Weinhardt was a 38th-round pick of the Astros in 2007, when he showed an 86-89 mph fastball and a slurvy breaking ball. He should go about 30 rounds earlier this time around, because he has boosted his fastball to 92-95 mph. His curveball is still fringy and his control can be spotty at times. He started for two seasons at Hill (Texas) JC but is best suited for relief, his role with the Cowboys.

Q: PWA - Como passar parâmetros para outra página estando offiline? Estou desenvolvendo um aplicativo PWA que vai funcionar principalmente no modo offiline, já criei e implementei praticamente tudo, indexedDB, service-worker, etc... Estou tentando passar algunas parâmetros para outro página usando o método GET e para ler os valores em java script estou usando essa função:
Por exemplo, a página indexed.php chama a página parameters.php com alguns parâmetros:
function $_GET()
{
    var parts = window.location.search.substr(1).split("&");
    var GET = {};

    for (var i = 0; i < parts.length; i++) {
        var temp = parts[i].split("=");
        GET[decodeURIComponent(temp[0])] = decodeURIComponent(temp[1]);
    }

    return GET;
}

E a página parameters.php lê esse valores e executa algumas ações.
window.location.href = "/parameters.php?id=1";

O problema aparece quando eu estou offiline e tento carregar essas páginas, dá errado pq as URL's não são as mesmas das que foram pro cache. Já tentei diversas maneiras de ignorar as query strings mas sem sucesso. Gostaria de saber se existe algumas outra alternativa de fazer isso, e quais são os métodos mais recomendados de passar parâmetros para outras páginas estando offiline.

A: A forma que eu consegui contornar isso é passando os parâmetros via hash
Ex: /pagina/#page=livro&id=1
function get_hash() {
    var GET = {};
    try {
        var hash = window.location.hash.split('#')[1];
        var partes = hash.split('&');
        partes.forEach(function (parte) {
            if (parte != '') {
                var chaveValor = parte.split('=');
                GET[chaveValor[0]] = chaveValor[1];
            }
        });
    } catch (e) {
        console.log(e)
    }
    return GET;
}

Com isso vc consegue montar a requisição para o servidor com os dados fornecidos via parâmetros. Caso esteja offline resgata as informações do indexDb

Calgary has a new poet laureate.
Sheri-D Wilson will serve as Calgary's fourth poet laureate for a two-year term, acting as an "artistic ambassador" for Calgary, presenting at civic events and producing literary work that reflects the city, city hall announced Monday.
Calgary's new poet laureate is known for her 'electric performance style' Back to video
The prize-winning poet takes over from Micheline Maylor, who served from 2016 to 2018; before that, Derek Beaulieu served from 2014 to 2016; Kris Demeanor, Calgary's first poet laureate, served from 2012 to 2014.
Wilson has authored 11 books, created four short films and released three albums that combine music and poetry.
"She is known for, shall we say, her electric performance style, making her a favourite of festivals all around the world," Mayor Naheed Nenshi said.
"In 2015, it was my great pleasure to award her the Calgary Award for the Arts, and I know she is going to do a marvellous job."
Wilson accepted the honour Monday morning and performed a short reading in council chambers.
"I am very honoured to receive this position," Wilson said. "I will do the best job that I can to raise awareness, poetry and voice to the city and bring this city to other places."

Home > News > Luther faculty Todd Green to present latest book on Sept. 20
Luther faculty Todd Green to present latest book on Sept. 20
Luther College's Todd Green to present latest book Sept. 20
Asking Muslims to condemn terrorist acts can lead to racist scapegoating, an act which prevents majority populations in the West from coming to terms with their own violent past and their ongoing complicity in a violent world order, according to Todd Green, Luther College associate professor of religion.
Green will present "Presumed Guilty: Why We Shouldn't Ask Muslims to Condemn Terrorism" at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 20, in Luther's Franklin W. Olin Building, Room 102.
The lecture, based on Green's most recent book of the same name, is open to the public with no charge for admission. A book signing will follow the lecture.
The first Religion Forum of the academic year, "Presumed Guilty" explores Green's theory of what he explains as the false connection between terrorism and the Muslim religion.
Green argues that blaming Muslims for terrorist attacks wrongly assumes that Islam is the cause of terrorism.
Green contends that people who practice Islam already condemn terrorism and that "asking Muslims to condemn terrorist attacks is a distraction that prevents majority populations in the U.S. and Europe both from facing their own violent histories and from asking critical questions about how their countries' national security initiatives and foreign policies contribute to a violent world order."
He will also discuss building an "interfaith framework" between religions based on friendship instead of avoidance due to fear.
A regular contributor to the Huffington Post, Green has also been featured on a variety of media outlets, including CNN, National Public Radio, Al Jazeera, France 24, Reuters and The Intercept.
An engaging speaker, Green is regularly invited to give conference presentations and guest lectures across the U.S.
The author of three books and an edited volume, Green also has had several peer-reviewed articles and book reviews published.
Prior to his time at Luther, he served as an instructor at Vanderbilt Divinity School and teaching fellow at Vanderbilt Divinity School and Vanderbilt University.
Green holds a Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University, a Master of Divinity from Columbia Theological Seminary and a bachelor's degree from Birmingham-Southern College.


I've posted before about getting off the social platform for a while when things have gotten pretty rough, but now I have a clearer view of why I did it and why I seemed to do it so often.
I was not able to say no to exhausting friends.
You know them, friends that you were close to in high school, friends that you may have shared an office with at one time, friends of friends that you got on with like a house on fire during a night out or a dinner….
I have tried to respond enthusiastically to all these things and have felt like a pancake after..pretty flat.
It became another full-time job, to be honest, to stay friends with some people.
I did not accept what will never change..and that is change itself.
Things are not the same anymore, my friend is now responsible for a household and a child, she may not have time to coo over the latest September issue of Vogue.
It was not that we don't connect anymore…we just had no found the other connection to fit our new lives!
Realising this made it easier for me,more relaxed,I didn't have to make so much effort, be uncomfortable and put pressure on the other person because no doubt they were feeling the pressure too.
So backing off..feels so good 🙂 and coffees with those with whom you are on the same page with still rock…no you're not abandoning your friend, you're just treading water for that renewed spark..
Then there is the other perspective.
The friend that has continuously been rude to you, and you have overlooked it every single time.
Well….you think 'they must know better' or 'he's just having a bad day'…but this has been quite the long bad day darling, in fact, its been a whole darn season!
Maybe it is time to step away from that as well…because you see I've learnt that the better I treat myself..the better people treat me.
nice message indeed sometimes it does become a second job.i'm proud of you hun.
I love this post.So relatable.When a friendship starts to feel like work,I gotta go.I always find precious gems on your blog.

Q: (Java) Creating multiple(26) buttons with ActionListeners without repeating code I'm creating a program with a button for each letter of the alphabet. When clicked, a word is shown in one JLabel and an image in another. The word is also stored in a list. I'm wondering if there's a way to do this without repeating a block similar to this 26 times.
    JButton btnA = new JButton("A");
        btnA.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                lblImages.setText("");
                lblImages.setIcon(newImageIcon(image);
                lblWord.setText("Apple");
                words.add(lblWord.getText());
            }
        });
    btnA.setFocusable(false);
    panel.add(btnA);

A: Start by defining a reusable ActionListener.  To make it easier, I'm also using a "word" delegate, which will actually perform the required functionality instead of exposing a bunch of components to the ActionListener
WordActionListener
public class WordActionListener implements ActionListener {

    private String word;
    private WordListener listener

    public WordActionListener(String work, WordListener listener) {
        this.word = word;
        this.listener = listener;
    }

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        listener.addWord(word);
    }
}

WordListener
public interface WordListener {
    public void addWord(String word);
}

Implementation....
Your UI, which is been used to display the content will need to implement the WordListener interface
public class ... extends ... implements WordListener {
    //...

    public void addWord(String word) {
        lblImages.setText("");
        lblImages.setIcon(newImageIcon(image);
        lblWord.setText("Apple");
        words.add(lblWord.getText());
    }
}

When constructing your buttons, you will need a list of words...
private String[] listOfWords = String[] {"Apple", ..., "Zebra"};

Then you can just loop over them...
for (char c = 'A'; c <= 'Z'; c++) {
    JButton btn = new JButton(Character.toString(c));
    btn.addActionListener(new WordActionListener(listOfWords[c - 'A'], this);
    btn.setFocusable(false);
    panel.add(btn);
}

or some such thing


The vestibular system includes the parts of the brain and inner ear that process sensory information used to control balance and eye movements. If disease or injury damages these processing areas, vestibular disorders can result. Vestibular disorders can also result from or be worsened by genetic or environmental conditions, or occur for unknown reasons. At Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas, our Vestibular Rehabilitation Program may be able to help.
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of therapy designed to alleviate symptoms of vestibular disorders. The staff at Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas creates individualized programs to retrain the body's awareness senses corresponding with the inner ear, vision, and/or receptors in muscles and joints.

After decades of planning, a major housing development on a former military base in Alameda has run into financial trouble.
The proposed development is called Alameda Point. It would sit on 68 acres of what was once part of the Alameda Naval Air Station.
The plan is to build 800 housing units, 200 of them affordable, along with commercial space and public park.
But after years of planning the developer says the project is in financial default.

Q: php file upload always uploading files even if errors I am trying to upload either pdf or jpg, jpeg files to a folder and the code is as follows:
//Get the uploaded file information
if(!$_FILES['medreport']['error'])
{
    $medreport = basename($_FILES['medreport']['name']);
    $medreport_extn = substr($medreport, strrpos($medreport, '.') + 1);//get the file extension of the file
    $medreport_size = $_FILES["medreport"]["size"]/1024;//size in KBs
    $tmp_path = $_FILES["medreport"]["tmp_name"];
    $report_folder = "../reports/";

    //Settings
    $max_allowed_file_size = 200; // size in KB
    $allowed_extensions = array("jpg", "jpeg", "pdf");

    //Validations
}

if($medreport_size > $max_allowed_file_size )
{
    $error[] = "Size of the report file should be less than $max_allowed_file_size KB";
}

//Validate the file extension
$allowed_ext = false;
for($i=0; $i<sizeof($allowed_extensions); $i++)
{
    if(strcasecmp($allowed_extensions[$i],$medreport_extn) == 0)
    {
        $allowed_ext = true;
    }
}

if(!$allowed_ext)
{
    $error[] = "The uploaded report file is not a supported file type. "."Only pdf, jpg and jpeg report file types are supported. ";
}

//replace filename with unixtime
$unixtime =time();
$medreport = $unixtime.mt_rand(0,9).'.'.$medreport_extn;

$report_path = $report_folder . $medreport;
if(is_uploaded_file($tmp_path))
{
    if(!copy($tmp_path,$report_path))
    {
        $error[] = 'Error while copying the uploaded report file';
    }
}

while trying to upload files with correct extension and size i am able to upload it.
But if i try to upload an over sized or incorrect format file, it displays my error message, but the file always get uploaded to the folder.
Why is it so ?? Please, What is wrong with my code??
Is the way, i am doing it is secure enough ?? the folder is owned by www-data and permission is 755. I have a .htaccess file too in the file upload folder to prevent executables as follows:
SetHandler none
SetHandler default-handler
Options -ExecCGI
php_flag engine off

The file always uploading is confusing me.

A: You are not using the errors you just found to check if you need to continue.
This:
if(is_uploaded_file($tmp_path))

Should be something like:
if(count($error) === 0 && is_uploaded_file($tmp_path))

And you should initialize your $error array at the start as an empty array if you are not doing that already.

The album was sold out immediately and had been unavailable for fans for almost 5 years now. After so long time it is re-issued with original artwork, original track order, without re-masterring and other improvements. The album is the same as it originally was and it brings back the atmosphere and feelings back from 2003, the distant Northern Europe, when the Lik's journey has begun.

Q: How to rearrange results returned by inner join query I have five tables students, classes, subjects, scores, and scores.I'm performing an inner join on these tables to return results. This how my schema looks:
Students table:
students
--------
id *
name
class_id (fk)

Subjects table:
subjects
--------
id *
name

Class table:
classes
--------
id *
name

Term table:
terms
--------
id *
name

Scores Table:
scores
---------------
id *
student_id (fk)
subject_id (fk)
class_id (fk)
term_id (fk)
score

Now this is the query I wrote to return results:
SELECT students.name as Name, subjects.name as Subject, classes.name as Class, terms.name as Term, scores as Score

// id 1 for student Nathan
// term 1 for first Period
// term 2 for second period
// term 3 for third period

from scores
    inner join students
        on students.id = scores.student_id
        and scores.student_id = 1
    inner join subjects
        on subjects.id = scores.subject_id
        and scores.student_id = 1
    inner join classes
        on classes.id = scores.class_id
        and scores.student_id = 1
    inner join terms
        on terms.id = scores.term_id
        and scores.student_id = 1

where scores.term_id = 1 or scores.term_id = 2 or scores.term_id = 3
ORDER BY scores.term_id;

This is the result return by the query:

This without doubt is returning the correct result, but the little problem I have is that it is not formatted or structure in the way I need it to be.
This is a bit of light on how I want it to be structure:

PerioOne, PeriodTwo, and PeriodThree corresponds to the term ids in the scores table with their scores respectively. The picture above shows the final results of how it's going to be display in a html table.
This is how I want the results to be return in mysql:
Name | subject | class | first Period | Second Period | Third Period
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Nathan | 1      | 1     |  96          | 71            | 74
Nathan | 2      | 1     |  96          | 71            | 74

Is there a way I can restructure my query to get this done? For clarity sake here is the data in my scores table:


The Istanbul Protocol is a set of guidelines for the effective investigation and documentation of torture and ill-treatment. These international standards help both legal and forensic experts to investigate and document torture and ill-treatment. The medical guidelines, in particular, help forensic experts to assess the degree to which medical findings correlate with individual allegations of abuse and to effectively communicate the findings and interpretations to the judiciary or other appropriate authorities.
Medical experts involved in the investigation of torture must conform to the highest ethical standards, including obtaining informed consent before any examination is undertaken. The examination must conform to established standards of medical practise. In particular, examinations shall be conducted in private under the control of the medical expert and outside the presence of security agents and other government officials. The medical expert should promptly prepare an accurate written report which includes at least the following: case-specific, identifying information; a detailed record of the subject's allegations of torture and/or ill-treatment, including all complaints of physical and psychological symptoms; a record of all physical and psychological findings on clinical examination; an interpretation as to the probable relationship of the physical and psychological findings to possible torture and ill-treatment; recommendations for any necessary medical and psychological treatment and/or further examination; and the identify those carrying out the examination. The report should be confidential and communicated to the subject or his or her nominated representative.
As the Istanbul Protocol makes clear, the absence of physical and/or psychological evidence in a medical evaluation does not rule-out the possibility that torture or ill-treatment was inflicted.

'Luke Cage' Cancelled: No Season 3 for Netflix Marvel Series
by Gordon Cummings	- at October 21, 2018
When Marvel and Netflix cancelled Iron Fist a week ago, reports expected Netflix would renew Luke Cage.
"Unfortunately, Marvel's Luke Cage will not return for a third season", Marvel and Netflix said in a joint statement Friday.
The second season is executive produced by series showrunner Coker (Ray Donovan), Jim Chory (Marvel's Jessica Jones), and Jeph Loeb (Marvel's Jessica Jones), who also serves as Marvel's Head of Television.
Season 2 of Luke Cage, starring Mike Colter as the titular superhero, debuted this past June.
Harvard faces trial over claims of bias against Asian Americans
Black, Latino and Native American students follow at 15 percent, 12 percent and just under 2 percent, in that order. In August, the federal Department of Justice expressed support for the plaintiffs in court documents.
Again, it's safe to assume that no new news came in overnight about Luke Cage's performance so the likelihood of creative differences being the issue definitely makes sense.
While there has been no indication from either Netflix or Marvel Television that Heroes for Hire is a project up for consideration, that hasn't stopped fans from embracing the idea of it. Neither Marvel nor Netflix were willing to bend, and it ultimately led to the show's premature cancellation.
Ironically, Luke Cage's Iron Fist crossover was one of the season's strongest episodes, and certainly the most palatable Danny Rand has ever been as a character. Marvel fans, however, were still largely positive about the show, and the reaction on social media overnight was one of shock - compared to resignation at the Iron Fist announcement. Only the Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio toplined Man Without Fear series, Jessica Jones and The Punisher remain. According to Deadline, the streaming service is pulling the plug on the Marvel series after only two seasons. The executives reportedly couldn't agree on the scripts for the third season. There is and has never been an intention for a second season of the organizationally challenging The Defenders miniseries, as Netflix VP original content Cindy Holland told Deadline this summer.

It's 7:00 am and your 10 year-old was supposed to be up 15 minutes ago but is still lying in bed. The bus leaves in 10 minutes and you are the only one concerned and stressed out that she won't be ready on time. You drag her out of bed and throw some clothes on her while you attempt to shove a cereal bar and banana into her backpack because it's now too late to eat breakfast at home. On top of that you find yourself constantly repeating to your 8-year-old to brush his teeth, but instead he continues to play legos in his room and ignore you.
Does any of this sound familiar? Getting kids up and ready for school can be the most stressful part of your day, but it doesn't have to be. Below are seven tips to get your kids up and ready for school on time.
Get as much done the night before as possible. Have your kids pick out their clothes before they go to bed. I've even known kids who wear their school clothes to bed. Pack lunches and water-bottles and snacks the night before too. Make sure homework is in backpacks and other items needed for school are lined up at the door ready to go like shoes and coats.
Have kids set their own alarm clocks. This helps your child to learn to take more responsibility for getting up in the morning and relying less on you to wake them up. Before deciding on what time to get up, have a discussion with your child about how long they need to lie in bed before getting up, how long they need to get dressed, eat breakfast and so on. This exercise teaches kids about time and how much time they really need to get ready in the morning. Help your child to set their own alarm clock every night so that they can develop a good habit.
Create a checklist of things to do. Some kids need a visual reminder of things they need to get done in the morning. Creating a checklist (use photos/drawings for pre-readers) can be helpful. Kids can self-monitor by looking at their checklist to see that they have done everything before heading out such as; getting dressed, brushing teeth, eating breakfast, brushing hair, etc. Keep the checklist on the mirror in the bathroom or on the front door so that kids won't leave the house without looking at their list. Hopefully, the checklist will keep you from being a broken record repeatedly telling Johnny to brush his teeth!
Give incentives for getting ready on time. A simple check-mark or star next to the items on a checklist is rewarding in itself but some kids need more incentive to roll out of bed in the morning. Maybe earning extra TV or video game time is what helps motivate your child. Maybe they prefer getting mom's phone on the drive to school. Have your child help to choose the incentive that will help them get up and going in the morning.
Make sure kids get to bed on time. Getting enough sleep helps kids to actually wake up in the morning. Have a "lights-out" time that works for your child's age. Most kids need at least 8-10 hours of sleep so making sure your child goes to bed at a reasonable hour will help them to get up in the morning. Good sleep hygiene is essential in helping kids unwind and get ready for bed. This means unplugging from TV and all electronics at least one hour before bed, and doing calming activities like taking a warm bath or reading a bedtime story to help your child unwind and get in ready for sleep.
Use a timer for kids to help understand the concept of time. Younger kids and some older ones have no concept of what 15 minutes or 30 minutes means. Using a timer gives kids a visual for time and helps them to self-monitor their time in the morning. Having kids see and "feel" time will help them develop an inner clock to gage how long they have to get ready on time.
Let natural consequences happen. If your child misses the bus because he was slow getting ready in the morning let the natural consequences play out. If you live close to school, maybe that means he now has to walk or ride his bike. Maybe getting a tardy slip is enough to motivate your daughter to get up earlier for school. As a parent, we naturally want to help our children but we don't help them if we protect them from natural consequences. This means do not rescue your child by offering them a ride or excusing the tardy. Let your child learn the hard way and let natural consequences be the motivator to do something different next time.
Mornings can be stressful for families because there is a lot to do in a short amount of time. Getting kids up and at 'em is no easy task. Get your kids involved as much as possible so that they learn to take responsibility for getting to school on time and become less reliant on you to get them ready. Also, let natural consequences motivate your child to get up and ready in the morning. I hope these tips help you and your family have stress-free mornings.

Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter photographed together for the first time at Met Gala
It looks like Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter are officially on good terms.
Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter fans assemble. The Disney icons have been photographed together at the Met Gala.
Fans of Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter will already know that the two stars have history together. Olivia's debut single 'Drivers License' was allegedly inspired by Joshua Bassett breaking up with her and dating Sabrina immediately afterwards. Sabrina then released a single named 'Skin' which appeared to contain references to Olivia and the love triangle drama.
Now, Olivia and Sabrina have been spotted together for the first time and it looks as though they've put any drama to bed.

Earlier this week (May 2), Olivia and Sabrina both attended the Met Gala separately. Olivia wore a striking Versace dress and Sabrina took to the red carpet in a stunning Paco Rabanne two-piece. Now, Vogue have released a selection of behind the scenes photos from the all-star event and one of them shows that Olivia and Sabrina had a conversation that evening.
Taking to Instagram yesterday (May 5), Vogue wrote: "As photographer Sinna Nasseri made his way through the #MetGala, over the course of the star-studded evening, he recorded all kinds of blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments for posterity."
Sure enough, if you swipe to slide five you can see Olivia and Sabrina chatting behind Sebastian Stan and Kim Kardashian.
A post shared by Vogue (@voguemagazine)
As it stands, it's currently unclear exactly what Olivia and Sabrina discussed during the evening. However, it looks as though they are on good terms with each other. While neither Olivia nor Sabrina have ever mentioned each other publicly by name, both artists have previously made clear that they have no interest in putting any women down with their music.
In her concert film, Driving Home 2 U, Olivia explained that she almost didn't release 'Deja Vu' to avoid more drama. She let slip: "There was so much drama that was around 'Drivers License' and so much hate. I thought if I put this song out I was playing into this like drama, love triangle, like 'let's hate on other girls thing'. I just didn't want to do that."
Meanwhile, when Sabrina released 'Skin' she took to Instagram to assert that it was "not a diss track calling out one single person". In the song, she even sings: "Maybe we could've been friends / If I met you in another life", and "I just hope that one day / We both can laugh about it / When it's not in our face / Won't have to dance around it."
Based on their Met Gala interaction, it looks as though Olivia and Sabrina "can laugh about it" now.

January | 2012 | One Mom Talking: The ongoing story of one mom, three teens, and heroin.
So my last post was a mournful one. Self-pity. Whaddya gonna do?
This post is rejoiceful! My son, Dan, now 21 years old, completed his 1.5 year program in Recovery Court! Yesterday they had a court hearing for all the Recovery Court people. And when it was Dan's turn, lo and behold, he was greeted by: his current judge, his original judge, his parole officer, his counselor, his NarAnon sponsor, the people who worked in the jail when he was there, even the prosecuting attorney. Even the judge's clerk … and it was her day off. They all came to congratulate Dan on a job well done and to give testimony, on the record, of what an inspiration it has been to watch him grow and heal.
I wish I could have been there. But his dad was there, which is good. I'm tearing up just writing it.
In this case, for my boy, "The System" worked. The system I often railed against came through, partly because the program is a good one – a real example of the "it takes a village" philosophy. So I hope that program continues to be supported. But the program only works because of the people who run it. They did their jobs with heart, and they — plus the hand of God — saved my son's life. And he has touched theirs as well.
I'll write an official letter to someone there to express this, but I want to say it here: Thanks to all public officials who are in their positions for the right reasons, doing the best they can for everyday citizens. Whatever I end up owing the IRS…it's nothing compared to the gratitude I owe to all the people who walked beside my son at a time when I had to walk away.
Hi Friends. Mind if I vent?
I did a first run-through of my taxes this morning and it looks like I'm going to owe money. Owe money?? Oh yeah…I didn't plunge head-first into poverty for the right reasons. Let's see, first, I got divorced. Then, I worked part-time jobs so I could be home as much as possible for my kids. Of course, I did overuse credit at that time so their lives wouldn't change too much. Then I took money from my retirement account to pay the credit….
OHHHH…then my boys became heroin addicts. Rehab. Stolen goods. Stolen money. Oh yes…then moving cross-country to help my daughter – I took a loan from my remaining retirement funds for that. Couldn't find a job. Tried real estate. Bad timing. Took a low-paying part-time job. Still couldn't pay the laon on the retirement account so … I defaulted, making all that money = to an early distribution = taxes and penalty taxes because … I'm not 55 yet, I didn't take it to make mortgage payments (oh yeah, the house I didn't buy because I knew I couldn't afford it), I'm not a displaced *this* or unemployed *that*.
The result is, I have $400 total in my bank right now, and I just might end up owing the IRS $1500, and the state of South Carolina another $350. Great. I make $950 a month. Awesome.
I'm going for a long walk by the beach to pray about this, but right now, I'm feeling the vibe of the Volcano!
p.s. Thanks, just needed to vent. I know that this too shall pass and someday this will be history. But I'm not feeling the love at the moment.

Q: How do I search recursively in directories above a path in DOS? I have a directory path and I want to find a particular file in a directory directly above my path. Similar to the MSBuild command
"$([MSBuild]::GetPathOfFileAbove(filename.ext))"

except in a DOS prompt.
So if my directory path is c:\one\two\three\four
I want to look for filename.ext in c:\one\two\three\four, then in c:\one\two\three, then in c:\one\two, then in c:\one, then in c:, and return the path to the first instance of filename.ext I find. Is that possible in a simple DOS script?
The FOR command only seems to have /r, for searching recursively below the supplied directory path. I've searched everything I can think of and only found solutions for searching subdirectories below a path.

A: There is no such command. (I doubt, there is one in any language). So you need to climb up the tree by yourself.
Look if the file is in the current folder. If it is, store the folder and break the loop. Else go up one step and loop until you are on the top.
@echo off
:loop
echo ---- current = %cd%
dir /b desired.txt >nul 2>&1 && (set "folder=%cd%" & goto :finish)
if "%cd:~3%" == "" goto :finish
cd..
goto :loop
:finish
echo found file in %folder%

Top 10 Dance Styles in Nigeria
August 19, 2016 October 14, 2016 onuohaadanma 0 Comment Dance
Dance involves moving the body to the beat and rhythm of an organized sound. Different culture and backgrounds adopt dance styles to reveal or showcase different things. An expression, an idea or a story can be reflected through a dance. Here in Nigeria, dance can used to teach people social patterns and values. It can be used as a rite of passage, or be used to criticize members of a particular community or order. Dance styles are used by some communities to celebrate festivals or funerals. Dance can also be used for competitions, recitals or poetry. Dance in many african societies, is also used for performing rites of passage.
Over the years, dance styles have evolved from one dance step to another. Now, different creative artists come up with one dance move or the other to blend with their rhythm.
There are several popular dance moves in Nigeria. However, we came up with the top 10 dance styles in Nigeria, based solely on popularity, originality and fun.
Here you go, the top 10 dance styles in Nigeria, in no particular order.
#1 Azonto Dance
This is one of the dance fever that took Nigeria by storm since the near end of 2011. This dance originated from Ghana but was made popular here in Nigeria by our indigenous creative artist Wizkid and then, Fuse ODG. It is one communicative and expressive dance that lets you express what you have in mind while dancing to the music. It starts with one or two-step movements and involves knee bending and hip movements, just like most African dances. Now, it has evolved from the basic moves to maiming to actions such as washing, ironing of clothes, boxing, praying, swimming and others. It is a very amusing and creative dance which allows you to create your dance pattern.
#2 Suo Dance
This ghetto dance was hot in the late nineties but its reign didn't last long. The dance was created and made popular by two artists Mountain Black and Mad Melon on their hit single 'Danfo Driver'. However, it is on our top 10 because of the rave it created during the late nineties.
#3 Galala Dance
This dance is probably the official dance move for the ghetto community here in Nigeria. It was promoted by musicians who were brought up there. Artists such as Burna Boy, Daddy Showkey, Baba Fryo have helped make this dance popular. Galala dance involves the legs being moved backward with hands forward. Some people appointed Daddy Showkey as the creator of the dance, others say it is Father U-turn. The song is synonymous with the Nigerian Reggae Music.
#4 Alingo Dance
This dance move is one of the most recent moves created and popularized by the twin artists P-Square in their song titled 'Alingo'. The dance move is a fast one and requires energy because it is similar to break dancing. Some people say that the dance is somewhat complicated for them. When the celebrity twins uploaded the song on You-tube, it was also criticized for bearing a close semblance to the Azonto dance.
#5 Alanta Dance
This is an original dance move from Nigeria. It started out in 2007 in Ajegunle, a suburb of Lagos. The dance became popular when Artquake released it in a musical video 'Alanta'. Like most African dance, it requires vigorous movements of the hands, hips and legs. The pattern of the dance expresses a movement as if one is fanning flames while raising one leg. The dance portrays the humor and creativity of the Nigerian people. Artists like Timaya, TuFace Idibia, Terry G aided in making this dance move popular.
#6 Skelewu Dance
The dance was invented by Davido, a Nigerian artist. He shot and released two music videos in 2015 with the dance which became a mega hit. Another Nigerian artist laid claim to the dance and many critics claimed the dance looked like one other artist dance called Gbetiti.
#7 Etighi Dance
This dance was brought from the South-South part of Nigeria. The move requires the hips being carried up and alternated in right and left direction. You can mix it with the Azonto dance as they both require the same movement. 'Kukere' song, released in March 2012, by Iyanya made the dance move popular. Other artists have released music videos with the dance move but Iyanya's Kukere is the most recognized one.
#8 Sekem Dance
This dance move was created by the MC Galaxy and Tspize his producer. It was released in 2015. The song and dance move soon went viral and was one of the favorite song of our former President's wife, Patience Jonathan.
#9 Bobo Dance
The dance move was created by Olamide in his hit track 'Shakiti Bobo' released in May 2015 . This dance move is very popular and still current in our society today.
#10 Shoki Dance
This dance move is loved by almost everyone as it seems to match every beat. it became popular in June 2014 when the track 'Shoki' was released by Lil Kesh. Though there has been dispute between Lil Kesh and Orezi as to who created it, the Shoki slang has penetrated through almost every higher institution in Nigeria.
Nigerians enjoy these dance moves and we are expecting more creative dance moves in future.

We invite you to become involved with GAHA and make new friends with other Arabian enthusiasts like yourself. Check back often for updates on upcoming events. You will find us on Facebook, too. Also, please feel free to contact us directly with any questions or needs that you may have. We are your resource for all things Arabian in Georgia. .
We are a group that show a love of Arabians and all horses. We share this passion with others through shows, meetings, and clinics.
This club was formed to encourage and promote interest in the Arabian horse through publicity and horse shows.
Our club puts on a two to three day Endurance Ride at Big South Fork every year as well as an open youth horse show.
We welcome members from anywhere who need competition cards- no club dues so this is the best deal for distance riders and show people who don't need high point or club affiliation.
Our club's roots trace to General JM Dickinson's efforts to promote the breed as a versatile working, pleasure, show and sport horse. His daughter Margaret Dickinson Fleming helped found the club and today we remain a group of diverse interests and disciplines. MTAHA's annual Music City Shows is in its 34th Year.
We are a group of horse enthusiasts that enjoy especially our Arabian horses, but don't exclude owners of other breeds from our fun shows and trail rides.
CFAHA was formed to create new enthusiasm and generate "new" people into our breed through an educational based club. Emphasis on "FUN"!

Jacob Allender
For me, this feels awesome. Not a lot of people can say they earned their high school and college diploma at the same time. It's awesome that I already have a job in my career while people I know are still going to college.
The double-double graduate
Jacob Allender graduated from Waterford High School this spring -- after graduating from Gateway Technical College with a welding diploma.
Not only did Jacob earn diplomas from high school and college in the same month, but he also landed a job in his career field in the middle of a pandemic and before he even took part in his college commencement ceremony. And, all in the double-double year of 2020.
Jacob earned his diploma through a Gateway high school welding academy, a program which provides high school students the training and education to earn their welding/maintenance & fabrication technical diploma and enter a welding career. He says he initially signed up for the academy because he likes to build things -- but found out he really liked it once he started to weld.
"Really, just the thought of welding, of building, sparked my interest," says Jacob. "As soon as I started welding, I fell in love with it."
Jacob says the training he received was solid and helped him to obtain his welding position before he even graduated.
"The training helped me a lot," says Jacob. "I became better and better at welding, and when I was done, I was prepared to go into my career.
"For me, this feels awesome. Not a lot of people can say they earned their high school and college diploma at the same time. It's awesome that I already have a job in my career while people I know are still going to college. It's pretty nice."

How many Dysons are there? Dyson makes so many different models of vacuum cleaner, and are always introducing new ones onto the market, that people find the model numbers very confusing.
Was the DC01 the first? No it wasn't actually. The first widely-available vacuum cleaner James Dyson made was called the 'G-Force' . It was the first vacuum cleaner to use "Dual Cyclone" separation technology. The G-Force was licensed to the Japanese company Apex Inc., and only available on the Japanese market. It was not sold under the Dyson name. James Dyson later used the money he earned from the G-Force to start up the Dyson company we know today. However, the DC01 was the first machine offered to the British market.
The latest model at the time of writing this article is the DC41. A new generation ball machine that has just recently been launched.
However, what about all the Dysons in-between the DC01 and the DC41? Logic would suggest that there are another 39 of them, but there isn't. The DC06 was a robotic vacuum cleaner that never made it to full production. The DC09 and DC10 were never made because they sounded like an air plane. The DC13 was never made because of superstition. There is no DC37, DC38 or DC40 yet that we know of. But, of course, there might well be tomorrow.
By the time you are reading this, they may be up to the DC77. Who knows?
Check out the video below for a canter through all the Dyson vacuum cleaner models made to date.
There were a couple in there I had forgotten. Thanks.

This happened on the third day after Chiaki and Hayate befriended each other. Those eyes staring in jealousy and envy, that wanted to know the secret to talking to the new student who was intelligent, athletic and beautiful, all in the same package. The girl who was probably the hardest to approach and to talk to.
Unlike normal where the two would be talking about something, one of them looked troubled as she stared at a pile of letters that came from both her shoe locker and her desk. She had no idea what these letters were for.
The room hushed as heads turned in interest, mostly out of curiosity and wanting to eavesdrop.
Chiaki went into a short lecture about the two types of letters, explaining how it was a common occurrence for anyone related to sports. As she explained the difference, where fan letters express admiration, the love letters were different as the sender wishes to let the recipient know their feelings.
Hayate's expression darkened as the idea of love letters came to mind. Because she was a girl now, she guessed that any love letters she got were from boys. She didn't want to think about it as her gender originally was a boy.
She remembered that day, it was just yesterday after all. She had arrived at the school gate, where in the corner of her eye she caught an older boy harassing a girl. As she got closer to investigate, she found out the two were from the school's Kendo Clubs. The boy was acting all arrogant for some reason and denouncing the girls' Kendo Club for being weak and kept repeating how they should just disband. The girl looked like she was going to cry soon and Hayate stepped in to stop it.
After a rough argument that ended with the boy backing off after being glared at by Hayate, the incident ended, or so it was to be believed. After a few class periods, the same boy came into the classroom and challenged her to a match after school. She accepted it and the school buzzed with activity as they spread the news.
The match happened at the dojo that was allocated to the martial arts clubs. Although the coach advisor who taught both Kendo Clubs was reluctant, he seemed to want the boy, who was now named as Tatsuya Saito, to learn a lesson in humility. He didn't mind it either that there was a large crowd trying to watch the match.
Even with multiple people trying to convince her to wear body armor for the match, she refused. Although this unusual match happened, those who knew of Saito's ace level strength thought it was going to end with her being defeated and frustrated. Only one person in the crowd knew Hayate's true ability.
And because of Hayate's physical ability as well as sword training, she easily dominated the match without even trying too hard. Many were awed by her elegant movements when she dodged, and her fast powerful strikes that knocked him down afterwards. It was completely one-sided and she kept going until he couldn't move anymore.
There were many heads nodding in agreement around the two. Still looking troubled, she wondered what she needed to do. She ask Chiaki what was normal, and got an explanation. The opinion of her class was that she was a super naive girl despite that incredible episode of her dominating the boys' Kendo Club ace who had won the nationals last year.
Hayate began reading each of the letters. As Chiaki quietly watched, she saw Hayate's expression changing to a small smile, she wondered if those were words of admiration. Then starting from some point, Hayate's expression became confused, her cheeks redden for some reason, and she inadvertently began saying things out loud in surprise.
When she had started to read the letters, everyone became disinterested with just looking but their heads turned again as they heard that. "?!" began floating above their heads wondering who wrote that.
Then she read the next letter.
More "?!" began to appear floating in the air. She read the next letter, more panicked than before. Her face reddened again.
This process somewhat repeated itself for a while, with each letter getting slightly worse as it went on. No one in the classroom was calm, everyone had red faces imagining what the senders wanted Hayate to do for them. Based on how she was constantly shouting out the desire from each letter, it was easy to guess the gender of the senders. The ones that wanted to call her "Onee-sama" were all girls who had "pure" intentions. The ones from the boys were probably the worse ones as the girls in the class occasionally looked at the boys who desperately shook their heads in denial to the unsaid accusations.
Her face was really red as she finished and questioned Chiaki again.
On her desk was a pile of letter five times larger than the first one, Hayate felt like crying and didn't want to read these letters fearing it would be a repeat of before.
Hayate quietly took hold of Chiaki's hands with a small smile on her face, she looked at her dear friend with teary eyes and a blushing expression.
Chiaki said with a blush on her face as she nodded meekly. Oddly from the next day on, the number of letters Hayate received was reduced to a more normal amount. Unknown to the two in question, one of the girls in the class was from the Manga Club. She had created a shoujo-ai doujinshi using their likenesses, the popularity of the initial release sparked a doujin series that would later become an official manga series much later down the line. It would be a long time until the two found out about it, but that is a story for another time.

BRAZIL, SEPTEMBER 29, 2015 — Whether enduring South America's extreme heat or frigid mountain air, nature recordist Juan Pablo Culasso always sets out to capture high-quality unique bird sounds and soundscapes. Blind since birth, the 29-year-old Uruguayan-born Culasso has a unique perspective on sound recording. When on location, he makes sure his Sound Devices' 788T-SSD and 702 Portable Digital Audio Recorders are part of his rig, because he counts on their long running time and reliability to capture superior audio in extreme atmospheric conditions.
In 2003, Culasso began his work as a nature recordist capturing birdsongs. Today, he also records soundscapes, contributing his recorded nature sounds for publication, documentation, and in some cases, research purposes.
To achieve his goals, Culasso must also overcome the environmental challenges of capturing audio on location, which is why the 788T-SSD and 702 are his recorders of choice. The 788T-SSD is a portable eight-input, twelve-track recorder with timecode, while the 702 is a two-track, file-based digital audio recorder. Their low energy consumption, fast start-up time, lightweight feel and solid construction are just some of the features that he says have aided him on his recent treks. Culasso regularly adds the CL-8 Controller, a powerful mixing control surface for the 788T, to his setup, for greater control of his mix.
Culasso recently spent several weeks recording in Emas National Park, an area located in the states of Mato Grosso do Sul and Goiás, Brazil. He captured approximately 300 hours of audio, with plans to produce several albums of the material from this unique location.
While his blindness may seem like a major obstacle for a sound professional, Culasso embraces it. He typically memorizes the locations, as well as the shapes of the buttons and menu workflows on his equipment. He often utilizes several ISOs, and creates a mix with the CL-8. On occasion, he will use long XLR cables to set his microphones 100 feet away to capture the best ambient recordings possible. Culasso pairs his Sound Devices recorders with a variety of mics, depending on the specific project and situation, typically choosing Sennheiser or Telinga mics.
Founded in 1998, Sound Devices, LLC designs both Sound Devices audio products and Video Devices video products. Sound Devices offers portable audio mixers, digital audio recorders and related equipment for feature film, episodic television, documentary, news gathering, live-event, and acoustical test and measurement applications. Video Devices offers digital video monitors, recorders and related products, which address a range of video productions, including fast-paced studio applications, live sports and events, as well as mobile, TV, film and documentary productions.
The Sound Devices, LLC headquarters is located in Reedsburg, Wisconsin. Additional offices are located in Madison, Wisconsin, Chicago, and Berlin. For more information, visit the Sound Devices and Video Devices websites: www.sounddevices.com and www.videodevices.com.
