I was invited to read and review this title by Net Galley and Atria Books. I thank them for the opportunity. The first two chapters showed signs of promise, but in the end, this book is poorly written and for most, it will also be offensive. I can't recommend this title. That said, it's about to become a television program, so perhaps you will enjoy it more than I do. But I have to call them as I see them, and if they give this writer a host of awards, I will still say this book is worth one star and nothing else.
Ravi Singh is our protagonist. He has dropped out of a program of religious studies, to his father's profound disappointment, and become a detective. He had something of a breakdown, and under stress he sees Hindu Gods that no one else can see. An added pressure is financial; he has bills to pay, and his mother has racked up some gambling debts for which she may be harmed if not paid soon. I warmed to the unlikely loan shark, and I thought this was going to be a fun read. And if it had been well written, it would have been.
In other reviews, I have occasionally noted the way in which a tired, overused plot device may become brand new and almost magical in the hands of a capable writer. This one works the other way around. It's a unique, if somewhat gimmicky idea, but the author will have to develop a vocabulary before I can enjoy his work.
Profanity has never been a hot button for me. I've been known to toss the "f" word into my own reviews when feeling particularly warmly. Unfortunately, Tantimedh uses the word the way I've heard teenagers do it; when someone is too lazy to consider what word might be interesting and hasn't been overused yet, the "f" word can become noun, verb, adjective, and interjection. Everything, everything, everything in this book is said, by either narrator or in dialogue, to be "fucked up". By the 40% mark I was so distracted, and it was so obvious that I wasn't going to engage with the text as I had hoped, that I started keeping track to see whether my perception was accurate. Was I being snarky, or was that word—and a few other similar ones, especially the mother-f word—all over the place? And as I started highlighting, I was amazed to find it on almost every page. Some pages were miraculously free of it, but then there'd be another page where I found it twice, or thrice. At this point I gave myself permission to skip to 80% and see whether something wonderful would happen at the end to redeem this thing. It's been known to happen; just not here.
I've only panned a title I was invited to review once before, and that was because of ugly racist references throughout the text. I'm generally a generous reviewer. But suddenly I felt as if I were before a class of eighth graders once more, explaining that not only will profanity offend some readers, but when it's overused, it's often because the writer doesn't want to do the work to find a more specific or eloquent term.
Whether the issue is due to a translation issue—I didn't check to see if this was published in something other than English originally—or laziness, or a lack of facility as a writer is moot. The end result is the same. This is bilge. Save your money.

Government Initiatives Create Opportunities for Businesses and Homeowners
October 14, 2020 / JCT 2016 Edition
Blog Author: Peter Hibberd
The construction industry, in keeping with most other industries, is going through one of the most challenging periods known to those currently employed. In April this year, construction activity, according to the ONS, fell by 40% month on month for new works and around 38% for repair works. Not surprising given lockdown, but a degree of miscommunication meant that many contractors stopped working when they could have continued, albeit with restrictions.
As we emerge from lockdown, and business takes on a semblance of normality, construction is expected to be at the forefront as Government announcements abound. Once again, its use as a prime economic regulator is to play a significant part. In addition to the plans for increasing infrastructure expenditure there is the Prime Minister's, 'Build, Build, Build' announcement which sets out that by September new regulations will provide greater freedom to change the use of buildings and land without the necessity to obtain planning permission. In a move to kick start the construction industry and speed up rebuilding it is proposed that under new rules, existing commercial properties, including newly vacated shops, can be converted into residential housing more easily. This comes alongside a financial package of measures which includes, amongst other things, a £12bn affordable homes package. There is also the Chancellor's Summer Statement which includes £2bn for grants for green home improvements as part of £3bn plan for decarbonising housing and public buildings, and the temporary relief of Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT).
Plans are one thing, action is another, especially when the precise detail is still embryonic. Action depends on many things, not least that lockdown will change our view of housing and the workplace. Similarly, it will change businesses view of how they operate and will lead to significant restructuring in parts of our economy at a faster pace. Inevitably, there will be major doubts as to what and when things should be done. Confidence is the key to a successful economic uplift, something currently in short supply; that must change.
Opportunity and the need for small scale building works by business and homeowners is certainly there. Many business premises will require renovation or alteration to meet changed needs and expectations. The proposed planning changes are likely to facilitate such action. Other businesses will need to catch up on repair work that has not been carried out because of lockdown restrictions. In terms of homes there is the stimulus of the Green Homes Grant scheme for home improvements that save energy. Furthermore, SDLT relief may stimulate housing sales, and where it does, there is much potential for updating and extending properties as well as for repair.
To go ahead with any building work, particularly in current economic conditions, confidence is an essential requirement and there is every reason to find it. It is also essential to enter a building contract but fortunately this is one area where confidence need not be a problem because of the availability of the tried and tested JCT building contracts.
A large majority of building projects are small, and it is those projects that should now flow from Government's stimulus and facilitate recovery. JCT publishes two versions of Minor Works Building Contract 2016 (MW) for such projects, one with contractor's design, the other where there is no design by the contractor. The with contractor's design contract also has its own Minor Works Sub-Contract with sub-contractor's design for use where that specialist designs. The sub-contract for use where there is no specialist design is the JCT Short Form of Sub-Contract.
Although MW contracts are for work that is simple in character, which is either wholly designed or leaves part to be designed by the contractor using the Contractor's Designed Portion, they provide a complete framework including payment, insurance, liquidated damages, rectification period and termination.
MW is a lump sum contract based on drawings and other documents, sufficient for the contractor to price the works. In terms of payment and dispute resolution, it complies fully with the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 as amended. The contract form requires the completion of the Articles, Recitals, and Contract Particulars which provide a significant degree of control and operational flexibility. It contains Supplemental Provisions covering collaborative working, health and safety, value engineering, sustainable development, performance indicators and notification of disputes, which provisions always operate unless disapplied. Other supplemental provisions, for use where the employer is a local or public authority, cover transparency and the Public Contracts Regulations.
Badly thought out works of alteration, renovation and retrofit can throw up difficulties and provide poor value or worse. Ad hoc changes by way of retrofit for improved eco performance can be a particular problem. A whole project view, ideally by someone with specific expertise is preferable. As both contracts require an Architect/Contract Administrator to administer the conditions it may be appropriate for such a person to fulfil that purpose as the designer.
Guidance Notes in respect of the contract are contained within the contract form where reference is also made to a user checklist which can be downloaded from the JCT website. The layout and wording of the contract, together with the guidance and check list, make using the JCT Minor Works Building Contract straightforward. It does all that one needs to contract successfully.
In addition, for use in specific situations, JCT also publishes a Repair and Maintenance Contract for commercial use (2016) and two Home Owner/Occupier Contracts (2015), one where there is a consultant appointed to oversee the work.

Q: How can I replace a textview with a button? How can I remove a textview and replace it with a button with the same text and the same position?
I need to do that programatically when I press another button in the activity.

A: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@android:color/white"
    android:padding="10dp">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tv_test_one"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@android:drawable/btn_default"
        android:padding="10dp"
        android:text="Lorem Ipsum"
        android:textColor="@android:color/black"
        android:visibility="visible" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn_test_one"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@android:drawable/btn_default"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:padding="10dp"
        android:text="Lorem Ipsum"
        android:textAllCaps="false"
        android:textColor="@android:color/black"
        android:visibility="visible" />

</RelativeLayout>

There are TextView and Button both at same position.
Now you need to do is:
TextView tv_test_one = findViewById(R.id.tv_test_one);
Button btn_test_one = findViewById(R.id.btn_test_one);

// This will replace button to textview
tv_test_one.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
btn_test_one.setVisibility(View.GONE);

//This will Replace TextView to Button
tv_test_one.setVisibility(View.GONE);
btn_test_one.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

I have been dabbling a bit with sunvox lately, it is such a fun and creative program with real unique characteristics, I am loving it.
I have decided to finally try and get a song/idea close to finish and I wanted to share my work in progress.
It needs alot of levels adjusted and rises and dynamics put in, maybe some new parts to get a better flow, but I am liking it.
I have a real love of modular synth sounds and ideas so have tried a bit to experiment, however I am very much a noob at all this.
1 thing i particularly liked myself was i tried to emulate a cassette tape running low or just old and crappy creating a warble and flutter in the sound.
I used a volca bass sampled to get some rythmic bass sounds and a couple of patterns, i also used samples for the drums and string parts.
Hope you like it, and please if you have any critisism I would love to hear it! I want to learn learn learn!

Coronavirus has disrupted our lives. It has crashed economies and broken healthcare systems. The government has provided stipends, and food pantries are supplying basics, but life as we know it has been upset and effects will be felt for months and years to come.
Kisses for a Cause is the charitable endeavor of Sarasota-based artist, Alexis Fraser, also known as Lipstick Lex. The organization was created to promote the arts and spread positivity through cultural and educational programs, experiences, and community outreach initiatives. Never before has this mission resonated so closely with a widespread global need.
The Made With Love Project is a collaboration between local female entrepreneurs, Ingrid Harb (Women Ambassadors Forum), Kim Linton (1Light Daring Leadership & Facilitation), Alexis Fraser (Lipstick Lex), and Kristi Finigan (Kisses for a Cause).
In June 2020, we intend to provide 7,500+ community kits to struggling families across the Tampa Bay Region while making a conscientious effort to drive economic impact by partnering with regional businesses.
Our goal is to provide hope, supplies, personal enrichment to families in a time of crisis and uncertainty.
THE KITS
Community kits adorned with the art of Sarasota-based artist, Lipstick Lex, will consist of items such as:
Local Gift Cards & Coupons
Non-Perishable Food Items
Activities for Kids & Parents
Regardless of how Covid-19 is impacting you, whether it be professionally, personally, or both, there are ways that you can get involved with this movement and help provide support throughout the Greater Tampa Bay Region.
DONATE - Consider paying it forward and financially contributing to assist with the production of these community kits.
LEVERAGE YOUR NETWORK - Get social. Raise awareness. Spread the word. Share the campaign. Engage your circle.
PROVIDE PRODUCT - Help us stock the kits with your product.
GET CREATIVE - Creativity is key in these most unprecedented times. Businesses have had to pivot substantially. Fundraising looks different today than it did three months ago. Needs have evolved on both from a donor and beneficiary perspective.
Have an idea that drives business for your company and advances the mission of the cause? Let's put our creative minds together and find a way to keep your brand relevant and at the forefront of people's minds, build loyalty, and give back in ways that are sometimes bigger than a single donation.

All Mod Cons is the third studio album by the British band The Jam, released in 1978 by Polydor Records. The title, a British idiom one might find in housing advertisements, is short for "all modern conveniences" and is a pun on the band's association with the mod revival. The album reached No. 6 in the UK Albums Chart.[3]
The album was reissued in the US in 1979, with the song "The Butterfly Collector" replacing "Billy Hunt".

Background and music[edit]
"I'd found my feet. After This Is The Modern World, I thought, 'Am I going to let this slide or fight against it?' My back was against the wall. It was a matter of self-pride."
Paul Weller, reflecting on his mindset between After This Is The Modern World and All Mod Cons in a 1998 interview with Uncut magazine. May 1998.[4]
Following the release of their second album, This Is the Modern World, the Jam undertook a 1978 tour of the US supporting American rock band Blue Öyster Cult. The Jam were not well received on the tour and This Is the Modern World failed to reach the Billboard 200 chart. Under pressure from their record company, Polydor, to deliver a hit record, songwriter Paul Weller was suffering from writer's block when the band returned to the UK.[5] Weller admitted to a lack of interest during the writing/recording process, and had to completely re-record a new set of songs for the album after producer Chris Parry rejected the first batch as being sub-standard.[6] All Mod Cons was more commercially successful than This Is the Modern World.
British Invasion pop influences run through the album, most obviously in the cover of The Kinks' "David Watts". The single "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight", which Weller had originally discarded because he was unhappy with the song's arrangement,[7] was rescued from the studio bin by producer Vic Coppersmith and became one of the band's most successful chart hits up to that point, peaking at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart.[5] The song is a first-person narrative of a young man who walks into a tube station on the way home to his wife, and is beaten by far right thugs. The lyrics of the song "To Be Someone (Didn't We Have a Nice Time)" criticised fickle people who attach themselves to people who enjoy success and leave them once that is over.
"Class issues were very important to me at that time ..." said Weller. "Woking has a bit of a stockbroker belt on its outskirts. So I had those images – people catching the train to Waterloo to go to the city. 'Mr Clean' was my view of that."[8]
All Mod Cons was reissued on CD in 2006, featuring a second disc of b-sides, outtakes and unreleased demos and a DVD containing a 40-minute documentary directed by Don Letts.[9]

The Village Voice B[17]
In his review for NME, Charles Shaar Murray said that the album was "not only several light years ahead of anything they've done before but also the album that's going to catapult the Jam right into the front rank of international rock and roll; one of the handful of truly essential rock albums of the last few years."[18] Dave Schulps of Trouser Press stated that "All Mod Cons firmly establishes Paul Weller (and the Jam) as a major talent (and band) for the '80s."[19]
NME ranked All Mod Cons as the second best album of 1978 in its end of year review.[20]
In 2000, Q magazine placed All Mod Cons at number 50 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. The album is also listed as one of the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[6] In 2013, NME ranked it at number 219 in its list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[21][22]

For Seattlites seeking inspiration on how to plan for transit-oriented development (TOD), the edge-city just across the lake may seem like an unlikely place to find it. But in 2007 the City of Bellevue completed a planning effort for the area east of downtown known as the Bel-Red Corridor that is well worthy of emulation. Currently best known for its luxury car dealerships, the Bel-Red Corridor is on the path for the future Sound Transit East Link light rail alignment connecting downtown Bellevue and Redmond.
The graphic above illustrates proposed building heights limits surrounding a future transit station node. The max of 150 feet is far higher than the typical buildings in that area, but it is appropriate for the densities that make TOD successful. How did Bellevue pull it off in the face the commonly held aversion to tall buildings?
The map above identifies proposed open space and riparian corridor improvements that are part of the deal. This kind of amenity upgrade helps placate residents who tend to see tall buildings as a sacrifice. And renderings such as the one below help people visualize how high-intensity development can provide attractive and livable environments.
This Fall, the City of Seattle will embark on station-area plan updates for the Beacon Hill, McClellan, and Othello light rail stations. To leverage our massive investment in light rail, and to move toward a more sustainable city overall, heights in the 150-foot range should be allowed in some of these areas. As in the case of Bel-Red Corridor, Seattle's challenge will be to balance the more intense development with improvements to public amenities, such that in the end urban livability is enhanced for all.

I'm all in favor of taller height limits, but I'm unclear on whether there's a reason to believe this corridor is actually poised to attract density. What happens if the developers all decide that 5+1 buildings give them a better return on investment? Does Bellevue still get saddled with the cost of providing the amenities without also getting the tax base expected with the denser development?

I realized, soon into my semi-hiatus, that I wasn't taking a break from the internet so much as my internet persona. The experiment has shed light on several areas of personal interest to me, but one of the most prevalent things the semi-hiatus has shown me is how little people actually know me. Even those I have known for years have shown, as I stepped away from my perceived 'image,' that they know a vague idea of me but do not actually, in fact, know who I am.
And this is largely nobody's fault but mine, if indeed it is a 'fault.' I've been blogging since I was thirteen – through some of my most formative years, and while I wouldn't trade that for anything, the experience has given me a kind of 'split personality,' a division between myself and my internet alter-ego. As I grew older, I developed a sense of responsibility toward maintaining my persona, and respecting the boundary between my real self and my perceived self. This is a tricky thing, as I earnestly try to be as genuine as possible in both areas. It's asking a paradox of myself, and this paradox places a wall between myself and most other people.
For the most part, this is okay with me. I'm not the kind of person who can handle more than a few extremely close friends (read: two). Even those I count as my good friends know very little about me. Occasionally people express interest in becoming close with me, and my automatic response is 'Sure!' but I've discovered that's not actually what I want. It leads to spreading myself far too thin, and I simply can't maintain that level of personal intimacy with many people.
People make statements about knowing me well, and each time I feel a slight pang of guilt, because I've allowed them to think it's true. It doesn't happen intentionally. I never wake up with the thought, 'Today I'm going to think they really know who I am while actually keeping myself from them.' It simply happens, because I have created a persona outside of myself. I enjoy having this persona for on very simple reason: I often receive messages from people telling me how encouraging or uplifting that persona is to them. It helps people. I help people, or I brighten their day, or I give them something to think about. It's what I do. But it is not always who I am.
My persona enjoys attention and is always up for a conversation with anyone. My persona is pretty pictures or dolled-up selfies, sketches or funny anecdotes from the day. People assume I'm extroverted, a social butterfly.
Me? I hate being the center of attention. I've been going through a little-to-no makeup phase during my semi-hiatus, which means selfies are much less forthcoming. My life is not all funny anecdotes – and while I laugh often, I also cry often. I have a huge sense of humor, but wrapped inside that sense of humor is a grave and serious person that many people don't see, because I don't let many people see it. I'm intensely introverted and spend more time reading history or behavioral psychology than I do reading fiction.
This separation of my two selves is something I've given much thought to over the past month, and I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. The line, however, tends to grow so blurred occasionally that I'm not sure where I stop and my persona begins, and during my 'time away' I'm slowly re-building that line so I can take care of them both without the stress of confusion and self-identity theft. I'm re-learning not to let my persona rob me of myself, and I'm realizing I need to do this at least once a year, possibly twice. Extracting one from the other has proven borderline excruciating and has kept me up nights, attempting to untangle the knots I've accidentally created.
Can I be genuine without showing all of myself? I think so. Can I upkeep a persona that is me, but only part of me? I think so. And I'm okay with that – in fact, should I ever achieve a fluid balance between the two, I will be extremely happy. But for now, I will continue to strive for honesty and balance, and I would like you to know that I care about you. Me. Myself. I care about you, but I cannot be all of myself with you.
So here's to balance, honesty, and a continual reach for the two.
Awareness is usually the starting point for improvement, or so I've found. Unfortunately, awareness can be itchy and uncomfortable, but I guess that's what makes us move to change something.
I've noticed this with you, honestly. I didn't know how to say something without making it sound harsh. The only problem is when people think they know you and then you kind of back away from the relationship without saying much and they go, "wait; did I do something wrong?". But I understand that because I'm the same way and I've done the same thing. I'm hardly myself with anyone and I like to be alone a lot because smiling and being energetic all the time is exhausting – whether in person or on the internet. It's not a bad thing to take care of yourself. You have to. Like you said, though, it's hard finding a balance.
I'm working on a followup post discussing what didn't make it into /this/ post that should be more clarifying/hopefully help with this somewhat. <3 And yes, simply 'backing away' without explanation is absolutely the wrong thing to do, for both parties.
What a very interesting post and idea… I think I know what you mean, at least on some level. My internet "persona" is a very upbeat, friendly person, who tries to be sunshiney because I make a decision that there is enough stress and badness and grouchiness on the internet, so I want to be an uplifting person online instead of one who drags people down, even unconsciously. It doesn't take effort to be "happy" online because it's just words. Words are super powerful, and they can portray a certain emotion. I do the same thing when I'm with friends: I'm happy. But when I'm at home, when I'm the real me, I don't have any masks (or… maybe some) and I'm just… me. Which isn't necessarily a good me because I struggle with things too, and it's hard to be happy and right and uplifting all the time because we're all flawed people. But I don't tend to think much about the separation of real-me and internet-or-with-friends-persona me. So this was a thought-inducing post! I think it's not bad to have a persona, because if everyone knew the deepest shadowiest grittiest realest versions of everyone else, it would not necessarily be a good idea, and it would also take away the gift that is letting a few close friends and family members in on the "real" you, because if everyone knew, it wouldn't be special. And it's also good to present a person who is helpful, maybe? We can't be 100% "us" all the time, especially online. I love that you're thinking about this and trying to work it out and being honest about it to yourself and to us. It's one of the things I love about you. :) You're very open and deep and not afraid to also tell us that you're a different kind of deep or not necessarily open… We're all paradoxes inside puzzles wrapped up in enigmas or something like that, and that's one of the beautiful things about human beings.
<3 <3 <3 I appreciate you.
Thanks for sharing, Mirriam! I would guess I'm the kind of acquaintance who would fall into this category, as we became online friends due to shared interests & a few mutual friends. I have definitely been blessed by your open welcome & friendly inclusion.
Blogging, writing, making yourself public in any way is tough! It's a privilege to hear about the behind the scenes part.
I've found that life often provides transitions which create the necessary "turning over the internal compost", but kudos for the self-awareness to take a conscious break & refocus. Praying it was, and continues to be a healthy experience.
<3 I went through a time of feeling very, very fractured. There was medical student me, where no one knew who I was and I just studied and tried to keep my brain from imploding…online me, who blogged about randomness and serious topics and pinned all the things I liked, but who only shared myself after I'd gotten things figured out or fixed, the other me, who liked a million things but rarely told anyone lest they dislike me…I felt like I had DID and the number of "me's" I was trying to juggle was driving me nuts. It wasn't intentional…I had just emphasized a part of myself and it had slipped away from me.
It is hard to sort through, to reconnect yourself and find out how to be /yourself/ without overemphasizing or losing pieces of what makes you /you/…and at the same time be comfortable with the fact that /you don't have to share every piece of yourself with every person/…but it is marvelously worth it. You can give a genuine smile to someone and remain fully clothed. You can be open, like you are here, like you've been so often, like I've loved about your blog posts for years…but you don't have to share the intimacy you have with those closest to you with everyone, or turn into the Cheshire cat just because everyone wants another smile. That'll make you disappear all together.
Oh dear… no need for guilt, the shame that climbs. No need for disappointment's prick or fear to fail.
We all do as you have have done there. Few have splayed themselves out for all to see bare.
We see liveliness, loveliness, and amazing talents. We see words that reach to our souls.
I, for one, think you are a precious friend, no matter the weaknesses, strengths, doubts or fears that remain in the wings of who you are.
You are a household name in my home, because you are still part of what you have shown.
Even if you feel it is not all that you are, Aren't we all learning more- daily- about others, and ourselves?
(Yeah, ummm… the rhyming… I couldn't get it out of me brain. So… this major introvert in extrovert's clothing really does see what you mean and why, and the concerns and cares of it all.
Does this mean I'm an ogre? No. No it doesn't. But there are very few people in my life who actually know me. Everyone puts on a mask in public (public being anytime you interact with anyone but Christ). I often find myself changing when I'm around different sets of friends. A certain facet of myself rolls into more predominance depending on who I am with. I'm not making it up, it's just that they like or expect or enjoy that part of my personality and it meshes best with theirs.
I have about four or five people, a long standing friend being one of them, that actually have a pretty complete picture of who I am, warts and all. But I've interacted with hundreds, maybe thousands of people and acquaintances over the years (retail) And I'm pretty well liked. That's okay. I'm not who they think I am, but the part of me they've seen, is true. Is that making sense? They know only a part of me but think they know me. And that's not true.
Personally, I'm glad that you have an internet you and a true you. It's smart. Its savvy. But I don't think that the persona is separate. I think like me it's a facet of you. But like the facet of a gem, its flat. Sometimes we might get a glimpse of the heart of the gem through the facet but it's well protected. And that's just plain smart.
I get this. I really do. I'm one of those people whose an ambient (both introverted and extroverted… and I can switch between the two on a dime). I feel like my Internet persona is similar to what I show people in my real life… but it's not the me I am when I'm alone or with my family. It's part of me perhaps… I like to be honest, and lately in an attempt to think better of myself, I've tried to be more open and honest about who I am… BUT I have always felt that what I show others is mostly just a part I play instead of who I truly am. I have a few close friends, but often I feel that even they don't know the true and real me and I'd be worried of scaring them off if they did. Of my friends… maybe three know more about me than anyone else. And you know, I think they still get a mask most of the time… perhaps a thinner mask than others get, or a half mask instead of a full one, but it's still a mask. It's the person I am when I'm around other people… it's not necessarily the real me.
It's confusing… I can't really separate the two. But yeah… I get it.

Comments | [02/15/05] Read it. This book is the best example of what photo-journalism can be by our industry's leading master of the craft. The irony of this book is that all his images were shot for TV, not for magazine or print. Go figure that when LIFE and LOOK were at the peak, Duncan's work appeared as filler during the late night broadcast of convention coverage.
Comments | [02/13/05] In the summer of 1968 I was getting ready for my senior year in high school; already sure that photography was going to play a major role in my life. And even though I didn't realize the significance of NBC allowing DDD, a still photographer, the facilities and time to present his work -- I was still spellbound by what he presented on the tube during both conventions. 1968 was an incredible year in the United States, and this book reveals some of the polarity of thought and action that was playing out before us. Duncan ended up with more of a story to tell than he could have known when he started the project, and this book is a good companion to those who want some additional insight into that turbulent year, as well as for photojournalists. His shooting style was very much at the leading edge during the 60s and 70s…but most remarkable when you realize that he put those prints up to the camera one-at-a-time during his slots in the convention television coverage. I also recommend his "Yankee Nomad", which should give you a better idea at how he arrived at "Self-Portrait: U.S.A.".
Comments | [10/12/02] This is THE book that got me into photojournalism. I think that my "style" (if I have one) of shooting tight comes from my loving David Douglas Duncan's book on the 1968 political conventions. Going straight from the jungles of Vietnam to the convention floors in Chicago and Miami, Duncan utilized a (at the time) super-telephoto lens to capture the faces and emotions of the delegates and politicians. Amazing sharpness. Telling images. Straight talk about the scene from the photographer. This is what photojournalism is all about. It's long out-of-print, but available in used houses everywhere. Get a copy. This is a "must-have". Bert Hanashiro.


Regardless of where you live right now or where you're planning to move, it's safe to assume that there are a lot of local moving companies operating near you. The number of options available to you can be convenient in choosing which to hire, but on the other side of the coin, it can also be very overwhelming. This is especially true if you're hiring a moving company for the first time. Usually, you won't have any idea of how and where you're going to start your search.
Hiring a local moving company is like swimming in a wide ocean – you won't have any direction in finding the best local moving company for your needs. To make things easier for you, ask recommendations from friends and family. If they were able to hire local moving companies in the past, ask who should you hire and stay away from. Since your own social circle has first-hand experiences with these moving companies, you'll have a better idea of how they work and what to expect.
Once your family and friends give you their recommendations, you might already have a list of qualified local moving companies. List all of these companies, get their contact numbers and reach out to them. Inquire about their services and cost, and most importantly, their customer service, as well. As much as possible, you should compare at least three options. Screening different local moving companies will give you an idea of the standard costs of services and which one is actually suitable to your budget.
3. Carefully review the estimate.
Talking with a representative from a local moving company which offers cheap rates and competitive services can be enticing. When you hear this kind of offer, you might immediately say "yes" and hire them. Although it can be tempting to jump to a decision, don't do it. Aside from the services and cost, ask about the estimates of your move. Make sure that the local moving company is transparent with the fees they'll going to charge you. While you're at it, don't forget to ask about the factors which can affect these fees. When you're informed regarding this matter, you'll increase the chances of paying cheaper rates.
4. Ask about the insurance and license of the movers.
Because of the advent of technology, more and more individuals are posing as businesses in order to scam people. Instead of proving services (which they promised to customers), this kind of businesses will only take your money and disappear. If you don't want to fall victims to these businesses, always ask about the insurance and license of the movers. These documents can serve as your assurance that the local moving company you're eyeing to hire is trained and skilled to do the job. An insurance and license also means that the state allows them to work as movers.
5. Require a written contract.
Depending on where you're going to move and how many valuables you'll bring, hiring a local moving company can be expensive. Hiring one will also require time and effort especially when you're choosing which to hire. To ensure that all of your investment will not go to waste, only hire a local moving company which offers a written contract. This document can detail the responsibilities of the parties involved in a move. Additionally, a written contract can speak a lot about the reputability and legitimacy of the local moving company.
Choosing a local moving company is serious business. Because of the number of tasks you'll have to accomplish whenever moving, you have to make sure that the moving company you're going to hire can actually make the move stress-free and not do the complete opposite. You can surely experience the former once you use this article as your guide!

The Cannibal spouse who used human meat for pastries Jailed
Law, Weird
A Brazilian man — dubbed the "Sweeney Todd" cannibal — his wife and his mistress were each sentenced to several decades in prison after they were convicted of murdering women and stuffing their flesh into pastries that they then ate and handed out to neighbors, reports said.
Jorge Beltrao Negromonte da Silveira, his wife, Isabel Pires, and his mistress, Bruna Cristina Oliveira, were sentenced over the weekend after they were arrested in 2012 for killing at least three women, Brazilian outlet G1 reported. The trio — nicknamed the "cannibals of Garanhaus" for the neighborhood where the murders took place — was on trial for killing Alexandra Falcon Silva, 20, and Gisele Helena da Silva, 31.
Silveira was sentenced to 71 years in prison, while his wife received 68 years and his mistress 71 years and 10 months.
The trio lured women to their home by offering them a job as a nanny or giving them religious advice before slaughtering them and eating their flesh. Silveira's wife used some of the flesh to make stuffed meat pastries called salgados. They sold some of the pastries to neighbors.
The rest of the women's remains reportedly were buried in their back yard.
On Friday, Silveira accused his mistress of torturing him.
"I'll tell you the truth now because in the other trial, I hid a lot in defense of Bruna. I've known Bruna since she was 17 and she told me she was a witch. I have no part in it. Both I and Isabel were tortured to assume that," Silveira said, according to G1.
The trio carried out the killings as a "purification ritual," the BBC previously reported. At the time of the arrests, police also uncovered a book written by Silveira titled, "Revelations of a Schizophrenic," in which he claimed he heard voices and was infatuated with killing women.
The cannibal family was convicted in 2014 of killing Jéssica Camila da Silva Pereira. Silveira received 23 years in prison, while his wife and mistress were sentenced to 20 years, the BBC reported.

Tvärskog è una località (tätort) della Svezia  sita nel comune di Kalmar.

Storia
Tvärskog fu abitata sin dall'età del ferro. Non ci sono, tuttavia, tracce di insediamenti nelle età del bronzo e del rame. Nella periferia Nord di Tvärskog è stata trovata l'unica testimonianza di un insediamento antico. Momento di massimo sviluppo, per questa cittadina, fu l'inizio del XX secolo nel quale venne costruita la ferrovia Ljungbyholm–Karlslunda Järnväg che collegava Ljungbyholm a Påryd. Qualche decennio dopo si fondo a Tvärskog una segheria tuttora in funzione.
Il nome Tvärskog significa letteralmente "strada di passaggio nel bosco".

Pearl Of Africa
Bobi Wine Listed Among 'Foreign Policy's' Top 100 Global Thinkers
by Paul Ampurire
Singer and Member of Parliament, Bobi Wine
Ugandan singer and politician, Bobi Wine has been named on the list of Top 100 global thinkers of 2019 compiled by American American news publication, 'Foreign Policy'.
Founded in 1970 and focused on global affairs, current events, domestic and international policy, Foreign Policy produces content daily on its website and in six print issues annually.
Bobi Wine was named in the first group of 10 out of the 10 categories that will make up 2019's Top 100 list. The list comprises thinkers who have had enormous impact on the world in the past decade.
The other groups are for people who have been influential in the past year: thinkers and doers 40 and under, as well as those in defense and security, energy and climate, technology, economics and business, science and health, and activism and the arts.
Bobi Wine who is the Member of Parliament for Kyadondo East joins a list that includes the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Christine Lagarde, CNN host and author Fareed Zakaria, New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern as well as two Reuters journalists; Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo who were jailed for investigating the violence in Myanmar.
Foreign Policy described Bobi Wine as "Uganda's firebrand singer-turned-politician who grew up poor in Kampala" and draws focus to the events surrounding the political saga in Arua in August 2018 when Bobi Wine was allegedly tortured while in military detention.
The 36-year-old celebrity and opposition politician is recognized for having fought for the dignity of the poor. The category the singer is listed under is 'Activism and the Arts'.
"Bobi Wine, born Robert Kyagulanyi, has rallied Uganda's youth by arguing against a proposed social media tax and fighting for the dignity of the poor" writes the publication in its brief on Wine.
It adds: "Ugandan soldiers attempted to silence Wine in August 2018, first beating him brutally and then bringing him to trial for treason in a military court, although he is a civilian".
"Wine recovered, picked up attention in the international media, and his "people power" campaign continues, undeterred".
Bobi Wine reacted to this in tweet saying he was "extremely honored" to be on the list.
"Extremely honored to be named amongst the @ForeignPolicy Global Thinkers, 2019. Humbled that the small things we do for our country & our people are appreciated by the world. Such recognition by the world only reaffirms to us that ours is not a wrong cause. Encouraged to carry on," Bobi Wine tweeted on Thursday.
Way before he came to the political realm as an MP, Bobi Wine had branded himself as a singer who used his music and status as a musician to speak against social issues including HIV, bad hygiene, mistreatment of traders in Kampala by city authorities among others. His songs appealed to his fellow youths to make right choices in life. He came to label this kind of music as 'edutainmemt'.
The singer says that his activism is partly influenced by the hardships he met growing up in one of Kampala's biggest slums, Kamwokya.
The full list of the Foreign Policy Top 100 Global Thinkers is set to be released on January 24.

It was a little over a week ago now that we hipped you to Dem Southernfolkz by offering up a free download of the title track from the group's debut LP, The Message.
HP: Seeing as how one of you is currently serving in Iraq , how do you all feel about the war? What's it like over there?
DSFZ: Our hearts go out to all those who served, and are currently serving, their country. We also would like to take the time to send a special shout-out to those who fight daily battles in the streets of America, Africa, Europe and around the globe.
Being overseas in a war is like wearing a double suede and leather woolly mammoth winter jumpsuit with hot blue steel-toe boots and a No-Drip Triple Wet Curl... get the picture? It's nothing to glorify. There are people dying daily: Americans, Iraqis, Afghans. We in the free world take for granted the little things like soap, hot water, fast food, parents and freedom of speech and choice.
Fairly powerful stuff for a Q&A. Read the whole thing here.
Us? We're waiting on baited breath for Big Ben (aka Thomas Benjamin) to return safely from serving in Iraq so we can see these guys live. At that point, we'll give you the whole scoop on DSFZ.

From the Vaults: Rodriguez live at Whale Hall, Hartenbos, Mossel Bay, 17 September 2001
Posted on August 31, 2012 by Brian Currin — Leave a comment
Rodriguez and Brian Currin
What a wonderful evening! Rodriguez rocked the Whale Hall in Hartenbos and despite some comments to the contrary I think the new arrangements of his songs are stunning. The saxes really drive songs like 'Climb Up On My Music' and 'Only Good For Conversation' and that Rock and Roll medley ('Shake Rattle & Roll', Bob Dylan's 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' & 'Hound Dog') was pure energy from the band and Rodriguez.
I particularly enjoyed the long trippy interlude during 'Sugar Man' when Pete Saunders (ex-Dexy's Midnight Runners) played this real spacey, jazzy piano sound, a bit like Mike Garson used to do for David Bowie in the 70s.
The hall wasn't full, but the crowd were so enthusiastic, I kept looking back to check where all the cheering was coming from. Rodriguez spent a lot of time smiling and thanking the Big Town Playboys. And he thanked us in Afrikaans; "Baie Dankie", he said, "…for keeping me alive". And he came down to the front of the stage a few times to shake hands and he smiled broadly when a girl in the audience shouted: "Rodriguez I love you".

Rodriguez hasn't ever recorded any cover versions, and on his last SA tour in 1998 he played only his own music. But this time around he showed what a true legend he really is by making Midnight Oil's 'Redneck Wonderland' his own, then adding bits of 'The Letter' and 'Unchain My Heart' in the middle of it.
At the soundcheck in the afternoon they played 'Unchained Melody' as well but it didn't appear in the evening's performance.
A medley of Vanessa Williams 1992 hit 'Save The Best Till Last' and 'What The World Needs Now Is Love' (written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach and a hit for Jackie deShannon in 1965) was dedicated to the victims of last week's terrorist attacks… a very moving moment.
After the gig Rodriguez sat and signed autographs until everybody had gone home. A great night in the company of great musicians. Thanks for your time, Rodriguez.

Cyclones lose in double overtime
February 14, 2013 By Todd Kimm
More heartbreak on the road for Iowa State. Ioannis Papapetrou hit a three pointer to send the game to overtime and Texas won it in double overtime 89-86 in Austin.
Melvin Ejim says there was some miscommunication on the last play, and now they have to move on. Ejim had 20 points and a career high 16 rebounds for the Cyclones who once again failed to close out a big road win.
Tyrus McGee led ISU with 21 points as they fall to 6-5 in the Big 12. "I'm literally sick to my stomach, it hurts, we've had three of these now," coach Fred Hoiberg said. Hoiberg says it was a disappointed lockeroom after the game.
"It's hard, days like this are tough to handle," McGee says. Iowa State is 16-8 overall and hosts TCU on Saturday.

HomeFood & Drinks The Gurkha Thali: A Wholesome Meal Inspired From The Cuisines Of 3 Countries
Sikkim's cuisine is influenced from 3 different cultures and countries
The state has unique mouth watering dishes that you'll love
Gurkha thali includes everything that is completely organic
The cuisine of Sikkim is an amalgamation of influences from different countries and cultures including Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet. Yes, there more to Sikkim's food than momos and thupka!

People from Sikkim love dairy products as much as they love traditional meat dishes. Fermentation is a popular way of preserving and consuming local vegetables on a daily basis.

Fermentation is a popular way of preserving and consuming local vegetables on a daily basis.
What is Gurkha Thali?
Gurkha Thali is one the most popular dishes enjoyed in Sikkim. It is influenced by traditional Nepalese food and includes rice, dal, gundruk, kinema (fermented beans), churpi and ningro (wild edible fern) and papad. The combination of all these items is then served on a round platter and enjoyed as a wholesome, hearty dish. Gurkha Thali is enjoyed by locals even more during festivals like Durga Puja, Dasain and Diwali (known as Tihar in the local language). A full plate of steamed rice with fresh dal, including dishes like chicken curry, dundruk, kinema, ningro and churpi, papad, sel roti and a traditional beverage known as Tongba is served as part of the celebrations.
Nowadays, Gurkha Thali is generally consumed by locals only during particular festivals and not on a daily basis as it takes a lot of time to make the elaborate meal. However, tourists can enjoy the wholesome thali even during non-festival days as most restaurants in and around Gangtok serve the special Thali on most days. One of the top most restaurant famous for their Gurkha Thali is Thakali, in the heart of Gangtok.
A Gurkha Thali includes items like:
1. Gundruk
Gundruk is prepared by fermenting leafy pickled vegetables and is a popular dish in Nepal, parts of Tibet, Sikkim, Bhutan and Darjeeling. Gundruk can be enjoyed as a side dish even if it is not part of a thali. Leafy vegetables like radish and cauliflower are generally used to make gundruk.
In the month of October and November, during the harvest of the first mustard, radish and cauliflower leaves are plucked and allowed to wilt for one two days and are then shredded with a knife or sickle. These are then supposed to be mashed and mixed together, compressed and kept in an airtight container. After keeping it in a sunny place for a while, the acidity of the fermented veggies can be tasted or can be known by the smell of it. It is then dried in sunlight for making it more flavourful and acidic.

2. Kinema
Kinema is the fermented soyabean food popular in Nepal, Bhutan and Sikkim, India. The slimy, odorous product of fermentation is traditionally prepared into a soup that is consumed with rice. It is also served as a pungent side dish to accompany with breads as well.
The dish is prepared at home but is sold in local markets too. Often considered a healthy dish, as fermentation breaks down complex proteins into easily digestible amino acids, Kinema is very popular in Sikkim and is often used as a substitute to meat curries.

It is also served as a pungent side dish to accompany with bread.
3. Ningro
Scientifically known as Diplazium polypodiodes, Ningro is an alpine fiddlehead fern harvested for use as a vegetable. The fiddleheads are source of fatty acids, and are high in iron and fibre. Ningro also contains various vitamins and minerals. They are low in sodium but rich in potassium which make it suitable for people who need to follow a low sodium diet. These are mixed with churpi, prepared in local dairies or homes from buttermilk. The combination of these two items lends an authentic flavour to the dish and adds immense nutritional value to the whole meal.

4. Sel Roti
A Gurkha thali is incomplete without Sel Roti, which is a traditional homemade, sweet ring-shaped bread, mainly prepared during the widely celebrated festivals of Dussehera (Dasain) and Diwali (Tihar) in Nepal and Sikkim, India. The bread consists is made using a mixture of rice, flour, water, butter, cardamom and cloves. The mixture is semi liquid which is then deep fried in boiling oil or ghee.

A beverage that adds great value to the whole meal is an alcoholic drink named Tongba. Tongba is a millet-based beverage found in the eastern mountainous region of the country. Offering Tongba is a way of showing respect to guests for the people of Sikkim. The drink is also enjoyed during celebrations and festivals.
And finally, the non-veg addition to a Gurkha Thali is a non-veg curry made using either chicken or mutton. This curry is a standard curry that most foodies in North India would already be familiar with.
Sikkim was declared India's first '100 percent Organic State' in January, 2016. The entire state now does farming without the use of any synthetic or chemical fertilisers. This gives the local produce of Sikkim an edge, making all its locally available produce healthier and tastier.

Navigating the language-learning classroom without previous schooling
A case study of Li
John Hellermann | Portland State University, Literacy, Language, and Technology Research Group
Kathryn Harris | Portland State University, Literacy, Language, and Technology Research Group
Drawing on understandings of classrooms as communities of practice and using analytic methods including conversation analysis, this paper describes the path of English language learning taken by an adult immigrant to the U.S. ('Li') who had no previous experience with formal education. Although standardized assessment measures indicated that Li did not make progress in her language acquisition during the 18 months of data collection, analysis of intensive video recordings of teacher-student and student-student interactions show how Li moves from peripheral to fuller participation as a member of the community of classroom participants and the community of English language users. Findings suggest that 'participation' rather than 'acquisition' is a more appropriate metaphor for understanding language learning in this situation.

Smart parking startup Get My Parking acquires Constapark
Rashi Varshney
Smart parking startup Get My Parking has acquired Bangalore-based startup Constapark for an undisclosed amount. Post-acquisition, the Constapark founders and team will join the Bangalore office of Get My Parking.
This acquisition comes on the heels of Get My Parking's recent $3 Million Series A funding from investors including IAN Fund, BEENEXT and others. The company said in a statement that it has raised a total of $4.5 million capital so far.
Founded in 2015, Constapark provides lists verified parking spaces on its app, which users can book as a monthly subscription. It claims that it manages about 30,000 parking spots on its platform and parks 4000 vehicles on daily basis across Bangalore.
The Delhi and Bangalore headquartered Get My Parking provides IoT-based parking platform to digitize parking spaces. Its mobile app has a dashboard which provides view of all the parking lots in the city and allows users to search, and navigate to relevant parking, and make cashless payments. The startup has mobile apps for both, consumers as well as suppliers of a parking space, which provides real-time parking updates to both. Founded in 2015, it claims to process 2 million tickets per month. It has services at 300 locations in Delhi as of now and has provided services at events like IPL and the Kumbh Mela.
Company's CEO said that the acquisition will help the company in expanding its footprint both domestically and globally. Get My Parking currently has 2 projects outside India and is hiring across technology and business profiles for international growth. The company plans to be in 16 countries by next financial year.
Get My parking competes with the startups such as Pparke, ParkingRhino, and Parkingwale, which are too trying to solve the same problem. ParkingRhino, has been selected by the State Government of Karnataka as part of its 100 most innovative start-ups, which will get a funding support of about Rs 35 crore from the government. The startup was also one of the selected startup in Google's 4th Edition of Launchpad Accelerator Program. In early 2017, Bangalore-based PParkE raised an undisclosed amount in seed funding from Singapore-based early-stage investment firm SB Ventures.

Q: Module build failed: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory - React I am trying to implement pagination in my react application. This is the site I am following React Pagination Component. But I am getting the following error while application build.

./node_modules/babel-preset-react-app/node_modules/@babel/runtime/helpers/esm/assertThisInitialized.js
  Module build failed: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/siddharthsinha/WebstormProjects/tweelyze-ui/node_modules/babel-preset-react-app/node_modules/@babel/runtime/helpers/esm/assertThisInitialized.js'

As I am new to the react, I am unable to figure out what is wrong with my implementation. Here is the js file in which I have implemented pagination.

import React from 'react';
import NavigationBar from './NavigationBar';
import SearchPageResultsStyle from "../assets/css/SearchResultsPage.css"
import JwPagination from 'jw-react-pagination';
import Homepage from "./Homepage";
import SearchBarComponent from "./SearchBarComponent"
import MuiThemeProvider from "material-ui/styles/MuiThemeProvider";

class SearchResultsPage  extends React.Component{
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        console.log("Printing in the results component")
        console.log(this.props.location.state)
        this.state = {
            results: this.props.location.state.results,
            keyword: this.props.location.state.keyword,
            pageOfItems: []
        };
        this.onChangePage = this.onChangePage.bind(this);
    }

    onChangePage(pageOfItems) {
        // update local state with new page of items
        this.setState({pageOfItems});
    }
    render() {
        return(

                <NavigationBar/>

Showing search results for '{this.state.data.keyword}'

left column

Tweeter tweets text will be displayed here!!!

                        Tweet urls will be displayed here

topic: crime

city: delhi

lang: Hindi

Hashtags:

                            <JwPagination items={this.state.results} onChangePage={this.onChangePage}/>

right column

        )
    }

}

export default SearchResultsPage;

A: You should go into index.js file and import App from './App'; in this code you should change the ./App to currently used file path.

Illustrated here with a U.S. quarter for size comparison, this neat little period pewter whistle remains in pleasing condition with good evidence of pewter casting methods of the period with natural age patina that comes to this material with time. Difficult to find nowadays, Civil War site digger/historians have well documented examples of the period style and material. Will lay in well in any period personal grouping. (see: Excavated Artifacts from Battlefields & Campsites of the Civil War by Phillips) As with all direct sales, we are pleased to offer a no questions asked three day inspection with refund of the purchase price upon return as purchased!
