Q: Social login - permissions I have a question regarding angular boilerplate and the way social logins can be implemented. From what i gathered, we can bypass the default authorization which is defined in the "AuthConfigurer.cs" eg.
`if (bool.Parse(configuration["Authentication:JwtBearer:IsEnabled"]))
            {
                services.AddAuthentication(options => {
                    options.DefaultAuthenticateScheme = "JwtBearer";
                    options.DefaultChallengeScheme = "JwtBearer";
             }).AddJwtBearer("JwtBearer", options => .........
                {`

and then when we try to login we validate the user with username and password so that we can return the result model with the bearer token and user id.
public async Task<AuthenticateResultModel> Authenticate([FromBody] AuthenticateModel model)
    {
        var loginResult = await GetLoginResultAsync(
            model.UserNameOrEmailAddress,
            model.Password,
            GetTenancyNameOrNull()
        );

        var accessToken = CreateAccessToken(CreateJwtClaims(loginResult.Identity));

        return new AuthenticateResultModel
        {
            AccessToken = accessToken,
            EncryptedAccessToken = GetEncrpyedAccessToken(accessToken),
            ExpireInSeconds = (int)_configuration.Expiration.TotalSeconds,
            UserId = loginResult.User.Id
        };
    }

Seems pretty straightforward but while looking at examples and suggestions i found on the forums we can use numerous ways to handle authentication eg.
if (bool.Parse(configuration["Authentication:Microsoft:IsEnabled"]))

services.AddAuthentication().AddGoogle(googleOptions =>
{
    microsoftOptions.ClientId = configuration["Authentication:Microsoft:ClientId"];
    microsoftOptions.ClientSecret = configuration["Authentication:Microsoft:ClientSecret"];
});

So my real concern or rather my problem is if we bypass the bearer token and change it to something like Microsoft and we authenticate the user, what next?
How can we put permission for various pages on this authenticated "user"?
Can we set up authorization without a real boilerplate user who has permissions and if so, what then? How do we access parts of our website?

For six months out of 2017, Darren and I, Margie, had a total of six kids we were parenting who, between them, had multiple needs which required us to be in a stage of constant high alert. We were never able to fully relax when children were around, which was pretty much always. In December, two of them moved on to a different home, and we realized just what a toll those six months had taken on our body. For almost two weeks, we felt a constant desire to sleep. As we were able to let our guard down just slightly, our bodies let us know that they did not appreciate the beating they had taken over those six months.
Parenting is stressful, but parenting children who have experienced complex trauma, and who need high levels of supervision as a result, leads to parents being in a constant state of high alert. If this goes on for an extended period of time, the caregivers begin to have some of the same physical and emotional responses that have occurred in their children.
What are some physical and emotional issues seen in caregivers?
Foster children are nearly twice as likely to develop PTSD than active combat veterans. Caregivers can experience prolonged exposure to the traumas their children have endured, or experience several traumas themselves related to fostering or adopting, and begin to show symptoms of PTSD such as intrusive thoughts, negative thoughts and feelings, avoiding reminders of trauma, and symptoms of being on high alert.
Caring for a child who has experienced trauma over a long period of time can be very heartbreaking and emotionally challenging. If you have started to lose compassion for your child's history, you may be experiencing compassion fatigue. Compassion fatigue symptoms include chronic physical and emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, feelings of inequity toward the therapeutic or caregiver relationship, irritability, feelings of self-contempt, difficulty sleeping, weight loss, headaches, and of course, decreased compassion.
Caregivers can begin to feel hopeless and helpless about their child's situation, healing, behavior, or growth.
Parenting comes with an endless list of things to worry over, and fostering or adopting can add more weight or items to that list.
Ongoing stress, continuous sensory input (nonsense chatter, constant loud noise, etc.) coming from a traumatized child, constant battles with health, education, or government systems to advocate for a child, and so much more start to wear on foster and adoptive parents leaving them irritable, overly emotional, or short-tempered.
Higher, sustained levels of stress lower the body's immune system, resulting in more frequent illness. It can cause weight gain, heart disease, body aches, fatigue, nervousness, sleep disturbances, digestive problems, and other physical issues.
Withdrawal is common among caregivers. It could be due to a lack of energy, lack of time, or an inability to relate any longer to others in their social circles. Sometimes it's because it is too difficult to go anywhere with children who are triggered by situations outside of the home environment. Caregivers at times will withdraw themselves emotionally in their home as well due to a lack of reciprocity from the child, and they begin to feel more like they are just fulfilling job duties instead of being a nurturing parent figure.
While withdrawal is often a choice of an individual, isolation results from those around someone removing themselves from the individual's life. It may be that friends with children begin to stay away as fears creep in that being around your child will negatively impact their children. Maybe folks stop hanging around because there is sometimes a lot of drama involved with fostering and adopting. Yet others begin to question caregivers because they don't see the same behaviors that the parents see at home, and out of lack of knowledge about trauma and attachment, they begin to suspect the caregivers are the problem.
Do you seem to constantly be at a heightened state of alert? Do you jump at every sound and run to investigate? Does any movement out of the corner of your eye cause you to twirl around to check for safety? This is all very common in traumatized children, but caregivers often start to respond the same way, even when the children aren't around.
Many of these conditions overlap, some are symptoms of others, and they are all on a spectrum from mild to severe. Will all foster and adoptive parents develop these symptoms? No, but many will have some degree of some of the aforementioned physical and emotional responses. It depends greatly on the needs of the children in a home, the intensity of the needs, and the number and ages of the children.
When caregivers experience these negative impacts on their well-being, their parenting and relationships with children and others are adversely affected. What can caregivers do to minimize negative effects on their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing?
Caregivers of children who have experienced trauma often find that traumas they experienced and thought they had dealt with are triggered by their interactions with their children. Finding a therapist who is well-versed in trauma can be helpful in processing past trauma in order to find healing and be available to parent better. Other times it is necessary to find a therapist to help talk through difficulties in parenting a child and gain insight into the child's behavior and how to parent more effectively.
Find support groups locally or online or find an experienced mentor to walk alongside you on your journey of parenting.
While talking to friends and family can sometimes be encouraging, finding others who are experiencing similar triumphs and challenges through fostering or adopting provides the validation and information needed for success.
Develop a stronger support system.
Think about areas in your life in which you could use help in order to free up your mind, time, and energy for caring for your children. Is there a volunteer (or paid if budget allows) tutor who could take the added pressure of helping your child academically off your shoulders so you can focus on relationships? Is there someone who can pitch in with carpooling? Can a friend help you prepare food in bulk and freeze it for easy dinners? Many churches and communities are developing 'wrap-around services' where they find and train folks to do these types of things for foster and adoptive families. Each family has a team around them, and each team member is responsible for a different area of the family's life (childcare, food, housework, encouragement or prayer, carpooling, etc.) Reach out if you need help!
I have yet to find a caregiver who has nailed this well consistently. It helps to be creative. It's not always chocolate, wine, or a bubble bath. What "fills your cup" so to speak and energizes and revitalizes you? The tendency for caregivers is to neglect themselves to the point that nothing fills them up any longer, and they become less and less effective or therapeutic in their parenting, resulting in a damaged, resentful relationship with the child(ren).
Celebrate and recognize small victories and changes with your child to combat depression, anxiety, and other negative emotions.
Often caregivers wait until they have reached their limit before seeking help or taking a new course of action. Being proactive at the first signs of trouble will help reduce chances of consequences like placement disruption or other major impacts to the family's wellbeing.
We are here for you! Join other parents in the trenches during our [Monday Caregiver CheckIn] live each week on Facebook at 8pm EST!
Think about these questions and possibly discuss them with a co-caregiver, trusted friend, or a professional, OR begin a discussion here with other caregivers.
Have you experienced any of the negative impacts listed above through foster or adoptive parenting?
Is there any negative impacts we failed to mention?
What have you found helpful in reducing negative effects on your wellbeing?
What steps can you take increase your wellbeing and your relationship with your child?
"This new book from life work expert Joy Rees explains the value of effective and meaningful life work with children who are fostered and adopted, and how best to carry it out.
This book provides caregivers and professionals with information about life work (also known as life story books, life journey work, etc). The author breaks down the specifics of the definition of the term life work, as well as going into clearly understood purpose for the importance of a life story book. She states, "The fundamental purpose of life work with all children in care is to help them understand their history and to gain a sense of their identity." Next, Rees explores theoretical framework, having "thorough knowledge of child development, including brain development, attachment theory, and developmental trauma." Each stage of developmental age is explored in relation to how to tackle life work at the different developmental stages, what is developmentally appropriate. The next section in the book discusses the importance of the child's team and their knowledge of their story/development/life details. These important people in the child's life can help make sure every detail they know can be recorded and documented for the child's life work. The information gathered can really help the child put the pieces together in the future, pieces of their story that they may not have any information about. This section of the book seems to have the most detailed examples of what can be used to create life work for a child: Preparation and processing, observation, listening, and play, memories, memory books, and boxes, photographs, life journey work, therapeutic stories, child appreciation days, life story books, later life letters, contact, and finally, adoption and care records. The appendix in the book has sample questionaires for caregivers/case workers to fill out, sample later life letters, and suggested reading lists for adults and children.
This book has done a wonderful job of explaining the why's as well as the how to's to help professionals as well as caretakers help create life work for children in foster care or adoption. It stresses the importance of coming together as a coordinated team for the sake of the child's story, helping the child have a more thorough documentation of their past, for them in the future.
A quick and easy read, this book is for sure worth sharing with others in the adoption and foster care community. It isn't just perfect for the foster/adoptive family but also therapists, case workers, judges, teachers, etc.

The Company was incorporated as an Argentine limited liability corporation (sociedad anónima) in 1945 under the name Frigorífico La Pampa S.A. In 2003, the former business activities, which were limited to the ownership and operation of a warehouse building, were suspended. In 2005, the Company was acquired by the principals of Grupo EMES (formerly Grupo Dolphin), an Argentine private equity group, to serve as a corporate vehicle for its investments in Argentina. The name was changed first to Pampa Holding S.A., and subsequently to Pampa Energía S.A., given the Company's focus on the energy industry.
Senior members of Grupo EMES (formerly known as Grupo Dolphin) acquired Pampa Energía to channel their acquisitions in the energy sector.
Pampa increases its capital stock in 140 million shares at AR$1 per share.

Could there be changes on the horizon for Saturday Night Live, after racking up 21 Emmy nominations this year?
ET's Nancy O'Dell spoke with the show's creator and executive producer, Lorne Michaels, on the red carpet at the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live in Los Angeles on Monday, where he revealed they're auditioning new cast members.
"We were in Chicago, we were in a bunch of other places. We were holding final [auditions] two nights ago," Michaels said, adding that they would be making decisions "soon" after finding "a couple people."
The show may need those people if rumors of breakout star and Emmy nominee Kate McKinnon leaving are true.
"This is her last year on her contract," Michaels revealed. But he's in no hurry to push his star out the door. "She could stay, she'd get a lifetime contract."
For now, McKinnon will be around when SNL's 44th season kicks off on Sept 29, with host Adam Driver and musical guest Kanye West.
"I'm past being nervous about that," Michaels said of West's notoriously unpredictable behavior. "He's been on the show maybe four or five times, and he's always been great. And he's always inventive, and he takes it seriously. He's a genius."
SNL star Leslie Jones also seemed to be bracing herself for some Kanye antics. When asked how she thought he might be on the show, she simply replied, "I don't know."
Michaels also shrugged off the sudden surge of SNL couples, from Emmys host Colin Jost dating Scarlett Johansson, to Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande's whirlwind romance. Is there something in the water?
"No, it's just normal NBC water, which is not bottled," he joked.


Its a experience to which every indian student can relate to, hope it connects with you too..
but as I said earlier I was the one with hopes, and obviously only one guy was good with girls in this trilogy( the chilling hard guy).
so I can't blame the students that they go for these hell of tough competitive exams.
but most importantly it is experience that you will earn and your viewpoint of seeing things will change).
Now after the all this going in my head we gave GATE and cleared the exam with reasonable marks..
it didn't mattered much as I still could make it in TOP 500, but this the point where things took a really imperceptible turn.

City Council discussing what goes to voters in November
Matt Dotray
Lubbock Avalanche-Journal
The Lubbock City Council's two main initiatives of late, a road bond and updating the city charter, met when council members started discussing the potential November ballots this week.
Both initiatives have been in the works all year, and they could be on the ballot together, although there's some reservation from several council members in having both in the same election just a few months away.
The council appointed seven citizens to review the city charter in February. The committee met nine times and hosted two public hearings before presenting their final recommendations to the city council last month.
The most discussed topics were the salaries for the mayor and council members, and the requirements for a citizen referendum to go to a public vote. The recommendations from the committee are for slight salary increases for the mayor and members of the Lubbock City Council, and to make 10% of registered voters the number of signatures required to bring an ordinance before the city council.
Public hearings attracted rooms full of people who spoke in favor of paying the mayor and council members a 'living wage' so that money would no longer be a barrier for anybody wanting to run for local office. A living wage for the city council, they argued, would attract a more diverse group of people, would attract people of different ages, and would allow the mayor and city council to spend more time on city needs.
Currently the mayor gets paid $75 a month and members of the city council make $25.
The argument against a living wage is that serving on the city council is still a voluntary position — the city manager runs the city and the city council meets occasionally to set policy. A slight increase, which is what the committee recommended, would at least make it to where someone could miss some work.
The committee recommended increasing the mayor's salary to $1,300 per month, or $15,600 annually, and the city council's salary to $800 per month, or $9,600 annually. The committee also recommended adjusting the salaries in accordance to inflation.
It's an adjustment, but not one significant enough to make being the mayor or city council person a full-time position. Members of the committee said the intent was not to make these positions a full-time job.
When the council met last week to once again discuss the list of potential charter amendments, the focus remained on salaries. Council members Juan Chadis and Shelia Patterson Harris spoke in favor of a living wage while the rest of the council spoke in favor of the recommendations. The changes, if voters approve it, will not impact this current council, but the councils that follow.
The charter review committee is also recommending the city change the number of signatures for a petition to 10% of the number of registered voters registered to vote 30 days prior to the submission of a petition. The hope, according to the committee, is to bring uniformity to this process, since the charter currently requires a percentage of the number of votes in the last local election to bring an ordinance forward.
There are about 150,000 registered voters in the City of Lubbock, so it would currently take about 15,000 signatures to bring an ordinance to the city council. There was some talk among the council this week of lowering it from 10% to 8%.
The charter is the city's guiding document, and no changes can be made to it without a public vote, and the city council has had its sights set on putting charter amendments before voters in November.
Meanwhile, the city is also pursuing a $174 million bond election for roads across the city.
A future needs subcommittee on the council has been looking at large capital needs, and recently recommended a bond package for 13 major road improvement projects: nine widening projects and four rebuild projects. The city estimates the tax rate would increase to a peak of 2.01 cents per $100 property valuation if the bond were to get approved.
Lubbock's current tax rate is 54.1573 cents per $100 property valuation. City staff presented the city council with the projected tax rate to pay off the debt over time, and the tax rate would increase incrementally as the bonds get sold over time until fiscal year 2026-27 with a tax rate of 57.4672 cents per $100 property valuation before it begins decreasing due to other debt rolling off. This is if the city council doesn't take on more debt or increase/decrease the tax rate for another purpose.
In the coming months, the city council will be deciding if both these initiatives will go to voters in November.
Several members of the city council expressed concern that putting both on the same ballot would be too much. The state will have eight different constitutional amendments on the ballots in November. A local charter amendment election could mean, based on discussions so far, about 10 different charter amendments would be on the ballots. Plus the $174 million road bond election.
The Lubbock City Council discussed both of these topics during a work session this week, and Councilwoman Latrelle Joy commented that having all this one one ballot may not give voters enough time to immerse themselves in all these topics.
Per the council discussion, moving forward with the road bond has wide support. Some are suggesting moving the charter amendment vote to May of 2022.
"November is a tight squeeze, a tight crunch as far as time is concerned," Councilman Juan Chadis said about the charter amendments. "If we're going to do it in May, let's set our sights for May. I think November is a little too close to get it done."
There's also support for having it all in November. Mayor Pro Tem Steve Massengale said the city should move forward as planned. He said these topics have been debated and written about, and it's time to put them to a vote. Council members Jeff Griffith and Randy Christian made similar remarks.
"We've had three charter committees in the past, and councils have never acted on them," Griffith said. "I think it's time that we put it before our citizens."
The Lubbock City Council has until Monday, Aug. 16 to call these elections. The first the city council can call the road bond is Wednesday, Aug. 4, although the city council can call the charter amendment election at any meeting before the Aug. 16 deadline. Both actions require two votes from the council.
In all the discussion about a living wage, a non-binding referendum on the ballot was pitched as an idea. If the council decides to move the charter review election to May, one idea was to have a yes or no vote on the November ballot along the lines of: should the city council be paid a living wage?
The city council could vote as early as the next meeting on July 27 to put the charter amendments on the ballot.

Bank of America's potential liability for bad mortgages — in the tens of billions of dollars — is well known. But Bank of America is haunted by other demons from the financial crisis, the most significant one being a lawsuit arising from its troubled Merrill Lynch acquisition.
This lawsuit, brought by Bank of America shareholders, claims that Bank of America and its executives, including its former chief executive, Kenneth D. Lewis, failed to disclose what would be a $15.31 billion loss at Merrill in the days before and after the acquisition. The plaintiffs contend that this staggering loss was hidden to ensure that Bank of America shareholders did not vote against the transaction.
President's office of Bank of America has to be one bad place to go each day. One must decide which lawsuit will hurt us the most,who can we f..k over & win. Which homeowner get the reject phone call, or can we say how many will they foreclose on today? Instead come clean. Bad investments you may have to do what I do each day. Being ill & sometimes very ill I still have to get out of bed & take Casey,the Dog, for a walk & pick up her poop!

Il 18 settembre 2020 papa Francesco ha accolto la sua rinuncia al governo pastorale della diocesi. In una lettera al clero e ai fedeli della diocesi di Saint Thomas, ha spiegato che aveva presentato le sue dimissioni il 6 luglio 2020, in modo da poter iniziare i lavori per la nomina del suo successore quando l'anno successivo avrebbe compiuto 75 anni.

Not content with blowing us away with an amazing Mean Machine cover this week, Nick Percival gets to showcase his talents on another classic 2000AD character, the one and only Mr 10 Per Cent himself, Howard Quartz!
As a man, Howard Quartz had, some would say, eccentric tastes, so when a robotic body became a priority, he made sure he went for that dashing, retro look. Why else would he have 70's style telephones on him, eh?
Nick was thrilled to be offered the chance of painting this iconic character. He said "This was really just a bit of a laugh to do and a throwback to the 2000AD covers of the 70's and early 80's where they didn't take themselves seriously at all! It was Tharg's idea to have Quartz 'shouting' on the phone with the speech bubble to be added later..."
"The challenge was to make a robot with a brain in a dome appear angry and I wanted a slight cartoony, colourful feel, so it was a nice break from all the moody, serious stuff."
Massive thanks to Nick for sending the images and text for a truly amusing cover, I love it!
Also, thanks to Hawkmonger and Dark Jimbo of the 2000AD Forum for their help regarding the panel of Prog 1804 - thanks guys!
Oh yeah! Jake Lynch blasts back with this absolutely awesome cover for Prog 1922. What a stunner!
As Dave Piddlesworth, this blog's regular reader, may remember, that last time Jake was on the this blog (his Orlok cover of Prog 1917) things didn't end well. Jake earned a Rigellion Hotshot and a 'readjustment' session with Mek Quake after revealing a little too much of the Mighty One's practices.
"Can you hear that noise? No..? Fine, then lets get on with this: This pic was a bit of an experiment to do something a little less painterly and a little more comic-book...er..ee. Still smarting from my last encounter with the Mighty One (his long range accuracy is staggering,) I begin..."
"The original rough is quite fun but, as I'm inking it, I start feeling that this Dredd is not worthy of a cover (possibly more suited to Notre Dame!)..."
"Wind yer neck in Dredd!"
A nervous looking Jake continues "I also have a really bad habit of doing awful knee pads, so I redraw..."
"I get hold of a piece of glass using my awesome scrounging skills, on which I paint some random strokes using an Acrylic modelling paste to help keep the texture in the marks. I then take a photo of it and use it as a starting point for the background." Bloody hell! Last week Greg Staples painted on wood, this week Jake on glass. Is there a paper shortage at the Nerve Centre?
"This sheet of glass is proudly sponsored by Antique and Period Glassworks, Norfolk - thanks, Keith!
There's that noise again... No? Okay."
"While Tharg laughed, Pye01 stole my tot of oil so I take revenge by destroying his logo! This made the droid rage, forcing Tharg to smite us both mightily with high velocity hotshots...repeatedly." Just another day at the Nerve Centre then?
I take it Dredd doesn't like the new logo?
"Colour, colour, colour and done?"
"5... 4... 3... 2... 1... We have lift off!"
"Before Tharg would accept the finished pic he decreed the chain be redrawn so it could be seen more clearly (and there would be consequences...)"
"This final touch done it was sent off and everything went perfectly with no repercussions whatsoever :-)"
"Okay, enough is enough, which one of you jokers is making that whistling sound!? I knew I heard something! Come on, own up. It's only your own time you're wast- AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHhhhh...!!"
This cover was produced by Michael Bay.
Massive, massive thanks to Jake (Grud rest his soul) for sending the images. Wait... could it be? Yes! There's a faint electronic pulse, so hopefully we'll see him back on the Prog soon. Now, where did I put that number for Droidline...?
Rufus Dayglo - Keeping Good Company.
This week the news finally broke that Bad Company is making a welcome return to the hallowed pages of 2000AD. 'Bad Company - First Casualties' will be written by series creator Peter Milligan asked inked by original inker Brendan McCarthy. The strip will be penciled by the fantastic Rufus Dayglo, which surely means that First Casualties will be a fitting tribute to the late, great Brett Ewins who sadly died last month.
Rufus, a good friend of Brett, is delighted to be pencilling the strip, and got in touch to show his working methods behind a recently released promo image. Over to Ruf!
"I've been asked by a few people who I created the Promo art for the new BAD COMPANY - First Casualties series, so thought I'd put up a few pictures showing my err... 'process'...."
"I started off with a little thumbnail, about 1 1/2 inches high..."
Aw... an itty bitty Kano, how erm... cute?
"Then I pencilled out a proper rough, and scanned it, and printed it out larger. I pencilled it onto water colour paper (Arches hot press 300gsm, it's actually cotton fibre, not paper, so a lovely surface to draw on)..."
More like Afro than Kano!
"Then I wetted it down to a board..."
Check out the McMahon Dredd Trading Cards art, just being the board!
"And painted in the background black...."
So, a human skull in the previous pic, and a severed foot here? Nothing to worry about at all!
"At this point, I changed my mind on my approach ( I had intended to 'ink' it last...) and decided to add inked lines... I opted for ballpoint pen haha, as I love them, and they are waterproof when dry, so great to paint over.
Spot the Solid Gold Death Mask refs!
"Then I cut it off the board, and scanned it at 600dpi (colour) and patched the scans together in Photoshop as it was large art."
"Then I added colour, and a few effects around his eye, then finally some type... and Presto!"
"Hope that made some sort of sense! The most important thing to remember is to have fun drawing, try not to panic (as much as me...mumble mumble ) and drink loads of coffee, and have a good supply of Kit Kats!
Thanks to Rufus for sending this fine article out of the blue, I'm honoured!
Greg Staples - Danse Macabre.
The series has looked absolutely beautiful, two years in the making and worth every second! When this is collected into a beautiful hardback graphic novel I'll be first in the queue!
It's no use trying to hide Sidney, that's tracing paper!
Sssshithouse that he is though, Death manages to swat away the piece of paper, aaaaaagh!
And we pan out to see just why he's so happy - about to off poor Joe again eh?
Do you know how long it takes Death to manicure the nails on his elbow pad? Ssssstlye is everything!
Greg adds some evil ink that has been cursed by Putin himself - the horror!
"Jussst one little kiss Joe!"
I bet you're thinking this is the real Fire eh?
It's simple really - Boing(R) for the other three, camomile lotion for Fire.
Fooled you, it's Mortis' skeleton string puppet! Curssse that spoilsport Anderson though, shooting the strings.
Throw your hands in the air, and wave 'em like you just don't care!
But how can we stay made at her when she's such a cutie eh?
Sadly, Greg dropped his bag of chips over the piece and got grease all over it - noooo!
See? They ARE dark judges!
Oooh, Fire's looking a bit pale, I hope he's okay.
Ssssso? Megcleans removes plaque, synthicaf stains aaaand gives you fresh breath? I musssst try it!"
Dredd, our hero, takes one of them on, while Anderson deals with THREE.
And here's how it looks on your Prog, a masterpiece!
Too much synthiketchup on his hottie again.
"Come with me, if you want to erm... die!"
Huge thanks to Greg for sending the images and a hearty congratulations on completing this epic story. It will forever be know as on of the, if not the, most beautifully painted Dredd story ever!
If you are the LSCC this year, be sure to check out the painting in the rotten, decayed flesh from 2pm at booth B12, where Greg will be signing!

From Goodreads ~ Whether lighting up the small screen, stealing scenes on the big screen or starring on the stage, Andrea Martin has long entertained Canadians with her hilarious characterizations and heartwarming performances. An important player in SCTV, the funniest show ever to come out of Canada, Martin helped change the face of television by introducing us to a host of characters, including the indomitable Edith Prickley. Martin has worked stages, sets and even trapezes across North America, playing to houses packed with adoring fans, all of whom instantly recognize the star who has entertained us for nearly forty years.
In Lady Parts, Martin, for the first time, shares her fondest remembrances of a life in show business, motherhood, relationships, no relationships, family, chimps in tutus, squirrels, and why she flies to Atlanta to get her hair cut. Martin opens up her heart in a series of eclectic, human, always entertaining and often moving essays. Lady Parts will make you giggle and may make you cry-a powerful collection of stories by a woman with a truly storied life.
Andrea Martin is a star of TV, movies and stage. Though she was born in Maine, she has lived in Canada and now divides her time between the U.S. and Toronto.
She is the oldest of three of Armenian parents, who split up when she was young. These are her stories ... of being married (and divorced) and a mom of two sons, dating, her mustang convertible (that was stolen at gun point!), her friends, getting haircuts by Pascal Besimon in Atlanta, her battles with bulimia, SCTV and more.
This was a fun book. I found it interesting and I liked the writing style. It was funny and honest. Though she sounds a bit neurotic, I bet she'd be fun to hang with ... she sounds very caring.


There are several meanings of the word interview, but that which best fits my historical research activities in this area is, 'a meeting of people, face to face, especially for the purpose of consultation'. The people I wished to meet face to face were the older residents of our village, and my reason for consulting them was to record their memories of times gone by.
My first interviews, carried out in the early 1990s were paper and pencil affairs, but I quickly moved on to a portable tape recorder. Written records of interviews have the advantage of not needing transcription but the tape recorder has the advantage of catching every word of the person recounting their experiences, which easily outweighs the tedious task of later transcription.
The children of the 1901 Fovant census, parents and grandparents in their turn, have responded willingly to the question 'what was it like when you were young?' and much has been gleaned from listening to the childhood memories of these older villagers. Recorded interviews with representatives of the Turner, Wyatt, Green, Foyle, Burton, Lee, Simper, Hardiman and Coombs families, telling of their lives in early 20th century Fovant, have the added bonus of the authentic Wiltshire accent.
Most people enjoy talking about their childhood, and I certainly enjoyed listening to the tales they told, and have been grateful for their co-operation. The importance of such oral evidence cannot be overstated – there is nothing to equal the account of someone who was there, given in the words of an eyewitness.
However, a certain caution should come into play when interpreting the material gathered. An overwhelming desire to say what the listener would like to hear can slant the conversation. The interviewer could ask a leading question. Depending on their standpoint, happenings could be exaggerated or played down as people interpret the same event in different ways. Such variation in itself is important because negative evidence can be just as useful as positive. The bottom line is that everything that is told is valuable, for each little piece of information helps to make up the whole, bridging the gap between ancestors and descendants.
Several of my early interviewees are no longer with us, a situation that emphasises the need to record as much as possible while the opportunity remains.

Commenter: Ken Gigliello
Clean Energy Virginia Initiative Referred to as Executive Directive 11.
I'm writing today to voice my support of a regulation in Virginia that cuts carbon pollution from power plants and allows us to trade carbon allowances with other states.
With no help coming from the federal level in addressing climate change, it's up to states like Virginia to act. By cutting carbon emissions in Virginia, we have the opportunity to protect public health and safety while also creating jobs in the carbon-neutral renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors.
And because we're joining up with a coalition of other states with carbon caps, action we take here in Virginia is greater than the sum of its parts.
I urge you to proceed with a strong regulation that shows Virginia is a leader in addressing climate change and takes its responsibility seriously.'
Burning fossil fuels has left a toxic legacy of pollution across Virginia's land, air and water. Reducing carbon emissions from power plants and incentivizing renewable energy will lower electric bills, create jobs, improve air quality, improve public health and protect and preserve Virginia's environment.

Take your photography to the next level in 2018!
Who: The Advance Workshop has been designed as the natural next step after completing Parts 1 and 2. Although you don't need to be a Part 2 grad to take this course, you'll need to be comfortable with the content we cover in Parts 1 and 2 (outlined below) to get the most out of this workshop. We are limiting registration to 10 students to ensure a high level of personal attention.
When: 5 consecutive Monday evenings, from 6-9pm, beginning July 9, 2018 (the last workshop will be on August 6th).
Where: Week one will take place on-location at a park, usually in north Wilmington. Weeks 2 through 5 will take place at Studio on Market: 219 North Market Street, Wilmington DE, 19801. It's a safe, beautiful location with plenty of parking and lots of room to learn and practice.
What: Each week we'll dive into a variety of topics designed to improve your photography, add to your technical toolkit, and sharpen your creative mind. You'll receive weekly, challenging assignments that will guide you in your practice; and the following week, you'll receive personalized and genuine feedback to help you fine tune your photography.
Week One: We'll really nail down everything that we learned in Parts 1 and 2, but you'll practice shooting with your own gear, with a model, on-location. We'll ensure you're fast and comfortable with the basics: aperture priority mode, white balance, choosing ISO, using different autofocus modes, adjusting exposure compensation, and the fundamentals of shooting in ambient light.
Week Two: We'll work on building stronger compositions, how to use layering to create more interesting images and become a visual storyteller, and how to capture moments, even within posed photos.
Week Three: We'll talk about the power of perspective, and using light and shadow to create dramatic and dynamic photos.
Week Four: You'll learn how to take your images across the line by using Adobe Lightroom to make post production an extension of the creative process. The Advance Workshop includes lifetime access to Dan's Adobe Lightroom Crash Course ($49 value) on Dazzle Training, where he explains the basics of post production workflow, file management, and Lightroom controls, broken down into individual videos totaling about 90 minutes of training. We'll provide login information once you register so you can begin learning and practicing, to ensure you get the most out of week four of this workshop.
Week Five: Flash! We'll scratch the surface of the incredible world of off-camera flash: the gear, the tech, and how to get started with creating professional light in just about any environment.
Cost: $500 - Divided into 2 payments - half at registration and half two weeks before the workshop begins.
What if I'm new to Adobe Lightroom?
Enrollment in the Advance Workshop includes access to our online class Adobe Lightroom: Crash Course, where you will learn the basics of the software (a $49.95 value). Adobe offers free trials of Lightroom and then the software is $9.99 a month after the trial period expires. Check out the Adobe Creative Cloud website for details.
What if I can't make one of the weeks?
We strongly encourage you to attend each week, as we will be covering a lot of material in each class session. But we know things happen, so we will be filming the lecture portion of each class session, so we will be able to email a video link where you can catch up if necessary.
What if I don't have any flash equipment?
You DON'T need to have flash gear for this to work. We will provide any flash equipment that is necessary.

The United Nations organization has been a subject of study in many disciplines such as political science, history, economics, law and others since its creation in 1945 and earlier if we take into account previous settings of multinational discussions such as the League of Nations. Various theoretical approaches — at times even competing with one another — have been used to examine the United Nations. For instance, in the 1960-70s, an extensive literature raised the issues of politics and power games in particular with respect to the voting patterns at the General Assembly as well as the Security Council (Alker and Russett 1967). An intergovernmental perspective dominated the literature and realist theories were mainly applied to study international organizations. However the 1970s witnessed a turning point in the way scholars examined these institutions. This period was marked by the rise of the regime literature, which goes beyond formal organizations. The study of international governance was understood as a set of rules, norms and principles. Scholars also started to consider other actors involved in this international governance such as NGOs and civil society. The late 1990s-early 21st century constituted a second crucial milestone in the study of the UN. In line with the critical perspective developed by Cox and Jacobson in 1973 and followed by Reinalda and Verbeek in 1998 and 2004, the academic community began to open the "black box" and look at the internal processes at play. In 1999 and 2004, Barnett and Finnemore laid the cornerstones for the study of the UN bureaucratic structure. They were followed by a growing field of research analyzing the UN as an international bureaucracy (Biermann and Siedenhüner 2009, Bauer, Knill, and Eckhard 2017). Despite this important theoretical development in the study of the United Nations, it has not been followed by a complete assessment of the methods used to research these organizations. Which methods are used and how? What would be a specific methodology applied to the case of international organizations (IOs)?
On the one hand, IO researchers have recently called for a renewal in the way international organizations are approached stressing the need for innovative tools to capture the intergovernmental world. Scholars also consider the relevance of a research "toolkit" which includes quantitative methods or mixed-method perspectives, that are used for instance in the context of European organizations (Van Ingelgom 2007). In addition, the digitalization of IO documents has allowed researchers to study them in new ways, providing an easier and global access to grey literature. Network analysis together with quantitative and qualitative discourse analysis is among methodological tools recently applied to enhance research on IOs.
On the other hand, many scholars have raised the difficulty to conduct research on IOs, due to the need for "discretion" and neutrality when addressing international civil servants (Dematteo 2011, Badaro 2011) or due to invisible entry barriers that make research impossible to outsiders, favoring research (almost) exclusively to former international staff (David-Ismayil 2010). The place of the researcher within these configurations with specific codes requires a permanent reflexivity (Laurens 2007). The entry into the field, the modalities of research and the exploitation of results are complex issues to negotiate in any context, and even more in a multilateral and bureaucratic one. Ethnographic approaches, applied both collectively and individually (Lewis and Mosse 2006, Abélès 2011, Müller 2012, Foyer 2015), are increasingly used to overcome these hurdles. Furthermore the work of historians is also considerably valuable to put multilateral practices into perspective (Kott 2011).

Diabetes affects around 25.8 million people in the United States. An astounding 95% of those with the disease are suffering from type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes occurs when blood glucose (or blood sugar) levels are above normal. The body also is not able to use insulin properly. The disease can lead to many severe medical problems, such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease vision loss and nerve damage.
Unfortunately many people do not find out they have type 2 diabetes until they begin experiencing more advanced symptoms. But the good news is type 2 diabetes is a preventable disease. Understanding the risks of diabetes and living a healthier lifestyle will help decrease your chances of developing type 2 diabetes.
The exact causes of type 2 diabetes are unknown, however there are a number of key factors to look for when determining whether or not you are at risk. It's possible that a person with some or all of these risk factors may never develop type 2 diabetes. But studies have shown that the more risk factors a person has, the more likely they are to develop the disease.
Being overweight or obese - Being overweight is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of more than 25.
Age over 45 - Your chances of getting diabetes in your later years are much greater than when you're young.
A Family History - Your chance of developing type 2 diabetes increases if you have a parent, sibling or other family member with the disease.
High Blood Pressure - Also known as hypertension, type 2 diabetes is found more in people with high blood pressure.
Race or Ethnic Background - Studies have shown that Hispanics, African-Americans, Native Americans and Asians all have a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Living a Sedentary Lifestyle - An example of this risk factor is if you work at a desk all day and get none or very limited physical activity.
Even if you have one, a few or all of the risk factors for type 2 diabetes, the disease is still preventable. Since obesity is one of the biggest risk factors, lifestyle changes such as eating healthy and getting the recommended amount of physical activity can help reduce your risk of developing diabetes. Even if you're not losing weight, exercise and healthy eating are still beneficial for decreasing your risk.
If you have serious concerns about developing type 2 diabetes, you should make an appointment with your doctor in order to discuss more personalized prevention steps.Your doctor may recommend a blood glucose screening to test for diabetes if you're older than 45 and overweight, or if you're younger than age 45 and overweight with one or more additional risk factors for type 2 diabetes.
At Genesis Medical, we will be happy to answer any questions you might have about your risk of type 2 diabetes. Remember, even if you have any number of the risk factors, type 2 diabetes is preventable. The best way to treat the disease is to keep it from ever happening in the first place.

Forging Future Science Teachers

by Becky Oskin
Teresa Huang's passion for chemistry and teaching was awakened at an early age by her grandfather, who was a chemistry teacher before he immigrated to California from China. She plans to follow in his footsteps and become a high school science teacher.
Huang (B.S., chemistry, '18) is close to achieving her dream thanks to the CalTeach/ Mathematics and Science Teaching Program (MAST) program at UC Davis. "MAST changed my life," Huang said.
What is CalTeach/MAST?
CalTeach is a University of California system-wide program to recruit, prepare and support highly-qualified K-12 teachers in science and mathematics. The initiative was launched in 2005 in response to state and national concerns about the critical shortage of highly qualified elementary and secondary teachers. In addition to its state funding, CalTeach is supported by foundation, private industry and other external sources.
Undergraduates who are curious about teaching at any level, from kindergarten through college, can explore their interest through the courses offered by CalTeach/MAST. Classes offered through CalTeach/MAST cover instruction and learning techniques for science and mathematics classrooms, including California curriculum standards such as common core math. The program helps students satisfy some of the requirements for both their undergraduate degree and a teaching credential.
CalTeach/MAST also provides opportunities for teaching practice under the guidance of a mentor teacher in a local K-12 or UC Davis classroom. These internship hours satisfy most credential program classroom experience requirements. "One of the benefits of our courses is that they allow you to try the realities of classroom teaching while pursuing your studies," said Susann Pinter, academic coordinator and lecturer for the UC Davis program.
As an undergraduate, Huang interned at Davis Senior High School and worked for the California State Summer School for Mathematics and Science (COSMOS). "You can say you want to be a teacher, but you don't really know until you're in front of the classroom," she said.
Huang is now completing her teaching credential program through the UC Davis School of Education with a student teaching placement at a public charter high school in Natomas, a Sacramento suburb. Through its Diverse Future Teachers program, the Natomas school district pays for 80 percent of Huang's credential program in return for a three-year teaching commitment. Huang said she learned of the scholarship through CalTeach/MAST. "I love the people in MAST and how supportive they were, and I had so many opportunities thanks to them."
Promoting diversity
The UC Davis CalTeach/MAST program has the largest enrollment in the UC system, and has sent more STEM teachers into underserved California schools than other CalTeach programs, said Sandy Carlson, faculty director and professor of earth and planetary sciences in the College of Letters and Science. CalTeach/MAST also has a positive impact on California schools by bringing well-trained, enthusiastic and diverse teachers to their districts, she said. More than two-thirds of CalTeach graduates are from underrepresented-minority or Asian backgrounds.
"The teachers we've hired from the UC Davis CalTeach/MAST program have been game changers at our school. They are subject matter experts, develop wonderful relationships with students, and collaborate effectively with peers. They make everyone around them better," said Ed Santopadre, principal at Vacaville High School in Vacaville, California.

Nissan Kicks Concept Unveiled
By xsisted78 | October 30, 2014
The nissan 'kicks' concept is unveiled at the 2014 sao paulo international motor show and marks the company's second ever brazilian design exploration. it follows the 2012 showing of the 'EXTREM' concept by reflecting both the vibrancy and seriousness of the country in its modern styling. with bold, distinctive color treatments, a dramatic stance and an attention to detail, the car hints at a possible production model for the fast-growing market in the south american nation. the event runs from october 30th to novemeber 9th, with the 'kicks' vehicle being showcased throughout.
'the new nissan kicks concept takes the nissan EXTREM from pure fantasy to a market position that is a little closer to reality – and possibly toward a future production vehicle,' said nissan brazil president françois dossa. 'while the exaggerated form of EXTREM, as the name suggests, was all about fun, the kicks concept adds elements of robustness and security that are highly appropriate for today's fast-moving brazilian professionals.'
The project was led by their global design center in japan and was conceived in a worldwide collaboration between california-based nissan design america and nissan design america rio. the studios sought out the perfect balance between a traditional compact SUV and a performance car by creating a rock solid foundation that has a highly grounded yet ready to pounce form. its new proportions of a high beltline, cowl, full wraparound glass and pushed out 19-inch six-spoke aluminum -alloy wheels add a sense of security as well as robustness. a dynamic personality is also reflected because of how the sculptural upper body interplays with the lower section's blunt vertical front end and powerful rear.
'the kicks project has been an outstanding example of how our global design network works to create vehicles that are well suited to the regions where they will be seen and enjoyed. for this concept car, we called on our rio de janeiro team for their expertise and local insight,' said shiro nakamura, senior vice president and chief creative officer, nissan motor co., ltd. 'this type of collaboration between different studios has long been a strength of nissan and is a key to our design leadership.'
'while the kicks concept borrows some design influences from EXTREM, we wanted to explore a fresh, unexpected perspective on the future of the urban crossover segment in brazil.' he added, 'kicks is intended to be a little more mature and thoughtful than EXTREM. it is fun-to-drive, but also a serious vehicle. it's designed to be a vehicle that has an eye-catching presence, a vehicle that owners would be proud to own and drive.'
The nissan 'kicks' concept stays true to the company's brand identify by incorporating signature elements such as the V-motion grille, boomerant lights, energetic surfacing and the recent floating roof – that lightens up the cabin. the automobile's name intends to express its combination of agility, athletic attitude, youthfulness and its tough demeanor.
Speaking about the choices of color for kicks, NDA-rio chief designer robert bauer said, 'gray is an extremely popular color in brazil, reflecting the seriousness and sophistication of the urban community. so the kicks concept features a superfine finish we call liquid satin titanium'. he continued, 'but we also wanted the vehicle to express the pop and drama that makes life special, so we brushed the kicks concept with bold strokes of rich, deep rio sunset orange on the roof, wheels and other accent areas.'
'brazil has a mix of people and cultures that blends a range of styles, flavors and tastes,' explains nissan's executive design director, mamoru aoki. 'in developing the kicks concept, we sought to create a design that is both aspirational yet attainable – a vehicle that is rugged enough to handle the reality of brazilian back roads but that is sporty, sophisticated and business-like with year-round utility.'
'where the stance of the nissan frontier pickup might be compared to a power lifter and the nissan GT-R to a world-class sprinter, the kicks concept is more like a brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter – coiled for action and precise in every movement,' explained Aoki.

: : Hi, I'm using TWebbrowser to access a intranet site so I can automate a web application. My problem is that after entering in some data and activating the submit button, the app then displays a confirmation modal dialog box asking if I want to continue, to which the possible answers are Yes or No. Of course my Delphi app halts until the dialog box has been closed. I am unable to make any change to the way the web app functions. My quesiton is, how am I able to control this dialog box and select Yes when my program is effectively halt due to the modal dialog box?
: 1. Is the confirmation dialog box displayed in the TWebbrowser, i.e. is it a web page that contains a form?
: 2. Do you have to enter the text "yes" or "no", followed by clicking a submit button? Or: do you simply have to click button YES or button NO?
1. I believe that the dialog box is part of the web page confirmation of data change as it is certainly not part of my coding.
2. The dialog has only the two buttons YES or NO so a button click will be needed.

Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma (Baronius Press Hardcover) quantity
Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma has been considered as the definitive single volume summary of Catholic dogmatic theology ever since its original publication in German in 1952. This great work by Ludwig Ott presents a comprehensive yet concise outline of the entire system of Catholic doctrine, laying out its sources in Scripture and Tradition as taught by the Magisterium of the Church. The level of authority behind each doctrinal point is indicated and there are frequent references to the teachings of Fathers, Doctors and numerous Saints of the Church.
This definitive work of dogmatics is presented in a language that is both academically rigorous and accessible to laymen. Whilst written for study purposes it is suitable to anyone who wants to go beyond the basics in understanding the faith.
The new edition of the Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma by Baronius Press is based on the original translation by Dr. Patrick Lynch. It has been fully revised and updated and brings the language into greater harmony with current usage.
Ludwig Ott was born in Neumarkt-St. Helena, Germany in 1906. He was ordained a priest in 1930 and received his doctorate in 1936 after studying under Martin Grabmann, one of the 20th century's greatest authorities on medieval scholasticism. That same year he became a professor of dogmatics in the Catholic University of Eichstätt, rising to full professor in 1941. From 1960 to 1962 he served as the university's rector. His studies in the field of dogmatics and the history of scholasticism made him eminently qualified to write the Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma. He also wrote works on the history of medieval spirituality and theology and on the Sacrament of Holy Orders. Ludwig Ott died in Eichstätt in 1985.

A Leak Prosecution That Didn't Happen
By Steven Aftergood • June 28, 2018
Government prosecutors have been aggressively pursuing suspected leakers of classified information:
Reality Winner, accused of disclosing a document "information relating to the national defense" to a news outlet, changed her plea this week from "not guilty" to "guilty."
Former FBI agent Terry J. Albury likewise pleaded guilty last April to unauthorized retention and disclosure of national defense information.
Former Senate Intelligence Committee security officer James A. Wolfe was indicted this month for allegedly lying to the FBI in the course of a leak investigation.
And also this month, Joshua Adam Schulte was indicted for allegedly disclosing national defense information to a certain "organization that purports to publicly disseminate classified, sensitive, and confidential information."
But not every leak results in an official leak investigation. And not every leak investigation produces a suspect. Nor is every leak suspect prosecuted.
In its latest semi-annual report, the Office of the Intelligence Community Inspector General describes one recent case of an acknowledged leaker of classified information who was allowed to resign without prosecution.
The IC Inspector General "substantiated allegations that an ODNI cadre officer disclosed classified information without authorization, transmitted classified information via unauthorized means, and disclosed classified information to persons not authorized to receive it."
"During a voluntary interview, the ODNI cadre officer admitted to transmitting classified information over unclassified (internet) email to recipients not authorized to receive classified national security information."
But the matter was resolved outside of the criminal justice system.
"The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia declined prosecution. The officer, who was retirement eligible, retired before termination," the IC IG report said.
No other details about the episode were disclosed. But the case illustrates that a variety of responses to leak incidents are available to the government short of criminal prosecution.
A House bill to authorize intelligence spending for FY 18 and 19 (HR 6237), introduced yesterday, would require expanded reporting to Congress on unauthorized disclosures of classified information.

Avoiding Negative Values when Calculating the Number of Days between Two Dates in Microsoft Excel 2010
In this article you'll learn, how to avoid negative values while calculating the number of days between two dates. We'll use MIN, MAX and DATE function in Microsoft Excel.
To solve this problem Date function will help to return the number that represent the date in Microsoft Excel date time code
MAX function will be return the largest number in a set of values
MIN function will return smallest number in a set of values
Let's take an example,
We want to create a formula to calculate the number of days between each pair of dates in columns A & B, but the formula is never to return a negative value.
Empty cells in column A are to be considered the first day of the year, and empty cells in column B are to be considered the last day of the year.
Follow below given steps:-
Write the formula in cell C2
=MIN(B2,DATE(2014,12,31))-MAX(A2,DATE(2014,1,1))
The function will return 105
Copy the same formula using Ctrl+C and paste in the range C3:C4 by using
In this way, we can avoid the negative values while calculating the number of days between two dates in Microsoft Excel.
