IsiNgqumo IsiNgqumo, or IsiGqumo, (literally "decisions" in the language itself) is an argot used by homosexuals of South Africa and Zimbabwe who speak Bantu languages, as opposed to Gayle, a language used by the homosexuals of South Africa who speak Germanic languages. IsiNgqumo developed during the 1980s. Unlike Gayle, IsiNgqumo has not been thoroughly researched or documented, so figures on numbers of speakers are nonexistent. IsiNgqumo is a Nguni language and seems to have derived from Zulu. IsiNgqumo is often considered a Western invention by indigenous Zimbabweans but it was actually a creation of indigenous homosexuals, an only recently self-aware group. Sample Although the following sample conversation may be slightly obscene, it is a good representative of IsiNgqumo's use as most of its vocabulary has some connection to sex or gay men. IsiNgqumo: "Isiphukwana sake, kuyavuswa na?" "Maye" "Injini!" "Kuncishiwe" (or) "kuyapholwa" Zulu translation (to show difference): "Ubolo sake, kuyakhulu na?" "Yebo" "Imbuqo!" "Kuyancane" English (literal translation): "His little stick, has it awoken?" "Yes" "Lie!" "It's not talented" (or) "it makes one cold" English translation: "His penis, is it big?" "Yes" "Lie!" "It's small" (both terms mean the same thing, and are very derogatory) Etymology The origin of the vocabulary used in the above sample is given below: The word isiphukwana comes from the Zulu word uphuku (meaning "stick") with the suffix "-ana" (meaning "small"). Iisiphukwana is the IsiNgqumo variant of the Zulu word uphukwana. Vuswa is the Zulu word for "woken up" in the passive tense. Maye comes from the Zulu word for expressing shock. This is used instead of the Zulu word for yes, yebo. Injini literally means "taking on for a ride", and finds its origins in the Zulu word for "engine". In Zulu, the word imbuqo word is used for the same purpose. The word uncishiwe originates from Zulu as "not given", but is used in IsiNgqumo to mean "not talented". Kuncishiwe has the same meaning as "It is not talented". Uncishiwe can also mean "ugly", or can be used as a generic insult. Pholwa is passive tense for the Zulu word for "cool". Kuyapholwa could be translated as "it makes one cool". Like ncishiwe, pholwa can be used as an insult.

Hillson Beasley Hillson Beasley (30 April 1855 – 7 October 1936) was an English-trained architect who relocated to Australia, executing his major buildings in Melbourne (1886–96) and Perth (1896–1917). In his later career he was the Principal Architect of Western Australia's Public Works Department and designed many notable public buildings, including the Government House ballroom (1899), Parliament House, Perth (1900-1904), Fremantle Post Office (1907) and the old Perth Technical School (1910). Biography Hillson Beasley was born on 30 April 1855 at Canterbury, Kent in England, the son of Edward Beasley and Caroline (née Saunders). He was educated at Wesley College, Sheffield, following which he was articled to an architect in Dover. Beasley then practised in London, Carlisle and Oxford. On 22 December 1877 he married Fanny Clarke at Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire. The couple relocated to the Cape Colony in South Africa, where Beasley worked in the architectural branch of the Public Works Department for three years. They subsequently emigrated to Melbourne in 1886 where Beasley opened his own architectural practice. His works in Melbourne included the Presbyterian (Uniting) Church in St Kilda. Beasley also taught at the Working Men's College and the University of Melbourne. In 1896 Beasley moved to Western Australia where he joined the Public Works Department as a specification draftsman. In 1897 he became chief draftsman and assistant to John Grainger, who succeeded George Temple-Poole as Principal Architect that year. In 1905 Beasley was appointed Principal Architect, succeeding Grainger. In fact, he had been acting in the position since November 1903, when Grainger departed on extended leave owing to illness. In his role as Principal Architect, Beasley oversaw a great number of new government works and additions in Perth, Fremantle and towns along the railway to the eastern goldfields. He designed or was responsible for the Government House ballroom (1899), Parliament House, Perth (1900), Claremont Teacher Training College (1902), Perth Modern School (1909–11), additions to the original Art Gallery of Western Australia (1906), Midland Courthouse (1907), Fremantle Post Office (1907), Fremantle Customs House (1908), Fremantle Technical College annexe (1910), the State Library of Western Australia (1911) and the Chief Secretary's Office & Medical and Public Health Buildings (1912). In 1917 Beasley retired from the Public Works Department. Between 1920 and 1921 he lectured in architecture at the University of Western Australia. In his later life Beasley moved to Albany, where he died on 7 October 1936 and was buried in the local Presbyterian cemetery.

Q: twig nested loop getting more elements I have a nested loop in twig and i get the elements doubled in the form of 1,1,1,1 / 2,2,2,2 / 3,3,3,3. How can i use the first loop to access the data from the second loop without duplicating the elements ? {% for form in forms %} {% for question in surveyQuestions %} <div class="overlay-container tab-content"> <div role="tabpanel" class="show-rendered-form tab-pane in fade active" id="show-rendered-form"> {% form_theme form with ['bootstrap_3_horizontal_layout.html.twig'] %} {{ form(form) }} <div class="overlay-mask"> <div class="btn-group"> <a class="edit-action btn btn-default" href="#show-edit-form" data-question-id="{{ question.id }}" aria-controls="show-rendered-form" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">Editeaza</a> <a class="delete-action btn btn-default" href="#show-rendered-form" data-question-id="{{ question.id }}" aria-controls="" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">Sterge</a> </div> </div> </div> <div role="tabpanel" class="show-edit-form tab-pane" id="show-edit-form"> </div> </div> {% endfor %} {% endfor %} A: Assuming my assessment above is correct: Why not do it like this?

Pages Monday, October 22, 2012 Let's Look in the Fridge When we moved to NY, we had to get a new fridge. Unfortunately, the only stainless-ish one from GE with the water dispenser on the outside was a side-by-side. Yes, we had to buy GE. We get too good a discount to pass it up. Anyway, I have NEVER liked it. I feel like it is forever overcrowded. It was brought to my attention that it is "messy" again today, so let's evaluate what is in it and why. Top shelf - fresh milk from the dairy delivered yesterday. We get 4 bottles every Friday, so that pretty much overwhelms the top shelf until you use some up. We have to have 1% for the K-man and adults and whole milk for the Mini-Me. 2nd shelf - This is the most eye-level shelf, and tends to be the most frequently used/transient items. Today, it is loaded with the following:  Before 3 2 types of salsa (throw out partial) a container with 1 mozzarella ball (really?) 2 hummus kosher dill midgets 6 greek yogurt 1 bottle of water (enough on door) 1bottle of beer (hello beer fridge in garage) coffee creamer pizza sauce sour cream can of pineapples (doesn't need to be there) leftover chili from 2 weeks ago (ick) cottage cheese leftover coconut milk (not sure how long this lasts) 3rd shelf - This shelf is for things that Kyle can reach. Right now it is housing: 2 lunchables way in the back a bowl of clementines salsa chicken turkey dogs (need to be flash frozen and put away) Small drawer - We use this pretty exclusively for meats and cheeses. 3 bags shredded cheese deli ham proscuitto string cheese American cheese unfrozen yogurt sticks 4th shelf - This shelf is awkward with little space. 2 containers of eggs leftover pizza english muffins (should fit in bread drawer) whole wheat bagels way in the back (will replace the near empty drawer ones) ham (will be in roaster after I type) Large drawer 1 - Our fruit and vegetable drawer currently holds: pears grapes lettuce carrots pepper mushrooms Large drawer 2 - We keep breads in the fridge so they last longer.  2 1 partial packages hot dog buns (no need for both) hamburger buns white wheat bread mini whole wheat bagels raisin toast Door - This is where things get ugly. We have more condiments than most people knew existed. From the top down, here is the list: I marked through what I felt could be removed for sure. But I have an internal debate with myself on the door stuff. When you need cocktail sauce, it is there, and it hasn't reached its date. Do you keep or throw out? And yes, it is open. Then there are the things I like cold - tarragon vinegar (for my salads), etc. It doesn't have to be refrigerated, but I prefer it that way. Surprise, there are some things that apparently don't require refrigeration after opening too. After Throught this little analysis, I am making some headway. Looks a little better now, huh? I think I might do the pantry next. Stay tuned :)

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Interwoven with the early settlement of the Town of Durham is the endeavor of the first settlers to provide a place for religious worship. The early Duteh settlers at Dewittsburgh, now Oak Hill, formed a church organization in the early days of their settlement, and drew membership all along the Catskill valley from Freehold to Livingstonville as well as from the hills on either side. The first English settlement in Durham, or Freehold, as the town was then called, was by seven young men from Durham, Connecticut, in 1784. They came by boat to Catskill and then with their guns, axes and knapsacks, made their way on foot to this town, began clearing away the forests on Meeting House Hill, and gave the name " New Durham " to their settlement.

Q: Upload file to MongoDB and to a local server with the same POST request I'm trying to make my own upload service, and I want to be able to upload a file in a local folder on my server but also on my mongoDB cloud service (Atlas). So far, I've done both services separately and they work fine (I made a Node app for uploading files to mongo Atlas and another Node app for uploading files to the server). But now, I would like to unifiy these two into a single node app, where after each POST request, the file gets sent to both Atlas as well as the local folder. I'm using multer and gridfs. The first attempt was to make two "file-input" fields on my index.html file, and each of those with two different POST requests: one to '/upload' which sends the file to Atlas and the second one to '/uploaddisk' which sends the file to disk. However, the second post request doesn't work (it throws me the error every time I want to submit my file). Uploading the file to mongoDB seems to work just fine every time. Any ideas how can I do this on a single POST ? Thank you in advance! Here is the code that I wrote for my server.js app: //mongo DATA const dbURI = "myc-atlas-credentials"; mongoose.Promise = global.Promise; // mongoose.connect(bdURI, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true }); const conn = mongoose.createConnection(dbURI, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true }); //init gfs let gfs; conn.once("open", () => { //initialize the stream gfs = Grid(conn.db, mongoose.mongo); gfs.collection("uploads"); }); //creating the storage engine for MONGO const storage = new GridFsStorage({ url: dbURI, file: (req, file) => { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { const filename = file.fieldname + '-' + Date.now() + path.extname(file.originalname); const fileInfo = { filename: filename, bucketName: "uploads" }; resolve(fileInfo); }); } }); const upload = multer({ storage: storage }); //set storage engine with multer for disk const diskstorage = multer.diskStorage({ destination: function(req, file, cb) { cb(null, path.join(__dirname + '/uploads/')); }, filename: function(req, file, cb) { cb(null, file.fieldname + '-' + Date.now() + path.extname(file.originalname)); } }); const diskupload = multer({ storage: diskstorage }); //route for POST - upload data to mongo app.post('/upload', upload.single('file'), (req, res) => { console.log({ file: req.file }); // res.json({ file: req.file }); res.redirect('/'); }); //route for POST - upload data to disk app.post('/uploaddisk', diskupload.single('file'), (req, res, next) => { const file = { file: req.file }; if (!file) { const error = new Error('Please upload a file'); error.httpStatusCode = 400; return next(error); } res.redirect('/'); }); A: You can try it like this: function fileUpload(req, res, next) { upload.single('file')(req, res, next); diskupload.single('file')(req, res, next); next(); } //route for POST - upload data to mongo app.post('/upload', fileUpload, (req, res) => { console.log({ file: req.file }); // res.json({ file: req.file }); res.redirect('/'); });

First the narrative went “Its just the traditional Catholics – the Orthodox Jews and the Quakers\Mennonites that don’t vaccinate, due to their religious reasons\extremism” – Never because, by basic demographic, traditional Catholics and orthodox Jewish people are by far much better well-read and consistently research the full Truth on subjects better and in far greater numbers that the general populous But now …..smoking guns begin to appear ….Be forewarned that the last time we attempted to post the latest inside news on this topic (that mainstream media suppresses at all costs, in their collusion with the corporate pharmaceutical industry and specific government agencies) our family & friends site was taken off the air and our site was suppressed New study: Massive Aluminum levels in Autism brains, is this the smoking gun for vaccines? “What does this mean for today’s generation of children who receive 5,000 mcg of aluminum in vaccines by the age of 18 months and up to 5,250 additional mcg if all recommended boosters, HPV and meningitis vaccines are administered.” It’s time to bring scientific integrity to the vaccine business – Robert Kennedy Jr. Last year (2016) the corporations even trumped Robert De Niro and an Independent Film Festival organization in NYCthreatening to pull sponsors if the whistle blowing film on the proven poison chemical dangers within vaccines is screened Thimerosal is a different kind of mercury. It doesn’t stay in the body, andis “unlikely” to make us sick. So once they say it’s “unlikely “– which is quoted in multiple trial court papers – they are legally off the hook for tons of additional law suits – That’s Science ?! = “Unlikely” Actuality says ….’except if are one of a dozen specific ethnicities/ nationalities that are susceptible to mercury poisoning , even at low levels, and if you live in area of the United States or elsewhere that still has a coal fired power plant in its region– and or you culturally or as a family eat a lot of fish then ….you are going to have a mercury level on the high side before they inject you with thimerosal ! Is the public ever warned about these facts as the human sacrifice continues = the answer is no If the parents agree to poisoning their child this is what they inject infants with – footnoted with …’if they agree” …but for how much longer will there be an option to refuse the weaponizing mechanisms being put into our superstructure …..The “if they agree part” is slowly dissolving in this country as the African countries begin to become militant about their mandates On This Vigil Today Of The Martyrdom Of Saint Andrew The Apostle The Nine Day Novena to the Immaculate Conception Always Begins Say once a day for nine days, starting on November 29th and ending on December 7th – It begins in penance and ends in penance, as the Vigil (the 7th) of The Immaculate Conception although an optional Mass day is traditionally both a day of abstinence from meat and a full one meal fast The Saint Pope Pius X Novena Prayer to the Immaculate Conception- followed by Pater Noster, Ave Maria, & A Glory Be O most holy Virgin who didst find favor in God’s sight and hast become His Mother; O Virgin, immaculate in body and soul, in thy faith and in thy love, look down with pity on the wretched who in our need seek thy powerful protection. The evil serpent on whom was cast the primal curse continues, alas, to attack and ensnare the poor children of Eve. But thou, our Blessed Mother, our Queen and our Advocate, thou who from the first instant of thy conception didst crush the head of this cruel enemy, receive our prayers. United to thee with one heart, we beseech thee to present them before the throne of God. May we never be caught in the snares around us, but rather may we all reach the harbor of salvation. Despite the awesome perils which threaten, may God’s Church and all Christian society sing out once again the hymn of deliverance, of victory and of peace. Amen.

Iodoacetate protects hippocampal neurons against excitotoxic and oxidative injury: involvement of heat-shock proteins and Bcl-2. Mild metabolic stress may increase resistance of neurons in the brain to subsequent, more severe insults, as demonstrated by the ability of ischemic pre-conditioning and dietary restriction to protect neurons in experimental models of stroke- and age-related neurodegenerative disorders. In the present study we employed iodoacetic acid (IAA), an inhibitor of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, to test the hypothesis that inhibition of glycolysis can protect neurons. Pre-treatment of cultured hippocampal neurons with IAA can protect them against cell death induced by glutamate, iron and trophic factor withdrawal. Surprisingly, protection occurred with concentrations of IAA (2-200 nM) much lower than those required to inhibit glycolysis. Pre-treatment with IAA results in suppression of oxyradical production and stabilization of mitochondrial function in neurons after exposure to oxidative insults. Levels of the stress heat-shock proteins HSP70 and HSP90, and of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, were increased in neurons exposed to IAA. Our data demonstrate that IAA can stimulate cytoprotective mechanisms within neurons, and suggest the possible use of IAA and related compounds in the prevention and/or treatment of neurodegenerative conditions.

Q: Light weight scaffolding for FW/1 I am trying to create a light weight scaffolding facility for FW/1. Right now I have a file called scaffold.cfc in the controller which looks like <cfcomponent hint="this is expected to be extended, and never used directly"> <cfscript> function init(fw) { variables.fw = fw; } void function home (required struct rc) output="false" { /* TODO: Generic load */ setView("scaffold.home"); } void function create (required struct rc) output="false" { /* TODO: Generic create */ setView("scaffold.create"); } void function show (required struct rc) output="false" { /* TODO: Generic show */ setView("scaffold.show"); } ... </cfscript> </cfcomponent> I want to make sure that index.cfm?action=scaffold.* or index.cfm/scaffold/* can never ran. Where is the best place to do this? A: You could place the scaffold.cfc outside the controllers folder so FW/1 doesn't consider it to be a controller CFC (since you would only extend this, not use it directly as a controller). You could also place it in a subfolder of the controllers folder and, again, FW/1 would ignore it.

Getty Images Tension between the African-American community and police officers is nothing new. In fact, some of our favorite comedians have been making jokes about police brutality and racial tensions for years. Here are a few of our favorite comedians sharing social commentary through humor. Richard Pryor: “Police choke ni—s to death.” Late comedian Richard Pryor knew the deadly effects of a chokehold from a police officer way back in 1977. (Start at 00:40-1:07) Dick Gregory: “Watts Riots/ Civil Rights” Though it wasn’t standup, comedian Dick Gregory spoke poignantly about the Watts Riots. Fast forward 49 years and he could be talking about Ferguson.

(00:52-3:05) Chris Rock: “How to not get your ass kicked by the police.” Chris Rock reminds us in a hilarious way not to give police officers an excuse to arrest you and what usually happens when you argue with a cop. Louis C.K.: “Every year, white people add a hundred years to how long ago slavery was.” (Start at 1:48) C.K. jokes about how racial historical context should always be taken into account. Martin Lawrence: “White people get away with a lot of sh*t when it comes to the cops.” Lawrence reenacts why White people have a lot more freedom when it comes to encounters with the police. Mike Epps: “Black people are afraid of the police.” Epps jokes about how Black people are hyper-aware of police presence. Aries Spears “White people, y’all got a freedom we just don’t have.” Aries Spears shines a comedic light on white privilege. (Start at 00:50-01:22) Aamer Rahman: “Fear of a Brown planet.” Is there really such a thing as reverse racism?

E.S.L. – Dreams I’ve been listenin’ to hella Panamanian records lately. This is an entire Hermanos Duncan production, straight from a record I found (with a clip of The Mozambiques at the end… fucking HEATER track). That groove. What? How can one NOT feel swayed by that sound? This song is kinda… a testament and a reminder of sorts to myself as I go about my day to day that it’s okay to continue to dream, and that I should NEVER give up. The trials and tribulations of life may be tugging on me to resign and go in a certain direction, but these dreams I maintain are the reason that the trajectory of my life has taken some interesting courses. Besides… life is just a bizarre dream anyway. A mindfuck of an experience, that’s for damn sure. Keep dreaming, y’alls. Lyrics: It was all a dream. A burst bubble or caffeinated scribbles. The innocence behind it all makes me giggle. The type of dream I’ve had since I was little man. But now I’m grown and my situation ain’t the same. But these visions keep appearing in my mind frame. They keep me up at night and sedated through the day In a hazy daze. Both my eyes glazed Trying to figure out a way to make it work and pay. I keep my eyes closed, but my heart and soul are open, Hoping that my perseverance stays unbroken. And I feel the pressure building up and it don’t stop. It just keep bubbling and burning ‘Til it becomes claustrophobic and I feel like I’m chokin’. There’s no end in sight. I can’t sleep it off. Everywhere I go. And everywhere I look. And everywhere I be… it’s staring back at me! It’s just a part of me and I can’t reckon with it. It stays dangling in front of me like a carrot. I reach out, and it’s just a little bit beyond my grasp. Just enough to get me back on the right track, ‘Cause I’m always distracted. Actin’ like I lost my marbles, but I probably never had ’em. So I blow trees just to blow steam I got this geyser of love and grief bubblin’ deep inside of me… And it’s ready to explode! Got shit to unload, Looking forward to finally feeling lighter Cruising higher than a 747 Got my feet up in the gutter but my mind above the heavens. Taking in the inspiration like a breath of God, Feelin’ alive, lettin’ loose. Ain’t no use to keep this padlocked, Can’t stop, Head nod like an etch-sketch to obliterate this fucking block! So I float downstream, After all, it’s just a dream and I’m hopin’ it don’t turn into a nightmare. I’m aimin’ for the best considering the circumstances. Sometimes there’s second chances. So I’m indulging in this visions that’ll never leave my mind frame… There’s no end in sight… It’s just who I am. It’s who I’ll be. So I gotsta to keep…

M. Giant'sVelcrometerThrowing stuff at the internet to see what sticks Tuesday, June 07, 2005 I Like New York in June Biggest disappointment of my trip to New York this past weekend: The sleeping thing. You can't sleep in when you have a baby whose daily schedule has him up between seven and eight, eight days a week. And it's not like we can get him up, change him, and go right back to bed together either, like we could when it was just the diabetic cat who had to be ministered to at eight a.m. There are procedures that need to be followed, and by the time it's all over, you're not getting back to sleep anyway. You could grab a nap, but his next bottle's due in 45 minutes anyway. Not that that ever stops me from grabbing a nap, of course, but a nap's a nap. Sleeping until noon is something else entirely. Or so I would seem to recall. So with Trash and I going to New York for the TWoP summit and M. Tiny staying home with Trash's mom and aunt, I was looking forward to a good lie-in almost as much as I was to hanging out with some of the funniest damn people alive. And then on the first morning, I spontaneously woke up for the day at eight a.m. -- seven Central Time, for those of you playing at home -- and I thought, Goddammit! So then the next day, I decided to take a short afternoon nap. From which I woke up in excess of two hours later, having missed a chance to hang with some other folks from the site, and I thought, Goddammit! Now I'm home, and M. Tiny is at my mom's for the night, so I could go to bed early, but Trash is now in Toronto for a librarian conference, and I never sleep well when she's out of town. Goddammit. Plus there's another reason, but I'll get to that later. * * * Most pleasant surprise of my trip to New York this past weekend: It wasn't the fact that hanging out and eating and drinking and cracking wise with a roomful of recappers and their friends and plus-ones is a hell of an entertaining way to spend an hour or eight, because that wasn't a surprise. It wasn't the fact that after I visited Strega and Johanna at their hotel (which has a lovely rooftop terrace with a portable bar set up nights, and where I found a wine cork that someone forgot to pick up, which I immediately threw over the railing to see what would happen), I exited the hotel and found my wine cork, apparently undamaged from its fourteen-story plummet to 35th Street, because even I'm not that big a geek (although that didn't stop me from bringing it back home to Minneapolis anyway, just in case I'd accidentally trepanned a pedestrian who had already been cleared away and it was only a matter of time before Gary Sinise showed up with his fingerprint kit). No, it was the fact that after the reading on Friday night (where we killed, I don't mind telling you), who should come up to me and say hi but the marvelous woman who wants to stage a dramatic reading of The Sisters' Tragedy in New York City. We'd been in contact via e-mail, but in all the excitement of getting ready to go and arranging care for M. Tiny and figuring out what the hell I was going to read anyway, I had entirely forgotten to specifically invite her. So how lovely of her to come out anyway. It's not that I wasn't happy to see each and every other person who was there (especially you, sweet cheeks. Yes, you, you little minx), but this was a bonus. Especially since that little Vaudeville of mine (okay, a five-act, neo-Jacobean feminist revenge tragedy in iambic pentameter) turned out to not exactly be an easy day's work and I'd made it clear that she would have been well within her rights to look at the first page after Dramatis Personae, say "Fuck this," and drop the whole thing. But instead she's going ahead, and for that I salute her. And not just because I'm hoping she'll sell a shitload of copies in the lobby, either. There aren't any details yet on when this thing is going to happen, although it should be in the next couple of months assuming all goes well. We'll keep you posted. * * * The past few months, I've been promising myself that I'd start updating more regularly after the "non-stop season" of 24 (which thankfully, mercifully, stopped). As well as doing other things I've been letting slide, like answering e-mail and washing myself. But then I was invited to recap the last season of Six Feet Under, and of course I couldn't say no to that. Ah, well. Those other things can wait. Read the recaps, dude, because they're a hell of a lot cheaper than HBO and they contain more of my writing than a week of entries, even back when I used to update every MF'ing M-F (shiver). And, as one of the Fishers might say, I'll be clean when I'm dead. * * * Oh, and there was also the pleasant surprise that a Corona with ice and chili powder is, as Omar promised, really good. * * * Today's best search phrase "Sock feet mind control." Sure, I'd love to have total power over my fellow humans' every thought, word, and action, but not if I have to put on shoes. Oh, and you were so, so, so funny last Friday. I would have to say that the midwesterners (you and Miss Alli, natch) brought the funny in a big way. I wanted to some up and say hi afterwards, but I was all nervous--you know, you might have thought it was WEIRD that someone who ony knows you throught TWoP and your recaps came up to you and started asking about your baby and cats, like, HI, I am a STALKER, but anyhow, I sat in the corner and knit through the whole performance and it was just lovely. Thank you for being there. :-) Couldn't you guys take the show on the road? Don't you have recappers and past recappers in almost all 50 states now? At least you should have regional events, like in CA and the midwest and the south. Then you could have groupies that follow you all over the country, like Deadheads.

I'm here because while there's no shortage of people hurling their least significant thoughts and feelings up on the Internet, none of those people are me. I'm here because I've got nothing to say, and by God I'm going to say it. My goal with this blog is to spend time writing something, anything, rather than just sitting around slackjawed. I hope to hone my writing skills, build a small but loyal following, then a slightly larger and more fiercely loyal following, ultimately culminating in the destruction of my enemies and total world domination. Feel free to e-mail me if you like, but only if you don't mind that anything you say is likely to end up on the site. I can't guarantee that I'll be nice about it.

7 Essential Ingredients for Your Portable Natural First Aid Kit I may receive commissions from purchases made through links in this article. But that in no way influences my opinions.Full Disclosure While it’s great to be prepared for any eventuality with a whole host of herbs for your basic home remedy kit, what happens when you’re out and about? Whether it’s a road trip, a day out foraging, a camping vacation, or a trip to the beach, we strongly recommend that you prepare a portable natural first aid kit. There’s always some risk of accident or injury, so keep a portable first aid kit in your backpack, bag, or vehicle, just in case. Aside from the eye-rollingly obvious items like gauze dressings, bandages, and medical tape, here’s the top ingredients we recommend for your herbal first aid kit. 1 – Lavender Oil Lavender oil has been in use for thousands of years, for a whole variety of ailments. When inhaled, it has a soothing, calming, and relaxing effect. When used on the skin, it has analgesic properties. Insect Bites and Stings – Simply apply a single drop of lavender essential oil to the insect bite or sting. It quickly soothes the pain and irritation. Mild Shock and Anxiety – Because lavender has calming and soothing properties, it’s a great natural remedy for anxiety and mild shock. Just inhale the scent for a minute or two. You can place a few drops on a handkerchief or inhale directly from the oil bottle. Cuts and Wounds – Lavender has antiseptic properties, as well as acting as a natural painkiller. Dissolve six drops in a cup of warm water and use it to bathe wounds, cuts, or abrasions. It will clean the area, help prevent infection, ease pain, and promotes healing. Headaches – Again, just inhale the scent and its soothing and analgesic properties will lift a headache or a migraine. 2 – Arnica Another natural remedy with a long medicinal history. Arnica is most commonly associated with relieving anxiety, mild shock, and depression. As arnica also promotes rapid healing and has analgesic properties, it’s also great for: 3 – Aloe Vera All of us should have a few aloe vera plants growing around the house. With so many health benefits, it’s definitely worth keeping an aloe vera preparation in your natural first aid kit. Once removed from the leaf, the gel needs to be refrigerated. However, if you carefully remove a leaf from the plant, you can store this in an airtight container in your first aid kit for a day or two. 4 – Tea Tree Oil A potent antiseptic, tea tree oil is a must-have for any natural first aid kit. Dilute six drops in warm water and bathe cuts, wounds, and abrasions. It’s soothing, too, so, diluted or used as an ointment, it eases skin irritation and discomfort. 5 – Comfrey Like all the other ingredients on this list, comfrey, also known as knitbone, has been in use for its medicinal properties for literally thousands of years. A comfrey ointment preparation is a great choice for inflamed wounds, skin irritation, bruises, and burns. While it shouldn’t be used on open wounds, comfrey ointment eases pain, reduces inflammation, and encourages the fast growth of new cells for rapid healing. You can just use the crushed leaves in an emergency. 6 – Honey Honey is a staple for treating minor burns, helping to prevent infection and encourage faster healing when applied directly to the injured area. It works well for coughs and respiratory irritations, too, when taken neat or with hot water. 7 – Ginger We recommend keeping some fresh or even dried ginger in your natural first aid kit, because it works well for reducing nausea and digestive discomfort. If you like the heat, peel and chew a small portion of the root. Otherwise, peel half an inch of ginger root and add it to a cup of hot water with a dash of honey. And, to help in the event that a nasty cold strikes, which, as we all know, can be thoroughly miserable, make sure you’ve at least got some garlic or echinacea to hand. Need some more cold remedies? Check out the article from Positive Health Wellness about preventing colds naturally. What other natural remedies do you swear by for your portable first aid kit?

Q: Tuple and if in Scala I am getting a compile time error with the following code: val bestModel = model val bestEvals: List[Double] = null ... <code, including code that initializes bestEvals> ... (bestModel, bestEvals) = if (allAgreeBetter) (updatedModel, currentEvals.map {case (eval, _) => eval}.toList) else (bestModel, bestEvals) The error is (are): Error:(203, 34) ';' expected but '=' found. (bestModel, bestEvals) = if (allAgreeBetter) Error:(205, 11) ';' expected but 'else' found. else What did I miss? If I take out this statement, the code compiles and runs fine, so the problem is specifically in this statement. A: As mentioned here, you can't have tuple assignments to pre-existing references - it's something that Scala does not support. The only similar pattern that would indeed work would be: var (bestModel, bestEvals) = if (allAgreeBetter) ... However, if bestModel and bestEvals were pre-declared, then you would be redeclaring them (and not assigning them a new value). Hope this helps! Cheers.

To Create Better Content, Let Go of Expectations Permission to suck granted Photo by john vicente on Unsplash She spent three days writing a single piece. It was still not finished. Not understanding how someone can take that long, I said: “What takes you so long? It’s just an article.” She replied that she needed more time. “I’m scared to publish,” she added.

Long-Term Outcomes in the Management of Painful Diabetic Neuropathy. Painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is a frequent complication of diabetes mellitus. Current treatment recommendations are based on short-term trials, generally of ≤3 months' duration. Limited data are available on the long-term outcomes of this chronic disease. The objective of this study was to determine the long-term clinical effectiveness of the management of chronic PDN at tertiary pain centres. From a prospective observational cohort study of patients with chronic neuropathic non-cancer pain recruited from seven Canadian tertiary pain centres, 60 patients diagnosed with PDN were identified for analysis. Data were collected according to Initiative on Methods, Measurement, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials guidelines including the Brief Pain Inventory. At 12-month follow-up, 37.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 23.0-53.3) of 43 patients with complete data achieved pain reduction of ≥30%, 51.2% (95% CI, 35.5-66.7) achieved functional improvement with a reduction of ≥1 on the Pain Interference Scale (0-10, Brief Pain Inventory) and 30.2% (95% CI, 17.2-46.1) had achieved both these measures. Symptom management included at least two medication classes in 55.3% and three medication classes in 25.5% (opioids, antidepressants, anticonvulsants). Almost one-third of patients being managed for PDN in a tertiary care setting achieve meaningful improvements in pain and function in the long term. Polypharmacy including analgesic antidepressants and anticonvulsants were the mainstays of effective symptom management.

Q: Echo link in php, and insert php in alt of I have an HTML tag <img> for specific products, however some products don't have images since their similar products already have the same. I want the viewer who reached these image-less products to be able to click on a link and get to the similar products. Now the <img> is like this: <img src="../imgs/product/<?php echo $productName;?>.png" alt="No image for this item. Please refer to its similar item: <?php echo $alt; ?> "/> Then I want the $alt part to be a link to the similar product, so I wrote: <?php $alt = '<a href=\"singleproduct.php?singleItem=' . $similarProduct .'\">'. $similarProduct. '</a>'; ?> It's not possible to print out the link no matter how I revise the style of quotes. Just wondering if it's not possible at all to insert an <a> inside of <img>...? If not, how to make this work? A: You can't have a html tag in a html attibute. If you wan't a full html fallback, take a look at Inputting a default image in case the src attribute of an html <img> is not valid?

Q: Why does boiling water make dough taste sweet? I was experimenting on dough for chapathi, which is basically wheat tortilla. This is how I normally prepare it, Mix whole wheat flour and salt with room tap water, often 20 to 30 degree Celsius . Knead with oil until I get a consistent dough. Immediately press with a rolling pin and cook in a pan In this method, the product is often crisp, never fluffy and no particular taste. But today I experimented with hot boiling water as I read recently it denatures protein in food, which prompted me to experiment. When I cooked my chapathi, those were extra tender but more importantly, it was very sweet, even though I added salt . I hope to find a scientific explanation to this phenomenon. A: Flour is mostly starch, and starches are long chains of sugar molecules. When you add hot water to starches they gelatinize and burst, and these gelatinized starches soften the dough. Gelatinization works faster at higher temperatures. There are enzymes in the flour which break the starch down into sugars, and they work more efficiently at high than room temperature as well, say 65°C. Both these processes work at lower temperatures, but they work faster a higher temperatures, which is why adding boiling water gave you that result. At room temperature gelatinization works faster than enzymes action breaking starch down into sugars, so letting the dough rest will soften the dough without making it much sweeter.

Bill Maher used his final New Rule of the night to take on his old friend Sarah Palin‘s departure from Fox News. “Liberals have to stop gloating about Sarah Palin getting dumped by Fox News,” Maher began, “even though it happened less than a day after Bobby Jindal told his fellow Republicans to ‘stop being the stupid party.’ That’s just a coincidence. A wonderful, hilarious coincidence.” The whole thing reminded Maher of another character who got fired from Fox News: Glenn Beck. “But did he curl up into a ball and weep like a baby? Of course he did. This is Glenn Beck we’re talking about.” After that, Beck headed off to the internet, where he made $80 million on his subscription-based website last year, landing him on the Forbes list of highest-paid celebrities. Rush Limbaugh is also on that list. And Maher said “con men” like Beck and Limbaugh “don’t care about winning elections. They care about separating rubes from their money… They don’t want a majority. They want a mailing list.” Maher proceeded to tear into Beck, Sean Hannity and other conservative radio hosts and authors for stoking survivalist fear in their audiences and profiting immensely from their gullibility. “Glenn Beck only has 300,000 subscribers, so they’ll never be a majority.” And even though they can only vote once every few years, they can consume right-wing ideology and products almost as fast as they are produced. “There’s no comparable industry on the left, dedicated to separating liberals from their cash. I mean, unless you count Whole Foods.” Watch video below, via HBO: — >> Follow Matt Wilstein (@TheMattWilstein) on Twitter Have a tip we should know? [email protected]

Q: avoid multiple clicks on a button I have an application where in which i have two buttons, named 'next' and 'previous'. These buttons are to navigate through the stories being loaded from a url. When the button is tapped the dialog appears to show "Please wait loading data". When we tapp the next or previous button quite extravagantly, a never ending dialog appears on screen. Am doing it this way: public void onClick(View v) { try { pDialog = new ProgressDialog(StoriesListController.this); pDialog.setIndeterminate(true); pDialog.setIcon(R.drawable.icon_small); pDialog.setCancelable(true); if (isFavoriteList == true) { pDialog.setMessage("Loading favorites..."); } else { pDialog.setMessage("Loading data..."); } pDialog.setTitle("Please wait"); pDialog.setOnCancelListener(new OnCancelListener() { public void onCancel(DialogInterface arg0) { if (cancelableHeavyWorker != null) { cancelableHeavyWorker.setHandler(null); } finish(); } }); pDialog.show(); if (v == next) { if (ind < items.size() - 1) { ind++; loadAndShowNextActivity(); } } else if (v == previous) { if (ind > 0) { ind--; loadAndShowNextActivity(); } } } catch (Exception e) { Log.e("Error", "--.OnClink Message" + e.toString()); e.printStackTrace(); } } Where am i going wrong. How can i avoid multiple clicks or avoid never ending dialog. ANy help is appreciated. A: Disable "next" button until the data is loaded completly or the process is canceled. A: after clicking the button, do setEnabled(false) to this button, to disable multiple clicks A: Alternatively to the other answers you could set a boolean variable to true when the button is clicked and set it to false when you're done processing the click. This way you can ignore multiple clicks and not having to disable the button possibly avoiding annoying flickering of the button.

A multimodality work-up of patients with Hypereosinophilia. The work-up of patients with hypereosinophilia (HE) is complex. Following the recently revised World Health Organization criteria, we retrospectively reviewed 125 patients who were referred to us to exclude a neoplastic cause of HE (2003-2016). The clinical laboratory work-up confirmed secondary HE in 25 (20%) patients; myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with rearrangements of PDGFRA (n = 9) or PDGFRB (n = 2) (9%); HE associated with a well-defined myeloid neoplasm in 8 (6%); and abnormal bone marrow and/or molecular genetic abnormalities consistent with chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL), not otherwise specified (NOS) in 21 (17%) patients. For the remaining 60 (48%) patients, a specific diagnosis was not identified, and 56 patients had HE related findings consistent with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES), while 4 patients who were asymptomatic. With a median follow up of 35.3 months (range, <1-104), patients with CEL, not otherwise specified (NOS) had a median OS of 26.1 months, significantly inferior to patients with idiopathic HES (not reached, P < .01). Thus, our experience in a single tertiary cancer center shows that the work-up of HE following WHO recommendations requires a multimodality-based approach; and a correct diagnosis determines risk stratification and proper patient management. However, the causes of HE remain unknown in approximately half of referred patients, indicating the need for further studies.

Q: Getting username in Spring JMS listener I already posted a question on this topic some two days earlier, but it was much more complicated question. Now, to put it more simply: Is there a way to obtain username, used to connect the broker, in spring JMS listener? I have found only MessageListener and SessionAwareMessageListener, but I'm not able to obtain this information (or Connection instnace) from neither Session, nor Message instance. Am I missing something obvious? I'm using ActiveMQ embedded broker. A: OK, the obvious answer was, that the connection listener is on is not the same connection as the client is on... Therefore, there is NO POINT of obtaining the connection handle... Stupid me... PS: I'm leaving it here to warn the future generations.

Friday, July 16, 2010 Dancing on the Edge Today is the 65th anniversary of the Trinity test, the first successful nuclear detonation. As it says here, this did indeed change the world forever and is one of the few technologies that can legitimately make that claim (the Internet may be another). It did put a halt to direct great power wars in favor of proxy wars in third-world backwaters. Nonetheless, what soldier or statesman could resist the temptation of such awesome powers? The results of Hiroshima and Nagasaki might have made nuclear war unthinkable for most, but not all. Some moments from nuclear history where we danced close to the edge: it would be so exciting it would be so powerful it would punish us for our sins things wouldn't be so boring anymore we could get back to basics we could remember who we love it would be so loud it would be so hot the mushroom clouds would rise up we could start over we wouldn't have to be afraid of it anymore we wouldn't have to be afraid anymore we would finally have done it better than Raskolnikov it would release our anger in the ultimate tantrum then we could rest 5 comments: Anonymous said... There have been 'ultimate weapons' before and since the nuclear bomb. Before it, there was poison gas, so dreadfully used in World War I. Every army of World War II was equipped with gas masks, and even civilians were trained for the possibility of gas attack. It never happened, less from any unexpected decency or humanity on the part of the combatants, as out of fear that the first use would bring about retaliation in kind, and any victory that might be claimed at the end would be Pyrrhic. We had a preview of the doctrine of mutual assured destruction in the attitudes towards gas warfare. Much post-WWII research was done about biological warfare, but apart from a few small-scale uses (their character much disputed, e.g., "yellow rain" in Afghanistan under Soviet occupation) the possibility of biological warfare has been restrained similarly by the likelihood of mutual assured destruction. Now that the possibility of conflict between ideological superpowers has receded into history, the danger lies in the access to weapons of mass destruction by potential users that are not restrained by the fear of mutual assured destruction in the way that the old Soviet Union, for all its horrors, was. Poison gas obviously did not have a very good deterrent effect on great power war, although it did seem to deter its own use (chemical weapons were deployed and their use considered during WWII, but rarely used). Chemical and biological weapons have vastly different characteristics from nuclear weapons (for one thing, chemical weapons were mainly used on battlefields against soldiers, whereas nuclear weapons are primarily terror weapons used on civilian targets (cities)). Biological weapons are also extremely problematic as weapons in either category, since they are inherently impossible to contain once deployed. I agree that they are the biggest danger on the horizon, because the technology for their manufacture is becoming increasingly cheap and accessible to anybody. Nuclear weapons still require the resources of a state to develop, but bioweapons can be manufactured in a garage with very little investment, with rapidly decreasing costs and increasing capabilities as technology advances. Of course poison gas did not deter war between great powers, but (as you acknowledge) its first uses deterred its future use as a weapon. How does this differ from what we have observed with nuclear weapons? The great powers did not go directly to war with each other (perhaps fearing that to do so would lead to nuclear exchange), but the Cold War period was marked by numerous incidents of proxy warfare, as, e.g., in Vietnam, where the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong were Soviet proxies against the United States, or in Afghanistan, where various native groups were U.S. proxies against the Soviets. These hostilities simmered at levels that could be, and were, backed away from before rising to the level of nuclear confrontation. You are right about the comparative technical difficulty and expense involved in producing nuclear weapons as compared to biological weapons, but in fact the costs of both have declined. That Iran or North Korea appear to have or to be about to have nuclear weapons technology illustrates this. What is worrisome is that some of the powers that possess nuclear capacity do not seem to be as restrained by the prospect of mutual assured destruction as the superpowers were. Ahmadinejad knows that if he were to nuke Israel, there would be retaliation that would leave many Iranians dead. How likely is it that he cares? How indifferent to consequences for themselves are some other possible users of bioweapons, whether states or other entities? No one, Soviet or American, wanted to bring about apocalypse during the Cold War; that's why it didn't happen. The same restraint is not evident among emergent members of the nuclear/biowarfare "club" today. There is a vast difference between WWII (a balls-out total war) and the Cold War (which was called that for a reason). I'm not sure what your point is -- are you arguing with me just to argue? If your position is that nuclear weapons are not qualitatively different from previous military technologies, well, that's just silly. I don't know that much about Ahmadinejad, so maybe I'm wrong, but my guess is that the degree to which he cares about the lives of ordinary citizens is comparable to that of any other political leader -- that is, not that much. From Roosevelt to Hitler, from Ahmadinejad to Obama, part of the job of a head of state is to willingly sacrifice the lives of ordinary people for the sake of the glory of the nation and its leader. In other words, I reject your implied premise that the leaders of other nations are especially amoral or insane when compared to our own. 1. Thermonuclear weapons, like poison gas before them and biologival weapons after them, were 'ultimate weapons' that served more as threats than in actual use. Gas warfare in WWI was so horrible that it was not used in WWII, even though every participant was prepared for it (and, yes, civilian populations were threatened - gas masks were issued to them in some cases). The two instances of nuclear bombing in WWII served to assure that it was never used again despite the low-level conflicts that arose worldwide between the Soviets and the U.S. The mere threat of biological warfare prevented its ever being used in those conflicts. 2. I never said that the leaders of other nations are especially amoral or insane compared to ours. Indeed, I pointed out that the Soviet Union was restrained by the same fears that restrained American use of nuclear weapons. Your description of the duties of a commander in chief are a bit off the mark. As Patton observed, the job of a soldier is not to die for his country, but to make the other son-of-a-bitch die for his. A prudent commander at any level bears this in mind and tries to inflict as many casualties on the enemy as possible while minimizing casualties on his own side - not "willingly sacrificing [their] lives". Commanders who fail to do this - e.g., the British and French high commands in WWI - do not go down in history as having enhanced "the glory of the nation and its leader." The Soviet Union, for all its awfulness, was a civilized power - as were Germany and Italy in World War II. They observed the laws of war as commonly understood at the time. In that, they were no less moral or sane than American leadership. Can the same be said of Ahmadinejad, bin Laden, etc.? If your position is that the latter are not qualitatively different from the former European enemies of this country, well, that's just silly. Pershing or Arthur MacArthur would have known better - both of them fought Moros in the Philippines, who were not behaviorally different from the current crop of Muslim fanatics - just less well armed.

Q: angular js animate to scroll to top of viewport I am new to angular and trying to do something that is already working in Jquery. I do not want to use jquery and angular together and wanted just code it in angular and need some help using this in a directive. // Calculate the current scroll position... scrTop = (window.scrollY || window.pageYOffset); newTop = $elemt.offset().top - 20; //$elemt: an Object representing a jQuery selected page element. diff = newTop - scrTop; if (Math.abs(diff) > 20) { newScrTop = scrTop + diff; //where NAV_HEIGHT of div id corresponding to the element in the top navigation if (diff < 0) newScrTop -= NAV_HEIGHT; if (newScrTop < 0) newScrTop = 20; jQuery('html,body').animate({scrollTop: newScrTop + 'px'}, 1000); A: Angular is based on a lightweight version of jQuery (jqLite) thus you can simply use your code in angular even if you remove your explicit jQuery import from your page

Wouldn't licence its Lightning dock connector Shares It's a story of David vs Goliath, but in this version Goliath has rather cruelly crushed little David. Apple has closed down a Kickstarter project by refusing to licence its Lightning charger. So now the POP portable charging station won't see the light of day, and the technology and design lab behind it has to return the $139,170 in funding it received on the crowd-sourcing website. The POP was going to be a portable charger that let you juice up your Apple device, among other phones and tablets. Apple, not happy with its iPhones and iPads sharing the stage with rivals, didn't licence its Lightning dock, and so the team have had to abandon the project. Understandably peeved The team at Edison Junior, the company behind the POP, are understandably annoyed, and aren't shy about letting it be known. "We are pissed," CEO Jamie Siminoff told VentureBeat. "I think they are being a bunch of assholes, and I think they're hurting they're customers." Edison Junior will have to foot the fees from credit cards as well as the Kickstarter charges. In total, that amounts to more than $11,000. "We would have loved to have made the product," Siminoff said. "At the same time I feel like we're making the correct decision… I'm not willing to compromise on the product." He guaranteed all backers would get their donations back in full. And he had a word of warning for Apple over its business practices. "When you do things that are bad for the customer… I think it will be bad for them," he said.

A case-control study of suprachoroidal hemorrhage during pars plana vitrectomy. To investigate the risk factors associated with suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) during vitrectomy. Of 6971 pars plana vitrectomies performed between May 1988 and December 1994, SCH occurred intraoperatively in 12 (0.17%) cases. Forty-two age- and sex-matched control subjects were selected by computer-generated random numbers. Preoperative and intraoperative variables were subjected to univariate and conditional logistic regression analysis. Statistically significant risk factors for SCH after univariate analysis included myopia (P = .048), aphakia or pseudophakia (P = .024), rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (P = .044), scleral buckling and/or encirclage at vitrectomy (P = .029), and longer duration of surgery (P = .044). Multivariate analysis revealed independent risks associated with the absence of a lens and longer duration of the surgery. A knowledge of the risk factors involved with SCH helps the physician to identify patients who are at a greater risk for this complication.

13 Platform Shoes You Loved In The '90s, Because They Were All The Rage — PHOTOS In case you haven't noticed, the '90s are making a major comeback in today's fashion world. Whether it's designers like Rihanna for Puma showing grungy looks on the runway, or celebrities like Vanessa Hudgens and Kendall Jenner paying homage to the decade in mom jeans and velvet chokers, the wildly stylish decade has definitely become relevant again. As someone who was born and raised in the '90s, the era of all things denim and leather will always hold a special place in my heart, so I'm totally on board with this resurgence. Looking back on the '90s now, certain iconic style trends immediately come to mind. Shiny leather and oversized plaid totally ruled '90s fashion (hello Clueless), but perhaps the one style that most dominated the decade was the platform shoe. You know you're a '90s kid when you have fond of memories of wearing out your double-decker flatforms (read: flat platforms). You know, those chunky sneakers that the Spice Girls wore all the time? Of course you remember. How about those Steve Madden creeper sandals with the thick stretchy band? My tween-aged self never left the house without those bad boys. Let's take a trip down memory lane and reminisce over all the awesome platformed footwear that we obsessed over in the '90s. 1. The Flatform John Stanton/WireImage/Getty Images For some reason, we were totally obsessed with these single-leveled kicks that sort of made us look like we were walking on stilts. 2. The Leather Platform Boot JMEnternational/Redferns/Getty Images The patent leather boot platform was the sexy stiletto of the '90s. 3. The Lace-Up Platform SGranitz/WireImage/Getty Images I remember watching Christina Aguilera at the VH1 Music Awards and falling in love with these platforms.

[The effect of blood serum components on the growth, biochemical and biological properties of streptococcus]. The components of cattle blood serum, added to the medium for the cultivation of group A streptococci, considerably decrease the period of adaptation and increase the balanced growth rate of streptococci, which is manifested by changes in the surface structures of the cell wall: the absence or modification of protein M. Streptococci grown under these conditions lose their capacity for phagocytosis, and from the cell walls obtained from these streptococci no surface protein M can be isolated by pepsin treatment. Nevertheless, the ratio of the main cell-wall components (proteins, polysaccharide and peptidoglycan), the amino acid composition, as well as the resistance of the cell walls to the action of trypsin and endo-N-acetylmuramidase are the same in M+ and Mx variants, that makes it possible to infer that the modification of protein M or the inhibition of its synthesis occurs during the growth of streptococci in the presence of blood serum components.

Q: iOS - Shadow spread on UILabel I want to increase the spread of a shadow in my UILabel but I can't find the property to do that. I have added a photo below to illustrate the issue. The top Label is the desired effect I am able to create in Photoshop. The bottom Label illustrates the properties I was able to find in iOS. Here is the code I used for the bottom Label. let bottomLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, maxWidth, 18)) bottomLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor() bottomLabel.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor() bottomLabel.font = UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(16) bottomLabel.text = title bottomLabel.textAlignment = .Center bottomLabel.numberOfLines = 1 bottomLabel.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: 0) bottomLabel.layer.shadowOpacity = 1 bottomLabel.layer.shadowRadius = 2 I did find a suggestion to use a second label as a shadow but this did not give the desired result. Here is the code for that Label. let bottomLabelShadow = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(0, 1, maxWidth, 18)) bottomLabelShadow.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor() bottomLabelShadow.textColor = UIColor.blackColor() bottomLabelShadow.font = UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(16) bottomLabelShadow.text = title bottomLabelShadow.textAlignment = .Center bottomLabelShadow.numberOfLines = 1 bottomLabelShadow.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: 0) bottomLabelShadow.layer.shadowOpacity = 1 bottomLabelShadow.layer.shadowRadius = 2 A: It seems to work for me in a playground. You just need to increase the shadow radius to make it appear as you want it. This is the exact playground code I used let view = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0,0,100,20)) view.backgroundColor = UIColor.yellowColor() let bottomLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 20)) bottomLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor() bottomLabel.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor() bottomLabel.font = UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(18) bottomLabel.text = "Testing" bottomLabel.textAlignment = .Center bottomLabel.numberOfLines = 1 bottomLabel.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: 0) bottomLabel.layer.shadowOpacity = 1 bottomLabel.layer.shadowRadius = 6 view.addSubview(bottomLabel) Or if you are using it over a blur view background, you could use vibrancy to achieve a better looking effect. A: //Try This! Hope this helps!! // Create a string let myString = "Shadow" // Create a shadow let myShadow = NSShadow() myShadow.shadowBlurRadius = 3 myShadow.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 3, height: 3) myShadow.shadowColor = UIColor.gray // Create an attribute from the shadow let myAttribute = [ NSShadowAttributeName: myShadow ] // Add the attribute to the string let myAttrString = NSAttributedString(string: myString, attributes: myAttribute) // set the attributed text on a label myLabel.attributedText = myAttrString As an extension: extension UILabel { func setTextWithShadow(_ string: String) { let shadow = NSShadow() shadow.shadowBlurRadius = 3 shadow.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 3, height: 3) shadow.shadowColor = UIColor.black.withAlphaComponent(0.5) let attributes = [ NSAttributedString.Key.shadow: shadow ] let attributedString = NSAttributedString(string: string, attributes: attributes) self.attributedText = attributedString } }

They're gonna throw a felony charge at him? I know they'll most likely let him plea it down to a misdemeanor, but still. I never understood the bad rap Crocs got from everyone. I've had my pair for 8 years and they've held up really well. They are perfect for wearing around the dock or on the boat and they don't really look that stupid...at least not bermuda shorts with black socks pulled up to your knees stupid. There's nothing wrong with crocs. Mine are "tan" colored. I chose them because they did not look like a gay pride parade float. And they work great for outdoor activity in the garden. I think the stop liking what I don't like image is needed here. The only crime here seems to be the wearing of crocs. Being a lifelong beach boy, happy with my sketchers sandals and trusty old navy flip flops. Bonus: don't look like .99 cent clearance insane asylum footwear! No lighter more comfortable footwear exists. And you can hose them off. [www.functionality.net image 500x500]Lighter, more comfortable, you can hose them off, and you don't look like a tool. Although apparently no one noticed, I said Crocs are great for gardening - unfortunately the same cannot be said for flip-flops, because there is NO toe protection which is essential when kneeling on dirt or yard debris... No lighter more comfortable footwear exists. And you can hose them off. [www.functionality.net image 500x500]Lighter, more comfortable, you can hose them off, and you don't look like a tool. I have hated all flip-flops I ever wore, no matter how well-made they are. I find the thong between the toes uncomfortable, they slip, and all of them managed to cut the skin of my feet at one time or an other. Actually, crocs are the only summer shoes I can stand to wear. But my God are they ugly ! They do make perfect beach shoes, though, especially for shingle beaches. I also use them in stead of slippers at home. I recently bought a pair of Crocs and have worn them once - to walk around a shelter on the Appalachian Trail after 15 miles of hiking. Wearing them beat the fark out of walking barefoot in the mud after taking off the hiking boots. I wouldn't wear them in public, but as gardening shoes or in the aforementioned situation they serve quite well. My father had horrible swelling in his feet and wore huge crocs to protect them around the house the last few years of his life.His feet/legs leaked fluid constantly and I had to change/wrap them 3 times a week. He wore the size 17 ones when he had the wraps on,due to the width(although they were long) also had a smaller pair and one of Dawgs in case his feet needed a smaller fit some days.

But the referee did not see this scene, there is no call, Reuters reported, in Brazil before the 25th, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Uruguay team may indicate their position and provide the relevant evidence, after which FIFA will decide whether to take punitive action against Suarez. Under FIFA rules, the most serious penalty is suspended for 24 games or a 2-year ban from a technical level, Suarez may not face punishment. But there was a video (has been repeated numerous times), may be used as evidence, so Suarez, have little possibility to get away with. On the Court, Suarez, known for his erratic temper and controversial behavior, he had received severe punishment for twice biting another, 2010 for the first time be suspended for 7 games, 2013 was banned for 10 matches for the second time. FIFA's decision means that Asia will keep 4.5 seats, Oceania 0.5 seats, 5 seats for Africa (2010 South Africa World Cup hosts South Africa qualify directly, which makes Africa had 6 teams in the World Cup game), 3.5 seats in North America, buy fifa coins European seat is 13. South Americas of seats remains 4.5 a, as hosts of Brazil directly obtained finals stage game of entries qualification despite 2014 years of Brazil World Cup does not on each continents of entries seats do change, but for last of additional game against will for must of changes, Asia 5th name, and Oceania champion, and in the North America 4th name and South Americas of 5th name will will through draw of way decided last of additional game against. In 2010 South Africa World Cup qualifying, play-off arrangements are determined well in advance, it is 5th in Asia against Oceania champion, 4th vs 5th place South America North America FIFA Secretary General Jerome valcke also said FIFA friendly match between the national teams will be on strengthening management. Of course, in the Barclays Premier League club have outstanding processing master, as most teams were more conservative, however, these digital gurus are often such as Prozone data service provider Club liaison. To change this status, Manchester City once in August 2012 for had once interesting of experiment, they opened has a name for "MCFC analysis on the" of project, fifa 15 fut coins bold to public has a large number of OPTA collection of two thousand eleven-twelveths season Manchester City related data document, and call any "love football and data" of people for analysis "has many people are like football, also like himself for analysis, but they needs data, and collection data needs money," Manchester City players performance analysis head Gavin. Frege said: "So, we give them data. "Their approach is considered a called" open source data analysis ", in an open database for 36 hours before it attracts more than 1500 users logon. However, one year after the operation of this project has been stopped, and its success is hard to assess the data or intuition? Oxford University mathematics professor Marcus. Du Satuo is a die-hard arsenal fan, in his view, the data analysis has the potential to be an x-factor, change the existing power dynamics of the Club. "Soccer is more like a chess game than people think," he said,http://www.the9.co.uk/ "a team of what happened in the game is not random, but with some regularity. Through the data, we can find these laws, and predicts things will happen in the future. In essence, this hedge fund managers do did anything different. ” Martinez's obsession with data analysis, well known at home that he put in a 60-inch touch-screen TV, combined with a Prozone analysis of player performance to record software, repeated every day, watch the video of the team, especially losing games, wildstar Platinum will watch more than a dozen times to dig one of failure. His ideas are highly creative, most teams are in favor of the traditional 4-4-2 formation, while Martinez coached Wigan team is 4-3-3, and 4 2 3 1 3 4 3 convert back and forth between. In short, he is especially suitable for the likes of Everton Club under the guidance of innovative Club in Martínez, Everton will record every movement of each player in training: "we use a GPS and heart rate measuring instrument to monitor the status of each player. From a physical point of view, the most significant data is the number of sprints, Sprint distance and each player puts the number of high intensity exercise. We are monitoring an entire season, you know a player is whether the current state of fatigue, as well as how long he needed time to rest. ” Martinez knows that if it is not treated, the data would be just a bunch of numbers, unable to give people inspiration. Thus, analyzing these numbers for somebody who is who has become a new problem. Was Moyes together with to United of technology ball exploration Director James. Smith said, phase more Yu North America career Union,http://www.gamesgold.net/, European football in data analysis Shang still has lacks: "Premier Club in processing these data of people usually are is movement science professional origin, I is which a cases," he said, "but in United States, you may will saw a Harvard method College or MIT computer science origin of people to dry such of live. Our United Kingdom Football Club has a problem, we brokers ' fees for transfer fees, Player salaries and spending too much money, so unable to attract sufficient high quality technical analysis staff. ” In this now in the age of big data, clubs, fans and professional media have been less likely to be a single data trees. Because they see an NBA player with 36 points a game while also saw him finish the team-40% attack, and each leg only 0.87 points, while his players attack per round scored with 1.12. They will also see another player while shooting only 35%, fifa coins but 12 times out of 7 times in the last 24 seconds, 3 seconds down, so his shooting was not his fault, but was back for his team "the scapegoat" sport Manager earlier than the media and fans to understand that. In 2004, Arsenal [Twitter] [Twitter] France Manager Arsene Wenger from the data that, France had an unknown kid named Mathieu. Mathieu Flamini, he can run a game 14000 m. This figure is really amazing, but this figure is not enough, because Wenger is not sure if he was running in the right direction. So, Wenger went to watch his match, came back, they decided to sign the young player but, in the age of big data, you do not need to see, to know whether a player running in the right direction. In 1998, the NBA Phoenix Suns, served 11 years video clip artist Garrick. Barr founded a specialized company records every NBA game data, they use a video track each attack round, and then into categories to each player generates "offensive tendency report." Two years later, http://www.4-k.co.uk/ he and the former Microsoft engineer Nils.Set up Synergy sports technology company Lal, NBA coaches want to refine the data in conjunction with each of the video. Like, Synergy records has Nowitzki in 1998 entered NBA zhihou of each once attack, through the data company provides of data, we on can knows Nowitzki to right or to left breakthrough of success rate how, low back playing scored errors than is how much, in 24 seconds of last moments shots hits how, etc to has 2011 years, NBA full Union 30 support team in the has has 26 support team using has Synergy of data system, ESPN and the NBA's official website, media companies are using the data to study the game, they even launched a universal version of the fan, just less than $ 100, combines normal fans can also find dozens of replays "advanced data" Everton counter attack.

Development of a glucose oxidase-based biocatalyst adopting both physical entrapment and crosslinking, and its use in biofuel cells. New enzymatic catalysts prepared using physical entrapment and chemical bonding were used as anodic catalysts to enhance the performance of enzymatic biofuel cells (EBCs). For estimating the physical entrapment effect, the best glucose oxidase (GOx) concentration immobilized on polyethyleneimine (PEI) and carbon nanotube (CNT) (GOx/PEI/CNT) was determined, while for inspecting the chemical bonding effect, terephthalaldehyde (TPA) and glutaraldehyde (GA) crosslinkers were employed. According to the enzyme activity and XPS measurements, when the GOx concentration is 4 mg mL(-1), they are most effectively immobilized (via the physical entrapment effect) and TPA-crosslinked GOx/PEI/CNT(TPA/[GOx/PEI/CNT]) forms π conjugated bonds via chemical bonding, inducing the promotion of electron transfer by delocalization of electrons. Due to the optimized GOx concentration and π conjugated bonds, TPA/[GOx/PEI/CNT], including 4 mg mL(-1) GOx displays a high electron transfer rate, followed by excellent catalytic activity and EBC performance.

General SportbikesThis area is for sport bike discussion in general. Topics that don't really belong anywhere else can go here. Questions can be answered and addressed to fully understand certain aspects of the sport. If your question is manufacturer specific please post it there. Sponsored by: TCX Boots I say BMW. I have been on an S1000RR on track and it was SWEET! I am used to riding a 2003 ZX6R on track and not unexpectedly (cause it was nine years newer at the time), the BMW was just worlds better. Damn those motorcycle development cycles. That being said, I do agree with this: "But most people would rather masturbate to magazine reviews than actually TRY a bike and make up their mind for their damn selves, and a maybe put a whopping $350 into a flash to completely transform its character." I'm sick of people, specifically you, Making Shit Up (tm) to try to prove their point. I don't know why it's so fucking hard to just say something that's accurate, realistic, and to the point. Bullshit again. That's not "sharing what you paid" - that's implying that the OP can get a new bike for that, vs having to pay MSRP for a new BMW. It's not an accurate comparison. It's intellectually dishonest. It's bullshit. Then every single number you cite is lowballed on the R1 side: throttle percentage, pricing (yes, I noticed that you backed up a $9K price with a $10K plus warranty price) - power gains. It's all bullshit - or at least so much of it is bullshit that it's not worth trying to pull out any kernel of truth from it. Which people are you talking about? The OP? He just asked for input so he DIDN'T have to rely on reviews. Me? I don't care about R1s at all - why would I want to try one? Who are you ranting about? This is called a straw man argument - making up a position that nobody is espousing and beating the crap out of it. Again, intellectually dishonest. Bullshit. How do you know that they would be a completely different story? Maybe they would rate the R1 differently - maybe they wouldn't. Maybe that fighting 4HP wouldn't be enough to change the relative position. Maybe if they gave every bike the opportunity to add warranty-revoking aftermarket mods, the R1 would still not win. And DAMN those magazine reviewers for quoting current year MSRP on all their bikes, instead of the local post-hurricane remainder price for just the R1! Stop lying. Stop Making Shit Up (tm). Stop the bullshit. Stop the blustering. Can't you? Can't you just say what you like about the R1 without weaving some kind of oppressed-underdog-fairy-tale-conspiracy-nonsense story around it? I've rode all the recent bikes and when you compare the R1 to the BMW stock it's night and day. Add the same mods to both and they aren't even on the same playing field. I love R1's being that was my first liter bike but, I won't mislead you and tell you a R1 can be a BMW without pumping a lot of money at it. A stock BMW is comparable to a R1 with motor work. I will leave it at that. Regardless, the R1 is a good bike but, it's just not a bike that you can compare to the BMW. A better comparison would be the new ZX-10R vs the BMW. I think that whatever 1000 you get, you will be happy. I sent a lot of time riding my dads modded SV1000S. Compared to my ZX10R that thing is an absolute pig. Thing is, in 2007, my ZX10R wasn't the best bike out there by an means. Honestly, the big thing that made me want it, is the fact that it was considered to have a fantastic motor. The grin factor is all I really cared/care about. After all, I only own a motorcycle because its fun. Why not just pick whichever bike you think you've lusted after more? Unless youre going to be swapping bikes a lot, it won't really matter how good or bad your bike is when compared with the rest. All the reviews say that ridden alone, each of the new 1000s are fantastic bikes...because they all are. Even though the R1 is one of the slower 1000s out there in stock form, it will still walk away from all but the most ridiculous super cars. I dunno. I just think that its easy to be happy with any motorcycle you buy these days. I wanted an R1 for the longest time...but then I found a good deal on my ZX10R....and I have been completely satisfied with it. I love it. Sorry guys, I mean no offense. I normally respect both your opinions, even when I disagree, but you guys reminded me of this: Sure! Just don't miss that the below was my actual opinion/advice to the OP before the nonsense started: Quote: I think the more important differences would be the distinctive sound of the cross-plane R1, and the power delivery differences between the two bikes. Which of those appeal to you, and do you want ABS or not? i think when asking whether which one to get in the first place doesnt make it a price war on mods. if you had a choice and price didnt matter why not start out with the bmw and then mod it. sure you could mod the r1 but the bmw is a better starting platform. Price is always a matter even when people say it isn't. Otherwise he would go buy a custom one off bike setup to do whatever he could ever want it to do and form fitted to his posterior. I dream about that ever day lol. Something like a 1000cc two stroke from a sled in a carbon fiber frame. Traction control and wheelie control please. Fine, if I'm "constantly" making stuff up, show me one other thread where that's the case. Not sure what the hell is your problem all of the sudden. I'm probably a lot more helpful than most members here, and I always go out of my way to put out well written and thought-out posts with actual information. Think I need a break from this place. Seriously, fuck you guys. I personally do NOT want you to take a break from this place. Everyone should get the sand out of their vaginas and realize that everyone is entitled to an opinion and moreover we are NOT supposed to agree. That is the best damned thing in the world about this web site and in fact about the gold old USA. Stop being butthurt. I respect your opinions. I don't agree with you about the whole R1 v. BMW thing - but that does not mean I don't still respect the place it is coming from. Deal? hm, multiple pages of LPMR presenting the logical opinion of "the R1 can be had cheaply if you look around and these are it's commonly cited issues _____________________, these issues can be fixed relatively cheaply, and still end up costing you less, if you shopped well, than the BMW." and then everyone else going "NO, THIS IS THE INTERNET, EVERYTHING IS BLACK AND WHITE, FUCK YOU, I ADD A (tm) TO A COMMON FUCKING PHRASE SO IT'S COOL. I'M FUCKING COOL!". No, you dolts. this is a question asked in the context of the real world. where MSRP doesn't matter a single goddamn bit (because idiots pay more than that, and smart, able-to-haggle-or-shop-people pay less than that), and cost fucking matters. everyone on the web likes to compare shit as if money is no object. Uh, it is. it always is. even when someone SAYS it isn't, it is. a leftover R1 for 9 grand? unlikely, but possible. a leftover BMW for 9 grand? LAWL, not happening (not around me anyway!) cost matters, so Brandon was attempting to put forth a cost concerned opinion. thats it. No need to get your sack in a twist. Christ. the bit about his list of former vehicles is put forth to show that's not some fanboy of "x" manufacturer. he buys whatever he wants/can, when it's found for cheap. that's it. he was smarter than you and got a good deal on a good bike. be done with it. In the end, I'd go for the BMW anyway, since I think japanese dealerships suck compared to euro/italian ones anyway. plus, I like the look of it WAY more. AND my ability to haggle over price is fucking nonexistent anyway. for reference: Yami dealer here has 2 2011 R1s sittin there beside a couple of sleds waiting to be bought. BMW dealer in stoon doesn't have a leftover S1000, that I know of. Tapdancing on the Ragged Edge of Weird since 1992 Quote: Just what a guy wants to know: that she spent ten years fucking every bad boy that gave her a moist-on and now she's "settling for him." Gee honey, thanks for letting me know how special I am to you. Ita LPMR moment ,it will pass . He is doing one of his hissy fit jesus things . All is fine if he is spreading the word and operating his revolving garage church . Making statments having people thank his statment ,thanking the people for thanking his stament ,all in a big group blowjob session . But now and then some come who dont agree ,they dont thank, they poopoo the revolving garage as false worship !!!. LPMR then has a hissy fit ,makes some swears , maybe puts up some pics of his guns , reminds everyone he is 6ft4 and 240lbs , perhaps issues a "get off my laaaawwn" threat , withdraws his image from the walls of the revolving garage should the unworthy gaze upon it .. then he stomps off and goes quiet for a few weeks .Comes back once he thinks everyone has forgotten that someone questioned the words of gospel and the charter of the revolving garage ... All normal and amuses me much .

Syndecans are differentially expressed during the course of aortic aneurysm formation. The syndecan family of cell surface proteoglycans can bind and modulate the activity of a diverse group of soluble and insoluble ligands, which have been shown to modulate events relevant to acute tissue repair and chronic injury responses. The expression of members of the syndecan family of heparan sulfate proteoglycans during the course of aortic aneurysm formation has not been previously investigated. In this investigation, the spatiotemporal expression of syndecan-1, -2, and -4 was characterized in a murine model of aneurysm formation. ApoE-deficient mice were maintained on an atherogenic diet for 8 weeks with concurrent infusion of angiotensin II (0.75 mg/kg/day SQ). The expression of syndecan-1, -2, and -4 at the site of aneurysm formation was characterized by immunohistochemical staining and colocalization determined by double fluorescent immunostaining. Correlative examination was performed on tissue specimens harvested from patients at the time of open aneurysm repair. In the aortic wall of age-matched, untreated mice, syndecan-4 was localized to the smooth muscle cells of the media. However, neither syndecan-1 nor syndecan-2 could be detected. Within 1 week of initiating a high fat diet and infusion of angiotensin II, syndecan-1 was abundantly expressed in infiltrating macrophages, predominantly localized to the periadventitial aorta. The expression of macrophage-associated syndecan-1 was accentuated during the course of aneurysm formation. As the aneurysm matured, syndecan-2 was abundantly expressed within the aortic thrombus and heterogeneous syndecan-4 staining noted within the aortic media. Significantly, abundant syndecan-1 positive macrophages were observed in explanted human specimens. Given the established functional properties of this family heparan sulfate proteoglycans, chronically accelerated macrophage syndecan-1 shedding could generate a sustained proinflammatory, proteolytic, growth-stimulating environment. As a component of a counterbalancing reparative process, cell surface syndecan-2 may assist in TGF-beta mediated responses to limit the growth of abdominal aortic aneurysms.

A person capable of having physical, romantic, and sexual attraction attractions towards both sexes. What bisexual is NOT: Sex fiends looking to hump everything in sight. Just a phase of confusion. A fad; though for some females it is considered "sexy" to be bisexual. A person who engages in orgies. (Though some do, I'm sure.) To be bisexual is to be attracted to a person regardless or gender or sex. It does not mean that you cannot make up your mind, it does not mean you are sex-crazed, and it does not mean that you will by default participate in orgies every night. Of course, there is probably someone reading this that DOES participate in orgies every night, but they would be in the minority. The often overlooked B in LGBT. A person capable or romantic and sexual attraction towards a partner of either gender. A person twice as likely to be turned down for a date on Saturday night. Someone who has to prove to the heteros that he is not gay, and prove to the homos that he is not straight. A trait hetero men find extremely attractive in women and seem to find frightening in men.

Why This Foreign Policy Director Says That a Simple ‘Please’ And ‘Thank You’ Can Go a Long Way by Hanna Halim - August 16, 2017 As the Director of Foreign Policy and Security Studies at one of the nation’s premier think-tanks, Elina Noor certainly provides a welcomed dose of #girlpower to the largely male-dominated world of Foreign Policy. She graciously took time out of her hectic schedule to speak with MissMafia about the lessons she’s learnt working in her chosen field and what her advice is to others looking to do the same. How did you come to find yourself working at the Institute of Strategic and International Studies (ISIS) Malaysia? A year before I joined ISIS Malaysia 2001, I was working with a think-tank in Washington, DC, focusing on weapons of mass destruction terrorism. I decided to return to Malaysia towards the end of my visa term limit in the US to further my professional interest back home. I had enjoyed working in a think-tank and was looking to continue doing the same. As the nation’s premier think-tank with an established track record in foreign policy, ISIS Malaysia was my preferred place of work. Good thing I got offered a position! Given your illustrious academic background, why did you decide to work with an NGO instead of going into the corporate space? I always knew that I preferred policy work over the corporate world in the conventional sense. I have had stints in the corporate world but can’t honestly say I enjoyed the work as much as I have in the public policy arena. The only space I really saw for myself in the corporate world, even as a law undergraduate, was in public international law – a portfolio these days glamourised by Amal Clooney and believe it or not, I had wanted to proceed in that same track! Perhaps I’m idealistic but to me, there is a more noble end goal in the latter where a greater values-driven good is served, whether it’s in contributing to national security or helping to create the rules of the road for state behaviour in an emerging domain like cyber space. Qualifier: This is not to say that corporations don’t also contribute to society! For the most part, the world of foreign policy is very much a male dominated one. Were there any instances where you struggled to be taken seriously because of your gender? Yes, in addition to having to battle the perception that I’m too inexperienced or look too young to be taken seriously. Those instances are not always obvious though they are discernible through facial expressions, body language or even verbally by the people I interact with. Sometimes they are more explicit, like when women are talked over by men who take it upon themselves to explain issues (i.e. ‘mansplaining’). Thankfully though, there is greater awareness of the importance of gender diversity and how poorly a meeting or conference is served by having an exclusively all-male panel (or ‘manels’ a I like to call them). I am also thankful to have bosses, colleagues and friends who are themselves strong advocates of women and the inclusion of more women at discussions on foreign policy, defence and security. From your own experience, do you think women are under-represented in the policy-making arena? Definitely but the women who have participated in, and contributed to, the policy-making arena have usually been strong role models and compensated for the lack of numbers through the quality of their presence. At ISIS, you’re currently serving as the Director of Foreign Policy and Security Studies. What have been some of the biggest lessons you’ve learnt in getting to that position? That you have to pay your dues and do the work if you want to rise up the ranks with credibility or be taken seriously with respect. That often, you just have to keep your head down and carry on despite all the BS. That “please” and “thank you” can go a long way. Image Credit: CyCon U.S What would your advice be to other women who are looking to break into the field of international relations and foreign policy? Be patient and persistent, smart yet modest, humble but forceful. It’s like that meme: Do no harm but take no $hit. You are an inspiration to a lot of people, young women especially. Tell us who inspires you. I wasn’t aware I was!! Personally, I take inspiration from my parents – my mother for her strength and my father for his patience and principles. In the professional world, I had a lady boss – Dato’ Dr Mahani Zainal Abidin – whom I viewed as a role model. She passed away a few years ago and I still miss her to this day. But I will always remember her as someone who was full of light, laughter, and practical wisdom. She was warm but firm and really believed in her younger researchers. Importantly, she loved her life beyond work. What motivates you to keep going? Genuine interest in, and love for, my work. It’s crucial to enjoy what you do. It’s equally crucial to take a break from it all, sometimes. What’s something interesting about you that we wouldn’t learn from your resume alone? That I have been a corner(wo)man in a boxing match, competed in wushu, and taught pole-dancing (thus cementing how seriously I should be taken in a male-dominated world…!). If you could liken your personality to a line from a song, which lyric would it be and from which song? Wow, this is a tough one! I guess it would have to be “She got her own thing” from Ne-Yo’s Miss Independent I am a reluctant PR practitioner with an unhealthy affinity towards Pinterest and Topshop. I make up one fifth of the marcomm team at YTL Hotels and for the most part, I like what I do but I’m always hungry for more.

Leprosy transmission in Bahia, 2001-2015: modeling based on Jointpoint regression and spatial scan statistics. to describe the trend and the spatial distribution of leprosy in the state of Bahia, Brazil, 2001-2015. this was a mixed ecological study of epidemiological indicators of leprosy; Jointpoint regression was used for the temporal analysis, while spatial scan statistics were used to identify clusters of the disease; the trend was classified as stationary, increasing or decreasing; we calculated the annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC). there was a reduction in prevalence (AAPC = -5.6; p<0,001), treatment dropout (AAPC = -13.7; p<0.001), and females with leprosy (AAPC = -0.6; p<0.001); the new grade II case coefficient (AAPC = 2.7; p<0.001) and the proportion of multibacillary cases (AAPC = 2,2; p<0.001) showed a growing trend; spatial distribution was heterogeneous and concentrated in three regions in particular (north, west and south of the state), with variation between the indicators. persisting leprosy transmission in the state, late diagnosis and high hidden prevalence is suggested.

A couple users that have 5,000+ posts say that they hate something and new member feel compelled to have the same opinion because they feel it will make them "fit in" faster. Just like....high school, LOL. 90% of the clowns that are on here that bash him are the same ones that would act like girls at a Jonas Bros concert if they saw him in real life, lol. Every film that Bay has done has been VERY entertaining, at least to me. I thought that he delivered on the first film. Especially since the guy never really even knew what a TF was a year before filming. __________________People want to believe the Joker contaminated him and you'd have to have a neurological disorder to, you know what I mean? -Gary Oldman A couple users that have 5,000+ posts say that they hate something and new member feel compelled to have the same opinion because they feel it will make them "fit in" faster.

Especially since the guy never really even knew what a TF was a year before filming. You can't be serious Sure, Bay has made some films that look pretty to the eye (until you get motion sickness), however they all lack depth. Usually the plot is paper thin, and the characters are two dimensional. Heck, he prides himself on teh explosions The reason he gets hate here from some posters is because when we, the old school fans, found out Bay was behind this film we instantly knew he would butcher what we loved about Transformers, we predicted what would happen and we were right, we got a crazy kid running around for a whole movie, a bunch of useless government babble, and an army recruiting advert. Oh yeah and a light sprinkling of robots. They should have called the movie The Humans featuring Transformers. Plus after all that Bay in his condisending way takes a stab at the fans like we are morons. Transformers isn't just about robots smashing the **** out of each other, they all had unique personalities, flaws, and dilemmas what we could relate to, it showed that we were not so different to them. People cried when Optimus Prime died in the animated movie, I can't see people crying if/when Bay decides to kill off Optimus Flame. The only positive that came from the Bay movie was brought on by the fans, and that was the decision of having Peter Cullen reprise his roll of Optimus, ugh imagine if we got someone else. My only hope for TF2 is that Orci, Kurtzman and Kruger give us more depth this time around, they are getting better at writing stories but their character development in screen plays needs much work. Bay is the one with creative control, if a movie is crap it's because of him, not the guy behind the desk. As shallow as his movies are they still make heaps of money and that's exactly what Spielberg wants, so really he has done the right job.

I just can't do it anymore :facepalm Ehren Kruger, apparently, has an encyclopedic knowledge of TF. He's also a very good writer, so I think it will be better. According to USA Today, the movie will be centered in Sam and Mikaela. Sam discovers something about the Transformer's origin (Maybe when he touches the Allspark) and their story on Earth (Problably in Egypt). That knowledge makes him a target to the Decepticons, that must capture him, and not kill him, as they we're trying to do in the last movie. In order to save Sam, Optimus Prime and the Autobots unite with a special team created by the government, and formed by Lennox, Epps, Graham, among other, to attack the Decepticons and destroy them. How the Fallen get's involved in the story, no one knows. Bay is the one with creative control, if a movie is crap it's because of him, not the guy behind the desk. As shallow as his movies are they still make heaps of money and that's exactly what Spielberg wants, so really he has done the right job. So if the director is to blame...regarding Spider-Man 3, how come a lot of people blame Arad and not Raimi for the awful film? The reason fans were pissed off at Avi Arad was because he forced Raimi to include Venom. Raimi was still the one in main control, he was the one that decided to include a cheesy jazz dance number. I completely agree with Avangarde, Bay is a great, great action director. But I don't think he has a clue on how to realistically develope characters or he is unable to write a story that doesn't some how include those bad ass marines and what not. AWESOME!!!! Please tell me they have got rid of that blonde girl who is strangely enough, smarter than every boffin that works for the US government. She can't act to save her life and the whole character is just stupid anyway. It's typical Bay, the woman genius has to be absolutely gorgeous. Optimus wanted to take care of the Allspark himself, knowing he could not take out Megatron himself. It was Sam's idea to kill the Allspark and Megatron. Hence to keep the story of the Autobots still with Sam. Otherwise...Optimus would be dead and the rest of the Autobots would have left in different directions in the country. Sure, Bay has made some films that look pretty to the eye (until you get motion sickness), however they all lack depth. Usually the plot is paper thin, and the characters are two dimensional. Heck, he prides himself on teh explosions For the record, I thought Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was waaaaay worse than Transformers and blame sPielberg. As crazy as Sam Witwickey was, at least he never sword fought a fake Ukrainian psychic standing on 2 jeeps which he later vine-swung faster than and commanded an army of monkeys. And personally, I prefer a crazy leading man over an overly-relatable, bland, boring one The reason fans were pissed off at Avi Arad was because he forced Raimi to include Venom. Raimi was still the one in main control, he was the one that decided to include a cheesy jazz dance number. I completely agree with Avangarde, Bay is a great, great action director.

She can't act to save her life and the whole character is just stupid anyway. It's typical Bay, the woman genius has to be absolutely gorgeous. Aha Bay didn't write Transformers the movie, nor did he write any of his films ppl need to start realizing this... especially the people that critique his story elements and lack of thought provoking scripts... no one says the same thing about the Farley Bros and their comedies(i assume it's them that made something about mary and etc), but when it comes to this man that has made about 6 huge summer action movies and succeeded )and not failed at something like Benjamin Button or American beauty).., he gets called a failure...tsk tsk success is defined by what your goals are... funny enough the retort being bay succeeds at making bad movies hawr hawr that being said apart from the island, just about all of bay's movies have been more successful then say Superman returns...which failed at being a relevant, engaging superman film... Transformers on the on the other hand... lets just say my 10 year old brother loved the show, and he really loved the bay movie. my 30year old aunt finds the show childish and pointless...and guess what? she feels the about the movie. success is defined by what you are trying to do... I would have loved for it to be Terminator 2, but it didn't need to be. (terminator 3 did tho) -end on a side note it would be so effin easy to finally stick it to all his naysayers by just "picking" a strong substance driven script(and if he can't i'm sure he has people around him who can...me for one) and just do what most these overrated minimalist filmmakers do and put the camera down on the tripod in front of the table and let the strong actors read the script... I love that people think he can't do that...yet praise singer for it time and time again...then when it came time for singer to apply some sort of visual direction to a film(u know step out from behind a good story and actually earn his keep as a director, visual translator to the audience) he just delivered the same tired old singeresque experience minus the good script...Superman returns 30years too late.. one day soon bay will stop wanting to make oodles of money, he won't care about being a cultural icon in the action genre(for better or worse), and he'll make a "good" movie one day soon, just to prove he can. peace. __________________ "I care because filmmakers now make films under crippling security because of parasitic gossip. makes movies worse" -James Mangold.

Various techniques have been developed for the bi-directional transmission of data over twisted pair wire and similar physical medium. Two standards in particular, Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) and Very High Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL), have demonstrated their beneficial use in such bi-directional transmission systems. ADSL is defined by American National Standard Institute (ANSI) T1.413 and International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) G.992.1 (G.DMT) and VDSL is defined by ITU-T G.993.1 and ANSI T1.424. These two standards, as well as other similar standards, are commonly referred to collectively as “xDSL.” ADSL, VDSL and other similar DSL standards operate in a frequency range above the band reserved for plain old telephone system (POTS) transmission. For example, ADSL typically operates at frequencies between 25 kilohertz (kHz) and 1.1 megahertz (mHz). In transmitting data within the prescribed frequency band, these standards implement a Discrete Multitone (DMT) modulation mechanism that transmits data as a plurality of tones in a corresponding plurality of bins (also referred to as channels, sub-bands or carriers), each bin representing a certain portion of the prescribed frequency range. In ADSL, for example, 256 bins, each having a bandwidth of 4.3125 kHz, are used to transmit a 256-tone DMT symbol. The multitone symbol then is demodulated at the receiving end and converted back to digital data. While providing for relatively high data transfer rates, the use of DMT over physical mediums such as twisted pair wire can be problematic in the presence of noise. Due to their relatively long length in typical xDSL applications (typically hundreds or thousands of meters), twisted pair wire loops may act as antennae by absorbing energy from radio transmissions. This undesirable absorbed radio energy commonly is referred to radio frequency interference (RFI). RFI is particularly problematic in ADSL and VDSL as a number of common radio transmitters, such as amplitude modulation (AM) radio transmitters and amateur radio transmitters (i.e., “ham” radios), operate at frequencies that fall within the frequency bands of ADSL and/or VDSL. Additionally, in DMT-based systems, such as ADSL and VDSL, RFI introduces noise into bins outside the RFI disturber's band due to sidelobe leakage. Due to undesirable effects of RFI in xDSL systems, a number of techniques have been developed to minimize RFI and/or its effects. One common method is to utilize shielding around the twisted pair wire loop. While reducing RFI to some degree, shielding typically is costly and often does not attenuate RFI to a sufficient degree. In recognition of the shortcomings of using only shielding to eliminate RFI, digital signal processing-based processes have been developed to remove the effects of RFI at the receiver. The following references are representative of conventional digital signal processing-based processes: Brian Wise et al., “Digital Radio Frequency Cancellation for VDSL, T1E.4, December 1997 (commonly referred as the “Weise method”); Frank Sjoberg et al., “Digital RFI Suppression in DMT-based VDSL Systems,” Proceedings of the International Conference on Telecommunications, June 1998 (commonly referred to as the “Sjoberg method); and J. Cioffi et al., “Analog RF Cancellation with SDMT,” T1E1.4, April 1996 (a modification to the Sjoberg method). Generally, these conventional processes are based on approximating the RFI and adjusting the received signal by the RFI approximation. An RFI estimation is made for every DMT symbol using measurements at a number of bins where the xDSL signal is not transmitted and this RFI estimation may then be used to adjust the corresponding DMT symbol. While the above-referenced methods may provide sufficient RFI reduction in certain instances, they have a number of limitations. For one, they are relatively complex computationally and therefore often require extensive storage and computational capacities. These conventional methods also often require more than one tone to approximate the RFI. Further, in instances where the RFI disturber has a bandwidth greater than the bandwidth of the DMT bin (e.g., a 6 kHz disturber bandwidth in an ADSL system using 4.3125 kHz DMT bins), the performance of these conventional methods may be severely limited. Accordingly, an improved process for RFI reduction in DMT-based data transmission systems would be advantageous.

That is your successful day since you will witness wonderful dark-haired Mia in extraordinary penalties activity. Whippersnapper is corded up and there’s not anything newborn posterior do in any respect and her sir is well-prepped to attempt his fresh playthings. Should you ask him, he’s going to let you know that there’s not anything nicer than tantalizing a gal with electrified strength and this is the reason he’s going to fasten the iron implements to her vagina lips. That hurts massive time, and this is the reason Mia is yelling so noisily. Ebony tights are making her glance much more infatuating and to not point out a taut ebony leather-based most sensible which isn’t even decorating her hard innate melons and rock-hard sensitized puffies. That’s what her sir luvs probably the most about her however he’s going to concentrate on making her jizm rock-hard. When he informed her to stretch her gams newborn were given panicked, since newborn knew that newborn goes to perceive critical anguish like by no means prior to. That made her succeed in an strenuous ejaculation and her lengthy gams embarked jiggling like by no means prior to. Mia was certainly one of his victims.

Guest Post by The Zman Are actors and actresses stupid? Are performers dumber than normal people? Like most people, I just assume this is so, because actors tend to say stupid things when not following a script. The actress Meryl Streep took to the stage at some awards show to say Donald Trump gave her the sads. I’ve watched it a few times trying to figure out what it is she was trying to communicate. Streep is a great actress so it was well choreographed, but it contained nothing more than some hyperventilating about imagined bogeymen. My take away from watching it is that Mx. Streep is not spending her free time working math puzzles. Even more obvious examples were on display at the Waddle in Washington this past weekend. Ashley Judd went on a deranged rant that suggested she needs to be in a nervous hospital again. Madonna of all people was carrying on about respecting women and committing acts of treason. Madonna, like all other performers, degrades herself for a living. Other than being a cautionary tale, she should stay out of any discussion about respecting women. Yet, this was lost on her and her fellow performers. The corrupt establishment will do anything to suppress sites like the Burning Platform from revealing the truth. The corporate media does this by demonetizing sites like mine by blackballing the site from advertising revenue. If you get value from this site, please keep it running with a donation.

[Jim Quinn - PO Box 1520 Kulpsville, PA 19443] or Paypal That brings us back to the original question. Is Madonna stupid? Judd apparently has had a lot of mental problems, but Madonna and Streep have no history of mental illness. Short of handing out IQ tests, there’s no way to know if performers are unusually stupid, but perhaps there are other cognitive traits that performers have in abundance that present as a low IQ when displayed outside the narrow realm of the stage. Quants are super smart, but lack social skills, so they are often assumed to be retarded. The first thing that springs to mind is that you need a near total absence of self-respect to be a performer. It is, at best, a degrading way to make a living. Anyone who has stood in front of a crowd to give a speech knows it is not as easy as it looks. Imagine standing in front of cameras, pretending to be someone else, while a crowd of people watch you play make believe. Often times, the job requires the performer to make a fool of themselves or do degrading things for the amusement of the crowd. Most people will not do it. Even if you put limits on how much you will degrade yourself in public in order to be a performer, it is a humiliating road to success. Even the greatest thespians started out as complete hacks, often being laughed at and yelled at for being dreadful on stage. Movie and TV people get their start in terrible shows or making commercials for things like hemorrhoid cream. Then there is the casting couch, which is a feature of the business for both sexes. Male actors spend their youth biting a pillow or something else. There’s something else that is universal to being a performer and that is a near total inability to judge risk. About one tenth of one percent of people who go into show business end up with a productive career as a performer. Most struggle for years and drop out or go into some other part of the business. New York and Los Angeles restaurants are famously staffed with the next big stars of stage and screen. Going into show business is about as logical as spending your life savings on lottery tickets. This is probably why performers have money woes and tax problems. Just google actors and tax problems and you get half a million hits. People who are terrible with risk assessment are probably never going to be very good with their money, no matter how much they make. Nicholas Cage has probably earned half a billion dollars in his career and he is broke. People with any sense of risk assessment will not waste their life chasing a dream that is unlikely to materialize, but that’s what it takes to be a star. Of course, the big key for any performer is their ability to draw attention to themselves over the others, who are also good at getting attention. The world is full of pretty blondes, who know their way around a penis. In order to gain the attention the star makers, you better be really good at standing out in a crowd of beautiful people with the same dream as you. This is why famous performers often have some weird tick or skill. Samuel L. Jackson got famous because he is a living satire of the militant black man. There’s something else. Performers are much more likely to make it when young than old and young is defined as teens and 20’s. It’s why so many of the top starts are people who literally grew up in the business. Their parents were in the business in some capacity. This means that the typical star is someone who has had little exposure to the world outside acting. Even those who left home and went to Hollywood to become stars as young adults have had little experience with the normal world. Most Americans have never been to Africa so they only know about the place from books and television. As a result, Americans talking about Africa sound like morons to people who have lived in Africa. This is the problem for performers. They talk about America as if it is a foreign country to them. That’s because it often is a foreign country. How much does Meryl Streep know about America at this stage of her life? She has been cooped up in a museum for decades. Death row inmates have a better feel for America than actors. That brings us back to where we started. Are performers stupid? The safest answer is yes, they are very stupid. Being stupid makes it easy to not notice the long odds of being a performer. Being stupid lets these people avoid thinking about the moral dilemmas that are inevitable in the business. Those who are not stupid are so divorced from reality that they can no longer apply their intelligence to the normal world as it has become a foreign place for them. This means that most of the stars are both stupid and ignorant, which is why they so often sound like drooling idiots when speaking off-the-cuff.

When I reviewed the pilot episode of HBO’s latest grandiose series, Westworld, I predicted great things to come. We are now through six episodes, and while the show is breathtaking from a cinematography view point, the acting is spot on, the premise is enticing, and DAMN there is a lot of nudity, it just feels like something is missing. Perhaps it is my own personal let down from the past season of Game of Thrones, where every episode built on each other to end in a crescendo that left me on the edge of my seat. Perhaps it is the fact that outside Maeve (the amazing Thandie Newton) and Dolores (the genuinely likable Evan Rachel Wood), the characters are for the most part deplorable. Let’s take a look where we stand so far. The Man in Black Ed Harris knows how to play a baddie. From his rustic look, to his deep voice, he exudes villain. In Westworld, he portrays a nameless guest to the park (if you are unfamiliar with the premise, everything that happens is set in a wild west theme park, where guest pay a ton of money to experience gun fights, saloons, brothels, and the like. The “hosts” are sophisticated androids that are incapable of harming the human guests and are fixed and have their memories erased on a nightly basis). He has been coming to the park his entire life, but now wants to learn the inner secrets of The Maze, a sort of end game that only the elite players can reach. He is a ruthless man in both this fictional universe and in the real world as a corporate executive. The issue I have is that while the show-runners are attempting to make this maze a big reveal, I honestly don’t care and certainly can’t invest in TMIB. Perhaps if it were a gentler character that stumbled upon the maze, it would hold more meaning. Now he has in his employ the cowboy Teddy Flood (James Marsden). He is the “oh shucks” beau of the comely Dolores, or at least that is what his programming tells him. Logan & William Logan (Ben Barnes) and William (Jimmi Simpson) are guests at the park. Logan is an egotistical prick, who happens to be William’s boss and Brother-in-Law. Logan is trying to unleash the potential asshole in William, but Will doesn’t want to go down that path. Even though he is fully aware that the hosts are not human, he is reluctant to kill, rape, and pillage. The duo end up with Dolores, taking her on a quest. It is clear that William is developing real feelings for her but to be honest, he is a complete bore. I would applaud his moral high ground if there were any stakes to it, but there aren’t. Unless something big happens in the last four episodes of the season, these two seem more like a distraction to me. The upper floor Corporate espionage? Back door dealings? Corrupt board of directors? All of these plot devices are useful to the drama of a show and while they usually generate intrigue and suspense, here they generate a strong desire to fast forward my DVR. Theresa (Sidse Babett Knudsen) is in charge of operations who has a deep distaste for both the park and it’s creator, Robert Ford (Sir Anthony Hopkins). She is involved in an intimate relationship with the head of programming, Bernard (Jeffrey Wright), which, once again, should be titillating. It just isn’t. I will preface this to say that come episode six, this angle became extremely interesting when Bernard’s employee Elsie (Shannon Woodward) stumbled across a satellite signal that is transmitting to an empty part of the park, and then disrupting the protocols of first generation hosts-such as Dolores and Maeve. This could be the hook that keeps the ball rolling for the remainder of the season. Wright’s Bernard is at the center of it all and his cool demeanor could outlay something far more sinister perhaps than we are willing to see. Then again, he could end up the hero of the whole show. Only time will tell. Sir Hopkins is bat shit crazy Mr. Ford is a visionary. He is building next generation hosts, expanding the park, and looking to bring even more wealth and happiness to the board. But he is seriously disturbed. From threatening his underlings, to housing his actual family in android form, he is becoming increasingly unhinged. And now the mysterious Arnold, with whom he built the company but who died tragically at its inception, seems to have reappeared and is behind the disruptive signals to the hosts. Or is he? Ford might be the real bad guy in Westworld. And all that is good in the Westworld The absolute gems of the show are the ladies. Maeve is the fiercest brothel owner one could ask for, but she believes she is going mad. The signal referenced previously is preventing her from fully entering sleep mode, so while her first few experiences in the bowels of the robot repair shop were startling, she has retained the memories that seemed like dreams, but are now an opportunity for her to escape this artificial life and like Pinocchio, become a real girl. Dolores is the other light in a dark world. Her sweetness and caring are infectious but the signal is affecting her too and she is becoming more determined to discover its meaning and get answers as well. Both ladies are acting the hell out of this thing. Westworld is a very good show. The production value alone is stunning. But I want more than good. I want EPIC. I will admit that the last episode set us on a course past good to great. I can only hope that the remaining installments send us to the moon. There are some interesting theories out there that could come to bare in the last half of the season: Is the show a time jumping narrative, with perhaps the MIB and William being the same person at different points in time? Is everything that is occurring simply a product of Dolores’ super processor and her “glitches” are actually memories of a time gone by? Are Bernard and his fellow programmers actually androids themselves and everything happening with Maeve and the signals an expansion pack of the main game? Teddy is a wholesome, hero cowboy that loves Dolores and wants her safe. Or is he? There is mounting evidence in flashbacks that he may be the murderous bandit Wyatt. **Let us know your thoughts on Westworld! Do you think that it has been exceptional or just ok?**

This blog has been around for over two years now, and I was 75 when I first started it. I am now 77. My financial struggles continue, but I don't take it as seriously as I used to. When you really start to get up there, age-wise, you can become more irritable but you can let go of things which once bothered you a lot. A night on the streets with my family isn't necessarily a depressing thing anymore. I've had some emotional problems here and there, but when I wake up in the morning a diaper full of shit doesn't piss me off like it once did. (I don't mean to be gross but these kinds of health problems can happen if you're well into your senior years!)Its been quite a while since I've posted on this blog. I'm looking forward to the November 6th election, with the hope that Romney will win even though I think Obama will. People who don't vote, are like people who give up. I make sure to vote in every election, even though I might easily be dead by the end of this next presidential term. I've become more interested in current events and I've even been involved in charitable works such as working at the local homeless shelter once a week or so (despite my own status as a hobo!) I'll often times hang out at bars and order a glass of water to look like a customer (but its still loitering.) I've been kicked out a couple of times before, but they were really nice about it ("I'm sorry, but you can only be here if you're going to drink, or gamble"). I always used to dream of retiring with enough money to support myself, but the chances of that are mostly gone.To sum it up I work less than I did when I first started this blog, mainly because of reputation problems and a smaller part of it is that I'm only getting older. I'm less driven, and less goal oriented, but I'm also calmer and happier. My vocabulary has gotten a little smaller too- I've read some past publications and I needed to have a dictionary at hand. The new onset of indifference has helped reduce symptoms of depression. I'm less interested in seeing a therapist or a psychiatrist at this point; I just want to be my own man. If I could afford a better computer or a web cam, I'd put up a photo of myself right now- I've let my hair grow long, I have put on some weight, and I have a goatee. All of this is by choice- It didn't cost me much at all when I was clean cut.Peace.

shaun-howell: Let me clear this up for all of you… Two weeks ago, during the live Twitter event for THREE’S A CROWD, an LARGE group of BRONIES (their description) attacked Sibsy, Meghan McCarthy, and all other show staff present for the BRIEF background appearance of Flash Sentry on the train platform. He did nothing, he said nothing, he just stood there for 8 seconds and left. For the GREIVOUS crime against everything right and beautiful, those present were called lying cunts, assholes, and several death threats were issued. And so, for the last two weeks, I’ve been calling them out for this. It was childish, vulgar, and at the very LEAST, impolite. So let’s go through this a point at a time… - While Lauren crafted MLP FiM as an all ages show, it’s target demographic is still kids. Kids (well, their parents) buy the VAST majority of the toys and merch, and HASBRO will ALWAYS default to that demo in ALL decisions concerning the show. The show IS NOT, HAS NOT BEEN, NOR WILL BE produced to appease the adult demo. - HASBRO very MUCH loves and appreciates it’s adult viewership, and has thrown us quite a few bones in the last 4 years, but we’re still just a TINY sliver of the pie chart. They watch what we do and produce content from those observations, but rarely listen to our stupid ideas or suggestions, and in a just and sane world, that’s exactly as it should be. - We got Equestria Girls because HASBRO (like Mattel and several other toy companies) saw the popularity of MONSTER HIGH and wanted to try and appeal to that buyer base. Now, understand that HASBRO has DOZENS of properties in their control and could have picked any of a number of them to re-imagine into a series of dolls (such as Strawberry Shortcake, por ejemplo). But looking over all the humanized MLP art created by us, they decided to go with Equestria Girls, and guess what? It did GREAT! I know, you’re saying “But I Didn’t Like It, And Neither Did Anyone I Know!”. Yeah, but once again, that pesky target demo swept in and gave HASBRO very satisfying numbers on both the cartoon and the dolls. Hence, MORE dolls, merch and another cartoon. - Meghan McCarthy didn’t lie, so just drop that crap. When asked on Twitter a few months ago if Flash Sentry was going to be a character in Season 4, and she answered TRUTHFULLY, no. Standing there and saying nothing for 8 seconds doesn’t make you a character, it makes you a background pony ( a real one, not like Applejack). But bronies wanted Equestria Girls to not only be non canonical to the main story, they wanted it to be GONE! So this reminder that the two are STILL connected sent these DUMMIES into a petulant frenzy, slinging spaghetti hither and yon. For what? A lie that wasn’t a lie and a character that wasn’t a character. - Do you folks follow the show staff on Twitter? I do and it’s quite enlightening. Bronies are now being openly MOCKED by the writers and deservedly so. Constant trolling from Jason and company about all alicorn casts, waifu stealing, and the like, based off their sperglord encounter. Are you proud of this? Do you feel good to be reduced to a punchline? And remember, you’re a VERY small part of the market; you have NO clout with HASBRO via pointless threats of a bouycott. Now you can BET that Flash Sentry will make AT LEAST one more appearance, probably more. Again, congratulations. - After all of this (and the coming shitstorm off of tomorrow’s episode), why would HASBRO lift a finger to do ANYTHING for this fandom? Don’t try to make the flimsy excuse that “Well It Was Just A Few Guys Claiming To Be Bronies, Not All Of Us!”, because NONE of you decried or criticized these folks for their actions. So to HASBRO, this fandom is coming off like a bunch of self entitled psychos that could be potentially dangerous to any of their people at an MLP event or convention. Again, why would they risk it? - I DEFY you to name another corporate entity that has done as much as HASBRO has for Bronies. C’mon, let’s hear it. They embrace characters we love, feature characters we’ve built up, and made merch SPECIFICALLY for us! God knows they didn’t have to, but they did because the REALLY did appreciate the love and support we gave this show… and you’re giving them ample reason to regret that decision. So if you’re mad about my gentle teasing over fedoras, waifu stealing, or just how much Twilight Sparkle is looking forward to her weekend getaway to the Crystal Empire, then maybe I’m not the Tumblr to be following… because I’m doing FAR less damage to this fandom than some of you are. -

Q: Can I replace placeholder text in a rendered HTML page dynamically? I wish I could think of a better way to word my question, but basically here is what I want to do: in an HTML file, I would like to fill the body with a specific string multiple times. For example: <div> This is some content. XXX </div> <div> This is some more content. XXX </div> <div> This is even more content. XXX </div> Then, I would like some script to go through the page, and replace every instance of the string (in this case XXX but it could be anything) with an incrementing number, so, like: <div> This is some content. 001 </div> <div> This is some more content. 002 </div> <div> This is even more content. 003 </div> This is a simple example of course, and you might be thinking well that's dumb, just type the numbers. But obviously this is simpler than what I'm intending to do, and right now what I'm building, the order of all the content has not been decided yet, so things could move up or down in their placement on the page, but I'd like all the numbers to be sequential in order of their appearance on the page. So, final thoughts: I am super sure there's a way better way to do this than I'm even thinking of, methodology wise (i.e., make an XML table or something). I am definitely open to ANY suggestion on how to do this, but I am kind of an idiot so if your answer is "pff this would be super easy in Ruby just use Ruby", that's not gonna really get me where I need to be. Also if this has already been answered, it was hard to think of how to word the question to search for previous answers so I apologize in advance if I didn't find the pre-existing answer when I was searching. A: You can easily do this with CSS counters, sample here: CSS ul { counter-reset:list; } li:after { counter-increment:list; content: " (" counter(list) ")"; } For some more advanced examples visit the MDN documentation page. A: You could use PHP to achieve this. If you've had no experience with it, it does integrate with HTML easily. Basically you write your html as usual, but you name the file .php instead of .html. Then you insert php scripts as follows, for example: <p>I can count to <?php nextNumber(); ?></p>. at the top of the page you should insert more script with a counter function: <?php $i = 1; $places = 4; function nextNumber() { GLOBAL $i, $places; print str_pad($i++,$places,'0',STR_PAD_LEFT); } ?> This may be better than CSS. It's not browser-dependant. Change $places to the number of digits you'd like to have (for leading zeros)

In the whirlwind of emotions that hit him after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, one of Paul Sinha’s thoughts was “This will make great material” for his stand-up show. “And so far it has,” said The Chase star and accomplished comedian, speaking to Society in his first media interview since revealing he has the illness, earlier this summer. “When I say material, I mean truthful, honest material, not just cheap jokes about having a shake or a tremor, but material about the reality of it.” Paul intends to now live life to the full, getting married and keeping busy with his quizzing and comedy careers – including performing at the Aberdeen International Comedy Festival in October with his new show Hazy Little Thing Called Love. “I don’t have any other option but to take a very active, pro-active and optimistic attitude towards moving forward. At the end of the day, that’s the only way I’m going to live my life to its fullest,” he said. “I can’t wallow in self-pity. I just have to move on and moving on means quizzing and performing comedy – the two things I love and want to do as much as possible. “I’m not going to lie, it’s obviously a blow. But my attitude towards it is you have to make the best of it. In that sense, talking about it and being funny about it and engaging about it and hopefully being a spokesperson for managing the disease in a positive way is my best way forward. Not just because it’s important, but because it will help my health if I take a positive attitude to the whole thing.” Paul, who was a GP before he moved into comedy and then becoming one of Britain’s best-loved Chasers as the Sinnerman, said his medical background meant he knew something was going wrong with his body. It started with a frozen shoulder that wouldn’t get better, then in March this year, he started to develop a limp and realised something was up. “I spent the month of May in New Zealand, touring there and the limp was getting worse, so I saw a neurologist as soon as I got back on May 30, and that was that,” he said. “I had about two or three weeks in New Zealand, doing a tour in an amazing country, the gigs were all selling out and I was having an incredible time. “I loved New Zealand, New Zealand loved me and everything was great, and yet I had this horrible sense of dread as to what to expect when I got back home. “Part of me, emotionally and psychologically, just never wanted to get on that flight back from New Zealand because of having to face the reality of what happens next.” As for the future, Paul is simply not dwelling on it. “I don’t know, I just don’t. But my priority is quality of life. I have an infrastructure of family and friends which is very supportive. But my priority is to make sure I enjoy myself. To not do so would be to let myself down,” he said. “I don’t know when it’s going to start getting worse, but I do know that I’ve probably had Parkinson’s for at least two years, I just didn’t know about it. And in those two years I’ve had an incredibly busy and fulfilled life. “That’s what I want to carry on doing.” At the moment, he’s fully involved in writing Hazy Little Thing Called Love, which he will be touring in the autumn, including his gig in Aberdeen. “As usual, it’s autobiographical and it tells its own story that this year is the big year that I’m getting married and the story of how I got to that point and everything in between,” he said. Asked how his wedding plans were going with fiance Oliver, Paul simply replied: “They’re going.” “It’s quite a straightforward wedding with relatively no frills. We’ve hired a pub out for the whole thing.” He will also be working his Parkinson’s into the show. “The material I have on it so far is very funny – that’s been the verdict so far of people who have seen it,” he said. Paul is keen to point out that while most people know him from The Chase, he started his career as a comedian 16 years before joining Bradley Walsh on the popular quiz show. “Even now, when I walk out and Bradley says it’s Paul Sinha the comedian, people still don’t know I do comedy. No matter what you do on TV that’s what people primarily know you for,” he said. “It’s a double-edged sword because there’s no doubt being in the public eye has greatly increased my ticket sales, so I can’t complain about it. “I think people can be a little bit surprised (at his stand-up). I’m not a blue comedian, but I do talk about adult, serious stuff on stage. It’s not just a series of anecdotes about Bradley Walsh. “But I do consider myself a good comic in my own right and not just for a Chaser.” He has been a lifelong quizzer, starting when he was in primary school, but said he has to work hard to amass that body of knowledge – with hours of reading and research – that makes him such a successful Chaser. “The Chase is great fun, but it’s still a job with the various tensions, pressures and anxieties you go through over the course of an episode,” said Paul. “But at the end of the episode, you just think ‘Aren’t I lucky I get to do this for a living’.” But it’s stand-up which is his real love. “It’s what I love doing more than anything else in the world. “Also, I love the fact you can literally stand on a stage and talk about anything. When funny stuff happens in my life, I’m always thinking how can I make that funny on stage. So, you have the whole of life and whole world to choose from. It’s a real luxury,” said Paul, who says he finds pretty much everything funny, from slapstick and puns to cutting clever political comedy. That said, his comedy hero is Harry Hill, who went to the same medical school as Paul. He said: “It’s the fact he went from being incredibly outside the mainstream, stylistically, to a well-known national treasure. It just shows if you work hard at something, you can bring your world to the general public.” Now he’s looking forward to bringing his world to Aberdeen fans in October. “Just don’t judge me on The Chase. I consider myself quite a nuanced and creative comedian, so don’t have any preconceptions based on what I’m like on The Chase,” he added. Hazy Little Thing Called Love is at Park Inn on Friday October 11 For more information and tickets visit aberdeencomedyfestival.com

The deadly new type of coronavirus that originated in China is a plague sent by God to wipe out LGBTQ people and other sinners, says an extremist preacher whose outlet — shock! — holds White House press credentials. “My spirit bears witness that this is a genuine plague that is coming upon the earth, and God is about to purge a lot of sin off this planet,” Florida minister and TruNews founder Rick Wiles said on his program Monday. He said the “plague” has been visited on China because of its “godless communist government” and that the U.S. is not much better. “Look at the spiritual rebellion that is in this country, the hatred of God, the hatred of the Bible, the hatred of righteousness,” Wiles said in a clip captured by Right Wing Watch. “Just vile, disgusting people in this country now, transgendering little children, perverting them. Look at the rapes and the sexual immorality and the filth on our TVs and our movies.” He said such plagues are part of the “end times,” a period of tribulations that will precede the second coming of Jesus Christ. The way to be saved from a plague and have the “death angel” pass you by is to repent of your sins and accept Christ as your savior, Wiles said. Wiles made a similar prediction about the Ebola virus in 2014. “Now this Ebola epidemic can become a global pandemic, and that’s another name for plague,” he said then. “It may be the great attitude adjustment that I believe is coming. Ebola could solve America’s problems with atheism, homosexuality, sexual promiscuity, pornography, and abortion.” The preacher, who is also known for virulently anti-Semitic views and for blaming natural disasters on LGBTQ people, was at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last week, courtesy of the White House. Five TruNews employees received press credentials to cover the forum, where Donald Trump and various members of his administration were present. “We want to thank President Trump and the White House for extending the invitation to be here,” Wiles said in a video from Davos. “We are honored to be here, representing the kingdom of heaven and our king Jesus Christ.” He said TruNews had received an email that the event was coming up, applied for press credentials, and was accepted. TruNews had no special access to the president, only the same access afforded other outlets, The New York Times reports. Its personnel asked questions of administration members in news conferences, as they had in the past. But the fact that it had credentials at all shocked many political observers, as Wiles had recently denounced the impeachment of Trump as a “Jew coup.” Jews are “deceivers,” he said in November, and “they plot, they lie, they do whatever they have to do to accomplish their political agenda. He added, “When Jews take over a country, they kill millions of Christians.” Credentialing TruNews is “a validation of their work,” Kyle Mantyla, a senior fellow at progressive watchdog group People for the American Way, which runs Right Wing Watch, told the Times. TruNews “sees it as the White House being on their side,” he said. ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl, president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, said his group has asked the Trump administration why TruNews received credentials for Davos but has not received an on-record response. “It’s puzzling that a known hate group would get press credentials from the same White House that revoked the credentials of a correspondent for a major television network,” he told the Times. In 2018, CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s credentials were revoked and were restored only due to a lawsuit.

"The two tendrils implanted in Omega Red's arms are made of carbonadium which was developed by Soviet scientists to counter our adamantium research."

"To make it compatible with human biology, it requires a device called a carbonadium synthesizer." "Without it, their super-soldier's operational time will be severely limited." "And he'll suffer painful side effects from carbonadium poisoning..." "You're going to steal this device, so that we can study it." "You that Omega Red guy I heard about, bub?" "Drop the carbonadium synthesizer!" "The answer's no!" "Then I'll take it from you!" "I'm going to give you a taste of the suffering that I went through!" "Take your stupid grudge and shove it!" "Dammit, the merchandise is burning up!" "There's not much we can do with this fire..." "Now!" "We're bringing them all in!" "I've got the evidence!" "Chief, we just recieved word from the docks..." "Logan interrupted the trade with a bunch of molotov cocktails, and it's turned into a mess..." "The product is... unfortunately..." "Right now, someone called Omega Red who was on the boat when it arrived, is battling Logan." "Do you want to take the call?" "Logan..." "Because you took the carbonadium synthesizer, my body has..." "It's because of you that my body is constantly under attack!" "I was put through hell twice, because of you!" "Sorry, but that thing fell into the depths of the ocean, bub." "And if you ask me, it serves you right!" "Well I'm going to send you to the depths of hell!" "Is this all the famous Wolverine has to show for himself?" "Where do you get off judging me?" "You're one of Wolverine's friends?" "!" "Anyone who gets in my way can join you in hell!" "I don't think so!" "Get down!" "Are you okay?"

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called for calm and "peace of mind," but attacked "enemies" questioning the presidential vote that has sparked the biggest protests in the Islamic Republic's history. Khamenei spoke publicly for the first time since the election Addressing thousands of faithful at Friday prayers at Tehran university after days of opposition protests against alleged manipulation of last week's presidential election, Khamenei said Iran's revolutionary society needed "peace of mind." "It is difficult to find the right path if you are agitated," Khamenei said at the beginning of his remarks, which traditionally focus on religious issues, without referring directly to the protests. "Today the Iranian nation needs calm," Khamenei said in his first address to the nation since the upheaval began. 'Enemies are targeting legitimacy' He said Iran's enemies were "targeting the Islamic establishment's legitimacy by questioning the election and its authenticity before and after (the vote)," "The enemy wants to tell people you should not have trusted in the state," he said. Protesters would be "held responsible for chaos" if they didn't end massive demonstrations. "The result of the election comes out of the ballot boxes, not on the street," he added, saying political leaders who engaged in extremist behavior were responsible for any post-election bloodshed. "Straight protest is not acceptable. This is a challenge to democracy," Khamenei said. Khameni rules out vote-rigging and cheating Khamenei rules out vote-rigging Khamenei added that the people had picked who they wanted as president in last week's disputed election and praised Iranians for taking part in the election, calling it a "a magnificent show of responsibility of the people to determine the fate of their own country." He said it showed the people's trust in the country's Islamic system. Khameni said there was a "definitive victory" and no vote rigging, offering no concession to protesters demanding the vote be canceled and held again. Khamenei ruled out any cheating in the June 12 election, especially as there "was a difference of 11 million votes." "How can 11 million votes be changed?" Khamenei asked. "Some supporters of candidates should know that the Islamic republic does not cheat," he added. Khamenei confirmed President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was re-elected with 24.5 million votes from the total of around 40 million votes cast. All challenges should be through legal means, Khamenei said. Again indicating his opposition to protest measures, he stressed that he would not accept any "illegal initiatives." People chanting slogans and holding posters of Khamenei, Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomenei, the father of the 1979 Islamic revolution, packed streets outside the university. Mousavi defied militia threats to join the crowds It was Khamenei's first public appearance since the controversial election was held on June 12. Iran's supreme leader, who is widely seen as backing the re-election of Ahmadinejad, has a final say on all political decisions in the Islamic republic. He said he would consider a partial recount after Ahmadinejad's defeated challengers lodged formal complaints of vote-rigging. No protest rallies were planned for Friday, but another mass protest was announced for Saturday. Keeping up the pressure on the Islamic regime over the disputed vote, tens of thousands of supporters of Mousavi carried out a demonstration in Tehran on Thursday, the sixth straight day of protests that have rocked the capital. Mousavi joined the crowds, most of whom were dressed in black as a mark of mourning for demonstrators killed in clashes during the protests, which have been banned by the authorities, witnesses said. According to the opposition People's Mujahidin Organization of Iran, a group which was recently removed from a European Union terrorism blacklist, 43 people have been killed in the protests, 30 of them in Tehran. State radio has reported seven deaths since the protests started. Protesters carried pictures of Mousavi and placards bearing slogans such as: "We have not had people killed to compromise and accept a doctored ballot box," one witness said. Mousavi appeared despite warnings from the hard-line Basij militia – which has been at the forefront of action against protests – for defeated candidates to dissociate themselves from "rioters." Council invites candidates for election review Meanwhile Iran's Guardian Council, which is in charge of approving the election process, invited Mousavi and two other presidential candidates, Mehdi Karroubi and Mohsen Rezai, to participate in a review of the election results on Saturday. The candidates claimed 646 irregularities in the June 12 polls, where Ahmadinejad won a landslide 63 percent victory, according to official results.

Q: Send over 1000 emails per day via gmail, amazon sns, or own smtp I'm trying to code a mail sender service. Previously I built a simple desktop application which uses my shared hosting mail server to send html mails. But now it's not enough and I plan switching to Gmail or Amazon SNS. For Gmail I have to use min 15 different accounts to be able to send up to 1500 emails. Also sometimes gmail blocks the accounts and I have to login and change the passwords. I've just signed up for Amazon SNS but it does not looks to what I need. You first have to subscribe users then send emails. Also emails are sent from no-reply@sns.amazonaws.com addres. Is this the all service or I can configure it as I wish? I also read some suggestions to lookup the MX records for the destination mail servers How to send 1000+ emails per day using an ASP.NET Web site I want a minimum cost solution. So which is best and is there a better solution? A: We use Mailjet for 3 sites now. Initially we used the free plan (6000 / month) to test the set-up and reporting. Now the 3 sites are run on it. Very satisfied - especially since they offer dedicated IP monitoring. According to us, it's rather easy to install. SMTP very easy and one of the sites integrates with the API. I'd recommend A: There are a multitude of services available for you that will allow you to send 1500+ emails per day and will get the headache of email deliverability off your plate. PostageApp (Ours!) SendGrid Postmark App Deliver Mailjet Take a look and see which fit your needs and have the implementation method that you are looking for. They each have a free service, so it's definitely easy to try. (Full Disclosure: I am the Product Manager of PostageApp. Let me know if you have any questions!)

Categories Meta Jane When I walked into family Christmas with my wife, at that time my girlfriend, for the first time it was a bit overwhelming. I was surrounded by at least twenty people, laughing, smiling, and hugging. As the night went on, we prayed before we ate a meal together. The men were strong yet gentle. The women were funny, beautiful, and I could tell were much stronger than first glance would show. I was uncomfortable when we prayed. I wasn’t used to this huge circle of people holding hands, bowing their heads and praying. I wasn’t even sure if God and I were friends. I knew that it brought back memories of myself as a child, knees locking, passing out on the floor of a Catholic church. As the years’ have gone by, I have become more comfortable with this. I have sat in waiting rooms with my soon to be official family while loved ones were sick. I have hugged necks and kissed faces. I have become family. I married my wife this past October. We had a tiny ceremony, with just our parents. I have begun to search for purpose, for God, for spirituality. I have even downloaded an app to give me a daily devotional to read. On December 21st right before Christmas, we sat in the lobby of a hospital with about twenty people waiting to hear news from a biopsy of my wife’s Aunt Jane. She was having trouble breathing, every other word was a gasp for air. She has had other cancers before but we were concerned because this was affecting her lymph nodes. We sat around as a family, while we waited for her to go back to surgery. We were VIP, we had family there who worked for the very hospital Jane was in. We didn’t need a “number” on the hospital waiting room screen to tell us what step she was in the process. We had downloaded the app to get updates as she went, and we had insiders who could let us know. The doctor gave us hope that out of all the lymph nodes removed, that none looked cancerous. We had hope as a family. A mixed, in law, blood, family. When Jane’s eldest son told us what the doctor had said originally, we all gathered and listened. Her sons, who are the biggest jokesters in the family, became silent and wet formed around their eyes. My wife immediately began to cry, she is such a soft soul. I followed her to the restroom to have a moment of silence and fear. While we were gone, the family prayed in a circle. Just like on holidays or events, they formed a circle and prayed. As told from a family member, the whole entire waiting room grew silent as our family prayed in that big waiting room. We left hopeful, and we knew that she would be on a breathing tube for a few days. Regardless, we had hope because the doctor told us it didn’t look cancerous. But here we get the call on a Tuesday night that the lymph nodes removed were in fact cancerous. That this is cancer. This family has been broken by cancer many times, but it never ever gets easier. Jane was one of the first people to hug me and say I love you. She is funny, loud, and she loves God. She preaches at any chance she gets, with her compression sleeve on her arm. Her compression sleeve that makes it look as though she has tattoos on all down her arm. No matter how much she loves God, she just knows God loves me too. She makes you want to believe in God, even if you’re gay. This family makes you want to believe God exists and even if we lose one, we are whole. We have each other and we can make it through anything.

A Florida firefighter is under arrest after an attempt at a drunken hook-up ended with her shooting at a man who was trying to leave her apartment because, as he put it, ” things were getting weird,” according to News10. Janeen McKenzie, a 46-year-old firefighter employed by Pompano Beach Fire Rescue, was arrested after sheriffs deputies arrived at the scene finding her standing over and pointing a gun at Anthony Santos as he knelt in the street. ADVERTISEMENT According to Santos, he met McKenzie at a bar and agreed to drive her home in her car because she was too intoxicated to drive. Santos arranged for a friend to follow in another car, but changed plans after discovering that McKenzie’s home was within walking distance of his apartment. After arriving at McKenzie’s home she invited Santos in for a drink, pouring a glass of wine for both of them. Santos said he took a sip of his then set it aside as they went into her bedroom and began kissing. According to Santos, McKenzie pressed her body against him and took his hands, placing them around her neck, indicating that she found being choked arousing. Telling deputies that he then attempted to leave because “things were getting weird,” Santos followed McKenzie into the kitchen where she poured herself another glass of wine. When he advised her that she had had enough, her demeanor changed and she had Santos open a drawer to observe that she had a handgun. Santos then began to exit the apartment. Gun in hand, McKenzie caught up with Santos just outside her door and, while flailing her arms around, the gun went off just missing his face. ADVERTISEMENT As Santos tried to walk way, McKenzie shot the asphalt by his feet several times, demanding that he kneel down on the ground. Santos complied, telling authorities that he thought, “Oh my God. I’m going to die over something so fucking dumb.” McKenzie then fired once more into the asphalt just as police arrived. Police ordered McKenzie to drop her weapon and took her into custody. She told police that she didn’t remember much of what had happened, but that Santos had been “choking the shit out of her on the bed” and she was afraid. ADVERTISEMENT Observing no bruising or marks on her neck, and smelling alcohol on her, officers arrested McKenzie on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Santos was taken to a nearby hospital to be treated from facial bleeding as the result of bullet fragments.

Q: Using container's children in react render as children Is it possible to use dom element(s) as children in JSX when rendering a component? I think this explains what I'm attempting but is invalid. <div id="container"> <div>node 1</div> <div>node 2</div> </div> const container = document.querySelector('#container'); ReactDOM.render( <MyComponent>{container.children}</MyComponent>, container ); A: Yes, it is possible using dangerouslySetInnerHTML, but it is not recommended. From the docs: dangerouslySetInnerHTML is React’s replacement for using innerHTML in the browser DOM. In general, setting HTML from code is risky because it’s easy to inadvertently expose your users to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. So, you can set HTML directly from React, but you have to type out dangerouslySetInnerHTML and pass an object with a __html key, to remind yourself that it’s dangerous. const {useState, useEffect} = React; function App(){ const [html, setHtml] = useState('Loading...'); useEffect(()=>{ setHtml(document.querySelector('#container').innerHTML); }, []); return <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: html}}/>; } ReactDOM.render( <App/>, document.querySelector('#app') ); #container { display: none; } <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/16.8.5/umd/react.production.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react-dom/16.8.5/umd/react-dom.production.min.js"></script> <div id='app'></div> <div id="container"> <div>node 1</div> <div>node 2</div> </div> Hope this helps!

Q: Why doesn't RandomChoice work here? I was using RandomChoice to run a simulation to test the probability that picking 4 marbles out of a bag containing 3 red and 7 blue marbles you get 2 red and 2 blue. Here's the code: ls = {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0}; ngood = 0; ntot = 1000000; Do[ If[Plus @@ RandomChoice[ls, {4}] == 2, ngood++], {ntot}]; ngood/ntot // N 0.26494 The problem is that probability can be easily computed as $0.3$. Using a code that avoids RandomChoice gives the correct answer: ngood = 0; ntot = 1000000; Do[ n = {}; While[Length[n] < 4, n = Union[n, {RandomInteger[{1, 10}]}]]; If[Plus @@ ls[[n]] == 2, ngood++], {ntot}]; ngood/ntot // N 0.29985 Does the first code example actually demonstrate a bug or am I doing something wrong? A: RandomChoice is not the correct function for your problem. It models the situation where you return a marble to the bag after you remove it and before you make the next choice. For the situation where a marble is not returned to the bag after it is removed, use RandomSample. marbles = {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0}; Module[{ngood = 0, ntot = 1000000}, Do[If[Total[RandomSample[marbles, 4]] == 2, ngood++], {ntot}]; ngood/ntot // N] 0.300757 We should all keep in mind $\qquad$RandomSample = sampling without replacement $\qquad$RandomChoice$\ \ $= sampling with replacement

Analysis: The right of women and their physicians' to choose vs. Kennedy's "professed concern for women's health" NPR: The Supreme Court decided this past week to uphold a statute passed by Congress that banned the abortion procedure called "intact dilation and extraction." While opponents of the procedure, which they call "partial birth abortion," declared victory, proponents of the original Roe v. Wade decision are concerned that this is the first step towards the elimination of a woman's right to obtain and abortion. Now at the center of the discussion after the Court's decision is the health of the mother. Many medical experts argue that this decision prohibits a procedure that is sometimes necessary to protect the mother's health. Remind us of some history. Roe v. Wade held that any prohibition against abortion had to have an exception for the mother's health, correct? Mimi Wesson: That's right. And so did later decision by the Court as well. The Congress, when it passed this recent statute forbidding the use of this one procedure, made a finding that there was a medical consensus that this procedure was never necessary to protect the mother's health. Justice Kennedy, in the majority opinion he wrote for the Court, admitted that this finding was erroneous. In fact, the prevailing medical view is that it is sometimes necessary for the mother's health. But Kennedy said that it was entitled to deference, this Congressional finding, because there was some disagreement in the medical community. In other words, because some doctors said that in their opinion this procedure was no safer than other procedures that the statute allows. And he also indicated that some deference had to be paid to the Court's moral and "aesthetic" findings -- that the procedure was "gruesome" and "inhumane." That's a pretty striking contrast to Justice Blackmun's opinion in Roe v. Wade which insisted on deference to the moral judgment of a woman and her doctor. NPR: There'a procedural part of Court's opinion that, although it's technical, may be important. Can you break it down for us? MW: Yes. The five justices in the majority held that future challenges to a regulation or a restriction on the availability of abortion had to be brought by someone whose personal circumstances made it clear that she would be hurt. That is, that her health would be threatened or her life endangered by the regulation. So it's not enough for some abortion provider who wants some clarification to guide her future practice to bring a lawsuit. In practice, this restriction is likely to mean that the only acceptable plaintiff to challenge an abortion restriction in the future is a woman who is already pregnant or perhaps her doctor. So this technical limitation is likely to make these sorts of cases challenging abortion restrictions very difficult to bring and see through to a conclusion. NPR: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote a strong dissent. She was joined by Justices David Souter, John Paul Stevens, and Steven Bryer. What were Justice Ginsburg's main points? MW: It was a very passionate and angry dissent that she wrote. Among other things, she took note of the language that Justice Kennedy used which she found partisan. For example, he talked about "an abortion doctor" instead of a physician or obstetrician, "baby" instead of fetus. He spoke of those doctors who had concerns about the safety of alternative procedures as having a "preference" or "seeking convenience." And another feature of the majority opinion that she really deplored was its suggestion on the basis of just one friend-of-the-Court brief that many women experience depression and disabling grief after choosing an abortion. So this is an alleged "risk to the health" of a woman that Justice Kennedy found to be one justification for limiting the availability of abortion. To Justice Ginsburg, Justice Kennedy has used the professed concern for a woman's health to limit abortion instead of, as in the past, as reason to make it available to the women who choose it. She found the suggestion that women can't be trusted to make this choice for themselves patronizing at best, reflecting a view of women more associated with the 19th century than the 21st. NPR: What do you expect as the result of this decision? MW: Immediately?... I expect some medical professionals who provide abortions after the first trimester to reconsider their willingness to do so. The unpredictability of how any medical procedure is going to go, the law's uncertainties -- these may instill in them a fear of prosecution that may cause them to reconsider their commitment to providing this kind of abortion. And I expect that in some state legislatures efforts will be made to pass legislation imposing new restrictions on or even prohibiting all abortions. I think one common sort of proposal will require women who seek even very early abortions to subject themselves to a sort of in-your-face description or depiction of the procedure and the developing fetus and the likelihood that they'll later experience some terrible regret. Some of this legislation will pass; some probably won't. Some laws that pass will begin working their way through the courts again if qualified plaintiffs can be found under the new technical rules. I think this issue is going to be with us for a very long time.

I'M TRYING TO IMAGINE THAT FACE ON ALL OF THEM NOW AND ITS KILLING ME

If a sociopath is someone who, because he is antisocial with no conscience, lies, manipulates and controls people any way he so desires, what is a narcissistic sociopath? The traits and behaviors of a sociopath are chilling enough on their own. Almost unbelievably, a narcissistic sociopath intensifies sociopathy and takes it to another level. People are toys to the sociopath; to the sociopathic narcissist, they are trash. Sociopathy combined with narcissism can be extremely dangerous. Beware the narcissistic sociopath. Officially, What is a Narcissistic Sociopath? The American Psychiatric Association (2013) describes and defines both antisocial personality disorder (the clinical term for what is commonly called psychopathy or sociopathy) and narcissistic personality disorder in its authoritative Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. Antisocial personality disorder is "a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others, occurring since age 15 years" is "a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others, occurring since age 15 years" Narcissistic personality disorder is "a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning in early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts. Those are separate definitions of these personality disorders. It is possible to be clinically diagnosed with both simultaneously. Cold callousness and lack of empathy for others, plus grandiose self-admiration and disdain for others equal a sociopathic narcissist who believes that she deserves to exploit people and dispose of them when finished. Narcissistic Sociopath is a Bad Combination Sociopath and psychopath are words that commonly describe antisocial personality disorder. Sometimes they're used interchangeably, but some experts differentiate between the two. Perhaps inserting narcissism into the mix might help people decide which term to use. A sociopath doesn't care if he's benefitting anyone. Cold, calculating, and manipulative, he doesn't think about others at all unless they can benefit him. A narcissist believes he's great, that everything about him is magnificent. He knows with unwavering confidence even beyond conceit that he's benefitting everyone around him and more (Narcissistic Personality Disorder Symptoms, Diagnosis. In reading a wide variety of literature, patterns become evident. It appears that it is a combination of these personalities that constitutes a narcissistic sociopath. Further, it's the description of a narcissistic sociopath that is the common conceptualization of the psychopath. Traits of a Narcissistic Sociopath How do you spot a sociopathic narcissist? Watch for certain traits: A driven quest for power. If a narcissistic sociopath cares about anything other than himself, it is destructive power and control over people. If a narcissistic sociopath cares about anything other than himself, it is destructive power and control over people. Behaviors that seek love and admiration . To be sure, this isn't needy love. It's not even emotional love. It's superficial. A narcissistic sociopath sees love and admiration as power tools to manipulate and dominate (Do Sociopaths Even Have Feelings?). . To be sure, this isn't needy love. It's not even emotional love. It's superficial. A narcissistic sociopath sees love and admiration as power tools to manipulate and dominate (Do Sociopaths Even Have Feelings?). No apologies, no guilt, no remorse under any circumstance. A sociopathic narcissist believes that she is a gift to the world who makes it richer and more colorful. Therefore, her calculated, even cruel actions are always justified.

Act as the producer, director, and only actor of his own show. The narcissistic sociopath casts people in roles that increase his power and sense of importance and when bored, casts them aside. M.E.

Warning: This article contains sexually explicit material. A straight guy licked my face once. It was in high school between classes and I was at my locker, running late as always. One of the guys from our school’s soccer team walked up to me, which I thought was unusual. We weren’t friends exactly, friendly enough to say hello in the hallway but not make time for conversation, and definitely not friends enough for a full stop. I turned from my books, and before I knew it, his saliva was smeared all across my cheek. Intrigued but totally unprepared for this, I quickly yelped, “No, I can’t,” and scuttled the other direction. We barely talked for the rest of high school. To be honest, I’ve never found labels to be all that descriptive of sexuality as I know it. That guy is married to a woman now, as is the first guy I hooked up with, and a lot of the mostly heterosexual men I was a little more than friends with in high school. There’s a scene in Donna Tartt’s masterful The Goldfinch that sums up these experiences well. Theo and his best friend, Boris, take in more than their fair share of drugs and alcohol as kids growing up outside Las Vegas, and to use a phrase, “Shit happens.” Reflecting on it later, Boris tells Theo, “We were young and needed girls. I think maybe you thought it was something else.” For me, it was “something else”—I’m currently in a relationship with a man, but I would identify myself as “queer,” “mostly homosexual,” or “bisexual, I guess.” To be honest, though, I’ve never found labels to be all that descriptive of sexuality as I know it. In a recent study for Mic, Eliel Cruz put men’s capacity for sexual fluidity to the test. “A gay friend of mine told me that he had slept with a ‘straight’ guy using Tinder by changing the stated gender on his profile to female,” Cruz writes. His friend kept all the same photos and info, but the guys of Tinder “still swiped right and started chatting with [him].” Skeptical that something like this would work, Cruz did the same to call B.S on his story. While Cruz claims that “swiping right on a guy made some men freaked out and defensive,” others were surprisingly into it. Cruz reports, “Men complimented me, telling me I was ‘hot’ or ‘handsome.’ I got asked for sexual favors along the lines of ‘I’m not gay but I’d let you blow me.’ Some even went as far and asked to have sex with me as long as I didn’t do other ‘gay shit.’” While some of these men said they were “possibly bisexual,” other men Cruz chatted with were “afraid to use that label.” Cruz continues, “There were men who publicly identified as straight who were up to trying new things and testing the boundaries of their sexuality, sometimes with a witness/participant.” This anecdotal evidence clashes with the longstanding conventional wisdom on male bisexuality—which has sought to debunk it as a lie perpetrated by men who are on the road to Kinsey Sixville. A controversial study reported on by the New York Times in 2005 “lends support to those who have long been skeptical that bisexuality is a distinct and stable sexual orientation.” The Times’ Benedict Carey continued, “People who claim bisexuality, according to these critics, are usually homosexual, but are ambivalent about their homosexuality or simply closeted. ‘You’re either gay, straight or lying,’ as some gay men have put it.” Bruno Mars has yet to send “I Kissed a Boy” to the top of the Billboard charts. Even sex columnist Dan Savage has contributed to this idea. During an interview for the documentary Bi the Way, Savage said, “I meet someone who’s 19-years-old who tells me he’s bisexual and I’m like, ‘Yeah, right, I doubt it. I tell them come back when you’re like 29 and we’ll see.’” Savage has since changed his stance on the issue, but as CNN’s Ian Kerner notes, “society is a lot less accepting of male sexual fluidity” than for their female counterparts. In a 2013 study from the Pew Research Center, LGBT Americans reported far greater acceptance of bisexual women than men, with 33 percent claiming that there’s “a lot of social acceptance” for women who identify outside the binary, but only 9 percent saying the same about men. According to New York magazine’s Ann Friedman, there may be a degree of biology to this divide, but a larger part of the influence is cultural mores about sexuality. Friedman writes, “Probably thanks to ‘lesbian until graduation’ stereotypes and ‘I Kissed a Girl’-style odes to superficial experimentation, we’re more comfortable with women whose sexuality is harder to define.” After all, Bruno Mars has yet to send “I Kissed a Boy” to the top of the Billboard charts. While last year’s news surrounding actress Maria Bello’s decision to come out without labels was greeted with polite applause, the reaction to swimmer Tom Daley was far more hostile. Friedman writes, “These were the people who assumed Daley was gay but unable to fully admit it, or unwilling to relinquish the privileges of being straight. He was called greedy and accused of trying to have it all. (Which is baffling. It’s not as if he’s dating six people at once.)” Daley did later clarify his preference, saying “I am a gay man now,” but in some circles, that admission likely only confirmed more stereotypes about bisexuals being fence-sitters. The reality is that a majority of LGBT folks’ orientations change over the course of their lives. According to blogger Leh Miller, “84 percent of women and 78 percent of men [report] that they had changed their sexual identity label at least once.” And some, like Bello or actor Josh Hutcherson, might be hesitant to label at all. Hutcherson defines himself as “mostly straight,” reflecting a new open-mindedness when it comes to an emerging generation of young men. Hutcherson said, “Maybe I could say right now I’m 100 percent straight. But who knows? In a f**king year, I could meet a guy and be like, ‘Whoa, I’m attracted to this person.’ … I think defining yourself as 100 percent anything is kind of near-sighted and close-minded.” Josh Hutcherson defines himself as “mostly straight,” reflecting a new open-mindedness when it comes to an emerging generation of young men. The petite Hunger Games heartthrob isn’t the only famous male celebrity to shrug at the idea of orientation. During an interview with On Demand Entertainment, One Direction members Harry Styles and Liam Payne were asked about what they’re looking for in a mate. Payne quickly said, “Female, that’s a good trait.” Styles scoffed, “Not that important!” When pressed to label as “bisexual” in a profile for GQ magazine, he appeared on the surface to debunk any rumors about his sexuality. “Bisexual? Me?” he responded. “I don’t think so. I’m pretty sure I’m not.” What’s interesting about Hutcherson and Styles is the growing non-answer answer, primarily because so much of sexuality takes place outside of our definitions. A Reddit thread posted last year polled men on their experiences of sexual fluidity, and the results were oddly reminiscent of Donna Tartt. “[I]f I ever settle down, it’ll most likely be with a woman,” one Reddit user comments. “In the meantime, guys are in far greater supply, the sex is incredible, and the emotional strings are practically nonexistent.” Another replies, “I identify as heteroflexible. I’m attracted to women but willing to do stuff with men, usually in group activities.” As we can see here, bisexuality is only part of the picture when it comes to subverting the gay/straight divide; a growing number of people are choosing more-inclusive labels like queer, pansexual, and omnisexual. To match its users’ spectrum of preferences, OkCupid recently expanded its sexuality options to include a variety of labels, including asexual, homosexual, and the controversial term sapiosexual, which means you’re attracted to intelligence. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. “Fritz Klein, the doctor who founded the American Institute of Bisexuality, released the Klein Grid in 1978, which analyzes seven aspects of sexual orientation in people’s past, present, and ideal lives, for 21 possible combinations,” writes the Advocate’s Trudy Ring. According to Dr. Lisa Diamond, the blurred lines of sexuality are true for both men and women and those who self-identify as gay and straight. Diamond surveyed 179 men and 159 women about the realities of their sex lives, and the results may surprise you. As Leh Miller reports: [L]ess than half of self-identified gay men and lesbians in this study said that they were only attracted to people of the same-sex during the last year—thus, most reported at least some degree of attraction to people of the other sex. Moreover, 42 percent of lesbians said that they had masturbated to a male fantasy recently, while 31 percent of gay men said they had masturbated to a female fantasy recently. Perhaps even more fascinating is the finding that 9 percent of self-identified lesbians and 12 percent of self-identified gay men reported actually having sex with someone of the other sex during the last year. […] Self-identified heterosexuals exhibited it, too. Believe it or not, 50 percent of heterosexual women and 25 percent of heterosexual men reported having at least some recent same-sex attraction. Likewise, 35 percent of heterosexual women and 24 percent of heterosexual men reported masturbating to a same-sex fantasy in the last year. And not just that, but 2 percent of heterosexual women and 9 percent of heterosexual men reported actually having same-sex contact in the last year. While Friedman suggests that pop culture has long paved the way when it comes to promoting conversations about the female half of these statistics, it’s just starting to catch up to male sexual behavior. Two Sundance movies, The Overnight (featuring Parks and Rec’s Adam Scott and Orange Is the New Black’s Taylor Schilling) and The D Train (starring Jack Black and James Marsden), feature mostly straight men unapologetically having gay sex. BuzzFeed’s Louis Peitzman caught these movies at the festival and found them to be quietly revolutionary. “Sex, whatever the context, is what it is,” Peitzman writes. “It’s not so much about why sex happens but that it does: Sometimes the closeness between two male friends takes a turn, a reality that straight men nervously distance themselves from, and that is rarely depicted on-screen.” Sundance has a history of breaking sexual boundaries, with 2009’s Humpday featuring two straight best friends men entering an amateur gay porn contest together, but are men ready to hear the message? That depends on who you ask. According to Esquire, a growing number of men are becoming more open-minded in the bedroom, even if they won’t talk about it. In a 2012 survey, the magazine asked its male readership: “During foreplay, what’s the one thing that you want more of from your current partner?” While blowjobs won the day (like, duh), a surprisingly high 12 percent secretly wanted more anilingus in bed—they just didn’t know how to ask. The more we allow ourselves to be human and messy, the happier we’ll all be. This poll came out a solid two years before Gawker declared 2014 the year of the “booty-eating renaissance,” when rappers like Trick Daddy and Kevin Gates openly declared their love for the bedroom taboo. While men have started to become more open about their willingness to be on the giving end of anilingus—as in a recent Girls episode in which Marnie enjoys a salad tossing—Gawker’s Tyrone Palmer notes that there remains stigma about guys getting rimmed. “The paranoid anxiety that having your booty eaten as a male makes you gay is prevalent in discussions about eating the booty among heterosexuals,” Palmer writes. The knowledge that Drake allegedly likes it when his partner goes down there isn’t confirmation that he’s part of the revolutionary avant-garde; according to Gawker commenters, it makes him a “gay ass n***a.” Therein lies the problem. While sexual behavior may be changing in practice—as straight men find themselves looking at gay porn or getting turned on by M4M Craigslist postings—men at large continue to get hung up on labels, whether they happen to be gay, straight, or somewhere in between. Is enjoying anilingus a bad thing? Does looking at another man make me gay? No and no, not any more than going to a Bar Mitzvah one time makes you Jewish. The more we stop relying so much on rigid notions of masculinity and gender and allow ourselves to be human and messy, the happier we’ll all be—inside and out of of the bedroom. Dudes of the Internet, the next time a cute guy licks your face on your way to class, just smile and say thank you if you’re kinda into it. You might be glad you did.

Photo credit: WJAZ ||| WJAZ ||| Racial tensions have been ignited in Baltimore following the murder of a white female police officer in Baltimore County at the hands of four black teens. Three of the teenagers were breaking into homes and when a Baltimore police officer went to investigate she was run over by a fourth teen in a stolen Jeep. Social media users expressed outrage at the killing and took to the Baltimore County Police & Fire Facebook page to weigh in.

What a waste of life. He's currently breathing air some decent person could be breathing. I personally am tired of good for nothing hood rats committing adult crimes and people STILL saying crap like, he had hard times growing up, society made him do these things because he had no role models." The comment drew ire from another user who wrote: "I hope all you whites have the same level outrage next time one of your youths decide to shoot up a school of innocent children. You all are a disgusting group of devils." County fire spokeswoman Elise Armacost said that no previous case has generated such a massive online reaction. Authorities tried to calm the hostility and pleaded for civility as county staff struggled to moderate comments that featured profanity or were typed in all caps but the avalanche of angry posts continued pouring in. Many comments called for the teen who drove the Jeep to be hanged, shot, run over, and even raped. Armacost said, "Sadly, these comments are a microcosm of the conflicts and lack of civility we see in the country right now." Related coverage: <a href="http://thegoldwater.com/news/27287-President-Trump-Heading-To-Houston-Dallas-Thursday">President Trump Heading To Houston, Dallas Thursday</a> A Johns Hopkins sociologist named Stephanie DeLuca has studied the Baltimore youth and is the daughter of a 40-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department and she described the "absolutely awful" case as a perfect, polarizing storm. "It touches on all these intersections – of race, policing, city-county," DeLuca said. She is the co-author of the 2016 book "Coming of Age in the Other America." DeLuca added that "Once fear is sparked, anger is sparked." Baltimore police say the teenagers were robbing homes in Perry Hall Monday afternoon when Baltimore County Police Officer Amy S. Caprio approached the stolen Jeep. She was then run over by 16-year-old Dawnta Harris of the Gilmor Homes public housing project. Officer Caprio died shortly after the attack resulting in Harris and the three other teens to be charged as adults with first-degree murder. Police say Harris fled home detention this month while awaiting sentencing for a car theft. If he was not released to home detention perhaps Harris would still be alive.

A former Democratic state senator named Clarence M. Mitchell IV said, "You're talking about a black young man from Gilmor Homes in a very, very white area, and a white female police officer – the racial dynamics can't be eliminated. I'm sorry, at some point we have to stop being so sensitive. We are too worried about how we look as opposed to correcting this reality. The reality is we have a problem. We are a violent city. We have a dysfunctional juvenile justice system. Those are the facts." <i>On Twitter:</i> <a href="https://twitter.com/MAGASyndicate">@MAGASyndicate</a> Tips? Info? Send me a message!

Sunny likes cummy What a nice girl I had staying at my place this time. Sunny that was her name told me that she loves cum. She loves everything about cum an I figured she would be perfect for this website. From what she told me she was a professional figure skater. Thats probably why she got such a nice ass. Her boobs are amazing too. She played with my dick like baby would play with new toy so excited and shit. I had a great time with this girl. Hope you'll enjoy it. Peace.

Why are there so many Assholes ? I’m on vacation this week, which is to say that I’m catching up on work. While doing a collection of web maintenance tasks and getting a couple of new web sites ready, I’m struck with the question “Why are there so many Assholes ?” Why do the same assholes SPAM my blog every day? I moderate spam so it never appears, but each day they come back to offer my reader viagra, hair tonic, fake Rolex’s, etc. Why to the same assholes SPAM my quest book at ManagedCode.com over and over again. I always delete spam guestbook signatures so they don’t result in any traffic, but they keep on posting. Why would some asshole deface my site at ManagedCode.com? I’ve been using IPortal (the Classic ASP Version) and a bug was recently found. Someone defaced my site. I fixed it. They defaced it again. They use an alias so they don’t get credit, it’s not a hack (they just copy what someone else found) so there is no intellectual credit, there doesn’t seem to be any political benefit – so what’s the POINT? One of my New Years resolutions is to do some work to block and catch on-line MalTechs !!! I’m switching ManagedCode.com to the SOOP Portal and will publish my MODS. and speaking of Assholes, if your interested in the SOOP project, make sure you go to www.soopportal.ORG and NOT www.soopportal.COM – because some asshole has gleaned the SOOP name to use for a porn site. I’m with you Joe. I don’t understand spam. No one likes it. I can’t imagine ever purchasing something from a company or person who spams me. One would think that if a person is smart enough to own and run a business, they would be smart enough to realize this. Because of the "law of 9". Studies show that if you tall someone to use your product 9 times within a reasonable amount of time, they will use it (and think it was their idea). And unfortunately, it works. If you knew how much money there is in this you would be tempted to do it yourself. I say tempted, not that you would. I don’t but I’ll admit to being tempted. Easy money is hard to turn down. The only thing scarier that those NIGERIAN EMAILS is the number of people who get suckered by them. I think once the spammers have the page address, their app persistently calls that via XML-RPC or some custom Web interface, which robots reuse. Perhaps those "type a code you see" solutions that exist on financial sites would work for blog comments as well. Assholes defaced SCO too. No matter what you feel about them and Linux, its an immature thing to do. Maybe they did it because its a "M$FT is evil" zealot type person. You run that site, and you work for Microsoft, so you must be evil too.

Q: Trouble adding to hash in perl I am reading a file replacing data and returning output to json. When I try to add a new item to the hash I get the following error. Not a HASH reference When I use ref() I am getting HASH as the type. I have tried. my $json_data = decode_json($template); $json_data->{CommandCenters}{NewItem} = ["haha","moredata"]; Gives the not a hash reference error The $json_data is below. { "Location":"Arkansas", "CommandCenters": [ { "secretary": "jill", "janitor": "mike" } ], } I am looking for the following output after I add the element. { "Location":"Arkansas", "city": "little rock" "CommandCenters": [ { "secretary": "jill", "janitor": "mike" }, { "NewItem":["whatever","more data"] } ], } If I use $json_data->{CommandCenters}[0]{NewItem} = ['whatever','sure']; I do not get an error but I get unexpected results. The data is added but in the incorrect slot. "commandcenters": [ "secretary":"jill", "janitor": "mike", "newitem": [ "whatever","sure" ], ] A: To add a new element to an array, use push. As we 're dealing with an array reference, we need to dereference it first. push @{ $json_data->{CommandCenters} }, { NewItem => ["haha", "moredata"] }; A: When I try to add a new item to the hash I get the following error. Not a HASH reference When I use ref() I am getting HASH as the type. Attention to detail is a vital skill for a successful programmer. And you're missing something subtle here. When you use ref(), I assume you're passing it your $json_data variable. And that is, indeed, a hash reference. But the line that generates your Not a HASH reference is this line: $json_data->{CommandCenters}{NewItem} = ["haha","moredata"]; And that's not just treating $json_data as a hash reference ($json_data->{...}) it's also treating $json_data->{CommandCenters} as a hash reference. And that's where your problem is. $json_data->{CommandCenters} is an array reference, not a hash reference. It's generated from the bit of your JSON that looks like this: "CommandCenters": [ { "secretary": "jill", "janitor": "mike" } ] And those [ .. ] mark it as an array not a hash. You can't add a new key/value pair to an array; you need to push() new data to the end of the array. Something like: push @{ $json_data->{CommandCenters} }, { NewItem => ["haha", "moredata"] }; That will leave you with this data structure: $VAR1 = { 'CommandCenters' => [ { 'janitor' => 'mike', 'secretary' => 'jill' }, { 'NewItem' => [ 'haha', 'moredata' ] } ], 'Location' => 'Arkansas' }; And encode_json() will turn that into the JSON that you want.

Sweet Salvation Ch. 2 'Nothing like a good orgasm followed by a nice bout of hysteria,' Beth thought wryly as she stepped out of the emptying bathtub. Toweling herself off, she replayed the look on that deliveryman's face and had to grin. She moved over to the mirror above the sink and looked herself in the eye. "You are one sexy girl, Beth, but damn, you can be a mess." The reflection winked back at her. Suddenly it hit her: the package! She'd totally forgotten about it in her urge to clean herself up. Wrapping the towel around her body and tucking the end in, she dashed across the living room to the couch where she'd tossed the box. She couldn't even remember what it was, and the return address didn't look familiar. Inside, amidst a snowfall of tissue paper, was a crimson silk corset with black lace and embroidery. Stunned, she didn't even recognize what it was for a moment, and then more memories lashed her. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * It was their two-year anniversary. Beth had delighted in making lavish plans to please him in every way. She had saved up her waitressing money until she could afford to take him to an exquisite restaurant, and afterwards she had let him make love to her all night. Their lovemaking always left her feeling slightly bittersweet. She was happy that she could bring him so much pleasure, yet afterwards he seemed more detached, rather than closer to her. She never let herself think about that. At the restaurant, there had been a girl. Beth privately felt that she shouldn't have been allowed into the classy place dressed the way she was; her dress, although certainly expensive-looking, was skimpy and almost gauzy in its transparency. She sat at a table near Beth's, at an angle that permitted both of them to view her body in profile. As Beth ate, her eyes were constantly drawn to the girl, to her long exposed legs and her almost-visible body. She never thought to check if he were looking at the girl too. The girl glanced over to Beth's table once, and a few seconds later casually crossed her legs. As she did, Beth was jolted by some primal, raw emotion. The leg-crossing had forced the frilly skirt of the dress over her thigh, revealing both her thigh-high lacy stockings and the garters attached. Beth had never owned lingerie, never even thought of it, and the sight of such private clothing articles in public had her pulse racing instantly. Her eyes locked onto the thigh, the sheer covering. Her breath sped up. It was too personal. She felt like an intruder, like she had been too intimate with the girl. She wanted to leave, wanted to get up and slap the girl, kiss her, rip the filmy clothes off her slender body and worship her. She never tasted a bite of the meal she'd saved all her money for. As he took Beth back to their apartment and they undressed in silence, she imagined that she was the girl at the restaurant, that somehow he had taken her home instead, that he was now stroking the other girl's body, that he was penetrating the other girl and making her cry out. Afterwards, there was more silence. She bought the corset the next day. * * * * * * * * * * * * * Pain hit her, sudden and harsh, like a ripped-off scab. The corset and his face were entwined in her mind. That day merged with the days they should be having, with the days she planned to have with him and this corset. She couldn't be confronted with such a blunt reminder of him, not this soon. It hurt too much to remember. Clutching the towel to her, she stumbled to her computer, intent on emailing the company a return notice for the corset. She'd make a defect herself, if that were the only way to send it back. Signing into her mailbox, she noticed that she had a message from a close friend, one who had made the most chilling proclamations of castration after Beth's breakup. The email was giddy and tasteless and charming; it advertised a new erotic story her friend had written and wanted lots of feedback on. Beth felt herself slowly relax from her near-panic attack. Hesitating between the link and the "delete" button, she finally clicked on the link. 'What the hell.' The "story" was nothing but shameless sex; chuckling at her friend, Beth let go of her stress and prepared for a good read. As usual, the scene came to life in her mind; she was the heroine, which in this case meant the group slut. The men were William, a leanly muscled platinum blond; Alex, a cute, brown-haired, muscular man; and Dan, a redhead who looked more like a grunge band player than a porn star. The "plot" came and went in seconds, and suddenly the four were naked in a cheap motel room, Beth on her hands and knees at the foot of the bed. William, standing to the left side of the bed, slid his hand across Beth's face and tilted her chin up for a demanding kiss. On the bed behind her, Dan squeezed her ass roughly between his hands, molding and stretching the pliable flesh. She whimpered into William's mouth, feeling him laugh mockingly in response. A warm, wet sensation dimly registered in her mind and she broke the kiss long enough to look down into Alex's impish eyes as he laved her nipples with his tongue. Somehow he'd slid underneath her and was lying with his feet at the headboard and his head buried between her breasts. "You like that, girl?" "Yes, please, don't stop sucking!" she gasped, arching her back as he took her nipple into his mouth again, biting it with renewed vigor. Impatiently, William ran his fingers through Beth's hair and pulled her head back to his, forcing even harder kisses upon her willing mouth. She trembled under the assault but her tongue had little trouble dueling back against his. He growled deep in the back of his throat, sending delicious chills down her spine. William stiffened his tongue and thrust it deep within her mouth. Beth blushed when she realized that he was "fucking" her mouth with his tongue, and blushed even more when she realized how hot she was getting at the thought. She swirled her tongue around his, sweetly caressing, promising him further pleasure. William pulled his tongue back almost too quickly in his sudden urgent need to be fucking that teasing mouth with his cock rather than his tongue. He fumbled with his turgid shaft for a second before sliding it into the steamy recesses of her mouth with a groan of pleasure. That groan was seconded by Beth's own; Alex was suckling eagerly on one nipple while twisting and flicking the other, and at the same time Dan was alternating between rubbing and spanking her ass. Every spank elicited a squeal from her, which William felt to the core. Beth moved her head back and forth, tracing circles along the length of William's throbbing cock with her tongue, sucking hard and passionately. It was getting increasingly difficult for her to concentrate on the fellatio with all the attention the other two men were giving her. Alex continued to nibble and bite her sensitive nipples, moving his hands along her hips and thighs. Occasionally he would move his mouth to her neck and latch his teeth onto the delicate skin, marking her as his. Beth shivered and rotated her hips above his, feeling an increasing need grow between her thighs. Despite her obvious desire, Alex continued to play with every other part of her body but the one that wanted it the most. Dan was now rubbing something cold and wet along the crack of her ass; she jumped nervously as the tip of his finger gently nudged the hole. He teased her with barely perceptible prods until she relaxed and let him penetrate her anus. Still, he chose to make her anticipate his moves, to back away and watch her writhe in suspense and longing. Soon she was pushing her ass back towards him, craving more of that taboo sensation. He laughed low and taunting. "You want it, don't you?" She pulled her head away from William's groin, but her frantic nod wasn't sufficient. "Tell me, slut. Tell me what you want me to do. Then maybe I'll do it, and I know you want it." The finger traced the sensitive ring around the outside, almost a tickle, not quite a caress. "You need it, you little slut." She closed her eyes in humiliation and sudden fresh desire that sent a flood of moisture down her thighs. Ever so slowly, he thrust his lubricated finger into her depths, relishing her moan of painful pleasure. Grinning at her glazed statement, he withdrew his finger, rotated it, and suddenly slammed it back in. She gasped in shock at the invasion, but the heat that spread throughout her lower body was indescribable. Groaning, she closed her eyes and just felt as Dan pistoned his finger in and out in a frenzy, sending her spiraling into a realm of pleasure she'd never experienced. He now added the tip of another finger, relentlessly pushing both deep within her ass. The pain, if anything, brought her to a higher level of ecstasy. "Tell me what you feel, slut!" Dan commanded, punctuating his words with a hard slap to her ass. "I-I feel your fingers in my a-ass," Beth whimpered, writhing as he abused her ass deliciously. Another spank made her shriek and clench around the intruding fingers. Beth wasn't allowed to just sit there and absorb the sensation, however. William was tired of being neglected. He grabbed her head, shoving his cock into her mouth and down her throat. He groaned at the hot wet ecstasy of her mouth and forced himself to hold back, to make it last. Instead he relished Beth's frantic gestures and incoherent noises as she fought for some semblance of control. Leaning his head down to her ear, he taunted her, "Now, love, you just lie there and be a good little fucktoy. Let us use your hot little body until we come, because believe me, love, we will." Her lusty moan sent vibrations all the way through his cock. Alex laughed scornfully. "She's dripping wet already, and I haven't even touched her cunt yet." Beth knew to her shame it was true. Her body was so stimulated that the lack of contact on her pussy didn't even matter. Except that it was begging for touch and for release. She turned pleading eyes on Alex, hoping he would end this sweet torture and let her come. "What, pretty girl wanna come? You want me to rub your little cunt until you come for me, is that it?" His fingers strayed to the sweet spot on her inner thigh, collecting accumulated moisture, but he never quite touched her where she needed it most. Beth tried desperately to grind her pussy on Alex's erection, but another slap from Dan reminded her—as if she could forget!—that her pleasure was dependent upon all three men, not just Alex. She had to please all of them if she was to get her pleasure in return. So she did. She began sucking at William's cock in earnest now, rolling her tongue against the underside. Every inch of her was devoted to pleasing these three men, from the moaning and tongue-stroking she gave to William's cock, to the writhing and eager acceptance she gave to whatever Alex and Dan chose to do to her. As she gave herself over to the group's lust, a silent signal passed from William to Dan. The pain in Beth's ass had faded into an aching pleasure by this time, but now Dan added yet another finger, stretching her ass even further and making her cry out. She focused on the pleasure she was giving William and the pleasure Alex was giving her, and soon this pain receded too. A dim part of Beth's mind noticed that Alex was only using one hand to pinch and stroke her body. She looked down to see him gathering up her juices and rubbing them over his throbbing shaft, getting it slick. He looked into her eyes, smiled, and before she made the connection he slammed his cock into her dripping cunt. She screamed around her mouthful of cock and almost collapsed. Alex held her hips up easily, feeding her his cock in small thrusts now. The pleasure was unbelievable after the level of buildup she'd been subjected to, and all Beth could think about was more fucking. Therefore, it wasn't too surprising that Dan had half of his cock up her ass before she even noticed. When she did notice, she squealed in pain and bucked back, trying to throw him. Unfortunately, this impaled her completely on Dan's cock, and she froze, body going into shock from the totally unexpected agony. William's cock lay forgotten next to her mouth as she sobbed. Slowly she realized that nobody was moving; everyone was waiting for her to make the nest move. That thought was so comforting that, little by little, her body relaxed, and she gave Alex a shaky smile. Encouraged, he resumed his gentle thrusting into her pussy, and then she realized something: she was incredibly full. Oh God was she full. Every movement of Alex's cock inside her cunt, pressed through a flimsy membrane to Dan's cock inside her ass, sent twice the shockwaves through her body. She felt so tight. It was almost unbearably intense, almost too much. Beth groaned, wanting more. Dan leaned over her back, hands running over her quivering ass, and whispered, "You love that feeling, don't you? You love being used like our little slut?" Rocking his hips slowly back and forth, taunting her with the promise of fulfillment, he laughed. "Look at you. Fucked by three men, and loving it. You really are a slut, aren't you? You're going to come already, aren't you, slut?" She was. Without William's cock in her mouth, her pants and groans of ecstasy were coming louder and totally uninhibited. "Oh, fuck, God yes. God, please, fuck my ass, fuck my cunt, just fuck me, harder, harder, oh please!" She continued to babble incoherently in her lust until William growled in annoyance and shoved his cock back into her mouth and down her throat. Watching the two men as they built up speed until they were pounding deep into Beth was too much, and soon William was slamming his cock in as fast as he could, totally unconcerned for her ability to breathe. He gripped her head in his hands, cursing and grunting and trying futilely to hold back. Alex upped the pace even more, thrusting madly into the clenching, buttery depths of her cunt. As he withdrew, Dan rammed his cock into Beth's tender ass, spanking her hard and feeling the shockwaves himself. Beth tried to fuck back, to feel their cocks fucking her even harder, even faster. Her orgasm was building beyond the possible. She gasped for air, sucked the cock in her mouth, and shoved herself back on the penetrating shafts behind and beneath her, building, building… With a roar of pleasure, William pulled out of Beth's mouth, moving his hand at lightning speed on his throbbing phallus, coming so hard he thought he'd broken something. Splashes of his semen landed in Beth's gasping mouth, but the majority hit her face, dripping from her lips and eyelashes. At the sight, Alex madly slammed into her, as hard as he could, for a few more thrusts, and began to come as well. Dan, too, drove deeply into her ass, groaned, and pulled out. More jets of semen began to cover her body from all three men. At the sensation of these bursts of seed hitting her flesh, Beth wailed and went over the edge, shaking and convulsing in wave after wave of mindblowing orgasm. The collective climax continued until all were totally drained and collapsed. * * * * * * * * * * * * * Beth gave a long sigh and unclenched her hands; they'd been in fists at her side to prevent them from straying. Unlike in the bath an hour or so ago—was it really so soon?—she hadn't played with herself, and her pussy was pulsing with lust. Her eyes kept playing over the last part, where the three men came all over the girl's body. The vision was at once repulsive and strangely compelling. To be bathed in semen, to be washed in it, to have all other men's imprints erased by this orgasmic baptism…Beth quickly gave her friend's story a "5," mentally promising feedback later, and got up from the computer. It was time for her to finally deal with the breakup. She would cleanse her body of his memory.

Q: Parse an attribute from disheveled string My question is completely simple, I have a string like the following one which is quite irregular: package: name='com.adobe.reader' versionCode='77969' versionName='10.6.1' application-label:'Adobe Reader' application-label-da:'Adobe Reader' application-label-ja:'Adobe Reader' application-label-de:'Adobe Reader' application-label-nl:'Adobe Reader' application-label-pl:'Adobe Reader' application-label-en:'Adobe Reader' application-label-ko:'Adobe Reader' application-label-fr:'Adobe Reader' application-label-tr:'Adobe Reader' application-label-cs:'Adobe Reader' application-label-es:'Adobe Reader' application-label-it:'Adobe Reader' application-label-pt:'Adobe Reader' application-label-ru:'Adobe Reader' application-label-sv:'Adobe Reader' application-label-zh_CN:'Adobe Reader' application-label-zh_TW:'Adobe Reader' application-icon-160:'res/drawable-mdpi/reader_app_android.png' application-icon-240:'res/drawable-hdpi/reader_app_android.png' application-icon-320:'res/drawable-xhdpi/reader_app_android.png' application: label='Adobe Reader' icon='res/drawable-mdpi/reader_app_android.png' launchable-activity: name='com.adobe.reader.AdobeReader' label='' icon='' sdkVersion:'8' uses-permission:'com.adobe.reader.provider.permission.READ' uses-permission:'android.permission.INTERNET' uses-permission:'android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE' uses-permission:'android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE' uses-permission:'android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE' uses-implied-permission:'android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE','requested WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE' uses-feature:'android.hardware.touchscreen' uses-implied-feature:'android.hardware.touchscreen','assumed you require a touch screen unless explicitly made optional' main other-activities other-services supports-screens: 'small' 'normal' 'large' 'xlarge' supports-any-density: 'true' locales: '--_--' 'da' 'ja' 'de' 'nl' 'pl' 'en' 'ko' 'fr' 'tr' 'cs' 'es' 'it' 'pt' 'ru' 'sv' 'zh_CN' 'zh_TW' densities: '160' '240' '320' native-code: 'armeabi' 'armeabi-v7a' Is it possible to parse some value from this string (e.g the value of versionCode) in PHP?

Free Music For Windows 8.1 – Create A Music Playlist I came across a really fun feature of Windows 8.1 last weekend. If you like music, you’ll really enjoy it. I’ve written before about Microsoft’s Xbox Music Streaming App. I’m not sure why they went with the name Xbox Music, you certainly don’t need an Xbox to use it. You’ll find this app listed as Music on your Windows 8.1 Device. You can use is to manage and play the songs already on your PC or as a streaming service to listen to music. There’s both a free and a paid version of the service, but in this article we’ll be talking about the free version that lets you stream millions of tunes for free as long as you are willing to listen to the occasional ad. This feature allows you to select a website – it could be an article about music or the page for a TV show that features music and create a playlist of songs based on that page. Here’s how it works: You have to start off using the Metro/Modern Internet Explorer App for this to work. So open Internet Explorer From the Start Screen by tapping or clicking the tile. You want to make sure you have the app version with the address bar at the bottom open. It should look like this. Now find a web page that features music. For this example, here I’ve chosen a Billboard.com article about the top 100 hits from American Idol. Next, you either swipe from the right side of the page or click on the far right of the page to bring up the charms bar. Select Share. You’ll see options so share the page via e-mail, social networks or add it to your Reading List. Choose Music. The app will then start searching for music. It warns you that it may take awhile and that’s true. It could be five or ten minutes. Now the playlist it generated wasn’t just the 100 top American Idol tunes. It was a list of songs sung by contestants on American Idol, songs by singers who have appeared on Idol, original versions of songs that were later covered on American Idol and songs by some of the hosts. It pulled up a hundred songs in various genres. If you like the generated playlist, just tap or click Create Playlist. Xbox Music will open and your new playlist will be there. Simply tap or click to select. Then you can just play the music. There’s nearly seven hours of music in this one. This doesn’t only work for current popular music. I went looking for an article about great big band music and managed to pull up this play list of 100 big band and jazz tunes: Another fun thing to try is to go to the website for a favorite television show. I went to the site for the TV show “Arrow” and came up with this list of 100 tunes that have either appeared on the program or were sung by artists whose music have been featured on the show. It is a great way to explore new music or listen to old favorites for free. Give it a try. This entry was posted on Wednesday, May 7th, 2014 at 2:35 PM and is filed under Windows 8.

Anne of Bavaria Anne of Bavaria (or of the Palatinate; ; 26 September 1329 – 2 February 1353) was a queen consort of Bohemia. She was the daughter of Rudolf II, Duke of Bavaria, and Count Palatine of the Rhine, and Anna, daughter of Otto III of Carinthia. She was a member of the House of Wittelsbach. Anna married Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV on 11 March 1349 in the town of Bacharach on the Rhine. She became the second wife of Charles after the death of his first wife, Blanche of Valois, in 1348. On 26 July 1349 in Aachen, Anna was crowned Queen of Rome. Months later she was crowned Queen of Bohemia; In 1350, Anna gave birth to a son, Wenceslaus, who died one year later, in 1351. Anna did not have more children and died herself in 1353 at the age of 23. Charles was widowed for a second time and still had no son. He then married Anna von Schweidnitz, who gave birth to the desired heir, Wenceslaus, King of the Romans.

Over these last weeks, questions about the appointment of the Bishop of Burnley as the new Bishop of Sheffield have been asked in the media and debated on social media. The website SAME (Sheffield Action on Ministry Equality https://shefminequal.wordpress.com) offers a good round up of the discussion. It is deeply sad that such a debate is happening in this way and our prayers are for all those affected. There are many statements made about how this appointment is ‘balance’ for the church, or ‘what we signed up for in 2014’ and even ‘the only way we could have women bishops’. The head of communications for the Church of England even stated in an article in the Yorkshire Post ‘we have ten women bishops … 10 to one is a good score for those whose desire is to keep score against their opponents’. (March 4 2017) Part of the reason that this debate is going on in public is because this situation was not covered in the House of Bishops’ Declaration which accompanied the 2014 legislation. That document sets out very carefully how those who cannot receive the ministry of women are to be enabled to flourish, if they find themselves in a diocese with a bishop who is a woman. There are even structures for people to flourish in a diocese with a male bishop who, because he ordains women, they cannot be in full communion with. Importantly for this debate, in either of these cases, the bishop, even if she is a woman, does not query the full validity of the ordination and sacraments of any of her clergy. The declaration does not address the question of how women clergy flourish in a diocese where the bishop cannot fully accept their orders and their sacraments. It does not address the issue of a diocesan bishop being a member of The Society of St Wilfred and St Hilda. It does not address the situation when there is a change in a diocese which previously had a diocesan bishop who did ordain women to one who cannot. The implication of this omission is either, that the Bishops did not feel this mattered, or they did not envisage this happening. Clearly, what we are now seeing is that it does matter. Church House statistics which we have analysed at WATCH (http://womenandthechurch.org/news/watch-developments-womens-ministry-2016/) show that the dioceses which have a bishop who is not able to accept the priestly ministry of women are, not surprisingly, those with the least women in incumbent positions. Women’s ministry flourishes where it is affirmed. The House of Bishops’ Declaration does have a clause that allows a diocese to state that they would like a bishop who does or does not ordain women. One of the questions we and others have asked of the Prime Minister, and the Independent Reviewer, is whether this was clearly explained to the diocese of Sheffield when the statement of needs was drawn up. Many in Sheffield did not know that addressing this question should have been part of the process. So far we have had no replies. And so we come on to the question of balance. The suggestion that ‘we have ten women bishops so its evening things up a bit to have a traditionalist’ is not just crass, but also inaccurate. The debate is about the role of a diocesan bishop. The numbers therefore look very different. There are 2 women diocesan bishops. There are currently 2 diocesan bishops who do not ordain women, +Philip would make that 3. There are also 3 special bishops ordained because of their traditional views on male only ordination. As I wrote in an earlier piece, much has been done to ensure that those who cannot receive the ministry of women can continue to flourish in the Church of England; this debate is how women flourish. As women have found, time and again, it can be hard to be the subject of a debate in which you are seen as the problem. So we do have deep sympathy for +Philip at this time and we pray for him. We do not think he should have been put into a situation where the ramifications of his appointment do not seem to be thought through or talked through with those it impacts on. Some on social media seem to think that the CNC would have discussed this at length and would have identified the issues and ways to address them. Sadly, that does not seem to be how our appointments system works. The five guiding principles affirm that the church has made up its mind on the issue of women and holy orders. The legislation passed in 2014 removed the need for candidates to the office of deacon, priest or bishop, to be male. Our synodic system ensures that changes are not made until we have two thirds of all 3 houses agreeing. Alongside the legislation, the guiding principles affirmed the place of the minority who could not embrace this change and provisions have been made to allow them to flourish in the church. What it does not say is that this means they will be serving as diocesan bishops. The problem with the language of ‘balance’, as it is used by some, is that it positions women as some kind of theological position to be held in balance with those whose theological position means they cannot accept women’s ministry fully. Women are not a theological position. They are part of the goodness of God’s creation; human beings made in the image of God. They hold a rich variety of theological positions. They are Anglo-Catholic, evangelical, liberal and conservative. Some have little interest in theology and others read and write it. In this way they are rather like men. What they have in common is the experience of human life embodied as women and in this they share with a large percentage of the human race. A balance in the House of Bishops will come when there are a similar number of women as men, holding a variety of views, representing something of the variety of the women in and beyond the church. This week we mark International Women’s Day and we remember that in so many parts of our world women are marginalised and oppressed. The church needs to be part of the good news for women; accepting them in their rich variety and welcoming the fact that women, like men, respond to the calling of God and bear witness to God’s loving purposes in the church and in the world.

Euthanasia As A Deliberate Act 1728 WordsNov 6, 20157 Pages “Euthanasia is defined as a deliberate act undertaken by one person with the intention of ending life of another person to relieve that person 's suffering and where the act is the cause of death.”(Gupta, Bhatnagar and Mishra) Many people believe this as a mercy killing. Euthanasia may be voluntary, non voluntary and involuntary. When a terminally ill patient wants to end his or her life, it is called voluntary euthanasia. Non voluntary euthanasia occurs when the suffering person never wanted nor requested to end their life. Non voluntary euthanasia happens when a patient is in a persistent vegetative state, comatose state, or has mental conditions. Involuntary euthanasia is conducted when treatments of such are against the will of the patient. Euthanasia can be either passive or active. Passive euthanasia means life sustaining treatments are not given and nothing is done to keep the patient alive. “Active euthanasia occurs when a physician does something by giving drugs or substances that ends a patient’s life”. (Medical News Today) All humans have different ideas, values, opinions, and beliefs depending on what culture, religion and the society we come from. These differences also change our beliefs whether we allow ourselves to go to the doctor and get a simple influenza shot, and also adults will not let doctors perform unnatural acts or artificial medical injections nor surgeries. People who are against euthanasia view it as murder and that we must respect the value of This is why Euthanasia is important and summarizing the research that I found on Euthanasia. Euthanasia is important because there is a lot of arguments about Euthanasia. Some people support it and some people do not support Euthanasia (Euthanasia and assisted suicide- Arguments). Euthanasia allows people to be free from physical pain. It is the hastening of death of a patient to prevent further sufferings (Euthanasia Revisited). The religious argument states God chooses when human life ends. Euthanasia Euthanasia is the act of killing someone painlessly, especially someone suffering from an incurable illness or an irreversible coma. The term is synonymous with physician-assisted suicide, a form of active euthanasia in which a doctor provides an individual, either terminally ill or facing a diminished quality of life, with the information and means to take his or her own life. It involves a situation in which a patient voluntarily performs the act of committing suicide by taking a lethal dose of 2014, the law was changed in Belgium to abolish all age restrictions on euthanasia. This amendment allows euthanasia for terminally ill children who are exposed to “constant and unbearable suffering” (1). The act was passed in the Belgian Parliament with 86 votes in favour, and 44 against (with 12 abstentions). This amends Belgium’s previous law, “The Belgian Act on Euthanasia”, which was passed in 2002 (2), whereby euthanasia was only available to individuals over the age of eighteen or emancipated Euthanasia is the act of killing someone that is very sick or injured in to prevent a painful suffering in life. One type of euthanasia is physician-assisted suicide, which is the use of a particular medicine given to a patient by a doctor to cause a peaceful death. This a very controversial topic when it comes to the subject of terminal or severe illnesses such as cancer and dementia. Brittany Maynard is a well-known example of person who took her own live under Oregon’s aid-in-dying law due to physician assisted suicide and euthanasia are compassionate responses to a terminally ill patient’s unbearable suffering. By definition, assisted suicide is when someone provides an individual with the information, guidance, and means to take his or her own life with the intention that they will be used for this purpose. When it is a doctor who helps another person to kill themselves it is called "physician assisted suicide." Euthanasia is the intentional killing by act or omission of a dependent human Euthanasia is the act or practice of killing someone who is terminally ill in order to prevent or cease suffering. Euthanasia derives from the Greek word meaning “good death”. “Eu” meaning well/good and “thanatos” meaning death. The words were combined and resulted in the 17th century term of euthanasia. Allowing a patient to die painlessly and with the least amount of damage emotionally and physically left behind connects the origin of the word to my argument of legalizing euthanasia, so patients The Act of Euthanasia and Physician Assisted Suicide The argument can be made that euthanasia is a form of murder; which killing any human by murder is not ethical, but this can be combated. What about an individual’s autonomy? What about an individual who is terminally ill and who wishes to die the way that they want to die; a peaceful death surrounded by their loved ones in their home without pain and suffering. It is only ethical to respect their autonomy and morally permissible to then allow a pro euthanasia group located in Belgium. Euthanasia is the act or practice of killing someone who is very sick or injured in order to prevent any more suffering. The poster reveals its intention to get the society to support euthanasia despite the banning of euthanasia by the government. Mr. Nicolas Sarkozy who are the former President of France are depicted in the photo to show the desperation of the pro-euthanasia association to convey their messages for the public to support euthanasia and therefore Euthanasia is a deliberate act that causes death undertaken by one person with the primary intention of ending the life of another person, in order to relieve that persons suffering. Assisted Suicide is serious issue in today’s society. It continues to impact the lives of the terminally ill adults and their families, as well as believers the right to die rights. The history of euthanasia and assisted suicide starts from Ancient Greek, physicians used to perform frequent abortions, voluntary and life is beyond toleration or they feel as though there is no point to living, the issue of euthanasia often arises. Euthanasia is technically defined as “the act or practice of killing someone who is very sick or injured in order to prevent any more suffering”. In america people have the right to end their life. The topic of euthanasia is one that is highly disputed among people over the world.” Euthanasia means killing someone who is very sick to prevent more suffering” (Weaver 1). An example of
