Blink-182

Em 1998 Travis Barker iniciou uma turnê com a sua banda, The Aquabats, e nessa turnê o Blink-182 também estava presente. Após alguns conflitos internos de Mark Hoppus e Tom DeLonge, (intgrantes do Blink-182) com o baterista original do Blink, Scott Raynor, o mesmo decidiu sair da banda, alegando que queria estudar e se formar, mas fontes dizem que a banda teve um problema com Scott, pelo forte consumo de bebidas. Scott desapareceu durante a turnê e a banda precisou de outro baterista para substituí-lo por um concerto. Travis então foi chamado para tocar no lugar de Scott Raynor, ele tinha que aprender a tocar as canções rápido, mas ele aprendeu todas canções em cerca de uma hora, e tocou todas naquela noite. Mas como é difícil dedicar-se à duas bandas com agendas totalmente diferentes, Travis Baker optou pelo Blink-182, pois era uma banda muito mais famosa e naquele ano já tinha grandes sucessos como "Dammit" e "Josie". Graças a sua grande habilidade na bateria, Tom DeLonge, guitarrista e vocalista, e Mark Hoppus, baixista e vocalista o aceitaram na banda.

Com ele, o Blink-182 decolou lançando 3 álbuns de estúdio que fizeram muito sucesso. O álbum Enema Of The State, lançado em 1999 fez com que eles alcançassem fama mundial. Depois lançaram outro álbum que fez muito sucesso no mundo todo, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. Por último, o álbum de mesmo nome da banda, o Blink-182, lançado em 2003, álbum esse que mostrou uma fase mais madura da banda. Em 2005, após sete anos como baterista do Blink-182 a banda estava se separando, porém, os integrantes do grupo se reuniriam novamente, em fevereiro de 2009, com planos de voltar aos palcos e estúdios de gravação.

Projetos paralelos e atuações fora do mundo musical

Travis Barker sempre deixou bem claro que gosta de vários gêneros musicais além do punk rock, especialmente o hip hop. Em uma entrevista a MTV em 2002 ele disse: «Eu provavelmente escuto mais hip hop e drum and bass do que punk rock…» Não demorou para ele explorar esses interesses fora do Blink-182, participando de vários projetos paralelos enquanto esteve no Blink-182, incluindo Box Car Racer, Transplants entre outros.

O Box Car Racer foi um projeto com o guitarrista e vocalista do Blink-182, Tom DeLonge. Esse projeto resultou em um álbum auto-titulado, o Box Car Racer. Tom DeLonge disse que perguntou para Travis Barker se queria tocar, assim ele não teria que procurar uma baterista. Isso sempre gerou comentários, pois achavam que o Blink-182 tinha acabado quando esse projeto foi iniciado, pois o outro integrante do Blink-182, Mark Hoppus participou em apenas uma canção do projeto.

Já o Transplants é uma mistura de hip hop e punk rock. Eles lançaram dois álbuns, com participação de outros artistas. No primeiro, do ano de 2002 foi alto-titulado, o Transplants e no segundo em 2005 se chama Haunted Cities, que foi gravado pela LaSalle Records. Depois de participar do Warped Tour em 2005 os integrantes resolveram em acabar por ali, isso foi confirmado por Tim Armstrong, ex-membro do grupo, em uma entrevista em 2006.

Travis Barker também trabalhou nos álbuns do Black Eyed Peas, Pink e Pharrell Williams. Ele aparece também no álbum de Bun B, Trill, de 2005, em uma faixa bônus com Skinhead Rob, um ex-companheiro de Transplants. Em 2006 ele trabalhou em um álbum do T.I. e tocou bateria em algumas faixas do álbum de Avril Lavigne, e fez um remix da canção "Umbrella" em parceria com Rihanna.

No final de 2006 ele lançou o primeiro álbum de sua nova banda, o +44, com Mark Hoppus, também se juntou à Paul Wall e Rob Aston para formar o Expensive Taste.

Fez o remix da canção "Crank That", do Soulja Boy, essa versão teve uma boa aceitação do público. Recentemente ele fez outro remix, dessa vez da canção "Low", do Flo-Rida, entre outros projetos.

Em 2008 fez a bateria da canção "Dope Boys", faixa em que conta com o vocal do rapper The Game, e fez também a bateria da canção "Don´t Touch Me", canção do rapper Busta Rhymes.

Em 2009 fez um "remix" de uma canção do rapper Eminem, chamada "3.a.m", fez a bateria da canção "The One" com o grupo Slaughterhouse, e "remixou" também a canção "Forever", cantada originalmente por três rappers, Drake, Lil Wayne e Eminem.

Em 2010, foi o baterista no concerto de Eminem, em Los Angeles. Em 2014, defendeu no twitter um apoio mais direto na defesa dos cristãos na Síria no momento em que ocorreu uma zona de exclusão aérea na Síria e no Iraque contra o Estado Islâmico.

Em 2014 fez uma participação especial no videoclipe do single I Really Don't Care da cantora e atriz Demi Lovato.

Em 2015 lançou um livro de memórias chamado Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating, and Drums, Drums, Drums ainda sem tradução para o português.

Em 2017, entrou para  banda Goldfinger, com a qual já gravou o álbum The Knife.
Travis também participou também do EP "Live Fast Die Whenever", da dupla de rap americana $uicideBoy$.

em 2019 colaborou no Álbum de Machine Gun Kelly chamado Hotel Diablo e em 2020 no Álbum Tickets to my Downfall .

Em 2020 colaborou no Single "All of Me" do Álbum "Carry On" da The Score .

Álbum solo
Travis Barker lançou seu primeiro álbum solo no dia 15 de março de 2011. "Give The Drummer Some" mistura a sonoridade punk com hip hop e conta com participações de Yelawolf, Lil' Wayne, Ludacris, Kid Cudi, Rick Ross, Slaughterhouse, Steve Aoki, Kurupt, Corey Taylor, do Slipknot, RZA, Raekwon e Tom Morello, do Rage Against the Machine.

Barker já estava gravando seu álbum solo quando sofreu um acidente de avião em 2008. "Sinceramente, eu achava que nunca terminaria esse álbum. Durante algum tempo, fiquei apenas me recuperando. Ninguém pensava que eu poderia tocar bateria depois de todas as cirurgias. Mas isso ficou sempre na minha cabeça. Depois que entrei no estúdio, pensei, 'Eu posso andar agora, eu ainda posso tocar bateria. Preciso terminar isso'", revelou o baterista. Para se recuperar do acidente, Barker passou por 16 cirurgias e quase teve que amputar um pé.

O primeiro single lançado foi "Can a Drummer Get Some", que conta com vocais de Game, Lil' Wayne, Rick Ross e Swizz Beatz.

Mundo dos negócios
Travis Barker tem uma série de negócios ligados ao seus interesses musicais. Em 1999 ele fundou a Famous Stars and Straps, uma grande linha de roupas e acessórios ligados ao skate e as ruas. Ele disse que escolheu o logo da marca, um F, pois se parecia muito com um logo de um automóvel, mas também pelo fato de não poder ter um.

Também fundou a LaSalle Records, gravadora que assinou com sua própria banda, Transplants. Também se arriscou no mundo gastronômico com o restaurante Wahoo's Fish Taco, que localiza-se em Norco, Califórnia.

Desenvolveu um tênis com a marca DC Shoes batizado de remix, fez parcerias com a Orange Country Drum and Percussion e com a Zildjian, onde desenvolveu uma linha de produtos com o seu nome.

No dia 20 de setembro de 2010, Travis Barker lançou o primeiro single de seu álbum solo, chamado Jump Down.

Tatuagens

Sua primeira tatuagem foi a palavra bones (em português: ossos), um apelido que ele teve na adolescência por ser muito magro. Outra é a frase self made (em português: auto feito) de 2000, tatuada em seus dedos, ele disse que não teve a ajuda de ninguém para conseguir tudo que tem hoje e por isso a fez. Ele tem alguns desenhos religiosos por ter tido uma criação católica. Ele tem Jesus em seu braço esquerdo, mãos orando em sua cabeça, mas só é visível com o cabelo raspado, e também tem um Sagrado Coração. Ele fez algumas tatuagens para mostrar seu amor por carros, principalmente por Cadillacs, duas bandeiras quadriculadas em seu pescoço com o número 66, que simboliza o modelo de seu Cadillac preferido. Tem o logo da Cadillac no meio de seus peitos, a palavra Cadilllac em suas costelas, entre outras.

Grande parte de suas tatuagens são dedicadas ao seu amor por música, como a frase Can I Say, nome do primeiro álbum da banda Dag Nasty, um microfone, baquetas e notas musicais e uma Boom Box em seu abdômen pelo seu amor por hip hop desde criança. A tatuagem com a palavra hope (em português: esperança) em suas costas é de uma canção dos Descendents, a esperança é que deu forças para ele após a morte de sua mãe. Outro tributo aos Descendents é o nome de um álbum deles, I Don't Want to Grow Up (em português: Eu não Quero Crescer).

Barker tem uma série de tatuagens dedicada a família, uma com a frase escrita família, um coração com flores japonesas onde está escrito mom (em português: mãe), e outro coração com uma faixa escrita Shanna. Teve o nome de sua ex-mulher, Melissa, tatuado em seu pescoço, e tem o nome de seus dois filhos e de uma filha de Shanna Moakler, mas que Travis Barker considera como filha em baixo da palavra hope, além do nome de seu filho, Landon, em seu pulso.

Travis considera seu braço direito como um amuleto da sorte, tatuou ali vários objetos que para trazer muita sorte, como um baralho, dados, cifrão, um pé de coelho, uma taça, o demônio da Black Label Skateboard, uma teia de aranha em seu cotovelo, o número 7 e também uma caveira com o número 13 em seus olhos (o número 13 é considerado um número da sorte na cultura das tatuagens).

Travis Barker tem uma frase escrita ao redor de seu pescoço dizendo Chaos Often Breeds Life, When Order Breeds Habit, essa frase pode ser encontrada também no encarte do álbum de estúdio da banda Box Car Racer.

Ele disse uma vez ao comentar o seu grande números de tatuagens que ele tatuou todo o corpo com a intenção de não ter um trabalho normal, e sim trabalhar com música. Segundo ele, já foi gasto mais de $30.000,00 em tatuagens…

Acidente de avião
Em 20 de setembro de 2008, Travis Barker sofreu um grave acidente de avião, em Columbia, na Carolina do Sul. Ao lado de ex-Crazy Town, Adam Goldstein, (mais conhecido como DJ AM) ele foi um dos dois sobreviventes da queda do Learjet 60, que matou a piloto Sarah Lemmon, o co-piloto James Bland, seu agente Chris Baker e seu segurança pessoal Charles Still. Mesmo ele já prosseguindo normalmente com a sua vida pessoal e com os seus concertos musicais,  ele não viaja mais em aeronaves, tendo já explicado ter ficado com traumas e ter medo de subir em uma novamente. Em 2012 Travis teve que viajar de navio para fazer uma turnê Europeia.

Alice came to intern for our Internal Communications Team and tells us all about her experience.
My Name is Alice, I'm 20 and have just finished my first year at the University of Bristol studying History. I wasn't really sure what kind of job I was interested in after I graduated, which is why I felt that I should focus on things I enjoyed and my strengths such as writing, research and communication. History doesn't directly lead on to the type of job I was interested in, but I am very passionate about the subject and thought it'd be a strong foundation to launch my career from.
What made you apply for an internship?
I had a part time job in my first year at Uni, in a chain of Jigsaw so knew that I enjoyed retail and it was an area I could go into. I was browsing careers pages of department stores in London to get ideas about what I might like to do in terms of graduate opportunities and internships and I found the Harrods careers page and the Internal Communications Internship and knew I had to go for it.
How did you apply for the internship?
I applied with my CV and cover letter. Then I did a video interview which had pre-recorded questions and then after that I was offered an interview in person with the internal communications managers.
"Be passionate in your interview and really let your personality shine through because they want someone who can hopefully fit into the team and enjoy their time there."
I would also say that its worth doing your research about the store, just facts about it or any of its latest new to show you're interested. If you have time even put together some ideas about what you would do if you already worked there e.g what you would include in the employee newsletter, what you would include and why, because it shows you've put real thought into your interview and what they expect from you.
Typically I start my day by reading over emails. I was given responsibility to look after features such as movers and shakers and Exceptional service stars. The internal communication team will also send me any tasks they think I can work on over the period of the day including writing up and posting Omnia and Omniapp stories.
Over the 3 month period of my internship I posted 97 Omnia stories, so I've been given the opportunity to write up daily store updates, anything from fashion collaborations to CHS exercise classes available to employees. These articles are read all over the business so it's quite a lot of responsibility and over the internship I've seen a considerable improvement in my writing skills though the internal comms team have always been there to check over my work and make sure it's up to scratch.
Whilst being at Harrods I was given the exciting opportunity to work on the new Harrods employee magazine which is launching this winter. I was given three pieces to work on over the course of my internship and they will all be included in the final magazine. This showed me what kind of work goes into a project from its start to its finish. One of my articles involved finding information about Christmas venues so I had to get in contact with them and explain my brief and what I needed from them. Another one of articles required interviews and quotes from employees in the store, so often I could be found walking round the store convincing people to be included in the feature with their comments.
"It really increased my confidence talking to new people as I was doing it so much and I feel real sense of pride having seen it all come together at the end."
Some days I would attend meetings with the internal comms team discussing a plan of action for the launch of a new communications platform or something important that needed to use multiple communication channels. Because of this I was lucky enough to meet and network with some of the most influential and respected people within the business, even presenting my magazine articles that I put together and being able to contribute to discussion without feeling out of place.
As part of the internal events element of my internship I was able to go along to meeting with venues who would be hosting future employee events, which was a really fascinating and again taught me about the amount of preparation that goes into organising such large scale employee gatherings.
Other than all these exciting opportunities and responsibilities I was given where I really felt like I contributed to the team ( I wasn't a coffee slave) I also got to experience working in a 9-5 job in London, working towards deadlines and working within a team- all of which I've never experienced before on this scale or influence. I would definitely recommend other undergraduates and students to apply for this or similar internships as I think they really make the most of you and give you a chance to prove your worth to the business.

If you look closely at certain majestic oak trees that cover St. Simons Island, it's possible to find one gazing back at you. Either peering out from the trunk (in-between two huge branches) or from the stub of a long-vanished branch, you may see the unmistakable image of a weathered face. These are the Tree Spirits of St. Simons Island. Legend has it that the images immortalize the countless sailors who lost their lives at sea aboard the mighty sailing ships that were once made from St. Simons Island oak.

Although The Cribs are referred to as a mausoleum, the structure was actually used as a sand and gravel hopper. It is rumored that one of the former tunnels of The Cribs was used as an illegal casino. Today, the structure serves no real purpose, but adventurous swimmers like to use it as a diving platform and scuba divers love exploring this fascinating piece of history.

Online gambling is one of the most popular forms of entertainment that the internet has brought, and is fast becoming the entertainment of choice for millions of people around the globe. There are millions of online casinos operating today, and currently 1500 different types, with each one offering much better odds than the standard casinos and plenty more bonuses. Market competition is fierce so freebies and offers to draw in new players are plentiful.
Online gambling is completely safe, convenient and simple. It requires only a PC or laptop and no technical knowledge at all. Any software to be downloaded will usually come with detailed, step-by-step instructions and be available completely free of charge. Most players are looking for online casinos that guarantee safety and security for their money, so this is assured, but online casinos are relying on word of mouth for advertising, so there is never a shortage of bonuses, freebies and games with excellent odds. Online casinos are audited by accounting firms that are particularly interested in fairness in gambling. This ensures the safety of online casinos and, in fact, makes them much safer than the 'real' casinos.
One drawback with online gambling, however, is that your winnings are not immediately in your hand. This is a drawback that is unavoidable, of course, but the safety of your winnings in guaranteed by one of many secure payment options. Some online casinos pay by cheque, others by wire transfer or some other method, but all online casinos guarantee the security of your money, and many promise to deliver within a very short space of time.
Before betting any of your money, learn the ways of the casino. Many people take gambling very seriously and will ensure that they know the casino www.netticasinot24fi.com, the game and the odds inside out. Do your best to learn the same and ensure that you don't fall foul of some simple mistake. Don't be overwhelmed by the huge selection of games, odds and wagers – start simple, learn everything you can and work your way up. All online casinos will offer free, no-wager games and these are an excellent place to start playing.
A good way to start your education is to study the terms and conditions of your chosen online casino. Most online casinos have quite similar terms, but it's good to be certain. Each of the games at the online casino will be markedly different from the rest. Don't be fooled by apparent similarities! Make sure you study the rules of each game before you lay down any of your money. There are enough chances to lose without doing so out of ignorance! Familiarize yourself with all the terms, rules and pay outs for each game that you play. And remember the golden rule: always play for fun. Playing only to win can make you tense and break your concentration, you can begin to panic and make 'stress decisions' when you lose or get a bad hand. Stay calm, have fun, and consider your money spent on the buzz. Any winnings are a bonus.


For purposes of explanation, let us use an example / fictitious Medicare Part D beneficiary: "Thomas" who is newly eligible for the Medicare Part D plans (his seven month window is November 2018 through May 2019) and does not have any other creditable prescription drug coverage.
- The Amount of the Premium Penalty. It appears that if our Medicare beneficiary Thomas (who does not fall within one of several special classes of exceptions defined by CMS) waits until after the close of his initial Open Enrollment deadline (May of 2019), he may be subject to a minimum of a 6% premium penalty because the next annual Open Enrollment period (or Annual Coordinated Election Period) does not begin until October 15, 2019 and runs until December 7, 2019.
- When Your Medicare Part D Coverage Begins. In addition to the increased premium penalty, it is possible that if Thomas waits until after May 2019, not only will he be subject to several months of the 1% monthly premium penalty, but Thomas also will not receive any Medicare Part D coverage before January 1, 2020. In other words, after his May 2019 deadline, Thomas cannot enroll in a Medicare Part D program until the next Open Enrollment that begins again on October 15 and coverage first starts in January of the next year.

A family of musicians, four generations and counting, from Aberdeen, Mississippi.
They grew up playing on the banks of the Tombigbee River, writing songs about what they saw: the backlash to desegregation, poverty, Civil Rights.

In 1975, when they wrote their first songs together, they had one question on their minds:
When Do We Get Paid?
Edward Brown / Photo by Eliza Grace Martin
"We were so strange and we were so young," said Edward Brown, a singer in the Staples Jr. Singers, "and a lot of people didn't understand that."
The Staples Jr. Singers were part of a vanguard of soul gospel artists in the 1970s that broke from tradition to testify with the groove, writing songs that were stone cold soul. Like many gospel acts of the time, they were a family band: Annie, A.R.C., and Edward Brown from Aberdeen, Mississippi. They were just teenagers when they started, building a reputation playing school talent shows and front yards in tow.
Every weekend they would pile into their family van and travel across the Bible Belt, performing sometimes as many as three shows in a single day. Back then, the South was desegregated on paper but not always in practice, and the Staples Jr. Singers weren't always sure what kind of welcome they would receive—whether a new audience would embrace them, whether local restaurants would serve them.
Edward remembers one trip to a small town outside of Birmingham, where the band tried to get a bite to eat before their program started. "We couldn't understand," he said. "We sat there and waited. Everybody who came in would step before us. And finally there was a lady there, she came to us and said, 'They gave me the message to tell y'all we're not gonna feed y'all. Y'all are going to have to leave here.'" But there was a little store down the road that sold us some cold cuts. We went on to that store and God made that food taste just as good as that restaurant."
When the Staples Jr. Singers put out When Do We Get Paid in 1975, they drew inspiration straight from their lives. "Those songs had the meaning of some of the things that we were going through," Annie said.
Forty years, three generations, and countless performances later, the original members of the Staples Jr. Singers are still on the gospel circuit, performing almost every weekend at local churches.
While they've written an entire catalog of gospel music since 1975's When Do We Get Paid, for the Jrs., the incantatory funk of this music still holds the power to help make a way out of dark and troubled times.
"I can be a witness," Annie said, "Back then you could feel it. You were basing it on yourself. These are the songs that are really going to take us over."

Q: Creating in an infinite loop using setTimeout I'm trying to figure out how I can restart my loop after reaches the last item of the list. Basically it passes the class active to the next sibling every 3s. How can I make it pass to the first item on the list once it reaches the last item.
I was thinking maybe if I could have use if/else instead of for loop in my program

$(document).ready(function() {

 function durationSlider() {
     var listItems = $('.loop ul li').length;

  for(count=0; count <= listItems - 1; count++ ) {

            (function(count) {
                setTimeout(function() {
     $('.loop ul li.active').removeClass('active');
     $('.loop ul li:eq(' + count +   ')').addClass('active');
     console.log(count);
                }, 3000 * count);
            }(count));
  }
 }

 durationSlider();

})

A: I would use setInterval instead of a for loop with setTimeout. Inside the interval we can add an if condition to reset the count when it reaches the end of your list.

$(document).ready(function() {

function durationSlider() {
    var listItems = $('.loop ul li').length;
    var count = 0;

    setInterval(function() {
        $('.loop ul li.active').removeClass('active');
        $('.loop ul li:eq(' + count +   ')').addClass('active');
        console.log(count);

        count += 1;
        if (count >= listItems) {
            count = 0;
        }
    }, 3000);

}

durationSlider();

})

Yosef Kleinman, Holocaust Survivor, Will Never Forget
Yosef Kleinman, 82, Auschwitz-Birkenau survivor, is among the few remaining to give a first-hand testimony of the atrocities of the Holocaust. On Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day Kleinman bestows his legacy to younger generations.
Yosef Kleinman, 82, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Dachau-Kaufering, survivor, is immersed in the events that shook his life. He seizes every opportunity to tell his personal story so that others will never forget. Jerusalem, Israel. 17-Apr-2012.
Yosef Kleinman, arrested by the Germans in the Carpathian Mountains region in Hungary in 1944 at the age of 14, was imprisoned in Auschwitz-Birkenau with his parents, 11 year-old sister and 15 year-old brother. "When I was inspected for selection, the German officer hesitated where to send me because of my age. He finally selected me for work. That was the last time I saw my parents and sister – there at the Auschwitz train station." Kleinman and his brother were selected for work while the rest of the family selected for immediate death. "We were in a group of 3,000 youths that summer in Auschwitz. Dr. Mengele exterminated 1,000 of us at Rosh Hashanah and another 1,000 on the Eve of Yom Kippur. We had to get out!"
Yosef Kleinman, 82, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Dachau-Kaufering, survivor, displays his prisoner uniform from the Dachau-Kaufering camp. He takes pride in documentation of the Holocaust through saved relics from the past. Jerusalem, Israel. 17-Apr-2012.
With great ingenuity and a good dose of luck Kleinman and his brother managed to sneak out on a transport to Landsberg-Kaufering camps near Dachau where they were force-labored to build shell-proof bunkers to serve the Luftwaffe for a secret Messerschmitt ME-262 twin jet fighter plane development project. "Our dream was to get work. We thought that working would guarantee our lives. But conditions were terrible. There was no hot water to wash and the cement stuck to our faces. I did my best to clean myself and preserve my self-dignity. Eventually the camp was turned into a camp for the sick and dying and my brother and I both became sick, but we knew that whoever lay down sick would never get up." Symbolically inline with the theme of this year's Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day – 'My Brother's Keeper': "I survived thanks to my brother. He wouldn't let me give up hope. I was one of the youngest in the camp. We were lucky. We were very alert and agile and took advantage of opportunities." Liberated from Kaufering by Americans in April 1945 the Kleinman brothers became refugees wandering through Italy carrying passports marked 'political prisoner'.
Yosef Kleinman, 82, Holocaust survivor, speaks before a packed hall at the Bereshit (Genesis) Synagogue on the eve of Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day, bestowing his legacy to younger generations. Bet-Shemesh, Israel. 18-Apr-2012.
The Kleinmans were able to board the "Four Freedoms" illegal immigration (Ha'apala – Hebrew: ascension) boat from Bocca di Magra, Italy, to Palestine in August 1946, carrying nothing more than a worn rucksack with a few personal belongings. Boarding took place under the cover of darkness in order not to be discovered as 1,024 Holocaust survivors were taxied out to sea on a small motor boat to climb aboard the "Four Freedoms" on a rope-ladder. The British Navy intercepted the boat, named for Roosevelt's famous "Four Freedoms" speech, after eleven days at sea, just 30 miles off the coast of Tel-Aviv. Passengers put up a tough fight that lasted three hours but were finally defeated. The Kleinmans were imprisoned for six months in Cyprus, before finally arriving to Palestine, only to be imprisoned once again by the British in the Atlit detainee camp, established to prevent Jewish refugees from entering Palestine. After one month they were freed to begin a new life.
Silhouette of Yosef Kleinman, 82, Holocaust survivor, as a movie clip is projected of his 1961 testimony in the trial of Adolph Eichmann, at the Bereshit Synagogue on the eve of Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day. Bet-Shemesh, Israel. 18-Apr-2012.
In 1961 Yosef Kleinman was one of 110 witnesses to testify on behalf of the prosecution in the Jerusalem trial that condemned Adolf Eichman, to death by hanging (Nazi Lieutenant Colonel in charge of mass deportation of Jews to ghettos and extermination camps in German-occupied Eastern Europe, captured by Mossad agents in Argentina in 1960).
Yosef Kleinman will never forget. He is wholly immersed in the events that shook his life and the lives of millions of Jews throughout Europe. He seizes every opportunity to tell his personal story so that others will never forget. On the eve of Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day Kleinman speaks before the congregation of Bereshit (Hebrew: Genesis) Synagogue in the town of Bet-Shemesh, focusing his attention to the youth in the audience, many of who have visited the concentration camps in Europe.
Kleinman is afforded a great honor in laying a flower wreath on behalf of survivors of Dachau-Kaufering-Landsberg at Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in the main Wreath-Laying Ceremony on Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day in the presence of President Shimon Peres, Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu and many other dignitaries, accompanied by, and taking great pride in, his IDF-serving grandson.
Yosef Kleinman, 82, lays a wreath on behalf of survivors of Dachau-Kaufering-Landsberg at Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum on Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day, accompanied by his IDF-serving grandson. Jerusalem, Israel. 19-Apr-2012.

Maryland Plaintiff Seeks New Trial on Appeal of Alleged Police Battery Case
October 5, 2021 | by Foran & Foran, P.A.
When bringing a legal action in Maryland, it is important that the initial filing, known as the Complaint, contain all of the allegations that are relevant and essential to the claims asserted. In a May 4, 2021 personal injury case, the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland considered whether a trial court properly excluded testimony of material facts that were not specifically alleged in the Complaint. The plaintiff had brought the action against two police officers, alleging claims for battery, negligence, and punitive damages, among others.
The plaintiff in the case had been involved in a motor vehicle accident and was waiting at a nearby gas station with the other driver as law enforcement arrived. One of the responding officers, allegedly smelling marijuana and alcohol, conducted a search of the plaintiff. Although details of the ensuing altercation between the officer and the plaintiff were disputed, it ultimately resulted in the plaintiff being tasered, arrested, and charged with several crimes, which were later dropped by the state attorney.
In a deposition before trial, the plaintiff stated that he was kicked and punched, in addition to being tasered. When the plaintiff testified as to the same allegations at trial, the defense objected. The trial court granted the objection, finding that the testimony was irrelevant insofar as such acts were not alleged in the Complaint. After the jury found for the defendants, the plaintiff appealed.
In order to recover punitive damages in any Maryland tort action, facts sufficient to show actual malice must be pled. In the instant case, the plaintiff requested punitive damages in his Complaint and also pled to the use of taser as evidence of battery and excessive force, but failed to include details of being punched and kicked. On appeal, the plaintiff argued that he should have been allowed to testify about the physical blows because the defendants were on notice of those allegations through his deposition.
The appeals court concluded that, although the defendants may have been aware of the allegations, failing to include them in the Complaint did not provide adequate notice to the defendants that the plaintiff sought to introduce such evidence to prove actual malice for punitive damages. Because those allegations were essential to punitive damages, the court held that they should have been pled in accordance with Maryland law.
The court went on to find that, even if the trial court erred by excluding the testimony, the error was harmless because it did not provide any clarity as to who inflicted the battery and excessive use of force on the plaintiff. Without being able to attribute the acts to either defendant, the court concluded it was unlikely that the jury verdict would have changed in favor of the plaintiff.

The predominantly rural New York 23rd Congressional District, with its beautiful natural resources, rolling hills, family farms and vineyards, is the jewel of New York State. Its beauty and resources should be preserved. Each county faces its own particular challenges. But they share a common theme: the threat of pollution, fracking, and use as landfill or toxic dumps and incinerator plants for the garbage from downstate. A healthy environment benefits all residents of the District; and a healthy environment will attract tourism, which will benefit our local economy.
Promote fair farm prices for family farmers by eliminating farm subsidies for large corporate farms; and by, in turn, offer grants and low-cost long-term loans to farmers with incentives to develop energy independence that promote energy conservation and the use of biomass to generate energy, especially in moderate-sized dairy farms.
Aide farmers in developing new products such as hemp. And eliminate burdensome regulatory laws that hinder the development and transport of hemp.
Invest in bringing high-speed internet access to the district.
Re-evaluate the property tax system; and redirect tax revenue to a progressive tax based on income rather than a real estate tax for which farmers are particularly vulnerable.
Encourage models of cooperation with local universities and high schools to integrate education.
Develop and provide incentives for introducing farm-to-school lunch programs and encourage the development of local culinary not-for-profits.
Increase access among tribal schools to farm-fresh and traditional foods, especially from tribal producers: Native American communities face disproportionately high rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Encouraging farm-to-school partnerships between tribal schools and tribal producers will increase consumption of nutritious traditional foods while also supporting Native farmers.
The Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE-Tompkins) is a great resource for the District that is enormously helpful, and has even greater potential. It is unique among local organizations in offering a continuum of education and resources that enable it to address the food system in a holistic way. By working at a food-system level, it more effectively responds to cross-cutting needs such as food safety, food access, local agriculture and community infrastructure. It offers resources for farmers and consumers that help strengthen local and regional food systems.
Tompkins County has a vibrant and thriving Community Sponsored Agriculture (CSA) network that provides a living wage to employees, a decent living for farmers, and fresh healthy food for residents. And through its relationship with the CCE-Tompkins, the County also has a program called Healthy Food for All (HFFA) that addresses the needs of local low-income families by making fresh, quality produce accessible to them through CSA shares. In existence since 2006 and now ending hunger for close to 200 families, HFFA is recognized as one of our regions leading community food security programs. Win-win symbiotic relationship such as the one between ours CSAs and HFFA can be promoted throughout the District.

iShell
iShell from Tribeworks is a new cross-platform authoring environment which appears to be a possible replacement for mTropolis or Apple's Media Tool. It might even be a competitor to Macromedia Director. They have a demo version that is available for download. They also have an interesting pricing policy; it's sold as a "membership" for $2,000 a year which provides users with tech support and free updates (for the year.)
I downloaded the demo version, but was disappointed to find that the documentation was limited to a reference manual and some sample files. No tutorial is available. Personally I like tutorials to help me get the "hang" of something. Since I don't have the time at the moment to spend a whole lot of time learning this new tool I've had to content myself with reading the thoughts of others; when you download the trial version you are added to a mailing list for iShell.
There has been a lot of activity on the list; with quite a bit of it relating to price and user perspectives. I think the company thought the list would mainly be for user support issues. Yesterday they changed the list so that subscribers can't automatically post to the list. Messages are now reviewed by a mailing list coordinator.
I read the list for the past few days and personally felt that while there was complaining, I've seen a lot worse on other lists. I think this is no way to endear yourself to skeptical customers.
Anyway, two people have given me permission to reproduce there comments about iShell below. I also have an email from a marketing person at Tribeworks offering their perspective on the tool:
Alberto Tabone at FaceToFace Productions wrote:
As multimedia developers since 1994 coming from the TV and cinema industry, we tried iShell because we feel there is a dangerous lack of modern, professional, easy to use multimedia authoring systems, that run on the Macintosh for cross-platform delivery using QuickTime 3.0 technology.
We don't use Director: we actually hate the software, preferring instead software like ClickWorks, that offer a comfortable and clear authoring environment without compromising too much on power. However, that alone isn't always enough and that's why we looked at iShell, hoping to find a modern tool that combined ease of use with power. Instead, we drowned in the foreign sea of an arcane interface, confusing at best, unable to even set up a basic screen of the likes you get in the very basic samples section.
Our first impressions are:
lack of a project-wide view: no tree view, no individual screens. We more or less understand the metaphor, but we think multimedia is made of screens, not objects. The user goes through a path, and the author needs to lay that ahead for him. Both need to know where they are and where they can go at a particular time, and if the author cannot see that at first glance, it's twice as difficult to implement a proper structure.
the interface is complex: even on a two monitor set-up it is difficult to see enough information about what one is doing. The hierarchy of objects, commands, events etc., all nested within each other, is extremely space consuming and again does not give a good project-wide view.
poor documentation: the reference guide does not include a quick start section so it is difficult to even experiment with basic multimedia.
media referencing: calling media objects with their full path, in internet style, is HORRIBLE. Aside from the fact that names get truncated -- making it impossible to identify media quickly -- it just makes media management more complicated than necessary. Besides, we don't care about the Internet. We make cd-roms. If we wanted to work in HTML-style authoring -- which we think is a primitive way of working -- we would switch to the likes of CyberStudio or PageMill.
Abolishing screens in favor of .k files, with lots of media associated with it, is just a way to confuse project management, and makes big projects hard to design and control. In a typical CD-Rom there are between 50 and 100 screens, are we to substitute that with individual .k files?
interface problems: Why does the program use New and Open... for the .k files, whilst for a project we need to use 'Select'? And once we've done that, .k files and projects get mixed together, so that you don't know what you are working at. And there's no possibility to test run a single .k file, only the whole project. Or is there? We can't even understand what we are testing....
We're concerned that all the samples provided are extremely basic in their nature: is this proof that creating multimedia with iShell is hard and time-consuming?
Fred Bals of Quantic Communications wrote:
Background: I've been a Director user for 5+ years, since the 3.1 days. From an interactive perspective, my company is pretty much a Director shop. My company, creates sales presentations, sales tools, product demos, trade show/seminar presentations, the normal slew of multimedia business collateral. We produce between 20 to 25 of these a year. Everything we do is delivered on the Windows 95/98 NT platform. We do most graphic, sound, and video development work on the Mac, final tweaking and programming on Windows 95. Every year we tend to get more Windows-centric.
Perspective on iShell:
Costs: $2,000 is too much. My opinion is you're falling into the same trap that mFactory fell into. Macromedia just announced Director 7, with an upgrade price of circa $500 per platform. Offer a competitive upgrade to current Director users of $500. Better, sell the software to all customers for $500. I'd consider trying iShell as an alternative to upgrading to 7 at that price point.
Why do I think it's too much? I can make Director do what I want in most circumstances, and can fake it when I can't. I'm not willing to give up the knowledge investment unless the alternative provides a significant advantage.
Documentation: The documentation is poor. The great percentage of all documentation sucks, including Director's, from a usefulness standpoint. However, Macromedia has a large enough user base that there are alternatives to the documentation. I suggest you reconsider your thinking on not having a written tutorial on *using* iShell to produce work, rather than documentation that simply explains functionality. Using your documentation, I didn't find iShell easy to use at all.
Authoring Environment: I've been using the iShell editor under Windows 95 without significant problems, but to hear from Tribeworks that that development environment is not recommended does not inspire me with confidence. Quantic is already supporting two development environments, and I wish it was only one. The last thing I want is another development environment. I wouldn't purchase the software -- even at $500 -- unless I could author under Windows 95/98.
Well, the above aren't exactly promising comments about the tool, and though I am a Director user it's not my intention to pillory the competition (unless it's subconscious.) I did receive the following comments from Marcel Siegle, the Mgr. Marketing Communications at Tribeworks to questions I had sent them.
1) The membership costs $2,000. Do you have to pay 2,000 for the second year to continue using the product, or would you only have to renew for updates and product support?
Yes and no, the Tribeworks membership is more then just iShell. We offer various support to our members. Here are some of the basic services we provide. Members get Win NT and Mac versions of the Editor, which are updated on a continuous basis. They receive the SDK, which gives them access to most of the source code. This way they can develop plug-ins and scripts , in order to customize their applications to their customers needs. They also receive level-1 customer support, which means they have direct access to the engineering team.
If members decide that they don't want to renew their membership, they can still continue using the product. This puts pressure on us to serve our members in the best way possible. There will be other options, besides the $2000 Membership, available soon, so stay tuned !
2) Do you have more information on the authoring environment than is presented at the website (such as screen dumps, specifications etc.)
You can download a trial version for free, we also included documentation (PDF format). You should also check out our press area, I think you will find some of our member's stories quite interesting.
3) Is the authoring environment available for Mac and Windows now, and is it identical?
Yes, you can author on Win NT or Mac and playback on Win 95/98, Win NT and Mac OS. There is no conversion necessary.
4) Do you have any feature comparison information comparing it with products such as Director and mTropolis? What products do you consider your primary competitors.
In a Nut shell: iShell can be best described as a "media manager". It allows for fast and easy cross platform deployment of media rich content. The internet is fully integrated, which means that applications created with iShell can retrieve their media via remote (internet) or localized storage, like CD-Rom or hard drive. Mediums can be mixed and content can be dynamically updated. iShell is very powerful, it allows non-programmers as well as programmers to build complex interactive multimedia applications.
The main difference with our competitors is, that we created an authoring environment that is much more intuitive and will enhance the productivity of multimedia developers.
One of the greatest features of iShell is it's plug-in architecture. Currently some of our members are writing plug-ins that will enhance iShell. As you can imagine this makes iShell extremely responsive to our customers need. This just one of the great advantages of the Tribeworks community.
Here are some quotes from users that Tribeworks supplied:
I spent some time with iShell this weekend and I feel that it may be a viable alternative to mTrop. My company spent a small fortune 2 years ago on mTropolis (20 licenses, training, etc.) and did get somewhat of a payback on the product.
I believe that iShell may be what we're looking for.
"This is incredible. Only a couple of weeks ago I suggested that this (not supporting Wired Sprite movies) was a problem with a sprite based movie I was working on and just like magic, Patrick and company have made this happen. I've never seen such dedication to satisfying potential customers before. You deserve to rule!!
"I've just spent 45 mins in the Editor. What can I say ? WOW. I have been working in mTropolis for the last couple of years and as you know mTropolis users need to look elsewhere for a decent authoring tool. I must say, I'm VERY impressed with iShell. The development speed could even surpass that of mTropolis. Just one major black spot at the moment. The price is also VERY impressive."
"OK, I'm convinced, (I'm stunned!) I don't see how I can live without iShell.

UMass Will Pay $650,000 to Settle Potential HIPAA Violations
"The University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass) has agreed to settle potential violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Privacy and Security Rules stemming from a malware infection back in 2013.
The settlement includes a corrective action plan and a monetary payment of $650,000, which is reflective of the fact that the University operated at a financial loss in 2015, according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights (OCR).
On June 18, 2013, UMass reported to the OCR that a workstation in its Center for Language, Speech, and Hearing was infected with a malware program, which resulted in the impermissible disclosure of electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 1,670 individuals, including names, addresses, social security numbers, dates of birth, health insurance information, diagnoses and procedure codes. The university determined that the malware was a generic remote access Trojan that infiltrated their system, providing impermissible access to ePHI, because UMass did not have a firewall in place, according to the OCR press release."

Circuit City Stores, Inc. (CC) in Discussions Regarding Possible Buyout/Financing
Circuit City Stores, Inc. announced that it is currently in discussions with two interested parties that may either buy the company or provide the funding necessary to keep the electronics retailer in business. "While the company is optimistic that a transaction can be successfully finalized, no assurance can be given that this will occur," the company said in a statement.
Circuit City also stated that sales trends have improved significantly during the last two weeks of December, although overall revenues have been below projections. But the company did say that it has been able to manage expenses and improve gross margin. Circuit City, which had $3.4 billion in assets and $2.32 billion in liabilities as of Aug. 31, said in its initial filings that it planned to emerge from court protection in the first half of 2009.

Q: Any way to avoid or allow division by zero in this line intersection algorithm? I wrote an algorithm to find the intersection between two line segments some time ago.  Coming back to look at it though, I noticed that division by zero is possible in two different places.  It's okay if it does this, from a logical perspective I think, but of course the program crashes if it does so.  This is the algorithm:
class Segment{
    public:

    Vector first, second;

    bool getIntersection(const Segment arg, Vector * intersect = NULL)const{
        Segment segment(b - a, arg.b - arg.a);
        double s, t;

        // These two equations run the risk of division by zero
        s = (-segment.a.y * (a.x - arg.a.x) + segment.a.x * (a.y - arg.a.y))
             / (-segment.b.x * segment.a.y + segment.a.x * segment.b.y);
        t = ( segment.b.x * (a.y - arg.a.y) - segment.b.y * (a.x - arg.a.x))
             / (-segment.b.x * segment.a.y + segment.a.x * segment.b.y);

        if (s > 0.0 && s < 1.0 && t > 0.0 && t < 1.0)
        {
            // Collision detected
            if (intersect != NULL)
            {
                intersect->x = a.x + (t * segment.a.x);
                intersect->y = a.y + (t * segment.a.y);
            }
            return true;
        }
        return false; // No collision
    }

};

Division by zero is possible where s and t are calculated, if the values behind the divisor are (and may likely turn out to be) all zero.  From a geometry perspective, this means the two lines are parallel to each other; parallel lines should never be considered intersecting in this case, even if they overlap perfectly.
Is there a way to allow this function to divide by zero?  Assuming of course, that it would not affect the logic behind the algorithm (anything with NANs or INFs will not result in a collision I think)?  Or is there a better line segment intersection algorithm I should be using instead?

A: I would recommend to compute the two numerators and the denominator separately:
double num1 = (-segment.a.y * (a.x - arg.a.x) + segment.a.x * (a.y - arg.a.y));
double num2 = ( segment.b.x * (a.y - arg.a.y) - segment.b.y * (a.x - arg.a.x));
double denom = (-segment.b.x * segment.a.y + segment.a.x * segment.b.y);

then normalize the denominator to be non-negative:
if (denom < 0) { denom = -denom; num1 = -num1; num2 = -num2; }

and finally check
if (0.0 < num1 && num1 < denom && 0.0 < num2 && num2 < denom) {
    double t = num2 / denom;
    ...
}

This catches not only the "denominator is zero" problem, but avoids also possible
overflow problems if the denominator is very small.

A: If you want to do it programmatically it will be a little difficult, as C++ does not support a divide_by_zero-exception or anything similar.
According to this thread here, it is a hardware-error that is detected and returned to the process by the OS.
QUOTE:
It's not an exception. It's an error which is determined at hardware level and is returned back to the operating system, which then notifies your program in some OS-specific way about it (like, by killing the process).
You could catch it via signal-handlers. A Division by Zero will create a SIGFPE. But this might not be very useful or reliable.

If you want advice on purchasing a pool table, or what kind of cue you should get, or anything in that nature, Len's is the place to go. I've been to a few places over the last few years, some good, and some just straight rude. I know that if you're a beginner, you might be a little shy at first, and might not feel comfortable asking questions you have in your head, and it's a little intimidating when you're talking to pool sharks, or pool "snobs." I bought my first breaking cue from these guys, and I was in the shop for about an hour before I walked out. I asked every question in the book, and not once did I feel like Ruben or his staff members were rude. They were very informative, and made me feel comfortable the entire time. From that point on – I've been buying things left and right, and I always leave with a smile. There's been situations where my girlfriend had to go in and pick up some stuff for me, and she's kind of on the shy side, so it wasn't easy for me to get her to go in for me, but again – these guys made her feel comfortable, and welcomed. I can now say I consider these guys like family – always there to help me/answer any questions I have, and the work they did so far on my table, and viking stick is top notch. Lastly, I was going nuts deciding on what table I should by through Craigslist, because I couldn't afford a new one, and it was down right discouraging. I didn't feel comfortable buying a table unless I talked to Ruben or Jerry about it, and they were always really honest with me, and never made me feel like they were just trying to get me to buy a table from them. Ruben noticed how frustrated/discouraged I was feeling after he told me the tables I found were no good, and it was only going to cost me more in the end, so he made one phone call that saved me from the hell no it is when looking for used tables. We were able to work out a deal, and four days later I had a team come to my house and install the table in less than 4 hours.

Like its sister establishments, Hotel du Vin in Newcastle oozes understated glamour. Its historic home, within the one-time Tyne Tees Steam Ship Company residence on the banks of the Tyne, boasts river views and is a conveniently short walk from the centre of the city. Within this imposing Edwardian building you'll find the occasional nod to its maritime past, through decorative touches such as porthole bathroom windows, ropes and memorabilia.
Bistro du Vin is equally chic, radiating its own unique atmosphere. Dark mahogany, vintage artwork, a warm palette and candlelight combine to create a setting made for the enjoyment of fine wine and fine food. Robust, authentic French cooking is served by knowledgeable staff, and there is even a sommelier on-hand at all times to ensure the perfect complement to your chosen dish. Shetland scallops with sauce vierge can be followed by a perfect steak frites, or a classic cassoulet of white beans, confit duck, smoked Toulouse sausage and pork belly. If you fancy continuing the seafood theme, a bowl of moules marinière – plump mussels steamed with white wine, cream, shallots and garlic – is a hearty and delicious option. There is also a plat du jour adding further choice and a feast for less – Saturday's poached or grilled half lobster with garlic butter, salad and fat-cut chip mustn't be missed. Finish with apple tarte Tatin with crème Normande and you'll have experienced an authentic taste of the Continent in the heart of this exciting British city.

Q: Pivot table for data per hour I want to display a pivot table for the given below records:
I have a table called fooo with the two columns:
create table fooo (
cola varchar(5),
colb time
);

Inserting some records:
insert into fooo values
  ('a','10:00:00'), ('a','10:30:00'), ('b','20:00:00'), ('c','13:00:00')
, ('d','01:00:00'), ('e','10:10:00'), ('f','02:01:00'), ('g','02:20:00')
