While floss (!) and interdental brushes offer safer solutions for cleaning in between teeth, people have been picking their teeth for hundreds of years.
Just ask Washington Post reporter Sarah Kaplan, who recently discussed evidence that Neanderthals used toothpicks for dentistry.
Toothpicks were used throughout ancient Asia, India, and the Middle East, and made from all sorts of items, including sharpened sticks, and animal quills, to fancy ones made of bronze, iron, silver, and gold.
The Greeks used blades of straw, reeds, or a quill to clean the teeth.
Agathocles, the hated ruler of Syracuse, was assassinated by a toothpick in 289 B.C. ; it had been soaked in poison.
Romans, who valued oral hygiene, regarded toothpicks among one of the necessities needed by ladies of fashion.
A detail from Paolo Veronese's 1562 painting "The Wedding At Cana", with a woman using a toothpick.
In France during the Renaissance, toothpicks could be found stuck in desserts as well as proffered along with a plate and napkin at each place setting. They took on all the ornamentation and trappings of other personal luxury products of the time. Made of gold, silver, or ivory, they were sometimes set with precious jewels and inlaid with gems. Some were worn on chains around the neck. Picking the teeth was an upper-class trait, lower classes being unable to afford toothpicks. The poor just had to put up with food between their teeth.
Who created one of the first mass-market toothpicks?
By the early 19th century, toothpicks were still out of the reach of most consumers, although things were beginning to change. For example, Monsieur Bardin of Joinville-le-Pont, near Paris, found the invention of the steel pen had ruined the market for the quills from his two million geese. Quickly changing his production methods, he created a quill toothpick, instead, which became one of the first mass-market toothpicks.
Nuns got in on the act? You bet.
Over time, small centers of toothpick manufacturing have sprung up. As Henry Petroski writes in his indispensable book on toothpicking, the earliest organized manufacturers of toothpicks were the nuns of the Mondego River valley in Portugal, who in the 16th Century made toothpicks to sell alongside the sticky confections that were their main source of income.
These toothpicks, made of orangewood, found their way to the Portuguese colony of Brazil where natives started copying them, and it was here in the middle of the 19th century that a Bostonian named Charles Forster had his first fateful encounter with them.
Forster was on business in Brazil in the mid-1800s when he saw these large, hand-whittled toothpicks from Portugal being sold in big boxes as disposable appliances. He bought some and sent them to his wife in Boston, who shared them with guests. They must have taken to them, for when Forster returned to Boston in 1865, he went to work for a wooden shoe-peg manufacturer and began experimenting with equipment in the factory, trying to develop a machine that could cut toothpicks. By 1869 he'd achieved success.
How many toothpicks can a hand-whittler make in a day? Inquiring minds want to know.
The machine he invented could make as many toothpicks in a minute as a hand-whittler could make in a day. Forster found white birch worked best, which he found in abundance in Maine. Yet the world did not beat a path to his door. Boston restaurant owners ignored his product.
"They didn't think that proper Bostonians would want to sit around after dinner picking their teeth with a slender piece of wood," Charles Forster lamented.
At Boston's Union Oyster House, a restaurant that's been in business since 1826, Forster had recruited some Harvard scholars with the promise of a free meal if they'd help him in his plan to sell toothpicks.
* After dinner, the Harvard student, in a loud voice, was supposed to ask his waiter for a toothpick.
* If the restaurant didn't have any, then the young man was supposed to complain loudly, and inform the waiter that he would never again eat in the establishment.
* After five or six Harvard men had stormed out following their well-rehearsed display, the Oyster House started buying Forster's toothpicks.
Forster moved his toothpick factory to Maine a few years later to be closer to his raw material. He opened his first toothpick mill in an old starch mill in Strong in 1887. The factory improved upon the early, flat toothpick, eventually perfecting the round toothpick that tapered on both ends. Now toothpicks were easily and cheaply made (unlike during the French Renaissance!) and the poor could pick at their teeth as well as the rich.
Soon Forster was producing 500 million toothpicks a year and demand was outstripping supply. Competitors sprang up throughout Maine.
Strong, Maine's claim to fame.
By the mid-1940s, toothpick production was at its height.
Strong remained at the center of toothpick production, even emblazoning its fire engines with the words, "Toothpick Capital of the World". But in the post-war years, nylon floss cut into the market, as did cheap imports from China and Southeast Asia. What's more, picking one's teeth at the table became something of a social faux pas, something you shouldn't be seen doing. Sales plummeted in the 1980s. Strong attempted to diversify, with the Forster firm inventing toothpicks with square middles that prevented them rolling off the table, but it was too little too late. Its toothpick mills slowly began to shut down.
The Forster Manufacturing Company's mill was the last to go, closing in 2003. Strong no longer is the Toothpick Capital of the World.
At least the trees are safe.

Q: display error message soap request in Angular.js I'm consuming a web service via SOAP. I work on my project request and get a response expected result. the problem that I have is because I want to know when the request fails.
I want that when the request is not complete either by internet problems, timeout, etc., to be displayed a warning (console.log) stating that there is no internet or "try again." I have tried many things, but only the error is displayed by default console google chrome reporting that no internet or whatever.
the console.log() is never shown the error message console appears only google chrome console.

Not to put all my code, so basically I generate a SOAP request:
$soap.post(url,action,params).then(function(response){
  //my code..
});
//.success or .error not works ..

//i need for example:
/*
.error(function(response,status,headers,config) {

  console.log("problems with your connection")

});*/

documentation of soap in angular:
   https://github.com/andrewmcgivery/angular-soap
sorry for my level of english.

A: According to the documentation (and the code), the post call returns a promise. That means you should be able to do:
$soap.post(url, action, params).then(
    function(response) {
        // your code
    },
    function(reason) {
        console.log("Problems with your connection");
    }

One of the pillars of Islam dictate that every Muslim must pray 5 times a day while facing the sacred city of Mecca. Previously this required complex calculations using one's location and the position of the sun, but now that's all obsolete thanks to the power technology.
Even with this simultaneous data-processing, Find Mecca runs smoothly and has a minimal effect on battery life, but the iOS 7 support sets the app apart even more. Find Mecca is not just compatible with iOS 7. It's been designed from the ground up so that it mimics the theme and functionality of iOS 7, so it feels like an app that should come with your device. Before you even open the app, you can spot the minimalistic icon that shows what the app is about without any unnecessary gradients or distractions. After tapping on the icon, this design is continued inside the app. Thin text and thin lines on simple colors cleanly display what you need to know and are designed to direct your attention as fast and effectively as possible. Immediately, the app gets to work, making hundreds of calculation to satisfy it's purpose, without requiring any user interaction whatsoever. And instead of cluttering the main screen with unnecessary details, an about page neatly lists all relevant information. Even here, the function of the app is preserved as you can peek through the semitransparent background to see where the icon is pointed. Yet, one thing is certain. Find Mecca's simplistic design packs a big punch.

Q: SQL multiple CTEs but no results I have a table TrainingCredits of EmployeeIDs with their credits for training hours earned:
** EmpID, CourseNum, Credits, CompletedDate**
151, 400, 0.5, 10/1/2022
Each course has separate table Courses with tags for content area:
CourseNum, CourseName, Creditspossible, Tags  CourseNum is unique
400, Javascript 101, 3.0, JSC
With **Tags **being a 3 letter code (JSC, PRL, SQL) with multiples allowed and comma-separated.
I need to summarize for each employee the total credits earned for each tag.
For a singular query, I have:
SELECT
    EmpID,
    sum(Credits)
FROM TrainingCredits
INNER JOIN courses on TrainingCredits.courseNum=courses.courseNum
WHERE
        courses.tag LIKE '%JSC%'
        GROUP BY EmpID

That works for the single Tag type JSC. To repeat it for each Tag type, i just need to change the "Courses.tag LIKE '%PRL%'" line and run it again.
I tried creating a CTE for each tag type:
WITH JSCCreds (CEmpID, JSCcred) AS (
    SELECT                            //* this SELECT repeats for each below ...  *//
        EmpID,
        sum(Credits)
    FROM TrainingCredits
        INNER JOIN courses on TrainingCredits.courseNum=courses.CourseNum
    WHERE
                Courses.Tag LIKE '%JSC%'
        GROUP BY TrainingCredits.EmpID  ),
PRLCreds (PEmpID, PRLCred) As (
...
                Courses.Tag LIKE '%PRL%' ),
SQLCreds (SEmpID, SQLcred) AS (
...
                Courses.Tag LIKE '%SQL%' )
...
SELECT EmpID,
    JSCCreds.JSCcred,
    PRLCreds.PRLcred,
    SQLCreds.SQLcred
FROM TrainingCredits
WHERE
        TrainingCredits.EmpID=JSCCreds.JEmpID
    AND TrainingCredits.EmpID=PRLCreds.PEmpID
    AND TrainingCredits.EmpID=SQLCreds.SEmpID

But that is not giving me any results. I was expecting a list of EmpID with totals for each tag type.
I suspect my error is in the CTE data, but I'm no expert (this is about my skill level with SQL).
Is there a better way of doing this? I have thought of changing the single CSV tag type to a separate Boolean field for each Tag (Courses.JSCtag=true, Courses.PRLtag=false, Courses.SQLtag=False for example). But before I take that on, I'd rather get some advice.
Thanks.

A: You didn't say what version of SQL you are using. I did this in SQL Server.
First - test data... 2 employees, 4 classes, all tags (notice employee 151 has two sql classes (410 and 412)).
Fiddle
CREATE TABLE trainingCredits (EmpID INT, CourseNum INT, Credits Decimal(10,2), CompletedDate DATE)
INSERT INTO trainingCredits
VALUES
  (151, 400, 0.5, '10/1/2022')
, (151, 410, 1, '11/15/2022')
, (151, 412, 2, '11/15/22')
, (151, 430, 1, '10/12/23')
, (155, 400, 0.5, '10/1/2022')

CREATE TABLE courses (courseNum INT, courseName NVARCHAR(50), CreditsPossible DECIMAL(10,2), Tags NVARCHAR(100))
INSERT INTO courses
VALUES
  (400, 'Javascript 101', 3.0, 'JSC')
, (410, 'SQL 101', 3.0, 'SQL')
, (412, 'Expressions matter more than statements', 2.5, 'SQL')
, (430, 'PRL stands for something?', 16, 'PRL')

To get your sums, I summed partitioned by employee and tags.
SELECT
  DISTINCT
       EmpID
     , c.Tags
     , SUM(Credits) OVER (PARTITION BY t.EmpID, c.Tags ORDER BY t.empID) Credits
  FROM trainingCredits t
  JOIN courses c ON t.CourseNum = c.CourseNum

In the comments NickW suggested pivoting the result which is not a bad idea but currently, this query returns:

EmpID

Credits

151
JSC
0.50

151
PRL
1.00

MIAMI -- So, how do you guard Stephen Curry?
That was the question posed to various members of the Miami Heat after they watched Curry torch AmericanAirlines Arena for 36 points, 12 assists and four steals -- the first player ever to amass those numbers in a game against the Heat.
Most of the time, the answer to that question was simply this: a smile paired with a shake of the head.
"Uhh ...," LeBron James said while grinning. "When you go against a guy who can shoot like that, you just hope that he misses."
"It's tough, it's tough," Dwyane Wade said. "He's special."
"Um ... not the way we did tonight," Shane Battier said. "That's for sure."
"You can't defend that," Mario Chalmers said.
AP Photo/Lynne Sladky Stephen Curry was running on all cylinders in the Warriors' win over the defending champs.
"It's tough," Chris Bosh said. "Sometimes, he'd shoot it and sometimes he'd pass it. That's what makes him equally dangerous."
Spoelstra was asked that Curry question a day before the game after the Heat's practice on Wednesday. His answer then?
"Yeah, I don't know if anybody has figured that out yet," Spoelstra said.
Did Spoelstra have a better idea after Thursday's game?
"I mean ..." Spoelstra trailed off before giving out a chuckle. "What do you think?"
No, the Heat didn't really have an answer for Curry on Thursday, which puts them on a list that includes just about every team in the league.
Between threading the needle to David Lee in the pick-and-roll and splashing off-balance jumpers from impossible angles, Curry initiated almost everything for the Warriors, who crushed the Heat 123-114 for their league-leading seventh consecutive win.
Curry is increasingly becoming one of the biggest problems in the NBA. How do you guard a guy who can make half his 3-pointers from just about anywhere in the half court? What happens when you complement that ludicrous shot-making ability with elite handle and playmaking skills?
Well, you get jaw-dropping performances like Thursday's. After spending New Year's in Miami, Curry delivered some extra fireworks for a star-studded Miami audience that included names such as Julius Erving, Johnny Manziel, Guy Fieri and Jamie Foxx. In a game featuring a four-time MVP, it was Curry who routinely generated the incredulous "How do you guard that guy?" question.
The Heat had a game plan. The Heat tried to execute their patented death-by-strangulation strategy against Curry, the same one that they famously used to stymie Jeremy Lin in New York during Linsanity and Derrick Rose in Chicago during the 2010-11 playoffs.
But Curry was impervious. When the Heat trapped hard in the pick-and-roll, Curry more often than not maintained his composure and found the open guy. Usually that guy was Lee, who registered 32 points on 13-of-17 shooting and 14 rebounds of his own. In the end, five of Lee's 13 buckets came from a Curry dish.
And when the Heat let up off the gas on their aggressive strategy in the second half, Curry went off. Attacking inside and out, Curry single-handedly outscored the Heat 10 to 8 in the opening six minutes of the third quarter, helping to break open a 14-point lead.
Smother Curry and he'll split the defense and find teammates. Ease off and he'll unleash a soaring, back-breaking 3-pointer from the parking lot.
"One of the best shooters that the NBA will ever see," James said after the game. "With the way he handles the ball, and the light he has ... It's more than green. It's fluorescent."
James continued the Curry praise fest.
"I looked at the stat sheet at one point and he was 7-for-13 from the 3-point line and I was 7-for-12 from the field," James said. "I was like, "Oh s---, he's got more 3s than I got field goal attempts."
Curry shot 8-of-15 from downtown against the Heat, which ties the most makes and attempts the Heat have ever allowed from an individual player. And the thing is, he drained contested shots from just about every angle and distance.
"It was incredible," Wade said. "A few times we were in his jersey and he made shots. We shoot those shots, those are bad shots on this team. Pull-up on the break, one-on-three, whatever. Those are bad shots over here, but those are great shots for him. And he made 'em."
Really, is there a bad Stephen Curry shot in the book?
"No, there's not," Lee said in the locker room. "He proved that again [on Thursday]. I know it seems like with the high level of difficulty that the shots are bad, but he's on balance the majority of the time. He rarely takes something out of the flow, and if he does, a lot of times it goes in, so we forgive him for it. He's an unbelievable shooter."
Before the shooting inferno, Warriors coach Mark Jackson declared that Curry had "the green light" to shoot however many 3s he wants. Curry is now up to a career-high 8.1 3-point attempts per game and shooting 41.6 percent.
With a conversion rate that high, why not keep firing them up?
Battier, a student of the numbers, agrees with the "fluorescent" light that Curry gets from downtown since 3-pointers have 50 percent more value than 2-pointers. Effectively, he's shooting much higher than his raw field goal percentage indicates.
"I agree," Battier said about Jackson's 3-point philosophy while glancing at Curry's line in the box score. "Eight of 15? Effectively, what's that, 80 percent? Why not? There's not a bad 3 for Steph Curry. It's math."
Nights like Thursday is what should terrify the rest of the league. The Warriors entered the game with the third-most efficient defense in the land, thanks to Andrew Bogut and Andre Iguodala now being healthy. But they didn't play great defense on Thursday and still destroyed the two-time defending champs on their home floor. When Curry effectively punches in a cheat code and defies fundamental basketball principles with his dynamic abilities, the Warriors are virtually impossible to beat.
To find the Heat unabashedly awe of an opposing player or team, it's a rare event. But Curry warranted that on Thursday. And with seven wins in a row, the Warriors, who sit at 21-13 and sixth in the West, are putting the league on notice.
"They have a shot to come out of the Western Conference because of his ability to pass with both hands and shoot," Wade said. "That's a very good team over there. Mark Jackson has done a very good job, but Stephen Curry makes them special."
Would Wade like to see Curry in the Finals?
"I would love to," Wade said. "Because that would mean we're in the Finals."
Maybe, just maybe the Heat would have an answer for Curry by then.
MVP: The numbers -- 36 points, 12 assists, eight 3-pointers, four steals -- are incredible, but still don't do Stephen Curry's performance justice. Golden State's superstar went supernova in a surreal third quarter, scoring 14 points on an array of difficult jumpers that sucked the life out of Miami.
X factor: Golden State's first-half turnover woes were matched by those of LeBron James all game long. The world's best player committed eight turnovers -- many of a confounding variety -- in a performance he'd no doubt love to forget.
That was ... Golden State's "full squad": Amid doldrums of middling play spurred by injuries in late November and early December, the Warriors never panicked. Finally healthy with its full squad intact -- a team-wide talking point of late -- Golden State has won seven straight games for the first time since 2005.
MVP: Deron Williams deep-sixed the Thunder with 29 points, including a season-high six 3-pointers. He also had five steals in his 41 minutes while outplaying Kevin Durant, and nailed a heave at the end of the third quarter to set up the comeback.
Defining moment: 0.00 The clock read triple zero when Joe Johnsons buzzer-beater sailed over the outstretched arm of Serge Ibaka and splashed through the net for the win. It was Johnsons fourth game-winning shot at the buzzer since he joined the Nets.
That was ... a heist: OKC was in cruise control most of the game, until a scoreless drought that lasted 5:35 of the fourth quarter. The Nets hung around and kept themselves in position to steal a potential season-changing win.
MVP: In a season that's seen his psyche shattered, Iman Shumpert's 27-point performance might as well mark a turning point. He hit his open looks, played tenacious D, and came up with an absurd put-back off a Melo miss to seal it late.
X factor: After something of a spotty start, Beno Udrih managed to connect on a number of run-staving buckets during a tenuous second half. His end line wasn't spectacular, but the little things made Udrih indispensable.
That was... not according to script: The Knicks have made blowing games their own weird performance art all season. To hunker down and deal the needed death blow -- to one of the league's best, no less -- is the kind of thing that can turn a season around.
MVP: Despite doing some serious assist-hunting in the game's closing minutes, Joakim Noah finished just sort of a triple-double. The Bulls center posted 17 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists though, showing off yet again why he's one of the most versatile big men in the NBA.
X factor: Boston was sloppy with the ball all night, coughing up 20 turnovers on the evening, including six in the fourth quarter. The constant miscues helped Chicago to pull away late.
That was ... some ugly shooting: Each team shot less than 42 percent from the field and both squads combined to make a mere 4-of-27 3-point field goals.
MVP: Damian Lillard was unconscionably hot all game from every spot on the floor. The Dame made all his six 3-pointers and finished 9-for-13 overall for 24 points and seven assists.
Defining moment: Opening tip. The Blazers came out firing on all cylinders. By the 5:00 mark of the first quarter, they were 6-for-6 from long range and had the Bobcats down 28-13. The game was over before it ever really began.
That was ... hopelessly unstoppable: The Blazers were pouncing on every Bobcat mistake to the tune of 21 made 3-pointers. Charlotte played with energy and hustle all night. It was an exercise in futility, though.
MVP: What a night for Anderson Varejao, who finished with 18 points and a career-high 25 rebounds. The most impressive thing about his performance wasn't his rebounding, but his ability to drill midrange jump shots each time a Magic defender dared him to.
Defining moment: Trailing 78-68 with 1:34 left in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers responded by going on a 11-1 run -- with some help from Orlando (see below) -- to tie things up at 79 apiece and force overtime. It was a shocking turn of events.
That was ... a choke job: Up 79-73 with 13.9 seconds left, the following happened: Jameer Nelson fouled Jarrett Jacks 3-point attempt, Tobias Harris committed a five-second violation, and ETwaun Moore missed two free throws. That allowed Cleveland to tie the game at the end of regulation.
Stephen Curry, Warriors: Miami had no answer for Curry, as he lit up South Beach for 36 points and 12 assists, including a 8-for-15 clip from 3-point range.
Up by 11 heading into the fourth quarter, the Thunder couldn't close the deal on the Nets as Joe Johnson's buzzer-beater capped Brooklyn's comeback on the road.
"I mean, if you can find a better shooter than him right now, especially with the way he handles the ball -- and the light that he has, it's more than green, it's fluorescent -- you just hope that he misses."
-- LeBron James, on Stephen Curry's 36-point performance Thursday night in Miami.
Mark D. Smith/USA TODAY Sports Joe Johnson makes his money at the buzzer. The Nets' closer finished off Brooklyn's comeback with a dagger in Oklahoma City.
Thursday night's victory over the San Antonio Spurs was the New York Knicks' first win against a Western Conference team this season (they were 0-9). Entering Thursday night, they were the only NBA team without a win against the Western Conference.
MVP: Jerryd Bayless and Ed Davis were big off the bench, but Zach Randolph was the consistent difference for Memphis. He dominated the Suns inside to the tune of 20 points and 15 rebounds.
Defining moment: With five minutes left in the fourth, a madcap Memphis possession seemed to touch everyone on the floor before finding its way to Mike Miller for a layup. It was emblematic of a wild, chippy, back-and-forth game.
That was ... a career best: On a poor shooting night for Phoenix, the Suns stayed in the game in large part thanks to Goran Dragic. With Eric Bledsoe missing, Dragic paced Phoenix with a career-high 33 points.
MVP: Taking advantage of Milwaukee's less-than-stellar perimeter defense, Gordon Hayward led Utah's offense with an efficient scoring night. With 22 points on 8-of-16 shooting, Hayward was a constant threat the entire night.
Turning point: Being lead by Utah's young-but-talented second unit, the Jazz broke the game open in the second quarter because of the combination of solid offensive penetration and overall defense.
That was ... depressing: While Utah looked like a balanced offensive threat, Milwaukee was a one-sided team as it shot an awful 4-for-22 from beyond the arc.
MVP: Thaddeus Young played a nearly flawless game on Thursday, posting 28 points, seven rebounds, six steals, four assists -- with zero turnovers -- to lead Philly to its third straight win. In his past nine outings, Young is averaging more than 22 points on 55 percent shooting.
LVP: In 23 minutes, Ben McLemore, the drafts No. 7 overall pick, scored zero points on 0-for-5 shooting and added a pair of turnovers. The putative marksman is shooting less than 40 percent on the season.
That was ... impressive: With the Kings trailing 94-79 a minute into the final period, Jimmer Fredette -- scoreless up to that point and averaging a meager 4.7 points on the season -- went off. In just less than 120 seconds, Fredette scored 10 unanswered points to narrow the Sixers' lead to five. It was a bizarre and incredible display that, ultimately, meant nothing. It was sports.

SECOND (STRING) COUSINS: Kirk Cousins came off the bench Sunday during a crucial last-minute drive to prove that Washington had not one but two very talented rookie quarterbacks. Photo courtesy Rob Carr/Getty Images
Let's flashback to April for a minute. Mike Shanahan and company made a seemingly uncontroversial pick in the fourth round, taking Michigan State quarterback Kirk Cousins. Said Shanahan to the signal caller, "I just couldn't pass you up this late."
And almost immediately, the pundits were tearing apart the pick. Instant quarterback controversy, they said. Does Shanahan really trust RG3? Maybe he hates black quarterbacks. I mean first McNabb and now this? Yeah, the one thing that's definitely NOT happening here is a Super Bowl-winning coach adding depth to the most important position in the game.
Redskins fans had their own gripes with the pick. They have so many holes, they said, how can they afford to take a SECOND quarterback? We need more bodies for the O-line. We need to replace Landry. We need another undersized receiver that can't go up and get jump balls.
So it was on the most unlikeliest of drives that everything worked itself out. Kirk Cousins came into the game. Not because RG3 was stinking up the joint, but because he was injured. And, in a word? He was sensational.
In the most dire of moments for the Redskins, Cousins led the Redskins not only to a last-minute touchdown but a game-tying 2-point conversion. The call? A designed quarterback draw, as if he was paying homage to the first-stringer he replaced.
The lesson here is twofold. First, not everything causes drama just because we want it two. Kirk Cousins and Robert Griffin III we're not competitors on Sunday, but brothers in arms. And second, sometimes, every once in a while, a team knows what they're doing when they make a draft pick.
We analyze and over analyze decisions in the NFL, but on the second Sunday in December, that controversial quarterback selection in the fourth round handed a team in desperate pursuit of the playoffs a much-needed victory.
How many others in the class can say THAT 14 weeks into their career?

Patriot Missiles
I think we can officially lay down to rest the notion that this is a down year for the Patriots. If anything, this New England club has proven to me that their markedly better than they were last year.
Even with the Gronk out of action, the Patriots' high-octane offense hasn't missed a beat. After last night's thumping of the now 2-loss Texans, New England boasts the most potent offense by a comfortable margin.
The real difference here is how much the defense has improved. They still give up a ton of yardage (27th in the league), but their ability to turn over the ball and score off of turnovers gives their top-ranked offense even a further edge.
So just toss out all that "panic" talk at the beginning of the season. It was nothing more than a sluggish start. This New England team will be in the postseason and that's very, very bad news for other contenders. Especially in the AFC.
At 10-3, the Patriots are now just a game behind the team they defeated, the Texans, for the best record in the conference. Let last night serve as a perfect example of just how "on" New England will be when they play at home on a big stage. If they can run down the Texans and nab home field advantage throughout the playoffs, they will very easily be the team to beat.

Obviously those days are long gone. After the thumping they took at the hands of Seattle on Sunday, they not only look like a team deserving of the losing record they clinched as they accrued their ninth loss, they're making a strong case as one of the worst football teams in the league.
The team has innumerable holes, but I can't help but to feel it all begins and ends at the quarterback play. Just look at the Redskins, for example. Outside of Robert Griffin III, this team is not markedly more talented than the one last year, especially with guys like Orakpo and Fred Davis out for the year. And yet, the club has already two more wins than they did last year with three very winnable games left to play.
That's what a bona fide, face-of-the-franchise quarterback brings to the table. The Cardinals have tried to dance around this problem for quite some time. They brought in the veteran Mark Warner, and that worked pretty well, but that experiment and an expiration date on it from the very day they signed him. Then they brought in the Eagles' sloppy seconds, Kevin Kolb, and rather than transforming them into a competitive team, the former second-round draft pick has been subjugated to a carousel of sorts with two quarterbacks out of Fordham and San Diego State.
If I were the Cardinals, I would ride this nine-game losing streak all the way to 4-12 and a premium draft pick. They're not going to find an RG3 or Andrew Luck at the top of the draft because, well, those guys are once-in-a-generation talents. But in a quarterback class that thins out very quickly after Matt Barkley and Geno Smith, they're going to need to pursue a more permanent answer at the game's most premium position aggressively.

No Boos is Good Boos
Here's the bad news for the Jets: while they are technically still in the playoff race, that forgettable game against a horrendous Jacksonville team did nothing to convince anyone that this team is going anywhere. In fact, between them and the Bucs, they are definitely the worst 6-7 team in the league, and I'd even throw some 5-8 clubs ahead of them.
The good part for the Jets was that they got to play this game on the road, so all their lackluster play actually garnered a few cheers for once.
Like I said, if this team wins out, they can finish 9-7 with a shot at the playoffs. But if Fireman Ed has given up on this team, just who exactly IS on the bandwagon?
If you are still a member of the mean green faithful, here's what you hang your hat on. First, the Jets have actually won three of their last four games. The wins have just been so ugly, it hasn't felt like they were games to celebrate. Second, the Jets remaining schedule is very manageable. Pretty or not, this team generally finds a way to post a 'W' on the teams that they are more talented then. The last three teams on the docket, the Titans, Chargers, and Bills, fit that criteria.

Item #: 9342-m Categories: eBooks, Military, Revolutionary, Revolutionary War, US-Illinois
"While the six-month encampment of the Continental Army at Valley Forge in 1777-1778 has been part of America's folklore for generations," author Joseph Boyle writes in his Introduction, "most of the men who served there have remained anonymous. The names of over 30,000 men of all ranks appear on the surviving monthly muster and payroll records. This compilation is the initial effort to recognize some of these heroes of the Revolutionary War."
We are pleased to report that Mr. Boyle has been more than up to the task he has set for himself, for, in a carefully constructed Introduction, he strips away legend from fact in recounting the dreadful encampment of Washington's army at Valley Forge that began in December 1777 and ended in June of the following year. It is here that we learn how fate conspired to move a number of Connecticut regiments from the Hudson Highlands of New York to the environs of Philadelphia, as well as what would become of them after Valley Forge. The heart of the volume, of course, consists of an alphabetical list of some 4,000 Connecticut soldiers abstracted from Revolutionary War muster and pay rolls at the National Archives. Each patriot is identified by name, rank, date and term of enlistment or commission, name of regiment and company, and a variety of supporting details, such as date of furlough or discharge, when wounded, when and where promoted, etc. In support of the abstracts the author has prepared a detailed glossary of terms found in the rosters, an explanatory list of locations referred to in the entries, and a lengthy, up-to-date bibliography on the topic.
Fire Cake and Water promises to add immeasurably to our understanding of one of the most fateful moments in U.S. history.

With October brings fall colors, Halloween and thoughts of the upcoming Holiday season. Something not everyone is aware of is that October is also domestic violence awareness month. When people think of domestic violence they tend to consider the effects on the individual being abused, but there are many effects on the children involved as well, and the effects on the child may last a lifetime. It is important that parents and trusted adults know what to look for and how to start those difficult conversations to help protect our youth. Approximately 1/3 of the youth in the United States will witness domestic violence (Schreiber,2017). It is astonishing how many children can be affected. Even if it isn't your child you may be the person that child reaches out to for help therefore, it is important to know what to look for.
Working with youth in a shelter I have seen first hand, youth who have witnessed domestic violence. Many of them have even witnessed greater traumas such as shootings and homicide. These teens have heightened reactions to their surroundings, get nightmares, have higher levels of anxiety and depression as well as lower levels of trust for adults. For example, a young man I worked with needed to sit with his back against a wall and be able to see all of his possible exits because he had witnessed violence in his home. If this young man was unable to see his surroundings he would become so anxious he couldn't focus on the task at hand. Other teens I've worked with also had similar reactions, some even had increased anxiety when they heard sirens, when people walked into the building or at night. Some things to look out for are changes in behavior, angry outbursts, nightmares, anxiety, bed wetting, change in eating habits, self-harm or unusual cuts or bruises. It is heart breaking to see these young souls so troubled by what they witnessed in their homes. The very people that are supposed to love, protect and care for them are the same people who have caused them to have distrust, fear, anger and anxiety. Working with these teens has also helped me to understand the importance of knowing what to say and when to say it.
The teens I work with typically have great levels of apprehension towards me, since I'm basically a stranger to them, but generally they will start to open-up. When they do open-up they begin to share their traumas and what they experience at home. When these teens share about violence at home they don't want pity or someone to feel sorry for them, they want understanding and acceptance. It is important that whoever a teen or child talks to about abuse is actively listening to the youth. The listener should be open and non-judgmental. The next step is to remind the youth that they are not to blame and make sure they are safe. Safety with our youth is top priority. As a trusted adult we can also try and come up with a safety plan for the youth. This could include coming up with a safe place to go, someone to call and reminding them not to get involved in the violence. If safety can be re-established for the youth they will be able to feel more at ease and relaxed. Knowing they are safe can actually be a spring board for the youth to share more information and seek out further help at home.
Domestic violence can be a difficult topic to approach, with anyone of any age. It is important to be supportive of the youth involved because they are experiencing it too. Most importantly, be available for them to talk to and never judge or blame them. Remember that youth are strong and resilient so with support they can overcome domestic violence and stop the cycle. Be the support net they need, the bigger the supportive net the less likely they are to fall.

Students Hold Silver Accountable in Wake of Racist Email
The Silver School of Social Work will be adding training for faculty and incoming students and hiring an external consultant to address issues of racism in the school.
(Photo by Alana Beyer)

After a student's tweet about a racist experience went viral on Twitter, a group of students has made a list of demands that includes making curriculum changes and establishing mandatory training sessions in the Silver School of Social Work.
Last month, Silver first-year graduate student Shahem Mclaurin was told by a classmate via email that his "black presence" in the classroom made the student uncomfortable. A few days after Mclaurin tweeted about it, Silver responded with a statement that acknowledged ongoing institutional racism at the school and included a laundry list of steps it would take to address the problem. In the statement, the school said it would hire an external consultant who would visit in late February, have its social justice committee release a report on Feb. 22 and discuss the issue at the next faculty meeting.
"We view the email incident as a teachable moment for us," Silver Dean Neil B. Guterman said. "It has offered a real opportunity to better address the very real challenges of bias and exclusion so that Silver, as a leading school of social work, can become more welcoming, inclusive and diverse."
After the incident, students from various organizations and associations — as well as Mclaurin himself — joined together to form the Affinity Group Collective and wrote a petition calling for a meeting with administrators to address instances of racial discrimination within Silver. On Feb. 25, the group attended a Silver faculty meeting and laid out a list of demands to address social justice issues at the school.
Silver graduate student Ymani Hawkins is a member of the group and is enrolled in the class in which Mclaurin was discriminated against. She said the group entered the faculty meeting to ensure its voices were heard.
"We walked in and we expressed that we want our nine demands to be heard," Hawkins said.
Only the white students in the affinity group spoke at the meeting, as students of color felt they were at a higher risk of repercussions; the move also symbolized the silence of faculty members of color in the meeting, according to Hawkins.
The list of action items put together by the Affinity Group Collective includes revising Silver's curriculum to include critical race theory, decolonization and anti-oppressive action. An overhaul of the application process to emphasize social justice and a mandatory two-day anti-racism training to be held during students' orientation were also mentioned, in addition to the implementation of a protocol for students of color who experience discrimination in the class or field to report the incidents.
One member of the affinity group asked for specific faculty members to be assigned to each demand, or at least the first three, according to Hawkins.
"A few faculty [members] made it known they would take on the specific tasks," Hawkins said. "Since then, they've been setting up meetings with the affinity group, as well as with Shahem and I, to discuss these things and how they're going about dealing with them."
Silver is taking steps to meet some of the demands listed. According to NYU Public Affairs Officer Robert Polner, the school leadership, faculty and students will provide training for faculty on addressing issues of bias and exclusion. The next cohort of incoming students will receive anti-racism training as part of their orientation. The school will also build "socio-emotional supports for students of color" and continue to look at how the curriculum can be adapted to more effectively address issues of oppression, according to Polner.
In addition to working with the affinity group, Silver is holding listening sessions and walk-in meetings with the deans, including Guterman.
"Addressing issues of diversity, equity and inclusion have been a priority for me since arriving at the school in 2017," Guterman said.
Polner stated that this past fall, Silver launched a search for an external expert to help the school address these issues. Dr. Kenneth V. Hardy, a clinician who works with traumatized and oppressed populations, was selected for the position. Hardy is the former Director of the Center for Children, Families and Trauma at the Ackerman Institute in New York City and made his first visit to NYU in late February, according to Polner.
Guterman said that the school would also be searching for someone to be appointed to the newly created role of deputy director for diversity, equity and inclusion.
Hawkins said that she is hopeful that change will be made as long as students continue to hold the administration accountable.
"I'm encouraged that we have the strength, the faith, the grit to confront these issues and stay on [the faculty and staff] about it," Hawkins said. "I think that this is going to work."

Home/US/Moment gang of six attack victim, 33, with sticks, bottles and ROCKS as they try to steal his bike
Moment gang of six attack victim, 33, with sticks, bottles and ROCKS as they try to steal his bike
A cyclist was attacked by a group of six thugs attempting to steal his bike by throwing rocks and hitting him with sticks – as New York's crime wave persists.
The New York City Police department released security footage of the moment the gang of six individuals push the 33-year-old off of his bike.
The cyclist had been making his way along the sidewalk in the vicinity of East 152 Street and Tinton Avenue in the Bronx around 12.30pm on October 14 when he was attacked.
In the footage, the gang tried to pick the bike up off the floor after having pushed the cyclist.
Security footage captured the moment a gang of six attacked a cyclist in the Bronx on October 14, with one thug even seen throwing a rock
With the 33-year-old refusing to give up his property to the group, the thugs leave and return with objects to be used to try and take the bike by force.
Despite their attack, the group were unable to take the bike from the cyclist and fled down the road.
Police have said the victim was hit with 'various objects including sticks, bottles, and unknown cutting instruments'.
They added: 'The victim sustained lacerations to the forearm and was removed by EMS to NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln in stable condition.'
The security footage and images of six people wanted in connection with the attack have been released by the police as they appeal for information.
Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
Information can also be submitted by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website or on Twitter @NYPDTips. All calls are strictly confidential.
The attempted theft is part of New York's growing crime wave as lawlessness continues to grip the city.
Security footage showed the moment the gang members surrounded the cyclist on a sidewalk in the Bronx after having pushed him from his bike. One person, wearing a black top can be seen holding a large stick
Recently released NYPD crime statistics for September 2021 showed the city had 1,526 shooting victims this year through October 17, nearly double the amount of gun violence victims through the same time as 2019, which had 760. There were 1,507 shooting victims through October 17 of last year.
The data recorded 89 shooting victims 17-years-old and younger from January 1 to September 26 of this year. In 2019, there were 45 shooting victims 17-years-old and younger during the same time period.
Of those injured in shootings, 16 young people were killed by gun violence between January 1 and September 26 – an increase of more than 136% compared with the same time period in 2019, when three children or teens were killed.
The attempted bike theft is the latest incident in a string of crimes to have plagued New York over the last year.
Crime has sky rocketed in New York City, while rates have stayed relatively consistent with last year, they have more than doubled since 2019 in some cases including shooting victims
Over the weekend, a thief who tried to rob a smoke shop in the Bronx found himself pinned to the floor and beaten up by members of staff.
New York Police Department are currently appealing for help in finding the man who attempted to attack the Convenience Smoke Shop, in the Kingsbridge Heights district on Saturday night at around 11:40pm.
The man, in a grey hoodie, was caught on security footage walking into the store and demanding money.
When he attempted to leap over the counter, the two men working in the store hauled him to the ground and pummeled him with their fists – the battered thief then apparently ran away.
In a separate incident, over the weekend, a thief was caught trying to rob a smoke shop in the Bronx by leaning over the shop counter
No injuries were reported and the NYPD is offering a reward of $3,500 for information that leads to the man's arrest.

Out of state drivers-- we have all complained about them at one point in time, that's for sure. You grit your teeth and growl quietly at their driving habits, honk your horn because they are oblivious when they are sitting at a green light. One thing seems to be certain with the out of state plates, however… they have no idea what the left lanes on the interstate are used for.
This one is a default on the list. Ever since I could remember, anyone that lived in Colorado always complained about the drivers from California. They drive too fast or too aggressively and think that I-25 is their own personal racetrack.
More often than not, you will see a car with Nebraska plate seemingly floating from one side of their lane to the other. Keeping most of the other drivers anxious around them, not sure if they are going to drift into their lane or not. Chances are that Nebraskans are in awe of the majestic scenery of Colorado whilst driving. Let's face it, the only thing Nebraska has is corn.
I lived in the Sunshine State for seven years. Floridians don't just drive badly here, they drive badly everywhere they go. If I see a car with Florida plates while I am driving, I usually tend to avoid it at all costs. The old people drive 10 – 15 miles under the speed limit in their Buicks and the SUV's from Florida are swerving all over the road because they don't know how to put down their phones while driving. Don't even get me started on them when winter rolls around. They get scared at the littlest spit of a flurry.
These hot tempered drivers seem to think that everyone should get out of their way when they are on the roads in Colorado. Chances are, if you are going to get cut off to the point where you have to SLAM on your brakes, it will be a car from the Lone Star State.
When you spot an Alabama plate on I-25 going north or south, they'll be in the left lane, going 60 mph or less. Almost always you'll see the passenger or driver will have their hand out the window pointing to the west towards the mountains. We get it, they are huge, awesome and something you want to look at. The interstate isn't the place for your photo opportunity. Pull over to an exit and get out of the way because you are holding up traffic and could cause an accident.
I don't get it. They are our closest neighbor to the north, but they drive like they have no idea what is going on. How can someone from a state that has an 80 mph speed limit drive so slowly? The speed limit on I-25 is 75, not 50! Also, the left lane is for passing, not your "cruising casually" lane.
These may be in state tags, but we here in Colorado can spot you "out of staters" a mile away. You have a very hard time parallel parking and either driving too slow or way too fast. There is no in between. We know you have a rental car because of that red fleet tag.

Big Gold Dreams boxset shows the richness of Scotland's independent music scene
For a country of just over five million people, it's truly astonishing how many top-notch bands and musicians Scotland has produced over the years.
By Gary Welford
Updated Sunday, 24th February 2019, 4:02 pm
Big Gold Dreams: A Story of Scottish Independent Music 1977-1989 (Cherry Red)
From '60s artists like Donovan and Jack Bruce, to early '70s stars like Nazareth and the Bay City Rollers, there always seems to have been a Celtic influence around popular music.
Fast-forward to 1977, while the energy wave of punk may have taken its time to reach Scotland, once it did there was a wealth of young musicians, promoters and labels keen to embrace it.
The Rezillos
Once the Edinburgh-based Rezillos released their bubblegum trash-punk debut I Can't Stand My Baby, which kicks off this 115-track, 5CD set, the genie was out of the bottle.
The tidal wave of talent culminating in a huge-selling artists like Wet Wet Wet, Big Country, The Proclaimers and Lloyd Cole And The Commotions enjoying major success in the 80s and 90s - none of whom are featured here because they were on major labels.
It's not them that the handsome book-sized boxset Big Gold Dreams: A Story of Scottish Independent Music 1977-1989 concerns itself with, however, it's the bands who started out on tiny labels, making some truly innovative music, and paving the way for what remains a still-thriving independent scene today.
Some were destined for great things, like The Skids, represented here by Reasons, the lead track from their debut EP, and Simple Minds, whose early single Chelsea Girl is one of the highlights of disc one.
The Skids were one of the Scottish indie bands who would go on to enjoy chart success.
Simple Minds weren't Jim Kerr's first band, however, that honour fell to Johnny & The Self Abusers, who released a lone single in 1977, and its B-side Dead Vandals is featured here.
How about P.V.C. 2, whose single Put You In The Picture featured a young Midge Ure after he flirted with being a teenybop idol fronting Slik but before his mega–selling chart success with Ultravox.
Mike Scott, who went on to enjoy big success with The Waterboys, is found in early band Another Pretty Face, whose Mod-ish tune All The Boys Love Carrie was named single of the week by the then-influential NME.
Anyone who knows their 70s new wave will recognise The Jolt's See Saw, gifted to the band by none other than its writer, The Jam's Paul Weller, before he stuck it on the B-side of The Eton Rifles.
And if Shake's Culture Shock sounds familiar, that's because it was written and performed live by The Rezillos, and recorded here by the band they formed after the Top Of The Pops idols split.
Fire Exit are still going 40 years after releasing Time Wall, their jagged contribution here, while The Freeze's Paranoia is a fuzzy-guitared slice of Buzzcocks-like pop-punk.
Disc two kicks off with Altered Images' Dead Pop Stars, a song which owed much to the proto-goth sound of Siouxsie and the Banshees, and was a million miles away from twee pop of later hits.
Some of the most important post-punk bands of the day are featured on this disc, such as The Associates, Josef K and Fire Engines (whose Big Gold Dream gives this set its name) – try listening to the last two and then put on a Franz Ferdinand record if you doubt their influence.
Goodbye Mr Mackenzie, featuring future Garbage singer Shirley Manson on the right.
As the '80s progressed the music became smoother, and that's reflected in disc three, where you'll find the likes of Cocteau Twins, The Bluebells (with the wonderful Cath), The Waterboys, Strawberry Switchblade, Aztec Camera and The Pastels.
You'll also find a band who could never be described as smooth, The Jesus And Mary Chain, one of the best Scottish exports of these fertile musical times, with their feedback-drenched debut Upside Down.
Another of the big names, Primal Scream, get disc four underway with their 1985 debut single All Fall Down, and other familiar names include Del Amitri, The Soup Dragons, BMX Bandits and Goodbye Mr Mackenzie (whose keyboard player and backing vocalist Shirley Manson would go on to find fame with Garbage).
Disc five starts with The Shamen, from Aberdeen, whose Happy Days sounds as far away from their chart-topping notoriety with acid house classic Ebeneezer Goode as it's possible to get.
Times weren't quite-a-changing just yet, however, and guitar bands were still very much in vogue as the decade came to a close, as evidenced by the likes of The Vaselines (later hailed as an influence by no less a figurehead than Nirvana grunge god Kurt Cobain), This Poison! and the spendidly-name Dog Faced Hermans, who added trumpets to the indie brew.
As ever with Cherry Red releases, if you look beyond the familiar names you'll find plenty of gems in here you've never heard before: Fun 4's delightfully lo-fi slice of punk rock Singing In The Showers, TV21's jaunty Playing With Fire, and You Supply The Roses by Memphis were all new to me, as were many other tracks.
Like any set there are bound to be omissions, presumably for licensing reasons; hence we have to do without hardcore punks The Exploited, blue-eyed soul boys Hue And Cry and the most indie band of them all, Postcard label pin-ups Orange Juice (though founder member Edwyn Collins is here as a solo artist).
The Scottish indie scene continues to produce fine artists to this day, but this fertile period is when it all began. 8/10.

Handbags + Handguns: She spins until she falls down.
It's been a long and strenuous week. I've been up late every night. Winter Olympics, I wish I knew how to quit you. I've been stressed to get things done at work. I'm going to Massachusetts for a conference tomorrow. I'll be back Wednesday night. I haven't flown in almost three years. I'm mostly looking forward to it. I've already bought snacks, glossy magazines and a few good reads. I will miss my family, but plan to spend my nights enjoying the peace and quiet of my hotel room.
Have a wonderful time. I wish I could just get one night away by myself. My two year old had a bad night and slept on my head last night. Literally. Every time I moved her off, she climbed back over.
sometimes i love the feel of a huge, comfy king-sized hotel bed and nice goose-down pillows and duvets. a good book, my laptop, and some earl grey tea is all i need.
Work will be dull w/o you..
Ohh, I am indeed a little jealous of your solitary plane ride. What books do you have to read?
Ooo enjoy the quiet! I love to sit and read in the complete silence. It's wonderful!
Wishing you safe travels! And this post *really* makes me want to go on The Husband's next business trip with him!! That time alone while he's working is lovely!
That sounds absolutely blissful. Enjoy!
And I was just telling J, I've really been enjoying the Olympics, but I'm ready for them to be over, so we can spend our tv time glued to all the regular shows. Haha.
My husband was up late watching the Olympics too. Hope you have a great time at the conference!
I'm jealous of the alone time, but flying makes me poop.
And, yeah, the Olympics need to end so I can get some sleep!
Enjoy some alone time! I am hooked on the Olympics as well, except curling (is that really a sport??).

Notice IdVisita is the index here and numbers might not be all consecutive.
Any clues?

A: Your error here is that you are calling OneHotEncoder which from the docs

The input to this transformer should be a matrix of integers

but your df has a single column 'cat1' which is of dtype object which is in fact a String.
You should use LabelEcnoder:
In [13]:

le = preprocessing.LabelEncoder()
le.fit(df.dropna().values)
le.classes_
C:\WinPython-64bit-3.3.3.2\python-3.3.3.amd64\lib\site-packages\sklearn\preprocessing\label.py:108: DataConversionWarning: A column-vector y was passed when a 1d array was expected. Please change the shape of y to (n_samples, ), for example using ravel().
  y = column_or_1d(y, warn=True)
Out[13]:
array(['Reescribe-medios-clases-online', 'eventos', 'grados', 'latam',
       'postgrados'], dtype=object)

Note I had to drop the NaN row as this will introduce a mixed dtype which cannot be used for ordering e.g. float > str will not work

A: A simpler approach is to use DictVectorizer, which does the conversion to integer as well as the OneHotEncoding at the same step.
Using it with the argument DictVectorizer(sparse=False) allows getting a DataFrame after the fit_transform to keep working with Pandas.

I have been waiting, not so patiently at times, for the release of this book since Mandi Beck hooked me with Deacon and Frankie and all their crazy in Love Hurts. YES- you need to read Love Hurts (why haven't you already?) I have to say, the wait was well worth it- Love Burns gave me everything I wanted, a few things I didn't and all the feels in between. This book grabbed me by the head and heart from the prologue and kept me hooked until the very last page. It was fast paced and full of passion.
I thought I loved Deacon before but I was wrong. Calling him intense is putting it mildly. He had his two focuses, fighting and Frankie and nothing was going to stand in his way of either. I loved this dirty talking, man bun sporting, pink wearing fighter. He stepped up big time in this book, consequences, cars and faces be damned- he was going to do whatever it took to keep his Princess safe. His true colors came out when Frankie drops a bomb on the whole clan. Here was this big, bad, alpha to the extreme man being extra attentive and tender (insert swoon here).
But this is Deacon and Frankie, the good is great and the bad is terrible. And what a tangled web of lies, betrayal and deceit are uncovered. The depth of danger everyone thought they were in was nothing compared to the reality of it all. I loved all the dark and convoluted and even heartbreaking twists this book took. But through it all, there was Deacon and Frankie- fighting. Not just for themselves but for each other. And when they finally started to fight for the future that they wanted together, it was like the storm clouds parted, the sun came out and the birds sang.
I am still reeling from all the emotions this book brought out in me. Yes Mandi Beck, you did that & I feel you. I felt all of it; every punch, dodge and fight. Every laugh, every tear, every gasp- I was there. Thank you for giving Frankie and Deacon a story that was uniquely theirs and that was as intense and passionate as they were. Thank you for not taking the easy road but for making it gritty and raw and ugly at times- just like love and life. You made me laugh, swoon, cry, and think about the things that are really worth fighting for. And that ending, couldn't have been more perfectly Frankie and Deacon.


All Progressives Congress (APC) party wishes all Nigerians a happy Valentines Day as they join the rest of the world to celebrate the lovers day.
National Publicity Secretary for the Party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed said the insistence of PDP and Jonathan Administration that the suffering of Nigerians must be prolonged for another six weeks. And that the Valentines day which is a global celebration of love and affection would also marked the celebration of freedom from the PDP servitude by all Nigerians.
Lai Mohammed statement reads; "Saturday, Feb. 14th would have been a day of double celebration, of Valentine's Day and of the liberation of the long-suffering people of Nigeria from the burden imposed on them by a clueless, incompetent and purposeless PDP federal government.
"While they could not change Valentine's Day from Feb. 14th, they have temporarily delayed the celebration of freedom by their orchestrated six-week postponement of the elections. Nigerians should see this as a temporary setback. They should continue to maintain their unwavering enthusiasm for change by getting their PVCs ready to vote out the yoke masters.

Contact Press release: Marsh & Parsons opens 25th branch in Tooting
Press release: Marsh & Parsons opens 25th branch in Tooting
Marsh & Parsons will be celebrating their 25th branch this month, unveiling a new office in Tooting.
Opening on January 11th 2016, the Tooting office will further strengthen the business in South West London, and complement its existing presence around Balham, Battersea and Clapham. The site on Upper Tooting Road has been extensively remodelled at a cost of £200,000, in order to mirror the elegant design of other existing offices.
The Tooting office will be a landmark launch for Marsh & Parsons as their first new opening in 2016, and will also be their 25th branch within the capital. Following the estate agencys successful openings in Queens Park and Shoreditch in 2015, Marsh & Parsons plan on launching a further three new offices throughout the year as part of their continuing growth strategy.
To celebrate the opening, Marsh & Parsons will be offering homeowners in the area a special 0% sales fee in the first three months, until 24th March 2016. This is an impressive discount from the standard 2% commission, saving local customers approximately 13,100 per sale on average.
Peter Rollings, Chief Executive at Marsh & Parsons, comments: Its a case of New Year, new branch for Marsh & Parsons and were starting 2016 as we mean to go on. Weve been around in the London property market since 1856, and its only fitting that our landmark 25th branch should be opening in our traditional south west London stronghold. With fast transport links into Central London, a vibrant high street, and the greenery of the common, Tooting is firmly on the radar for buyers and tenants as offering better value for money, and was a logical progression for us to extend our reach from nearby Balham and Clapham. But the celebrations wont stop for us in January, and this is just the first phase in our exciting plans for expansion in 2016.
"Our tried and tested 0% sales commission campaign is designed to give homeowners a juicy taster of the exceptional customer service and results we deliver, and get the locals talking about us and spreading the word. Historically, it has proved a popular way to introduce ourselves to a new neighbourhood and having already been part of the local property scene via our Balham office for many years, we're really looking forward to meeting many more buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants when we open our doors in the New Year.
John-Paul Burrough will be taking up the position of sales manager for the Tooting office. Prior to this, he was a senior sales negotiator at their Balham branch, so he brings a wealth of local expertise to the role.
The lettings manager for Tooting will be Charlie Crane, who has worked at Marsh & Parsons for over three years most recently as a letting valuer in the Balham office.
Marsh & Parsons Tooting Office
29-31 Upper Tooting Road
SW17 7TS
[1] The average property value in Tooting is 656,506 (Zoopla, January 2016)

As our first writing assignment in English/Language Arts, students were asked to research the history of their name and write about their own opinions regarding their name and their understanding about how their name came about.
My parents spelled my name like "Kobe", because they had liked the way Kobe Brynt spelled his. They called me Kobe, because it was something my whole family agreed on. My parents also both like Kobe from the ideas. The ideas were Garrett, Colby, sterling, and Kobe.
My name is Jose and it comes from the bible and I like it. My name got picked by my mom, and my dad has the same the name as me. My mom looked the name Jose and what it ment and she like it. And that's the story of my name.
My mom named me Amillian because it stands for one in a million. But, she thought that I will be the only girl so she named me Amillian. My mom gave me the middle name Yolonda because its her middle name. My last name _______ is Irish and a decent. It's the variant of Kennedy and, it means helmet head. My whole name is long because of the amount of letters in it.
My name means many things. Also my name is the only one in my family. My mom gave me this name because she though it was in of kind. My name came from nowhere. There isn't many nicknames for my name other than Lud. And the fact that my name is the only one in my family makes me proud. Ludwing is the only name in urbana middle school.
The story behind my last name, _____, is really interesting! The second son of a knight was named Fitz _____ to differentiate himself from his older brother. We are related to him. He and other second sons came together to buy most of the land around Houghton. Eventually, we were a family on the border of Scotland and England, and we were reevers, or robbers. We stole cattle from the wealthy. To this day, there is still a street named _____ Lane, which would have led to _____ Manor.
My name was chosen from my mom. When I was first born my mom and dad was thinking of a name and they choses Mariana. They chose that name because when my mom was in Mexico she took care of a little girl and that is where she got the name for me. But my dad wanted to name me margarita but my mom did not like that name she said to my dad no I like Mariana so that is my story of my name.
My parents decided to name me Zoe. They decided on my name because the liked the sound of it, they liked the meaning, it's not a super common name, and it reflects parts of my heritage because Zoë, with an umlout, is German, and the French also use that name. I then questioned about my middle name, Liufen. My parents chose Liufen because it is my maternal grandmother's first name, and it also reflects my Chinese heritage. They also liked the sound and meaning.
My name is Tyler Allen _____. My Dad picked my name. My middle name is after my uncle chad allen _____. My name is special To me because my dad chose it. My sister Alhana started calling me TyTy one day, Now everyone in my House calls me ThaT inless im in Trouble Then I hear Tyler Allen!!! If my dad didn't chose Tyler He would of chose Roger Dean meade because it's was past down through The family. That is the story of my life.
My name is Hazheer _______ all my names have a meaning but I don't know what my two middle names mean. All my names are muslim because my dad is muslim. My dad got me my brothers and sisters names from a muslim name website. He chose my name for a reason because Hazheer means king and ________ mean chosen one. And when I was born my dad changed his name to my name because at first his name was Robert. And my whole name is Hazheer Khalif Abdul _________ and if you think it's a weird name its ok because I don't like my last name. Because it sounds stupid I just like the meaning of it. So this is my autobiography and thank you for it goodbye. And one more thing if you don't want to call me Hazheer you can call me Haze my nickname.
My parents named me Jacob because it was my dad's grandfather's name. That seemed interesting to me that they named me after that grandfather. They also told me that the name Jacob just sounded right to them. They also says it goes with my face. My middle name is Patrick because I was supposed to be born on St. Patrick's Day. I was born five days late. We are also catholic so it just seemed like the right the right middle name for me.
My name is Cora Ruth _______, and I discovered that I was named after my great grandmother on my dad's side. I was named after her because she was a very nice person, but sadly I never got to meet her. I also got my middle name from her. I found out that Cora means maiden. Persophone in Greek Mythology was nicknamed Kore or Cora. The last thing I found out was that the ________'s originated from Ireland. This has been my name autobiography.
My first name (Tyzah) is Swahili. My first name really makes me special because of its meaning, Most Honorable and Warrior. My mom named me Tyzah because she wanted me to live up to my names meaning. I was named Tyzah before my birth during the pregnancy, the 7th month, which was August. My middle name doesn't really have a meaning but I was named Vontice after a special person to my mom and dad who had died from cancer at a young high school age.

Q: How to invoke partial view from action method i want to invoke partial view from action method with passing model data and when  partial view will be process and UI generated then i want to store the partial view html in variable with in action .
i know that people often load partial view from JavaScript like the below way and store partial view result into js variable.
so just guide me if possible to invoke partial view from action method and how to store partial view result into variable with in action method. thanks
public PartialViewResult yourpartialviewresult()
{
    return PartialView("partialview", model);
}

client side
-----------
var html;

$.ajax({
    type: 'GET',
    url: '/home/yourpartialviewresult',
    dataType: 'html', //be sure to use html dataType
    contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
    success: function(data){
        html = data;
    },
    complete: function(){ }
 });

A: You can render Partial Views directly into the View Using Html.Partial or Html.Action. Both return a MvcHtmlString, so makes this simple:
Using Html.Partial
<script type="text/javascript">
    var html = '@Html.Raw(Html.Partial("_Partial", Model).ToString().Replace("\r\n", ""))';
</script>

Using Html.Acition
<script type="text/javascript">
    var html = '@Html.Raw(Html.Action("actionName", "controllerName").ToString().Replace("\r\n", ""))';
</script>

This code calls the strongly Partial View, passing the Model. Converting It into a string is necessary to replace all scape '\r\n' characteres.
Then, using HTML.Raw return a Raw HTML string.
This code must stay into the View that you are creating the variable.
Works like a charm here!

A: First you can create a method as, which will accept ViewName and Model it will return HTML string
public static string RenderRazorViewToString(ControllerContext controllerContext, string viewName, object model)
{
    controllerContext.Controller.ViewData.Model = model;
    using (var sw = new StringWriter())
    {
        var viewResult = ViewEngines.Engines.FindPartialView(controllerContext, viewName);
        var viewContext = new ViewContext(controllerContext, viewResult.View,
                controllerContext.Controller.ViewData, controllerContext.Controller.TempData, sw);
        viewResult.View.Render(viewContext, sw);
        viewResult.ViewEngine.ReleaseView(controllerContext, viewResult.View);
        return sw.GetStringBuilder().ToString();
    }
}

Usage also you have to return JsonResult instead of PartialViewResult
public JsonResult yourpartialviewresult()
{
    return Json(new
            {
                data = RenderRazorViewToString(this.ControllerContext, "partialview", model)
            });
}
