OK, I'm not a "slogan" guy but I read a slogan that I'm going to run by you now. "To Plant A Garden Is To Believe In Tomorrow". Is that too fruity tooty for you guys? Usually, it would be for me. 🙂 but cancer makes you see some things differently than you did before. This year I planted what I call my anticancer garden. I realized this year that not only was this saying true but it was especially true about me.
So, before I was a software engineer I worked in construction, listened to rock and was a bit rough and tumble. Yes, I admit it. 🙂 So, cute signs and slogans aren't usually my thing but there's a tenacity in that saying that I like. In my mind I'm picturing it tattooed on one of my construction friends right next to the grim reaper and the skulls. No?
I am lucky to have moved into the neighborhood I moved in to. We have only been here less than a year and we are friends with almost everyone on the block and some of their friends from other neighborhoods too. Luckily for me, I found a new friend to build me some raised garden boxes. They are 20 feet long and 20 inches high and 4 feet wide. I built two. So, yes, we have a lot of garden. He added a bench seat all around the edges so that I could sit if I got tired. I've already used that feature quite a bit.
I also had another friend create a wire system for 4 trees that I will grow in the espalier style. Growing fruit in the espalier style is when you train the fruit trees to grow sideways rather than up. It's a space saving way to grow fruit. The best part is that the fruit is never higher than 6 feet tall or as low as you would like it. This is all part of my attempt at making a potager garden which is basically a decorative kitchen garden inspired by the French.
I decided to grow things that were either hard to get organically or were expensive or were part of my cancer fight. I consider organic to be pesticide free and NOT GMO.This year I purchased all of my seeds from Baker Creek at RareSeeds.Com and I got my fruit trees from Stark Brothers.
I planted two apple trees. One gold rush and a pollinator for it that is a red apple. I purchased apple trees because they are part of the "dirty dozen". If you haven't heard about the dirty dozen it is a list of the fruits and veggies most contaminated with pesticides. Apples are on the list. You can see a list here.
I planted a cherry tree because we all love cherries and if you want to eat them without pesticides start wiping off every stinking cherry or enjoy your fruit flavored pesticides.
I planted a nectarine tree because I don't like the skin on peaches and I think peaches are part of the dirty dozen too.
I planted corn. It's almost impossible to buy corn without getting a "frankin-food". Corn is almost completely GMO now. Even the seeds are GMO now. You have to purchase heirloom seeds that have been tested for GMOs. I planted Golden Bantam which is a variety that goes back to the turn of the century. Wish me luck, I heard corn was difficult.
I planted Onions. Need I say more. Onions, garlic and all of the plants from the allium family are constantly mentioned in clinical studies as cancer fighting foods. I wrote a short post on cancer fighting foods that you can read here.
My hospital stay interrupted my garden plans but I plan to finish up with tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, wax beans, bush beans and more. I will keep you updated with our garden's progress.
hi Ed I note you love cherries, so do I but I no longer eat them.
Neuro endocrine effects your serotonin and melatonin levels and so do cherries. I was having trouble sleeping, especially when my lanrotide injection was due. I ate cherries daily and dried ones if fresh ones were not available. I was looking for an answer to sleeping problems when I discovered some research saying that cherries helped people to sleep. I ate them a couple of hours before bed and had bitter cherry juice, recommended on many web sites. I got much worse more flushing more diarrhoea and less sleep. I was within reasonable levels of intake a handful and small glass of juice. I thought it was my condition worsening. The cherry intake alone would not have produced the diarrhoea. A doctor told me not to have cherries at all for a couple of weeks as they did effect some hormones to see if it helped. I have never eaten them since. No other fruit or vege has had this effect. They made my neuro endocrine worse. Everyone is different and you may be fine. As you are so interested in your diet in relation to your condition I thought you would want to test your self when your cherries are out by looking for a difference in your condition. Hope you are not like me but well worth knowing if you are. I have enjoyed reading all the information on your blog. good luck with your garden, I would love rased beds.
That is CRAZY! I don't eat too many cherries because I am too impatient to pit them. Isn't that sad! 🙂 My wife loves them though. I will absolutely watch out for this though. I'll take a picture of my raised beds and garden so that you can copy them if you want to. I'm going to do a garden update. Next year, I'm going to plant more things that are "cancer fighters".
I use the bench a lot. I used to do construction and I was the "animal" on the job. My friends used to joke around if there was something to tear down they would say "sick 'em, ed….sick 'em". 🙂 I would have it torn to the ground so fast everyone would laugh. Now, I can't plant a packet of seeds. Grrrrr…..it makes me so frustrated….but I choose to stay positive. I believe it makes a difference.
Hi Ed. They have tree seeds as well. Some grow very fast indeed. I have a wild British Cherry 15 years old my arms just go round it is up to top of the roof and covered in birds all summer. Loads of bitter cherries I cannot eat but the wild life love them. They do a catalogue as well as the web site and hold the world heritage collection of seeds. Every seed they can find from all over the world. You could do loads with an acre.
I think I"m done for this year but I will definitely look them up.

Real Madrid, Inter Milan Return Would Be 'Huge Honour,' Says Jose Mourinho
Rory Marsden@@roomarsdenTwitter LogoFeatured ColumnistJanuary 11, 2019
Jose Mourinho has said it would be "a huge honour" to return to Real Madrid or Inter Milan as manager after being sacked in December by Manchester United.
However, in an interview with Correio da Manha (h/t Football Espana) on Thursday, he ruled himself out of a return to Benfica after being heavily linked with the vacant position at the Estadio da Luz following the departure of Rui Vitoria:
"Today I have no intention of returning to Portugal. Benfica aren't an option for me today. [Returning to Madrid or Inter would be] a huge honour, but I'm talking to you and no-one else right now. When a coach or player returns to a club, it means they did something positive. That's how I felt when I went back to Chelsea.
"When a professional returns or is invited to return to a club, it's a great honour. If you're asked back, it's because they know your worth. Now I have the right to relax, wait, have time to critique myself and analyse everything I've gone through in the last few years with calmness, to be able to think and prepare for the next phase of my career."
Mourinho, 55, endured a disappointing two-and-a-half-year spell at United before being dismissed.
He won a UEFA Europa League and League Cup double in 2016-17, his first campaign with the Red Devils, but he failed to launch any kind of Premier League title challenge and installed a dull brand of football at the club.
The Portuguese manager also created a bad atmosphere at United, falling out with a number of players, including club-record signing Paul Pogba:
The Pogba-Mourinho saga has become one of football's most intriguing storylines—and it's difficult to see both players surviving the season at Manchester United @DeanJonesBR | https://t.co/aLf4SO3C7p https://t.co/sRUSA5sIPS
Mourinho's spell in Manchester has done little to enhance his reputation.
He left Real on relatively good terms in 2013, though, and he remains a legend at Inter after leading them to treble glory in 2009-10.
Luciano Spalletti is currently in charge at the San Siro, with Santiago Solari the boss at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Neither is completely secure in their position, as both clubs are effectively already out of their respective league title races, and Real are even struggling to make the top four in La Liga and qualification for next season's UEFA Champions League.
It is not particularly hard to imagine one of Spalletti or Solari losing their job at some point in 2019, and Mourinho would immediately be a strong favourite to replace them.
He is clearly open to the prospect of returning to Inter or Real, and he can point to successful stints at both clubs.
Mourinho's second spell in charge of Chelsea did not end well, but before he was sacked by the west London club in December 2015, he was able to deliver them the 2014-15 Premier League title.

I posted this recipe a few weeks back and for some unknown reason it deleted off my blog! My apologies to those who are reading this for a second time but now you have the recipe if you tried looking for it and it was not there.
I decided to be resourceful and buy the large package of portobello mushrooms. I figured I could make two completely different meals using these mushrooms with one being a sandwich and the other stuffed portobello mushrooms with quinoa. This was the more simpler recipe of the two I chose to make. I hope you like your PBT as much as I did!
Place your mushrooms on a foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle each mushroom with 1 Tbsp of balsamic vinegar. Cook in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
*Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, and lemon juice together. Set aside.
Wash and slice your tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella.
Spread the mayonnaise mixture on one half of the ciabbata bread. Top with the balsalmic mushroom slices, basil, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese.
Top with the other half of the ciabbata bread and grill to your liking!
Seriously, this was like taking a bite of heaven.
*The mayonnaise spread is optional but I really enjoyed it.


In addition to Mr. Stephenson's remark that the attack would have been "mass murder on an unimaginable scale," Mr. Reid said that attacks were "highly likely" and predicted that the loss of life would have been on an "unprecedented scale."
Two weeks later, senior officials here characterized the remarks as unfortunate. As more information was analyzed and the British government decided that the attack was not imminent, Mr. Reid sought to calm the country by backing off from his dire predictions.
British officials said the suspects still had a lot of work to do. Two of the suspects did not have passports, but had applied for expedited approval. One official said the people suspected of leading the plot were still recruiting and radicalizing would-be bombers.
Hmmm. No tickets; no ready-for-use bombs; no passports for some; close surveillance ... then panic. Could it be that torture in Pakistan produced false evidence (as it almost always does) and so ended what might have been a more effective counter-terror operation? We'll never know. I just hope that the premature action against these Jihadists has not jeopardized the chances of prosecuting them. If torture was integral to their arrests, then they may have to be released. I await a retraction from the Malkin blog; and an apology from Jeff Goldstein who accused me of "dementia" for doubting the original official line. It was not dementia prompting my doubts. It was the evidence, something some on the far right seem uninterested in. If we want to win the war on Islamist terror, we need to be as reality-based as possible.


I attempted a version of my own 'day in the life' styled shoot the other week. This type of photography may seem weird I guess to some, I mean, who goes around documenting themselves and then sharing their otherwise unexciting day? I'm not that vain, but I do believe in making sure that I too exist, by proving it throughout photographs, and because I am a photographer I have the means and skill to be able to do so.
I did choose a day where I didn't have any plans to go anywhere, thereby avoiding strange looks from the public in the instance I was to set up my DSLR in the shop, and instead my only plans were to sit down and knuckle out some editing before heading to crossfit later in the evening. My daughter also came in in the morning with a fever, so she was down and out for most of the day, which then turned out for the best that we didn't have to venture out anywhere. Even though I didn't have a whole lot planned for the day I still struggled to capture all of my everyday activities, (including eating - I do actually consume food haha). I actually started to feel a bit self conscious as well, because I was in my pyjamas for so much of the day haha, but still none the less, this is pretty typical of an editing day for me - so please don't turn up unannounced on my next editing day unless you're also in your pj's.
I almost feel like I need to explain my day, as some of the images might not make a whole lot of sense to you, but at the same time, these images were for me. They all mean something to me, and I just wanted to share them with you without all the back story at this stage, but to help you see that the world of 'selfies' shouldn't always be regarded as the fun-filled, pretty and vain life, but as a documentation of your existence, be it by yourself or with your family by your side.
I'm excited to be writing this blog post along side a couple of other beautiful ladies from around the world, all sharing our take on 'A Day in the Life'. Please take a moment to check out their interpretations of the theme.

you've worked so hard for.
Protecting your trademark can pay dividends. It's also your brand and your reputation. You've established is associated with these different brand elements: your name, logo, and tagline.
Costs largely depend on the amount of applications you're filing, the amount of classes you need to file in and whether or not the trademark is in use.
Protecting your trademark can pay dividends. Not only is it a valuable property asset, but it's also your brand and your reputation. The reputation you've established is associated with these different brand elements: your name, logo, and tagline. It is also the reason why people buy from you. It's important to take steps to protect these crucial company assets. With trademarks, there are many legal requirements, strict time deadlines, and the filing fees are not refunded by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) if you mess up. That's why you should use the best trademark lawyer. A top trademark lawyer will do the research to make sure the mark isn't already taken, ensure the filing gets accepted by the Office and provide sound legal advice throughout the entire process.
The process can be complex and lengthy. You are likely focused on developing your company and are probably working full-time in that capacity. Taking on this task yourself can limit your ability to focus on your business.
Receive proactive legal risk management that will help you avoid problems before they arise by tapping into senior attorneys with considerable business experience.
A trademark is essentially a brand name. It's a word, phrase, symbol, and/or design that distinguishes the source of goods of one party from another. A service mark is any word, name, symbol, device, or any combination, used (or intended to be used) in commerce to identify and distinguish the services of one provider from the services provided by others, and to indicate the source of the services.
When should I get one?
It depends on a myriad of factors, but a lot of businesses will trademark and incorporate simultaneously. It's advisable to trademark at least your name and logo in order to prevent others from ripping off your company and be provided a legal recourse if this ever happens.
Although common law trademark rights exist, it takes a lot more time and effort to prove your rights. Also, common law rights only extend to the geographic area your business is in, rather than being protected throughout the entire country if you register it with the USPTO.
When does the USPTO deny applications?
Applications are routinely rejected based on the "likelihood of confusion" standard. According to the USPTO, "likelihood of confusion exists between trademarks when the marks are so similar and the goods and/or services for which they are used are so related that consumers would mistakenly believe they come from the same source. Each application is decided on its own facts, and no strict mechanical test exists for determining the likelihood of confusion." As you can see, there is no bright-line rule to follow. That's why utilizing a top trademark lawyer experienced with the USPTO makes sense.
The total time for an application to be processed may be anywhere from almost a year to several years, depending on the basis for filing, and the legal issues which can take place during the examination of the application.

Q: How to pass data in DOMDocument object inside PHP script to JavaScript file? My PHP script creates and saves a file to local hard disk using DOMDocument's ->load and ->save methods successfully.
<?php
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->load($data);
$dom->save($filename);
return $dom; // am I passing data to JavaScript here wrongly?
?>

This PHP script is called upon with jQuery's $.ajax from another file:
$.ajax({
 url: 'script.php',
 type: 'GET',
 data: parameters,
 success: function(resp) {
  //var data = new Blob([resp], {type: 'text/xml});
  //textFile = window.URL.createObjectURL(data);
  //return textFile;
  console.log(resp);
}
});//ajax

I don't see anything in console. How to pass DOMDocument data from PHP script to JavaScript's AJAX call?
I also tried using file_get_contents() and returning it's result but same problem.

A: I think you will need to echo the result, not return it.
<?php
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->load($data);
$dom->save($filename);
echo $dom->saveXML();
?>

A: You have two mistakes in your script.
First, you have to turn
$dom->save($filename);

into
$dom->saveHTML($filename);

As stated in the documentation, the save() method return an integer while saveHTML() return the content generated.

Then, you have to turn
return $dom;

into
echo $dom;

Indeed, if you want Javascript to get the content, you have to write it in the output (via the echo function), not return it; "return" doesn't write anything

Renacci is a big backer of Trump, but Brown's trade policies are more in line with the president's.
Sen. Sherrod Brown and Rep. Jim Renacci may be the names on Ohio's ballot for the U.S. Senate this fall, but a third name — President Donald Trump — might as well be listed too.
Trump, who seems to cause news alerts on a minute-to-minute basis, won Ohio by eight percentage points in 2016.
To supporters, he's the blunt-talking businessman America needs, a man unafraid to stir up controversy in order to shake up the status quo.
To detractors, he's a bully who is ill-informed about many of the policies he's instituting and someone who is more comfortable with lies than reality.
The two Senate candidates have reflected the voters' deep disconnect — to an extent.
Renacci, who entered the Senate race in January after Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel abruptly dropped out, cited Trump's encouragement in deciding to run. He ran ads in the primary touting Trump's record, even echoing Trump's "America First" agenda with his own "Ohio First" campaign slogan.
But he does so despite a record on trade that is at odds with Trump's sweeping skepticism toward many of the very trade deals Renacci voted for in Congress. He's concerned about the tariffs, saying he wants them to be used as a negotiating tool and to not hurt Ohioans, and he voted against a Trump-endorsed spending bill he said was fiscally irresponsible. He also opposed the policy of separating undocumented immigrant families.
For his part, Brown frequently rages against Trump, speaking out against his immigration policies, the tax cut that he says benefits mainly the rich and the people he appoints to key positions, including the Supreme Court.
But on trade, Brown and not Renacci is the candidate closest to Trump.
David Cohen, a political science professor at the University of Akron, said Renacci is a "free-trading, pro-business Republican," while Brown has made blue-collar voters a centerpiece of his campaigns.
Trade isn't a new subject for Brown. In 2004 he wrote a 228-page book, "Myths of Free Trade: Why American Trade Policy Has Failed," which was a direct attack on NAFTA, the same trade deal Trump has vowed to rip up.
Brown said he's not sure the president understands the nuances of the trade issue but is happy Trump's instincts on trade line up with his own. He said his approach has been to try to work with Trump when possible, such as on opioids, understanding that he'll also occasionally be opposed to many of Trump's policy ideas. He has, during the Trump era, been a sponsor of at least 10 bills that Trump has signed into law.
There is no question who Trump is supporting in the race — he's given Renacci his full endorsement — but Brown seems more at ease with Trump than most Democrats. He's been invited to the White House multiple times and spoke twice with Trump on the phone: a 30-minute conversation about trade a few weeks back, and one on "Buy America" provisions in February.
Did Brown like talking to him?
"Compared to my dentist?" Brown joked.
Renacci said the Trump he knows stands in sharp contrast to the public perception of him. The man he's gotten to know wants his children and grandchildren to live in a country that's thriving, he said.
"If you had the chance to sit around with President Trump for 40 minutes…I promise you, you would say, 'I like that guy,'" Renacci said.
Perhaps because of his early support for Trump during his presidential campaign, he is often called on to defend the president for something he has said or tweeted.
Brown expressed more concern about White House's legal entanglements but made clear he is not calling for the impeachment of the president, as many in his party are doing.
Cohen said the election may hinge on whether the same blue-collar voters who backed Trump in 2016 flip to support Brown this year.


The following are the NHL betting odds for tonight's Dallas Stars at Washington Capitals game at the Verizon Center. The Stars have won 10 of the last 11 games versus the Caps, but fans who bet on hockey should not let that fact sway them. After all, Dallas is one of the worst road teams in the league with a goals per game differential of -1.27 away from the American Airlines Center.
The Stars are coming off a 2-1 win over the Panthers on Saturday. Jamie Benn scored at 11:01 of the first period and John Klingberg scored the game-winning goal with 1:07 remaining to snap a six-road game losing streak. Kari Lehtonen made a season-best 41 saves, including three in a seven-second period in the third. This was only Dallas' eight road win this regular season. the Stars also won their first game without forward Antoine Roussel, who injured his hand in a loss to the Islanders and will be out anywhere from 6-8 weeks to the rest of the season. In light of this, Dallas recalled forward Remi Elie from the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League. In trends for fans who like to bet on hockey, the Stars are 2-5 against the NHL betting spread in the last seven games on the road and 1-6 SU in the last seven games on the road. The total has gone over in six of Dallas's last eight games when playing on the road against the Caps.
The Capitals are coming off a 2-1 win over the Flyers on Saturday. Dmitry Orlov scored the first goal for the Caps and Nicklas Backstrom scored on the power play with 1:35 left in overtime for the Capitals' 15th straight home win. Braden Holtby made 30 saves in his 34th W of the season. Washington has won three games in a row and is 16-0-1 in their last 17 home games. The Caps will start a three-game homestand as well as run during which they will meet Western Conference opponents in each of their next six games and in 11 of their next 13. Washington has lost five consecutive games to the Stars at Verizon Center by a combined margin of 20 to 9. The last time the Capitals beat the Stars at home was in 2006. The Caps are 3-10-1 at home versus the Stars since the latter moved from Minnesota. Right wing T.J. Oshie returned to the lineup following a four-game absence on Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers, and both Brooks Orpik Matt Niskanen returned on Thursday against NJ. In trends for fans who like to bet on hockey, Washington is 10-3 against the NHL betting spread in the last 13 games at home and 0-5 SU in the last five games when playing at home against Dallas. The total has gone over in four of Washington's last five games when playing against the Stars. The Caps have allowed only 25.8 shots on average per home game this regular season.


The committee, among other things, is to look into whether there was a case of medical negligence at any of the seven medical facilities that turned away Prince Anthony Opoku before his death.
On Saturday, June 2, 2018, Prince died after his family sent him to the C&J Medicare Hospital at Adabraka, the Korle Bu Polyclinic, the Ridge, the Police and the Trust hospitals, as well as the La Polyclinic and finally, the LEKMA Hospital at Teshie where he died in his car.
The hospitals are said to have refused to admit Prince because they claimed they did not have beds.
On Monday, June 11, the Director General (DG) of the GHS, Dr Anthony Nsiah-Asare, directed all government-accredited hospitals and clinics , henceforth, desist from turning patients away on the excuse that they had no beds.
It rather called on hospitals and clinics to make every effort to stabilise patients before referring them to the next level facilities.
Earlier in an interview in Accra, Dr Nsiah-Asare said depending on the committee's report, the GHS would sanction any of the seven facilities which would be found to have been negligent in its work.
In a related development, panellists of GBC's current affairs programme, 'Talking Point,' which discussed "Healthcare Delivery in Ghana" last Sunday, urged the government to, as a matter of urgency, invest in 'emergency healthcare,' and make it one of its topmost priorities.
The Assistant General Secretary of the Ghana Medical Association, Dr Titus Beyuo, called for properly trained bed managers in all health facilities who will manage and keep information on the distribution of beds as a resource in the facilities.
He also drew attention to the issue of supervision, which, he said, was key for the whole country and not only the health sector.
Dr Beyuo said a decision to turn away patients from any health facility must come from superior officers who can take full responsibility for their actions.
Another panellist, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ledzokuku and member, Parliamentary Select Committee on Health, Dr Benard Oko-Boye, called for the designation of a number to assist patients when they were turned away by health facilities.
He contended that the existence of a number would deter doctors from being reckless in the discharge of their duties.

Narrative Q&A
Discussion in 'Articles' started by nastyjman, Jul 11, 2019 at 11:20 PM.
I've always been curious on how scenes were constructed and made memorable. Think of Vader's reveal that he is Luke's father, or think of Brad Pitt's character in Seven finding out that his wife is in the box. Scenes are not only made to be memorable, but they are used to sustain audience interest throughout the story
I did a lot of studying with regards to scenes. Through my journey as a writer, I've come across one of the best tool on how to construct scenes. This tool is the "Scene & Sequel" method. To avoid confusion between Scene (with a capital S) and scene, I will refer to Scene as active scene, and Sequel as reactive scene.
Active scenes comprise of Goal, Conflict and Outcome. For example, Luke's Goal is to defeat Vader. His Conflicts are Vader's skill and his deficiency in skill. The Outcome of this scene is Luke getting his hand chopped off, and furthermore Vader reveals that he is Luke's father.
Reactive scenes comprise of Reaction, Dilemma and Decision. For example, Luke's Reaction to Vader revealing he is his father is denial and dread. Luke's Dilemma is choosing between joining his father (but be corrupted by the dark side) or refusing his father (and most likely die). With those choices, Luke's Decision is to refuse his father and jumps to his death (but is rescued later on).
That's the quick and dirty of active scenes and reactive scenes. If you want further details, I recommend Jim Butcher's article on it. Here are the links:
Scene: https://jimbutcher.livejournal.com/2647.html
Sequels: https://jimbutcher.livejournal.com/2880.html
One thing I've noticed on both types of scenes is that it culminates to a "Fork on the Road." On the examples above, the outcome on defeating Vader can either succeed or fail. The dilemma for Luke is a choice between joining Vader or refusing him.
Whatever path they are forced into or whatever path they have chosen, Complication follows. With the same examples, the complication for failing to defeat Vader is Luke losing his hand, and the complication for refusing to join Vader is possible death.
With this in mind, active scenes and reactive scenes can be compressed into a Narrative Q&A. To construct a Narrative Q&A, the question should be close-ended where the answer is either "yes" or "no", then followed by a complication. With the same examples above, the Narrative Q&A would be "Will Luke defeat Vader? No, and furthermore his hand is cut off," and then "Will Luke join his father on the dark side? No, and furthermore he falls to his death (but his fortune is reversed)."
These narrative questions are asked unconsciously as we watch or read stories, and these questions sustain us throughout. As soon as we reach the answer, the scene reaches a Turning Point. The turning point changes the trajectory of the story, provided there's a complication.
I've been using Narrative Q&A for my outlines instead of active and reactive scenes. The reason why is because I can clearly see the tension of a scene or sequence. For example, In Seven, the climax has Detective Mills facing a dilemma: Will he shoot John Doe to avenge his wife whose severed head is in a box?
Maybe YES as John Doe confesses on killing his wife
Maybe NO as Detective Somerset tells him to drop the gun
Maybe YES as the rage overwhelms Detective Mills (assumed)
Maybe NO as Detective Somerset tells him that John Doe wins if he shoots him
DEFINITELY YES as Detective Mills decides to shoot John Doe
With the given example, you can see how it swings from "yes" and "no" until we arrive at a definite answer. The back and forth between "yes" and "no" is tension.
Often, the Narrative Q&A won't have a zig-zag pattern. At times it's either a rise or a fall, depending on how the scene is constructed. For example, in Alien, when the facehugger alien dies and falls off Kane's face, the narrative question is this: Is Kane healthy?
Maybe YES as there seems no complications on him and he's eating
DEFINITELY NO as an alien burst through his chest, and FURTHERMORE there's an alien loose in the ship
Should there always be an answer to a Narrative Q&A? Not really. When an answer is not established or ambiguous, then it's a Cliffhanger. For example, the ending in Inception (spoilers ahead, of course) has the question: Will Cobb find out if he's in the real world?
Maybe YES as Cobb spins his totem
Maybe NO as his children call to him
So why call it Narrative Q&A and not Scene Q&A? Because Narrative Q&A can apply to sequences which is a group of scenes. One scene may not have a conflict or dilemma, but it could be a build-up for a scene that has those dramatic elements. For example, in Pulp Fiction Jules and Vincent's drive-up to Brett's apartment has no dilemma or conflict, but the scene is kept in because it illuminates the characters as they talk about royale with cheese. The next scene does have conflict, which is Vincent and Jules trying to retrieve the briefcase. The narrative Q&A for that sequence is this: Will Jules and Vincent get the briefcase?
So how does Narrative Q&A help you as a writer? You can use it as a basis to construct your scene. From the Narrative Q&A, you can extrapolate the scenes or beats that will lead up to the Narrative Q&A. Here's how I would outline the sequence for Pulp Fiction:
BUILD-UP
Jules and Vincent driving to Brett's apartment
Jules and Vincent talking about royale with cheese
Jules and Vincent arriving at their destination
Will Jules and Vincent retrieve the briefcase?
Maybe NO as Jules toys with Brett
Definitely YES as Vincent finds the briefcase
SEND-OFF
Jules further toying with Brett
Jules and Vincent killing Brett
Here you can see that the Narrative Q&A is the nucleus to the build-up and send-off. Also, it clearly delineates the sequence's beginning, middle and end.
I've been using a lot of examples from movies, but the Narrative Q&A works on novels. The following links will take you to a sheet where I made note of the Narrative Q&A on Nabokov's Lolita and Vonnegut's Sirens of Titan. I had chosen these titles because they are literary works and they have a unique narrator. I wanted to test if the Narrative Q&A holds up on these two titles.
Lolita: https://jonmayo.blogspot.com/p/narrative-q-lolita-by-vladimir-nabokov.html
Sirens of Titan: https://jonmayo.blogspot.com/p/narrative-q-sirens-of-titan-by-kurt.html
The lists above do not show the connective beats and scenes; they only show the Narrative Q&A.
As an exercise, try finding the Narrative Q&A on movies, shows or books you consume. If you come across a scene or sequence, figure out the Narrative Q&A. Once you have the question, study how the scene or sequence is built-up.
There you have it folks! I hope this will help you in constructing scenes and sequences that elevate your story.

Q: Load testing Visual Studio, start up script / setup I was wondering if it was possible to have a start-up script before running any load tests? For example, perhaps to seed some data or clear anything down prior to the tests executing.
In my instance I have a mixed bag of designer and coded tests. Put it simply, I have:

*

*Two coded tests

*A designer created web test which points to these coded tests

*A load test which runs the designer

I have tried adding a class and decorating with the attributes [TestInitialize()], [ClassInitialize()] but this code doesn't seem to get run.
Some basic code to show this in practice (see below). Is there a way of doing this whereby I can have something run only the once before test run?
[TestClass]
public class Setup  : WebTest
{
    [TestInitialize()]
    public static void Hello()
    {
        // Run some code
    }

    public override IEnumerator<WebTestRequest> GetRequestEnumerator()
    {
        return null;
    }
}

Probably should also mention that on my coded tests I have added these attributes and they get ignored. I have come across a workaround which is to create a Plugin.
EDIT
Having done a little more browsing around I found this article on SO which shows how to implement a LoadTestPlugin.

A: Visual Studio provides a way of running a script before and also after a test run. They are intended for use in deploying data for a test and cleaning up after a test. The scripts are specified on the "Setup and cleanup" page in the ".testsettings" file.
A load test plugin can contain code to run before and after any test cases are executed, also at various stages during test execution. The interface is that events are raised at various points during the execution of a load test. User code can be called when these events occur. The LoadTestStarting event is raised before any test cases run. See here for more info.

A: If you are willing to use NUnit you have SetUp/TearDown for a per test scope and TestFixtureSetUp/TestFixtureTearDown to do something similar for a class (TestFixture)

A: Maybe a bit of a hack, but you can place your code inside the static constructor of your test class as it will automatically run exactly once before the first instance is created or any static members are referenced:
[TestClass]
public class Setup  : WebTest
{
    static Setup()
    {
        // prepare data for test
    }

    public override IEnumerator<WebTestRequest> GetRequestEnumerator()
    {
        return null;
    }
}

# About Node.js®

As an asynchronous event-driven JavaScript runtime, Node.js is designed to build scalable network applications. In the following "hello world" example, many connections can be handled concurrently. Upon each connection, the callback is fired, but if there is no work to be done, Node.js will sleep.

```javascript
const http = require('http');

const hostname = '127.0.0.1';
const port = 3000;

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.statusCode = 200;
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
  res.end('Hello World');
});

server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
  console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
});
```

This is in contrast to today's more common concurrency model, in which OS threads are employed. Thread-based networking is relatively inefficient and very difficult to use. Furthermore, users of Node.js are free from worries of dead-locking the process, since there are no locks. Almost no function in Node.js directly performs I/O, so the process never blocks. Because nothing blocks, scalable systems are very reasonable to develop in Node.js.

If some of this language is unfamiliar, there is a full article on [Blocking vs. Non-Blocking](/en/docs/guides/blocking-vs-non-blocking/).

---

Node.js is similar in design to, and influenced by, systems like Ruby's [Event Machine](https://github.com/eventmachine/eventmachine) and Python's [Twisted](https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/). Node.js takes the event model a bit further. It presents an [event loop](/en/docs/guides/event-loop-timers-and-nexttick/) as a runtime construct instead of as a library. In other systems, there is always a blocking call to start the event-loop. Typically, behavior is defined through callbacks at the beginning of a script, and at the end a server is started through a blocking call like `EventMachine::run()`. In Node.js, there is no such start-the-event-loop call. Node.js simply enters the event loop after executing the input script. Node.js exits the event loop when there are no more callbacks to perform. This behavior is like browser JavaScript — the event loop is hidden from the user.

HTTP is a first-class citizen in Node.js, designed with streaming and low latency in mind. This makes Node.js well suited for the foundation of a web library or framework.

Node.js being designed without threads doesn't mean you can't take advantage of multiple cores in your environment. Child processes can be spawned by using our [`child_process.fork()`][] API, and are designed to be easy to communicate with. Built upon that same interface is the [`cluster`][] module, which allows you to share sockets between processes to enable load balancing over your cores.


i am facing one issue with my identity server .
if one of my IDP(one node ) is corrected or failed to working .
what is the next process do i have to do .
users are able authenticate with IDP and working fine .
unable to authenitcate with one 1 IDP server .
I am thinking IDP server is configuration may crashed .
IDP again and add to cluster will it work or not ?


It"s good to dust off old books and give them a new shine sometimes and that"s what Alderac has done — they first came out with a source book called Emerald Empire for the 3rd edition of Legend of the Five Rings RPG in 2008. It has stayed popular in the ensuing years, so when the new 4th edition of L5R came out, well of course they had to reboot this valuable source book, too.
As always, I cannot say enough about how beautiful the books are. The paper, the binding and the illustrations are a delight for the senses. I wish Wizards would take a similar approach to their books. Paging through an Alderac book is magical.
The content is equally enthralling. For a GM or a player, Emerald Empire is a great tool. The world of Rokugan is covered in the book — politics, law, culture, the arts, commerce and more.
This is not about creatures or geography but about the flesh and blood people who inhabit the world, whether NPCs or players.
There are some new mechanics, as well. It makes sense that when you update the material, that some mechanics would fall by the wayside and others would be enhanced in the new edition.
Not all the mechanics deal with combat. Some, like creating a role in law enforcement for a player or as an NPC, are part cultural, part role play and part story-driven.
The section about art is particularly near to my heart. Whether you are thinking tea ceremony, flower arranging, landscape gardening, painting or poetry, Emerald Empire will offer guidance.
There are suggestions for how an artistic player character might become an adventurer. And how he or she would incorporate the traditions and skills of the artisan school within the game play.
I love how the team at Alderac has given life to the world of Rokugan. It has many layers and personalities within the world. It is as rich, or richer, than other fantasy worlds.
Newcomers to Rokugan (and of course seasoned players too!) will have so many choices in creating their character that it could be overwhelming. But using the mobile.ae.org source books to create a living breathing character is easy and rewarding. Imagine having your young warrior be ashamed to tell his comrades about his poet mother because she was from another clan and another tradition? It"s a subtle addition to the player"s back story, but it can spark possibilities for the GM and hidden motivators for the player herself.
Another favorite section for me is the chapter on the world beyond Rokugan. Like the real world its based upon, Rokugan is particularly xenophobic. Outsiders are shunned and repelled. If their culture is not inferior, it is dangerous and most likely, in the eyes of the citizens of the Emerald Empire, any outsiders are both inferior and yet dangerous.
And what a way to deepen your story with a journey to Medinaat al-Salaam, for example (again it doesn"t matter if you"re the GM or a player looking for a unique back story). Or to enhance a particular piece of treasure by giving it an outsider origin.
As a source book and a rule book Emerald Empire is another great addition to the L5R universe. New combat maneuvers, new skills, new places to explore — what more could an adventurer ask for?!
I felt the wind as the katana sliced at my throat. Ha, I thought. Missed me! And then I felt the pulse of blood flowing out.
I did the only thing I could. I straightened my tail out, stiff like a plank and fell over backwards. If the thief thought that I was dead, I may have a chance to heal myself before doom fell. I heard a cry, whether from Nya, Gami or Mir'Itus, I could not tell.
I slowed my breathing. Willing my heart to stop its flutter. I didn't want to move, not just yet. Then I felt a hand on me. I carefully cracked an eye. Hekari was kneeling beside me. In my mind's eye I saw flowing water and the golden light of a summer morning and I gathered the two into a ball and imagined swallowing it. I heard Hekari gasp. I squeezed her hand.
A moment later, I felt a breeze as the thief's body hit the floor near me. I sat up, slowly because I still felt lightheaded. I saw surprise and then anger on Nya's face. Gami-Gami dropped her weapon and Mir'Itus shook his head in wonder.
"I being OK. No dead. Just play the dead to not be dead, yes?" Nya turned away without a word. Gami bent slowly, as thought she were ancient, and picked up her blade.
I approached Gami-Gami, who was slowly cleaning the double blades of her weapon. "The thanks of a humble rat go to you, great warrior Gami-Gami! Count the stars in the sky to number the blessings of being your companion." I bowed low and held my bow for several seconds. When I finally met her eyes, she said "Aye." And no more, but she seemed satisfied with my thanks.
"I am forever in your debt, for my life. Thank you, great warrior, for protecting me in my time of need. I am… not worthy." And I bowed low. The only sound was the hooves of her horse as he moved nervously. I vowed to hold the bow until she spoke.
Finally she said, "Don't mention it. Ever." As I raised up, I caught a glint as though she'd been crying. And then she was gone.

The Global Positioning System of satellites and pseudosatellite ground stations (GPS) is designed to provide very accurate Time, Space, and Position Information throughout the entire world. It is also being used to provide such information to unmanned vehicles operating on test ranges throughout the United States, as a replacement/ adjunct for tracking radar as well as a form of guidance. What is proposed in this paper, for which a patent has been applied, is that the existing L-Band RF link carry command information, when required, as well as TSPI information.

This thesis is concerned with a theoretical development of Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) algorithms. Integrity characterizes a navigation system ability to provide timely warning to users when the Global Positioning System (GPS) should not be used for navigation. RAIM algorithms detect, identify GPS anomalies and satellite failures and provide the Horizontal Protection Level (HPL). HPL means the smallest detectable horizontal position error with given probabilities of a false alert and missed detection. The developed algorithms use carrier phase measurements, which compared with code measurements can provide precise positioning and an extremely high level of GPS integrity due to setting a very tight fault detection threshold and HPL. First the linear model based on accumulating a few epochs of single difference carrier phase measurements is presented. Then the estimated integer ambiguities available from the positioning solution are used to develop the other single difference linear model. The typical fault detection and identification methods, used for code measurements, are applied to these linear models, leading to various single difference algorithms. The double difference method is also derived. The maximum position separation technique is used to derive the position space based method, implemented through a set of Kalman filters. Finally, computer simulations are performed to compare the developed various algorithms.

How to Reform the IMF Now
Apr 15, 2015 Paulo Nogueira Batista and Hector R. Torres
Reforms that would double the IMF's resources and reorganize its governing structure in favor of developing countries have been held up in the US Congress for more than four years. The best way forward would be to decouple the part of the reforms that requires ratification by the US Congress from the rest of the package.
WASHINGTON, DC – More than four years have passed since an overwhelming majority of the membership of the International Monetary Fund agreed to a package of reforms that would double the organization's resources and reorganize its governing structure in favor of developing countries. But adopting the reforms requires approval by the IMF's member countries; and, though the United States was among those that voted in favor of the measure, President Barack Obama has been unable to secure Congressional approval. The time has come to consider alternative methods for moving the reforms forward.
The delay by the US represents a huge setback for the IMF. It stands in the way of a restructuring of its decision-making process that would better reflect developing countries' growing importance and dynamism. Furthermore, with the reforms in limbo, the IMF has been forced to depend largely on loans from its members, rather than the permanent resources called for by the new measures. These loans, meant as a temporary bridge before the reforms entered into effect, need to be reaffirmed every six months.
In our view, the best way forward would be to decouple the part of the reforms that requires ratification by the US Congress from the rest of the package. Only one major element – the decision to move toward an all-elected Executive Board – requires an amendment to the IMF's Articles of Agreement and thus congressional approval.

Stop the USA from malplating the currency's of this planet . They Own The IMF , 20 trillion in debt , but they still have the number one currency in this world .
John Brian Shannon Apr 20, 2015
Hi Paulo and Hector,
IMF reform is important, and that can be said in the same sentence as... the IMF has done amazing work in this world.
Yet any organization can and must continue to improve. The very essence of evolution.
It seems that so far there has been little success in this regards and I think I know why the present process has resulted in exactly zero success.
Maybe the thing to try, rather than the omnibus approach involving so much change, would have been a series of amendments -- much as the U.S. constitution began as one document but "with allowance for amendments from time to time in pursuit of a more perfect union."
Had the IMF employed such a process, I've no doubt the level of resistance would have been microscopic at each juncture and much more would've been accomplished by now. Perhaps ALL of the present changes suggested, and more!
By simply sending one amendment per 24 month period to the stakeholders for approval -- instead of the massive omnibus approach that has been employed -- the IMF would've by now, met all of its objectives and with precious little fanfare.
Sometimes the incremental approach is the way to go, and sometimes the omnibus approach is the way to go. It makes me wonder.

So you want to reform it but allow the US to still control it - that's not a reform that's an end run that every other country would see right through.
But the US doesn't want to give up it's power over the IMF that's why it's not getting reformed.
Frans Verhagen Apr 16, 2015
The longer the US Congress is obstinate, the stronger the voices become who want another system. Among them are China's AIID and similar Brics institutions. In last instance, we do not need two parallel system but cooperative global institutions. A proposal for such institutions is presented in Verhagen 2012 "The Tierra Solution: Resolving the climate crisis through monetary transformation" and updated at www.timun.net.
hari naidu Apr 15, 2015
The US Senate just yesterday imposed their condition on Iran - P5+1 NPT negotiations. POTUS is bound to follow it and, if things go bad, the deal can be stopped ( ie. Bibi's?AIPAC strategy).
IMF reform is NOT going to get a faithful hearing in the Senate either. GOP will hold it up until 2016, if not longer.

Inventions / August 2, 2019
Tesla Coil. Getty Images
Nikola Tesla was born in 1856 in Smiljan Lika, Croatia. He was the son of a Serbian Orthodox clergyman. Tesla studied engineering at the Austrian Polytechnic School. He worked as an electrical engineer in Budapest and later emigrated to the United States in 1884 to work at the Edison Machine Works. He died in New York City on January 7, 1943.
During his lifetime, Tesla invented fluorescent lighting, the Tesla induction motor, the Tesla coil, and developed the alternating current (AC) electrical supply system that included a motor and transformer, and 3-phase electricity.
Tesla is now credited with inventing the modern radio as well; since the Supreme Court overturned Guglielmo Marconi's patent in 1943 in favor of Nikola Tesla's earlier patents. When an engineer (Otis Pond) once said to Tesla, "Looks as if Marconi got the jump on you" regarding Marconi's radio system, Tesla replied, "Marconi is a good fellow. Let him continue. He is using seventeen of my patents."
The Tesla coil, invented in 1891, is still used in radio and television sets and other electronic equipment.
Nikola Tesla - Mystery Invention
Ten years after patenting a successful method for producing alternating current, Nikola Tesla claimed the invention of an electrical generator that would not consume any fuel. This invention has been lost to the public. Tesla stated about his invention that he had harnessed the cosmic rays and caused them to operate a motive device.
In total, Nikola Telsa was granted more than one hundred patents and invented countless unpatented inventions.
Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse
In 1885, George Westinghouse, head of the Westinghouse Electric Company, bought the patent rights to Tesla's system of dynamos, transformers and motors. Westinghouse used Tesla's alternating current system to light the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago.
Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison
Nikola Tesla was Thomas Edison's rival at the end of the 19th century. In fact, he was more famous than Edison throughout the 1890's. His invention of polyphase electric power earned him worldwide fame and fortune. At his zenith, he was an intimate of poets and scientists, industrialists and financiers. Yet Tesla died destitute, having lost both his fortune and scientific reputation. During his fall from notoriety to obscurity, Tesla created a legacy of genuine invention and prophecy that still fascinates today.

Rep. Bobby Rush's family continues to benefit from campaign dollars
By Jessica Bursztynsky/For CU-CitizenAccess.org | November 6, 2018
More on Campaign Finance
Subscribe to Campaign Finance
A 2018 report from the House Committee on Ethics shows Democratic Representative Bobby Rush is still utilizing the federal campaign finance system to benefit his family despite following a 2016 questioning by the Federal Election Committee.
In 2016, the Federal Election Commission inquired into Rush's campaign finance report due to vague categories of expenditures. Additionally, watchdog groups have questioned the large amounts of campaign money going to Rush's family members.
Rush.house.gov
U.S. Congressman Bobby L. Rush (1st District of Illinois)
In 2016, Rush paid his now-late wife Carolyn Rush $50,000, his brother Marlon Rush $42,082, his mother Cora Rush $21.827.34, his son Jeffery Rush $13,654.96, nephew Flynn Rush $250. Rush himself took in $5,399.46 and Kacy Rush, his daughter, made $275.
The contributions totaled over $130,000 combined. It makes a total of 22 percent of the $588,950 he made in donations.
Rush contributed slightly less to family members this current election cycle, but family salaries still make up close to 20 percent of the donations Rush takes in.
So far, he's paid Jeffery Rush $1,000, $2,000 to Citizens for Flynn Rush, $20,000 to Citizens to elect Flynn Rush, $10,000 to Cora Rush, and $16,902.39 to himself. It currently totals $49,902.39, which is almost 19 percent of his current $267,175 in donations reported to this date.
University of Illinois professor and Institute of Government & Public Affairs chair Brian Gaines said there are very few restrictions when it comes to paying family members to do campaign work.
"It looks bad politically, but Rush is a good example of a Member with an extremely safe district," Gaines said in an email. "He'll never lose to a Republican in a general election, so his only possible fear is losing a primary to a Democratic challenger. An ambitious Democrat could try to make more of an issue of all of the money he's paid to his wife over the years, but it would probably take more than that issue to dislodge him."
Rush's team did not respond to media requests for comment.
Earlier this spring, Rush was ordered by the ethics committee to pay $13,000 out-of-pocket since he was found of improperly receiving almost 27-years of free office space, according to Federal Election Commission records.
The Office of Congressional Ethics referred the committee to Rush's finances in 2014 and ultimately concluded the gifts Rush was taking in exceeded limits set by federal law. From 1993 to 2008, Rush exceeded the Gift Rule by $14,610, the ethics office found.
"Accordingly, any campaign contributions in excess of federal and state limits represented gifts to Representative Rush, which the Gift Rule did not allow him to accept or retain," according to the March 2018 Committee on Ethics report.
Rush was elected as a Chicago Alderman in 1983 and began renting an office space on Martin Luther King Drive in Chicago in August 1989. Rush agreed to pay $1,126.49 in rent each month as well as a $1,881.00 security deposit.
Rush incorrectly told the committee he expected the City of Chicago to pay for his rent and added it had done so in the past, according to the ethics report. He began to miss payments starting in January 1990 and attempted to pay twice with two checks that later bounced.
Despite the missed payments, the company in charge, Draper and Kramer, never issued Rush an eviction notice or went to court. When Rush was elected to Congress in the mid-1990s, senior management issued a notice to suspend all collection efforts, due to possible political motivations.
There is no evidence, according to the report, that suggests Draper and Kramer or the shopping center's owners "knowingly provided free office space to Representative Rush's state or federal campaign committees, or that they did so for the purpose of influencing, or in connection with, any of Representative Rush's campaigns. Indeed, the available evidence is all to the contrary."

This Black smoke girl is huge for a female and will be a fabulously exotic smoke spotted pet for James in Washington. She is a 100% Human Imprint as well.
I hope this note finds you and yours well; I wanted to give you an update on 'our' Girl. She recovered nicely from her recent 'procedure' (getting spayed); we even made a deal so that she didn't have to wear the 'cone of shame' while things healed up. She continues to grow at a rapid pace; I weighed her @ just over 7lbs the other day. Personality wise she's still a sweetheart. While she'd prefer to spend most of her time exploring there's always a point at which she comes back to place herself as close to me as possible (note the Spider Man towel in the pics!). The Whippets are still infatuated with her; she's slowly spending more time on their side of the main floor (the other side of the baby gate). She definitely has let them both know that she's the Alpha amongst them.
Her fur is getting long! Her tail especially is quite impressive; she uses it to great effect with it wrapped around her legs when she sits. As you can see from the pics…she's quite striking.

Debbie first worked in pediatrics. It was the transition to a second East Coast pediatric hospital that taught her that organizations have personalities, too. Who would have guessed there'd be more than one right way to do pediatric brain surgery! Debbie enjoyed nurse leadership roles that included staff development so the appeal of occupational health nursing (OHN) was a natural transition. The OHN is invaluable in facilitating meaningful outcomes for employees and organizations, whether injury management or wellness promotion. In addition to outpatient healthcare settings, Debbie has worked in laboratories and manufacturing settings. She found that her experience managing teams of mostly women was good preparation for working with teams of mostly men in industry.
Debbie earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of Maine. Her Masters of Science degree is in Nursing Administration from the University of Massachusetts. She attained Certification as an Occupational Health Nurse, with a focus in Safety (COHN-S) through the American Board of Occupational Health Nurses. Debbie is Treasurer of the Maine Association of Occupational Health Nurses and volunteers with Maine Responds.
