Q: Implementing zoom on Canvas I am working with the canvas, taking an image as the background and trying to implement the zoom feature into it.
I want to Zoom in at the point where fingers are pinched and zoom out will work through the center coordinates as that of Image gallery feature. I went through many tutorials and read many threads about it.
Whatever I implemented till now is either supporting zoom in and out at same point or if I am applying it to the image then whatever I draw on canvas is not getting zoomed, only the background image is zooming in and out.
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
    super.onDraw(canvas);
    onDrawReady = true;

    // for eraser
    canvas.saveLayerAlpha(0, 0, canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight(), 0xff, Canvas.HAS_ALPHA_LAYER_SAVE_FLAG);

    imageRenderedAtLeastOnce = true;

    if (delayedZoomVariables != null) {
        setZoom(delayedZoomVariables.scale, delayedZoomVariables.focusX,
                delayedZoomVariables.focusY, delayedZoomVariables.scaleType);
        delayedZoomVariables = null;
    }

    canvas.concat(matrix);

    for (DrawObject d : paths) {
        if (d.getType() == MODE_DRAWING) {
            canvas.drawPath(d.getPair().first, d.getPair().second);
        } else if (d.getType() == MODE_TEXT) {
            canvas.drawText(d.getText(), d.getX(), d.getY(),
                    d.getPair().second);
        } else if (d.getType() == MODE_ARROW) {
            canvas.drawLine(d.getStartX(), d.getStartY(), d.getX(),
                    d.getY(), d.getPair().second);
            fillArrow(canvas, d.getStartX(), d.getStartY(), d.getX(),
                    d.getY(), d.getPair().second);
        } else if (d.getType() == MODE_CIRCLE) {
            RectF oval2 = new RectF(d.getStartX(), d.getStartY(), d.getX(),
                    d.getY());
            canvas.drawOval(oval2, d.getPair().second);
        } else if (d.getType() == MODE_RECTANGLE) {
            canvas.drawRect(d.getStartX(), d.getStartY(), d.getX(),
                    d.getY(), d.getPair().second);
        } else if (d.getType() == MODE_ERASE) {
            canvas.drawPath(d.getPair().first, d.getPair().second);
        }
    }
    canvas.save();
}

This is the Issue

A: I dont know how did you implement it but the following code works how you mean:
ZoomActivity:
public class ZoomActivity extends Activity {
    Context context;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.zoom_view);
        ZoomableImageView mIV = (ZoomableImageView)findViewById(R.id.image_view);
        context = this;
        Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.background);
        mIV.setImageBitmap(bm);

    }
}

British ruled India for 200 years but before leaving India they left for us the elegance in their culture and our fascination to English style pub life. 10 Downing Street pub is one of the fastest growing chain of pubs across the country with over a dozen location across India. The outlet at Kolkata being the largest one the in chain sprawling over 10,000 square feet. Typical wood and leather decorated English-style pub with hanging chandeliers has fully loaded bar.
Once you enter the pub the center of attraction will be its mammoth island bar made of brass. Lots of revolving chair surrounding the bar those who want to watch the actions closely. For the comfort sink in luxury comfortable leather sofa for a long night ahead of you.
Also have a library section during day time which coverts to dance floor once sun goes down. Oh! there is veranda inside the pub. This elevated space is reserved for live performances and music bands.
Every time with my visit I appreciate the commendable efforts been put to design this place. The entire place has been detailed and very well balanced with frames and antiques and the colors and the lights, everything is awesome.
Being on the frequent visitor here to enjoy their Spicy Grilled Chicken Lasagne and authentic Shepard's Pie along with my favorite chilled Belgian witbier topped with orange slice. The pie served is an original English style one can get in the city. And ofcourse my lady is in love with the bar man's Pub Special mocktail.
Service is very smooth, attentive and they know and remember preferences of frequent visitors for that attentive and personalized service. Great food and sumptuous music make this a perfect pace to chill out. I wish there could be bit more variations in the music been played here.

McDavid hat trick leads Oilers past Avalanche 6-2
EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) Edmonton's Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are ranked first and second in scoring after career nights.
McDavid had three goals and three assists and Draisaitl had five assists - career highs for points in a game for both players - as the Oilers beat the Colorado Avalanche 6-2 on Thursday night.
Draisaitl leads the league with 41 points in 21 games, followed by McDavid with 37 points.
"You have nights where you feel good and not so good. Tonight I felt good," McDavid said of his six-point performance. "It was nice to get something early and keep it rolling.
"It's fun, it's real fun to play with Leo. We've been playing together for a long time now. So these are nights that are fun to do together."
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had two goals and Zack Kassian also scored for the Oilers (13-6-2), who have won three of four.
Kassian said he still marvels at what his linemates McDavid and Draisaitl are capable of.
"I've been around them for a while now, but every day they still seem to surprise you with what they can put on the ice," he said. "It's just another day at the office for them. They're probably thinking in that second period, 'Hey, let's go get eight.' Or, 'I can get nine.' They're wired differently. They're the elite of the elite. Edmonton is spoiled to get to watch these two guys every night."
Andre Burakovsky scored two goals for the Avalanche (11-6-2), who had a three-game winning streak snapped.
"Their best players had a night tonight, and we didn't," said Colorado head coach Jared Bednar. "I just didn't think we were very good. Not tight enough with our checking, and just didn't seem to have the drive that we needed to win this one."
The Avalanche started the scoring 1:20 into the first period as Burakovsky beat Oilers goalie Mike Smith with a long wrist shot for his sixth of the season.
Edmonton evened it up six minutes into the game when McDavid dropped a pass to Nugent-Hopkins and he beat Colorado goalie Adam Werner for his third goal in the last three games. Draisaitl also got an assist, extending his point streak to 11 games.
The Oilers surged ahead with two goals in 28 seconds, coming 12 minutes into the first. McDavid scored his 12th of the season on the power play and was followed by a goal from Kassian, who had an easy tap-in after a great feed through the crease from Draisaitl.
Edmonton made it 4-1 with four minutes left in the first as McDavid moved through the defense and sent a shot past Werner for his second power-play goal.
McDavid picked up his second hat trick in the last three games with another power-play goal a little more than seven minutes into the second period. Werner was lifted in favor of AHL call-up Antoine Bibeau.
Colorado got one back with under four minutes left in the second when Burakovsky scored off a rebound for his second of the game.
Edmonton scored its fourth power-play goal of the game in the second period, as Nugent-Hopkins picked the top corner for his second of the game.
There was no scoring in the third.
NOTES: Defenseman Kevin Connauton made his Avalanche debut, replacing Mark Barberio. ... Oilers defenseman Caleb Jones played his first game of the season after being called up from Bakersfield of the AHL. ... Edmonton's Darnell Nurse played his 300th NHL game.
Avalanche: Play the third game of a five-game trip at Vancouver on Saturday.
Oilers: Host the Dallas Stars on Saturday.

Colorado Avalanche at Edmonton Oilers
The Avalanche took two of three meetings last season, but have won just three of the nine meetings since the 2016-17 season. The Avs have also taken points in their last three trips to Edmonton, winning two and losing in overtime on February 22, 2018.
Colorado has scored 17 goals in the last three games, tied for its most in any three-game span in the last 15 seasons. Colorado is averaging 3.67 goals per game this season after averaging 3.15 in 2018-19. That +0.52 differential ranks as the league's fourth-largest improvement.
The Oilers fell in San Jose on Tuesday, 6-3, matching their season high in goals allowed (October 27 vs. Florida). Edmonton now has 26 points this season, its most through 20 games since tallying 27 to open the 2001-02 season.
Cale Makar scored in his third straight game in a 4-0 win at Winnipeg on Tuesday. The only longer goal streak by an Avalanche defenseman in the past 20 seasons is Erik Johnson's run of four straight games in December 2014.
Leon Draisaitl scored a goal and logged an assist in the loss to San Jose, his 15th goal and 21st assist this season. His 36 points are the most by any skater through 20 games since 2005-06, when Ottawa's Daniel Alfredsson and Philadelphia's Peter Forsberg each posted 36 points.

Specialization is great. In fact, when working to position our clients and their services, specialization is often a key differentiator. However there are certain situations when a comprehensive, integrated solution works best. We can look to the auto repair industry for examples of how comprehensive services provide customers with better results.
I have a local auto repair shop where I always take both my own and my wife's car. It's a relatively small shop, not a franchise or "quickie" oil change type of place. I've met the owner, and he is often the one helping me. They know me, I know them and – most importantly – they know my car.
Sure, I could take my car to a brake shop for brakes, get oil changes at a "quickie" lube, rotate the tires at the tire shop, etc. But that's just too many locations to go to receive comprehensive car care. I like the idea of just going to one place — it's more convenient and saves me a lot of time. Plus, I don't have to remember where I have a warranty or where I last had something fixed. My single-stop shop also has my complete service history on their computer and can print it out at the touch of a button. It's simple and convenient and that makes my life easier.
My shop also saves me money. Now I could probably find a coupon in the mail and see who is doing the cheapest oil change that weekend and save a few bucks. But because I (and many of their customers) go to the all-in-one shop for all of our service needs, their margins are actually lower across the board. They don't need to make all of their money on a single visit because they know I'll always be back for other services. One routine oil change isn't their only chance to earn my money.
We see a lot of larger companies (especially on the promotional products side of our business) who have a company policy of quoting out every project to a handful of approved vendors and who always go with the lowest bid. They probably think they are saving money by doing this, but what long term incentive does a vendor have to offer that client a lower price if they will simply quote out the next project? I argue (and many of our clients will agree) that by partnering with a company you can actually secure lower prices because the nature of the relationship offers long-term advantages. By developing a stable partnership, both parties benefit.
My auto shop and I share just such a mutually-beneficial arrangement. Because they see my car frequently, they know how to diagnose a problem quickly. "Quickie" oil change places aren't really considering the overall well-being of my car and are instead only interested in identifying a few "add-on" services they can sell me, such as replacing a filter or flushing the radiator. My auto shop has already conducted extensive work on the car, and this familiarity enables them to make informed judgments about which services I need. And because they see my car often, they notice if issues develop over time. With fewer problems slipping through the cracks undetected, I save money over the course of my cars' life. The shop benefits by retaining my long-term business.
MODassic offers our clients a similar comprehensive approach. We don't nickel-and-dime clients over little "add-ons," but stay focused on keeping your marketing strategy on the road for years to come. By forging comprehensive partnerships, we can offer clients better value than the "quickie" marketing shops who are only interested in making a quick sale. The better we know your brand, the better suited we are to make necessary adjustments and to refocusing efforts where they are needed. The arrangement allows us to offer you better, customized services at a cheaper cost because we know that you recognize the value of a committed, all-inclusive marketing resource.

Q: section with letters automaticaly creates dots after letter I wanted to change the enumeration of subsections from arabic numbers to roman character, so I used
\renewcommand\thesubsection{\thesection.\alph{subsection})}

For some reason I can't figure out myself this gives me

1.a).
1.b).
2.a).
2.b). ...

My problem ist the dot after the subsection-counter. Without the renewed command the counting goes

1.1
1.2
2.1
2.2

without a dot after the subsection-numbering. I could include the bracket with \renewcommand\thesubsection{\thesection.\arabic{subsection})}
and get the numbering like 1.1), still without the unwanted dot, so I guess it's some problem with the \alph command.
As I'm not sure what causes this Problem here is the list of my used packages etc and settings, maybe something is causing any trouble there:
\documentclass[12pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{ngerman}
\usepackage{mathptmx,amsmath,mathtools}
\usepackage{amssymb,stmaryrd}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{cancel,ulem}
\usepackage{graphics,graphicx,bm,color}
\usepackage{gauss,wrapfig}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{polynom}
\usepackage{pbox}

\renewcommand\thesubsection{\thesection.\alph{subsection}}
\allowdisplaybreaks
\setlength{\intextsep}{0pt}
\numberwithin{equation}{subsection}
\setlength\parindent{0pt}
\polyset{style=C, div=:,vars=x}

I would be very, very happy if anyone could give me a solution on how to get rid of this dot after each subsection-character.
Thanks, Katschka

A: That's due to the autodot system of the class. Use the option numbers=noendperiod to suppress it. And don't use the ngerman class, use babel instead.
\documentclass[12pt,numbers=noendperiod]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

\renewcommand\thesubsection{\thesection.\alph{subsection})}

9th Circuit (incl. bankruptcy)
The Legal "Pecking Order": Ninth Circuit Finds Poultry Labeling Claims Preempted
In a unanimous precedential decision, a Ninth Circuit panel recently affirmed the dismissal of a putative class action against Trader Joe's, which alleged that the statement "Up to 5% Retained Water" on Trader Joe's poultry product labels was misleading. According to Plaintiff, her independent testing showed Trader Joe's poultry products contained a higher percentage of retained water. However, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the district court's finding that federal law preempted Plaintiff's challenge to those advertising claims. Webb v. Trader Joe's, No. 19-56389, 2021 WL 2275265 (9th Cir. June 4, 2021).
As the Ninth Circuit's decision explained, poultry testing and labeling are federally regulated under the Poultry Products Inspection Act ("PPIA") and overseen by the Food Safety and Inspection Service ("FSIS"). Importantly, FSIS had already inspected and approved Trader Joe's "Up to 5% Retained Water" claim. FSIS had also reviewed and declined to object to the testing protocol Trader Joe's used to obtain the data supporting that claim. And because Trader Joe's had never publicly published its testing protocol, the Court found Plaintiff had not (and could not) allege that her testing protocol was the same as that used by Trader Joe's.
On this basis, the Ninth Circuit found Plaintiff's claims were preempted by the PPIA. Since the FSIS had already reviewed and accepted Trader Joe's testing protocol and labeling, requiring Trader Joe's to conform to Plaintiff's test protocol, or to accept Plaintiff's test data, would impose requirements "in addition to, or different than those" required under federal law—namely, the PPIA.
Plaintiff tried to avoid that finding by arguing Trader Joe's protocol was not "preapproved" by FSIS. In other words, Plaintiff argued FSIS did not object to the testing protocol, but did not explicitly approve it either. The Court was not persuaded. It noted that under the PPIA, Trader Joe's was only required to make its protocol available to FSIS, which "may object to or require changes" within 30 days. And under the federal regulatory scheme, FSIS's decision not to object or otherwise require changes to the protocol constituted federal approval.
Many advertising class actions take issue with labels that are allegedly misleading. When those labels are subject to a federal regulatory scheme (more commonly the FDCA than the PPIA) in which the federal agency approves or signs off on a subsequently challenged statement, preemption can be a strong basis for a dismissal motion.

Happy Birthday, Master Chief! And many, many more to follow.
Delighted to see he's almost certainly a minimum of second generation service member in his family. I'm always delighted when the sons and daughters of service members decide to make careers for themselves in our armed forces.
Have a wonderful Good Friday and a fabulous weekend to all readers of today's post!
Great career and a very Happy Birthday.
Long Time, Master Chief – hope all is well with you – seems birthday wishes are in order🎂🍸. All good here in Ormond Beach other than starting to climb the walls! Later Chris, take care.

This month, Oregon Kid Governor Dom Peters, a resident of Gervais, released an educational video called "A Capitol Tour and Civics Lesson."
"Dom's video is geared toward fifth-graders, but everyone will enjoy watching and learning," said Secretary of State Dennis Richardson in a press release. "In the video, Dom talks with Governor Kate Brown, myself, State Treasurer Tobias Reed and Supreme Court Justice Thomas Balmer. It's truly a unique and fun learning experience."
Check out the video at orkg.kidgovernor.org/.
Oregon is the second state to undertake the Kid Governor program. West Virginia and New Hampshire are planning to begin their programs in the fall. Designed by the Connecticut Democracy Center, Connecticut's program began in 2015. Students who participate in the Kid Governor program gain hands-on experience running for office, making campaign videos, giving speeches, and voting in elections. The program also provides teachers with a toolkit filled with civics lessons and opportunities to broaden students' knowledge and understanding of government and how to become an advocate for a community issue.
Peters' community issue was anti-bullying. He wrote a book on the subject, which will be available in the fall. Dom will be appearing at the Oregon State Fair at noon Sept. 1 in Columbia Hall to read his book, "Pippin and the Super Kind Friends Club."
Visit the Oregon Secretary of State website or the Oregon's Kid Governor website to learn more about the program. Registration to participate in the 2019 Kid Governor program is open to all Oregon fifth grade classrooms and fifth grade homeschoolers.

Last night Geoff Keighley and crew put on a heck of a show for the fifth annual Game Awards. The show's grown quite a bit over the years, with reveals from both indie developers as well as studio juggernauts. If you didn't get to tune in last night, here are the biggest stories from the show.
Mortal Kombat 11 Announced...With Release Date!
Raiden, Scorpion, and the rest of the gang return and sooner than you probably expect. Mortal Kombat 11 is due out in April. You can watch the trailer here.
Yep. Persona and Smash are crossing streams. Joker will be a DLC character. You can find out all the details here.
Epic previously announced Fortnite's Creative Mode. During The Game Awards, Donald Mustard took to the stage to reveal The Block, a feature that will be dedicated to incorporating players' creations in Battle Royale. Read all about it here.
It's little more than an indication that the studio has its sights on a new Dragon Age but hey, it's something!
Last night, Bethesda revealed when we could play this unexpected sequel: May 14. Nice. Oh, and Rage 2 happens to be our cover story this month, so be sure to head on over to our hub for all the exclusive information we've got on the game throughout the month.
And it's exclusively for Switch.
It's called Hades and looks very Bastiony. But with a lot of greek mythology.
Obsidian finally revealed its new game The Outer Worlds last night. It looks rad. We actually got to visit the studio and see the game in action, too. Here's what fellow editor Ben Reeves thought of it.

Re: ACTION-1569: Create a section that describes AAPI differences

Thanks for the followup.  Some of your suggestions are editorial, and I
have no problem with those.  Some of the others I would like to discuss
with the AAPI task force.  More thoughts inline.

> Thanks. Looks good to me, although I do have a few comments/proposed edits.
> 1. The end of the 2nd paragraph in "1.1 Accessibility APIs" reads "Accessibility APIs include a tree of accessible objects (controls and text) and information about each accessible:".  Can we change this to read "…about each accessible object:", or possibly "about each of them:" to avoid the shorthand reference to accessible objects as "accessibles"?
I'm fine with that since this section is relatively near the beginning
of the document.  However, when discussing mapping issues, we've often
used "accessible(s)" as shorthand for "accessible object(s)", and I
believe this terminology is used elsewhere in the document. I think the
shorthand is fairly common now, so I'm reluctant to change every
instance of it.  Is it particularly egregious from a grammatical standpoint?
> 2. In "1.1 Accessibility APIs" it says "In the case of static Web pages, the Document Object Model (DOM) is used to represent the structure and state of the elements in the document being rendered by a user agent." This could be read as suggesting that the DOM does not represent the structure and state of elements in interactive web pages. Can we just drop the word "static"?
> 3. In "1.1 Accessibility APIs" it says "For traditional static Web pages, assistive technologies, such as screen readers, interact with user agents using the DOM. For UI elements that are known to be interactive, such as HTML form elements and desktop applications, assistive technologies may use platform accessibility APIs." This could be read as suggesting that assistive technologies wouldn't or don't use accessibility APIs for static web page content, and that accessibility APIs are really only for interactive UI elements. Possibly rewrite that whole paragraph, for example:
> "In the case of Web pages, the Document Object Model (DOM) is used to represent the structure and state of the elements in the document being rendered by a user agent. The elements of the document are organized into a hierarchy of nodes known as the DOM tree. To interact with static Web content, assistive technologies, such as screen readers, have tended to rely on the DOM provided by the user agent. However, platform accessibility APIs provide a quicker and more comprehensive way for assistive technologies to learn about and interact with Web page content. Especially with UI elements that are known to be interactive, such as HTML form elements and desktop applications, accessibility APIs allow the more complex roles, properties, states, and relationships of those elements to be communicated to assistive technology in a way that the DOM cannot provide on its own."
I believe these sections were written circa 2008, during the switch from
HTML, which was mostly document markup relying little on JavaScript, to
DHTML, which was a mixture of static document + lots of dynamic
interaction.  It should be updated.  These changes I want to pass by the
other members of the task force.
> 4. Recommend the following minor rewrite of "1.3.2 UIA":
> "Central to UI Automation is the concept of Control Patterns. Control Patterns allow the description of common kinds of UI element behavior. These behaviors can be grouped together to express new types of UI controls. For example, the Toggle and Invoke Control Patterns can be combined to express a tri-state button. Each Control Pattern includes the states, properties, methods and events that describe the behavior.
> Where other accessibility APIs include a role property whose value defines the type of UI element or control, UIA has the Control Type property to describe what kind of control a UI element represents. Control Types are defined in terms of their required and optional Control Patterns. So, the Button Control Type should support the Invoke Control Pattern or the Toggle Control Pattern, but not both at the same time.
> ARIA 1.x does not directly support Control Patterns, but many of the UIA mappings in the AAM documents combine Control Patterns to express web interaction concepts that are not native Control Types in UIA."
Cynthia, do you have any comments on the above suggestion?
> 5. I'm happy to create a new fork for these proposed efforts, if that's preferred.
That's my preference, since I find pull requests a useful way to discuss
the changes and making tweaks, etc. before pulling it in to master.

The Village Kitchen is happy to add another local company to their long list of products available for purchase. The award-winning Sauce Shop, based in Nottingham has six amazing tasty sauces to choose from.
They have all their Great Taste Award winning products in one collection. A Great Taste Award is a clear marker that a product has been judged to be outstanding in terms of flavour and quality. The judging process is very rigorous and winning these awards is far from guaranteed when entering. In 2017 over 500 judges, including specially trained food writers inputting judges' comments, came together at 62 judging days from March through to early July. The judges, from all corners of the food world, blind-taste in teams of 3 or 4 ensuring we get a balance of expertise, age and gender.
In total 12,366 products were entered and only a third achieve this accreditation.
At Sauce Shop we make craft sauces. That means no thickeners, stabilisers, or other fake ingredients. Mainstream sauces are bland and gloopy, industrially produced and full of rubbish. We're daring to be different where mediocrity rules. Care to join us?
So pop in and give some of their delicious sauces a try.

In the case that he could have said the same, it would have been: Let the small children come to me, so that I can exploit them in my struggle to Islamify the world." He also stated that if Israel lost the fight in the Middle East, Europe would bow under to Islam, if Muslim fundamentalists get it as they want. "They have, in the same manner as Hitler (Adolf Hitler), long ago made it clear that the long-term plan is to Islamify the world. They have come a long way, they have pierced deep into Africa, and have come a long way into Europe – and then we have to fight back." He was because of this speech criticised by politicians, religious leaders and other public personalities within Norway.

'''Indonesia''' ( ), is a sovereign state in Southeast Asia and Oceania. Indonesia is an archipelago comprising thousands of islands (List of islands of Indonesia). "The Naming Procedures of Indonesia's Islands", ''Tenth United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names'', New York, 31 July – 9 August 2012, United Nations Economic and Social Council It encompasses 34 provinces (Provinces of Indonesia). Two provinces were Special Administrative Regions (one (Special Region of Yogyakarta) for being governed by pre-colonial monarchy and another one (Aceh) for using the Sharia Law), with an estimated population of over 252 million people, making it the world's fourth most populous (List of countries by population) country. Indonesia's republican form of government comprises an elected legislature and president. The nation's capital city is Jakarta. The country shares land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Malaysia. Other neighboring countries include Singapore, the Philippines, Australia (Australia–Indonesia border), Palau, and the Indian territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Indonesia is a founding member of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and a member of the G-20 major economies. The Indonesian economy (Economy of Indonesia) is the world's 17th (List of countries by GDP (nominal)) largest by nominal GDP.
The Indonesian archipelago has been an important trade region since at least the 7th century, when Srivijaya and then later Majapahit traded with China and India. Local rulers gradually absorbed foreign cultural, religious and political models from the early centuries CE (Common Era), and Hindu (Hinduism in Southeast Asia) and Buddhist (Buddhism) kingdoms flourished. Indonesian history (History of Indonesia) has been influenced by foreign powers drawn to its natural resources. Muslim traders brought the now-dominant Islam (Islam in Southeast Asia), while European powers brought Christianity and fought one another to monopolize trade in the Spice Islands of Maluku (Maluku Islands) during the Age of Discovery. Following three and a half centuries of Dutch colonialism (Dutch East Indies), Indonesia secured its independence (Indonesian National Revolution) after World War II. Indonesia's history has since been turbulent, with challenges posed by natural disasters, mass slaughter (Indonesian killings of 1965–66), corruption (Corruption in Indonesia), separatism, a democratization process (Post-Suharto era), and periods of rapid economic change.
Indonesia consists of hundreds of distinct native ethnic (Ethnic groups in Indonesia) and linguistic groups (Languages of Indonesia). The largest – and politically dominant – ethnic group are the Javanese (Javanese people). A shared identity has developed, defined by a national language, ethnic diversity, religious pluralism within a majority Muslim population, and a history of colonialism and rebellion against it. Indonesia's national motto, ''"Bhinneka Tunggal Ika"'' ("Unity in Diversity" ''literally,'' "many, yet one"), articulates the diversity that shapes the country. Despite its large population and densely populated regions, Indonesia has vast areas of wilderness that support the world's second highest level of biodiversity. The country has abundant natural resources, yet poverty remains widespread.

Q: How to interpret the sentence "I heard a little silvery laugh"? I'm trying to interpret the sentence:

I heard a little silvery laugh.

What confuses me is I don't know if the speaker hear "a little laugh which sounded silvery" or "a somewhat silvery laugh"?
What does "a little" modify in this sentence, laugh or silvery?

A: The natural understanding is that "little silvery laugh" is "little, silvery laugh": little is interpreted as an adjective on "laugh", rather than as an adverb modifying "silvery".
If a native speaker wants to invoke the adverb meaning, the most natural way is to transform the sentence:

I heard a laugh that was a little silvery.

There is no way to pronounce "a little silvery laugh" which will convey the above alternative meaning unambiguously.
Even if you say "little silvery" without any pause in between, and then insert a pause before laugh, it does not reliably convey this meaning: some listeners will continue to interpret it as "a little, silvery", whereas some will accept that "a little silvery" is a unit.  And pretty much all listeners will find the speech unnatural.

The Daily Dog: A Wall of Water
Just before dawn on August 29, 2005, New Orleans residents awoke to the torment of hurricane Katrina. The Category 3 storm made landfall with sustained winds of up to 140 miles per hour and a storm surge that inundated the city. Water quickly breached levees and pumping stations designed to keep New Orleans' sub-sea level wards safe from flooding. Within hours, 80% of the city was underwater.
According to the independent Data Center, Katrina destroyed over 100,000 homes and devastated New Orleans' infrastructure. The storm claimed almost 2,000 lives. Following Katrina, the city's population decreased by more than half. The total damages caused by Katrina topped $135 million.
Like the enduring residents of NOLA after Katrina, FEMA is still there 12 years later.
In 2015, the Federal Emergency Management Administration released its 10-year report on hurricane Katrina recovery and relief efforts. The report states, "ten years into the recovery, FEMA continues to support communities and families, working side-by-side with state, local, and tribal partners to finish the job of rebuilding communities." FEMA has provided more than $22 billion in relief grants and funding to rebuild communities along the Gulf Coast.
It has been 12 years since Katrina, and FEMA still maintains a presence in New Orleans and other Gulf Coast areas and no one in the federal government has questioned the agency's continued role there.
However, just three weeks after hurricane Maria turned Puerto Rico from paradise to apocalyptic wasteland, Donald Trump has threatened to withdraw FEMA, the military, and other relief assistance from the island. Trump again alienated the people of Puerto Rico — most of whom remain without clean drinking water and basic needs — in an early morning Twitter rant on Thursday.
…We cannot keep FEMA, the Military & the First Responders, who have been amazing (under the most difficult circumstances) in P.R. forever!
Mother Nature unleashed her wrath on the island. However, Donald Trump is responsible for turning Puerto Rico into an isolated concentration camp in the middle of a "big ocean, a really, really big ocean surrounded by big ocean water." Trump has elevated his need to build walls between America and her Latino neighbors to a deplorable refusal to provide necessary humanitarian relief to Puerto Rico.
Trump has politicized the crisis in Puerto Rico to a point that during a Thursday press conference, his chief of staff John Kelly was asked if Trump "believed residents of Puerto Rico are American citizens."
If FEMA can remain in New Orleans for over a decade demonstrates the Trump regime's ignorant and bigoted attitude toward Puerto Rico. His Thursday morning threats come on the heels of an ongoing Trump fueled feud with the island's residents and San Juan's mayor. Trump also received widespread rebuke following a botched visit to the island during which he impersonated the Harlem Globe Trotters by shooting free throws with paper towels as his contribution to the relief efforts.
Throughout this intense hurricane season, Trump has consistently suggested — again, via Twitter as the official means of White House communication — that the federal government will never leave Texas and Florida. All he has done for Puerto Rico is to attempt comically to say "Puerto Rico" with an accent that is unrecognizable in any language.
It is obscene and sadistic that Trump wakes up each morning to close his eyes to the devastation and suffering that has gripped the island of Puerto Rico. As a Commonwealth Territory of the United States, Puerto Ricans deserve no less than any other citizens of any other state of the nation do and Trump has a sworn responsibility to provide relief, support, and every conceivable FEMA resource for ten years…or longer.
As the crisis in Puerto Rico not only continues, but also escalates, Trump must be held responsible for his malignant and deliberate indifference to his duty to the island. While they may not be able to vote, every citizen of Puerto Rico who has been affected by Trump's wanton disregard must demand that their elected officials send a clear message to the federal government. It is time that they demand that Trump be prosecuted for the reckless endangerment of every man, woman, and child on the island without water, sanitary living conditions, medical attention, or any other basic need.
In the midst of chaos and destruction, Puerto Ricans keep hope alive by raising the red, white, and blue of a nation. Photo: Hector Retamal/Getty Images.
Puerto Ricans deserve the same assistance, recovery, and rebuilding efforts as America has witnessed in New Orleans, Miami, and Houston. Not only Puerto Ricans must demand this, but every American of every other state. We must unite and demonstrate to the Trump regime that even a wall of water — "really big ocean water" — cannot separate our one nation.

Study the moon cycle with our Phases of the Moon worksheet for kids in 3rd to 8th grade.
Objective: Order the lunar phases chronologically and identify the type of moon at any time in the night sky.
MatchCard Information Pieces diagram the different shapes through the cycle of the moon. Students identify the name and chronological order of the lunar cycle.
This is MatchCard #4 of the Astronomy Unit Study. Find more information on MatchCard Science below.
Have a gift bag or box to show your students. Ask them to guess what is in it.
Have them open the bag and find it empty. Ask them how they would feel if they got something new they couldn't see. To prevent disappointment for some kids, you might like to have a small prize on hand. A paddle ball set with the ball attached to the paddle would be handy for this lesson, but not necessary. Then tell them we do get something new in the sky every month but we can't see it. It is the new moon.
Ottoman a student can spin on revolving chair or stool, though it is optional.
Step One: Demonstrate the Moon's Revolution.
This is easy. The Earthling sits in the chair and someone else holds the moon ball and walks around the person. They should hold the ball up higher than the head of the person sitting. Voiola! Four weeks in fast motion. This revolution of the moon is what causes the lunar phases.
Note that the moon revolves around the Earth, but does not rotate on its axis. This means that those of us on Earth generally see the same side of the moon.
We are going to do this revolution again, but now we will see why the moon appears to change shape during the moon cycle.
Position everyone so the sun is behind the Earth and the moon is in front of the Earth. With the moon held higher than the person's head, some light from the sun would reflect on the surface of the ball. This represents the full moon. Remember, the moon is only visible at night when the part of the Earth experiencing night is facing away. The sun is not visible, but the reflection of the sun on the moon is what causes the moon's light.
Move the moon in clock wise direction so it is halfway between it's original location and the sun. Notice that the half of the ball that is towards the sun is "shiney." It is reflecting the sun's light. The other half of the ball is darker. People on Earth would only see the shiney side reflecting the light. It is a half moon that they see. Draw a half moon.
Now move the moon so it is between the sun and the Earth. Remember to hold it up high enough so it is over the Earthling's head (otherwise you get an solar eclipse - but that's another lesson.) How much of the shiney part of the ball can you see? Actually, none. The person in the chair cannot see the part reflecting the sun's light. This is the New Moon. It always seemed strange that you couldn't see the new moon. I mean what's the use of a nice, brand new moon if you can't see it? But this is why - it starts its cycle between the Earth and sun.
Now move again so it is halfway between the original position and the sun on the otherside. Again, you see a half moon, but it is the other half.
Go ahead and draw those four moons: new moon, full moon, and two halves. Then we are ready to show the quarter moons.
Start again at the full moon, but now move only 1/4 of the way. You will see a gibbous - 3/4 of the moon is shining.
Continue moving the ball to the half moon which they saw before. Then move the moon so it is between the location of the half moon and the new moon. What part of the ball is shining? Why of course, it's the famous crescent moon shape.
When we read words on a page, we read left to right. Point out to the students that we 'read" a moon from right to left instead of left to right.
Why? Because the moon is orbiting the Earth in a counter-clockwise motion. If the moon orbited clockwise, we would read it left to right. Seems a little backwards, doesn't it?
Download the MatchCard below. Students can color the white part of the moon yellow with a highlighter or crayon to visualize which part of the moon is visible in the night sky. Point out to the students that we 'read" a moon from right to left instead of left to right.
You can cut apart the pictures, mix them up, and have them place them in order. Students will name the different moons later.
Use the famous black cookies with white filling to make the 8 different moons. This gives them practice making the shapes and putting them in order.
Okay, we have demonstrated the phases of the moon with balls and lights. Now let's watch the real deal.
Every night for a full lunar cycle, have the students look in the sky and draw or name the moon they see. Remember to "read" the moon from right to left. You can give on-the-spot quizzes from here on. When you see the moon, ask which phase of the moon cycle it is in.
Okay, we have learned what the moon is doing over a 28 day moon cycle. That was easy. Now we are going to learn what the moon is doing over a one night period.
Is that hard? Only if you and the kids have difficulty staying up all night. Get out the popcorn, some fun games, and lively music. You can watch old movies too. But just make sure you are doing something that everyone is willing to stop every hour and go look at the moon.
Does the moon change shape over night. No, but it changes it's location in the sky. Just as the sun moves from east to west across the sky, the moon moves too.
Learn to use a sky chart and chart the location of the moon hour by hour.
Why is it moving? Go back to the demonstration with the lamp, ball, and person sitting in the chair. Have the moon stand still and the person on the chair revolve 360 degrees to represent one day. Cut out the inside of a paper plate so he or she is looking out a round circle. As they rotate on the chair, the moon's location in the circular window changes.
Place the moons randomly face up in front of the student(s). Time how long it takes them to put them in correct order. Two people can complete with each other, or one student can compete with his or her own time.
Without looking at the MatchCard, have the student name the phases of the moon starting with the New Moon as fast as they can. Another person can time him or her. They can combine this with finding the right diagram as well.
