The Best Gigs of 2017
It's finally here: no, not Christmas, list season BAYBEE! A culmination of all the good, and bad, that the year has had to offer, we're kicking things off with some positive content about the live shows that the team loved every second of.
Before we get into each team member's choice, let's have a glance at some of the honourable mentions that deserve a shoutout…
The Vegan Leather @ TRNSMT
At a festival with some of the biggest names in music, it goes to show how utterly impressive this Paisley art-rock outfit were at the debut entry of TRNSMT. "Talking Heads meets Yeah Yeah Yeahs meet LCD-Soundsystem" is the only way we managed to describe their sound yet that still doesn't do The Vegan Leather justice: if you're lucky enough to have New Years free from work then be sure to boogie on down to see this foursome kill it at King Tuts.

SWAY @ Tenement Trail

If our accolade of "Best Band At Tenement Trail 2017", a prestigious award depending on who you ask, wasn't enough to do SWAY's performance at Nice N Sleazy justice then let this be your final telling off. Presenting a beautiful blend of indie rock finesse with shoegaze and pop influences, the Paisley act put on an amazing show featuring great tunes, inflatable footballs and a bloody nose (#PrayForDanDrennan).
Wolf Alice @ Barrowlands

Hot off the back of providing one of the best sophomore releases of the decade, lovely London lot Wolf Alice treated their Glasgow fans to not one but two shows at the iconic Barrowlands venue. Playing a healthy dose of the old and the new, along with some golden oldies like Blush, the indie rock outfit show that they deserve every morsel of hype they've accumulated over the past few years.
And now, onto the team's top picks…
Isabella McHardy (@isabellamchardy) – Strange Bones @ TRNSMT
I hadn't heard of them before but a friend suggested we go see Strange Bones – it was by far my favourite performance of the festival and ultimately the entire year. They played the tiny Jack Daniel's Jack Rocks tent on the Sunday and it was perfect. They played with such an infectious energy, I couldn't stop smiling the whole set.
The entire tent was jumping up and down and yelling even if they didn't know the words. They were probably one of the heaviest bands at the festival but they still managed to pull in such an enthusiastic crowd. The band were crowd surfing and running into the audience throughout the show but no one got tired of it. It was the first gig I had been to in a while where I felt completely ecstatic. After their set, I couldn't wait to get home so I could go through their discography.
Disappointingly, their EP's don't live up to how they perform live, but I would still go see them again just for the atmosphere and the 'Theresa is a Terrorist' t-shirts.
Callum Thornhill (@calthornhill) – Sorority Noise, Turnover & Citizen @ Camden Underworld
They say good things come in threes. Wise men. Amigos. So on and so forth. For this ridiculously intimate show; it was American emo icons that arrived as a magnificent trio. Heading to Camden's Underworld via stunning performances at this year's Slam Dunk Festival came Citizen and Turnover; 'supported' by Sorority Noise.
What made this an incredible line-up was the enthusiasm shared by bands towards other bands, fans to bands and even bands to fans. Splitting the set times evenly, no band took the limelight, however, Sorority Noise were first up to get things going. With third LP, You're Not as _____ as You Think released earlier this year, it was the first time many fans had heard tracks such as Car and No Halo; Cameron Boucher even recited Manchester Orchestra's I Can Feel a Hot One ahead of No Halo. These new, heartfelt ballads combined with golden older tracks, e.g Nolsey and Using, made Sorority Noise the perfect opener.
Turnover were next up and thankfully, and I am sure fellow fans will agree, they decided to play a set full of classics rather than cramming their set full of Good Nature tracks. Peripheral Vision dominated the setlist with the crowd singing along to everything from Cutting My Fingers Off to the iconic Dizzy on the Comedown. A mellow atmosphere greeted the Virginia outfit, who took it in their stride to engage in a chilled out yet passionate vibe.
'Headlining' for the evening were Ohio/Michigan alt-rockers Citizen. Brutally belting out The Summer instantly showed what was about to unfold. The highlight of the set was How Does it Feel? purely because the dark, moody atmosphere perfectly complemented the pitch black surrounding of the Underworld. Giving Yellow Love and Cement air-time before The Night I Drove Alone closed their slot, Citizen gave a stunning performance to cap off an amazing night of bands from across the pond.
To conclude, good things do come in threes, and this line-up does nothing but emphasise that fact.
Ethan Woodford (@human_dis4ster) – Gorillaz @ Hydro, Glasgow
In a year where I finally saw some of my all-time favourite bands (Radiohead, The Libertines) as well as seeing some old friends again (Wolf Alice, Basement), every gig stuck out in my mind but none more so than the Gorillaz's massive show at the Hydro.
Having been desperate to see them for years, it was such a joy to hear some of my favourite songs sung back by thousands of people in unison. Damon Albarn was in top form, a massive smile barely leaving his face except when he was stood at the edge of the stage trying to look menacing during Clint Eastwood. It's commendable a man of his talent and success is still so humbled by fans singing his lyrics and his constant gratitude to his many guests and backing band members made for a wholesome sight.
Speaking of his guests, they only added to the spectacle, from De La Soul to the show-stealing Vince Staples, each guest injected even more energy to the atmosphere and by midway through the set, the entire crowd was bouncing,
A truly mesmerising gig that had me smiling for the rest of the night after, Damon Albarn and his friends deserve the crown of best live show of the year.
Ryan Martin (@ryanmartin182) – Childish Gambino @ Radio City Music Hall

Seeing Childish Gambino co-headline an event at Radio City Music Hall with Dave Chappelle was truly something special but after his announcement earlier this summer that he would be retiring after his next album, it truly made the concert something to be cherished forever.
Being a massive Donald Glover fan, I had never seen him perform live as Childish Gambino except for a small radio show festival performance where he only did his biggest hits before exiting. Gambino at Radio City Music Hall exceeded my expectations from the multi-talented performer. He performed the majority of his new album Awaken My Love with the help of a full band, backup singers, and an incredible display of lights and visuals.
Hearing AML live without the vocal effects made for an entirely new experience of the album. The album sounded fresher, more exciting and more fun live. Gambino's performance was incredible, filled with passionate shrieks reminiscent of Prince in his prime. He showcased his dancing skills throughout the set and was all over the stage, even moonwalking at one point.
Gambino's decision to perform most of AML with exception to 3005, Sweatpants and Sober really showed how much Gambino has matured in recent memory and how he is beginning to grow out of most of his discography. This could be a partial reason for his decision to retire the Childish Gambino moniker and will almost surely affect his future touring schedule. One thing is for sure, if Gambino stops by your area, be sure not to miss out.
Andrew Barr (@weeandreww) – Frank Ocean @ Parklife

Here lies the critical irony; my favourite show of the year, Frank Ocean's surreal headline slot at Parklife festival could scarcely be considered a performance, serving as more of a glimpse into the elusive star's psyche.
When Ocean stuttered onto the stage 40 minutes late and restarted opener Solo 3 times, it looked like his long-awaited live return could end in spectacular failure, however, Ocean managed to claw it back in a way only he could. His confidence and stage presence grew throughout the set dominated by Blonde and Endless material, and by the time he walked offstage during the Korean verse on the alt version of closer Nikes, it was clear; this wasn't a show for everyone, but one that the many diehard Ocean fans will never forget.
Liam Menzies (@blnkclyr) – Run The Jewels & Danny Brown @ O2 Academy
Photo Courtesy of Ryan Johnston | Facebook | Site
It shouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone that this gig was a highly anticipated one for myself: Run The Jewels and Danny Brown are both Album Of The Year winners, in our 2014 and 2016 lists respectively, so the prospect of seeing both acts in the one night was too good to pass up.
It was no disappointment (I mean, it's on this list, isn't it?) as the Detroit king of rap Danny got things underway, storming through his impressive discography with some running man dancing and what can only be described as an intimate strip show for the thousands in attendance. Tracks from his magnum opus Atrocity Exhibition got just the reaction he must have expected, provoking a wave of moshing and rapping from the enthusiastic crowd.
Not to be outdone, RTJ made their way to the stage (albeit a bit late) and from start to finish, they undoubtedly affirmed why they were a force to be reckoned with. Not only that but there was a great deal of duality on show: Killer Mike is an absolute monster when he's on the mic but the amount of compassion and love shown between songs, from a speech about mental health to a big fuck you to groping at gigs, the man is like Sully if he had an abundance of sick bars. Don't worry El, I haven't forgotten about you; RTJ is a two man show after all and if it weren't for the bounciness, crassness and sheer bragadociousness of El-P then it just wouldn't be the same.
Danny even showed up for his verse on Hey Kids, wearing only his underwear as the O2 Academy witnessed not only Mike giving the audience a glimpse of his ass, but two of the best acts on the fucking planet: and the crowd goes…
Jake Cordiner (@jjjjaketh) – Gorillaz @ Hydro, Glasgow
While I was ever so slightly underwhelmed by Damon Albarn and his band of merry primates' latest effort Humanz (DO YOU GET IT BECAUSE GORILLAZ?) I still jumped at the chance to see them live at The Hydro when the gig was announced earlier and the year. And I'll tell you something, I'm bloody glad I did.
Gorillaz live are a different beast entirely from Gorillaz on record. There's something of a more immediate urgency about them in a live setting, particularly in the vocals of head gorilla Damon "I Love Witches" Albarn. I've never seen Blur live in person, but I've seen my fair share of their sets from the comfort of my own computer chair and Albarn seems to turn everything up to 11 when he's performing under the Gorillaz banner. Gone is the subdued, mild-mannered, middle-class Englishman that belts out Tender with a quiet confidence, instead he's replaced by a grown man doing his best impression of an actual Gorilla. To put it bluntly, when Damon Albarn is in Gorillaz mode, he is a fucking nutter. He jumps around the stage with a reckless abandon, screaming in innocent concert goers in the front row like a man possessed by a pure primal force. It's a joy to watch.
As are the rest of his band, I was blown away by how flipping CHUNKY everything sounded in a live setting. The bass was lovely and sludgy, both drummers played flawlessly and the keys were whimsical one moment and downright demonic the next. Then came the guests: Bootie Brown, Zebra Katz, Vince Staples, DE LA BLOODY SOUL were all there in the flesh and it was chuffing magnificent.
I'd wanted to see Gorillaz in some capacity for over a decade, and holy fuck me did they deliver. This ranks as not only one of my gigs of the year but genuinely one of the best gigs I've ever been to. So thank you, Damon and company, you bunch of fucking lunatics. We wouldn't have you any other way.
Rory McArthur (@rorymeep) – King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard @ Albert Hall, Manchester
If you know me, this choice won't come as a surprise; I may or may not have a little bit of a thing for this band. This was my fourth time seeing King Gizzard, but this was the first time it properly hit me how unfathomably incredible they are live. From the tried and trusted old favourites to the, at that point in the year at least, new microtonal tracks, everything went down an absolute storm with a suitably energetic crowd. The electricity inside the Albert Hall that evening was honestly breathtaking. I don't think there's another rock band in the world right now that can put on a show quite like Gizz. If they'd have decided to play all night long, I wouldn't have minded one bit.
Kieran Cannon (@kiercannon) – Protomartyr & Oh Boland @ CCA, Glasgow
Protomartyr's third visit to Glasgow in as many years takes place at Sauchiehall Street's pre-eminent creative hub, the Centre for Contemporary Arts. Incidentally, this occasion marks their first time playing above ground in the city; apt, considering their meteoric rise from the underground to the forefront of contemporary post-punk, a sort of symbolism that isn't lost on despair extraordinaire Joe Casey.
Joking that it's a sign they're finally moving up in the world, his self-depreciating humour is disingenuous to their cerebral yet deeply enjoyable brand of music. Turning up on stage without further ado, the band launch straight into lead single My Children. Casey's appearance, grey-suited and formal, carries as little extravagance as his vocal delivery: barking and authoritative, the right level of Angry Da but never unintentionally bombastic.
Audience interaction is sporadic and generally kept to a minimum, save for a few amusing exchanges; however, such was the level of quality and electrifying atmosphere that the crowd quickly began dancing of their own volition. In contrast to the chaos of Casey's performance, Greg Ahee's guitar work is a controlled explosion of riffs and inventive, often unexpected chord changes complemented by a captivating dynamic between himself, bassist Scott Davidson and drummer Alex Leonard, whose stellar percussion work underpins every track, relentlessly propelling forward. While leaning fairly heavily on their latest material, Protomartyr nevertheless treated veteran fans to plenty of classics including two tracks from their oft-overlooked debut.
Support act Oh Boland, covering the spot regrettably vacated by Sauna Youth, proved a worthy opener, commendably navigating one or two technical glitches to produce exactly the kind of high-octane introduction needed to prepare everyone for what lay ahead.
Gregor Farquharson (@grgratlntc) – The LaFontaines & The Dykeenies @ Barrowlands
Having a gig at The Barrowlands is a massive achievement for any band. Tonight, The LaFontaines were ready to unleash their chaotic, charisma filled live show to the sold-out Glasgow crowd. The buzz in the buildup to the performance was surreal, with fans everywhere eager to see the fonts once again.
The band tasked with getting the crowd ready? The recently reformed The Dykeenies. The band played a good 50 odd minute set, with highlights being Waiting for Go and Sounds Of The City. The fans were ready and The Dykeenies job was done with success and the fonts took to the stage.
Opening up with Slow Elvis and going straight into Junior Dragon, the atmosphere was something else. The bands unique sound works beautifully live and the feeling in the crowd was magical. New songs Common Problem and Hang Fire went down great with the crowd, proving the band are not just a one album wonder and that their second full length is doing wonders.
If anything, this gig proved that The LaFontaines are going to get even bigger than what they already are. If they keep up the work rate and live shows they have going, it's a bright future for the band that are already seen as Scottish heavyweights.

With the Autumnal gig season drawing do a close, I saw Gorillaz at the Hydro in Glasgow. As someone who normally consumes live music in dive bars, the stadium's sheer size was daunting, even if it's sticky floor felt like home. The crowd was full of groups of families with grownup-kids near my age. My parents got me into Gorillaz young and I credit them with playing a part in shaping my current tastes in music, visual arts and even politics. The group has always been all-encompassing, and their 29th November gig was no different.
The band rattled the room with M1 A1. This was followed by Albarn, mic in hand, asking the 13,000 strong crowd if we were the last living souls. These songs from the band's earlier work set the tone for the rest of the show, as it would feature hits peppered with memorable album tracks. A high point for me was Dirty Harry. The live performers were accompanied by a disjointed choir of cartoon South Park-esque kids singing the chilling chorus to the delight and discomfort of all watching. The band's alter egos played a huge part in the engulfing feeling of the show. Carrying out heists and racing games, 2-D, Murdoch, Noodle and Russell Hobs reached deeper into our collective consciousness, pulling out gleefull pockets of nostalgia, providing the perfect backdrop for the night's music.
Along with visuals, the main band were accompanied by a vast amount of guest performers, most notably the hip-hop trio De La Soul who feature on one of the bands most famous songs – Feel Good Inc.
Hong Kong was the first encore song, and it provided the most haunting musical moment of the night. The song which plays heavily on imagery surrounding neon lights and electricity was spontaneously met with thousands upon thousands of glowing phone lights, bringing the previously black room to an eery yellow which shined down Damon Albarn's face. Singing to us, an army of smartphone welding fans, with a wry smile "All the people in a dream, Wait for the machine" he brought the night towards its end. This scene felt stunningly fitting for a band who have continuously captured the zeitgeist. From their self-titled debut in 2001 to this year's Humanz, the group have always painted a vivid picture of the world in the 21st century.
Will Sexton (@willshesleeps) – Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes @ O2 Academy, Bristol

Now I know what you might be thinking, "ooh pick the latest gig you went too" but people who are thinking that obviously have never seen Frank Carter live. The stage presence of this man is electric all in itself and arriving on stage with an absolute roar of noise and appreciation is so magical every single time. Frank has had a bit of a tough year but you wouldn't have ever guessed, coming back from tonsillitis and taking a small break to help recover from the incredible work he has done over the last three years which was very well respected amongst the fans.
He came back with a total bang and every song from Primary Explosive right to I Hate You were electric. Filled with moshing and inspirational speeches about girls feeling safe at gigs, mental health and just straight up appreciation of us, it was a magical night!
Dominic Cassidy (@lyre_of_apollo) – The Mountain Goats @ The Art School, Glasgow
The Mountain Goats were awaited by the crowd with bated breath and I'd be lying if I said I was not amongst their number, in terms of the mob or the state of breath. North Carolina based folk rockers The Mountain Goats – consisting of the ever-present singer-songwriter John Darnielle and multi-instrumentalist Matt Douglas – ascend to the stage accompanied by cries of devotion from the loving Glasgow crowd. Opening with Have to Explode, the cheers and whooping give way to absolute silence. When the song ends so does the hush, the hanging silence expelled with thankful applause.
Honestly, for me the gig was a beautiful exhibition of long-crafted skill and art, showing how well playing to the crowd can be done. The innate crowd interaction from John Darnielle who was loving the little stand-up bits, made the night all the more special. If you have not seen The Mountain Goats live, I can recommend nothing more, and if you have never heard them, I would start now; on The Sunset Tree, Tallahassee, or Beat the Champ.

Gig Review: The LaFontaines & The Dykeenies @ Barrowlands
By Gregor Farquharson (@grgratlntc)
Having a gig at The Barrowlands is a massive achievement for any band. Tonight, The LaFontaines were ready to unleash their chaotic, charisma filled live show to the sold out Glasgow crowd. The buzz in the buildup to the performance was surreal, with fans everywhere eager to see the fonts once again.
The band tasked with getting the crowd ready? The recently reformed The Dykeenies. The band played a good 50 odd minute set, with highlights being Waiting for Go and Sounds Of The City. The fans were ready and The Dykeenies job was done with success.
Before the fonts unleashed their set to fans, classic rave tunes blasted throughout the 1920s ballroom. The crowd were eager, singing every word to Freed From Desire. When the tunes stopped, the fun began as the fonts were finally ready to step on stage.
Opening up with Slow Elvis and going straight into Junior Dragon, the atmosphere was something else. The bands unique sound works beautifully live and the feeling in the crowd was magical. New songs Common Problem and Hang Fire went down great with the crowd, proving the band are not just a one album band and that their second full length is doing wonders.
Frontman Kerr Okan's way of working the crowd is incredible, telling them to get low before the bands famous Major Lazer cover was played. Other huge highlights of the gig included Release the Hounds, What do I Know and Class. The band blasted through both their old and new songs, and showed no signs of taking a breather.
Opening the encore was Game of Thrones very own "The Hound", something that took many fans by surprise. During the bands song King, The Hound joined fans in the pits, moshing with a huge grin.
Closing the gig was cult fonts classics Shark In The Water and Under The Storm. Kerr Okan climbing the bands stage set during the final part of shark in the water was the highlight of the gig, and just summed up the whole night.

Festival Review: TRNSMT Day 2
Day 2 baby! If we're being totally transparent, today is by far the weakest of the weekend but that doesn't mean that there isn't anything worth seeing. Let's have a look and see how Saturday of TRNSMT treats us.
A band that we've covered extensively since they first came onto the scene with their hot indie rock single Sign Language, Vistas were oddly low on the King Tuts bill considering the success and crowd they have accumulated. Starting off with the aforementioned breakout track, the Edinburgh pop-rock outfit had the crowd chanting and moshing along to their catchy infusion of noughties indie and their own wee touches. With the sun shining down, the band were the perfect way to start the day and with the reaction they got from the audience, I won't be surprised to see this band become a regular sight at festivals all over the UK
Yonaka

Going on from a band that had been on our radar for a while to one that have only just recently made a blip, Yonaka are a sweet wee alt rock four piece that made a good impression on their King Tuts stage appearance. With front-woman Theresa Jarvis jumping around, dancing and pretty much rapping at one point, there was a fuck ton of Anthony Kiedis charm radiating off the band – an interesting act with a fuck ton of potential. If you didn't know then you know now.

If we're being transparent, we tried our best not to go anywhere near the main stage today: a bunch of samey, indie rock bands that seem to do more harm than good to the genre they claim to care about so much. Stormzy was on our must see list though and boy, he somehow still blew our expectations out of the park. The energy of a cheetah and with the same instinct, he put on the show of a lifetime and managed to convert the sceptics in the crowd. There was no moment to catch your breath bar Cigarettes and Cush and even then, most of the crowd were singing along in typical festival fashion. Expect to see him make an appearance on our Best of TRNSMT list.
The Van T's
It's the Van T's!

After the classic festival trope of losing and then searching for your friends for nearly an hour, we made our way back over to the King Tut's stage for what would sadly be the last gig of the day for myself (stupid cold). Thankfully, The Van T's did enough to leave everything on a high note with their sugary surf-rock/pop musings doing enough to keep the sun out and the good times flowing. While they might not have done enough to change the minds of sceptics, they more than certainly affirmed their reputation in the minds of many as one of the strongest up and coming acts Scotland has to offer.
The LaFontaines
Also The Lafontaines were pure class 🤘🏻 pic.twitter.com/PeitjwLCnG
— giulia (@_giuliapaganini) July 8, 2017
With nearly a decade's worth of experience, the LaFontaines had a setlist to suit most people. Fast, dancy songs like Pon De Fonts and King to slower songs such as castles, the set was sublime start to finish. Showcasing new material, the band are certain to do exceedingly well in the future. – Gregor Farquharson (@Gregoratlantic)

When it comes to protein beans are in the top five super foods, and I'm taking the humble bean to another level with this Spicy Sweet Three Bean Salad Recipe that's so delicious you will be making it over and over again.
The combination of the warm cayenne pepper and earthiness of the beans with the freshness of the pepper and celery, really takes this Spicy Sweet Three Bean Salad Recipe to a whole new level of flavours, enhanced even more by the lime juice crating complex and rich flavours making this salad worthy of centre stage.
Yet this dish is so easy to make, so versatile and so inexpensive that is really a dish not only for Summer but for all year round, even for those cold winter days.
From the health point of view beans not only are the most inexpensive source of protein, but they have complex carbs, fibre, a lot of nutrients, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, basically beans are a cheap and incredibly accessible super food, no doubt!
Putting the health benefits aside, this salad is incredibly delicious and super easy to make, making it a great option as a main course, side dish or appetiser.
In my household this is a very popular salad and when I make it for any of my catering bookings people really love it and always ask for it when they come back, sometimes even surprising me because is such a homey dish.
Leave to rest for a minimum of 30 minutes in the fridge, or better overnight covered with some plastic or in a air tight container.
You can also serve the salad on a serving plate for everyone to dig in and serve themselves.
I use can or tinned beans I feel they work better, are quicker to use and keep very well.
For this recipe I use canned or tinned beans, they are quicker to use and keep their shape and taste very well. I don't really have the time to cook 3 types of beans separately for one single dish, and why would you want to do that if you're using it for a salad? Can or tinned beans are perfectly fine.
I hope you enjoy making this recipe, if you do, come back rated and leave your comments, I always like to know what you guys think of the recipes.
I'll see you next weeK with another delicious recipe.


To be honest, we thought that being on holidays would give us the motivation to be constant & hardworking on our Blog. We definitely have things to say/write (about the latest Raf Simons collection or about the closure of Colette for instance), we have outfits of the day that could be posted yet we are feeling a huge huge need to take some time for us, with our friends & family and an even huger need to be lazy. We are not usually the kind of lazy persons but after all these intense months, we need to calm down, take some rest, visit our new city (we thought we already knew it well but our discoveries are endless!), think about what's next. So, dear readers, please excuse our idleness, our scarce posts and be sure we'll be back one day with a lot of stuff to write about and a lot to say about the crazy world of fashion.
In the meantime, enjoy this latest #ootd we shot a few days ago in the Jardin des Plantes in the 5th arrondissement.

Q: Array declaration in the .h file, is it a good idea? I am working in C++ and want to declare an array in the private section of the header file. Now that I am thinking about it, I thought doing so was bad practice? I would think doing this would cause multiple declarations everywhere the header is included? Almost like a mem leak?
Is this correct? I'm not sure what the standard "good" practice would be? Put all array declarations in the .cpp file?

A: (Assuming non-member, since you didn't say anything about an encapsulating type. If your use of the term "private" was to be taken literally, then please clarify your question.)

You won't get a memory leak; you'll get multiple definition errors.
Put all array definitions in a source file, yes, but you can "forward declare" the array with extern in headers.
// headers
extern char buf[256];

// one source file
char buf[256];

Not that I'd recommend the use of arrays at all...

A: There is nothing like private section of a header file. If you declare an array globally inside a header file then you may get multiple definitions (not memory leak). It's a linker error.
Best way is to declare the array as extern in the header file and define in the .cpp file:
//myfile.h
extern int a[100];

//myfile.cpp
int a[100];

Note: If you declare the array static or inside unnamed namespace inside the header file:
//myfile.h
static int a[100];
    OR
//myfile.h
namespace { int a[100]; }

then you will not get the multiple definition problem. However, a new copy of the array will be created in every .cpp file where the header is #includeed.

A: This is what I prefer and use:
 // Header
 extern int MyArray[];

 // CPP file
 int MyArray[] = { 1, 4, 16, 512, 8192 }; // Or give a size

And this works for class-level static arrays too.

Rapist admits murdering missing man, soliciting shooting of partner in court
May 15, 2020 — 3.18pm
Graham Thomas Sales was already behind bars for sadistically torturing a string of domestic partners and threatening a police officer when he finally confessed to two of his worst crimes.
The former Central Coast man on Friday admitted murdering Ronald Richard Penn, 61, and organising the courtroom shooting of de facto wife Jennifer Forgacs in late 1995.

Mr Penn, from the Central Coast, was last seen in October 1995, three days before his white Mazda van was found burnt-out in bushland in Berkeley Vale.
The missing man only had a few clothes and personal belongings with him when he vanished.
His bank accounts also lay dormant and his driver's licence was never renewed, investigators said in 2015.
With "guilty, thank you", Sales on Friday admitted in the NSW Supreme Court he murdered Mr Penn at The Entrance North between October 23 and October 28.
Moments later, another polite "guilty" served as a confession to masterminding the attempted shooting murder of Ms Forgacs, then 24, in Wyong Local Court on November 21, 1995.
"Guilty, thank you," he told Justice Elizabeth Fullerton.
Sales admitted soliciting his younger brother, Ross Alfred Shane Sales, to murder Ms Forgacs between October 23 and the actual shooting. The gunman, then aged 24, was arrested at the scene.
The woman suffered serious injuries while the shooter was found not guilty of attempted murder by reason of mental illness and was placed in psychiatric care.
Sales is already serving a 37-year jail term for the reign of terror he waged against his domestic partners and others between 1988 and his arrest in 2014.
In one instance, he preyed on a single mother and her young children, gaining their trust before attacking the teenage girl by dragging her to his house and raping her.
He then showed her a gun and told her he'd kill her whole family if she said anything.
Another underage victim twice ran into Sales as an adult and was told she must come to see him.
Each time he warned he'd make up stories about their sexual history and tell her then-partner if she didn't comply.
Each time she arrived at Sales' place, he raped her.
Sales is also serving time for threatening a police officer in court and was jailed in the late 1980s for abusing his first wife and child.
He will return to the Supreme Court in July for a disputed facts hearing.

Q: Se debería usar n-- o n-1 (JAVA) hice un código en base a lo que me pidieron en la universidad:

Mi código resultó así:
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Random r = new Random();
    int row = 4, col = 7;
    int[][] edif = new int[row][col];
    row--; col--;

    for(int x = 0; x < row; x++) {
        for(int y = 0; y < col; y++) {
            edif[x][y] = r.nextInt(6)+25;
            edif[x][col] += edif[x][y];
            edif[row][y] += edif[x][y];
        }
    }
    //IMPRIMIR MATRIZ Y SUMA DE CADA FILA
    System.out.println("     A      B      C      D      E      F");
    int nf = 3; //donde 3 son los números de filas, meramente estético
    for(int x = 0; x < row; x++) {
        System.out.print(""+(nf--)+" "); //se imprimirá una serie de números de acuerdo a la cantidad de filas, haciendo decremento desde 3
        for(int y = 0; y < col; y++) {
            String val = String.format("%3s",edif[x][y]);
            System.out.print(" ["+val+"] ");
        }
        String val = String.format("%3s",edif[x][col]);
        System.out.print("  {"+val+"}");
        System.out.println();
    }
    //IMPRIMIR SUMA DE CADA COLUMNA
    System.out.println();
    for(int x = 0; x < row-2; x++) {
        System.out.print("  ");
        for(int y = 0; y < col; y++) {
            String val = String.format("%3s",edif[row][y]);
            System.out.print(" {"+val+"} ");
        }
        System.out.println();
    }
}

La impresión sale como debería:

*

*Sin embargo, tengo una duda. Está al inicio, en las declaraciones de variables. Por qué debo usar el operador de decremento en vez de solo restar 1?

*Me refiero en   row--; col--  dentro de los for;

*Si trato de usar   row-1; col-1;   Me sale un error.

*Todavía sigo aprendiendo den Java y tenía esa curiosidad.

Y, hay otras formas de realizar este mismo ejercicio? Siento que es mucho código para un ejercicio así.

A: Estás haciendo el array más grande de lo que es necesario.
Creas 7 columnas (de la 0 a la 6) pero solo usas las columnas de la 0 a la 5 ( < row, donde row == 6).
Lo mismo pasa con las filas.
Está bien usar el número que usas para las dimensiones en el bucle, mientras recuerdes que, como los arrays empiezan por 0, el bucle ha de ir de 0 a "tamaño - 1". Y los arrays tienen una útil propiedad .length.
Cambia
int row = 3, col = 6;

y elimina la línea con los decrementos.

Important Things to Know if You're Planning a Trip to Singapore
Blue Grassmix
If you are planning to go to Singapore anytime in the future, here are a few things you should know. Now that we are in a time of a pandemic, knowing travel requirements and restrictions are more important than ever.
Who can go to Singapore as a tourist?
At the time of writing, Singapore has opened its borders to travellers from New Zealand, Australia (excluding New South Wales), Brunei Darussalam, and Mainland China for short-term and recreational visits. Even tourists from Hong Kong SAR are allowed to travel under certain conditions in the future as talks of an "air travel bubble" between the two are still up in the air.
Who else can go to the country?
Singaporean nationals from anywhere in the world are allowed to return to Singapore. However, depending on where they will be coming from, returning nationals will need to undergo quarantine at a designated facility or self-isolation at home.
Foreign nationals that have a long-term pass issued by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) are also allowed access into the country under certain conditions.
Are there restrictions on business-related travel?
As far as business trips are concerned, nationals from certain countries are allowed into the city-state if they fulfill a specific set of requirements. People from Brunei Darussalam, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and some parts of Mainland China can enter Singapore to do their business. Again, as in the other previous points, certain conditions need to be met.
What are the travel requirements for tourists?
As stated earlier, travellers from New Zealand, Australia (excluding New South Wales), Brunei Darussalam, and Mainland China are allowed into Singapore for recreational travel. Anyone from any of these countries must secure an Air Travel Pass at least 7 days before the date of travel and should not exceed 30 days prior to the travel date. Travellers should have also stayed for a period of 14 consecutive days in one of those countries and present their Air Travel Pass before boarding any Singapore-bound flights.
Upon arrival at the airport, travellers must undergo COVID-19 testing at their own expense and keep themselves isolated in non-residential accommodations (like an airport hotel or something similar) until the results come out.
From December 23, 2020, foreign nationals that have a travel history to the UK within 14 days of their trip to Singapore are not allowed to enter the small country.
Travellers must also install a contact tracing app, Trace Together, on their smartphones and register their information before boarding the plane bound for Singapore and keep it throughout the duration of their stay.
It is important to note that an Air Travel Pass is no substitute for a visa so if your passport requires a visa to enter Singapore, you must also secure a visa.
What are some of the things you can do in Singapore at this time?
Even amid the pandemic, most of Singapore has continued to be operational. Thanks to the way they handled the situation, a lot of things can be done freely in Singapore. Here are a few of their top tourist attractions:
Changi Airport
Once you land in Singapore, you will not even need to get out of the Jewel Changi Airport as the airport itself is already quite an experience.
Who has not heard of Marina Bay Sands? It is, by far, one of the most renowned sightseeing spots in Singapore with its lush parks and architectural wonders.
If you want to go see some of Singapore's most iconic tourist attractions and locations, a trip to Downtown Core should be at the top of your to-do list.
Kampong Glam
Experience Singaporean culture and cuisine when you visit Kampong Glam. Let your senses run wild as you go through the district's colourful buildings.
If you are in the mood for some good old-fashioned fun, then Sentosa, Singapore's playground, is the perfect spot for you. It is filled with theme parks and other fun tourist attractions that will leave you wanting more.
Thanks to the way Singapore's leadership handled the pandemic, it remains as one of the top tourist destinations in the world even in the midst of a global health crisis.

Thanks to Israeli director, Egyptian filmmakers boycott festival
Posted on April 9, 2010 Categories: BDS News, BDS Success, Cultural Boycott, Egyptian Organizing Comments are off for this post
Louise Sarant
The sixth annual short-film festival at the French Cultural Center in Cairo (CFCC), "Recontres de l'Image," started out with 49 screenings. That number has now dropped to 17 after the jury, composed of three Egyptian directors and actors, pulled out of the competition and a number of Egyptian short films followed them.
The catalyst for the mass exodus from the festival was the inclusion of the film Almost Normal, directed by Keren Ben Raphael, an Israeli director who studies at the prestigious French cinema school La Fémis, whose students have contributed films to the competition.
The seven-day program for the festival had already been widely distributed when Ahmed Atef, a film critic, director and jury member resigned from his position two weeks ago after discovering that one of the participants was Israeli. Atef issued a statement outlining his position and received the complete support of the Cinema Syndicate.
"The participation of a film by an Israeli filmmaker is completely unacceptable," said Shoukry Abu Emiera, the secretary general of the Cinema Syndicate. "Any Egyptian artist who travels to Israel or participates in an Israeli production–given the atrocities that Israel commits on a daily basis–is boycotted by the syndicate."
Initially, in an attempt to "save" the festival, in the words of CFCC head Jean-Pierre Debaere, the center announced that the "offending" film would be withdrawn.
Almost Normal tells the story of Shai, an Israeli boy in Tel Aviv who is about to turn 12 and wishes for a normal birthday, which is tainted every year by the anniversary of his grandfather's death.
The decision to withdraw Almost Normal was revoked on the order of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Debaere explains that "the Ministry considered it inconceivable not to screen this film because of the director"s nationality."
Admitting that the retraction of his initial first statement was very "embarrassing," Debaere also stressed that the reaction from Ahmed Atef and other Egyptian participants "came as a total surprise for us, because other Israeli movies had been screened at the center before and were never stigmatized like this short film is."
The Wall, by French-Israeli director Simone Bitton about the erection of the wall that separates Israelis and Palestinians was screened at the CFCC in 2006 and 2007. Abraham Segal"s documentary La Politique de Dieu (God"s Politics), was shown in 2008. These two full-length films produced by Israelis did not cause a stir when they were screened at the CFCC.
But since Ahmed Atef resigned from the jury, the decision to boycott the CFCC's festival has snowballed as more and more directors have pulled out, with the support of the Cinema Syndicate. Those who didn't pull out immediately may have felt pressure to.
Asser Yassin, a young Egyptian actor, assured that his decision to leave the arbitration committee was not influenced by the Cinema Syndicate. "It has nothing to do with Keren Ben Raphael"s nationality. I left the jury because I discovered on her CV that she served in the Israeli army, which I consider a terrorist organization," he said.
Raphael spent a year and nine months in mandatory service with the Israeli army in a film unit where she edited and directed instructional films.
Kamla Abu Zekry, director and jury member, also withdrew her participation, saying that "for the past 30 years I have seen on TV children and people in Palestine killed by Israelis."
She describes her move as a personal decision and a simple statement to condemn the atrocities that are committed against Palestinians. Questioned on the delicate and sensitive topic of "cultural normalization" between Egypt and Israel, Abu Zekry replied that "a dialogue will not be possible before Israel ceases to be a terrorist country."
The festival, which was originally scheduled to run for seven days, will now take place over two and will present a selection of French and Romanian short films, cartoons and documentaries. Almost Normal will be screened on the first day of the festival.
On Thursday, 8 April at 8 pm the CFCC will screen five short-films and a cartoon all directed by La Fémis students. On Friday, 9 April at 7 pm the CFCC will screen a cartoon, nine short-films from France and Romania and a documentary.

King Mo Takes On Satoshi Ishii In Dublin
Rhett Butler
Tonight, two of the top MMA promotions in the world, Bellator and BAMMA, have joined forces to kick off the weekends combat sports fireworks at Bellator 169.
Bellator MMA President Scott Coker and BAMMA CEO David Green are jointly presenting Muhammad King Mo Lawal (19-5, 1 NC) versus Satoshi Ishii as well as BAMMA main event, Tom Duquesnoy (13-1, 1 NC) and Alan Philpott (16-8).
BAMMA is the largest mixed martial arts promotion in the United Kingdom.
Lawals last fight at Bellator 154 saw him take a unanimous decision loss to Phil Davis in a light heavyweight title eliminator.
Prior to that, he won the Rizin heavyweight Grand Prix tournament in Japan with a first round KO over Jiri Prochazka at the Saitama Super Arena. As a former Bellator light heavyweight champion and Division I All-American wrestler, Lawal has got the goods.
"The cold weather (in Ireland) gets me, you know what Im saying. But its gonna be hot in the venue, because Im gonna bring the heat. Its gonna be action-packed. Im ready to scrap," said Lawal at yesterday's weigh-in.
Satoshi Ishii is a Japanese judoka turned mixed martial artist, noted for winning a Gold Medal in Judo at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China, a silver medal at the 2006 Asian Games and two All-Japan Judo Championships.
Last June he lost a split decision to Quinton Rampage Jackson at Bellator 157 and looks to advance his MMA career with a win over King Mo.
Catch all the action live from 3A Arena in Dublin, Ireland on Spike at 9pm EST / 6pm PST.

Q: Convert Feet to Decimal Degrees I need to convert a bunch of coordinates that were stored in Feet to Decimal Degrees. I found a Function in VB.Net, though it's results are not coming back correctly. When I input 3106972, 1417936 into this function I get: -80.7964701731349, 32.8465039721407 where they should be: -105.115621, 40.480104. Where am I going wrong here?

A: There is a similar formula described in this Esri forum post (for Washington State rather than Florida), so it is certainly a problem that's been addressed for a range of locations. The post refers to Map Projections, A Working Manual for the mathematical basics to modify the script for a different location.
However, that would require some familiarity with projections, a fair amount of reading, and knowing the specific projection of the original data. If you don't know it, the question becomes much trickier and there is a chance of significant errors being introduced. The error will be less than "somewhere in Florida when it's supposed to be in Colorado" of course, but whether that's acceptable depends on the application (are you locating cities or utility poles?)...
Another option would be to explore scripting through a GIS program (e.g., QGIS which is free) and using their pre-existing transformation functions. Again, this depends on knowing the original projection of your data. If you choose to go that route, then scripting the function would need to be a new Question (because it's pretty different, and because I don't know how to answer it.)

A: The feet and degree coordinates fit to each other if you use EPSG:2231 NAD83 / Colorado North (ftUS) with the following parameters:
+proj=lcc +lat_1=40.78333333333333 +lat_2=39.71666666666667 +lat_0=39.33333333333334 +lon_0=-105.5 +x_0=914401.8288036576 +y_0=304800.6096012192 +ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=us-ft +no_defs

Using QGIS measurement tool, the offset is about 21m. I added the point for a NAD27 CRS as well, that is 85m West of NAD83/WGS84.

Novel ultrashort EUV and hard x-ray sources have been developed and characterized. Radiation pulses were produced by combining femtosecond laser technology with a specially designed EUV and x-ray diode. At first, ultrashort electron pulses are generated by photoemission from a photocathode. Then, these electron pulses are accelerated over a short distance towards an high-Z anode. EUV radiation is produced with a silicon anode via L-shell emission, hard-x-rays are generated with a copper anode. Measurements of the pulse duration were performed for hard-x-rays using an advanced streak camera. For high electron pulse charges (several pC), hard-x-ray pulse durations of less than 10 ps were observed. In this contribution we present the concept of our EUV and hard x-ray source. A wide range of experimental parameters is investigated: Different cathode and anode materials were tested, femtosecond laser systems with different parameters are used, the dependence of the radiation pulse length on experimental parameters e.g. laser energy and acceleration voltage is studied.

CULTURE CHOCKTECHNOLOGISTS
Gen Zero Ownership; Subscription Economy for Apps
Liftoff releases its annual Mobile App Trends Report on the booming app economy. The report claims a cultural shift in consumer purchase behaviour, as subscription rates jumped more than 1.5x YoY.
The report claims Asia is home to some of the highest-performing countries in terms of Day One mobile app user retention, although user-loyalty wanes after 30 days.
Based on Liftoff's internal data, the report analyzes over 349 billion impressions across 992 mobile apps, 5.35 billion clicks and 76.6 million total post-install events. It covered 30 countries in four regions; including 11 countries in the Asia-Pacific (Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam).
Key take-aways from the report:
First Impressions Count; Asian countries show highest Day One retention rates
The mobile app user retention rate measures the percentage of consumers that continue to use an app over a given period of time. In Asia – where the average Day 1 retention rate was recorded at 25.2 percent, Taiwan (at 29.5 percent) outperformed the region's average retention rate, followed by Malaysia (29.1 percent), Japan (28.4 percent) and Thailand (27.0 percent).
Despite the high figures recorded for first day retention, the figure was shown to drop off considerably after a month. This is as the Day 3 retention rate stood only at 12.6 percent in Asia – the lowest across all regions – while Day 7 retention rates dropped to 8.1 percent (lower than the 8.9 percent and 8.5 percent in the North America and EMEA regions respectively, but still higher than the 7.9 percent in Latin America).
By Day 30, Asia's retention rate stood at 3.1 percent; lower than the 3.5 percent seen both in the EMEA and North America regions, however still higher than the 2.8 percent in Latin America.
A key factor explaining the high early retention rates in Asia is the relatively low cost to engagement ratio for users to install an app which, at USD 1.11 cost for 100 percent engagement, signifies one of the lowest ratios amongst all the regions. The drop off by Day 30 could then be explained by the low conversion of cost to engagement for in-app purchases (USD 85.95 cost for 1.3 percent engagement) and purchases (USD 67.68 cost for 1.6 percent engagement). Among all the other regions, the figures highlighted the second-highest costs in their categories yet only showed the lowest engagement rates.
There seems to be more value derived from app subscriptions in Asia. For instance, the cost to acquire users in Asia was USD28.95 whereas the engagement rate was 3.8 percent. While the engagement rate was only the third highest amongst all the other regions, the cost was the lowest.
Gen Zero Ownership: Consumers More Willing to Subscribe to Services than to Make a Purchase
The trend seen in app subscriptions in Asia reflected an overarching trend seen across all the regions studied.
Liftoff's report shows that there is a cultural shift in consumer purchase behaviour, as subscription rates jumped more than 1.5x year-over-year. This comes as the subscription economy has taken off in recent years. Consumers have moved increasingly away from ownership, and the market has noticed: today, there are over two thousand consumer-focused subscription businesses capitalizing on customers' diverse tastes.
This trend is also set to take off in Asia, where a Citi Bank study showed that companies will increasingly move towards subscription-based models to access products and services rather than a one-time purchase.
According to Liftoff CEO Mark Ellis, for the past two years, Liftoff's data pointed to the growth of the subscription model, but this year it shows one key difference, mobile users are far more willing to subscribe to a service than to make a one-time purchase.
"The subscription model, particularly in e-commerce, offers consumers a convenient, personalized, and often lower-cost way to buy what they want and need. In Asia, we are now seeing more regional companies attempting to emulate the subscription-based models seen in the West and try to replicate it in the region. With, internet and mobile penetration set to grow even further, we only see such services not only becoming more popular in the region, but even going as far as to say that they could be the norm. Marketers looking to capitalize on this cultural shift should explore subscription-based models or tiers, or take note of key points in the year when purchase behavior is up to get the most bang for their buck," says Ellis.

The Flying Circus Era
The heyday of the Flying Circus operations was really quite short, lasting from 1929 until 1937. They were a phenomena suited to the age, the likes of which have never been seen since. Their unique attribute being that they were touring air shows with a strong emphasis on passenger carrying for joy rides. For a huge number of people this was their first opportunity to make a flight in an aeroplane.
Finding the proof
In researching this Guide I quickly discovered so much I did not know about. It has been a most extraordinary voyage of discovery. Without much doubt the UK has the richest aviation history.

Since passing his GFT for a Private Pilots License on the 30th June 1989 in the Cessna 152 G-WACB at Wycombe Air Park the gates of opportunity opened and he has, for example, flown an aircraft in every country in western Europe registered in each country.
And that includes a Robin DR.40 3A-MKQ from Cannes registered in Monaco. A tiny principality that does not have an airfield! He has also flown aircraft in the USA, Australia and New Zealand. Another aspect of his involvement with aviation was moving light aircraft in a specialised truck for over twenty five years.

Milan doubles down on electric buses and orders 100 more
EVs are buses too

A public transport operator in Milan, Italy is lowing its fleet emissions by doubling down on electric buses.
According to Electric Cars Report, bus operator ATM has ordered 100 electric buses from Solaris. The city already has a bunch of electric buses in operation after taking delivery over the past two years.
Solaris is expected to fulfil the order in the first half of 2021. At this point there will be 275 zero-emission Solaris vehicles carrying passengers around the streets of the Italian city.
[Read: UK expected to bring diesel ban forward by another 5 years!]
In 2018, Milan debuted electric buses — also made by Solaris. The latest order of 100 buses, appears to be Milan's single biggest electric bus order.
Milan isn't the only European city that's making the shift to electric buses.
Further north, Sweden has been betting big on electric buses made by Volvo — obviously. All being well, by the middle of next year Sweden is expected to have hundreds of electric buses in operation.

Home News & Headlines Lifestyle Deja vu for U.S. troops celebrating Christmas in Iraq again
Deja vu for U.S. troops celebrating Christmas in Iraq again
By Stephen Kalin | EAST OF MOSUL, IRAQ.
This is the third Christmas that Staff Sergeant Magdiel Asencio is spending in Iraq. For Sergeant First Class Noel Alvarado, it is number four. And so it is with many U.S. troops stationed less than a hour's drive from the front line with Islamic State.
Few thought they would be back nearly 14 years after the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein, sparking an al Qaeda-backed insurgency and throwing the country into a sectarian civil war.
Yet here they are, albeit with a fraction of the numbers and a much narrower mission. The roughly 5,200 U.S. troops presently stationed in Iraq are part of an international coalition helping local forces retake the third of their country seized by Islamic State more than 2-1/2 years ago.
Their current target is Mosul, the jihadists' last major stronghold in the country. Iraqi forces control around a quarter of the city, but fierce counter-attacks have rendered progress slow and punishing.
Asencio served in Mosul during the initial invasion, first to provide artillery support and then as infantry.
"It was more of a wild wild west then. We didn't know if something was going to go down and when they needed you to call for fires," he said, standing beside a field artillery unit that hits Islamic State targets inside Mosul nearly every day.
"It's a little more calm this time around. We still shoot, we know we're here in support of the Iraqi army. There's still enemy out there but we're not as into actual direct combat as we were back then."
Many battalion commanders previously served multiple tours in Iraq, often punctuated by combat in Afghanistan. There are even some soldiers in their first tour here whose fathers missed Christmases with them a decade ago to be in Iraq.
"I thought back in 2011 when we closed it all out, it was going to be finalised then," said Alvarado, referring to the withdrawal of U.S. troops that year.
"But being back here is totally different. I've seen (the Iraqi army) pick themselves up a lot. They have a better standard now."
The Iraqi military and police dropped their weapons and fled in 2014 in the face of Islamic State's assault, despite far superior numbers and billions of dollars in U.S. training and equipment.
The coalition has retrained tens of thousands of local troops in the past two years and provides advice on military strategy and planning, as well as artillery support and air strikes that are indispensable to the war against Islamic State.
"Anything we can do to assist them in their operation forward with us not actually squeezing the trigger," said Lieutenant Colonel Stuart James. "So we'll move forward with them, but we're not the ones that make contact."
A top commander told Reuters that U.S. forces were embedding more extensively with Iraqi troops in order to accelerate the Mosul campaign, which started on Oct. 17.
SPARTAN LIVING
Coalition advisors were initially concentrated at a high-level headquarters in Baghdad but have fanned out over the past two years to spartan outposts like this one about 15 kilometers (10 miles) east of Mosul to stay near advancing troops.
"Merry Christmas from the most forward TAA at the tip of the spear," James said, using a military acronym for the compound.
The austere outpost nestled in an ancient Christian region has few permanent structures, since the troops plan to move on when the Iraqi forces they are advising advance.
Heavy rain turned much of the grounds into thick mud on Sunday as soldiers huddled inside two dining tents for a special holiday meal where a plastic Christmas tree and a Santa Claus figurine flanked one entrance.
Outside, a soldier in a Santa hat did pull-ups at a makeshift gym.
This is a far cry from the luxurious facilities at the sprawling compound the U.S. military once maintained inside Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone and other big bases that have since been handed over to the Iraqis.
Yet Alvarado is not too torn up about spending another Christmas away from home.
"As long as my troops are OK and my family back home they're OK and we're supporting that, then I'm fine with it," he said.

Facebook says it has removed 82 pages, accounts and groups linked to Iran from its service and from Instagram for spreading misinformation.
The company says the accounts were targeting U.S. and U.K. citizens and typically represented themselves to be American or British citizens, posting about politically charged topics such as race relations and opposition to President Donald Trump.
Facebook said Friday that a manual review of the accounts linked them to Iran. Facebook has traditionally relied heavily on automated checks to detect misinformation and other bad behavior on its service.
The company has already disclosed that it found and removed similar activity originating in Iran in August.
The removals come less than two weeks before the U.S. midterm elections.

People who write the assessments of the all-time greats almost always grew up with their subjects and carry with them no small amount of personal baggage and nostalgia. They just don't cop to it. Brisbee does.
And he's fair. He doesn't deny the PED stuff or the Bonds-is-a-jerk stuff. It's all in there. But so too is the dominance. And so too is what Bonds meant to young baseball fans — especially Giants fans — in the 1990s. Which is something that those who like to cast Bonds as a villain or cast him out entirely never mention. Mickey Mantle gets the "what he meant to people of a certain age in New York" consideration in all of his career retrospectives. Yaz gets the same stuff for Boston. But stars of the 1990s never get that. Probably because people who were kids in the 90s are just now starting to come into their own as baseball commentators, I guess.
Whatever the case, the by-now incredibly overwrought disparagement of guys like Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and all of the others is not just a shame because of what it means for the Hall of Fame. It's a shame because those doing so are erasing — or at least are trying to erase — baseball history. They are unfairly devaluing the baseball memories of a lot of people who grew up watching those players play. People who are not idiots and fully realize that many of the players took drugs and all of that. But people who don't care, because they're not fixated on the records and the nature and integrity of a player's legacy like a sportswriter may be.
They care that the Giants didn't move to Tampa in 1992. They care that they got to see an amazing player hit tremendous home runs and carry an entire team on his back for 15 years. That stuff matters, and it's about time that the history of that stuff be written. Not just the tut-tutting of men who were too old and jaded to give a crap about it when it happened.


You will find this piano roll pretty interesting. When you click on any of the sun bathing girls, she will turn to you and sing a note. Start from the left, the girl in white bikini sings middle C. The next is D and so forth that you will get a whole octave of C major scale.
I believe that many have seen miniature pianos – some are music boxes, some are just miniature for decorations. But this thing is real – The Grand Pianist by SegaToys.
