After dinner, we nestled up together in my grandfather's armchair, our stomachs slightly swollen from the binge of turkey, mashed potatoes, and casserole. I could still smell marshmallow in your hair after your petulant brother had flung a mushy yam onto your head with his fork, but in the kitchen, I knew pie would be waiting, but only after we had gotten over the initial food coma.
The armchair was beautiful and significant. It held the memories of a long gone grandfather. Happier times watching movies. Loves lost and won. Countless holidays. The chair meant more than the world.
door handles, hinges solid black.
As i sat in the living room, pondering the dilemma that had my wheels turning all evening, i heard drops hitting the ceiling. It was raining. Now this wouldn't be a problem any other day except that there was a hole in the kitchen ceiling. So as i stood up from what seemed like rags of an armchair i saw it. I saw the answers to all my problems. Sitting on the dining table was an ad. This ad had a blonde woman pointing to what looked like a small building. She wore a blue dress and she was very slim vor her height.
She leaned forward in the armchair, willing him to look up at her. "When do you think we'll be done here? I have somewhere I need to go," she said.
The leather armchair swiveled at the sound of my voice revealing not the stoic, graying, fifty-six year old man I'd been expecting but, rather, a young woman. With lightly tanned skin, hair gold from genetics rather than a bottle, and a smile that nearly took my breath away, I found myself at a loss for words.
Fine. Everything is fine today. It's relaxing, it's a Sunday, and my favourite TV show is on. Nothing could be much better than being here, for the whole day.
The chair was deep and he slipped back into its depths marvelling at how comfortable it felt. Around him the Christmas music jangled in his ears. He wished the season was over. This false joviality was wearing a bit thin.
Archie and Rose threw a bedspread over the Mantle's armchair then propped it open on one side with the wonky dining chair. A tent, Archie announced. This is where we can make our plans.
What a lovely man. One of my favourite pictures is of him sitting in his lovely old armchair smoking his pipe. How I miss him…..
My grandmother needed help to get out of the arm chair. My mother would put them out in the garden. One day, as a child, I turned the tap on them. The old lady in the chair.
She was resting there, her arms languidly open in a pose reminiscing me of countless fantasies.
She had been doing so for countless years, her skin withered and dry, her eyes two black holes.
the armchair is smooth, but because it is attached to my wheelchair, i hate it. It is a constant reminder of my crippled status, even though it is only my lower half that is twisted and damaged, it is as if my top has to be reminded of this fact.
The armchair was red, with plush material covering the comfiest of cushions. It was solely inhabited by a marmalade cat, a regal mog.
Armchair for my kingdom! For whether it be a quarterback or lay-z-boy, I will sell my entire kingdom for a moment in an armchair. I will tell everyone what they need to do and what they need to think and be a generally terrible person in the entire process.
The old black cat sat in the armchair as if it were his. All day he perched there looking and dozing enjoying the sun on his warm dark fur.
He sat in the armchair, not doing anything, not saying anything, he just sat. And for the briefest moments he forgotten everything, where he was who he was. He had forgotten that he was living. He forgot that he was breathing. He forgot that he was a live, functioning creature and he was thankful for it.
The old armchair provided more than physical comfort. It transported her back to a simpler happier time, time that she had spent enveloped by her grandmother's love.

In 1967 Hugh Green, the last resident, left the Club although he had provided his own catering. A bedroom remained available for overnight use by members, this facility was not much used and ceased when the flat was enlarged for a resident secretary, Sqdn. Ldr. Geoffrey Utting.
References to the motor car have been frequent over the years. As far back as 1920 was it requested that chocks should be provided for "motors" when parked, ever since more and more space has been allocated to parking. In 1971 the last piece of garden was to be added to the car park.
In the middle of the garden was a pretty sapling magnolia. It was agreed that we should prune and preserve the tree. A simple aesthetic act which caught the attention of the Planners. The ensuing correspondence between Geoffrey Barnard, at his letter writing best, and the Beaurocrats caused much amusement. As Chairman of House 1 was amused to see gathered around this sapling, two representatives form the Parks Department, two Council officials plus the Chairman, who by this time surely wished the damn thing had been pulled out. The Planners wished to prevent us paving the area in this vicinity which would have seriously reduced the l.ldditional parking area. At the same time in the garden of the Education Department nearby they were doing exactly that. We won! Today it has. developed into a well shaped tree. Its impressive tulip blooms are short lived but beautiful making their last claims to the "garden".
The 1970's saw a time of expansion in the Clubs activities. Every Directors meeting seemed to produce an interesting list of new members.
The addition of new members has always been a matter of great concern. On the one hand to encourage modest expansion to maintain income, but never to risk the appointment of applicants who might enter the Club for commercial reasons or jeopardise the good record of the Club. The system can sometimes appear a little slow but it works. Very seldom has a wrong appointment been made. Firstly the suggested name is put before the Directors, a proposer and seconder is required and if the Directors approve the application, the Nominations Form is posted on the notice board for the approval of all members, who have a right to "black ball" if they so desire.

There is a huge amount of choice in UK higher education and world class universities and it is the most popular destination for students from our school.
Applications are made through UCAS. Each student can apply to a maximum of 5 courses.
Early applicants (15th October) all other applicants (15th January). These are the final deadlines and school will set earlier deadlines so all additional information can be sent on time.
Universities will offer successful applicants conditional offers based on IB points scores. You then select a Firm Choice and an Insurance Choice from the offers you have received. Your Insurance Choice should be asking for a lower number of points than your Firm Choice.
If you then achieve the grades in your IB Diploma you will have your place at university confirmed.
Many UK universities have links with other European universities through the Erasmus programme and it is possible for students studying at UK universities to study at a university in a different European country for part of their course.
Tuition fees are now up to £9250 per year. UK and other EU students can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan. Tuition fees are paid in installments by the student once they have graduated.
Each university also offers different financial support, fee waivers, scholarships and bursaries so you need to check the university's website to find out if you are eligible.
If your final choice changes after your IB results come out you should then complete an EUC01 form.
If you are an EU national you need to complete an EU12N form to apply for a Tuition Fee Loan. This can be done after you have confirmed your choices with UCAS.
If you are a UK national you need to make an online application to Student Finance England to apply for a Tuition Fee Loan and a Maintenance Living Cost Loan. Bear in mind that you need a UK address in order to apply for the Maintenance Loan.
International students (non EU) are not entitled to Tuition Fee Loans. But you should research if there are other scholarships and fee waivers available to you.
Currently Scottish universities do charge tuition fees, but these fees are paid by the Students Award Agency for Scotland for EU students(not English, Welsh, Northern Irish students).
This make Scotland an excellent choice for EU students!
English, Welsh and Northern Irish students can apply for a tuition fee loan from SAAS.
You should apply online after you have confirmed your choices with UCAS.
The Welsh government give 'fee grants' of around £5000 for EU students (not English) for students who go to university in Wales, a tuition fee loan is given for the remainder of the fees which should be repaid after graduation.

ONE in four of the NRL's top players claim Polynesian heritage, while the ratio in the National Youth Competition and west Sydney junior representative teams is closer to half.
The revolution in English football and American football, in which players of African descent are prevalent, is being replicated in rugby league with the sons of the south Pacific. And Stephen Kearney, coach of the Kiwis and assistant to Craig Bellamy at Melbourne Storm, is almost certain to take the next step and become the NRL's first Polynesian coach.
Because more Polynesians are entering the top level of game in which more than 40 per cent of players in the junior leagues of Sydney's west claim heritage, Kearney, a Maori, would be attractive as an NRL coach. But Kearney is adamant "the colour of your skin shouldn't make a difference".
"I don't want to be caught up in a situation where I am offered a role because I'm Polynesian," he adds. "It's the same as the Kiwi coach job. I want to be offered a role because I can coach. I need to be aware of the whole package - what I am getting myself into."
The 45-Test veteran, universally admired for his rare blend of gentle power and tough durability, puts family first. In 2003, he was close to Gary Freeman's then world record for international appearances but came home before the third Test and the France leg because his daughter was ill.
"When you are on the other side of the world and your daughter is in hospital …" he says, the sentence trailing away because the rest is understood.
On a recent trip to Leeds with the Storm, it was apparent Jeff Lima, Jeremy Smith, Sam Tagataese (Samoan), Sika Manu, Israel Folau, Antonio Kaufusi (Tongan) and Adam Blair (Maori) hung out together, as if race does matter. "The lads in our club are always sitting next to each other," Kearney agrees, explaining their Storm nickname is "freshies", as in "fresh off the boat". "Family is the focus of their culture. Because family is so important to them all, it gives them a common interest."
Occasionally, commitment to family collides with comfort within the team environment. This is the basis of the internal tug-a-war with Folau, who must decide between what his family wants him to do - return to Brisbane and play for the Broncos - and what makes him happy, which is to remain in Melbourne.
One incident during the World Club Challenge trip demonstrated how Folau's Mormon upbringing sits comfortably with Storm culture.
Bellamy laid down the law about the team's Sunday visit to London, barring anyone from visiting a nightclub called The Church, which is popular with Aussie and Kiwi backpackers.
"None of you are to go near The Church," 'Bellyache' bellowed, before adding, "We don't care if 'Izzy' goes to a real one."
Folau beamed, reflecting the growing confidence of a lad who now signals confidently to half Cooper Cronk when he wants a high ball, or instructs men inside what lines he intends to run.
If Folau was to transfer to another club, without Polynesians around him, while expected to force his will on the new playmakers, it would possibly derail the career of one of the most fabulously talented players in the code's 100-year history.
There is a nagging paradox about the closeness of Polynesians and Kearney's dream of a rugby league world where all are colour-blind. When the Storm's Polynesians vote on the club's six-man leadership group, their votes never go to each other.
The Storm coaching staff would love to have a Polynesian in the six and the Polynesians could achieve this by a bloc vote but it never happens.
Asked whether there was any jealousy, even conflict between Samoans, Tongans, Maori and Fijians, Kearney says: "Their grandfathers might have had a problem. I can honestly say I have never witnessed any of that."
Polynesians do become leaders at Australian NRL clubs. Nathan Cayless is a long-standing captain of the Eels, Roy Asotasi and David Kidwell are co-captains of the Rabbitohs and Petero Civoniceva, of Fijian heritage, has been appointed skipper of the Panthers in his first year at the club. These players have also helped destroy the widespread myth Polynesian players lack stamina.
"Asotasi and Cayless are standouts, together with Jeff Lima," Kearney says. "They can play big minutes in the front-row position. You're always going to get some Polynesians who lack stamina but you'll get Aussie players knocking up, too.
"Asotasi, Sonny Bill Williams, the Puletua brothers and Frank Pritchard have been exposed to the inner NRL environment at age 16, 17. It's now a common thread for Polynesians with the NYC and SG Ball. They are gaining exposure to the Australian way of playing footy at a young age.
"In New Zealand, attack is the more dominant side but in Australia equal attention is given to defence in the young age groups. Plus the physical attributes of the the Polynesians mean they come ready made.
"If someone is 105-110kg and has good leg speed, a good carry of the football, when you get the attack-defence balance right, you've got a good package."
There was a touching moment following the Storm-Warriors round-one match when Bellamy leaned forward and spoke softly to his seated group about "our Polynesians".
An observer could be excused for believing Bellamy was lauding his Polynesians over the vanquished Polynesians from Auckland.
But the night before, during a preview session, Bellamy asked his Polynesians what it meant to play the Warriors, particularly with so many of the opposition of south Pacific heritage. Most confessed it meant a lot because they had been passed over by New Zealand scouts.
Bellamy then said it was beholden on his Australian players to play well. "If it means something to them," Bellamy said of his Polynesians, "it means something to us."
His after-match congratulations were to the Billy Slaters and Steve Turners who strived so hard for their Polynesian brothers.
"Those lads did play well on the night," Kearney says. "You could see from their efforts it meant something. The care factor was there."

The Hottest 2018 Netflix Movie That Made This Probiotic Drink Sell Out Instantly
By Jamie Beningfield - September 19, 2018
Many already indulge daily in the probiotic smoothie beverage that was created by microbiologist Minoru Shirota in Japan in the 1930s. For many others, this is a new discovery which was exposed while watching teenage rom-com Netflix movie To All the Boys I've Loved Before. Although named a "Korean yogurt smoothie" in the movie, audiences have clearly recognized that distinct red foil top of the Yakult bottle.
The movie shows cute character, Peter Kavinsky, taking a swig from the small bottle and exclaiming, "Oh, wow, that is really good!" He then turns to his "fake" girlfriend's sister and asks, "What do I have to do to get you to bring me one of these tomorrow?" The movie that came out in August has been a huge success and, ever since, Yakult bottles have been flying off supermarket shelves and selling out on Amazon!
With its creamy, sweet flavor, a bit like a watered-down fruit smoothie, the Yakult is also extremely convenient. Being only 2.7 ounces you can put it in your bag or purse for those times you are out and about, just like Peter who had one before heading off in the car. But wait, there's more, the bottle is also pretty good for you!
Yakult contains lots of probiotics, around 6.5 billion per bottle which help boost your immune system and keep your heart healthy. It's also important for a balanced digestive system.
However, these tiny bottles of goodness may not be as good as they seem. Bryan Baia, a nutrition coach for an app that allows people to accurately assess and compare their fitness and athleticism says, "Each bottle is only 50 calories, so this is very small, and for those 50 calories, it has 12 grams coming from carbohydrates, less than a gram of protein, and 11 grams of sugar!"
However, despite the debate, data reported by Bloomberg has revealed that the drink's stocks rose by 2.6% since the film started streaming, suggesting it is amazing to see what movie branding can do to a product!

Gautam Buddha's Life And Teaching
Lord Gautam Buddha, showed the world a new path with his great ideas and teachings and made an important contribution in bringing unprecedented change in society. Many people succeeded in their lives by the teachings given by Gautam Buddha, and also in their mind, the love of the society, the feeling of harmony was developed.
Gautam Buddha was the founder of the Buddhist religion, he was India's great philosopher, scientist, religious leader, a great social reformer. Gautam Buddha was born as Siddhartha in the Hindu religion, he also lived a normal life in this materialistic world, but after some time he left his wife and child, and after separation from the family he searched moksha and became a promoter.
Lord Gautam Buddha, was in search of divine knowledge, to seek the path of salvation for the world, to seek the reason of birth and death, and truth. Mahatma Gautam Buddha inspired the people to follow his path. Many people have changed their life after listening to the great teachings of Gautam Buddha.
That which appears to be permanent and permanent is also devastating. What appears to be great, it also collapses. Where there is a coincidence, there is destruction. Where there is birth there is also death.
While assimilating such supreme truth ideas, Mahatma Buddha established Buddhism which is one of the major religions of the world.
Lord Buddha was born in Lumbini forest near Kapilavastu in 563 BC. His father Śuddhodana was the ruler of Sakya kingdom Kapilavastu. Mother's name was Mahamaya, the princess of Koliyan. Mother Mahamaya died on the seventh day of birth of Mahatma Buddha i.e. Siddhartha (name of childhood), so he was raised by his aunt Maha Pajapati.
Siddhartha was of a spontaneous, thoughtful, and compassionate attitude from his childhood. Because of which his father was very worried. Later Siddhartha was married to Yashodhara at the age of 16 years. A few years after the marriage, a son was born, named Rahul.
Everywhere, the happiness of the birth of a son was being celebrated but Siddhartha said, he couldn't find peace. Although they enjoyed all happiness, peace was not available. Four scenes (old, patient, dead person, and ascetic) turned his life towards the path of restlessness. So, one day he left his sleeping son and his wife and went out in search of knowledge.
Siddhartha tried to get knowledge from two Brahmins in the Rajghat's capital, but there was no satisfaction. Afterward, he reached on the bank of river Niranjana, near the forest of Urvale, where he received five Brahmin ascetic worshipers. He did hard tenures with these ascetics but no benefit could be found.
After this Siddhartha reached Gaya (Bihar), he installed Samadhi under a tree and promised that unless the knowledge was received, he would not move from there. On seven days and seven nights he remains on Samadhi, on the eighth day, on the day of Baashaha Purnima, you experienced true knowledge. This incident was called "speech" The tree under which he received the knowledge is called "Mahabodhi tree" and the place in Gaya is said to be "Bodh Gaya". He succeeded after six years of extreme austerity and deep meditation.
After enlightenment, Mahatma Buddha first preached to his five former Saints associates in Sarnath (near Banaras). These disciples were called "Panchavigirya". The event of these teachings given by Mahatma Buddha is called 'Dharma-Chakra-Enlightenment'. Lord Buddha also went Kapilavastu. Where his wife, son, and many Sakyavansh became his disciples.
The teachings of Buddhism have been compiled by the Brahmin disciples under three Pitaka.
1. Vinaya Pitaka
2. Sutta Piṭaka
3. Abhidhamma Piṭaka
They are composed in the Pali language. In Buddhism, they attain the same place as Vedas in Hinduism.
Most of the Prophets of Lord Buddha were promoted by Emperor Ashoka. Ashok's heart changed from the massacre of the Kalinga war, he assimilated the teachings of Mahatma Buddha and conveyed these teachings to the masses by writing them. Bhimrao Ambedkar was also a follower of Buddhism.
Mahatma Buddha continued to circulate his thoughts in all the cities throughout his life. During the tour, when he reached Pava, he had diarrhea. After that, went to Kushinagar and on the day of Baishakh Purnima, the Amrit soul became absorbed in the human body in the absence of Brahmand. This incident is called 'Mahaparinirvana'. Mahatma Buddha's teachings are still guiding the path of public opinion in the country and abroad. Lord Buddha creates a strong opposition to violence.

Months of Coping With Covid-19 Leaves Restaurants Unsure About The Future
KSFR | By Mary Lou Cooper

Running a restaurant is a risky business in the best of times. According to the National Restaurant Association, during the pandemic, some 90,000 restaurants in the U.S. closed permanently.
Here in the Land of Enchantment, the New Mexico Restaurant Association estimates that out of 3500 pre-pandemic restaurants, 300 have closed their doors. As restaurant capacity limits were lifted, some restaurants appeared to be thriving while others still struggled. Currently, the number of out-of-work restaurant workers has shrunk by more than 70 percent, as measured by unemployment insurance filings.
Carol Wight, executive director of the New Mexico Restaurant Association, spoke with KSFR about how our state's restaurant industry has survived during the pandemic. Rob Day, owner of the Santa Fe Bar and Grill, added his insights on coping with COVID.

Q: Ambiguous overload for operator C++ #include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class StringNum {
public:
    string s;
    StringNum() {s = "";}
public:
    StringNum(int n) {
        for (int i=1; i<=n; i++) s += "x";

    }

    operator int () {
        return s.length();
    }

    StringNum operator - (StringNum v) {
        int len = s.length() - v.s.length();
        StringNum res;
        for (int i=1;i<=len;i++) res.s += "x";
        return res;
    }

    /* // long solution. But this will allow the program to run.
    template <class T>
    StringNum operator - (T value) {
        return (*this) - StringNum(value);
    }
    */
};

int main()
{
    StringNum x(4);
    cout << 3 - x; // this compiles
    cout << x - 3; // error: ambiguous overload for operator -
                   // change the program so that the 2nd line output 2
    return 0;
}

So I have a class that can be upcast from int/downcast to int (this is the simplified version, in the actual version StringNum is HighPrecisionFloat, and int is int/float/double/.. . etc).
When I compile the program, the error message
In function 'int main()':|
error: ambiguous overload for 'operator-' (operand types are 'StringNum' and 'int')|
note: candidate: operator-(int, int) <built-in>|
note: candidate: StringNum StringNum::operator-(StringNum)|

This happens because there are 2 ways to understand x - 3 :
a) int(x) - 3
b) x - StringNum(3)

One way to do this is to use template for each operator (+, -, *, /, dot product, etc...) But that is not very convenient because I have to write templates for each operator.
Is there a better solution to this problem? I wish to call x - StringNum(3). Thank you.

A: You can make your constructor and conversion to int explicit.
The compiler won't make implicit conversion between those types anymore, but you can still use them like so.
auto stringNum = StringNum{3}; //int to StringNum
int y = static_cast<int>(stringNum);

Paul Banks er en amerikansk blues- og folk-guitarist, der fra 1961 har boet i Danmark. Poul Banks har siden slutningen af 1960'erne medvirket på en lang række danske og udenlandske indspilninger. Udover guitar spiller Paul Banks på en række andre strengeinstrumenter, herunder banjo og mandolin.

Biografi
Paul Banks blev født i Denver i Colorado i USA. Han flyttede med familien til forskellige steder i USA. I slutningen af 1950'erne åbnede moderen sammen med stedfaderen Jo Banks en folkklub i Chicago, Purple Door og senere klubben Green Door. i 1961 flyttede familien til København og i 1963 åbnede folkklubben Purple Door på Højbro Plads i København. Paul Banks spillede med stedfaderen på scener i Danmark og i udlandet.

I 1970 udgav Paul Banks sin første plade, da han som frontman i gruppen AN tEARRACH udgav albummet AN tEARRACH sings Irish Folksongs på Spectator Records (SL 1009).

Han medvirkede på Sebastians første album, den engelsksprogede The Goddess, der blev indspillet i 1970, og medvirkede senere på den dansksprogede EP Lossepladsen bløder (1971) og LP'erne Den store flugt (1972), Blød lykke (1974), Gøgleren, Anton og de andre (1975) og Ulvehøjen (1977).

Sideløbende med samarbejdet med Sebastian medvirkede Paul Banks på en lang række danske indspilninger i 1970'erne og 1980'erne med bl.a. Anne Grete,  Ole "Fessor" Lindgren, Lars Graugaard, Trille, Tom McEwan & Jess Ingerslev, Andy Pape, Jan Toftlund, Erik Clausen & Leif Sylvester, Pia Raug, Bjarne Liller, Otto Brandenburg, Arne Würgler m.fl.

I midten af 1970'erne dannede Paul Banks sammen med amerikaneren Bill Hazen bandet Side Show, hvor også Jens Rugsted (bas) og Torben Weeberg (trommer) medvirkede. Bandet havde en del udskiftning, og senere spillede bl.a. også Michael Friis, Ken Gudman, Thomas Puggaard og Nils Tuxen i orkesteret. Efter Side Show blev Paul Banks løst tilknyttet bluesbandet Big Mama og blev endvidere en del af orkestret Krølle Eriks Skiffle Band, der i 1980 udgav albummet Raise A Ruckus.

I denne periode spillede han også sammen med et orkester bestående af Jørgen Lang (mundharpe), Martin Andersen (violin) og Michael Friis (bas), senere erstattet af Hugo Rasmussen. Efter et kort ophold i USA i 1981/82 vendte Banks tilbage til Danmark, hvor orkesteret tog navnet Paul Banks & MusikOrkesteret og sammen turnerede gruppen flittigt i Skandinavien. Gruppen udsendte et par album inden de blev opløst i 1985. Banks spillede herefter med en række forskellige musikere, herunder med saxofonisten Steen Vig, med hvem han udgav albummet Paul Banks & Steen Vig i 1987.

Op igennem 1990'erne har Banks fortsat medvirket på en lang række indspilninger som sideman, bl.a. på Moniques Shadows (1991), Albertes Lyse Nætter (1991) og Kim Larsens Hvem kan sige nej til en engel (1994).

We are happy to announce another exiting contest carnival. This time we are going to engage you every day with more exiting offers.
The Boddunan Daily Contests Carnival consists of two types of contests. One winner for each contest will be announced every day. So daily two members can win cash rewards.
Here is the complete details about the contests.
We have been giving cash rewards for best poll creator and creative poll creators. Now it is time for the best voter. The member who vote on maximum number of polls will be announced as the winner for that day.
Please note that there are approximately 2800 polls created so far. You are allowed to vote on a poll for a maximum of 1 time. So you will have the chance to vote a maximum of as many polls are available minus the polls on which you have already voted.
So please vote on the polls by reading the poll completely and select the right option that you think.
Warning: Polls that are voted without reading will not be considered. We will take the time between each vote into account. No questions entertained with this and the moderator decision of deciding the winner is final.
Unlike the above contest, you will have the ample scope to perform well in this contest. You can comment as many articles or polls as you wish. The top commenter will be declared as the winner.
Since there is no limit on number of comments you can do well in this category everyday. There are over 4500 articles and over 2800 polls available to comment. So you can try your luck every day.
And now the cash rewards for the contests. Each declared winner will be awarded 25 cash credits per contest.
1. Comments with no constructive information will not be considered.
2. Comments with single or two words like "thank you", "great", "ok" etc will not be considered.
3. Comments un-related to the article/poll you are posting is also not considered.
4. We take spamming as a serious issue and the members who spam would be banned from all future contests. Do not comment on article/poll unless you read it entirely.
5. As said earlier, voting without reading the poll is not accepted and you will loose chance to participate.
6. By commenting on articles/polls, you agreeing the boddunan general terms & conditions.
7. Boddunan reserves the right to cancel the program any time.
8. Boddunan reserves the right to edit/moderate the comments.
Please feel free to post your views about the programs.
A good move to ensure participation as well as to ensure that knowledge is read and shared.
yuppie i am excited knowing this. i am still waiting for my first cheque friends and already i am getting motivated to work more for boddunan.
Top commenter award is OK since one has to read properly before commenting.But daily top voter award will only supply some votes to all polls.
One more sugestion.You have been given terms and conditions.Why don't you introduce minus points for those deviating from these terms and conditions?
Deviating terms & conditions is not accepted and the member will no longer eligible for further contests. So no place to minus points.
I think this is a good move to encourage more activity on polls.
Please compare the traffic in forum discussion page of today with yesterday.Any serious problem?
Generally we will get less participation on weekends and more on weekdays. The reason is most of the people use our website at work.
Do you find any difference?

Midas carol city is your one-stop shop for brakes, oil changes, tires and all your auto repair needs.
With end the last few months I have used this Midas location. I was helped by Ms Pearl Fox and I must say that she was personable and gave me the information that I needed to get the repairs done on my vehicle. The work done was great and solved the problems each and every time. The shop personnel was professional and knowledgeble about what was needed and done.
Good customer service but they did not full all levels. No windshield wiper fluid.
Went in for a synthetic oil change. Everyone was very professional and friendly. The results of the inspection were reviewed with me and there was no pushiness in having other work done. It was matter of fact as to what needed to be done (which I already knew I needed). I had the serpentine belt changed and the technician took the time to do the job efficiently and was very focused. The difference in how the car runs is impressive. I had the same belt changed before but's the work was not done to the high level of this belt change. I'm definitely going back to this Midas for my future car service needs.
Happy customer...Just want to say, this is a follow up review to a previous post. During my initial visit for car maintanence I felt the service I requested was not complete. I ask for an oil change and tire rotation but only received the oil change and estimate of things I didn't want done. Well, after my review, I was contacted by Midas the manager Chris within the hour, who immediately rectified the problem. Well to say the least, the serviceman actually did do the work as promised but didn't address the car lit dash board (engin and tire light) one of my concerns. Chis was extremly apoligetic for my inconvenience and ask me to come in to fix the problem. Chris had his staff investigate the situation. He also ask me to personally meet him at the shop so he could help me. When I arrived, the site manager who was also, pleasant approached me to help and was able to assure me that the work was done. She actually was able to verify the work was done as I requested. However, the details of the service was not outlined in my invoice. In addition, Chis look at the lit dashboard and fixed my dashboard engine light and explain the reason the tire light was on. Turns out that the original complaint was caused do to lack of communication. Midas staff and site manager was very empathic and seem very concerned that I had an issue and was willing to make things right. The bottom line is that my confidence in Midas is restored.
Amazing people work at this Midas. They care about your car and you. Impeccable customer service. I will forever be a customer. Richard & pearl ??
No Longer In the Dark!
I've been having a problem w/my headlight (driver's side). I brought my car to Midas. After explaining the issues with the light, Richard said it was the socket. When he checked the light that's exactly what the problem was! My friends tease me all the time about the Faith I have in my Midas store on 183 street and 27the Avenue. Anytime I have an issue with my car (s) I go to Midas. They are my family! Johnny, Pearl, Richard and the crew are the absolute BEST!!! I've been a satisfied customer for over 30 years!
Pearl is an outstanding employee with excellent people skills. I appreciate her attention to details advised us females on taking good care of our vehicles. Providing all the necessary advised for recommended service care needed urgently . She takes the time to explain the Credit payments plan that's available. Thanks to all her personal care and attention to customers needs and overall satisfaction. I am pleased with service and became a Midas costumer.
The beautiful lady at the front desk was very helpful and her customer service makes me want to always come back to her. I forgot her name but I'll come again and thank you very much, have good day... G.P.
Great overall experience over the phone and in person.
Love this place. Many places take advantage and tell me (not knowledgeable about cars) a horror story about what's wrong with my car but this place is honest, thorough, and quick. The staff is also very accommodating, personable, and helpful.
I hate going to get my car service alone but at Midas in Miami Gardens the staff treated me with respect and the customers are friendly.
Originally I went for an oil change but needed other work done. Everyone was courteous and professional actuallyMs. Fox was very helpful. She answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable. A very pleasant visit. I would recommend this store.
Professional and efficient staff. Inspected all brake components. Visually showed repair work that was needed and explained why,along with the total cost of the repairs. Also gave different options so that I could decide on my own what to pay for the work that was needed.
The manager and auto technicians are professional and friendly. Yes, I would highly recommend Midas in Miami Gardens to someone I know. In the beginning I only took my car to the dealership, but they became very expensive. A family member convinced me to try Midas. I enjoy the staff and the price is much more affordable.
Will recommend this location and will return for more service. Staff/Mechanics are very knowledgable and efficient. They value customer time and that's a plus in my book.
The service was great. All the workers are courteous and helpful. Pearline is very polite and knowledgeable.
Excellent customer service from Ms. Pearl. She's very welcoming and accommodating.
The entire team was friendly and had a great service attitude. The service technician walked me around and under the car and showed me all the things I need to watch on my vehicle and made long-term recommendations on taking care of my vehicle. They didn't try to sell me anything that I didn't need. This will definitely be where I take my vehicles in the future.
Very satisfied with service provided ... Very knowledgeable and professional staff at this location. I have been using Midas to service my BMW 3 Series for quite some time now and every time I leave the service center my BMW handles and drives very smooth. Love this service center. Excellent work and very satisfied. Keep up the good work.
The service was excellent at midas. They were efficient and friendly. They explained all servicing details and provided a comprehensive analysis on my vechile. I appreciate all the kind work from the midas team. Thank you once again.
Great costumer service from the time of arrival until the end, the front desk lady is phenomenal. The owner and all the repair guys were very friendly, involved and explained every step of the repair and service. I was very happy with the service. Definitely going back again.
I've been to Midas' Miami Gardens location on numerous occasions. I can honestly say that they don't stop working until the job is done and the customer is satisfied. Ms. Pearl and AJ were very professional and kind. All of the associates are informative and I would recommend this place to a friend.
I been to the Miami Gardens Midas over 6 times for both my cars for almost 2 years and Wow.. Great Service and Pearl is awesome.
Although it took 5 hours of waiting, everyone was attentive and informative with the progress of the repairs that were being done. The offer that was obtained using Groupon discount lessoned the overall amount paid for the brake job.
The staff was very helpful. Pearl provided a warm and helpful atmosphere.
The staff here are wonderful and very helpful not only to me, but also to everyone that came in while I was waiting. They are very inform in my opinion with their recommendations and patience. I will absolutely continue to come to this location.
Received fast friendly and professional service. Would recommend this Midas location to everyone!
This is my third time going to this Midas location. I have a 2007 Toyota Yaris I bought used. I usually go there to just get an oil change. It irks me that they constantly suggest the Royal Flush (my cars been flushed three times) but I can't fault them on that they go by mileage. I rarely drive my car so I definitely won't bother with that again for sometime. Given that the Royal Flush is one of the more expensive packages the workers were willing to work with financing. Most other places would be "just take it or leave it." But this location try to help people out with coupons and discounts.
I had my 2012 Camry service on February 10, 2015. The Store Manager Mrs. Pearl Fox provided excellent customer service. She was professional,knowledgeable, and treated the customers with respect. She definitely made my experience a pleasant one. In the future, I will come back to Midas for my future car repairs and services. Mrs. Pearl really provided service that made a difference. Thank you so much.
This was the Best repair service I ever have experienced. The store manager Mrs. Fox was extremely professional, kind, thorough & knowledgeable. I did not feel cheated. The mechanic that worked on my car was just as professional, taking time to show me the problem and explaining the problem clearly to me. Luv this place FINALLY found a place that is NOT a rip off.
Midas Management at 18525 N. W. 27th Avenue Miami Gardens, FL 33056.

Q: Namespace in rails routing First, why do we need to namespace controllers?
The example on rails guides shows
namespace :admin do
  resources :post, :comments
end

In this case, we have paths such as GET /admin/posts. Is it identical to GET /posts? Or is GET /posts kept as original while another GET /admin/posts is added as extra?
Does rails create any other stuff for namespace?

A: You dont have to use namespaces if you dont want to, but it's there to make your life easier, specially in big applications with a lot of controllers. And no, routes arent duplicated if you namespace them, unless you specify the route again in your route file without the namespace, but that doesnt make much sense.

Q: Alternative to forceSpellCheck on contenteditable elements in Webkit I'm trying to force spell check on a contenteditable element that is not being directly modified by the user's keystrokes (i.e. I'm translating events and performing content changes, selections, etc, via Javascript). This is an issue, as Webkit browsers only attempt to spell check content that is from the user, of which I have none via the event translations.
Element.forceSpellCheck() remains unsupported everywhere which should be the right way to do this.
The technique for dealing with this on inputs was to mimic a selection on each word as discussed here.
I haven't had any luck in getting this technique working on contenteditable elements. The only behavior that will reliably result in the spellchecker's red underline is using the arrow keys and not overriding the events - only when the cursor is placed directly on a misspelled word will the visual red line appear.
Is there another strategy to try out for dealing with this?

Non-Linear Taylor Rule through Threshold Estimation
Bhaduri, Saumitra and Sethudurai, Raja (2013): Non-Linear Taylor Rule through Threshold Estimation.
This paper tries to identify non-linearity in the estimation of Taylor type reaction function for Reserve Bank of India using a threshold estimation technique of Hansen (2000). For the monthly data from March 2001 to October 2009 with Repo rate as the policy rate the estimation significantly identifies two thresholds with inflation and one threshold with output gap as threshold variables. We compared this model with that of a naïve univariate model and the typical Taylor type reaction function, the results are in support of the non-linear model in predicting the repo rate at turning points with more accuracy than the other two competing models.

Prolonged effects of short-term fosinopril on blood pressure and vascular morphology and function in rats.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the delayed effects of an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor on blood pressure and on structural and functional alterations in mesenteric small resistance arteries of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The ACE inhibitor fosinopril (25 mg/kg/day) was administered according to three different schedules: in one group of SHR from 4 to 8 weeks of age (n = 12), in a second group from 8 to 12 weeks of age (n = 15), and in a third group from 4 to 12 weeks of age (n = 12). Eighteen untreated SHR and 18 untreated Wistar-Kyoto rats served as controls. About half the animals in each group were killed at 13 weeks of age, and the remaining were killed at 38 weeks of age. After death, relative left ventricular mass (left ventricular weight/body weight) was calculated. Vascular morphology (media:lumen ratio) and function (responses to norepinephrine and acetylcholine) in mesenteric small resistance arteries were then assessed using a micromyographic technique. Short-term fosinopril, given either before or after the development of hypertension, persistently reduced (but did not normalize) systolic blood pressure, vascular structural alterations, and reactivity to norepinephrine in mesenteric resistance arteries in SHR. These favorable effects were maintained at least for 26 to 30 weeks after treatment withdrawal. The endothelium-dependent vasodilator response to acetylcholine was improved at 13 but not at 38 weeks of age, in treated SHR. Therefore, the vascular response to norepinephrine seems to be dependent mainly on the structure of the vessels, whereas endothelial function is probably more linked to the hemodynamic load.

The climate in Libya
All climate diagrams on this page come from the collected data of 26 weather stations.
Weather stations at an altitude above 730m have not been included.
Back to overview: Libya
Climate zone: Subtropics of the northern hemisphere
For 9 months, the average temperatures are over 25 degrees. Pleasant water temperatures of up to 28 degrees even invite you to bathe in the warm season. The warmest and rainiest part of the country is Fezzan. The coldest is Tripolitania.

Temperature records of the last 73 years
The hottest temperature measured from 1949 to September 2022 was reported by the Jalo weather station. In June 2010, the record temperature of 48.5 °C was reported here. The hottest summer from July to September, based on all 25 weather stations in Libya below 730 meters altitude, was recorded in 2002 with an average temperature of 31.1 °C. This average temperature will normally be measured every four to six hours, thus also including the nights. Normally, this value is 28.5 degrees Celsius.
The coldest day in these 73 years was reported by the Gariat El Sharghia weather station. Here the temperature dropped to -4.5 °C in January 2019. Gariat El Sharghia lies at an altitude of 497 meters above sea level. The coldest winter (January to March) was in 1992 with an average temperature of 12.3 °C. In Libya, it is usual to have about 2.4 degrees more at 14.6 °C for this three-month period.
The most precipitation fell in January 1991. With 12.3 mm per day, the Derna weather station recorded the highest monthly average of the last 73 years. Incidentally, the region with the most rainfall for the whole year is around Tripoli Airport. The driest region is near Kufra.
Data basis and methodology
The data from the individual measuring stations are based on the archives of the German Weather Service, individual values averaged and supplemented by own elements. In order to determine a representative national average, average values were first calculated for each part of the country, which were then summarized at the national level. Thus, if a disproportionate number of weather stations are located in a small area, their number does not affect the national average.

Yuko Nexus6 is a Japanese performance artist. Especially active in the electro-acoustic/computer music scene. She did not go to any music or art school. When she was 30 years old --at that time, she was an office worker-- she met Apple Macintosh classic II computer and fell in love with it.
Then, she started her musical career with Max/MSP and other sound softwares. In 1998, she released her first solo CD <Bit Diary> (now out of print). This album was made by 8bit lo-fi sounds from her PowerBook 165. This sound diary album was beloved by many people such as: artschool students, professional classical music composers, jazz improvisers, etc.
In 2002, she released her 3rd solo CD <Journal de Tokyo> from Sonore (Tokyo based French label). This album got Honorary Mention at Ars Electronica digital music part 2003. Her style is very unique. Using simple handmade Max/MSP programs, some toys and her voice, she performs between music and sound art, music and performance art, artistic work and childish play.
Since 2001, she is a member of the WPAO, an Osaka based women artist group.
On Feb. 20th @share, Yuko is planning to perform some mysterious songs from her latest album, 'NEXUS6 SONGBOOK' (SONORE RECORDS), and improvisation with laptop and cassette tapes.
In fact, on the 20th, we'll be located at ORT. _not_ at openair.
It'll be a holiday weekend. so you can stay late too!!


Did you know that when Myrna asks you if you are a synth, saying "no" makes you a dirty great liar? It's all true! Probably. Spoiler warning: contains spoilers on Fallout 4 and its DLC, Far Harbour.
First off, we'll start with the Far Harbour DLC character, DiMA. If you are not yet familiar with DiMA, he is a prototype synth that suggests that you, the player character, may also be a synth. He suggests that the reason behind this is that you have one specific memory from before you awoke in the cryogenic capsule (the day the bombs fell), but nothing else. No memories of your first kiss or anything like that. Just that one, single memory.
Secondly we have the fact that everyone in Vault 111 is dead after the second thawing, besides you. It could be that you were the one person there that had a strong enough body to survive, but I make Endurance my dump attribute most of the time so that hardly seems plausible. What makes more sense is that the Institute killed everyone else – including you – and put your synth body (made from Shaun's DNA) in the cryogenic capsule so that you don't question your surroundings when you are activated.
Then there's the fact that you upgrade in sudden jumps – like software updates. You can heal using any blood pack you find, despite other people having to worry about their blood group (some Gunners tattoo it on their foreheads). You can eat corpses to heal and get no ill effects, while the Trappers on Far Harbour probably have some nasty prion diseases from doing the same. You also never get cancer, despite wandering into nuclear fallout zones, and treating addiction is as simple as having a Refreshing Drink.
The most damning piece of evidence, however, is VATS. VATS just shows up at the start of the game with no announcement, it's just like "hey, you can shoot things in slow motion if you like". And it's not part of the Pip-Boy software – you can use it in Vault 111 before you get the Pip-Boy. I've tested it myself. Where does it come from, then? The Institute. In the Robotics lab, one of the terminals contains a description of a "unique project", where a synth can be upgraded to perceive time as being slower than usual while detecting the percentage odds of hitting a target with a ballistic weapon. Like, come on, that's a dead giveaway!
So why would the Institute make you a synth? I'd suggest it's to do with creating free will. The Institute is all about improving humanity – their motto is "Mankind, redefined", and want to repopulate the world with more resilient humans. Many Institute scientists claim that the synths are biologically superior to humans, but not capable of free will. If you go ahead and destroy your creators, you prove yourself to have complete autonomy (a bit like The Talos Principle). Of a sample of Fallout 4 players on Reddit, 65% of these destroyed the Institute. 65% of these were an experimental success. After its destruction, it could well be that the Institute had a remote server that uploaded your personality to every Gen3 synth in the Commonwealth.
Of course, it'd be very easy to spot synths then. Just look for the people carrying silly amounts of duct tape.

MAP DESIGN
Maps are useful. Everyone uses Google Maps on their smartphones and location-based data is increasingly important. North Mapping Services specialise in developing interactive webmapping, allowing client data to take off by hosting your map online and giving it added interactivity. Although 'the map is not the territory', webmapping helps it to come close.
Here are some of our recent projects:
Cuilcagh to Cleenish Memory Map
The Cuilcagh to Cleenish project is a community development initiative based in south-west Co. Fermanagh, NI. For the last 3 years they have been collecting local heritage information to help record and communicate the unique natural and cultural aspects of the region. NMS collaborated with the project to produce an interactive map for their website, bringing together a series of films, sound recordings and images and presenting these against a custom-made interactive webmap, designed to work on desktop and mobile platforms.
We're very proud to have produced this resource, winner of 2 categories at the 2021 Council for British Archaeology Archaeological Achievement Awards!
The Belfast Ring of Steel project
We recently produced the Ring of Steel website, which tells the story of the infamous security cordon that surrounded Belfast city centre during the period of the Troubles. The work involved researching geographical and archival information from a variety of sources and creating an interactive map showing the changing extent of the cordon over the period.
Belfast Townlands interactive webmap
Ireland is divided into townlands, one of the oldest surviving units of land division still used in Europe. Most townland names are 'anglicised' versions of their original Gaelic names. The original names describe important information, like geographical features and the names of locally important people from the past. We created this webmap to show the names of the townlands around Belfast, the original Irish names and what the original names mean translated into English. The data comes from OSNI townlands mapping available on OpenDataNI and Place Names NI.
Use your mouse/ trackpad/ fingers to zoom into the map and reveal the townlands of Belfast. Use the buttons at top-right to change the townland names.
Larne Church Trail
The Larne Church Trail is an interactive story map, showing locations and historical information for old churches in the district around Larne, Northern Ireland. We produced the mapping and also the photography and historical research.
Webmapping is a powerful way of presenting information. We help to create the map by building the story from various sources - researching public records, interviewing individuals and exploring and collecting data on the ground.
There are many options for designing online graphic interfaces and interactive elements. Get in touch to find out more.
