Q: How do I have common file path for Windows and Linux in Junit Test Suite? My Junit test suite configured to execute in Windows and Linux environment. I developed 2 possibilities of code to achieve the same. I am really not sure about the OS independent behaviour with below code. I am new to java. Please suggest.
public static void main(String[] args) {
        String directoryRootFromFile = null;
        String directoryRootFromUserDir = null;
        String propertiesPath = null;
        directoryRootFromFile = new java.io.File(".").getAbsolutePath()  + File.separatorChar + "data";
        directoryRootFromUserDir = System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separatorChar + "data";
        propertiesPath = directoryRootFromFile + File.separatorChar + "abc.properties";
        System.out.println(propertiesPath);
        propertiesPath = directoryRootFromUserDir + File.separatorChar + "abc.properties";
        System.out.println(propertiesPath);
    }

1st Output : C:\workspace\test\.\data\abc.properties
2nd Output : C:\workspace\test\data\abc.properties

A: Use relative paths. Do not manipulate paths as Strings; rather, use the Path and Paths classes. Use the JUnit TemporaryFolder class to create a test fixture that is automatically set up and torn down for you.

A: Assuming the following source layout.
├── pom.xml
└── src
    ├── main
    │   ├── java
    │   └── resources
    └── test
        ├── java
        │   └── test
        │       └── FileTest.java
        └── resources
            └── data
                └── abc.properties

Where abc.properties has the following contents.
foo=foo property value
bar=bar property value

The following tests passes.
@Test
public void test() throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {

    String testRoot = this.getClass().getResource("/").getFile();

    Path path = Paths.get(testRoot, "data", "abc.properties");

    File file = new File(path.toUri());

    Properties prop = new Properties();
    prop.load(new FileInputStream(file));

    assertEquals("foo property value", prop.get("foo"));
    assertEquals("bar property value", prop.get("bar"));

}

7 LibreOffice Alternatives For Creating Documents
Kamal Dasila
LibreOffice is a very powerful and productive office suite that is also a free and open source software. It contains a word processor, a spreadsheet program, a presentation program, a diagramming tool, and a database management program. Once downloaded to Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems, it can be installed and used offline. It has a simple user interface that makes it very easy to operate. LibreOffice supports and lets you import all the file formats of Microsoft Office.
There were some features that we found lacking in LibreOffice like it doesn't have a collaboration feature and also doesn't have an app for smartphones. That being said, LibreOffice is not the only office suite that offers you tools to create word, presentation, and spreadsheet files. There are many, if not better open source tools out there that can be used as its replacement. Take a look at our list of 7 great office suites.
LibreOffice Alternatives
1. Google G Suite
Google's web-based office suite consists of Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides as their primary tools. The best thing about it is that it does not need any installation. That is why your shared files can run easily on recipients browser. The user interface is simple and familiar, you can also make use of its speech-to-text voice typing feature for writing. It's a cloud-based tool which makes it easier to collaborate and work with up to 50 members on a particular document. If you are an owner of a document then you can change or make multiple owners and let them assign and restrict roles to other team members. You can track the changes that are made to a file and its history.
It lets you import doc, ppt, xls files from other office suites and you can download your work in the same formats. In addition, It has support for importing PDF and even iWork files from your Mac. You also don't have to worry about internet connection as it works in offline mode and automatically syncs it as soon as your internet connection is back. It is completely free and offers you 15GB of cloud storage to store your files.
Get Google G Suite
2. Microsoft Office Suite
This office suite is bundled with a long list of applications and services, namely Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office Powerpoint, Microsoft Office Access, Microsoft Office Outlook, Microsoft OneNote. Microsoft Office has several versions and with newer versions, you get more features like translation and text-to-speech, as well as stylus pen support for writing digitally on your documents. Microsoft OneDrive provides you 7 GB for older versions and 15 in newer ones. With this, you can save and sync your documents on the cloud and access it from any computer. It also lets you import supported files from other office suites and collaborate with others.
The user interface is clean and quite similar throughout the versions, so if have used an older version of Microsoft Office, you won't face problems with newer one. It is a multi-platform software available to use in Windows, Mac, and downloadable apps for Android and iOS. Microsoft Office is a paid service that you can renew yearly or buy a lifetime activation key.

What makes it a LibreOffice alternative is that you can import all its format to Calligra. It is also a lightweight software that doesn't take much of your space and provides all the feature of an Office Suite. It has a quick and quite responsive user interface and a distraction-free mode in words, which only shows you what you're writing and hide the other elements from the screen. Like LibreOffice, this one is also completely free and open source software that supports multiple OS.
Get Calligra Suite
7. iWork
iWork is an Apple's replacement for MS Office suite. It includes Pages, Numbers, and Keynote for word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation respectively. If you have a Macbook then this is the go-to office suite for you. You will face no problem while importing and editing MS office and other office suite files. Even a Windows PC user can work in iWork with their web-based cloud version called iWork for iCloud.
It has a simple and minimalistic interface that is easy to navigate through. However, its interface and tools placing are completely different than other office suites so it could take a little getting used to at starting. iWork costs $10 per app but you can use its web version for free just by signing in using your Apple ID. It is also downloadable on iOS devices as separate Pages, Numbers, and Keynote app.

At the end of the day, it's your choice that matters, you can choose what seems best for you. I personally use Google Docs for all my writing work and making spreadsheets. But these are some good Office Suites for you to choose from.

Do let us know which one you use for your everyday work and if you have a favorite.

Water is returning to the Delta.
With it – life and hope.
Photo by Bill Hatcher, Sonoran Institute.
When we started this program nearly 20 years ago, our goals were audacious. We hoped to: Restore the Delta's habitats through on-the-ground projects; Renew hope and the environment for this dying ecosystem by promoting community engagement and long-term stewardship; and Reconnect the Colorado River to the Sea. And now, this has become a reality.
In the spring of 2014, more than 100,000 acre-feet of water surged through the gates of the Morelos Dam at the U.S.-Mexico border. For the first time in a decade, the river flowed through the Delta, reaching the Upper Gulf of California in mid-May 2014. This monumental event (which at one point, seemed impossible) is breathing new life into the Delta region. The Sonoran Institute is proud to be a leader of this impactful program. We theorized that sending a surge of water down the Colorado for the first time in decades would allow nature to take over and spur natural germination of native species like cottonwoods, willows and mesquite. And it turns out, we were right.
Since the pulse, there has been a nearly 25% increase in plant growth, reversing a decade of decline. With new plants have come more and different kinds of river-dependent birds, good news for both the Delta's environment and the ecotourism industry.
While very positive overall, the results show that the Delta still needs our help. With the help of bulldozers and other equipment, we've been able to tear out the invasive plant growth that is choking the riverbed. Areas we cleared ahead of the pulse had much higher germination success than those left alone. But progress is clear, and so is hope for more water: the Colorado River Delta Water Trust remains on track to meet its water delivery goals under Minute 319.
Witness the impact of the pulse flow in this amazing video narrated by Robert Redford.
The Sonoran Institute is committed to continuing our efforts to bring exciting changes to the Delta. We encourage you to learn more about the various Delta Program initiatives and get involved today!

Q: In mongodb, how to add field from one collection document to another collection document based on criteria I am having 2 collections -

*

*Collection name is content

*Collection name is surveys

I actually want to add the "type" information from the content collection to every content in every survey in the "surveys" collection.
I know in SQL we have to join these 2 tables first on _id and content_id commun columns and then add type column to suryeys table but not sure how should i do it here. I want the type value from content collection to add in every content field inside surveys collection. Please help me.

A: One option is:

*

*Using $lookup to get the data from content collection

*Merge the arrays using $mergeObjects and $indexOfArray. After the lookup, the content data is on someField array. This step finds the releant content from someField and put it inside the matching survey's content item, under the key type. This step also removes someField.

*Format the result using $map. This step uses $map to iterate over the content array and format the data under type to contain only the wanted part.

*Save it back using $merge. This step saves the result back into the collection.

db.surey.aggregate([
  {$lookup: {
      from: "content",
      localField: "content.content_id",
      foreignField: "_id",
      as: "someField"
  }},
  {$set: {
      someField: "$$REMOVE",
      content: {$map: {
          input: "$content",
          in: {$mergeObjects: [
              "$$this",
              {type: {
                  $arrayElemAt: [
                    "$someField",
                    {$indexOfArray: ["$someField._id", "$$this.content_id"]}
                  ]
              }}
          ]}
      }}
  }},
  {$set: {content: {$map: {
          input: "$content",
          in: {$mergeObjects: ["$$this", {type: "$$this.type.type"}]}
  }}}},
  {$merge: {into: "surey"}}
])

See how it works on the playground example

A: In mongoose (I assume you could be using mongoose, sind you added the tag) you can specify the relation in Schema definition and just just populate to add these fields to the output.
If you are not using mongoose you can use $lookup (https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/lookup/) in your aggregation pipeline.

{
  from: "content",
  localField: "content._id",
  foreignField: "_id",
  as: "someField"
}

Novembers Doom is an American death-doom band from Chicago, currently signed to Prophecy Productions. Along with Evoken and Rigor Sardonicous, Novembers Doom is one of the earliest American death-doom bands still active today.

History

Formation and early history
Novembers Doom formed in 1989 as the death-thrash metal band Laceration. Gradually, the band began to change their sound towards a heavier, slower style, at which point the name Novembers Doom was adopted as the band members felt it more suited their current direction. By 1991, the band was getting noticed in the metal underground for their dark heavy music on early demos (such as the "Scabs" demo, which was re-released as part of the Amid Its Hallowed Mirth remastered CD released in 2008).

Exploring and expanding, the band added female backing vocals and continued its thick, eerie brand of metal. An early 7-inch record deal with Regress Records, of Italy, allowed Avantgarde Records to hear the band. This recording was heavy, combined with moods of darkness and despair. The two songs would lead to the release of the band's full-length debut CD, Amid Its Hallowed Mirth on Avant Garde and Nuclear Blast in early 1995.

Shortly thereafter, the band had a lineup change, which would include Jim Bresnahan of Contagion, Cianide, Kommandant fame and a new two song demo was recorded, Her Tears Drop. A compilation track for Pavement Music soon followed. By 1996, the band found themselves having yet another major lineup overhaul, with vocalist Paul Kuhr and female vocalist Cathy Jo Hejna eventually being the only two original members left.

In 1997, the newly revamped and refocused lineup of Novembers Doom released the EP For Every Leaf That Falls. The disc was well received, leading to favorable reviews and response worldwide. This led to the band signing a new deal and releasing their second full-length album Of Sculptured Ivy and Stone Flowers, with Martyr Music Group. This new offering had received rave reviews and much media attention and even received high praise in print from their peers in My Dying Bride and Moonspell.

In May 2000, Novembers Doom entered the recording studio once again, to record the follow-up to Of Sculptured Ivy and Stone Flowers. The band has recorded The Knowing with Studio One's Chris Wisco. The CD is an extension of the previous material, only taking steps in new directions.

In July 2000, Novembers Doom officially became a member of Dark Symphonies. Realizing the band's potential, they constructed a deal with Martyr Music Group, to include the band on its roster, releasing The Knowing to the public.

With their third full-length release receiving praise, and a European licensed release of the CD through Pavement Music, Novembers Doom secured themselves more attention than before.

To Welcome the Fade
In October 2002, Novembers Doom entered the studio to begin work on their second full-length of new material for Dark Symphonies. The band's fourth full-length album would be entitled To Welcome the Fade, only this time they recruited the talents of the Grammy Award-winning producer, Neil Kernon. Kernon, best known for his work with acts like Hall & Oates, Kansas, Yes, Queensrÿche, Judas Priest, and more recently Nevermore and Cannibal Corpse, brought a new power and clarity to the sound of the band. This album was chosen as the Number One metal album of 2002 in Metal Maniacs magazine by one of its head editors, Novembers Doom was also a featured cover story on their January 2003 issue.

Signing with The End
In 2004, a successful tour in North America with The Gathering eventually led to a signing with The End Records that summer. During that tour, a CD sampler was given away at each show, entitled Reflecting in Grey Dusk, which featured songs from each previous release, as well as an early demo version of the song, "In the Absence of Grace". This song was listed on the cover as being included on the upcoming album, "Ascension". However, by the time the new album was recorded, the title of the album was changed to The Pale Haunt Departure. The album was recorded in the Fall of 2004, and this time around the band enlisted the help of the very respected producer and artist Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity, Bloodbath and Nightingale) for the mixing duties, and the mastering went to metal guitarist and producer James Murphy (Testament, Obituary and Disincarnate). The engineering duties were handled by Chris Wisco at Studio One in Racine, Wisconsin.

In March 2005, The Pale Haunt Departure was released with a tour supporting it. Novembers Doom continued to forge ahead, meshing diverse musical styles and textures in the pursuit of always creating a new and unique listening experience with each new release, while retaining their heavy sound and dark lyrics. With the incorporation of new guitarist/songwriter Vito Marchese, a more straightforward "death metal" approach was incorporated into the songwriting, while still retaining some of their previous dark doom/death sound on certain songs.

In November 2006, Novembers Doom performed their first full-length overseas tour in Western Europe, touring with the bands Agalloch, Saturnus, and Thurisaz in support. Shortly thereafter, in early 2007, they released their next CD, The Novella Reservoir, which continued further down the musical path the band had embarked upon with the previous CD. This new CD garnered many favorable reviews and attention for the band. They returned to Europe later that year to record their upcoming DVD release, The Novella Vosselaar: Live In Belgium, at the Biebob Club in Vosselaar, Belgium. The DVD was released on August 5, 2008. A live CD is also tentatively planned, with no release date set yet.

2008 also saw the re-release of the band's first two CDs, Amid Its Hallowed Mirth and Of Sculptured Ivy and Stone Flowers, on their current label The End Records. Both CDs featured new artwork, bonus tracks and remastered sound. The End Records also re-released their third CD, The Knowing, on November 22, 2010, in honor of the album's 10-year anniversary. This release featured a newly remixed, remastered alternate version of the album on one disc, and a second disc that features the original, untouched version from 2000.

In June–July 2008, the band returned to Europe for their third road trek, most notably performing at the Graspop Metal Meeting festival on June 28, 2008, in Belgium.

In 2009, the band released their seventh full-length CD Into Night's Requiem Infernal, and toured behind it in late 2009 and early 2010, making appearances at several festivals such as Brutal Assault Festival in Czech Republic, and Caos Emergente in Portugal. A music video for the song, "A Eulogy For The Living Lost" was also filmed in late 2009, and was released in early 2010.

Their eighth album, Aphotic, was released in early 2011. Their ninth album, Bled White, was released in 2014. They released their tenth album, Hamartia, in April 2017.

Signing with Prophecy Productions
On November 1, 2018, the band announced on Facebook they had signed to Prophecy Productions. They released their eleventh album, Nephilim Grove, one year later on November 1, 2019.

Cuban Immigrant: "Communists" Are Trying to Take Over America
By : shawn
Cuban immigrant Maximo Alvarez has made a hell of a life for himself in the United States. After coming to this country over 60 years ago, Alvarez worked his way up to become president of Sunshine Gasoline Distributors, raised a beautiful family, and made the absolute most out of the American dream. He carved out of a life for himself that would have been utterly impossible in his native Cuba, where freedom is little more than a distant memory. Invited to the White House last week to be part of a roundtable discussion with Hispanic leaders, Alvarez said that he now fears that the U.S. is following Cuba down a dark path.
"I arrived in this great country and almost 60 years later, I'm sitting next to the President of the United States talking about the American dream," Alavarez said. "The only country in the world, no other country in the world that you can start a business from the trunk of your car and within a very few years with hard work, commitment, and all the core values that we learn from this very culture of ours, we can become very important to our future. We can become those people who make the next generation better than the one before. This is the only country. Why do you think you had to close the borders?
"Because everybody in the world wants to come over here," he continued. "Nobody's ever forced to come over here. We come over here, in my case because my parents chose that I would not be indoctrinated by the communist country, by the totalitarian country, by the totalitarian regime. They don't educate children. Absolutely not. And this is something that we need to understand. What is happening in our backyard today, I experienced as an 11-year-old. I remember vividly all the promises that a guy named Castro gave, and how 99% of the people swallowed the pill."
Alvarez said that he's concerned that today's younger generation is beginning to fall for some of the same tricks. Not in Cuba, though. In America.
Alvarez noted that when he came to this country, he was given nothing more than opportunity. "That," he said, "is the most valuable thing in the world."
"That's the America that these people are trying to destroy today by using funny terms like socialism," he said. "They're not, they're communists. Don't ever forget that. I know our president understands that because he knows, he's been all over the world. And you're surrounded with great people, very loyal people, and we have our back.
"My father said: 'Don't lose this place because you're never going to be as lucky as me. Because if you lose this place, you have no place to go,'" he said. "So with that, please keep that in mind. And please, people, explain that to our young people who are demonstrating out there. Don't be useful idiots. Please understand what's happening in our country. See what happens to our parents and see what is happening to America today."
Sometimes it takes someone from the outside to understand just how unique and unprecedented and wonderful America really is. Is it perfect? Of course not. It never will be. But if we strip it down and destroy it, we will soon understand just how much we took for granted. Take a trip to Cuba and get a sneak preview.

The need to encourage and equip the next generation of community leaders in Memphis is obvious to those who know our city best. To meet this demand, our young leaders need a place where they can learn proven leadership skills in a mutually challenging environment from top-flight coaches and mentors. Such a place is now available in Memphis. It is called NEXUS: A Proven Experience in Leadership.
NEXUS was founded in 2003 as a vehicle for the development and improvement of leadership skills, as well as a means for participants to make valuable connections with leaders in the Memphis community. Relationship is the key component of the NEXUS experience. NEXUS is unique in that it seeks to duplicate the experienced leader and develop the young, emerging leader through mentorship and relationship.
"We are looking for protégés who are emerging leaders who have not emerged in their organization. We are looking for mentors who are making a difference in Memphis and we would like to replicate their leadership skills," says Pastor Sandy Willson, NEXUS Co-Founder.
This initiative creates a forum for interaction across religious, racial, and gender lines based on the common interests of leadership development and community improvement.
Now within over 800 principle-centered leaders trained NEXUS continues with the same vision and mission of building a stronger Memphis through the duplication and multiplication of principle-centered leaders.

Zachery "Zack" Mitchell (* 7. Januar 1993 in Orangeville, Ontario) ist ein kanadischer Eishockeyspieler, der zuletzt bis Mai 2022 bei den SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers aus der Schweizer National League unter Vertrag gestanden und dort auf der Position des rechten Flügelstürmers gespielt hat.

Karriere
Mitchell verbrachte seine Juniorenzeit von 2010 bis 2014 bei den Guelph Storm in der Ontario Hockey League, nachdem ihn diese im Jahr 2009 in der vierten Runde der OHL Priority Selection an insgesamt 71. Stelle ausgewählt hatten. Insgesamt absolvierte er in diesem Zeitraum 374 OHL-Partien und verbuchte dabei 288 Scorerpunkte. Am Ende der Saison 2013/14 gewann er mit dem Team den J. Ross Robertson Cup.

Bereits kurz vor Ende seiner Juniorenkarriere war der ungedraftete Free Agent im März 2014 von den Minnesota Wild aus der National Hockey League verpflichtet worden. Diese setzten ihn mit Beginn der Spielzeit 2014/15 in ihrem Farmteam, den Iowa Wild, in der American Hockey League ein. Dort verbrachte der rechte Flügelstürmer die folgenden beiden Spielzeiten. Auch zu Beginn der Saison 2016/17 gehörte Mitchell zunächst zum Aufgebot Iowas, ehe er im November 2016 erstmals in den NHL-Kader Minnesotas berufen wurde und sein Debüt feierte.

Nach vier Jahren in der Organisation der Wild erhielt er nach der Saison 2017/18 keinen neuen Vertrag in Minnesota, sodass er sich im Juli 2018 als Free Agent den Los Angeles Kings anschloss. Dort kam er ausschließlich bei den Ontario Reign in der AHL zum Einsatz und wechselte anschließend im Juli 2019 zu Neftechimik Nischnekamsk aus der Kontinentalen Hockey-Liga (KHL). Nach einer Saison in Diensten von Nischnekamsk wechselte der Kanadier im August 2020 zum Ligakonkurrenten Dinamo Riga aus Lettland. Nach 24 KHL-Partien, in denen er nur neun Scorerpunkte erzielt hatte, wechselte Mitchell innerhalb der KHL zum HK Dinamo Minsk, wo er die Spielzeit beendete. Anschließend zog es ihn in die Schweiz, wo er in der Saison 2021/22 bei den SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers in der National League auf dem Eis stand.

International
Mitchell spielte für das Team Canada Ontario bei der World U-17 Hockey Challenge 2010 und erreichte dort mit der Auswahl den zweiten Platz. In sechs Turnierspielen erzielte er ein Tor.

La Malsanne – potok górski w grupie górskiej Écrins we francuskich Alpach Delfinackich, prawobrzeżny dopływ Bonne. Płynie na terenie departamentu Isère. Długość ok. 13 km.

Źródła potoku Malsanne znajdują się w gminie Chantelouve, na terenie Parku Narodowego Écrins, zaś jego dolina prawie w całości wyznacza zachodnią granicę tego Parku.

Malsanne bierze początek na wysokości 2510 m n.p.m. w jeziorze du Vallon położonym u zachodnich podnóży szczytu Le Rochail (3023 m n.p.m.), najdalej na zachód wysuniętego trzytysięcznika grupy Écrins. Płynie początkowo w kierunku zachodnim, po czym koło przysiółka Les Bosses skręca na południe. Jej dolina oddziela tu od głównego zrębu masywu Écrins (na wschodzie) rozległy masyw ze szczytami Grand Armet (2792 m n.p.m.) i Le Coiro (2606 m n.p.m.) na zachodzie. Poniżej Le Périer dolina Malsanne zbacza ku południowemu zachodowi, po czym tuż poniżej miejscowości Entraigues potok ten na wysokości ok. 750 m n.p.m. uchodzi do rzeczki Bonne.

Amadeus shortlisted for FSM award!
Amadeus has been announced as a finalist in the Sports and Leisure category for the 2013 FSM Awards. The winner will be announced on Monday 25th November when over 450 of the food service management elite will gather to celebrate the industry leading lights.
Amadeus operates at a range of major sports and leisure events, and venues including: the, the LG Arena, the NIA, the Aberdeen Asset Scottish Open, Lawn Tennis Association Eastbourne and Edgbaston, Ricoh Women's British Open and last year operated Olympic Park North at the Games.
The announcement comes after Amadeus successfully provided catering services at 41 venue events and six major outdoor events during one of its busiest summers on record, spanning the length and breadth of the country from Inverness in the Scottish Highlands to Eastbourne on the UK's south coast.
Earlier this year Amadeus also conducted a major refit of the hospitality restaurant, Air at the LG Arena, one of its venues which is often used for sporting events, and brought in a new general manager. The extensive refit meant exciting new menus with a real focus on local sourcing, award winning suppliers and provenance messages, and a five star dining experience.
As well as the Air restaurant, Amadeus operate catering kiosks at the LG Arena, collectively known as Forum Live, offering food and live entertainment as a warm up to the main event. Amadeus is looking to introduce a street food theme to one side of the Forum working with the likes of Old El Paso and Mumbai Streets, and a 'best of British' theme to the other areas.
Due to an increase in events at the LG Arena during June and July, this year saw a formerly unused outside area developed into a space that could be used by everyone and would make some additional revenue – the Outside Inn with a hog roast and bar was born! At all eight events the area was used for the hog roast completely sold out. The team are now looking at a winter option for The Outside Inn and plan to implement live music and deckchairs next summer.
The National Indoor Arena (NIA), another of Amadeus' home venues, is also undergoing a major redevelopment at a cost of £26m. Work is due to be completed in 2015 and will result in enhanced hospitality, including an additional 200 covers and a full hospitality experience to rival the LG Arena Air package will be introduced, in addition to quality, provenance led food and beverage offers and seven-days-a-week retail outlets, all of which will add value to the visitor experience.
As well as committing to improving the quality of existing offerings, Amadeus are planning to further extend their sports and leisure catering portfolio with a number of exciting new opportunities in the pipeline.

AC/DC - Rock or Bust, the Latest Album!
by Taylor Carlson
Rock or Bust is the fifteenth international studio album from AC/DC, released in the fourth quarter of 2014.
For Australia's AC/DC, it has been a long and interesting ride through the world of rock and roll. When brothers Angus and Malcolm Young first put together the band, it is not likely they knew what a cultural phenomenon they would be creating. This is a group that has seen their share of highs and lows, tragedies and triumphs, and some of the most popular and successful hard rock the world has ever known. Events like the death of classic lead singer Bon Scott, Malcolm Young being diagnosed with a serious illness, and Phil Rudd's recent brushes with the law have not deterred them in the creation of their latest studio effort.
Rock or Bust marks the first studio album from AC/DC since 2008's Black Ice. Recent events in the band's history have made people questionable as to the future of the band, but the album has officially been completed. With Malcolm Young out of the band due to his illness, fellow Young family member Stevie (Angus and Malcolm's nephew) has stepped in to fill the void. Phil Rudd appears on the record, as it was completed prior to his legal issues that have came to fruition in recent months (though he does not appear in music videos and will likely be replaced for subsequent tour dates).
In the past two and a half decades, original studio output from AC/DC has become increasingly scarce; this leaves fans all the more eager for whatever the band might be unleashing on the world. That has not stopped the band from doing world tours that remain the stuff of legend amongst hard rock and metal fans.
So, how does Rock or Bust hold up? Seriously, at this point, no matter who you are, if you listen to music at all, you know what AC/DC sounds like. They are not the kind of band to make any drastic changes to their sound whatsoever; they know what works and they stick to it. AC/DC sounds like AC/DC on Rock or Bust, and I cannot possibly think of a greater praise than that. Their classic sound is as alive as ever, and vocalist Brian Johnson sounds as much like himself as he ever has. At a mere 35 minutes, this is one of the shortest albums of the band's career. But despite that, they manage to serve up a diverse and interesting assortment of songs as only they could do. The record does not bring anything new or totally unexpected to the table, but still remains fresh and musically interesting despite that.
An AC/DC album is what it is, and is Rock or Bust ends up being the final record from these Australian rock icons, you can rest assured that they have ended things on a high note. Is this album anything revolutionary? No; it is just 35 minutes worth of these Australian rocker boys doing what they do best. And I think fans can live with that. Rock or Bust gets a strong recommendation from this fan.

Taylor Carlson
Taylor T Carlson Assistant Editor/Senior Staff Writer Taylor T. Carlson was born August 17, 1984, and has called the Vegas Valley home his entire life. A die-hard fan of classic rock and metal music, Taylor has been writing album and concert reviews since he was 16 years old, and continues to do so, having done well over 1,000 reviews. He is also a fan of video gaming and cinema, and has reviewed a number of games and films as well, old and new alike. His thorough and honest (some would say brutally honest) reviewing style has won him the respect of hundreds of music fans and musicians alike, both local and abroad, and the ire of just as many others. Despite being one of the youngest attendees at classic hard rock/metal shows around Vegas, he is also one of the most knowledgeable, having gained the unofficial nickname of "The Eddie Trunk of Las Vegas." In addition to reviews, Taylor has written and self-published three books on classic hard rock bands, and is a regular participant in rock and roll trivia contests. Taylor also holds a masters degree in special education from the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), and has appeared on the hit History Channel television series Pawn Stars. His dream is to be able to one day make a living from writing music books and reviews.

Q: Change HTML with angularJS syntax using a directive I'm trying to learn AngularJS a bit and I want to do the following:
Create a table which has sortable columns and have an arrow image that describes the sorting direction.
What I tried to do is creating a directive called sort which takes the sorting column and changes the sortByColumn variable. This works fine. The only problem is when I try to change the class of the image.
At first I tried using the template to use like this:
link: function(scope, element, attrs)
{
    ...
},
template: ''

This doesn't work because the attrs variable is not defined so the first question would be... is there a way to access the element's attributes inside the template?
If not, what I tried to do next is manually set the html inside the link:
link: function(scope, element, attrs)
{
    element.html('' + element.html() + '');
}

This doesn't work because it doesn't evaluate the ng-class.
How can I achieve such a thing?

A: myApp.directive('sort', function () {
        return {
            scope: {
                sort: "@"
            },
            link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
                ...
            },
            template: '',
            transclude: true
        };
    });

I figured out the answer. I can just use the isolate scope "@" to pass the attribute value.

European Union countries can refuse to disclose names of file sharers on the Internet in civil cases, the EU's top court said on Tuesday in a blow to copyright holders trying to fight digital piracy.
"Community law does not require the member states, in order to ensure the effective protection of copyright, to lay down an obligation to disclose personal data in the context of civil proceedings," the court said in a statement.
Civil proceedings are cheaper than criminal proceedings which typically require a higher burden of proof.

Home/entertainment/Nora Fatehi and Terence Lewis's dance chemistry sets the stage on fire
Nora Fatehi and Terence Lewis's dance chemistry sets the stage on fire
Sovan MaityNovember 11, 2022
Popular choreographer Terence Lewis will replace Karan Johar as a judge on the dancing reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10. However nothing has been confirmed yet. The buzz is in full swing that KJo has other assignments to do and Terence will take over as the judge this time. Sometime back also he was seen replacing Nora Fatehi. The chemistry between Nora and Terence is doing the rounds on social media as they set the Jhalak stage on fire with their performance.
In the promo released by the makers, keeping in mind the special episode of 90, Terence and Nora can be seen dancing to the song 'Hoton Pe Bas Tera Naam Hai' from the movie Yeh Dillagi. Saif Ali Khan and Kajol acted in the film. Coming back to the show, Nora Fatehi looked super hot in a shimmery yellow gown with a back open slit while Terrence rocked her dapper avatar in a black suit.
Earlier, Nora had appeared as a guest judge on India's Best Dancer, where Terence was one of the judges. At that time also their chemistry and dance moves were highlighted.
The dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10 premiered on television on September 3, 2022 and is creating the right kind of noise online. The show is back again after 5 years and looks like it has been successful this season as well!

If training is the key to building a strong rugby player, then nutrition is the keychain. Knowing what to eat pre and post training makes an enormous difference to your results and what you get out of training.
However, it's rare to see athletes who have a proper knowledge of nutrition and understand the basic science around what they're eating. Thankfully we're here to break down your post-gym nutrition to help you make informed choices and recover faster from each workout.
Rugby has rapidly evolved over the last 20 years. It doesn't take much to notice the massive difference in the game today. Players are on average 2 stone heavier and 3 inches taller. The defense is far more structured. Tackles are harder. Penalties are kicked from the teams own half. Injuries are up by an incredible rate. It seems like a different game to the game in the video below – arguably one of the best rugby tries ever. You'll never see such a try being scored today. Many argue it's due to more structure to the game, better defenses which means less mistakes and room to play. Has the evolution of rugby improved or impeded the sport?
Check out this awesome infographic below on the change in Rugby over the last 20 years. Simply incredible.
Here's the problem. Rugby players or performance athletes need to add muscle, get leaner and still improve their performance at the same time in some cases. How is this possible? How can you possibly eat fewer calories than your body needs to function, add muscle mass and still perform at a high level?
Well… soldiers have been doing this for CENTURIES. They aren't given enough food to fuel a day of work, they work hard all day and still manage to improve performance and build a strong physique to withstand the intensity of war/camp.
Well I can tell you, this process can be replicated and it's called flexible dieting guide or "If It Fits Your Macros". If it fits your macros is explained in detail in this article, read on.

Named after King Charles I of England, South Carolina, is the state with the 23rd highest population in the United States of America. It is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Georgia, and North Carolina, to the southeast, southwest, and north, respectively.
Nicknamed the Palmetto State, South Carolina is divided into three broad regions; the Piedmont area, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the Atlantic Coastal Plain. These regions are further subdivided into five cultural sections: the Pee Dee area, the lower Piedmont, the Upstate, the Lowcountry, and the upper Piedmont area.
South Carolina serves up several opportunities to the outdoor enthusiast, and mountain bikers are not left out. The parks and trails in the state offer a good range of forests, nature preserves, and water bodies, making a good case for lovers of nature. Wherever you go in South Carolina, you are sure to encounter wildlife in abundance.
Here, we present a list of ten mountain biking trails to ride in the beautiful state of South Carolina.

Every year, over a million visitors are attracted to the Hunting Island State Park, which is popular for its wide range of outdoor recreational activities, wildlife, and beaches. The lighthouse, which is open to the public, is one of the state parks' highlights. At 130 feet above sea level, the lighthouse gives you a bird's eye view of the Atlantic Coast and the lush forest that envelopes the park.
With over 20 miles of trails that vary in their difficulty levels, Hunting Island caters to every biker's needs. The Diamondback Rattlesnake trail is a devilish trail that was redesigned in 2019 after many storms ravaged the original trail. Mountain bikers with lots of experience will relish the chance to take on this trail. The steep climbs and many technical areas will challenge any rider. Beginners would find the 5 miles long Little Hunting Island Loop Trail interesting. The trail came about as a result of two separate hurricanes and may still occasionally get flooded.
There are 12 trails, combining for a total of 16 miles. Most of the courses are short rides, measuring less than a mile, designed for beginners. The area is flood-prone and continually evolving. So every visit might be different from the last.

One of the most well-known bike trails in South Carolina, the Horry County Bike Run Park is also known as the Hulk.
This 7-mile long trail never disappoints. Although there is no mountain around the area, do not be tricked into believing that this ride is comfortable. The path is anything but easy. There are lots of jumps and switchbacks. The trail also tends to get water-logged whenever it rains. The trail is well-groomed, but it is mostly unpredictable. Aggressive bikers would enjoy this speedy trail, as the many sharp bends and jumps can give that adrenaline pump.
If you are looking for a leisurely ride, this trail is not for you, as you might get run over by other bikers. The location is heavily trafficked by visitors and locales and can get too busy at certain periods in the year. Many groups come here to ride together and get the thrill that comes with a proper workout.

Going as far back as the era of the Great Depression is the Paris Mountain, State Park. Positioned in Greenville, the park was established by the Civilian Conservation Corps, and it attracts mountain bikers and hikers all year round.
The park has over 15 miles of trails, with 10 individual tracks. The trails are rated intermediate, although there are few easy ones and one strenuous trail. The paths are mostly rocky or packed dirt routes, strewn with rock gardens and roots. Wildlife abounds in this gem of a park, with turtles, squirrels, snakes, and deer, some of the animals you can hope to find along the trails.
The most challenging trail here is the Brissy Ridge Trail, which serves both hikers and mountain bikers. The trail is a 2-mile loop that is filled with roots and rocks. The climb is strenuous and goes through an oak and pine forest. Other courses open to mountain bikers are the Kanuga trail, the Mountain Creek Trail, and the North Lake Trail. With so much to see, the Paris Mountain State Park should be on your to-do list.
Located in the northern section of Wannamaker County Park is a 13-mile trail explicitly designed for mountain rides. Wannamaker North trail has only one trailhead, located at Goose Creek. Hikers and walkers also use the trail, but bikers would enjoy it the most.
Constructed by a group of volunteers, the Lowcountry Fat Tire Freaks, the trail is designed to give the best mountain biking feel. It features numerous tight curves and sharp elevation changes. Roots form a prominent part of this trail's thrill, creating obstacles all through the ride. Beech and Oak trees line up the trail's path, all through to the northeast portion, where advanced riders will find their match on the narrow ridgeline built to challenge bikers. There is a BMX-themed skills area where advanced riders can romp around and showcase their bike handling abilities.
The most frequented route here is the Green Loop, which can be ridden as a part of the trail or independently. The loop can be a rapid cracker or a gentle ride, depending on who is behind the handlebars. Every day of the week, there is a different direction pasted on trailhead for bikers to follow.

A two-hour drive away from Wannamaker North Trail will bring you to the Killer 3 Loop Trail, located in Poinsett Park in the town of Wedgefield. The ride could be comfortable or challenging, short or long, depending on the rider's taste.
This Killer 3 Loop Trail system, shortened as the K3, consists of a hundred percent singletrack trails. The 5-mile ride would take an average of two hours to complete. The courses are generally flat, excluding some climbs that are more difficult than they look. The sandy trail is unofficially rated an intermediate trail, but riders at any level would find the trail appealing. If you are looking to make the most out of your visit to Wedgefield, then a good bet would be to ride the adjoining Red Loop Trail or another similar trail, The Knot. When combined with K3, you have a nice ride long enough to satisfy your craving for days.

Set aside in 1995 as a nature preservation location, the Anne Springs Close Greenway has become a hub for outdoor recreational activities. Hikers, horseback riders, families and groups looking for suitable spots for their picnics, and those merely looking to escape the humdrum of urban areas have all found this location welcoming.
With a trail network measuring 40 miles and constantly expanding, it is not too difficult to see why bikers love this spot. The Greenway is properly marked at every major point. The hiking trails are blazed with yellow, the horseback riding trails with purple, and the mountain biking trails with red. The paths are notoriously difficult to navigate, even the so-called easy ones. Perhaps the most challenging trail on this list, the tracks do not pretend to cater to the needs of newbies or bikers looking for a leisurely ride.
Confident intermediate and advanced riders would find the trails here enthralling. The multiple stream crossings, steep climbs, and free-flowing downhills that accompany these singletrack trails would leave your glutes aching and your heart beating faster than ever. The difficulty of these trails does not take away the beautiful scenery all around it. Steele Creek can be seen in its full glory while riding these trails. Sugar loop is a must ride, alongside the Prairie Loop and its lesser-known counterpart, the School Loop.

Located within the environs of Lake Thurmond, Baker Creek is operated seasonally as opposed to being an all-year-round recreational facility. The course flows through Pine and Oak forests.
Lake Thurmond looms large in the background of Baker Creek Trails. There are two other loops plus the main trail that combine for a 10-mile total length of dirt paths through a forest of giant trees. A poplar tree touted to be the largest in South Carolina can be found along the trails. Dense vegetation, with its attendant catalog of wildlife, can be found here.
The loops are straightforward and can be followed easily, even without the many signs on the track. Most trails here rank from easy to moderately challenging, making it suitable for anyone who can ride a bike.

Another purpose-built park for mountain bikers to savor is the Gateway Mountain Bike Park. Occupying a very tiny expanse of land, the mountain bike trails were designed for bikers of all skill levels to sharpen their bike handling skills.
Seeing the park's size, one could be tempted into thinking that the trails would only serve beginner riders. Nothing could be farther than the truth. It is entirely possible to ride all the tracks over and again without feeling you have wholly conquered them.
With a little experience, amateurs looking to take their mastery up a notch will find this park useful, with its flow paths and rock gardens. A short and speedy trial here will thrill advanced riders. With Paris Mountain State Park within the vicinity, this could be a great way to flex your joints in preparation for Paris Mountain. Anyone can ride the loops here and still get the workout that all bikers yearn for.

Famous for its unique and plentiful breed of catfish, the Santee State Park is situated in Santee Cooper Country. The park is particularly appealing to fishers and people looking to ride a boat due to its proximity to Lake Marion. But over the years, mountain bikers have begun to take a slice of the park's trails for themselves. Many families come here for the serene atmosphere and the opportunity to bond.
There are 10 miles of trails that hikers and mountain bikers can use. The trails are mostly flat and easy. Cypress and Pine's trees line up the paths. The paths are blazed in blue to keep you on course. At some point, a clear view of Lake Marion can be seen from the trail. The longest trail is 7.5 miles long and meanders through many miles of pine forests. There are five more trails, all of them short and fast. It is no place for advanced bikers as there are very few signs of obstacles or difficult terrain.

Another park is located around the massive Thurmond reservoir. Hickory Knob is a full vacation facility, complete with an archery range, golf resort, and of course, mountain biking trails, among other facilities. The park is situated in an outlandish area but continues to meet the expectations of the visitors that troop in all year round.
There are three interconnected trails, with the longest being Lakeview Loop Trail, a 7.2-mile singletrack trail with rugged terrain. Here, as with the other trails at Hickory Knob, the uphill climbs are not very lengthy, but they pose a good challenge. Rocks and roots litter the trail's path, which courses through pine woods and oak trees. Another trail that is a must ride is the Turkey Ridge Loop Trail. This curvy singletrack trail has several stream crossings and sharp bends that must be negotiated with utmost care. Beginners would find this trail tasking and too complicated, but it is just the right shade of difficulty for intermediate riders.
Overall, the trails here are rated intermediate, with just the right mix of flowy and challenging rides gracing this location. There is plenty of wildlife here too; deer and birds can be seen riding any of these fantastic trails.
Though South Carolina may not be particularly hilly or mountainous, it has its fair share of trails that will surely put a smile on your face. The majority of the trails are short and easy to ride, making it an excellent spot for beginners and families to learn or hone the art of mountain biking.
One thing that is not lacking in the state is the presence of natural obstacles likes roots and rock gardens. South Carolina's many trails will leave you spoilt for choice. So Pack up your bike and prepare for the ride of a lifetime.
