Dusk begins to settle on the cemetery just outside of the city. This is where the call has taken Dante. He arrived a few minutes ago and in that time he has already started to become restless. The call he received earlier told him about strange activity in the cemetery. Dante automatically assumed it was another lame job involving partying teenagers or would-be devil worshippers. He was ready to turn it down until the person gave him the password for his services. These jobs are special jobs. These are the kind of jobs that interest Dante. Anyone who manages to obtain the password can request his services for jobs involving the supernatural, namely demons. When he's financially stable enough, in other words less in debt but still in the hole, Dante will hold out until he is given the password for his special jobs.
The cemetery is eerily quiet which is typical. A light breeze rustles the trees and gently stirs up the fallen leaves on the ground. Dante sighs heavily as he has done periodically for the past few minutes. He walks to the nearest headstone and props his sword against it. "You don't mind if I sit here for a bit, do you?" he asked the person buried below him as he settled himself alongside his faithful companion.
Here's a situation Dante has had before. He's in a quiet place where anything can happen or nothing can happen. It reminds him of the boring jobs Lady has suckered him into doing. They start out extremely quiet and get even quieter. After Lady swindles some more cash out of her contact, Dante is usually left holding the check. Lady's jobs usually involve punk kids causing mischief, but once in a while they'll involve the very thing that peaks Dante's interest—demons. Big jobs for Lady typically revolve around demons which in turn involve Dante who would go on more assignments with Lady if not for one thing—lack of information. Dante has to play a guessing game when it came to her. If she told him about the job he'd refuse. However, this isn't one of Lady's jobs.
When things are this quiet for Dante, it means something is about to happen. Unlike Lady's jobs, his start out quiet and get loud. This is one of those times. If something were to happen now would be perfect with Dante relaxing against the headstone.
Suddenly, a thin light streaks diagonally across the headstone. A split second later, the top half follows the cut that has been made and lands on the soft ground. The angel who sliced the headstone steps up to look at the empty space on front of it. Before it can begin its search for the man in red, the angel feels something cold pressed against its head.
Dante has somehow avoided getting an extremely close shave. He cracks a wide grin. "I thought I told you before…I don't sleep much," he says. A single shot rings out and the angel vanishes in a bright flash of light. Dante then scans the area to see that he is surrounded. It doesn't take him long to figure these were the same angels he felt while doing a job in Europe. What started out to be uneventful has become interesting. Though they're not demons, taking out a few of heaven soldiers just may be the medicine for his boredom. "Strange activity in the cemetery, eh?" Dante said. "So those disappearances were your doing? You guys have been pretty active. What, things in heaven starting to get dull? Well then, why don't we help each other out and cure each other's boredom." The silver haired man thrusts his sword in the ground and stands behind it with his arms crossed holding his guns.
One angel quickly flies at Dante from behind. It twirls its staff and thrusts it forward. Dante spins around, deflects the weapon with Ebony and blasts the angel's halo with Ivory. The other angels immediately converge on Dante the moment one of their own fell. Dante whips out a spinning back kick, striking his sword on its hilt. Rebellion flips end over end until it is impaled in one angel's chest. Dante rushes through the crowd of heavenly hosts to retrieve his beloved weapon, dispatching them as he went. The angels swing their staffs in an attempt to stop him but to no avail. They can't stop the Devil Hunter running their gauntlet. Dante leaps over two angels' staffs, aims his guns and ends their existence before landing on the ground. The moment his feet touch the grass, he quickly side flips to avoid another staff and quickly takes out another angel. Dante stomps down on the staff of yet another angel. He smiles at this one before casually destroying its halo, and then he stops an attack from another of heaven's helpers with one gun. Dante blasts the staff away and then does the same to the angel at the end of it. He resumes his rush toward the angel with Rebellion in its chest. Three of the angel's comrades attempt to bar Dante's path. The angel in front raises its staff high when Dante came close. Dante quickly jumps over the angel's head as it brought its staff down and lands on its back, taking a moment to take a quick bow. The angel soon bucks him off. With a twist, Dante lands on the grass, throws one arm back and blasts his temporary pedestal away. The two other angels quickly rush Dante, flanking him on both sides. Dante blocks the incoming strikes with both Ebony and Ivory. He has the staffs locked in a parry with his guns. He looks at the angel to his right and then the one to his left. Flashing both of them his coolest grin, he whips his arm around, knocking both staffs away. Dante tosses his guns high in the air and makes a move for Rebellion.
"Thanks for holding this," he says as he grabbed the sword's hilt and flashed the angel his trademark grin. Dante retrieves Rebellion and boots the angel backward. It disappears in a flash of light before hitting the ground. An angel comes at Dante from the right. Dante blocks the swinging staff and cleaves the angel's chest, destroying it. Twirling the sword around his body, he takes out a second angel before it could strike. He then swings the broadside of Rebellion forward, batting his pistols toward a group of angels on the move. Dante shoots himself forward with Rebellion drawn back. Thrusting the weapon forward, he impales one of the angels. He releases the sword, catches his guns he had passed by and unloads a couple rounds to take out two more on either side of him. After leaning to one side, Dante axe kicks the hilt of Rebellion, flipping it out of one angel and into another. He quickly returns Ebony and Ivory to their holsters and recovers his sword. Just then, Dante hears what sounds like a trumpet belting out a battle cry.

Coldwater is not a part of the state you find me in very often. In fact, before last week, I had never actually been in Coldwater. I was totally flying blind when I got sent that way for a job assignment and had no idea where I was going to go for lunch. I didn't have time to scout anything out, so Google was going to have to save me.
Turns out, Google didn't have to. One of the people I met on this assignment recommended a place unsolicited. I figured she was familiar with the area and the place she pointed me towards was right around the corner so why the heck not?
The Broadway Grille is on Monroe Street in downtown Coldwater just to the south of U.S 12 (or W. Chicago Street) which is the main thoroughfare through town.
This location is one of three Broadway Grille's in the area and it's the newest. The original is on Broadway Street in Union City with the other on Michigan Avenue in Marshall. This paragraph is kind of important to the story. You'll see why in a second (if you haven't already figured it out).
I ended up spending a lot longer in Coldwater than I had initially planned, so I took my lunch break while I was waiting around. I looked up the bar that was recommended to me and found a Facebook page. From the facebook page, it took me to a menu page on their website.
When the restaurant was described to me, the one thing that was brought up was the bar which was topped with pennies. I saw this one the Facebook page and didn't even bother to check the location. In my haste to get food ordered, I just assumed it was the right bar and didn't realize there were three locations.
I called the number on the menu page and put in an order for Scott's BBQ Burger. I was told it would be about 15 minutes, so I gave it a few then walked around the corner to pick up my food.
When I walked in to the bar and told them I had a carry-out, they looked a little confused. You see where this is going.
Turns out, I called the Marshall location. They had a burger waiting for me there, but the Coldwater location didn't. The owner was standing right there was very nice about the whole thing. Turns out, there is very little information on the Coldwater location on the web including their website and Facebook page. The location has only been open a couple of months and their IT guy hasn't done any updating yet. They offered to make me another burger if I didn't mind waiting. I didn't and I actually felt bad because that was money coming out of their pocket to cover the burger sitting in Marshall.
I waited about another five minutes at the bar for my burger to be made fresh. They've got a really nice space in an old row building in downtown Coldwater. It's got a lot of the charm you would expect from such a place and the bar topped with thousands of pennies is actually pretty cool as well.
Once my burger was ready, one of the waitresses bagged it up for me and brought the bill. The cost of the sandwich was exactly $9.00. I tipped a lot more than I normally would just for the confusion I caused by not paying attention.
I grabbed my sandwich and headed back to my car to eat. I was waiting on something that I really couldn't miss, so I didn't want to spend too much time away.
I started in with the burger. The sandwich, called Scott's BBQ Burger, is an Angus beef patty topped with BBQ sauce, American cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and haystack onions. I had them leave the haystack onions off although I normally don't do that for picture purposes for this blog, but I did this time without thinking, so that's why the picture doesn't reflect that.
The burger was actually quite tasty and I'm convinced it would have tasted delicious without the BBQ sauce. The BBQ sauce was good…it's just that the burger meat had that fresh, juicy taste to it and that's what I really like in a burger. As it was, the sandwich was delicious with just enough of the sweet BBQ sauce to hold the crispy pieces of bacon on to the melted American cheese.
Other than the little set-back, which was totally my fault, I very much enjoyed the Broadway Grille. It's the kind of spot I could see hanging out at and always getting a delicious meal. With three locations in the area, you know they're doing something right.

'As Told By Ginger' Might Be Coming Back To Nickelodeon
BY Olivia Harrison
Have you heard the rumors? Supposedly, As Told By Ginger is coming back to Nickelodeon in 2017. In the late '90s and early 2000s, I lived and breathed Nicktoons, and As Told By Ginger was a super important one. My older sister and I tuned in every Sunday evening to watch Ginger and her friends navigate the very tough world of middle school. I was still in elementary school at the time, but Ginger gave me a glimpse into a world that I would soon enter and warned me of the challenges ahead. And thank god she did because I faced them all from begging my mom to let me shave my legs (AKA my fizzy lizzies — a term my sister and I still use regularly today) to drama with the popular blonde girls who I desperately wanted to be friends with. I had long, unrequited crushes and struggled to cling to my childhood while my friends seemed to easily move into young adulthood (See Macie as Little Seal Girl).
I'm so glad that Ginger might be coming back to Nickelodeon universe because so few shows are honest about how EFFING HARD middle school and early high school are for girls. Best friends fight and grow apart, people make up rumors about you and talk about you behind your back, and even you can easily slip into the role of mean girl. The show also tackled even more serious issues like depression, socioeconomic status, and death, which is pretty uncommon for a cartoon. I am still eternally greatful to Ginger, Dodie, and Macie for giving me a heads up of what was to come and for showing that I wasn't alone, and I would surely survive. I'm hopeful that girls in 2017 will get the same from Ginger and her gang of gal pals.
According to MoviePilot, Nickelodeon is working with the show's original creator Emily Kapnek and the production team behind hit Nick shows like Rugrats, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, and The Wild Thornberrys. This is all yet to be confirmed, but it's an exciting prospect. MoviePilot also wrote that the new As Told By Ginger will continue from where the original show dropped off in season 3 but will be alterned slightly for Nickelodeon's current audience. Until we know if this is for real, you can find me watching reruns of Ginger on YouTube and praising my gods that I got out of middle school alive.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. speaks at a rally for Missouri Democratic Senate candidate, Secretary of State Jason Kander, in Kansas City, Mo., on Oct. 14, 2016.
Elizabeth Warren has a surprising message for President-elect Donald Trump: She's eager to work with him.
The progressive heavy on Tuesday made an impassioned, if qualified, offer to cooperate on a populist agenda with the incoming Republican—a man with whom she spent the duration of the campaign trading vicious barbs. Warren, in an address to the AFL-CIO Executive Council, framed Trump's victory as a demand by voters for a fundamental shakeup of the economic and political status quo. And she said to the extent the next president wants to crack down on Wall Street, reform campaign finance, rethink trade deals and invest in infrastructure projects, she stands ready to help.
That a figure who stands to play a leading role in the Democratic rebuilding project would reach out so forthrightly to the man who just vanquished her party's nominee points to how unsettled things remain in the wake of Trump's win. The vagueness of Trump's policy program—not to mention his strained relations with leaders in his own party—presents opportunities to remake old alignments. It will be up to Trump to decide how he navigates a system he just shook to its core.


Long-term solution for transportation funding is still needed. U.S. roads, bridges and highway infrastructure are in great need of repair. As we await a solution, the infrastructure continues to crumble all around us. This will a start a wave of negative impact, beginning with transporting carriers, back to the manufacturers and eventually drowning customers in an unstable product market and transportation costs.
After the MAP 21 Transportation Spending Bill expired in July of 2012, there continued to be short term extensions made rather than a long-term solution. A five-month extension, H.R.3038—Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2015, Part II—was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives. It will give lawmakers until December 18th of this year to combine their efforts and determine a long-term solution. Will there be another extension? Reflecting on what has transpired since 2012, most likely. As of now, this bill is seen as an opportunity to continue with current road construction projects through the end of 2015.
The bottom line is we need approved funding immediately to meet the needs of our transportation infrastructure while continuing to ensure that the shipping public is not negatively impacted by the lack of a long-term solution. In a market of constant changes, there is no need to be overwhelmed with overbilling on your transportation invoices. AMTR can ensure you are being billed only for the services you receive.
As the current short-term extension for Transportation Funding is set to expire on July 31st, more opinions and oppositions are being brought forward as the Senate continues to try and beat the clock. Last week the House of Representatives passed H.R.3038, a 5-month short term spending bill that would give lawmakers until December to develop a long-term solution. Meanwhile, in the Senate, approval of their own multi-year transportation bill, S.1732 has been granted.
Developing this week is a claim by Senate majority Leader Mitch McConnell stated that he is on the verge of clinching a long-term transportation agreement with a top Democrat – Senator Barbara Boxer. Other than the Senator's remarks, no further details have been released about the potential long-term bill.
The opinions of other Senate members range from approval of yet another short term extension to allow for more time to determine the source of funds for transportation spending; to a three year extension, carrying a solution through 2018; while others still tend to believe that there should be nothing short of a long-term solution of six years.
While everyone grapples with the length of the extension and the source for funding of transportation spending, the fact still remains that our transportation infrastructure is crumbling and time is running out.
Many could see this as positive progress in finding a long-term solution to the expiring transportation funding bill. It is believed that likely the short term 5-month extension bill while hammering out the details of this new proposed bill.
The morning after debuting a six-year bill to reauthorize surface transportation programs for infrastructure investment and safety, the Senate has voted to allow talks to begin on this new bill. It will be a battle as many believe there is just not enough time to beat the looming July 31st deadline in which the current extension is set to expire. Many have resigned to the fact that the best plan now is to vote in a short term extension and use the time to hash out details and come to compromises on different aspects of the proposed bill.
Now Amendments will begin to filter in as lawmakers take the time to read through the massive bill. The main concern is the manner in which the funding for the Highway Truck Fund will be made available. Raise taxes? Cut Spending? Whatever course is agreed upon, the time to develop a solution is now.
The Senate has passed a long-term transportation bill. The deadline of 7/31/2015 has been met with the longer term transportation bill by the Senate and a short term transportation bill by the House – allowing government's authority to process highway and transit aid payment to states through October 29 of this year. However, House lawmakers have already recessed for their August break. The bill will go up for consideration during the fall session.
As many are not in agreement with yet another extension, the looming deadline and already-recessed lawmakers don't leave much wiggle room. This will be the 34th extension since 2009. At this point, the Senate isn't left with many options as most can agree that they do not want to see transportation funding stop until the House is back and session and an agreement is made on a long term transportation bill.
Positive progress has been made today with the passing of this bill by the Senate. Positive progress is good, but a long term transportation bill is still in immediate need. As many bills are coming to an expiration, it may take longer than expected for the transportation bill to be addressed by the Senate.

Yahoo Suitors Expected to Bid $2 Billion to $3 Billion, Below Past Indications
Most of previous bids for core business came in the range of $4 billion and $8 billion; bids are due first week of June
The bidding war for Yahoo officially got underway this week with rivals lobbing offers. Here's a look at some of the companies that are interested in the struggling Internet company. Photo: Reuters

Verizon Communications Inc. and others are expected to bid around $2 billion to $3 billion in the auction for Yahoo Inc.'s core business, less than what the troubled Internet pioneer was expected to fetch, according to people familiar with the matter.
The telecom giant is considered the front-runner in a field that includes private-equity buyers, some of whom are expected to bid in the low end of that range, the people said. As recently as April, people close to the process said Yahoo's core business would likely go for between $4 billion and $8 billion.

Q: Determine roots of a polynomial with variable exponent I need to know the nature of the roots of the equation $$ x(x+a)^b -1 = 0 $$ when changing a and b, where $ a,b  $ are natural numbers, I've looked around on the web but I was unable to find how to do it.

A: Here is another way, without the calculus, but still giving insight.
$x(x+a)^b-1$ is a polynomial with exactly $1$ sign change, so by Descartes' rule of signs, there is always exactly one positive root which clearly is in $(0, 1)$.
Let us now seek negative roots. With $y =x+a$, the polynomial is $(y-a)y^b-1 = y^{b+1}-ay^b-1$, so with only one sign change, we know there are no roots for $x \in (-a, 0)$.
Further setting $y \to -z$, we get $(-1)^{b+1}(z^{b+1}+az^b)-1$, which has no sign change if $b$ is even, and exactly $1$ sign change if $b$ is odd.
Putting it together, we have for even $b$ exactly one real root in $(0, 1)$ and for odd $b$, one root in $(0, 1)$ and another $< -a$.

A: Let $P_{a,b}=x(x+a)^b-1$.
If $a=0$ the problem is easily solved. So let $a\neq 0$.
$P'_{a,b}(x)=(x+a)^b+bx(x+a)^{b-1}=(x+a)^{b-1}((1+b)x+a)$
So, now we must make a couple of cases:

*

*if $b$ is odd, then $P'_{a,b}(x)>0\Longleftrightarrow x>-\frac{a}{1+b}\ $ so $P_{a,b}$ has at most $2$ real roots, depending on the sign of the global minimum $P_{a,b}\left(-\frac{a}{1+b}\right)=-\frac{a^{b+1}b^b}{(1+b)^{b+1}}-1<0$
So $P_{a,b}$ has exactly $2$ real roots if $b$ is odd.

*if $b$ is even, then $P'_{a,b}(x)>0\Longleftrightarrow x<-a\vee x>-\frac{a}{1+b}$; this tells us that $P_{a,b}$ has a local maximum in $x=-a$ and a local minimum in $x=-\frac{a}{1+b}$. Notice, though, that $P_{a,b}(-a)<0$. So there can be only one real root.

A: If $a=0$, there are trivially one or two real roots, depending on $b$ being even/odd.
Assume now that $a>0$ and $b$ is odd. $f(x)=x(x+a)^b$ has just two real roots, $x=0$ and $x=-a$. By computing $f'(x)$, it is easy to check that $f(x)$ has an absolute minimum $\xi\in(-a,0)$, $f(\xi)<0$, $f(x)$ is decreasing over $(-\infty,\xi)$ and increasing over $(\xi,+\infty)$, so $f(x)=1$ has just two real roots, one root close to zero and the other one close to $-a-1$.
In the same way we may check that if $a>0$ and $b$ is even, $f(x)=x(x+a)^b$ is non-positive over $\mathbb{R}^-$ and increasing over $\mathbb{R}^+$, so $f(x)=1$ in just one point, close to zero.

A: There is a new special and multivalued function called Lambert-Tsallis, where you can find details about at "Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 525, 164-170", or to get in contact with a friend and coworker R. V. Ramos.
The solution to your problem is given by
$x= \frac{a}{b}\cdot W_q( \frac{b}{a^{1+b}} )$ with $q= \frac{b-1}{b}$.
For the case where a and b are naturals, this solution:

*

*It will have $b+1$ solution.

*When $b$ is even, there is only one positive solution the other are complex (and is conjugate)

*When $b$ is odd, there will be two real solution with oposite signals and the others will appear in complex conjugated pairs.

One interesting solution arises when $a=b=1$ because $x$ will value  the negative of both golden numbers, because $W_0(1)$.

Good 'ole beef stew from France's Burgundy region. Easy enough for a family meal. Delicious enough for company dinners.
Stage One: Season the meat with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over high heat until it is almost smoking. Sear the meat a little at a time, removing it and setting it aside as it finishes. Add the onions to the pot. Lower the heat to medium high until the onions are soft and golden brown (about 10 minutes). Opt: Sprinkle the flour over them. Continue to cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the red wine. Scrape up all that really good fond from the bottom of the pot with your wooden spoon. Bring the wine to a boil.
Stage Two: Return the meat to the pot and add the carrots, garlic and bouquet garni.* Add just enough water (and two big spoons of demi-glace, if you have it) so that the liquid covers the meat by one-third -- a ratio of 3 parts liquid to 2 parts meat. You want plenty of liquid even after it cooks down and reduces. Bring to a boil, reduce to a gentle simmer, and let cook for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender (break-apart-with-a-fork tender).
Check it every 15 to 20 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot to make sure the meat is not sticking or scorching. Skim off any foam or scum or oil collecting on the surface, using a large spoon or ladle. When done, remove and discard the bouquet garni*, add the chopped parsley to the pot, and serve. Delicious as is or served with boiled or roasted potatoes/other root vegetables.
*bouquet garni: a tied bundle of herbs, usually thyme, bay leaf and parsley.

Q: window.onscroll css transformY transition flickering In my react project I want the navigation to hide when scrolling down and show when scrolling up. I am using window event listener for scroll which fires my toggleNavigation function and CSS transform: translateY and transition. The navigation flickers when scrolling up or down no matter if I use mouse wheel, keyboard arrows or drag scrollbar.
(There are some other conditions when to run toogleNavigation but they are not relevant.)
Navigation component
import React, { useEffect, useState } from "react";

export default Navigation = () => {
  const [prevScrollpos, setPrevScrollpos] = useState(window.pageYOffset);
  const [translateY, setTranslateY] = useState("0");

  const toggleNavigation = (prevScrollpos) => {
    const currentScrollpos = window.pageYOffset;
    if (currentScrollpos > prevScrollpos + 50) {
      //navigationHtml.style.top = '-116px'
      setTranslateY("-116px");
      setPrevScrollpos(currentScrollpos);
    } else if (currentScrollpos + 50 < prevScrollpos) {
      //navigationHtml.style.top = '0'
      setTranslateY("0");
      setPrevScrollpos(currentScrollpos);
    }
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    window.addEventListener(
      "scroll",
      toggleNavigation.bind(this, prevScrollpos)
    );
    return () => {
      window.removeEventListener("scroll", toggleNavigation);
    };
  }, [prevScrollpos]);
  return (
    <nav style={{ transform: `translateY(${translateY})` }}>

random text 1

random text 2

  );
};

CSS
nav {
  background-color: orangered;
  position: fixed;
  height: 120px;
  width: 100%;
  transition: transform 0.5s;
}
ul {
  list-style-type: none;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
}
li {
  margin: 20px;
}

Working codesandbox:
https://codesandbox.io/s/jolly-haze-flfjj?file=/src/Navigation.js
So far I've tried and did not work:
In react: changing the limit when to hide/show nav from 50 to 100 or 1
In CSS:

*

*changing translateY to translate3D

*using translate3D(0,0,0) on other elements

*setting backface-visibility: hidden on nav and other elements

Before I used changing top instead of translateY but the animation wasn't fluent and snappy, though it was without flickering.
I tested it in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Opera and the issue is present in all of them.
Any help would be much appreciated.

A: So I figured out the problem on my own. The issue was my bad designing in React. I shouldn't have used useState hook to track scrolling as it causes rerendering the component by design. The laggy behaviour was evident after a couple of scrolls. It took more scrolls on more performant PC (more component rerenders) to be laggy.
Now I track scrolling with a simple let variable and the navigation component rerenders only when it shows or hides.
Codesandbox:
https://codesandbox.io/s/condescending-minsky-00xi0?file=/src/Navigation.js

A: Nice to hear that it works fine.
But you could go further as computing thing on a scroll event is never really a good idea as it is triggered so many times. If you have other scroll events on your web page, it could become slow / laggy.
You could also add throttling to scroll event, using a custom Hook
Here is an example of a throttled scroll event Hook (SRR compatible):
    import { useEffect, useState } from "react"
    // You can use Lodash throttle function or aby other one, your own, whatever...
    import { throttle } from "lodash"

    function useDocumentScrollThrottled(callback) {
      const [, setScrollPosition] = useState(0)
      let previousScrollTop = 0

      function handleDocumentScroll() {
        const { scrollTop: currentScrollTop } =
          typeof window === "undefined" || !window.document
            ? 0
            : document.documentElement || document.body

        setScrollPosition(previousPosition => {
          previousScrollTop = previousPosition
          return currentScrollTop
        })

        callback({ previousScrollTop, currentScrollTop })
      }

      // => 250: 4fps / triggered times per seconds (250 is in milliseconds) || 16: 60fps (because 1000/60 = ~16)
      const handleDocumentScrollThrottled = throttle(handleDocumentScroll, 250)

      useEffect(() => {
        window.addEventListener("scroll", handleDocumentScrollThrottled)

        return () =>
          window.removeEventListener("scroll", handleDocumentScrollThrottled)
      }, [handleDocumentScrollThrottled])
    }

    export default useDocumentScrollThrottled

Then in your component (your Nav component by example) you can use it that way:
export default function Nav() {
      const MINIMUM_SCROLL = 30;
      const TIMEOUT_DELAY = 50;
      const [shouldHideNav, setShouldHideNav] = useState(false)  ;

      useDocumentScrollThrottled(({ previousScrollTop, currentScrollTop }) => {
        // Do whatever you want like by example
        const isScrolledDown = previousScrollTop < currentScrollTop;
        const isMinimumScrolled = currentScrollTop > MINIMUM_SCROLL;
        setTimeout(() => {
          setShouldHideNav(isScrolledDown && isMinimumScrolled)
        }, TIMEOUT_DELAY)
      })

      return (<nav className={`nav ${shouldHideNav ? 'nav--hidden' : ''}`}>Nav content)
}

The crew of the Prometheus is intent on taking down the world's clock towers so that time can run freely. Now captives, Colton, Daphne, and the others have a stark choice: join the Prometheus's cause, or fight back in any small way they can and face the consequences. But Zavier, leader of the terrorists, has a bigger plan—to bring back the lost god of time.As new threats emerge, loyalties must shift. No matter where the Prometheus goes—Prague, Austria, India—nowhere is safe, and every second ticks closer toward the eleventh hour. Walking the line between villainy and heroism, each will have to choose what's most important: saving those you love at the expense of the many, or making impossible sacrifices for the sake of a better world.
Dear Tara Sim, I hope that you have mercy with your readers feelings, please don't kill Colton or Danny or Daphne. And I also hope this book comes out tomorrow. Thank you.
I can't believe I have to wait an entire year for this.

Q: SequelizeEagerLoadingError in associated models I'm getting an issue when I add include in my query, and I can't figure out why. I have two models: User and Transaction
User
    module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
      var User = sequelize.define('User', {
        firstName: DataTypes.STRING,
        lastName: DataTypes.STRING,

      }, {});
      User.associate = function(models) {
        User.hasMany(models.Transaction, {
          foreignKey: 'senderId',
          as: 'sender',
        }),
        User.hasMany(models.Transaction, {
          foreignKey: 'receiverId',
          as: 'receiver',
        })
      };
      return User;
    };

Transaction
  module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
    var Transaction = sequelize.define('Transaction', {
      amount: DataTypes.INTEGER
    }, {});
    Transaction.associate = function(models) {

      Transaction.belongsTo(models.User, {
        foreignKey: 'receiverId'
      })
    };
    return Transaction;
  };

Both senderId and receiverId are available in db after migration.
Attempted query:
  Transaction
    .findAll({
      where: { senderId: req.params.userId },
      include: [{
        model: User,
        as: 'sender',
      },{
        model: User,
        as: 'receiver',
      }],
    })

Expected Result:
  {
    "transactions": [
      {
        "id": 2,
        "amount": 300,
        "sender": {
          "id": 2,
          "firstName": "John",
          "lastName": "Doe",

        }
      }
    ]
  }

But I'm getting the error: SequelizeEagerLoadingError
Is their something wrong with association or query?

A: You'll need to add an alias to one or both of those associations, currently they are overwriting eachother.
Something like:
module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
  var Transaction = sequelize.define('Transaction', {
    amount: DataTypes.INTEGER
  }, {});
  Transaction.associate = function(models) {
    Transaction.belongsTo(models.User, {
      as: 'sender',
      foreignKey: 'senderId'
    }),
    Transaction.belongsTo(models.User, {
      as: 'receiver',
      foreignKey: 'receiverId'
    })
  };
  return Transaction;
};

Mérida, 21st June 2013 (Venezuelanalysis.com) – Following the implementation of measures to tackle shortages in some basic food and household items, both private Venezuelan media and the government report that the level of shortages is now decreasing.
Shortages hit their highest level in five years in April, provoking a flurry of international media criticism of the government and affecting the popularity of president Nicolas Maduro in the lead-up to the 14 April election.
Economists and Venezuela's conservative opposition attribute the spike in shortages to the effects of government price controls and a lack of state-granted dollars given to companies for food imports and production.
Meanwhile, Maduro has blamed the private sector for engaging in an "economic war" against the government, causing scarcity through hoarding products and lowering production to hurt the government's popularity and destabilise the country.
The shortages experienced in recent months have not meant empty shelves or the absolute absence of basic products, but the relative scarcity of products such as cornmeal flour, cooking oil, toothpaste and toilet paper, meaning that consumers have to visit several shops to find such items or wait for a number of days for these products to appear in stores.
However, official sources and private Venezuelan media confirm that shortages are decreasing, with government strategies to overcome scarcity implemented since April beginning to take effect.
"We've been attacking this issue [of shortages] with force," said Land and Agriculture Minister Yvan Gil on Thursday in an interview with private TV channel Venevisión. "The population has begun to notice in this month and a half…how the distribution of products has begun to normalise".
The minister said that the government had formed a plan for the distribution of each of the 53 items that make up Venezuela's basic food basket, identifying problems with production, import or transport, and acting to deliver the sufficient supply of those products to stores.
Leading Venezuelan private newspaper Ultimas Noticias similarly reported today that "the supply of some products continues improving", while also mentioning that consumers continue to compulsively buy items considered to be in short supply.
Further, Venezuelanalysis.com journalists in Mérida and the capital Caracas have observed an improved supply of toiletry items and staples such as rice, pasta, milk and cooking oil in stores.
Imports arriving
On Wednesday, 65,000 tons of pasta and powdered milk arrived in Venezuela from Ecuador. The products will be distributed to the population at regulated prices through state-owned stores, announced Manuel Barroso, a government official.
"Despite the economic war that sectors of the right-wing are trying to promote, [the people] can have confidence that in Venezuela a responsible government exists that does what is necessary to distribute goods that the population needs", he said to state news agency AVN.
The deliveries are part of food import deals signed by the Maduro government with regional allies to overcome shortages. Authorities inform that more than 700,000 tons of food and basic household items will arrive in the country over the next six months.
The government is also introducing measures to raise national agricultural production such as direct investment in agriculture, removing income tax on primary agricultural production, introducing state subsidies for sugar production, and granting increased prices to sunflower oil producers.
Agriculture Minister Gil said in an interview on Thursday that under the Bolivarian government, national production of "almost all" agricultural goods had increased annually by 5-10%, but that in some areas this "is not enough" to meet rising consumption, requiring imports to cover the shortfall.
Addressing the backlog in dollar allocations
Meanwhile, the government is also addressing a backlog in the allocation of dollars to national importers and producers.
Currency controls have been in place in Venezuela since 2003 to prevent capital flight, with the official rate set at 6.3 bolivars to the dollar following the currency devaluation in February. Under the system, companies are allocated dollars by the government's exchange commission CADIVI for the import of foodstuffs, materials and machinery into the country.
Earlier this week the president of Venezuela's Central Bank (BCV), Armando Leon, confirmed that 100% of pending Cadivi dollar grants to small and medium companies had been processed.
He added that 70% of grants to larger companies had likewise been carried out, with priority given to food importers and producers.
In a telephone call with Bloomberg, the BCV president predicted that inflation, which spiked to 6.1% in May, would begin to decrease from June, and that the supply of foodstuffs and other goods in the economy would "normalise…in the next two months".
The BCV's scarcity index, which measures the national level of food shortages, dropped slightly from 21.3 in April to 20.6 in May.
Attacking speculation and hoarding
While trying to work with the private sector to overcome shortages, the government is taking a hard line against hoarding and price speculation, which it blames for worsening scarcity levels.
On Wednesday the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) announced it had seized seven tons of basic food products hidden in two houses and a truck, which were destined to be smuggled to Colombia or sold for above-market prices to consumers.
"With these actions we're striking hard against hoarding and speculation, at the same time as guaranteeing food security," said Coronel Fabio Zavarse Pabon to state channel VTV.
Meanwhile, on Thursday the state's consumer protection agency Indepabis was re-launched. The organisation monitors compliance with government price controls on basic foodstuffs in order to prevent price speculation or other abuses toward consumers. The price controls were implemented by the administration of Hugo Chavez to protect the population from inflation.
Indepabis' new strategy includes an increased focus on companies that import products using Cadivi-granted dollars, ensuring that they use those dollars for the specified reasons, such as food production, and that their products are priced according to the official dollar rate.
The aim is to combat the illicit activity of companies receiving government-issued dollars and then selling those dollars at the black market rate (currently around 30 bolivars per dollar) to make a profit, or pricing imported products as if the company had bought these products at the black market dollar rate, likewise for profit.
Commerce Minister Alejandro Fleming said in a press conference on Thursday that Indepabis and Cadivi would work together to ensure that state-granted foreign currency was used for productive ends and didn't fall into the hands of "parasites that swarm around it [dollar grants] and have turned it into a business".
A key component of this strategy is that stores will have to specify exactly which products they sell are imported with state-granted dollars, and price-mark these products with that information.
Indepabis is also to adopt former President Hugo Chavez's slogan "efficiency or nothing" by monitoring state companies as well as private ones, and better-incorporating grassroots "people's power" into its activities.
The re-launch of Indepabis comes after an alleged extortion ring was discovered operating within the state body on 9 June. President Maduro sacked the organisation's president and appointed former radical minister Eduardo Saman, who has since promised to price speculators that "the fun is over".

Here are Up Your Street seniors , 5 of the 7 in a workshop of 9. Not bad eh? We did it. We reclaimed the waves in a workshop based project under radio art at Tate Britain for seniors to build an installation from reactions to sounds in a built environment.
in a HOT CHURCH. Heaters were a-blazing on the evening of the first day of summer 2015. The place was packed. The concert was free.
Well I didn't catch one word, didn't even know what language they were singing in but boy, it was beautiful. The chorus is tight, the conductor is crazy energetic, the cellos stole the bass and I loved all the soloists. Music was soaring up to the rafters and under Jesus' armpits up on the gaudy crucifixion ceiling- hanger above the nave or whatever that front part of the church is called.
given by the All Saints Chorus and Orchestra, It was Handel's "Messiah". The musicians are celebrating their twentieth year.
The church near to Stratford was packed, brightly lit and welcoming. It's been renovated. It's still a cold hole. Which church is warm? Are mosques traditionally drafty?
Up Your Street seniors in the actual chorus line-up.
I saw the ever-common sight now of lady tenors dressed in braces and boots. I loved all the voices and am always mesmerised by counter-tenors. Today we had Paul Kusel-Baum.
What a fabulous one-off event. Twas brillig. Thank you for our tickets.
Bach and Mozart today Palm Sunday at St John at Jerusalem in Hackney. I know that church has powerful wall-heaters. We've put our clocks forward but I don't feel the comforting breath of summer yet.

This Sunday, 2.30 pm (British Summer Time because the clocks will have changed), is the repeat of the walk from the churchyard of St Mary's Church, Church Road, Leyton E10 5JP. This will pass the homes of a few people commemorated in the churchyard, most of them casualties of the First World War, and return to the churchyard about 2 hours later. We will look at the churchyard and then start along Rosedene Terrace. Firm surfaces with plenty of streets to cross. Bus routes 58 and 158 pass the church, and Leyton High Road with routes 69 and 97 is only a few minutes walk away. There are convenience shops on the High Road.

The walk will start at 5.30pm by the red sculpture in the courtyard of Central Saint Giles, 1 Saint Giles high Street, London, WC2H 8AG and end by 8.30pm near Great Russell Street.
Maximum 2 places per email.
Wed 8th Apr free 11-1pm Soapbox discussion group for seniors at Tate Britain. With tea and posh biscuits.
Public Wisdom means let's all know it.
The problem is that you're too white.
The problem is that you're too middle-class.
The thing is that you need to define the words "arts" and "art".
Cubitt Education put on a mammoth day of speakers. entertainment and free food to promote arts in the built urban environment and how those art programmes or projects do any good for impoverished, inarticulate, lonely, depressed and isolated old people often in residential homes, high rise flats, badly designed places. Evidence has it that those post-retirement age people think they're invisible to the rest of the world.
Let's not have an image of a victim in our heads. eh?
Today started on the premise that many older people feel isolated and invisible because the built environment is not old-age friendly so going out is a challenge. We even explored the plight of the older generation in Japan.
But hey! Many seniors don't feel they were kicked onto any scrapheap. I can't speak for the Japanese.
There's a familiar notion here that like nursery managers perceiving their clients, parents are the inadequates, so older people are seen in that way too. Older people who have worked, shaped society, raised families on tuppence and shivered in gas metered rooms. Give them some arts experience and they'll get better. Give them a reason to cuddle their concrete environment and they'll feel they are part of the local neighbourhood. I am not convinced at all. I know some others at Conway Hall felt the same.
So on stage we had practitioners in the arts, artists, ethnologists, carer managers, project managers, recipients of fat Lottery and Heritage Lottery money and they all talked or acted out like there were no people in the audience, the white sea, who went along as Jill Public to the showcased social engagement projects. We clients were not surprised at the amount of strange art/arts projects all filmed and then lo and behold the next step becomes typically the setting up of an internet radio station. Have you , reader, heard any of those?
The audience included arts practitioners, artists, project managers and researchers. How do I know? Up Your Street subscribers dip into many projects and clock who's running them. We eat sleep and wake up to oral history under the heritage banner , do interviews, get filmed and talk on the radio shows. We always evaluate gloriously so that others get a chance to experience the temporary uplifting experience before moving on to the next idea generated by youngsters around sugar paper and brainstorming tables.
Lately we project prawns have been saturated with arts adventures then forgotten. We enter worlds of another language, think we're being valued, dabble in technology and modernity then after the last session we are expendable.
So the best question from the floor was "What is the legacy of the art projects for the communities they've engaged?" And that question came from a trustee of the organisation working with Cubitt Education. Could have been staged.
Another great airing from the floor was that communities are created to keep people in and others out.
All my eddicashun was coming from the floor, Gradgrind.
Now the day was extremely well organised thanks to the detail magnifying Daniel. Charlene on the door was the best thing there with an efficient manner and a warm greeting.
Jezza's on whereas my head is still trying to come to terms with my irritation of the content today Arts practitioners have a vested interest in perpetuating arts wherever and grabbing a target audience. I appreciate that: Business is business. I hate all the assumptions including the one that older people are chintzy (sic) and that white English shove their grannies into old people's homes. Heard that last one many times and been offended by the sweeping statements.


Thursday was the school Spring Concert at Max's school. He had great success at the last one, and I'd heard through the teacher grapevine he was doing well at rehearsals. The theme: oldie songs.
This was Max's debut at the keyboard. At the last concert, some kids in his class had played; my inner stage-mom came out and I thought, Max could do that! Most of all, I thought it would be good for him both in terms of fine-motor skills and boosting his confidence. So I asked if he could join the keyboard club, and he's been loving it.
At the concert, first Max played a scale and then, he played that famous rock 'n roll song Hot Cross Buns. His dexterity is getting so much better; two years ago at this time, he wouldn't have been able to isolate his pointer finger to play the keys.
It was maybe my most favorite performance ever, coming in just above every Springsteen concert I've seen. Max kept shaking his head at me because he was embarrassed that I was taping him.
After his stellar performance Max was mobbed by girls screaming for his autograph. Oh, OK, it was just me squealing... and Max shaking his head at me to stop.
Later on, Max's class performed Stop! In the Name of Love and Proud Mary. Max was happy but so overwhelmed by the big crowd that he forgot to actually sing or do the hand motions. Me, I started pointing my finger to my head when "Think it over" came on and placing my hand over my heart for "In the name of love,"which Max thought was really funny.
When he was done, he ran right into my arms. And I did my best not to lose it from the happiness.
So exciting and I LOVE his proud smile! Way to go Max!
Ok how did it post 3 times? anyway when i said tolerate the motions i meant tolerate the concert.
Love it. My son is just starting to get less hesitant on stage. Usually it makes him feel pretty uncomfortable.
Love the idea of a keyboard club. Have to mention that to some OT's!


I think we need Distin back.
Free header for Heitinga there.
I personally this Heitinga's overrated and nought to do with today.
Anyone got a good stream to stop me going nuts here?
Our defence has been so poor this season.
It's his 6th or 7th "annual" howler of the season so far. Wonder if we'll still be hearing he is one of the best in the division or better than Reina and Cech after this game.
Hetinga has been shocking too. We might need 4 or 5 to win thi.

Communities of practice: Learning together to teach together
Conference Location: Armagh City Hotel
The 2016 Annual SCoTENS Conference theme is intended to facilitate an open and engaging exploration of the value of collaborative learning to support teachers' professional practice. The Conference will draw upon the expertise of the key learning theorist Etienne Wenger whose scholarship on learning and particularly his concepts of 'communities of practice' and 'boundary' have enriched our understanding of how we learn and how we teach. Wenger reminds us that we all participate in multiple communities of practice and how this multi-membership often involves crossing boundaries and negotiating meaning with others outside our immediate CoP. Boundary, he suggests, is not only for outsiders, it keeps insiders in but in weaving and crossing boundaries we extend the possibilities for action and mutual engagement. SCOTENS 2016 offers us a chance to reflect on the important communities of practice of which we are a part and how we can continue to collaborate to extend and enrich our professional practices. Keynote addresses on the conference theme of learning together to teach together are designed to invite delegates to collaborate and talk about their practices. Workshops are built around cross-border partnerships and will seek to develop our understanding of collaborative professional learning. We look forward to welcoming you to our conference and hearing what you have to say.

Q: Growisofs renaming files I was trying to copy several files to a dvd with growisofs. The command I use it is:
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J  /media/34GB/tmp/

But when I send it to command line, I receive this message

I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings)

and then countless messages like these for many of my files.

Using F1_SC000.JPG;1 for  /media/34GB/tmp/imagens/paper doll ultimos/F1-SCAN1194.JPG (F1-SCAN1189.JPG)

How can I avoid these renaming?
I made a full record, and to my surprise, the final file names are correct, despite the renaming messages. Why these messages appeared then?

A: It is talking about the underlying ISO 9660 format, which is limited to names like F1_SC000.JPG;1. You see the "proper" name when mounted because you are using an extension, either TRANS.TBL, Rock Ridge, or Joliet.

Celebrity Cruises Consumer Review February 4, 2018
Passenger Complaint: Celebrity Cruises Consumer Review February 4, 2018 – "The itinerary on Celebrity Infinity was excellent: Buenos Aires to Ushuaia to Cape Horn to Antarctica to Port Stanley, Falkland, to Puerto Madryn to Montevideo and back to Buenos Aires. The only issue with it was the first [boring] 3 days at sea, but we skipped them by flying to Ushuaia directly. (Yet, Celebrity, of course, not only issues no refund for those 3 days, but charges a fee to allow you to embark in a different port. The funny part of that was a call from them on the day of the departure with a question of why we are not on the ship. Despite the fee charged, they did not bother to communicate our embarkation exclusion to the vessel!)
There's more. Unfortunately, a week before sailing, Celebrity sent an email that they have a problem with the ship's propulsion system, as such they won't have sufficient speed and will have to cancel our visit to Puerto Madryn. It was very bad news, but at least they promised to refund one day as an excuse; not a fair exchange of course but something. (Later on the ship, during our Inside Access Tour, we of course asked in the mechanical room what the problem they have with the propulsion system, but the crew politely did not give an answer.)
The worst part came later. They suddenly cancelled Port Stanley as well. This time it was "for safety reasons", saying that the weather is too bad there, that it's a strong wind of 55-80 kph and getting to the shores is not possible. Alas, there is a big problem with this statement. First of all, the crew already knew and many people told us two days before that we won't go to Port Stanley; that's before there was any reliable weather information. Also, our sailing through Drake Passage was extremely smooth. We were really lucky with the weather! Then at 5 AM on the morning we were supposed to sail to Port Stanley I checked the weather there and it was… sunny with 50 kph wind indeed but also CALMING to 25 kph during the day. Nonetheless, "for our safety" we did not go there.
Of course, people attacked all officers with tons of questions. The main one being why not visit Puerto Madryn or another port in Argentina instead. We got no answer. I also had an opportunity to ask the captain personally on the real reason for skipping Stanley. The answer was, "I'm the captain, I know better." So, it looks like Celebrity Infinity either has a big technical problem with the vessel (and then it's a real safety issue!) or saves money on port fees, etc., maximizing their profits. Either way, my advice is to never use this company. They have no respect for their customers, easily ruining vacations for 2000+ people."

Monthly Art & Justice tours of the Constitutional Court Art Collection have resumed
The Constitutional Court Trust, custodian of the Constitutional Court Art Collection (CCAC), is happy to announce that its monthly Art & Justice tours have resumed following a period of intensive maintenance work on the Constitutional Court building.
Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting the Constitutional Court. If one were going only to see the art, it would be worth the trip. If one were going only to see the Court, it would be worth the trip. But seeing both, and learning how meticulously the two have been melded together to reflect the values embedded in the South African Constitution was, quite simply, extraordinary and moving. No visitor to Johannesburg should miss this experience.
– Arnie Kanter, acclaimed U.S. based lawyer and consultant
…it is the most vibrant collection I have seen in any courthouse in the world.
– Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States
[Our] students were taken on a behind-the-scenes curatorial tour of the Constitutional Court, which preserves the 'architecture of brutality' and, at the same time, aspires towards South Africa's rebuilding on a stronger democratic foundation through adaptive reuse. They were able to develop a greater understanding of identity politics, social justice, and human rights through art.

Dear Father, I believe that Jesus Christ died on that cross to take away all of my hurt and sins. God raised Jesus from the dead on the third day. In the name of Jesus I transfer all of my hurt and sins to you Jesus, because you understand my pain from all the times I have been betrayed, rejected, physically/sexually/mentally or verbally abused, mocked, humiliated and abandoned. I hand to you Jesus all the people who hurt me because they know not what they do. I also release all of the negativity inside of me, to be transmuted in the light of God. All the anger, hatred, bitterness and resentments that are inside of me. All the debts that they owe me I give it to you Lord. These people owe me nothing because I forgive them totally, and as I forgive them Lord please forgive me for all of the things I have done.
I know that pride is an abomination to you, I renounce pride, rebellion, disobedience, stubbornness, selfishness, doing things my way, relying on my logic and strength, not admitting when I'm wrong, blaming you God for things that happened to me and complaining. I humble myself just like a little child and ask for your forgiveness, deliverance, healing and protection in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
