Municipalities working together on funding application for new airport terminal
WESTERN MANITOULIN – The three municipalities that jointly own the Gore Bay-Manitoulin Airport are applying for funding to replace and renovate the airport terminal building under a new program.
Lee Hayden, reeve of Gordon/Barrie Island township and chair of the Gore Bay-Manitoulin Airport board, told the Recorder, "at this point all we're doing is applying for funding under a government program as we have been led to believe that the airport project should be a prime candidate for funding."
Reeve Hayden pointed out all three municipalities who own the airport, including Gordon/Barrie Island, Burpee-Mills township and the Town of Gore Bay, have passed motions to apply for the funding for the airport instead of applying for funding of individual projects in their municipalities.
Mr. Hayden pointed out the municipalities had been informed by a Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC) representative that an application for the airport terminal building would be a good fit under the funding program.
"We're certainly behind applying for funding for the airport," said Reeve Hayden.
Ken Noland, reeve of Burpee-Mills agreed that, "the three municipalities are going to be applying for funding for a new airport terminal facility. Under the Canada Infrastructure Fund Program-The Rural and Northern Communities provides funding of about 93.67 cents per dollar up to $5 million for a project."
At a Gore Bay council meeting last week, Mayor Dan Osborne told council that under the Canada Infrastructure Fund, "we have been told the funding looks positive for the airport as it provides for a safety aspect as well." He noted LAMBAC will help put together the funding application for the municipalities.
Robbie Colwell, manager of the Gore Bay-Manitoulin Airport told the Recorder, "current operational and customer demands reinforce the requirement for a modern, multi-use air terminal building that will attract more users to our facility and strengthen our appeal to a diverse aviation community. The reward of this project reaches far beyond the airport and will cultivate economic benefits by supporting health and safety, commerce and tourism within the entire region."
"The building can serve as an emergency crisis management centre and will contain many features to deal with a large scale post-disaster occurrence," explained Mr. Colwell. "The airport already has much of the key infrastructure to deal with this type of emergency and the new terminal building will allow us to enhance the deliverables for this situation when it happens. As we continued on our journey for growth and diversification of the airport, our current 72-year-old terminal building has become a limiting factor. The new facility will allow us to keep on track with our long term development plans for the airport."
Under the Canada Infrastructure Program, The Rural and Northern Communities focus is to support transportation priorities in small rural communities. The program has four streams; the funding can go toward road assets, bridges, air infrastructure or marine infrastructure. A criteria assessment includes health and safety, technical merit on how the project improves on reliable transportation infrastructure, funding need, and effi0ciencies through joint projects.

Q: wp_download_url() for dynamically generated image I'm trying to download images from external sites via api (newsapi.org) and use those as thumbnails, using wp_download_url. Although it doesn't work on so-called dynamically generated images, e.g.
https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/w_400,h_400,c_crop,g_face,r_max/w_200/lady.jpg
Is there a way to make it fetch such images too?

A: You can pull down images with PHP if that will work for you. You just need to make sure wherever you are "Putting" the images, needs to have the write permissions.
I got the following snippet of code to work on the image url you placed above.
// Remote image URL
$img_source = 'https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/w_400,h_400,c_crop,g_face,r_max/w_200/lady.jpg';

// Image path
// the tmp/ folder needs to have the correct write permissions.
$img_path = 'tmp/lady.jpg';

// Save image
$results = file_put_contents( $img_path, file_get_contents( $img_source ) );

// returns the number of bytes that were written to the file, or FALSE on failure.
echo '<pre>';
print_r($results);
echo '</pre>';

A: Without more information, it's hard to tell what the reason is, for a specific answer you might want to show your code.
The following uploads the lady to the media library:
$url = 'https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/w_400,h_400,c_crop,g_face,r_max/w_200/lady.jpg';
// $post_id = 0 to not attach to specific post
media_sideload_image( $url, 0 );

If you're outside /wp-admin, you'll need:
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/media.php');
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/file.php');
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php');

Consult the documentation for further information:

Q: How to create a button that "onClick" triggers "click" event on 3 other buttons I have 3 search inputs and 3 buttons, each opens an URL (in a new window) with search engine that searches the strings from the respective input.
What I want is to make one input field (that fill all the other inputs) and one button that on click trigger all the buttons, so on click it will open 3 new tabs/windows.
The problem:
On click trigger works only on the last click event.
I tried to use trigger("click"); or .click();
I tried to make it multiple like that: $("#summon,.goSearch,#scholar").trigger("click"); or like that $(".summon-search-submit").trigger('click'); $(".goSearch").trigger('click'); $(".google-search-submit").trigger('click');
CODE

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    /* copy search to inputs */
    $("input#lb_search").keyup(function() {
        $mySearch = $("input#lb_search").val();
        $('.summon-search-field,#primoQueryTemp,.googleSearchInput').val($mySearch);
    });

    // Make the search
    $(document).on('click', '#start_search', function(e) {

        /* check if one of the checkboxes is checked return true/false */
        $atLeastOneIsChecked = $('input[name="checkbox_lb"]:checked').length > 0;

        if ($atLeastOneIsChecked == false && $(lb_search).val() != '') {
            $("#summon")[0].checked = true;
            $(".summon-search-submit").trigger('click');
        }

        if ($atLeastOneIsChecked == true && $(lb_search).val() != '') {

            if ($('#summon').is(':checked')) {
                $(".summon-search-submit").trigger('click');
                alert('summon');
            }
            if ($('#primo').is(':checked')) {
                $(".goSearch").trigger('click');
                alert('primo');
            }
            if ($('#scholar').is(':checked')) {
                $(".google-search-submit").trigger('click');
                alert('scholar');
            }
        }
    });
});

<input name="lb_search" id="lb_search" type="search"><button id="start_search">search</button><input type="checkbox" name="checkbox_lb" id="summon" value="Summon" checked=""><input type="checkbox" name="checkbox_lb" id="primo" value="Primo"><input type="checkbox" name="checkbox_lb" id="scholar" value="Google Scholar">

your JavaScript
$(document).ready(function() {
  $("input#lb_search").keyup(function() {
    $mySearch = $("input#lb_search").val();
    $('#summon_search, #primo_search, #scholar_search').val($mySearch);
  });

  $(document).on('click', '#start_search', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    if ($('#summon').is(':checked') || $('#primo').is(':checked') || $('#scholar').is(':checked')) {
      if ($('#summon').is(':checked')) {
        $("#summon_form").submit();
      }
      setTimeout(function() {
        if ($('#primo').is(':checked')) {
          $("#primo_form").submit();
        }
      }, 1000);
      setTimeout(function() {
        if ($('#scholar').is(':checked')) {
          $("#scholar_form").submit();
        }
      }, 300);
    }
  });
});

From your comments, I agree that we can't do triggers one after one. The answer I have provided is not the best solution but if you do wanna achieve it, you can do it with setTimeout function. This is just a way around of getting your desired outcome.


The wage gap between emerging and advanced economies is closing fast, according to a report by accountancy firm Price Waterhouse Cooper.
The reality is that the Bible prophecies the rise of Europe and that it will dominate the world economic scene. The Bible teaches that this Babylonian European Beast will causes the world to prosper (Revelation 18).
But I believe that part of why this will happen will more be because of technological developments in Europe (see European technology plans) than it will from relative wage differences–though such wage differentials will likely help. Europe is on the leading edge of various technological projects for the world (GALIEO, LHC, FAIR), and has a highly educated work force.
Notice that the military power of the Beast was something that the world will marvel, be astonished about. Why? Because no one really thought that the European Beast power had the military ability to defeat the U.S.A. with its Anglo-allies (Daniel 11:39), and then the Islamic King of the South (Daniel 11:40-43).
Technology would seem to be the key to a powerful European military, as well as likely its future economic dominance. One aspect could include particle collider research. The number of colliders in the U.S.A. has dwindled down to one under the Obama and Bush Administrations, and the remaining one is facing budget cuts and possible closure. Yet, in Europe, it now has the leading one in the world, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and in 2012, Germany announced that it is planning a possibly even more advanced one called FAIR (FAIR stands for the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research).
I believe that Germany's FAIR, along with the LHC and other technology and research programs, will help the Europeans produce military weaponry to fulfill certain end time prophecies. Since Revelation 13:4 is discussing what seems to be a unique type of warfare, this warfare likely includes certain high-tech weapons (electromagnetic pulse, neutron, unique delivery systems, etc.) that will be effective for a while (ultimately the Europeans will be overcome by what appears to be a Russian-led, mainly Asian, confederation, cf. Jeremiah 50:41-43 & Daniel 11:44, possibly by exploiting some technological flaw, like creating a software virus, etc., while also amassing troops, etc.). The FAIR and the LHC projects are also likely to spin-off economic benefits that may help propel Europe to be (for a short while) the economic leader of the world (cf. Revelation 18).
While the U.S.A., Australia, and others are currently worried mostly about China (see video Is China THE Threat to the United States of America?), the European developments will not be good for the Anglo-descended lands, including England.
Europe is moving forward with its research, space, and military plans and few in the USA seem to realize that when it gets enough power, the USA will lose all of its.
The Bible warns of a time of trouble for the Anglo-nations (Jeremiah 30:7) and that they will be taken over by a European power (Daniel 11:39; Isaiah 10:5-11). Many events are lining up for this to happen.
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse What do each of the four horseman of the Apocalypse represent? Have they began their ride? Did Jesus discuss the any of this? Might their rides coincide with the "beginning of sorrows? Do they start their ride prior to the Great Tribulation? Did Nostradamus or any other 'private prophets' write predictions that may mislead people so that they may not understand the truth of one or more of the four horseman which has ties to Europe? There is also a related YouTube video titled The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Is China THE Threat to the United States of America? China is the world's most populace nation. China has the world's largest standing military. China is a major economic power and it holds a lot of U.S. debt. China also has problems with corruption, pollution, and its hukou registration system. Will China face civil unrest? Is China prophesied to be wealthy in the end times? Will China takeover the U.S.A. or will it be another power? What does Bible prophecy reveal?

In 1976, Lambert Castle became a historic landmark; it's currently a museum of the city's industrial past.

UNIVERSAL ISSUES / Turkish media releases incredibly ambitious "Five States, One Nation" map

Turkish media releases incredibly ambitious "Five States, One Nation" map
On December 27th, Turkish outlet Haber TV released a map showing a "friendship plan" for what they refer to as the "Turkic world."
The map that shows the "friendship plan" is … ambitious, at the least.
It is interesting how it will be turned into reality, but the report doesn't go far enough to elaborate on that part of the plan.
This report was made following statements by retired Russian Lieutenant General Leonid Ivashov on December 20th.
According to him, Official Ankara is expanding its influence on the former lands of the Ottoman Empire and considers Crimea as a former territory.
Ivashov is the former head of the Main Directorate of International Military Cooperation of the Russian Defense Ministry and he spoke on the air of the Roy TV Internet channel.
"Turkey at the official level with the Zelensky government is negotiating just about the problem of Novorossiya and the problem of Crimea. Moreover, Turkey talks about Crimea as if neutrally, not recognizing it as Russian, but at the same time does not promise to return it to Ukraine. That is, it is playing its game," said the general.
According to Ivashov, Turkish official documents state that Crimea is the former territory of the Ottoman Empire.
"So we see that it will not end only with Karabakh. But the movement to Central Asia and the activity shown there by third-level officials, and so on," the retired colonel-general noted.
Ivashov stressed that in Turkey at the state level they are working with Ukraine both in Crimea and Donbass.
According to Haber TV, the Russians are scared by the "five states – one nation" concept and that this project is underlined by the many cooperation agreements Turkey has signed with nations such as Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan.
The initial plan was a two-state, one-nation project between Turkey and Azerbaijan but it is rapidly spreading.
And then, the map shared by Haber TV provides some quite significant claims that cover large parts of Caucasus, Crimea, a very large part of Central Asia, about 1/3 of the territory of Russia, and even China, in addition to parts of Syria, Iraq, Iran and more.
How that could actually happen in reality, remains a mystery.
According to Haber TV, Russian media are concerned because of the plethora of military deals that Turkey has signed with the countries, and namely – Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.

It's that time of year — winter gourds! Of course, you can find some squash year-round, but they're definitely more affordable right now. I absolutely love the texture of cooked spaghetti squash, even more than actual spaghetti. But then again, I always used to like my noodles al dente.
Spaghetti squash and marinara sauce.
One smallish squash (the ones we got were a little over 2 pounds, raw) makes 3 or 4 servings of cooked noodley goodness (depending on your serving size). That's perfect for dinner for two and some leftovers for lunch.
We cut the squash in half lengthwise (some do it widthwise) and dug out all the seeds and seed-holding goo, like when you carve a pumpkin. (And like a pumpkin, you can roast the seeds.) I rubbed the insides with a little olive oil, sprinkled on some salt and pepper, and put them cut-side down on non-stick foil. I also made a couple of little foil wads and propped up one end of each piece, so air could circulate and the squash wouldn't hermetically seal itself to the foil (even with non-stick, it can get a bit sticky).
When that hour was nearly up, I got out the fry pan and sautéed some onions. Once they got soft, I tossed in a whole can of diced tomatoes, liquid and all. Some salt, pepper, basil (wish I had fresh, but dried had to do), thyme, oregano, and some chopped garlic near the end. It reduced at a simmer for about 10 minutes while the squash cooled to a point where I could handle it.
When the squash is cooked right, all you need is a fork. Scrape the tines of the fork across the meat of the squash, and it comes apart into spaghetti-esque strands. The first time you do it, it's the coolest thing. Every time after, it's stil pretty darned cool. Divvy up the strands, top with sauce, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Delicious!
Nutrition-wise: a cup of cooked squash (155 grams) has 45 calories; 10 grams of carb, 2 of which are fiber; and 1 gram of protein. But for those carbs, you're getting a good dose of vitamins C, B6, niacin, and potassium. And for those of you who swing the other way, it's also very low-fat (0.3 grams for that one serving).
Next time, I think we'll try this with Alfredo sauce. Homemade, of course.

Business Daily: Cannabis in the USA: An illegal tax-paying business on Apple Podcasts
America's cannabis industry is worth tens of billions of dollar and it generates tax revenues and jobs. But it is barred from accessing most financial services. This is because, while legal in an increasing number US states, cannabis remains illegal at a federal level. We hear what it's like running a cannabis business from Ken Churchill of the West Coast Cannabis Club in California. Emily Dufton, author of Grass Roots: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Marijuana in America, explains how the US went from "Just Say No" in the 1980s to yes now. And Robert Hoban, a lawyer who specialises in cannabis, explains why two currently empty Georgia Senate seats could determine whether the Biden administration can fulfil its pledge to decriminalise cannabis.

We keep getting caught with dropping the early bits on a flash drive to load an OS. It's not hard to figure out as soon as the server boots from the USB flash drive as it requests an Activation Key.
Note the date stamp above is August 30, 2013. That is the Open bits that will not prompt for a key.
This issue is by no means business critical or threatening to bring down a Hyper-V Cluster or the like.
Note how there is a Check Mark that seemingly indicates the full Role feature set has been installed.
It seems to us that since there are features within that Role that have not been installed the top level indicator should be the same as the one beside File and iSCSI Services (Installed) no?
This may be a minor thing, but most certainly indicators should indicate the correct status.
We don't have a Windows Server 2012 R2 version up and running right now so can't compare the two. Hopefully this little oversight has been fixed in the soon to be released product.


Lance has been waiting his whole life for the day he got to study the merfolk up close. It's a dream come true to finally see the mystical creatures in person and he can't wait to make new discoveries. Including love, perhaps?
Keith's been dreading this migration ever since he became of age. Looking for a mate has never appealed to him and he doesn't expect that to change. He's too strange and different from the others. He would never strike another mer's fancy. But maybe...he'd strike a human's interest instead?
Born a human, raised as an Asgardian. Nameless, cast out of a society that wanted nothing to do with you. You, a child who ate an apple of Idunn and survived. Mute, cursed, you survived Hela, survived Ragnarok, Thanos, The Snap- and now on earth you face a new life mired by your old.
A relic of time, a human who does not belong among them. An abomination, an Asgardian who does not belong among the Aesir. In your eyes is a sorrow, a heart song of pain and suffering that you must sing in silence. To all who look on you, they see a woman, but to Loki he sees a mystery.
A woman who smiles softly as her soul weeps in silence.
Of course the hot guy Shad met on the beach that didn't think he was immature or barmy for believing in mermaids was one of the merfolk.
By Night one way, by day another.
Until you find true love's first kiss.
And then take love's true form.
By day he is human, but a mermaid at night. He is locked in a tower at sea until his one true love Todoroki is old enough and ready to come to his rescue. But the Prince is too late, Izuku finds friendship in his tower. And the land prince must fight the prince of the sea to even get his hands on the cursed prince.
"I understand, tragic lovers are a common theme in many popular stories." As he spoke he opened the satchel and removed nine gold colored spheres from the bag. Placing each around the cushion he sat on in a circle.
"If I may." He said his eyes coming to rest on his other two guests although his question was directed at the Sultan, "Have you hear the story of the Raven and the Valkyrie?"
"In fact I have, it is indeed tragic."
"It is, how about the story that came before? That of the Fairy King and his Wager?"
"Then with your permission..." His hand came to rest on the last sphere he'd placed as he spoke.
He smiled and twisted his wrist sending the orb spinning, a hum emanating from it. It began to glow and the other eight responded in the same way. All nine rose and began to drift in orbit around the storyteller who had begun to float above the cushion he had sat on. And his story began.
Brendon is a mermaid who has been watching the most beautiful human he's ever seen from the warm waters of the ocean. He's convinced himself he's in love, so in order to be with his True Love he makes a deal with a sea witch, exchanging his voice for a pair of legs. On land, he finds himself swooped up by none other than Ryan himself, but he only has a month to get True Love's kiss from his human. Can he do it, or will he be thrown back into the sea, cursed to be the slave of a witch forever?

Township Accessibility Training
Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act: Training Resources
The Township of South-West Oxford has responsibilities under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA). The AODA was passed in 2005 with goal of the legislation to make Ontario accessible for people with disabilities by 2025. The province has developed mandatory, province-wide standards to achieve this goal and improve accessibility throughout the Province. In accordance with the legislation, the Township has a responsibility to train all full and part-time staff, members of Council, volunteers, and third-party contractors on the requirements of the AODA, providing accessible customer service, and how the AODA relates to the Ontario Human Rights Code.
The Township has prepared an Accessible Customer Service training brochure for all volunteers and third-party contractors that perform work on behalf of the Township. Providing accessible customer service generally consists of the following principles:
Services need to be provided in a way that respects the dignity and independence of people with disabilities;
Goods and services should be provided to persons with disabilities in a way that is integrated unless an alternate measure is temporarily or permanently and absolutely required to enable the individual to obtain, use, or benefit from the good or services; and
People with disabilities must be given an opportunity equal to that given to others to obtain, use, and benefit from the goods and services.
The Township's Accessible Customer Service training brochure reviews best practices with respect to providing customer service to persons with physical disabilities, speech or language disabilities, deaf or hard of hearing, blindness, mental health, and intellectual or learning disabilities. It also reviews the use of assistive devices, service animals, and support persons by some individuals.
View the Township of South-West Oxford Accessibility Training Brochure.
Ontario Human Rights Code: Video Series
In addition to the requirements of the AODA, the Township is required to provide training on the Ontario Human Rights Code as it relates to the AODA. The Code is intended to protect people from discrimination in specific situations which include: employment, housing, services, unions, and vocational associations and contracts. Under the Code, individuals have the right to be free from discrimination in five parts of society – which are referred to as social areas – based on one or more grounds. The five social areas are: employment, housing, services, unions, and vocational associations and contracts.
Discrimination based on 17 different personal attributes – which are called grounds – is against the law under the Code. The grounds include: citizenship, race, place of origin, ethnic origin, colour, ancestry, disability, age, creed, sex/pregnancy, family status, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, receipt of public assistance (within the social area of housing), and record of offences (within the social area of employment).
Individuals have the right to be free from discrimination when they receive goods or services, or use facilities, that are provided by local governments. The Ontario Human Rights Code and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act work together to ensure that persons with disabilities have the right to equal treatment in accessing services such as those provided by local businesses and municipalities.
Watch the following short video series to understand how the Code and AODA work together:
Part 1: Introduction.
Part 2: The Code.
Part 3: Understanding the Duty to Accommodate.
Part 4: Applying Human Rights Principles.
Part 5: Compliance and Enforcement.

well, anyone that knows me will say that I don't wakeboard much at all and am not very good at it, but I do strap the board on a time or 2 each season. last night was my first run of the year for all of 10 minutes or so. hit the lake in a buddies Mondo that he picked up earlier this summer. I certainly don't have a lot of experience behind many different boats, but it is BY FAR the best wake I have ridden behind. he only has the factory setup and I was very impressed at how clean the wake was. there were 8 total, so 7 adults in the boat(for a 20+ft boat, it was not cramped at all). did have to adjust one person to get one side of the lip cleaned up but once done, it stayed very clean. for a noob, it was a tad intimidating. riding up the wake, it really seemed to have a lot of launch to get you up into the air. I would like to progress to clearing the wake and feel with a few more sessions on this boat, it would be easy to do.
kudos to SC for the hull design on this boat. it works very well.
when it was the owners turn to ride, he turned the wheel over to me. I enjoyed the drive. easy gauges to read, ergos' are very good at the helm. my only complaint was sitting low in the seat. it felt very low in the boat. I don't know if the bolster was up as I was more focused on his wake and ensuring he got a good ride, so perhaps the bolster would put my sight lines higher but it felt very low to the floor. his has the 409 in it and I don't think I was ever more than half-3/4 throttle to pull him up and the boat felt like it was moving effortlessly. the engine is a ton of power in that boat..
he doesn't have it set up for surfing yet. it will be interesting to see how the surfwave is once he gets some larger rear bags and an ibs. not sure he's in a hurry yet as he's able to get some surf time on our boat whenever he wants.
anyone considering the mondo from a boarding standpoint should not hesitate to pull the trigger..

How much money does it cost to join? Is it free, freemium, or a paid application? Does the app exist on an app store and how well-reviewed is it? What kind of a budget are you on, and does this service fit into it? What does this service do to protect its users? Are profiles screened, conversations monitored, and abuse reports taken seriously?
How strict are you about safety? And how much do you care about fake profiles? How narrowly do you want to filter down your dating options?
Does the app cater to a specific identity ex. specifically for lesbians or transgender people or is anyone with an open mind and sexual preference welcome to join? You can look for the most selective one out there to really tailor your dating experience, opt for a broader gay online dating app and see what or who you might find, or pick one with a specific intention like hookups only, serious relationships, or casual "situationships".
Some apps cater to all of these. There are plenty of options out there, and the choice is yours to make. Still, there are some dangers out there, like people using fake profiles to catfish, online dating scams, and sexual violence on dates. As long as you take some precautions and seek out the red flags, online dating sites can be both fun and safe. So what can you do to stay safe on free gay dating sites? Just open an app, swipe right or tap on someone you like, and you're good to go.
However, it's important to remember you're more exposed to dangers these days, whether it's catfishing or financial scams. Don't share too much personal information on your profile for everyone to see. Revealing details like your full name, your phone number, or where you work can leave you exposed to people with bad intentions.
On your profile, it's best to focus on the basics - like your interests without revealing too much and why potential matches would want to date you. Dating apps are full of catfishes and fake profiles. Protect yourself by screening matches via FaceTime or video calls before agreeing to meet in person. Some gay dating apps also have a screening process and extra safety features you can use to make sure you're not conversing with someone behind a fake profile.
If your match is reluctant to show their face even though you've shown them yours, that's a red flag they might be catfishing. Dating scams are on the rise, and it's important to be particularly mindful of who you're giving your personal information to online. Scammers troll dating apps to score money from unsuspecting daters. To avoid personal identity theft and financial scams, never send money or give out your financial information bank details, credit card info, etc.
Even if someone gives you a seemingly a good reason for why they need money, this is likely just a ploy to get money out of you. Another serious threat you need to be on the lookout for is sexual harassment or assault. Following these basic rules can help you stay safe:. Ready to dive into the dating pool? Before you do, consider these three expert tips to help you navigate those choppy waters as smoothly as possible:.
This will help set the tone for both parties. Basically, you want to avoid getting ready for a sexy night of passion when the other person is simply hoping to grab coffee then head home after. Whether you're looking for a relationship or just a fun hookup, before making it a date it's important to familiarize yourself with the person you're talking to.
If you detect any sign that they're not honest with you, that they don't respect your boundaries, or that their intentions aren't aligned with yours, it's best to follow your gut and pull the plug. This includes being honest and open about sharing your last STI tests and results prior to heading to the bedroom.

How strict are you about safety? And how much do you care about fake profiles? How narrowly do you want to filter down your dating options? Does the app cater to a specific identity ex.
specifically for lesbians or transgender people or is anyone with an open mind and sexual preference welcome to join? You can look for the most selective one out there to really tailor your dating experience, opt for a broader gay online dating app and see what or who you might find, or pick one with a specific intention like hookups only, serious relationships, or casual "situationships".
Some apps cater to all of these. There are plenty of options out there, and the choice is yours to make. Still, there are some dangers out there, like people using fake profiles to catfish, online dating scams, and sexual violence on dates.
As long as you take some precautions and seek out the red flags, online dating sites can be both fun and safe. So what can you do to stay safe on free gay dating sites? Just open an app, swipe right or tap on someone you like, and you're good to go.
However, it's important to remember you're more exposed to dangers these days, whether it's catfishing or financial scams. Don't share too much personal information on your profile for everyone to see. Revealing details like your full name, your phone number, or where you work can leave you exposed to people with bad intentions. On your profile, it's best to focus on the basics - like your interests without revealing too much and why potential matches would want to date you.
Dating apps are full of catfishes and fake profiles. Protect yourself by screening matches via FaceTime or video calls before agreeing to meet in person. Some gay dating apps also have a screening process and extra safety features you can use to make sure you're not conversing with someone behind a fake profile.
If your match is reluctant to show their face even though you've shown them yours, that's a red flag they might be catfishing. Dating scams are on the rise, and it's important to be particularly mindful of who you're giving your personal information to online.
Scammers troll dating apps to score money from unsuspecting daters. To avoid personal identity theft and financial scams, never send money or give out your financial information bank details, credit card info, etc. Even if someone gives you a seemingly a good reason for why they need money, this is likely just a ploy to get money out of you.
Another serious threat you need to be on the lookout for is sexual harassment or assault. Following these basic rules can help you stay safe:. Ready to dive into the dating pool? Before you do, consider these three expert tips to help you navigate those choppy waters as smoothly as possible:.
This will help set the tone for both parties. Basically, you want to avoid getting ready for a sexy night of passion when the other person is simply hoping to grab coffee then head home after. Whether you're looking for a relationship or just a fun hookup, before making it a date it's important to familiarize yourself with the person you're talking to. If you detect any sign that they're not honest with you, that they don't respect your boundaries, or that their intentions aren't aligned with yours, it's best to follow your gut and pull the plug.
This includes being honest and open about sharing your last STI tests and results prior to heading to the bedroom. Get tested between partners, discuss preferred barrier methods like condoms, dental dams, etc.
Clear communication is sexy, and safer sex is better sex! Whereas some are entirely free, others are freemium, and the rest are totally paid.
Free dating apps are ones that let you create and account for free, and have enough free features so you can date on the app without having to pay.

Change of date - Zoom talk by Prof. Martin Millett on Aldborough Roman town, Yorkshire
Monday, 6 December, 2021 - 19:30
The village of Aldborough near Boroughbridge in North Yorkshire is the site of Isurium Brigantum, once one of the most important towns in Roman Britain and the 'capital' of the Romanised Brigantes, the largest tribe in Britain at that time.
Professor Martin Millett, Cambridge University, together with Rose Ferraby, has led the Aldborough Roman Town Project since 2009. The resulting large scale geophysical survey has uncovered a pattern of planning, with major hillside terracing and grand houses with sophisticated design and decoration, suggesting a place of more significance and interest with a distinctive character of its own than had previously been thought. Martin has recently published, with Rose Ferraby, a small English Heritage book on Isurium Brigantum.
Professor Millett will elaborate on the project and its aim to better understand Isurium Brigantum's origins, development and its role in the social, political and economic scene of Roman Britain.
Members of RSG will be sent a Zoom link the week before the meeting. If you would like to attend this talk, and are a member of SyAS but not yet a member of Roman Studies Group, you can join for a year for £5.
You can either join online at https://www.surreyarchaeology.org.uk/membership/join/RSG or by post (details and downloadable form on the RSG home page https://www.surreyarchaeology.org.uk/content/roman-studies-group

The Big C: Hereafter "You Can't Take It With You" Review
The Big C: Hereafter
by Carissa Pavlica May 6, 2013 11:02 pm 289 views0
It's been two months since Cathy stopped her treatment and her tumors have continued to grow. She's still in therapy and feisty as ever. For someone who is worrying about whether her husband will remarry and suffering paralysis because of where her tumors are pressing on her brain, she was kind of acting a bit too normal.
When her therapist tells her to expect a curve ball, you can't help but wonder just how curvy that ball will be.
What the hell was Isaac Mizrahi doing on The Big C? Not so much why was he on the show, but why were we lead to believe he would ever teach at a local college level for a ten student fashion course? That made no sense to me whatsoever. But, later it works so I'll let it go.
Sean and Cathy have had such a strange and fun relationship during the last three seasons, and when she finally got him to admit he was growing his beard out and wanting to wish on falling stars in the hope that she might live it was one of the most touching moments they've spent since she first got him off the streets.
Cathy admitting outright that she's dying was more difficult for me to take than it was for Cathy. She's giving everything away to prepare everyone her for the future without her in it, but they aren't as ready as she is, either. Cathy talks Paul into realizing she knows him better than he does himself, and how much he needs her to find someone after she passes. They have the greatest sex ever and immediately following she sees he has hits on the profile she made for him after he's dead. Crazy, right?
Adam's "date" with Lydia was strange, at best. Books about vaginas strewn around the bed and reports about the best chances for orgasm didn't make it seem all that exciting, and even Adam knew sex should be exactly that for her – not just something to get out of the way. When he passed his test and they met in the hall, realizing they really were attracted to each other, it was a perfect moment for her to lose her virginity. Like she said, I'll always remember that.
Andrea's struggles with Mr. Mizrahi at the fashion school lead to him giving her pointers in using the Egyptian's fascination with death and glitz to capture her own fashion sense, and it resulted in Cathy asking Andrea to make the dress she designed as her funereal dress.
The relationship with Andrea has also been all over the map since she was first introduced, and her induction into the family has been one of the most amazing aspects of The Big C. I can't imagine the Jamisons without Andrea, but she couldn't be a more unlikely daughter. It's fabulous.
With Paul finally settling down and spending time with Cathy instead of running away, it was dead giveaway that something had to give. That curve ball was coming her way. After a night of sleeping together in bed, something Cathy and Paul hadn't done in months, he awoke happy and content and Cathy had no idea who he was. She was making breakfast and understood the generalities of life, but the tumors were now pushing on an area that left her wanting for those she loved.
There are simply not enough shows on television that explore the realities of death and dying like we have been able to witness though The Big C. Of course it's not always been a perfect exploration and some of the decisions Cathy has made along the way have been far out. But they were her decisions and none of us will ever know what ones we'll make until we get there ourselves.
Two episodes to go until this truly wonderful look at a woman's battle with life comes to an end. I'll be here to hold your hand.

Weaned on television, it has been my great passion from the first time I was able to turn it on. Some of my on air favorites include Supernatural, Parenthood and Homeland, and newcomer Chicago Fire has seized my heart.

Sen. Mitch McConnell to meet with 9/11 first responders on victim fund
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday said that it was good that McConnell agreed to meet with 9/11 responders, but that the GOP leader needs to promise to make funding permanent
Laura Figueroa Hernandez
WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is scheduled to meet with a group of 9/11 first responders — including three Long Islanders — on Tuesday as they continue to press Congress to permanently fund the federal government's 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.
John Feal, founder of the Nesconset-based FealGood Foundation, which advocates on behalf of the first responders, said the 4 p.m. meeting was weeks in the making, long before McConnell faced a new wave of criticism last week for not immediately committing to an extension of the fund that is set to expire next year.
The House Judiciary Committee passed bipartisan legislation to reauthorize the bill earlier this month, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has expressed support for the bill and indicated the measure could come up for a full floor vote in July. (Photo/ Pixabay)

"Mitch McConnell has the chance to do the right thing … he has the chance to make our worst day, our worst week and our worst 18 years and make it his finest hour," said Feal, who lost his foot while working among the rubble of Ground Zero.
McConnell's office did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment, but earlier this month, when asked about renewing the $4.6 billion federal program, he told reporters: "Gosh. I haven't looked at that lately. We've always dealt with that in a compassionate way, and I assume we will again, but I haven't looked at it lately."
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday said that it was good that McConnell agreed to meet with 9/11 responders, but that the GOP leader needs to promise to make funding permanent.
"Leader McConnell must come out of that meeting with a commitment to John Feal and all the families and victims who rushed to the towers in those fateful days after 9/11 that we will fully and permanently fund the victims' compensation," Schumer said at an unrelated news conference in Bethpage.
Schumer added: "We are pushing it hard. I believe that the president will sign it. All we need is leader McConnell to put it on the floor of the Senate right after it passes the House, and it will get done."
Feal, who was among the first responders who joined comedian Jon Stewart at an emotional House Judiciary Committee meeting on June 11, said passing legislation to permanently reauthorize the Victim Compensation Fund was necessary to ensure first responders who have grappled with high rates of cancer and respiratory diseases can "live the rest of their lives with dignity." In February, a special master appointed to oversee the fund said the fund was running short on money, and warned that future payments to first responders could be slashed by 50 percent.
The House Judiciary Committee passed bipartisan legislation to reauthorize the bill earlier this month, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has expressed support for the bill and indicated the measure could come up for a full floor vote in July.
Stewart, the former host of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," took aim at McConnell after the hearing, criticizing the Republican leader for delaying past attempts to renew the fund.
"In terms of getting the 9/11 bills passed, Mitch McConnell has been the white whale of this since 2010," Stewart said during a June 16 appearance on "Fox News Sunday." "This has never been dealt with compassionately by Sen. McConnell. He has always held out until the very last minute and only then, under intense lobbying and public shaming, has he even deigned to move on it."
President Donald Trump, in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday, said "we'll see what happens," when asked if he planned on pressing McConnell to renew the fund.
"You know it's a very complicated subject for a lot of reasons," Trump told "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd of the fund that was last renewed by lawmakers in 2015 and is set to expire in 2020.
Trump said he planned to hold a meeting on the subject "next week." The White House Press Office did not respond to questions seeking details about the meeting.
Feal said retired FDNY firefighters Kenny Specht and Michael O'Connell, who also hail from Long Island, will be among the first responders who will meet with McConnell.
"We're not letting up," Feal said

If you go into the restroom at the Javitz Center during New York Comic Con this weekend, you might see something peculiar: On the inside of the stalls are signs resembling graffiti that say "Nolite te bastardes carborundorum."
Well, that's not exactly accurate. You'll only see it if you're in the women's restroom — not in the men's restroom.
The graffiti appears to be part of Hulu's marketing campaign for "The Handmaid's Tale," their upcoming television series inspired by Margaret Atwood's novel about a dystopian society where the female gender has been completely oppressed and fertile women are treated like objects. The text is a secret subversive phrase spread throughout the novel that translates, in psuedo-Latin, to "Don't let the bastards grind you down."
"The Handmaid's Tale" is still currently in production for a 2017 release date, so the show doesn't have much of a presence at the convention beyond these cryptic bathroom signs. But make no mistake, this is a brilliant way to spread the show's message directly to its target audience — and in a space that, despite the best efforts of geeky women and activists alike, is still considered very male-dominated.
Don't let the bastards grind you down, indeed.

I was a bit discouraged earlier. I started my day as usual working on my Myspace campaign, doing the obligatory thank yous- because really no one has to add, so why not be courteous about it. During the course of this action, I ran across a quote that I really like: -------------"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?... Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do... It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we subconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." (Marianne Williamson, author, from A Return To Love, 1992.) I like it, because it rings so true to me. I have always known that I was meant to do great things, but I would shrink back for the sake of others. I have to stop doing that because if you do it too long you begin to believe that you are just meant to be right where you are, and you start saying things like "It is what it is" - I say that way too much.
Thing is, my little project (Myspace) has not been moving along at the pace I would like for it to. And now I have been commissioned with another assignment- to work on a Life Plan. Which really is great, because we could all use a little direction when figuring out where to go in life. My problem here, well it asks me to list my strengths, and I honestly couldn't think of one. That statement is contradiction though. I could think of plenty, but then when I started to measure myself against someone else, I didn't feel as strongly about it being a strength as I had previously. So there I go shrinking back and measuring myself against someone else. Not a good idea, because then you begin to overlook the things that are uniquely you, that no one else can lend to the world around and your light starts to fade. You become dull and lackluster, because you made a person in this world your measuring stick.
Dylan Thomas wrote "Do not go gentle into that good night..." I say the same, Do not go gentle into that good night, shine your light as brightly as you can, work as diligently as possible and conquer all your obstacles because you are fearfully and wonderfully made, and only death can stop you from achieving what you have truly set your heart to do..
