What shall I do such that I could deploy this web service, and all the other developed for CXF, on JBoss ?
I didn't have any answer to my question. I can deploy web services in JBoss with CXF exactly the same as they were JBossWS native web services. I understand this was the goal of providing CXF in JBoss: to leverage Apache CXF such that CXF web services be transparently deployed on JBoss. This is fine. But there are many CXF web services deployable on Tomcat or other containers and which are using vanila Apache CXF and which aren't deployable as it on JBoss. One needs to modify the web.xml deployment descriptor and to rename the spring bean definition files or to remove them completely. This is not convenient and I think that any CXF web service should be deployable on JBoss with CXF without having to touch anything. Is taht possible and, if yes, how ?

US military drone shot down over Yemen, Houthis claim responsibility

Washington: A US MQ-9 drone was shot down by a surface-to-air missile in the south of Yemen's capital Sanaa on Tuesday, according to a US official.
"The US believes that the missile was provided to Houthi rebels by Iran," the official told CNN. The official said it was immediately unclear whether the drone was being operated by the US military or the intelligence community.
The Houthi rebels have claimed that the drone was shot down by its air defences. A Houthi spokesperson said that the missile was "developed locally".
The US official said the Donald Trump administration will publicly call out Iran for the incident.
In June, Iran had downed a US drone over the Strait of Hormuz which led to rising of tensions between both countries.
Iran had claimed that the drone had been flying over one of its southern provinces near the Persian Gulf while the US rejected the claims and termed Tehran's move as an "unprovoked attack".
The incident almost led to a US military strike with Trump later calling it off, saying it would lead to a high number of casualties which was not proportionate to shooting down the unmanned drone.
Ties between the US and Iran had already soured last year after Washington pulled out from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) and reinstated sanctions on Tehran as part of its "maximum pressure" campaign.

Organizing a new home sometimes feels overwhelming, but it's an amazing opportunity to start from scratch! Not sure where to begin to get a Martha Stewart style home with an Instagram-worthy pantry, hall closet or laundry room? Here are some of our favorite routines, tips, and tricks to ensure your new home organization success.
Have a coat rack, key hook, a place for shoes, and anything else you use on a regular basis near the front door to make coming and going more streamlined. Always losing track of your mail? Consider an attractive bill organizer or tray for the entry table.
Having a central space where you can jot down tasks, lists, appointments, and more is a lifesaver to keep your new home (and it's residents) organized. Whether it's a whiteboard, notepad or calendar, keep all your daily reminders in an easily accessible location to keep it current.
Make sure everything has a place and keep related items contained to that area. Making this a habit means you'll (almost) never have to hunt for book bags, shoes or lunches as the school bus arrives.
Make a game out of putting away the toys or keep a box where each toy "goes to sleep" every night. Hidden storage in ottomans and benches are the perfect place to tidy away blankets, magazines or toys. Need more storage in the bedroom? Use bed risers to maximize the storage area under your bed.
It doesn't all have to get done at once. Break your new homeowner tasks down by week, month and season. This prevents you from feeling overwhelmed and gives you attainable goals that can be steadily being checked off your list.
While you're watching your favorite show in the evening, get things done during commercial breaks. You'll be surprised how much you can accomplish. Playing a song and trying to get as much done before it ends is also a great way to get motivated.
As you are planning your new home organization tools, consider how you will use your space: do you need systems in your bathroom cabinets or smart ways to store knives and pans in your kitchen? Do you prefer a custom closet organizer or to work with over-door and under-bed storage? Determine what will best suit your needs and add it to the mix.
Add attractive baskets to your foyer or keep bins for each family member at the bottom of the stairs. Remind each family member to drop items that need to go back upstairs into their personalized container throughout the day. Once the basket is full, it's easy to carry up to put everything back in its place.
Before the temperatures chill, take time to dust your ceiling fans (and reverse them to push warm air down), and replace air filters before turning on the heat. Cold-weather gear like coats, scarves, and gloves can take up more space, so be sure to make a little more room in the closet or entry. Now's also the perfect time to think about any additional storage items you need to better organize your holiday decorations for next year!
Spring is often thought of as a time for deep cleaning, but why not a little deep organizing too? Create boxes labeled fix, toss, and donate, and ask each family member to see what clutter can be sorted into each. Then do it! Want to organize the pantry? Take inspiration from Pinterest for labeled bins and boxes – and you'll look forward to grabbing that cereal box each morning from your beautiful cabinetry. Before the temperatures warm, take time to dust your ceiling fans and replace air filters.
Make a place for things you'll be using more often this season such as outdoor sporting equipment or pool toys. Instead of hats and gloves, you'll want to make sure you've got flip flops, sunscreen and bug spray stored at your fingertips. Power wash your deck or patio, organize your grilling tools, and clean out the cooler so it's ready to go on summer vacation too.
Leaves may be lovely on the trees, but they aren't as much fun to clean up off your lawn. Keeping lawn bags in an easy-to-reach place and investing in a garage organizer for rakes and other tools saves time so you can back to enjoying the fall weather. Take time now to get things organized for the spring thaw: clean the grill, wash the patio, and replace your furnace filter. Take time to eliminate the things you don't need: donate toys, clothes and non-perishable foods to local charities before the holidays.
Less stress means more time to enjoy settling into your new Sunrise Builders' home. Combine these suggestions with your own practices so you can focus on making memories.

HPI Challenge Germany and Austria Full Steam Ahead!
The HPI Challenge, which currently runs in Germany and Austria as LRP-HPI-Challenge, continues to run strongly.
In April 1999, by request of HPI, HPI Challenge was launched in 12 countries worldwide. In Germany and Austria, the previous importer LRP was putting a lot of effort into the series and renamed it LRP-HPI-Challenge in July 2000. However LRP sadly became insolvent and the LRP electronic GmbH will be closed 31st of March 2018. Nevertheless the series, which continues to run strongly (last season was 85 races, 812 different starters making 2466 starts), will be continued by Ripmax GmbH as German and Austrian HPI distributor. Easy: Started as HPI Challenge, became LRP-HPI-Challenge now back to HPI Challenge!
The current season will continue including rules and rankings. Ripmax GmbH takes over the duties like insurance, raffle prices, numbers etc. and the database will move to www.hpiracing.com . After the national final (17.-19.th of August at Andernach) the 2018/2019 season will start, and only the new HPI tyres will be allowed than. Also we will launch a new class, Porsche Challenge which uses a new HPI Sport 3 Clubracer platform, HPI Porsche body and 21.5T brushless motor. HPI is looking into launching new electronics to support the Challenge, but in the meantime, at least incl. the national final, the current electronics will remain.
The future prospect is extremely positive: New HPI Material gives us the possibility to restart HPI Challenge in many countries worldwide, through our fantastic distributor network. Than we could do an HPI Challenge EC and maybe even WC in the future!
The first race under the new (old) name will be the Superlauf of all regions incl Austria, 6.-8th of April in the famous Rheinard run Arena33. Already more than 160 starters registered and prove the continuous strength of the series!

Q: Initialise JQuery Date Picker I have the following code
$.datepicker.setDefaults({ dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy' });

  var searchStartDate = moment((<any>$('#searchStart')).datepicker('getDate'));
  var searchEndDate = moment((<any>$('#searchEnd')).datepicker('getDate'));

I am getting an error on datepicker on the first line:

The property "datepicker" does not exist on value of type "JQueryStatic"

Can someone point me in the right direction to fix it please?

A: It looks like you have the jQuery declaration file but not the jQuery UI declaration file.  It's available here: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/master/types/jqueryui
Edit: Modern TypeScript development is installing packages through npm rather than downloading files manually.  Install the declaration file with npm install --save @types/jqueryui.

Full details of the financial and operating results are described in the Company's consolidated financial statements with accompanying notes and related management's discussion and analysis for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 (collectively, the "FY 2021 Financial Statements and MD&A").

Non-IFRS Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net loss are non-IFRS measures used by management that do not have any prescribed meaning by IFRS and that may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss generated for the period as reported, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and is further adjusted to remove changes in fair values and expected credit losses, foreign exchange gains and/or losses, impairments. The Company defines Adjusted net loss as net loss generated for the period as reported adjusted to remove changes in the fair values of derivative liabilities. The Company believes these non-IFRS measures are useful metrics to evaluate its core operating performance and uses these measures to provide shareholders and others with supplemental measures of its operating performance. The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, frequently use these non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of companies, many of which present similar metrics when reporting their results. We caution readers that Adjusted EBITDA should not be substituted for determining net loss as an indicator of operating results, or as a substitute for cash flows from operating and investing activities.

Crippled Black Phoenix – Great Escape Review
On September 13, 2018 By Huck N Roll
"Yes, this album cover needs a unicorn. It's the first and foremost thing any of us noticed in the AMG World Headquarters break room. I don't know what's going on with this horse, but it won't be good when and if it comes back down to earth. I suppose it's escaping, although maybe it's just simply jubilant. At eleven songs and over 74 minutes, is Great Escape going to make me jubilant, or am I going to want to make my escape?" Unicorn in the sky. Making little children cry.
Ravens Creed – Get Killed or Try Dying Review
On August 13, 2018 By GardensTale
"Among the uninitiated, metal has a reputation for being "that angry sort of music." Of course, we know better than that. Many progressive and power metal bands wax about life-affirming statements in flowery language, and even many heavy metal bands aim more for fun and camaraderie than anger and skull-bashery. With more extreme forms of metal, it's easier to see where the ignorant come from, but even black metal commonly puts subjects like evil and subversion ahead of sheer violence. Ravens Creed, however, have no problem giving in to the stereotypes." Violence begets other violence.
Boss Keloid – Melted on the Inch Review
On April 27, 2018 By Huck N Roll
"At AMG Headquarters last week, as a number of us were gathered around the bench press station during our allocated one hour of yard time, discussions turned from who could bench the most, to personal tastes when it comes to genres to review. When I was finally allowed to talk, I said I like my dad metal, sure, but I also enjoy deeply of prog, doom, some stoner — and I like it all to be just a little off-kilter. Well, members of Boss Keloid must have been standing nearby, because Melted on the Inch, their third album, ticks all my non-dad-metal boxes." Boss dad prison metal.
Bedowyn – Blood of the Fall Review
On May 20, 2016 By L. Saunders
"For better and worse, sludge metal has branched out considerably beyond the abrasive and uncompromising early years of the genre, defined by the likes of The Melvins, Eyehategod, Grief, the underappreciated Iron Monkey and boundary busting legends Acid Bath,. Increased diversity and scene saturation has polluted the genre pool, leading to interesting yet inconsistent results and mixed feelings from yours truly." Sludge is as sludge does.
Primitive Man – Home Is Where the Hatred Is Review
On February 11, 2015 By Jean-Luc Ricard
"Loud, heavy, dense, raging, lacking any sort of subtlety or nuance – rarely has a band been so aptly named as Primitive Man. Self-releasing their debut to critical acclaim both here and across the metalogosphere, they followed it up with a series of splits before being snapped up by Relapse for their latest outburst of hatred. Their approach has remained pretty consistent across these releases: crank everything up until it feeds back, then hammer out the most repulsive blackened sludge they can conjure." Better call your local Department of Sludge Control.
Colossus – Wake Review
On April 21, 2013 By Alex Franquelli
I've spent the last few minutes trying to stick a label on Wake. Not that it matters anyway and, to be honest, watching MTV on mute while listening to "Ruinbuilder" with my headphones on is a valid alternative to tiring out my brain. Ms Germanotta is out of sync in this peculiar, extemporary world of mine as she moves about trying to keep up with the pace imposed by the nervous beat of a Swedish drummer. This unrepeatable choreography slowly fades into the background as Niklas Eriksson's vocals, sometimes reminiscent of Savatage's Zachary Stevens and Jon Oliva's melancholic elegance, boldly sets the record straight with the opener "A Stir from Slumber".

More countries arrive Nigeria for Calabar carnival
The 2016 biggest street party in Africa, Carnival Calabar, is gathering momentum as more countries have signed up to participate at the 12 kilometre carnival fiesta.
Already, Croatia, Brazil, Burundi, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Rwanda have been welcomed at the Murtala International Airport, Lagos ahead of the high point of the 32 days Calabar festival.
This year's edition is going to be the mother of all carnivals and a far departure from the previous ones, going by the international attendees and countries whose delegates and performing groups have arrived.
However, to ensure a robust outing this year, the state government has engaged the services of travel and tourism expert, Ikechi Uko, as the international consultant.
This is in line with the repositioning of Carnival Calabar as the number one event in Africa.
With his wealth of experience in the sector, Uko, who is the founder and coordinator of The Team Africa and organiser of Akwaaba Africa Travel Market, is saddled with the responsibility of mobilising other countries and international bands that will participate in the carnival this year.
However a sizeable number of countries participated last year, which informed the decision by Governor Ayade to re-appoint him in that capacity.
Meanwhile, the Bikers Festival Calabar 2016 by Metallic Knights Motorcycle Club and Governor's Ball will be on Tuesday, December 27, while Carnival Calabar, featuring: Africa's biggest street party and other fascinating side attractions on the carnival route, and Nigeria's Most Wanted Music Concert and DJ Grand Slam will light up the town on Wednesday, December 28.

Africa biggest Street carnival is slated for December 28 with the traditional five bands: Freedom Band, Bayside Band, Passion4 Band, Seagul Band and Master Blasta Band.
The bands with their colourful costumes will be on ground to thrill revelers with other added side attractions. There will also be music concert at the UJ Esuene stadium to entertain guest at night.
The Convertible/ Exotic Cars Parade, a fresh innovation introduced by Ayade, will hold on Thursday, December 29, the same day designated for Green Carnival, International Carnival Segment/Competition, International Artist Performance and Music Concert.
The governor has also left no stone unturned to welcome visitors with a high security measures to ensure safety of lives and property during the carnival.

Creative Erotic Moral Sexuality
Introduction / Summary (2018): Hello and welcome to our Sexuality pages. While this is not a pornographic site, it is provocative - founded upon what people search on the Internet (which is very interesting!). We then relate this to our biological and cultural evolution.
Sex is obviously important to people - and if you want to improve your sexual relationships then knowing the truth about our human evolution is the best foundation. By opening our minds to a greater diversity of behaviors, this knowledge will help you creatively cultivate healthy pleasurable moral attitudes and sexy smutty relationships (free from religious guilt & cultural myths).
Support an open honest discussion on the truth of our sexual evolution and behaviour. If you support sex positive, moral, informed sexual behaviour please share this knowledge. (These pages have a diverse collection of fascinating information relating to our human sexual evolution so people will appreciate it - see our 'nice letters' page!).

Evolution of the Brain: Sex & Survival
3.4 billion years ago - Life appears. According to the fossil record, relatively complicated organisms like bacteria already existed when the earth was only one billion years old.
450 million years ago - the first Fishes. They posessed a very small brain, the first one that had existed on the earth up to that time.
300 million years ago - the first Reptiles. The brains of our reptile forebears were divided into three compartments: a front compartment for smell, a middle compartment for vision, and a rear compartment for balance and coordination. The basic instincts of survival - sexual desire, the search for food and the aggression responses of 'fight-or-flight' - were wired into the the diencephalon (a region between the smell brain and vision brain).
200 million years ago - the first Mammals
When the mammals evolved out of the reptiles, their brains began to change. First they developed a new package of instincts, related to the reptilian instincts for sex and procreation, but modified for the special needs of a mammalian lifestyle. Chief among these was the instincts for parental care of the young.
120 thousand years ago - Homo Sapiens appears. The growth of the cerebral cortex reached explosive proportions in the last million years of human history, culminating in the appearance of Homo Sapiens.
The primitive region in the brain, that held the circuits for the instinctive behavior of the reptile and the old mammal, was now completely enveloped by and buried within the human cerebral cortex. Yet this ancient command post is still active within us; it still vies with the cerebral cortex for control of the body, pitting the inherited programs of the old brain against the flexible responses of the new one.

From the book: 'The Enchanted Loom, Mind in the Universe' by Robert Jastrow
The hypothalamus is an exceedingly ancient structure and unlike most other brain regions it has maintained a striking similarity in structure throughout phylogeny and apparently over the course of evolution.
The hypothalamus is fully functional at birth and is highly involved in all aspects of endocrine, hormonal, visceral and autonomic functions and mediates or exerts controlling influences on eating, drinking, the experience of pleasure, rage, and aversion. The hypothalamus is the central core from which all emotions derive their motive force. The hypothalamus is also sexually differentiated. That is, structurally and functionally the hypothalamus of men and women are sexually dissimilar.

Nature vs Nurture: Male and Female Brains
In recent years, neuroscientists have found that male and female brains are wired differently because of the role of testosterone and other male hormones during gestation. Brains growing under the influence of male hormones are slightly larger and have denser concentrations of neurons in some regions.
Male brains also contain a greater proportion of gray matter, the part of the brain responsible for computation, while women have relatively more white matter, which specializes in making connections between brain cells
Average IQ is the same among men and women.
Intelligence tests have found that men, on average, perform better on spatial tasks that require mentally manipulating objects. Men also do better on tests of mathematical reasoning. Women tend to do better on tasks requiring verbal memory and distinguishing whether objects are similar. The relative strengths tend to even out, studies indicate.
If men do have a slight advantage in math ability, is the difference really biological, or are exceptional girls and women intimidated by cultural stereotypes and discouraged from cultivating their talents from an early age?

Nature vs Nurture: Male and Female Brains. Biology, Hormones, Culture
https://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2005/02/28/nature_vs_nurture_divides_academia/
Differences Between Male and Female Brains
From the essay: "Scientists working at Johns Hopkins University, reporting in the 'Cerebral Cortex' scholarly journal, have discovered that there is a brain region in the cortex, called inferior-parietal lobule (IPL) which is significantly larger in men than in women. This area is bilateral and is located just above the level of the ears (parietal cortex).
Furthermore, the left side IPL is larger in men than the right side. In women, this asymmetry is reversed, although the difference between left and right sides is not so large as in men. This is the same area which was shown to be larger in the brain of Albert Einstein, as well as in other physicists and mathematicians. After allowing for the natural differences in overall brain volume which exist between the brains of men and women, there was still a difference of 5% between the IPL volumes (human male brains are, on average, approximately 10 % larger than female, but this is because of men's larger body size).
Another study by the same group has shown that two areas in the frontal and temporal lobes related to language (the areas of Broca and Wernicke, named after their discoverers) were significantly larger in women, thus providing a biological reason for women's notorious superiority in language-associated thoughts. Using magnetic resonance imaging, the scientists measured women had 23% (in Broca's area) and 13% (in Wernicke's area) more volume than men."

Prefrontal Cortex Controls Sex Urges, Sexual Arousal in Primitive Brain Area (Limbic System)
As most teenage boys know, it's not easy to keep hormones in check. While humans can control their level of sexual excitation with some effort, a new study suggests that this skill is a fairly recent gift from evolution.
By studying men watching pornographic videos, researchers in Canada have pinpointed areas of the brain that become active when the men tried to avoid being stimulated. In evolutionary terms, these regions of restraint are newer than the more primitive areas where the sexual urges arise in the first place.
Only primates have prefrontal cortexes. That region of the brain, located right behind the forehead, is most advanced in humans and is involved in analytical thinking, multitasking and problem solving.
The men's prefrontal cortexes turned on when they tried to control themselves. By contrast, erotic feelings prompted activity in older parts of the brain, including the region known as the limbic system, and the neocortex, which allows people to be aware of their feelings.

Arousal in Women, Viagra & Erotica: 'All in the Mind'
Scientists have concluded that women achieve most sexual satisfaction through the stimulation of their brain and not any other organ. After eight years of tests involving 3,000 women, Pfizer, the company behind Viagra, the little blue pill that has transformed men's sex lives, has abandoned efforts to prove that the drug works for females too.
Studies found that even though Viagra induced a greater pelvic blood flow in women. they did not feel substantially more aroused.

Report on Pornography, Right and Left Sides of Brain
'The visual image is processed by the right side of the brain; print by the left. The latter is rational and analytical; the former holistic and pattern-recognising.
Left brain/right brain research is beyond the scope of analysis of this paper, but clearly questions need to be asked about the impact of the visual (whether photographic or film) image on the brain, particularly the male brain, which recent research indicates has much less connection between its left and right halves than the female brain, and therefore possibly much less opportunity for the rational left to control the impulses generated by the impressionistic right.'

Evolution of Brain: Erotic Images Prove Useful In Coaxing Out Unconscious Brain Activity
When your eyes are presented with erotic images in a way that keeps you from becoming aware of them, your brain can still detect and respond to the images according to your gender and sexual orientation, a team of University of Minnesota psychologists has found.
The purpose of the work was to uncover mechanisms by which the brain processes visual information that is not consciously perceived by the subjects. The researchers chose to generate brain activity by using erotic pictures because they promised to elicit strong responses and clear patterns in the data. But the researchers believe the mechanisms by which the brain processes such images are universal.
'This definitely doesn't just work for erotic pictures,' said psychology professor Sheng He, 'But erotic images stand out in terms of potency to generate a response.'

Erotic Images Elicit Strong Response from both Male and Female Brains
A new study suggests the brain is quickly turned on and 'tuned in' when a person views erotic images. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis measured brainwave activity of 264 women as they viewed a series of 55 color slides that contained various scenes.
When study volunteers viewed erotic pictures, their brains produced electrical responses that were stronger than those elicited by other material that was viewed, no matter how pleasant or disturbing the other material may have been. This difference in brainwave response emerged very quickly, suggesting that different neural circuits may be involved in the processing of erotic images.
A great deal of past research has suggested that men are more visual creatures than women and get more aroused by erotic images than women.
'Usually men subjectively rate erotic material much higher than women,' says Andrey P. Anokhin (Ph.D., Research Assistant Professor of Psychiatry). 'So based on those data we would expect lower responses in women, but that was not the case. Women have responses as strong as those seen in men.'

Male, Female: The Evolution of Human Sex Differences

Analyse any human emotion, no matter how far it may be removed from the sphere of sex, and you are sure to discover somewhere the primal impulse, to which life owes its perpetuation. ...

UK TO END ITS IVORY TRADE. WOOHOO. FANTASTIC NEWS FOR LOTS OF REASONS AND ABOUT BLOODY TIME.
It's not yet been approved by Parliament yet, but they are amongst the toughest of any ban yet enacted anywhere else in the world. They cover all ivory items, not just those carved or produced after a certain date. Unlimited fines or five years in prison await those found guilty of breaching the ban.
Britain was the world's largest exporter of ivory between 2010 and 2015. Closing its markets therefore brings it in line with China, Hong Kong, and the US (if they stick to their plan) – other major former ivory traders – and will at least send the powerful message that globally there should simply no demand for ivory any more. With no demand, there'll be no supply.
The job is not yet done however as the EU continues to permit ivory sales, but sales of ivory from the UK made up a significant chunk of the EU's total exports hopefully the UK's move will add even more pressure on Brussels and the black market trade needs to be further investigated.
Remember: protecting elephants is not only about saving an endangered species. It's about protecting Africa's landscapes and rangelands, and safeguarding people's livelihoods and the ecosystems communities and economies rely on.


During the convict era, Eaglehawk Neck formed an important part of the security system for the containment of convicts on the Tasman Peninsula. The guard station situated here served this purpose from early in the convict era, and around twelve buildings were once at this site. The only remaining building is the Military Officers' Quarters, however this is an important building as it is the oldest surviving timber structure on the Tasman Peninsula. The site is also important due to the associated garden that dates from the same era.

Q: I unwisely moved in with my now ex-boyfriend. I am not on the lease, although I have been contributing to rent and bills. The relationship has soured and now he has told me that he wants me out in three days. Can he do this? Do I have any legal recourse? –Miko W.
A: There's a practical answer to your question, and a legal one. Both are rather unsatisfactory, unfortunately. Let's look at the law first.
Technically speaking, you are either a co-tenant with your ex, or a subtenant of your ex. You may be a co-tenant if the landlord knew and accepted your living there, regardless of the fact that you have not been formally added to the lease (that is, in spite of your not having signed the lease).
That you did not directly pay rent to the landlord may not matter at all; it's your "open and accepted" presence on the property as a resident that may give you co-tenant status.
If you're legally a co-tenant, your ex cannot terminate your tenancy or take legal steps to remove you if you refuse to go. Only landlords can take these steps. Miserable co-tenants can continue to cohabitate indefinitely, each refusing to leave. It's not a pretty picture.
On the other hand, you may be a subtenant, someone who rents from the tenant (your ex). If this is the case, your ex does indeed have the legal ability to terminate and evict, if you refuse to go.
You'd need to understand how your state defines co-tenants and subtenants to know where you fall. That would probably involve a trip to a lawyer … the last thing you need. Then again, if your ex really thinks that he can enforce a demand that you leave by evicting you, he too will have to get involved with the law (file an eviction lawsuit).
Whether you're a co-tenant or a subtenant, if he tries to oust you by indirect means (like locking you out or throwing your things out on the street), he faces big liability for a "self-help eviction," a costly mistake in practically every state.
Your options are really more in the practical realm of things. If you need time to move, consider yourself either a co-tenant or a subtenant, and explain to your ex that, in any case, he cannot get rid of you short of an eviction lawsuit.
And presumably he's not eager to be hit with a lawsuit. Assure him that demanding that you leave in three days is not reasonable, but that you'll move at the earliest opportunity.
Q: We have a "no pets" policy at our property, and many of our residents have let us know that they value this policy and chose to live here, in part, because of it. A new resident has asked to add a roommate, whom we approved; then we learned that the new tenant has a companion animal that she says she may keep because she's disabled.
We're assuming that she's legit and that the dog is necessary, but we're concerned about our other tenants. Now that there's a dog on the property, will they have grounds to break their leases and move? –Jon C.
A: If your new resident is a person with a disability — someone who has, has a history of, or is regarded as having a physical or mental disability that substantially limits one or more major life activities — you must follow the federal Fair Housing Amendments Act.
That means, among many other things, changing your rental policies if doing so is necessary to allow that person to live safely and comfortably on your property. A no-pets rule must bend to the request of a person with a disability if that person needs a service or companion animal.
The need for such an animal may be established by a letter from an attending professional, such as a doctor, or from other credible professional sources.
But although you, as the property owner, are subject to the fair housing rules, your other tenants generally are not. In this case, your tenants have a legal right to expect that you'll maintain a pet-free property — that promise is in the lease, and you know that it played a substantial part in the tenants' decision to rent from you.
That you are legally required to modify that policy when faced with a legitimate request by a person with a disability does not mean that your other residents must adjust their right, which you gave them in the lease, to live in a pet-free building.
In other words, you're not following through with an important rental promise, and that you are legally required to deviate from it will not stop your other renters from the legal remedies they may have — which includes moving out.
But before you begin anticipating large-scale move-outs, consider a reality check. You're not exactly hosting a pack of wild dogs; in fact, a companion animal that is properly trained will probably be well-behaved. You are on solid ground to insist that your new tenant clean up after the dog, give it regular and appropriate exercise, always keep the dog on a leash, and so on.
If reasonable rules like this are broken — and certainly if the dog poses a threat to others or substantially disrupts the peace and quiet of your property by nonstop barking — you'd be within your rights to question your obligation to allow the animal to be on the property.
Although the Fair Housing Amendments Act gives persons with a disability broad rights to keep service or companion animals, these rights are not absolute. Depending on the circumstances, they may have to bend to your legitimate concern that an animal not severely disrupt the ability of others to live in peace, let alone place other tenants at risk.

Ethernal Labs Announces The Exorians, A Next-Generation NFT Avatar Project And Play To Earn Gaming Experience – Yahoo Finance
Ethernal Labs Is Building A Play To Earn Game Under The Guidance Of Legendary Game Producer Thomas Vu
LOS ANGELES, May 19, 2022–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ethernal Labs, the incubator and technology studio leveraging the interactivity and utility of Web3 technologies, is excited to announce the launch of The Exorians, a next-generation, 12,000 edition NFT avatar collection. Each avatar will grant the holder access to The Exorians Universe, a new media franchise which aims to revolutionize how media is created, owned, and distributed. The Exorians community will influence the storyline of an upcoming comic series and the development of the subsequent AAA play-to-earn game.
The announcement follows Ethernal Labs' raise of $20 million dollars earlier this year, in which Thomas Vu, executive producer of Arcane and League of Legends took part. Exorians will act as Ethernal Labs' first step into blockchain gaming; the studio is committed to building a community-first social and gaming experience where holders of the Exorians avatars will be able to earn while enjoying an entirely new gaming and metaverse ecosystem.
Each of the 12,000 Exorians will act as a playable character within The Exorians Universe, and holders will be able to influence the direction of the ecosystem as a collective. The Exorians avatars will begin minting this summer on the Ethereum blockchain and will be closely followed by community-directed comics, a social metaverse, and the AAA play-to-earn game, which is being developed under the guidance of legendary game producer, Thomas Vu.
"Ethernal Labs is redefining ownership and engagement for gamers and collectors through blockchain technology," said Thomas Vu. "The Exorians Universe will expand the possibilities of the metaverse and play-to-earn gaming through Web3 technologies and community ownership of both the ecosystem's development and in-game assets."
The Exorians avatar collection and the play-to-earn game are powered by Ethernity, who will provide the technology and DeFi implementation to create a powerful play-to-earn ecosystem. Ethernity is the premier authenticated NFT marketplace that issues fully licensed NFTs from the world's biggest brands and iconic figures including Lionel Messi, Shaquille O'Neal, Bruce Lee, and DeLorean Motor Company, and is providing their expertise in blockchain technology to all future Ethernal Labs projects.
"We are extremely excited to introduce an entirely new gaming experience for the NFT and Web3 community," said Nick Rose, Ethernal Labs and Ethernity Founder and CEO. "Exorians is a community-focused project, where holders will be able to influence the development of the ecosystem and earn while playing through DeFi implementation."

One of them actually got Musk's attention after posting a video of himself on social media, likely because the man appears at first glance to be the spitting image of Musk himself.

Q: get data of a div when its top border touches the top of viewport Three divs on a page - each of them has 100vh height.
By scrolling up and down, I need to get data-x of a div when its top border touches the top of viewport.
And only when scrolling, not by loading the page.
In the example below on scrolling down console should be:
ipsum
dolor

and on scrolling back to top:
ipsum
lorem

Here is my try, but without success to get such a control.
please help

var cards = [...document.querySelectorAll('.card')]

let options = {
    rootMargin: '100%'
};

function onIntersect(entries) {
  entries.forEach((entry) => {
        console.log(entry.target.dataset.x);
  });
}

const io = new IntersectionObserver(onIntersect, options)

cards.forEach((card) => {
    io.observe(card)
})
.card{height:100vh;}
.carda{background:orange;}
.cardb{background:lightblue;}
.cardc{background:silver;}

A: You have to detect if the page was scrolled, and console.log only that card which isIntersecting:

var scrolled = false;
document.addEventListener('scroll', () => scrolled = true, {once: true});

var cards = [...document.querySelectorAll('.card')]

let options = {
  threshold: .7
};

function onIntersect(entries) {
  entries.forEach((entry) => {
    if (scrolled && entry.isIntersecting) {
      console.log(entry.target.dataset.x);
    }
  });
}

const io = new IntersectionObserver(onIntersect, options)

cards.forEach((card) => {
  io.observe(card)
})
.card {
  height: 100vh;
}

.carda {
  background: orange;
}

.cardb {
  background: lightblue;
}

.cardc {
  background: silver;
}

Once again, we have an amazing collection of artwork from The Design Inspiration to share with all of you. This time, the subject is Lara Croft, Tomb Raider.
Now, I dig Tomb Raider. But after Zero Punctuation's brutal review of Underworld, I'm started to feel mighty uncomfortable about all the animals Ms. Croft knocks off on her way to steal valuable stuff from dead people. In all seriousness, I actually apologized to the virtual panthers I shot up during my own review of Underworld. Because I'm a huge softie. And a cat owner. And maybe a little crazy after 10 straight hours of gameplay on deadline.
Enjoy the artwork, from the over-sexed to the over-manga'd. This image comes from Joe Jusko.
