Was Texas's Online Harassment Law Unconstitutional?
The Court of Appeals in the Second Appellate District of Texas recently heard a case regarding the constitutionality of the state's online harassment law. The appellant argued that the definition of the offense was vague and the information presented in his case should have been quashed. The Court of Appeals agreed with the appellant, finding that the Texas statute under review was "facially unconstitutional," reversed the decision, and ordered the trial court to dismiss the case.
Background of the Case
In 2013, Mr. B was charged with nine counts of harassment because he sent specific texts and emails to his wife. He tried to have the information quashed, arguing that Texas Penal Code § 42.07(a)(7) was unconstitutional. The trial court denied his motion. He then filed for a writ of habeas corpus, which the trial court also rejected.
Challenging the Trial Court's Decision
After the trial court denied his motion and application, Mr. B filed an appeal. Again, he stated that Texas's statute regarding online harassment did not provide a clear definition of unlawful behavior.
At the time Mr. B was charged with the offense, Texas Penal Code § 42.07(a)(7) was worded as follows:
"A person commits an offense if, with intent to harass, annoy, alarm, abuse, torment, or embarrass another, he:
Sends repeated electronic communications in a manner reasonably likely to harass, annoy, alarm, abuse, torment, embarrass, or offend another."
Specifically, Mr. B stated that the statute was "vague and overbroad" because the terms "annoy" and "alarm" can mean different things to different people. Because the conduct is open to interpretation (namely the complainant's), there is no clear standard of the prohibited behavior.
Mr. B also stated that the statute was unconstitutional, as it barred a person from expressing their true feelings to their spouse because they might consider such communication "annoying," and, therefore, a violation of state law.
Understanding the First Amendment
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states that the government cannot make a law banning a person's freedom of speech.
Citing Scott v. State, the Court of Appeals recognized that free speech includes communicating and receiving:
Opinions, and
The Court also noted that, although the constitution prevents states from enacting laws that violate this right, they can develop lawful statutes regarding communication that is intolerable to someone else and substantially infringes on their right to privacy.
To come to a decision regarding Mr. B's arguments, the Court of Appeals had to determine whether or not a substantial amount of "constitutionally protected conduct" was prohibited by Texas Penal Code § 42.07(a)(7). It reviewed past cases concerning this statute, one of which being Wilson v. State. The Court agreed that when a person communicates with someone else, intending to harass, annoy, or alarm them, they could also be legitimately sharing ideas, opinions, or information with that person.
After its review of past cases, the Court of Appeals determined that Texas Penal Code § 42.07(a)(7) impacted issues of freedom of speech.
Determining if the Texas Law Was Vague and Overbroad
The Court of Appeals cited May v. State to discuss the constitutionality of a law.
In May, a statute violates the constitution if it:
Allows arbitrary and discriminant enforcement,
Does not provide fair warning, and
Prevents people from exercising their First Amendment rights
When laws are developed, it's important to ensure they are specific enough that individuals know what type of conduct is prohibited so they do not pass the boundaries. In State v. Doyal, the court stated that criminal statutes must be clear enough that people know what is unlawful. This is especially true in cases where First Amendment rights might be affected.
Additionally, under Long v. State, a law is considered overbroad if a substantial amount of the conduct defined in it is protected by the Constitution.
In reference to Texas Penal Code § 42.07(a)(7), the terms "harass, annoy, alarm, abuse, torment, or embarrass" did not have a clear and objective standard of measurement. For example, if a person sends a message to others, some might interpret it as innocuous, while others might see it as offensive. The unlawful conduct as defined by the statute was also deemed unconstitutional numerous times in the past. Even after legislators updated the law in 2001, it included the same terms and did not overcome the vagueness of previous versions.
Finding that the version of Texas Penal Code § 42.07(a)(7) under which Mr. B was charged included vague definitions of prohibited conduct, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's decision to deny Mr. B's application for a writ of habeas corpus. It also sent the case back to the trial court to dismiss the prosecution.

Two new teaching blocks are being being built which will provide extra areas for teaching, along with staff rooms and break out areas at the Sybil Andrews Academy, on the town's Moreton Hall Estate.
It's being created by Barnes Construction who orginally built the school back in 2016 who have been carrying out a programme of enabling works in preparation for the main work to start.
This has included creating new hard play areas, along with alterations to paths and paving.
They have now moved on to start construction of the first of two new teaching blocks.
The scheme also incorporates an expansion to the previously completed external sports facilities to include an extra multi-use games area.
Concertus Design & Property Consultants is project managing the build on behalf of Suffolk County Council as well as providing a design service which includes architecture, interior and landscape, structural engineering and building services.
Project chiefs, local councillors and students and staff all visited the site to mark construction starting in earnest with the excavation of the foundations being carried out.
Gordon Jones, Cabinet Member for Children's Services, Education and Skills, said: "The new development will support the continued development of Sybil Andrews by providing a range of additional accommodation.
"This includes specialist teaching spaces, classrooms, larger staff room, an additional food service facility plus external areas.
Trenica King, headteacher at Sybil Andrews Academy, added: "This is another exciting milestone for our school.
"The new education block will further develop our specialist teaching rooms and provide more space for our new Year 7 students arriving in this September.
Work is now underway to erect the steel frame on the first block which will be complete for September this year.

Stream It Or Skip It
Stream It Or Skip It: 'Double Dare,' Your Favorite Sloppy Game Show From The '80s, Is Back On Nickelodeon
By Joel Keller Twitter @joelkeller Jun 26, 2018 at 5:30pm
Photo: Nick
Where to Stream:
Calling all millennials! Your favorite game show from the '80s and early '90s, Double Dare, is back! So if you want to show your kids the kind of silly TV you used to watch as a kid, you have your chance. But is the new version as good as the one you remember?
DOUBLE DARE: STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?
Opening Shot: We immediately are brought into the opening round toss-up challenge, where two teams of two have to get into a giant pair of pants, a big shirt, grab big foam hands and put toys away. A familiar voice says the winning team "Gets fifty dollars and control of the craziest game on TV… It's Double Dare!"
The Gist: The two teams — in the premiere, The Juicy Pineapples are a twin brother and sister and The Cavities are two brothers — answer trivia questions, some multiple choice, some open-ended. If the team can't answer the question, they "Dare" the other team to, for double the money. If the other team can't answer, they "Double Dare" the first team for four times the money. Then the original team has to decide to answer or take a physical challenge. If they complete the challenge, they get the money and control. If not, the other team gets money and control.
Some of the physical challenges in the first two episodes — the second one had a team of best friends called The Mad Dogs vs. a team of cousins called Line Drive 25 — include filling diapers with water and trying to squeeze them into a cylinder on a toilet chair, squirting ink at a "pen" the other teammate wears around her neck, tossing stuffed kittens at the teammate, who's wearing a ball of yarn, to see how many stick, and more. The team with the most money after two rounds get to through an course of eight messy obstacles, like a big nose that spews slime, a giant pizza slice, a soapy wringer, a teeter totter full of cheese, and more. For each flag grabbed, a small prize is won. If all eight are completed, the team wins a big prize (a week at space camp!).
Our Take: Well, it's Double Dare. If you liked the original version, which ran on Nick from 1986-93, then you're too old to watch the new version. But if you sit down with your kids to watch it, then there will be plenty to trigger the nostalgia neurons in your brain. The set is updated with more video screens and a less pastel-y color scheme, but the essence will remind you of the '80s version. The trivia questions are, of course, more about current culture (or testing the kids about the culture their parents knew by heart… like which cartoon character said "What's Up Doc?") but they're just as silly. And the physical challenges are more or less what you'd expect. The obstacle course has some classics, like "Pick-It" and others, but also some new messy stuff.
The big difference is the host: Liza Koshy takes over the podium from Marc Summers, which makes sense, since Koshy is a 22-year-old YouTube superstar and Summers is old enough to be the contestants' grandfather. Summers, however, keeps the link to the past version by appearing on stage as the announcer and Koshy's sidekick, still wearing the odd blazers (the one he wore in the premiere had racing stripes down the side) and Reeboks.
Summers is the show's executive producer, and he's generous enough to give Koshy both an EP credit and the room to make the show her own. He's there to make dad jokes, take Koshy's light ribbing about his age, and announce the prizes. But the show belongs to Koshy, who ad libs well and makes the kids feel at ease, considering they have to swim through slime with lights and cameras on them. Anyone who watched her YouTube channel knew she was capable of it, but to those not familiar with her, she's a revelation.
What Age Group Is This For?: Pretty much any age, but some of the questions might go above younger kids' heads. If you want your kids to play along, then we're thinking 8 and above is the sweet spot.
Funniest Gag: Koshy does "The Carlton" with one of the teams during the second episode… and pulls it off pretty well, considering The Fresh Prince has only been in reruns her whole life.
Our Call: Stream It. Koshy is fun, Summers does just enough to keep the link to the '80s without seeming creepy, and the show is just as messy as you remembered.
Joel Keller (@joelkeller) writes about food, entertainment, parenting and tech, but he doesn't kid himself: he's a TV junkie. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, Slate, Salon, VanityFair.com, Playboy.com, Fast Company's Co.Create and elsewhere.

Q: TeamCity Rest API call with CORS disabled - axios get request I'm trying to return data from our TeamCity server to my React web app using an axios get request. Unfortunately I am not able to enable CORS on the server and always end up with a 401: Unauthorized, or with 'Response for preflight is invalid (redirect)' error.
I have tried to pass the username and password in the headers:
componentDidMount() {
var config = {
    "headers": {
    "username": "username",
    "password": "password"
  }
}
// Make axios  http request to TeamCity server with authentication headers
axios.get('http://teamcity/app/rest', config)
 .then(res => res.json())
  .then(res => {
    // Transform the raw data by extracting the nested posts
    const projects = res.data.projects;

    // Update state to trigger a re-render.
    // Clear any errors, and turn off the loading indicator.
    this.setState({
      projects,
      loading: false,
      error: null
    });
  })
  .catch(err => {
    // Something went wrong. Save the error in state and re-render.
    this.setState({
      loading: false,
      error: err
    });
  });
 }

I have tried passing the username and password in the url as per this  post:
How to pass username and password in TeamCity REST API
http://user:pass@server/app/rest/

I have also tried passing the Basic authentication headers from working postman requests.
The request always returns 'XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://teamcity/app/rest. Response for preflight is invalid (redirect)'
I am on the same network as the TeamCity server. Is this possible without enabling CORS?

A: You have to enable CORS. Otherwise (even if TeamCity responded with some data) it would be impossible to get access to the response in the browser.
Once you've provided correct origin into the rest.cors.origins internal property, e.g.
rest.cors.origins=http://myinternalwebpage.org.com:8080,https://myinternalwebpage.org.com

you should also enable preflight OPTIONS request support by adding following internal property:
rest.cors.optionsRequest.allowUnauthorized=true

And restart the server.
The docs also suggest to use /app/rest/latest, not /app/rest, and avoid httpAuth prefix.
After that everything should work just fine, e.g.
fetch('http://teamcity:8111/bs/app/rest/latest/builds?count=1',
{
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Basic '+btoa('user:pass'),
    'Accept': 'application/json'
  }
})
.then(r => r.json())
.then(r => console.log(r))

Q: Implementing factory pattern with abstract base class in python - Abstract class is not callable I'm trying to implement a factory pattern whereby I can retrieve an instantiate a various similar classes based on input. If I have code something like this:
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

class AbstractTranscoder(ABC):

    @abstractmethod
    def transcode():
        raise NotImplementedError

class Transcoder1(AbstractTranscoder):

    def transcode():
        ...

class TranscoderFactory:

    TRANSCODERS = {'transcoder1': Transcoder1}

    def get_transcoder(name: str) -> AbstractTranscoder:
        return TRANSCODERS[name]

My goal is to be able to then use the factory pattern to retrieve the class as follows:
transcoder_class = TranscoderFactory().get_transcoder('transcoder1')
transcoder_object = transcoder_class()

I think this will work, but the issue is because I'm using Type Annotations, the IDE yells at me 'AbstractTranscoder object is not callable'. Is there a preferable way to implement this such that the IDE does not think I am trying to instantiate an Abstract class, but rather one of its concrete subclasses?
Thanks.

Court rulings, licence conversion, and the future of electronic communications in South Africa
Lisa Thornton, Lisa Thornton Inc (lat@thornton.co.za)
The passage of the Electronic Communications Act (EC Act) in 2005 seemed to pave the way for South Africa to join the ever growing group of nations embracing competition to ensure universal service. Traveling down that road has, however, taken far longer than anyone could have expected.
The EC Act came into force on 19 July 2006, many months after its promulgation.
As it was to substantially alter the market structure for electronic communications services - the first order of business for Icasa was the conversion of existing licences. Icasa launched that process in October 2006. It has moved forward inconsistently, with some issues still outstanding or decided in secrecy, and some still the subject of pending proceedings. The process, however, be complete by January 2009 (a little over a month from now) as mandated by EC Act.
This article is included in a series that began in September 2006 with a summary of the market structure, licensing and licence conversion provisions. An update on the licence conversion process was published in April 2006. Since then, the High Court of South Africa has issued judgment regarding the conversion of value added network services licences (Vans), and in the applications for leave to appeal and for an interdict by the Minister of Communications (Minister), causing the conversion process to reach the eleventh hour.
In this article, we discuss the implications of the recent court decision and provide some thoughts on the remaining month of the licence conversion process, as well as suggest regulatory priorities for 2009.
In August 2008, the High Court of South Africa handed down judgement in the matter of Altech Autopage Cellular (Pty) Ltd v the Chairperson of the Council of the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa and Others (Case No 20002/08) ruling that Vans licensees could self provide their own network facilities and therefore were entitled to individual electronic communications network services (iECNS) licences in the licence conversion process. The judge ordered the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) to implement the judgment.
Soon thereafter Icasa issued a press release stating that it would abide by the court's ruling and would not seek leave to appeal. However, on the last day possible, the Minister applied for leave to appeal the judgment. A couple of days later, the Minister also requested the court to interdict Icasa from converting Vans licences to iECNS licences.
On 31 October 2008, judgment in the application for leave to appeal was handed down. In the appeal, the Minister was forced to argue that she was not attempting to have an impact on the licence conversion process at all, but rather only directing policy to Icasa for new licence applications. Thus, even it the appeal had been granted, Vans licensees would still have been entitled to iECNS licences in the licence conversion process. In the event, the court refused all grounds for appeal with costs awarded against the Minister.
Soon thereafter, the court refused the request for an interdict against Icasa issuing ENCS licenses to Vans licensees, paving the way for Icasa to complete the licence conversion processs.
Although the Minister had the option to ask the Supreme Court of Appeal to grant leave to appeal notwithstanding the ruling below, the Minister issued a press release on 21 November 2008 stating that she would not further seek leave to appeal.
Licence Conversion
Vans to ECNS
In the meantime, Icasa had issued on 14 November 2008 a notice of intention to make regulations for the conversion of Vans licences to ECNS licences, and in the same notice calling for all Vans licensees to submit to it certain information, including detailed business plans, by 5 December 2008. This notice has created some confusion, which unfortunately could lead to further litigation down the line.
In the notice, Icasa also indicated, quite rightly as a matter of law, that it will convert all licences even those awarded after the coming into force of the EC Act.
The licence conversion process
It bears repeating that the licence conversion process must be complete by 19 January 2009 to avert missing a statutory imposed deadline.
In the remaining time, Icasa will have to convert all existing licences, both telecommunications and broadcasting, both service and spectrum, to those appropriate categories set out in the EC Act. With some existing categories of licences, for example, paging and SNG licences, it is still not clear what they will get in the licence conversion process.
Standard clauses for class licences have been issued as regulations. Therefore, there should be no obstacle to issuing class licences in the licence conversion process. However, although standard clauses for individual licences have been issued, individual clauses relating to both universal service obligations and pro-competitive licence conditions still have to be made. These individual licence conditions might have to wait until after the 19 January 2009 deadline, as the regulations regarding the imposition of pro-competitive licence conditions have not been finished. No proposals concerning universal service obligations have been made public by Icasa.
Some licences, such as private telecommunication network (PTN) service licences will be issued licence exemptions. Some PTNs selling excess capacity might, however, request ECS, ECNS or both licences. These issues have not been finalised.
In addition to the licence conversion process, several other regulations are critical to the success of newly converted licences. These include regulations regarding licence fees, interconnection, carrier pre-selection, numbers and number portability, and rights of way.
Icasa published draft licence fees for public comment on 22 September 2008. After the closing date, it withdrew that notice, indicating that it would not consider any written comment in that proceeding, and issued new draft licence fees on 24 October 2008. The closing date for comment on the new draft is 5 December 2008.
The draft calls for administrative fees, which are actually application fees, including for requests to provide exempt services, and licence fees, being a percentage of adjusted gross revenue, for iECNS and iECS licences, 3%, for iBS, 2%, and for class ECNS and ECS, 1.5%. No licence fees are proposed for class BS.
Interconnection and Facilities Leasing
Although draft interconnection and facilities leasing regulations have been pending since before the EC Act came into force, with a new proposal published for public comment after the EC Act came into force, there still are no regulations relating the negotiation of interconnection and facilities leasing agreements, or with regard to pricing or technical matters.
Carrier Pre-selection
Icasa recently issued draft regulations for carrier pre-selection with a comment due date of 9 January 2009.
Numbering / Number Portability / Rights of Way
Although the issues of numbering, number portability and rights of way are crucial for a competitive electronic communications sector, there are no draft regulations on the table regarding these matters.
The outcome of the Altech matter has brought much needed impetus to the industry. In order for South Africa to capitalize on it, Icasa must ensure, in a very short time, that it does not fail to meet Parliament's deadline of 19 January 2008 to convert all licences in line with the EC Act.
The momentum should also not be lost after the licence conversion process. Icasa's priorities should include, within the next three to six months, completing regulations relating to:
Numbering and number portability
In addition, the issues of pro-competitive licence conditions and universal service obligations should not be unduly delayed.
Icasa has had several years to lay the groundwork for the licence conversion process and the adoption of key regulations. It must now use its momentum to complete many of these issues if the newly competitive industry is to move forward under effective regulation.

Q: BrowserModule has already been loaded This is my code:
 import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
    import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';
    import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
    import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
    import { LanguageTranslationModule } from './shared/modules/language-translation/language-translation.module'

    import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
    import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
    import { AuthGuard } from './shared';

    import { SidebarComponent } from './layout/components/sidebar/sidebar.component';
    import { HeaderComponent } from './layout/components/header/header.component';

    @NgModule({
        imports: [
            CommonModule,
            BrowserAnimationsModule,
            HttpClientModule,
            LanguageTranslationModule,
            AppRoutingModule

        ],
        declarations: [AppComponent,HeaderComponent,SidebarComponent],
        providers: [AuthGuard],
        bootstrap: [AppComponent],
        exports: [
            HeaderComponent,
            SidebarComponent
      ],

    })
    export class AppModule {}

I don't why I obtain this excepion:

Error: BrowserModule has already been loaded. If you need access to
  common directives such as NgIf and NgFor from a lazy loaded module,
  import CommonModule instead. Error: BrowserModule has already been
  loaded. If you need access to common directives such as NgIf and NgFor
  from a lazy loaded module, import

In the future module I import CommonModule and not BrowerModule. Anyone can help me?

A:
Import BrowserAnimationsModule in AppModule only because BrowserAnimationsModule by default import BrowserModule, No Need to define BrowserModule in app.module.ts and then import CommonModule in your child / featured module.

 @NgModule({
imports:      [
                BrowserAnimationsModule
                ]
})
export class ParentModule {}

Featured / Child Module

    @NgModule({
           imports:      [ CommonModule ]
     })
export class FeaturedModule {}

Hope, this solves your problem

A: Replace CommonModule with BrowserModule in your AppModule.
import { BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { LanguageTranslationModule } from './shared/modules/language-translation/language-translation.module'

import { SidebarComponent } from './layout/components/sidebar/sidebar.component';
import { HeaderComponent } from './layout/components/header/header.component';

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        BrowserAnimationsModule,
        HttpClientModule,
        LanguageTranslationModule,

    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent,HeaderComponent,SidebarComponent],
    providers: [AuthGuard],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent],
    exports: [
        HeaderComponent,
        SidebarComponent
  ],

})
export class AppModule {}

A: Import BrowserAnimationsModule and HttpModule only once (either in your root module or a core module).
import these mentioned modules only once(in app-module only):
BrowserModule, BrowserAnimationsModule, LazyLoadImageModule (if using it), CarouselModule (if using it), InfiniteScrollModule (if using it), HttpModule ( if using it)

Rape, trafficking case nears completion
2019-05-28 Maria Amakali
WINDHOEK - The trial of a woman, who is facing multiple charges of rape and human trafficking in Windhoek High Court, is nearing its finalisation with submissions before judgment set for next month.
Legal Aid-funded defence lawyer, Milton Engelbrecht, and state advocate, Felistas Shikerete-Vendura, are expected to submit before presiding High Court Judge Naomi Shivute yesterday. However, the matter could not proceed because Shikerete-Vendura was not available. Consequently, the matter was set down for June 11.
The suspect, Tuufilwa Ndawina Jonas, 34, has been on trial on three counts of trafficking in persons, four counts of rape and one count of attempted rape.
The charges emanate from her alleged involvement in a scam that landed a schoolgirl from northern Namibia on Okahandja district farms, where she was forced into becoming a sexual partner to two men.
The 15-year-old girl was allegedly lured from Okahenge village in the Omusati Region in 2017 with false empty promises of employment. As a result, the minor dropped out of school. The girl allegedly fell pregnant as a result of the alleged sexual exploitation during her stay at the farm in the Okahandja area.
Jonas, a resident of Okahandja, denied any wrongdoing when she took a no-guilty plea at the start of her trial in April. In her defence, Jonas informed the court that the version of the state is wrong.
Jonas denied telling the complainant to leave school and move in with her on a farm in the Okahandja area. She further denied informing the complainant that she will find her a job at the farm. Jonas was allegedly staying with her boyfriend at the time.
Jonas also dismissed the complainant's evidence that upon her arrival at the farm, she forced the girl to move in with a certain John Puariune and have sex with him on several occasions against her will, as payment for the N$200 fee for the transport from northern Namibia. Furthermore, she allegedly never controlled any of her movements.
Jonas admitted to have met the complainant at Okahenge village while she was visiting.

The Luxembourg population is characterised on the one hand by a strong population growth, owing essentially to a positive entering migratory balance and on the other hand, by numerous foreigners among the residents.
The number of inhabitants in Luxembourg amounted to 314,900 people in 1961 with a proportion of 13.2% of foreigners. The country reached a population of 613,894 on 1 January 2019. The proportion of foreigners is at that date 47,5%, generally younger than Luxembourgers. The average age of men is 38.7 and 40.2 for women.
The studies of STATEC, the National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, even predicts in its late 2017 studies a population overtaking 1 million people in 2060!
Very much appreciated by expatriates who come there to find career opportunities and an excellent quality of life, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is one of the countries recognised as the safest ones in the world.
Luxembourg is one of the smallest European countries.
Characterized by a high standard of living and increasing life expectancy, due to a significant social and family policy and a dynamic emplyment market with high incomes.
The standard of living in Luxembourg is relatively high compared to other European countries in particular, and more particularly to neighboring countries. High wages, significant social benefits, the Grand Duchy attracts a population looking for a job, security and a good quality of life.
Certain budget headings such as accommodation can reach price levels comparable to those in London and Paris in certain districts, the remunerations are undoubtedly superior in Luxembourg than the European average, and more particularly than the other areas of the Greater Region.
One of the major characteristics of the Luxembourg population is the strong proportion of foreigners, since 170 different nationalities coexist in Luxembourg, of which 86% are European.
The Dutch community (4,207 inhabitants).
The communities of the Baltic and Scandinavian countries represent about 10,000 people in Luxembourg.
The Asian people represent nearly 14,449 people in Luxembourg, the African 10,013 people, the Americans 6,459 including 2,730 north-american people, Australian, and Oceanian 207 people.
To know more about the foreign communities present in Luxembourg, consult the website of Just Arrived Ambassadors Club.
Considering the multiple origins of the inhabitants of Luxembourg, one is struck upon his arrival in the country by the diversity of the languages that are spoken.
French is traditionally taught to the children from the 2nd year of primary school, as an additional language to German. As from 2017/2018, French must be introduced beforehand, even from day nursery, through speaking.
Your children benefit from a language tutoring upon their entrance in the Luxembourg school system, which facilitates their integration.
Want to learn the Luxembourg reference languages? There is a very rich offer of language courses for adults.
According to a study published in 2011 by CEPS, the Luxembourg population is mainly of Christian religion (73%), among which more than 90% of Catholics. About 25% of the population claims no religion. The increasing Muslim religion is represented by 2% of the population, essentially stemming from ex-Yugoslavia.
To know the places of worship for the different religions, click here.
The Luxembourg labor market is a very active market because besides 254,000 Luxembourg resident workers, more than 192,000 border workers cross every day the French, Belgian and German borders in order to work in Luxembourg.
More and more international companies come to settle down in Luxembourg, such as Amazon, Ferrero, BGL BNPParibas, the big international audit firms… and thus attract senior executives.
Besides, the numerous European institutions present in Luxembourg can also explain partially this constant flow of population according to the movements of the EU officials.
The Court of Justice, the Tribunal of First Instance, the General Accounting Office, the European Investment Bank, the Secretarial Office of the European Parliament, and several departments of the European Commission are mainly situated in the district of Kirchberg. The Ecole Européenne I can also be found there.
Nowadays, almost 10,000 international EU officials are settled in Luxembourg and constitute about 5% of the resident working population.
The unemployment rate was of 5.8% of the working population at the end of 2017.

Oct. 5, 2012. DUE WEST, S.C. — Senior Mary Dorn (Shallotte, N.C.) scored the first of three second-half goals on Thursday evening, propelling the Lees-McRae College women's soccer team to a 4-2 victory over Erskine College in Conference Carolinas play.
Lees-McRae (6-3-1, 5-1 CC) outshot Erskine (3-6-1, 3-3 CC) by a 14-6 margin in the match, including an 8-2 advantage in the first half, as the Bobcats took over sole possession of the top spot in the league standings. The Bobcats held a narrow 3-2 edge in corner kicks on the evening while scoring three of their four goals in the second half.
Freshman Sarah Mahar (Jacksonville, Fla.) tallied her third match-winner of the season, tying Sam Arendt (Franklinton, N.C.) for the team lead with her fourth goal of the campaign. Dorn, Emily Jones (Leonardtown, Md.), and Molly Ames (Greensboro, N.C.) each found the back of the net for the Bobcats as well, while Meagan Thornton (Millville, N.J.) and Kaitlyn Kerrigan (Lakewood Ranch, Fla.) both notched an assist. Kaitlyn Briggs (Oviedo, Fla.) made two saves between the pipes for Lees-McRae.
Molly Harpe paced the Flying Fleet with a goal and an assist, as Hayley Rogers added a strike of her own and Emily Brown chipped in a helper. Harpe tallied a team-high three shots; Katie Lyle and Ashton Burgess combined for five saves in the contest.
Jones broke the deadlock in the late stages of the 27th minute, taking a short pass from Thornton off a corner kick and delivering the finish into the far corner to give the Bobcats an early 1-0 advantage. Rogers leveled proceedings in the 39th minute, sending the finish into the top corner following a Harpe pass off a loose ball in the area, knotting the match at 1-1 heading into the interval.
The Bobcats answered less than three minutes into the second half, taking a 2-1 advantage when Dorn tucked the finish inside the far post off a Kerrigan corner for her second goal of the season. Mahar provided the eventual winner midway through the 56th minute, slotting the finish into the bottom corner to give the Bobcats a 3-1 lead.
Harpe would halve the advantage to 3-2 in the late stages of the 74th minute, delivering a superb finish into the upper 90 from the top of the 18-yard box off a pass from Brown. Ames capped the scoring midway through the 77th minute, converting from the penalty spot following an Erskine foul in the area to equal the final margin of 4-2.
Lees-McRae returns to the pitch on Saturday when the Bobcats celebrate Homecoming Weekend with a league matchup against Pfeiffer University on Tate Field at 3 p.m.


I have a bright and summery new recipe to share with you guys today: this Turmeric Ginger Smoothie! It's sweet, creamy, vibrant, and a little spicy, thanks to the zingy ginger and turmeric.
Turmeric has been making its way into everything lately (have you tried golden milk yet?!), and I'm a huge fan. Not only does it bring a gorgeous color to the table, it also boasts tons of health benefits.
Now, let's get back to this smoothie! The combination of turmeric and ginger is amazing. Turmeric is warm and earthy, while ginger is bright and spicy, making this smoothie anything but boring. Mango and pineapple keep things sweet and fresh, while Greek yogurt brings a protein boost and flax has you covered on the healthy fat front. All in all, it's got to be one of my favorite smoothies — packed with good-for-you ingredients, sweet, spicy, and gorgeous!
This Turmeric Ginger Smoothie is sweet, spicy, creamy, and packed with good-for-you ingredients!
Toss all the ingredients into a blender, blend until smooth, and serve! If you have a strong blender, you can just peel hunks of the fresh ginger and turmeric, estimate the amounts, and toss them in. Otherwise, you'll want to chop them up a bit to make sure they get fully incorporated!
If you like this recipe, check out some of my other favorite smoothie recipes below. And don't forget about my mix and match healthy smoothie recipes post, too – it's basically a simple blueprint for building your own satisfying, delicious smoothies!
What's your favorite way to use turmeric? Have you ever used the fresh stuff or do you stick with the powder?
I don't think I've ever had turmeric not in a curry. It's so vibrant isn't it. Loving your videos too Anne!
I found some raw turmeric at the farmers market and have been pretty clueless on how to use it! This smoothie looks like the perfect recipe for me to try it out.
I have never actually tried turmeric, but I know it's supposed to be super good for you. Must give this a try!
Yes, it seems to be one of the hot new things nutritionally!
Yum! This sounds great, I have only used tumeric in savory dishes so far. I love gingery smoothies, I will have to give this a try.
mmmm, the color on this is fantastic! mango + turmeric sounds like a terrific combination.
I know, I love the bright yellow!
I love this! Such great color! I am a big fan of smoothies but I tend to stick to the same (or similar) ingredients in each. Perhaps I should shake things up and try this! Love the photos too!
Definitely – let me know how you like it!
I love turmeric in soup! This smoothie looks delicious, and I also still need to try golden milk!
Yum! I love how creamy this looks! I love adding turmeric to stir fry and other savory dishes but i haven't tried it in a drink/smoothie form yet! Thanks for the idea!
looks delish!! I've had staining issues too haha. What are your thoughts on turmeric supplements for someone who already cooks with turmeric? how much is too much for people?
I'm generally on team real food – I'd just continue eating it and not do a supplement!
I just LOVE the color! I've been adding turmeric to my cauliflower rice!
I bet that makes it really pretty – good idea!
Looks epic! I'm totally going to try this. Any substitution ideas for the pineapple averse?
We're having this and flatbread for dinner tonight – it's just too hot for anything else!
Nice, I hope you enjoyed it!
I made this for breakfast this morning. I was skeptical to try it since I have never used Turmeric. This Smoothie is awesome. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and have been having flare ups. Hoping this will help!! Thanks so much for this recipe!

Q: Getting a value from array map and changing value on my chart. JSFiddle included My JsFiddle with the chart.
How can I specify a specific value in data? For example select the closing value form a certain date.
I'm trying to replace the right red annotation on the chart(127) with a new data value as well as add a string of text after it.
data = data.slice(0, 200).map(function(d) {
    return {
        date: parseDate(d.Date),
        open: +d.Open,
        high: +d.High,
        low: +d.Low,
        close: +d.Close,
        volume: +d.Volume
    };
}).sort(function(a, b) { return d3.ascending(accessor.d(a), accessor.d(b)); });

Also I do not get how both of these annotations have the same .datum value [data[80]], yet have different values on the chart.
svg.append("g")
        .attr("class", "y annotation right")
        .datum([data[80]])
        .call(ohlcRightAnnotation);

svg.append("g")
        .attr("class", "x annotation top")
        .datum([data[80]])
        .call(timeTopAnnotation);

Probably a dumb question but, any help would be awesome.

A: not exactly sure what you're looking to do, work with me here.
data[80] is plotted on your chart.
It has the following values.
date = Fri Feb 13 2015 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Daylight Time)
close = 127.08
open  = 127.28
low   = 125.65
high  = 127.28
volume = 54272219

To access one of the values, use:
data[80].close
try alert(data[80].close); as an example.
To change one of the values, use:
data[80].close = 135.00;
This code controls which annotations appear, based on the .call parameter. So even though it's the same data point, data[80], the call defines which value to be used. For reference, .attr defines the placement.
To test, try changing the date of the top annotation like this...
data[80].date = new Date();  //change to today's date
svg.append("g")
        .attr("class", "x annotation top")
        .datum([data[80]])
        .call(timeTopAnnotation);


Online Extra Wild slot machine was one of the first in Edict (Merkur Gaming) manufacturer's collection, so there is a minimal set of features with a bonus feature and doubling modes. Base bets are placed on the reels field and bring in winnings if a combination of three or more identical symbols is formed in the direction of the lines, it is absolutely unimportant from which side of the field this happened.
As components of the prize combinations of the Extra Wild gaming machine, pictures of jewelry with distinctive cost indicators are used. In addition to the main names, in the list of symbols you can find a bank safe, which replaces other images, activates multipliers and brings individual winnings without taking into account the lines. Considering Extra Wild gambling machine from the point of view of obtaining real profit, participants should take into account the RTP return rate, which determines the income level at a long distance and will prompt a profitable type of strategy.
Multiplier. A distinctive feature of the Extra Wild slot machine can be called the multiplier function, which is connected with the appearance of the joker slot on the screen, which should take part in the winning line. Having satisfied these conditions, the user can count on the random multiplication factor of the prize x2, x3 and x7.
People may not yet live up to the model for millionaires, but perhaps some worthy victories in an online slot-machine like Extra Wild will help us along the way. It was developed by Merkur Gaming and contains a large number of characters that we would like to have.
Extra Wild: a three-row slot with five lines and ten payloads with a fixed line. However, in this game, wins can be generated anywhere in the battery if there are at least three matching characters in the payline. In addition, the victories can be formed from right to left and from left to right. The golden models of the battery are pretty simple in design, sitting on a twisted blue background.
The symbols are all very precious and include gems: blue, blue and red, diamond bag, ruby ring, gold medallion, many gold coins and a gold pocket watch. A gold vault is a wild symbol and replaces all others in a winning combination.
Extra features are a bit thin on Earth in Extra Wild, but there is a wild factor that is more or less appropriate. Each placeholder has a multiplier value that applies to any win in which he participates.
Because victories can come from right to left and even from left to right, wild characters can be part of the victories in both directions. Wild, which appears in the middle of the drum but is not part of the winnings, is rewarded for distribution.
Extra Wild may be played in a casino. Extra Wild might be a bit on the main page, but it sounds pretty good, and there are many wins from the multi-directional paylines. It's definitely worth a try and it comes with RTP 95.79%.

HALIFAX — On a warm, sunny fall day eight people are sliding on the marbled ice of a curling rink for the first time.
The Mayflower Curling Club hosted an open session for anyone who wanted to learn how to curl on Sunday, hoping to attract some new people to the sport.
Ben Winters, 10, was out giving curling a shot for the first time because he wants to be able to play with his grandfather.
"My Papa was a curler and he's 72 now and he's still curling and I wanted to try it out," he said while taking a break.
Winters said it was a lot harder than it looks to even get the basic stance down.
"When you're extending, I find it's really hard to keep my balance and push off because I can only go like a little bit," Winters said.
It's not a stretch to say Canadians have a history of curling. The Canadian men's team has won the World Championships 36 times. The next closest is Sweden with eight.
Something about the sport is embedded deep within the Canadian psyche.

"I think it's a sport you can do forever. You can start in juniors and you can curl — we have people who are 80-years-old that are still curling," said Carolyn Kavanagh, the membership chair of the Mayflower Curling Club.
"The other thing, too, is people have seen it on TV, they think it's very easy to do. Get out and try it, it's not quite so easy."
The Mayflower itself has a long history of producing champions. It's Colleen Jones' home rink, and that of Mary Mattatall, who represented Nova Scotia at the 2017 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
"I think it speaks to Canadian values and the camaraderie and friendship and it's just a really great sport for teamwork and meeting new people and the social aspect, you know, families curl," said Mattatall, who has been curling since she was 18.
"You don't have to be good to have fun. There's the elite side of the game, like any sport … but people can really have fun just playing and people like me are so glad to share the love of the sport and teach people how to curl."
The most common reason to pick up curling is often due to a family connection.
"We have all walks of life, we have all ages," said Kavanagh when asked who normally shows up to these sorts of open events.
"We'll have some juniors that come in and want to try curling, we have people who have retired and want to take up a sport and we have university students and people who move to the city who are curlers and move to the city and want to join a club."
For anyone interested in picking up the sport, the Mayflower will be hosting another open house next Sunday before league play begins on Oct. 6.

Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea vie for the last spot to progress to the Champions League
Rishi Prasad CONTRIBUTOR
Since 1992, the English Premier League (EPL) has been one of the most competitive of all first-division soccer leagues in Europe. The reason for this is not difficult to seek, as the top four clubs from EPL compete for the top spot in the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champions League to be crowned the undisputed kings of European soccer. So far this season, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Tottenham have secured a spot in the top four and will progress to the Champions League next season. But the fourth spot is still up for grabs. With Manchester United currently in fourth place, Arsenal at fifth, and Chelsea close behind, the battle between these close contenders is becoming interesting to watch.
The legendary Jose Mourinho was removed as Manchester United's manager on December 18, 2018, to be replaced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as caretaker until the end of the season. In Solskjaer's first away game, Manchester United won 5–1 at Cardiff. Not only that, since Solskjaer's induction, United have scored 23 goals in nine games and conceded only six goals — a remarkable feat indeed! Standout performers so far have been Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial, not to mention the performance of David de Gea which has been outstanding and nothing short of world class.
However, Alexis Sanchez has failed to fire all cylinders yet again this season, having managed to only net a single goal. With Martial picking up an injury in the game against Paris Saint-Germain, Sanchez could be the only option on the left-wing position and given his current form, that already is a handicap.
After Arsene Wenger's run as Arsenal's manager finally ended, Unai Emery had his work cut out for him. Arsenal have had a chequered run this season with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang being their standout star, followed by Alexandre Lacazette who is finally coming into his own. Lucas Torreira being the complete centre defensive midfielder, Arsenal is still searching for a perfect link between the defence and attack, and Matteo Guendouzi is showing great potential.
However, not all is looking good for Arsenal as their defence has been called into question many times this season with Shkodran Mustafi and Sokratis being error-prone along with the poor forms of their goalkeepers Petr Cech and Bernd Leno. Mesut Ozil has continued to be in poor form and has been intermittently dropped by Emery, which definitely means Ozil will be looking to be replaced this summer.
After Antonio Conte's terrible season which saw Chelsea in fifth place just a year after winning the Premier League by a then-record 93 points, Chelsea started off strong with their new manager Maurizio Sarri, who was the mastermind behind Napoli's recent success in the Serie A. Chelsea started very strong with five wins in their opening five games, including one against Arsenal with standout performer Eden Hazard, arguably the best player in the EPL this year. Hazard, with a picking of 12 goals, doesn't look like he's stopping any time soon. In the beginning, Sarri-ball was looking promising with Jorginho taking up the centre defensive midfielder role, pushing N'Golo Kante to central midfielder. However, teams have started reading Chelsea's tactics by man-marking Jorginho to limit his attacking fluidity.
The striker position has been a problem at Chelsea for some time now with Alvaro Morata and Michy Batshuayi failing to live up to expectations, and Olivier Giroud simply just not in his elements. With their recent 6–0 thrashing by Manchester City, Sarri's future at Chelsea will surely be in question.
With Chelsea in a difficult spot and Arsenal's defence being weak, it pains me to conclude, especially as a Man City fan, that Ole Gunnar's Manchester are probably going to end up squeezing a fourth-place finish. If Anthony Martial's injury against Paris Saint-Germain turns out to be more serious than expected and Alexis Sanchez fails to find his form, United could have an uphill task in making that cut. To conclude, without doubt, the only thing concrete is that the Premier League has yet again lived up to its fans' high expectations of entertainment and has proven that it is one of the most competitive leagues in soccer.

Old Testament Men
Balaam
Balaam, son of Beor, was a prophet from Pethor.[1] Rather than honoring God as a prophet, Balaam worked with Balak, the king of Moab, to curse the Israelites. Balaam is remembered throughout the rest of the Bible as having a false teaching. Balaam is primarily recorded and is introduced in the Pentateuch's Book of Numbers.
1.2 Summoning by Moab
1.3 Riding to Moab
1.4 Prophesying for Balak
1.4.1 The First Prophecy
1.4.2 The Second Prophecy
1.4.3 The Third Prophecy
1.4.4 Prophecies against Nations
1.5 Death
Little is known about Balaam's early life. Balaam was born to a man named Beor in the town of Pethor, near the Euphrates River.[1] At one point he became a prophet of God, and was known well enough where he would soon be summoned by the king of Moab. It was also known that those that Balaam blessed and cursed, received the blessing or curse given.[2]
Summoning by Moab
Balaam is first mentioned when messengers of King Balak of Moab are sent[1] to request him to put a curse on the rapidly approaching Israelite army, because Balaam was known for his successful blessings and curses.[2] The elders of Moab then evacuated the area where the Israelites were edging closer, and set out to discuss with Balaam, bringing with them a payment for Balaam's divination.[3]
Once they arrived Balaam told the elders to spend the night and that he would report back with an answer from God.[4] God then came down to Balaam and asked who the men staying with him were.[5] Balaam responded by telling God that they had asked for a divination.[6] God replied to Balaam by telling him not to go with the Moab elders and to not put a curse on Israel because they were blessed.[7] Balaam got up the following morning and informed Balak's officials that God had refused for him to go with them and curse Israel.[8] The officials returned to their king and reported this to him.[9]
Afterwards Balak sent another group of officials, being of large number and of higher authority.[10] This time they asked the Balaam would not let anything prevent him from meeting with the king[11] as he would be given a great reward.[12] Balaam replied that even if he were given all the gold and silver in the palace of Balak he could not disobey God,[13] and so he had the officials spend the night so that he may consult God.[14] So God told Balaam to go with the men since he had been summoned, but to only obey God.[15]
Riding to Moab
Therefore Balaam saddled his donkey and started off with the messengers and his two servants.[16] But God, who had already told Balaam not to curse the Israelites, was angry with Balaam's eager attitude, so he sent an Angel to stand in the road to stop him.[17] Balaam's donkey saw the Angel while Balaam did not, so the donkey shied away and went off road into a field. Balaam unknowing of his mount's reasons for fear,beat the donkey to get it back on the path of the road.[18] Soon Balaam arrived at a narrow path cutting through vineyards with walls on both sides.[19] When the donkey saw the Angel again, it leaned up against the wall, crushing his master's foot against it. Thus, Balaam beat the donkey again.[20] As they continued to travel, they encountered a narrow area where there was no room to turn.[21] When the donkey saw the Angel this time, he stopped and sat with Balaam riding on him, angering Balaam to beat the donkey with his staff.[22] After this God caused the donkey to speak who asked Balaam what he had done to receive three beatings.[23] Balaam then explained to his animal that he had been made a fool of by it, and then told it he would kill it if he had a sword.[24] The donkey then reminded Balaam that he had been his mount for a long period of time, and that it was not his regular behavior.[24]
After this God revealed to Balaam that an Angel with a sword drawn had been standing in the road, and so he bowed facedown to the Angel.[25] The traveling prophet was then questioned by the Angel of why he had beaten his donkey, since the path he was on was reckless.[26] The Angel then told Balaam that if it weren't for his donkey, he would've been killed by him with his donkey spared.[27] Balaam responded to the Angel's statements that he had sinned and did not realize he was in the road to blockade him.[28] However, Balaam was told to continue with Balak's officials, but to only speak what God would tell him.[29]
Prophesying for Balak
The First Prophecy
Soon king Balak heard that the summoned prophet was coming, and arranged to meet him in the border town of Arnon.[30] Balak then reminded Balaam of the urgency of his request,[31] and Balaam assured him that he was there, but could only speak what God gave him.[32] So Balaam went up to Kiriath Huzoth.[32] The next morning Balaam went up to Bamoth Baal where the outskirts of the Israelite camp could be seen.[33] Balaam then told Balak to have seven altars and one bull and one ram for each prepared for him.[34] Balaam then instructed Balak to stay with the offerings while he went aside to see if God would meet with discus with him.[35] Going off to a barren height, God met with him and was told by Balaam that sacrifices had been prepared.[36] Words were then given to Balaam to speak to Balak.[37] Balaam then told the Moabite King and all his officials the message that God had given him:[38] that despite being asked to curse the Israelite descendants of Jacob,[39] he could not curse those not cursed by God[40] as they were were distinguished,[41] and that he (Balaam) would want to die a righteous death.[42]
Hearing this, Balak was furious that all Balaam had done was bless the Israelites,[43] but Balaam told Balak he could only say what God told him to say.[44]
The Second Prophecy
So Balak brought Balaam to the field of Zophim on top of Pisgah and with Balaam built seven altars with a bull on each,[45] to see if Balaam would curse the Israelites. Then Balaam went off on his own to meet with God to receive another prophecy.[46] The LORD came and met with him and gave him a prophecy.[47] After returning to the Moabite officials, they asked him what the prophecy was.[48] He told them the prophecy:[49] God was not human and would not change his mind[50] and therefore he could not curse Israel, but only bless.[51] By his prophecy, Balaam once again enraged Balak,[52] but Balaam reminded him that he could only prophesy what God told him to.[53]
The Third Prophecy
Balaam was then brought to the top of Peor overlooking a desolate wasteland, in hopes that he would be able to curse Israel.[54] Balaam had Balak build seven altars and a bull and ram for each one.[55] When Balaam realized that it was pleasing to God to bless Israel, he did not resort to divination (going to meet with God) but looked over at the wilderness.[56] While Balaam was overlooking the nation of Israel encamped by the tribes, the Holy Spirit came to him[57] and so he spoke a message[58] blessing Israel again.[59] Then Balak's anger burned against the prophet Balaam and Balaam was told to go home and would not receive his payment.[60]
Prophecies against Nations
Balaam then reminded Balak that he had told his officials that he could only speak what God would tell him, despite any amount of riches he was given.[13][61] Before he returned to his people,[62] Balaam gave the King of Moab a prophecy[63] against his nation of Moab.[64] He then "saw" (revealed by God) the nation of Amalek and gave a prophecy concerning it.[65]
Balaam then gave a prophecy on the Kenites[66] and a prophecy about an attack from Cyprus on the cities of Asshur and Eber.[67] Then Balaam returned home.[62][68]
Later when Moses and the Israelites fought Sihon and the other Kings of Midian Balaam was executed along with Kings of Midian.

A spiritual conditioning program aimed at turning weak, soft, flabby Christians into strong, tough, faithful disciples for Christ. The objective is to get us out of the bleachers and on to the playing field.
Continuing with the sports analogy, we look at how Jesus wanted His disciples to spread the Word and apply that to how we are called to expand the team roster (His church).
Key Principle: We become like the God we pray to. As in team sports it is helpful to keep in touch with the team owner, to be united in his purpose, plans, and goals . . . so we keep in touch with God through prayer in order to be united in His purpose, plans, and goals for His Team the Church.
Finding a way to build playbooks to help us in life.
What is it that makes Jesus our model in the game of life?
As in team sports each player must do their part for the team win, so in the Lord's Church each member must do their God-assigned part for the Church to grow.
When a life situation seems to demand our whole attention, we need to step back and see the big picture; but what is the big picture?
An encouragement to put the time we spend in our lives into perspective.
R & R! Where we go to rejuvenate ourselves as Christians.
Everything has a price! What is the cost of your faith?

I'm linking up with Tara for Monday Made It-February!
I used a piece of lined paper as the background and printed these cute little graphics on full size labels and cut to size. I can't wait to see them in use! Pick up these free labels here!
I FINALLY finished my class set of evidence key rings! (25...lots of cutting, but now I'll have them for several years!) I've just been using a small set in reading groups and my posters are on display for the class to see, but now everyone will have their own key ring! I'm also using these for my observation (with their new detective notebooks!).
New Student Tub-At the beginning of the year I always make extra stuff for those unexpected new students and it somehow ends up in all different "storage areas" in my classroom. This year has been so nice because I had it stored in one location ready to go when I was notified of a new student entering my class the next morning. (At least one thing was ready right?) I have homework folders, procedures, parent information, writing folder, cover sheet, etc.) Just made a one for a friend!
These Valentines are for my daughter's class. I found these chapsticks 6 to a pack at Walmart during their Christmas clearance sale (why they were on clearance I'm not sure-no holiday logo) and knew I could use them for something! The tags read "I want to STICK with you Valentine!" She really likes them and is excited to give out her "lipsticks"!
So glad I found you through the linky!!
I just love all of this! The notpads, the rings, the tub, the Valentines!! Super cute!!
So glad to be following you!
I love the detective notepad! Hope your observation goes well!
I am your newest follower...found you through the Monday Made It linky. I LOVE your detective notebooks. WAY cute! Awesome find on the chap sticks too.
I want... no NEED to know more about how you're using those adorable notebooks for the students. I can't take it!! And the chapstick idea is awesome!!
Joanne's detective notebooks were a huge hit with my co-taught ese/gen ed class. I could not believe the responses they wrote today during a lesson on theme. It really made my job worth it all and the kids were learning so much. I am one of Joanne's biggest fans. She is amazing!!!!


After rolling out almost 50,000 miles of expressways and 6,000 miles of high-speed rail lines, China is now turning its attention underground with the most extensive metro project the world has ever seen.
More than 1 trillion yuan (£100 billion) will be spent on building underground networks in 28 cities, according to Gao Yucai, the head of the urban mass transit committee at China's Communications and Transport association.
Under the current projections, China will build the equivalent of 250 Circle lines by the end of the decade.
Twelve Chinese cities already have metro systems up and running - and Shanghai went from a standing start to having a bigger network than the London Underground in just 15 years.
But creating metro systems has now become an important badge of progress even for lesser cities, such as Taiyuan, Urumqi and Shijiazhuang, many of whose residents are unsure about why billions of pounds of investment should be funnelled underground.
"For local governments, having a metro really polishes the city's image and illustrates the political achievements of its officials, even though all the metro lines currently in operation are losing money," said Zhao Jian, a professor at Beijing's Jiaotong university.
"Of course, local governments will have to fund the projects, and they are already heavily in debt. The money will have to mostly come from bank loans," he added.
More than 90 new lines have been rubber-stamped by China's Reform and Development Commission, which oversees the country's planning. And many smaller cities, including Dali, Haikou, Zhuzhou and Luoyang, are now in the process of submitting their own plans for approval.


Orchid is one of the most delightful plants you can have at your home. They are not expensive and usually easy to take care of. Your patience may be rewarded with a whole bunch of gorgeous blossoms beautifying your living room. Here are some tips you may find useful.
The easiest orchid to have is Phalaenopsis – its flowers last months and the colours may vary. Planting it with care is important – try choosing a soil without a lot of chemicals. The natural fertilizers are a bit harder to find but they are the better option. Of course, be careful when you are putting the soil in a pot – make sure you put newspapers on the floor. The stains of soil are hard to be removed and you may need some London carpet cleaners help.
Orchids burn easily so avoid direct sunlight – the early morning sun is perfect for them.
Orchids like humidity so keep that in mind – you should provide them water at least once a week. However, don't over-water them as this can kill them.
After your orchid is done flowering,it should be trimmed to encourage re-blooming in a few months.
Don't forget to wipe the dust off its leaves when you are doing your domestic cleaning London. Use a soft cloth and be gentle so you don't break down its fragile buds and flowers.
If your orchid grows big you should immediately re-pot it as it may lead to the its death if the present pot is too small.
The signs of a healthy orchid are slightly leathery strong stems. If the plant is dark green in colour this indicates it doesn't receive enough light.
That's the basics for growing an orchid at home so why not make your home a better place by having one?

Q: My function does not return anything; terminal enters some purgatory? So, I'm writing a very simple function to approximate the value of pi using reimann's sum on a fourth of a unit circle. This is my code:
double pi_approx(unsigned int n)
{
    double width = 1 / n;
    double sum = 0;
    for(int i = 0 ; i <= 1 ; i += width)
    {
        sum += width * (1 - i * i);
    }
    return 4 * sum;
}

But when I run it on my terminal, it just enters this state where I can kinda just type whatever? What is that state and why am I entering it? How can I avoid that?

A: Two problems, both a result of integer arithmetic.

*

*As kaylum pointed out in the comments. i+=width doesn't modify i when i is an integer and width < 1.

*1 / n is zero, so width is zero and your loop variable never updates.
So, with these issues in mind:
double pi_approx(unsigned int n)
{
    double width = 1.0 / n; // One double operand, so n is promoted.
    double sum = 0;
    for(double i = 0 ; i <= 1 ; i += width)
    {
        sum += width * (1 - i * i);
    }
    return 4 * sum;
}

Pick the lineup
Pick the Houston Dynamo Lineup against Vancouver Whitecaps FC
Who's in your Dynamo starting XI against the Vancouver Whitecaps?

Share All sharing options for: Pick the Houston Dynamo Lineup against Vancouver Whitecaps FC
Will Cubo return to the starting XI?
Kevin Sousa-USA TODAY Sports
Last week was very good for the Houston Dynamo as they were able to pick up 3 points in a huge 4-0 win over Orlando City SC, a top team in the Eastern Conference. They continued their dominance and unbeaten run at home and will hope to continue that run of form against the Vancouver Whitecaps. The Whitecaps, who currently sit in 6th place in the West, are not to be taken lightly as they have won their last 2 outings on the road and could prove to be a test for Houston as they hope to move up the table.
In last week's win against the Lions the Dynamo were absolutely in control of the match. Despite a missed penalty, Houston were able to score 4 goals thanks to a brace from Mauro Manotas and goals from Romell Quioto and Alberth Elis. The switch back to the 4-3-3 saw huge success as the team never let off the pedal to attempt to score more goals. As Orlando grew more desperate to increase their chances, the Dynamo only gained momentum. Huge credit belongs to the defense which kept the first clean sheet of the year in the 4-3-3, but the offense looked unbeatable against Orlando, especially in the 2nd half.
I would expect very few changes by Wilmer Cabrera given the success last week. That would mean another go with the 4-3-3 over the 4-4-2. Cabrera even hinted during the postgame presser last week that the original reason for the formation change to the 4-4-2 was the injury to Romell Quito and with him back to 100% I think we see Cabrera's favored formation. There are a few injuries that could impact the choices Cabrera makes. Notably Eric Alexander sprained his MCL and is expected to miss weeks will be out. Ricardo Clark subbed on for Alexander, who was injured early into the game last week, played exceptionally well and would be my choice to replace Alexander with Juan David Cabezas getting the start in central defensive midfield. Erick "Cubo" Torres was a late scratch last week as he suffered from a concussion during practice. He's currently listed as probable and could feature in some capacity. It's unknown whether or not Cabrera makes that move so early given how well Mauro Manotas played in Cubo's absence, but Cabrera has a soft spot for Cubo and could give him minutes either in a starting role or off the bench regardless.
In my projected lineup we make very few changes (1) to the starting lineup of last week. Clark gets the start over the injured Alexander and the rest remains because….why change what worked extremely well last week. Should Cabrera opt not to go with Clark, I would bet that Oscar Boniek Garcia sees time in right midfield/right central midfield.
I think Cubo will see minutes, but it would be incredibly unfortunate to bench Mauro Manotas after he registered 2 goals and an assist last week. That would kill the confidence of a player looking for more playing time.
So who do you want to see lineup against the Vancouver Whitecaps? Let us know and feel free to share your choices in the comments section below!
