Saudi Arabia's victory and Iran's defeat… How did the World Cup "embarrass" the Houthi leaders?
international news / Arabias, Cup, defeat, embarrass, Houthi, Irans, leaders, Saudi, victory, World
A "historic" victory by the Saudi national team over their Argentine counterparts at the World Cup competitions in Qatar 2022 put the Houthi militia in a "dilemma" and exposed their double standards.
No sooner had referees from the Saudi and Argentina national teams blown the final whistle with the victory of the "Green Falcons" over the "Tango Dancers" on the Yemeni street, whose citizens went out to celebrate what they described as a "historic achievement".
However, this Arab "victory" put the Houthi militia and their leadership in a serious dilemma, so which side do you lean towards? … Arab identity or loyalty to Tehran? … These questions revealed "great" contradictions within the ranks of the "revolutionaries."
While the quick, unartificial reaction of some militia leaders came on their social media accounts, congratulating Suqur Al-Akhdar on her victory, which was described as "deserved," they quickly deleted those tweets, in a position that activists are considering "Iranian directives" were drawn as a means of ridicule due to loyalty to Houthi absolute leaders of Tehran.
Spontaneous or dependent?
One of the most prominent Houthi leaders to tweet and then delete was the head of the so-called "Foreign Ministry" Hussein Al-Ezzi, extremist leader Daif Allah Al-Shami appointed Minister of Information and Abdul Qadir Al-Murtada the appointed leader to head the Prisoners Committee , alongside activists loyal to the militia.
He went beyond deleting the Houthi militia leaders to apologize in their tweets, claiming they were "spontaneously" in a position that bared their "hatred" to any Arab delight, and revealed their internal conflict as one Result of absolute loyalty to the Iranian regime and its interference in the smallest details of the militias.
This position, which revealed the double standards of the Houthi militia and their absolute subordination to Tehran, was reflected – also – in the advance congratulations I gave to the Iranian national team for their victory over their English counterparts by those "revolutionary" elements last year Monday.
read "failed".
However, after their understanding of the reality of the game faltered and their hopes of the Iran national team's "disappointing" result being dashed by their English counterpart, in addition to the Iran national team's reluctance to sing the anthem, they rushed to deliver the congratulations from their accounts on the social networks "Facebook" and "Twitter". ".
It was not just the leaders of the Houthi militia who fell into this "dilemma"; Also, the telecom company (Yemen Mobile), the largest telecom company in Yemen and under the control of the revolutionaries, tweeted on its Facebook account ahead of the England-Iran game, supporting the Tehran team and calling its players "lions". Knight."
However, according to their description, after the "lions" failed to sing the anthem in support of the anti-mullahs protests in Iran, they forced the giant company to delete its publication, only to reveal that the impasse was breaking away from the According to observers, the Houthi base extends into the hierarchy of its leaders.
Iranian farmers
Observers believe the Houthi militia's retreat from blessing Saudi Arabia's victory and previous congratulations to the Iran national team was an embodiment of their state of weakness and highlighted the level of public shock and confusion the militia leaders have faced after they were stripped "Iranian chess pieces" have become. "
Furthermore, political activist of the General People's Congress Party, Rashad Al-Soufi, said in an interview with Al-Ain News that "the withdrawal of the leaders of the Houthi militia to spread the blessings of the Saudi national team's victory confirms that they" don't even have the freedom to express their feelings about a sporting event.
He added: "The state of weakness of the Houthi militia leaders, which justifies their posting of congratulations on the Saudi national team's victory on social media platforms, undermines their claims to sovereignty and the independence of decision-making."
Although the Houthi leaders tried to show that what they wrote about the Saudi national team's victory was an emotional or spontaneous case against an Arab people, the Iranian veto was "strict" and directed the militias to delete the tweets and apologizing for publishing them too, according to the Yemeni political activist.

Available for pre-order. This book will be available May, 2020
Praise for the previous edition: Choice Outstanding Academic Title
"Reading such intelligent, formidable prose about Ms. Tharp is a joy."—New York Times
"Not only does Siegel furnish us with highly detailed descriptions of various Tharp works and vivid accounts of particular performances, she also tries to give us a real sense of the creative process as manifested in this particular artist."—Los Angeles Times
"Siegel provides a wealth of insight into the choreographer's groundbreaking movement vocabulary and its development over four decades. . . . A thoughtful record of Tharp's oeuvre and a must for theater and dance scholars and aficionados."—Publishers Weekly
"For those of us who experienced these dances live, the book summons images of a heady era in recent dance history. For those who missed these works (even the ephemera), the prose makes us regret our absence."—Dance Magazine
"Siegel's attention to detail allows the history of Tharp to become a story. She ties Tharp's past to her present work, as well as the evolution of American dance. In so doing, she carves a permanent place for Tharp within written dance history."—Dance Research Journal
For more than five decades, Twyla Tharp has been a phenomenon in American dance, a choreographer who not only broke the rules but refused to repeat her own successes. Tharp has made movies, television specials, and nearly one hundred riveting dance works. Her dance show Movin' Out ran on Broadway for three years and won Tharp a Tony award for Best Choreography.
Howling Near Heaven is the only in-depth study of Twyla Tharp's unique, restless creativity. This second edition features a new forward that brings the account of Tharp's work up to date and discusses how dance and dance-making in the United States have changed in recent years. This is the story of a choreographer who refused to be pigeonholed and the dancers who accompanied her as she sped across the frontiers of dance.
Marcia B. Siegel is senior contributor in dance for ArtsFuse.org and contributing editor for the Hudson Review. She covered dance for 16 years at the Boston Phoenix and is the author of several books, including Days on Earth: The Dance of Doris Humphrey and The Shapes of Change: Images of American Dance.

Reacții la apariția serialului
Pe site-ul Rotten Tomatoes, seria deține un rating de aprobare de 84% bazat pe 56 de recenzii ale criticilor, cu un rating mediu de 7,6/10. Consensul criticilor site-ului spune: "Spectaculos atât ca formă, cât și ca fond, Winning Time îmbină o listă de personaje cu un stil flamboaiant, reușind un slam dunk absolut". Pe site-ul Metacritic, seria are un scor de 68 din 100, pe baza a 29 de recenzii ale criticilor, indicând "recenzii favorabile în general".

Serialul a primit critici de la Magic Johnson și Kareem Abdul-Jabbar pentru inexactități istorice. Johnson a spus că nu va viziona serialul pentru că nu a descris niciodată cu acuratețe epoca Showtime, în timp ce Abdul-Jabbar s-a referit la serial ca fiind necinstit în mod deliberat. Pe 19 aprilie 2022, Jerry West a cerut HBO retragerea serialului în termen de două săptămâni pentru reprezentarea "crudă" și "deliberat falsă" a lui ca un director temperamental, prost, predispus la izbucniri de furie și schimbări de dispoziție. O săptămână mai târziu, HBO i-a răspuns lui West cu următoarea declarație: "HBO are o lungă istorie de a produce conținut convingător extras din fapte și evenimente reale care sunt ficționalizate parțial în scopuri dramatice. Winning Time nu este un documentar și nu a fost prezentat ca atare. Cu toate acestea, serialul și reprezentările sale se bazează pe cercetări concrete extinse și pe surse de încredere, iar HBO stă cu hotărâre alături de creatori și de actorii noștri talentați care au adus pe ecran o dramatizare a acestui capitol epic din istoria baschetului." West, la rândul său, a spus că intenționează să depună o acțiune legală împotriva HBO pentru defăimare, chiar dacă trebuie să "ducă acest lucru până la Curtea Supremă ". Spencer Haywood, pe de altă parte, a numit portretizarea sa în serial ca fiind o binecuvântare.

I won't have time to review the full set of The Paternoster Gang: Heritage 4 before the holidays, but the story on the first CD is a Christmas tale so I've decided to do it separately and save the rest for later.
This story sees the return of a character from the classic Doctor Who era: that late-Victorian music hall impresario, Henry Gordon Jago.
Jago (Christopher Benjamin) first appeared in the 1977 4th Doctor's story, "The Talons of Weng-Chiang," in which he and Professor Litefoot (Trevor Baxter) assisted the Doctor in investigating the strange disappearances of several young women in the Limehouse streets in the vicinity Jago's theatre. The two made an amusing double act, and there were jokes about a Jago and Litefoot spinoff–which never came to be on television, but did much later become a popular audio series on Big Finish. Jago and Litefoot continued their adventures in Victorian London long after the Doctor had gone on his way. The series only ended when Trevor Baxter passed on.
As this story begins, we learn that Mr. Jago is already acquainted with the Paternoster Gang. He's on his own this holiday season, since his friend Prof. Litefoot is spending the winter in Egypt, and he's on friendly enough terms with the Paternosters that they invite him to join them for a Christmas Eve tea.
But before tea-time, Jago–who happens to be dressed like Father Christmas when he calls at Paternoster Row–has a charitable act to perform. He intends to put on a magic show for the entertainment of the children at an orphanage and needs some specially impressive new magic tricks or illusions to use.
Strax helps out by taking him to Old Smallpiece's Emporium. The entirely dubious Old Smallpiece happens to be the Sontaran's favorite underworld informant, as well as a merchant of alien artefacts that are out of place in London in the 1890s.
While Mr. Jago is "well versed in alien matters," because of his work with Prof. Litefoot, he seems rather naïve as he chooses a magician's wand and the Top Hat of Surprise (or a "a short-range transmat," as Strax identifies the latter).
Old Smallpiece has a standing arrangement with Madame Vastra that she allows his business to continue as long as she has first dibs on any alien technology he discovers so that she can confiscate anything dangerous before it falls into the wrong hands. But with a dodgy character like Smallpiece, it's no surprise that he doesn't always abide by this agreement. He's holding an auction that very same afternoon.
When Strax brings home a copy of the catalog for this auction, Madame Vastra sees one item in it categorized as a "fossil." She recognizes it as a dangerous creature from her own era, called a gribolite.
Vastra hastens to attend the auction and obtain this item. It seems that half the alien inhabitants of London (a sizable group) are also there, plus one other veiled lady with a Russian accent who tries her best to outbid Vastra; Vastra only wins because she has more money. A successful private consulting detective can bring in a pretty good income.
She brings her purchased gribolite home, where her worst fears are confirmed. The ancient creature is "not as dormant as it seems." A warm environment will bring it back to life–Say, for example, if the box it's in is left sitting carelessly on a hearth before a blazing fire at tea-time.
Jago has brought another guest to tea with him, a young woman named Alice Ayling who claims to be an old friend of the absent professor whom Jago can't recall ever meeting before. Alice is interested in "esoteric flora" and has heard that the famous Madame Vastra has a collection of botanical specimens from prehistoric eras. Vastra does have such a private garden of plants from her own time, which she calls her "Siluretum," but she doesn't let strangers see it. In spite of this, Alice is dying to have a peek (and perhaps pocket a sample or two).
Once the gribolite awakes and escapes, it multiplies at an alarming rate and before you know it, they're all over.
The party is soon separated, with Strax and Jago barricaded in one part of the house, while Vastra and Alice have a confrontation just outside the Siluretum.
Fortunately, Strax has set up a number of defensive weapons to protect Paternoster Row, even ones he never thought he would have an opportunity to use. He's particularly delighted to engage the "most pointless" of all his weapons, one which will flood the cellars of the house with the very best acid.
"Even in my wildest imaginations, I never dreamed I would use this. Yet here we are!"
Unfortunately, Jenny and Old Smallpiece are trapped in the scullery, which is in the cellar. An attempt to rescue them before only leads to Strax and Jago being trapped as well.
As acid begins to seep into scullery and the foursome faces almost certain doom, Vastra is faced with her own dilemma: freezing the gribolites will destroy her Siluretum, the only place that reminds her of the long-ago Earth she once knew. She's ready to do it, but Alice has other ideas.
"The only thing that can save us now is a first-class deus ex machina… That only happens in the theatre."
It's a fast-paced story once the gribolite warms up and gets moving, with a number of amusing lines. Mr. Jago fits in well with the Paternosters and one can believe they are previously acquainted. I especially like the little in-joke where Jago and Strax use the dumbwaiter to escape, referencing a similar incident in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang"; Jago declares that he'll never get into one of those contraptions again.
Alice Ayling's punishment for her desire to steal rare plants seems a bit harsh, but as far as I can tell she doesn't die from it and perhaps she manages to get down after the story ends to celebrate her own happy but repentant Christmas.

Q: How to make a java program that calls upon the methods of another class? One file that has the methods and the other to call upon the methods of the first. The assignment is asking for the user to input some numbers that corresponds to his actual pin.
The pin is 99508 and then each number from 0 to 9 will be represented by a random digit of either 1,2, or 3. so the user will input something like "22312" instead of his actual pin.
Now I think I have the first part done, but I am unsure how to make a second file to call upon the first's methods.
Here is my first file:
    import java.util.Scanner;

    public class Authenticate
    {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

    int[] actual_password = {9, 9, 5, 0, 8};

    int[] random_nums = new int[10];

    int[] entered_digits = new int[actual_password.length];

    for (int i=0; i < 10; i++)
    {
    random_nums[i] = (int) (Math.random() * 3) + 1;
    }

    System.out.println("Welcome! To log in, enter the random digits from 1-3 that");
    System.out.println("correspond to your PIN number.");
    System.out.println();
    System.out.println("PIN digit: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9");
    System.out.print("Random #: ");
    for (int i=0; i<10; i++)
    {
    System.out.print(random_nums[i] + " ");
    }
    System.out.println();
    System.out.println();

    Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println("Enter code.");
    String s = keyboard.next();

    int Index = 0;
    for (int i=0; i<actual_password.length; i++)
    {
    String z = keyboard.next();
    entered_digits[Index++] = s.charAt(0) - '0';
    }
    if (isValid (actual_password, entered_digits, random_nums))
    {
    System.out.println("Correct! You may now proceed.");
    }
    else
    {
    System.out.println("Error, invalid password entered.");
    }
    }

And here is what I have for the demo to use the methods:
    import java.util.Scanner;

    public class AuthenticateDemo
    {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
          Authenticate myAuthenticate = new Authenticate();

    myAuthenticate.genRandomNum();

    System.out.println("Welcome!  To log in, enter the random digits from 1-3    that");
    System.out.println("correspond to your PIN number.");
    System.out.println();
    System.out.println("PIN digit: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9");
    System.out.print("Random #:  ");

            myAuthenticate.printRandomNum();
     }
    }

Now I get errors at the myAuthenticate lines and I am not sure where I got the code wrong. Any help would be greatly

A: One way to call upon the methods of another class is to make sure that the methods in question have a static keyword in their method header. The example is taken from a homework I did in my Computer Science 1 class (I'm a freshman in college, so if someone has a better answer, please answer haha):
A given method using recursion:
public class Homework8Methods{
public static ArrayList<int[]> permuteArray(int[] array) {
    ArrayList<int[]> result = new ArrayList<int[]>();
    permute(result, array, array.length);
    return result;
}

public static void permute(ArrayList<int[]> permutations, int[] a, int n) {
    if (n == 1) {
        permutations.add(a.clone());
        return;
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        swap(a, i, n - 1);
        permute(permutations, a.clone(), n - 1);
        swap(a, i, n - 1);
    }
}

public static void swap(int[] a, int i, int j) {
    int temp = a[i];
    a[i] = a[j];
    a[j] = temp;
}

}
And then in a separate class that had the test cases for this particular problem:
System.out.println("\nPart 3:");
    nums = new int[]{4, 7, 1, 2};
    ArrayList<int[]> perms = Homework8Methods.permuteArray(nums); //Here is where the method is called from the separate class. It goes (ClassName).(MethodName with/without parameters, depending on the method in question).
    System.out.println("permuteArray({4, 7, 1, 2}):");
    // uncomment the following code once you have implemented permuteArray()
    for (int[] array: perms) {
        for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
            System.out.print(array[i] + " ");
        System.out.println();
    }

Hopefully this helps!

A: You can't call non-existent methods of another class. In order to use the myAuthenticate.genRandomNum(); method in the demo class, you need to make a method in the Authenticate class like this:
public int genRandomNum(){
   //code to generate that random number
   return thatNumber;
}

You can access this by saying something like
int randomNum = myAuthenticate.getRandomNum();

It looks like you're just trying to organize the code by putting it in different files. You can't really do that all too well in Object Oriented Programming. The variables that are in the Authenticate class can't be accessed by the AuthenticateDemo class unless 1. they are public and can be returned by myAuthenticate.variableName or 2. they are private and you write an "accessor" method to return the value which can be gotten by writing myAuthenticate.getVariableName()
If you wanted to use the code as you have it right now, you could rewrite the main(String[] args){...} method of Authenticate to something like execute(){...} and call it using myAuthenticate.execute(); This sort of misses the point of Object Oriented though.

'The Daily Show' Correspondent Dulcé Sloan Schools Us On The History of Drag
Editor at Global Grind
Source: Dave Kotinsky / Getty
Comedian, actress and "The Daily Show" with Trevor Noah correspondent Dulcé Sloan is back with another educational segment. This time she's teaching fans about the history of drag. Watch the informative and entertaining clip from the show inside.
The clip shows Sloan giving a recap of how the world of drag performances dates back to ancient civilizations like the Aztecs, Incas and Egyptians. She hilariously recounts, "Basically anybody who could build a pyramid also had a fierce walk." The video goes on to explain how the now popular performance art that is now a widespread phenomenon has been practiced for years in secret.
Before Sloan gives us an in-depth history lesson, read more about the term "drag" below:
The term "drag" refers to the performance of masculinity, femininity or other forms of gender expression. A drag queen is someone who performs femininity and a drag king is someone who performs masculinity. The term may be used as a noun as in the expression in drag or as an adjective as in drag show.
Now, back to the history:
Sloan dives into the history, sharing that during the height of Shakespeare's career men dressed in drag on stage to portray women in certain roles to keep women offstage and in the home. It wasn't until the 18th century that drag performers began to dress in drag for their own enjoyment in the private of these spaces called "Molly" houses.
One particular talent named Princess Serafina is credited as the first drag queen to leave their private Molly house quarters and present in public. During this time, she was considered bold, brave and a trendsetter to say the least.
Dulcé continues to offer a fresh and honest perspective that speaks truth to power and eviscerates the status quo with her compelling and educational content. As a correspondent on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," she continues to prove how sharp and quick-witted she is while providing niche content that is intriguing for their viewers. Sloan, hailed by Variety Magazine as a Top 10 Comedian to Watch, is certainly a fast rising voice in comedy, who's doing the work!
The clip shared to "The Daily Show's" social media account is captioned, "To all the outraged conservatives trying to drag drag through the mud: open a history book." @dulcesloan gives us the history of drag."

ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR DIGITAL EVOLUTION?
These questions will help you to gauge what type of journey your business is on. Is it simply a new website, digital update or training project? Is it actually a business transformation leveraging digital, or are you truly ready to start your Digital Evolution?
See if you can answer the questions below and feel free to get in touch to explore in more depth with our digital strategists (you can read more on Digital Evolution here).
What is digital to you?
The first thing you need to establish is what digital means to your business. For some people digital is all things related to the website and social media, whilst others focus more on IT and infrastructure. Having a common and consistent understanding of what digital means (and encompasses) to your organisation will ensure that everybody is driven towards the same end goal.
Is your team bought into change?
Any Digital Transformation, or better Digital Evolution, process requires buy-in from all levels for success. From the top down, your leaders need to be invested in blazing the trail and welcoming in change as a positive course of action. Whilst, from the bottom up, your whole team (whether tasked with specific 'digital' responsibilities or not) need to understand the value of this change and be willing to collaborate for success.
You need to ignite a passion for digital excellence, creating a supportive digital ecosystem that not only allows for change but maintains a constant flexibility to adapt to the ever-evolving digital landscape. In order to do so, you need to understand what benefits your team perceive from such change and cater to them.
Does your organisation have a long-term outlook?
If it's instant gratification you want, then this process is not for you. Your organisation needs to appreciate the bigger picture and whilst, yes, there will be some quick wins, much activity is part of a longer-term roadmap to success.
It's critical to remember that success is not an end goal, but rather an ongoing state that needs to be nurtured.
Can your business and your people multi-task?
In order to start your Digital Evolution, you will need to be prepared to undergo multiple actions at once. Simply integrating a new back-end system, developing a new website or increasing your budget for PPC is not a Digital Transformation or indeed Digital Evolution, it is just one project or upgrade.
A true Digital Evolution revolutionises the way you operate both internally and externally. Not only do the tools and processes change, but the people and skills, as well as the value created.
What business model do you operate under?
Traditionally businesses embrace models that focus on driving efficiencies, have a hierarchical structure and are based on legacy systems. In order to put digital at your core, you need to transition into a new way of working. At the heart of this new business model is people and collaboration, with a willingness to fail fast, adapt and learn.
Are your people digitally able?
When it comes to digital, people are often assigned responsibilities with no formal training or evaluation. This means that they have to learn on the job or, more gravely, your digital output is not up to scratch. On the surface, many of your team may claim to have high computer literacy and an advanced understanding of digital, but scratch below and you'll discover that this self-assessment may not be overly accurate (as it is based on what is 'known' to them). Outside of this group, you'll likely find a group of individuals who are keen to engage more with digital but don't have the support, knowledge or confidence to do so.
The organisational impact of digital is often overlooked and this is nearly always the biggest point of failure. You can't simply slot your existing team and roles into a new digitally-centric model. In order to embrace true Digital Evolution you must be prepared to invest in your people – upskilling, restructuring and recruiting into key digital roles. Remember, that your people drive your success.
As with all business planning, you need to have a clear understanding of what constitutes success for your organisation. Only then can you measure when this is achieved.
Notably, success needs to be measured across all your assets not just financial returns, focusing on your ability to achieve change, implement new tools and, perhaps most importantly, support the progression of your people. All of these contribute to the value of your organisation and output.
By understanding success, you can then back-engineer your key performance indicators. These then need to be built into your Digital Roadmap, with regular checkpoints and reviews in place.
Do you have leaders who can affect change?
Leadership helps to drive all business success. You need to have the right leaders, with the power to make changes and the confidence to make tough decisions.
It's likely that the easy choice will be the wrong choice. So remember that you are only as strong as your weakest link. If your people are not willing to be key players in this new digital ecosystem, you will not be able to progress.
Sometimes fresh perspective is needed to drive a fresh start.
So, do you think you're ready to start your Digital Evolution?
Everyone learns to walk before they can run. Digital is no different.


In new RealtyTrac numbers, 2015 ended on a high note for foreclosures, and things only got better in January.
In Chicagoland, the metro ranked 35th in the country for foreclosures.
The only areas in the nation with rising foreclosure rates are experiencing localized economic problems.
According to recent data provided by RealtyTrac, the foreclosure crisis in America is well on its way to being over. While there are certainly still pockets where foreclosures are still taking place, the mass casualties are over. Expressed as a percentage of all the homes in the U.S., 0.82 percent of all U.S. housing units (one in every 122) had at least one foreclosure filing in 2015.

Boy You're Going To Carry That Weight
Posted on June 30, 2014 by betsylerner
Is writing genetic? There are certainly writing dynasties and by that I mean Kingsley and Martin Amis, Dorothy and William Wordsworth, The Brontes, the Cheevers, Cheech and Chong. My mother wanted to write. Does that count? My sister is a writer. I think the Safran Foers have seven or eight writers in their family. On the nature/nurture spectrum I gotta say these thighs are from my dad.
Were you born to write?

My dad never wrote anything down, but was an amazing storyteller.
And i've read things his mother wrote, letters mostly, and they are beautiful, lyrical, poetic. I think it's natural for most humans to tell stories, and for many of us to see and feel and know words the way others do music, and those who do, if given the opportunity, become writers.
Unless they're sane. Then they do something else.

I just found out a year ago that I have absolutely no genetic connection to the people who reared me, that I was likely illegally adopted, and so finding my birth parents would be a very difficult and uncertain proposition. But if my mother was anything, she was a storyteller, and a connoisseur of stories. She loved to read the "life stories," biographies authorized and unauthorized, of movie stars and famous people. Growing up in a second-rate motel, you hear a lot of ordinary people's life stories too, even though their anything but dull. So even without a genetic legacy, I was bequeathed something.
Out of sheer insecurity I will correct a typo:
*even though they're anything but dull.
(Did I really need to do that?)
donnaeve, on July 1, 2014 at 8:09 am said:
Ha, no, but I get you. I have to correct myself when I spot these things – or at least point them out via yet another comment, as if to say "yeah, yeah, I know I made a mistake."
Wow! What a mid-life revelation! How are you handling this, TP? You're amazing, not matter what your origin.
It was a shock, but not devastating. Haven't decided if I'm going to track down bio-mom, but if I do, it will only be because I want to make a story of it. I have no desire to find a lost family at this stage of my life. I do plan to get a DNA test to determine what ingredients are in my pot of ethnic soup, though.

My father wrote a wonderful science fiction novel (never published). My brother is published (trade magazines). My mother, well that's the most heartbreaking story. This year on her birthday, while cleaning out my attic, I found her novel which she gave to me to read years ago. I never finished it, we never discussed it and she never wrote again. That I did'nt give it, and her writing a chance, breaks my heart and is one of the greatest regrets of my life.
I am inching my way through it, the writing is wanting, but the story is really good.
I'm trying to figure out a way to do a duo sort of thing, Julie, Julia or something like that but can't come up with a format.
All I know is that I don't want her writing legacy to remain, unknown forever.
Yes Betsy, my DNA is peppered with the profound and profane writing of my mom and dad.
What's interesting is that both of my daughters are amazing writers and don't even know it.
Born to raise a little hell — she's 8 now, going on 16 — and struggle to compassionately understand a world gone quite insane, while at the same time wanting to say fuck you real loud. No knowledge or recollection of anyone in my family writing. Or reading.
Tetman Callis, on July 1, 2014 at 8:10 am said:
Yes. Damn it. I was born in fear and sorrow and determined to get my revenge.
Born to write. As all of us here know, it's not all it's cracked up to be, we wouldn't know what to do without it, and we wouldn't give it up for the world.
A life sentence for a crime we didn't commit.
I think there's a writer in my ancestry, about three or four hundred years back. Clearly a recessive gene.
Were you born to write? IDK, maybe. My mother has written poetry, although her style isn't representative of any of the possible 30+ forms of poetry.
I think she wrote a couple of little short stories too – b/c she used to operate a daycare and she would tell them to the children. And that's the extent of any familial literary endeavors until I decided to try on this writer thing.
Rebecca Taylor, on July 1, 2014 at 8:33 am said:
No one else in my family is a writer. I have letters that my biological, Welsh, schizophrenic father wrote to my grandparents in the 1970s. They are emotional, intense, and very well written. In them, he mentions that he was writing a book titled THOMAS.
So I suppose, if there is one, a genetic writing foundation may have been passed on. Let's hope none of the other issues did.

My grandfather was a prolific screenwriter and one of the founders of the original Screenwriters' Guild. My father was a failed writer/director. He has one IMDB credit to my grandfather's dozens and dozens. He told me once that my grandfather was furious my father's name came before his alphabetically, making him the first Mahin people would see when they Googled. Which can't be true because he died long before the Internet existed, or maybe–probably–I'm just remembering it wrong. Re nature/nurture, I think it was my early and constant exposure to reading, not anything in my DNA, although I do have a lot of their other bad habits.

I've heard that inherited traits skip a generation. I know success isn't heritable (or is it?), but you might have gotten the persistence necessary to achieve it from your granddad.

Seems there were a lot of Hallam's that wrote — and still, I find many w/ the Hallam name on twitter who are writers. My father says he's always wanted to write. I tell him it's not too late. After all, one of our greatest ancestors was written about by Tennyson with: In Memoriam, and Arthur Henry Hallam was a Victorian poet, himself.
Diane Melton, on July 1, 2014 at 1:37 pm said:
My mom, bless her, carried a Shakespearean sonnet in her wallet
("When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes"–that one) until the day she died. She revered the words of poets, and rained them upon me, and seeds germinated…
My (slightly OCD) 5 year old son tells me something new to write down for him every night when we tuck him in. Things like, "Mom, write down that I got a skin knot on my head when I hit it on the piano." (skin knot vs a knot you tie w/ a string, he explained) He's got something new every night. "Mom, write down that dad forgot to get us milkshakes" & one of my personal favorites, "Mom, write down that my poop was green twice today."
I don't know if it's in our genes or if he assumes from our nurturing – or lack thereof – that we should find something worth writing down in each one of our days.
sherrystanfastanley, on July 1, 2014 at 10:09 pm said:
Yes, middle sister and youngest sister (me) are both writers. My mother recently listened to a taped session with a psychic she visited when she was in her early thirties, who told her she should be a writer. She said she might have had a drop of such inspiration once, but she never gave it any serious thought–since she was simply struggling with being a good wife and mother.
And so it goes for so many people. Genetics and talent play a much smaller role in most lives than does reality and practicality.
Victoria, on July 1, 2014 at 10:40 pm said:
Apparently so. Before I could write the letters in the alphabet I was drawing out little stories with stick people in drawing pads that I called my books. No one else in my family writes, likely due in part to their lack of education and love of alcohol and crime. They are, however, all excellent story tellers and lord knows they have stories to tell. It could be that I'm just the only one in the family with the sense to write it all down.

My paternal grandmother wrote poetry. But I only learned that from her eulogy. Otherwise, I think I'm the only writer in my family. Am I a genetic anomaly? A mutant? That would make sense. I have green eyes, too, which I'm told isn't a gene in itself, but a mutation of the blue-eyed gene.
What do get when you cross a brown-eyed Italian with a red-headed Irishman? A green-eyed writer! (Worst joke ever.)

As far back as my great grandparent's generation were hard workers who revered learning. Voracious readers and wry storytellers, they gave me curiosity.
So, I am curious, all right, and a skeptic by inclination and training, and a genetically predisposed smartass. Writing seems a natural result of all that, a way of asking, and maybe, just maybe, getting a glance at an answer before it flies.

Important Facts For Prelims
Smart Anti Airfield Weapon
Quick Facts For Prelims
Defence Technology
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has conducted a successful trial of the indigenously developed Smart Anti-Airfield Weapon (SAAW) off the Odisha coast from the Hawk-I jet of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).
This was the ninth successful test of the system conducted over the last five years.
Background: The system belongs to the glide bomb category and its development began around 2012-13, with crucial inputs from the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the first test was carried out in 2016.
Manufactured by: DRDO's Research Centre Imarat (RCI) Hyderabad.
The weapon is designed to strike ground targets, especially adversary airfield infrastructure or similar strategically important installations.
This is a 125-kilogram class smart weapon, capable of engaging ground enemy airfield assets such as radars, bunkers, taxi tracks, and runways, up to a range of 100 kilometres.
The high precision guided bomb is lightweight compared to weapon systems of the same class.
Other Related Development: The test of SAAW comes months after another weapon system designed to target enemy radar and communication assets, Rudram, was tested in October 2020.
Rudram, an air-to-surface missile, has been developed to primarily to enhance the Suppression of Enemy Air Defence (SEAD) capability of the IAF and can detect, track and neutralise the radar, communication assets and other radio frequency sources belonging to the adversary, which are generally their air defence systems.

I hardly don't read books anymore, I listen to them via Audible. I recently finished listening to Disrupted. It's the story of Dan Lyons working at HubSpot. It gives great insight to working at a startup and the inner workings of investors and IPO's. If you enjoy the HBO series Silicon Valley this is a must read. Dan is actually a writer for that show and the book has much of the same humor. Highly recommended!
Check out the audio book. It's read by Dan Lyons himself, it always adds to the feeling of the story when the author reads his own book.

La mode (ou les modes), et plus précisément la mode vestimentaire, désigne la manière de se vêtir, conformément au goût d'une époque dans une région donnée. C'est un phénomène impliquant le collectif via la société, le regard qu'elle renvoie, les codes qu'elle impose et le goût individuel.

La mode est l'une des plus puissantes industries du monde : elle représente 6% de la consommation mondiale et elle est en croissance constante.

La mode concerne non seulement le vêtement mais aussi les accessoires, le maquillage, le parfum et même les modifications corporelles.
Les facteurs déterminant la mode sont parfois une recherche esthétique (notamment pour les grands créateurs). Néanmoins, la mode est aussi déterminée par d'autres facteurs, pour ceux qui la suivent : un moyen d'affirmer son rang social, son groupe social, son pouvoir d'achat et sa personnalité ; ou bien pour les créateurs qui imitent, un moyen commode de gagner de l'argent et du succès. La mode est un moyen de s'exprimer, une manière d'avoir confiance en soi.

L'une de ses caractéristiques vient de son changement incessant, incitant par là même à renouveler le vêtement avant que celui-ci ne soit usé ou inadapté. On dit que la mode est éphémère. Elle touche tous les milieux et tous les domaines.

Historique

La notion de mode ne saurait être appréhendée sous un angle utilitariste, elle dépasse amplement la nécessité de se vêtir. La mode existe depuis l'Antiquité. Le terme romain « modus » signifie à peu près la même chose qu'aujourd'hui et au Moyen Âge le mot « mode » est déjà présent avec notamment une définition liée à l'habillement, comme aujourd'hui.

Le  marque la naissance des premiers magazines de mode, notamment des gazettes peu illustrées, mais les livres sur la mode sont déjà présents avant. La Galerie des modes et costumes français est ainsi publiée dès 1778. Livres, gravures, poupées de mode pandores sont quelques moyens permettant aux nouvelles tendances de se répandre. Les poupées de France sont des figurines habillées que les dames prennent plaisir à se présenter et à s'échanger entre elles à l'occasion de rencontres afin de découvrir et de faire découvrir la mode qui ne dispose pas encore de canaux de diffusion à grande échelle.

Au début du , les premiers magasins de vêtements à prix réduit voient le jour.

Tous les livres sérieux sur l'histoire de la mode remontent à la plus haute Antiquité, comme Histoire du Costume de François Boucher (1965). Charles Frederick Worth aurait le premier eu l'idée, vers 1858, de faire défiler ses modèles sur de vraies femmes (alors appelées « sosies ») dans des salons où les clientes venaient choisir.

Depuis des siècles, chaque génération possède sa nouvelle mode vestimentaire et ses élégants : fringants, coqueplumets, mignons, précieuses, muguets, petits-maîtres, merveilleuses, incroyables, dandys, gommeux, garçonnes, zazous, branchés, etc..

Le vêtement, lui, est apparu pour des raisons initialement fonctionnelles : de nouveau pour se protéger des intempéries et des agressions extérieures mais également pour protéger son corps du regard des autres en respectant la pudeur et en ménageant les attitudes de séduction. Puis, au fur et à mesure, il a été étoffé, décoré, et accompagné d'accessoires. On va commencer à porter des bijoux, à se maquiller et à se parfumer ; c'est à ce moment qu'on ne parle plus seulement de vêtement, qui a d'abord un but fonctionnel, mais de mode, qui a des fins plus séductrices.

À la fin du , l'essor de la mode est en grande partie lié à trois principaux facteurs constitutifs de la société de consommation contemporaine :
 la production en série, qui permet de dupliquer des articles en grande quantité ;
 la naissance d'une première forme de classe moyenne urbaine résultant de l'exode rural ;
 la diffusion massive de la presse, qui constitue un relai de premier ordre.

La mode est un phénomène multifactoriel. Elle combine des aspects créatifs, médiatiques, industriels et commerciaux, ce qui en fait un élément complexe de la société. Avec le développement des moyens de communications et des transports, toutes les créations dans le domaine de l'habillement sont accessibles à la majorité des gens, tous groupes sociaux confondus.

Depuis le milieu du , la mode s'est petit à petit construit une image de phénomène de société incontournable. Les couturiers, tel Paul Poiret au début du siècle évoqué, puis Madeleine Vionnet, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Hubert de Givenchy, Pierre Cardin et Coco Chanel ou André Courrèges, Nina Ricci et, plus récemment, Thierry Mugler, Giorgio Armani, Gianni Versace, Christian Lacroix, Helmut Lang, Miuccia Prada, Jean-Paul Gaultier ou Tom Ford, sont devenus des personnages publics. Ils se sont progressivement transformés en créateurs de tendances pour les grands noms de la distribution internationale. Leur rôle est ainsi devenu plus proche du public consommateur ordinaire. Le paradoxe restant que leur notoriété les classe parmi les célébrités.

La mode, de nos jours

Conception d'une collection

Dans les pays tempérés, la mode est renouvelée selon un système de saisons couvrant une période de six mois : Automne/Hiver et Printemps/Été. Avant que les collections n'arrivent dans les boutiques, un gros travail d'équipe est fourni. Les collections sont conçues six à huit mois à l'avance.

De plus en plus de compagnies font même jusqu'à quatre collections par an : Automne/Hiver, Holiday (collection des fêtes), croisière ou Early Spring et finalement Printemps/Été. Cela permet d'augmenter les ventes.

La première étape consiste à chercher des indices, à flairer la mode de demain. Avec ce regroupement d'informations, un carnet de tendances est monté, plus communément appelé par son nom anglais « trend book ».

Pour cette chasse aux idées, il existe plusieurs terrains incontournables. Il y a d'abord les salons de mode tels que Première Vision et Tex World à Paris, Pitti Uomo et Pitti Immagine à Florence et à Milan où il y a un nombre incroyable de salons. Il y a aussi les défilés de mode. Mais le moyen le plus accessible est le « lèche-vitrine » et regarder les gens dans les rues. Pour cela, les détails intéressants de vêtements des passants peuvent être photographiés, ou même des fashion buyers vont acheter des vêtements et accessoires dans diverses boutiques.

Ensuite, un compte rendu des différents éléments trouvés est établi, et les regroupements d'idées se mettent en place : les thèmes. Chacun de ces thèmes comprend différentes matières, différentes formes de vêtements et des détails particuliers.

Ainsi, chaque page d'un carnet de tendances sera munie d'un échantillon textile, de dessins techniques détaillés, d'une illustration de mode (figurine) et, éventuellement, de photos références. Ils seront exposés dans les salons de mode des saisons suivantes ou vendus directement à des marques. Ces trend books peuvent anticiper la mode sur deux à trois saisons, c'est-à-dire qu'en automne/hiver 2005, les trend books printemps/été 2006 sont présentés, ceux d'automne/hiver 2006/2007 sont en cours de finition et les recherches pour printemps/été 2007 ont commencé.

Un trend book est un regroupement d'idées, aucune collection n'y est créée. Le styliste l'utilise pour créer sa propre collection en ne s'inspirant que des éléments qui l'intéressent. De manière consciente ou non, il est influencé par les films, les clips vidéo, l'actualité artistique et culturelle, mais aussi la situation économique et sociale les innovations technologiques, et par l'évolution des mœurs et des normes mouvantes.

Exemple de créateurs de trend books : NellyRodi, PeclersParis ou Promostyl (Paris), Les Garçons - 2G2L (Paris) A+A (Milan).

Création

Une fois que les idées et thèmes ont été choisis, les stylistes vont créer leurs collections avec une saison d'avance, voire deux. Il faut sélectionner les idées et tissus définitifs, prévoir les imprimés ou broderies, et les petits accessoires (attaches, boutons, clips, etc.). Ils vont ensuite monter une collection qui comprend comme dans le trend books plusieurs groupes différents. Par exemple, pour un thème sur la magie, une dizaine de pièces (vêtements) sera réalisée avec pour idée la sorcellerie, une autre partie sur les fées, une autre sur les baguettes magiques, etc. Dans une collection, selon l'ampleur de la marque, il peut y avoir deux à six groupes.

Les stylistes s'assurent que la collection est équilibrée (les différents éléments sont coordonnés et il y a un peu plus de hauts que de bas).

Chaque modèle est représenté par un dessin technique indiquant clairement tous les détails, avec une vue de face et de dos, voire de côté quand il a des éléments à préciser.

Une fois ce travail terminé, la présentation sera faite sous forme de dessins techniques accompagnés pour chacun d'un échantillon textile ou de la référence du tissu choisi. Chaque groupe est illustré pour véhiculer l'état d'esprit.

Le modéliste prend à son compte les dessins techniques afin de réaliser un patronage du vêtement. À cette étape se produisent de fréquents allers-retours entre le modéliste et le styliste afin d'ajuster le souhait aux contraintes de la réalité.

Enfin, le modéliste monte les prototypes qui permettent de voir si les modèles ont le rendu voulu. Il est alors encore possible de les améliorer. La partie création est terminée une fois que les dernières modifications sont faites.

De la confection à la commercialisation
Une fois que le patron de chaque prototype a été réalisé par le modéliste, une phase d'industrialisation intervient. Il s'agit le plus souvent du travail du patronnier et du gradeur.

Le patronnier est chargé, à partir du patron comportant les pièces principales du vêtement, de créer l'ensemble des pièces techniques annexes telles que les doublures, certains thermocollants, ainsi que les gabarits de montage.

Le gradeur est chargé de dériver du modèle réalisé dans une taille de référence, la taille de base, un modèle décrit dans toutes les tailles à produire.

Une fois que le patron de chaque modèle a été industrialisé, le vêtement est produit en plus ou moins grande quantité selon la distribution prévue. C'est la « confection de vêtement ». Les vêtements sont ensuite emballés et expédiés dans les différents points de vente.

Certains modèles peuvent avoir été créés spécialement pour un défilé de mode afin de mettre en avant la collection de la marque en question. Dans une collection, environ 20 % des modèles ne seront jamais commercialisés.

Mode et éthique

Pollution
La mode et l'habillement mettent en exergue les inégalités et les paradoxes Nord / Sud.
La plupart des produits textiles sont fabriqués dans le Tiers monde, et particulièrement en Asie. Certains matériaux utilisés sont parmi les plus polluants du monde. La culture du coton, par exemple, utilise 28 % des pesticides mondiaux, alors qu'il ne représente pas plus de 2,5 % des terres cultivées. Cette situation soulève de graves problèmes, tant au regard de l'impact environnemental local qu'au niveau des conséquences humaines et sanitaires sur les populations concernées. D'où des nouvelles alternatives étaient créées comme le concept de la mode éthique.

Travail des enfants
Les industries textiles du Tiers-Monde font largement appel au travail des enfants. Selon l'Organisation internationale du travail, un enfant sur six travaille à travers le monde. Les enfants qui travaillent dans les usines de textile sont exposés aux produits chimiques. Dans l'industrie du tapis ou du tissage, les enfants sont entassés dans des lieux sombres et pollués de poussières de laine. Ils abîment leurs yeux et leurs poumons. Les enfants chiffonniers sont souvent atteints de maladie de peau.

Stylistes et créateurs

Écoles de mode
La mode est devenue aujourd'hui une discipline à part entière, et pour maîtriser cet art, un bon nombre de stylistes sont passés par des écoles de mode. Pourtant, à Paris capitale de la mode, 300 diplômés sortent des écoles spécialisées tous les ans mais moins de dix  resteront sur le devant de la scène.

I know of and play on quite a few servers that want to use this mod, but due to it not being in A3L, they don't bother with it because it makes things difficult for players to join. Hell, servers just want the autopilot script itself in some cases because they can adapt it to the Blackfish so it can be ran like the AC-130.
Do you have a link to the steam workshop?
But I am not sure if A3Launcher grabs files from Armaholic?
Yeah, It's not on the workshop, I'm not sure if it's just because SGT Fuller hasn't put it on there, or if he refuses to do so.
Fair enough, I think you sell your soul to the devil if you upload your mod to Steam.
I remember reading that steam owns the rights to you copyright when you upload your mod.
@maca134 will need to confirm if A3launcher can grab files from armaholic.
This mod was uploaded to steam a while back but the creator wanted it removed so it was taken down if I remember correctly from what I read. @NFGGhost We had this on our PVE server but took it off because it wasn't in A3 launcher.

New fire station provides quicker response times for Gurnee residents
by Woo-Sung Shim October 8, 2021

A new third fire station for the Gurnee Fire Department, Lake County's second busiest fire department, officially opened this week.
Gurnee Fire Department Management Analyst Jodi Luka says that the new fire station, which was put into service Tuesday morning, is located at 5330 Manchester Drive in Gurnee, adjacent to Route 21.
Planning for the new station took several years and the village conducted an analysis to decide on the best location.
The new station is 14,452 square feet and will provide improved response times to calls for service in the village, especially as multiple calls come in simultaneously, Luka said.
In 2019, the Gurnee Fire Department responded to a total of 7,171 calls for service, according to the Lake County Fire Chiefs Association.
That makes the Gurnee Fire Department the second busiest fire department in Lake County, behind the Waukegan Fire Department.

Over the last decade, call volume increased 15%, the village says.
The new station is nearby many residential subdivisions like Heather Ridge and Fairway Ridge.
The location provides quick and easy access to Route 21, Interstate 94 and Route 120.
The station has already responded to numerous calls for service in the past few days, particularly in the south and southeast portions of the Warren-Waukegan Fire Protection District (WWFPD).
Gurnee provides contractual fire protection and emergency medical services to the WWFPD, a relationship that goes back to the 1930s.
Luka says the station is staffed with five firefighter/paramedics and houses two ambulances and one ladder truck.

In March 2019, the village hired six new firefighter/paramedics through the Staffing for Adequate Fire & Emergency Response (SAFER) grant.
The extra staffing helped the village with the increasing call volume and eventually helped with staffing for station 3.

The village partnered with FGM Architects out of Oak Brook and Camosy Construction out of Zion to construct the new station.
Both construction firms specialize in municipal public safety construction, Luka said.
The original bid for the project came in at approximately $6.3 million in 2019.
Station 3 was included in the 2021-2022 capital budget. However, it was one of the expenditures that were delayed in April due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Camosy Construction suggested the village seek additional bids for construction because of construction and supply trends around June.
The village followed the advice and new bids came in at $5.8 million, approximately $500,000 under the original bid.
Despite the pandemic, the construction of station 3 was not affected, Luka said.

Officials will celebrate the grand opening of station 3 with a ribbon-cutting and celebration at 1 p.m. on Wednesday. The public is invited to attend.

"We are proud of this Station and want to thank the community for their constant support. It was hard to move forward with taxpayer dollars during unprecedented times, but the timing couldn't have been better," Fire Chief John Kavanagh said.
"We came in under budget and on time! This station supports the continuing increase of emergency responses and is a much-needed asset to the Village, its residents, visitors and businesses," Kavanagh added.
Mayor Thomas B. Hood said, "While the station was approved and construction started under the leadership of Mayor Kovarik, I am pleased to see the completion and opening take place under my tenure."
"The residents of the Village and Fire District will greatly benefit from this new facility. It will strengthen the already outstanding service the Gurnee Fire Department provides to the community," Hood added.

This simple pea and mint risotto is perfect for spring, made from arborio rice, flavoured with butter, stock, garlic and parmesan and brightened with fresh mint, garden peas and sugar snap peas. It's easy to make and looks as fresh as it tastes.
The recipe is from Marley Spoon, a recipe kit delivery service that makes it easy to cook at home by sending inspiring recipes and fresh ingredients directly to your door, from just £5.50 per meal.
Everything comes pre-measured, so all you need to do is follow the recipe cards, which is easy as they come with detailed instructions and step–by-step photos.
What really makes Marley Spoon stand out from the recipe kit crowd is choice. Each week, you can go online and choose which of the seven recipes on offer that week you'd like to receive, so you get variety, but also control, so there's no danger of receiving a type of dish that isn't to your taste.
So, on with the show. Here's how to make the gorgeous pea and mint risotto.
Wash and pick the leaves from the mint, discard the stalks, and set aside. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Pod the peas (mine came already shelled). Wash the sugar snaps and slice diagonally into three. Grate the parmesan, set aside.
Place the mint and 1/2 tsp salt in a mortar and pound into a coarse paste. If you don't have one at home then finely chop. Add oil and stir. Fill a kettle with 1 litre of water, boil, and pour into a measuring jug. Then add the stock cube, and stir to dissolve.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan on low heat. Add the onion, and sweat for three minutes until translucent. Then add the garlic and the rice for one minutes until glossy.
Add a quarter of the stock, bring to the boil. Turn the heat down to low. Once absorbed, add a ladle of stock at a time, stir continuously. repeat for about 20-25 minutes until al dente. You may not need to use all the stock. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
In the meantime, bring a medium saucepan with salted water to a boil. Add the peas and sugar snaps, cook for one-two minutes. Drain and set aside. Wash the watercress, removing any hard stalks, and set aside.
Stir in the mint paste, cooked veg and half of the grated parmesan. If the risotto is too thick, add a little hot water. Finish with a squeeze of lemon, half of the crème fraîche, remaining parmesan and some watercress. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Here's the recipe for that garden pea and mint risotto again in a printable format.
A fresh tasting risotto with fresh mint, lemon, fresh peas and crunchy sugar snap peas.
Place the mint and 1/2 tsp salt in a mortar and pound into a coarse paste. If you don't have one at home then finely chop. Add oil and stir. Fill a kettle with 1 litre of water, boil, and pour into a measuring jug. Then add the stock cube, and stir to dissolve.
For another tempting minty dish, try this tagliatelle with tomatoes, edamame and mint.
What a super business idea! Sometimes it can be expensive to keep all the ingredients on hand for some dishes, but to have everything pre-measured would be such a convenience and reduce food waste. Lovely recipe too!
That does look like a tasty dish and I really like the choice angle — that's my issue with most similar services.
Such a lovely recipe! I must say I hadn't heard of Marley Spoon until now; loving the recipe kit.

Q: Extract last string with delimiter '/' from a file I have a text file which contains a set of strings in the format of a UNIX PATH. I need to extract the last string from each which is delimited by a '/'.

/Public/Home/Claim Report/Reports/Weekly Not Set/ Weekly Report - Monday

I need to run these on a Windows box, hence need something on PowerShell or batch.
I need help to work out on the script which can allow spaces and special characters also, and which can read a .TXT file and output the complete string in the format below:
/Public/Home/Call/Reports/Weekly Template       C555 Weekly Report - Monday
/Public/Home/Call/Reports/Weekly Template       C567 Weekly Report - Monday

/Public/Home/Claim Repo/Reports/Weekly Set      @Weekly Report - $100 for Monday
/Public/Home/Claim Report/Reports/Weekly Not Set     Weekly Report - Monday

There is a solution which I found in another answer:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20004597/extracting-string-after-last-instance-of-delimiter-in-a-batch-file

The code for it is given as:
for %%a in (%param:\= %) do set lastDir=%%a
:nextParam
   set "param=%~1"
   if not defined param goto endParams
   for %%a in (%param:\= %) do set lastDir=%%a
   echo Last dir: %lastDir%
   shift
goto nextParam
:endParams

Or, in a simpler way (with no spaces restrictions):
:nextParam
   if "%~1" equ "" goto endParams
   echo Last dir: %~N1
   shift
goto nextParam
:endParams

But, I wish to cater for the spaces in the string and the special characters too, which the above does not do.

A: In PowerShell you would do this like so:
Get-Content foo.txt | Where {$_ -match '/'} | Foreach {$_.Substring($_.LastIndexOf('/')+1)}

The Where stage of the pipeline is to filter out empty lines and lines that otherwise do not specify a path.

A: Try this if work
(get-content foo.txt) -replace '.*/'

Explanation: '.*/' : eat all chars until the last position in string and backtrack until it found the first '/'

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSArrayM length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x178059b30'

how do I make xcode give me normal error messages, ones that will tell me where the problem is exactly?

A: That is a normal error message. The system can't tell you more than this.
But with the help of the debugger (exception breakpoints enabled), and a good understanding of Objective-C you should be able to diagnose the problem.
Here is what we know from the exception message:

*

*The unrecognized selector was length. The most common class that has this method is NSString.

*The object that received this method was a NSArray

*After the exception breakpoint was triggered type po 0x178059b30 into the debugger to inspect the array. This content of the array can give you hints to figure out how the problem was caused initially.

*From the debugger position in your code you can see what triggered the bug.

You say your code failed at [_label setText:name].
This method expects a NSString, during assignment a couple of NSString specific methods are called, length is one of these methods. Which confirms point one of our guess.
There are two possibilities:

*

*name is actually a NSArray because you wrote code that assigned the wrong object. This often happens if you don't check the results you get from a dictionary or an array.

*You have a memory problem and name was deallocated prematurely and an array is now where the NSString should be.

To rule out the second option a run of the Analyzer is often enough. It will point out most memory problems.
Another way to decide which of the two is more likely you use the output of po 0x178059b30. If the array holds objects that are related to the expected value of name (e.g. it actually contains name)  there is a high chance that you did assign the wrong object. In this case look where you set name, and put a check around it.
If you use a property you can use something like this to figure out where you assign the wrong object:
- (void)setName:(NSString *)name
     _name = [name copy];
     if (![name isKindOfClass:[NSString class]]) {
         NSAssert(NO, @"Wrong class %@", name);
     }
}

A breakpoint will be triggered when the assigned object is not a NSString instance, and you can inspect the call stack to see where you did something wrong.
Make sure to remove that code after you are done debugging. You MUST NOT use such checks to prevent bugs in your code.
