Renaissance of the Resistance is an album by American jazz percussionist Kahil El'Zabar and his Ritual Trio, which also includes saxophonist Ari Brown and bassist Malachi Favors. It was recorded in 1993 and released on Delmark.

Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Alex Henderson states "This CD underscores the fact that not all avant-garde jazz is atonal free jazz; on the whole, this is quite musical and melodic."

The Down Beat review by Larry Birnbaum says "Renaissance of the Resistance redefines the mainstream with wry turns, sly nods, and subtle winks, and its nostalgia extends from Africa to the avant garde."

NAFDAC Seals Off Chocolate Royale, Seizes Expired Products From MD's Residence
Lebanese businessman, Amin Moussalli, owns Chocolate Royale. The pricey confectioner and restaurant is a popular stop for well-heeled Nigerians as well as foreign nationals who work for oil or communications firms or as diplomats.
by Sahara Reporters, New York May 23, 2015
Paul Orhil This Day Live
Citing concerns over the alleged use of expired and dangerous products, officials of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) have shut down Chocolate Royale, a high scale establishment in Lagos located at Plot 267A Etim Inyang Crescent on Victoria Island. The company sells confectionaries and food, catering to a clientele drawn from Nigeria's elite and wealthy set as well as privileged expatriates.
In addition, the agency also sealed off the residence of the company's managing director at 1 Karimu Kotun Street, also on Victoria Island, Lagos. Agents thoroughly searched the MD's home and carted away frozen products deemed unsafe for consumption.
In a statement, NAFDAC's spokesman, Anslem Okonkwor, said the agency sealed off Chocolate Royale "for various unethical practices and non-adherence to good manufacturing and hygienic practices."
The agency said it acted on a tip-off that the company was engaged in illegal importation as well as the storage and use of expired ingredients and products to prepare food and confectionaries. According to Mr. Okonkwor, the company was serving unhealthy food "to unsuspecting customers." He added that Chocolate Royale was operating and maintaining illegal cold-rooms at their MD's residence "where large quantities of various expired and spoilt food ingredients worth millions naira were uncovered."
NAFDAC said it had received an "avalanche of complaints of violation and affront of the company to the regulatory body's regulations."
Mr. Okonkwor disclosed that some top officials of the company were arrested and would be interrogated for "willfully obstructing the NAFDAC operatives in [the] course of their duties." He said other officials had gone into hiding.
The agency's statement said its agents seized unsafe products worth more than N1 billion. The products were hauled away in six vans after an operation that lasted close to nine hours.
NAFDAC's director of Investigation and Enforcement, Kingsley Ejiofor, said the seized products would "be sampled and taken to the laboratory for analysis, where the labels and contents will be properly analyzed. And at the end of the day when the results are out, that will determine the next of action."
Mr. Ejiofor, who also serves as the chairman of a federal taskforce on fake and counterfeit drugs, unwholesome processed foods and other regulated products, praised NAFDAC agents for the successful operation at Chocolate Royale "despite the antics and intimidations from the staff of the offending company." He added that the company would remain closed until the investigation is concluded.
NAFDAC's Director-General, Paul Orhii, inspected the seized products at the agency's warehouse in Apapa, Lagos. He said the products were not only expired, but that they should never have come into Nigeria since they were never registered by NAFDAC. Mr. Orhii ordered the investigators to demand the company's goods clearing documents to ascertain whether the unsafe products were legally cleared at the points of entry.
Chocolate Royale is a subsidiary of AIM Group owned by Mr. Moussalli. The Lebanese businessman also owns several broadcast stations including Cool FM, Nigerian Info FM, Wazobia FM, Cool TV, Wee TV and Wazobia TV.

Lågen
river, southeastern Norway
Alternative Title: Numedalslågen
Lågen, also called Numedalslågen, river, southeastern Norway. Rising in the Hardanger Plateau, the Lågen flows generally east and north, then southeast through Numedalen, a valley in Buskerud fylke (county), past Rødberg and Kongsberg, through Vestfold fylke and into the Skagerrak (an arm of the North Sea) at Larvik. With a total length of 209 miles (337 km), it is the third longest river in the country. Near Kongsberg, silver was mined from the early 17th century until the mid-20th century, and the oldest school of mines in the world (founded 1757) is in the town. Above Kongsberg, lumbering and hydroelectric power generation are the main economic resources; below Kongsberg, agriculture becomes important. Larvik is an important lumber-products centre on the southern coast. Small towns in the river valley have many interesting medieval stave churches.

The laws in our country are constantly changing. Recently, Indiana has amended its Medical Malpractice Act to include multiple important updates that impact victims of medical negligence and other parties involved. As one of the state's preeminent medical malpractice law firms, our team here at Langer & Langer has taken a special interest in these changes.
You can get up-to-speed with the updates by reviewing this comprehensive list of the changes that everyone should know. If you have additional questions, or if you need to start a medical malpractice claim in Indiana, we encourage you to contact us online or call us at (219) 464-3246. During a free initial consultation, we can explain how the recent legal changes may impact your case, as well as your rights as someone hurt by the negligence of a doctor or medical technician.
Direct access (I.C. 34-18-8-6): This section of Indiana medical malpractice law is noteworthy because it was one of the few that was not changed with this latest update. Direct access is still $15,000. This means you can sue a qualified healthcare provider in state court without going through the medical review panel proceedings, but only if you do not see damages in an amount greater than $15,000.00.
Medical malpractice recovery cap (I.C. 34-18-14-3): The cap dictating how much the average injured patient can collect in compensation for a medical malpractice claim in Indiana was changed. Claims that accrue between July 1st, 2017 and June 30th, 2019 will be capped at just $1.65 million per injury resulting from an act of medical malpractice. Claims accrued after July 1st, 2019 will have a raised cap at $1.8 million.
Split of cap increase between "front end" HCP and "back end" PCF (I.C. § 34-18-14-3): Cap increases are to be divided between "front end" healthcare provider and "back end," Indiana Patient's Compensation Fund "PCF. Claims accrued between July 1st, 2017 and June 30th, 2019 are subject to a $1,650,000 cap on damages, with the healthcare provider paying the first $400,000 and the Indiana Patient's Compensation Fund paying up to $1,250,000. Claims accrued after July 1st, 2019 are subject to a $1,800,000 cap of damages, with the healthcare provider paying the first $500,000 and the Indiana Patient's Compensation Fund paying up to $1,300,000.
Cap to attorney fees (I.C. 34-18-18-1): Claims impacted by the newly established caps will include an attorney fee cap of up to 32% to the overall recovery.
PCF payout schedule (I.C. 34-18-6-4 and 34-18-2-12.5): Starting on July 1st, 2017, any claim from the PCF must be paid to the plaintiff within 60 days of the court's final judgement or officially approved settlement amount. Payments initializing on day 61 or later are in violation of the law.
Medical review panel fees (I.C. 34-18-10-25): Fees for panel member services are set at $500, up from $350. Chairmen may be compensated up to $2,500, up from $2,000.
Medical Malpractice Act timeline preamble (I.C. 34-18-0.5-1): Starting on July 1st, 2017, Chapter 0.5 Implementation Sec. 1 officially clarifies that all parties involved in a medical malpractice case in Indiana are expected to make an honest effort to stick to legal timelines and be expeditious. Courts are given the power to enforce timelines as they are intended to be fulfilled. Parties found to delay case progress are in violation of the Medical Malpractice Act.
The changes to the Indiana Medical Malpractice Act can be quite complicated for those not well-versed in the law and legalese. If you have questions or concerns regarding these changes, contact Langer & Langer for assistance, guidance, and advocacy. Call (219) 464-3246 for more information.

What are the Legal Repercussions and Harmful Consequences of Domestic Violence Cases?
Did you know that a large number of criminal cases in Canada coming up in the court consisted of cases related to domestic assault and domestic violence? Sadly enough, they have been more than 22,000 cases last year, where people requested help and protection from domestic violence from the law. Our experienced legal team at Thapliyal and Rai are always ready to protect you from the harmful consequences of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and sexual abuse. We are also going to give you the right advice on how you can prevent this abuse from influencing your life, health and psyche now and in the future.
Saying "sorry, I won't do it again" is definitely not enough. Many people who assault and traumatize their family members, including their spouses and children apologize after a while. They are then forgiven and the family keeps quiet about such abuse, to keep the peace in the family and to prevent other people from knowing that they are the victims of this silent and continuous assault and battery.
Children brought up in such an atmosphere are going to grow up believing this to be a normal way of life. They are also going to be mentally and physically scarred and their emotional well-being is going to suffer. An abused child is always going to grow up to be an emotionally disturbed adult. They are then going to treat their spouses and children in such a manner in the future. This madness needs to be stopped right now and it can only be done when such matters are brought to the notice of the law.
Do you know that a large number of children undergoing domestic abuse from their family members hide this from their friends, teachers and acquaintances. Domestic abuse signs are explained away as "I fell down the stairs" or "I fell while playing in the park." Thus, the abuser gets plenty of scope to continue with his unforgivable activity because he can get away with it and nobody is going to stop him.

Q: Updated query in nested JSON with Postgres removes data I have this JSON doc

        },
        "address": {

      "created_on": {
        "$date": "2018-02-01T01:56:29.627Z"
      }
    }

I need to change the first_name value but my queries simply remove data related to that name. So, my queries get executed successfully but end up removing data instead of updating it.
I tried the following two queries and both give me the same results
   UPDATE restaurants
SET info = jsonb_set('{"reviews":["person"]}', '{"first_name"}', '"Vedat"', true)
WHERE info ->'reviews'-> 0 -> 'person' ->> 'first_name' = 'John'

UPDATE restaurants
SET info = info::jsonb - 'first_name' || '{"reviews":[{"person": {"first_name":"Vedat"}}]}'
WHERE info::json->'reviews'-> 0 -> 'person' ->> 'first_name' = 'Jenna'

A: You aren't passing in the whole column as the first value, and you need to provide a path to the value you want to change in the form of an array:
For example:
UPDATE restaurants
SET info = jsonb_set(info, '{reviews,0,person,first_name}', '"Vedat"', true)
WHERE info->'reviews'->0->'person'->>'first_name' = 'John';

So you effectively have to pass the whole JSON document to jsonb_set, and it will return the modified document.

Why do we love languages?
So why do we love languages?
First of all, writing: Writing in another language is like putting together a puzzle, attempting to make each word, phrase and grammatical concept match each other. We may not always get the combination right, but we enjoy the attempt.
When we read, we hear those foreign sounds in our heads, and once we gain some understanding we acquire images, ideas and emotions. It's amazing how you can look at a text and have no idea what it's about, but after looking up a few words in a dictionary, it all starts to make sense.
I enjoy listening to foreign music and watching foreign films. I also enjoy watching people communicate in other languages; I focus so hard to try and understand what they are saying and sometimes startle myself when I actually understand!
Once you get past the embarrassment of making mistakes and pronouncing words incorrectly, you begin to develop enough confidence to just go for it and get your point across, whether it is in correct language or not! You may get laughed at or told that you're making mistakes, but that's all part of the learning process. When you find yourself conversing with a native speaker, all embarrassment goes out of the window and pride takes its place.
I like learning other languages because it enables me to form a closer bond with other countries, people, and customs. It allows me to see things from a different perspective and understand things that weren't present around me as I was growing up.
Why do you love languages and what inspires you to learn them? What is it about language that you find so fascinating?

USMCA signing (The Canadian Press)
Lighthizer celebrates USMCA, promises enforcement as trade deal comes into force
U.S. trade ambassador Robert Lighthizer promises to ensure that USMCA's rules and obligations are enforced
The new North American trade agreement is officially the law of the land, and the Trump administration is vowing to ensure that Canada, Mexico and the United States live up to its obligations.
U.S. trade ambassador Robert Lighthizer has issued a statement marking today's coming into force of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, and promises to ensure that its rules and obligations are enforced.
In it, he cheers the USMCA as the signature accomplishment of President Donald Trump and a "monumental change" that will benefit American workers, farmers and ranchers instead of multinational corporations.
Kirsten Hillman, Canada's ambassador to the U.S. and a central player in the negotiations, says the agreement — known as CUSMA in Canada — is designed to ensure more people in all three countries can reap its benefits.
That was the enduring flaw within the previous NAFTA agreement, which has been derided for years in the U.S. as a principal reason why manufacturing jobs migrated to Mexico.
The new deal has more stringent labour provisions that require more products to be built with well-paid labour in order to qualify for duty-free treatment.
"A huge component of this was incentivizing North American manufacturing in the auto sector. And that was about putting our workers on a level playing field with North American competitors," Hillman said in an interview.
"As a high-wage jurisdiction, we want to make sure our folks were on a level playing field. So I think the theme of it is trade for all Canadians."

As you can see from the screenshots, the data comes out fine, but the  component does not render.

A: i update my setState function , the question solved.

When it is hot, food is very fast get spoil, but it will be very easy if you know how to preserve . Currently, all houses have a refrigerator. You just put the sauce of shrimp paste into the cooler of the refrigerator and it still retain its full flavor.
Many people wonder if should put sauce of shrimp paste in the refrigerator or not? By the way, Sfood claims that it is always possible to preserve sauce of shrimp paste in the fridge! Storage in the refrigerator will prevent the bacteria from multiplying under normal conditions.
If you make sauce of shrimp paste, then you put the small parts into the cooler, when you eat, just take the small parts and then bake in the microwave oven to preserve the taste of shrimp sauce.
If you buy sauce of shrimp paste in the store, just to put in the cooler, and remember not let other food into sauce of shrimp paste!
It is not so difficult to keep food in the cold weather. With normal temperature, your sauce of shrimp paste is enough to retain the taste. But keep it in a cool, clean place; avoid sauce of shrimp paste near the kitchen because of getting spoiling.
If you want to be sure in preservation you can let sauce of shrimp paste in the cool refrigerator. When you eat just take a few bowls and then cover carefully, so you can completely preserve sauce of shrimp paste in a good way.
If you do not want to worry about the delicious sauce of shrimp paste that will be rancid, then you can choose the safe way that is buy sfood's sauce of shrimp paste.
If home-made sauce of shrimp paste without the use of preservatives, the storage is only about 3-4 days but sauce of shrimp paste from sfood can be stored up to 10 days, with cool refrigerator it stored up to 30 days.
Many customers wonder why sfood products are preserved in a long tim. We ensure that sfood does not choose a chemical preservation to keep the flavor of the product.
Sfood's sauce of shrimp paste is preserved in British sterilized technology. Sfood has found that products such as sauce of shrimp paste are very high in protein, so it is very difficult to store. So it is important to use the new sterilization technology to retain the taste of this dish for a long time and leave it in a clean and beautiful glass jar.
That is the reason why sfood's sauce of shrimp paste is preserved longer than others.
Sfood's sauce of shrimp paste is not only guaranteed for quality ingredients: pork, shrimp, spices … but also handmade and good preservation. So mothers choose sauce of shrimp paste for their children eat along with rice.


This is a very simple guide on how to make 3D glasses (red/blue 3D glasses). Unfortunately high-end 3D specs don't come cheap. I managed to find an entry level pair in the UK for R214. These do the job but don't always offer the best results for your money. Far better to make a cheap pair for free! Here's how to do it.
You'll need some cardboard, some red and blue "gels" or cellophane (this is usually available at art and photography shops), a ruler, some scissors, a scalpel (or card cutting device) and a few blobs of glue (preferably contact).
For the frames, fold the card in half and cut a rectangle as wide as your head. This should also be twice as deep as your eyes. When that's sufficiently sliced, create some appropriately-sized eyeholes.
Cut each gel into a square slightly larger than the eyeholes. You'll also need to cut two long trips of card (about 2cm wide) for the frame's arms.
Open up the frames and glue the lenses on the inside – with the red lens on the right and the blue over the left eyehole. Glue about 1cm of each arm on the sides and seal like a sandwich.
Fold and trim the arms and carve suitable shapes for your eyes and nose.
Start watching 3D videos! Here's a list of 3D YouTube videos.
Exlore 3D, like never B4!
Have a look at the biggest range of 3D Spex in the country (SA), there is something to suit everybody's pockets, needs & tastes.
Please click link below & see for yourself?
By the way, cellophane does NOT work & scratch free, undamaged gel is very difficult to find?
Maybe not cellophane per say, but what are the lenses of those cheap cardboard 3D glasses made from then?
The Chinese use an low grade gel which they make themselves, its not fireproof & much thinner, so its much cheaper. If u inspect the Cosmo spex from October issue, u will see they seem somewhat hazy. The colours are also nowhere as dense as the proper stage gels from Italy.
If u buy stage gel at any lighting/hire company, its usually used for lighting & they don't care about scratches, as it does not matter when filtering lights only. They handle the rolls pretty rough & its usually scratched & dented, within a few days after opening.
"Quality Street" wrappers, have a good colour density, but none of the colours they use match either + they always badly creased from the wrapping.
I sell A4 sheets of gel if required & also various complete 3D spex..

Air Canada hires influencers to promote vacation travel even as federal guidelines urge people to stay home
Robert FifeOttawa Bureau Chief
Eric AtkinsTransportation Reporter
Published January 5, 2021 Updated January 6, 2021
An Air Canada Boeing 737-8 Max airplane at Vancouver's international airport in Richmond, B.C., Feb. 5, 2019. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced changes to a pandemic-related sick leave program that will deny benefits to people who travel abroad on vacation.
Ben Nelms/Reuters
Air Canada has hired social-media influencers to encourage Canadians to fly on non-essential vacation travel in spite of federal guidelines that urge people to stay home as cases of COVID-19 spike across the country.
The social influencers being paid by Air Canada Vacations are promoting leisure travel inside the country and to international destinations.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced changes to a pandemic-related sick leave program that will deny benefits to people who travel abroad on vacation.
"No one should be vacationing abroad right now," Mr. Trudeau told reporters on Tuesday. "You need to take this seriously."
Mr. Trudeau said Canadians who take non-essential trips do so at their own risk, against federal guidance, and will be required to show a negative COVID-19 test before returning effective Jan. 7.
The domestic airline industry has criticized the new testing rule. The International Air Transport Association called it "callous and impractical," and said requirements should be loosened for those who test negative.
An Instagrammer who goes by the name JennExplores posts for Air Canada and other companies along with her travel partner, Mitch. The two posted photos from Mexico over the Christmas break promoting Air Canada Vacations and Iberostar Hotels and Resorts.
@jennexplores/Handout
One of the social influencers hired by Air Canada is Toronto-based Daniel Reyes, who uses Instagram and his blog to promote the airline's travel and vacation packages.
"We no longer live in March 2020, and leisure travel can and is happening safely," Mr. Reyes wrote in a Dec. 1 posting about a holiday he planned to take mid-month to Vancouver. "Why Air Canada Vacations? Because I feel completely safe in their hands."
Mr. Reyes lauded Air Canada for putting safety first, saying its planes are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized, have HEPA filtration systems that capture 99.9 per cent of airborne particles, and customers must wear masks.
"Yes the world is different, and thankfully so is travel," he wrote. "If you don't want to travel, you don't have to. But if you have an opportunity to and the occasion presents itself, Air Canada has made sure that you can do so in a safe manner."
Mr. Reyes posted pictures of restaurants where he ate and sites he visited during his four-day trip to Vancouver in mid-December. He was not immediately available for comment on Tuesday.

Rod Phillips's vacation is something Ontario might not soon forgive
Air Canada spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick said the airline uses social-media influencers as part of its broader marketing program, "and to reach audiences traditional media do not penetrate," he said. "At present, we do not have any new influencer engagements planned."
Lorne Wiesenfeld, vice-dean of postgraduate medical education at the University of Ottawa's medical school, said it is unwise to travel, especially since two COVID-19 variants emerged that are highly transmissible.
"It is an unnecessary risk, particularly with the new variants that have come out of the United Kingdom and South Africa," he said. "We don't know what the actual risk is given these new strains ... and with a population that is largely unvaccinated at this point, I would advise people not to travel unless there are important reasons to do so. I don't think taking a vacation or other non-essential travel is a reason to go."
One of the social influencers hired by Air Canada is Toronto-based Daniel Dothe, who uses Instagram and his blog to promote the airline's travel and vacation packages.
@dothedaniel/Handout
A spokesman for Transport Minister Marc Garneau said on Tuesday that Canadians must avoid non-essential travel, especially as the country faces record increases in COVID-19 cases and provincial lockdowns, and hospitals are reaching capacity. More than 16,000 people in Canada and more than 1.8 million worldwide have died after catching the airborne virus, which can be spread by people without symptoms.
"We are reaching dangerous case numbers in areas across the country," Mr. Garneau's press secretary, Allison St-Jean, said in a statement to The Globe and Mail when asked about Air Canada's campaign. "Everyone has a role to play to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, and we want to remind Canadians that travel restrictions and measures can be amended as necessary and on short notice."
An Instagrammer who goes by the name Mitch_Explores posts for Air Canada and other companies along with his travel partner, Jennifer Fast. The two posted photos from Mexico over the Christmas break promoting Air Canada Vacations and Iberostar Hotels and Resorts.
"If you follow best practices, there are really good infrastructure and procedures to travel, despite the social media blow back. It is possible to … have responsible decision making while traveling, and adhering to quarantining guidelines upon return," Mitch_Explores wrote.
"If you've been wondering if travelling again is right for you, be sure to follow along and if you have any questions for us, please shoot us over a DM - we're open to answering any questions!" Ms. Fast wrote on Instagram.
Neither responded to messages from The Globe.
Ken Wong, a marketing professor at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., questioned the strategy of hiring people to promote travel while countries are telling people to stay home.
"You're trying to convince people it is safe to travel at this point in time when our Prime Minister has told people that if you go out of the country, you're not entitled to [sick leave] benefits or anything else," Prof. Wong said. "You know, it's just silly."
He said there is little need to promote travel. "I cannot think of a bigger waste of money by Air Canada," Prof. Wong said. "After a year of lockdown, you don't need to stimulate anybody to travel. The moment restrictions are lifted, you're going to see a flood of travel like we have not seen before."
Montreal-based leisure airline Air Transat and Calgary's WestJet Airlines Ltd. stopped using paid influencers on social media at the beginning of the pandemic, spokespeople said. Both have still been promoting travel on social media. Sunwing Airlines Inc. did not address questions sent by e-mail.

Colbie Caillat: Hold On
Posted on 13 September, 2015 Author cheatbook
Hold On is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat. It was co-written and produced by Ryan Tedder, who had previously collaborated with Caillat on her 2011 single "Brighter Than the Sun". The song was released to digital retailers through Republic Records on November 19, 2013 as the original lead single from Gypsy Heart but was later scrapped from the domestic release of the album for uncertain reasons. It is, however, included on select international versions of the album. Upon its release, "Hold On" was generally well received by critics, who complimented the new musical direction. Wikipedia®.
Colbie Caillat welcomes change. Being a Gemini might have something to do with it, or it could just be her innate predilection for progression. Either way, the Grammy Award-winning, multiplatinum songstress's fourth album, Gypsy Heart, and EP Gypsy Heart: Side A, see her artistically evolve yet again. "I like change," she affirms. "I have a hard time picking one thing I love. Gypsy Heart sums up everything I am. I love listening to Bob Marley at the beach, while drinking a kale smoothie in my twenty-dollar Target bathing suit with zero makeup. At the same time, I love having my amazing style and hair and makeup team get me ready for shows. Other times, I'll be dancing to dubstep in my dressing room, while drinking Jameson and eating donuts for breakfast. I'm all of those things. Musically, Gypsy Heart has the singer-songwriter style fans have loved all these years, but it's more up-tempo with beats and heavy production on some songs. Combining those two sides was my goal."
She certainly succeeds as well. After 2012's Christmas in the Sand, she spent the next year tirelessly writing with an acoustic guitar at a cozy house overlooking the beach in Malibu. "I recorded an entire record inspired by Paul Simon's Graceland and Simon & Garfunkel's 'Cecelia'," she recalls. "After turning it in to my label, they suggested I keep writing and aim for a completely different sound." Reluctantly, she agreed to continue writing, and it proved to be the right decision. Teaming up with her "Brighter Than The Sun" collaborator OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder [Adele, Beyoncé]. The two cut the shimmering dance floor anthem "Hold On," which hinted at what lay on the horizon for Caillat.
"I went down a different path," she admits. "It was exciting to try something new. The writing sessions that I reluctantly agreed to do, yielded a new creativity—especially once I got in the studio with 'Babyface'. Songwriting can be an emotional rollercoaster, and that makes it fun for me. It's personal therapy." For Gypsy Heart's campaign song "Try", she joined forces with Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. Gently plucking an acoustic guitar along to a lush piano melody, the singer makes a powerful statement about female body image. For the lyric video, she enlists both fans and celebrities to appear without makeup, freeing themselves and bravely embracing natural beauty. "While we were writing, Kenny told me, 'Stay true to yourself. Don't let them change you'," she goes on. "Tony Dixon and Jason Reeves were in the session as well, and they both reiterated, 'You don't have to try'. So, I started singing the chorus with the words, 'You don't have to try'. It was such a liberating way to start the session and we kept rolling with that message. It explains literally every step a woman takes to get herself ready to go out in public and how exhausting it is. There's so much we have to do in order to make ourselves 'beautiful' so we feel accepted in the public eye. This is an anthem for women to accept who they are and be comfortable showing it and not hiding it from one another."

Elsewhere on Gypsy Heart, Caillat cuts loose yet again. "Blaze" could very well be the life of the party over an endless summer with its kinetic energy and breezy hook. Written with longtime friend Reeves and David Hodges [Christina Perri, Avril Lavigne], it's as vibrant as it is vivacious. "When my friends and I get together, we have a blast," she smiles. "We don't do anything crazy, but we do know how to have fun! Sometimes, we end up dancing on tables. It's a song about what we do!" At the same time, "If You Love Me Let Me Go" examines a breakup with poetic lyrics and her striking vocal delivery. "It's that story everyone's gone through," she says. "You break up with someone, yet you're dating them again. It's a confusing thing. It's so much worse to do that to yourself though. If you love me, let me go. Stop torturing me and keeping me around just a little bit longer, if we're not going to last forever." During "Live It Up", Caillat confronts stage fright and her struggles to overcome it even after eight years of professionally performing. The chorus is her personal reminder before every show. Meanwhile, "Never Gonna Let You Down" remains the song everyone loved the most from the first sessions in Malibu. However, "Babyface" put his own stamp on it. "Along with 'Try', I think it's one of the songs my fans will relate to the most," she continues. "I love the crisp folk lean to the song. I can honestly say Kenny is my favorite all-time producer. He's unpredictable and thorough, and he can also brilliantly produce any genre you ask him to."
Caillat's music lasts forever. To date, she has been honored with Two Grammy Awards and sold over six million albums and ten million singles worldwide. Her breakthrough hit "Bubbly" remains "one of the best-selling digital tracks in history" and her multi-platinum debut COCO hit #5 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart upon release, while her sophomore set Breakthrough landed at #1. From 2011's All of You, "Brighter Than The Sun" went platinum and enjoyed over twenty film and television placements, while seeing acclaim from People and NY Post. She's also played sold out venues everywhere alongside everybody from John Mayer to Sheryl Crow. Beyond music, she's an avowed spokesperson and supporter for the The Humane Society of the United States, the ASPCA, Farm Sanctuary, Surfrider Foundation, and Save The Music. Still, at the end of the day, Colbie always challenges herself as a writer, regardless of which direction she travels. "I just want to write songs that stay with people," she concludes. "If fans can listen to my music on repeat, that's amazing. And play my songs during memorable moments in their life, I know I want that more than anything."
Colbie Caillat: Hold On Lyrics:
I'm feeling further, feeling further from ya every day
You're in the stars, in the stars, yeah, you're worlds away
I'm moving on, moving on, then I hear you say
Hold on, hold on
We're losing light, losing light, yeah, we're fading fast
We had a fire, need a spark, or we'll never last
Just look at me, look at me, I've been burning for you so long, so long
I should walk away
(Oh-oh oh-oh)
I look at you and (Oh-oh oh-oh)
I get the feeling (Oh-oh oh-oh)
I think that I should hold on, hold on
I'm losing love, losing you, losing everything
Losing faith in the world where I wanna be
So I don't care if the one thing that's killing me
Is so wrong, so wrong
Oh oh, oh oh
And I can't stop this feeling, And I can't stop this feeling
I hit the ceiling (Oh-oh oh-oh)
I think that I should hold on, hold on.

Q: How to scrape lat/long from JavaScript code using Scrapy / XPath I want to extract the latitude and longitude from this script
<script type="text/javascript">
    window.DETAILS_PAGE_MAP_GLOBALS = {
        GOOGLE_MAPS_LONGITUDE: 55.4159330979,
        GOOGLE_MAPS_LATITUDE: 25.1549968578
    };
</script>

I tried this xpath
contains(.//script[@type='text/javascript']/text(), 'window.DETAILS_PAGE_MAP_GLOBALS')

I always get 0. I know it is referring to false
my question how could I get the lat and long from that script? I think contains might help but i don't know how

A: You can use regular expressions with Scrapy selectors.
An example straight from the docs:
sel.xpath('//a[contains(@href, "image")]/text()').re(r'Name:\s*(.*)')
That way, you can get the data out in one go.


HANGZHOU - Chinese Vice-Premier Wang Yang has called for more foreign trade to support the economy. Seeking progress while ensuring stability, China shall continue to improve its foreign trade policy, push ahead with structural adjustments and upgrades,Louis Vuitton Luggage, and foster new advantages in trade competition, said Wang. Wang made the remarks during a visit to east China's Zhejiang province from Monday to Wednesday. He visited several companies including the Alibaba Group and an e-commerce village in Lin'an city. Wang said that China's foreign trade faces many difficulties, citing weak external demand and rising costs. China will try to ensure that the growth of exports and imports regains lost momentum and its share of the international market does not fall, by support to companies in their initiatives to nurture export brands and build overseas marketing networks, Wang said. While visiting industrial parks in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang, Wang suggested new industry standards, rules and training to set an example for the whole country. China's foreign trade only increased 3.4 percent in 2014 denominated in US dollars, significantly lower than the 7.6 percent rise in 2013 and the 7.5 percent target.

Scott Durham
Faculty Director
spd594@northwestern.edu
Scott Durham, Associate Professor of French and Comparative Literary Studies, is the faculty director for the MALit Program and the director of graduate studies in French at Northwestern. He has taught both graduate and undergraduate courses since 1994, with a primary focus on 20th-century literature, film and the relationship between literature and philosophy. His scholarly publications since he completed his doctorate at Yale include Phantom Communities: The Simulacrum and the Limits of Postmodernism (Stanford University Press), Jean Genet: In the Language of the Enemy (a special number he edited for Yale French Studies) and numerous articles. He is also the co-editor (with Dilip Gaonkar) of a collection of essays, Distributions of the Sensible: Rancière, Between Aesthetics and Politics (forthcoming from Northwestern University Press). He is currently writing two books, with the working titles Between Rancière and Deleuze: Aesthetics, Politics, Resistance and Eurydice's Gaze: Historicity and Memory in Postwar Film, as well as co-editing a collection of essays (with Caitlyn Doyle), Geopolitics and Media Aesthetics.
PhD, Yale University

corey.byrnes@northwestern.edu
Corey Byrnes received a BA from Brown University in 2003, an MPhil from the University of Cambridge in 2005, and a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley in 2013. His research and teaching areas include the environmental humanities; 19th-21st century Sinophone literature, film, and visual culture; animal studies; and landscape and spatial studies. He is jointly appointed in the Alice B. Kaplan Institute for the Humanities and the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, and is also a core-faculty member and Director of Graduate Studies in the Comparative Literary Studies Program. Professor Byrnes' first book project, Fixing Landscape (Columbia University Press, 2019), won Columbia University's Weatherhead East Asian Institute's First Book Award in 2018 and was awarded honorable mention for the American Comparative Literature Association's 2020 Harry Levin Prize for outstanding first book in comparative literature. His second project is about "cultures of threat" and how they produce unfolding environmental and social futures between the United States and China and across the Pacific. Cultures of threat encompass forms of representation and lived practices through which an imagined future, when feared, comes to seem not only real but imminent. Unlike risk, threat describes not what is likely or unlikely to happen—the probable— but rather what could conceivably happen—the possible. It takes shape through speculative fictions of the plausible designed to create fear—and to incite action. "Cultures of Threat" theorizes the understudied mechanisms of threat in two multi-chapter case studies that reconsider the relationship between "rising China" and a global environmental imaginary in which it is treated as an existential threat.

Kasey Evans, Faculty Director and associate professor of English at Northwestern, teaches and writes about medieval and Renaissance literature. Her book Colonial Virtue: The Mobility of Temperance in Renaissance England (University of Toronto Press, 2012) argues that the virtue of temperance underwent a semantic sea-change during the English Renaissance, evolving from a paradigm of self-discipline and moderation into a value of time-management, efficiency, and colonial aggression. Areas of particular interest include English Renaissance adaptations of Italian poetry (Dante, Ariosto, Tasso); ideologies of race, gender, and sexuality as they shape Renaissance English literature; and literary and critical theory, from medieval exegetes through postmodern philosophers. Evans received her PhD from the University of California, Berkeley.

i-wilson@northwestern.edu
Ivy Wilson teaches courses on the comparative literatures of the Black diaspora and U.S. literary studies with a particular emphasis on African American culture. His forthcoming book, Specters of Democracy: Blackness and the Aesthetics of Nationalism (Oxford UP), interrogates how the figurations and tropes of blackness were used to produce the social equations that regulated the cultural meanings of U.S. citizenship and traces how African American intellectuals manipulated the field of aesthetics as a means to enter into political discourse about the forms of subjectivity and national belonging. Along with recent articles in ESQ, Arizona Quarterly, and PMLA, his other work in U.S. literary studies includes two forthcoming edited books on the nineteenth-century poets James Monroe Whitfield and Albery Allson Whitman. His current research interests focus on the solubility of nationalism in relationship to theories of the diaspora, global economies of culture, and circuits of the super-national and sub-national. Wilson has a PhD in African American studies and English from Yale University.

Currently with AngelToast to get a new face-up.
I am the first owner, I got him direct from Iplehouse in 2010. Niko was purchased for my 16th birthday, a gift from me to me haha.
Out of the three sculpts Iplehouse had at the time, (Akando, Evan and Luo) Evan had the closest look to my character. At this point there are other sculpts that would probably work better but I've already grown too fond of him to replace his head.
I love the detailing on the model body, he has veins and really nice musculature which is great. He's one of my oldest and I love him a lot!
His knees have always been a little tricky haha.
Nikolai, aka Niko, is my biggest guy in the house at the moment. He was my first Iplehouse doll ever, and pretty much got me hooked on the company haha! He has been neglected a bit in the past, but I'm hoping to change that and make sure he gets lots of new goodies.
Somewhat classy, he wears dress pants and dress shirts regularly with a sprinkle of hospital scrubs occasionally.
Named after one of my main characters, Nikolai.
Nikolai is a main character in my small set of stories. He works at hospital where he meets his eventual wife.

So what do I need to do? Anybody?
I think you actually need to hook your computer to a telephone land-line. I'm not sure, but I have the impression you can't send a fax using the internet (or a mobile phone). There are some webservices that may provide that function for you.
Well you'd certainly need a fax modem to send it directly .. how else would it talk to a fax machine ?
Thanks Zeb, that clears it up. I don't have a phone connection on my computer so I guess I'm out of luck. Thanks guys for all the info.
Some printers still have dial-up modems in them, so can be used as Fax machines.
Otherwise you'd either need a dial-up modem (that's how fax's speak to each other .. you remember the noise right ), or use an online service that will send a fax for you.
Most broadband modem/routers these days, though they may still use the phone line use a completely different signal frequency and technology that is isolated from the audible band .. so an old Fax machine wouldn't "hear" it and even if it could they'd be talking different languages.
I was going to suggest the online service.
Doctor offices. Government offices. For that matter, a number of businesses. A number of businesses won't accept files in an e-mail, but they'll accept a fax. I guess they figure there's no way to send a virus in a fax.
You'd think encrypted email would be the most secure method .. and the fact your decypt key worked PROVED the sender.
They're now doing lease documents by email only so I suppose there's some method of making sure they're legally valid.
Yep, that sums it up nicely.
Still have a couple of 14400 somewhere I think .. though god knows why.


Why Choose an Anti-Ageing Facial over a Normal Facial – What Are the Benefits?
When you hear the word anti-ageing you automatically think old. Well not really. Anti-ageing facials are generally for the more mature skin, people over 40 years old but are also available for those in their early 30's and onwards as the skin starts maturing from that age. Anti-ageing facials are also good for skin that has been damaged over time by the sun or for those that have prior skin conditions.
We take our skin fore-granted, especially when it comes to the face. When we go into the sun, we will put sunscreen on our bodies but tend to forget about the most important part of the body – the face. Without the proper use on sunscreen on the face or sun protection i.e. wearing a hat, we damage the skin on our face terribly which over time leave dark marks. By going for an anti-ageing facial, you will be able to get rid of the dark marks but bear in mind that in all likelihood this will not happen overnight and you will have to go for more than one treatment.
The older one gets the more thinner and drier the skin becomes. The skin starts losing collagen and elastin – collagen gives the skin a thick, plump appearance and elastin which makes the skin "snap" back quickly. The older you get, the longer it takes for the "younger" skin to get to the topmost layer of the skin which then gives the skin a duller appearance.

Step 1 – Cleansing. The face needs to be cleaned with an age appropriate cleanser and is done so with cotton pads or sponges.
Step 2 – Skin Analysis. Your skin is basically put under a microscope meaning that through a specialised lamp, dry skin, broken capillaries, age spots as well as fine lines and wrinkles will be picked up. This will determine the extent of the anti-ageing facial required.
Step 3 – Exfoliation. A chemical or mechanical exfoliant can be used. Mechanical exfoliation lends a gritty texture and is used while steam vapor is directed at your face. A chemical peel can be done as part of a facial treatment or as a stand-alone treatment.
Step 4 – Extraction. Basically the removal of unsightly blackheads or whiteheads.
Step 5 – Facial massage. Using classic massage technique, the face is massaged to relax you and stimulate the skin and facial muscles.
Step 6 – Facial mask. Definitely geared towards the more mature skin and is dependent on the type of mask you require and of course, what the beautician has available.
With the correct application of toners, serums and protective creams as well as by getting the right advice on home skincare; you will be able to have younger looking skin in no time!

Q: Powerpoint graph - invert transparent color selection Say I have an image of a line graph (I do not have the source of the graph, it is only an image of one) that I want to remove the background of. The image is pretty for most purposes but annoying for mine in that the background is striped to show Y values easily. I would like to remove the background so that I can layer it over similar graphs and form a composite without trying to recreate all the data and make a new graph.
e.g.:

The problem is that if I use ppt's "remove background" option, it works extremely poorly to leave the line intact. It takes upwards of 60-70 keep/remove markings before it starts to keep the line and it is very buggy. One marker in the wrong spot and it gets ever more confused and I end up with either random dots on the line, the whole graph, or none of it. "Set transparent color" is another option but the graph is striped, so there isn't just one color to remove. I can select the data line and make it transparent but this is the exact opposite of what I want. Is there a way to invert this? Make everything transparent except for one selection? Make all colors transparent except for this one?
I will take an alternative answer as to how to leave only the data line behind (axes can stay or go, it doesn't matter to me) but it needs to be done in MS Office or some other program that's likely to be installed on a basic Windows install. I have very limited capability to change the SW and no access to the internet where the data is held.
