A special preview of the premiere of "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution" will air Sunday, March 21 (10:01 p.m.-11:00 p.m., ET) and will be repeated on Friday, March 26 (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET). The second episode will air from 9:00-10:00 p.m., ET, in the series' regular time period.
Please note: "Wife Swap's" season premiere moves to Friday, April 2 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET)
"Episode 101" � Jamie Oliver, the impassioned chef, TV personality and best-selling author, is starting a revolution in America, taking on the high statistics of obesity, heart disease and diabetes in this country, where our nation's children are the first generation not expected to live as long as their parents. Oliver invites viewers to take a stand and change the way America eats, in our home and schools, with the thought-provoking new series, "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution," debuting SUNDAY, MARCH 21 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network and repeating FRIDAY, MARCH 26 (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET). The series will run for six episodes.
In the series premiere, Oliver heads to Huntington, West Virginia � which has been called the unhealthiest city in America -- to start his new cooking initiative. He hopes to start a chain reaction of positive change across the country. Jamie says that nearly half of the adults in Huntington are considered obese, and incidents of heart disease and diabetes lead the nation. This nation's children are the first generation expected to live a shorter life than their parents do. Jamie initially meets naysayers and resistance. Battling ingrained unhealthy habits, bureaucracy, limited financial resources, and apathy, his early efforts are threatened when a news article overseas misquotes him badmouthing the local populace and their diet. Bloodied but unbowed, Jamie is more determined than ever to transform one community as a template for the entire country. The stakes? Simply the health of our country's citizens and the legacy for its children.
"Episode 102" -- Jamie Oliver takes one step forward and two steps back as his efforts to transform the school lunch program of Huntington, West Virginia's Central City Elementary School are met with harsh criticism and resistance from the school cook, Alice Gue, plus city administrators, DJ Rod and even the school's first graders. But despite the opposition, he does successfully raise the ire of school parents with a shocking, no-nonsense display of the fat that's being fed to their children, and he's encouraged by the initiative of a few caring teachers. The Edwards family get a wake-up call when youngest son, Justin, gets a frank warning from a doctor about the long term health effects of his poor eating habits, but then Justin is encouraged by a one-on-one cooking lesson in Jamie's kitchen. After a week of ups and downs at Central City Elementary, the fate of Jamie's mission to stay on at the school lies in the hands of a few district administrators, on "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution," FRIDAY, MARCH 26 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
The series is produced by Ryan Seacrest Productions and Fresh One Productions. Executive producers of "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution" are Jamie Oliver, Ryan Seacrest and Craig Armstrong ("Extreme Makeover: Home Edition").
This program carries a TV-PG,L parental guideline.

To what extent does your personality....

Any truth to this statement? I'm not sure.
The better you can imitate, the better drummer you are.
Perhaps. I believe in the beginning we all imitate. But through that you assimilate a d you start coming out anyway. I think it's good to nail the sound or the feel when doing covers but even when you do that, who you are comes through anyway.

I tend to think it is possible to appreciate music from a musician you otherwise wouldn't like if you knew him/her.
A good example is Hilary Jones. I think she's a fine drummer and I really like what she plays. But she's pretty extreme politically and I find her a bit tough to take. When she plays music, she doesn't come across at all the way she does when she's writing.
There are a lot of other musicians whose music I enjoy but who aren't the best people. So I dunno.
Good example, Larry. It shows the beauty of music, where what we play gives no indication of our religion or politics (lyrics notwithstanding). Truly the universal language ...
... as long as it's not C&W, metal, thrash, hip hop, modern RnB or autotune pop
Actually, going the other way, I had a good pal in a previous job who worked in IT but played in a metal band on the side and was way into Rammstein, which I hated. He was a great guy and I enjoyed the passion he had for his music. I'm friends with quite a few metalheads here too, some of whom no doubt find my band's music dull.
Another example, around 1980 my band was supported by a band called The Real F* Idiots and they made the most evil horrible din that made grunge sound like Steely Dan ... lovely people

There's a famous jazz quite about growth a s musician through our influences - assimilate, imitate, innovate
I believe in the beginning we all imitate. But through that you assimilate a d you start coming out anyway.
I guess that depends on your definition of "assimilate": if one means to make like to or to cause to resemble, then "assimilate" and "imitate" are synonymous. If one means to absorb and (metaphorically) incorporate, then I would say that is close to the mark for how I go about it.
Having played in originals bands for the last decade or so I've recently gone back to playing standards/other people's music; typically I will listen to the recordings and work out the basic arrangement (4 bar Intro, 8 bars Verse, 8 bars Chorus, Middle 8 etc) and then ignore almost everything about the original artist's version and treat the song as if we had written it: so from that point it is down to my relationship with the bass player to establish a groove and the leads and vocal do their thing on top of it and so on . . .
Interestingly, I've found that covers of covers are sometimes a more preferable reference point. We started playing Glory Box by Portishead recently and their arrangement and little details (e.g. the echo-chamber loop at the end) didn't really suit us; the version played by John Martyn was much more our thing so I chose that version as my inspiration before we started patching together our take on the song.
Mad About Drums
Pollyanna's Agent
Which begs the question.....if I don't care for a drummer personally, like if I think they are closed minded boorish and shut off...does that mean our drumming sensibilties will clash as well?
All I can say is that there's drummers and musicians that I admire in the professional world of music, through their playing, nothing else, I don't know them, other than what I feel when I listen to them, I do not know their respective personality, but you can read a lot into body language and since our personality is showing through what we play, my guess is that the one who I admire will have a personality which I could get along with, providing of course that the feeling is mutual, as far as personality is concerned
I like Hilary Jones's playing, and yes, she's into political stuff nowadays, but musicaly, there's good chances that I'll like her personality, the fact that she feel strongly about a political view doesn't bother me, many of my musicians friends which I can relate both on a personality level as well as a musician have strong feelings about certain aspect of life and have very different opinions than mine, it doesn't create a barrier, on the contrary, it's the emphasis of great discussions on a given topic, admittedly, often about music, since it's were our common ground is based
drumfreak1987
when i play, people can tell i have a sense of humor, 'cause my drumming is a joke!!! haha!
I'm not sure you're making a fair statement. Politics, like religion, are just those things people don't discuss, and probably shouldn't, because they're personal and it doesn't really matter which way you lean at all, when you look at the music we all make.
Yeah, don't get me wrong. I don't enjoy discussing politics, either. And it certainly won't stop me from listening to the music a person makes. But larry asked the question about whether personality comes through in how a musician played. I think a person's political views are part of their personality and I guess I'm saying a musician's playing can have nothing to do with their personality.
In this instance, if Hilary is passionate about her playing and makes great music regardless, then it doesn't matter, right?
Yes, I agree. It doesn't matter.
You're also implying that she might not be the 'best people' because of those politics? Then the same thing could be said of every one of us here because we all don't think the same, especially when it comes to politics and religion. another reason why we don't discuss those here, right?
I wasn't implying Hilary isn't a good person. I was thinking of people like Miles who apparently was abusive towards women, among other things. Yet I find his music positively beautiful. Again, I'm using examples to show that I believe musician's music and personality can be distinct.
Sorry to derail, I just wanted to point that out before this thread becomes some kind of political (and/or religious) hate-fest. Am I wrong here? Correct me if I'm wrong if I've over-stepped a boundary.
Not at all. I probably wasn't clear enough about what I was trying to say.
KarlCrafton said:
8 mile, I take it you are "friends" with Hilary on facebook (or were)?
Karl,
No, but someone mentioned it on the internet and I checked some of the stuff on her page out. I was struck by how there wasn't anything music-related on her page and it was pretty much all politics. And kind of angry-sounding political stuff, at that. And yet, when she plays music, it's very loose, swingin' and relaxed. I perceived a dichotomy there. But I've never met her, so my take is probably kind of flimsy here.
I've read a comment on the net where someone said that her drumming and politics had a common thread of aggression. From what I've seen, her playing seems more lyrical than aggressive but I've only heard a tiny portion of her work.
Then again, I've known some very mellow metalheads - for them it's possibly a catharsis that allows them to remain mellow. I believe that our drumming is inevitably a reflection of our personalities, but not necessarily our public face or even our conscious selves. How far do we peel the onion?
Also, the other musicians and the song make a huge difference ... we are not the same person to everyone, eg. some people find themselves regressing when with their parents, falling into the same old dynamics. Same thing can happen when you get to play a song from 25 years ago ... you immediately tend towards your old approach, even when your style has changed.
We're very different people to our spouses, children, friends, workmates, strangers etc. So it comes down to "Which personality??". You could never analyse this scientifically because it would be impossible to establish reliable controls.
I'm cool. I just wanted to present a fair representation. People can be however they want to be so long as no one's getting hurt. I'm sure there are many people who agree with her, as well as people who don't. To each his own, I guess.
unfunkyfooted
forgive me for injecting myself into your convo if it is meant to be an "A and B Conversation", but i had a thought that may (or may not) be relative.
i do not know who Hillary Jones is or what her politics are, but the thought occurred to me that perhaps her music is her solace. it is the place where everything is right - especially if it is her music. however it kills her, breaks her heart, sends daggers into her spine, makes her crazy (you get the idea) that the world is not like the groovy place that is her music. and she cannot sit idly by while there are those "others" espousing those "other views" (whatever they are, or who those "others" might be) and making her world a much worse place than she would like for it to be..
so she rails.
and then...there is her music : ) .
isn't that usually the case ? there's "Who I Am" and then there's "What I Have To Deal With And How It Effects Me".
unfunkyfooted said:
That's a cool way of looking at it too
thanks Bo.
i'm sure there are "other" takes as well.
Uncle Ghee, love your work. Yes, so often music is a haven or catharsis rather than an expression of our overt personalities.
I've known and seen too many hopeless, using, unreliable, dishonest, flea-bitten, alcoholic, shambling, unorganised, scrounging, delusional no hopers play music like an angel to think otherwise
DRUMMERWORLD PRO DRUMMER
Its a good thing to have your personality come through no matter what your playing. That's your mark, that's what makes us all different. I can copy a drum part but it always sounds like me playing it. Why would you want to sound exactly like another drummer anyway. You need to always sound like you. I think that's very important.
Great point and great way of looking at it. It's funny, because I never thought of it that way, but I probably should have, because in a lot of ways, it's true for me. I always talk about how music is an escape from the stress of the job and the mechanics of office politics. I bet a lot of people I work with would be surprised how differently I come across on the bandstand.
I think my initial point has been completely refuted by now. We all wear masks to play certain roles. Maybe the way to think of it is that our musical expression conveys a certain facet of our personalities. Maybe not the one everyone gets to see, but a very real and important one, nonetheless.
thanks Polisimo. the feeling is very mutual.
i know what you mean. Dad probably doesn't want to be remembered as a screaming maniac. he'd probably rather be fishing.
?uesto
Musicality and appropriation and reservation and maturity. I think these are heavy aspects of my personality and my playing.

Generator believed to have sparked fire at South San Diego home
By: Jermaine Ong
SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- A fire tore through a South San Diego house Thursday morning, leaving a family without a home less than a week before Christmas.
The fire was reported at around 2:45 a.m. in the 1700 block of Thelborn Way, according to San Diego police.
10News learned the O'Keefe family had been using a generator in the backyard to feed power to the home, and police believe the generator may have sparked the blaze.
The flames quickly spread from the yard to the back of the house, prompting homeowner Mke O'Keefe, his wife, their adult son, their two teen daughters, and their pets to escape.
O'Keefe said, "I don't even know what woke me up. I just woke up."
While the family and pets -- a dog, a cat, a pig and two bunnies -- got out of the home without injury, police said much of the house was completely destroyed. 10News later learned a third bunny did not survive the fire.
O'Keefe added, "It wasn't real big when I went out there, but the fire extinguisher didn't put it out and everything just caught on fire so fast."
Police told 10News the family was using the generator because there was no electricity running at the house. A neighbor suggested that the family may have been going through some rough times.
"I tried to talk to them but they don't want anybody to know," said neighbor Cesar Hernandez.
10News was told that the family lost many, if not all, of their possessions in the fire, including Christmas gifts.
The Red Cross was called to assist the family and their pets with lodging.
The VFW Imperial Beach, where O'Keefe's wife and two daughters volunteer, is taking donations and pet food for the family; anyone willing to donate can stop by the VFW Post 5477 office at 123 Palm Avenue.
A GoFundMe account was also established to help the family as they try to recover from the loss of their home and possessions.
The fire remains under investigation.


Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX), Big Oil from California, is down for the last month and quarter of market action. Like other Big Oil stocks such as Royal Shell (NYSE: RDS-B), BP PLC (NYSE: BP) and ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) that have fallen, investors should look upon this as an opportunity to develop long term holdings at a discount. Many previous articles have detailed the appeal of ExxonMobil, BP PLC, and other Big Oil stocks. It is the same with Chevron Corporation.
Like an oil field played out, Chevron has been pretty much flat for the last year of market action.
This year has not been much better, either. For 2014, Chevron has risen by just over 2.5 percent. The last year of market action has seen Chevron gain right around 3 percent (chart below). This has been much the same story with BP, ExxonMobil, and Royal Dutch Shell.
The potential for Chevron to deliver healthy total returns is as bullish as other Big Oil stocks, too, though.
There is not going to be huge growth from any Big Oil stocks. It is simply not going to happen due to the size of the entities involved. ExxonMobil is the biggest publicly traded company in the world. The second biggest oil firm in the world is Royal Dutch Shell. Chevron has a market capitalization of close to $240 billion. Firms that size do not deliver huge growth.
But for long term investors, the total return from Chevron should be rewarding.
A large part of that is due to the dividend yield of Chevron. At present, the dividend yield of Chevron Corporation is 3.43%. For a member of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, it is under 2 percent. Like ExxonMobil, Chevron is a "Dividend Aristocrat." That means that it has increased its dividend annually for at least past 25 years. When the dividend amount is increased, income investors get a raise simply for not selling the stock.
From that, long term investors in Chevron should be profit from a rewarding total return!

Headed to Packers training camp? 10 fun things to do within walking distance, whether you're an experienced local or out-of-town rookie
GREEN BAY - With fans allowed back at Green Bay Packers training camp this year, the area around Ray Nitschke Field and Lambeau Field is again bustling with green and gold.
Whether you're a local popping over for a look at the action or an out-of-town fan making a vacation of it, here's 10 fun things you can do while you're there, all within walking distance from training camp.
1. Lick a beer cone at Badger State Brewing Co.
Thirsty railbirds can cool off with a Caddyshack Small Hazy IPA, a Coconut Pineapple House Seltzer or countless other choices on tap at 990 Tony Canadeo Run, but how about a beer cone out in the beer garden? A new addition this summer, Badger State uses a custom-made "beer-cream machine" to whip a new flavor each week.
Cirrusly Fruity, for example, featured the Cirrusly Cloudy IPA and mango and guava puree. Caffeine Machine combined the Buzzy Blonde Cream Ale with cold brew and Hershey's syrup.
Beer cones aren't made with dairy, so they're not technically ice cream. They're more akin to sherbet, said Jen Radloff, Badger State's event and entertainment director, and they've been extremely popular.
"It has been bigger than we could have anticipated," she said.
Beer cones (or served in 10-ounce glasses) are available on a consistent basis, but sometimes they do sell out. And just a reminder, you must be 21 or older to have one.

2. Roll down Ariens Hill
After all that neck craning and bleacher sitting at Ray Nitschke Field, stretch out and R-E-L-A-X by rolling down the lush grass of Ariens Hill. It's a rite of summer for Titletown District visitors, no matter if you're a kid or an adult. You just climb the 78 steps (or take the elevator) to the top, make yourself horizontal, and let gravity and giggling do the rest.
Before you roll with it, make sure to grab a selfie from the top, which offers one of the best views of Lambeau Field in the city.
Once back on ground level, treat yourself to gelato from 46 Below, the bistro tucked under Ariens Hill. Flavors sometimes rotate in and out, so choices change. Unicorn and Birthday Cake tend to be favorite with kids.
Titletown District is open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Admission is free. It is filled with activities, including game courts, sidewalk chalk art, a playground, a regulation-size football field and daily event programming

3. Ring the buzzer at Kroll's West
Its Green Bay roots go all the way back to 1936, but the family restaurant's current location at 1990 S. Ridge Road has been a Lambeau neighborhood landmark since 1974. Generations of locals have grown up with the charcoal-grilled butter burgers, cheese curds, homemade chili and broasted chicken, but for out-of-towners, its old-school charm is a folksy step back in time.
Slide everybody into one of the big, half-circle booths and press a buzzer when you're ready for your server to take your order. While you wait for your food, check out the glass cases along the dining room wall filled with Packers memorabilia and a wall of autographs from famous diners, including Bart Starr, Brett Favre, Reggie White, Don Hutson and John Madden.

4. Grab a Cheese Curd Burger at Green Bay Distillery
It's the No. 1 seller at the sports-themed restaurant at 835 Mike McCarthy Way, and it's as ooey-gooey as it sounds. A half-pound sirloin burger gets topped with melted cheese curds (sans the breading) and house pub sauce and served on a pretzel bun.
Wisconsinites know all about the deliciousness of curds — fresh, deep-fried or on a burger — but for out-of-town visitors during training camp and home Packers games, trying curds feels like the Wisconsin thing to do.
"We always sell many more cheese curds this time of year," said Kaylee Jerome, the Distillery's assistant general manager.
She recommends enjoying them out on the restaurant's patio, which is directly across from Ray Nitschke Field and offers a prime perch for taking in all of the training camp action. The Distillery even adds outdoor tables this time of year and blocks off some parking in its lot so as to not obstruct the view.

5. Get your Lambeau Leap photo op
A visit to the Lambeau Field Atrium is a given for the training camp crowd, whether for new gear from the Pro Shop, Mahi Mahi Tacos at 1919 Kitchen & Tap or a visit to the Packers Hall of Fame. With everything that awaits inside, it's easy to miss the Lambeau Leap statue outside on Harlan Plaza
You don't have to be LeRoy Butler good to get your heinie up on the wall, but it still takes a bit of a boost to pull off the photo opportunity with your feet off the ground. It's also a great people-watching spot, as fans come up with all kinds of celebratory poses. Need someone to snap a photo of the whole family? Just ask. Packers fans are good like that.

6. Eat/drink an Ultimate Bloody Mary at Anduzzi's Sports Club
Think of this over-the-top take on the humble bloody mary as the linebacker of cocktails — big and beefy. It starts with 32 ounces of vodka, tomato juice and spices, and then it's all up from there. The garnishes and skewers sticking out of the glass make for an impressively constructed tower of eats, including sliders, chicken wings, a beef and cheese goal post, pretzel bites and cherry tomatoes. It's no wonder it shows up often on Instagram.
It's not, however, for the light of appetite.
"It's the perfect meal and drink for two people," said Samantha Scott, Anduzzi's marketing director.
It sells for $30 and is available daily at 1992 Holmgren Way, as is the Ultimate Fish Bowl, a blue Hawaii tropical drink colorfully accessorized with cotton candy, Swedish fish, a full-size lollipop, marshmallows and other sweets. The Ultimate Mimosa, served only from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, comes with fruit, a chicken and waffle slider and Uncle Mike's Bake Shoppe's Sea Salt Caramel Pecan Kringle, for starters.
It doesn't just take extra time to polish one of those off, it takes extra time to make one, too, so allow 20 minutes or more when ordering.

7. Do the Oneida Nation Walk of Legends
You've driven by the statues that line Lombardi Avenue and other streets east of the stadium, but have you walked along them and read each one? The one-mile walk features 24 engraved granite and steel tributes to Packers legends and the team's history. Your chronological history lesson starts at Lombardi and Oneida Street and then heads east with stops on streets off of Lombardi, including Bart Starr Drive, Reggie White Way, Brett Favre Pass, Tony Canadeo Run and Holmgren Way.

8. Visit the Titletown District at night
For railbirds roosting overnight at a nearby hotel, a visit to Titletown in the evening offers a different vibe than by day. The Titletown Night Market from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. every Thursday is a festive summer party with food and drink, a beer garden, strings of lights, live music and a variety of vendors.
On Aug. 5, national recording artist Tae Verdes will perform a free acoustic WIXX Studio 101 concert at the market. Verdes became a TikTok star last year when his song "Stuck in the Middle" went viral and landed him a record deal. His new sunny pop hit, "A-O-K," is making waves this summer.
Other evening options include Titletown Beats concerts from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturdays and the return of Movies at Titletown at dusk on Ariens Hill beginning Aug. 6 with "Homeward Bound." Movies are free and run six consecutive Fridays through Sept. 10.
Full schedule of movies at titletown.com/events/calendar/movies-at-titletown.
9. Marvel at Grave Digger
Not to be confused with former Packers tackle Gilbert "The Gravedigger" Brown, this Grave Digger also makes a big impression and knows how to rev up a crowd.
It's one of the trucks in the Monster Jam fleet of super-sized dream machines that tip the scales at more than 10,000 pounds, stand 12 feet tall and have tires that are 66 inches high. It'll be parked out on the plaza in front of the Resch Complex, across Armed Forces Drive from training camp, on Friday afternoon for fans to see up close. It will kick up dust and crush cars during Monster Jam shows at 1 and 7 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday at Resch Center.
Tickets start at $23 at ticketstaronline.com and 800-895-0071.

Q: Get Current User when creating record . Odoo 14 I have a field many2one relation to res.users in point of sale like this :
  user_id = fields.Many2one(
        comodel_name='res.users', string='Responsible',
        help="Person who uses the cash register. It can be a reliever, a student or an interim employee.",
        default=lambda self: self.env.uid,
        states={'done': [('readonly', True)], 'invoiced': [('readonly', True)]},
    )

<field string="User" name="user_id"/>

I want to set it 'required' and empty field , but when saving record if the value of 'user_id' was empty , then get the current user.
I tried with this code , but required value was blocking:
@api.model
    def _default_user_id(self):
        if not self.user_id:
            self.user_id = self.env.uid
        else:
            self.user_id = False

    user_id = fields.Many2one(
        comodel_name='res.users',
        required=True,
        help="Person who uses the cash register. It can be a reliever, a student or an interim employee.",
        default=_default_user_id,
        states={'done': [('readonly', True)], 'invoiced': [('readonly', True)]},
    )

How can I do it ?
Thanks.

A: Change your default code
from

default=lambda self: self.env.uid,

to

default=lambda self: self.env.user,

EDIT-1
In this case, we need to override create() method instead of write logic in default function. With following code, it will check user_id field at the time of record create, if record doesn't have user_id, it will set current logged user.
@api.model
def create(self, vals):
    if "user_id" not in vals:
        vals.update({"user_id": self.env.user})
    record = super().create(vals)
    return record

EDIT-2
In this case, we need to write down default function.
def _default_user_id(self):
    if not self.user_id:
        return self.env.user
    return False

"In An Absolut World, There Are No Labels"
For the first time we dared to face the world completely naked. We launched a bottle with no label and no logo. The idea? To prove that no matter what's on the outside, it's what's on the inside that really matters.
Openly embracing the LGBTQ+ community has been a core value of the Absolut brand for as long as we can remember. With this No Label, Absolut once again showed its support for the LGBTQ+ community.
The strength of the iconic Absolut bottle design facilitated this initiative. How many other brands would be brave enough to entirely remove their name and logo from their product? By shedding our labels we encouraged consumers to discard theirs.
Relying on the strength of our iconic Absolut bottle design we took a leap of faith and removed our name and logo. By shedding our labels we encouraged others to discard theirs.
As a base for the campaign we created an online space to promote discussions about labels and prejudice associated with the LGBT community. This was complemented by a Facebook fan page and a No Label app, which users activated to show their support for a world without prejudice.
The initiative also included a creative collaboration with acclaimed men's magazine Fantastic Man. Together we produced a 24-page magazine featuring personal interviews around labels, misconceptions and prejudice.
Our naked bottle stood proud, inspiring others to do the same.

Q: AngularJS - Shared service object being deleted incorrectly When I trigger deleteQuestion() a second time 2 questions get deleted. Any idea? Let me know if you need to see more of my code.
controller.js
crtPromoCtrl.controller('surveyCtrl', ['$scope', 'surveySrv', function($scope, surveySrv)
{
    $scope.questions = surveySrv.getQuestions();

    $scope.editQuestion = function(index)
    {
        surveySrv.setEditQuestion(index);
    };

    $scope.deleteQuestion = function(index)
    {
        $(document).off('click', '#confirmationModal #confirm');
        $('#confirmationModal').modal('show');

        $(document).on('click', '#confirmationModal #confirm', function()
        {
            surveySrv.deleteQuestion(index);

            $scope.$apply();
        });
    };
}]);

service.js
crtPromoSrv.service('surveySrv', function()
{
    var questions = [];
    var editQuestion;

    this.getQuestions = function()
    {
        return questions;
    };

    this.addQuestion = function(question)
    {
        questions.push(question);
    };

    this.setEditQuestion = function(index)
    {
        editQuestion = questions[index];
    };

    this.getEditQuestion = function()
    {
        return editQuestion;
    };

    this.clearEditQuestion = function()
    {
        editQuestion = undefined;
    };

    this.deleteQuestion = function(index)
    {
        questions.splice(index, 1);
        console.log(questions);
    };
});

EDIT: I'm thinking it's an event propagation thing, since when I have 5 q's it deletes #2 and #3 when I delete #2.
EDIT: Fixed, see controller.js code.

A: It appears you are adding the 'click' function to your #confirmationModal #confirm button multiple times. The first time $scope.deleteQuestion is called, it adds the function. The second time you call it, it adds it again so when it is clicked, the function is called twice.
A simple fix would be to unbind the 'click' event before adding it again. Something like this: $('#confirmationModal #confirm').off('click');
The better solution here is to not use jQuery at all for these event bindings. Using a simple Angular modal directive (like the one provided in the Angular-UI library, for instance) would be the correct way to do this. Then you can just have an ng-click on the button and never have this problem.


The Knitwear Craze: patterns, colors and fantasies. part 3.
Knitting history is a never-ending story of colorful patterns dating back to ancient times. The story continued in the 19th century and... gradually knitwear was made into fashion statement during the 20th century. It also brings us to the 21st century.
Knitting's ability to stretch and insulate, without creasing, has made it popular for informal and sports wear in the West during the 20th century. It has enjoyed popularity since 20's and even more in the late 1960's, with a wider range of yarn types offering both professional and amateur knitters endless opportunities for creating variety in texture, pattern and color.
Fair Isle knitting originated on the remote island of Fair Isle - a tiny jewel in the ocean lying midway between the Orkney and Shetland Islands to the north of Scotland in the UK, at the point where the Atlantic Ocean meets the North Sea.
On a sweater, the Fair Isle design is frequently confined to a band across the upper chest which often drapes around the neck from shoulder to shoulder. During the 1920's the Prince of Wales helped to popularize the Fair Isle sweater, which he wore to play golf.
Elizabeth Riddiford has also mentioned traditional Fair Isle patterns - crosses and lozenges shaped hexagons containing symbols, often of a religious meaning, that formed the basic pattern and also a range of smaller patterns - such as anchors, ram's horns, hearts, ferns and flowers. All these patterns reflected the life and environment of the isle.
Aran style of knitting is associated with the Aran Islands, off the west coast of Ireland. Coarse, handspun wool, usually in its natural, off-white color, is knitted in cables, twists and bobbles into a centre front and two side panels, creating an embossed effect.
The Islanders of Aran were fishermen and farmers whose lives and livelihoods were deeply intertwined. The Aran sweater was born of this environment, passed down from generation to generation, and has since become the ultimate symbol of Irish Clan heritage. The many combinations of stitches seen on the garment are not incidental, far from it. They can impart vast amounts of information to those who know how to interpret them. Aran sweaters were, and remain, a reflection of the lives of the knitters, and their families. On the Aran islands, sweater patterns were zealously guarded, kept within the same clan throughout generations. These Aran sweaters were often used to help identify bodies of fishermen washed up on the beach following an accident at sea.
Many of the stitches used in the Aran Sweater are reflective of Celtic Art, and comparisons have been drawn between the stitches and patterns found at Neolithic burial sites such as Newgrange. Each stitch carries its own unique meaning, a historic legacy from the lives of the Island community many years ago.
Anyway, the legendary origins of the Aran sweater makes us look at this naturally white and embossed knitwear garment quite differently. Originally it was used for sweaters but since the middle of 20th century it has also been used for cardigans, coats, scarves, mittens and other items of winter wardrobe. It is always associated with casual clothing.
French couturier Jean Patou (1880 - 1936) whose finest achievements were in the field of sportswear, which always occupied an important position in his collection. In the early 1920's his works in this field gave fashion another dimension. Just like Coco Chanel, Patou created clothes for modern women, those who were active and those who wanted to look as if they were active.
Sweaters were always featured and in the early 1920's he showed Cubistic sweaters which were highly successful.
He brilliantly depicted the fashion trends of the Art Deco era and paraphrased them into knitted Cubistic sweaters that reproduced bold geometric shapes and patterns. The knitwear with sharp and angular compositions was inspired by the low waistline that was so characteristic to fashions of the 1920's. These features are also visible in this example depicted above.
As further progress was made in the history of knitting, as more surprises were announced. Spokeswoman of fashion surrealism, Elsa Schiaparelli showed a very striking knitwear designs during in the 1930's.
In the 1930's Elsa Schiaparelli designed sweaters with trompe-l'oeil collars knitted into the overall design.
Trompe-l'oeil is usually associated with painting and decoration but in fashion it refers to an optical illusion created by seaming or knitting a design into a garment.
The success of this jumper resulted from Schiaparelli's combination of traditional crafts - in this case, knitting - with her own inventiveness and wit. Many of her later designs show her understanding of the fashionable potential of such combinations.
The popularity of knitting in the 20th century went hand in hand with topical fashion trends, as well as the benefits of a comfortable casual clothing. In the 1950's knitwear became even more fashion conscious: new and more flexible fibres were blended with wool to create a far wider range in design, color, texture and idea of comfort. The 1960's saw knitwear firmly established as a fashion statement and in the late 1960's and early 1970's a revival took place of knitting by hand at home, due to the availability of brightly colored yarns and updated, fashionable patterns.
This will be a story at another time.

Which network development definition do you need?
A network development code definition, which is the definition of the code that defines the network in the AWS network, is an optional component of the network development project that enables you to add or modify the network configuration.
It defines the basic configuration, including the configuration of the device, networking devices, and network interfaces.
To use the network definition, you will need to define a single network device and set it as the source of all network traffic.
This is how you define the networking devices in your network project.
A network definition is also used by AWS in the Networking Networking Tools for AWS project to create a network configuration for an AWS network.
In the Network Security Project, the Network definition defines the access level, network address, and subnet mask of a network interface, which are required to be used to create the network interface.
You can use the Network Definition to specify network interface or subnet masks for a network, as well as set the default subnet for each network interface on a network.
For more information about network definitions, see the Network Definitions article.
The Network Definition is also available for use in the network security project, and can be used by the network developer to configure network security features, such as restricting access to a network to authorized users.
For network security and network management, network definitions are also a useful tool for determining what network capabilities are supported on a given network.
A Network Definition for a Network The network definition defines an interface on the network and its interface masks.
For example, the following code defines a network defined interface on my network, which will be used as the default interface on each network connected to the network: myNetworkInterfaceMask = 4; myNetwork = network(myNetworkInterfaceMasks); network(network(myDeviceName)) == true; myService = network("aws", myService); myService.
NetworkId = myNetworkId; myservice.
InterfaceMaskMask = myInterfaceMask; mynetwork = network(); This code definition defines my network interface and subnets for each interface on an interface.
The following example defines my default subnets and interface masks for my interface.
myService() { myService->NetworkId := myNetwork.
InterfaceId; } network(service("aws"), service("dev", "dev")) == true.
The above code uses the AWS Network Definition and AWS Network Management tool, AWS Network Security, to define the default network interface for my service.
You also can use this code definition in the networking security project to configure an access control list for a service.
For an example of using network definitions in a network management project, see Network Definition Resources.
For information about creating network security configuration, see Security Configuration and Access Control.
In this example, a network is defined in the dev network and configured with the dev interface.
This means that the network is only available to the dev service.
The service will be the only service allowed to create network devices.
The dev service will create network objects and will be able to connect to devices.
You will need the dev definition and AWS network management tools to configure access control lists, and access control groups.
The AWS Network Infrastructure definition defines interfaces for each subnet of an AWS subnet, which allow a network developer access to all devices on a subnet.
The network infrastructure definition defines network interfaces on the subnet to ensure that all devices are created for the network.
AWS Network Information Definition A Network Information definition is an AWS Network description, which specifies the network characteristics for a single interface, or for the entire network.
To define a network definition for a subnetwork, you must define an interface, and set the interface mask.
The IP addresses of each interface are defined by a list of IP addresses.
For a network example, consider the following network definition: myService(network("dev")): IPAddress = 10.2.0.4; network(dev) == 10.0.*; network = dev; The IPAddress is an IP address list that specifies the interface address of the interface for the specified network.
This allows the AWS dev network to identify and locate devices on the interface, as described in the next section.
The 10.x.x.* IPAddress list is the default list for the dev domain.
You must define the dev IPAddress to use for all devices in the subnetwork.
This will also make the dev subnet look for devices in a default subnetwork for the subdomain of the dev group.
The default subdomain is 10.1.1.* and the default gateway is 10.*.
To determine the default IP address of each device, AWS creates a list called the defaultIPAddressList.
The number of IP address in the default defaultIPIPAddresslist must equal the number of interfaces in the set.
The address in that list is used to determine the address of all devices.
To find the IP address for a specific interface, AWS looks up the default name in

Microsoft and AWS: A new cloud competitor with more power
Google (India)'s new cloud services, including AWS, are going to have a bigger impact on the Indian market than ever before, according to a report from TechCrunch.
AWS has seen a huge growth in its Indian customers and now has over 1.5 million active AWS accounts, while AWS Go is expected to take over the entire Indian cloud service market by 2022.
With the addition of Go, the Indian cloud market is expected become the third largest in the world.
AWS Go, a service that can be deployed on Amazon Web Services, will be available to Indian customers starting next month.
It is unclear when Go will be released to other AWS users.
Amazon Go is the first AWS cloud service to be offered in India.
Amazon Web services have seen a significant increase in popularity since it's launch in 2016.
The service is currently available for both AWS and Microsoft Azure cloud services.
Microsoft is currently testing its Azure cloud service on Amazon Go.
Microsoft has also begun offering Go to customers through its Azure portal.
AWS and Go are expected to have an enormous impact on Indian consumers and the Indian ecosystem.
India is currently the largest AWS customer base in the country with over 2 billion customers.
Microsoft's Go service is available for Indian customers on Azure and has been available for several years now.
Microsoft also launched its Azure Cloud for India, an enterprise platform for customers to deploy and manage cloud services for small and medium businesses.
India already has a lot of enterprise customers in the cloud space, with Amazon already hosting a large portion of its India workforce.
Microsoft recently announced that it plans to offer Go as an Azure Service in India by 2020.
Microsoft currently has around 100,000 AWS customers in India, including over 10,000 Indian customers.
AWS in India is a $2 billion investment, according the TechCrunch report.
Google is the leader in India with over 500 million users and over 6.5 billion users.
AWS also has a significant presence in India as well.
Microsoft started offering Go as a service for Indian users in 2017.

Lynnie's Listicles is an ongoing series that focuses on what Lynnie loves in terms of movies and pop culture. Be sure to follow along with all of the posts in the series if you like what you're reading!
The genre of science fiction holds a special place in my heart. It dares to ask questions about our future, and in doing so, it prods at the certainties we hold in the present. It imagines and inspires and creates worlds that always, somehow, feel human and within the realm of possibility.
I'll admit to never reading the books on this one. There, mea culpa complete.
The Hunger Games drew me in because of three factors: Jennifer Lawrence is perfection, the world that Katniss lives in is dark, gritty and full of ironies, and I have a thing for tough women fighting back against a brutal and illogical system.
What really drives the entire machine of the series is Jennifer Lawrence, though. It would have been quite easy to get a lesser actor to play the role of Katniss, but the entire thing would have failed. She brings vulnerability, steel, love for family, and a willingness to break all the rules to survive to the heroine, Katniss. Katniss' story is, at its root, a survivor's tale, and Jennifer Lawrence manages to bring a likability and charm that would have been lost in anyone else. Katniss has to be hard in order to live, and make even harder choices, but you never forget that she is human.
The Hunger Games is one of those rare modern movies that is worth the hype.
Marvel is doing a lot right in their film franchises currently, and Guardians of the Galaxy is no exception. My black heart has a fondness for the anti-hero, and this movie has plenty of that. After being abducted from Earth, Peter Quill has turned into a not-so-notorious thief, Starlord. In pursuit of a mysterious orb he's been commissioned to retrieve, he's ambushed and immediately thrown into a devious plot that spans the width and breadth of the galaxy.
As expected with a Marvel film, the special effects in Guardians of the Galaxy are awesome, the sets are incredible, and the actors are spot-on. What isn't expected is the resonance of Peter's journey, his connection to his mother throughout the decades, and the sense that while he may do bad things, he's not evil. He cares enough to do right if that right thing can protect innocent people.
While I wasn't entirely crazy about the way Gamora and Nebula were treated, the movie is a fun ride, and the dark, gritty atmosphere and criminal elements balances nicely with the glimmering hope that is Xandar. I left this movie wanting to know what other adventures Peter, Gamora, Rocket, and Drax will find themselves in. It's going to be a heck of a ride.
Also, I'm gonna need that leg.
Galaxy Quest may look like a spoof of Star Trek and its culture on the outside, but on the inside, it contains a warm, gooey center of a fan tribute. It revolves around a has-been TV actor, Jason Nesmith, as he learns that the science fiction show he used to be on has turned into reality for a race of aliens. They have based their entire society on the science and peace-loving morals of the characters in the show after it is broadcasted to them accidentally. Despite their advanced scientific capabilities, they are not prepared to face the villain in the movie, Sarris, so they call on Nesmith to save them.
What follows is a collection of TV tropes that are gently mocked and prodded with love and attention to detail, pitfalls from Nesmith as he realizes he falls short of the aliens' hopes, and the slowly building drama of an entire species teetering on the brink of extinction. Tim Allen, Sigeourney Weaver, Alan Rickman and Tony Shaloub are a master class in comedy, timing, and banter. They all play being out of their depth well, and they enter into the dramatic bits with just as much ease and seriousness as they do the comedy.
My favorite part of the movie is that, ultimately, a fan of the show is responsible for saving the day. Nesmith calls on a young super fan to help him understand the ship, and the fan comes through despite Nesmith treating him poorly earlier on in the movie. They manage to land the ship, save the day, and kill Sarris all to a round of applause. It's a loving tribute to the people who pay attention to shows like Star Trek, and it's funny, touching, and dramatic as heck.
I'm firmly in the same camp of nearly everyone else (that Firefly ended way too soon), but I'm glad that we were fortunate enough to get a movie. Serenity contains all of the show's deadpan humor, unexpected moments, and Captain Tight-pants being the captain of everything in the 'verse that we've come to love, as well as larger moments that fit into the expanded universe we're allowed to see in the movie.
Serenity is truly an ensemble movie. Everyone has their time to shine and moments that make you love them all the more. Summer Glau's River is the navigation that focuses the plot and the other characters' interactions. Her brain, tortured by the alliance, houses some of the biggest secrets in the galaxy. One of those secrets is the origins of Reavers, men and women turned into monsters, and the fact that the government created them. Once he knows the truth, nothing can stop Malcom Reynolds from exposing the truth.
This film is part horror, action, comedy, drama, and a story of how sometimes the "bad" guys are the best good you guys you can hope to have. Like the show, it balances the interactions between the crew with loving attention to the family they have created with the larger-than-life action of a ship hurtling through space.
I have some issues with the movie (Wash!), but the complaints are nothing to what I love about the writing, acting, and direction. The universe feels full and fleshed out, the characters strong in their backstories, and the dialogue complete with all the charm of smart asses who just happen to be heroes this go around.
Also, Chiwetel Ejiofor, who plays the bad guy throughout the majority of the film, is everything awesome.
It has all the tropes of a classic heroic journey – a farm boy learns of his great destiny from a wise, old sage, leaves his farm behind to find himself, stop the bad guy, and achieve his destiny. The brilliance may very well be in the familiar. We know the story, we like where that story typically goes, so it makes it easier to relate to Luke Skywalker even though it all takes place in a galaxy so far away that the light from our sun will never touch it.
All of the characters undergo some form of growth throughout the trilogy – Luke discovering the darkness within him and learning to let the light win, Leia in depending on others and opening her heart and mind, Han in believing in something greater than himself and his next score, C3PO in being brave despite his fear, and R2D2 in not putting his probe where it doesn't belong.
The story is epic, the characters are archetypical but relatable, and journey is something that has inspired a generation of people to create. Star Wars is truly a space opera, and it remains the example of how to do the hero's journey well.


Skin is the largest and the most visible part of our body. Performing many functions, starting from sense to protection, it suffers all the environmental chaos, the use of harsh products and many other external and internal torments. Any problem, in whichever part of the body, will affect the skin for sure. Age is another factor that affects the skin.
Whatever may be the reason or the problem, skin shows it all, especially on the face. Skin conditions include blemishes, acne, wrinkles etc. The list is never ending. Ageing brings dark circles, sagging skin, wrinkles etc. Anti- aging products, medications, etc. all promise to redress these skin problems. But most of these promises remain unfulfilled! That is when people turn to laser treatments!
Lasers are sources of high intensity light. It accurately focuses on small spots with high energy.
The laser beam can gently vaporize and/or ablate the skin tissues to treat wrinkles, scars and blemishes, seal blood vessels or cut skin tissue. Broad spectrum of the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) has the ability to specifically treat blood vessels and pigmentation. The technique directs short, concentrated pulsating beams of light at irregular skin, precisely removing the skin layer by layer.
With the new improved and advancing technologies, many other skin problems and diseases too can be treated using Laser therapy.

On Obamacare, Tea Party is on right track
August 12, 2013 | Star Parker | Syndicated Nationally by Creators
Where is the money going to come from to pay for all the subsidized purchases of government insurance?
Vitriol has gone beyond partisan give-and-take in the nation's politics. It is now seeping into and poisoning the ranks of the Republican Party.
Mainstream Republican politicians are cringing at the proposal by senators in the Tea Party movement -- Ted Cruz of Texas, Mike Lee of Utah and Marco Rubio of Florida -- that upcoming legislation to appropriate funds to operate the federal government be held hostage on condition that Obamcare funding is withheld.
Republicans opposing this strategy see it as lose-lose. They don't believe this tactic can defund or deliver a deathblow to Obamacare. At the same time, they see it producing more antipathy toward Republicans and branding them as zealots and obstructionists.
I think the Tea Partiers are on the right track, and I think the "mainstream" opposition is missing key, important points.
Republicans should be thinking about two objectives.
First, fight public resignation that Obamacare will become an inevitable part of our national landscape and continue building public understanding of how bad and dangerous this law is for our health care and our economy.
Second, continue the ongoing work to build public awareness that Republicans are not the party of "no" but the party of "yes" to a conservative agenda, which is really the only viable path to national recovery.
On the first point, the Tea Party strategy is already working.
If Republicans sit politely on the sidelines and allow business as usual to continue in Washington, the American public can only conclude that everything is basically OK.
But everything is not basically OK.
We don't even have to look to Republicans to show what a disaster Obamacare is.
The Obama administration itself initiated a one-year delay in implementing one of the most central features of the law -- the mandate on employers to provide government-defined health insurance. No clearer statement could be made of the unworkability of this bureaucratic nightmare.
Now Howard Dean -- former Democratic presidential candidate, Democratic National Committee chairman, Vermont governor and still a physician -- calls for scrapping another central feature of Obamacare: the Independent Payment Advisory Board.
This is the unelected committee of 15 Washington bureaucrats who will play the central role of pricing medical services under Medicare.
Pricing of medical services by bureaucrats is the pure socialism of Obamacare that those opposed to the law said from Day One would not work. Now Dean confirms this.
On the second point, Republicans must wake up to the public relations battle they have lost over recent years. Radical left-wing Democrats have been accepted in the public eye as moderate and reasonable, and conservative Republicans are portrayed as the nutty extremists.
When President Barack Obama took office, the nation was headed toward the bottom of a terrible recession.
His priority then should have been economic recovery.
It was not. He used the honeymoon of his first year in office to enact his socialist dream of government-funded health care.
Obamacare -- The Affordable Care Act -- was passed in March 2010 through legislative sleight of hand and without a single Republican vote. It brings socialism to almost one-fifth of the American economy. Its core features are regulation and the government printing press.
Where is the money going to come from to pay for all the subsidized purchases of government insurance? Where is the money going to come from to pay for the 20 million or so dumped into Medicaid on top of the 60 million already there?
And somehow those who brought us this nightmare are the moderates?
No, the Tea Partiers are right. The future of our country is at stake.
The Republican Party's priority must be to wake America to what faces us, to show who the real radicals are, and to demonstrate that the only way out of this mess is by restoring personal and fiscal responsibility and a functioning free market.

Dispute about Islamic theology
The public dispute about Islamic theology at German Universities and the Islamic theologist Professor Mouhanad Khorchide at the University of Münster has attracted the attention of the wider public. Since 2010, Islamic theology has been established at different German Universities in Münster/Osnabrück in Frankfurt/Gießen und Erlangen/Nürnberg.
Two conflicts have been arousing the issue of Islamic theology. First, the dispute between the Center for Islamic theology at the University of Münster and Islamic associations began in 2011, when the Center proposed different Islam experts for its science council and advisory board. Many of these candidates were dismissed by the Islamic associations. While some candidates of the Islamic associations were rejected, as the Federal Ministry of Interior assessed them inappropriate. In practice, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution assessed one of the candidates proposed by the Islamic Community – Milli Görüs as extremist.
The second conflict aroused about the person Mouhanad Khorchide. Having approved his engagement, Islamic associations rejected Khorchide´s employment at the Center, criticizing him for his remarks in favor of a liberal Islam. According to Engin Karahan, a representative of the Islam council, there is no trust left between Professor Khorchide and the Islamic associations. Thus, it would not be legitimate to continue his engagement at the University. It would be senseless for the University of Münster to offer Islamic theology without the cooperation with Islamic associations.
The coordination council of Muslims assessed the work of Khorchide as "not scientific enough". Other theologists such as Professor Bernhard Uhde from the University of Freiburg called criticized the assessment of the coordination council of Muslims as dilettantish and an evidence for the power clash between Turkish associations and other Muslims.
Serda Günes, an Islam scientist from the University of Frankfurt believes the schools of Islamic theology processing a period of maturing. Islamic associations would not be able to respond to normative questions as solid and confident as churches would do. Therefore, they would try to compensate this lack with theological views, reacting irritated when being challenged by antagonizing positions.

Salafi bombing attempt in Bonn
The German Federal Office for Criminal Investigation has found a DNA track belonging to the Salafi Marco G. He has been suspected for planning and executing a bomb attempt at the central station of the city of Bonn in Fall 2012. However the attempt failed. There is little information about the 25 years old Marco G. who comes from Oldenburg, a small city in North Germany. It is said that Marco G. converted to Islam a few years ago and speaks perfectly Arabic.

Aspiring SPD Vice-Chairwoman Distances herself from Radical-Islamic Brothers
Aydan Özoguz, MP and aspiring vice-chairwoman of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), has distanced herself from her radical Islamic brothers. Yavuz and Gürhan Özoguz run the anti-Israel and Pro-Iranian internet portal "Muslim-Markt" and were observed by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution for several years. Özoguz, who is hoping to the first chairwoman of the SPD with Turkish origins, wants to be seen and judged for who she is, independent of her brothers.

Integration Course for Imams
Ten Turkish Imams completed their 10-months training at the Goethe-Institute in Göttingen (Lower Saxony) on Monday (27.06.2011). The training was part of the integration project "imams for Germany", which is funded by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees and the Turkish-Islamic Union (DITIB). As foreign imams are often criticised for their lack of German language skills, a particular focus of the training was on language acquisition. Furthermore, the imams received information about life in Germany and German society, to better understand and advise Muslims in Germany.

Anti-Terrorism Hotline Proves to Be Unsuccessful
In July 2010, Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution initiated the project "Hatif", a hotline to support those who want to put Islamist extremism behind them. Even before its launch, experts on Islam and security matters voiced their concerns both about the programme itself as well as the fact that it is run by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. Almost a year after its initiation, the hotline has not had any success in fighting violent-prone Islamism in Germany. The programme is therefore now extended and the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution is hoping that imams will play a more active role in the de-radicalisation process in Germany.

Terror Threat Still High in Germany, Intelligence Chief Says
Despite Germany's recent easing of anti-terror measures, the head of the country's domestic intelligence service said in an interview published on Friday that the terror threat is still serious.
"In Germany and abroad there are people who are ready and able to carry out attacks," said Heinz Fromm, president of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, or Verfassungsschutz, in an interview with the Berlin daily Tagesspiegel.
He said jihadist groups have not abandoned their agenda, even though the heightened security measures put in place last year had possibly hindered their plans.

Germany launches HATIF, an opt-out programme for Islamists
With HATIF, the first opt-out programme for Islamists, the German
Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution aims to help those
who want to leave the militant Islamist milieu. Although this new
approach has been broadly welcomed, some doubts remain over its
potential efficacy.
Through HATIF, which is the Arab term for telephone and also the
abbreviation in German for "Heraus Aus Terrorismus und Islamistischem
Fanatismus" (or "leaving terrorism and Islamist fanaticism"), anyone
wanting to turn their back on the extremist milieu or their concerned
relatives and acquaintances can contact the BfV directly via a telephone
hotline or via email to receive support in their efforts to do so.
Of course there are many voices who doubt the success of HATIF.
Questions range from who is supposed to be calling, whether someone in
that situation would trust the authorities, and if this is the right
measure to help former Islamists, so the success will have to be proven
in the future.

Muslimische Jugend in Deutschland (MJD) / Muslim Youth in Germany
The youth organisation Muslimische Jugend in Deutschland (MJD)/Muslim Youth in Germany was founded in 1994 and has gained popularity in recent year especially among the very religious of young Muslims. The organisation has local groups (so called Lokalkreise) in many German cities. On average, the around 900 registered members are well educated and between 13 and 30 years old, but the organisation explicitly addresses all Muslims regardless of nationality and background. On their website, the MJD describe themselves as "multicultural", "Islamic" and "hip".
Each year, around 1,000 young Muslims participate in the annual meeting, which offers a wide range of activities: A rap workshop, origami class and Quran reading as well as debates with representatives from Greenpeace (in 2008) or with a member of the Central Council of Jews (in 2009).
The MJD is under observation of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, who accuse it of having personal and organisational links to the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood in Germany and Europe. For this reason, the Ministry of Family Affairs and Youth cut their funding towards the MJD in 2003. In the past years, the Muslim youth organisation has tried to regain the confidence for example by incorporating non-Islamic civil actors such as for interreligious dialogue.
But discussion on the organisation's youth work continues. Indeed, the MJD reaches out to a young and religious audience that does not feel represented by conventional youth work and neither by the classic mosque communities. But their positions touch upon moderately Islamist views: Many of the MJD's events are gender segregated and religious commands are usually interpreted in the narrow framework of traditional Islamic scholars. Critics therefore accuse the MJD of uniformity and question whether the organisation helps to integrate young Muslims into the German society or whether it actually prevents this.

Muslim youth in Germany answers back
The organisation of Muslim youth in Germany (MJD) is fighting allegations of contradicting the principles of the free democratic basic order. The organisation is under surveillance by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and has been mentioned in its reports in a few German states since 2007. The youth organisation rejects all allegations and points out that all their activities and organisational structure are made transparent. MJD chairman Hischam Abul Ola now considers taking legal action.

Problems with the most expensive weapons project in Pentagon history, the $400 billion and counting F-35 jet have forced a reshuffle at Lockheed Martin.
The US aircraft designer named Jeff Babione the new executive vice president and general manager of the F-35 Program, succeeding Lorraine Martin.
Despite vast spending that has made the F-35 jet the most expensive piece of military hardware ever created, the program seems to have had several setbacks.
"The stealth fighter lacks the sensors, weapons and speed that allow a warplane to reliably detect and shoot down other planes in combat. Especially when those planes are shooting back," said a review from military website War is Boring.
"The F-35 can see great. It just can't see all that great in the air. At least not compared to modern Chinese- and Russian-made jets — the planes the F-35 is most likely to face in battle in some future war," it added.
According to the US Department of Defense, the program's office wasn't accurately recording the jet's problems.
"Not all failures are counted in the calculation of mean flight hours between reliability events, but all flight hours are counted, and hence component and aircraft reliability are reported higher than if all of the failures were counted," the Fiscal Times quoted the report.
The F-35 is a US fifth generation multirole combat aircraft designed to perform ground attack, aerial reconnaissance, and air defense missions. The program was launched in 2006 but has experienced a number of cost overruns and developmental delays due to concerns over performance and safety.

Le fond se fond dans la forme. Mais le jeu des formes se joue aussi dans son fond. Celui qui se colore, se répète, se positionne, se fixe.

Ce block, ce rectangle, se la joue grand luxe. Fond transparent mais bien présent. Seul le  se dote par défaut d'un fond blanc.
Quel ennui !
Une image, une couleur, est si vite appréciée.

#### background-color

Revoici nos trublions : hexa, rgba, hsla...

{% highlight css %}
body{ background-color: #CCC;} /* Raccourci de #CCCCCC, soit un gris clair */body{ background-color: yellowGreen;}
{% endhighlight %}

La couleur remplit tout et dévoile le block.

Mais les blocks n'ont pas le monopole du fond.

{% highlight css %}
a{ background-color: wheat;}
{% endhighlight %}

Les éléments inline peuvent avoir un background aussi. Le résultat est bien plus petit, certes, mais bien présent.

#### background-image

Un aplat est plaisant. Une image est jouissive.

{% highlight css %}
body{ background-image: url(img/panorama.jpg);}
{% endhighlight %}

L'image se place en haut à gauche du block, et se repète horizontalement et verticalement.
Gif, png, bmp (argh), tout est permis.

#### background-position

Placer le point de départ, textuellement, et tout peut changer. Horizontal, vertical.

{% highlight css %}
body{ background-position: left top;} /* La Normandie */
body{ background-position: right bottom;} /* La Corse */
body{ background-position: center center;} /* No Man's Land */
{% endhighlight %}

Plus précisément, en pixels.

{% highlight css %}
body{ background-position: 10px 20px;} /* 10px à gauche, 20px vers le bas, en partant du coin haut à gauche */
{% endhighlight %}

Le combiné nordique :

{% highlight css %}
body{ background-position: right 5px;} /* Calé tout à droite, à 5px du haut */
{% endhighlight %}

#### background-repeat

A partir de son point de départ, le background se répète. Pour occuper tout l'espace. Sans remord, ni pitié.

{% highlight css %}
body{ background-repeat: repeat;} /* Par défaut */
{% endhighlight %}

Mais le voici contraint de ne se répéter qu'horizontalement :

{% highlight css %}
body{ background-repeat: repeat-x;} /* Répétition horizontale mais pas verticale */
{% endhighlight %}

Ou verticalement.

{% highlight css %}
body{ background-repeat: repeat-y;} /* Répétition verticale mais pas horizontale */
{% endhighlight %}

Ou de ne point se répéter.

{% highlight css %}
body{ background-repeat: no-repeat;} /* Ne s'affiche qu'une seule et unique fois */
{% endhighlight %}

#### background-attachment

Comme le coeur de la femme qui s'attache parce qu'il donne, le background s'attache à l'élément auquel il s'applique.
Lors du défilé défilement, il s'accroche bec et ongles :

{% highlight css %}
body{ backround-attachment: scroll;} /* Par défaut, lorsqu'on scrolle, le background suit */
{% endhighlight %}

Mais la rebellion est si proche...

{% highlight css %}
body{ background-attachment: fixed;} /* Le contenu défile mais le background ne bouge pas */
{% endhighlight %}

L'effet est étonnant, voire déroutant. Il surprend l'internaute et le dévie de l'objet de son voyage.
Utile autant que la magie.

#### background

L'heure est tardive, l'ennemi se rapproche. Il faut agir. Et vite !Abrégez donc vos décisions :

{% highlight css %}
body{ background: url(img/la-falaise.png) repeat-x fixed right top #eee;}
{% endhighlight %}

Une image, une répétition, un attachement, une position (right top) et une couleur qui passera en-dessous du background-image, et comblera donc le vide restant.

"Ce background blanc est magnifique"

La pierre angulaire des designs riches est là. Le background s'applique sur tout, et se démultiplie surtout. Chaque élément peut se vanter d'en posséder un.
N'oubliez pas le **flux** ! Un élément imbriqué dans un autre se retrouve par dessus ce dernier, et appliquer un background au premier masquera celui du second.
L'image d'un background, si plus grande que l'élément auquel il s'applique, n'agrandira pas ce dernier. L'image est secondaire, elle remplit ce qu'elle peut mais ne s'impose pas.
Une image semi-transparente associée à une couleur est un jeu bien dangereux mais tout à fait maîtrisable, voire enrichissant.

### Le sprite, sans citron

Appliquer un background-image, c'est envoyer un messager traverser les structures binaires de votre serveur pour en rapatrier les pixels qui formeront la tâpisserie de votre élément !
Chaque messager a un coût. Se restreindre à une dizaine de requêtes serveur pour récupérer tous vos background-image est raisonnable. Mais dupliquez ce nombre et le risque de faire fuir votre visiteur face à l'absence d'embellissement monte en flèche !

Je désire des drapeaux. Une flopée de drapeaux. Une tonne de drapeaux. Que dis-je : un [monde de drapeaux](http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/flags/) !
Tous aussi rectangulaires qu'ils soient, faites qu'ils viennent à moi. J'ai une annonce à leur faire. Un à un ? Comment osez-vous mépriser avec autant de naïveté la salive de mes discours ? Amenez-les tous ! En une seule fois. Rassemblés pour mieux obéir.

4 drapeaux en 1 seule image

Les voilà rassemblés. Mais je ne les afficherai qu'au compte-gouttes ! Un à un !Utilisons des `<span>` à hauteur et largeur fixes. Assez grands pour afficher un drapeau en entier, assez petits pour ne pas en afficher deux.Voici le premier :

{% highlight html %}

 : Albion.

{% endhighlight %}

{% highlight css %}
.flag{ background: url(drapeaux.png); display: inline-block; height: 11px; width: 16px;}
{% endhighlight %}

Mais les autres ? La même image, oui ! Mais un positionnement différent.

{% highlight html %}

 : Albion.

 : l'État des masses.

 : le Tigre de la Baltique.

 : le royaume dans les nuages.

{% endhighlight %}

{% highlight css %}
.ly{ background-position: -20px 0;}
.ee{ background-position: -40px 0;}
.ls{ background-position: -60px 0;}
{% endhighlight %}

1 seule image utilisée 4 fois

Non je ne redéfinis pas **toutes** les propriétés. Je ne définis uniquement celles qui _changent_...
Tous les `.flag` partagent un background-image, un display, un height et un width **communs**.
Seul le background-position est _spécifique_ à chaque drapeau.
L'efficacité est là. Pour [mieux régner](/5-dimension).

Q: Angularjs Mocha test $q promises without $rootScope.$apply I have this service:
    angular.module('domeeApp')
        .factory('streamWidget', streamWidgetFactory);

    function streamWidgetFactory($q) {
        return {
            loadContent: function() {
                return $q(function(resolve, reject) {
                    resolve('test');
                })
            }
        }
    }

I'm testing it with karma/mocha/chai:
describe('streamWidget', function() {
    beforeEach(module('domeeApp'));
    var streamWidget;
    var $timeout;

    beforeEach(inject(function(_$timeout_, _streamWidget_) {
        streamWidget = _streamWidget_;
        $timeout = _$timeout_;
    }));

    it('should load new content', function(done) {
        streamWidget.loadContent()
        .then(function(res) {
            expect(res).to.equal('test');
            done();
        })
        .catch(function(){})
        $timeout.flush();
    });
});

Since $q promises doesn't work well with mocha i'm following this answer, which says to add $timeout.flush() to force the .then method of the promise to be executed.
The problem is, after calling .flush(), all my app wakes up and i start to get this errors from angular-mocks:
Error: Unexpected request: GET /partials/page/view/index.
I know about $httpBackend, but it would be insane to mock ALL the requests my app is making on startup.
Is there a way to make $q promises work with mocha without calling $timeout.flush() or $rootScope.$apply()?

A: As shown here, chai-as-promised can be used to assert $q promises.
With this setup
chaiAsPromised.transferPromiseness = function (assertion, promise) {
  assertion.then = promise.then.bind(promise);

  if (!('$$state' in promise))
    return;

  inject(function ($rootScope) {
    if (!$rootScope.$$phase)
      $rootScope.$digest();
  });
};

digest cycles will be triggered automatically on promise assertions, executing the whole promise chain.
In this case the spec
it('...', () => {
  ...
  expect(...).to.eventually...;
  expect(...).to.eventually...;
  $rootScope.$digest();
});

can omit $digest() call and become
it('...', () => {
  ...
  expect(...).to.eventually...;
  expect(...).to.eventually...;
});

Notice that $q promises are synchronous, they shouldn't be returned from Mocha spec or call done callback.

A: Here's an alternative strategy that we use because we never actually need $httpBackend, but it sometimes (randomly) fails making requests for templates used by directives (even though those templates are available in $templateCache):
beforeEach(function() {
  module('app', function($provide) {
    // This is using jasmine, but the idea is the same with mocha.
    // Basically just replace $httpBackend with a function that does nothing.
    $provide.constant('$httpBackend', jasmine.createSpy('$httpBackend'));
  });
});

Of course, if you actually use $httpBackend in other cases, then this won't work, as you'll need it to mock response objects.
