VTV.vn - Secretary General of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Lim Jock Hoi lauded efforts by the Vietnamese Government and businesses in developing cooperation between the ASEAN member countries, while addressing a seminar in Hanoi.
The seminar, jointly held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry, offers a chance for the ASEAN Secretariat and leaders to listen to initiatives and proposals aimed to help enterprises seize opportunities and study challenges, as well as coordination measures in the grouping, he said.
The official expressed his hope that negotiations of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement between the ASEAN and China, the Republic of Korea, Japan, India, Australia and New Zealand will be completed in 2019, towards the signing in 2020.
Connecting ASEAN leaders and businesses with partners will be the grouping's priority in 2020, he said, suggesting Vietnam prove its leading role as ASEAN Chair in the year.
Deputy Foreign Minister Nguyen Quoc Dung, who is also head of the ASEAN Senior Officials Meeting (SOM), said Vietnam's ASEAN Chairmanship in 2020 will enable the country to carry forward its role in initiatives and proposals in order to promote trade and economic ties in the bloc.
The seminar looks into bottlenecks facing the Vietnamese business community and measures to improve their competitiveness, thus integrating more deeply into regional economic integration, he said.

Gold Coast City Council have announced they will break ground this year on the $15million 'Central Park' project, transforming Robina City Parklands adjacent to Vue Terrace Homes into a city park which will rival those in our capital cities.

Robina City Parklands are already a charming public greenspace spanning a massive 17 hectares and this upgrade will transform the space into world-class parklands in an ideal location at the geographic heart of Gold Coast City.
The parklands will be a major drawcard for Robina and Gold Coast residents alike with Division 11 Councillor Hermann Vorster describing the parklands as the "crown jewels" of the central Gold Coast.

The lifestyle benefits on offer at Vue Terrace Homes are already immense and the Robina City Parkland upgrade will take it to the next level.
Residents of Divison 11 received the welcome news about the Robina City Parkland upgrade in the Local Area Works Budget for 2018-2019 announced by Councillor Hermann Vorster this week.
Locals can expect plenty of green spaces with fields, walking tracks, picturesque wetlands and fishing platforms allowing visitors to kayak all the way to Mudgeeraba Creek.
Additionally the park will contain an exciting and challenging playground for children with plenty of space to play various sports.
Vue Terrace homes, which is currently under construction, occupies an enviable site right next to the parklands, three bedroom terrace homes start from $599,000 and are being developed by award-winning master developer Robina Group.

Journey Home – Excerpt
5 July 1810, Fort Lafayette, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
They departed Fort Lafayette an hour after sunrise. The fort's men and ladies, and much of Pittsburgh, were there to see them off. Sukey was disappointed that Joe had not been part of the escort, but the honor had gone to a different company of Rangers. Dolley thanked the Scotts for their hospitality, hugged her many friends, and tearfully entered the carriage. Surrounded by Rangers from Company C, Major Tully in the lead and Major Brown riding alongside, the carriage rolled through the gate and to the east, along the Forbe's Road.
Sukey leaned out the window, waving and yelling goodbyes until the fort was out of sight, then plopped onto her seat and beamed at Dolley. "Would you like to see Joe's farewell present?"
Dolley nodded, her gaze flitting to Sukey's neck, wrists and fingers, looking for jewelry. Grinning, Sukey produced—from somewhere!—an enormous Ranger knife and handed it to Dolley.
"It's the one you awarded him for winning the dismounted competition."
"Where do you keep it?"
Sukey made the knife disappear, and then caused it to reappear, and showed Dolley how it was strapped to her right thigh, and the subtle slit in her dress which allowed quick access. Sukey fumbled about under her dress and handed Dolley a lightweight belt and strap ensemble. "We've been working on this for weeks. Joe says a woman should never go about unarmed."
Dolley was intrigued, and instantly thought of her father's knife. "Is it comfortable to wear?"
"Yes, even when I run. The first version had a strap around my upper thigh that made my leg tingle. This one has a waist belt to take the weight. I think I can hang the pistol on the other side."
Dolley grinned. "And we can sew in a few of the survival tools Sam insisted we carry."
"Good idea. What were you chuckling about in your sleep this morning, just before you awoke?"
"I was reliving the attack on the journey out."
"What was funny about that?"
"I let you scalp that man."
"I don't know how. Joe wouldn't teach me."
"I know, you made a real mess of it and got blood all over your dress."
The carriage slowed, then clattered to a halt.
Major Brown peered in the window. "This is the place, Madam. You sure?"
One last demon to exorcise. "Yes."
The carriage sat just past the location of the brigand's ambush. The Ranger escort had secured the perimeter well outside the ambush site, and had dismounted, resting their horses. Dolley took a deep breath and left the carriage, followed by Sukey. The girl was wearing her weapons belt, silly given the security provided by the Rangers, then Dolley realized that she also wore her weapons.
She recognized the place immediately, and was surprised at how small it seemed. The carriage sat there. Major Brown was on the ground there. The thieves stood there and there, and I was standing about there when I shot the leader. Sukey tackled Sam Murdoch there. She walked to where the carriage had been, then retraced her steps, visualizing the events of that day while Sukey and Major Brown stood to the side, watching.
"I don't understand, Steven. I thought I'd feel fear as I recalled these events."
Brown smiled. "What comes to mind?"
Dolley thought about it. "How I'd do it differently."
"Yes!" Sukey said. "I'd use the first man's blunderbuss to gut-shoot the second man when he opened the door, then snatch his musket and take up a firing position in the woods."
Dolley nodded. "I'd exit the opposite door, use the rear of the carriage for cover and shoot Murdoch in the head while he and Jeb gawked at you running into the trees."
"Then we catch Jeb in a crossfire, shoot low to keep him alive. Make him tell us where his loot's buried!" Sukey screamed the Cherokee war cry, face and arms to the sky, Joe's huge knife grasped in her tiny fist.
Dolley fought the urge to scream along with Sukey, but most of the Rangers joined the girl, and the forest echoed with their voices.
Major Brown watched Mrs. Madison and Sukey as they stood beside the graves of the slain brigands, heads bowed in prayer. The events of the past two months had not transformed them into something new, but had added a new dimension to their lives. A large piece of their personal destiny had been removed from the box labeled "uncontrollable circumstances" and been placed squarely in their hands, subject to their decision, not the decision of others. The effect on Sukey was more profound, since the young girl was still developing her sense of identity. He could only imagine what she would be like as an adult. No wonder Sergeant Killian was attracted to her. He was a professional soldier, and now, essentially, so was she.
He leaned against a tree to take the weight off his still-mending leg and continued to scan the forest for threats. After a few minutes the women said 'amen', embraced, and turned toward him.
"Praying for their souls?" he asked.
Mrs. Madison shook her head. "No. Their souls are what they made them to be through a lifetime of bad decisions. God's justice began the moment they died, and will continue for all eternity. Everyone talks about God's love, but without a clear understanding of God's justice, the judge might rule with excessive leniency in court and the soldier might hesitate in battle. Both situations can result in disaster. Sukey and I now understand its importance, and were praying for strength."
"Still bothered by nightmares?"
"Then why . . . ?"
Her blue eyes glittered with a cold fire. "We are believers in Jesus Christ, Lord of Armies, and as such are soldiers in a much greater conflict. Sometimes that conflict touches this world, as it did here."
Sukey took her hand, then looked up at him, her eyes serious and intense.
Mrs. Madison continued. "In grace, God gave us the skills we needed to pass that test, though we didn't know until afterwards. Since then, in grace He worked through you and others to provide us additional skills, physical and spiritual. Evil will come again. Next time it will be stronger. We must be prepared!"

Smaller publishers with more flexibility than the giants, but more resources than an individual author.
Last week we looked at the "Big 5" publishers and talked about how to publish with them. Now, let's look at some of the smaller publishing companies, and compare that to the traditional publishing model.
What is a small press?
A small press is a smaller publishing house. They publish books, but don't publish as many as the large publishers, and (since they're smaller) don't make as much money. It's sort of like comparing a local restaurant to a chain. The food may be fantastic, but with just one location, there's no way that restaurant can compare in earnings to Applebees.
Since they're smaller companies, small presses are more adaptable and flexible than the traditional publishers. However, they still do the production work of publishing your book.
So why should I go with a small press?
First of all, Authors 4 Authors Publishing is technically a small press (so I am a little biased here). What's great about us is how flexible we are. We've had authors design their own covers, write their own blurbs, and everything in between. Because we're a smaller group, it's a lot easier for us to compromise and involve the author in key decisions.
Some smaller presses (like us) don't work with agents. So remember that commission that came out of your earnings with the Big 5? You won't lose it with a small press that works directly with you. It also cuts down on the length of the query process, since you can query these publishers directly, instead of trying to get an agent first.
Some smaller presses offer higher royalties than the larger presses. This is mostly to entice authors like you to go with them instead of with a larger publisher. We can do this because our overhead is less than a larger company, so we don't need quite as much per sale to keep things running. We also don't have offices in expensive New York City (where the rent is too d___ high…).
The best advantage is that a small press is still a publisher—so those production costs like book covers, editing, proofreading, and so on are paid for by them, not you.
Which is great—a small press that knows their specific market REALLY REALLY well will know how to place, market, and ultimately sell your book. And while the Big 5 have imprints that specialize, these imprints are still part of the larger corporation, which limits their flexibility.
Another specialty is the type of book. Electronic presses, for example, are small presses that only do electronic distribution, such as ebooks and audiobooks. Since this market is growing and predicted to continue growing, these presses are reserving their resources for the most impactful market areas. While you won't realize your dream of seeing your novel grace the shelves of your local Barnes & Nobles, your book will be marketed to reach the hordes of readers on Kindle Unlimited, Audible, or Scribd.
I do technical writing as well, so for you non-programmer folks, agile is a rapid development cycle. And small presses are VERY agile. Since it's a smaller group, the bureaucracy that can slow things down with a large publisher just isn't there. It also means that a small press can adapt to market changes faster because they can implement new plans and try new things with greater ease than a large company. Want to do a flash mob promoting your book? A small press is more willing to try your idea and support you in that than a larger company.
This sounds PERFECT! Small presses, here I come!
Okay, not to rain on your parade...but as with all our publishing options, no choice is perfect. There are a few cons to small presses. Most of them make sense with what we've already discussed.
A small press just doesn't have the same resources at their disposal as the Big 5. This doesn't mean they won't spend as much on your book (trust me, even with having the resources, the Big 5 won't necessarily allocate them), but it does mean that small presses may not have the same influence and reach with distributors as the larger companies. However, they are still putting their resources on the line, so you don't have to.
The reason most small presses are small? Because they are a new business, and are still learning the trade. Even if they've been around for a couple of years, that's not the same as the decades of experience had at larger companies. So while the people may be great to work with, there may be some kinks that need ironing as they develop their process.
Now I'm confused—should I go with a small press or not?
As I've already said in Choosing Your Publishing Path, there isn't an easy answer. It's about what's right for you.
If you're an entrepreneur and want to be part of a start-up company (and all the excitement that goes with it), a small press would be great for you!
If you have a very specific idea or vision for your book, but don't want to self publish, a small press would be a good company for you.
If you prefer a more personal experience, and a smaller circle of people handling your work, a small press would be a great fit for you.
Join us next week when we talk about self-publishing.

Most scalp conditions are associated with similar symptoms, which make it very difficult to identify a particular condition just by taking a look at the affected hair and scalp.
Although an experienced dermatologist may be able to easily diagnose ringworms, the best approach involves scrapping the affected area with a blunt scalpel. The harvested hairs are subjected to microscopic viewing. The presence of spores is considered as positive diagnosis.
It is important to note that topical treatment by itself is not considered to be sufficient. However, any commercial shampoo that contains 0.02 parts of ketoconazole has been found to be very effective.
The shampoo should be used for a period of up to 8 weeks. Topical treatment has been very successful, especially in children.

Q: Print out cursor values I am modifying a stored procedure which is using a cursor, I want to be able to print out or output the values from the cursor that is inserting into a table but am having a hard time trying to figure out how to do this. I need to check all the values for example that get inserted in the orders table by this stored procedure.
I cant do
Print @prodId, @orderQuantity, @orderDate, @orderLocationId, @shipmentId,  @shipmentDate

How can I output/print all the values the cursor has in these columns for each record it goes through? An example with how to do this in code would be appreciated.

A: If using MS SQL Server then you could use RAISERROR. On this link ypu have a good explanation with samples on how to use them and differences between them. Check out RAISERROR sintaxis here

A: Try
     PRINT STR(@prodId) + STR(@orderQuantity) + STR(@orderDate) + STR(@orderLocationId) + STR(@shipmentId) + STR(@shipmentDate)

If that doesnt work then (for the non int variables) try
    CAST(@orderDate as NVARCHAR(MAX))

Also look at this article.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187928.aspx
Best of Luck

A: You can capture & store the inserted rows in the correct order by outputting them into a temp table with an identity;
create table #inserted(insertorder int identity(0,1), prodId int, orderQuantity int ... <matches inserted row>)

--cursor loop
    insert destination_table(prodId, orderQuantity, ...)
       output inserted.* into #inserted   /*output inserted.* will just select it */
    values @prodId, @orderQuantity ...
--end loop

--inserted rows;
select * from #inserted order by insertorder

A: When using PRINT, a simple trick instead of STR() which doesn't exist, or CONVERT(varchar(50), @orderQuantity)
Which is cumbersome, just use RTRIM(@orderQuantlty) for fast implicit conversion from numeric to string.

COVID19 Updates World
In India Covid cases per million are lowest in World , fatality rate declining : Health Ministry
September 9, 2020 September 9, 2020 3 min read Trisha Upadhyay
The health ministry says, India's Covid-19 cases per million is 3,102, which is among the lowest in the world.
While addressing a press conference on Tuesday, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan mentioned that the per million COVID-19 cases are 6 times less than Brazil and the US.
"The cases per million population stands at 3,527 for the world. It is 4,945 for Mexico, 7,063 for Russia, 19,549 for the US and 19,514 for Brazil. The number of COVID-19 cases per million population in the country stands at 3,102 and it is among the lowest in the world," He said.
He further said that the fatality rate is also declining continuously.
"Case fatality rate is continuously declining. It was at 2.15% in the first week of August, now it stands at 1.7%," He added.
"In India, 53 deaths per million population have been recorded. The number of deaths per million population is 500 to 600 in countries with which we are compared. Doctors, paramedics, hospital support staff have a great contribution in this," he added.
While talking about most affected states, he informed that Maharashtra, Andhra, Karnataka, UP, Tamil Nadu account for 70% of Covid-19 deaths in India.
He also said that there are 14 states and union territories that have less than 5,000 COVID cases. He mentioned that Lakshadeep has no active cases.
28 states/UTs have Covid-19 case fatality rate lower than national average of 1.7%, Bhushan said.
Mr. Bhushan said that the active and recovered cases are increasing.
"As of now, the number of active cases is 8,83,697 whereas the number of recovered cases is 33,23,950. The number of recovered patients is more than 33 lakh with the highest single-day recovery of 73,642 in the last 24 hours. Fourteen states and union territories have less than 5,000 COVID-19 cases."
He further added that tests per million are increasing.
"Tests per million population was 26,016 on August 24 and it is 36,703 now. More than 5 crore tests have been conducted so far. In the last week, more than 10 lakh tests were conducted daily. On September 3 and 4 we have tested over 11 lakh samples," he said.
"India's daily testing numbers are one of the highest in the world" Health ministry said.
"Such high levels of testing on a sustained basis over a period of time in widespread areas enables early diagnosis, and in turn facilitates seamless isolation and effective hospitalisation. This eventually leads to lower mortality rate."
"Higher numbers of testing also subsequently result in lowered positivity rate," the ministry said.
The average daily tests conducted (week wise) have been demonstrating a consistent increase. This has registered a 3.2 times expansion from the third week of July (3,26,971) to the first week of September (10,46,470).
However, On Tuesday itself India reported 247,096 new COVID-19 cases and 4,483 deaths.

8. FROST-WALLING
Lee Tree
DANIEL FROST and RUTH WALLING (8)
DANIEL FROST first appears in North Bovey at his marriage in 1709. He does not seem to have been born there. In the first decades of the 18th century his is the only Frost family recorded in the village. There is one other entry in the baptismal register before his grandchildren start to appear.
Baptism. North Bovey.
1738 Frost, Mary Nosworthy ill. d. o f Elizabeth Jul. 10
It is not clear who Elizabeth Frost is. The date is rather late for her to be Daniel's sister. The baby's father was almost certainly a member of the prominent Nosworthy family.
RUTH WALLING was also baptised in another parish. There were, however, numerous Wallings in North Bovey. In 1655, William Walling married Ruth Stevence. This is probably too early for these to be Ruth's parents, but she may be their grandchild. A burial is recorded in North Bovey in 1715 for Ruth Walling. This may be Ruth's grandmother, or possibly her mother, though Ruth could be a common name in the extended family.
Family connections may the reason why Ruth was living in North Bovey when she married Daniel Frost.
Both Daniel and Ruth have Old Testament names. This may reflect their forbears' Puritan sympathies in the religious divides of the 17th century.
Daniel Frost and Ruth Walling married in North Bovey in 1709.
1709 Frost, Daniel and Walling, Ruth Oct 4.
Seven children were born to them there.

Ruth outlived Daniel by nearly 20 years. She was buried in North Bovey on March 25, 1767.

This little hat came from making Nutcracker Costumes. Some of the girls will be dressed as Hot Chocolate Cups. Another parent is doing the crafting part (not as easy as it looked on Pinterest . . .isn't that the story of life, lol?). I agreed to sew the brown "hot chocolate" fabric toppers.
I made the two tops out of a waffle textured shower curtain in a rich medium brown. I wasn't sure if someone else was making hats for them, and I wanted to make something quick and easy. I rolled around the idea of big marshmallows in my head, but, before I got too far, my eyes fell upon the hat crown left from the hat I made for Fairytale "Folk" Outfit with No-Pattern Peasant Shirt (v.2).
The cut edge did want to pull apart, so I ran a line of zig-zag along it. It is difficult to see since it is black thread which blends into the brown hat (great for the costume, not so good for pictures).
I wanted it to have a marshmallow/hot chocolate feel, so I decided to trim it with some white sparkle tulle and some clear string sequins.
It is easy to sew these both on in one step. To begin, fold a 6″ wide strip of tulle in half. Center some string sequins on top and zig-zag a little bit to secure them. Then, making sure your needle is down, lift the presser foot and squish some of the tulle against the needle.
Lower the presser foot and sew. Continue squish gathering as you go. Typically you don't need to continue raising the presser foot other than to get started.
Continue around the hat . .and you are done.
This was super, super easy. This hat had a little "give", it had a curve, it needed absolutely no shaping, and it was easy to sew through. I think with some different emblellishments this could turn into a pretty sweet little 1940's style tilt hat or fascinator.
This project was basically free since the hat was a leftover, and I only used a little bit of trim. It took me about 15-20″ to make both hats. The original hat was around $2.


The number of meth cases has increased dramatically in both Kentucky state court and the Kentucky federal courts. If you or a loved one are facing criminal charges then contact J. Clark Baird, an Eastern Kentucky Methamphetamine Defense Lawyer today!
While state penalties for drug charges such as distribution, trafficking and manufacturing are severe, federal penalties surpass even those of the stricter states. The Drug Enforcement Agency aggressively pursues those it believes to be high-level drug players, and can quickly bring your business and your life to a halt if they target you. Therefore, it is wise to contact an experienced Eastern Kentucky Methamphetamine Defense Lawyer at J. Clark Baird PLLC at the first sign you have been singled out by the DEA or U.S. Attorney's Office.
While drug charges are serious, federal drug charges are in a class by themselves.

In some cases, circumstantial evidence may be enough. To commit a federal drug conspiracy, you must knowingly or intentionally manufacture, create, or distribute controlled substances. It is also illegal to possess these substances with the intent to manufacture or distribute. Federal drug conspiracy cases can become complicated, as charges may greatly vary. Depending on the quantity of drugs found and who else is involved, you could be facing fines and years in prison. At J. Clark Baird PLLC, our Eastern Kentucky Methamphetamine Defense Lawyer is experienced and has skills necessary to take on your case. Clark has over a decade of experience specifically in federal criminal defense and has the ability to take on your federal drug case. Our office will investigate the charges to find who was involved and fight for an outcome you are personally satisfied with.
Purity Levels In Meth Cases Can Effect Federal Sentencing!!!
If your criminal defense attorney doesn't understand federal criminal defense work then they probably don't know how the purity levels of meth can effect a sentencing!!! Unlike other street drugs, the purity levels (the percentage of pure drug in a sample) of methamphetamine directly effects federal criminal sentences!!
Distribution/trafficking of 50 grams up to 499 grams of a mixture of methamphetamine (in other words, not a high level of purity) carries a 5 year mandatory minimum.
Distribution/trafficking of 500 grams or more of a mixture of methamphetamine carries a 10 year mandatory minimum.
Distribution/trafficking of 5 g up to 49 grams of pure methamphetamine carries a 5 year mandatory minimum!
Distribution/trafficking of 50 grams or more of pure methamphetamine carries a 10 year mandatory minimum!
Sometimes the statutory language referring to a mixture of methamphetamine will refer to it as "a substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine".
The courts have used the following language to define pure meth (a.k.a. ice): "ice" is a term of art which means a methamphetamine purity of 80 percent or more.
Now imagine that a person can be sent to prison for 5 years on a first-offense for selling 5 grams of ice!!!
And remember the sentences we have referenced here do not apply in situations where the defendant has 1 or more prior felony drug convictions or is caught with a handgun and drugs!!!!!! For 1 prior felony drug conviction, a single 851 sentencing enhancements increase 5 year mandatory minimums to 10 years and 10 year mandatory up to 20 years! If you have 2 prior felony drug convictions, you can receive a mandatory life sentence!!!!
An important weapon in the arsenal of any defense attorney is the ability to identify a breach of the defendant's constitutional rights and suppress evidence damaging to the accused. Many cases begin with an arrest that follows a traffic stop or a search of property. If the evidence in your case was obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment, it may be possible to prevent that evidence from being used against you at trial and may even result in a dismissal of the case. The police may have been reckless or sloppy with their procedures. They may have made mistakes in securing a warrant or in conducting the search. Likewise, if you made a statement to police or gave an interview, your Fifth or Sixth Amendment rights to counsel may have been violated. A careful, diligent and thorough Eastern Kentucky Methamphetamine Defense Lawyer find those defects and make them work to your advantage. Contact J. Clark Baird PLLC if need just such an attorney to defend you.
One of the pitfalls in federal drug charges is the possible seizure of your property by law enforcement during the investigation of your case. As the laws allow them to seize property that may have been obtained through money from the illegal sale, distribution or trafficking in drugs, you may lose your assets unless a strong defense is brought to bear. In order to safeguard your rights, consulting with J. Clark Baird PLLC is crucial for your future and your freedom. A capable Eastern Kentucky Methamphetamine Defense Lawyer is critical in any such case to fight drug charges.

You are here: Home / Julius Caesar / Bluff Your Way Through the Play: Julius Caesar
August 29, 2017 By Jeff Fickes
Bluff Your Way Through the Play: Julius Caesar
The most Roman of Shakespeare's Roman plays, Julius Caesar is a ghost story, a murder mystery, and a political thriller all wrapped up in a taut package of 16 scenes. Studying the play in school is different than seeing it live. We've dug up some juicy morsels about the play that you may not have learned in the classroom.
Name Your Price?
While sailing, Caesar's ship was hijacked by pirates off the southwestern coast of Asia Minor. When his captors named a ransom price for his release, Caesar was insulted by the number. He insisted that a greater sum be demanded. Eventually, the higher figure was raised and Caesar was freed.
A Steamy, Dreamy Failure
The first Broadway production of the show in over fifty years starred Denzel Washington as Brutus. The critics gave it generally poor reviews, but the show was a sell-out because of Washington's popularity.
Roman Time Tripping
Shakespeare wasn't such a stickler for historical accuracy. Clocks get mentioned in Julius Caesar even though the characters are from 45 B.C.
Art Imitates Life
At the time Shakespeare wrote Julius Caesar, citizens of England were likely to mark the parallel connection of Rome's transition from a republic to an empire within the play to the Elizabethan era's transition toward heavily consolidated monarchical powers.
First at The Globe, Now Around the Globe!
Scholars believe that The Tragedy of Julius Caesar was the first play performed in the Globe Theater, which was built solely to accommodate Shakespeare's ever-increasing success in the theatre industry.
If you watch closely, this play is loaded with foreshadowing and omens as they pertain to Caesar's life and even reveal his fate, though you have probably already guessed what that might be!
The Rite to be Naked
Julius Caesar starts with a celebration feast called Lupercalia. This ancient annual Roman festival was observed on February 15. In order to ward off evil spirits and purify the city, citizens made animal sacrifices and ran nearly naked through the streets with the hope of encouraging health and fertility.
Talk About Drama!
The infamous John Wilkes Booth, assassin of Abraham Lincoln, performed in a production of Julius Caesar in 1864 in New York City. He played the role of Mark Antony. Some scholars speculate that Booth's role in the show played a part in motivating Lincoln's assassination as Booth may have identified with Brutus.
Rebel Blood
Brutus claimed ancestry from another famous figure in Rome's political history? According to legend Lucius Junius Brutus, the commander of the king's bodyguards, led a revolt that exiled Rome's last tyrannical monarch and helped found the Republic. Cassius reminds Brutus of this legacy in Act 1, scene 2.
Nelson Mandela survived his imprisonment with the help a secret copy of Shakespeare's works. Known as the Robben Island bible, it passed from inmate to inmate. Mandela signed his name in the book next to a passage from Julius Caesar: "Cowards die many times before their deaths/The valiant never taste of death but once."

"You are not my author. You can't write my story" Kaffy tells critics following her divorce announcement
Kaffy has reacted to criticisms she has received after announcing that her marriage to Joseph Ameh is over. The couple got married in 2012 and their union was blessed with 2 children. Kaffy has now announced that she is divorced but it's amicable and she wishes the best for her ex-husband. Reacting, an Instagram user told her that by getting divorced, she has taught millions of youths that look up to her that "divorce is a thing to do". The Instagram user added: "You just showed us the wrong way, you just made kids that will grow with the stigma of divorce and the tails will show in time, you just chose the woke world way… "You just joined the bandwagon to promote the destruction of the first ministry God made on earth." Responding, Kaffyi told the Instagram user that he is not her "author". "You can't write my story to fit your narrative," the professional dancer added. In a follow-up comment, the Instagram user told Kaffy and those disagreeing with his comment, that God can heal anything and it is "better to die doing the will of God than to live and do ours". The post "You are not my author. You can't write my story" Kaffy tells critics following her divorce announcement appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Freshman congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just got some devastating news from her own constituents.
According to a Hill-HarrisX poll released Friday, the Democrat party isn't a huge fan of Ocasio-Cortez's antics.
Not only are many voters ambivalent towards the New York Congresswoman, but thirty-five percent of the respondents said that she is actually bad for the party.
Forty percent said that they haven't decided whether they approve of her or not. Ocasio-Cortez has been thriving off of the media attention, but apparently, her party isn't so happy about the coverage.
Independent voters also brought bad news for the 29-year old representative. Seventy-two percent of independent voters with an opinion on Ocasio-Cortez said that she is bad for Democrats.
Ocasio-Cortez is quickly making a name for herself with bombastic opinions and twitter exchanges. As voters become more aware of her, many are becoming concerned about her sometimes outlandish policy opinions and the impact they have on the Democrat party.

Q: How do you treat handles in C++/CLI? I know I'm not asking this quite right, either.  Please help me better form my question.
I'm having a bit of a hard time getting my mind wrapped around handles -- in some ways, it looks like pointers.   But unlike pointers, it seems like I can assign values directly to the handle variable, and it affects the underlying data value, not the handle itself.
The test code clearly shows that I get the same value whether I use the handle, or if I "dereference" the handle to get to the data.  Clearly, this wouldn't work with unmanaged pointers.  What am I not understanding?
#include <iostream>

int main()
{

  int ^y;
  int ^a, ^b, ^c;
  long x;

   y= gcnew int(100);
   a=y;
   b=y;
   c=y;

   c= gcnew int(200);
   b= 300;

   System::Console::WriteLine(y); // returns 100 (instead of something pointer-like)
   System::Console::WriteLine(*y); // also returns 100

   System::Console::WriteLine(a); // 100
   System::Console::WriteLine(b); // 300
   System::Console::WriteLine(c); // 200

   x = static_cast<long>(y);
   *y = 10;

   System::Console::WriteLine(x); // 10
   System::Console::WriteLine(y); // 10
   System::Console::WriteLine(*y); // 10

  }

Edit to add -- I suspected that WirteLine might have done the dereferencing for me, but I would have expected the static cast to long would not.  Is this related to autounboxing as welll?

A: It's a bit sad that C++/CLI allows this syntax.  The int type is a value type, the hat is used for reference types. Your "y" variable does not store an int, it stores System::Object.  The compiler automatically generates a boxing instruction when you assign it.  Console::WriteLine() has otherwise no problem displaying the value of an object that's a boxed int.
The rule of thumb: use the hat when it is a class object, omit it for simple value types.  Avoid the stack semantics of a reference type (omitting the hat so it automatically calls the destructor when the scope ends) until you really grok the difference between value and reference types and why Dispose() is important.

A: Side effect of using WriteLine.
just 'y' is being treated like an 'object reference' and probably being interrogated for IFormattable, and then having ToString() called on it.  '*y' is passing an int.
To test this, make another function call Foo(int ^) and see what you are allowed to pass in, and then change it to 'Foo(int)'.
I think you are just getting fooled by the 'varargs' nature of WriteLine.

A: Don't rely on WriteLine to tell you what *y and y are, run it from the debugger and inspect *y and y yourself to see the difference.

A: Think of handles to value types as being like a smart handle you might have written yourself, which has operator overloading for conversions. That way, using the handle where you can supply an int would work (via the conversion operator) as well as dereferencing the handle to get the int contained in the object.
With regards to Writeline, I think of it as being like the stream output operators where many conversions are implicitly invoked. Just as you might safely go cout << y, you can write System::Console::WriteLine(y).


This $31.00 "fidget spinner" tested positive for lead at 42,800 ppm! It also tested positive with a LeadCheck swab (meaning the lead can easily rub off on the fingers of the user.) The hazard level for lead in an item intended for children is 90 ppm lead. The video below shows 6 fidgets and spinners I tested this afternoon. Click here to see the OTHER leaded fidget spinner I tested today. Below the video there are some additional images of this high-lead spinner as well, including a screenshot from the website selling them for $31 a pop! Thanks for following!
If you appreciate my independent advocacy work, please consider contributing to my GoFundMe: GoFundMe.com/LeadSafeMama. Thank you!
being a machinist and an autistic/adhd person who has a giant box full of fidgets (including a spinner), I just had to look up to see if there is something they're doing to the manufacturing process of brass to make it high in lead.
You are amazing! Thank you for looking that up!
Would cleaning with a solvent do any good?
As the other reply said, no you can't remove lead from brass by cleaning it with a solvent. You can't 'clean' lead out of brass by any method. Studies on brass keys (most keys are brass or chrome plated brass) reveal that even when a key is old and worn, there is still a high availability of lead on the worn surface. I try to avoid all brass items. Certainly kids and brass should not mingle.
They're probably made of 360 yellow brass, which is a leaded brass. It would be used because it's super cheap and very machinable. If they were made of silicon bronze, or manganese bronze if they wanted to keep the color, there would be no problems st all, as it has no lead.
That being said, I machine leaded brass and bronze every day, and have for 10 years. As well as melted and cast it, I have never tested positive for high lead levels.
What about the glow in the dark spinners? Any testing on those?
The title is very misleading considering most of the spinners tested were negative? it would seem the majority are negative.
Any recommendations for people desiring to buy and/or sell fidget spinners without lead?
And are your results in writing? While I would want to avoid FS's with lead, I'd rather not forsake this as a means of potential income if the overwhelming results tend towards a limited number being tainted.
I appreciate so much all of your efforts and information! My children each have 2 and to be safe, we are are all in agreement that they be discarded. Now…. I like to work in the solution, and we want lead free ones! Any suggestions as to where to find them? Thank you!
That's why I am doing a bunch of testing later in the month so I can try to find some good recommendations! Were the ones you got rid of metal? Yellow brass colored?
please give link to fidget spinners without lead, thank you.
