Q: Includes association with conditions I am trying to include this association
class Moment < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :user_taggings_excluded_creator, class_name: "UserTagging", conditions: proc {["user_id != ?", self.created_by]}
It's working when I try to write it on the terminal but when I use includes the procedure is not working at all.
I have this error when I try to call my controller with user_taggings_excluded_creatorassociation.
NoMethodError - undefined method `created_by' for #<ActiveRecord::Relation::ActiveRecord_Relation_UserTagging:0x0000010548b920>:
Edit : It seems that self is not my class Moment but the class calling this association.
I have no idea of what's happening. Does anyone have some ?
Thank you in advance.
A: The error is telling you that the attribute created_by does not exists on the instance of the class UserTagging.
Look into your db/schema.rb file to check if the attribute exists or not.

- What is important to me in my work is the identity that is hidden behind so-called reality. I search for a bridge from the given present to the invisible, rather as a famous cabalist once said, 'If you wish to grasp the invisible, penetrate as deeply as possible into the visible'.
I have always been drawn back to the work of Max Beckman because it touches on some of what I try to do in my own work. I feel a connection to the way he creates form in his painting. They feel like sculpture as much as they do paintings. I also feel a strong interplay between the physical world and the spiritual world here. The paintings become like a touchstone between these two parallel worlds - and proof that the invisible one exists. These artworks are all haunting in the best way, difficult to understand and yet magnetic in their sheer beauty and deep feeling.

Q: OpenPGP.js passing PGP block to javascript variable I have setup a file using OpenPGP.js which encrypts a message. I need to set the PGP blocks to a javascript variable so i can pass it to the encrypt/decrypt functions. When I paste it in normally it breaks the script as its multiple lines. I have tried using php json_encode - this passes to the encrypt function but readArmored gets an error "Unknown ASCII armor type".
What is the best way to pass this variable from php to javascript, or how can i decode it properly for use in javascript?
Here is the code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="openpgp.js"></script>
</head>

<script>
var privateKey = '<?php echo $privateKey; ?>';

var passcode = 'pass1234';
$('#passphrase').val(passcode);
$('#private').val(privateKey);
$('#public').val(publicKey);
encrypt(publicKey, 'Hello!!!');
function encrypt(pubkey, message){
var publicKey = openpgp.key.readArmored(pubkey);
console.log(publicKey);
openpgp.encryptMessage(publicKey.keys, message).then(function(pgpMessage) {
// success
$('#encrypted').val(pgpMessage);
}).catch(function(error) {
// failure
console.log(error);
});
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
A: Removing the ' ' solved the issue:

var publicKey = '<?php echo $publicKey; ?>';
To
var privateKey = <?php echo $privateKey; ?>;

Margo loves helping women amplify and cultivate their voices through creative workshops, speaking engagements and women's retreats. It was during a counseling session that Margo had an "Aha moment" – she realized that many of her clients were struggling with very similar life challenges and that many of these life challenges were specific and unique to the feminine journey. So she decided to create a series of workshops for women based on these common patterns. Each of these unique workshops are between 2-3 hours and were created to help women cultivate and amplify their voices. Margo has provided these workshops in a number of settings: businesses, colleges, churches…just to name a few. She is a sought after speaker by business leaders, churches and women's groups.
If you are interested in having her speak to your group, please contact her via her contact page. Also, if you are interested in attending one of her workshops, be sure to sign-up for her newsletter so that you can be in the know about upcoming workshops in your area.
Challenging fear and learning to take risks are the required habits of a woman who wants to live a life of purpose and intention. Learning how to move from a posture of fear to a position of confidence in oneself is a life shift that EVERY WOMAN CAN LEARN! This workshop invites women to look at the belief systems that keep them from taking risks in their life. Learning how to take more risks and managing fear is a necessary part of every woman's life. You will leave this workshop feeling more equipped to take on life's challenges in every area of life that is important to you.
We each have a story within us. Our narratives include those moments in our life that we would prefer to forget, moments that are painful, hard to talk about and often very shame producing. I have created a writing process I call Ugly-Beautiful: a series of mindful steps and emotional shifts that help women translate the most difficult part of their journeys into more meaningful moments, where you are the heroine of your story. This talk encourages women to look at their personal stories and translate the challenges they have had in their life into powerful moments.
What Voice are you listening to? The feminine spirit has a tendency to absorb Bullying Voices which create ongoing self doubt, feelings of helplessness and thoughts of insignificance. Left unaddressed and unchallenged these Voices play a powerful role in keeping women in the shadows and away from a place of significance and control. This workshop will walk you through the process of identifying these Voices and how to lower the volume on them so you can increase the volume on your Voice.
"Margo Tirado has an uncanny ability to immediately draw women into a safe space that promotes openness and honesty. Her articulation of the feminine spirit resonates with women of all ages and invites us to explore our stories, our wounds, and our potential as women and as spiritual beings.
Margo is entertaining, animated, and interactive with her audience, enabling women to engage with and embrace deep and complex aspects of our realities, while at the same time having fun time doing so.

Reach deadline at risk
By Sean Milmo2010-03-19T13:05:00+00:00
Chemicals at risk of being removed from market as large number of firms look set to miss EU chemical regulation deadline
The European Union is partnering with industry to try and prevent a large number of chemical companies missing an important deadline under the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical Substances (Reach) regulations that could cause chemicals to be removed from the market.
The joint group is expected to put forward proposals in April to prevent chemical producers and importers missing a 30 November deadline for the registration of high volume and potentially toxic substances.
If the chemicals are not registered with the required safety information in time they will be withdrawn from the market under the Reach rule of 'no data, no market', potentially causing disarray in chemical supply chains.
The Directors' Contact Group (DCG), which consists of representatives of the European Commission, European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), the European Chemical Industry Council (Cefic) and organisations representing distributors, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and oil and metal producers, was set up earlier this year to tackle problems with the preparation of registration dossiers.
The November cut-off, the first of three Reach registration deadlines, covers dossiers for chemicals produced or imported in annual volumes of 1,000 tonnes or more. It also covers registration of substances which are carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction and chemicals used in quantities above 100 tonnes per year that pose long term risks to aquatic organisms.
Source: © M-H Jeeves
Gathering the necessary data by the November deadline could be tricky
The ECHA estimates that around 9,000 substances fall into these categories, so there should be a corresponding number of substance information exchange forums (Siefs) assembling dossiers.
So far, however, appraisals by regulatory agencies and trade associations indicate that only a minority of the estimated substances have active Siefs gathering the required data. Detailed surveys are being carried out by ECHA and national associations to try and ascertain the exact number of active Siefs and companies planning to make registrations by November.
'At the moment it appears there are only about 3,000 active Siefs,' says Erwin Annys, Cefic's Reach policy director. 'The task of the Directors' Contact Group will be to find out what the problems are and what can be done to resolve them. It seems that drawing up registration dossiers can be an extremely difficult exercise for some small companies and for companies in Eastern Europe.'
SMEs in particular are hoping that the DCG will sort out some of their difficulties so that they can submit dossiers on time.
'We are expecting that at its next meeting in April the DCG will decide on some broad solutions to the problems SMEs are having,' says Guido Lena, sustainable development director at UEAPME, the European association representing SMEs and a member of the DCG.
'We have been going through a phase of delicate negotiations,' he continues. 'By getting together to try to find solutions we are hoping that steps will be taken to ensure that the registration process goes as smoothly as possible.'
The main problems for SMEs pinpointed by UEAPME relate to the running of Siefs -such as the prevalent use of English, lack of transparency, barriers to access to data and poor internal communications.
'The biggest difficulty is with the contracts on data and other issues which they are asked to sign by the people running the Siefs,' says Lena. 'SMEs don't know exactly what the contracts are, whether they are legal or not and whether they should sign them. They need guidance.'

Taipei, Dec. 2 (CNA) The ruling Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) major defeat in last Saturday's local government elections was the result of voter dissatisfaction with its performance rather than a desire to move closer to China, two former U.S. diplomats said Sunday in Taipei.
The DPP, which came into power in May 2016, won control of only six of Taiwan's 22 city and county governments in the Nov. 24 polls, down from the 13 it held previously, while the China-friendly opposition Kuomintang (KMT) won 15 seats, a net pickup of nine.
Some foreign media reports described the result as a major setback for the Tsai administration and a victory for Beijing.
During an exclusive interview with CNA on Sunday, however, former American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Director Stephen Young said he saw the result as an "ordinary reaction" of Taiwanese voters who expressed discontent over the DPP's performance over the last two years.
He said he read some articles indicating that China was allegedly using money to interfere with Taiwan's democratic elections, "but I would not jump to the conclusion that was decisive (in the DPP's defeat)."
"Based on what I have seen, that is a natural checking action," said Young, who served as AIT Taipei head from March 18, 2006 through July 3, 2009.
That said, Young indicated that the Chinese government under President Xi Jinping (習近平) is undoubtedly trying to manipulate the democratic progress of ethnic Chinese systems, Taiwan and Hong Kong included.
"Taiwan must be patient. Taiwan must be vigilant," Young said, citing the fact that "China is stronger than ever before and Xi Jinping is a very dangerous man."
Taiwan should also remember that the U.S. will be supportive of Taiwan and will not tolerate attempts by China to bully or threaten the democratic island, he stressed.
John Tkacik, a retired U.S. foreign service officer, and policy commentator with over 40 years' experience in China, echoed Young's view in an interview with CNA.
He believed American officials will not interpret the DPP's loss on Nov. 24 "as indicators of Taiwan's foreign policy in the future."
Tkacik admitted that the major defeat of the DPP and the overwhelming support for the China-friendly KMT was surprising and somewhat "uneasy" for many people in Washington who hope Taiwan will not revert to warmer ties with China at the expense of its relations with the democratic West.
But Tkacik said the U.S. views Taiwan as the most vibrant democracy in the Indo-Pacific region and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's tweet on Nov. 24 was concrete proof of that.
Pompeo congratulated Taiwan "on another successful round of free and fair elections" and said Taiwan's democracy served as an example for the entire Indo-Pacific.
"Just having an election (in Taiwan) is good for Taiwan-U.S. relations," Tkacik said.
Though he sees the election results as primarily local and related to mainly local issues, Tkacik has warned about Beijing's interference in Taiwan elections with its "fake news" attacks for many years.
"We are very conscious of how in the last 10 years both Russia and China have reawakened their propaganda instruments/apparatuses, to shape the information environment not just in the U.S. but in Europe and in other countries. And what is happening in Taiwan is an example of Chinese propaganda operations," he said.
Beijing has been able to generate a lot of anger and emotion on things related to politics in Taiwan, he said.
To counter this disinformation, reputable organizations need to do investigative reporting on the phenomenon so that more people will be aware of such efforts by Beijing so that they can make informed decisions.

After Dire Straits disbanded in 1995, Knopfler continued to record and produce albums as a solo artist under his own name.
Knopfler has played in other groups occasionally, such as the The Notting Hillbillies, and has guested on works by other artists, including Gerry Rafferty in his album "Another World", Steely Dan, Emmylou Harris, the Chieftains, Chet Atkins and many others. His musical scores include Metroland, Local Hero, Cal, Last Exit to Brooklyn, Wag the Dog, and Rob Reiner's classic, The Princess Bride.
His latest Album is called Get Lucky and was recorded at his award-winning British Grove Studios in west London. Knopfler combines folk and blues with his original songwriting.
If Get Lucky was a novel, it'd be another of Knopfler's page-turners, full of characters who leap out of the lyrics, like the Glasgow lorry-driver of the opening track 'Border Reiver.' Those and other characters on the album are viewed through the prism of Mark's childhood, spent in Glasgow until he was eight, when the family moved to Newcastle. "Do we ever get away from our childhoods?" he muses. "Some of the things we're attracted to when we're very small stay with us all our lives."
Border Reiver is about a truck driver journeying from Glasgow to the South (probably to England)in a lorry called an Albion Reiver (makers name: Albion Motors of Scotstoun). They used to have a 'rising sun' emblem on the grill at the front of the truck, and were known for their reliability.
I hope you enjoy listening to Border Reiver from Mark Knopfler's latest album, Get Lucky.
I hope you will join in and link up one of your favourite songs for today's Tuesday Tune.
I am just sending you a quick postcard to say hi from the beach!
spending time together as a family for a whole week!
I will be popping back to post a Sunday Song, though, so see you then!
Today I would like to share some of my favourite Wainscoting ideas.
nonexistent damp-proof courses, are often affected by rising dampness.
Hello sweet friends! Thanks so much for visiting today-I am so happy that you have dropped by to visit me in my little corner of the world Down Under!
My parents are on vacation at the moment, visiting my sister Holly and her family in the UK and they have also been on a cruise. I believe they are in Italy at the moment. I am just a bit envious! Anyway, I went to their house yesterday, just to check on everything. I checked that their fish were still alive, that their mailbox was empty and that all their appliances were still working. I also checked the back yard and when I went out to the back deck I was welcomed by a family of rainbow lorikeets who were feasting on all the wild flowers, plants and seeds from Dad's native garden.
Naturally, I had to take some pictures. I don't seem to go anywhere these days without my camera!
There were also some green tomatoes growing on the tomato vine.
With all these yummy ingredients in my bag I decided to quickly escape before I got caught, head home and make the Baingan Ka Bharta as a vegetarian side dish for our curry night!
Baingan Ka Bharta is a delicious vegetarian side dish.
2 Eggplants cut into 2-inch (5 cm) cubes.
2 tbsp Oil of choice. I like Olive Oil.
In a wok or heavy skillet, heat some of the oil and fry the eggplant cubes until soft, about 7-10 minutes. Remove, set aside. Now add some more oil, and add cumin and mustard seeds and fry until they sparkle and sputter! When they stop sputtering, add and saute the onions and cook covered until brown, then add the chilies. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, till excess liquid dries up and the onions get tender.Mix in the chili powder, salt, curry leaves, tomatoes and pureed tomatoes. Cook covered for 15 minutes, until the extra moisture dries up. Add the roasted and mashed eggplant, mix well and cook covered for 5 minutes. Mix in the garam masala and cook covered for 2 minutes and serve garnished with coriander leaves. This dish is great served as an accompaniment to other curry dishes or can be eaten with Naan or Paratha breads.
Prep time: 20 mins Cook time: 40 mins Total time: 1 hour Yield: 4-6 servings depending on whether it is served as a side dish or main.
This dish is great served as an accompaniment to other curry dishes or can be eaten with Naan or Paratha breads.
My sweet daughter Maddy made a spinach side dish for our curry night. If you would like to see her Palak Paneer recipe just click here!
I hope you try this dish-it is delicious!
I also hope you might be able to come back and join me on the weekend for my #TuesdayTune Linky Party!
Each week I share a song that I love and lots of other fabulous bloggers join in with me and share their favourite music for the week.
Until then, I hope you enjoy listening to Chloe Agnew from Celtic Woman singing Vivaldi's Rain.
Don't you agree that she has the Voice of an Angel?
Thank you so very much for spending your time with me today! I truly value our blogging friendship!

There are various challenging options to accelerate parallel rendering through improved compositing such as: optimization of the compositing pipeline, on-the-fly compression or variable sub-resolution rendering. However, distributed parallel compositing is a complex construct which has to balance various aspects. Overall the major challenge is to transfer only the minimal amount of data as fast as possible and doing so with negligible overhead in computing cost. Also, the data reduction and transmission must be generic to support general purpose parallel rendering. Thus we develop flexible distributed image compositing that can adjust to various rendering scenarios.

Rise in sales for ship repair firm
by Jim Millar
September 18 2019, 7.30am
Montrose Port
Ship repair firm Dales Marine Services, which has facilities in Montrose and Grangemouth, remains buoyant despite a 4% fall in pre-tax profits.
The latest accounts for the year ending December 31 2018, show the firm had increased turnover from £17.3 million in 2017, to £19.3m 2018.
However, pre-tax profits fell from £1.9m in 2017 to £1.8m last year.
The firm are dry dock specialists providing a broad spectrum of marine services including structural steel fabrication, ship repair and vessel mobilisation and demobilisation.
In the annual report, director James Nicol said: "Notwithstanding the challenging economic climate within the oil and gas sector, the company continues to trade profitably and enjoys a strong balance sheet.
"We continually target key areas to reduce costs to maintain margin and remain competitive in the market place."
Mr Nicol said the company's ability to switch between operations and project to minimise downtime has allowed the firm to maintain margins.
The firm also saw an increase in staff from 96 production and administration personnel in 2017, to 104 staff last year, with 94 employed in production, and ten working in administration.
The increase saw a rise in wages, social security and pensions costs from £5.8m in 2017, to £6.5m in 2018.
Since 2017, the firm has been licensed to carry out end of life decommission and depolluting work at their site in Leith.
In 2018 the company was approved by the European Commission and placed on the EU ship recycling register, allowing Dales to both depollute and recycle vessels.
The firm offers dry dock services at its facilities in Aberdeen, Leith, Greenock, Grangemouth and Troon.

ST. GEORGE'S CHAPEL AND WESTMINSTER ABBEY CHOIR CONCERT IN PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS
Hewitt Bostock (Speaker of the Senate)
Mr. SPEAKER:
I have the honour to inform the House that I have received a special invitation for the House to hear to-morrow in the parliament buildings the famous choir of St. George's Chapel and Westminster Abbey.
The choir could sing either in the morning or at 2.30 in the afternoon. I will leave it
for the House to decide which hour would suit them best. Shall it be in the morning or at two-thirty?
Topic: ST. GEORGE'S CHAPEL AND WESTMINSTER ABBEY CHOIR CONCERT IN PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS
In the morning.
At two-thirty.
I think "two-thirty" has
it, and the choir will be notified accordingly. They will sing either in the Hall of Fame or in the railway committee room, according to the number present.

CIVIL SERVICE ACT, 1918, AMENDMENT
Mr. J. S WOODSWORTH (Winnipeg North Centre) moved for leave to introduce Bill No. 108 to amend the Civil Service Act, 1918.

It is designed to provide means for the hearing of grievances and for the promoting of efficiency. I believe it is quite in harmony with the idea recently put forward by the Prime Minister when he said: I think that in the relations of the civil service and the government a council on which there would be representatives of the civil service to speak directly to members of the government, or to take up with heads of departments matters of interest to all government departments could be of the utmost service to all concerned. Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.
Mr. M. N. CAMPBELL (Mackenzie) moved for leave to introduce Bill No. 109 to amend the Civil Service Act, 1918. (Director of Civil Service). He said: I may say that the object of this bill is to carry out in part certain recommendations and suggestions made to parliament in 1922 by the special committee appointed to inquire into the Civil Service of Canada. Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.

Imagine owning nearly 750 acres of prime Costa Rican forest and grazing land in the Southern Pacific zone (Zona Sur) of Costa Rica. When you are on the property, you are surrounded by wild jungle with an indescribable variety of wildlife including wild scarlet macaws, toucans, herons, wild cats, pizotes, monkeys, and so much more. This incredible property is a microcosm of the wilderness of the area and includes primary growth forest, secondary growth forest, livestock pastures, hills, rivers, streams, and much more. The property overlooks the wild Sierpe River, which provides habitat for a wide range of aquatic flora and fauna that people come from around the world to tour and see with their own eyes. This property truly is an environmental treasure and would be an incredible addition for an individual or group that wants to protect the environment for future generations. In fact, much of the forestland is currently enrolled in the FONAFIFA program which provides a modest income in return for continuing to protect this incredible area. As the new owner, you could choose to re-enroll the property and continue protecting the land and collect the modest income or you could choose to repurpose the land – for instance building a new home or eco-business while enjoying incredible privacy and biodiversity. The possibilities are endless.
The property is currently utilized for environmental-protection purposes and some livestock grazing. The property has various zones including quebradas, primary and secondary forest, pasture, trails, and more. If you chose to build on the property, there are a number of natural springs and surface water sources as well as electrical service at the road with water concessions on one of the properties. There are countless potential building sites that could provide privacy and incredible views of the ocean, rivers, and valleys in the Sierpe and Drakes Bay area.
Potential uses for the property:
1. Continue conserving the area for environmental purposes. Preserve the wilderness and trees in the primary and secondary forest for carbon capture and oxygen production. Continue light grazing and livestock pasture activities while preserving space for the irreplaceable wildlife that calls the area home. This option will even bring in some funds from the FONAFIFO program for protecting the forests. You can expand up to 2000 acres in total if you are interested.
2. Remote eco-lodge with complete privacy, views, and wildlife. Add in adventure tours and horseback riding for a truly unique guest experience.
3. Hotel and/or glamping location not too far from Drakes Bay, Sierpe mangrove tours, and more.
Protecting and enjoying nearly 750 acres is not enough for you? The owner is also willing to offer an additional 1100+ acres of additional adjacent property that would provide an even larger area for you to protect and enjoy for a similar price per hectare. If you are looking for nearly 2000 acres total of wild and pristine environmental treasure in Costa Rica, let's talk! The owner is even willing to consider partial owner-financing to help make your dreams come true and to help you own this environmental treasure.

Muni's biggest PCC streetcars have been nicknamed "torpedoes" by fans since shortly after they arrived in San Francisco in 1948. The 50'5″ behemoths are four feet longer than the far more numerous single-end PCC streamliners, and a full nine feet wide. The origin of the nickname is a bit obscure, but many think it derives from the sleekness of the design.
There are seven of these cars in Muni's vintage streetcar fleet. Three are currently being completely rebuilt at Brookville Equipment Corporation in Pennsylvania. The other four have been fully engaged for the past few years causing the waterfront on the E-Embarcadero line between Fisherman's Wharf and Oracle (formerly AT&T) Park and the Caltrain depot.
But the two-month shutdown of the E-line that started January 22 has seen the torpedoes reassigned to the F-line, which means they're quite visible on Market Street and the northern Embarcadero, where their extra-large capacity is put to good use. At the top, Car 1011 passes Pier 23 Cafe (great place for an affordable meal and music on the waterfront, by the way), headed for another trip up Market to Castro Street, while below, Car 1009, painted in tribute to Dallas, crosses over Don Chee Way from The Embarcadero to Steuart Street, bound up Market at night.
When the E-reopens at the end of March, the four active torpedoes will shift back, so grab a ride up Market on one now! They'll be joined by the end of this year by their three siblings currently at Brookville.

Let's go! The 2023 When Are You Reading? Challenge Starts Today!
Today is the first day for the 2023 When Are You Reading? Challenge! I hope you'll consider taking on the challenge and joining me. This is the tenth year! Yes, the tenth! There's not a lot of things I'll do for ten years straight, but this is one.
The premise of the challenge is to read one book from each of twelve time periods. It's up to the reader where a book lies. You can do it based on publication date or setting, whatever you want. Feel free to switch it up, too. I did make a small update this year. For those who have been doing the challenges multiple years, if there are time periods you find very challenging (like I do for the 1300-1499 time period), let me know and we can make changes moving forward.
The challenge is located here. If you'd like to participate, leave me a comment somewhere on the blog letting me know and giving me a link to your challenge page or post. I'll add a link to my challenge page so other readers can visit you and see what you've been reading.
The time periods are:
Pre 1200 [UPDATED]
1300-1499 [UPDATED]
I do hope you'll consider joining me. I've had a lot of fun with this challenge over the past several years and I'm looking forward to doing it again.

This looks fun. Books that range through more than one of these periods don't qualify I guess?
Sam January 3, 2023 at 7:58 AM #
It's up to you! I usually pick one time period for a book. If it sounds a few, I pick the one where most of the story takes place, but it's up to the participants. Happy reading!

Who is Kelly Ripa's new 'Live' cohost? Twitter reacts to Michael Strahan's replacement
By Jordan Appugliesi
Nearly a year following the departure of Michael Strahan, Kelly Ripa has revealed that Ryan Seacrest is the new cohost of Live With Kelly.
Ripa delivered the news after teasing the announcement in a video posted to Twitter on Sunday:
During Monday's episode, Ripa told viewers Seacrest would be permanently joining her at the desk of the talk show.
Ripa first shared the desk with Regis Philbin from 2001 to 2011. After Philbin left the program, Strahan assumed the position from 2012 to 2016, when he exited for a job with Good Morning America. His announcement infamously caused Ripa to take a few days off from the show. Since Strahan left, Ripa has had a slew of cohosts including Ashton Kutcher, husband Mark Consuelos and John Leguizamo.
Twitter reacted strongly to the Seacrest announcement — and not all users did so in a positive way:

Q: Under what circumstances does DirectX not paint over child windows of the window whose handle was passed to CreateDevice()? There is an interesting behaviour of DirectX where it differs between the Windows implementation (DirectX 11) and the Wine implementation under Linux.
In order to determine whether it is a bug in the Wine implementation or the program, I'd like to know where exactly this behaviour is documented, as I have not been able to find anything except "It works for Windows".
Here's the description: When drawing on a window using DirectX, it seems that any visible child window of this window is not painted over. As an example, here is the MeshViewer from the DirectX SDK's samples:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/264/unbenannt2nf3.jpg/
(The main window's handle is passed as the hDeviceWindow in the present parameters in CreateDevice.) The tool bar and status bar are visible in Windows, but under Wine they are obscured by the DirectX surface:
http://i.imgur.com/WP8rd.png
I have also observed this behaviour in another application with a tool bar that creates a DirectX surface the size of the window's client area and relies on DirectX to figure out which areas to paint over. Interestingly enough, the tool bar seems to be not painted over the DirectX surface every frame (I've set a breakpoint in the tool bar's Paint handler), so my guess is that DirectX somehow figures out the position of the child windows and does not paint over them in the first place.
Is that correct and if yes, where is it documented?

Q: Why does conditional include stop working in Jekyll unless I add non-white space character(s)? My Jekyll-based web site suddenly stopped including the Google Analytics script block. Yesterday, it was working (the script block was on all pages), but today, after I uploaded a new post, the script block was uniformly gone from all pages.
I'm hosting my site on GitHub pages, so in order to troubleshoot, I wanted to reproduce the issue on my local machine. It turned out that I was running old versions of Ruby and Jekyll on my local machine, so I updated Ruby and installed the GitHub Pages Gem in order to ensure that my local environment matched GitHub pages:
gem install github-pages
That enabled me to reproduce the issue. Now, even when I ran
jekyll serve --safe
the Analytics script block wasn't included in any page.
After much troubleshooting, I finally figured out that if I put any sort of non-white space character(s) in my JB/analytics file, between the google case and the include directive, it worked.
Thus, this works, in the sense that when the --safe switch is on, the script block in JB/analytics-providers/google is included:
{% case site.JB.analytics.provider %}
{% when "google" %}.
{% include JB/analytics-providers/google %}
(notice the period character after {% when "google" %}).
However, this doesn't work - even with the --safe switch, the contents of include JB/analytics-providers/google is never included:
{% case site.JB.analytics.provider %}
{% when "google" %}
{% include JB/analytics-providers/google %}
While I have a workaround, I'd much appreciate an explanation of this behaviour.
A: This would indeed be an issue with liquid. But I can't reproduce it with the version of liquid that is current for github pages, 2.5.5 ...
Reproducing
This is what I tried, in a pry session:
# Load liquid 2.5.5
require 'liquid'
# Set up local file system to allow for includes
Liquid::Template.file_system = Liquid::LocalFileSystem.new( './' )
# Create template string
c = "{% case provider %}\n {% when 'google' %}\n {% include 'test' %}\n{% else %}\n else\n{% endcase %}"
# Create template
t = Liquid::Template.parse c
# Render
t.render( { 'provider' => 'google' } )
Regardless of if I used \n or \r\n line endings I get the expected behaviour ( => "\n Liquid error: No such template 'test'\n" in this case since I didn't have a template, but it's calling the include so ... ).
Giving any other value than 'google' triggers the else case and results in => "\n else\n".
The addition of the period only affects the output by including the dot, not by if it triggers the include or not.
Followup
Could you check your versions? gem list liquid and gem list jekyll
Could you copy your site and strip it down to a minimal example for us to play with? It's difficult to reproduce what you got with the information given.
Note for experimenters
When executing Liquid in the console or from a test file remember that it likes it's hashes to be strings, not symbols. Feeding { provider: 'google' } to render above results in => "" ... It won't find your keys if they aren't strings.

Domino's Pizza-Spotting App Is a Window Into a Future of Justified Paranoia
What is it really, ultimately, for?
By Eric Limer
Earlier this month, popular pizza purveyor Domino's unveiled the latest in a long line of technological PR stunts: Points for Pies. Simply download the Domino's app and use it to take a picture of a pizza, any pizza. For every picture the app identifies as pizza—Domino's or otherwise—you get ten points (with a limit of ten points per week). Once you get 60 points, you'll be entitled to one free medium two-topping pizza from Domino's.
It's a fun little gimmick with a timeless enticement (free pizza) and a fun techno hook: The app is powered by artificial intelligence, trained in-house to recognize all breeds of pizza from a homemade pie to a cartoonish dog toy. "This is the first time Domino's is using AI technology like this," Domino's chief digital officer, Dennis Maloney, notes in the program's press release. "It will be running the pizza identification process and is already smart enough to identify all pizza, even if it is a homemade English muffin pizza, a pizza with a hotdog stuffed crust, or a high-end artisan pizza. It can even identify if it's a dog's squeaky pizza toy."
The question is "to what end?" and to ask it will take you down a rabbit hole that goes much, much deeper than selling pizza. It's the rabbit hole we live in now.
Pizza Bot Is Your Boss Now
There is the obvious, straightforward answer as to why this promotion exists: This is a standard loyalty program with some technomagical fairy dust sprinkled on top. The allure of a free pizza is designed to entice you to download the Domino's app, which makes it easier for you to order Domino's. If you order Domino's, you're probably going create an account that includes your name, email address, phone number. On top of all that, the Points for Pies program requires you to think about Domino's, and about opening the app, at least once a week.
But there's something else going on here, because the A.I. component adds a new layer. Like most other machine-learning A.I.s, the Domino's bot "learns" how to do its job by ingesting mountains of human data. Given enough pictures that humans have confirmed to be pizza, an A.I. can learn how to recognize pizza for itself in ways that humans could never wrap our minds around.
Domino's had already engaged in this training prior to the program's launch, as Maloney notes. But the A.I. will also be improving as Points for Pies goes on, as VP of Digital Marketing & Global eCommerce Christopher Thomas-Moore confirmed to Popular Mechanics in a statement: "The future plans will be to continue training the model with successful scans to even further improve its accuracy."
Why spend the resources to make it better unless there's something else going on?
So why? The app was already good enough to perform its function, otherwise it couldn't have been released. So why spend the resources to make it better unless there's something else going on? And why not find something else? Otherwise those pizza photos, perfect for training an even better robot, are all going to waste instead of generating value for shareholders! Domino's is mum about any future plans for its continually improving A.I., but it's hard to imagine it doesn't have any.
One possibility is that the A.I. may eventually go to work in Domino's vaunted Pizza Tracker, a service first launched in 2008 that claims to track your pizza's journey from order to delivery. The service's authenticity has been questioned many times over the years by customers who have spotted discrepancies and other assorted Truthers. Domino's official line on any reported inaccuracies has been, basically: That's what happens when, regrettably, humans have to be involved. As a spokesperson put it to Fox News in 2017, "The issue is that it does require some human interaction and sometimes humans make mistakes." Maybe not much longer!
Much like the Points for Pies app, however, the Pizza Tracker could itself be a test bed for something else. It doesn't seem too unrealistic that Domino's pie-spotting A.I. could find a use in some sort of automated quality assurance or, at some point in the distant future, part of the foundation of fully automated pizza venture, like some of its competitors have already been toying with. After all, which seems more outlandish: that Domino's is using your pizza pictures to explore the possibility of automating away its workforce, or that Domino's is not using your pizza pictures for anything at all?
Even pizza companies are tech companies now. Thanks, big data.
Paranoia Town, Population: Me
The deeply unsettling conclusion of this line of thinking extends far beyond Domino's. Whether or not Domino's has any plans for improving their pizza-recognition app, nefarious or otherwise, is beside the point. The point is that it could, and that from a company's perspective, it would be a wasted opportunity not to. Worse yet, from our perspective, it's basically impossible to tell one way or the other.
As A.I.s that train themselves on user data continue to proliferate, the difference between an app that captures your data for training versus one that captures it incidentally is indistinguishable unless you're the one behind the scenes. On top of that, the opportunity cost of not feeding mountains of user data to a robot is skyrocketing.
The cost of not feeding mountains of user data to a robot is skyrocketing.
Such a state of affairs lends itself to lines of thinking that are at once conspiratorial and completely rational. Earlier this year, when a meme called the 10 Year Challenge swept Facebook, a similar theory emerged. The challenge asked users to post two side-by-side pictures of themselves ten years apart, ostensibly to show how far we've all come in a decade. Well, many observers realized the 10 Year Challenge also would be terrific training fodder for a facial-recognition algorithm designed to account for aging or to estimate a person's age, as Wired noted.
For what it's worth, Facebook claimed it had nothing to do with starting the meme, but we know all about Facebook's relationship with data mining and its relationship with the truth. It's hard to prove, but even harder to disprove. And it'd be silly to imagine that it isn't happening to some degree or another, somewhere, somehow.
There's an old adage (by internet standards, anyway) that, "If you're not paying for the product, you are the product." While that truism may be a tad reductive, it reflects the broader truth in action: Your data is a resource and someone is using it for profit, even though you won't see a dime and have no say in what that data will ultimately be used to do. For now, the solution might seem as simple as not posting the meme or not using the app, or trying not to mind the exploitation. After all, why should you care?
But as the trend accelerates and spreads across the digital landscape, it will only get harder for all of us to avoid generating data that, once it's fed to the robots, may put your fellow humans out of a job, or worse. It's already pretty much impossible to avoid. Short of burning down the internet and starting fresh (or abolishing the profit motive), sweeping privacy regulation and aggressive fines and taxation may be our only chance to slow the snowball as it rolls.
In the meantime, you can rest assured that your paranoia is at least justified.

Trichome Financial, led by Michael Ruscetta, will only lend to Canadian firms at first but wants to develop a structure that will allow it to lend elsewhere
By Esteban Duarte, Kristine Owram and Paula Sambo
Debt financing has been relatively rare in the volatile pot industry, where companies have typically relied on equity to raise funds as traditional bankers shied away from the space. Tijana Martin/The Canadian Press
Trichome Financial Corp., a company led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. alumnus Michael Ruscetta, is readying a $100 million (US$75 million) war chest to dive into the business of debt financing for cannabis companies.
Toronto-based Trichome is planning to raise between $25 million (US$18.8 million) and $35 million of new equity, adding to $15 million already raised by partners, managers and some investors, Ruscetta said in an interview at Bloomberg's offices in Toronto. In the second quarter, the firm will also start raising $50 million for a fund that will co-invest with Trichome in cannabis debt transactions.
Debt financing has been relatively rare in the volatile pot industry, where companies have typically relied on equity to raise funds as traditional bankers shied away from the space. Some of the bigger cannabis companies are beginning to offer convertible debt. Canopy Growth Corp., Aurora Cannabis Inc. and Tilray Inc. — the industry's largest companies — have issued $1.3 billion of such securities, but they have yet to issue a straight bond.

And so there's a whole ecosystem here," said Ruscetta, who was co-head of Goldman Sachs' Canada Special Situations Group between 2006 and 2008.
Financing Supply
In the cannabis industry "We've got nothing, right? We're kind of at the very start of banks lending to the Canopys and Auroras," he added. "But they're kind of doing that because there's other business for them to get involved in them."
Trichome is already financing cannabis companies' supply, taking receivables as a guarantee, he said. The company is seeking to expand into financing mergers and acquisitions and restructurings later on. It's targeting internal rates of return at around 15 per cent, though that could vary if leverage is added, he said.
Trichome, whose largest shareholder is pot brands company Origin House, plans to go public via a reverse takeover on the TSX Venture Exchange in the spring. The company will only lend to Canadian firms at first but is looking to develop a structure that will allow it to lend elsewhere, including the U.S. where pot is still illegal at the federal level, Ruscetta said.
Smaller Firms
The firm's focus is lending to all cannabis firms except for the 10 largest producers, as they are already well supported by the banks, he said.
Trichome announced Tuesday it will proceed with the issuance of subscription receipts that turn into common shares once all the paperwork on the reverse takeover is complete, the company said in a statement.
Before joining Trichome in 2018, Ruscetta managed the RCM Special Situations Fund. He previously was managing director of Amaranth Advisors (Canada) ULC, a multi-strategy investment fund as well as investment banker at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

The Business Process Engine controls the flow of a process at a high level between applications. This executes flows based on the outcome of different operations, runs jobs and allocates tasks to users. The Business Process Designer is the tool that allows these types of flow to be created and modified in a similar visual way as the above. The two design tools work together, for example drilling down into a user task that is implemented with an application flow will automatically navigate to the Application Process Designer.
The screenshot below is shows an example if an inter-branch transfer process. The orange symbols represent user tasks that are generally implemented with small applications, such as selecting items to transfer from one store to another, and the green symbols represent jobs, such as printing a transfer note.
The Business Process Designer is also the tool that is used to produce custom processes associated with Order Orchestration.

Reframing the Family Portrait: The Surrogate Mother in U.S. Theatre and Film 1939–1963

Reframing the Family Portrait: The Surrogate Mother in U.S. Theatre and Film, 1939–1963 investigates the U.S. plays, films, and musicals of this period that abound with heroines who mother children to whom they are not genetically tied. This dissertation asks why such a figure was so resonant in this era between the beginning of World War II and the emergence of more radical 1960s politics. Newly in the spotlight as a romantic protagonist, the "surrogate mother," as I have chosen to call her, re-envisions the archetypal mother through a contemporizing lens, distinctive in her mother/not-mother status. Critical analysis of Penny Serenade (1941), Blossoms in the Dust (1941), The Sound of Music (1959), South Pacific (1949), Auntie Mame (1955/1956/1958), Mame (1966), Tomorrow, the World (1943/44), Anna and the King of Siam (1946), and The King and I (1951) reveals a deeply intertwined relationship between this character and larger historic forces. Her appearance coincides with a dramatic rise and reimagining of adoption, an intense cultural and political valorization of domesticity and conventional gender roles, and the mobilization of adoption metaphors by charitable organizations and in international relations. This metaphor is literalized in the adoption of foreign and/or mixed-race children by white U.S. Americans, facilitated through foundations such as Pearl Buck's Welcome House. The same metaphor is put to use too to frame U.S. international intervention during the Cold War as maternal rescue and protection. Amidst international and national tensions, the surrogate mother embodies and ambivalently resolves three central anxieties of her era: modernity (as colloquially intended), domesticity, and U.S. imperialism.

US presents new Central Asia strategy
A meeting of the C5+1. Photo from the Twitter account @SecPompeo
The US State Department has revealed its new regional strategy for Central Asia. The document was published on the department's website.
It was earlier reported that the strategy had been presented to the region's foreign ministers in the course of US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's recent visit to Tashkent.
The US government pledges to promote regional cooperation in Central Asia. Among other things, it will do this by supporting the development of a unified electric grid in the region (such a grid was established during the era of the Soviet Union, but following the disconnection of several countries from the grid in the 2000s, its effectiveness was reduced). The United States will also continue to organise joint military training exercises with members of the region's armed forces.
Cooperation with Central Asian nations in the sphere of counter-terrorism and counter-extremism will also continue, including through working together with local law enforcement organs and border services. According to State Department statistics, the United States has invested over $90m into strengthening border security in Central Asia and training border personnel.
The strategy also covers the promotion of cooperation between Central Asian states and Afghanistan in energy, trade and other spheres.
In addition, the US will support the development of civil society in the region's countries and reforms aimed at strengthening the rule of law.
According to information from the State Department, to date the USA has provided over $9bn in direct assistance to support economic development, democratic reforms, security and humanitarian needs in the region. The private sector in the US has invested more than $31bn, leading to the creation of thousands of jobs. The United States, the report notes, has also influenced the extension of over $50bn in credit, loans and technical assistance as part of international credit programmes.

Tucker Carlson: Pointing out my 'white privilege' is a 'racist attack'
Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Sunday said that liberals were making a "racist attack" by pointing out that "white privilege" exists in America.
During an interview on Fox News, Carlson noted that conservative columnist Kurt Schlichter had been criticized for a recent column claiming what people thought was white privilege was "just me being better than you."
"I mean, it's silly on its face," the Fox News host opined. "Some white people are privileged, some aren't. Some black people are, some aren't. It's strikes me as, by definition, a racist attack in that it's making a generalization -- a negative one -- based on skin color."
"Absolutely," Schlichter insisted. "Absolutely, it's un-American and immoral. It makes you forever and forever stuck in one category."
"All of us have worked, all of us have achieved something," he continued. "That is how we measure character, that's how we measure what the value of a person is, not some arbitrary category imposed by some ponytailed grad students who have taken too many gender study seminars."
"That is just so fantastic," Carlson smiled.
"Privilege is designed so its not an argument, so you can't change your mind," Schlichter explained. "You can't come and say, here's fact that should totally change your perspective, and have them say, 'Wow, I was wrong. Gee, Tucker, I'm not going to evaluate you because some great uncle came from Copenhagen.' This is designed to shut down arguments."

Lets just say I'm Crazy about RC! Here you will find purposeful products designed to be multi functional, durable, and in many cases to provide a solution to a problem I have had in the past. Coming soon to my store are some RC car HD and FPV camera mounting solutions as well as more quadcopter and other useful designs.
This kit includes all of the carbon fiber frame components as well as all of the neccessary hardware to fully assemble the frame. We even include special M3x10mm screws to use with the landing legs and your motors.
At it's heart the Craze 310 is an acrobatic quad. However, with a quick install of an FPV cam and VTX onto the front and rear of the top main plate, it can easily turn in to an awesome FPV machine! Whether your flying acro or FPV, you can install the vibration isolated Mobius camera mount on to the top of the top plate and capture all your antics jello free. Depending on how you build this quad you could also more permanently install a VTX under the top plate and mount your antenna to the fixed mount location using a short extension cable.
We designed this quad to do double duty. So far every quad I have owned, I wanted to fly FPV, and I wanted to mount the Mobius to it to capture my flights (without major jello). That has been challenging with many of them because especially the ACRO quads are not designed to readily support FPV gear and HD cameras.
The recommended power train on this quad is a good 20A ESC along with 1900kv motors. This gives you great power on 3S with a 7x4.5 prop or even an 8x4.5 prop. For 4S running most motors around 1900kv will limit you with a 7x4.5 prop. We get about 5 and 1/2 minutes of fast forward FPV flight on a 3S 2,200mah battery. That battery is powering all of our FPV gear as well which includes a 200mw VTx, OSD, and camera. You will want at least a 30C battery, and preferably 45C or higher.
This video was recorded at 720p 60fps using a Mobius mounted to the vibration dampened camera plate. There are a couple of crashes where the props broke mid air. We were using gemfan knock offs 7x4.5. There was zero damage to the quad other then the broken props in both crashes and every crash we have had since then with this quad. It is a very tough frame and even the landing gear have not broken. We now use an HQ 7x4.5 prop and have not had one break in flight.

'Action needed to tackle Colwyn Bay's social problems'
MILLIONS of pounds to revamp Colwyn Bay must be used to address social problems in the town if the Bay is to be turned around.
Clwyd-West AM Darren Millar says it is vital any regeneration funding targeting Colwyn Bay addresses social problems and not just gives the town a facelift.
Around £20 million has been made available since Colwyn Bay and Rhyl were named as strategic regeneration areas, qualifying as priority hot-spots for Assembly and European funding.
Colwyn Bay is also in the midst of council and Assembly regeneration plans under Conwy's Bay Life Initiative and the Assembly's 2016 North Wales Coast plans.
To regenerate the town, the council plan to establish offices in the town bringing 600 staff to the centre. A sporting centre of excellence is planned for Eirias Park; a new hotel at the Civic Hall and an improved waterfront and sea defences between Rhos-on-Sea and Colwyn Bay.
Although the Baylife initiative lists education and health care as central to the regeneration effort, Mr Millar says Colwyn Bay must concentrate on improving the Bay's social prospects rather than giving the town a paint job.
"My biggest fear, and what we've seen in Rhyl over the years is there has been a lot of cash pumped into Rhyl, millions and millions of pounds, and while the local environment might look better, it has not made a great deal of difference to the social problems," said Mr Millar.
"Tens of millions of pounds hasn't made one bit of difference to the social problems and deprivation in Rhyl's West End, it is still the poorest area in Wales.
"We've got to make sure we take this opportunity to really deal with not just the problems with the fabric of the area, but the social problems as well."
The AM's fears follow an Assembly report indicating 16% of Colwyn Bay's Glyn ward is claiming housing benefit and 30% claiming benefits. Around 74% of residents in the town didn't feel safe after dark.
Speaking after a meeting with the Old Colwyn East Residents'Association in Old Colwyn, Mr Millar said it was important both the Assembly and Conwy County Council consult community groups to ensure money was well spent.
"It is difficult to pin point one thing [in Rhyl] it could be down to a lack of vision or lack of consultation with local people; you've got people sat in offices away from the ground without engaging with the local community. I don't know if that has happened in Rhyl, but I suspect that is part of the problem."
He added: "It was an issue in Conwy, certainly some of the groups I've spoken to [in the Colwyn Bay area] have felt left out. But to be fair to the council, they are trying to address that."

It is always an interesting task to decorate the garden with variety of plants but its even more interesting to adorn it with other elements to make it look unique, and all the garden lovers will agree with me! This blog is all about the simple things you can do to make your backyard lawn or garden in the backyard look interesting and unique and more enjoyable to look at and a fun place to be than to just make it a place with just trees and plants. The ideas listed below are cost effective and simple that you can do it on your own at home and it will even entertain kids to help you during summer as they get to enjoy their fun in their backyard of their home.
You can coat the planters with glow in the dark paint and they will look beautiful in the dark as they will glow and make the entire place glowing in the dark and will look unique unlike other dark and dull gardens, and it will be fun and interesting to do it too. You can also paint the stones with similar paint like bugs or simple paint them and leave along the pathway to make it look glowing and beautiful.
You can spray paint orb of different sizes with looking glass mirror like paint to make the garden look beautiful and these added beauty will look like garden charms that are added in the garden space. They will reflect sunlight and make the place like shimmering and beautiful in light.
This is another fantastic idea to add mirror on the fence where you can simply nail the mirror to the fence of the garden and they will look really nice and different, and will make the small gardens appear bigger and will radiate sunlight and reflect all the beautiful things in your garden. you can place the mirror in front of beautiful flower beds or a fountain or something attractive to make it look highlighted.
Simply make use of a colorful parasol and mount it in a corner or in any place you think it will look attractive and you can place some chairs beneath it and it will look beautiful. These kind of umbrellas will not only provide shade but will also add glamour, color and attraction to the garden.
You can mount a chalkboard to the fence where your little one can unleash their creativity and have a fun time scribbling in the backyard as they enjoy while you water the plants and have some free time. Doesn't kids love to scribble and draw pictures on the board?
You can add various kind of DIY swings in the garden which are easy to make and they will add so much fun and attraction in the garden especially to the kids and this is a old skate board swing where all you need to do is just pierce two holes in the sides and hang it to the tree branch with ropes.
Look at this traditional pallet roped swing that looks enjoyable to this kid as he swings in joy, you can also add cushion to the pallet and make it more comfortable.
This is an old chair that is upcycled as a swing and used in the backyard garden.
You can simply paint the stones with colorful paint and place them near the plants or in heaps near the cement benches of tree trunks and they will look attractive, and beautiful.
Tie ropes between trees like obstacle crossing and kids will love this fun activity in the backyard and will enjoy with their friends as they cross this obstacle with time limits.

// 3. Define the "Chameleon" feature
// -----------------------------------
// (http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_4.x/Skin_SDK/Chameleon)
//
// "Chameleon" is a unique feature available in CKEditor. It makes it possible
// to end users to specify which color to use as the basis for the editor UI.
// It is enough to set config.uiColor to any color value and voila, the UI is
// colored.
//
// The only detail here is that the skin itself must be compatible with the
// Chameleon feature. That's because the skin CSS files are the responsible to
// apply colors in the UI and each skin do that in different way and on
// different places.
//
// Implementing the Chameleon feature requires a bit of JavaScript programming.
// The CKEDITOR.skin.chameleon function must be defined. It must return the CSS
// "template" to be used to change the color of a specific CKEditor instance
// available in the page. When a color change is required, this template is
// appended to the page holding the editor, overriding styles defined in the
// skin files.
//
// The "$color" placeholder can be used in the returned string. It'll be
// replaced with the desired color.
CKEDITOR.skin.chameleon = function( editor, part ) {
// Use this function just to avoid having to repeat all these rules on
// several places of our template.
function getLinearBackground( definition ) {
return 'background:-moz-linear-gradient(' + definition + ');' + // FF3.6+
'background:-webkit-linear-gradient(' + definition + ');' + // Chrome10+, Safari5.1+
'background:-o-linear-gradient(' + definition + ');' + // Opera 11.10+
'background:-ms-linear-gradient(' + definition + ');' + // IE10+
'background:linear-gradient(' + definition + ');'; // W3C
}
var css;
// The Chameleon feature is available for each CKEditor instance,
// independently. Because of this, we need to prefix all CSS selectors with
// the unique class name of the instance.
//
// CKEditor instances have a unique ID, which is used as class name into
// the outer container of the editor UI (e.g. ".cke_1").
var cssId = '.' + editor.id;
// There are two main "parts" that need the be touched by the Chameleon
// feature: "editor" and "panel".

This topic describes how a Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) Plan Administrator uses the Single Sign-On (SSO) service to manage user access to PCF apps, for users with accounts in the internal user store or with external identity providers.
The SSO service has an Internal Users admin pane that lets you manage user accounts in PCF's internal user store: invite and delete users, request users to reset their passwords, and update user attributes and permissions.
Log in to the SSO dashboard at https://p-identity.YOUR-SYSTEM-DOMAIN using your User Account and Authentication (UAA) administrator credentials. Find these credentials in your Pivotal Elastic Runtime tile in Ops Manager under the Credentials tab.
Click the plan name and select Manage Identity Providers from the drop-down menu.
Click Internal User Store and select Internal Users from the drop-down menu. This brings you to the admin screen.
Invite users by clicking Invite User, entering their email address, and clicking Send Invite.
Search existing users by entering a value into the search bar and clicking Search. Entering a blank value returns all users in the service plan's internal user store.
Resend an invite to an unverified user by selecting the checkbox next to their username and clicking Resend Invite.
Ask a verified user to reset their password by selecting the checkbox next to their username and clicking Reset Password.
Delete a user by selecting the checkbox next to their username and clicking Delete User.
View information about a user by clicking their username.
Update a user profile including their Email, First Name, Last Name, and Phone Number by entering the updated values and clicking Save User.
View user permissions by clicking the Permissions tab.
Update user permissions by selecting the corresponding permissions and clicking Save User.
For each external identity provider that the SSO service connects to, a users admin pane (example: Okta SSO Users) lets you browse, delete, and update PCF permissions for user accounts from external identity providers.
Log in to the SSO dashboard at https://p-identity.YOUR-SYSTEM-DOMAIN using your User Account and Authentication (UAA) administrator credentials. You can find these credentials in your Pivotal Elastic Runtime tile in Ops Manager under the Credentials tab.
Click the external identity provider you want to manage and select the Users choice for the provider from the drop-down menu. This brings you to the users admin pane.
You may also use the UAA CLI (UAAC) to manage users for the SSO service. You can use this approach to programatically create new internal users or assign groups (scopes) to any user (whether internal or external). These operations require administrative access through an admin client that must be configured by an administrator for the service plan.
Note: Clients and Groups for SSO should be created directly through the SSO UI or through application manifest bootstrapping. Do not create these through UAAC, as additional metadata is required for their usage by SSO.
Use the uaac target AUTH-DOMAIN command to target your service plan. Auth Domain setting you entered when you created the service plan.
Record the App ID and App Secret from your admin client created using the steps here. You will need to give your admin client scim.read to read user information. You can give your admin client either scim.write to create users and modify group (scope) memberships or scim.create to only create users.
Run uaac token client get ADMIN-APP-ID -s ADMIN-APP-SECRET to authenticate and obtain an access token for the admin client for your service plan. Replace ADMIN-APP-ID with your App ID and ADMIN-APP-SECRET with your App Secret. UAAC stores the token in ~/.uaac.yml.
Use the uaac contexts command to display the users and applications authorized by your service plan, and the permissions granted to each user and application. Check that you have the sufficient scim.write or scim.create permissions under the scope section.
Run uaac member add GROUP USERNAME to add any group to any user (internal or external). Replace GROUP and USERNAME with appropriate information.
Run uaac member delete GROUP USERNAME to delete any group from to any user (internal or external). Replace GROUP and USERNAME with appropriate information.

The recent case of Tarantino v. Galvano, 2017 ONSC 3535, raises a variety of issues familiar to estate litigators – powers of attorney, capacity, quantum meruit claims, the duty to account and the rules surrounding the removal of an estate's executor.
In this case the deceased, Rosa Filippo Galvano ("Rosa") had two daughters, Nellie Galvano ("Nellie") and Giuseppina Bucci ("Giuseppina"), who died in 2007. Giuseppina had two daughters, Rosa Pignatelli and Tecla Tarantino (together, the "Grandchildren"), who are co-executors of Rosa's estate with Nellie. After her father died in 1986, Nellie lived with and looked after her mother Rosa for the next 26 years, until Rosa's death on February 20, 2012. As Justice Kristjanson states, "Nellie cared for Rosa at home, as Rosa became incontinent, as she could no longer walk, as she could no longer speak…and as she ultimately died in Nellie's arms…This onerous burden was undertaken with love and attention."
Rosa and Nellie owned the home together, with Rosa holding an 80.38% interest and Nellie holding a 19.62% interest. In her 2005 will, Rosa provided that her interest in the home would be sold and the proceeds brought into the estate. Nellie had a right of first refusal to purchase the home. Nellie was also Rosa's attorney for property and personal care.
On March 3, 2008, on the advice and with the assistance of a solicitor, Nellie entered into an agreement between herself and Rosa which transferred Rosa's interest in the home and 75% of Rosa's pension income to Nellie, in exchange for Nellie acting as a caregiver for Rosa for the duration of Rosa's lifetime (the "Agreement"). The Agreement was signed by Nellie personally and in her capacity as attorney for property for Rosa.
In January 2013, the Grandchildren commenced an application (which was converted into an action in 2016) against Nellie. Among other things, the Grandchildren sought an accounting from Nellie with respect to Rosa's income and expenses, to set aside the house transfer, and to recover damages to the estate, including occupancy rent, from Nellie. Nellie raised a quantum meruit defence for services rendered and improvements to the house, and a counterclaim seeking declarations regarding Nellie's entitlement to the house, the value of her services, and expenses.
While the facts raise several noteworthy issues, this blog will focus upon one particularly interesting question which was addressed by the court: in entering into the Agreement using the power of attorney for property, did Nellie breach her fiduciary duties under the Substitute Decisions Act (the "SDA")? The court found that although Nellie upheld her end of the Agreement, the Agreement itself was void and the transfers of the house and of Rosa's pension income were therefore invalid. The court had several reasons for reaching this conclusion.
First, because the Agreement was signed by Nellie personally and in her capacity as Rosa's attorney for property, there was an implicit acknowledgement by Nellie that she had a fiduciary duty at the time of signing. Second, Rosa was incapable of managing her property and so her power of attorney had come into effect at the time the Agreement was executed.
In addition, the court reviewed the fiduciary obligations of an attorney for property and personal care as set out in sections 32(1) and 45 of the SDA, respectively. Justice Kristjanson then went on to note that subsection 66(3) of the SDA provides that the attorney for personal care should make decisions in accordance with wishes expressed when the person was capable, and otherwise, should make decisions in accordance with the person's best interests. Subsection 66(4) of the SDA requires the attorney to take into consideration various factors in deciding what is in the incapable person's best interests, such as the values and beliefs that the guardian (attorney) knows the person held when capable and believes the person would still act on if capable, as well as the person's current wishes, if they can be ascertained.
The court concluded that pursuant to section 37 of the SDA, Nellie could only enter into the Agreement to transfer the house and pension income if it was "reasonably necessary" to provide for Rosa's care, which it was not. As a fiduciary, an attorney for property is obligated to act only for the benefit of the grantor, putting her own interests aside. An attorney is also prohibited from using their authority for their own benefit unless "it is done with the full knowledge and consent of the donor". Rosa lacked capacity at the time of the Agreement and the transfer of the house and pension income were therefore not done with Rosa's full knowledge and consent.
The transfer of title to the house was thus set aside, and Nellie was, among other things, ordered to account for expenditures made in respect of Rosa's care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interestingly, Nellie's quantum meruit claim was established. Rosa received excellent care for several years in very challenging circumstances (a benefit conferred) and Nellie was correspondingly deprived – she closed her businesses and worked full time for the benefit of her mother. It was further held that there was no juristic reason for the enrichment. Nellie believed she was keeping up her end of the bargain, even though the court voided the Agreement. In the absence of the Agreement, however, the court found that the services must still be acknowledged and paid for, to avoid an unjust enrichment.
In reviewing this case we are reminded that an incapable person's best interests are absolutely paramount and although powers of attorney are often broadly worded, exercising authority as an attorney is always limited by this overriding consideration. I encourage readers to review Tarantino v. Galvano in full, as there are many other relevant issues covered and the decision is well-reasoned and insightful.

"I learned the value of making things by hand and the importance of honouring the manufacturer"
This is a guest post by Sabinna Rachimova, founder of SABINNA.
I founded the ethical womenswear brand SABINNA in 2015, after I graduated from Central Saint Martins with a degree in Fashion Design and Marketing. My goal was to create a brand that challenged the status quo and redefined what sustainable fashion can and should look like without compromising the aesthetic of the garment.
I wanted to create womenswear that puts the focus on the maker, encourages customers to learn more about consciousness and shows that empowering clothes can be colourful and fun.
It was obvious to me from the beginning that handcraft would play a key role in my brand as it's something that has always been incredibly important to me.
My grandmother was the one who taught me how to crochet as a young girl and through that I learned the value of making things by hand and the importance of honouring the manufacturer. I spent many days during my childhood crocheting and creating clothes and accessories by hand so I truly understand the process and how much work goes into it behind the scenes.
Initially the focus at SABINNA has been on womenswear and accessories but soon we realised that there was an opportunity to bring our community together and pass our skills on to them and educate about the value of handcraft items.
We started hosting workshops in our studio in East London to really show how long it takes to create something, whether that's a crochet flower, a beaded brooch or an offcut scrunchie. Our aim was for our customers to leave the studio with something handmade that they'll hopefully hold onto for a really long time because they can now attach emotional value to it and appreciate it more because they're aware of how much work went into creating it.
Making something by hand isn't just a lovely freetime activity but it also teaches us so much: to enjoy the process, mental wellbeing and coming together as a community.
I can't wait to share with you how to create a beautiful flower hair clip for summer.
We're excited to be given this opportunity to share our workshop with knack and fully support their amazing initiative to promote mental wellbeing while getting creative.
Sabinna will be leading knack's July workshop - see more and sign up here.
Sabinna Rachimova is the founder of SABINNA, a sustainable, ethical lifestyle brand for women. As well as designing SABINNA's garments and accessories which are all made in the UK and Austria, she also leads workshops at their Hackney studio.

2016 Presidential Candidates Weigh-In on President Obama's Immigration Action
Posted by Wendy Feliz | May 12, 2015 | Elections, Executive Action
Immigration policy has become a hot topic as the 2016 Presidential primary picks up steam. It is no surprise that the issue of Presidential authority over immigration has taken center stage in recent weeks as Hillary Clinton, Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush have all begun discussing their views around how far the President should have gone with respect to executive action on immigration and what they would do if they were President.
Hilary Clinton said to a group in a public event in Las Vegas last week that she would defend the President's immigration actions and hinted at ways in which she might take them further.
"I will fight to stop partisan attacks on the executive actions that would put DREAMers—including many with us today—at risk of deportation. And…if Congress refuses to act, as President I will do everything possible under the law to go even further. There are more people—like many parents of DREAMers and others with deep ties and contributions to our communities—who deserve a chance to stay. I'll fight for them too.
"The law currently allows for sympathetic cases to be reviewed, but right now most of these cases have no way to get a real hearing. Therefore we should put in place a simple, straightforward, and accessible way for parents of DREAMers and others with a history of service and contribution to their communities to make their case and be eligible for the same deferred action as their children."
Marco Rubio would preserve some, but not all of the President's actions, by removing protections for undocumented parents of U.S. Citizens and permanent residents (DAPA) but keep those in place for recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), according to the Miami Herald:
"The Florida senator, who is already a formal presidential candidate, has said he would do away with DAPA right away if it doesn't die in court first but leave DACA in place at first while pushing Congress to pass immigration legislation.
"At some point, it's going to have to end — that can't become the permanent policy of the United States — but on the short term I've said I won't remove it," Rubio told CNN en Español last month. "I would eliminate DAPA, the new measure, and I would use the position of president to advance a responsible immigration-reform process."
Jeb Bush is harder to pin down. This week, he said that current legal challenges to DACA and DAPA will end the initiatives. When asked directly by a Fox News anchor if he will bring an end to the program he responded "Absolutely, I would. Of course." Later when asked how he would undo it, he said by passing meaningful immigration reform. Without further clarification, however, it is hard to be completely sure what he means. How aggressively would he work to undo the President's actions and does he mean both DACA and DAPA? Or would he leave them intact, if they survive the legal challenges until he could get reform passed?
Perhaps as Bush refines his positions he should call a family meeting.
Ironically in the same interview Bush says "I totally understand why people were upset when Barack Obama with the stroke of a pen through executive action takes unconstitutional actions."
Ironic as both his father and brother used their executive authority to shield immigrants from deportation. Indeed, before President Obama, George Bush Sr. had taken the most aggressive steps, shielding more than a million individuals from possible deportation through the 1990 Family Fairness program. Also, George W. acted four times through executive action to protect immigrants.
As the campaign season continues, what candidates say about the future of President's Obama's executive actions on immigration is important. In the face of an intractable Congress, the President's executive actions have been the one area of policy progress in years. How our next President promises to handle it has implications for the millions who may potentially qualify.

Collection consists of two manuscript volumes written by Count Robert du Mesnil du Buisson, identified on the title page as "Inscriptions, signs, and drawings, collection on jars, pottery, and fragments of plaster found between the Palmyrene Gate and Tower 23, by Count du Mesnil du Buisson." The volumes appear undated, but an in-laid note, "Sur les indications au crayon qu' on retrouve sur ces dossiers," is dated 1959.
The volumes consist mostly of a collection of photographs and drawings documenting the various inscriptions and writings found on jars and other broken crockery at Dura-Europos' Palmyrene Gate and surrounding towers, in Syria. A note on the title page adds, "In appendice, inscriptions and signs found in Tower 25, in the surroundings (I) and in Block B2 (III) or kept in the storehouses of the Mission (II)."
Collection consists of Volume 1 (pages 1-297) and Volume 2 (pages 298-604). The last pages of Volume 2 contain a Table of Contents, which includes: 1. Inscriptions between Palmyrene Gate and Tower 18, L8 2. From Tower 18 3. From K8 4. From Tower 20 5. From K7 6. From Tower 21 7. From J8 8. From Tower 22 9. From J7 10.

Volume 2 also contains Indices of Names, Dates, and Signs.
Count Robert du Mesnil du Buisson (9 April 1895, Champobert, Bourges – 8 April 1986, Caen) was a French historian, soldier, and archeologist. He was noted for his early use of geophysical survey for archaeology. He was son of Auguste, comte du Mesnil du Buisson and Berthe Roussel de Courcy, and married Jeanne Leclerc de Pulligny on 26 June 1923.
He was director of excavations at Qatna (el-Mishrifeh: 1924, 1927–29), Til-Barsip (Tell el-Ahmar: 1927, 1929–31), Hadatu (Arslan Tash, 1928), and was vice-director of excavations at Dura-Europos from 1932 to 1937 coordinated between Yale University led by Clark Hopkins and the French Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres. He discovered the Synagogue of Dura Europos and published on the synagogue's frescos in 1939. Among his other archeological finds were the Baalshamin and the Arslan Tash amulets.
The volumes were received by the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book Manuscript Library as a transfer from the Duke University Classics Dept. in 2017. A bookplate on the items suggests they were originally held by Rostovtzeff-Welles Library in the American Society of Papyrologists.

Chinyere (Chi-chi) Adah Nwanoku, was born in Fulham, London, in 1956 to Michael Nwanoku and the former Margaret Ivey. Her parents had met at a chance encounter at a dance in London, in 1955 and were inseparable from then on and they got married shortly afterwards. The young couple faced prejudice on account of their Interracial relationship at the time, recalling a period in Britain, where signs on Houses, advertising lodging vacancies, would boldly state, "No blacks, no dogs, no Irish". The couple humorously recalled thanking God they didn't have a dog (since they were both black and Irish).

Pushing Boundaries, Mixed-Race Artists Gain Notice
Felicia R. Lee
Heidi Durrow, left, and Fanshen Cox, the co-producers of the Mixed Roots Film and Literary Festival. (Ann Johansson for The New York Times)
Note from Steven F. Riley: Please make sure to view the many reader comments for the article here.
Race Remixed: Articles in this series explore the growing number of mixed-race Americans.
For years Heidi W. Durrow heard the refrain: editors wouldn't publish her novel because readers couldn't relate to a protagonist who was part black and part Danish. But when that novel, "The Girl Who Fell From the Sky," was finally published last year (after about four dozen rejections, said Ms. Durrow, who is, of course, black and Danish), the coming-of-age story landed on best-seller lists.
Today Ms. Durrow finds herself in the elite precincts of The New Yorker and National Public Radio — which a few weeks ago began the Summer Blend Book Club, featuring works about multiracial people…
…"The national images of racially mixed people have dramatically changed just within the last few years, from 'mulattoes' as psychically divided, racially impure outcasts to being hip new millennials who attractively embody the resolution of America's race problem," said Michele Elam, an associate professor of English at Stanford University.
Both images, she said, are wrongheaded and reductive.
Much of the work by mixed-race artists, though certainly not all of it, reveals the fault lines and pressure points that still exist in a rapidly changing America. It is on these rough edges that many multiracial people live, and where many artists find the themes that animate their work: the limits of tolerance, hidden or unacknowledged assumptions about identity, and issues of racial privilege and marginalization.
"These images and narratives are not just entertaining," said Ms. Elam, who is also the author of "The Souls of Mixed Folk: Race, Politics and Aesthetics in the New Millennium." "They can influence, both consciously and unconsciously, how we think about race today in our nation."…
…To support and showcase artists telling their stories of the mixed experience, Ms. Durrow and Fanshen Cox, a biracial actor and Ms. Durrow's best friend, created the Mixed Roots Film and Literary Festival in Los Angeles in 2008…

One in five of the 1,540 people who attended A&E in the three months prior to taking their own lives died within two days of leaving hospital, new figures show.
More than a quarter (30%) of the 5,826 people who died by suicide between 2011 and 2017 in Scotland went to A&E in the three months before their death.
Of these 1,540 people more than a third (36%) – 560 – died within a week of leaving A&E, according to the latest Scottish national statistics on suicide deaths.
Just under one in five people (19%) – 290 – died within two days of leaving A&E and 270 people (18%) died later that week.
The study suggested general health services are filling a gap between psychiatric need and supply but stressed the difficulty of accurately predicting suicide risk.
Nearly three-quarters (73%) of the people who died by suicide in the five-year period either attended hospital, had contact with drug services or were prescribed a mental health drug in the community in the year before their deaths.
Most had no contact with specialised mental health services in the 12 months before they died but 24% were offered a psychiatric outpatient appointment and 13% had been discharged from psychiatric inpatient care.
The report states: "These findings might raise concerns about a possible shortfall between the mental health needs of high risk individuals and the supply of services that meet those needs.
"It is therefore highly likely that some of the shortfall between psychiatric need and supply was filled by a wider range of more generic, non-specialist services.
"Nonetheless, there appears to be a sizeable minority of the 'at risk' population who are not in contact with healthcare services prior to death but who have unmet mental health (and other) needs.
"In responding to the finding of a high prevalence of contact with services… health service planners will want to consider possible improvements to the organisation, reach and delivery of services targeted at groups at high risk of suicide, while healthcare providers will want to consider improvements to the identification, engagement and effective treatment of individuals at high risk.
People living in Scotland's most deprived areas were around three times more likely to take their own lives than those in the most affluent.
The report said this shows the importance of addressing suicide as an "issue of equity, as well as of mental health" and the need for government intervention on inequality.
The need for action by employers was also highlighted, as two thirds (67%) of people were employed at the time of their death.
The majority (73%) of people across Scotland who took their own lives between 2011 and 2017 were men, and almost half of all people who died by suicide in this period were aged 35-54 at the time.
The suicide rate was of 14 people per 100,000.
Rose Fitzpatrick, chair of the Scottish Government's National Suicide Prevention Leadership Group, said: "Every suicide is a tragedy, and suicide prevention is everybody's business.
"I welcome this report, which will make a significant contribution to informing the actions we need to take to further prevent deaths by suicide.

James Jamerson, Forgotten Motown Bassist
Your midday procrastination video. Watch speakers, singers, actors, dancers, musicians, comedians and athletes strut their stuff.
Because one of the most influential bassists never got any credit … and that's downright shameful.
By Nathan Siegel
The Daily Dose AUG 02 2014
Thirty-one years ago today, arguably the best bassist ever died in L.A., aged 47, an alcoholic, severely depressed and out of work for the better part of two decades. The day before, his beloved 1962 Fender Precision Bass — known as "the Funk Machine" — was stolen.
How did James Jamerson, who anchored Motown's famous style and played more number one hits than the Beatles — 30, in case you were wondering — manage to evade the musical radar until so long after his death?
According to most, it was Berry Gordy Jr. The cutthroat businessman behind the iconic Motown record label couldn't let Jamerson be picked off by competition. "Motown was its own genre of music. And James was Motown," said the late Bob Babbit, fellow member of the Funk Brothers, the core group of uncredited background musicians for the vast majority of Motown hits.
Lying on his back, on the floor, he proceeded to deliver an unrivaled masterpiece of low-end love.
More likely, he was just plain greedy. (None of the Funk Brothers made enough money to survive without doing graveyard gigs at local clubs).
To be fair, most record companies in the '60s didn't credit background musicians, but Motown's negligence was extraordinary. They didn't even ask Jamerson to play at their 25th anniversary. That's like giving Marx the boot from the first annual Commie-Con©. To add insult to humiliation, he was then denied backstage access. Scalping a ticket, Jamerson claimed a back row bleacher seat. "God knows what went through his mind," said Babbit. I'd guess, "Fuck this."
But placing blame now is a waste of space. Let's celebrate the funk.
Jamerson wholesale changed the face of bass playing. Before him, most upright jazz bassists played a follow-the-leader style. They stayed "inside the box." When he landed on scene — during the formative years of electric bass — Jamerson released the instrument (if not himself) from its backdrop position " …bringing it to a height of creativity and freedom, experimentation and fearlessness," said Smokey Robinson, yet to be reached. Transferring standup bass technique to the electric four-stringer, he used only his index finger, dubbed "the hook." Jamerson's unmistakably round sound and lavish use of open notes, flat fives and chromatics "has influenced every bassist since, whether they know it or not," said Tony Franklin, bassist for supergroup The Firm.
If I had only 10 words, I'd quote his son: "James was to bass what Jimi Hendrix was to guitar."
But unsung heroes aren't anomalies. I'd be damned if Thorfinn Karlsefni was ever inducted into the Colonists' Hall of Fame. And while Jamerson may have been a "tormented genius" during his lifetime, his legacy is being given royal treatment. He was the first musician inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame under the "sideman" category. Hordes of contemporary bassists have rushed to acknowledge his influence. To be sure, Pastorius, Graham, Clarke, etc. are all standing on Jamerson's shoulders.
And rightfully so. While recording Marvin Gaye's seminal "What's Happening Brother," Jamerson was dragged to a recording session from a local blues bar, wasted drunk. Lying on his back, on the floor, he proceeded to deliver an unrivaled masterpiece of low-end love. As James famously said, in a (debatably) different context, "The dirt keeps the funk."
Now put on some headphones and crank the bass (Jamerson first appears @ 1:23 and "What's Happening Brother" begins @ 6:35).

Fountain City Soccer
Kansas City, known as the City of Fountains, has soccer galore. For now, we will devote most of our attention to Sporting Kansas City of MLS, but we will expand our coverage as resources permit. Feel free to let us know about something you think we should be talking about at alan (at) fountaincitysoccer dot com.
"Throwaway" Lineup Gets Result at Home Against Sounders
Thoughts from today's surprise draw against the Seattle Sounders. They are my own, unless cited, and should reflect upon no one except myself, and any resemblance to smart things is purely coincidental.
A lot of the talk the last few days about today's game has centered around the "throwaway" nature of the game. No one wants the regular starters to get hurt before the US Open Cup final on Wednesday. Benny Feilhaber and Matt Besler got yellows in Houston making them unavailable because of card accumulation. Tim Melia, after playing in Houston, got held out today. Basically, hardly anyone gave Sporting KC much of a chance against the Sounders.
I say "hardly anyone," because the reserve players being called on to play the match gave themselves a chance. In fact, in the locker room after the game, midfielder Mikey Lopez said they used the discussion of the throwaway game as motivation. Frankly, combined with their normal "trying to show the coach I'm worthy of more playing time" effort, it was good enough for a draw. Except for a few unlucky bounces, it could have been good enough for a win.
Something else it does is make Peter Vermes's job that much harder to pick a lineup down the stretch. Let's just say it's a problem Peter doesn't mind having.
In about the 85th minute, SKC goalkeeping coach John Pascarella was dismissed from the team's bench. Steve and I saw him in the locker room after the game and asked him if he'd gotten sent off, and JP said it was pretty much an annual thing. I asked him what he said to get sent off and he said, "He was offside." One thing I love about JP (and most of the coaches), they'll tell you what they think, not what you want to hear.
If there was one moment you could look to and say, "That's the moment I knew Sporting might get a result," you'd probably point to the 74th minute entrance of forward Dom Dwyer.
Dom is one of those players that changes a match just by being on the pitch. He seems to make the players around him better just by his work rate and his passion. He's also never satisfied with his own effort and always wants more.
It showed in his goal in the 79th minute to tie the match at 1-1. After the match, Dom described the goal this way:
"It was a great play between Jake [Peterson] and Amadou [Dia] down the line. Jake got Amadou in behind and, in training every week, he shows that he can split that ball in-between the goalkeeper and the center backs. I checked away and checked far post and he sent it in perfectly. I just had to slide in and run it into the goal."
Dom said the coaches were telling him to simply come in and make a difference and try to get something in the game. He did that, but again, wasn't satisfied. He said, "I got a bit, but I wanted another one and should have gotten another one. I'm pleased to get a goal, but I definitely wanted another one there."
Next up for the club is the US Open Cup final on Wednesday at PPL Park in Chester, PA. If a full-strength Sporting KC lineup goes into Philly and plays the way they've shown they're capable of, popular wisdom says they will light Philly up like a Christmas tree.
While it may be popular wisdom, Philly is also a team that really has nothing to lose. They're in ninth place in the Eastern Conference and don't really have a realistic shot at making the playoffs. Teams like that are scary in that they have a knack for doing the seemingly impossible.

Die Maratona d'Italia (voller Name seit 1999 Maratona d'Italia memorial Enzo Ferrari) ist ein Marathon in der Provinz Modena, der seit 1988 stattfindet. Seit 1999 startet das Rennen in Maranello und führt durch das Zentrum von Modena nach Carpi.
Geschichte
Der Lauf wurde zum achtzigsten Jahrestag der Teilnahme des im nahegelegenen Correggio geborenen Marathonläufers Dorando Pietri an den Olympischen Spielen 1908 (bei denen er auf tragische Weise den Sieg verpasste) von den Vereinen La Patria, Atletica Cibeno und A.S. Maratona d'Italia ins Leben gerufen. Zum 100. Geburtstag von Enzo Ferrari 1998 suchten die Veranstalter die Zusammenarbeit mit Piero Ferrari, den Gemeinden Maranello, Formigine, Modena, Soliera und Carpi, der Provinz Modena, der Region Emilia-Romagna und der Accademia Militare di Modena. Im Jahr darauf wurde der jetzige Kurs von Maranello zum traditionellen Ziel in Carpi etabliert.
Seit 2001 gehört zur Veranstaltung ein Marathon für Speedskater.
Bislang wurden sechsmal die italienischen Marathonmeisterschaften im Rahmen der Maratona d'Italia ausgetragen (1991, 1996, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2008).
Strecke
Der Start befindet sich am Firmensitz der Firma Ferrari in Maranello. Nach einer kurzen Schleife durch das Zentrum dieser Stadt geht es über Formigine in das Zentrum von Modena. Nach einer Schleife durch die Altstadt, bei der die Piazza Grande mit dem Dom San Geminiano und seinem Turm Ghirlandina überquert wird, geht es auf die zweite Hälfte der Strecke, die zunächst über die Secchia führt, dann Soliera quert und auf der Piazza Martiri in Carpi endet.
Der Kurs ist nach den Richtlinien von AIMS und IAAF vermessen, jedoch wegen des starken Gefälles zwischen Start und Ziel (ungefähr 100 Höhenmeter) nicht bestenlistentauglich.

The Bird with Four Feathers: Introduction
THE BIRD WITH FOUR FEATHERS, INTRODUCTION: FOOTNOTES
1 The associations must have been commonplace to an audience closely familiar with the Nine Lessons from Job found in the Dirge (the source for the refrain here and for Pety Job). Walter Skirlaw, bishop of Durham (1370-1410), prefixed to his will a typical lamentation that "all knowledge and glory, like flowers in the field, was [sic] destined to die and . . . all rational creatures, after the flowing of the course of their lives, come back to the sad thought of fearful death" (paraphrased by Jonathan Hughes, Pastors and Visionaries: Religion and Secular Life in Late Medieval Yorkshire [Woodbridge, Suffolk: Boydell, 1988], p. 268).
2 The Mirror of the Periods of Man's Life, ed. F. J. Furnivall, Hymns to the Virgin and Christ, EETS o.s. 24 (1868; rpt. New York: Greenwood, 1969), pp. 58-78.
3 See A. C. Spearing, "Central and Displaced Sovereignty in Three Medieval Poems," Review of English Studies, n.s. 33 (1982), 247-61; for the form in Renaissance works, see Alistair Fowler, Triumphal Forms: Structural Patterns in Elizabethan Poetry (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1970).
4 The naming of God's power and mercy occurs at either end of the "middle" section of 88 lines. The first one accompanies the bird's description of her second feather, Beauty (line 91). The second reference to God's "Myghtes Most" comes, appropriately, in the discussion on Strength (line 153); the additional mention of mercy (line 159) implies a strength greater than brute power.
5 The poet's structural use of the number eight might also participate in this naming of God; see Peck, pp. 9-21.
6 The pairing of Bird and Pety Job may have come about through William Baron, who is associated with two manuscripts. The Baron arms appear on the present first leaf of Bodley 596 (the earliest manuscript of Bird), added there apparently after it had lost its opening 127 folios. William Baron was a feoffee of John Shirley in 1444, and his granddaughter was professed into the nunnery at Dartford in 1478. Sometime between then and his death in 1484 William bestowed Douce 322 to Dartford for her use. (I am grateful to Doyle for providing this information.) A discussion of the cultural setting for Douce 322, Harley 1706, and Trinity R.3.21 appears in the Introduction to Pety Job.
7 Praising its "pithy phrase and vigorous description," Brown places The Bird with Four Feathers in an anthology of fourteenth-century verse, beside the Vernon series, and comments that, despite the poem's allegorical quality, "its refrain and its moral observations relate it . . . closely to many of the Vernon poems" (p. xxi).
8 The monk may have had before him a complete version that had been edited into 12-line stanzas; the fragment preserved in Bodl. Lat. misc. e 85 C which appears to derive from the same version C ends imperfectly, but for what it has, it includes the stanzas omitted in the commonplace book. Rigg comments that the abridgement in the Trinity O.2.38 copy "may have been intentional, but the omission of [lines] 121-32 [the account of the third feather] . . . was certainly a mistake" ([1968], p. 53).
9 The text of a late sixteen-line lyric (Parce mihi O Lord Moste Excellent) suggests that one's hope in repeating the refrain is to see God's hidden face. Job does in fact see it in the illustrations to Pety Job (Plates 5 and 6). Compare the gloss by Chaucer's Parson, CT X(1) 183-84 (Riverside Chaucer, p. 291).
from: Moral Love Songs and Laments 1998
Many Middle English moral lyrics open with an ambling narrator. Strolling in an outdoor place, unconfined by the walls of constructed dwellings, this person sets aside his daily affairs and momentarily locates the sacramental in the midst of a leafy "church," with an architrave of tree branches and a choir of birdsong. The man who is responsive will learn something here that the hubbub of human commerce normally obscures from understanding. He will listen to the language of birds, and properly attuned to its chirpy, cryptic repetitions, his heart will absorb and retain sacred truths.
Such a premise underlies The Bird with Four Feathers. The sound pattern of the Latin refrain "Parce michi, Domine!" mimics a birdsong tweeted to the auditor at regular intervals. As a sound different from English, the Latin words of penance C at the heart of the poet's message C can masquerade as chirps from an avian plaintiff. Upon hearing the words uttered in a mournful fashion, the auditor is curious: who has harmed the bird by plucking her four feathers, and why does she sing this song? The bird's response insists that the answer cannot be a simple verbal translation of the song; it may be uttered only with heartfelt pain, and the auditor must likewise feel the pain in order to comprehend the meaning. The words represent a deeply experienced condition, and one's utterance of them requires devotion and sensient understanding.
A penitential poem, The Bird with Four Feathers is designed to stir Christian contrition in a reader who will use it to meditate upon mankind's need of God's mercy. The bird, who is female in the fictional prologue, becomes an entirely human male in its sad, moralized account of four lost feathers. The bird's tale allows the poet to teach behind an avian mask, while the narrator taking his outdoor stroll becomes a figure for the reader. The bracketed structure of [narrator {bird} narrator] puts the heart of the painful experience at some distance from the reader, that is, within the life of the bird, but the process of reading and understanding the unfolding, ever-deepening meaning of parce is intended to bring the message home to the reader, who will see that he intimately shares the condition of the everyman bird.
Compared to the bird, the narrator projects a consciousness barren of experience, a naïveté in the natural world that must be informed so that a newly acquired knowledge of his own life, death, and sinfulness will henceforth guide his self-conscious actions. He too will lose his four worldly attributes C youth, beauty, strength, and riches. Possessing them, he is distracted from true self-knowledge; only in losing them will he finally understand that they kept him from God. The poet asks that the reader consider this fact in advance, lest it take him unawares. The poet assumes, too, that every bearer of such wisdom will perforce sing the charm-like incantation "Parce mihi, Domine!" C "Spare me, Lord!" The song is taken to be the spontaneous reflex of a Christian awareness of one's primal condition, that is, of knowing one exists not just in the moment but as part of an expansive and purposeful plan.
The author of The Bird with Four Feathers assumes that emotions have the power to effect spiritual change. The bird is reluctant to reveal her inner pain because verbal expression will renew it. But she agrees to speak if the listener promises to absorb the message inwardly. An understanding of pathos that is both aesthetic and psychological is in evidence here. Words serve merely as vehicles to transport emotion from speaker to listener. They are not therapy for the speaker so much as for the hearer, who is expected to consume inwardly the content. The words are efficacious and healing in the most literal sense. It is quite clear, moreover, that the human capacity to respond emotionally C which is central to the redemptive process C derives ultimately from God. The first epithet for the Deity is, significantly, "Kyng of Pytee" (line 13), and the poet's penultimate line expresses the point of "parce" C to win divine pity. The speaker's sincerity is designed to move not just human listeners, but also God, the source of all compassion.
Outdoors, away from human society, the narrator learns about his true inner nature. His forested surroundings suggest the primal quality of this experience, and even his listening pose foreshadows the message he will hear. Supine amidst the flowers, he hears the cry of the featherless bird, and the lesson turns out to be about man's likeness to the ephemeral spring flower (stanza 19). The poem circles from the physical floral landscape engulfing the narrator to a moral symbolism of each individual withering like a blossom. 1 The supine narrator is both man refreshed by life and man doomed to die and return to the earth. In the only two illustrations of the poem found in manuscripts, the narrator's reclining pose is prominent (Plates 3 and 4).
In its lyric and religious conception The Bird with Four Feathers is carefully crafted, and its technical aspects display a similar artistic precision. As a refrain poem its stanzas of varying length (eight, twelve, sixteen, and twenty lines) are unusual. Overall there are twenty stanzas, an interesting round number; the bird's disquisition centers upon the number four; and the poem totals 240 lines. One might well suspect numerological ordering within the poem, or, at the least, some degree of symmetrical construction. The end of stanza 10 clearly marks a midpoint that is both numerical and rhetorical: at 120 lines the bird has described two feathers and begins an account of the third one. A. Kent Hieatt and Constance Hieatt have proposed a full numerical structure (pp. 24-25), suggesting that the poem is organized into two "wings" with symmetrical bipartite structures (stanzas 1-7 and 14-20). The structure of each "two-feathered" wing, in terms of stanzaic line lengths, is: 12,8,8 / 12,12, 12,12; and 12,12,12,12 / 12,8,8. By this analysis the remaining central section consists of 88 lines (stanzas 8-13). The numerical arrangement of lines is, then, 28:48:88: 48:28, four feathers on two wings, one on either side of a central "body" of text.
What meaning the poet may have intended by these symmetries remains an open question. He apparently expected the poetry to "embody" the woeful bird and her lost feathers. Symmetrical structures are not uncommon in medieval verse, and often there is a real correspondence of verbal shape to the content, as, for example, in an allegorical poem on the periods of human life. The eighty-two-stanza poem seems loosely composed as it rambles through "mankind's" successive stages, foibles, and temptations over a lifespan of one hundred yeras. Nonetheless, his fiftieth year occurs percisely at stanza 41, midway in the poem. 2 A central depiction of kingship also not uncommon at the middle of poems with symmetries of structure. 3 In such works the poet invites a reader to see the midpoint as a sovereign moment, a pinnacle of power, human or divine. In two other works appearing here, The Four Leaves of the Truelove and The Dispute between Mary and the Cross, the strophic arrangement of ideas seems designed to recreate the shape of the Cross, with Christ's redemptives powers made manifest at the central point. Both of these poems, unlike The Bird with Four Feathers, are explicitly about the Crucifixion.Nonetheless, the similarities between The Bird with Four Feathers and The Four Leaves of the Truelove are many: both pieces are chansons d'aventure with loquacious birds and meditative sermons upon a four-fold idea. Both develop a structure of two bilateral parts that straddle a middle section, leading one to surmise that, in each instance, a central metaphor is being physically "worded" out C four feathers on a bird's body or four leaves on a stem. For both visualized metaphors the typological source would be the shape of the Cross, or its correspondent, Christ's wounded body. It may be that the general set-up of a bird in a tree prepares a devout medieval reader for a christological meaning and pattern. Even though the bird here is primarily a figure for mankind struck down by age and fortune, her suffering in four extremities and her added heartache would recall in faint outline the wounds of Christ.
This meaning exists as a shadow behind the bird's lament over her loss of four worldly attributes to the ravages of time and fortune. The complaint maintains a mournful, entirely human perspective. There is, however, buried in the bird's words of devotion to God, a deeper pattern that seems to complement the structural symmetries. Just as the first reference to God, "Kyng of Pytee," is especially meaningful, subsequent calls to God allude to the four mourned attributes as understood in divine terms, and together they sequentially construct Christ's life as a man and role as Savior. Lamenting her lost Youth, the bird appeals to Christ incarnate as human infant, "Hym . . . that Marie bare" (line 63). Bracketing this appeal at the other end of the complaint, when the bird mourns lost Riches, she appeals to Christ's rich gift to mankind C "Jhesu, for Thi precious blood" (line 187). The theme is Christ's Incarnation, the demonstration of God's mercy that forms the basis of the penitent's hopeful petition, "Parce michi, Domine!"
These calls to God occur at symmetrical points, the one to Jesus as Infant in stanza 6, the other to Jesus as Crucified in stanza 15. These stanzas each occur six in from the endpoints. Counting in two more stanzas in each direction (stanzas 8 and 13), one finds God initially called upon in His might, an attribute that is softened in the second reference to include God's mercy. 4 Again there is a sequence, from Might, to Might and Mercy, the change wrought by Christ's living as a man.
Moving inward again, to the two central stanzas (10 and 11), one discovers a midpoint exemplum on sovereignty: Solomon was a fair and worthy king (lines 105-08), but as any mortal will, he eventually fell (in his case, to concupiscence); the narrating everyman bird was also at one time "a man of mochel myght" (line 123), but he too fell away from God; God alone is the ultimate "Kyng, corowned in hevenne blys" (line 131).
The various terms for God, always strategically placed in an appropriate context, create a composite portrait of God in the sequential roles adopted by Christ: King of Pity, Son of Mary, God of Might, King of Heaven, God of Mercy, Crucified Man. These hidden signs complement the "winged" shape of the poem: Divine Kingship in the middle, flanked by Divine Power and the Incarnation on one side, Divine Mercy and the Crucifixion on the other. Framing the whole is a conception of God as font of "pytee," ever responsive to a heartfelt cry of "parce." Ultimately, the poem C if read repeatedly, learned by heart, or meditated upon devoutly C would come to reveal an emanation of the divine within its lines. The well-attuned meditant would experience something approaching a fulfillment of the pious petition in the last lines:
And parce geteth Godis pyté,
And scheweth to us His blessed face. (lines 239-40)
God's "face" is enigmatically present to be discovered by the literate meditant whose search for God's "pytee" is earnestly pursued. 5
By the end of the poem the guise of an innocent narrator gives way to a tone of newfound sagacity. Lee Patterson observes that, in general, penitential lyrics tend to dilute the personal pain of a confession by shifting, in the end, to a conventional didactic stance:
. . . possessed of his bitter wisdom, he [the speaker] is self-evidently no longer the man he once was, and in the very course of the poem he is transformed from penitent into sage, directing his words to an audience that has not yet learned the lesson he knows so well. He becomes, in effect, an agent of the institutional authority from which he was originally alienated, and his assumption of these familiar tones marks his assimilation into the body of the saved. (p. 389)
Patterson observes that the typical movement from needing to repent to preaching the need to repent "is bought at the price of what seems to be a self-alienation. . . . Penitential feelings . . . are thus simply set aside in favor of a consoling self-righteousness" (p. 389).
However, looked at in light of Patterson's views, The Bird with Four Feathers appears not to settle, finally, into comfortable self-complacency. The narrator's initial naïveté is born of his careless youth, and listening to the penitential bird is at first a casual, curious diversion. But the words will, in actuality, penetrate his soul, as the bird advises in stanza 4. His final stance is that of a penitent, while, interestingly, the bird herself seems stuck in a mood of complaint. Despite the example of Job's patient piety, the bird's final words express nothing more than the universal fact of death:
Alle that lyveth, bothe powre and ryche,
Shall deye unknowyng of her day. (lines 231-32)
The bird's pain remains the pain of a simple bird whose feathers are plucked; her lament is over what she has lost. The embedded signs of God seem to lie outside her perception. The bird without reason is ultimately excluded, while the wit-endowed narrator learns a valuable lesson about the human condition. His last words to the reader are to heed the lesson he has newly absorbed, to sing with inner comprehension "parce," and to seek the godly vision that is implicit in the verses sung by the bird. Penitential aventure is both "bale and bote" (painful effect and remedy; line 236), an ongoing experience of sorrow, reward, and sorrow renewed.
The pairing of The Bird with Four Feathers with Pety Job in three manuscripts was the logical inspiration of some fifteenth-century compiler. Sharing the same refrain, the two long, penitential lyric complaints are both products of serious poets. All three volumes are from the London area, as is a fourth one, Bodley 596 (used for the copy-text here), connected with Westminster Abbey. 6 Hope Emily Allen mentions that several works appearing in manuscript with Pety Job, such as The Bird with Four Feathers, "resemble each other in style, metre, and cadence, and they probably all emanate from the same source" (p. 370), and she refers specifically to the French literary fashions current in the capital in the mid-fifteenth century, which is about when Pety Job was written. While The Bird with Four Feathers would have similarly appealed to cosmopolitan readers with cultivated, devotional tastes, its time of composition preceded that of Pety Job by many years. Its relationship to lyrics in the Vernon series and to the alliterative Four Leaves of the Truelove points to the period 1390-1410, 7 a date allowing sufficient time for several variant texts C altered or abridged C to crop up in manuscripts of the mid-fifteenth century and later.
These doctored texts reveal that not every fifteenth-century reader was alert to the niceties of form matched to meaning, since several editors felt free to obliterate the poem's artistic, devotional structure in preference for a tighter narrative or for stanzas of uniform length. The least drastic alteration occurs in Royal 18 A.x, where an editor decided that the poem should end with the exemplum on Job, the biblical
author of the refrain. This person simply left out the last two stanzas, removing the bird and narrator's final words and creating a situation in which the principal protagonists have vanished from the poem. Two other variants were much more destructive: zealous revisers attempted at least twice to give the poem the metrical uniformity of either eight-line stanzas or twelve-line stanzas. Moreover, in the revised copies that survive many whole stanzas have been excised or inadvertently omitted, leaving the original argument blurred beyond recognition. These revisers and copyists were evidently blind to the carefully numbered, shaped structure and the embedded namings of God that are to be found in the original poem. One compiler, a Glastonbury monk of about 1450, shows a collector's taste for proverbs and moral chansons d'aventure in his commonplace book. To judge from the garbled form of his redaction of Bird, he was attracted to the poem for its sententious wisdom C expounded in its refrain and moral exemplums C without much attention paid to the narrative logic of the bird's lament. His careless transcription entirely omits the third feather. 8 The editor of the eight-line stanzaic version (found in Harley 2380) has substituted a rather pedestrian structure; after a five-stanza prologue, the laments for individual feathers fall in place methodically: Feather One in stanza 6; Feather Two in stanza 8; Feather Three in stanza 10; and Feather Four in stanza 12. By the conclusion in stanza 13 the narrator has been forgotten, but nonetheless the penultimate line seems a gloss designed to provide the hidden name of God, who "ys Fader and Sun and the Holy Gast." 9
There remained, however, an audience for the poem in its original form, readers who were undeterred, apparently, by the stanzas of irregular length and who would have wanted to grasp the appeal from bird to "Man!" as a serious poeticized message in touch with the sacred realm. The continued copying of the twenty-stanza poem in London through the later fifteenth century, next to other serious devotional texts, indicates a respect for the poet's effort to supply an innovative aid for readers in their private meditations. In particular, one may note the neat layout of the piece in Harley 1706, which helps to showcase the poem's symmetry. Copied in six even columns of forty lines, the midpoint occurs, appropriately, at the top of the fourth column.
If there had not been readers who understood the method of the verse, its survival fully intact in several copies of a generation or two later would be remarkable. A well-educated, very pious, aristocratic society, customers of the booktrade in London with close ties through family and patronage to several religious houses, appears to have promoted a demand for texts that promised both moral edification and mental challenge. The Bird with Four Feathers is the kind of text that asks one to meditate upon it, offering the reward of hidden truths. Since the densely structured poem appealed to the tastes of this audience, it seems very likely that at least some readers knew the work to contain secret patterns, and that a pleasure in working out the hidden mystery in this and similar works fostered an art of meditational reading in a self-consciously literate culture.

Juan Santamaría Airport will close 5 hours Wednesday and Thursday
The closure is to allow for the removal of the damaged DHL plane. Passengers are recommended to contact their airline to confirm in changes in their scheduled trips
NationalRedaqted
QCOSTARICA – The Juan Santamaría (San Jose) International Airport will close on Wednesday (April 13) and Thursday (April 14) the takeoff and landing strip for five hours to remove the DHL plane that crashed last Thursday.

The closures will take place during the early hours of midnight and 5:00 am on both days "due to mobilization work on the accident aircraft in the green area south of the kilo taxiway".
The administrator of the air terminal, Aeris, says eight commercial flights and six cargo will be affected.
The coordination to remove the damaged plane from where it broke in half after landing, began the day of the incident. On Sunday, the cargo that was being transported in the tail section was removed.
Removing the aircraft is not a simple task. Prior to mobilizing the broken parts of the aircraft, they have to stabilize it, place it on a flat site, and unload the content it was transporting. The process also involves the authorities in charge of investigating the accident.
Affected flights
"The operation has continued normally since the day of the incident; We have been as expeditious as possible to efficiently apply the procedures in these situations, resuming runway operations as soon as possible. We work intensely together with the authorities to safely remove the aircraft", commented Ricardo Hernández, General Director of Aeris.
The airport manager recommended that passengers contact the airline in charge of the flights, to confirm if there is any adjustment in the scheduled trips.
Although in principle the General Directorate of Civil Aviation had contemplated moving the aircraft between Saturday and Monday, the investigation work has not allowed it.
The plane crashed last Thursday due to failures in the left hydraulic system, according to the pilots' report to the Control Tower.
In addition to Civil Aviation, the manufacturer of the plane, Boeing, as well as the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are involved in investigating the plane crash.
From social media
Given that the aircraft was registered in Panama, Panamanian aviation authorities will also participate in the investigation.
On the day of the accident DHL, the German logistics company said it would also investigate the crash that resulted in the B757-200F veering off the runway and breaking in half on landing.

A 22-year-old New York woman who documented her cross-country van road trip on social media was reported missing by her mother on Saturday after her fiancé returned to their home in Florida without her, reports said.
Gabby Petito and her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, embarked on their road trip on July 2 from Blue Point, New York, Newsday reported.
The two were living in a 2012 Ford Transit van and documenting their travels on Instagram and YouTube, often using the hashtag #vanlife.
Petito was last seen checking out of a hotel with Laundrie on August 24. She last spoke to her family on the phone the next day, telling them she had arrived at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, her mother said.
Her mother later told reporters Monday that she FaceTimed with Petito around Aug. 23 or 24.
Petito's most recent Instagram post was shared on August 25.
Petito's mother, Nicole Schmidt, told Fox News on Sunday that she was unsure whether her daughter had left Grand Teton. She said she exchanged texts with Petito's number twice after August 25.
"I did receive a text from her on the 27th and the 30th, but I don't know if it was technically her or not, because it was just a text," Schmidt said. "I didn't verbally speak to her."
Laundrie eventually returned to the couple's home in North Port, Florida, without Petito, though it was not clear when he arrived, the Daily Mail reported.
The police in New York's Suffolk County said Schmidt filed a missing-person report on Saturday.
"Petito, 22, of Blue Point, is described as a white female, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall and 110 pounds," the press release said. "She has blonde hair and blue eyes, and several tattoos, including one on her finger and one on her forearm that reads 'let it be.'"
The press release said authorities had recovered the couple's van during their investigation.
Petito and Laundrie had been living in North Port together for two years before they set out on their road trip, the Daily Mail said. Petito announced their engagement on Instagram in July 2020.
Petito's family said Laundrie had refused to cooperate with authorities and had hired a lawyer, the Daily Mail reported.
"I just want people to keep looking and not stop until we find her," Schmidt told Newsday. "We won't stop until we find her."
Meanwhile, Schmidt said during a press conference at her attorney's office on Monday that she has hope her daughter will return home.
"I believe she's going to come home," Schmidt said alongside Petito's father, Joe Petito, according to Newsday.
Schmidt added, "We don't eat. We don't sleep. We're just actively looking for her."
"She's not in touch with us, and she could be alone somewhere, stranded somewhere in the wilderness, and she needs help," said Schmidt.
The mother said her daughter and Laundrie attended Long Island's Bayport-Blue Point High School together and later "rekindled" their relationship, Newsday reported. The two had been living together in Florida for 2 1/2 years, Schmidt said.
"As a mom, I had concerns about a daughter going on a road trip in general, but I felt safe, they were together," said Schmidt. "They had a plan, an itinerary, and we were excited for them. Everyone wanted to be doing what they were doing."
A GoFundMe that Petito's family made to help find her has raised over $8,000.
Neither Petito's family nor Laundrie immediately returned Insider's request for comment on Monday.

The Treasurer
2 men, 2 women
THE STORY: Ida Armstrong is broke, lonely, and fading fast. And she's spending all of her children's money, forcing her son to assume the unwanted role of The Treasurer: an arrangement that becomes untenable the more he questions his devotion to her. This darkly funny, sharply intimate portrait chronicles the strained ties between a son and his aging mother, and the hell of a guilty conscience.
"…tender and unforgiving…[an] emotionally dense play…Posner's writing is often effectively double-edged, an amalgam of 21st-century casualness and cadenced lyricism…the play adroitly balances the everyday and the extreme—while suggesting how crisis pushes reality into the realm of nightmares…[Posner] has a sharp and original ear for the tension between what is spoken and what is not." —NY Times. "[THE TREASURER] is a quiet revelation…It makes boundaries porous, creates a space that blends the mundane and the mystic, that slips between the life of the moment and the life of the mind, even obscures the border between life and whatever comes after…Posner's play is a ravishing slow burn, with layers that quietly unpeel as the piece goes on…quite simply, a marvel." —New York Magazine. "…something of a Glass Menagerie forty years on, with an unlikely but welcome touch of Neil Simon…[Posner] displays a brightly contemporary point of view with a keen comic sense." —The Huffington Post.

Xiaomi Mi 6X (Mi A2) with dual rear cameras unveiled: Know price, features
By BS Web Team | New Delhi | Last Updated at April 25 2018 15:45 IST
Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi on April 25 unveiled the Mi 6X, a successor to last year's Mi 5X, at an event in its home country. Built on the blueprint of the Redmi Note 5 Pro, the new smartphone looks similar in terms of design. But the Mi 6X boasts several feature and specification improvements over both Redmi Note 5 Pro and Mi A1.
Xiaomi Mi 6X features and specifications
The Mi 6X sports a 5.99-inch fullHD+ 18:9 aspect ratio screen. The phone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 system-on-chip (SoC), paired with three RAM and ROM options – 4GB/64GB, 6GB/64GB and 6GB/128GB. The phone sport a dual-camera set-up on the back and a selfie camera with LED flashlight on the front. The dual-camera set-up brings a 20-megapixel f/1.75 aperture lens paired with a 12MP telephoto lens. As for the selfie camera, the phone has a 20MP lens. Both rear and front cameras support artificial intelligence-based scene detection. The phone is powered by a 3,010 mAh battery.
Xiaomi Mi 6X Price
The Mi 6X is priced at RMB 1,599 (Rs 17,000) for the base model and RMB 1,999 (Rs 21,000) for the top-end variant.
Xiaomi Mi 6X India launch
The Mi 5X was the first Xiaomi smartphone launched in India as an Android One device. Called the MI A1, the phone had stock Android Nougat, instead of the MIUI operating system that was there in its Chinese counterpart. Now, with today's unveiling of the Mi 6X, it is expected that the phone would launch in India, too, as a successor to the Mi A1 and be branded as Mi A2. However, there has been no official confirmation around it, yet.
What is Android One?
Android One is a Google's initiative for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), which assures timely operating system upgrade and security patches. The Android One devices offer stock Android experience with no bloatware installed.
What about Mi A1, the Xiaomi's first Android One smartphone
The Xiaomi Mi A1 was launched in India last year at Rs 14,999. It was the first device from the stable of Xiaomi to run stock Google Android instead of the Mi user interface, which has been part of all other Xiaomi devices.
Apart from stock Google Android, the key feature of the Mi A1 was its dual-camera set-up at the back utilising dual 12 megapixel sensors – wide angle and telephoto lens. The telephoto 50mm telephoto lens captures the main image and wide-angle lens measures the depth of field to create bokeh effect, which blurs the background. The dual camera set-up enables up to 2x optical zoom capabilities and up to 10x digital zoom.

The smartphone has a fingerprint sensor placed at the top centre and comes with a dedicated amplifier for enhanced audio output.
The new range of smartphones from the stable of Finnish smartphone maker Nokia comes with Android One guarantee. However, in the sub-Rs 20,000 segment, the new Nokia 6 (2018) would compete with Mi A2.

Two Bethesda Academy Teachers Earn "Master Teacher" Status Awarded by SCISA
(SAVANNAH, GA) Two teachers at Bethesda Academy, a private day and boarding school for young men grades six through 12, were granted "master teacher" status after evaluation by the South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA).
Craig Sherman, Bethesda Academy
Jennifer Gilmour, Bethesda Academy
Craig Sherman and Jennifer Gilmour are the recipients of this honor. Sherman teaches social studies and history. Gilmour is a science and mathematics teacher, as well as a cottage teacher, whose responsibilities include ensuring all students staying in the cottage complete homework assignments, finish chores and are in bed on time.
"This is a major accomplishment for Mr. Sherman and Mrs. Gilmour, as well as for Bethesda Academy on several counts," said Michael Hughes, president of Bethesda. "Firstly, an amazing amount of work goes into the application, so it is a lengthy and arduous process. Additionally, it is very rare for one school to have two master teachers named at once."
The application process includes meeting rigorous teaching qualifications and submitting an entire portfolio for evaluation by a peer committee. It also entails presentations and exhausting interviews, endorsement letters from school officials and sample lesson plans.
"In their evaluation, SCISA staff also noted a 'surge in professional development and teaching quality at Bethesda,' because two of our teachers, Kim Godbee-Glisson and Elizabeth Peek, had been recent finalists for Teacher of the Year," said Hughes. "This recognition is a tribute to our entire faculty and staff. Each consistently personifies Bethesda's commitment to ensuring students receive a superior education that will enable them to mature into young men with the potential to lead exemplary lives."
Having formerly been affiliated with the Georgia Independent School Association, Bethesda Academy has been a member of the South Carolina Independent School Association since 2014. SCISA is a non-profit voluntary association of independent schools responsible for establishing accreditation standards, coordinating athletic and academic competitions and providing professional development opportunities for member schools.

Councilman Rafael Espinal of Brooklyn sponsored the bill.
The City Council voted Wednesday in support of a measure to establish an official Nightlife Advisory Panel and Office of Nightlife, which will reach out to the city's clubs and entertainment venues in hopes of reducing regulation on small operators.
The board will consist of representatives from the Council and the mayor's office with ties to the industry, and will deliver a host of policy recommendations within 18 months. The office will seek to monitor trends and changes within the field and make appropriate suggestions to City Hall. Mayor Bill de Blasio supports the measure.
Brooklyn Councilman Rafael Espinal, who sponsored the bill, described it as a way of giving underground venues and small-dollar local establishments a chance against larger businesses.
"We're losing a lot of those mom-and-pop—if you want to call it mom-and-pop—nightlife venues, and it's important we come out and support that industry," the lawmaker said. "New York City is known as the city that never sleeps, and those small venues are what really gave New York City its identity."
Espinal's district includes swiftly gentrifying areas with an avid new arts scene, as well as historically black and Hispanic communities with red-eye spots of their own.
Espinal said he hopes to turn next to repealing the city's cabaret license statutes, which forbid establishments to obtain special permits in order to allow dancing. The councilman has labeled the law "historically racist," as it came about as a means of shutting down interracial clubs during the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s.

Habitat for Humanity has worldwide experience responding to natural and man-made disasters from the earthquakes which hit the Caribbean nation of Haiti and Chile in South America in 2010, to Typhoon Haiyan which struck the Philippines in 2013 and the Nepal Earthquake in 2015.
Habitat works with local communities, governments and other organizations, but the focus is always on providing permanent housing solutions for people vulnerable to, or afflicted by, natural disasters, conflicts and other calamities.
Rebuilding homes and lives after a disaster may take many years. But Habitat starts from the Day After.
Habitat moves quickly to provide:
Early Response: Clean-up, home repairs and transitional shelter
To clear the way for home repairs and new construction, Habitat for Humanity mobilizes local volunteer groups and provides them with tools – such as shovels, wheelbarrows and crowbars – to remove debris and salvage materials that can be recycled for new shelter.
Clean-up activities may involve cash-for-work components to provide families with support and stimulate local economy. Clean-up work also contributes to a survivor's mental strength and emotional healing. It's an active opportunity for displaced residents to directly help with recovery.
Habitat emergency shelter kits help families make immediate repairs and construct temporary shelters.
Where appropriate, Habitat and local families work to build transitional shelters – durable homes with sanitary facilities which meet basic international humanitarian needs and which can withstand the elements. These shelters later can become the basis of permanent homes.
Long-term Response: Reconstruction
As soon as conditions on the ground realistically allow, Habitat for Humanity begins rebuilding damaged homes and new permanent housing. A popular approach is to build a core house – a small, well-constructed, disaster-resilient structure that can be extended and expanded as a family's circumstances and finances allow.
Habitat Offers Other Post-disaster Experience to provide:
Technical and organizational expertise – Habitat works with aid agencies, government planners and other groups, including UN bodies, to provide expertise in shelter construction.
Risk reduction – Habitat and its partners offer training on how to protect property and communities from the risk of further destruction through preparedness and mitigation programmes.

In general, you want your LDL to be LOW, and your HDL to be HIGH.
Lifestyle factors, including habitual, excessive alcohol use and lack of exercise, leading to obesity.
People who smoke and also have High cholesterol are at even greater risk for Heart disease. Lipid disorders are more common in men than women.
In general, a total cholesterol value over 200 mg/dL may indicate a greater risk for heart disease. However, LDL levels are a better predictor of heart disease and determine how your High cholesterol should be treated.
Having a first-degree female relative diagnosed with Heart disease before age 65 or a first-degree male relative diagnosed before age 55.
Discuss your results with your health care provider to determine the best therapy for your lifestyle.
Laboratory tests may be performed to identify secondary causes of lipid disorders if a lipoprotein test is elevated.
Get routine health checkups and cholesterol screenings.
If your cholesterol levels are high, these recommendations are very important steps for bringing your cholesterol under control.
Your LDL cholesterol is 190 mg/dL or higher.
Your LDL cholesterol is 160 mg/dL or higher AND you have one risk factor for Heart disease.
Your LDL cholesterol is 130 mg/dL or higher AND you have either diabetes or two other risk factors for Heart disease.
Your LDL cholesterol is greater than 70 mg/dL AND you have had a recent Heart Attack or have known heart disease along with diabetes, current cigarette smoking, poorly controlled High Blood Pressure, or the metabolic syndrome (high triglycerides, low HDL, and obesity).
There are several types of drugs available to help lower blood cholesterol levels, and they work in different ways. Some are better at lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol, some are good at lowering triglycerides, while others help raise HDL (good) cholesterol.
The most commonly used drugs for treating high LDL cholesterol are called statins. Other drugs that may be used include bile acid resins, cholesterol absorption inhibitors, fibrates, probucol, and Nicotinic Acid.
If you are prescribed medication, do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor.
If you are diagnosed with High cholesterol, you will probably need to continue lifestyle changes and drug therapy throughout your life. Periodic monitoring of your blood levels is necessary. Reducing High cholesterol levels will slow the progression of atherosclerosis.
Have your cholesterol checked every 5 years or so, starting between the ages of 20 and 30. If you have High cholesterol or other risk factors for Heart disease, make appointments as recommended by your doctor.

La candelita collareja o candelita acollarada (Myioborus torquatus) es una especie de ave paseriforme de la familia Parulidae que habita en América Central.
Descripción
La candelita collareja mide alrededor de 12,5 cm de largo y pesa una media de 11 g. La parte superior de su píleo es castaño rojizo y está enmarcado por el negro del resto del píleo y la frente. Su espalda es de color gris oscuro y el resto de sus partes superiores son negruzcas, con las plumas exteriores de la cola blancas. Su rostro y partes inferiores son de color amarillo intenso, salvo una banda negruzca que le cruza por la parte superior del cuello a modo de collar.
Ambos sexos tienen un aspecto similar, y los juveniles tienen un plumaje menos llamativo, con la espalda parduzca, y su cabeza es totalmente negruzca, sin el amarillo y castaño rojizo de los adultos, y sus partes inferiores son de un amarillo más apagado y carecen de la mancha rojiza del píleo.
Distribución y hábitat
La candelita collareja es endémica de las montañas de Costa Rica y el oeste de Panamá. Se encuentra en las selvas de montaña entre los 1500 m y el límite superior del bosque, además de los barrancos y pastizales adyacentes.
Comportamiento
Se alimenta de insectos, y con frecuencia extiende su contrastada cola mientras persigue a sus presas. Suele formar parte de bandadas mixtas de alimentación y con frecuencia sigue al ganado para atrapar los insectos que espantan los mamíferos.
Su época de cría es entre marzo y mayo. Construye un nido cubierto en el suelo o un terraplén empinado, escondido entre la vegetación o bajo un tronco caído. Construye su nido con una entrada redonda y utiliza hierbas, cortezas de árbol, fibras vegetales y hojas. La hembra pone dos o tres huevos blancos o de color crema con pequeñas motas pardas. La incubación de los huevos dura unas dos semanas.

As a doula, Kelly from Elemental Beginnings is a specialist in supporting and coaching parents through pregnancy, birth and that adjustment phase with your new little one.
Just like a personal trainer helping you and your partner to achieve your optimum birth experience and parenting goals.
Whether you want private birth education, continuous support to cope with the physical and emotional intensity of labour or an extra pair of hands to help with your baby, Kelly is there for you.
I'm taking bookings for free half-hour birth planning sessions or just stop by if you'd like to ask a Doula some questions about optimising your birth. I'd love to see you.
This is such an easy and healthy meal to make. It would also be a nice meal to drop off to a family with a new baby so they don't have to worry about cooking for the night. It easily fed our family of 5 and could be bulked up with more veggies to go even further. The best bit is, that it is all prepared and ready to eat in under half an hour and tastes delicous!
* Add mango, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste and heat for 1 minute. The mango and lemon juice should coat everything in a nice sauce.
Serve the chicken on top of the rice/couscous, sprinkled with the herbs and almonds.
-You could also add a stick of chopped celery and a diced red capsicum.
-I think this meal would freeze well so you could make it while pregnant as part of your babymoon preparations!
- The chicken and vegetables could be served without the rice/couscous if you have a small family.
And yes, I really must start taking photos for these recipes hey!

Huge fire broke out in the early hours of Sunday morning destroying the Rohingyas' camp in Okhla, New Delhi's Kanchan Kunj locality. Around 226 Rohingya refugees lived here.
Although, there has not been any loss of life, the residents at the camp in New Delhi's Okhla area said that the fire had destroyed everything they possessed including clothes and documents. Already persecuted in their country of origin, Myanmar, Rohingyas had found shelter in New Delhi among other places in India.
No one knows how the fire began but what was visible early on Sunday morning was blackened surfaced with the makeshift homes of the refugees having turned into ashes.
Local residents and NGOs working in the area have rushed to their help with food and other relief materials. Donations are also being collected to rehabilitate the refugees at the same place in a timely manner.
However, Delhi's Kejriwal government has come under fire from Muslims for its alleged apathy towards the woes of these refugees from Myanmar. They say while the Kejriwal govt spared no efforts to help Hindu refugees from Pakistan, it remained completely silent on the issue of the rehabilitation of Muslim refugees from Myanmar. The result being that these poor people are forced to live in inhuman conditions.

J.D.'s wife, formerly one of his fellow students at Yale Law School. Usha and Vance started dating while they were still in the program, a relationship that eventually led to marriage. Vance frequently turns to Usha for guidance in navigating the upper-middle-class environment in which he now lives. Though she respects his working-class background, she helps him leave behind the bad habits instilled in him by hillbilly culture, such as his tendency to quickly respond to adversity with intense anger. When they were first becoming serious as a couple, they had to work through Vance's poor conflict resolution skills; at the first sign of an argument, he would shut down and remove himself from the situation. This was because he had only ever seen adults abuse one another (verbally or physically) during disagreements, and he didn't want this to happen with Usha. Fortunately, Usha helped him see that this was not a productive way to approach difficult situations, ultimately bringing him around to the idea that it is okay to encounter conflicts in a relationship and that healthy conversation is, in fact, always an option.
The timeline below shows where the character Usha appears in Hillbilly Elegy. The colored dots and icons indicate which themes are associated with that appearance.

Looking to visit multiple stops in Italy?
When booking a holiday to Italy, many people decide that they would like to see more than one destination. And that makes good sense because Italy is a fairly small country that is easy to get around. In addition, it has so much to see that it would be a shame to stick to one place.
At Bellarome, we provide a wide range of multi-centre holidays in Italy, so you can combine two or more destinations on your trip and enjoy even more of the country.
So how can you go about seeing more than one place on your Italian holiday?
This is the hardest thing to do when you start planning your trip. Where exactly should you choose to visit when there are so many beautiful cities, regions, beaches and more to see?
Umbria, a small region where you can explore the most beautiful scenery in the Apennines, stopping off in small towns like Spoleto as you do so.
Urban retreat or rural escape?
Italy is well known for having a different type of cuisine in every region and indeed every town. Although pizza and pasta are popular all over the country, you will find subtle variations wherever you go, and this is one of the things that makes travelling around Italy such a pleasure.
Sicily, famous for its Arabic influenced cuisine and couscous, as well as wines like Marsala.
You may be wondering how to get around when you book stays in multiple destinations. Fortunately, this is easy to do.
If you are travelling short distances between towns and cities, you will almost always be able to take a train. Alternatively, you may want to hire a car to enjoy more independence and travel at your own pace.
But you can also fly if the distances are longer. For example, if you would like to visit Sardinia, you can easily catch a flight from the mainland, and this is something you can arrange far in advance.
You really can see Italy any way you want to. It is the perfect holiday destination because there is so much to see without having to travel far, and every time you return the experience will be different.
Keep this information in mind when you book your holiday, and do get in touch if you would like any help coming up with an itinerary because that is what we do best!

The application for admission is the first step to beginning your studies as a regular student. Applicants apply online or by filling out a paper application form. In the second case, applicants will receive a confirmation of receipt in the mail, provided that they filled it out properly and put the appropriate postage on the envelope when they applied. If their application is complete, applicants receive a letter of admission or conditional admission or refusal for the requested session. If they are admitted, applicants receive a personal identification number (UNIP) in the mail. It gives them access to their electronic records on the Internet. It is also possible to receive the UNIP by e-mail by indicating your e-mail address on the application for admission.
Students cannot begin a program in any session they please. Some programs are only offered in the fall and it is usually impossible to begin an undergraduate program in the summer. Admission is only valid for the session indicated in the letter of admission. It can, however, be deferred a session or two (for valid reasons) if the program in question is offered in the desired session. To obtain a deferment, applicants must present a written request to the Bureau du registraire and pay a $30 fee. Generally, answers to requests are issued after April 1 for the fall session and after November 1 for the winter session. If the admission is deferred, a new letter of admission will be sent.

Home News California Hospital Opens New ED and Isolation Department
California Hospital Opens New ED and Isolation Department
SAN RAMON – To keep up with rapid growth in the area, San Ramon Regional Medical Center will open a new emergency department next week with more beds, a spacious waiting room and an isolation area for patients who have extremely contagious diseases.
A new computer program will enable people to go online from home to see how long the emergency department wait is.
Those who have non-life-threatening problems such as a twisted ankle or bad migraine can schedule tentative appointments for treatment, pay a $9.99 registration fee, and wait in the comfort of their home. If they are not seen within 15 minutes of the scheduled time, the fee will be refunded.
The $10.7 million expansion, under construction for more than a year, will better equip the hospital to deal with a major disaster, said Chief Executive Officer Gary Sloan.
Residents can get a sneak preview during an open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. The hospital is at 6001 Norris Canyon Road in San Ramon.
"We are trying to expand with our rapidly growing community," Sloan said. "When patients come in, they'll now be afforded more privacy and more efficiency."
The 8,900-square-foot addition will increase emergency department capacity from nine to 16 beds.
Private treatment rooms will have flat-screen televisions to help patients pass the time, and computers that will enable doctors and nurses to chart medical records bedside, said Reshea Holman, administrative director of emergency services.
Unlike the cramped waiting area in the old emergency department, the new location will seat 25 people comfortably and will have an area with smaller chairs and toys for children, Holman said.
One of the more unusual features will be what hospital officials are calling InQuickER. Residents can go to www.OurSanRamonHospital.com , click on the InQuickER banner, and get an estimate of the anticipated emergency room wait time, with information updated every five minutes.
People can also fill out a short form online, list their symptoms, pay the registration fee and schedule a tentative appointment for that day. The hospital has determined when it typically has a low volume of emergency patients and will make selected appointments available between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Holman said.
At a time when some California hospitals are struggling to keep their doors open, the 123-bed San Ramon Regional Medical Center financed its expansion through money from its corporate parent, Tenet Healthcare Corp.
The emergency department, open around the clock, has about 17,000 visits a year and has a pediatrician on site from Children's Hospital Oakland.
Outside, a new ambulance entrance will have two showers to decontaminate paramedics and emergency workers who have been exposed to hazardous chemicals.
Inside, a negative-pressure isolation room will help prevent bacteria from spreading. It will be used for patients who have tuberculosis and other highly contagious infections, Holman said.
An orthopedic room that is about four feet deeper than other rooms will provide space to bring in X-ray equipment.
To make treatment faster, the emergency area will have a new radiology suite installed by June so that patients will no longer have to be transferred to other areas for X-rays, Holman said.
The hospital, which treats patients who are undergoing a serious form of heart attack known as a STEMI, will also have a cardiac catheterization lab installed in its emergency department by the end of the year, Holman said, which should enable faster treatment.
A remodeled clinical laboratory will have new chemistry analyzers, which should make it possible to obtain test results faster, said Vera Foster, director of laboratory services.

Why a Roof Terrace adds Value to your Home
Rooftop gardens not only provide an oasis of calm in city and town centres, but will also more than pay for themselves
'Terraces that are the height of good taste'
They are the ultimate refuge from the stresses of city life, create new outdoor entertaining space and can raise the value of a property by as much as a fifth. Little wonder, then, that rooftop gardens are now the most desirable form of outside space. Research by Chesterton Humberts estate agency has shown that homes featuring such terraces can command more than similar properties without any garden, even if these homes have an extra bedroom or more internal floor space.
If you're considering creating your own oasis above the eaves, however, there are vital considerations to take into account. If the space overlooks other properties or you want to build substantial walls, for example, then planning permission is likely to be required, even if you are converting an existing flat roof.
Tony Woods, who runs the garden design and landscaping business Garden Club London, has just finished working on a new roof garden on top of John Lewis in Oxford Street, central London. Half of his business in London now comes from rooftop projects.
"The Great British public are protective of their castles," says Woods, the Royal Horticultural Society's young garden designer of the year 2013. "If people are overlooked they notice, and no matter how well neighbours get on they will pick up the phone to their local authority. Often with loft conversions with small roof terraces the council will stipulate that we have to put in screening so that the neighbours aren't affected. "In many cases there are houses with one-storey extensions with a flat roof that are crying out to be roof terraces but councils stipulate that, for the privacy of others, they can't be converted".
If you live on a conservation area, it can be a real struggle to get permission, as the actor Sean Bean discovered after a long running battle with his neighbours in Belsize Park, north London, over his plan to build a roof terrace on his £4 million home. Local residents complained to Camden council that this would compromise their privacy and last month Bean lost an appeal.
It also emerged this week that Nick Leslau, the owner of Alton Towers, is being investigated by Camden council after it was alleged that work was being carried out on a £500,000 "horticultural theme park" roof garden in Primrose Hill. Leslau is accused of starting work on the project before obtaining planning consent. (Leslau's wife, Maxine, denies any such work has started.)
Planning issues vary between regions and boroughs. The award-winning garden designer Charlotte Rowe, who is currently putting together a show garden to mark the centenary of the First World War at the Chelsea Flower Show, says:
"Kensington and Chelsea are very sniffy about anything that's not plant material that is above the height of a standard balustrade."
Roof terraces aren't just for summer and fire features are a growing trend. "More people are asking for fireplaces and firepits that can be used as barbecues," Rowe says. "There are no particular problems with putting a fire on a roof because you can often use the existing chimney or gas".
Woods is also receiving more requests for these and says that there has been a surge in interest in external media systems. If you plan to install such items, however, you'll need to consider the effect they may have on other properties. Woods says: "Outdoor televisions and speakers are very popular, but they're not something that adds to good neighbor relationships."
Check your lease
If you live in a leasehold flat you may need to seek permission for the work. Rowe says: "People don't realise that they can't just stick a roof terrace on their house or flat unless the owner or managing agent or freeholder approves it." Remember also that plans must be approved by a structural engineer.
Remember the structural work
A roof terrace is typically 30 per cent more expensive than creating a ground level garden – from £12,000 to £60,000. Steel beams will be required if the existing structure is not strong enough to take the weight. Rowe says: "There are structural issues and the expense of craning things in, such as trees and soil. It's not just a question of putting a few pots up there."
Think about the access
A road closure may be required if using a crane, says Woods. "You have to get all of your suppliers to deliver at the same time, which isn't easy. Design with access in mind – hardwood flooring like balau only looks good laid in 4m lengths, and if you only have small lift or narrow staircase for access you can't use it."

Intuit Love a Local Business: Cheese… Please!
Photo courtesy of Cheese.. Please!
Last year, our good friend John mentioned to me that he'd noticed a "cheese and British stuff" shop would be opening in his town of Cranford, not far from where we live. John was our contractor, and while he worked on our kitchen, he and I would talk all day long about food, cooking, and having fun parties with friends and both those good things. He was – and is- pretty thrilled about Cheese.. Please!
Maria Tisdall is a classically trained chef and mother to four. During her years as a cook in a convent, she fell in love with cheese. Eventually, she went back to school to become a cheesemonger, and the dream to create Cheese… Please! was born.
When I was approached by BlogFrog about Intuit's Love a Local Business campaign, I knew I had to write about Maria and her family, and her shop. I've been meaning to write a blog post about them for ages now. The very first day they opened, James and I ventured over to downtown Cranford (which is charming) and into Maria's shop, ready to stock up on our favorite British treats as well as good cheese.
What met us was a virtual buffet of all of James's favorite British goodies. Maria seriously rivals some of the bigger names in New York City for style and selection when it comes to British and Irish imports. James nearly cried when he realized he could now get his rashers (that's bacon to us American folk) by driving to the shop like a normal person, rather than having to order them online and pray we wouldn't have a heat wave.
British Digestives are like a heavier graham cracker. Our favorites are dipped in milk chocolate, and taste incredible when dipped in a hot cup of tea with milk.
Plus, we can now get all James's favorite pantry staples too. Bisto is instant gravy – but it's incredibly delicious. Nothing like what we have here in the States.
Tea and scones which can be enjoyed at these charming tables with the sunlight streaming in.
Maria has had a plan from the start. She started with her truest love and passion – cheese – and hoped that the customers would recognize it and come back often. In the last year, they have. So much so that Maria's been able to implement phases two and three of her dream, first adding a myriad of sandwiches to a daily lunch board, and just this week by adding organic, fully cultured frozen yogurt treats to beat the summer heat.
I'm partial to the Michael – Gruyere, Ham, and Quince on the same sandwich?! Come on!
Just looking at this yummy goodness makes me hungry.
We were given a jar of the Apricot Cumin spread at the grand opening. It has become a full on addiction since then. I put it on everything, but especially a slice of baguette with sharp cheddar and butter.
Who wouldn't find this space charming and inviting? Photo courtesy of Cheese.. Please!
I've nominated Cheese… Please! for the Intuit Love a Local Business campaign. Vote for Cheese… Please!
I love how Cheese… Please! is building an online community of fans and customers that is helping move feet into their brick and mortar location. I've nominated them for the Intuit Love A Local Business campaign because their family owned business is the epitome of the American Dream.
You can vote for Cheese… Please! or nominate your own favorite small online business by visiting Intuit's Love a Local Business page.
Bonus: Why not go and nominate yourself for Intuit's Love A Local Business competition, and then encourage your readers to vote for you? Intuit is helping small businesses achieve their dreams by awarding $25,000 each month to a local business! Note – votes are like raffle tickets – the more votes a business has the more chances they have to win.
It's been very exciting starting my own business and also watching Maria and her family build theirs, so I'm curious to know: What dream business would you love to start? By replying you will be entered to win an iPad 2!

De Driesprong is een plein in het Centrum van Rosmalen.
Het plein heeft zijn naam te danken aan de gelijkvloerse kruising van 3 wegen die iets ten oosten van het plein bijeen kwamen. Afgezien van laad- en losverkeer zijn deze wegen autovrij.
In de jaren 90 van de twintigste eeuw heeft het plein een metamorfose ondergaan. Oude gebouwen zijn gesloopt en vervangen door gebouwen zoals de Marktstaete aan de Markt. Dit gebouw werd vanwege zijn aparte architectuur ook wel Station 's-Hertogenbosch genoemd, als verwijzing naar het Station 's-Hertogenbosch van architect Rob Steenhuis uit Rosmalen. Toch is er een opvallend gebouw aan De Driesprong bewaard gebleven: Villa De Driesprong, wat voorheen werd gebruikt als gemeentehuis van de voormalige gemeente Rosmalen en als politiebureau. Het is in gebruik als het een brasserie.
Op donderdag wordt op De Driesprong de weekmarkt gehouden.

Q: Presenting XML data Ruby - Alternatives to tables? I've got an XML file holding data - names and times. I'm using Ruby to display this in a web page as a time-table. I have no problems in parsing the data.
Currently, I'm trying to use colspans and rowspans to display the data correctly - but this feels like an awful silly way of dealing with this data. Imagine timeline as headers - names as row headers.
example data:
Name: John
Start: 8.00pm
End: 11.00pm
Name: Ellie
Start: 11.30pm
End: 1.00am
Should I be using data-attributes on divs or something similar, rather than creating lots of empty TDs of different colspans. Any help would be appreciated!
A: Generally, a good rule of thumb is to not use tables for formatting. I would refer to this thread for some good explanations on this.
That being said, I would recommend divs over tables. Yes, it does require a bit more CSS knowledge as you have to deal with floating divs and what not, but once you get the hang of it, you won't look back.

Oct 13 & 14 – Winds of Heaven: Emily Carr, Carvers and the Spirits of the Forest
This post published on September 29, 2010
'Winds of Heaven: Emily Carr, Carvers and the Spirits of the Forest' (2010)
6.30pm, October 13th and 14th, 2010
Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Admission $13 (includes gallery admission)
Level Ground coffee and light snacks will be served. Seating is limited so please arrive early to avoid disappointment. Why not come early and wander through the art gallery!
Please note earlier start time: 6.30pm
The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria and OPEN CINEMA are proud to present the Victoria premiere of Winds of Heaven: Emily Carr, Carvers and the Spirits of the Forest, an evocative and moving portrait of the life and times of Emily Carr.
Renowned Canadian filmmaker Michael Ostroff will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A on both nights.
"This is a must see. Possibly one of the most important films ever made about our province, our forests and our history as newcomers." ~ Vancouver International Film Festival Director, Alan Franey
Winds of Heaven is an impressionistic exploration of the spirit that informed the solitary life of one of Canada's most celebrated and irrepressible painters. Emily Carr began painting in an era when women didn't, travelling to remote locations that few professional adventurers chose to go. Not only did she adopt the painting techniques of modernism, when such ideas were considered dangerous, Carr chronicled the extraordinary art and culture of native peoples, who were at the time invisible to the dominant culture.
The film disp els a number of myths about Carr's life and her contradictory relationship with and attitude towards the First Nations people of the Northwest Coast of British Columbia. While she resisted the predominate white attitude of portraying natives as 'savages', devoid of cultural sensibilities, the film explores the critique of Carr that she did contribute to the "traffic of native images". It also recalls the racism of the day – the Canadian government's celebration of the ancient native arts and its determination to preserve the totem poles, while ironically advocating and implementing policies that were determined to assimilate First Nations people and eradicate their way of life and culture.

B. bool readMovie(string filename, Movie m);
C. Movie readMovie(string filename, bool &status);
D. bool readMovie(string filename, const Movie &m);
E. bool readMovie(string filename, Movie &m);
F. Movie readMovie(string filename, bool status);
A: All of them can work:
*
*A. if Movie itself can have a well known bad value (equivalent to end, EOF or NULL), or a member to check whether it's in a good state, this is fine:
Movie readMovie(string filename);
Movie m = readMovie(filename);
if (m.good() || m != Movie::InvalidMovie || ... ) {
however, I suspect the questioner thinks this doesn't count as indicating success via a return value ...
*B. if Movie is typedef'd to a pointer, or a shared_ptr, or if Movie is a lightweight wrapper for a refcounted MovieImpl object (for example), this is fine (because the caller's shared state is mutated via readMovie's copy of the wrapper)
bool readMovie(string filename, Movie m);
however, I suspect the questioner thinks this doesn't count as indicating success via a ... parameter. (NB. A's Movie could also be a typedef, smart pointer or other handle-body style thing).
*C. this is definitely fine (and even the questioner knows it)
Movie readMovie(string filename, bool &status);
*D. same constraints as B
bool readMovie(string filename, const Movie &m);
*E. fine
bool readMovie(string filename, Movie &m);
*F. stupid: this can work in the same was as A, but the status param is useless and misleading. So, I'm certain the questioner doesn't expect this to work:
Movie readMovie(string filename, bool status);
So, what can really be made to work: all of them.
What the questioner probably wants to hear: C, E.
What you should be looking at:
*
*designing clear, expressive, efficient interfaces that are easy to use correctly (none of the above fit this, IMO)
*appropriate use of exceptions instead of return codes (if failure is genuinely exceptional)
*passing that string filename by const reference
*getting a better teacher.
A: Let's see:
*
*A provides no boolean indication of success. False.
*B is passing Movie by value, so there's no way it will get returned. False.
*C returns a movie, and the bool is passed by ref so it will get modified. True.
*(skip)
*E is the opposite of C, so it will work too. True.
*(back to) D is the same as E, except it will be a const Movie this may or may not be appropriate. True?
*F is the opposite of B, and fails for the same reason. False.
It's not a terribly clear question, and I would indicate my reasoning for my answers on the test/homework.
A: A movie is a big thing, so it should be allocated dynamically.
Therefore, use a smart pointer.
The code below demonstrates/proves how each and every proposed function signature supports returning a loaded movie and checking whether it succeeded or failed, with the most natural interpretation of the information provided (in particular, that a "movie" is a movie).
Note that the signatures in the question are all examples of Very Bad Design™.
The signature shown in namespace right in the code below is however OK:
*
*It supports Windows filenames in general.
*It ensures that if the load fails, the calling code has no movie object to (erroneously) play with, and this is done by throwing an exception to indicate failure.
*It passes the string by reference to const (for efficiency and as a general good habit).
