Q: JSON parse android with Retrofit i want parse json with retrofit2 but my code dose not work
this web service is:(please check the webservice):
http://services.groupkt.com/country/search?text=
this is my model class:
public class Country {

    @SerializedName("name")
    @Expose
    private String name;
    @SerializedName("alpha2_code")
    @Expose
    private String alpha2Code;
    @SerializedName("alpha3_code")
    @Expose
    private String alpha3Code;

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
       this.name = name;
    }

    public String getAlpha2Code() {
       return alpha2Code;
    }

    public void setAlpha2Code(String alpha2Code) {
        this.alpha2Code = alpha2Code;
    }

    public String getAlpha3Code() {
        return alpha3Code;
    }

    public void setAlpha3Code(String alpha3Code) {
        this.alpha3Code = alpha3Code;
    }
}

And:
public class CountryResponse {

    @SerializedName("messages")
    @Expose
    private List<String> messages = null;
    @SerializedName("result")
    @Expose
    private List<Country> countryList = null;

    public List<String> getMessages() {
        return messages;
    }

    public void setMessages(List<String> messages) {
        this.messages = messages;
    }

    public List<Country> getCountryList() {
        return countryList;
    }

    public void setCountryList(List<Country> countryList) {
        this.countryList = countryList;
    }
}

And:
public class Example {

    @SerializedName("RestResponse")
    @Expose
    private CountryResponse restResponse;

    public CountryResponse getRestResponse() {
        return restResponse;
    }

    public void setRestResponse(CountryResponse restResponse) {
       this.restResponse = restResponse;
    }
}

And this is my interface class:
public interface APIInterface {

    @GET("search?text=")
    Call<Example> getCountries();

}

And i write 2 classes for return retrofit object:
public class APIClient {

    private static Retrofit retrofit = null;

    public static Retrofit getClient(String baseUrl) {
        if (retrofit == null) {
            retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder().baseUrl(baseUrl)
                    .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create()).build();
         }
        return retrofit;
    }
}

public class APIUtils {

    public static final String BASE_URL =
"http://services.groupkt.com/country/";

    public static APIInterface getSOService() {
        return APIClient.getClient(BASE_URL).create(APIInterface.class);
    }
}

My Adapter:
public class ResponseAdapter extends
RecyclerView.Adapter<ResponseAdapter.ViewHolder> {

    private List<Example> mItems;
    private Context mContext;
    Example example;
    CountryResponse countyResponse;

    public ResponseAdapter(Context context, Example example) {

        this.example = example;
        mContext = context;
    }

    @Override
    public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {

        Context context = parent.getContext();
        LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.item_list, parent, false);
        ViewHolder viewHolder = new ViewHolder(view);

        return viewHolder;
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {

        Example example = mItems.get(position);
        TextView textView = holder.name;

        textView.setText(example.getRestResponse()
                .getCountryList().get(position).getName());

        TextView textView1 = holder.alpha;

        textView1.setText(example.getRestResponse().
                  getCountryList().get(position).getAl
                                   pha2Code());

        TextView textView2 = holder.alpha2;

          textView2.setText(example.getRestResponse().
                    getCountryList().get(position).getAl
                             pha3Code());

}

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return mItems.size();
    }

    public void updateAnswers(CountryResponse countryRes) {
        countyResponse = countryRes;
        notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

    private Example getItem(int adapterPosition) {
        return mItems.get(adapterPosition);
    }

     public interface PostItemListener {
        void onPostClick(long id);
    }

    public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

        TextView name, alpha, alpha2;

        public ViewHolder(View itemView) {
            super(itemView);

            name = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.name);
            alpha = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.alpha);
            alpha2 = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.alpha2);
        }
    }
}

And My Activity:
@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_response);
        apiInterface= APIUtils.getSOService();
        mRecyclerView= (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.my_recycler_view);
        mAdapter=new ResponseAdapter(this,new Example());

        RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager = new
LinearLayoutManager(this);
        mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
        mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
        mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);

        loadAnswers();
    }

    private void loadAnswers() {

        apiInterface.getCountries().enqueue(new Callback<Example>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(Call<Example> call, Response<Example>
 response) {
                mAdapter.updateAnswers(response.body().getRestResponse());
            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(Call<Example> call, Throwable t) {

            }
        });
    }

when run a error showing that
'java.util.Iterator java.util.List.iterator()' on a null object reference

A: You have
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return mItems.size();
}

public void updateAnswers(CountryResponse countryRes) {
    countyResponse = countryRes;
    notifyDataSetChanged();
}

Your List is not initialized in the first place. Secondly you need to populate your List with items. And your list must be Country list not of type Example
You need to change to
public void updateAnswers(CountryResponse countryRes) {
    mItems.addAll(countryRes.getCountryList())
    notifyDataSetChanged();
}

And also initialize the list
List<Country> mItems = new ArrayList();
// note its of type Country not of Example

Finally update your views accordingly in onBindViewHolder
textView.setText(mItems.get(position).getName());
textView1.setText(mItems.get(position).getAlpha2Code());
textView2.setText(mItems.get(position).getAlpha3Code());

No different tree then the org post. They prob did take a beating due to the cold weather that came though.
Found some more on my property. I was going to clean up the tree but now I will just leave it for the mushrooms. But thought it might be able to be eaten.
Got this one growing on my I believe oak tree. The tree seems to not be in good health on this side and the mushroom is taking well advantage of it. Look forward to see what everyone thinks it is. Maybe even getting to try to eat some. Thanks again everyone for the help.

What role should scientists have in politics?
by T2P2 | 0 comments
in Scientific World View
What role do scientists should have in the political process. Do they have a responsibility to advocate and champion their research to the public by becoming involved in the political process? What impact would this have on their research being viewed as impartial and objective?
The Theater of Public Policy seeks to explore these issues with an in-depth interview with representatives from Broad Impacts, a U of M Science Policy group. After discussing these ideas, an improvisational comedy team will breathe life into these ideas; bringing to life the ideas, concepts and memes from the conversation. Through thought provoking conversation and inspired humor, the policy issue will be illuminated.
The show takes place at 6:30pm on Thursday, Oct. 6th at Huge Theater, 3037 South Lyndale Avenue, Minneapolis and costs $5. The Theater of Public Policy is supported by InCommons and the Citizens League.

Michelle Obama Launched a Blistering Attack on Donald Trump in Support of Joe Biden
by Nasiru Eneji Abdulrasheed
On Monday, former first lady Michelle Obama launched a blistering attack on President Donald Trump and urged Americans to elect Democrat Joe Biden in November to end the chaos she said had been created during Trump's four years presidency.
In an impassioned address that ended the Democratic National Convention's first night, Obama said the Republican Trump "has had ample time to show he can do the job," but struggled to reach the moment in a world reeling from the coronavirus pandemic, economic instability, and racial inequality.
"Let me be as honest and clear as I possibly can. Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country," she said.
The former first lady contrasted dramatically the competence and character of former vice president Joe Biden to President Donald Trump.
Obama said, "Whenever we look to this White House for some leadership or consolation or any semblance of steadiness, what we get instead is chaos, division, and a total and utter lack of empathy," she said, calling him "the wrong president" for the United States.
"He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us. It is what it is," Obama said. "If you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me, they can; and they will if we don't make a change in this election. If we have any hope of ending this chaos, we have got to vote for Joe Biden as our lives depend on it."
Michelle Obama's blunt critique, frequently quoted in polls as one of the Democratic Party's most successful figures, might create the sort of voter excitement some Democrats felt they would miss a virtual convention.
The convention opened in the midst of widespread fears about the health of voting due to the pandemic.
Democrats have promoted mail voting as a secure option, but Trump has announced that it is vulnerable to fraud, and has blocked U.S. emergency assistance. The postal service restricts voting by mail.
In the November election, the former first lady called on Americans in her most personal speech, and her most direct critique of Trump to date to "vote for Joe Biden like our lives rely on it."
"We have to vote for Joe Biden in numbers that cannot be ignored," she said. "We have got to grab our comfortable shoes, put on our masks, pack a brown bag dinner and maybe breakfast too because we've got to be willing to stand in line all night if we have to."
Obama responded to these issues, saying that those who could not win a fair election were attempting to stop people from voting by closing polling sites in minority areas, purging voting rolls, and lying about mail-in ballot protection.

Liberals, progressives, democrats, and some Republicans gathered at Monday night's virtual event to warn of the risks a Trump administration faces for four more years, and to foster dreams for a better future.
Close to four years after leaving the White House, the former first lady remains a highly popular figure within the party, especially among Black women, as well as with those outsides of the party.

how to make a box and whisker plot calculator
Rows 20 and 24 don't figure into this step. In descriptive statistics, a box plot or boxplot is a method for graphically depicting groups of numerical data through their quartiles.Box plots may also have lines extending from the boxes (whiskers) indicating variability outside the upper and lower quartiles, hence the terms box-and-whisker plot and box-and-whisker diagram.Outliers may be plotted as individual points. TI-84: Box Plots . Your graphing calculator may or may not indicate whether a box-and-whisker plot includes outliers. Creating a box and whiskers plot. 3:20. Get the box and whisker plot calculator available online for free only at CoolGyan. A box and whisker plot provide more statistical information on a single chart than you would normally be able to fit. So that's my number line. To make this determination, calculate the Interquartile Range (IQR), which is found by subtracting Q 3 – Q 1; then multiply IQR by 1.5. How to Make a Box and Whisker Plot . Turn on the Stat Plot. 20, 120, 160, 200, 210, 250, 290, 350, 380, 460, 510 580. The median is not the average. The generator will quickly plot you the box and whisker plot graph for you. Let's say this is 5. BYJU'S online box and whisker plot calculator tool make the calculation faster, and it displays the quartile value in a fraction of seconds. The whiskers on the plots are drawn at most 1.5 IQR distance units away from the box, however, if the whisker is to be drawn beyond the bound of the data vector, then it is redrawn at the edge of the data instead (i.e. The boxes may have lines extending vertically called "whiskers". The following figure shows the box plot for the same data with the maximum whisker length specified as 1.0 times the interquartile range. These graphing calculators accept data sets in the form of values separated by commas. … There are different conventions, but the most common one indicate that the central box limits are determined by the quartiles \(Q_1\) and \(Q_3\). You can use your TI-84 Plus calculator to construct a box plot for your data. Although older versions of Excel don't have a box and whisker plot maker, you can create one by converting a stacked column chart into a box plot and then adding the whiskers. Follow these steps after you calculate all the statistics: Select the data for the boxes in the box-and-whisker plot. If your data has outliers, consider constructing a modified box plot instead of a box plot. So let's say that's 0. CPM Student Tutorials CPM Content Videos TI-84 Graphing Calculator Univariate Data TI-84: Box Plots. Box and Whisker Plot Calculator is a free online tool that displays the graphical representation for the given set of data. Press [2nd][Y=][2] to access Plot2. The box-and-whiskers plot is drawn on a number line. Make a box and whisker plot for each column of x or each vector in sequence x. Construct a box-and-whisker plot for the following data: The data: Math test scores 80, 75, 90, 95, 65, 65, 80, 85, 70, 100. Easily Create a box and a whisker graph with this online Box and Whisker Plot calculator tool. In a boxplot, the numerical data is shown using five numbers as a summary: Minimum, Maximum, First Quartile, Second Quartile (Median), Third Quartile. And now, we've figured out all of the information we need to actually plot or actually create or actually draw our box and whisker plot. Excel Box Plot. A Box Plot is also known as Whisker plot is created to display the summary of the set of data values having properties like minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile and maximum. The steps for constructing box plots and modified box plots are the same, except in Step 5 you select the modified box plot symbol. Drawing two boxplots above the same number line supposes that the data behind each deserve to be compared. Let's start by making a box-and-whisker plot (also known as a "box plot") of the geometry test scores we saw earlier: 90, 94, 53, 68, 79, 84, 87, 72, 70, 69, 65, 89, 85, 83, 72. Our simple box plot maker allows you to generate a box-and-whisker graph from your dataset and save an image of your chart. Step 4. In the box plot, a box is created from the first quartile to the third quartile, a verticle line is also there which goes through the box at the median. In a modified box plot, the whiskers represent data in the range defined by 1.5(Q3 – Q1), and the outliers are plotted as points beyond the whiskers. Sometimes there is ONE piece of data that falls well outside the range of the other values. And let's say that this right over here is a 0. These graphers also calculate the quartiles, standard deviation and mean and present these statistical parameters on the same diagram. For instance, the above problem includes the points 10.2, 15.9 , and 16.4 as outliers. This is the lower quartile (Q1). To use this tool, enter the y-axis title (optional) and input the dataset with the numbers separated by commas, line breaks, or spaces (e.g., 5,1,11,2 or 5 1 11 2) for every group. Now, we need to find the median. These lines indicate variability outside the upper and lower quartiles, and any point outside those lines or whiskers is considered an outlier. The top box is smaller and the whiskers do not extend as far. Press [2nd Y= makes STAT PLOT] [ENTER]. Press [2nd 1 makes L1] [ENTER]. Step 2: Find the median of the data. So let me draw a number line, so my best attempt at a number line. Select list 1, frequency 1, and squares for outliers. Hello all, I have a single set of values that I'd like to display as a horizontal box plot. MySecretMathTutor 51,404 views. Add this amount to the value of Q 3 and subtract this amount from Q 1. It lets you see at a glance the median and the range of data points that lie within each quartile. One setting on my graphing calculator gives the simple box-and-whisker plot which uses only the five-number summary, so the furthest outliers are shown as being the endpoints of the whiskers: Freq is probably already set to 1. Since the notches in the box plot do not overlap, you can conclude, with 95% confidence, that the true medians do differ. A box plot is constructed from five values: the minimum value, the first quartile, the median, the third quartile, and the maximum value. In this worksheet, that's B21:D23. The box extends from the lower to upper quartile values of the data, with a line at the median. Median is defined as the point that divides the number of data points in half. A box and whisker chart shows distribution of data into quartiles, highlighting the mean and outliers. Press 'Enter' again to turn Plot 1 on. Press [2nd] [Stat Plot]. They also show how far the extreme values are from most of the data. This is also called quartile 2 (Q2). Inside of the central box there is line that represents the median (which is the same as \(Q_2\)). A box plot in excel is a pictorial representation or a chart that is used to represent the distribution of numbers in a dataset. TI-84 Video: Box Plots 1. Note: This is an advanced Excel technique, so if you are new to Excel you may want to watch the video, which has more information and visuals for each step to make a box and whiskers chart in Excel. Parameters: x: Array or a sequence of vectors. How to Make a Box and Whiskers Chart in Excel: Steps. Select INSERT | Recommended Charts, and then select the sixth option to add a stacked column chart to the worksheet. The second thing to note about the two box and whisker graphs is that the top plot is not as spread out at the bottom one. Make a box and whisker plot. This gives you a wider boundary around the median than the box does. Follow Steps 1 through 9 for constructing a histogram. Press [ ] [ 3 times] [ENTER] [ ]. In Step 5, select the Box Plot symbol, which looks a bit like a battery turned on its side; see the first screen. Box plots or box and whisker charts can be constructed for different sample sets to compare distributions. Observe the following data set below that shares a basketball players points scored per game over a seven game span: Step One: The first step to creating a box and whisker plot is to arrange the values in the data set from least to greatest. It's hard to get a visualized measure of the variation when using the stem-and-leaf plot. This single piece of data is called an outlier. Press 'Enter'. Statistics - How to make a box and whisker plot with a calculator (Ti-83/84) - Duration: 3:20. I can obviously make the vertical box plot using Excel's automatic chart function, but it would fit in my document much better as a horizontal plot. The so-called box-and-whiskers plot shows a clear indication of the quartiles of a sample as well of whether or not there are outliers. Online box plot graphers and calculators, to help you understand the quartiles and spread of data, are presented. Median definition. Box plots (also called box-and-whisker plots or box-whisker plots) give a good graphical image of the concentration of the data. You just have to enter a minimum of four values in the given input field. it is clamped, to avoid it exceeding). It indicates how the values in the dataset are spread out.

Learn how to use the box and whisker plot calculator with the step-by-step procedure. Step 1: Order the data from least to greatest. Step 3: Find the median of the data less than Q2. Now we're going to introduce a second kind of plot namely the box-and-whiskers plot. The whiskers extend from the box to show the range of the data. Violin plots are simply better! More on how to calculate median, you can see on our post descriptive statistics examples. These instructions apply to Excel 2019, Excel 2016, Excel for Microsoft 365, Excel 2013, and Excel 2010. In order to compare the two stores sales performance, we will make two box and whisker plots, one for Store 1 and one for Store 2. The box always extends from the 25th to 75th percentiles.

I love this album's cover art. How awesome would it be to have that on a vinyl sleeve?
This self-titled effort is the Swedish band's fourth release (third on the Frontiers label) and delivers more of the sleaze 'n' glam metal goods. I'll admit, it took me a few spins before some of the songs really started to click with me but "Girls of the '80s" was an obvious standout for me from the get-go.
I've seen a number of people comment that "Psycho City" reminds them of KISS… Not getting that at all, although I do think the song is one of the best from the album. One song that does remind me of a band is "Ain't No Rest in Rock N' Roll", which has the band sounding a bit like an AC/DC clone.
Other highlights for me are "I Missed the Mark" and "All Looks, No Hooks". Great melodic hard rock that at times reminds me of Danger Danger, just not as polished.
I heard all three of the band's Frontiers Records releases. While I don't think the band has delivered a knockout release just yet, all three have been good. Nothing here matches the intensity and catchiness of "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" or "Church of Rock" (both from Riot Avenue) but this may be the band's most consistent album yet.
Highlights: "Hell Raising Women", "Girls of the '80s", "I Missed the Mark", "All Looks, No Hooks", "Call to Action", "Psycho City"

6. Commitment
7. And You Were Gone

9. Mother
10. Time For Me To Go
Producer: Soren Andersen & Mike Tramp
Mike Tramp returns with another heartfelt and emotional collection of acoustic rock/pop tracks. Last year's Cobblestone Street was good but I enjoyed it less than I did 2011's Stand Your Ground. Luckily, Museum is an improvement over last year's effort and the music is slightly more upbeat (although the album is still very mellow and slow-tempo songs).
One thing I've always loved about Tramp are his lyrics. You can tell they are very personal to him. Whether he's talking about his mother, his life growing up or making a statement about society, the lyrics are very intimate and you know he means them.
Tramp's solo material is not something I pull out (or queue up) often, but when I do, I always end up enjoying it. I think you have to be in a more laid-back mood to listen to it. There's no hard rock to be found here. If you're expecting something to sound like White Lion, you really aren't going to get it. The closest he gets to rocking out are the songs "Down South" and "Slave" which are very bluesy and sound like something you might hear from The Black Keys. The music is all acoustic-driven and while I prefer good ol' riffing on an electric guitar, whenever I sit down and listen to Tramp's solo material, it's always an enjoyable experience.
Museum is not in-your-face and bombastic. Mike Tramp albums never are, but this is a good disc to spin if you're just looking to kick back and relax or possibly get a little introspective.
Highlights: "Trust In Yourself", "New World Coming", "Better", "Time For Me To Go"

OH MY GOD. This is the fourth live Whitesnake album in three years. ENOUGH. I love this band, but ENOUGH. Just put out the new studio album already! Truth be told, Live in '84 was released as a DVD/CD combo package but all I have to go buy is the digital version of the CD. The DVD features more performances than the audio version.
I'm not really sure what's going on with this release anyway. Did we really need two live versions of "Guilty of Love", "Slow an' Easy"and "Gambler" along with THREE live versions of "Love Ain't No Stranger" and "Ready an' Willing"? I don't get it. And there's not much information about these tracks or this album in general other than they are bootlegs from 1984 that have been cleaned up by David Coverdale & Michael McIntyre.
From what I've pieced together by researching online, tracks 1-9 are random bootlegs (presumably the best) that Coverdale was able to track down from various dates of Whitesnake's 1984 Slide It In world tour. Tracks 10-12 are from August of 1984 at a festival called Super-Rock, which was held in Japan. Bon Jovi, Scorpions, The Michael Schenker Group and Anvil also played at the festival. Tracks 1-12 feature the band as the four-piece of Coverdale, Sykes, Murray and Powell. Guitarist Mel Galley had broken his arm and sat out the rest of the tour while Jon Lord had already left the band. Richard Bailey toured with the band as keyboardist and played off-stage.
Finally, there's track 13, which is a medley that features Jon Lord's final performance in the band before rejoining Deep Purple.
This live version of "Crying in the Rain" is particularly notable. Despite the professional bootleg quality, it's a much stronger sounding song than the studio version. Look, all of the music here is good. Live Whitesnake is always good. I just question their rapid-fire delivery of live albums and the repeating of songs on this DVD/CD. Seems like something more appropriate for a box set. Had the track list varied, I'd look more favorably upon Live in '84. This is a decent album but I recommend it only to die-hards.
Highlights: "Guilty of Love", "Love Ain't No Stranger", "Slow An' Easy", "Crying in the Rain"

Skid Row is back with the second installment of their United World Rebellion series of EPs, which I think is meant to be a trilogy. Personally, I think this is a great way for bands to go about releasing music — a steady stream of EPs and then maybe do a double or triple disc compilation later down the line.
Not sure why it took these guys seven years before they released new music but a fire has certainly been lit under them. I never bothered with Thickskin or Revolutions Per Minute because both albums were reviewed by mostly everyone as being poor or mediocre, but the United World Rebellion series shows the band still has a snotty punky attitude and continues to show why they were one of the heaviest of the "hair bands" back in the early 1990s. "We are the Damned" is a true headbanger and the best track on the album. Though I enjoyed the first United World Rebellion, I was caught off guard by how good this track is.
The band wraps up the second chapter by superbly covering a few Queen and Aerosmith classics. If you're looking for something the band to try to recreate the past with some glossy hair metal, you're not going to find it on these recent EPs but what you will get is good solid heavy metal and hard rock. If this is the type of music the band continues to release, I don't have any interest in ever seeing them reunited for a nostalgia run with Sebastian Bach (who I happen to like as a solo artist anyway).
Highlights: "We are the Damned", "Catch Your Fall", "Zero Day", "Sheer Heart Attack", "Rats in the Cellar"

Producer: Kip Winger, Jason Green & Dan Hubp
Better Days Comin' sounds right at home next to the band's previous two releases: IV and Karma. I personally always felt IV was a bit too boring, progressive and serious, but Better Days Comin' seems to capture the "mature" vibe of that album a bit better either musically or lyrically with tracks like "Storm in Me", "Tin Soldier", "Be Who You Are Now" and "Rat Race" (which is probably the album's best rocker). Similar to Karma though, the band is interjects some good old-fashioned fun with sex-charged tracks like "Midnight Driver of a Love Machine" and "Queen Babylon".
"So Long China" is probably my favorite track and it's one that has many Winger fans calling for a Kip Winger AOR album. "Out of This World" is another exceptional track and "Ever Wonder" is a classic deep-track Winger ballad. "Better Days Comin'" is pretty interesting. It starts out kinda trippy and Kip reminds me of Chris Cornell, then it breaks down into a funky rocker with the chorus. "Tin Soldier" reminds me a bit of something that Dream Theater might do (with about 8 minutes shaved off).
One particular thing I've noticed about this album are the lyrics. I will have to go back and check out the lyrics on their earlier releases again, but some of the words on Better Days Comin' have really struck a chord with me. "Ever Wonder", "So Long China", "Out of this World" especially hit home with me.
This is one of those times where I like realy the album, but I don't really have a whole lot to say about it so if you're a Winger fan, go out and buy it or do whatever you have to do to listen to it. You won't be disappointed.
Highlights: "Midnight Driver of a Love Machine", "Queen Babylon", "Rat Race", "Tin Soldier", "Ever Wonder", "So Long China", "Be Who You Are Now", "Out of This World"

Producer: Bob Marlette
The most recent outing from Sebastian Bach sees him recruiting a few other well-known musicians to help out. Steve Stevens, John 5 and Duff McKagan (who handled the majority of bass playing duties, I believe) all lend a hand in the recording and writing process of Give 'Em Hell.
For the most part, this album continues down the path of modern hard rock & heavy metal that Baz has been walking on for quite some time. While Sebastian has publicly said he'd like to do a reunion with the rest of Skid Row, he isn't spending his days as a solo act trying to recreate the vibe of his old band. Well, Skid Row was always heavier than the rest of the hair metal acts and heaviness is something Bach has retained as a solo artist but he's not trying to put out new songs that sound like it's still 1989.
In his mid-40s, Bach shows no sign of slowing down or softening up whether you're talking about his approach to singing or the content of the songs themselves. Sebastian is a controversial figure at times due to his opinions but you can't take away that he's one of the best singers (if not THE best) of his generation. Bach is still going all out on vocals on this album and that's a testament to his natural born abilities and training as a singer to still be able to do what he does after so many years.
As for the music itself, Give 'Em Hell finds Sebastian doing exactly that — giving 'em hell. I don't think this album is as melodic as his last two albums were but this is the most consistently heavy album Bach has done yet (the heaviest solo song he's ever done would still probably be Angel Down's "American Metalhead"). Bobby Jarzombek is still a monster on the drums and the album is full of crunchy riffs.
There are two occasions when this album lets up: the power ballad "Had Enough" and "Rock N' Roll is a Vicious Game" (an April Wine cover). After Bach's last two albums delivered exception ballads, I was really looking forward to what, if any, ballads would appear here. Unfortunately, "Had Enough" falls a bit short in comparison to the likes of "I'm Alive", "By Your Side" and "Falling Into You" but it is still a fine track. The April Wine cover is a song I'm not familiar with and given the style of the rest of the album, it sticks out like a sore thumb. It's not bad, just odd-sounding given that the rest of the album comes across as pretty modern rock/metal.
I have a big soft spot for Angel Down (that album still holds my favorite Sebastian Bach songs) but in addition to being consistently heavy, Give 'Em Hell may be Bach's most consistent album from a quality standpoint.
Highlights: "Hell Inside My Head", "Temptation", "Push Away", "Dominator", "Had Enough", "Taking Back Tomorrow", "Disengaged", "Forget You"

Loud Lion (Or is it LoudLion? I've seen it spelled both ways by the band and the record label…) is a project put together by indie rock/pop musician & producer Bleu along with some help from members of the Donnas, Rooney and Bang Camaro and a few others. Their goal? To emulate Def Leppard and the "Mutt Lange sound" just as good and as better as any band before them. Loud Lion… Def Leppard… get it? Bleu has another project that plays music in a style similar to Electric Light Orchestra (E.L.O.) called L.E.O.
The band was first put together over 7 years ago. The handful of songs out there before the release of Die Tough were available on the band's MySpace band years ago along with some appearances on a few movie soundtracks such as The Hills Have Eyes 2 and Balls of Fury. Loud Lion even covered Def Leppard's "Rock of Ages" on the Balls of Fury soundtrack.
To my knowledge, "Lion's Den", "Lion Eyes", "Sunset Slip" and "None More Fast" have never been released until now. I'm not sure if they are recent songs or if they came from the same sessions years back that produced much of the rest of the album. As far as I can tell, the rest of the tracks are the very same ones that were released years ago.
I know a Loud Lion album was supposed to happen a very long time ago. Not sure what happened there because it's been about 7 years since Loud Lion first released some music. Even now in the wake of this album's release the band's Facebook & Twitter pages haven't been updated since 2011.
I still love the previously released material the best but "Lion's Den" and "Sunset Slip" are cool tracks. As Def Leppard is sometimes more prone to sounding like a '70s glam rock band these days (C'mon, Joe, that's what the Down 'N' Outz are for!), I am always in a welcoming mood for any group that wants to emulate what Def Leppard did with Mutt Lange in the 1980s. Similar to the KISS-like 1977, many of these tracks are meant to slightly remind you of a few Def Leppard classics. There's enough of a difference to keep things interesting and for the songs to have their own identity while still invoking those familiar vibes and warm fuzzy feelings that you might get from listening to Def Leppard's "Rocket" or "Love Bites".
While much of the material isn't exactly recent, it's still great to finally see Loud Lion get an album release. Hopefully people take notice and Bleu will give us some new Loud Lion songs in the future. This is a must have release for fans of Def Leppard. It's the greatest album Def Leppard never recorded!
Highlights: "Love Will Break Your Heart", "Lion's Den", "Die Tuff", "Loud Lion Theme Song", "Dawn of the Dead", "The Hills Have Eyes", "Sunset Slip"

10. "Colleen" – Seduce
Any metal-head worth their weight in steel is well aware of this documentary that was released in 1988. It's a truly fascinating look at life as rocker in the 1980s. For better or worse, warts and all, it absolutely captures a time and a vibe & scene that can never truly be replicated no matter how "retro" a band may act.
As it stands, the soundtrack to The Decline of the Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years is a solid compilation. Sure, bands like Seduce and Rigor Mortis didn't stand the test of time but when it comes to the '80s metal scene, you can't really argue against the inclusion of bands like Motorhead, Lizzy Borden, Megadeth, Alice Cooper, Guns N' Roses, Metal Church or even Faster Pussycat. It was all metal one way or another.
The documentary itself was actually what turned me on to Megadeth as they performed "In My Darkest Hour" in the film and it certainly made an impression on me.
The lack of Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, Poison, KISS or W.A.S.P. is a bit odd given how their stature and appearances in the documentary but the soundtrack isn't meant to be all encompassing. If it was, we'd be putting up with having to listen to the likes of London, Tuff and Odin, too. A few tracks either start or end with audio clips from the film.
We could argue for hours over who truly deserves to be included on a compilation of '80s metal but this soundtrack is just a taste of what that era had to offer and is meant to tie in most closely with bands featured in the documentary. Keep that in mind and what you've got is a good collection of '80s rock & metal that will fit right in with your retro denim vest.

Babylon A.D. – Lost Sessions/Fresno CA 93 [Review]
Babylon A.D. – Lost Sessions/Fresno, CA 93
2014, Apocalypse Records/Perris Records
1. Love Blind
2. While America Sleeps
3. Love Is a Mystery
4. Bang Go the Bells
Derek Davis – Vocals
Ron Freschi – Guitar
Danny De La Rosa – Guitar
Robb Reid – Bass
Jamey Pacheco – Drums
This EP is new release of old songs (even the re-recording of "Bang Go the Bells" is a few years old) but that doesn't deter from the quality of music. Late bloomers in the '80s hair metal scene, Babylon A.D. has regrouped yet again for a run of shows throughout 2014 and have given us this glimpse into "what could've been" with three unreleased tracks that were recorded in 1993 and a newer version of their signature song "Bang Go the Bells" that was recorded in 2010.
The first three tracks were recorded, presumably, for a third album. Ultimately, a third studio release from the band wouldn't happen until 2002 with the release of American Blitzkreig as the band became inactive in the face of the changing musical climate in the early 1990s.
"Love Blind" is a great rocker. It's a shame this song got scuttled due to the rise of grunge and alternative music. The riff is great. Very catchy song.
"While America Sleeps" is okay but basically filler.
Clocking in at nearly 7 minutes, "Love Is a Mystery" seems like the band's attempt at writing an epic ballad. Parts of it remind me of Great White but other parts have a dark vibe to it. It's good.
Finally, we arrived at the 2010 rendition of "Bang Go the Bells". It's fine. Derek Davis' voice may be slightly weaker but at least they didn't try to reinvent the song and modernize it.
Fans of Babylon A.D. will enjoy this look back at what the band was up to in 1993. The physical CD price of $12+ is a bit ridiculous for four songs but you can score the MP3 album version for under $4.

Phil Ashley – Keyboards
Kevin Valentine – Drums ("You Love Me to Hate You")
Producer: Gene Simmons & Paul Stanley
Another very commercial album though not as slick as Crazy Nights, even if it did produce the ballad "Forever" (that Paul Stanley co-wrote with Michael Bolton) which reached #8 on the Billboard charts as a single and the band's first major radio hit in years.
The main problem with Hot In The Shade is that at 15 songs, it's just too much and there's obvious filler like pretty much ever Gene song. "Cadillac Dreams", "Prisoner of Love", "The Street Giveth and the Street Taketh Away" and "Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell" could've easily been left off but I'm sure Gene wanted equal time to Paul, even if the quality wasn't there.
"Hide My Heart" was the lead single and was a very minor hit. I actually remember hearing that song on the radio when I was a kid though. It wasn't until years later when I got into KISS that my mind was blown after having heard the song again for the first time in nearly 10 years — "That was KISS?!?"
Anyway, this album is underrated despite being a bit bloated. "Rise to It" and "Betrayed" sound like they could've come from the Asylum album, "Hide Your Heart" is a pop-metal masterpiece, "Read My Body" is an enjoyable Def Leppard rip-off, "Love's a Slap in the Face" is the one good Gene song here, "Forever" is one of the greatest hair metal ballads ever and "Silver Spoon" and "King of Hearts" feature Paul in all his pop-metal glory. "King of Hearts" starts off reminding me of "Shocker" from soundtrack for the film of the same name (which Paul also sang on).
Hot In Shade is a fine 1980s glossy slab of hard rock but in the early 1990s, the band would decide to get a bit tougher with their next release.

"No Escape" is one of those low-profile movies that often don't get the attention they deserve. The story is about an American family who moves to a country in south-east Asia for work but finds itself in the middle of a bloody rebellion and tries to escape.
The plot could be divided in just a few sequences, however, each one of them made me eager to see what follows. The sequence on the hotel rooftop, where Jack, his wife Annie and their two children are trapped, is original, bold, realistic and well-directed. Notice how the way the second child passes to the other side is different from the first, making the scene more interesting. When the family hides in the destroyed building, pay attention to the dialogue between the little girl and her parents, which is both believable and touching. The scene where they pass through the angry mob with a motorcycle is another example of how to raise tension and develop different characters (I am referring to the man who didn't give them away) simply and effectively.
The direction creates an atmosphere of chaos, with corpses lying around, the rebels moving like a pack of wolves and the city becoming even more menacing when night falls. A friend of mine mentioned he didn't like the use of slow motion but I was not annoyed by it, besides it is limited to the first half.
Owen Wilson plays Jack, who becomes a hero to save his family. I appreciate the fact he surpasses his limits but remains human all the time. His connection to the rebellion is interesting too and makes the script more coherent. I didn't know Lake Bell, nevertheless, she impressed me with her performance as a mother who struggles along with her husband to keep their children alive. Sterling Jerins and Claire Geare impersonate Jack and Annie's daughters; I have to say American child actresses never seize to amaze me. It is difficult to imagine how a father, a mother and their two little kids will behave under such extreme circumstances but everyone involved did a great job to make scenes realistic and exciting. As for Pierce Brosnan, he plays an agent, a role he knows well. His character has more depth than you would expect: he feels sorry for his past and gives the audience an opportunity to reflect on the political and social situation of a poor country, plagued by blind violence.
"No Escape" surprised me pleasantly and is among the best movies I have seen in 2015. It has tension, solid performances, realistic presentation and loveable characters. The ending made an impression on me too.

Norton's out, who's next?
JAbrams
Interior Secretary Gale Norton announced this weekend she'll leave her job by month's end . Norton, the first female to head the Interior Department, was widely known as a protege of Reagan's anti-environmental Interior Secretary James Watt, and as a friend to mining, energy and logging interests. Among her more significant acts as Secretary, she reversed a Clinton-era ban on snowmobiles in Yellowstone, halted Grizzly reintroduction to Idaho, doubled public land drilling permits, eliminated Wilderness Study Area status for millions of acres in Utah, and handed management and recovery of wolves to the states. One of her most significant forest-related efforts was an attempt to free up from the guidelines of the Northwest Forest Plan 2.5 million acres of BLM land in Western Oregon, making them available for commercial logging.
The Idaho Statesman notes that she was well-liked by Western Republicans, particularly Idaho's Governor Kempthorne, who is apparently on the short list to be her replacement.
The New York Times, echoing the sentiments of many conservation and environmental groups, editorialized "Ms. Norton has been an extraordinarily faithful steward of the Bush agenda — but not, we are sad to say, of the lands she was obliged to protect."
There is some speculation that her reasons for leaving now have to do with the scandal brewing over the ties between disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff and Steven Griles, her former deputy Secretary, though Norton has repeatedly denied this.
What remains unwritten is how Norton's legacy will be seen in the future - as a lone rightward swing in a Department gradually growing more conservation-minded, or as the beginning of a trend towards less Federal regulation and more state-level involvement in land and resource management.

HOME EVENTS EXHIBITION NEWS IDEX 2019 ARTICLE
Highly protected [IDEX19D3]
CHRISTOPHER F FOSS
General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) (Stand 03-C07) is showing for the first time in the Middle East a model of its new infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) it has proposed for the Australian Army Land 400 Phase 3 requirement for a mounted close combat capability (MCCC), and other potential export customers.
This leverages from the Ajax family of tracked vehicles that GDLS –UK has developed to meet the requirements of the British Army to replace its Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) Scorpion family.
The new vehicle for Australia is fitted with a GDLS-designed two-person turret armed with a stabilised 30mm dual-feed cannon and a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun, coupled to a computerised fire control system. Hull and turret are fitted with a modular passive armour package to provide a high level of protection, especially against mines and improvised explosive devices. For improved protection against rocket propelled grenades and anti-tank guided weapons, a hard kill defensive aids system is fitted.
In addition to its crew of commander, gunner and driver, the vehicle can carry six dismounts, who can rapidly enter and leave via the power-operated ramp.
The Land 400 Phase 3 requirement is for 450 vehicles to replace the currently deployed M113AS4 series vehicles. There are two elements to the MCCC: an IFV and a manoeuvre support vehicle (MSV). Australia issued the request for tender in August 2018 and these have to be returned by 1 March 2019, with a down-select to two contenders for a risk mitigation activity before final down-select to one vehicle. Projected initial operating capability is in 2024/25. The British Army is due to take delivery of 589 Ajax series, with initial production being undertaken in Spain, followed by transfer to the UK at GDLS' facilities in South Wales.
In addition to the dedicated Ajax reconnaissance vehicle fitted with a two-person turret armed with a CTAI 40mm Cased Telescoped Armament System and 7.62mm coaxial machine gun, there is a family of variants already developed. These are the Ares armoured personnel carrier, Athena command and control vehicle, Apollo support vehicle with crane, Atlas recovery vehicle, and the Argus engineer vehicle.

Intramuscular oxygen-ozone therapy in the treatment of acute back pain with lumbar disc herniation: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, clinical trial of active and simulated lumbar paravertebral injection.
Dario Apuzzo, Paoloni M, Di Sante L, Cacchio A, , Marotta S, Razzano M, Franzini M, Santilli V.
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Unit, Azienda Policlinico Umberto I, Rome, Italy.
STUDY DESIGN: Multicenter randomized, double-blind, simulated therapy-controlled trial in a cohort of patients with acute low back pain (LBP) due to lumbar disc herniation (LDH).
OBJECTIVE: To assess the benefit of intramuscular-paravertebral injections of an oxygen-ozone (O2O3) mixture. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Recent findings have shown that O2O3 therapy can be used to treat LDH that fails to respond to conservative management. However, these findings are based on intradiscal/intraforaminal O2O3 injection, whereas intramuscular-paravertebral injection is the technique used most in clinical practice in Italy and other Western countries.
METHODS: Sixty patients suffering from acute LBP caused by LDH was randomized to an intramuscular O2O3 or control group. Patients were observed up to assess pain intensity, LBP-related disability, and drug intake (15 [V2] and 30 [V3] days after treatment started, and 2 weeks [V4], and 3 [V5] and 6 [V6] months after treatment ended).
RESULTS: A significant difference between the 2 groups in the percentage of cases who had become pain-free (61% vs. 33%, P < 0.05) was observed at V6. Patients who received O2O3 had a lower mean pain score than patients who received simulated therapy throughout the observation period. A significant improvement was observed in LBP-related disability in the study group patients when compared with the control group patients. Active O2O3 therapy was followed by a significantly lower number of days on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs at V2 and V3 and by a lower number of days at V4. No adverse events were reported.
CONCLUSION: Treatment of LBP and sciatica is a major concern. Although the natural history of acute LBP is often self-limiting, conservative therapies are not always effective; in such cases, O2O3 intramuscular lumbar paravertebral injections, which are minimally invasive, seem to safely and effectively relieve pain, as well as reduce both disability and the intake of analgesic drugs.

The necklaces are about 11.5″-12.5″ (29cm-32cm) in length.
The necklaces, anklets and bracelets are not for chewing or wearing at night. The necklaces / anklets are suitable to be worn during the day by babies from 3-4 months of age and it is never too late for children to start to wear them.
The image above show a range of amber anklets in a wide variety of colours.
The anklets/bracelets are 5.5″ – 6″ (14cm-15.5cm).
They each have a threaded amber clasp and they are knotted between each bead, for extra safety. They are made from the highest grade of 100% Baltic amber. No two beads or necklaces are exactly alike.
The word amber is derived from the old Arabic word "ambar." The Greek for amber is elektron.Amber is not a mineral or gemstone, but a fossilised sap from prehistoric trees, which grew as long as 50million years ago.
All the feedback received from parents has been positive.
The image below show necklaces which are raw amber. The darker shade is raw sea amber.

Q: Vim disable the display of accents in latex file I have a problem when writing with vim in a .tex file.
When I type, for example :
\`e

I automatically get :
è

Which I would like to disable, because it is really annoying when writing, the cursor is then not well placed because it reads \'e and not è while showing è.
I've only found solutions to show the accents and not disable them.
I know one of the solutions could be to set the file as plain text but I suppose that the syntax colour wouldn't be as enhanced.
Thank you in advance

A: I think, what you are seeing, is the conceal feature of Vim, of which you can read about at :h new-conceal
If you don't want the concealing, you can disable it  altogether using:
:set conceallevel=0
You can further finetune when to conceal characters in the help at
:h g:ft-tex-syntax or more specifically :h g:tex_conceal

At approximately 2230 hours on February 20, 2016 Deputies made contact with a Victim in reference to a vehicle with a flashing red light acting as if it were an emergency vehicle.
Victim stated that she was going home from Hope with some friends on Highway 73 west, approximately halfway between Hope and Crossroads. She stated that a truck with a flashing red light on the dash board came up behind them at a quick rate of speed and then drove very close to the rear of their vehicle.
She stated that they pulled over to let the vehicle pass them but he pulled in behind them like he was trying to pull them over. She stated that they sat there for a few minutes and no one got out of the truck behind them so a friend of hers got out of their vehicle.
She stated that as soon as he opened the door the vehicle behind them drove off. She stated that it appeared to be a white Chevrolet Silverado. She stated that she couldn't see anyone in the truck and couldn't get a license plate number. She stated that it was odd to her because when they drove by she could hear what she described as "clown" or "carnival" music coming from the Silverado. She stated that the truck then accelerated and drove off so quickly that they never saw it again on their way to Saratoga.
As Sheriff, I want to remind all citizens to be cautious when a situation like this occurs, my first suggestion to citizens would be to call 911 and tell the dispatcher your location and ask if there is a Deputy in the area trying to make a traffic stop on your vehicle. If not, under no circumstances stop for the vehicle and ask the dispatcher to dispatch a deputy or other law enforcement officer to your location.
Hempstead County Sheriff's office vehicles are clearly marked, we do have some unmarked vehicles however they are well lighted with blue lights not red. The unmarked vehicles do not normally make traffic stops unless it is an emergency situation and even then if you are concerned that the vehicle is not a law enforcement vehicle follow the same information listed above. If it is in fact a Deputy or other law enforcement officer they will understand.
In this incident a RED flashing light was used, Hempstead County Sheriff's Vehicles use BLUE lights, as do Arkansas State Police. Red lights are commonly used by EMS, Firemen and First responders. We live in a world today where criminals use every means necessary to commit crimes and that includes impersonating a Law Enforcement Officer or a Law Enforcement Vehicle.
I ask that you be aware that incidents like this sometimes occur and to take every precaution to make sure that the vehicle trying to pull you over is a legitimate law enforcement vehicle operated by a uniformed sworn Law Enforcement officer.
If anyone has any information or has observed a white Silverado pick-up displaying a flashing red light with a siren, or some other type of public address system capable of playing music in any part of the county please contact the Hempstead County Sheriff's Office @ 870-777-6727or call 911.
As always if you are in doubt, please call 911 and report any incident that may cause you to become a victim of a crime.

(3) "Siren" means an acoustic or electronic device producing a loud or wailing sound as a signal or warning.


"The Williams frame is Nathan Williams' first signature frame from Kink and features modern street geometry while retaining a classic look. Despite the classic look though, the frame features several subtle details that should not be overlooked. The steeper 75.5-degree headtube is responsive, and the short 12.75" chainstay length makes the frame nimble without compromising on tire clearance; fitting up to 2.5" tires. The double butted toptube and downtube with gussets on both, ensure plenty of strength in the front end while the chainstay and seatstay bridge designs allot for generous tire clearance while adding as much stiffness as possible. Nathan's frame of course comes standard with integrated seat post clamp, integrated chain tensioners, and removeable brake mounts. Additional details like the custom seatstay bridge badge inlay, and interior dropout knurling round out both the good looks and serious functionality of the Williams frame."
Sizes: 20.5", 20.75", 21", 21.25"
Hit up Kink's site for more info!
Thought those pages were new on the website. Was looking for Kink sprockets and noticed the frame and the bars posted up already. Boys work quick. So glad Nathan is on a team like Kink. Their team trips/videos just got so much heavier. I wish they would pick up Stark and round out their team. That would be an insane group overall.


"Always be watchful of the batters. That's my main thing." That simple philosophy, allied with a useful arsenal of slower balls and yorkers, has enabled Krishmar Santokie to emerge as a handy T20 bowler, both for West Indies and in a number of T20 leagues around the world.
Though he made his List A debut for Jamaica in 2007, the left-arm medium pacer went on to establish himself as a T20 specialist for various teams. He burst onto the scene in the inaugural Caribbean T20 in 2010, taking a five-wicket haul for Jamaica against Trinidad & Tobago. He picked up 10 wickets in the tournament and maintained an economy rate of 5.55.
A West Indies call-up followed in 2011, for a T20I against England at the Oval. Despite creditable returns of 1 for 17 off three overs, Santokie made only occasional appearances for West Indies, until he was picked up for the 2014 World T20 in Bangladesh. He had a good tournament, finishing as West Indies' second highest wicket-taker, with eight wickets, and keeping a tidy economy rate of 6.84. However, he played only two more T20Is that year, before being dropped from the West Indies side once again.
Santokie announced his international retirement after deciding to participate in the Masters Champions League, a tournament for retired cricketers, which took place in early 2016.
