that must be some great sex! And then there are the Catholics. Now the Catholics too want to be in control of the sexual activities of their followers and just about everything about sex is “a sin” including thinking about it! The amazing thing here is that the teaching and direction of proper sexual behavior is directed by Priests or Nuns who have vowed NEVER to have sex and even worse neverhave had it! Sex outside of marriage is “a sin” and can get you excommunicated but like many “sins” there are ways around that. Usually by money and prayer. Once again the only sex that is considered acceptable is that which increases the “flock” and the more the merrier. And the use of condoms are prohibited and is “a sin” because it prevents pregnancy which is the ONLY reason for sex and the logic goes that using a condom creates the possibility of sex for fun and pleasure ……. and we can’t have THAT! And once again ABORTIONis “a sin” and against the WHITE MALE GOD LAW. But killing a child with a drone is fine because of “GOD’S WILL”. And killing an entire village is a “A JUST WAR”. But the cool thing is Papal infallibility and that’s a neat little package that says when it comes to Church dogma the Pope in virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, (which is another way to say he was voted into Popehood) defines the doctrine concerning faith or morals to be held by the whole Church. Much like the buck starts here. And the Pope hasn’t had sex at all (in theory) so there you have it! The Mormons almost take the cake when it comes to religion but only because it’s a “modern” day religion formulated by Joseph Smith in the 1830’s. A little late compared to other religions. Some believe that Mormonism is a cult but Tubularsock still hasn’t figured out where a religion and a cult part company. Oh well. Mormonism is just an upgrade religion using the same basic Christian stories but those stories were formed from the Book of Mormon which Joe said he transcribed from “. . . a buried book made of golden plates”. The angel Moroni revealed their location to Joe and he dug them up and worked out the translation. Be that as it may, it is clear that when it came to sex it was only good for creating more offspring for the flock like the aforementioned religions but with a twist. In order to do that task multiply wives were needed so early Mormons believed in the sanctity of polygamy. Sex out of marriage is not permitted which may have accounted for the most common name for patrons of motel sex being Mr. & Mrs. Smith. A fact, Tubularsock will leave to your imagination. But true to form with the rest of the Christian Religions Mormonism believes that ABORTION is “a sin” and against the WHITE MALE GOD LAW. But killing a child with a drone is fine because of “GOD’S WILL”. And killing an entire village is a “A JUST WAR”. Now Protestantism in general is any of those European religions that broke away from the Catholic Church back in the day. And the Protestants disagree among themselves over all the silly little rules they each came up with but they all agree that sex is “a sin” unless in marriage and ABORTIONis “a sin” and against the WHITE MALE GOD LAW. But killing a child with a drone is fine because of “GOD’S WILL”. And killing an entire village is a “A JUST WAR”. Now Tubularsock doesn’t really care what one believes. And Tubularsock doesn’t even mind religious minded people spinning their belief mantras and through example showing others why one should join their “flock”. That is all well and good. What Tubularsock sees as an abomination is ANY group attempting to DICTATE how things should be and attempting to force it on to everybody else. Tubularsock has been mulling over this entire Charlie Hebdo cartoon mess. It was truly fantastic to see people actually get off their butts and go to the streets in a statement of freedom of speech. And then Tubularsock realized that it was happening in France not the United States. So it isn’t as fantastic as it appears because the French have always gone to the streets in protests. Years ago while Tubularsock was bopping around France he bumped into a huge protest in the streets of Paris himself. Tubularsock doesn’t speak French but he does drink French wine which gives him credibility in understanding. The protest Tubularsock finally figured out was in favor of the French librarians being on strike. No, you got that right ….. The French LIBRARIANS! (les bibliothécaires Français) Tubularsock marveled at the size of the protest and was flabbergasted at the support for Librarians. WTF? Leaving the protest and cutting through to smaller back streets Tubularsock ran smack into truck loads of the French military decked out in riot gear. Come to find out street protest in France get out of hand often. Side note: From that day forward Tubularsock has never had a library fine for late books. Librarians are a force to contend with! Some things just stick with you. The French live in a cafe culture where people are out in the public sphere all the time and they know what is politically going on not only in France but in the world AND they express their opinion about it publicly. And to see Voltaire’s statement being paraded about, “I may disagree with what you say but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it”, was music to Tubularsock’s core beliefs. Which brings up some bottom line issues for Tubularsock. Tubularsock really likes to at least attempt to take people as individuals and not as groups. On a one to one bases even an ass-hole has some good qualities. So grouping people as “All Moslems, All Jews, All Christians, All Atheists” doesn’t really make too much sense if you want to understand somebody else that isn’t like you. And when “All Moslems, All Jews, All Christians, All Atheists” are grouped like that then usually they are grouped so as to ascribe some negative aspect to them. Not that you can’t dig some shit up about all of them but in general people are individuals. That is where some issues come up that Tubularsock is attempting to explore. Charlie Hebdo cartoons have always covered everyone across the board and make satirical positions whether using cartoons or words to push their view. And hell satire is funny. But why is it that in France as Chris Hedges points out, “. . . a Holocaust denier, or someone who denies the Armenian genocide, can be imprisoned for a year and forced to pay a $60,000 fine. It is a criminal act in France to mock the Holocaust the way Charlie Hebdo mocked Islam.” Why is that? And Hedges continues to point out that, “French high school students must be taught about the Nazi persecution of the Jews, but these same students read almost nothing in their textbooks about the widespread French atrocities, including a death toll among Algerians that some sources set at more than 1 million, in the Algerian war for independence against colonial France.” Why is that? And just why is it that the media seemed to have missed the 2000 Nigerian, mostly women and children” that were slaughtered by Boko Haram the Islamist group and focused all their attention on the Paris attack. Well Tubularsock does find Russell Brand’s explanation having some merit. Brand says that we (Western peoples) can identify with the Paris attack because we live in that type of environment ourselves while a “village” seems a stretch to identify with because it is not familiar. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg8Y0WpbfZw) Why is that? Have we as a people EVER really had the ability to walk in the other guys moccasins? Tubularsock thinks not ……… And the reason Tubularsock thinks not is because if we had that ability we a long time ago would have stopped this constant killing and taking other peoples life, liberty and pursuit of happiness! It appears to Tubularsock as institutions “All Moslems, All Jews, All Christians, All Atheists” have all created reason why walking in the other guys moccasins is of value but continue in reality to justify killing so as to grab those moccasins off their dead feet! Now Tubularsock is not interested in taking a stand and walking out on the end of the limb without it being a true stand for a core belief. Tubularsock is not interested in riling people up without a good reason. Of course, in truth, Tubularsock can ALWAYS find a good reason. And Tubularsock can go off the deep end for the fun of it as well. But poking someone with a stick doesn’t usually get a positive understanding in return. Charlie Hebdo did a lot of anti-Muslim theme cartoons but they did a lot of anti-Pope cartoons and anti-political cartoons. They would have gone after the Jews but didn’t …. as Carlos Latuff, the Arab Brazilian freelance political cartoonist, so aptly conveys the double standard below: You just have to remember if they make fun of YOU it’s not funny. If they make fun of THEM it’s funny. Well Tubularsock can stretch his emotional view across this entire divide. Tubularsock believes, the world as we know it is such a painful place that we should not rile people up. Just let them believe as they wish. But then again Tubularsock believes, fuck all that maybe a cartoon depicting Allah as a pile of pig shit will settle it. And those extreme views rattle around in Tubularsock’s head ALL THE TIME! But more to the point ……. Tubularsock doesn’t have a bone to pick with Allah or God, or Mohammad, or Jesus, or Buddha for that matter. No, Tubularsock leaves all the fantasy manipulations to Disney. Tubularsock has a bone to pick with the ignorant Air Force Captain who reads his Bible and then climbs into his jet and bombs the fuck out of his fellow humans beings. Tubularsock has a bone to pick with that ignorant mujahid who reads his Koran and then marches off to bomb the fuck out of all those who don’t believe as he does. Tubularsock has a bone to pick with the governments that play the ignorant to achieve domination over others. But most of all Tubularsock has a bone to pick with all those who don’t realize that we are all one …….. now how fucking simple is that? This entire Charlie Hebdo cartoon mess falls back to that playground scene most everyone who went to grade school has witnessed. You know ……. “if you step over that line I’ll punch you”. And what ALWAYS happens? Yep. And just like the playground scene there are the background players who egg each side on. And Tubularsock still has the 10 year old stance when it comes to being “warned” not to do something. Tubularsock’s “adult-self” likes to be reasonable and rational about decision making but confronted with that WARNING/THREAT from anyone over anything and Tubularsock ALWAYS jumps to his 10 year old self. Now Tubularsock would like at this point to say that he had overcome his 10 year old response for his adult-self response. But in truth the only thing that has changed is that when someone gives that WARNING/THREAT Tubularsock steps back three paces. Not to take an adult appraisal of the situation but to give himself more speed as he head butts the fucker. Well, so much for all those anger management sessions. Just when will mankind wake up and say enough? You know the answer as well as Tubularsock and that is why Tubularsock just happens to be selling bulletproof vests. You see there are more people going back to work because the job numbers reflect the government workers, that were put on furlough during the shut-down, that are now back at work. Now, that’s sly. And there is an influx of part time holiday workers that have gotten jobs to fight off the Black Friday onslaught so those jobs are counted in the job numbers. And of course people that stop looking for work aren’t counted at all. But nobody counts them! There could be six people or five million but if nobody counts them then the numbers look better on that new employment graph. Wow. Tubularsock has gotten off track again. All Tubularsock wanted to do was explain HIS process in getting a job over the Christmas part time employment spike. And Tubularsock will admit right here that for many of you you really couldn’t do the job that Tubularsock has been hired to do because of Tubularsock’s stellar abilities. Now, trust me. This is not bravado this is just the TRUTH as Tubularsock see it! But what is important to you is that Tubularsock will lead you through the rough terrain of finding a job over the holiday season. Now with the many jobs that are offered you’ll find that you are overqualified if you know how to read and write English and if you expect to be paid. I know that is discouraging but stay tough! Now don’t sell out! Tubularsock went for what he was qualified to do and pushed forward even when the odds would appear totally against him. Staying true to your calling will land you the job you can do best. It worked for Tubularsock! Now there was the “Three Wise Men” job. First, Tubularsock noted that that job would spread himself rather thin. Not to mention being only paid as one wise man doing three wise men’s work. Fuck that! And second, perhaps it would have been alright if it had been a “Three Yes Men” job but Tube said NO! And of course the standard “Santa Gig” job. Now I ask you …….. really? A job where you dress up as a fat old man and let children sit in your lap for extended periods of time while they are screaming and tears running down their little faces …….. HO, HO, HO. They just couldn’t pay Tube enough! And then there was the “Baby in the Manger” job. A great job because you get to sleep for long periods of time. Much like the job in that cubical you had last year except a manger is a long low trough which is so much better to stretch out in. The only drawback is the persistent hymning of the neon halo. Tube turned it down in part because the neon halo ran interference with Tubularsock’s natural halo …….. you should be so lucky! So things were looking pretty glum for Tubularsock in his quest for the perfect part time job during Christmas but then this poster appeared on a telephone pole near Tubularsock’s underground bunker: Now you have to admit as well as you know Tubularsock that he was a shoe-in for this job. Just his infallibility alone put him over the top! And yes, if you get a chance to visit the Vatican this Christmas Season do drop by his offices for a visit and just ask for TubePope …….. Dio e Tubularsock sono uno! Basta inviare contanti!

Q: How to get value from Dropdownlist? I have two DropDownList which are related to each other by a foreign key. Category and Subcategory(with categoryid as foreign key). I am retrieving Categories from database and filling them up as: DB CLASS public class DB { public static List<SelectListItem> Categories { get{ List<SelectListItem> list = new List<SelectListItem { new SelectListItem{Text = "Category1" , Value = "categoryId1"}, new SelectListItem{Text = "Category2" , Value = "categoryId2"} }; return list; } public static List<SelectListItem> SubcategoryWithCategoryId(int categoryId) {...} } Now i can fill Subcategory dropdown with a method which expects categoryId as input: View @Html.DropDownList("Category", DB.Categories, "Select Category", new { style = "width:80px" }) @Html.DropDownList("Subcategory", DB.SubcategoryWithCategoryId(categoryId), "Select Subcategory", new { style = "width:80px" }) I am a beginner in ASP.NET MVC and i am using ADO.NET to access the database. How can i now get the Selected Item's Value Field so i can fit it into my DB.SubcategoryWithCategoryId(categoryId) to retrieve subcategories mapped across the selected category? Controller public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } A: You need handle onchange of dropdown as @Html.DropDownList("Category", DB.Categories, "Select Category", new { style = "width:80px", onchange = "location.href='@Url.Action("Index", "Controller", new { category= "yourcategory"})'" }) And add category as paramter of index action public ActionResult Index(string category)

This July, a little boy named Antonio Vargas Jr. lost his mother. When Christmas came around, his father Antonio Vargas Sr. wanted to do something a little extra special. So he went to a Build-A-Bear store and created a very unique gift: A plush monkey that played audio recordings of Antonio Jr.’s late mother’s voice. Vargas Sr. filmed the moment his son opened the gift, as the boy immediately burst into tears upon hearing his mother’s voice. Watching this video will have you reaching for the tissues, too: The stuffed monkey played his mother’s voice saying three phrases: “I love you to the world and back,” “Give me a big hug. I love you,” and “I love you guys so much, and I will always love you.” How truly touching. The fact that the stuffed animal was a monkey held significance, too. “We always called our son our little monkey. So on Christmas Day, his dream came true!!! I love my little man with all my heart, Daddy loves you,” the dad wrote on Facebook. Vargas Sr.’s video gained quite a bit of attention online, and has already been viewed over 600,000 times on YouTube. People wrote in to tell the father what a great gift he had given to his son. “That is beautiful…Your son will cherish that forever. You are an awesome Dad…God Bless you All,” one person commented on Facebook, and many other wrote in sharing similar sentiments. Having others reach out touched the father, and he wrote a big thank you to everyone for their kind words on a GoFundMe page that has been set up to help the family. GoFundMe / Antonio Vargas “I want to start by saying Thank You from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has been very supportive of the video and who took the time to express their sincere condolences,” Vargas Sr. wrote. The father continued, “Because this happened so fast we did not expect anyone to offer a helping hand, but due to multiple request we decided to create an account for those interested in helping. I would also like to express my deepest condolences and prayers to those who have also lost a loved one and may God continue to bless your family.” This was a very touching moment between father and son, and hopefully the little monkey will serve as a reminder of the late mother. Wishing all the best to this family!

Get in the Ring "Get in the Ring" is the fifth song on the Guns N' Roses album Use Your Illusion II. Written by Axl Rose, Duff McKagan and Slash, it is directed at music critics. Mentioned by name are critics from Hit Parader (Andy Secher), Circus, Kerrang! (Mick Wall) and Spin (Bob Guccione, Jr.). Background The song was originally written by McKagan as "Why Do You Look at Me When You Hate Me?", which is its first line. In the interview that precipitated Mick Wall's mention in the song (see below), Rose said: "I've brought in an album. Duff brought in one song. It's called 'Why Do You Look At Me When You Hate Me?' and it's just bad-assed. And I wrote a bunch of words to that." The song was then going to be titled "Get in the Ring Motherfucker" but that was changed too. At the time of the song's release, Mick Wall of Kerrang! was thought to have been mentioned because of his book Guns N' Roses: The Most Dangerous Band in the World, which was a no holds barred collection of interviews and stories about the band. Wall denies this, and claims the real reason was an interview he conducted in early 1990 for Kerrang! that included Rose's threat to harm Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe after an incident involving Neil's wife and Izzy Stradlin. The song suggests that Bob Guccione, Jr.'s father (founder of Penthouse magazine) "gets more pussy" than Guccione Jr. The younger Guccione responded in a letter to Rose, saying he accepted the challenge to a fight and could use the promotion to help sell magazines. Rose later backed down from the fight, reportedly after learning that Guccione Jr. had nine years of fight training. "Get in the Ring" is notorious for its amount of swearing. Recording The chants of "Guns. And. Roses" and "Get in the ring" were recorded with the audience at a Saratoga Springs concert on June 10, 1991. Personnel W. Axl Rose – lead vocals, production Slash – lead guitar, production Izzy Stradlin – rhythm guitar, production Duff McKagan – bass, backing vocals, production Matt Sorum – drums, production Dizzy Reed – piano, production References External links Category:Guns N' Roses songs Category:1991 songs Category:Songs written by Axl Rose Category:Songs written by Duff McKagan Category:Songs written by Slash (musician)

Q: Flutter localisation of BottomNavigationBar items I am creating a localized app with a Bottom Nav Bar on main page. If I change localization the BottomNavigationBar's items name not updating until click one of them. How can I update the Bottom Bar? What am I miss?

Q: Bucket of Staging files after deploying an app engine After deploying a google app engine, at least 4 buckets are created in the google cloud storage: [project-id].appspot.com staging.[project-id].appspot.com artifacts.[project-id].appspot.com vm-containers.[project-id].appspot.com What are they, and will they incur storage cost? Can they be safely deleted? A: They are not mandatory for a GAE app - one has to explicitly enable GCS for a GAE app for some of these to be created. At least a while back only the 1st 2 were created by default (for a standard environment python app) when GCS was enabled and they are by default empty. It is possible that the others are created by default as well these days, I'm not sure. But they could also be created by and used for something specific you're doing in/for your app - only you can tell that. You can check what's in them via the Storage menu in the developer console. That might give a hint as for their usage. For my apps which have such buckets created - they're empty. From Default Google Cloud Storage bucket: Applications can use a Default Google Cloud Storage bucket, which has free quota and doesn't require billing to be enabled for the app. You create this free default bucket in the Google Cloud Platform Console App Engine settings page for your project. The free quota is 5 GB, so as long as you don't reach that you're OK. Now there is a matter of one bucket mentioned in the docs vs the multiple ones actually seen - debatable, I'm not sure what to suggest. In short - I'd check the content of these directories. If they're not empty I'd check the estimated costs for any indication that the free 5 GB quota might not be applicable for them. If that's the case I'd investigate the actual usage and decide if to delete something or not. Otherwise I'd just leave them be. A: Staging buckets are described in the App Engine's documentation when Setting Up Google Cloud Storage. I am quoting relevant information here for future viewers: Note: When you create a default bucket, you also get a staging bucket with the same name except that staging. is prepended to it. You can use this staging bucket for temporary files used for staging and test purposes; it also has a 5 GB limit, but it is automatically emptied on a weekly basis. So in essence, when you create either an app Engine Standard or Flexible, you get these two buckets. You can delete the buckets (I deleted the staging one) and I was able to recover it by running gcloud beta app repair.

"DEAD SNOW" "Hey." "Listen to this." "It says that a man was skiing in the mountain wilds." "It actually says "mountain wilds"." "In the middle of two mountain tops, he starts yelling for his dog." " "Avalanche!"" " Not very clever..." "When he was found two days later he had dug himself 6 meters..." "Downwards." " What?" " That's pretty normal actually, because if you're taken by an avalanche you get so disoriented that you won't know which way is up." "So many starts digging the wrong way." " I would easily find the right way." " You should just spit!" "Have no one been in the military?" "If you're stuck under the snow after an avalance, you should spit to find out which way to dig." "Just lie there and slobber on yourself?" " Slobber?" " It means drooling." " Dribble." " Dribble." "You owe me a coke." "The spit will run downwards, so you just dig the opposite way." " Gravity, as easy as that." " Can you remember stuff from the military?" "I can only remember my duty number... 69..." " Speaking of 69 Martin..." " No thanks." "Not interested." "Oh, damn it." " I mean of course Hanna's cousin." " Kris?" " Yeah, is she single?" " She is very single." "I don't know her, but..." "Hanna says she is..." "Very single." "Do you think there's any chance to slam it in her number two?" "If you spit first." " Where do you think Sara is now?" " I don't know." "She'll probably be there tonight or tomorrow." "I don't understand why she bothers taking the trip over those mountains." "So, tell me about the boys that are coming." "Ok." "Martin, which is the best looking one..." " Is mine." " How did it turn out with him?" " Will he finish the studies?" " I'm not sure." "Don't think he is either." "It's not exactly optimal to be a medical student and still afraid of blood." " Poor Martin." " Martin is scared of blood, and wants to be a doctor?" " Seriously?" " Yes." "And then Vegard." "He's the one who's with Sara." "And then there's Erlend." "The worlds biggest movie geek." "And Roy, the horniest boy north of the polar circle." " He is single, you can get him." " Thanks." "Nice." "How does it feel to be on the loser team?" "That overtaking earlier..." "Ok." "Just follow the scooter trail." "It will only take 45 minutes." "When you arrive, I will have unpacked most of the luggage and heated the cabin." " Is there cell phone reception there?" " No, we lost that half an hour ago." "Where am I then supposed to call and breathe heavily in the mike?" "The emergency number." "Take care." "Mile after mile, after mile!" "Hold on a second." "I have a question." "How many movies begins with a group of friends going on a trip without cell phone reception?" " Friday the 13th." " They don't have reception because they don't have cell phones." " Evil Dead 1 and 2." " Yes, sort of." "Except that many counts the sequel as a remake with higher budget." " New rule." "No movie talk for an hour." " Good suggestion." "It's for your own good Erlend." "If you want to dip your balls this weekend, you should stop the nerd alert." "And then you have April Fool's Day from... 1984 I think." "Now that's a classic." " Don't you agree?" " Yes." "Let's go." "Damn, I'm so warm now." "It's beautiful here." " So, what should we do?" " Watch a movie?" " We unpack and get acquainted." " I have a better idea..." "Left foot on green." "You already have it on green." "Why do we even play this game?" "Because Hollywood told us that is a great fun." "Right foot on red." "It has to be the most boring game..." "That ever..." " No joking?" " Of course." " One more time?" " Let me show you sedation from the Middle Ages." "Lay down." " What are you doing?" " Like that." "Put your arms behind..." "There." " You're sitting on my hands." " It's how it works." " Now close your eyes." " No." " Close your eyes." " No, I'm not closing them." "Don't..." "Martin, Stop." "Quit it..." "Just relax." " Martin!" " Cut it out!" " I was only kidding." " Why do you do that, I get claustrophobic." "I can't breathe." " Sorry." "Look now." " No." " How does that work?" " Get some beer." " What?" " Beer." "Beer, beer." "Beer, beer, beer." "Hello?" "Hello?" " There's someone there." " Hm?" " I saw someone." " It's probably Sara." " Not Sara..." " Are you sure it wasn't an elk?" "I can damn well see the difference between a human and an elk." "I don't see anything." "There's nothing here." "Vegard was right, it was probably just an animal." "Typical women." "They get frightened by everything." "Is it possible to get a cup of coffee here?" "Who made the coffee?" "Ecological..." " Didn't it taste good?" " No, it didn't." " What are you nice kids doing at a place like this?" " Easter vacation." " Is it your cabin?" " No, my girlfiend's." " Ok." "And who's the lucky one?" " She's not here right now, she's skiing across Istind." " Across Istind?" "She's a bit more athletic than the rest of us." "Is the terrain dangerous?" "The terrain is the least of your problems up there, to put it that way." "I assume that you little spoiled shitheads didn't bother to check out the local history before you came waltzing in on that bloody snow tractor of yours." "Things have happened here." "Things that people don't like to talk about." "During World War II, Øksfjord was an important location for the Germans." "It was..." "Almost like a middle station for German destroyers." "It was an important link to stop convoys between Britain and Russia." ""Einsatz"" "That was the name of the forces that were stationed there." "In contrast to most places where..." "The Germans got along with the civilians, that was not the case here." "It was under leadership by..." "Colonel Herzog." "So it went to hell with the civilians." "The people were tortured, beaten and maltreated every day." "Trust me when I tell you." "These were evil hellish bastards." "It was towards the end of the war when they stepped over the line." "The Germans started to realize they were beaten, and the Russians were on their way." "The Germans went into every house and stole all gold, silver and shiny items they could find." "Those who protested got a bullet between their eyes." "But it was after that they got one hell of a surprise." "The citizens had secretly teamed up." "And decided that enough is enough." "All the anger and rage the 3,000 citizens had built up during the last three years needed to be unleashed." "So they had started gathering all the weapons they could find." "That was basically scythes, axes, knives, shovels..." "Everything that could break a skull." "So they ambushed the bastards in the middle of the night." "The soldiers didn't have a chance, and they knew it." "Several got killed." "So, the devil himself..." "Colonel Herzog and several of his men managed to escape." "They ran up in the mountains." "And took with them lots of the stolen goods, the greedy pigs that they were." "Several civilians followed them, but they lost the tracks up in the mountains." "In these exact mountains..." "Where they most likely froze to death." "Because of that people step lightly up here." "There's an evil presence here." "An evil you wouldn't want to wake." "Yeah." "We have to be careful so we don't wake up the evil." "I should get moving." " Remember what I told you." " We're actually medical students all of us." "So I think we'll do fine." "Unfortunately we haven't learnt to banish evil yet, but I think that's on next semester." "But what if you are holding your own intestines in your hands, what do you do then?" "Or if you get your arms and legs torn off." "What do you do then?" "Have you learned that yet?" "Thanks for the coffee." "Sara?" "Sara?" "Sara?" "Sara?" "Sara?" "Hello?" "Is there anybody there?" "Hello?" "I have a weapon." "Are you sure we shouldn't wait til tomorrow?" "She'll probably be here during the day." " It's no problem." " You're probably right." "I just have a bad feeling." " She'll probably be here soon." " Listen." "If I'm not back tomorrow..." "Just listen." "If I'm not back tomorrow, follow the scooter trails back down to the car and get help." " Ok." " Ok." "I'll find her." " See you later." " Drive carefully." "Ok boys." "We want a clean race." "You'll start at my signal, and no dirty tricks." " Please, just one dirty trick." " Not even one." "Are the drivers ready?" "On your marks, get set, go!" "Erlend!" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hi." "Ah, fuck." "Calling doctor Hovden." "Doctor Hovden to the emergency room." "I see you're not exactly rid of that little problem of yours." "I assume there's not much action when Aunt Flow visits." " God damn, you're so childish." " How the hell are you going to manage six years of medical studies, when you almost vomit from a tiny cut." "You can be a baker, perhaps." " Does anyone want a beer?" " Are you ok?" " Yeah..." " Sorry." "Cunt bag." "Check this out." "It says 1942." " 1942?" " Hey, hey, it's mine." "Let's wait til Sara and Vegard return." "We won't touch it before then." " Nah." " Ok?" "Em, mkay." "SARA!" "Sara!" "We are two small pretty ladies." "Hey, hey." "Let's not get crazy here." " We don't know who it belongs to." " That box has been here for 50 years." "We just take what we want, cash in, and pay off our student loans." "It hasn't been there for 50 years without anyone noticing it." "50 years?" "It's 100, I promise you that." " People have seen it, and it's just flemflams." " Huh?" "Fle...?" "Flemflams?" "Flemflams..?" "Flemflams!" " No, I'm going to take a shit." " Godspeed." "Good luck." "Name him after me."

"We have to do something." "We can't just sit here and wait for..." "Wait for it to fix itself." "We have to do something." "What if we split up." "Two look for the car, while two wait here for Vegard." "Those who eventually leave will most likely get those bloody bastards after them." "If two go outside and makes sounds, it will attract..." "Those creatures." "At the same time the two others run into the woods." "Then we'll just run towards the fjord." "There are people down by the fjord, we will have to get help." "Who will get to be those lucky bastards acting as bait?" " You do something too!" " Ok..." "Where are you, you cowardly bastards?" "!" "Are you afraid to come out in daylight?" "!"

Chicago Transit Authority representatives (from left) Jeffrey Wilson, senior manager of government and community relations; Steve Hands, senior project manager of strategic planning; and Mike McLaughlin, vice president of planning and federal affairs. View Full Caption Provided/CTA LAKEVIEW — With its very own opposition coalition and a decent chunk of media attention, the proposed Brown Line bypass at the Belmont station has been ruffling feathers since it was announced last spring. Officials from the Chicago Transit Authority are hopeful that a June 3 public hearing will give them a chance to fully explain the need for the flyover, answer questions and get feedback from neighbors. Ahead of that, DNAinfo Chicago sat down with CTA representatives to ask six common questions about the project. - Do we really need the Belmont flyover? Why isn't updating the track structure enough to fix capacity issues? - Hang on. I thought this was all about shortening the wait time. - Why bother sending my feedback to the CTA? Is it going to make any difference? - How is the CTA going to pay for all this? - I don't want a big ugly structure marring my neighborhood. What's the CTA plan for redevelopment? - Affected property owners are tired of waiting around to see if their homes will be sold. What's going on with the acquisition process? 1. Do we really need the Belmont flyover? Why isn't updating the track structure enough to fix capacity issues? CTA says: Overcrowding on trains, especially during rush hours, can leave passengers stranded on platforms or suffering delays as Red and Purple line trains wait for the northbound Brown Line trains to cross over at the Belmont station. The CTA has been adding more trains to the lines during peak hours, but "we're at capacity now. Even a one-percent growth (in ridership) would put us way past capacity," said Steve Hands, CTA senior project manager of strategic planning. After considering 20 alternatives, the bypass was the project that would disrupt the neighborhood the least while still increasing capacity. To get federal funding for the Red-Purple Modernization project, it must increase capacity by at least 10 percent. While plans to update and replace track lines and structures will help to a smaller degree, "you have to relieve the bottleneck before you can deal with the other constraints that are limiting capacity," Hands said. Adding the flyover as a fifth track at the junction will increase capacity by more than 30 percent, the CTA estimates. 2. Hang on. I thought this was all about shortening the wait time. CTA says: The wait times are a symptom of the capacity constraint. Eliminating that constraint allows the CTA to run more trains with fewer delays, boosting hourly ridership by 7,200 per hour on the three lines. As for the fluctuating average wait times, it's difficult to measure how the Brown Line crossing over slows trains as far down as Armitage or Clark and Division stations. "It's like saying you're at a traffic light and it's backed up — how long is the wait time? When do you start the line for the light? Traffic doesn't start at the intersection," said Mike McLaughlin, vice president of planning and federal affairs. Last year, the CTA hit its highest annual ridership since it began recording the data in 1961. "Ridership is expanding nationwide, and the trend has been continuing for 20 years," McLaughlin said. To measure ridership growth, the CTA made projections based on the number of train riders, loading flow and Red and Purple line boardings. Even the most conservative estimate showed an "urgent need" for increased services, Hands said. 3. Why bother sending my feedback to the CTA? Is it going to make any difference? CTA says: Plans are only between 10 and 30 percent complete at this stage, which means there's plenty of time for residents to voice their opinions. Aside from the flyover itself, the CTA said its willing to consider a range of alternatives to lessen the impact on the neighborhood. "Absolutely, 100 percent, there is wiggle room," said Jeffrey Wilson, senior manager of government and community relations. Wilson also promised the agency would meet with any neighborhood organization looking for more information, now that the environment assessment has been released. Prior to construction, the CTA also wants to know what side effects are of most concern to neighbors. "We think we have all the answers with regards to mitigation, and then you go to a community meeting, and they say, 'Well we don't care about that, we're more worried about our neighborhood being overrun with rats,'" Wilson said. In renderings released Tuesday, the CTA depicts what the Brown Line flyover would look like at the Belmont station. [Provided/CTA] 4. How is the CTA going to pay for all this? CTA says: The agency is hoping to get federal funding for about half of the $1.9 billion Red-Purple Modernization project. The money would come from the Core Capacity program that began in 2012. To get the money, the project must improve capacity by at least 10 percent, which is why the flyover is vital to the project. "If you just do [track improvements] from Lawrence to Bryn Mawr, you're talking over $1 billion of just local funds. The local share actually increases if you don't do the bypass," McLaughlin said. The remainder will be state and city, and despite Gov. Bruce Rauner's proposed transportation cuts "there's talk about a capital funding bill, so we're hopeful." 5. I don't want a big ugly structure marring my neighborhood (just look at the Wilton Avenue lot). What's the CTA's plans for redevelopment this time around? CTA says: One of the first steps following the environmental assessment is starting work on a Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan. Along with the office of Ald. Tom Tunney (44th), chambers of commerce and neighbors, the CTA will create a plan to determine what sort of redevelopment will fit with the neighborhood and establish recommendations from the community. The plan will be completed before construction begins. Ideally, the CTA would like the areas surrounding the Belmont station to see the same redevelopment progress as neighborhoods near the Brown Line expansion project. The agency pulled the Wilton Avenue lot from listings when the Great Recession struck in 2009. About 100 feet of the plot is currently on the market, but by the time the economy had recovered, the CTA pegged the land for the Red Purple Modernization. "Did we, in good faith, put those properties on the market when the project was done? Yes, we did. But we didn't have a crystal ball, and we didn't know there would be a recession. Nothing was moving," Wilson said. The Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan is designed, in part, to remedy that problem this time around. Redevelopment would be vital to keep the Lakeview neighborhood flourishing. This rendering depicts the northwest view from Clark Street and Buckingham Place with and without redevelopment. [CTA] 6. Affected property owners are tired of waiting around to see if their homes will be sold. What's going on with the acquisition process? CTA says: Property owners ready to sell can begin the early acquisition process, which some have already done. The CTA has appointed a real estate consultant who is at the owners' disposal any time and hand-delivered multiple letters about the project's progress. Neighbors still have at least two years before construction begins, meaning renting properties can also be a viable option for those ready to move on, said spokeswoman Tammy Chase.

The “permanent closure” notice posted at Let it Bean. Thanks to Mark and many others for sending pictures to us We’ve been surprised before by the coffee shack’s business resiliency but this just might really be the end. Yet another hole — this one, teensy, tiny — is about to be torn in Broadway’s business fabric. Let it Bean is set to close this coming weekend. Owner Candace Smith confirmed the closure plans with CHS earlier this month. It has been no secret. Smith posted a note to let customers know what was coming. Smith tells CHS the 80-square-foot coffee stand in the teriyaki restaurant parking lot at Broadway and Harrison, despite its grandmothered usage allowing it to operate as a drive-thru, just doesn’t generate enough business to cover costs. “I’m closing because the rent and labor costs are too high for where our sales are,” she writes. “Coffee is a hard product to charge more for.” Let it Bean transformed itself out of the former TNT Espresso in late 2016. Smith acquired the business from Rock Sielaff who, in turn, acquired it from longtime TNT operator Monica Anaya. Sielaff’s tour of duty lasted a year. Anaya, or Momo, and her crew were behind the counter for much longer. We visited in 2015 to say goodbye to the shack only to see it spring back to life with new ownership. That could again be the case with the latest closure. But Smith said any new business will be starting from scratch — all of the espresso gear is being pulled out when Let it Bean closes, she said. As for Smith, she tells CHS she will get back to focus on her career as a massage therapist. The closure will join a ripple of businesses exiting Broadway. The month started with an abrupt shuttering of the second-coming of Charlie’s on Broadway. A bankruptcy meltdown of the chain means Broadway’s American Apparel will close any day now. And on Friday, Dilettante announced it was exiting its birth neighborhood at the end of the month with the closure of its cafe and martini bar at Broadway and Mercer. Let it Bean is scheduled to remain open through Sunday, January 29th.

One Good Turn (novel) One Good Turn (subtitled A Jolly Murder Mystery) is a 2006 crime novel by Kate Atkinson set in Edinburgh during the Festival. “People queuing for a lunchtime show witness a brutal road rage incident - an incident that changes the lives of everyone involved.” It is the second novel to feature former private investigator Jackson Brodie and is set two years after the earlier Case Histories. Plot Principal characters Paul Bradley, lost in central Edinburgh, is driving a rented Peugeot when he brakes suddenly to avoid hitting a pedestrian who stepped out in front of his car Terence Smith a.k.a. 'Honda Man,' driving a Honda Civic, collides with the rear of the Peugeot and attacks the driver with a baseball bat, knocking Bradley unconscious Martin Canning, a successful author of crime novels (set in the 1940s and featuring a heroine called Nina Riley), witnesses the incident and throws his laptop bag at the attacker to stop him killing the prostrate driver. Honda Man does not respond but gets in his car and drives off Jackson Brodie, divorced ex policeman and now retired private detective, is visiting Edinburgh with his girlfriend Julia (featured in the first novel), who is appearing in a Fringe production. He witnesses the attack and leaves his card with Martin. Gloria Hatter, wife of millionaire builder Graham Hatter, under investigation for fraud Tatiana, a Russian call-girl seeing Graham Hatter. Louise Munroe, a Detective Sergeant and single parent, who is called to Cramond to investigate a drowned woman and becomes attracted to Jackson Brodie Reception Reviews were mostly positive. Justine Jordan of The Guardian enjoyed the novel, saying 'the finale, when the cast are manoeuvred together for a violent climax and the inevitable expostulations of "You? Here? Why?", does not slot the pieces together as neatly as the Russian dolls which stud the novel might suggest. But the pleasure of One Good Turn lies in the ride, in Atkinson's wry, unvanquished characters, her swooping, savvy, sarcastic prose and authorial joie de vivre'. Liesl Schillinger of the New York Times said, "Kate Atkinson shows again, in her inimitable bleakly funny way, how much easier it is to explain a death than to solve a life." In "no hurry to judge," Atkinson "acts like a hidden camera, dispassionately recording her characters’ deeds and misdeeds so they can indict themselves. Indeed, she has woven the technological accessories of the last 10 years into the fabric of her story, threading them through it like an invisible current into which the lives of all her characters are plugged." But Amanda Craig writing in The Independent says 'Unlike its dark and dazzling predecessor, One Good Turn is neither a good literary novel nor a satisfying detective story, though it had the potential to have been both'. This novel was “shortlisted for the British Book Awards Crime Thriller of the Year.” Adaptations The novel was adapted for television with two other of Atkinson's Brodie series for the BBC in 2011 with the overall title Case Histories. This novel was covered as the second two parts of the series. Cast Jason Isaacs as Jackson Brodie Simon Weir as Paul Bradley Brian McCardie as Terence Smith Adam Godley as Martin Canning Marion Bailey as Gloria Hatter Amanda Abbington as Louise Monroe References External links ReviewsOfBooks.com with links to several reviews Interview with Kate Atkinson about One Good Turn on NPR Liesl Schillinger, "Unusual Suspects", The New York Times, 29 October 2006 Category:Novels by Kate Atkinson Category:2006 British novels Category:Novels set in Edinburgh Category:British mystery novels Category:Sequel novels Category:Novels about writers Category:British crime novels Category:Doubleday (publisher) books

Originally published under the title "When It Comes to Islam, Western Leaders Are Liars or Idiots." When it comes to the connection between Islam and violence against non-Muslims, one fact must be embraced: the majority of those in positions of leadership and authority in the West are either liars or fools, or both. No other alternative exists. The reason for this uncharitable assertion is simple: If Islam was once a faraway, exotic religion, today we hear calls for, and see acts of, violence committed in its name, or the name of its deity ("Allahu Akbar!"), practically every day. And many of us still have "ears that hear and eyes that see." It's no secret: Muslims from all around the world and from all walks of life—not just "terrorists" or "ISIS"—unequivocally and unapologetically proclaim that Islam commands them to hate, subjugate or kill all who resist it, including all non-Muslim "infidels." This is the official position of several Muslim governments, including America's closest "friends and allies," like Saudi Arabia and Qatar; it's the official position of Islamic institutions of lower and higher learning—from Bangladeshi high schools to Egypt's Al Azhar, the world's most prestigious Islamic university; and it's the official position broadcast in numerous languages on Islamic satellite stations that air into Muslim homes around the world. There's no excuse today for ignorance about Islam among those in positions of authority. In short, there's no excuse today for ignorance about Islam—especially for those in positions of leadership or authority. Yet it is precisely they who most vehemently deny any connection between Islam and violence. Why? The most recent example (as of this writing, that is) took place on July 18 in Germany. An axe-waving Muslim refugee attacked a number of train passengers and critically injured three. Although an ISIS flag was found in his room, although he called for the slaughter of any Muslim who dares leave Islam, although he yelled "Allahu Akbar"—Islam's unequivocal war cry—authorities claimed "it was too early to speculate about the motives of the attacker." Catholic Bishop Friedhelm Hofmann of Wuerzburg, where the axe attack took place, was bewildered: "One is speechless at such a moment. This fact cannot be understood." Instead of being vigilant around Muslim migrants, he suggested "Maybe we need to help the unaccompanied young refugees even more and help them to overcome their own traumas." About a month earlier in Germany, this same scene played itself over: while screaming "Allahu Akbar" and "infidels must die," another Muslim man in another train station stabbed to death one man and injured three others. Still, German authorities "found no evidence of Islamist motive." In neighboring France—which has "Europe's largest Muslim minority" and is also (coincidentally?) the "most threatened country"—this sequence of events (a Muslim attacks in the name of Islam, authorities claim difficulty in finding "motive") is becoming endemic. On July 19, a Muslim man vacationing with his pregnant wife and children stabbed a neighboring woman and her three daughters for being "scantily dressed." The youngest girl, 8, was in critical condition with a punctured lung. Although this is a common occurrence throughout the Muslim world—many Muslim women don the hijab precisely because they know the consequences of not doing so in public—and although French television was bold enough to say that the man, named Mohamed B, 37, "may have acted out of religious motives," local mayor, Edmond Francou, said he preferred "not to speculate about the motive of the attack." A few days earlier another "Allahu Akbar" screaming Muslim killed 84 people in Nice. Yet according to French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, the killer's "motives [were] not yet established." Asked if he could at least confirm the attacker's motives were linked to jihadism, he said, "No." Reuters went so far as to write an article blaming France for its own terrorization. U.S. law enforcement officials expressed puzzlement at the motives of Orlando shooter Omar Mateen. Turning to the United States, one finds the same pattern at work, most recently when a Muslim man went into a homosexual nightclub in Orlando and killed 49. Despite the fact that ISIS regularly kills homosexuals and that the killer—who "recited prayers to Allah during the attack"—pledged his allegiance to the group, "Attorney General Loretta Lynch said that the investigation is still ongoing, and a motive has yet to be established," while "the FBI was confused about Mateen's motive." Earlier this year, Edward Archer, a convert to Islam, shot and wounded Philadelphia police officer Jesse Hartnett. He later explained his motive: "I follow Allah. I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic state. That is why I did what I did." Yet after showing a surveillance video of Archer in Islamic dress shooting at Hartnett, Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney emphatically declared: In no way shape or form does anyone in this room believe that Islam or the teaching of Islam has anything to do with what you've seen on the screen....It is abhorrent. It is terrible and it does not represent the religion or any of its teachings. This is a criminal with a stolen gun who tried to kill one of our officers. It has nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith. One can go on and on. From California alone: Despite the evidence that the Muslim couple that massacred 14 people in San Bernardino was motivated by Islamic teachings of jihad against the hated "infidel," Obama claimed "We do not know their motivations." Chris Hayes and MSNBC were also "baffled" in their search for a motive. Despite the many indicators that the Muslim student who went on a stabbing spree in UC Merced was described as a "devout Muslim," had an ISIS flag, and praised Allah in his manifesto—"local and federal authorities insisted that Faisal Mohammad, 18, carried out the vicious attack because he'd been banished from a study group." Despite the fact that a man named "Jihad" went to an El Monte police station, where he "used the word 'jihad' several times" while making a bomb threat, police "so far don't have a motive." Most politicians—practically every democrat but also a majority of republicans, with the notable exception of Donald Trump—make the same claims. This begins with U.S. President Obama who insists that the Islamic State "is not Islamic," calls for the "rejection by non-Muslims of the ignorance that equates Islam with terror," and classified the Fort Hood massacre as "workplace violence," despite the overwhelming evidence that it was jihad. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton admonished us to bear in mind that "Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism." Republican leaders like John McCain gush about how "unequivocally, without a doubt, the religion of Islam is an honorable and reasonable religion. ISIS has nothing to do with the reality of Islam." "Conservative" talking heads like Bill O'Reilly flippantly dismiss jihad as "a perversion of Islam, we all know that." What is to be made of all these claims from our "leaders" that fly in the face of reality? Only immensely deranged or immensely deceitful people can claim that a Muslim who cites the Koran and calls on Allah is not acting in the name of Islam. Islam is threatening the West not due to its own capabilities, but because the West allows it to. Take your pick, but there are no other alternatives. (Note: When I make this argument, some rebut by saying that there are other alternatives—that such people are too craven, that they've been bought and paid for, etc. All these are different motivations that nonetheless fall under the lying category.) Regardless of the source of the narrative that defends Islam—stupidity or deceitfulness—the same damage is done. Remember, Islam is not threatening the West due to its own innate capabilities, but because the West allows it to. Thus the real battle revolves around getting the West to see reality—a battle which involves rooting out the liars and fools from government, media, education, and other positions of influence—an admittedly herculean task, considering that the lie is now the narrative and truth is evil.

Q: Problem displaying custom property values for SharePoint custom field types I'm trying to create a custom field type in SharePoint (WSS 3.0) that has custom properties. I have created my fldtypes*.xml file based on the SDK docs and this blog post and it seems to render fine and I can retrieve the custom property values inside my code. My problem is that after the initial field creation, if I go back to the list settings page and click on my newly added field, the form shows my custom properties with some value that I'm not providing it. For example, if my custom property's display name is "My Custom Prop" then the value in its textbox will be "My Custom Prop field value". My question is this: how can I properly show the actual string values of my custom property types in these textboxes? Here's my fldtypes*.xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <FieldTypes> <FieldType> <Field Name="TypeName">MyCustomField</Field> <Field Name="TypeDisplayName">My Custom Field</Field> <Field Name="TypeShortDescription">MyCustomField</Field> <Field Name="ParentType">Text</Field> <Field Name="UserCreatable">TRUE</Field> <Field Name="FieldTypeClass">MyCustomField.CustomFields.MyCustomField, MyCustomField, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d772gbab82fe6996</Field> <PropertySchema> <Fields> <Field Name="MyCustomProp" DisplayName="My Custom Prop" Type="Text" MaxLength="50" DisplaySize="30" /> </Fields> </PropertySchema> </FieldType> </FieldTypes> And here's the code for my field type class: public class MyCustomField : SPFieldText { private string propval; public MyCustomField(SPFieldCollection fields, string fieldName) : base(fields, fieldName) { } public MyCustomField(SPFieldCollection fields, string typeName, string displayName) : base(fields, typeName, displayName) { } public override void Update() { // I can see any updated value here propval = GetCustomProperty("MyCustomProp") as string; base.Update(); } public override Type FieldValueType { get { return typeof (string); } } } What can I do to see the correct custom property values in my "Change Column" page (FldEditEx.aspx) in my SharePoint app? A: There is a well known issue with saving and retrieving custom properties on a custom field type. Here is a direct link to the work around. btw, some of the comments on the post purport the same problem.

Asian gangs in Garden Grove, California The City of Garden Grove was first claimed for Spain as part of the Santa Ana Valley discovered by Gaspar de Portola in 1769. It changed hands as a province during the independence of Mexico in 1822 to becoming a territory of the United States as a concession at the Mexican-American War signing of the 1848 Guadalupe Hidalgo treaty. Alonzo Cook is credited as the city’s founding father when we bought 160 acres of land, donating an open tract for the first schoolhouse and post office, suggesting the name “Garden Grove” for the grassy plain and planting trees to make it beautiful. Its farming community remained through the 1905 slew of settlers brought in on the Pacific Electric Railroad until the population boom of servicemen coming back from World War II necessitated its incorporation as a city in 1956. The population of Garden Grove is estimated at 173,067 in 2008, the per capita income at $20,022 and median household income at $59, 981 in 2005 and 2006 respectively. The 2009 population was 39.1% Hispanic/Latino, 31.1% Asian/Pacific Islander, 26.5% White. I dont know about all that. but i be hearing TRG be making alot of noise in the city lately. they kidnap a rival gang member recently. I use to know one of them in school back in the 90s.

VBZ (TVB) is only in Westminster but they’re not the real VBZ, they have a lot of fakes as well and they dress like skaters i also heard they hang out with there enemies (DFJ and NFJ) what has the gangbanging scene turned in to…I grew up in the 90’s with Cheap Boys and Natoma Boys…those were the days. I was the only viet in Los anglees county they called me viet Chong. It’s majority chinese the 13 cities of outer la county and then koreans have 5-7 cities . Viets have Westminster. The chinese mafia triads control LA they taxed my family for speaking viet . And made me now down to the triads for having dark skin and looking so viet. They also slapped my sister were the only viet family in Arcadia another chinese majority city in LA . Chinese gangs and koreans really bang hard and hate on viets dude no joke. I grew up in the 90’s also man and it was hella different. The Asian gang scene will never be the same. Of course that’s a good thing. I’m not complaining. I just laugh some times when I see how some of the younger fools are doing it. There’s no one there to put them in check. Like there’s no leadership. Most of these newbies don’t even know what they’re fighting for. Another set I forgot to mention in Anaheim is ABC. And just like the other Asian gangs there they probably aren’t really active. Few Gangs that are still around in Orange County as of now: Asian BoyZ Asian Gang Dragon Family H-Group HellSide Gang Nip Family Oriental PlayBoys Power Of Vietnam Tiny Vietnamese BoyZ Tiny Rascal Gang Tiny Oriental Posse Vietnamese Together Orale holmes. We spray them chinos like flower gardens bcause we know how to handle plants holmes. We pluck them and we smash them because we’re so f#@$king hard. We did for the big homies because they’re so hard la emme style holmes. The raza is the best raza holmes.ill jump the border to stop your momma holmes. Dam chinos stole my bike and kicked my dog holmes. Its on note ese The 14 k and wahching control and tax the chino gangs in LA they have green light on all vietnamese like how la eme has green light on all salvaodrians the 14 k came from China is the main cartel triad of LA controlling even the wahching mafia . Viet gangs in oc are green lighted by wAhching. But majority of wAhching is locked up now. The 6 different sets. Los Angeles county is majority chinese then koreans. Back in day any viet would get slapped or taxes or have to bow down to the chinese dailos triad leaders. I barely survived. It’s majority : wahching , red door mafia , four seas mafia, United bamboo triads. Such as sun yee on and 14 k from China. This viet kid was speaking viet and they made him bow down and was shot in the head. Anyone been in Los angeles county before the 626 valley ? All chinese people there I was the only viet there . Yall talk about Asian gangs like y’all know the business. Come to prison and all that sh*% don’t mean a dam thing. In the end, Asians and Islanders stand together against all other races in here. Makes u think wtf is all the gang banging good for when your enemy on the streets is your closest ally n prison Yeah big family is inactive now I use to hangout with BFJ at Murdy Park as a little kid with my family. Some are locked up. As far as i know one of them gets out soon in 2014. They’re cool with DF AF im not sure bout enemies Can I join power of viet. I grew up in Los angeles there’s not one single viet there the viets would get jumped Ans taxed for looking or speaking viet. It’s majority – wahching mafia , four seas mafia, red door mafia , United bamboo triad of China . Email me thanks i never heard about that sh*% homie. but the A got nothing but wannabe rich kids who kick it with enemies, i remember when i got put on it was all about the family sh*% nowadays these kids get put on cause they want the status or protection… times changed tho its 2012 people needa get their head outta the gutta

Take it away, Michael Bluth! Toddler-faced supermodel (yes ladies, it hurt me to type that) and shameless money hunter Miranda Kerr was the subject of a knock-down, drag-out brawl in the middle of the street on Sunday. According to The Daily Mail, the fight happened outside the home of one of Kerr’s current fuck pieces, billionaire businessman and amateur Shrek impersonator James Packer. It all started when James’s best friend since childhood, billionaire businessman David Gyngell, showed up at his house in Sydney to confront him over his decision to leave his wife of nearly 7 years for the billionaire bloodhound. The two started arguing, which naturally turned into punching, then full-on fighting on the front lawn in their sweatpants. Thank god there was a pap lurking nearby in the bushes, because The Daily Mail has some truly beautiful pictures of those two middle-aged rich assholes rassling around like children. Eventually the two were pulled apart by bodyguards and were each fined $500 by police for ‘offensive behavior’. I know these two dudes have enough money to buy all of us 6 times over, but fighting in your sweatpants on your front lawn is the definition of TRASH. And all because James wanted to remove his married dick from his wife and stick it in Miranda Kerr? Good lord. By the way, Florida would like a word with you, James and David. Showing up at your best friend’s house on a Sunday afternoon in a pair of sweatpants and kicking their ass on the front lawn over a girl who makes a living taking pictures in her underwear is kind of their thing.

"We just have our guns out because we're gonna go look for Sophia." "Before you do that, I could use your help with something." "Count me in." "Thank you, but I just need Rick." "I'll be down at the barn keeping watch until you're ready." " I thought he was dead." " Shane, I don't..." "Then when he came back, right then, right there, you see I wished he was." "Not... not because you wouldn't be mine, but because I knew that sooner or later he would be dead." "See Rick, he ain't built for this world, not for what it is now." "You're wrong." "You're wrong." "Lori, how many times has he saved your life?" "I want to know how many times." "Because by my count," "I've saved your life on four different occasions." "And that's Carl's, too." "So I just want to ask you, how many times has Rick saved your life?" "That night at the camp." "That night at the camp after the fish fry." "No, no, no." "See, no." "That was me, too." "You see, Rick, he showed up late because he went on a suicide mission over nothing." "Yeah, he joined in, but, see, we wouldn't have been in that situation if he hadn't left because he felt that he needed to leave to save a drug dealer." "And so we lost Amy and we lost Jim." "We lost..." "Rick told me." "Told you what?" "And I know the reason why you didn't is because you know it's mine." " It's Rick's." " Okay." "You know, we carried on quite a bit before Rick got back, Lori." "It's mine." "You know it is." "You're wrong." "You're wrong." "I'm sorry." "Shane, I'm sorry." "But even if it's yours, it's not gonna be yours." "It's never gonna be yours and there's nothing you can do to change that." "I don't need to." "Hey, Shane." "Can I talk to you for a second?" "You okay?" "Yeah." "I know you think that Sophia's dead and that we should stop looking for her." " But that's bullshit." " Hey, man, watch your mouth." "We're gonna stay here until we find her." "You think that's what we should do?" "It's what I know we should do." "Then we stay." "That means we got to do whatever we got to do to make that happen." " Hmm?" " Like help out with chores?" "Mmm." "Like help out with the chores." "Lori:" "Carl." "Come here for a minute." "Why don't you go see what your mom wants?" "Hmm?" "Go on." "Hey, Carl." "Don't let me hear you talk like that again." "Glenn:" "S'up?" "Son of a bitch." "You see where he went?" " Who?" " Don't even try to shit me, okay?" " What?" " Dale, Glenn." "Did you see where Dale went?" "Yeah, he asked me to run and get him some water." "He said he'd cover me on watch." "And he was gone when you got back, huh?" "Yeah." " You think he's okay?" " Oh, he's fine." "Why'd he bail then?" "So you wouldn't tell me which way he went." "I don't get it." "No, man, you don't." "The silt on the bottom is like glue." "You just sink in." "( Walkers growling )" "That's Lou Bush." "You knew him?" "Lou as in Louise." "She has a farm up the road." "Sweet corn mostly." "Worked at Hatlin's Bar on weekends."

"There are people out there who haven't been in their right minds, people who I believe can be restored." "You're not talking about the walkers, are you?" "It doesn't matter if you see them as human beings anymore." "But if you and your people are going to stay here, that's how you're gonna have to treat them." "My farm, my barn, my say."

"Unless, well, you do have that rifle over your shoulder." "You gonna shoot me like you did Otis?" "Tell another story?" "( Chuckles ) No, man." "Hell, when you really look at it in the cold light of day, you're pretty much dead already." "Just give me the guns." "Do it now." "You think this is gonna keep us safe?" "Mm-hmm." "I know it is." "Rick is trying to get Hershel..." "Dale, shut up." "Just shut up and give me the guns." "Am I gonna have to shoot you?" "Do I have to kill you?" "Ls that what it's gonna take?" "( Chuckles )" "Eh." "Yeah." "That's what it's gonna take." "This is where you belong, Shane." "How's that, Dale?" "This world, what it is now, this is where you belong." "And I may not have what it takes to last for long, but that's okay." "'Cause at least I can say when the world goes to shit" "I didn't let it take me down with it." "Fair enough."

"Where's Dale?" " He's on his way." " Thought we couldn't carry." "We can and we have to." "Look, it was one thing sitting around here picking daisies when we thought this place was supposed to be safe." "But now we know it ain't." "How about you, man?" "You gonna protect yours?" "That's it." "Can you shoot?" "Can you stop?" "You do this, you hand out these guns, my dad will make you leave tonight." " We have to stay, Shane." " What is this?" "We ain't going anywhere, okay?" "Now look, Hershel, he's just gotta understand." "Okay?" "He..." "well, he's gonna have to." "Now we need to find Sophia." "Am I right?" "Huh?" "Now I want you to take this." "You take it, Carl, and you keep your mother safe." "You do whatever it takes." "You know how." "Go on, take the gun and do it." "Rick said no guns." "This is not your call."

For just the second time in our What the Hell Happened To segment, we feature a player who sported a mullet (Dwayne Schintzius was the first). As a fellow-Tarheel, Michael Jordan wanted him. The hell with Jerry Krause and picking Horace Grant, why didn't you pick Wolf? Perhaps it was a preview of MJ's ineptness as a future general manager, but it's true: Michael Jordan wanted Joe Wolf to be selected over Horace Grant in the 1987 Draft. The Bulls didn't listen and opted for Grant at pick #10. Wolf slid to the 13th pick, selected by the Clippers. We all know who had the better career. Let's watch draft night and the Wolf pick: Wolf's career went a similar path as that of Mark Bryant in that his longest stint with any team was his first team, and then he became a journeyman. [This trend makes sense; the team that drafts a guy gives him several years to see if he pans out and can play. What's that you say? Billups and Johnson? Oh right, unless your Chauncey Billups and Joe Johnson and this asshole is your general manager.] He spent his first 3 seasons with the Clippers before movin onto Denver for 2 years. He'd be released by the Nuggets in September of 92 and signed with the Celtics in early October. I don't recall either of the 2 games Joe played for the Celtics. He wore #42 and in the two games played 9 minutes. 0-1 from the field, 1-2 from the foul line, 3 rebounds, 2 turnovers, 2 fouls. Joe Wolf's career as a Celtic was over although a part of me vaguely recalls him showing up on a Celtics summer league team in '92 or '93 at the Westchester County Center in NY. His NBA career wasn't over however. He'd go on to play for the Blazers, the Hornets, the Magic, Bucks, back to the Nuggets and back with the Hornets, where he remained until 1999. Time to flash back to Zander Hollander's Complete Pro Basketball Scouting Reports, everything a young adolescent who doesn't get to watch games all over the country needs to assess how good or bad a guy is: Working his way back...Cartilage damage in his right knee wiped out half his rookie season and last year was still not at full strength...Needs to improve his shot and become more aggressive on the boards...His soft touch and confidence at long distance seemed a bonus in a player his size at North Carolina where he had shot .571 and averaged 15.2 ppg as a senior for Dean Smith...But he can't shoot over people as easily in the pros and still seems reluctant to power the ball to the hoop...Will never do anything spectacular but could still be a key reserve on a good team...Comes from a ballplaying family...Brother Jim played on some great Penn teams at Penn in the 1970s...Brother John and Jeff also played in college. One line really sticks out there for me, and it's the one I bolded. Had I written this for Joe Wolf early on in his career, I would've thought the same possibilities. It's tough to put a finger on Wolf's game. I certainly saw him play enough to come to my own conclusions. Sometimes I thought he was the max of what Tyler Hansborough would become. Other times, I thought he was closer to Pete Chilcutt. Or maybe about the same as JR Reid. He played 11 NBA seasons and appeared in just 14 playoff games, so maybe he was unlucky and never caught the right team or system to be a part of. He was a pretty average, run-of-the-mill player. But a guy that sticks around that long has to have something going for him. Like Greg Minor and Jay Humphries, Joe was involved in the D-League a few years ago as the head coach for the Colorado 14ers. This past season Joe was an assistant coach for the Bucks. He lives in Wisconsin with his wife Jill.

Prada has released an apologetic statement after being accused of using blackface imagery on products in a new collection. On Thursday 13 December, lawyer Chinyere Ezie spotted figurines in the Prada shop window in Soho, New York that bore a resemblance to racist depictions of black people, with dark skin and large, red lips. She expressed her disgust on social media, sharing photos of the figures from the Italian fashion house’s window display and from within the store. “Today after returning to NYC after a very emotional visit to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American history and Culture including an exhibit on blackface, I walked past Prada’s Soho storefront only to be confronted with the very same racist and denigrating #blackface imagery,” she wrote on Facebook. She explained that she then entered the store with a colleague, only to see several more examples of blackface. When she asked a Prada employee whether they were aware of the issue, they informed her that “a black employee had previously complained about blackface at Prada, but he didn’t work there anymore.” Ezie implored others to share the photos using the hashtags “#StopBlackface”, “#BoycottPrada” and “#EndRacismNow”, many of whom did on Twitter. “Have you all lost your minds? Are you all that ignorant of the blatant racist display in your store right now?!” one person wrote. "How many times does a black child's heart have to get broken in this culture?,” another person commented. “How does a black parent walking with their daughter or son explain these images? Or a white parent for that matter?" Ezie added that this controversy would likely have never occurred if Prada had a more diverse workforce, tweeting: “Let @Prada know that #diversitymatters and that black and brown employees need to be in leadership positions so disgraces like this one never happen again #Stopblackface #EndRacismNow.” Prada has since issued an apology, explaining that the products in question are going to be removed from the brand’s fantasy “Pradamalia” collection. “#Prada Group abhors racist imagery,” the statement reads on Twitter. “The Pradamalia are fantasy charms composed of elements of the Prada oeuvre. They are imaginary creatures not intended to have any reference to the real world and certainly not blackface. “#Prada Group never had the intention of offending anyone and we abhor all forms of racism and racist imagery. “In this interest we will withdraw the characters in question from display and circulation.” One person responded to Prada’s apology explaining that it was unfathomable that no one in the company had noticed the reference to blackface. “Of course it’s a reference to blackface. It’s like someone looked up blackface and copied every single picture associated with it,” they wrote.

Essential oil composition and antibacterial activity of Lindera nacusua (D. Don) Merr. This study represents the first report on the chemical composition and biological activity of the essential oils from the leaves of Lindera nacusua (D. Don) Merr. Twenty-two compounds were identified and quantified, and the major components of the oil were Caryophyllene oxide (8.79%), Hexahydrofarnesyl acetone (6.83%), β-Selinene (5.02%), Neophytadiene (4.53%), Palmitic acid (4.42%), Phytol (4.36%), α-Copaene (3.89%), 4a,5,8,8a-β-Tetrahydro-2,4,5-trimethyl-1,4-naphthalindione (3.83%), α-Cadinol (3.17%), Bulnesol (2.65%) and 1,4-Dimethyl-7-(1-methylethyl) azulene (2.38%). The in vitro antibacterial activities of the essential oils were evaluated by the disc diffusion method. The inhibition zones against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans were 23.7 and 23 mm. So the essential oil of L. nacusua showed potent antibacterial activity and potential high selectivity against S. aureus and C. albicans.

Thoughts from a Part-Core Gamer Where no Stubborn has Gone Before First, I want to draw attention to Navi’s Anti-Asshat Week. I fully support this initiative! She decided to invoke this week of social justice because of a horrible event that happened to her friend Genowen. The community has been consistently reduced to trolls and jerks because of the silence of the rest of us. Is it more trouble to stand up for what’s right? Sure is. Is it more emotionally draining than just shutting down and ignoring it? I have no doubt. Is it still the right thing to do? You bet your ass it is! So this week, if you see someone behaving badly, politely point it out. If it stops, great! If it escalates, don the fiery armor of righteous indignation and shut the asshats down by any means necessary. Our very digital culture has been threatened by those who would verbally abuse others. Evil thrives where good people fail to act. Now, back to your regularly scheduled post. I had a beautiful moment the other day in Kun Lai. I was running around on my shaman with my wife, leveling, doing quests, meeting the Grummle, finding Anduin, etcetera. I’ve really been enjoying sticking my nose in little nooks, looking for the scrolls that are hidden around the land. I’ve liked that Blizzard did something to encourage some type of exploration. Of course, the response I’ve seen in guild is people getting achievement after achievement, clearly following some guide and just scooping them all up, but hey, to each their own. I was climbing a mountain to find some dude when I noticed a small, unmarked trail that seemed to keep leading up to the summit. Sure enough, as I followed it, I found myself at the top with a shrine to some Brew Fellow. It was a nice moment, an exploration success. Then, as I turned to go back down, I misstepped and fell. I didn’t die immediately, but it soon became apparent that the mountainside was littered with mobs and I, in my weakened state, didn’t have many options. I went on a course of healing, running, fighting, dropping, and so forth again until finally it was too much and I died. I couldn’t get back to my body. I attempted to go all the way around and back up the mountain, but I simply couldn’t figure out the course I took to get back to my grave. I couldn’t climb directly to it, as it was behind the Dooker Dome, and I couldn’t figure out how to go all the way around and drop to it without missing it. I couldn’t rez. To avoid this in Wrath, when you died in areas with a lot of elevation differentials, you got a spirit griffon to get to your body. It was an inelegant solution to a problem, but at least there was a solution. I don’t know why there wasn’t a similar mechanic in play here. It’s a minor thing, I know, to take rez sickness, but it really, really irritated me. Here’s Blizz offering up a new course of adventuring, a chance to explore, and my reward for DARING to do it before I could fly was 10 minutes of uselessness. i’ve never understood the limitations of rez sickness; if you want to penalize my xp through a direct reduction or a slowing of xp gain, fine. If you want to break all my gear, fine. But to reduce my stats and damage by 75% is ludicrous. Maybe that was a “penalty” at 60, but it’s essentially a 10 minute time-out at 89. If I’d just waited a level, of course, I could just fly around. But that’s not REALLY exploring, is it? The point of that little trail was to encourage people on ground mounts to go see what’s up there. One misstep, though, and you get to spend 20 minutes trying to get to your body only to then get to spend 10 minutes doing nothing. I lost a half hour of play – and my wife did, too, since she was waiting on me – because I wanted to see what was at the top of a mountain and I made a tiny movement in the wrong direction. That’s not an incentive to explore; that’s an incentive to go level in dungeons. So it was a minor thing, and I got over it pretty quickly, but it left a slightly sour after taste in my mouth towards this two-faced gesture of exploration that Blizz put forth. Sure, go explore, but prepare to get screwed if you make a tiny mistake. Or course, you can just wait until you can fly and then go look up guides to grind through it as fast as possible. Sincerely, Stubborn (and wishing he had slow fall) Like this: LikeLoading... Related Does WoW have a “block by account” option? If not, that seems like a good way to reduce the amount of ignores and overall harassment that could take place. I read that the asshats were rolling new characters simply to continue the harassment. I don’t think that coding the ignore function to work by overall account versus character name would be that difficult. *shrug* Yet another reason I don’t do a whole lot of online gaming. Ignorance may be bliss, but it annoys the piss out of me. And, like you, I don’t remain quiet and meek about it. To my chagrin. And overall amusement. You’d think it would, but Blizz really goes out of their way to protect trolls and scumbags. The penalty “volcano” has been discussed here before, which has incremental steps of wrist-slapping that only a true moron would be able to scale without first learning their lesson. Numerically, I believe, people get seven “no’s” before their banned. Seven. Ridiculous. Additionally, from Gen’s story, it seems it took her two hours on the phone before this player was stopped, and we don’t know – because Blizz has a cloak of secrecy around it – whether there was an actual punishment or just some sort of verbal warning that stuck. Good people have to spend 2 hours on a phone to get Blizz to do something about a jerk who’s been spreading bile for a week. Insanity! You still playing MtGO? I’ve felt bored recently when I’m on my own (I don’t play WoW alone right now) and was thinking of dusting that monster off. It’s been a while since I last commented, but rest assured that I have been following closely. Thanks for bringing to my attention Navi’s initiative and her (his? Navi was certainly a female fairy, so…) blog. These past few weeks, I finally got around to levelling my prot warrior with the disc priest of my bf. Through LFD. After every dungeon, I would be fuming through my nostrils like a treasure-ridden dragon. It always starts with the discomforting absence of an initial greeting, despite me and my boyfriend’s polite welcome. It bespeaks of a consideration of your fellow players as bots. I, being a skinner, usually take a few seconds to loot my leather if we have killed any beasts. I can guarantee that there will be one person pulling ahead. I don’t go to their rescue, entreat them to wait upon me. Sometimes it is not repeated, but most of the time it ends up in someone dying. And not very seldom it ends up in bully-like behaviour. Oh, Hell hath no fury like a tank scorned. But, funny enough, I get some weird kick out of righteously stomping around. I guess that I would have made a great paladin if Warcraft was the real world. On the subject of exploration: Oh, Pandaria is lush and full of little gems indeed. I love stumbling across lootable objects that yield expensive grey vendor items. It feels like being a D&D adventurer who finds a bag full of “useless” jewelry in a lich’s dungeon. Don’t give it the exploration up just yet because of your incident. Roam around the questless villages and inns and savour the folklore of Pandaria. Much better if there are no pandas around – silly joke-race from a bonus mission in Warcraft III. Glad to have you back! First of all, “fuming through my nostrils like a treasure-ridden dragon” is fantastic. Just wanted to point that out. Yes, one of the reasons I don’t want to tank or heal any more is the increased visibility in an LFD group. Like I said in an earlier post, the “gogogogoers” aren’t talking to me any more, and while it still irritates me, it’s not my problem. I’m tired of carrying jerks around through my tanking or healing (and my wife’s vice versa, as well), and just dpsing means that I’m not. I can just support whoever’s right if things escalate (luckily, they didn’t in the one dungeon I’ve done) without feeling the need to stop pulling (which caused me plenty of grief) or letting someone die from lack of healing. Omg my name is in this post! Thank you for encouraging people to stand up against asshats! Now the unable to get to your body when dying on a cliff irks me to no end. I did it the other day and I had to get guildies to fly out and Rez me. I mean I understand the need for Rez sickness but surely I should be allowed to fly if I’m dead, especially if i have the skill in life? You can make me fly at the same speed as I walk to keep some sort of penalty… but if I had no friends to rez me them it would have been a very frustrating and expensive venture indeed. Yes, I wasn’t happy about the situation, and doubly so because I sometimes complain about having to wait on my wife run way off and pull several mobs for a single gathering node, and now she was waiting on me a half hour because I took a misstep. I’m a little disappointed in Blizz for this, but only a little, and only in this one way. I’ve managed to find two areas that couldn’t be reached after ‘environmental accidents’. The first was irking, as I managed to not position properly and was punted off a cliff. The other was infuriating as my mount simply vanished while flying. No warning, no button pushing by me, and it wasn’t a dismount zone. That was bugged, of course, but per the excellent Blizzard feedback system I’ve no idea if it was even received. The more serious subject is, unfortunately, beyond player control. Someone at Blizzard seems to have calculated that the cost in staff and lost subscriptions to enforce decency rules is higher than the occasional lost subscription from the harassed. Yes, the Blues talk it up in the forum that they are on the side of goodness but really: who has ever been banned? The only people I can think of broke the NDA for TBC or Wrath. Yes, the sad fact is that dollar > decency, and Blizz has made that clear from the ground up. I’ll avoid a long-winded rant (for once), but my stance is well known. The penalty volcano is a joke, and good people having to spend 2 hours of their own time to protect themselves is really unacceptable. I agree. It does feel lonely at times because there’s a lot of backlash against standing up to people. Several times people have suggested I should just keep my head down and go along to get along, but I just can’t abide by that any more. It’s bittersweet to know others out there feel the same, bitter because I wouldn’t wish this battle against jerkdom and apathy on anyone, but sweet to know I’m not alone. Yes, I certainly hope this is something Blizzard decides to look into; I don’t remember a time in Stormpeaks where you couldn’t fly, but maybe they plan to address this in a future patch. Thanks for the comment! Thanks for the headsup about the Anti-Asshat Week; reading Navi’s post prompted me to write a post of my own that’s been brewing in my head for a while. Ultimately, I’m not sure that much can be done to save the WoW community from toxicity, not when Blizzard is so incredibly apathetic about enforcing even minimum standards of behaviour — and that’s exacerbated by the fact that they’ve now set a precedent of apathy on the issue, so if they *did* want to start taking action, they’d face massive blowback from offenders who were suddenly being hauled up on stuff they’d previously got away with for years. That kind of player reaction can be spun into some pretty bad press, even if the players brought it on themselves. I’m heartened, though, that the new/next generation of games seem to have devs who are aware of the importance of protecting their community atmosphere from scratch. Hopefully they’re learning from Blizzard’s mistakes. Connecting other bloggers with one another is something I really like to do. I’m glad you found her post engaging, even if it was on a frustrating level in regards to what happened to her friend. I agree, honestly. I’m all for pushing back sometimes, like during an “anti-asshat week,” but I think the reality is that Blizz gave up the keys to the castle a long, long time ago. Now they only deal with the most public infractions, like famous guilds running LFR over and over or harassing a player. It’s a shame, really, because Azeroth is such a nice place to spend time; too bad its citizens can be such dicks. I hope you’re right about the next generation; I haven’t seen much in the way of that from TSW or GW2. Perhaps I’m just not seeing it, of course, but there were plenty of jerks there, too, that i saw little happen to. Glad you enjoyed :) I’m surprised you didn’t hear about all the ArenaNet GW2 bannings (and subsequent Reddit brouhaha), as they made quite a stir when they happened. Unfortunately I’m not sure if they’ve made as much impact on the community as one might have hoped; there are a heck of a lot of jerks in GW2, at least in my experience. Still, at least ArenaNet has made a public and early commitment to doing the right thing, which is an essential step. I agree tha there’s precious little the designers can really do about the problem, but by making a public statement that they oppose it and do punish it, they empower the players to stand up for what’s right because they know the devs have their back. WoW does the opposite; it makes good players feel like outsiders in their own game, causing far more head-ducking and cowering before jerks.

Q: NativeScript StackLayout Problems - How do set percentages to width and height? I am trying to design a simple layout, using STACKLAYOUT. I want the layout to be four sections, as in the following crudely made image: 1 , the header will be 75px height, 100% width. 2 , the footer also 75px, 100% width 3 #4, both these will be 50% of the remaining space. My Non-Functioning Code <StackLayout orientation="vertical" width="100%" height="50%" backgroundColor="lightgray"> <Label text="Label 1" backgroundColor="red" horizontalAlignment="stretch" height="75"/> <Label text="Label 3" backgroundColor="green" /> <Label text="Label 4" backgroundColor="blue" /> <Label text="Label 2" height="75" backgroundColor="yellow" horizontalAlignment="stretch" /> </StackLayout> So, to clarify, I want the header at top, footer at bottom, and the remaining middle space equally divided. Can anyone help me out please? I have tried so many combinations of the above code, and still it never displays properly. Thanks for checking out this question. John A: I would suggest to go with GridLayout here, you really don't want to stack the items but split the space accordingly for all items, so try <GridLayout rows="75,*,*,75" backgroundColor="lightgray"> <Label row="0" text="Label 1" backgroundColor="red" /> <Label row="1" text="Label 3" backgroundColor="green" /> <Label row="2" text="Label 4" backgroundColor="blue" /> <Label row="3" text="Label 2" backgroundColor="yellow" /> </GridLayout>

[Experiments with sausage meat on the formation of N epsilon-carboxymethyllysine]. In model experiments the influence of ingredients normally used for sausage production to a meat homogenate on the formation of N epsilon-carboxymethyllysine (CML) was investigated. The formation of CML is obviously more promoted from the reaction of ascorbate with lysine than from that of glucose with lysine. The addition of ascorbate in a practical concentration yielded 35 mg, the addition of glucose only 23 mg compared to 17 mg CML/kg protein in the control sample. The addition of diphosphate in a practical concentration besides glucose significantly increased the CML values from 23 mg to 30 mg CML/kg protein. On the other hand, nitrite did not enhance the formation of CML (21 mg/kg protein) in the sausage when used in concentrations usually applied in meat processing. Generally the values found in the meat products are quite low compared to data in other foods like milk products.

(Armed with cloud) Amazon’s Silk joins the browser wars At its highly anticipated Kindle Fire launch, Amazon also took the wraps off its own browser, Amazon Silk, which relies both on the Kindle Fire end point and Amazon’s EC2 cloud to promise a much faster user experience. “The biggest differentiator for our browser is the fact that it’s split between what runs on your device and what runs in our cloud,” said Peter Vosshall, an Amazon distinguished engineer, on the video announcing Silk. The Kindle Fire acts as a small store for commonly used files, but “we’ve extended that with the Amazon computing cloud to offer a virtually limitless cache for the common files images, cascading style sheets, JavaScripts that are used to render the web pages you use every day . . . that’s all atop Amazon computing utility systems so it doesn’t take a single byte of storage from the device itself,” Joe Jenkins, the director of software development for Amazon Silk, said on the video. Silk also reads a user’s mind, anticipating from “aggregate usage data” what page someone is likely to click on next, and it starts the download accordingly. Small tablet devices were not built to crunch massive numbers, but Amazon says if they are coupled with cloud-based services, things get interesting. “If you add the capabilities of our cloud services — EC2 instances with 68 gigs of RAM, 8 cores, just sitting on this massive optical network, you can take the work off and still get that great form factor and experience of the Kindle Fire but with all this power behind it,” said Brett Taylor, the principal product manager for Silk. Not everyone is buying that the split browser technology is really unique to Amazon, however. Several commenters on Amazon’s YouTube announcement said that Opera has had similar capabilities for some time, although Opera doesn’t have a humongous Amazon-like backend infrastructure at its disposal.

This invention relates to the sequencing of fluorescence labeled DNA and the detecting of the DNA after irradiation by light from a laser. In one class of techniques for sequencing DNA, identical strands of DNA are marked with fluorescent dye. The strands are marked by attaching specially synthesized fluorescent oligonucleotide primers to the strands of DNA. The strands are separated into four aliquots. The strands in a given aliquot are either individually cleaved at or synthesized to any base belonging to only one of the four base types, which are adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine (hereinafter A, G, C and T). The adenine-, guanine-, cytosine- and thymine- terminated strands are then electrophoresed for separation and the separated strands are irradiated by a laser and the emission detected. The rate of electrophoresis indicates the DNA sequence. In a prior art sequencing technique of this class, the fluorescent dyes used as markers have their maximum emission spectra in the visible range, the DNA is subject to irradiation in the visible spectra, and visible spectra detectors and light sources are used. Generally photomultiplier tubes are used for detection. The prior art techniques for DNA sequencing have several disadvantages such as: (1) because the dyes have their emission spectra in the visible light spectrum, the lasers used to excite the fluorescent markers and, under some circumstances, the detectors for the light tend to be expensive, such as for example, relatively large and expensive lasers are needed under some circumstances; and (2) they are relatively noisy.

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION NOV 17 2009 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT BENJAMIN D. WINIG, on Behalf of No. 08-17073 Himself and All Others Similarly Situated, D.C. No. 3:06-cv-04297-MMC Plaintiff - Appellant, v. MEMORANDUM * CINGULAR WIRELESS, LLC; et al., Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California Maxine M. Chesney, District Judge, Presiding Argued and Submitted November 6, 2009 San Francisco, California Before: B. FLETCHER, CANBY, and GRABER, Circuit Judges. Plaintiff Benjamin D. Winig appeals from a district court order granting summary judgment in favor of Defendants Cingular Wireless, LLC; AT&T Mobility, LLC; and AT&T Mobility Corporation. We review the district court’s grant of summary judgment de novo and will reverse if we determine that there is a * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. genuine issue of material fact for trial. See W. States Med. Ctr. v. Shalala, 238 F.3d 1090, 1093 (9th Cir. 2001). Winig argues primarily that Defendants breached their contract with him by failing to treat his calls to check his voicemail as “mobile-to-mobile” calls. In relevant part, the contract provides that mobile-to-mobile calls are “[c]alls to and from other local Cingular customers” and that mobile-to-mobile minutes “may be used when directly dialing or receiving calls from any other Cingular phone number.” It further provides that voicemail calls constitute “airtime” or “Chargeable Time.” The district court correctly granted summary judgment to Defendants on Winig’s breach of contract claim. It is clear that voicemail calls constitute “airtime” and may, as a general matter, be billed to subscribers. It is further clear that voicemail calls do not fall under the definition of mobile-to-mobile calls, notwithstanding the existence of a behind-the-scenes technical process that routes voicemail calls through a Cingular “pilot number.” Reading the contract as a whole, with each provision helping to interpret the others, and giving words their ordinary meaning, see Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1641, 1644, we find that the contract’s two treatments of “mobile-to-mobile” are easily harmonized. The natural reading of these provisions is that mobile-to-mobile minutes apply to calls from one 2 Cingular customer’s mobile telephone to another Cingular customer’s mobile telephone. The contract is not reasonably susceptible to Winig’s proposed interpretation that mobile-to-mobile calls include calls that are to another Cingular number only because of the technical routing of the calls through a pilot number. See Northrop Grumman Corp. v. Factory Mut. Ins. Co., 563 F.3d 777, 783 (9th Cir. 2009); Cedars-Sinai Med. Ctr. v. Shewry, 41 Cal. Rptr. 3d 48, 60 (Ct. App. 2006). The remainder of Winig’s claims are premised on the same proposed interpretation of the contract that we have just rejected. The district court properly granted summary judgment on these claims. Winig’s remaining arguments for reversal also fail. The district court properly granted summary judgment on Winig’s Second Amended Complaint, as it was substantively identical to his First Amended Complaint. The district court also properly granted summary judgment as to Defendants AT&T Mobility, LLC and AT&T Mobility Corporation. Winig’s claims against these parties were identical to his claims against Cingular, and Winig had a full and fair opportunity to present his claims. See Columbia Steel Fabricators, Inc. v. Ahlstrom Recovery, 44 F.3d 800, 803 (9th Cir. 1995). AFFIRMED. 3 

Well, let me tell you guys, I am lucky to be alive right now. Yes, of course that is a dramatic statement. But let me tell you the story… So the other night I was home alone minding my own business…the husband took my little guys to their respective sporting activities… Anyway, I was busy baking cookies and suddenly I heard an unfamiliar cell phone ringing. FROM THE BACK OF MY HOUSE! So yeah, I got scared, convinced that an intruder had broken in and was hiding out, just waiting until my husband left to murder me… But his cell phone gave him away. I started panicking, grabbed my phone and a kitchen knife and started walking…wait for it… TOWARDS THE NOISE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? Turns out that the noise was my kid’s iPod “ringing” because he friend was face-timing him. Luckily I didn’t stab my dog or my foot in the meantime… Anyhow, the realization that I am the stupid girl who gets killed first in horror movies, is not an easy pill to swallow. I wouldn’t stand a chance against a murderer person. Luckily, though, I didn’t get killed and am here today to share these cookies with you. Theeeeesssse Buckeye Brownie Cookies. They are brownie cookies stuffed with a peanut butter ball and topped with chocolate frosting. So yeah. They are quite good. AND I made a short little video to show you how I made them! Here’s what you do… Mix up a box of brownie mix with some cream cheese, melted butter and an egg… It’ll be sticky and thick. I actually used my hands to mix it together. Then mix up some peanut butter and powdered sugar… It’ll come together like this… Form the brownie dough into balls and make an indentation in the top. Then roll the peanut butter into balls also and press those into the brownie dough… Press them down slightly. And bake them just like that… They will look kinda the same before and after baking. The cookie won’t spread too much and the peanut butter ball pretty much stays intact. Once they’re cooled, I spread some chocolate frosting on top. Here’s my recipe for Easy Fudge Frosting. That’s it. I even sprinkled a bit of flaked seas salt on top, but you don’t have to. They look pretty unassuming at first glance. But the inside is kind of magic… You need to make these. Buckeye Brownie Cookies ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4.4 from 5 reviews Print Recipe Pin Description: makes 24 cookies Ingredients: 1 box (18-19 oz) Brownie mix box (18-19 oz) Brownie mix 1/4 cup butter, melted butter, melted 1/2 cup cream cheese, room temperature cream cheese, room temperature 1 egg egg 3/4 cup peanut butter peanut butter 3/4 cup powdered sugar powdered sugar 3/4 cup chocolate frosting Instructions Preheat oven to 350° Line baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl combine brownie mix, butter, cream cheese and egg. Stir until dough comes together, it will be very thick and sticky. I used my hands. Form rounded tablespoons sized portions of dough into balls, placing on baking sheet about 2 inches apart, making an indentation with your thumb in the center of each. In another bowl stir together peanut butter and powdered sugar. Form peanut butter into teaspoon sized balls and press into the indentations in the brownie cookies. Press peanut butter down slightly because the peanut butter won’t spread and you don’t want the cookies to be too tall. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set. Transfer to wire rack to cool. When cooled top each cookie with about a tablespoon of chocolate frosting. Notes: I used my recipe for chocolate frosting, but you could also use canned frosting.

Nothing will happen to her. She’ll cry that she’s a victim, blame him for everything, lie if she has to. All the white knights and manginas will side with her, and probably he will wind up getting punished by the law. All the while these women will go on claiming they’re victims and that men are oppressing them. So sick of this ridiculous bulls~~~. I’m glad to see it though, reminds me again and again why I am MGTOW. Unlike many on here, I refuse to interact with women at all. No pump and dumps, no hanging out at bars and clubs and parties to flirt with them and inflate their egos. I keep to myself, I come and go where I need to, and am curt and civil and otherwise keep my thoughts to my self and my interactions to an absolute minimum. This woman needs to be punished harshly, but I know full well she won’t. Women have never been held accountable for anything ever in history. In order to create justice, women have to be controlled before they act out, because they always act out, take whatever they can, and then dodge accountability. It is impossible to get men to punish women for violating basic civility. There have to be universal rules to prevent them creating damage in the first place.

N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate: regional levels in rat brain and the effects of brain lesions as determined by a new HPLC method. An isocratic HPLC method to measure endogenous N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAAG) and N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA) is described. After removal of primary amines by passage of tissue extracts over AG-50 resin, the eluate was subject to HPLC anion-exchange analysis and eluted with phosphate buffer with absorbance monitored at 214 nm. The retention time for NAA was 5.6 min and for NAAG 11.4 min with a limit sensitivity of 0.1 nmol. The levels of NAA and NAAG were measured in 16 regions of rat brain and in heart and liver. NAAG was undetectable in heart and liver and exhibited 10-fold variation in concentration among brain regions; the highest levels were found in spinal cord. In contrast, low concentrations of NAA were detectable in heart and liver, and the regional distribution of NAA in brain varied only twofold. The regional distribution of NAA and NAAG correlated poorly. To assess the neuronal localization of these two compounds, the effects of selective brain lesions on their levels were examined. Decortication caused a 28% decrease in NAAG levels in the ipsilateral striatum while NAA decreased 38%. Kainate lesion of the striatum resulted in a 31% decrease in NAAG in the ipsilateral striatum, whereas NAA fell by 58%. Kainate lesion of the hippocampus resulted in significant decrements in NAAG and NAA in the hippocampus and septum. Transection of the spinal cord at midthorax resulted in a 51% decrease in NAAG levels immediately caudal and a 40% decrease immediately rostral to the lesion; however, NAA decreased only 30% in these areas. These results are consistent with a neuronal localization of NAAG in brain.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Q: Múltiplos projetos utilizando um único arquivo "properties" Tenho um produto que está distribuído em vários projetos WEB MAVEN independentes que acessam uma única base MYSQL. Decidi dividí-lo em vários projetos para que cada módulo fique em um servidor diferente, dividindo a carga. E também porque são módulos com propósitos diferentes e não fazia sentido entregar tudo em um único pacote. Ocorre que esses módulos têm algumas funcionalidades em comum e eu criei uma biblioteca com as classes comuns, de maneira que todos os projetos utilizam essa biblioteca. Da mesma maneira, cada módulo possui seu próprio arquivo *.properties. Eu gostaria de unificar esses arquivos em um único arquivo *.properties, de modo que todos os módulos pudessem acessá-lo, facilitando alterações em tempo de execução. Pensei em colocá-lo nessa biblioteca, mas continuaria com o mesmo problema, pois cada projeto tem o seu próprio JAR dessa biblioteca, além do mais, seria necessário extrair o JAR, alterar o *.properties e compactá-lo novamente, o que inviabiliza o procedimento. Existe também a possibilidade de colocar todas essas chaves numa tabela na base de dados, já que todos os módulos a acessam. Existe alguma solução mais elegante para essa situação? A: A solução básica é colocar a configuração em bancos de dados e carregar os dados na inicialização de cada aplicação. Outra possibilidade é definir um diretório de rede e ler o arquivo properties dele. Todas as máquinas (servidores) teriam que enxergar esse diretório, que pode ser mapeado para facilitar mudanças. Uma terceira opção é disponibilizar as configurações via webservice e um servidor "central" que cada aplicação consulta durante a inicialização. Para atualizar as configurações em "tempo de execução", poderia haver um timer para recarregá-las em intervalos de tempo ou mesmo uma funcionalidade específica para isso (um botão "recarregar" em algum lugar). Isso depende muitos dos requisitos de alteração, isto é, se pode haver interação do usuário e a frequência de mudanças. Quanto ao jar dessa biblioteca, infelizmente não há mágica. O Jar deve ser distribuído em cada aplicação, com ou sem o properties. Se houverem várias aplicações num mesmo servidor, um único jar pode ser importado no classpath através de uma configuração no seu servidor de aplicação. Isso evitaria a duplicação do jar numa mesma máquina. Se esse jar for frequentemente atualizado, a sua atualização poderia ser automatizada via scripts que verificam um local na rede e atualizam diretamente as libs dos sistemas publicados. Entretanto, provavelmente será necessário incluir nesse script a reinicialização das aplicações. Em geral creio ser um exagero. Nenhum módulo de configuração deve mudar tanto assim. Enfim, foram algumas ideias baseadas em requisitos abstratos. Se houver algum detalhe ou requisito mais específico sobre o seu problema, edite sua pergunta para refletir isso.

Header$type=social_icons 9 Ghanaian Celebrities Who Are Famous for No Reasonp; No3-9 Will Give You Headache 9 Ghanaian Celebrities Who Are Famous for No Reasonp; No3-9 Will Give You Headache If we are to go by a reasonable definition, a celebrity should be that person who has made a good impact or achieved a lot in a chosen field, worthy of being celebrated and has gained fame on the back of the success. But all around the world, a lot of those we know as celebrities are just famous–and mostly do not fit the above description. For instance, Kim Kardashian became a celebrity for no reason–and we hope you do not count a s*x tape as a worthy reason that should confer on her such an enviable status. Similarly, we have several people who have made forced entry into the room of celebrities in Ghana, when they really do not deserve to be there and today we are fetching them out with this post. These are the celebrities who did not work hard for their money or fame–it was handed to them on a silver platter. 1. Moesha Boduong The truth is; if you are asked to state something of importance that Moesha has done to deserve the slightest of fame she enjoys today, you wouldn’t be able to name any, even if given a century to think about it. She’s just famous for having a big ass, hips and posting racy photos on instagram. You can say, she is famous for being dumb. 2. Mona Aka Hajia4Real To think of it, most of us got to know of Mona Aka Hajia4Real when she was brutally dissed by Amanda Acquah in an audio sent to Ghanaian millionaire-Kenpong. So literally, she is famous for being dissed and for dating a rich man. From there, the instagram followers started pouring in and she shot to the ceiling on the fame radar. Today, she is an instagram celebrity… 3. Amanda Acquah Amanda’s relationships with Kenpong and Ghanaian footballer-Afriyie Acquah are not the true reasons why a lot of people know her name. She is known for scandals upon scandals, with her insulting audio to Kenpong leading the pack. She has also had two or three scandalous inappropriate materials leaking–which made her the talk of Ghana. 4. Menaye Donkor Why do we celebrate Menaye Donkor? Nothing? Don’t say because she is married to a Ghanaian footballer–because several others are married to footballers and we don’t see them anywhere in the news. Menaye Donkor has made it to the room of Ghanaian Celebrities by riding on the back of her husband and also by association with other celebrities. So she’s like a celebrity by association, a socialite.5. Princess Shyngle Princess Shyngle has made it as far as being covered by the world’s most read online news website-DailyMail. And it’s not for anything worth celebration–but her ridiculous hips got her there. The Mail Online called her “an actress, a writer and producer” and to be frank, we can’t name any of her works. Deborah Vanessa 6. Deborah Vanessa Deborah Vanessa claims to be everything; a model, actress, musician, writer, TV presenter and a producer–when in fact, she is not really any of these things. Even if she has had stints with any of the fields above, her success does not merit the sort of celebrity bandage she wears on her arms. She is riding on a free wave of fame, backed by nothing. Nana Akua Addo 7. Nana Akua Addo Nana Akua Addo has tried her hands on a few acting and producing gigs but she has not scored any success and therefore has not been able to generate attention from that sector. Yet, she wears the celebrity chain around her neck–mostly, by making glam appearances at events, all cost paid by herself. So literally, she is famous for being at every event and not for what she says she is actually involved in. I doubt you’ve seen any of her movies. Bibi Bright 8. Bibi Bright No doubt Nana Akua Addo and Bibi Bright have become enemies–they are all in desperate want of the same throne–the throne of celebrities for no reason. Bibi Bright has also tried her hands on acting and producing; nothing impressive or worth of any attention. But she has succeeded in stealing social media attention with n*de photos, fights and her ‘basaa’ English. 9. Madam Akua Donkor Madam Akua Donkor is perhaps even more popular than Ghana’s Vice President-Amissah Arthur and PPP’s Paa Kwesi Nduom. She is one of the most media covered personalities in Ghana today–but for what reason? She’s really famous or a celebrity for being empty–and that defeats the true essence of celebrity-ship. She even travels with the President on diplomatic missions… By: konkonsagh.biz | 9 Ghanaian Celebrities Who Are Famous for No Reasonp; No3-9 Will Give You Headache

No ar desde 2012, o “Encontro com Fátima Bernardes” chegou à programação matinal da Rede Globo para rivalizar com o “Hoje em Dia”, da Record TV , e os variantes da Rede TV e Band . No entanto, com o passar dos anos parece que o programa perdeu a mão. Leia também: Ludmilla comete gafes em homenagem a Dia dos Professores no "Encontro" Divulgação Confira motivos que provam que o "Encontro com Fátima Bernardes" já deu Tradicionalmente apresentado pela ex-mulher de William Bonner, o “Encontro com Fátima Bernardes” iniciou sua jornada revolucionando a televisão brasileira, colocando drag queens em horário livre, falando sobre assédio no trabalho às claras, racismo e muito mais. Leia também: Fátima Bernardes, Anitta e mais: famosos que falaram de sexo no "Encontro" Porém, antes mesmo de completar uma década de exibição, a revista eletrônica vem declinando em pontos variados e frequentemente deixando a desejar no horário matinal. Temas repetitivos Divulgação Confira motivos que provam que o "Encontro com Fátima Bernardes" já deu Levando em relação que o “Encontro” é uma atração de variedade diária, ele exige reformulação e atualização constante. No entanto, com o tempo, apenas os cenários mudaram e os temas tornaram-se repetitivos. Claro, é sempre importante, “bater na mesma tecla” e relembrar a importância dos assuntos. Porém, para se ter noção, só no ano de 2018 a atração falou sobre refugiados em janeiro, abril, setembro e outubro. Sabemos que assédio verbal ou sexual é um terror que atinge inúmeros homens e, principalmente, mulheres. Porém, dos 12 meses do ano, o programa da Globo abordou o tema seis vezes - em janeiro, maio, agosto, setembro, outubro e novembro. Temas como machismo, desconstrução social, homofobia, problemas em relacionamentos também se repetem em números similares, ora menores, ora maiores. Sem profundidade Divulgação Confira motivos que provam que o "Encontro com Fátima Bernardes" já deu É compreensível que tratando de temas delicados em um horário classificado como livre, a revista eletrônica “pise em ovos” em seu circuito de discussão. No entanto, a defasagem que alguns assuntos sofrem ao não serem abordados com profundidade dá vazão para que as pessoas o compreendam mal, ou pior, desliguem a televisão entendendo menos do assunto. Um exemplo claro disto são as múltiplas sexualidades. É necessária toda uma didática para exemplificar um pansexual, um demissexual e até o poliamor sem que tudo pareça, vulgarmente dizendo, uma “suruba”. Convidados sem propriedade Divulgação Confira motivos que provam que o "Encontro com Fátima Bernardes" já deu Falando de assuntos importantes, se você vai abordar qualquer tema em uma roda de discussão é sempre importante trazer um profissional da área, um especialista, alguém que tenha plena propriedade. Em muitas edições, o “Encontro” realmente não pecou nisso. Porém, esta realidade mudou. A variedade no corpo de especialistas, se foi uma estratégia de variar os rostos na TV ou não, não funcionou. Em uma discussão sobre relacionamento à distância, por exemplo, a especialista - em uma brincadeira formulada por Fátima - começou a ajudar a plateia. Porém, as dicas eram tão vagas e impessoais que pareciam horóscopos encontrados nos jornais impressos. Outrora, o foco era assédio no transporte público. Nesta discussão foi pior, não havia uma especialista em cena. Sem desmerecer as vítimas diárias deste abuso repugnante, muito menos as publicitárias que fomentaram o movimento de sororidade, seria mais do que interessante que uma psicóloga, por exemplo, marcasse presença para evidenciar os traumas que esta atitude masculina pode causar a uma mulher. Fátima Bernardes e a tentativa incansável de “lacrar” Divulgação Confira motivos que provam que o "Encontro com Fátima Bernardes" já deu Em seis anos de transmissão, o “Encontro” encantou os telespectadores com o vislumbre de uma âncora mostrando finalmente outra faceta. No entanto, a imagem de Fátima foi firmada como personalidade pública há muito tempo, e este brilho acabou. Leia também: Racismo e representatividade detonam polêmica no "Encontro com Fátima Bernardes" Na tentativa de “lacrar”, novidades foram acrescentadas ao “Encontro com Fátima Bernardes ”, como o quadro “TBT do Encontro”, os jogos descolados, mas pouco interessantes e, por fim, as danças forçadas da apresentadora.

Hot Hot Heat Elevator Why does it hurt so bad to like this album? I came out behind Hot Hot Heat’s 2003 slam dunk Make Up the Breakdown even stronger than most, constantly switching the disc from walkman to stereo, unwilling to separate myself from the winkingly hilarious lyrics, the ass-shaking pogo funk, and --- mother of God --- those choruses, each one a crystalline pop confection, so immediately familiar as to be drawn from the collective subconscious. I championed the album to the elitist indie snobs, the ignorant Frisbee-tossing white-hats, the photography majors I had a crush on, everyone. I paired myself with the album: like it and you and I can be friends, hate it and find someone else’s couch to pass out on. Elevator’s the major label follow-up, drawing fire from the indie rock community and tepid praise from the mainstream. It’s my commission to settle in with either camp and just write about the damn album: either shit on it or get behind it, but make up my mind and get in or get out. Here’s the thing: I can’t. Gone are guitarist Dante Decaro and Breakdown’s signature polyrhythmic Star Time! funk. These departures are significant: where the choruses have always been dominated by Steve Bays’ searing, nasal croon (alternately grating and endearing), Decaro’s jagged, buzzy riffs helped establish the dance-punk / new New Wave sound we’ve all come to know, love, and talk shit about. This puts the emphasis squarely on Bays’ melodic sensibilities, which, when firing on all cylinders, can be as infectious as Cuomo’s early days. Single “Goodnight Goodnight” is hardly two minutes, but it’s a helluva firecracker that, after a salivating, leg-humping middle eight, blasts back into the chorus accompanied by a brilliant, lilting farfisa. “You Owe Me an IOU” is even better: Bays belts the Dexy’s Midnight Runners verses over tapdancing pianos and ska guitars, and the chorus is a shit-faced Rick Springfield jukebox anthem. Somewhere in Elevator, there’s an album this consistently strong waiting to get out. But filler like “Middle of Nowhere” and “Jingle Jangle” aren’t on that album. These are the type of dramatic-but-half-baked songs that a killer riff could salvage (see Breadown’s “Talk to Me, Dance with Me”), but the back-and-forth two-tone song-closer that “Jingle Jangle” relies upon just ain’t the Monsters of Rock shit the song needs. And while “Ladies and Gentleman” moves with thumping urgency, it feels like Zeppelin playing Skynyrd: a mismatched cover of a shitty song played by a talented band. They play these tunes with vehemence, desperately searching for something that’s sadly lacking here. So why do I still like this album? Maybe it’s because, despite the fact that it’s an obvious misstep from a band that seemed bulletproof (at least until I heard the embarrassing Scenes One Through Thirteen), it’s still a strong album with a lot more charm than, say, the Bravery or the Killers. And maybe this album is irrelevant in light of the Kaiser Chiefs’ debut, which hit the same dartboard with considerably greater accuracy. And, yeah, the title track kinda sounds like Bon Jovi. But I refuse to roast an album with songs like “Shame On You,” “Island of the Honest Man” or “IOU” on it. If this is what it sounds like when your favorite band sells out, then, hell, the new New Wave might not be so bad after all.

2/28/11 "I am on a drug. It's called Charlie Sheen. It's not available because if you try it once, you will die. Your face will melt off, and your children will weep over your exploded body." Sheen described himself as superhuman, citing a "different constitution," "different brain" and "different heart" than normal people have, allowing him to survive his drug binges. "I got tiger blood, man," he said. "My brain . . . fires in a way that is - I don't know, maybe not from this particular terrestrial realm." “Charlie is missing a room, its called the OD room, where girls, you know, they’re all living in this house, if they OD they press a little button on the wall and have an in-house doctor you know, and so that no-one has to get rushed to the emergency room."--Kacey Jordan "Newsflash, I’m special. The only thing I’m addicted to right now is winning. My success rate is 100%. I was shackled and oppressed by the cult of AA for 22 years. I finally extracted myself from their troll hole and started living my life the way I want to live it. I have a disease? Bullshit. I cured it right now with my mind."--Charlie Sheen 2/24/11 "Bin Laden ... this is the enemy who is manipulating people," Gaddafi said, adding: "Do not be swayed by bin Laden. You people of Zawiyah, stop your children, take their weapons, bring them away from Bin Laden, the pills will kill them. They give them pills at night, they put hallucinatory pills in their drinks, their milk, their coffee, their Nescafe." 2/23/11 2/22/11 "The audiences who go to the movies, must be assassinated, killed, destroyed, and they must leave the theater as new people. I ask of cinema what most North Americans ask of psychedelic drugs." –Alejandro Jodorowsky 2/20/11 2/17/11 2/13/11 Although it has long been known that Sartre experienced visions of lobsters — which he sometimes referred to as crabs — Gerassi’s account offers startling new details of the philosopher’s descent into near-madness as he battled to make sense of what he had come to regard as the intellectual absurdity of his life. “Yeah, after I took mescaline I started seeing crabs around me all the time,” he says in Gerassi’s new book, Talking With Sartre. “They followed me in the streets, into class ... I would wake up in the morning and say, ‘Good morning, my little ones, how did you sleep?’ I would say, ‘Okay guys, we’re going into class now . . . ’ and they would be there, around my desk, absolutely still, until the bell rang.” Sartre was intrigued by the mind-expanding properties of the peyote cactus. His mescaline experiments started in 1935 and affected his thinking for more than a year. They proved a big influence in the writing of his 1938 novel, Nausea — now regarded as a manifesto of existentialism. Shellfish visions also featured in his 1959 play, The Condemned of Altona, in which a race of crabs sits in judgment on humanity. In between, Sartre told Gerassi, “I began to think I was going crazy.” He consulted a young psychiatrist named Jacques Lacan — who later became another of France’s foremost intellectuals — and they attributed Sartre’s crab-infested depression to his fear that he was being pigeon-holed as a teacher. “That was the worst part, to have to be serious about life,” said Sartre. “The crabs stayed with me until the day I simply decided that they bored me and I wouldn’t pay attention to them.” By then it was the 1940s, France was occupied and Sartre had other things to worry about. [Sigmund Freud's mentor] Jean-Martin Charcot was known for his sober and dispassionate nature, but his close associates also commented on his particular penchant for the bizarre, the supernatural, and grotesque. Meige recounted an anecdote from Charcot’s student days that highlights this latter characteristic and foreshadows Charcot’s interest in contorted deformities and exotic behaviors. Predating Baudelaire’s Fleurs du Mal by seven years, Charcot experimented in 1853 with smoking hashish: As soon as he was under the influence of the narcotic, a tumult of phantasmagoric visions flashed across his mind. The entire page was covered with drawings: prodigious dragons, grimacing monsters, incoherent personages who were superimposed on each other and who were intertwined and twisted in a fabulous whirlpool bringing to mind the apocalyptic conceptions of Van Bosh and Jacques Callot. 2/12/11 2/10/11 2/9/11 “Opium has been a good friend to me; it has taken away my sorrows,” Aziza said, seated in the corner of her one-room house, with her children looking on. "When I need it, it is a kind of an attack,” she said afterward. “I can’t resist the opium; it is stronger than I am.” 2/3/11 "Opium, for women who give themselves to Yves Saint Laurent" "Opium was the only name it wanted. It's a fragrance which evokes all the things I love—the refined Orient, Imperial China, exoticism. Nineteenth-century aesthetes, poets, and writers knew and understood the very release of imagination, dreams and mystery it evokes. Byron, Delacroix, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, they all understood the exotic beauty of the orient without having traveled there. If you don't have the power of imagination, you don't have anything."— Yves Saint Laurent, 1978

Aria Sky just turned 18 a few months ago & lost her virginity! She is innocent & wants to learn how to tittyfuck! This teen is an all natural good girl that is ready for her porn debut on camera! Published by bangcom Report

The lifetime of a housewife heinie be highly stressfull. The uncountable fact TV showcases is evidence sufficient. Scarlett Rose, the greatest housewife at the block, wishes a serving to arm across the palace. Her spouse does not anything to assist. He's both operating or frolicking golfing. So Scarlett desires to rent a houseman. Her advertisement attracted a bunch of candidates, cramming her week with interview after interview. To this point, nipper hasn't discovered a boy for the posture. We're questioning why. To assist in her venture, we sat in on one among her interviews. The boy sits down and nipper explains nipper wishes a boy to treat the entirety: backyard paintings, vacuuming, dishes, fucking, and so forth. All effortless sufficient. But, there may be another process her houseboy should do, if truth be told probably the most significant of the entire chores. We're pondering one thing dreadful. Teenager expects her houseboy to idolize her soles. Oh, and to lend his bone for a sole task. Teenager likes the sense of firm fuck-stick inbetween her bends and feet, after all resulting in a humungous batter of jism. That's the greatest phase. We left behind to say. Providing a sole task all over the interview is necessary. Teenager must watch if the boy is succesful sufficient. It's significant to watch if he heinie rip her tights proper, cock-squeezing sufficient grasp round her ankles, bone humungous sufficient to stroke inbetween her soles, and provides sufficient jism to wipe far and wide her feet. Let's watch if this boy will get employed.

Is load application necessary when using computed tomography scans to diagnose syndesmotic injuries? A cadaver study. Injuries to the distal tibio-fibular ligaments are common. While pronounced injuries can be reliably diagnosed using conventional radiographs, assessment of subtle syndesmotic injuries is challenging. This cadaver study determines the impact of loading on the assessment of incomplete and more complete syndesmotic injuries when using weightbearing computed tomography (CT) scans. Fourteen paired male cadavers (tibial plateau to toe-tip) were included. A radiolucent frame held specimens in a plantigrade position while both non-weightbearing and weightbearing computed tomography (CT) scans were taken. The following conditions were tested: First, intact ankles (Native) were scanned. Second, one specimen from each pair underwent anterior inferior tibio-fibular ligament (AITFL) transection (Condition 1A), while the contralateral underwent deltoid transection (Condition 1B). Third, the remaining intact deltoid or AITFL was transected from each specimen (Condition 2). Finally, the distal tibiofibular interosseous membrane (IOM) was transected in all ankles (Condition 3). Eight different measurements were performed to assess the integrity of the distal tibio-fibular syndesmosis on axial CT scans. Load application had no impact on most measurements. While incomplete syndesmotic injuries could not be identified, cadavers with more complete injuries differentiated from native ankles when assessed using axial CT images. No significant difference was evident between discrete AITFL or deltoid ligament transection. In a cadaver model, load application had no effect on the assessment of the distal tibio-fibular syndesmosis in incomplete and more complete syndesmotic injuries. Only more complete injuries of the distal tibio-fibular syndesmosis could be identified using axial CT images.

So when a creature flick comes along that is so preposterously ridiculous, so patently absurd, so monstrously unscientific ... well, we don't actually notice until years later when we need a premise for an article. But then we have no choice but to feel betrayed and scream "BULLSHIT!" at the top of our lungs. 6 The Facehugger Continue Reading Below Advertisement As seen in: Alien The Facehugger was just one of several horrific stages in the life cycle of the alien race in Alien. Basically, the thing was an octopuss-looking abortion of squirming slime, whose whole purpose was to implant the next phase of itself into a host. And it did so by facerape. It latched on to a guy's mouth and pumped its offspring down his throat, which later burst out of the poor fool's chest. Continue Reading Below Advertisement Why We Call Bullshit: What do aliens eat? Do the movies ever establish that? Well, they'd better eat the exact same damned diet as humans, since their offspring apparently have to survive on the exact same nutrients found in a human body. After all, a human embryo/fetus requires an incredibly specific set of nutrients, so much so that artificial wombs are still science fiction. And keep in mind, this species didn't evolve specifically to use humans as hosts--as far as we know, they had never encountered humans before the events of the first film. Alien tries to bullshit its way around this by saying that the Alien's DNA merges with the host; this becomes totally ridiculous when you realize that, despite sharing a good 99.9 percent of our DNA with chimps, we're still genetically incompatible with the fuckers. Since the Alien is way, way less like us than the chimp, this would be like saying a Komodo Dragon could successfully impregnate a human. Continue Reading Below Advertisement Hello, ladies. But even that analogy breaks down when you realize that the Alien was not only completely different from humans, it was completely different from every living creature on the planet. Yes, unlike carbon-based life (a.k.a. fucking everything), the Alien was a silicon-based creature: At one point in the movie, we see it replacing its exoskeleton with polarized silicon, which would be like if you replaced your skin with glass.

"You ready yet, honey?" "I'll be right down." "Good." "That'll give me another 10 minutes." "Hook this for me, will you, honey?" "Sam." "Oh, I'm sorry." "There you go." "Thanks." "How did you manage that when you were single?" "Oh, I had to use witchcraft." "It was much more dependable, but not nearly as much fun." "Honey, I'm sorry this turned into a business dinner but Larry's dying to land this account." "Mr. MacElroy's leaving town tonight." "Have I met him?" "No, but you've been in his shoes." "MacElroy Shoes." "One of the biggest in the country." "Shoes for the whole family." "And I don't mind saying myself I've come up with some pretty big ideas." "Dear, what you need is some smaller ideas, or a bigger tube." "The baby sitter isn't here yet anyway." "By the way, who is it?" "Who?" "The sitter." "Oh, Sam, you didn't." "Well, Darrin, Aunt Clara volunteered and I couldn't say no without hurting her feelings." "Besides, we have to be extra-specially nice to her right now." "She's just had a big disappointment." "She flunked the national driver's test?" "Darrin, don't be ridiculous." "Aunt Clara can barely fly, let alone drive." "No." "She's just broken up with Ocky." "Ocky?" "Octavius." "He's a warlock she used to be very fond of." "But then the old fool met a young witch, and...." "Well, you know the rest." "It's an old story." "Oh, sure, happens every day." "Old warlock runs off with a pretty young witch." "Poor old girl." "As if she didn't have enough trouble." "Okay, she can sit." "But that's all, understand?" "Yes, darling, I'll tell her." "Aunt Clara, we've got a front door, you know." "I must have let my flaps down too soon." "Good night, dear Aunt Clara, and try to cheer up, huh?" "Yeah, maybe he'll come back." "Who?" "Octavius." "No, I've forgotten him completely." "That's good, dear." "I bear him no grudge." "We won't be too late." "And he's free to do whatever he wants." "Good night, Aunt Clara." "Night." "After all, he is over 21." "Boy, is he over." "Still awake, precious?" "Aunt Clara will sing you a little lullaby." "Lullaby" "Lullaby" "Lullaby" "Lullaby and good night" "Oh, I wish" " I wish this were nearer the nursery." "It worked." "Well, you've still got it, old girl." "Mommy." "Oh, dear." "Oh, what's happening?" "Oh, stop that." "Now, that's no way for a piano to behave." "Oh, I must do something fast." "Piano, piano, that I prize" "Return to that convenient size" "Anybody" "Oh, Mrs. Kravitz." "So nice of you to drop in." "How'd that piano get up there?" "What piano?" "We got out of that one." "Now, let's get out of this one." "Just wait till you see some of Stephens' layouts for MacElroy Shoes." "Fresh, original, inventive." "Naturally, Mr. Tate made a strong contribution too." "Oh, thank you, Darrin." "That's not only very generous of you but if you hadn't said it, I'd have fired you." "About the layouts, Mr. MacElroy...?" "I'll be glad to look at them after dinner, if there's time." "Can't miss that plane, you know." "Delicious roast, Louise." "Oh, thank you." "Oh, are you finished already?" "I am too." "Me too." "Aren't you, dear?" "Oh, yes, yes." "Mr. MacElroy's through too." "Oh, Louise, I can't wait to see what you have for dessert." "Oh, you'll love it." "It's fattening, but you'll love it." "O piano black as night" "How I wish that you were light" "What happened?" "Oh, it's just probably a power failure or something." "No problem." "Keep going, keep going." "Mr. MacElroy, we'd like to present some ideas for a new slogan." "Thank you, honey." "Try this on for size." "Don't like it." "I haven't mentioned it yet." "Maybe we better postpone this until I come back to town." "No, we'll get more candles." "Louise, more candles?" "Forget the candles." "How about some more brandy?" "Louise, more brandy, more brandy." "Here you are, back where you belong." "And I did it." "I certainly don't know how." "How should we get the lights back on?" "Oh, dear." "Now, if that's Darrin and Samantha I'm through as a sitter." "A sitter?" "I'm through as an aunt." "Good evening." "Hello." "We just wanted to find out if everything was all right over here." "Oh, everything's fine." "I've been watching television." "With no electricity?" "Oh, you noticed that." "Have you got a flashlight in the house?" "Well, I really don't know." "Well, here, take this." "We have extras." "Are your lights out too?" "Oh, for the love of Pete." "The whole Eastern Seaboard is blacked out." "It is?" "What caused it?" "They don't know yet." "Well, I hope they never find out." "Excuse me a minute." "Come on, Gladys." "Good night." "Hi, Aunt Clara." "Is everything all right?" "Oh, of course, of course." "Why shouldn't it be?" "Aren't the lights out?" "They are everywhere else." "Oh, yes." "The lights are out here too." "Well, what a coincidence." "Well, I doubt if that's what the electric company's calling it." "How's Tabatha?" "She's sleeping peacefully." "Well, that's good." "I'll check later." "Aunt Clara, you sure everything's all right?" "Oh, everything's fine." "But everything's fine." "Bye-bye." "Putting the lights out in 12 states." "Could've happened to anybody." "But how am I gonna get them back on again?" "Oh, I've got to have help." "Oh, I wish Ocky were here." "Maybe I could bring him here." "I can try." "Eyes like fishes" "Nose like dishes" "Ocky." "Clara." "It worked." "Well, it worked." "Oh, I still have my touch." "Clara, my darling." "Oh, no." "Nothing like that." "No, I called you back professionally." "And then after that you can go back to your little witch." "Clara, I don't want her." "I want to come back to you." "Do you?" "You know what she did to me?" "What did she do?" "The little gold digger, "Give me this." "Give me that."" "Grab, grab, grab." "I must've blown a year's magic on her." "I never want to see her again." "Oh, dear." "And then she's so pretty and so young and...." "You're just as pretty as she is." "Oh, no" " Oh, no, Ocky." "No, no." "Will you please take me back?" "Well, maybe I will and maybe I won't." "But now I need help." "I've just put out all the lights along the Eastern Seaboard." "Purposely?" "On mistake." "I'll say this, when you make one, it's a beaut." "Let's see, now." "This isn't going to be easy." "Okay." "Let's have a whirl at it." "Eastern Seaboard" "Ocky, you did it." "Yeah." "How about that?" "What happened?" "Well, do it again, do it again." "Now, put a little more zing into it." "Okay." "Your hands." "It's your hands, Ocky." "Are they gone?" "Oh, no." "No, but you must keep them up to keep the lights on." "Swell." "Abner, you said the lights were out all over." "That's right, all over the East." "So how come they're on across the street?" "Don't be ridiculous." "They can't be." "No?" "Come see for yourself." "Have you got that buzzing in your head again?" "Take a look." "Ocky, did you put your hands down?" "I had an itch." "Do you mind?" "The lights are on across the street, huh?" "They were." "You'll be all right, dear." "As soon as the swelling goes down." "Now they're on again." "It's dangerous to stand by the window." "Somebody might throw a rock at you." "Who would do a thing like that?" "Me, if you don't sit down and shut up." "Now, here's a slogan you're gonna like a lot more than the others, Mr. MacElroy." ""There's no business like shoe business."" "So much for slogans." "Hi, there, Aunt Clara." "Just checking." "You all right?" "Good." "How's Tabatha?" "Oh, fine." "She's sleeping peacefully, like a baby." "How are you doing without lights?" "Oh, we have lights now." "But the radio said the whole city was blacked out." "How could you possibly have lights?" "Well, I don't know." "I'm a witch, not an electrician." "Aunt Clara, I don't understand." "How could you have light unless you" "Now, listen" "You have lights at your place?" "Why, yes." "Well, great." "Let's jump in the car and go over there before this deal goes down the drain." "Hello?" "We'll be right there." "But" " But" "But I'm not calling to complain about my lights being out." "I just wanna ask a simple question." "How come the lights are on across the street?" "I am not a crank, and if you don't believe me you can check for yourself." "Oh, my niece is coming." "Oh, dear." "Well, I'd rather she didn't see you." "I'd rather she didn't see me either." "Do you mind stepping in here in the closet?" "You know" "Do you?" "Keep your hands up." "Keep your hands up, Ocky." "Hi, Aunt Clara." "I really should leave for the airport." "We'll see that you get downtown." "Absolutely." "Aunt Clara, don't you have something you'd like to tell me?" "Tell?" "Well...." "Now, I" " I do, but" "I had a feeling you'd say that." "I'm gonna go up and check Tabatha." "Yes, well, take your time, dear." "And another thing." "We think you ought to be using TV." "Darrin, tell him about the spectacular you dreamt up." "It's a beaut." "What I had in mind was a big shoe." "Yes, we based the whole thing on "The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe."" "And we have some marvellous songs." ""Shoo-Shoo Baby"?" ""Body and Soul"?" ""Buttons and Bows"?" "For ladies' shoes." "Got any brandy?" "Somebody, a brandy for Mr. MacElroy." "Darrin, show him the newspaper layout." "You wanna see some really clever copy?" "Yes." "Just wait." "Where's the brandy?" "Yes, the brandy." "Mr. MacElroy, we thought we'd start out with" "Oh, no, not again." "There's a flashlight right there on the table, Larry." "Gentlemen, I really should be leaving." "No, you can't leave before you see this ad." "See?" "I can't see anything." "That was just a little dance I learned in Scotland." "It's called, "The Wee Kick of the Kirk."" "Bet she knows where the brandy is." "Now what?" "Never mind, Darrin, I'll get it." "Yes?" "Power company." "We got a complaint about" "Your lights are on." "How about that?" "Come on, fellas." "Now, just a minute." "We'll have them out in no time." "What?" "I mean, we'll get it fixed." "Find the trouble, check it out." "Darrin, will you get rid of them?" "Now, just a minute." "My husband's in the middle of something very important." "Everybody in the city was in the middle of something important but I only got two hands." "Fellas, you check the fuse box and I'll go check the wiring in the kitchen." "Aunt Clara, you just wait till I get you alone." "I didn't" "You have some explaining to do." "Now, wait a minute." "I've got a problem here." "I've got a very important client here." "We can use all the light we can get." "Look, I've got to get to the airport." "No, no, wait." "No, Mr. MacElroy, wait." "You've got plenty of time, plenty." "Darrin!" "Will you forget about him, Darrin?" "All right, I'll get my own brandy." "Oh, sorry for all these interruptions, Mr. MacElroy." "I see you got your brandy." "Come on over here and sit down." "Aunt Clara, there's something funny going on around here." "Oh, I wish you'd tell me." "I'm dying to have a good laugh." "What was that?" "Oh, I've got to get out of here." "Now, wait, Mr. MacElroy." "Mrs. Kravitz, what are you doing here?" "Never mind me." "What are you doing here?" "Me?" "Mrs." "Kravitz, what is the matter?" "There's something in that closet." "What is it?" "I thought it was a moth, but it moved." "That's ridiculous." "That's ridiculous." "Take a look." "All right." "Wait." "Look, Mrs. Kravitz." "There's no one in the closet." "Saved your Sunday punch for the last, right?" "What?" "Now, that's what I call a clever idea." "Animated shoes." "It's only great." "Animated shoes?" "What kind of voices did you have in mind for the shoes?" "Voices?" "Yeah, voices." "Come on back, and let's talk about it." "What about his plane?" "Darrin." "You must be joshing." "I'm not leaving town till I hear all about this." "What are the details?" "Yes, let's hear the details." "The details." "Let me have some of that brandy." "We're gonna check the power lines on the outside." "Just be patient." "We'll get to the bottom of this yet." "I certainly hope so." "What happened?" "She fainted." "Good, now I can get some sleep." "Love the fainting lady." "How do you work her into the animated shoes?" "Aunt Clara, what have you done?" "About what?" "Oh, my stars." "Good morning, sweetheart." "Oh, hi." "How you feel?" "Like a million." "Which is just about what MacElroy's account is worth." "Don't forget you owe it all to Aunt Clara's irresponsibility." "They talked to a puppet man, said it'll be a cinch to animate those shoes." "Really?" "You know, it's amazing what human beings can do." "Listen to this." ""Power company officials announced that last night's massive blackout was due to a power reversal." "The sudden surge in the Niagara grid was a one-in-a-million accident." Aunt Clara didn't do it." "Where are you going?" "To tell her." "Oh, but, Darrin, she thinks she did it." "She's even kind of proud of herself." "Aunt Clara's a new woman." "I don't get it." "Will it hurt to let her go on thinking she's responsible?" "She's bound to read about it in the papers." "So what?" "The newspapers are always coming up with logical explanations for things we witches do." "She won't pay any attention to it." "It's okay with me." "And who knows, maybe she did do it." "Well, the failure of an automatic cut-off system that was a one-in-a-million accident or one of Aunt Clara's goof-ups." "Now, which is harder to believe?" "I'd give anything if you hadn't asked."

Everything can now reside in one module app. Or you can create multiple modules and add them as dependency on the root module app such as: var just=angular.module('justin',[]); var clock=angular.module('clock',[]); var main=angular.module('app', ['justin','clock']); Update: As pointed out by @nico, if we want to support multiple ng-app on html, we need to manual bootstrap them using angular.bootstrap API. See this SO post for example.

Recently, Playboy model Dani Mathers took and posted a nonconsensual photo of a naked woman changing in a gym locker room on her Snapchat in order to fatshame her. She wrote, “If I can’t unsee this, then you can’t either.” Fatphobia is violence. Fat folks, but specifically fat women and femmes (those who do not identify with femininity in their gender expansiveness and are policed for it), are shamed, assaulted, preyed upon, spied on, sexually exploited, interrogated and denied humanity in structural and interpersonal ways. The ways in which strangers and those close to us — often folks who are thin and have acceptable body types — shame us includes taking pictures/videos of us without consent to ridicule and mock our bodies. The perpetrators of this violence are not exclusive to certain types of people; all non-fat folks participate in and benefit from fatphobia. The woman who was minding her business while she is changing in a locker room at the gym was sexually harassed and assaulted. Dani Mathers is a sexual predator. If anyone who was not a thin, white, able bodied, socially/sexually acceptable cisgender straight woman was caught in an act of sexual voyeurism in which they were filming people in a locker room while they were exposed, we wouldn’t have as hard of a time questioning if this was sexual violence. And in many ways, this everyday sexual violence is protected within the culture we live in. This particular situation reveals the deep-rooted reality that many fatphobic people operate as sexual predators. The interrogation around fat bodies, particularly fat bodies of color, is often to understand how we navigate the world, how we have sex, how we are loved or ever valued, how we access joy, how we are ever comfortable enough to exist. Watching, recording, and degrading someone while they’re naked because you think they’re ugly and unworthy of privacy and humanity is disgusting. But it’s also common as fuck to see fat bodies — and all beauty-deviant bodies — as public property. We live in a world where rape culture, body terrorism, beauty standard hierarchies, and white supremacist patriarchy operate together to destroy consent and humanity to deviant bodies in any capacity. These sociopolitical contexts shape an environment in which deviancy in beauty and humanity — bodies of color, fat bodies, disabled bodies, dark skin bodies, gender nonconforming bodies, trans bodies, etc. — allows for the violent mindset that those bodies should be publicly and privately mocked, interrogated to the point of physical assault, stared at and investigated and sexually assaulted because they’re not seen as human. If we are not fitting within society’s beauty and humanity standards, we don’t count as people, we are pieces of property in white supremacist patriarchy. Robbing us of privacy and safety is never seen as an offense. Sexually harassing us in a locker room is not a big deal because being fat is really the ultimate crime. Mathers deserves to be punished and listed as a sex offender. But also, we need to push for consent culture and an end to body shaming to construct a world in which challenges Dani’s protection and comfort in committing sexual violence. Even Dani’s commentary, “If I can’t unsee this, then you can’t either,” speaks volumes to the fact that fat-shaming is a community sport. It is the knowing that other people feel uncomfortable and disgusted by fat bodies as much as you do that makes the world feel empowered to shame and commiserate through oppressive behavior. This issue doesn’t begin with and end with Mathers. The violence of fatphobia and body policing is deeply rooted within our society’s core and it is long overdue that we put an end to it.

Topology models of anion exchanger 1 that incorporate the anti-parallel V-shaped motifs found in the EM structure. We recently published the three-dimensional structure of the membrane domain of human erythrocyte anion exchanger 1 (AE1) at 7.5 Å resolution, solved by electron crystallography. The structure exhibited distinctive anti-parallel V-shaped motifs, which protrude from the membrane bilayer on both sides. Similar motifs exist in the previously reported structure of a bacterial chloride channel (ClC)-type protein. Here, we propose two topology models of AE1 that reflect the anti-parallel V-shaped structural motifs. One is assumed to have structural similarity with the ClC protein and the other is only assumed to have internal repeats, as is often the case with transporters. Both models are consistent with most topological results reported thus far for AE1, each having advantages and disadvantages.

Q: Cannot compare passed value with column name. Laravel I'm trying to use where clause for comparing the values that has been passed from route which is id. For this, I have used following code: Route::get('Bill/{id}/students',['uses' =>'BillController@student']); I need to compare id with the column name in controller which is grade_id. For this Following code has been used: public function student($id) { $data['id'] = $id; $students=Student::all()->where('grade_id',$data); return view('bill.students',compact('students')); } But it is returning empty values. If I pass direct value 1 instead of $data. It works perfectly fine. Can anyone provide me solution? A: use whereLoose() instead of where() whereLoose() This method has the same signature as the where method; however, all values are compared using "loose" comparisons Source Why this happening? $data have a String type and you are comparing String with Int type even if you pass numeric value $data will be String type. (1 === '1') //False (1 === 1) //True (1 == '1') //True

Several distinct minor polypeptides have been observed from lysates of highly purified SV40 virus including the protein in SV40 DNA-protein complex. The molecular weights range from 21 K to 120 K daltons. Of these several are antigenically related to Vp1 with molecular weights larger than that of Vp1. Our goals are (1) to study the nature and function of these minor polypeptides in the virus and their relation to viral polypeptides by biochemical and immunological methods and by the use of deletion mutants of Simian Virus 40 and (2) to study the process of the polypeptides synthesis during infection.

A rail gun is basically a large electric circuit, made up of three parts: a power source, a pair of parallel rails and a moving armature. Let's look at each of these parts in more detail. This content is not compatible on this device. The power supply is simply a source of electric current. Typically, the current used in medium- to large-caliber rail guns is in the millions of amps. The rails are lengths of conductive metal, such as copper. They can range from four to 30 feet (9 meters) long. The armature bridges the gap between the rails. It can be a solid piece of conductive metal or a conductive sabot -- a carrier that houses a dart or other projectile. Some rail guns use a plasma armature. In this set-up a thin metal foil is placed on the back of a non-conducting projectile. When power flows through this foil it vaporizes and becomes a plasma, which carries the current. Here's how the pieces work together: An electric current runs from the positive terminal of the power supply, up the positive rail, across the armature, and down the negative rail back to the power supply. Current flowing in any wire creates a magnetic field around it -- a region where a magnetic force is felt. This force has both a magnitude and a direction. In a rail gun, the two rails act like wires, with a magnetic field circulating around each rail. The force lines of the magnetic field run in a counterclockwise circle around the positive rail and in a clockwise circle around the negative rail. The net magnetic field between the rails is directed vertically. Like a charged wire in an electric field, the projectile experiences a force known as the Lorentz force (after the Dutch physicist Hendrik A. Lorentz). The Lorentz force is directed perpendicularly to the magnetic field and to the direction of the current flowing across the armature. You can see how this works in the diagram below. " " Notice that the Lorentz force is parallel to the rails, acting away from the power supply. The magnitude of the force is determined by the equation F = (i)(L)(B), where F is the net force, i is the current, L is the length of the rails and B is the magnetic field. The force can be boosted by increasing either the length of the rails or the amount of current. Because long rails pose design challenges, most rail guns use strong currents -- on the order of a million amps -- to generate tremendous force. The projectile, under the influence of the Lorentz force, accelerates to the end of the rails opposite the power supply and exits through an aperture. The circuit is broken, which ends the flow of current.

What a Bunch of Squirmers I would have thought that their ‘Fed Up with Pandering to Maori Radicals?’ advertisement would have sparked some sort of reasoned debate, though. But, nope. Most New Zealanders seem ‘uncomfortable’ with the ad, in a sad, cowardly sort of way. Likely they are happy to hide behind the ‘let’s not discuss such a matter’ nonsense that the NZ Herald spins: ‘These are times of high hopes that could easily be dashed on November 26. But right now, Act's sentiments sound like a fading call from the past. Radicalism at both ends of the spectrum has had its day. Responsibility and goodwill are ruling now.’ Like, ‘Peace and love,’ man. Likewise, many numbskull ACT voters and potential voters reckon that the party shouldn't talk about Maori at all: ‘I won’t be voting for ACT after this. There’s too many economic issues that a man like Don Brash should be focussing on instead of this. ‘ ‘What it means is that ACT have given up arguing about things like the CGT, or any of the rest of the nonsense that the Left want to dump on the country.’ ‘This ad is fucking stupid, and that’s coming from someone who would probably vote act.’ Yeah? Why is it that you think ACT should have a policy for, and debate only economic issues? Because many of these dumb-arses are uncomfortable too, in a sad, cowardly sort of way, to talk publicly about Maori radicalism, that’s why. Better to shut up than -gulp- be labelled a racist isn’t it? They'll continue to wonder why most Kiwis only see ACT as acting for big business, though. Which leaves, still, the real racists- the ones who fight for, and win special privileges for Maori- in the boxseat. ‘This is racist. I am finding Don Brash more and more offensive. He is stuck in some 1950′s time warp and he sinks lower in the polls.’ ‘Racist.’ ‘Offensive.’ Never mind the issue, these words are guaranteed to shut most New Zealanders up. ...has risen recently. But so has National. That's only because Labour under Phil Goff is a disaster. National has spent the past three years spinning its wheels and making hay while... the sun dims. There's no doubt that Kiwis are trapped between a rock and hard place. The excesses of Labour 1999-2008 are still keenly felt and John Key's limp-wristed, steady-as-she-goes approach seems to be the only acceptable alternative. ACT's survival is a function of that. The equation is: you vote National, you get loose pussy -- you vote ACT, you get a slightly tighter pussy with a tasty ball rub. The polls show that National will get back with an easy governing majority but that won't give us the stiff backdoor action we crave. I voted for National in 2008 and was lambasted for it. Glenn Jameson was part of National's advertising campaign in 2008 and was summarily fisted for it. Glenn can speak for himself, but I voted tactically to get rid of the most dangerous government New Zealand has had since Norman Kirk did his worst. The National government has done nothing of note, and that's because Key lacks courage. Instead, we've floundered upon the rocks of conservatism. That is, as Rand made clear, the maintenance of the status quo. Some kudos to National that they're going into November with their dicks in the mincer re asset sales, privatisation and other goodies, but that won't fix our $300 million per week borrowing binge. Only wholesale deregulation and a massive state asset sell-off will do it.

Muzaffarnagar Riots: The ‘Deal’ That Saved 32 Alleged Rapists The deal, aided by a Khap leader, excluded women from taking a call on whether alleged rapists are to be punished. Aishwarya S Iyer The deal, aided by a Khap leader, excluded women from taking a call on whether alleged rapists are to be punished. | (Photo: Aroop Mishra/The Quint) India The deal, aided by a Khap leader, excluded women from taking a call on whether alleged rapists are to be punished. (This story was first published on 8 September 2018. It is being reposted from The Quint's archives to commemorate six years to the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots) In the interest of 'societal harmony', upto 32 alleged rapists have been let off the hook in the aftermath of the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots. The arrangement was made between two absolutely unrelated instances of rape. In the first case, five Muslim women were allegedly raped during the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots by 22 Hindu men in Fugana village. In the second instance, in June 2014, ten Muslim men allegedly raped a Hindu woman in Dholera village. Both villages, at least 20 kilometres apart, are in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar district. It was after the Hindu woman was raped that an opportunity presented itself to get all the alleged rapists off the hook. A compromise was hatched by individuals linked to both incidents, from both communities. The Hindu rape survivor testified that she was not raped by her alleged rapists and the five Muslim rape survivors said the same. While the cases are on-going, due to these key statements from the rape survivors, they are bound to fail against the 32 alleged rapists. This is Dholera village where the Hindu woman filed the rape case against 10 Muslim men. She was on her way to her brother’s home when she says she was raped by the men who work as labourers, rikshaw pullers etc. Money was exchanged in both the arrangements. While the Hindu accused from Fugana village say they paid more than Rs 22 lakh to the Muslim rape survivors, the Muslims say they got much lesser. On the other hand, while the Muslim accused say they paid Rs 6 lakh to the Hindu rape survivor, the Hindu rape survivor denies any money was given. However, the Hindu rape survivor did change her testimony in court. While there are contradictory versions on whether money changed hands, and how much money was paid out, both these ‘settlements’ are questionable. Mainly because neither the Hindu rape survivor, nor the 5 Muslim rape survivors had any role in arriving at these compromises. The Quint travelled to Muzaffarnagar and Shamli districts in UP, to meet each of these six rape survivors to investigate the following: Why would the survivors of two unrelated rape case make a compromise? How the compromise played out and how money ‘bought’ silence Did the women play a role in deciding the fate of their alleged rapists? 1. Two Unrelated Rape Cases? No, There’s a Link At first glance there seemed to be no relation between the two cases, but then the link presented itself. When we visited Dholera village to understand why a Hindu family would agree to a compromise and let the 10 Muslim accused rapists off, a local, on the condition of anonymity, gave this reporter a tip. He insisted Dholera’s local Khap leader, Neetu Singh, had orchestrated the arrangement as he had relatives who were amongst the accused in Fugana. This reporter went to Fugana village and found this to be true. Of the 4,000 Muslims who fled Fugana village during the Muzaffarnagar riots are the five rape survivors and their families. The Quint verified the link in Fugana by talking to Sunil Singh also known as Sunil Sarpanch. His father was the former sarpanch of Fugana village, where the five Muslim rape cases were filed during the riots. Sunil Singh’s nephews are amongst the 22 Hindu alleged rapists from the riots in Fugana village. And Neetu Singh is the brother-in-law of Sunil Singh’s niece. On Sunil Singh’s request, Neetu Singh used his position as local Khap leader to get Dholera’s Hindu rape survivor to testify that the ten Muslims were not amongst those who raped her. In exchange, the five Muslim rape survivors altered their statement against Sunil’s nephews. Neetu Singh told The Quint, "To do some good by saving the lives of the 22 men, we had to sacrifice." The emotion in the other community was somewhat similar. These recent red brick settlements exist across Muzzafarnagar and Shamli districts of Uttar Pradesh. They’re home to over 50,000 people who were uprooted from their original homes in the 2013 riots. When The Quint asked the husband of one of the Muslim rape survivors why this generosity was shown, he said, "Samaaj mein aman banane ke liye aisa kiya hain humnein (To maintain peace in society we came to this compromise)." 2. Revealed: How Money ‘Bought’ Silence While talking to The Quint about the rape cases filed by five Muslim women during the riots, Sunil Singh said, "These cases were all false, they were not girls but married women and old." He went on to say, "All the 22 boys were innocent, these women chose boys who were studying. We wanted them to come out of jail as their entire life was ahead of them. Fearing a conviction we began talk of a compromise. This is when the Muslims raised the Dholera case where 10 Muslims were the rape accused." First the statements were withdrawn for the Dholera case and then each of the five Fugana cases, Sunil Singh said. Forty-five-year-old Sudhir says her elder sister and their two children were abandoned by her husband after she was raped. The Quint confirmed this with the Hindu woman's younger brother, 45-year-old Sudhir, who said, "Yes we compromised for the benefit of society. My sister and her children were abandoned by her husband after she was raped. I did want the rapists to go to jail, and ensure they never did this to anyone again. This has been hard and you can say I’ve made a sacrifice." Sudhir and his sister went to court and changed their testimonies. His sister ended up saying, "While the rape did happen, I’m not sure if the 10 Muslim men were the accused." Similarly Sunil Singh let out what each of the five Muslim women told him, "Humaara angoothe ke nishaan liye gaye kore kagaz pe, uske baad kisne kiska naam likha humein nahi pata. Main nahi jaanti in logon ko. (They took my thumb print on a blank sheet, after that whose name they wrote I don't know. I do not know these people.)" All the Muslim rape survivors or their families have confirmed to The Quint that they had indeed altered their statement to end the matter. In both arrangements it is claimed that money was exchanged. Sunil Singh says, "The rate was Rs 1 lakh for each Hindu accused. Hence one Muslim lady got 6 lakh, another 3 lakh... the total amounting to Rs 22 lakh". The Quint corroborated these claims with Muslim rape survivors. While two rape survivor’s families claim that they refused to accept the money, three others said they got money ranging between Rs 2 lakh to Rs 3 lakh. Interestingly, the ‘deal brokers’ on behalf of the three Muslim rape survivors are the relatives of the two rape survivors who claim they did not accept any money. These two are Naseem, husband of one of the rape survivors, and Hazimaan Ali, father in law of another rape survivor who died in 2017 during childbirth. Both, however, insist, they exerted no influence. The Quint went back to Muzaffarnagar and met Hazimaan to probe the legality of the compromise. By this time, this reporter and Hazimaan had developed a rapport, giving this reporter the freedom to say, “I know it is most likely that you got money as well, I just can't say that for you. While the other women have accepted it, I wonder why you haven’t.” Hazimaan responded with a laugh and finally conceded. “What you're thinking is correct,” he said as if complimenting this reporter. Adding, “The ten Muslims from Dholera village gave the Jaatni (Hindu woman) Rs 6 lakh. How would it be easy then, that we give them money but not take any?" Hazimaan laughed again. He got Rs 3 lakh as there were three alleged rapists involved in the case. This 28-year-old raises five children alone for the better part of the year as her husband travels for two-three months and comes back for two weeks before heading out again. The Quint spoke in detail to three of the Muslim rape survivors. One of them, now a 28-year-old, was allegedly raped by four Hindu men. She says she has lived in fear since then. Her husband, who is a labourer, is often away for 2-3 months at a stretch. "For five years I have feared that someone will come at night and rape me. Some days are fine, but most nights it’s hard to overcome this thought." "Naseem and Hazimaan handled the transaction. I am not sure exactly how much money came to us. Must be around Rs 2-2.5 lakh". This is Haziman Ali, the 60-year-old father-in-law of one of the five Muslim rape survivors. Sadly, she died during childbirth in 2017. Another of the rape survivors is 45 years old now. She was allegedly raped by five Hindu men. Her husband died more than a decade ago and she has six girls to raise. She said she was paid between Rs 2 lakh to Rs 2.5 lakh to settle. She took the deal around February 2018. "I also have three sons. They're married and do not help me with my expenses." She says if they had settled earlier the Hindu rape accused would have paid more. "Earlier they used to say they were willing to pay more to end the case. But after the BJP came to power, they reduced the ‘price’. They said the verdict would be in their favour even if they didn’t pay me," she told The Quint. Naseem sitting in his home in Kairana. Here, he shows us the documents, including the FIRs for all the five cases. When this reporter asked her how much money she got paid, she repeatedly looked towards Naseem, who was in the same room, for an answer. He interrupted and said, "No one will tell you exactly how much." Later, in the absence of Naseem, the 45-year-old said she was paid between Rs 2 to 2.5 lakh to stop pursuing her case. We also met a third Muslim rape survivor, who is now 38 years old. She was allegedly raped by four Hindu men. While she doesn't know how much money she got to change her testimony, she says it happened around Holi (March) 2018. Her 41-year-old husband who sells bedsheets, table clothes in Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, says they got Rs 3 lakh. "I was not in the village when the call came, Naseem handled things for us," he said. This 38-year-old and her husband say they were the last ones to settle sometime earlier this year during Holi for Rs 3 lakh. While Naseem denies being involved in brokering the deals, Fugana’s Sunil Singh, whose relatives are amongst the 22 accused, feel otherwise. "Naseem ke vishwaas pe aake vo log baat karne lag gaye the. (After Naseem helped build trust, these people began talking to us)," he told The Quint. In the second arrangement there are claims money was exchanged too. A total of Rs 6 lakh was given to the Hindu rape survivor according to both Sunil and Naseem. However when The Quint asked the lawyer of the Hindu rape survivor, Rahul Choudhary, he refused to speak. “I will not share my client’s secrets with you. You can speak to him directly,” Choudhary said. The Hindu rape survivor’s younger brother Sudhir said, “Yes, we compromised. Yes, my sister and I changed our statements in court, but no money was given to us,” he insisted. 3. Did the Women Play a Role in Deciding the Fate of Their Alleged Rapists? As is evident by how these women knew next to nothing about how much money they would get, the answer to this is a resounding no. All of the rape survivors we met said that they were not a part of any meeting held to decide the compromise. They didn't know how much money they got to alter their testimonies. The rape survivor who died during childbirth is survived by her son, Shaad, and her husband Shakeel. Shakeel re-married a year after she died. Hazimaan Ali, father-in-law of the rape survivor who died in 2017, said women were not a part of the deliberations. When asked whether his daughter-in-law did not want to see the men she named behind bars, he said, "Yes, they wanted those responsible for the torture to be punished. But we explained to the women that the 10 Muslims they are saving are poor and that their kids and wives will give them their blessings. These kids will end up begging for money. That is when they agreed." He said. Naseem, the alleged ‘deal broker’, and also the husband of one of the rape survivors, said, "Aurto ko manaya gaya. 'Pata nahi kitna bada naash ho jayega poore zile ka ismein, isliye kar lo'. (The women were convinced. We told them what if due to this issue there is a bigger blunder in the district, think about that and listen.) Muslims convinced their women and Hindus convinced their women." When this reporter asked Naseem the contact details of another rape survivor, he casually asked me to note down the malik’s (owner’s) number. The use of that word suggest women here are still seen by many men as ‘property’ belonging to their husbands. "This is how one speaks in the village," he insisted. The walls of one of the mosques in Fugana village that was burnt during the 2013 riots. Some of the rape survivors lived right opposite to this mosque, but now those homes are empty with crumbling walls. The four thousand Muslims who left Fugana village, including the families of the 5 women who were allegedly raped, continue to swear to never go back to their burnt homes and mosques. And as those structures wither with time, the promise of 'societal harmony ' stands hollow, and in stark contrast to ground reality. (Clarification: When the story was published three of the five Muslim rape survivors had accepted that they got money to change their testimonies. The copy has been updated on 7 September after the fourth Muslim rape survivor conceded.)

I had another little glimpse into hell tonight; thankfully the details of it are rapidly receding from my mind and falling back into the subconscious. Due to this my little dream (or rather nightmare) journal will grow increasingly distorted and novelized by the second, but this is something worth recording. This will also destroy me if it ever gets into any psychological evaluations, but I’ve made my peace with the fact that the NSA can end me at any time. The sequence of events I am about to describe can best be categorized as an expansion of the infinite terror loop I may have described to you earlier, but much more mundane and much more perception shattering. Right now I’m just going to jog down the remains of what I can remember; later I’ll search myth and theories on the mind to give me some context of its twisted meaning. The worst part about it was that this “event” was the longest fucking dream within a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream within a …dream you’ll ever fucking meet, which means I have already lost crucial details on how the creeping madness could have reached such horrible heights. I have already lost most of the first dream sequence; I can only remember snippets of something apocalyptic and ensnaring, like being swallowed by the icky and constricting black maw of hell. It must have gone on for awhile, for when I “awoke” I had already fallen into a panic. For the first time in more than a decade I truly and utterly feared the dark, and what seemed to leer at me in the blackness. “JAAMESjamessJAmesJamesJAMES!” Schizophrenic whispers and pretenses floated in and out of my mind, the only thought i remember clearly being that a hidden fiend was lurking in the night. Eventually I gathered up the courage to go for the light switch in hopes of dispelling the unseen presence, humming nursery rhymes and Jesus Loves me all the while in an attempt to ignore how its shadow hovered a few feet over me as if in wait to bore down and snatch me in its undoubtedly sharpened claws. After cowering through the greatest flinch of all time I hit the switch: nothing happened. I tried again; the light was dead. Trying not to freak out, I opened the bedroom door and hobbled out of the room. I tried light after light but nothing worked. Even my night vision was failing me, and it became increasingly difficult just to open my eyes. A gangrenous puss had started to encrust my face, and my panic began to mount. As is expected from a man in the middle of his death throes, I cried out for my mother, who was conveniently lounging in the darkness of my living room.( Although now that I think about it I was never able to actually see her and I should have had no real reason to label whatever it was as my mom) I had become a child again- my body and mind had reverted to approximately around the time when I first got pinkeye. I begged my “mother” to help get rid me of the gunk, but either she was another ghoul come to torment me or I had also gone deaf because I couldn’t hear her response. The end of this dream sequence is muddled, but I believe that it just bled out as faint flashes and whispers of pandemonium surrounded the home. The third sequence was just a mindfuck. At that point was lucid dreaming, and aware that I was trapped in a nightmare that I couldn’t wake up from. Sometimes I would be crawling in the darkness, other times would involve me fighting with advanced alzheimers and a dark dissolution of the self while my body remained chained to the bed that my mind was lost in. You know how sometimes you dream that you wake up and walk around the house? This happened to me again, and again, and again. At a certain point I assumed that I had tapped into what the mystics call ‘astral projection’, meaning that my soul got to wander but my body didn’t. Add to this my vision continuing to go in and out of focus, the continued breakdown in my cognitive condition as a malevolent and primal figure just out of eyesight (and well within during my periods of blindness) continued to loiter and, worst of all, the utter repetition of it all and you can see why I lost it. Before things got real bad a piece of myself started to enjoy the trippiness.My predicament may have been ghoulish, but a part of me honestly preferred its novelty to the monotony of my dead end existence. Waiting tables and getting fat always seemed like just another hell that kept people from looking for salvation by pulling its punches five times out of ten. What came next made me realize how wrong I was. The final dream within dream within a…was just voices: terrible, stupid voices. They seem to have started in the midst of me crawling through the hallway, but they only picked up when I was back to being trapped in my dreaming body. I seemed to have lost most of what was said, but I can vaguely remember flashes of cartoon characters like Bullwinkle, Princess Bubblegum and the Iceking, possible manifestations of whimsy, logic and the sweet escape of dementedness. The pivotal scene involved the voice of the Alchemist from The Venture Brothers, Dana Snyder. (come to think of it he was ranting like Master Shake, but more coherently) At first his levity was a welcome break from my paralyzed dread, but the voice soon started to tell me to do worse and worse things, and as I sat in my motionless body I began to dream these things into consciousness. At first I thought the voice was offering me a way to buy my way to freedom, but now I think It was just having fun saying things like “wouldn’t it be great if you killed everyone you’ve loved in such and such way ha ha”. Me actively doing these things appeared in a dream bubble right over my head, and for one moment I actually enjoyed being the one who dished out torment.That moment passed. I realized that this was the gate of hell and made one last desperate attempt to break free. I woke up for what seemed like the hundredth time, and it’s taking awhile for me to accept that I’m finally awake. A little part of me still believes I’m asleep and have just been granted a few moments to enjoy turning on every room-light possible. Fuck Sleep. Fuck sleep with a stick. You ever wonder how it feels to be stuck with Freddy Kruger? It feels like this times three. Having an adversary you can at least pin a location on gives you the benefit of knowing which way to run. Not this. I’m still afraid that this isn’t over, or worse, that it’ll happen until the end of time. I had another little glimpse into hell tonight. Thankfully, the details of it are rapidly receding from my mind and falling back into the subconscious.

Q: Angular Material not Working in Angular 9 I am using Angular Material in Angular 9, and it is not working for me. It is compiling and running, but every time I use Angular Material in my HTML, such as mat-checkbox or mat-form-field, it isn't working properly. I even tried straight up copying the code from material.angular.io, and it is still not working. I circled the one I am trying to do. Mine turned out like this: The code is the same, except I used a different placeholder and label, and I did not use the mat-hint feature. I have imported the module in my app.module.ts properly, so I don't know what is wrong. Here is my code I used. <div class="false" *ngIf="!authorized"> <h4>In order to complete the sign up process, we need the authorized person from your organization <br>to review our terms and conditions. You can send them an email below.</h4> <br> <mat-form-field appearance="fill"> <mat-label>Authorized Person's Name</mat-label> <input matInput placeholder="Authorized Person's Name"> <mat-icon matSuffix>sentiment_very_satisfied</mat-icon> </mat-form-field> <br> <button mat-button class="email">Send Email</button> </div> Is there something I am missing? Thanks in advance! Update: Here is my app.module import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations'; import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { FlexLayoutModule } from '@angular/flex-layout'; import { MatCardModule } from '@angular/material/card'; import { MatCheckboxModule } from '@angular/material/checkbox'; import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module'; import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; import { MatRadioModule } from '@angular/material/radio'; import { PortalComponent } from './portal/portal.component'; import { MatButtonModule } from '@angular/material/button'; import { MatFormFieldModule } from '@angular/material/form-field' import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms'; @NgModule({ declarations: [ AppComponent, PortalComponent ], imports: [ BrowserModule, BrowserAnimationsModule, AppRoutingModule, FlexLayoutModule, MatCardModule, MatCheckboxModule, MatRadioModule, MatButtonModule, FormsModule, MatFormFieldModule ], providers: [], bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule { } A: it turns out the answer was really simple. I just had to update a couple of my dependencies. Hope this answer helps for anyone who forgets to do the same in the future.

Q: Zoo Visitor Fields Displaying Tag Instead Of Member Data I am trying to map the member fields of EE2 to the zoo visitor fields to display the user's previously registered shipping and billing details and I am using the value '{visitor:global:shipping_phone}' to retrieve the values, but the value of the phone field is showing the actual text '{visitor:global:shipping_phone}'. I am wrapping my form fields with the '{exp:zoo_visitor:details}' tag. I have also mapped the two fields in the backend. What else am I missing? A: shipping_phone is not a ZV global variable. If the tag doesn't exist then it will always just output as a string. If this is on the member account page then you just need to use the member details tag pair with their respective fields as shown in their docs.
