Shimoda: Vol. 3.1 "Ohama!" or "Joseph Goes to the Beach"
Joseph jumps aboard a Black Ship, the Susquehanna.
If you can't find Joseph, you might need to click on it to enlarge.
After a fitful night of sleep stressing over what I thought would be another cloudy tomorrow, I woke up early to blue sky through the curtains. Sweet Hallelujah!
In a moment of panic, Joseph runs for the lifeboats.
Women and children, shmimmen and shmildren.
After downing another Yoshoku A Set for breakfast, we hurried down to the train station to catch the 8:20 bus. We had a few minutes to wait, so I let Joseph play in the boat in the meantime.
Joseph was finally coaxed out when I told him he could man the cannons for a while. He's so easily amused.
We took the #4 bus to Kisami, then, after asking for directions, walked about 10 to 15 minutes over to the beach. It was worth it.
Joseph gets right to work on his tan.
Our first stop was the main section of the beach, kind of off to the side. It was nice and all, but when I tried to go swimming, one of the SHIPS guys came and told me that area was for surfing. Eeeh? There weren't even any surfers around. Not wanting to be kept from the water, and not wanting to swim with the hordes, I poked around a little and decided that the little nook around the rock was the place for us.
360-degree view of the calmer section of Ohama Beach.
Not wanting to miss a second of sun time, Joseph's back down on the towel again as soon as it's laid out.
Quit hogging the towel, man! I want to lay out too!
Fresh from the water. Well, I was. Joseph's not much of a swimmer.
In the interest of getting some other less boring photos to show you folks, I meandered down the main part of the beach. There wasn't much interesting there either, but here you go. At least it's not pictures of me and Joseph.
A private hotel beach at the far end.
Joseph likes our part better. Me too, Jo.
What a great idea to bring a kiddie pool for the kiddies!
Finally, after 4 hours or so on the beach I started to worry about getting burned and my stomach was starting to nag at me, so we packed up and headed to the warm showers (for 300 yen). I hated to leave, since that would be it, but I also didn't want red shoulders for the trek home. In the end, I only got a couple small spots of sunburn, and they were good by the next day. Gotta love that 50 SPF.
Joseph gets ready to tuck into a big cheeseburger with avocado.
Hold your horses there, Joseph. Who's paying for that?
The Paradise Cafe where we had lunch. It was ... meh. But nice beachy ambience, and there's a pool or jacuzzi or something on the back deck.
That's right, Joseph, here's where we wait for the bus back.
Joseph gets excited on the ride home because I told him he could push the stop button.
And so our trip to the beach sadly came to an end. Looking at these pictures now, I wish I could be there again, instead of cooped up in my little house with the curtains drawn, trying to avoid the hot sun. Another day might have been the ticket, but that's not how it all worked out.
Next up: What I did after the beach.
Hey Ab. Very entertaining post. You and the 'sef look to have had a good time. The poor guy doesn't tan well at all.
That first shot of Joseph working on his tan should have the caption "Ahhhhh".
Peace in the Far East.
"Gura wa Kachi" or "Aratamabashi, Suckas!"

Gorilla shot and killed at Cincinatti Zoo

Boy falls into gorilla enclosure
Zookeepers shot and killed a rare gorilla recently after a 3-year-old boy slipped into its enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo, bringing an outcry over how the situation was handled.
We would do the same again, the zoo's director said Monday.
Cincinnati Zoo Director Thane Maynard stands by the decision to kill 17-year-old silverback Harambe to save the childs life. The kid went under a rail, through wires and over a moat wall to get into the enclosure, said a spokesperson at the zoo. Video footage shot by a visitor shows Harambe dragging the child through the water as the clamour of the crowd grows stronger.
Zookeepers shot the 450-pound gorilla with a rifle, rather than tranquilizing him. The brief encounter sparked widespread Internet outrage over the decision to shoot Harambe and whether the child's parents were to blame for their failure to look after him.
But those second-guessing the call "don't understand silverback gorillas," Maynard said in a news conference. And, they were not there when it was time to make the critical decision.
"That child's life was in danger. People who question that don't understand you can't take a risk with a silverback gorilla — this is a huge strong dangerous creature," he said. "Looking back, we'd make the same decision. The child is safe."
The family was visiting the zoo on Saturday when the boy slipped away and entered the enclosure. Kimberley Ann Perkins O'Connor, who captured part of the incident on her phone, told CNN she overheard the boy joking to his mother about going into the water. Then, suddenly, there he was, being dragged by Harambe.
The unidentified boy was taken to a Children's Hospital and released Saturday evening. The family thanked the zoo in a statement through a public relations firm:
Whats your opinion, is this parental neglect, should the gorilla have been tranquilized, should there be a public enquiry, let us know in the comments box.

The Daily Star (Beirut) has been one of the absolute best sources for reliable and up-to-date information on what is going on in Syria, and on the broader significance of events.
(T)he death toll is now reaching 8,000, according to estimates, and the Syrian government's cleansing of towns continues.
Figures of more than 60 a day dead are now becoming commonplace. Yet in a year of massacres, attacks, bombardments and destructions of villages, towns and cities that dare to protest we have seen the international community become mere witnesses, recording events. They simply count the numbers of dead, highlighting the devastation that has been caused.
Their action is painfully limited. Kofi Annan is to travel to Damascus Saturday to confront the violence, but what he can bring to the table is a continuation of what the regime has listened to, and ignored, all year. The United States', the West's and the United Nations' semantic exercises continue unabated, and so does the bloodshed enacted by the Syrian government.
As long as independent foreign media and observers are not allowed in to witness the true scale of the chaos in Syria, it can be assumed that we will continue to face a fiasco, with an international reaction that not only does not help, but actually provides a respite for the regime to continue its campaign of destruction.
As the sad spectacle of Kofi Annan's "mediation" of the conflict proceeds, and the world's attention is turned to what Russia, or Annan, or the U.S. or other countries are saying in their interminable diplomatic dance, it is of utter importance that we all follow the example of The Daily Star and keep our attention riveted on what is happening on the ground.
Let us all, together, focus primarily on that, on events on the ground. As Kofi Annan prepares to travel to Damascus on Saturday, March 10, tanks are surrounding Idlib, soldiers have been bussed to the area, and the new onslaught has already begun as tanks overrun villages in outlying areas. In the meantime, tanks and artillery continue to attack civilian neighborhoods in Homs. Undoubtedly, they are also on the move in other parts of Syria.
Lauren Williams, "Deaths mount in Syria on eve of Annan talks," The Daily Star (Beirut), March 10, 2012 (02:04 AM local time).
Not only is Kofi Annan's mission the wrong mission, but he has shown by essentially advancing the Russian position that he is not the right man for the job. Nor is it wise to place in a single individual the job of representing both the Arab League and the United Nations.
If Annan does not produce a complete ceasefire and withdrawal of tanks from cities within seven days, then his mission should be terminated by Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon. This goes against the usual diplomatic inertia and courtesies and niceties, but it constitutes what is required if the killing in Syria is to be stopped.

Q: React/TSX file not executing in scripting.executeScript() method - Chrome Extension MV3 I'm building a Chrome Extension using React, TypeScript, and Webpack.
In background.js, I'm querying the tabs using chrome.tabs.query and checking if the urls include "example" since I'm using example.com for testing. Then, I use chrome.scripting.executeScript to inject a React TSX component onto the DOM, but it doesn't work. Both the service worker and example.com consoles are free of errors.
When I use vanilla JS in ExampleScript.js, it works fine. I injecte a red div element onto the webpage and got an alert to pop up. It's only when I try to use React that it breaks.

A newly discovered vulnerability in computer chips raised concerns on Wednesday that hackers could access sensitive data on most modern systems. Chip giant Intel issued a statement responding to a flurry of warnings surfacing after researchers discovered the security hole which could allow privately stored data in computers and networks to be leaked. Google released findings from its security researchers saying it made the results public days ahead of schedule because much of the information had been in the media.
Computer security experts have discovered two major security flaws in the microprocessors inside nearly all of the world's computers. The two problems, called Meltdown and Spectre, could allow hackers to steal the entire memory contents of computers, including mobile devices, personal computers and servers running in so-called cloud computer networks. There is no easy fix for spectre, which could require redesigning the processors, according to researchers.
As for meltdown, the software patch needed to fix the issue could slow down computers by as much as 30%- an ugly situation for people used to fast downloads from their favourite online services. Meltdown is a particular problem for the cloud computing services run by the likes of Amazon, Google and Microsoft. By Wednesday ,Google and Microsoft said they had updated their systems to deal with the flaw.
Amazon told customers of its Amazon Web Services(AWS) cloud service that the vulnerability " has existed for more than 20 years in modern processor architectures." But is had protected all instances of AWS and that customers must update their own softwares running atop the service as well.

Nokia 8.3 Review: A PureView Camera in all but Name
4 Performance and software
5 Battery and security
6 Price and availability
7 Our Take
7.1 Is there a better alternative?
7.2 How long will it last?
7.3 Should you buy one?
7.3.1 Editors' Recommendations
"A wonderful camera and a long-lasting battery make the Nokia 8.3 desirable, and the Android One software updates and 5G make it a safe buy for the future."
Excellent main and ultra-wide cameras
Large, attractive screen
Android One software
No water resistance
60Hz refresh rate screen
Weak zoom and macro photos
There was once a time when Nokia ruled the phone camera world, but Huawei, Apple, and Samsung have all come along and become better known for amazing cameras since that time. However, with the Nokia 8.3 it has taken some significant steps forward with the help of long-time partner Zeiss, to the point where I think the phone deserved to wear the famous PureView name, traditionally given to its best performing camera-centric phones.
What's even better is the phone doesn't cost $1,000, and yet still comes with tech you need for the future, and guaranteed software updates for a good few years as well. The Nokia 8.3 one of 2020's best competitively priced phones, so let's get into why.
You know what you're getting with Nokia's most recent designs as they mostly follow a similar trend: A top-center mounted camera module, a chin bezel under the screen, and colors inspired by its Nordic roots. The Nokia 8.3 doesn't shout about its looks, doesn't bowl you over with attention-grabbing folding screens, and there isn't much emphasis on keeping the weight or thickness of the hardware down. The 8.3 is therefore a modern Nokia phone through-and-through.
It's 220 grams, 8.9mm thick, and 78.5mm wide so it's a hefty chunk of a phone in your hand, at least compared to the OnePlus 8 and the iPhone 11. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor is a great decision ergonomically, as it stops you having to juggle a heavy phone while locating an in-display sensor, plus it's accurate and responsive. The Polar Night color is deep blue, almost black in places, until you get it into the light, when streaks of azure catch the eye. It's classy and stylish, and stops the otherwise quite ordinary phone from becoming dull.
Bad parts? I really don't like the Nokia logo on the bottom bezel, I dislike the Google Assistant hardware button because I accidentally press the stupid thing, while the flat screen and glossy back means the phone slides across most surfaces like it's on wheels. This said, it does feel a little pointless nitpicking at the Nokia 8.3's design when it's definitely not ugly, and the build and materials used are excellent.
Here's what you need to know: The Nokia 8.3's camera is brilliant. No caveat is really needed either, it would be a brilliant smartphone camera if it was on the back of a phone that cost a lot more, too. It wears the PureView name on the spec sheet, but it really deserved to have it in the official name, as its talents are quickly accessible and it takes consistently excellent photos in most conditions, unlike the often disappointing Nokia 9 PureView from early last year.
It has a 64-megapixel main sensor, a 12MP sensor with an ultra-wide lens, plus a pair of 2MP sensors for depth and macro duties. On paper this isn't that impressive, but the results are stunning. Photos are drenched in rich colors and filled with pin-sharp detail, and crucially pack an emotional punch. By this I mean nothing gets too saturated or over-enhanced, letting the photograph speak for itself, but without losing the visual pop needed to make pictures instantly shareable.
HMD Global's ongoing partnership with Zeiss undoubtedly makes a difference to the performance, and its success here reminds me of how Huawei and Leica really came together to produce the superb Huawei P10. There's a simplicity in its use, too. You have a wide-angle and a standard view, plus a Night mode, and that's all you should trouble yourself with. Selfies are great, especially using the Zeiss-tuned filter modes which gives a really cool look to your photos, and although it's software driven, the bokeh mode has good edge detection.
Is it perfect? No, but its downsides don't outweigh the positives. There's no zoom feature, the 2MP Macro mode is rubbish, and the camera often generally struggles with focus when working close up. The app annoyingly stays in Portrait mode when you return to the app after closing it, instead of defaulting back to standard photo mode, and I did get some unattractive haloing and lens flare sometimes.
Dig deeper and the Night mode is very effective provided it's not very dark. It reveals a lot more texture and detail, much as Night mode once did on Huawei phones like the P20 Pro. The Zeiss-enhanced portrait mode produces a very strong bokeh effect, but this can be adjusted after you've taken the photo. There's an editing suite for the manual Pro video mode, too, where anamorphic-style lens flare can be added to your videos. If you shoot your video expecting to do this later it can look effective, but if you don't, it just looks artificial.
The Nokia 8.3 has the easy, pick-up-and-shoot usability of the Google Pixel 4a, and shoots photos that will make you want to get creative and experiment with it more.
It's a 6.81-inch IPS LCD screen with a 20:9 aspect ratio, and Nokia's "PureDisplay" technology on the front of the phone. PureDisplay enables always-on HDR, adaptive brightness, and enhanced color accuracy and sharpness. I did find the adaptive brightness to be poor though, particularly when it turned the brightness right down in bright sunlight so I couldn't see the screen at all.
Watching video is delightful, with some amped-up colors and contrast with PureDisplay switched on, or a more natural palette that's closer to the iPhone 11 Pro's look with it switched off. The single speaker is acceptable, but it doesn't excite with its sound. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack on the body for wired headphones if you prefer.
While the screen is colorful and pretty, it does lack a 90Hz or higher refresh rate that's very much expected at this price. I notice this immediately after coming from a device with a higher refresh rate — the scrolling simply isn't as smooth on the Nokia — but if you haven't had the feature before, obviously the switch won't be so jarring. However, it's a feature that's on several competing phones and almost all flagships, and it does improve viewing and lessen fatigue, so it's missed here.
Performance and software
Qualcomm's Snapdragon 765G processor drives the Nokia 8.3 with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM, and 64GB or 128GB of internal storage, depending on the model you buy. There is a MicroSD card slot to boost this number, too.
The Nokia 5.3 has 5G, although I do not live in an area with coverage so could not test this feature. To get a little technical, the Nokia 8.3 supports more 5G bands than any other currently available 5G phone, and supports NSA (non-standalone) and SA (standalone) 5G systems, so when 5G is more widely available the phone will happily connect to the network. 4G reception is strong, and call quality is really excellent. Oddly though, during video calls you can't turn the volume down below a certain point, so it's impossible to mute the sound entirely.
Here are the benchmark results:
3DMark Sling Shot Extreme: 3,006 (Vulkan)
Geekbench 5: 1,523 Multi-Core/559 Single Core
Comparing it with the LG Velvet, the OnePlus Nord, and the Motorola Edge, which have the same processor, the Nokia improves on the 3DMark score, but can't match the Geekbench 5 score on either. It cannot reach the scores achieved by the OnePlus 8, which has a Snapdragon 856 processor and more RAM. Gaming is fun, however, and I didn't experience any performance problems or excessive heat when playing Asphalt 9: Legends.
Another triumph on the Nokia 8.3 is the use of Google's Android One software. It's essentially the same experience as you get on a Pixel phone, with a clean, clear, logical, and consistent design, plus solid reliability when it comes to running apps and doing your everyday tasks. There are a few tweaks needed to make it better, from the adaptive brightness to the oddly inconsistent volume control, but otherwise it facilitates a pleasing, stress-free mobile life.
Yes, I said life, because a big advantage here is Android One will have major system updates for the next two years, and security updates for the next three, all of which will arrive in a timely fashion. You shouldn't need to think about software updates when choosing a phone, but they're very important, and HMD Global's decision to use Android One means you can go in worry-free.
Battery and security
A fingerprint sensor is built into the power key on the side of the phone. It's ergonomically comfortable for me as a right-handed person, and it has proven accurate and mostly reliable, too. The phone is powered by a massive 4,500mAh battery, and over the course of my first days it has easily proven to have the guts to last two full days with moderate to high use. You'll find an 18W charging block in the box, but the phone does not support wireless charging.
The Nokia 8.3's pre-order date is September 23 in the U.S., and September 22 in the U.K. and Europe, and it will ship from October 8. Available from Amazon in the U.S. the phone costs $699. In the U.K. it costs 499 British pounds, and in Europe it costs 599 euros. The phone is available through Nokia's own website.
Its excellent camera puts the Nokia 8.3 alongside several competitively priced desirable smartphone successes like the Pixel 4a (or more importantly, the forthcoming Pixel 4a 5G), while the long battery life and clean software makes it easy to live with now and in the future, something increased further with the inclusion of 5G. This is what we expect from Nokia: A long-lasting smartphone with a great camera, that isn't ostentatious in its design, but instead emphasizes value, build, and overall everyday usability.
The midrange smartphone market is one of the most varied and competitive, so there are plenty of alternatives to consider. The $599 LG Velvet is more attractive, but the camera is inconsistent, while the $500 Motorola Edge looks great, too, but the software won't be updated for nearly as long as the 8.3. The OnePlus Nord is an option for anyone in the U.K., where it costs as little as 379 pounds, and delivers much of what makes the Nokia 8.3 successful, including the great screen and performance.
The better alternatives are the $349 Google Pixel 4a, which has all the same upsides as the Nokia 8.3 at a lower price, only missing out on 5G — though the larger Pixel 4a 5G, which is set to be announced on September 30, will fix that. Or, spend $699 for the OnePlus 8 with its prettier design, good software, 5G, and higher-performance processor.
It's going to last you 3 years or more, depending on your demands. The software updates are crucial to the longevity, as is the wide 5G support. The phone is not water resistant or rugged though, so you'll have to be careful with it. This is unfortunate, as LG manages to add both IP68 and military grade toughness to the Velvet for a similar price.
Should you buy one?
Yes. Competition is strong, but if a solid camera, good software, and minimalist hardware are more important to you than a high refresh rate screen, the Nokia 8.3 is a great buy.

Q: Launching IE using system() causes hang for first time I have used system() to launch IE in my C++ code on a button click. The IE gets launched but a cmd window gets opened too and it gets hanged. I close the cmd window and then it works smoothly. Why is there an initial hang when i first launch the IE?

A: The cause is that the system() opens a console and calls the command from there. The console only closes when the Internet Explorer closes.
Either use CreateProcess or you can work-around it with system() as well by using the START command:
system("start \"Internet Explorer\" \"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\" www.google.com");

A: This code will launch IE using CreateProcess.
However, you may want to use ShellExecute (ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "www.google.com", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWDEFAULT);) which will use the users default browser.
const char *pathToExplorer = "C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe";
const char *webPage = "www.google.com";

char szCmdLine[1024];
sprintf(szCmdLine, "\"%s\" \"%s\"", pathToExplorer, webPage);

is more in the afternoon, since I try to keep a little routine and by the time I get home from my walk and get small things done, I am ready to crochet.
After I log off, will go back to what I was crocheting before.
When I retired (2 1/2 years ago) I thought I'd be crocheting all the time but that didn't happen. The first year I got involved in our local senior center, then my husband's health got worse, requiring me to become his care giver. The best time for me to crochet is late at night and sometimes into the wee morning hours, if I'm really enjoying it.
I also am retired and we travel in our RV. So I crochet whenever we are moving. But when we are stopped I crochet ever minute I can. Always about an hour in the morning with my coffee then after dinner, all evening.
busy during the day and can not sit long enough to get anything done.
Jeepngirl. Where are you at "in your rv"? We have came down to Arizona to get out of the rain in Oregon.
I can pretty much crochet all day, the room where I work gets the south sun, so it's pretty bright all day. I do like to be alone when I crochet so as soon as my GD gets up I'm pretty much done until she leaves the house. Unfortunately my mom is in the hospital so crocheting time has been limited over the last week.
I crochet during my lunch hour at work and on weekend between loads of laundry. This year football season has been good for me. My husband watches and yells at the TV and I crochet. Some times he discusses the game with me I look up and agree about whatever he just said.
lol - thats perfect! i don't get a lot of time to crochet anymore - got a muchkin keeping me hopping and kitties that just can't resist a nice bit of yarn. I get a little in here and there.
I usually crochet (or, lately, cross stitch) in the evening, but I only sew and quilt during the day. Is that odd?
I get energetic in the evenings and at night, so that's when I do most of my crocheting. The exception is when I'm using any amount of black, brown or dark blue ~ then I always try to get my work done in natural light because it is so much easier to see the sts clearly. If I really must use the dark colors at night, I use my Ott light, but I still prefer daylight.
I crochet in the evenings while I watch TV. Very relaxing at that time of night.
Any time I can! I teach a crochet class every Monday morning, but usually don't get much actual sit-down-and-crochet time then, so I crochet every time I'm in the passenger seat in our van, and every moment I can at home! I always have several projects going at one time, so I work on what I'm in the mood for at the moment!
Good question! I usually have one crochet session (lasting about 1 hour) in the late morning or early afternoon. Then, at night, I crochet for about an hour or so. Also, if I have trouble falling asleep, I'll crochet. This is just my general schedule; sometimes I crochet more and sometimes less.
I am a stay at home wife so I have all day to do my crochet work. I usually only do it a couple hours cause I have other stuff to do but I don't have a certain time.
Pretty much any time, though mostly in the evenings. I even take a project with me to work and crochet on my breaks and lunch.
Jeepngirl, I'm right by you in Fulton. If your into jam sessions you should stop by are park. It starts at 1:30 Fulton Oaks. I'll be there crocheting. If you come be sure and come introduce yourself. Were retired and were winter Texans.
I'm retired, but don't usually start my crocheting until evening. I crochet while I watch tv. I usually quit about midnight unless I'm working on something I can't seem to stop.
I like to crochet for an hour or so with my leisurely morning cup of tea (which may be nearly lunch time for most of you). I get home from work around 11:30 pm, so I get a bite to eat and then, if I'm really into a project, from midnight to around 2 or 3 am. On my days off, again if I'm really into a project, I will crochet some or a lot during the day, depending of what other boring stuff has to be done, and then give the whole evening to it, starting around 6:30 or 7 when the birds in the living room go to sleep and I exile myself to the bedroom. They have me well trained! I usually listen to audiobooks while I crochet.

Although a part time officer and nearly 50 years of age, Monash was given command of an infantry brigade (4th) that went to Egypt early in 1915 under ANZAC, a combination of Australian and New Zealand forces. The time the brigade spent in Egypt, was not wasted, but spent in training to Monash's rigid ideas. He was sent to Gallipoli where he served with dedication to the very best planning possible under difficult circumstances.
In 1916 he was given command of a division (3rd) which went on to greatly influence the outcome of the major events at Messine and Passchendaele. During this period of his service it was found that he personally communicated exceptionally well with other senior commanders such as Plumer and Haig. Many of his successes were attributed to his ability to communicate effectively at all levels of command.
In 1918 he succeeded Birdwood as Australian Corps commander, at this time there was political rumbling because he was not considered a professional soldier but undeterred he continued with his usual meticulous planning. He was committed to utilising any equipment which might prevent unnecessary waste of lives, such as tanks and sought improved ways to use machine-guns and smoke screens. Tank warfare in conjunction with infantry was changed by Monash and used with great success in 1918 at the Battle of Hamel, these methods were later used through out the Allied armies.
At the end of the war Monash took the post of Director General of Repatriation and Demobilisation for Australia which was based in London and he did not return to Australia until late in 1919. A number of honours were bestowed on him by the countries of Belgium, France and Britain.

The victim was raped on the floor of her townhome after being awoken to Agee standing inside her apartment and armed with a knife, according to investigators.
"Imagine for a moment a horror scene from a movie. Imagine for a moment everyone's worst nightmare. An adult woman who falls asleep in her living room while watching TV wakes up to a man standing inside her apartment armed with a weapon. This wasn't a movie. It was Sunday night, minutes before midnight,"

GRAND THEFT AUTO – Agee was caught after a chase when he wrecked the stolen car
STOLEN AUTO RECOVERY: 2200 block of Castle Rock Square, 3/1/21, 4:34 p.m. Reston District Neighborhood Patrol Units located a stolen 2012 Ford Fusion in a neighborhood and attempted to stop the car, but the driver refused, drove a short distance and crashed into an unoccupied car. The driver, Anthony Agee, 21, of Reston, was located by a police K9 and taken into custody. He was charged with grand larceny auto theft, reckless driving, false identity to law enforcement and hit and run.
ABC7 NEWS provided this update on August 23, 2022:
Police said the victim was taken to an area hospital and treated for her injuries. The victim's cell phone was taken by the alleged suspect and found discarded in the woods a distance away from the apartment.
Police were made aware of a previous case on June 9. In that incident, video footage provided by a community member caught a predator passing through at various times during the night, police said. In the same case, an alert community member also saw a handprint on a sliding glass door.
On Monday, police placed an emergency rush on getting the print analyzed by a forensics team, and hours later, "got a hit", according to O'Carroll.
Arrest warrants for Agee were secured by police for peeping and indecent exposure Monday at 4:15 p.m. —18 hours after the attack. Agee was placed in handcuffs, police said.
Agee has a lengthy criminal history in Fairfax County, according to the county's general district court. At the time of Sunday's rape, Agee was on bond awaiting trial on an indecent exposure charge.
7News obtained a copy of his prior charges on Tuesday, which includes:
Entering a structure to commit assault and battery
Pointing/brandishing a firearm
Grand larceny: Auto theft
Use of a firearm in a felony
Falsely identifying oneself to law enforcement
A number of driving-related infractions
Chief Davis was asked about Agee's prior record during the press conference Tuesday.
"As we look back at him and his criminal history, and the opportunities that the criminal justice system may have had to interrupt his criminal behavior, that's always something that should give us pause to contemplate being better as a criminal justice system," Davis said. "It should be an absolute aberration for any of us to stand up here and describe a repeat violent offender. You shouldn't be a repeat violent offender because your criminal behaviors should be interrupted by incarceration."

Q: Create multiple folders and sub-folders I have been using this script to make folders using a text file. How do I add subfolders?
for /f "tokens=* delims=," %d in (Panels.txt) do md %d

Currently, the script makes folders Panel-A; Panel-B etc to Panel-Z.
I need sub-folders undel each Panel-* folder called:

*

*2014_Products

*2013_Products

The new folder structure would be:

*

*Panel-A\2014_Products

*Panel-A\2013_Products

*Panel-B\2014_Products

*Panel-B\2013_Products

*.

*.

*Panel-Z\2014_Products

*Panel-Z\2013_Products

How do I add the sub-folders?

A: You could use PowerShell for this. I haven't tested the below method yet, but it should work.

*

*Create a CSV file in the root of the folder you want to start with.

*

*Best to use Excel, or another spreadsheet editor, and "Save As" comma-delimited CSV.

*Name the file FolderNames.csv

*Make two columns, with the headers Name and Type

*Put the name of each Panel folder in the Name column, with Folder in the Type column.

*Put the name of each Products folder (only once each, not for every Panel/Products combination) in the Name column, with Subfolder in the Type column.

*Open a new PowerShell console.

*Navigate to the folder containing FolderNames.csv

*Run the following command:

$Folders=Import-Csv FolderNames.csv;$Folders|?{$_.Type-eq'Folder'}|%{$ParentName=$_.Name;New-Item "$ParentName" -ItemType Directory;$Folders|?{$_.Type-eq'Subfolder'}|%{$ChildName=$_.Name;New-Item "$ParentName\$ChildName" -ItemType Directory}}

The command above is really a script condensed into a (somewhat lengthy) one-liner. Here's an expanded, and commented, version:
# Import FoldersNames.csv into a variable called $Folders
# This will create an array of objects which have the Name and Type properties as defined in the CSV.

$Folders=Import-Csv FolderNames.csv;

# Filter $Folders down to just objects with a Type value of 'Folder'.
# ? is a built-in alias for Where-Object.

$Folders|?{$_.Type-eq'Folder'}|

# Send the filtered objects into a ForEach-Object loop.
# % is a built-in alias for ForEach-Object.
%{
    # Store the current object's Name in $ParentName.

    $ParentName=$_.Name;

    # Create a new directory named $ParentName.

    New-Item "$ParentName" -ItemType Directory;

    # Filter $Folders down to just objects with a Type value of 'Subfolder'.

    $Folders|?{$_.Type-eq'Subfolder'}|

    # Send the filtered objects into a ForEach-Object loop.
    %{
        # Store the current object's Name in $ChildName.

        $ChildName=$_.Name;

        # Create a new subfolder in $ParentName called $ChildName.

        New-Item "$ParentName\$ChildName" -ItemType Directory
    }
}

Note that this solution isn't very scalable as-is. If you need to make deeper layers of subfolders, or put different subfolders in certain folders depending on their name, it won't really be simple to adapt this script to your needs. However, it should serve the purpose as outlined in your question.

The 19 most visited museums in Asia
As attractions begin to reopen, we highlight the most popular museums in the region
The museum sector is booming in Asia, with many new cultural institutions opening in the last few years. Museums in the region are also increasing their global market share when we look at the rankings of the worlds most-visited museums. In fact, five Asian venues made our list of the world's 20 most visited museums in 2020. Now, as more attractions begin to reopen in 2021, we take a look at the most visited museums in Asia.
