The Association of Greek-Egyptians is to hold its third world congress in Athens on June 15-17, in a conference entitled "Greek- Egyptian: Cultural Activity - Historical Presence and Perspective".
The event is to be held under the auspices of the Patriarch of Alexandria and All of Africa Petros, as well as Greece's General Secretariat of Greeks Abroad and the Ministry of Culture.
The conference will aim at highlighting the multiform presence and activities of Greeks from Egypt who continue to distinguish themselves in all sectors of social, economic and cultural life.
The ninth annual conference of Greek journalists is to begin today, at the northeastern Aegean island of Samothraki.
The four-day event, themed "Power and the Mass Media", is jointly organized by the local municipality, the Prefecture Administration of Evros, the ministry of press and mass media, the ministry of Macedonia-Thrace and journalists' unions.
The federation of airline employees, OSYPA, has announced that it will conduct a 24-hour strike tomorrow, followed by a 48- hour strike on June 29 and 30.
Their demands include the signing of a collective labor agreement, higher bonuses and more hirings.
While NATO leaders unanimously agreed that the European Union needs to establish its own defense in cooperation with the Alliance, dissenting opinions as to the approach were expressed during the Special Summit held in Brussels yesterday.
Greece's Premier Costas Simitis stated that it is necessary to decide on its defense in cooperation with NATO, albeit adding that this cooperation should not lead to deadlocks in decision- making.
Moreover, he added that the view that the European Union should have its own apparatuses for implementing its decisions was met positively.
Referring to the anti-missile protection system being promoted by the Bush Administration, the Greek Premier stated that it should not lead to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
The need to preserve the existing borders in the Balkan region was stressed by Greek Prime Minister Costas Simitis before the NATO Special Summit in Brussels yesterday, while, referring to the FYROM crisis, he underlined the need for negotiations that will lead to a consensual solution.
The PM also expressed support for strengthening the presence of NATO and the European Union in the region, while he stressed the need for "sealing FYROM's borders with Kosovo", as well as the restriction of the activities of expatriated Albanians who support extremist organizations in FYROM.
Furthermore, Mr. Simitis pointed out that the Greek plan on a "speedy dialogue" for a solution to the crisis has been accepted by Skopje and was adopted during the NATO Special Summit.
The Greek plan anticipates intensive consultations for a solution to basic issues in the region in a period of ten days.
A Comprehensive Technical Agreement (CTA) concerning the status of U.S. military personnel in Greece and Greek military personnel in the US, was signed by Greek Foreign Minister George Papandreou and U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell in Brussels yesterday, on the sidelines of NATO's Special Summit.
According to a US Embassy press release, the signing of the CTA "is a major step forward in the two countries' military relationship. "The agreement consolidates, clarifies and updates provisions of numerous bilateral agreements that supplemented the NATO Status of Forces Agreement and the Mutual Defense Cooperation Agreement of 1990. It coincides with vastly expanded military arms transfers and training between the two militaries during the last three years. With the signing of the CTA, U.S.-Greek military ties are stronger than at any time in recent memory."
As thousands of undocumented foreigners in Greece have already scurried to apply for residency through a "second chance" program enacted by the Interior Ministry, immigrant smuggling is thriving in Albania, where organized rings are trying to take advantage of the legalization period that ends on August 2.
According to the Albanian daily "Koha Jon", which quotes sources from both the Gjirocaster (Albania) and Ioannina (Greece) police departments, the number of illegal immigrants presently residing in border-situated villages surpasses that of the local population.
According to the Interior Ministry's program, aliens eligible for acquiring a residence and temporary work permit must have completed at least one year of residency in Greece by June 2, when the new immigration legislation became enforceable.
The Greek embassy in Ankara has refuted a Turkish press report that an Italian-flagged research vessel was conducting geophysical research in the Aegean on Greece's behalf.
In a statement forwarded to Turkey's Anadolu news agency, the Greek embassy stressed that the vessel in question, the "Sentinel", has been carrying out survey work in the Aegean since May 23 "with the sole purpose of checking out the condition of existing telecom cable nodules and the possibility of laying additional fiber optic cables, from Attica towards Thessaloniki and in the Mirtoon Sea to Crete."
According to the Embassy's press attache Grigoris Arzoglou, the said vessel's surveys are being conducted under the supervision of Greece's state-run telecommunicationss organization OTE, and will be completed by June 21.
"It is clear, therefore, that the work carried out by the �Sentinel' is totally unrelated to any �geophysical studies in international waters', as mentioned in Anadolu's dispatch," Mr. Arzoglou said.
Greece's Foreign Ministry has expressed its deepest sorrow and great concern at the revolting murder of Father Germanos, the abbot of the Greek Orthodox Monastery of St. George, who was shot by snipers near an Israeli army checkpoint on Tuesday.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Panos Beglitis stated that "we appeal to all sides to take all the required measures for the arrest of those responsible for the crime and to bring them to justice."
Father Germanos, 34, originally called George Tsibouktsakis, came to Israel in 1990 from Thessaloniki, and had lived for the past 11 years in the remote St. George's Monastery in Wadi Kelt in the West Bank.
He was shot as he was driving from Jerusalem to his desert monastery near the West Bank town of Jericho. His car had Israeli license plates, which suggests that the attackers thought he was Israeli.
The state budget for the Athens 2004 Olympics Games has been set at 1.5 trillion drachmas (one euro equals 340.750 drachmas), following a meeting between the ministers of National Economy and Finance Yiannos Papantoniou and of Culture Evangelos Venizelos.
The funds are to be primarily derived from the Third Community Support Framework (3rd CSF), as well as from state resources.
The finalized version of the budget is to be ratified next week by the Cabinet.
"The PASOK government will not allow the Aegean Sea to be transformed into a jungle," Minister of Merchant Marine Christos Papoustis stated in Parliament yesterday, adding that the state will not permit economic interests to hold the islanders hostage.
In a House debate on the deregulation of passenger shipping, Mr. Papoutsis outlined the Ministry's draft bill, which aims at opening up Greek routes to competition, thereby allowing for greater state intervention. The bill also calls for the establishment of a ports and port policy general secretariat and the conversion of port authorities into SA companies.
The draft legislation sets the framework for the coastal shipping sector after Greece allows foreign competition on local routes as of October 31, 2002.
While the EU deadline was January 1, 2004, the ministry expedited the end of cabotage following the sinking of the Express Samina ferry last September, and took a number of measures aimed at achieving greater security.
The United States should actively support the rapprochement of Greek-Turkish relations, Western Policy Center's executive director John Sitilides stated during his testimony before the US House of Representatives committee on foreign affairs' subcommittee on Europe.
According to a dispatch from the "Voice of America", Mr. Sitilides was one among three experts who participated in a house debate on US policy in the eastern Mediterranean and the handling of relations with Greece, Turkey and Cyprus.
In addition to Mr. Sitilides, the discussion included testimonies by RAND independent think-tank analyst Ian Lesser, and former US State Department Special Coordinator for Cyprus (in the early 1990s) Nelson Ledsky.
Mr. Sitilides said that, after a gradual re-determination of its national interests, Greece had, in the past decade, developed very good relations with the US, while he also referred to Greece's positive role in the Balkans, the country's economic growth and the increased attention given by the Greek government to confronting terrorism.
In regards to the course of the Greek-Turkish rapprochement and the need for a Cyprus solution, Mr. Sitilides stressed the need for continued US involvement in the efforts for a Cyprus solution but also US encouragement of Turkey's accession to the EU and promotion of a dialogue with the Greek and Turkish armed forces aiming at a reduction of their arms stockpiles.
A 15% of the Greek Telecommunications Organization, OTE, will come to the hands of a foreign strategic associate in the future as this part of the company will be offered by the Greek state through the issuing of a convertible bond.
However, in order for this likelihood to become a reality a sine qua non precondition is the improvement of the situation in the international telecommunications market, according to OTE managing director Mr. Nikolaos Manasis in an interview with MPA.
OTE's investment planning will focus on mobile phone companies as far as the southeastern European markets are concerned said Mr. Manasis, adding that no new investments will be made in domestic phone networks. Mr. Manasis stated that this strategy has an immediate implementation in the Balkans where the organization's investments are targeting a specific geographic region of 65 million consumers.
Within this framework, OTE will seek to acquire an additional 15% of the Romanian Telecommunications Organization, ROMTELECOM, while it examines the likelihood to increase its participation in the COSMOROM mobile phone company. For the record, OTE has bought out 35% of ROMTELECOM and has its management.
Meanwhile, any decisions on the organization's investment planning in the Serb market will be made by the end of 2001. Also, OTE examines the likelihood to invest in the Turkish mobile phone market where exploratory contacts are already being made.
A request for international military intervention in FYROM was expressed by the country's prime minister Ljupco Georgievski in a telephone communication he had with Greek right-wing main opposition party of New Democracy leader Kostas Karamanlis, who is in Gothenburg, Sweden to attend the European Popular Party summit meeting.
Mr. Georgievski referred to the role of the peacekeeping force (KFOR) in Kosovo, stressing that apart from guarding the FYROM-Kosovo borders it can undertake to maintain order.
Greek undersecretary of press and acting government spokesman Tilemachos Hitiris did not rule out the likelihood of a meeting between Greek prime minister Kostas Simitis and US president George Bush to be held on the sidelines of the EU summit meeting in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Mr. Hitiris stated that such a meeting is not scheduled to take place but short meetings of leaders are usually being held on the sidelines of the summit.
Significant losses were recorded in the Athens Stock Exchange today. The general index dropped to -1.58% at 2.853,55 points, while the volume of transactions was 165.72 million Euro or 56.46 billion drachmas.
Of the stocks trading today, the majority namely , 284 had losses and 57 recorded gains, while 40 stocks remained stable.
The Olympus Festival celebrates its 30th year taking up a more musical rather than theatrical character with the participation in its events this year of leading names from the world of music such as, Nana Mouschouri, Giorgos Dalaras, Haroula Alexiou and Italian singer Milva.
The festival will open on July 8 with a concert by Nana Mouschouri and will close on September 1.
Starting next year, the festival will attempt an opening to the Balkans and already a meeting is scheduled to take place with directors of other Balkan festivals for the signing of a cooperation protocol.
The Greek authorities know everything on anything that takes place in Greece and take all necessary measures, stated acting government spokesman Tilemachos Hitiris responding to the question if the security authorities are aware of the alleged UCK activities in Greece and the information concerning fund-raising campaigns that are allegedly being held.
Mr. Hitiris refused to respond to the question concerning the measures that are being taken by the Greek authorities, stating that this is the responsibility of the authorities, while he added that certain measures are confidential.
The plan that was presented in the NATO summit meeting in Brussels yesterday by the Greek government, concerning the handling of the crisis in FYROM, was included in FYROM president Trajkovski's proposals that will be put into effect, stated undersecretary of press and acting government spokesman Tilemachos Hitiris when he was asked if the Greek plan was accepted by the rest EU members.
The undersecretary of press also stated that a meeting of the FYROM political party leaders will be held in Ochrid today to decide on the procedure that will be followed, while comprehensive talks will be held on June 20-24 and for this purpose NATO secretary-general George Robertson and European joint foreign policy and policy of defense chief Javier Solana will visit Skopje.
A large business delegation from the Commerce and Industry Chamber in the city of Lezhe in Albania will visit Thessaloniki's Commerce and Industry Chamber on June 19 for contacts with local businessmen.
The members of the Albanian delegation are mainly interested in the import and trade of building materials, while they also have expressed interest in the construction of public and private buildings.
The issue of hotel infrastructure in the region of Athens, which is necessary to cover the hospitality needs in the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, was discussed in the meeting held today in the ministry of environment, public works and land planning with the participation of minister Kostas Laliotis, culture minister Evangelos Venizelos, minister of development Nikos Christodoulakis, representatives of "Athens 2004" organizing committee and hotel owners.
The hotel owners' representatives pointed out that the Athens 2004 needs can be covered by the existing hotel units if their upgrading proceeds. They also expressed the wish that the presence of foreign business groups in Greece will be limited.
In addition, the government ministers mentioned above had a meeting with "Athens 2004" representatives and the committee that has undertaken the Olympic village construction.
Albanian rebels located at the village of Aracinovo reportedly suffer from Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), as visibly attested by photographs maintained by FYROM's secret service agents.
According to the Skopje daily "Dnevnik", these rebels infiltrated Skopje from Kosovo, where CCHF breakouts have already resulted in the deaths of four individuals, while 27 others are being treated in various hospitals.
Skopje's Infectious Diseases Clinic has warned that CCHF could easily be transmitted into FYROM, given the high number of locals who travel back and forth to Kosovo.
As of last week, the World Health Organization had confirmed 20 cases of the rare disease in Kosovo, although the number of breakouts has to climb to 50 before WHO intervenes.
CCHF is a viral disease that strikes both humans and animals. In humans, CCHF appears suddenly with symptoms similar to those of influenza, followed by a rash. Hemorrhage, which does not occur in all cases and can be more severe in some and less in others, begins on or about the fourth day and continues for about two weeks. The fatality rate is from 2-50%.
In animals, the disease takes the form of mild fever and viremia in sheep, cattle and small mammals such as hares. A vaccine exists, but the most widespread form of control is the use of anti-tick solutions into which animals are literally dipped � a practice that causes extreme trauma and must be repeated regularly to be effective.
Cypriot health minister Frixos Savidis stated today that the doctors treating former Cypriot president Spiros Kiprianou are trying to trace back the course of the metastatic cancer that was diagnosed at the right side of his pelvis.
When he was asked to comment on the state of Mr. Kiprianou's health, Mr. Savidis stated that he expects more information today and added that Mr. Kiprianou undergoes the advisable radiotherapy treatment.

Paragould priest recalls 25 years of happy, tough times
Father Mallanga sent to Sudan during civil war to teach boys in seminary
By Sarah Morris
Jonesboro Correspondent
Sarah Morris
Father Stephen Mallanga, AJ, blesses parishioner Carolyn Whitson's 3-month-old granddaughter, Avery, after Sunday Mass at St. Mary Church in Paragould.
PARAGOULD — Amid the Second Sudanese Civil War, Father Stephen Mallanga, AJ, was sent to Sudan for one year to teach boys preparing for the priesthood.
"It was terrible," Father Mallanga of Uganda said. "That was in 1986. … But I did not finish the full year in the Sudan. There was a lot of civil war going on. There was so many rebels fighting the government and our seminary was practically surrounded by rebels. The seminary was looted four times.
"So, the first time we decided to close the seminary because they wanted to take our boys to fight, to join the rebels," he added. "They would come at night and the government soldiers were not in that area. So we decided the first time, the following morning, to close the seminary. The staff agreed."
None of the boys was taken by the rebels. Father Mallanga said it took them a full week to drive to Uganda with a little water and snacks because the roads were dangerous and there was limited communication.
Still Father Mallanga, 54, said he has never regretted his work — there will be difficulties in life and in pastoral work, but he loves his vocation. His 25th anniversary as a priest was celebrated July 20.
"I'm very happy and, actually, I don't believe it; that I've reached 25 years already. It has been a short time, but it was also a tough time, especially when I was in Africa in those countries where there was war between the government and rebels. It was not easy. Of course, I was a man of prayer. I trusted in God."
Once he had to petition the government in Ethiopia in the 1990s for help after a girl in his parish was abducted. He said girls attended school until the ages of 12-15 and then they got married. Father Mallanga said he was able to convince some parents to leave their girls in school and found sponsors to cover the girls' school fees.
"One of these girls was real clever. She was interested in school and she was doing very well," he said. "The parents also wished her to study, but according to the culture, if the boy has loved the girl, he can take her at any time, even by force."
A boy and his friends abducted this girl as she followed her mother home one night. Father Mallanga met with the parents and parish council and received permission to petition the government for help.
"They got her the following day," he said smiling. "They arrested the boy and they brought the girl back. She was so strong."
It was one of Father Mallanga's proudest moments. He said she continued her studies and is now a nurse.
Father Mallanga said, as a young boy, his grandmother made sure she did not leave him behind when she went to church. He became an altar server and attended a Catholic boarding school about 60 miles from his home.
"One time … the (priest) announced in the church that the boys who would like to join the seminary should come after Mass to see him in the office," Father Mallanga said. "So, I went. I just made the decision there when I heard Father announce it. My parents did not know what I was doing. I did it alone at school."
Deciding he wanted to be a missionary priest, he spent two years at a novitiate before traveling to Nairobi, Kenya, to study three years of philosophy and four years of theology. It was between his studies in philosophy and theology that Father Mallanga was sent to Sudan for one year of pastoral experience.
Father Mallanga was ordained a priest July 20, 1991, as a member of the Apostles of Jesus religious order. His first assignment was in Ethiopia, where he remained for 17 years.
He left in January 2007 to serve as his order's vicar general for six years at its headquarters in Nairobi. He then served one year at St. Jude Parish in Masindi, Uganda, in 2014 before moving to the Diocese of Little Rock.
He now serves at St. Mary Church in Paragould and Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Walnut Ridge. He said the parishioners have been "good to me" — welcoming, friendly and eager to introduce him to their culture and people.
"Now, it is one year and five months since I came and I feel at home," he added. "I am happy."

Mary Alexandra Agner
Madison, WI – Themes of curiosity and exploration infuse the poetry in Mary Alexandra Agner's new collection, The Scientific Method (Parallel Press, 2011).
Many of the poems examine the legacy of women scientists, mathematicians, and medical practitioners. In After Math, the poet recalls Florence Nightingale: "To the modern world, / pictures are not epiphanies. / Lump together all those bodies— / summed and graphed by hand— / and the nineteenth century / would ache with rot and TB / where today we see a piechart." In the lines of Jump the Chromosome, the poet asks Nobel Prize winner Barbara McClintock "Teach me to leave off counting, / reverence the difference of a single aberration." The poems that make up The Scientific Method are found at the intersection of scientific inquiry, humanity, and gender, and invite reflection and thoughtful examination.
Mary Alexandra Agner lives in Massachusetts. Her writing has appeared in The Raintown Review, The Flea, Astropoetica, and Science. She can be found online at http://www.pantoum.org.
A review of The Scientific Method appeared in the May-June 2012 issue of American Scientist (Vol. 100, No. 3). Writes reviewer Sarah Glaz, "[The poems] are intelligent and well crafted, and written in a variety of styles—mostly free verse, with a few more-traditional poetic forms. The book has a strong feminist flavor. The collection displays, and encourages, a lively intellectual curiosity. The sense of mystery created by the poet's biographical note persists throughout the volume: I frequently found myself intrigued by the biographical or scientific information glimpsed in a poem and was compelled to search out more."
The Scientific Method was reviewed by Judy Barisonzi in Verse Wisconsin Issue 109 (2012). "Agner," writes Barisonzi, "portrays [women scientists] as fascinated by the "finite mystery" ("Perception Test") of the world science reveals to us, and as motivated by humanitarian zeal."
Jump the Chromosome
Barbara McClintock, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1983
Teach me to leave off counting,
reverence the difference of a single abberation.
Give me your thirty years of patience
waiting for the world to listen to your truths.
I want to jump the chromosome.
What twists of self, what sister strands,
remain inside my rings, never expressed?
Take me underneath the microscope's fierce light.
Teach me how to self-pollinate.

Bennett Trenchless was the prime consultant to the City of Solvang for preliminary design of the 16-inch diameter, 1,400-foot horizontal directional drilled crossing of the Santa Ynez River. The existing force main had been originally installed in the river bed using open-cut methods. Scour had exposed the pipeline and threatened its survival. A new force main had to be installed parallel to the existing force main, connecting the wastewater treatment plant on the south side of the river, to the pump station on the north side of the river. Preliminary design included review of existing geotechnical information, execution of a supplemental geotechnical investigation, acquisition of environmental permits, calculating pullback loads and pipe stresses, evaluation of hydrofracture and settlement risks, and design of the crossing itself.
Bennett Trenchless teamed with the HDD Company, Inc in a design-build contract to finalize design and construct the pipeline. Horizontal directional drilling was used to install 1,400-feet of 16-inch DR 11 HDPE pipe at a maximum depth of 80 feet below the river bed. Tie-ins on either side of the crossing were designed by Penfield & Smith and constructed by Hanly Construction. Bennett Trenchless provided full-time on-site construction inspection for the horizontal directional drilling portions, as well as the testing and contact grouting. The project was completed within budget and schedule with no claims.


West coast swing has a reputation for being an incredibly musical dance. While other dances are danced to music, WCS provides the opportunity for both partners to interpret the music to a far greater degree than other dance styles.
This series will introduce you to the fundamentals of musicality. If you don't have a background in music, this is a great place to start learning about musical phrasing, chords, and the other elements that allow dancers to find their way around a piece of music. If you already know music theory, this series will help you work that knowledge into your dancing.
Like all skills, actively listening to music and musical interpretation require practice. If you don't already, start listening to music on a regular basis. Whether you listen while driving, exercising, doing the dishes, or working, make music a constant part of your life. For now, feel free to listen to anything. We'll identify specific elements of WCS music in future posts, but for now the key is to get a lot of music running through your head.


Since Taos at the Argentine Post just posted about Bon Jovi coming to Argentina on October 3, I thought I would one-up him and post some even more exciting concert news. That's right, the Jonas Brothers are coming to Buenos Aires!
They're playing River Plate with special guest Demi Lovato (whoever that is) on November 4, 2010 and tickets go on sale August 12 at 10am, so go get in line now!


One of the struggles for parents of children with special needs can be creating a healthy and active social life outside of school. Recognizing this challenge and offering solutions is the Friendship Circle of Illinois, a local nonprofit that connects Jewish teenage volunteers and children with special needs for weekly visits, special outings and group activities. "It has proven to be very helpful in creating and maintaining friendships," says Rabbi Zelik Moscowitz, director of the program, which has been around in the Chicago area for the past four years.
The Friendship Circle works to address the needs of local children with special needs that range from fragile X syndrome to autism to physical disabilities, Moscowitz says. Last year, for example, the organizers noticed that typical children are often encouraged by their friends to join after-school activities, clubs and sports teams. But this can be difficult for children with special needs when the services aren't properly equipped for them. To address this need, the Friendship Circle launched several short-term clubs that are specifically targeted toward these children, like the cooking club and martial arts club. A crafting club, the third part in this series, will begin in mid-February.
With more than 100 local teens volunteering and 60 families participating, everyone has something to gain from the program, Moscowitz says.
"Teens are thinking about others. They take it very seriously when they're put to the challenge to help someone else," he says. "They're doing it not because of any rewards that they receive, but out of the goodness of their hearts and to make the world a better place."

On Saturday, the 8th September 2012, a new church and priory were consecrated by the Bishop of Uijongbu, Bishop Peter Lee in the presence of Cardinal Grech and other dignitaries. The church seats one hundred and twenty people and the Augustinian priory, which will now also serve as the novitiate house, has ten rooms for the friars, novices and private retreatants.
Earlier on the same day Cardinal Grech had baptized a local benefactor of the Augustinians. This was Cardinal Grech's first baptism of an adult. In Korea the majority of baptisms are of adults; ten percent of Korea is now Roman Catholic.
On Sunday morning Cardinal Grech took part in a typical Korean 11.00 am Sunday parish Mass (see phofto at left). On Monday, 10th September, in Incheon Catholic Cathedral, Cardinal Grech ordained a Korean Augustinian to the priesthood; this was also the cardinal's first sacerdotal ordination.
Cardinal Grech rightly considers himself a missionary, at least indirectly, as so many of his students over the years came from missionary countries. During his ten days' stay he met several of his former Korean students who are now bishops, seminary rectors and professors in their own right. One of these was Bishop Lazzaro You, Bishop of Daejeon, who organized for Cardinal Grech to visit the two martyr shrines in his diocese.
The Catholic Church in Korea is just two hundred and thirty years old, and its first hundred years saw five major persecutions of Christians. Apart from the official one hundred and three canonized martyrs there were many unknown martyrs who were summarily killed and buried in mass graves. It was one of these sites that the Cardinal visited. The other was the birth place of the first Korean priest, Kim Dae-Gon, who was martyred at the age of twenty-four years.
The remaining time was spent by the Cardinal's giving a spiritual talk at the Incheon Catholic seminary to over a hundred seminarians, visiting the two other Augustinian houses and taking in the cultural sites of Seoul and its surrounds. Highlights were visits to two famous Buddhist temples.
The year 2013 then saw the completion of Stage Two of the building project, which was a free-standing retreat house with fourteen twin bedrooms able to cater for up to thirty retreatants.


May 20, 2015 - Curt Wieden: Mike Reilly - The only pictures I have from that era are from the epic Music Lab band Bloody Bill & the Hemophiliacs show in the HHS theater, and they're blurry because Bill Lee didn't wear his damned glasses that day. But I'll post them here in this thread, starting with this one of Bill Johnson and Jeff Meissner.
Curt Wieden I can't make your birthday, but I'm in for a big jam some day. Thinking a 400 minute cover of Twist and Shout.

You need to inject every 50 pixels.
You cannot just cut wherever you want, incans or LED minilight have very defined places that you can cut the strings with out adding resistors or other components to compensate for the missing lights. Not to say you can't cut or add 1 or 2 if needed, but if you can't find smaller sets you just have to "hide" the excess lights on the back side, or use black out caps, or some other way to cover them up. I just have the back side of my frame covered with black plastic sheeting.
Oh alright, yeah I have used black out caps on one of my other signs last year. I am about to start looking for small sets im guessing like 35 maybe would do the eyes and mouth i know it depends on size mine is going to be kinda small i guess 2 foot tall about 18 inches wide.

Around 80 kilometres south of the city of Valencia and lying on the provincial boder, Puerto de la Llacuna takes us abruptly from the coastal flats of la Safor to the mountainous roads and climbs of inland Alicante so familiar to cyclists from all over the world.
Popular among local cyclists and set to feature as the first of the six scheduled climbs of Stage 7, the first real test of the 2021 Vuelta a España, this 10 km 1st Cat. climb has an overall average gradient of 6%, with kilometres at 10% and maximum ramps of up to 17%.
CLIMBS IN VALENCIA
Lined with cork trees and replete with endless curves, Port d'Eslida is a very popular climb with Valencian cyclists that offers spectacular views over the surrounding countryside.
Located in the south of the province of Castellón and some 60 km to the north of the city of Valencia, the 6 km climb of Port d'Eslida is a relatively easy climb that acts as a gateway to the beautiful Serra d'Espadà Natural Park, with its medieval heritage, sandstone mountains and dense cork forests.
CLIMBS IN CASTELLÓN
The River Turia Natural Park trail follows the course of the River Turia from the centre of Valencia some 35 kilometres upstream to the village of Vilamarxant in the comarca of Camp de Túria.
The route takes us from the spectacular architecture of the Santiago Calatrava's City of Arts and Sciences in the heart of Valencia to the depths of the wild countryside that borders the region's main river.
ROUTES IN VALENCIA
Spain has over 2,800 kilometres of disused railways that have been converted into traffic-free "greenways" for use by cyclists, walkers, horse-riders, etc.
The ever-expanding nationwide network currently includes 11 former rail routes within the Valencian Community.
La Carrasqueta is 12 kilometre climb lying just inland from the city of Alicante
The spectacular climb takes us up to a natural balcony at @1020 m.a.s.l. overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the city of Alicante, some 40 kilometres away.
Passing over the Serra Grossa range and linking the comarcas of Vall d'Albaida and la Costera, el Puerto del Portitxol is a relatively easy, regular climb that is popular with local cyclists and which can be slotted into numerous hilly routes in the lesser-known southwest corner of the province of Valencia/northwest corner of the province of Alicante.
For the 2019 edition of La Vuelta a España, the organizers of the Spanish national tour have pulled a real rabbit out of the hat in the form of the previously-unused climb of el Alto de Javalambre - or el Picón del Buitre, as it is more commonly known -, atop of which sits the spectacular Javalambre Astrophysical Observatory.
We know that we are by no means the first to say it, but it nevertheless remains true: while it may not be the hardest, nor the steepest, climb in Alicante, the north side of Coll de Rates is most surely the best-known and most-popular climb in the province, attracting cyclists from all over the world throughout the entire year.
The River Júcar, or Xúquer in Valencian, runs for approximately 500 km from its source at Ojuelos de Valdeminguete, on the eastern flank of the Montes Universales, Cuenca, close the sources of the rivers Tajo, Cuervo, Turia and Cabriel (the latter serving as its most important tributary) to the Mediterranean Sea.
Located in the northernmost extreme of the province of Alicante and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Vall de Ebo (Vall d'Ebo in Valencian) is one of the Region's most popular climbs among amateur and professional cyclists alike.
Indeed, due to its proximity to coastal resorts such as Denia, Calpe and Altea, so popular in the off-season among the world's leading pro cycling teams, it's not uncommon to come across many of the international peloton's most famous faces both climbing and descending its slopes, team cars dutifully bringing up the rear. And it's not hard to understand the climb's attraction for cyclists of all levels: with its 7.5 km length, multitude of hairpins and gradients between 5% and 13%, on a ranking of 1 to 10 it can comfortably be classified as a doozy.
CLIMBS IN ALICANTE
Amid the numerous topics and issues dealt with on a regular basis in the specialist cycling media - bicycle paths, carbon components, electronic shifting, urban transport, disc brakes, health and fitness benefits, women's racing, bike-sharing, gravel riding, smart trainers, folding bikes, etc., etc., etc. -, there's a curiously ambigious place reserved for the "e-bike", seemingly situated at an equidistant point between unbridled praise, general indifference and outright rejection.
El Puerto de Barx is a popular climb among Valencian cyclists, due to its proximity both to the La Safor coast and to the mountains of the Sierra Grossa range. At around 5 kilometres in length, it's not a long climb, and it's not too hard, either, enabling cyclists to take in the magnificent views towards the coast as they tackle its numerous hairpins.
As part of a welcome series of measures aimed at improving safety for cyclists and at promoting the tourism attraction of the region's inland villages and towns, a few years ago the Provincial Council of Valencia launched a project to install road-signs specially designed for cyclists on some 20 mountain passes covered by the province's road network.
September 15th sees the 4th edition of the "Dones Bicibles" Gran Fondo, organized by and for female cyclists with the support of the Valencia Region Cycling Federation and the Royal Spanish Cycling Federation.
The route, which starts and finishes in the town of Bocairent and covers some 100 kilometres through the south of the province of Valencia and the north of the province of Alicante, will see the participants face around 1700 metres of vertical climbing.
Registration, which is limited to 200 cyclists, is open until September 9th Cycling Club.

Dones Bicibles is a cycling club sponsored by the Valencia Regional Cycling Federation and dedicated to the promotion of cycling for women.
The Road Engineering Research Group (GIIC) of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, (UPV) is currently developing the research projects "Bike2Lane - Improvement of the safety and operation of conventional roads with cyclists", subsidized by the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness (TRA 2016 -8089-R), and "Safe4Bikes - Measures to improve road safety on conventional roads with bicycles riding in groups", subsidized by the Directorate General of Traffic (SPIP2017-02280).
The purpose of both projects is to analyze the effects caused by the presence of cyclists on conventional roads (both individually and in groups) in terms of traffic and, above all, road safety.
In order to carry out both projects, it is essential that the researchers involved are aware of the perception both of drivers and of cyclists about the roads they mutually share.
Therefore, the GIIC would like to invite those interested in assisting the two projects to complete a survey (one for drivers and one for cyclists). Both surveys are anonymous, and the information provided will be used solely and exclusively for the purposes of the reserach projects in question.

The Vall d'Albaida Cycling Tourism Route, "Roda la Vall", is a recent initiative from La Mancomunidad de la Vall d'Albaida which, after consultation with those involved in the local tourism sector, took the admirable decision to employ bicycle touring and cycling as a means to promote this relatively unknown area of Valencia.
15th edition of the Iberian Congress "The Bicycle and the City" to be held between May 16 and 20, 2018 in the city of Valencia
The Iberian Congress "The Bicycle and the City", the oldest bicycle-related congress of its kind to be organised in Spain, is a joint initiative between "ConBici" and the Portuguese "Federação de Cicloturismo e Utilizadores de Bicicleta". The first edition of the congress was staged in 1996, while the latest was held in the Spanish city of Zaragoza.
The 15th edition of the Iberian Congress "The Bicycle and the City" is being organized by the collectives València en Bici-Acció Ecologista Agró and Bici es Vida and will be held between May 16 and 20, 2018 in the city of Valencia.
Its aim is to present the most significant developments and experiences related to the bicycle as a method of transport in Spain and Portugal, and is to include a series of events centred on the design of bike lanes, school paths, cycle routes, regulations, inter-modality, public bikes and new types of urban bikes, among others.
In the words of the Congress' website:
"The creation of a friendly, quieter city, with more green spaces and social usage and with fewer cars, requires the involvement of the city's residents in the transformation of the urban environment. In this sense, the 15th edition of the Iberian Congress "The Bicycle and the City" aims to become a key element of this collective reflection. That is why the axes on which the congress is based are designed in a way to facilitate a holistic approach the urban complexity in which we find ourselves on a daily basis and into which the bicycle has been inserted. We believe that understanding the dynamic relationship between citizenship, urban planning and different modes of transport is the best way to achieve this goal, hence the Congress' talks, speeches and workshops seek to strengthen the city's citizen/organizational/professional/political network."
Parallel activities
The 15th Iberian Congress "The Bicycle and the City" will include the celebration of the 3rd Female Cyclists Meeting and the 2nd Bicifest Valencia Festival.

Legal and Safety
As is the case in many countries, there are often quite a lot of grey areas in our knowledge about what is and what is not legally-permissible when cycling on public roads in Spain, which can lead to a degree of uncertainty about what we can and cannot do when we are out riding our bikes.
In our "Legal and Safety" articles, we'd like to help shed some light on what, to the best of our knowledge, are our legal rights and obligations when out and about on our bikes in Spain.
We hope our artciles will be of use to you. However, we are not lawyers, nor do we offer professional legal advice, so please don't take our word for it and, as always, we recommend you consult a responsible adult before taking any action in relation to doing anything whatsoever. Just in case.
So, having said that.....
What is the maximum speed limit for bicycles on Spanish roads?
This question was brought to light recently in the wake of an incident that occurred near the Valencian village Barx, which sits on a plain at the top of a long, fast descent down towards the coastal city of Gandia. It's a beautiful mountain road, by the way, and well worth a visit. Barx can be reached either by climbing from Gandia in the east, or from the village of Simat de la Valldigna in the north.
On April 14, a cyclist was fined 100 euros by members of a Civil Guard traffic patrol after being caught by radar travelling downhill at 77 km/h on a stretch with a 60 km/h limit, and the response - suprisingly outraged in nature from some quarters - was not long in coming. Amid the toing, froing, cursing and headscratching from members of the cycling community about the "fairness" of the penalty, the question about just how fast cyclists are allowed to travel on Spanish roads remained.
It's a pertinent question and one to which the answer, as is so often the case in these matters, is "it depends......".
Let's take it by parts.
Firstly, we have the maximum speed limits for bicycles on the road as applicable within cities, villages and other built-up areas. Given Spain's highly decentralized political system, the country has a multi-tiered approach to the creation of regulations and legislation, and in such cases the speed limits will be established by the local/municipal authority and indicated by means of traffic signs for each specific urban area.
As every municipality has the capacity to establish its own limits, we can only recommend observing the speeds indicated on the applicable street signs. These are usually going to be around the 30 km/h limit in built-up/residential area although, we repeat, we would do well to pay attention to individual, specific indications.
Secondly, there is the question of the maximum speed limit for bicycles on interurban roads, that is, roads outside and between built-up areas.
According to a recent tweet by the Dirección General de Tráfico (Spanish Traffic Authority), it would appear that the official maximum speed limit for bicycles on Spanish roads is 45 km/h:
@DGTes "Generic speed limits in Spain"
We can see the speed limit as applicable to bicycles in the right-hand column of following chart:
45 km/h, for all roads - that would seem to make things quite clear, although again, we would be wise to bear in mind the existence of specific municipal regulations.
Furthermore, this seems to be borne out by Article 48 of the Spanish General Traffic Regulation (Regulación General de Circulación), which states:
Article 48.- Maximum speeds on interurban roads.
1. The maximum speeds which must not be exceeded, except in those cases detailed in Article 51, are as follows:
e) For bicycles, two- and three-wheel mopeds and light quadracycles: 45 kilometres per hour.
However, Article 48 1 e) immediately proceeds to mention an exception to this limit:
Nevertheless, cyclists may exceed the mentioned maximum limit on such stretches where the traffic/road circumstances allow for higher speeds.
This would seem to be a definition open to varying interpretations, and hence a possible cause of conflict. It would, in principle, seem to be the interpretation applied by the Civil Guard to our budding Nibali on the descent from Barx, as the fine was issued for travelling at 77 km/h on a stretch of road with a 60 km/h limit, and not for having exceeded the 45 km/h maximum limit established for bicycles in the General Traffic Regulation.
Exactly when and where the "traffic/road circumstances allow for higher speeds", however, is not clear.
Is this an important issue while cycling in Spain?
In general, it probably isn't: the case in question made the news to a large degree precisely because of its unusual nature, and cyclists being fined for speeding is certainly not the order of the day.
However, it would be wise to bear in mind that such speed limits do exist when cycling on Spanish roads.
The damage that one can do to oneself when emulating Lo Squalo di Messina is, in principle, a matter for personal concern, but things can, and often do, become more complicated when other road users and third parties are involved and not speaking Spanish, chasing a Strava segment or being on our holidays are not, to the best of our knowledge, considered extenuating circumstances under Spanish legislation.
Be safe.
One year after its inauguration in March 2017, Valencia's Cycle Ring Road (Anell ciclista) has registered a 20% increase in users.
Valencia's Transit Management Centre (Center de Gestió de Trànsit de València) recently published data reflecting the average daily usage of the municipal cycling network, which has registered an overall monthly increase in users of 2.3 percent. The most noteworthy figures reflect the 20.6% increase in use of the city's Cycle Ring Road, in conjunction with a drop in the volume of motorized traffic over the same period.
Characterized by its uniform width of 2.5 metres and its location on the city's roads, rather than its pavements, this key element of the city's transport infrastructure runs in a circular route through the central points of Calle Xátiva, Plaza San Augstín, Guillem de Castro,the right bank of the Turia Gardens, Plaza de Tetuán, Puerta del Mar and Calle Colón.
The overall number of users using the Cycle Ring Road has increased by almost 4000 per day over the last year, with points such as Calle Xàtiva having registered up to 3,105 cyclists per day.
It is notable that the number of cyclists using the bridges which cross the Turia Gardens, and which serve as the main points of access to the Cycle Ring Road, fell by 1.9%, whilst bicycle traffic in the rest of the city rose by 4%.
With a 22.8% increase, Calle Cuenca in the east of the city registered the highest growth in usage of all the points that lie outside the Cycle Ring Road.


I am leaning into this today. Nearly everyone I've come into contact with; my kids, my sensei, teachers, instructors, session leaders, friends, everyone seems to be going through heavy stuff today. Though I feel pulled in all these different chaotic directions and have even caught myself almost snapping back at people, I'm choosing to remain solid and calm and patient with those around me. The Creator is guiding me and is directing my path.
I try to have as many happy spaces as possible. Little ones, so that if one is occupied or crowded, I have options to go to another. Ferry Bar Park down by the water on a sunny day. The pillows by the window in the front room at Impact Hub. The secret beach down by Fort Smallwood. My bedroom, nestled in velvet sheets and thick quilts. A class called Writers Therapy where we share with each other. Between my headphones riding the bus on a rainy night. Flying down country roads straddling my motorcycle. My hammock, strung between my roof rack and a tree in Druid Hill Park. I believe it is important to have as many spaces of peace as possible so that you can have as much peace as possible.

UAE's Sheikh Sultan appointed to the board of global esports body IESF
The International Esports Federation is also expanding into the Middle East
The UAE's Sheikh Sultan bin Khalifah Al Nahyan has been elected to join the new board of the International Esports Federation (IESF), the world's esports governing body.
Sheikh Sultan, the president of the Asian Esports Federation, will serve with the new board for the period from 2019 to 2022.
Colin Webster (South Africa) has been re-elected as the president and Vlad Marinescu (US) will serve as the vice president.
Established in 2008 as a non-profit organisation with over 56 national federations, IESF is currently the largest representative esports organisation in the world.
"This year's board are full of leaders in their own right with a proven track record," said Webster.
"Sheikh Sultan bin Khalifah Al-Nahyan, Young Man Kim and Vlad Marinescu have been in sports and specifically esports administration," he said.
Earlier this year, IESF also signed an memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the UAE's Motivate Media Group, parent company of Gulf Business, to expand in the region.
The agreement comes ahead of the Esports industry summit and consumer exhibition scheduled for 2020, backed by the IESF, Dubai Sports Council and the Emirates Esports Association.
Currently, the esports category has over 300 million gamers across the Middle East alone.
"IESF is really excited to be collaborating with Motivate to establish a number of world-class Esports products that represents an important step in supporting Esports growth in the UAE, the Middle East and globally," Webster said at the time.
"Artificial Intelligence will have a considerable impact in all aspects of life, and sport is no exception. By providing thought leadership to AI in sport, this will clearly help shape future policy and its applications for a better world," he added.

Shell sued for negligence by Nigerian farmers
Four Nigerian villagers are suing Royal Dutch Shell for failing to clean-up oils spills that have destroyed their farms and damaged their health in landmark case that has started in The Hague.
By Louise Armitstead and Emily Gosden: 6:58PM BST 11 Oct 2012
The fishermen and farmers, who are backed by Friends of the Earth, are seeking unspecified damages for polluting land and waterways around their homes. That campaigners said that if successful, the case could open flood-gates to a raft of claims for compensation on Shell and other oil majors.
Channa Samkalden, a lawyer representing the Nigerians, told the court that Shell had allowed its pipelines to fall into disrepair and then had not cleaned up the mess from subsequent leaks. She said: "Shell knew for a long time that the pipeline was damaged but didn't do anything. They could have stopped the leaks."
Eric Dooh, one of the plaintiffs from the Goi community which is based near a Shell pipeline, said: "My community is a ghost land as a result of the devastation. We had good vegetation. Today people have respiratory problems and are getting sick."
Shell denied negligence. The company said the pipelines were sometimes damaged by thieves intent on stealing oil. Around 150,000 barrels of oil, worth $6bn, are stolen from the Nigeria delta every year, the company told Reuters.
In a statement, the company said it was "committed to cleaning up all spills from its facilities whether resulting from sabotage or from operational causes where communities grant access to do so." It added: "The real tragedy of the Niger Delta is the widespread and continual criminal activity, including sabotage, theft and illegal refining, that causes the vast majority of oil spills. It is this criminality which all organisations with an interest in Nigeria's future should focus their efforts on highlighting and addressing."
Last year, a report by the United Nations concluded that multinational oil companies were responsible for 50 years of damage to the Ogoniland region, part of the Nigeria Delta.
Shell is the biggest company in the area with a production capacity of one million barrels a day.
The case is expected to take between six weeks and 12 weeks to conclude.

Numerical Simulations of Volcanic Ash Plume Dispersal for Sakura-Jima Using Real-Time Emission Rate Estimation

PUFF model, ash dispersion, Sakura-jima volcano, aviation safety, airborne ash density
In this study, a real-time volcanic ash dispersion model called PUFF is applied to the Sakura-jima volcano erupted on 16 June 2018 to assess the performance of the new system connected with a real-time emission rate estimation. The emission rate of the ash mass from the vent is estimated based on an empirical formula developed for the Sakura-jima volcano using seismic monitoring and ground deformation data. According to the time series of the estimated emission rate, a major eruption occurred at 7:20 JST indicating an emission rate of 1000 t/min and continued for 15 min showing a plume height of 4500 m. It is observed that we need to introduce an adjusting constant to fit the model prediction of the ash fallout with the ground observation. Once the particle mass is calibrated, the distributions of ash fallout are compared with other eruption events to confirm the model performance. According to the PUFF model simulations, an airborne ash concentration of 100 mg/m3 extends to a wide area around the volcano within one hour after the eruption. The simulation result quantitatively indicates the location of the danger zone for commercial airliners. The PUFF model system combined with the real-time emission rate estimation is useful for aviation safety purposes as well as for ground transportation and human health around active volcanoes.

A view from Little Tokyo.
This post is long overdue, and woefully incomplete. I lost my photos of most of my meal and haven't replaced them yet. But the occasion of Daikokuya's 11th anniversary necessitates a post of the place that inspired my, and most of LA's, ramen awakening.
Just when you thought little Little Tokyo could not have any more ramen openings, Hollywood's Ikemen opens a branch in the very recently shuttered Curry House To Go space. Does this new entrant have anything to say?
Let's just say it – this might be the single most delicious thing in LA right now.


This Louis Féraud evening dress from c. 1970 features a bold graphic floral print in brilliant colors. The dress is made of a silky, lightweight jersey fabric (nylon or polyester), unlined and slightly transparent, slips on to wear with four black buttons at the back of the neck. Body-skimming cut with long flared sleeves, calf-length. Made in France.
Very good. One mark at the lower back (please see picture).

Q: Docker Compose Start Worker After Reboot? I use docker compose to manage docker image in web based using laravel. Here is my docker-compose.yml:
version: "3"
services:
  api:
    image: nginx:latest
    ports:
      - "5556:80"
    volumes:
        - .:/usr/api/
        - ./site.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/site.conf
        - /usr/api/vendor
    links:
        - app
    restart: unless-stopped
  app:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: php.dockerfile
    tty: true
    volumes:
        - .:/usr/api/
        - /usr/api/vendor
        - ./uploads.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/uploads.ini
    restart: unless-stopped

My configuration above automatically run docker when server reboot. My question is how to run worker job automatically when server reboot. Right now, i run worker manually using command docker-compose exec app php artisan queue:work. Thanks

A: You can use supervisor to automatically start/restart services. See the Laravel docs here:
https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/queues#supervisor-configuration
I use supervisor to manage Horizon queue workers.
Example config from the docs:
[program:horizon]
process_name=%(program_name)s
command=php /home/forge/app.com/artisan horizon
autostart=true
autorestart=true
user=forge
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/home/forge/app.com/horizon.log

Alternatively, you can use systemd or a similar process manager by itself, if you're on Linux.
Run supervisor on startup
Manage Docker as non root user
pm2 is another popular process manager

A: You need to integrate php artisan queue:work command in your entrypoint script.

CCTV footage shows moment thieves steal £1,200 from elderly man in Harold Hill
CCTV footage shows a suspected robber who stol £1,200 from a pensioner in Harold Hill
Residents have raised more than £500 after two men stole a large sum of cash from an 81-year-old pensioner in Harold Hill.
Tracy Allgrove from Collier Row was taking her dad Michael Hawes to the shops in Hilldene Avene on Thursday, September 19, when the theft happened.
She told the Recorder: "When he left the bank my dad put his money in a bright envelope and left it in the footwell of my car.
"I went to Sainsbury's and told him I would only be a minute.
"When I came back he was staggering about in the road looking bewildered.
"He said 'I've been robbed'."
Tracy later learned that two men had tapped on the car window and told her dad to look at some damage that had been done to the back of the car.
CCTV footage shows Michael leaving the car and another man taking the envelope with the money from the front of the vehicle.
Two men had previously approached Michael at his home address and offered to cut his trees.
They asked him to pay £2,000 upfront for the work and claimed to be friends of his neighbours.
However Tracy later discovered that her father's neighbours didn't know the men.
"We don't know if it's connected," said Tracy.
"I'm so angry. They waited until I went to the shops. Why would people target the old?"
Michael is currently undergoing treatment for bladder and prostate cancer and Tracy said he has barely left the house since the incident.
She added: "He's quite shaken up by this and now he feels like a victim. He feels vulnerable.
"People in Harold Hill have been great.
"They've set up a Go Fund Me page and someone is coming to do his trees for him, but this doesn't take away the fear."

Q: Add Class to one dropdown Remove Class From others I have an overlay Menu that has 3 dropdowns.
When you click on one of the parent items if it has a dropdown , a class is added to the child  to "activate" the dropdown and it expands and shows. Currently it works fine , and on click the class is added and removed if clicked again.
The problem is currently you can have all dropdowns active and open at the same time. What I need to happen is to have only one dropdown be able to be active at a time.
if one dropdown is active , and the user clicks on another , the original active dropdown closes and the newly clicked one becomes active.
Also if the dropdown is active and user clicks on the same parent item again the dropdown closes.
Current HTML
I have excluded all other list items except for the ones that have dropdowns.

Current Jquery
Here is the original Jquery I was using to do a basic toggle of active class, Basically just using the toggleClass on the child UL of the clicked trigger.
Commented out , I previously tried removing all active classes and then instead of toggling the class on click element I was adding, but removing all classes , only to add it to the clicked one made it not possible to close a dropdown by clicking the same trigger again.
var $overlayDdTrigger = $('.js-overlay-dropdown-trigger');

var $overlayClasses = {

    // Active css Class for dropdowns in Main Overlay
    OverlayDdActive: 'dropdown--overlay-is-active',

    ButtonIconIsRotated: 'btn__icon-is-rotated',
  };

  $overlayDdTrigger.on('click', function() {

    if (_isMobile) {
      // Attempt to to remove all active classes on UL's prevents dropdown from
      // being able to close if the same trigger is clicked twice

      // $('ul.dropdown--overlay-is-active').removeClass($overlayClasses.OverlayDdActive);

      $(this).children('ul').toggleClass($overlayClasses.OverlayDdActive);

      $(this).find('.btn__icon-right').toggleClass($overlayClasses.ButtonIconIsRotated);
    }
  });

Thank you for the help in advance, I know there are a lot of questions that relate to this problem on here, I did a lot of searching but could not find any that would help me with this specific case.

A: i hope this will work plz comment if it cause any problem.
