Treme Neighborhood
Go, Saints!
St. Charles Line, All Aboard!
Hop aboard the historic St. Charles Avenue Streetcar, the oldest continuously operating street railway system in the world. Built in 1835, the line covers a 13-mile-long loop, running from Canal Street to Carondelet Avenue, with dozens of historic New Orleans mansions along the way.
Among the stops on the St. Charles Line is the Garden District. Spanning 25 acres, this stretch of town is home to some of the best-preserved mansions in the entire South. Among them is this "Wedding Cake House," a privately owned Victorian Colonial Revival-style home, at 5809 St. Charles Avenue.
Named for Battle of New Orleans hero Andrew Jackson in 1815, Jackson Square Park has been called one of "America's Great Public Spaces" by the American Planning Association. Roughly the size of a city park, the space is a regular venue for live musical acts. At its center you'll find Saint Louis Cathedral, the oldest cathedral in North America.
See the wonders of the sea at the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas. Located on the banks of the Mississippi River, next to the French Quarter, the aquarium is home to amazing displays of sea life, like in the massive 400,000-gallon Gulf of Mexico exhibit, where stingrays, sharks, endangered green sea turtles and more exotic marine life glide past your nose.
Give it a whirl around the Musik Express. It's one of about 15 rides you'll find at Carousel Gardens, a small outdoor theme park in the heart of New Orleans. The kids will love the park's prime attraction (and namesake) -- a wooden carousel more than 100 years old that hasn't let up on its merrymaking magic.
The good times roll on and on in New Orleans. Grab your beads for NOLA's biggest celebration of the year, Mardi Gras. And once you've had your French Quarter fill, come back for New Orleans' other colorful festivals, including the Whitney White Linen Night (August), the New Orleans Film Festival (October) and the Oak Street Po' Boy Festival (November).
And for a peek into Mardi Gras... tour this working warehouse, where parade floats for New Orleans' biggest day are made. Located on the Mississippi River, the massive, 400,000-square-foot space known as Mardi Gras World is home to artists and craftsmen who design and build over 500 floats each year.
Head to "America's National World War II Museum," so named by Congress in 2003. Among its exhibits, the museum tells the story of the role New Orleans played in the war effort: Boats crucial to D-Day operations were designed, built and tested by a New Orleans' company of its day, Higgins Industries.
Take a sentimental journey along the Mississippi River, courtesy of Steamboat Natchez Riverboat. The two-hour cruise glides along the river, with live jazz and a menu showcasing local food options like file gumbo and Louisiana-style fried fish -- all topped with delicious views of the Big Easy's skyline.
Explore one of New Orleans' oldest neighborhoods. Home to more than 4,000 people, the historic Treme neighborhood began as a plantation in the late 1700s, owned by a Frenchman named Claude Treme. Today, this stretch of town is lined with old homes like this, with many undergoing rehabilitation efforts. Treme was also the subject of an HBO series of the same name.
Perk up your eyes, some very cool jazz is yours to hear at D.B.A. This live jazz club is one of many you'll find on Frenchmen Street, in New Orleans' 7th Ward. In addition to its many bars, clubs and restaurants, the street is home to unique Creole Cottages -- one-storied houses with a unique New Orleans feel.
Cheer on the Saints at New Orleans' Superdome. This whopping 72,003-seat domed sports and exhibition space, in the city's Central Business District, routinely makes the short list of stadiums to host major sporting events, such as the Super Bowl.

Interesting Fact James Bond's drink of choice may be a martini, but when he's drinking wine, only Chateau Angélus will do, as seen in Daniel Craig's first outing as 007, Casino Royale.
Until the era of management under Hubert de Boüard de Laforest, Château Angélus could not really claim to be making as fine a wine as its terroir allowed. Forward-thinking Hubert set about making many changes, including the early adoption of open-topped vats for fermenting and barrel maturation - both techniques which were picked up on by Hubert in his trips to Burgundy. Another bold and progressive change was that of the name, which went from L'Angélus to Angélus, as Hubert observed this would lead the château to the top of alphabetical directories.
The attention to detail in the handling of Château Angélus, has led to an increase in quality, reflected most obviously in its promotion in the 2012 St Émilion Classification to Premier Grand Cru Classés A status, placing it in the top 4 châteaux in the region.
Château Angelus enjoyed valuable product placement in Casino Royale, in which Daniel Craig's 007 is seen enjoying a glass- a move which Hubert de Boüard told decanter.com led to a substantial sales spike. While prices for fine French wine are expected to stabilise in coming years, Angélus has been forecasted continued growth due to current brand strength following its St Émilion reclassification and thanks to strong sales to China- where the bell that appears on every bottle of the Grand Vin is considered a lucky symbol.
A triumphant comeback beginning in the 1980s, following the appointments of Hubert de Boüard and Michel Rolland, became a meteoric rise, with Angélus currently considered among the very top wine producers, not merely in St Émilion but in the entire Bordeaux region. Critic Neal Martin has praised the consistency in quality of wines produced and even in 2007, a washout year with many disappointing vintages, Angélus was delighting critics.
1990, 1995 and 2001 have all been singled out as 'outstanding' vintages and the 2009 vintage received a near perfect score of 99-points, demonstrating the upward trajectory in quality the wines of this château are enjoying and since then the 2015 vintage impressed with 97 points from Neal Martin.
Château Angélus has been owned by the same family for over a hundred years and to get a grasp of history of the estate, one must understand the Boüard de Laforest family- whose ancestry has been rooted in Bordeaux for more than 600 years. Following the acquisition of the estate in 1909, neighbouring vineyards were gradually assimilated from Clos D'Angélus in 1924, and again in 1969 when lands from Beauséjour-Bécot were added to the property, bringing the Angélus vinyward to a total of 23.4 hectares.
The arrival of newly-qualified oenologist Hubert de Boüard in 1976 was an important milestone. Having studied under the famed Emile Peynaud, he was able to bring his expertise to bear on the fortunes of the estate. Hubert assumed full control of the estate in 1985, but to this day he supplements his expertise through consultation with external oenologists on best practices for his vineyards, including Michel Rolland, who has a great influence here.
A candidate for one of the finest Angelus produced to date (and there have been many, including 1989, 1990, 2000 and 2005), this blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc was fashioned from tiny yields of 20 hectoliters per hectare. It boasts a black/purple color along with a gorgeous perfume of blueberry liqueur, spring flowers and graphite. In the mouth, notes of incense and cassis also emerge from this velvety-textured, full-bodied, intensely concentrated 2009. With silky tannins, low acidity and spectacular purity, texture and depth, it is already approachable (although I'm sure proprietor Hubert de Bouard would think drinking it now is akin to infanticide), but should keep for 20-30+ years.
This 7,000 case blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc will rival or perhaps eclipse vintages such as 2000, 1998, 1990, and 1989. Its dense purple color is followed by an extraordinary perfume of charcoal, espresso roast, blackberries, blueberries, and a hint of wood. In spite of its thick texture, terrific acidity, high tannins, and enormous intensity as well as richness, it is surprisingly approachable, but given how slowly the 1989 and 1990 have aged, I would recommend cellaring it for 8-10 years. It should keep for three decades. A brilliant wine!
What can you say about Hubert de Bouard and Angelus? Each year they seem to turn out one great wine after another, and the 2000 showed its merit in two different tastings. A wine of great intensity, bluish/black, with a big, sweet kiss of graphite, crushed rocks, blueberry, spring floral garden and blackberry liqueur, unctuously textured as well as pure, dense, and stunningly rich, this full-bodied wine can be drunk now or cellared for another 25-30 years.
A great Angelus and one of the two or three best vintages made under the talented young Hubert de Bouard, this wine still has a youthful, saturated ruby/purple color and a sweet nose of melted licorice intermixed with creme de cassis, tapenade, cedar, spice box, and vanilla. Very full-bodied, opulent, and rich, it is one of the 1989s that justifies the lofty reputation of this vintage. Extremely full-bodied, this wine can be drunk now or cellared for at least another 10-15 years. Anticipated maturity: Now-2015. Last tasted, 4/02.
A spectacular effort (what's new?), this brilliant offering from proprietor Hubert de Bouard is another classic. A blend of 62% Merlot and 38% Cabernet Franc, it boasts an inky/purple color as well as a sumptuous bouquet of creosote, blueberry pie, espresso roast, blackberries, and graphite. Extremely full-bodied and stunningly rich with a multi-layered texture, sweet tannin, and a 45-second finish, this exceptional 2006 is one of the great wines of St.-Emilion. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2028.
This 7,500-case blend of 62% Merlot and 38% Cabernet Franc is one of the strongest wines of the vintage. A deep blue/purple hue is accompanied by classic aromas of smoky blueberries and blackberries as well as incense and floral notes in the background. A beautiful texture, opulence, flamboyance, and purity characterize this stunningly deep, full-bodied effort, another great success from proprietor Hubert de Bouard. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2022.
A blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc cropped at 32 hectoliters per hectare, the 2010 may not hit the peaks of the extraordinary 2009 or 2005, but it is another fabulous wine from proprietor Hubert de Bouard. It boasts an inky/blue/purple color along with abundant aromas of acacia flowers, blueberry liqueur, black raspberries, licorice and subtle toasty oak in the background. A notion of graphite emerges as the wine sits in the glass, which tends to be a characteristic of Angelus. Long, rich, dense and full-bodied with high but well-integrated tannins, it will rival the 1989 and 1990 as well as the 2009 and 2005 as one of the finest wines made at this estate. At present, the 2009 has a slight edge because of its more sumptuous texture. Nevertheless, the 2010 is a great wine with a future of at least 30 years!
Owned by Hubert de Bouard, the 2012 Angelus was harvested between October 8-18, yields were 34 hectoliters per hectare, and the natural alcohol was over 14%. The final blend was 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon. One of the superstars of the vintage, the dense opaque purple/blue-colored 2012 offers up notes of barbecue smoke, graphite, charcoal, blueberries, blackberries, sweet cherries and forest floor. With terrific fruit intensity, a powerful, layered, multidimensional mouthfeel and full body, it should be drinkable at an early age given the sweetness of the tannin. It should easily evolve for 15-20 years.
A superb effort in this vintage, Angelus's opaque purple-colored 1995 is a massive, powerful, rich offering with plenty of ripe, sweet tannin. The wine's aromatics include scents of Provencal olives, jammy black cherries, blackberries, truffles, and toast. A very full-bodied wine, it is layered, thick, and pure. This is the most concentrated of the 1995 St.-Emilion premier grand crus. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2025.

Eye Catching New Terrace Just the Beginning at Harrigan's
WORDS Michelle Meehan
If you've visited the Hunter Valley vineyard region, you're more than likely to have dropped in for a quick drink or a bite to eat at Harrigan's Irish Pub. With rustic stone walls, gleaming wood bars and authentic Irish décor, Harrigan's offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, surrounded by lush landscaped gardens and picturesque vineyard views.
But if you haven't stopped by Harrigan's for a while, now is a good time to book your return visit to make the most of the lingering summer weather on their extensively renovated terrace and outdoor dining area, or sample the mouth-watering delights on their new menu.
Your Hunter Valley Magazine talked to Manager Chris Codd this month to find out exactly what's changed at the Hunter's favourite Irish pub – and what other surprises are in store.
I believe there have been some new additions to the pub's dining areas lately Chris - can you tell me what has changed and when?
We have refurbished our terrace adding an outdoor bar and kitchen, plus a beautiful new dining space that extends out to a covered alfresco area. In addition, we have a new sports bar with a separate outdoor space and sitting area. On top of this, we have the rest of the internals of the pub including the bar and bistro currently being renovated and set to open in mid-2019 – we are very excited about it!
What do these new areas add to the mix of spaces at Harrigan's?
In addition to the extra space it brings a much more open feel. The high wood panelled ceiling with skylight is an eye-catching feature, and glistening fairy lights create the perfect ambient location to enjoy a glass or two of the Hunter Valley's fantastic wine. Our architects have done an amazing job of the design – the space is not only impressive to look at but gives a grand and expansive feel.
"The alfresco area can also be sectioned off for groups of 10-30 people, making them perfect for smaller events and corporate groups, or book the entire area for large functions and enjoy our fantastic Harrigan's hospitality!"
I believe the menu has also recently changed at the pub – what's new in the kitchen?
Our head chef is the very talented Netra Subedi. Netra, whose heritage is Nepalese, has brought
with him a wealth of experience working in some of the best resorts in Dubai, as well a range of great Australian venues. We change our menu seasonally, but the most recent change was brought about by the continuation of our renovations. Currently, the main kitchen is being refurbished to make way for our incredible new inside space, so we have created a menu that offers a range of excellent modern Australian dining options that can be served in the new terrace spaces.
Customers will notice some old favourites such as the steak sandwich and our signature crispy schnitzel, plus a selection of new delicious meals that cater for all tastes and dietary requirements. Additionally, there is a selection of kids' meals to keep the little ones happy.
What are some of the highlights on the new menu?
The Harrigan's burger has been a huge hit so far – our chefs went all out with this creation, which includes a juicy beef patty with blue cheese mayo, grilled chorizo, smoky bacon, beetroot, iceberg lettuce, soft fried egg and our Granny Smith and cabbage slaw. It's not for the faint-hearted, but it's absolutely delicious! If something a bit lighter is your preference, our seared Atlantic salmon with autumn vegetables and tarragon butter sauce is a big winner.
Our signature Beef and Guinness pie is sadly not on the menu currently due to the renovations, but we will be bringing this back later in the year to warm up customers in the cooler months.
What else is coming up Harrigan's?
We are very excited to have our signature St Patrick's day event coming up! Being an Irish pub this is one of our favourite days of the year, and we get an awesome crowd to the venue. This year we are celebrating all weekend March 16/17, we will have Irish bands, Irish dancers, a pipe band and $9 pints of Guinness, Kilkenny and Magners cider.

Titanium Adapter for Baqend
===========================
![](https://fbcdn-photos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-0/p160x160/1175532_1435043336734661_1180604515_n.png?oh=86dc0c271144743b63db5e4380243bf9&oe=56F16ED2&__gda__=1458345230_3b278d13b81b1751c3f0ee0c060c5b83)

Data Modeling
-------------

Before starting to implement, we should think about the data model of our app. As we want to build a sharable Todo list with time-tracking, a typical Todo item could look like this as JSON:

```javascript
{
  "listId": "#6c357294-73d1...", //A list ID the Todo pertains to
  "name": "My Todo", //The Todo's name
  "active": false, //True if we're working on it
  "done": false //True if the Todo is checked
  "activities": [ //A list of when we worked on the item
    {   "start": "2015-03-30T08:45:48.799Z", //from when
        "end": "2015-03-30T08:45:51.431Z" //to when
    },{...}]
}
```
This schema is quickly created using the dashboard - we've already done that for this tutorial. The explicit schema has the advantage that all data is automatically validated to prevent corrupt data. Also this gives us clever DB.Todo objects to program against. Schemas, i.e. the data models, are flexible and can be changed at any time.

```javascript
//Let's create a Todo item
function onReady() {
  var myTodo = new DB.Todo();
  myTodo.name = "My Todo";
  myTodo.active = false;
  console.log(todo.toJSON(true));
  //We can also use the constructor
  var myOtherTodo = new DB.Todo({
    name : "My other Todo",
    active : false
  });
}

//Connect
DB.connect("http://tutorial.baqend.com");
//Wait for connection
DB.ready(onReady);
```

Creating Data
-------------

To save a Todo we simply call save() on the instance. If no id was defined, it gets assigned a random one.

Baqend objects are Data Access Objects (DAOs), i.e. they expose methods to save, update and delete the respective object. save() and the other DAO methods take optional success and error callbacks which are invoked when the operation succeeds resp. fails:

```javascript
myTodo.save(function(object) {
   //Success!
}, function(error) {
   //Error!
});
```

These methods also return ES6 Promises, which are a nice alternative to callbacks for handling these asynchronous operations. They have methods such as then(myFunction) (success) and catch(myFunction) (error) to avoid nested callback "spaghetti" code.

Loading Data
------------

Loading data is really easy. If we know the id of an object, we can load it with:

```javascript
DB.Todo.load(id, function(todo) {
  //Do something with the todo
});
```
The great thing when working with objects in Baqend is that whenever you load objects that are already used somewhere in your application, you will get the same references. This means that you do not have to deal with different states of objects - it's always the same object.

When an object does not exist or we do not have the permission to read it, load will return null. To manually refresh an object, we can call myTodo.load() which updates our local copy with the newest version from the server.

A patient's quality of life can be severely impaired when breathing is obstructed. One of the most common causes of obstructed breathing is a deviated septum. Snoring, which can lead to exhaustion and cardiac issues, is a common symptom of a deviated septum. Also, if you are experiencing repeated nasal infections, swelling, abnormal nose bleeds and unpleasant nasal discharges, these may be the result of a misaligned septum.
A deviated septum can be related to genetics, trauma to the face or prior nasal surgeries. Dr. Yerukhim expertly performs Septoplasty for appropriate patients who are experiencing these breathing and nasal issues. During the procedure, the nasal septum is straightened and repositioned in the middle of your nose, and may require the surgeon to cut and remove parts of your nasal septum before reinserting them in the proper position. Not only is breathing restored, but the patient may also realize enhanced cosmetic results once the procedure is completed.
Are you unhappy with the appearance of your nose? Are you having difficulty breathing? Then nasal surgery may be the appropriate solution. Dr. Yerukhim is an expert in Rhinoplasty, which is the challenging and delicate surgery to reshape the appearance of the nose. Rhinoplasty can make the nose larger or smaller; change the angle of the nose in relation to the upper lip; alter the tip of the nose; or correct bumps, indentations, or other defects in the nose.
This procedure is often cosmetic although it can assist in correcting some medical issues.
Most of the time, these procedures are performed with all incisions hidden inside the nose (known as a closed procedure) which requires no external skin incisions! Nasal modifications can improve your appearance, improve your breathing and drastically improve your quality of life! Call 440-816-2776 today to schedule your consultation.

World Vision pumps for water are hand or solar- powered
Ludington, MI- Author Joan H. Young is no stranger to walking. Young was the first woman to complete the 4,600-mile- long hike on the North Country Trail in 2010.
But this was the first time, Young has walked with a mission to provide water for Third World countries, a global effort spearheaded by World Vision. Young walked a total of 21 miles on May 22 in the Global 6K for Water.

Here is a Q&A interview with Young.
Q: How long have you been walking for water?
A: This is the first time I have done this.
Q: Why? What is your primary motivation?
A: Back in 1986, when I decided I wanted to go to grad school, in the sciences, I did a lot of reading and predicted that water was going to be the global crisis of the 21st century. So, I decided to study some field related to clean water. I ended up not using that degree, but I learned a lot and still believe that providing clean water to the world needs to have a higher priority.
Q: A little bit about Fatima: Where does she live and how bad is the water situation?
A: She was assigned to me. Each participant is paired with a child to give a face to our fundraising. She lives in Ethiopia where about 26 million people lack access to clean water. One organization claims that 7.5 percent of the globalwater crisis is inEthiopia alone. In addition to a lack of clean water, there is a lack of basic sanitation facilities. The result, not surprisingly, is a huge number of deaths from water-borne illnesses. So many children die that the world has become numb and is no longer outraged. World Vision bores deep wells, and the pumps are either hand powered or solar powered, so villages do not have to depend on unreliable or unavailable electricity.
Q: How much money has been raised and how much have you raised?
A: I know World Vision hoped to raise $2 million this year. I raised $1495, and was in the top 100 individual fundraisers, but I know some of the very top people raised over $5000. I think they are still taking contributions, so the totals have not yet been released. Donations are still being accepted as of June 1, 2021.
Q: What have you learned about yourself and others on your walks?
A: The distance proposed for most walkers by World Vision was 6K, about 4 miles. This distance was chosen because it is the average distance people in countries with inadequate clean water must walk every day to collect dirty water for cooking and drinking. I chose to walk more, as a challenge, thinking it might attract people to donate. Perhaps that was a factor. I was really pleased that so many people stepped up to donate. I was able to raise much more money than I ever could have given on my own.
World Vision estimates that it averages out to about $50 to provide clean water to one person. So that means I was able to help 27 people gain access to clean water. I like the way that feels.
Q: How do your walks project into your books?
A: So far, not at all, since this was my first one.
Q: What are your future plans for walking?
A: Walking is like breathing. I just do it. We'll see if I sign up for another fundraiser in the future.

Der Weiler liegt am westlichen Ufer der Saale, am Fuß der Rodeberge, etwa zwei Kilometer südwestlich von Camburg. Südlich der Ortslage befindet sich der Ort Wichmar und dessen Ortsteil Würchhausen. Der Auenboden ist Schwemmland der Saale. Mit ihrem bewaldeten Steilhang von etwa 100 Meter Höhe markieren die Rodeberge eine nach Osten orientierte Flussbiegung der Saale. An den Hängen liegt Muschelkalkboden, der auf den Höhen des Plateaus von Löss überlagert ist. Man spricht von degradierten schwarzerdeähnlichen Böden. Durch die Flur führt die Bahntrasse der Strecke Naumburg–Camburg–Jena.

Geschichte
Der Ort wurde 1219 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt. Die sich nach dem Ort nennenden Ministerialen waren teils dem Reich, später vermehrt den Markgrafen von Meißen unterstellt. Ab dem 14. Jh. tritt hier die Adelsfamilie Münch auf.
Erstmals werden in der Zeit um 1420 Einwohner namentlich erwähnt.
Im Thüringer Grafenkrieg Mitte des 14. Jh. wurden der Ort und die Burg zerstört.

Das Rittergut mit 96 ha Wirtschaftsfläche wurde 1923 von Albin Gellert bewirtschaftet. Döbritschen gehörte spätestens im 14. Jh. zum wettinischen Amt Camburg, welches aufgrund mehrerer Teilungen im Lauf seines Bestehens zu verschiedenen Wettinischen Herzogtümern gehörte. Von 1922 bis 1939 gehörte der Ort zur Kreisabteilung Camburg.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg unterlag es den Gesetzen der landwirtschaftlichen Entwicklung in der SBZ und DDR. Jetzt ist das Anwesen wieder in Privatbesitz.

Umwelt, Natur und Wirtschaft
Unmittelbar am Gelände des Wasserkraftwerkes, das nach einer Generalsanierung wieder in Betrieb genommen wurde, befindet sich zum Schutz der Fischbestände eine Fischtreppe am Wehr. Für den zunehmenden Tourismus entlang der Saale wurde am Flussufer ein Zelt- und Rastplatz angelegt. Durch den Heimatverein werden Führungen organisiert. Die Auelandschaft südlich von Camburg bietet noch Streuobstwiesen mit vielen alten Gehölzen und seltenen Tier- und Pflanzenarten.

If you're like me, you've been thinking about Halloween costumes since, uh…spring? I have been, though! I get so excited for this time of year and coming up with Halloween costumes is so fun and my girls love to dress up, so it's a win-win. The good thing about costumes is that they can be re-used all year long for play-time! Since Halloween is approaching, I have teamed up with Skechers to share some costume inspiration for any of you that might be seeking out a practical, yet adorable costume. I say practical, because everything about this costume (other than the wings and star-garland) is literally just every-day clothing. Plus, the Skechers the girls have light up, which is not only fun for the them, but they're also really great for trick-or-treating once the sun goes down! And most importantly, they're comfortable for them to walk in (and if you've ever gotten "costume" shoes for your child to wear, you know how it might go if the shoes they're trick-or-treating in are uncomfortable…not so fun!).
That's it! So simple, so easy — still fun!

Brexit: Peers back move to prevent shutdown of Parliament
The House of Lords has backed an attempt to prevent a future prime minister suspending Parliament to push through a no-deal Brexit.
The measure will now go to MPs for a vote on Thursday, after peers defeated the government by 272 votes to 169.
Tory leadership frontrunner Boris Johnson has not ruled out suspending Parliament to ensure the UK could leave by 31 October, even without a deal.
Labour said suspension would be "constitutionally improper".
Mr Johnson's leadership rival, Jeremy Hunt, has ruled it out.
If the 31 October deadline is reached without a deal being agreed, the UK will leave the EU without one.
MPs have consistently voted against this option, but the prime minister could try to get around that by closing Parliament – proroguing – in the run-up to Brexit day, denying them an opportunity to block it.
'Bad idea'
The Lords cross-party measure to prevent a suspension came in the form of an amendment to a bill on restoring devolved government in Northern Ireland.
Last week, MPs amended the bill to require ministers to give fortnightly reports to Parliament throughout October on progress to restore devolution.
The hope of those behind that amendment was that it would make it more difficult for Parliament to be shut down.
Can the new prime minister force a no-deal Brexit?
Brexit battle could end up in court, warns Letwin
The latest move by peers is designed to strengthen that position, by making sure the fortnightly reports would have to be physically debated in the Commons and therefore it could not be suspended.
The amendment will have to be approved by MPs on Thursday in order to make it into the final version of the bill.
Former independent reviewer of terrorism legislation Lord Anderson said it would require Parliament to sit at specified intervals between September and December.
Also backing the move, Labour peer Lord Goldsmith said suspending – or proroguing – Parliament to push through no deal would be "a very bad idea".
"It's Parliament who ensures we remain a free land – that is how we do our democracy. To allow that to be set aside would be wrong," he added.
Government minister Lord Duncan of Springbank opposed the amendment, arguing it would send a message that peers can "use Northern Ireland for different purposes when we choose to do so".
Also opposing the move, Conservative peer Lord True said Mr Johnson had "never said" he would suspend Parliament, and "outrage" about the possibility of this occurring has been "got up" by "Remainers".
Former Tory prime minister John Major has said he would seek a judicial review in the courts if the new prime minister tried to suspend Parliament.
Campaigner Gina Miller has threatened the same action.
Tory MP Sir Oliver Letwin, who opposes a no-deal Brexit, has warned that any attempt to do so is likely to end up in the Supreme Court.

Heidi - Antiqued First Page
This single page item is a reproduction of the first page of Johanna Spyri's classic story, Heidi. It makes for a terrific piece to frame and decorate a study or bedroom!
By Johanna Spyri
Chapter 1 – Up the Mountain to Alm-Uncle
From the old and pleasantly situated village of Mayenfeld, a footpath winds through green and shady meadows to the foot of the mountains, which on this side look down from their stern and lofty heights upon the valley below. The land grows gradually wilder as the path ascends, and the climber has not gone far before he begins to inhale the fragrance of the short grass and sturdy mountain-plants, for the way is steep and leads directly up to the summits above.
On a clear sunny morning in June two figures might be seen climbing the narrow mountain path; one, a tall strong-looking girl, the other a child whom she was leading by the hand, andwhose little checks were so aglow with heat that the crimson color could be seen even through the dark, sunburnt skin. And this was hardly to be wondered at, for in spite of the hot Junesun the child was clothed as if to keep off the bitterest frost. She did not look more than five years old, if as much, but what her natural figure was like, it would have been hard to say, forshe had apparently two, if not three dresses, one above the other, and over these a thick red woollen shawl wound round about her, so that the little body presented a shapeless appearance, as, with its small feet shod in thick, nailed mountain-shoes, it slowly and laboriously plodded its way up in the heat. The two must have left the valley a good hour's walk behind them, when they came to the hamlet known as Dorfli, which is situated half-way up the mountain. Here the wayfarers met with greetings from all sides, some calling to them from windows, some from open doors, others from outside, for the elder girl was now in her old home. She did not, however, pause in her walk to respond to her friends' welcoming cries and questions, but passed on without stopping for a moment until she reached the last ofthe scattered houses of the hamlet. Here a voice called to her from the door: "Wait a moment,

TIGER EXTRA
Former Mizzou star Jeremy Maclin selected to the 2023 College Football Hall of Fame class
Chris Kwiecinski
A year after his head coach was enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame, one of the most electric players in Missouri football history follows suit.
Jeremy Maclin, a long-time NFL receiver and Tigers star, was announced as a part of the College Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2023.
Maclin is a part of an 18-player class that also includes the likes of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, Villanova running back and Maclin's Philadelphia Eagles teammate Brian Westbrook, USC running back Reggie Bush and Tennessee safety Eric Berry.
"Cited by many as the most electrifying player to ever don a Mizzou uniform, Jeremy Maclin dazzled fans in Columbia, impacting the game on offense and special teams during one of the school's most successful runs and becoming the only Tiger to ever be a two-time First Team All-American," College Football Hall of Fame President Steve Hatchell said in a statement. "His accomplishments place him among the best to have played the game, and there's no doubt he deserves to be immortalized in the College Football Hall of Fame."
Maclin's induction comes after legendary and long-time MU coach Gary Pinkel was given the same honor.
In his two-year Missouri career, Maclin caught 182 passes for 2,315 receiving yards and 22 touchdowns. Those 2,315 receiving yards rank fifth all-time at Missouri. He also scored five special teams touchdowns - twice on kick returns and three times on punt returns - as he solidified himself as one of the most dangerous weapons in college football.
Maclin holds nine of the top 20 single-game all-purpose-yard performances in Missouri football history. His career combined kick return yard average (19.7) and single-season combined kick return yards (1,346 in 2007) are MU football records.
Maclin also ranks second all-time with 10 100-yard receiving games and he owns the single-season receiving record, catching 102 passes for 1,260 yards in 2008.
"We are extremely proud to announce the 2023 College Football Hall of Fame Class," Archie Manning, National Football Foundation Chairman and a 1989 College Football Hall of Famer from Mississippi, said in a written statement. "Each of these men has established himself among the absolute best to have ever played or coached the game, and we look forward to immortalizing their incredible accomplishments."
After his college career, Maclin was drafted in the first 1st round of the 2009 NFL draft at No. 19 overall by the Eagles, where he played for five seasons before spending two seasons in Kansas City and one final season in Baltimore.
Maclin is the eighth Missouri player elected into the Hall of Fame. He's the first MU player to be elected since Kellen Winslow was elected in 2002.

Q: How to get the value inside the input of type text in JavaScript?

var data = document.getElementById('myFieldId');
console.log(data.value);
<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
  <head> </head>
  <body>
    <input type="text" id="myFieldId"/>
    <script src="main.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

I expect when I write any text in the input, it would print the corresponding text. But I don't get anything in the console. What should I do?

A: You need to add an event listener that executes as soon as someone inputs text.
There is no such thing as binding a variable to a text input; this needs to be implemented by yourself.
See this example:

const data = document.getElementById('myFieldId');

data.addEventListener(
  'input', // first argument is the name of the event you want to react to
  // second argument is the function that should execute when the event occurs
  function(inputEvent) {
    console.log(data.value);
  }
);
<input type="text" id="myFieldId"/>

A: You code start at load page so is empty, i add an onchange event so when you finish to write console.log will output the value.

var data = document.getElementById('myFieldId');
data.onchange = function()
{
  console.log(this.value);
};
<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
  <head> </head>
  <body>
    <input type="text" id="myFieldId"/>
    <script src="main.js"></script>

California Recovering from devastating wildfires.
As California slowly recovers from last year's devastating — and costly — wildfire season, a debate has ignited over the use of private firefighting teams deployed by insurance companies and used to protect homes belonging largely to the wealthy.
The insurance companies offering this additional service are often for policyholders with properties valued at more than $1 million — and for homeowners with these insurance plans, having this extra protection can be the difference between their home surviving the fire and burning to the ground.
Fred Giuffrida and his wife, Pamela Joyner, were home at their hilly 16-acre Sonoma ranch late last Oct. 8 when, looking out from the family room window, Joyner saw an ominous pink glow in the distance. It was a gusty night in wine country, so she went outside to get a better look. She smelled smoke.
"Twenty minutes later, the whole hill was ablaze," Giuffrida told NBC News.
"There's only one way off the hill, so we said, 'We can't afford to stick around here,'" Giuffrida recalled in a phone interview. After banging on the door to alert a neighbor, they fled their home in the early morning hours of Oct. 9, not knowing what they would find when they returned.
That night, and for the next several nights, multiple wildfires ignited across wine country. All told, the "October Fire Siege" would destroy more than 245,000 acres — the most destructive in the state's history. By month's end, 43 people had lost their lives, 100,000 residents had been forced to evacuate, and an estimated 8,900 structures had been destroyed.
Giuffrida's didn't realize his insurance company even offered firefighting services.
Available for certain properties in wildfire-prone areas in California. The insurance company automatically sends its own "professional firefighters" to help protect homes before, during and after wildfires.
Like a growing number of insurance companies offering similar services, insurer firefighters can trim trees and move combustible material away from a home, spray it with gel or water and cover vents to prevent hot embers from getting inside a home.
Although local firefighters were also on scene, this homeowner credits his insurance company's private firefighters for saving his house.
Over the course of five days when the fire threatened Giuffrida's property, firefighters from other public agencies were also on scene. But Giuffrida credits the firefighters his insurer sent and their focus on his insured home for it still standing today. These firefighters, actually responders from Wildfire Defense Systems (WDS) that are contracted with his insurer, even sent him photos while they were on scene hosing down the fire.
"They were fighting battles in so many places, so I think the fact that this supplemented it really saved our house," said Giuffrida, noting that a few of his neighbors were not so lucky and did lose their homes.
Insurers say; "Our specific goal is to work with policyholder structures,". "We're only allowed to access the properties that we're given permission to access by policyholders," he said, meaning that unlike publicly funded fire agencies, WDS makes determinations about which homes in a neighborhood it will defend from fire.

Minister for Business Heather Humphreys (centre) at the launch of the book Protestant and Irish which was edited by Ian d'Alton and Ida Milne. Photograph: Dara Mac Dónaill/The Irish Times.
A Protestant Cultural Centre should be built to tell the story of the faith in the State, which has largely been forgotten since independence was gained, Minister for Business Heather Humphreys has said.
Ms Humphreys, who is Presbyterian, said there was already agreement in principle for such a centre in the Government's Project 2040 strategy and that Taoiseach Leo Varadkar was in favour of it.
Speaking on Wednesday night at the launch of a book - Protestant and Irish, the Minister suggested the centre could be located in the last predominantly Protestant village in the Republic, Drum in Co Monaghan.
Ms Humphreys said the story of Protestants in the Republic was one of "achievement and a remarkable contribution" with presidents, a chief justice and a Director of Public Prosecutions among their number.
However, she also said it was a story of "sustained and rapid decline in population" due to factors such as increasing isolation, emigration and Ne Temere, a Catholic dictat that the children of mixed marriages must be brought up Catholic.
"The Protestant Cultural Centre would seek to capture and tell the full story of the experiences of Protestants in the State at national, local and familial level," she said.
"It is also a story of dominance by the religious majority as reflected in key events such as the Mayo county librarian scandal, the Fethard-on-Sea boycott, as well as a constitutional and legal framework which strongly reflected an overwhelming Catholic ethos.
The Minister spoke of the "innate sensitivity" of growing up on the Border as part of a minority.
"Ireland is now a very changed country to the one I grew up in. That said, we must not shy away from confronting the historical past without fear.
She also told Unionists that there was no "hidden agenda" in the Government's approach to Brexit.
"We respect your cultural identity and indeed the cultural identify of each and every citizen on our islands, and the constitutional status of that citizenship," Ms Humphreys said.
Protestant and Irish is edited by Ian D'Alton and Ida Milne. It is a series of 18 essays which explores the Protestant experience in the Republic since independence. It is published by Cork University Press.

ST. LOUIS -- Manager Mike Matheny stood in his office shortly before the Cardinals' 3-2 walk-off win over the Pirates on Saturday at Busch Stadium, arms folded, and spoke eagerly. The subject was a new bullpen option suddenly at his disposal, one with a profile Matheny described as "different" -- tall, left-handed, with a wipeout hook and the endurance of a starter. He was talking about Austin Gomber.
"We want to pitch him," Matheny said. "We want to see what we've got."
The trick, Matheny said, was finding the ideal spot to fit Gomber in. The manager said he'd avoid close situations if he could, in an attempt to avoid a "hard baptism" for the rookie southpaw.
Then Saturday unfolded, and that's exactly the type of situation Gomber found himself in.
"It was pretty tight," Matheny said postgame with a smirk. "And he responded really well."
Tasked with holding a one-run lead in the sixth, Gomber tossed three innings of scoreless relief in his Major League debut after spending five days in St. Louis without appearing in a game last month.
"I figured this time when I came up I would get an opportunity to get into a game, and I'd show them what I can do," Gomber said. "When they told me I was in the game, everything else went away. This is a big spot. They threw me into the fire."
His debut culminated a steady four-year rise through the Cardinals' system, after he was drafted in the fourth round in 2014. The organization's Pitcher of the Year in 2017, Gomber went 4-3 with a 3.60 ERA across nine starts this season at Triple-A Memphis, striking out 16 batters in one game.
"I've worked a long time to get here," Gomber said. "So it's nice to fulfill a lifelong dream."
Flashing his signature overhand curveball, Gomber walked Austin Meadows before striking out Starling Marte and getting a ground-ball double play from Josh Bell in the sixth. He then struck out Colin Moran on his way to a 1-2-3 seventh. Gomber retired the heart of the Pirates' order in the sixth and seventh, and Matheny let him hit for himself in the bottom of the seventh in a bunting situation.
Matheny said Gomber would've taken the at-bat even if the game didn't call for a sacrifice at that time.
"He was pitching [well]," Matheny said. "When I saw the first two innings, I realized we needed him."
"I did not," Gomber paused before finishing, "Expect to get an at-bat today."
Gomber's effort saved a taxed bullpen minus Jordan Hicks and Sam Tuivailala and helped bridge the gap to the ninth after Luke Weaver battled through five innings. His presence gives the Cardinals options going forward. Gomber's experience as a starter allows him to throw multiple innings, as he did Saturday.
But the Cardinals also like the idea of his mechanics and curveball presenting a tough matchup for left-handed hitters. Lefties are slugging .520 against Tyler Lyons and Brett Cecil -- the two veteran lefties in the Cardinals' 'pen.

One of the questions I always get asked is which foundation is best for oily skin. Finding the best foundation for your skin type is no easy task and with so many options out there it's hard to pick one that is perfectly suited to your skin. I do often find that clients wrongly determine their skin type so getting that right would be the first port of call.


Found this in my feed, about how the Army screwed up at the end of the gulf war, stranding soldiers in the Middle East and how Trump arranged for their return at his expense, except for the cost of fuel. And as a result of that experience, former Private Sean Buller is loyal to Trump because Trump was loyal to him in 1991. Like Trump's 9/11 story, this rescue narrative is an interesting mix of truths and blatant fabrications. It's actually a textbook example of how to spin a story about another one of Trump's business failures, Trump's Shuttle Service, and make it into a story of Trump patriotism and loyalty towards our troops. Yeah, wave the flag.
So, Snopes did a little digging. There was a situation at the end of the gulf war where commercial airliners were being pressed into service to get soldier moved around the United State (not back from the Middle East) and there's a pretty good chance that some of Trump's shuttle aircraft were part of this service. But being used for this purpose was more likely because the aircraft was available, because Trump had defaulted on his loans and had liquidated these assets. So, this is actually another example of bad business timing on the part of Mr. Trump, where he got into the shuttle airlines business at a bad time and had to default in less than ten-years. The use of the aircraft to the benefit of these soldiers was not an act of patriotism, but the luck of these liquidated assets being pressed into service for the good of these soldiers. Trump defaulted on his loans and through no intention of his own, these soldiers benefited.
Scary that the patriot version of this story has been shared and promoted on the Faux cable network by the unofficial WH chief of staff, Sean Hannity. Sad, that under pretty much every supposed patriotic act by Cadet Bone Spurs is more likely just an unsubstantial, shallow photo op with a very different actual history. But it is an amazing job of spinning another story of business failure into a patriotic narrative. That takes real skill and a solid belief that his followers, Cult 45, will swallow any story that makes him look more like George Washington than than the failed P.T. Barnum that he really is.
Did your ride home from Desert Storm arrive without delay?
I wasn't part of Desert Storm, but that's not the point of my post. This business that Trump rescued stranded troops is complete fiction, propaganda… a lie. Period.


Ciprofloxacin may significantly increase the absorption of fluticasone into the blood stream. You may be more likely to experience side effects such as swelling, weight gain, high blood pressure, high blood glucose, muscle weakness, depression, acne, thinning skin, stretch marks, easy bruising, bone density loss, cataracts, menstrual irregularities, excessive growth of facial or body hair, and abnormal distribution of body fat, especially in the face, neck, back, and waist. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Other side effects that may occur include decreased ability to fight infections, increased risk of developing infections, and inadequate response to stress such as infection, surgery, trauma, or a severe asthma attack. Children may experience a reduced growth rate due to excessive effects of fluticasone. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Using salmeterol together with ciprofloxacin can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening, although it is a rare side effect. You may be more susceptible if you have a heart condition called congenital long QT syndrome, other cardiac diseases, conduction abnormalities, or electrolyte disturbances (for example, magnesium or potassium loss due to severe or prolonged diarrhea or vomiting). The risk may exist even when salmeterol or similar medications are given by oral inhalation directly into the lungs, and more so if these products are overused. Do not exceed the dose and frequency of use recommended on the product label or prescribed by your doctor. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may already be aware of the risks, but has determined that this is the best course of treatment for you and has taken appropriate precautions and is monitoring you closely for any potential complications. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with these medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Reserve, a startup offering table and customer management tools for restaurants, is announcing that it has raised $10 million in Series B funding. When the company first launched in 2014, it billed itself as a digital concierge that would make it easier for diners to get reservations at top restaurants. Last year, it launched a new product called Reserve for Restaurants, allowing those restaurants to manage all their tables, maintain a database of customer information and accept reservations on their own websites. Next up, according to co-founder and CEO Greg Hong, is the launch of a new, best in class table management product in the second quarter of 2017. It might look like Reserves focus has shifted from its dining app to restaurant software (and certainly its business model has shifted from charging diners per reservation to charging restaurants a flat monthly fee), but Hong said its all part of the same vision. He admitted that first, he didnt fully have my arms wrapped around that alignment with those restaurant communities, which is why the companys put such a focus on building out tools for those restaurants. But he also said Reserve has always been a two-sided marketplace that needs to serve both restaurants and diners. The company is also announcing its nationwide launch, which means that restaurants anywhere in the United States (not just in cities like New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles) can use Reserves software. Reserve says it has already been used by more than 500 restaurants to seat nearly 9 million diners. Read Full Article at https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/01/reserve-series-b/

Q: Is dojo able to get all of events in whole page? There is some code doing like this sequentially:

*

*dojo set value for one widget and trigger the onchange event.

*dojo.connect to onchange event of widget aforementioned.

Originally, I don't think the event of the 1st step will be caught by event handler setting up in step 2. However, looks like my assumption is wrong.
So my idea it try to get all of events before dojo.connect and kill all of them, then dojo.connect won't be able to make event handler catch previous occurred events.
Is it possible that something like dojo.stopAllEvent? After doing that, my dojo.connect code will correctly ignore the unnecessary events.
Thanks in advance.

A: While I don't know the answer to the title question, I thought I'd chime in on the onChange oddity.
I would have assumed the same thing as you, but it turns out that when you set the value of a form widget, the onChange event is fired with a timeout. From dijit.form._FormWidget:
// setTimout allows hidden value processing to run and
// also the onChange handler can safely adjust focus, etc
this._onChangeHandle = setTimeout(dojo.hitch(this,
    function(){
        this._onChangeHandle = null;
    this.onChange(newValue);
    }), 0); // try to collapse multiple onChange's fired faster than can be processed

This means that your step 2 proceeds and attaches the second onChange listener before the event actually triggers. What you can do to possibly solve your problem, is to use the set method's third argument.
yourFormWidget.set("value", myNewValue, false);

The third argument is called priorityChange, and when set to false the onChange event will not be triggered. Hope that helps. (Thanks to kgf on #dojo for teaching me :-) )

A: If your actual question is simply how to avoid "hearing" the changes from your set calls before connecting the event, then one potential answer essentially lies within what I told Frode which he relayed earlier.
dijit.form._FormWidget fires onChange via a timeout, which essentially ensures that it actually fires only after the current function chain finishes executing.  Therefore, currently your connect ends up actually "winning" the race against the onChange firing, which you don't want.  You should, however, be able to force it to "lose" by also performing your actual connection within a timeout similarly.
Example:  http://jsfiddle.net/kfranqueiro/ur8tf/
Of course, if Frode's suggestion suffices for your purposes, it's potentially easier on the eyes.

When parents should push for heavy coat
By Kendall Powell
Special to The Washington Post
Every winter morning as my kindergartner and I head for the bus stop, I hear the same lament: "Do I have to wear my heavy coat?" I know I'm not the only parent to have heard this kind of protest, but as a science writer I can offer an evidence-based response beyond "Yes, because I said so."
Are we over-bundling our kids when we stuff them into those big parkas? How warm need a coat be? And what's the science behind those temperature ratings on many kids' jackets?
First: Kids generally run hotter than adults do. The metabolic rates for kids up through their teens are higher than those of most adults, and so are their activity levels. As a result of both these factors, kids tend to generate more heat than adults do.
But the younger-than-12 set also has more surface area relative to their mass, which means they lose body heat faster in cold temperatures. Kids also have a less-developed system for regulating body temperature and tend to have less natural insulation, the fat layer just under the skin.
"I think of them like little hummingbirds," says Deborah Mulligan, a professor of pediatrics at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. "They are burning through calories at a higher rate, which renders them more sensitive to extreme temperature changes. You have to make sure they are replacing that fuel with food and drinking."
The net effect is that, yes, kids are more vulnerable to losing body heat than adults and should be bundled properly in jackets, gloves and hats. Indeed, the adage about losing more heat from the head is true, says Lee Beers, a pediatrician at Children's National Medical Center.
"A hat can go a long way toward keeping your child warm," Beers says. "If you are going to fight over something, that might be the thing to fight over."
So, at what temperatures should parents enforce coat – and hat – wearing?
Paul Stricker, a youth sports medicine specialist at the Scripps Clinic in San Diego, advises bundling up for temperatures (including the windchill factor) between 10 and 32 degrees. If windchills dip below 10 degrees, it's best to stay indoors to play.
Hypothermia can be a risk for young athletes playing outdoor fall or winter sports, Stricker says. A child who has gotten hot and sweaty, then suddenly gets taken out of the game might experience a rapid drop in body temperature.
"The child may feel hot," Stricker says. "But they need to avoid cooling off too quickly. They should peel off layers gradually."
So what are the best coats for that outer layer?
"By far, down is nature's best insulator," says Todd Christiansen, kids merchandise manager for Lands' End in Dodgeville, Wis.
Elizabeth McCullough, a textile scientist at Kansas State University, explains that this is because down provides the most warmth – by trapping air between the goose feathers – for the least weight. And down is the most compressible insulator, giving kids less restriction. But down also loses insulating ability when wet, and it's expensive. Synthetic materials, such as poly-fill, are cheaper insulators that still work when wet.
McCullough, who developed the mathematical model used by companies such as Lands' End and L.L. Bean to rate the warmth of kids' coats, says that the best design sandwiches the insulation between a waterproof, windproof outer shell and an internal liner.
McCullough's conclusion comes from testing on "STAN," a computer-operated mannequin whose molded plastic shell is fitted with 20 thermal zones, each with a heater to simulate metabolic output rates. McCullough dresses STAN in a winter outfit plus a parka and uses a fluid running through tubes to heat him to 95 degrees, the average human surface temperature.
She then chills the air in the mannequin's sealed room to 41 degrees and measures how much power it takes to maintain STAN's surface temperature. That tells her the insulation value of the garment, which allows her to determine the temperature range in which the garment will keep a wearer comfortable.
By taking into account children's particular physiology – higher surface-area-to-mass ratio and metabolic rate, lower body temperature and blood volume, and a decreased sweating response – McCullough's team came up with a formula to set temperature ratings for a parka worn by a 4-year-old and another for a 10-year-old. A 2009 study using these calculations indicated "the base ensemble" – the clothes worn under the parka – "had a major effect on jacket ensemble insulation and the predicted comfort temperature" of the wearer.
In other words, she explained later, a one-inch layer of good insulation covering the whole body is better than a 4-inch puffy coat that covers only a child's torso: "The best way to protect children is to protect all body parts as evenly as possible."
As any parent knows, that's easier said than done.

The Bridge Worker's Home is a location in Spirit Tracks situated in the east section of the Snow Realm.
As its name suggests, the place is the home structure of the bridge worker, Kenzo, and is the only house located in that area.
After being told by Linebeck III about a bridge worker who lives in the Snow Realm area, Link comes in search of Kenzo to repair the broken bridge that leads to the Ocean Realm. Once he agrees to be taken to the Trading Post, the Bridge Worker's Home will be empty since Kenzo will either remain in the Trading Post or head to the Anouki Village if Link takes him there after bringing Lumber to an Anouki who plans to add a fence.
East of the house are four Rocks that encase an area with a buried Treasure Chest. The Song of Discovery, once played, will unveil the Chest containing a Big Green Rupee, worth 100 Rupees.

Spanish Americans
By: Pure History
Many Spanish Americans are less active in Catholic church activities than was common in past generations in Spain; they rarely change their religious affiliation, though, and still participate frequently in family–centered ecclesiastical rituals. In both Spain and the United States events such as first communions and baptisms are felt to be important social obligations that strengthen clan identity.
A Spanish American is a citizen or resident of the United States whose ancestors originate from the southwestern European nation of Spain. Spanish Americans are the earliest European American group, with a continuous presence since 1565.
History: Immigration waves
In colonial times there were a number of Spanish populations in the present–day U.S. with governments answerable to Madrid. The first settlement was in St. Augustine, Florida, followed by others in New Mexico, California, Arizona, Texas, and Louisiana. In 1598, San Juan de los Caballeros was established, near present day Santa Fe, New Mexico, by Juan de Oñate and about 1,000 other Spaniards. After the establishment of the American colonies, an additional 250,000 immigrants arrived either directly from Spain, the Canary Islands or, after a relatively short sojourn, from present-day central Mexico. The Canary Islanders settled San Antonio de Bejar, San Antonio, Texas, in 1731. Most of the Spanish settlers in present-day Texas, California, New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona were of ethnically-mixed ancestry, or mestizo. Most self-identified Spanish-Americans in the Southwest differentiate themselves nominally from the population of Mexican-Americans who came after the Mexican Revolution.
The earliest Spanish settlements in then northern Mexico were the result of the same forces that later led the English to come to North America. Exploration had been fueled in part by imperial hopes for the discovery of wealthy civilizations. In addition, like those aboard the Mayflower, most Spaniards came to the New World seeking land to farm, or occasionally, as historians have recently established, freedom from religious persecution. Some of the new Spanish settlers were descendants of Spanish Jewish converts, while others were descendants of Spanish Muslim converts.

Q: Are both of these phrases grammatically correct? Are both of these phrases grammatically correct?

*

*Preparation of medicinal plant extract.

or

*Preparation medicinal plant extract.

Can both be used as headings?

A: These are rather phrases than sentences but it does not matter for all practical purposes.
The first is correct:

Preparation of medicinal plant extract.

In the second, you need to change word order as someone has already suggested in the comments:

Medicinal plant extract preparation.

However, it still sounds a bit awkward as such a long subject is difficult to comprehend, so if I were you I would go with the first sentence.
Generally, such transformations between A of B and B/(adjective from) B A often exist:

Washington Governor Signs Net Neutrality Rules Into Law
by Wendy Davis @wendyndavis, March 6, 2018
Washington Governor Jay Inslee has signed a bill that requires Internet service providers to follow net neutrality rules.
The measure, slated to take effect by June 6, prohibits broadband providers that operate in the state from blocking or throttling traffic and from charging companies higher fees for prioritized delivery.
"We've seen the power of an open internet," Inslee stated during a ceremony on Monday. "It allows a student in Washington to connect with researchers all around the world -- or a small business to compete in the global marketplace. It's allowed the free flow of information and ideas in one of the greatest demonstrations of free speech in our history."
With the move, Washington became the first state in the country to require all broadband providers to adhere to open Internet regulations. Last December, the Federal Communications Commission voted to rescind open Internet rules passed during the Obama administration. The repeal, published last week, won't take effect for at least two more months.
Lawmakers in around two dozen other states are considering new legislation similar to Washington's. In addition, governors of five states -- Montana, New York, New Jersey, Hawaii and Vermont -- have signed orders requiring Internet service providers to follow net neutrality rules as a condition of obtaining state contracts.
Washington's new law may not hold up in court, if challenged by broadband providers.When the FCC voted to repeal the net neutrality rules, it also voted to block states from passing their own versions of the regulations. It's not yet clear whether that prohibition on state laws is enforceable.
