Perrie Edwards solo music world exclusive: Star talks Kamille and Fred again.. studio sessions, Little Mix bandmates' projects and more
As she makes her solo debut at Attitude magazine's Attitude Awards, Perrie gives OfficialCharts.com an insight into her solo music
By Carl Smith
At the time of writing, we're 151 days or 21 weeks into Little Mix's hiatus (if you know, you know). In that time, Leigh-Anne Pinnock's been keeping fans updated through her newsletters, Jade Thirlwall's been living her best life with Janet Jackson and Perrie Edwards has been...keeping a fairly low public profile.
Until now.
Yep, tonight Perrie made her proper solo red carpet debut at Attitude Magazine's Attitude Awards. As well as posing up a right storm in her Prada, Perrie also kindly took some time out to chat to Official Charts about her brand-new solo music. What a dream.
When we told Perrie we are, indeed, 151 days strong into the girls' hiatus, she told OfficialCharts.com: "Are you counting? So am I. It's sad, it's real sad."

As we said we've been promised her music will 'blow everyone's minds' by songwriter pal Kamille, Perrie added: "I saw that! That's Kam, she's always got my back. She's like my sister, of course she's going to say that.
"It's all going really well, I'm just having so much fun experimenting with different sounds. It's just really good."
On working with the likes of Kamille, the legendary Steve Mac and producer of the moment Fred again.., Perrie told OfficialCharts.com: "I'm so lucky, I'm working with such amazing people. I'm really grateful."
Now, eagle-eyed Perrie fans will have noticed she teased a pop-punk sound from recent studio sessions on her socials. Can we expect an Olivia Rodrigo vibe from her solo music?
"Well she's incredible, so great reference," she said. "But yeah, it's just music that I love to make. I just want to make music that I love."
With our time up, we couldn't help but asked if she's had a sneaky listen to any of Jade or Leigh-Anne's solo music so far.
"Maybe I have..." she teased.
We'll take that as a big fat yes, Pez.
Our Perrie interview video coming to Official Charts' socials *very* soon. Make sure you're following us and keep an eye out...
This all comes after genius songwriter and all-round delight Kamille recently told us Perrie's music will 'blow everyone's minds.'
On the outcome of their studio sessions together, Kamille told OfficialCharts.com: "There's so many things that [Little Mix are] interested in, I couldn't pinpoint it to one [sound].
"The best thing right now is that we're having fun discovering. Hearing their voices on stuff you wouldn't typically hear it on is just sending me. It's so, so exciting for me. Can you imagine, as someone who's used to just one thing with them? I couldn't even pinpoint it, but just know it's going to blow everyone's minds."
WATCH: Kamille teases Perrie Edwards' solo music with Fred again.. and Steve Mac
On Perrie being the incredible vocalist that she is, Kamille added: "Perrie will get in the booth and she'll be so worried and insecure. Even when I was with her the other week with Steve Mac, she got into the booth and was like 'I don't know if I can do it.'
"I looked at her and I was like 'are you actually serious? Your voice is one of the best voices I've ever heard, hands down.' She's incredible. She doesn't even know how good she is, and that's one of the most beautiful things about Perrie; she's so humble. It's been so exciting to be making music with her. I can't wait for you guys to hear it all done.
"As you know, there's so much more to come from her."
Pez, babes, we cannot wait.

Millsaps College Announces Theatre Partnership with Arts Center of Mississippi
by Web on December 3, 2018
Millsaps College Theatre will be the Theatre Company in Residence at the Arts Center of Mississippi in downtown Jackson.
The announcement came during a Nov. 29 press conference about interior renovations planned for the Center at 201 E. Pascagoula St. Millsaps will partner with the Greater Jackson Arts Council, which is the official arts agency for the city of Jackson and Hinds County.
Space in the Arts Center will be available for Millsaps theatre classes, rehearsals, productions, and more.
"This new partnership is in direct alignment with the mission and strategic plan for Millsaps College, and reinforces the value of our location in Jackson," said Dr. Robert W. Pearigen, president of Millsaps. "With the Arts Center just two miles from our campus, our students will have new opportunities to engage, experience, learn, and contribute to the broader community."
Peter Friedrich, assistant professor of theatre at Millsaps, echoed Pearigen's comments.
"We cannot wait to see the changes to come with our students using the Arts Center," he said. "Experiential learning and community engagement present challenges where no book can prepare you and no expert can advise you. It is about becoming your own expert. That's the thrill of it, and why it can change your life."
The partnership with the Arts Center will give Millsaps students the opportunity to explore different venues and create new spaces for theatre. Spencer Ellswood, a Millsaps senior and an integral part of the Millsaps theatre program as a set designer and builder, looks forward to working downtown.
"It's exciting to see such influential people come together to create culture in the heart of Jackson," said Ellswood. "The opportunities here are not only for Jackson and the Arts Center but also for the students at Millsaps. With theatre's new connection with the Center, the students as well as the community will grow together."
The Community Foundation of Mississippi is providing a $250,000 grant from the John F. and Lucy Shackelford Charitable Fund as launch money for Phase 1 renovations that include enhancements to all public spaces in the facility, including a Shackelford Permanent Collection Gallery and a Shackelford Community Room.
Renovations for an all-access theatre are scheduled as part of Phase 2, although the Theatre Department will begin using the existing space beginning early next year.

2012 Toyota Camry - Satisfied.
My Toyota Camry is pretty reliable. I been driving it for 5 years no major issues. I like the seating space and trunk space of the car. One of the thing I hated on my car is the car seat. The color of the seat is white cloth not leather. It gets dirty quickly. Biggest regret is I should had got the higher trim version of the vehicle that has leather seat.
My memorable story on this car is visiting with dog park with my dog. I can always remember how excited he was whenever we are close by the dog park.
Good gas mileage. Plenty of Space. Reliability.
Interior design is ugly. Seats gets dirty quickly.
2007 Toyota Camry - Great car.
The 2007 Camry is a great car. It is the family car you need. I like how big it is. I like the gas mileage. I like how big the trunk is. It has a nice design.
One time I was driving and three birds pooped on my front window at the same time.
Has great gas mileage. Reliable.
The ABS module goes wonky and need to be fixed.
Where is the cheapest place to buy a Toyota Camry in San Francisco, CA?
It was an enjoyable experience at this dealership. These guys definitely standout with their great customer service. They have made the whole process hassle free for a first time buyer as me and also took time to sign me up for an appropriate auto insurance. The price was negotiable. Great first time car buying experience. Cannot get better!
This dealership is great because the salespeople there are accommodating of your preference and needs without being pushy about selling you cars that you are not interested in.
This dealership was great because it had such a large variety and many different types of vehicles to choose from. The staff were also very helpful.
The prices were reasonable compared to other dealers, I'm also familiar with one of the dealers.
Friendly, informative, fair, I would recommend this dealer to a friend. We love our car.

The White House counterterrorism adviser is so misguided in so many ways that some are reluctant to acknowledge when he has a point.
Since the inauguration of Donald Trump, the counterterrorism community has united in a cathartic, hundred-day communal hatefest against his chief counterterrorism adviser, Sebastian L. Gorka, Ph.D. It felt good. Gorka, a former Breitbart national security editor, is a remarkably friendless man among experts on terrorism and jihadism. I know no one in the field who considers him an authority on anything whatsoever, and until his appointment in January, most paid him the ultimate insult by not even bothering to ridicule his appearances on Fox News.
One does not relinquish such a job lightly. (The New York Times has since reported that Gorka's departure is "likely" in the coming weeks, citing two senior administration officials, though as of this writing there has been no public confirmation.) But Gorka's past has not weathered the scrutiny of executive office well. He had a lingering criminal charge, since dismissed, for bringing a 9mm pistol to a TSA checkpoint at Washington Reagan National Airport. Another terrorism analyst, Michael S. Smith II, taped him making strange legal threats after Smith tweeted about him. His credentials tended to look less, not more impressive under examination. He speaks no Arabic. He stresses his military service, which lasted just a few years as a reservist, in an army intelligence unit in the United Kingdom with little or no connection to terrorism. He claims to have occupied the "Major General Matthew C. Horner Distinguished Chair of Military Theory at Marine Corps University," when in fact he worked for the Marine Corps University Foundation, a private entity that sends lecturers to the Marine Corps University nearby. Scholars sniffed that his Ph.D., granted by Corvinus University in his ancestral nation of Hungary, didn't meet basic standards of rigor.
Then came the small issue of the peculiar medal he liked to wear at formal occasions. Journalists traced it to a Nazi-linked Order of Vitéz, an oath-swearing fraternity of Hungarian nationalists. Gorka has spent the last two months fending off charges of associating with Nazis. It did not help that his mother, Susan Gorka, had once worked for the Holocaust denier David Irving. The younger Gorka denied membership in the Order and said he wore the medal to honor his father Paul, who suffered under the communists. This explanation did not satisfy those of us who would, upon learning that we were wearing a Nazi-looking decoration at a party, be mortified, and excuse ourselves immediately to dig a hole and throw the thing into it.
Such problems are unusual even for a Trump appointee, and they provided so much schadenfreude for Gorka's haters that we have heard almost nothing about the merits of the man's actual writings and beliefs. The New York Times story about his likely departure from the White House was typically glib: Gorka, it said, "has said violence is a fundamental part of Islam and emanates from the language of the Quran. He rejects scholars' assessment that Islamic militancy is an outgrowth of poverty, poor governance and war." This tone of certainty is a pity, because these issues are not settled, and when Gorka is gone (perhaps shifted to some other federal agency, as the Examiner says), the worst of his ideas may linger. When advanced by someone without a fetish for unearned titles and fascist memorabilia, they will be harder to combat.
Gorka's 2016 book Defeating Jihad: The Winnable War served as a template for Trump's confrontation with "radical Islam" (a phrase whose use Gorka encouraged). It is a strange book. The first 40 pages barely mention Islam or jihad at all, and instead focus on Gorka's father's persecution in Hungary. A very large appendix reproduces in mimeograph the "Long Telegram" by George Kennan, whose grand strategic thinking Gorka wishes to emulate.
Defeating Jihad feels shorter than its 256 pages—not because of its crisp or thrilling writing, but because many sections feel like rewrites of Wikipedia entries, with only the most basic facts about Islamic history and jihadist groups of yore. These sections are the prose equivalent of a Happy Meal, familiar and predictable and minimally nourishing. They are easy to read because they make few claims, other than to reproduce a potted history of a random selection of Islamist groups.
The toy inside this box of processed history—the reason Gorka wrote it in the first place—is a simple pair of claims. The first is that Islam—a single, unified political ideology—is behind jihadism, and that "poverty and lack of education" are not causes of terrorism. The second is that confronting it requires a grand unified front, fortified and resolute, akin to the full-court press that defeated global communism in the 20th century, with his own father playing a small but noble part.
I dare to say that Gorka, even with a bogus Ph.D. and a quasi-Nazi medal, is not entirely wrong—and because of his Trump associations, his bombast, and his overwhelming preponderance of misguided thinking, some are reluctant to acknowledge when he has a point.
Consider his emphasis on religion. To associate jihadist terrorism with Islam, say his detractors, is to aid and comfort bigots, and to make the case for Trump's travel ban targeting mainly Muslims, which Gorka has indeed defended. Gorka goes further than merely associating Islam with terrorism; he suggests that terrorism flows inevitably from faithful practice of it. (It is not crazy to suggest that Koranic verses urging violence are indeed urging violence; it does not follow, though, that violence is the only reading of those verses.) But his more limited claim—that religion matters for ISIS and other jihadist groups—is right, as any serious student of the subject will affirm.
were so heavily mediated by religious discourse it seems implausible to suggest that religiosity (i.e., a sincere religious commitment, no matter how ill-informed or unorthodox) is not a primary motivator for their actions. Religion provides the dominant frame these foreign fighters use to interpret almost every aspect of their lives, and this reality should be given due interpretive weight.
The authors differ from Gorka in almost every way. They are methodical, critical of their sources, and sophisticated in their approach to the religious claims. But they are part of the same heresy against liberal dogma, in their suggestion that religion cannot be ignored.
Why then am I confident that despite this improbable harmony, Gorka and Atran did not leave the Al Jazeera studio as chums, retiring to the nearest tavern to chuckle at their former enmity? To put it simply: The problem with Gorka isn't what he says, but a suspicion that he operates in bad faith. "It's not really the content," says one scholar of jihadism who disagrees with Gorka. "It's the tone, the bluster, the myopia. When I see him and he opens his mouth, I expect to hear the worst"—including blatant bigotry against Muslims. Just as apologists see nothing bad about Islam, Gorka cannot see anything good about it. Both refuse to imagine that it is like other religions, with potential for good and evil (even if every religion also has aspects specific to itself).
Gorka may want to emulate Kennan, but the analogy with communism doesn't hold. Grand strategy rarely takes the form of a find-and-replace operation: Swapping all instances of "communism" for "jihad" will not get us far. There is no jihadist Soviet Union, for one thing; for another, there are so many different jihadist or Islamist movements across the Muslim world that it is ludicrous to treat them as a single front—let alone one that includes (as the policies Gorka supports would suggest) so many Muslims that they should be presumed dangerous for their faith alone. Perhaps a stronger analogy might be to leftism, a spectrum of politics that ranges from the positive and patriotic to the genocidal.
One of the oddities of the Trump administration is that a team so focused on "radical Islam" appears to have no interest in the details and distinctions within the category of "radical Islam." They prefer to treat it as one big simple thing, and that leads to absurd conclusions, such as treating anyone with headscarf as if she were a potential terrorist. In the war against communism—a genuine evil—an American Cold Warrior wouldn't have been much use if he couldn't distinguish Lenin from Norman Thomas, or Pol Pot from Hubert Humphrey. Perhaps in a new job, wherever that may be, Gorka will have time to contemplate such distinctions.

Over the past few months, as governments and bankers lose grip on the failing monetary system that is surviving only on the back of record low interest rates and excessive money printing, the 'war on cash' has been escalating around the world.
Many other financial experts and analysts also predict that a cashless society will lead to totalitarianism and total control for those in power.
So how do we protect ourselves – at least in the interim – as society battles out what the future may hold?
Most recently one of Britain's most senior fund managers has come out and announced that 'it's time to hold physical cash'.
With over £4bn under his control, Ian Spreadbury undertakes deep investigation into the market and what future events are likely to unfold.
Spreadbury's warning is far from unfound. In fact, we're currently seeing this play out in real time, as Greeks have been rushing to withdraw their cash from the banking system.
Recently, a massive $1.1 billion was withdrawn in a single day, as the Greek public fears a default from the EU and collapse of its internal banking system.
Data from the Bank of Greece shows people are pulling their cash out at rapid pace.
With vast sums of money being withdrawn daily in Greece, it is likely that when the new figures come out for June, the quantity of cash will be at all-time record levels, even surpassing the levels seen in the nation's 2012 debt crisis.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' has already ordered his administration be proactive by launching monetary controls, requiring that local governments transfer all cash reserves to the nation's central bank. He has also introduced a tax on withdrawals, charging citizens for withdrawing money from the system.
These band-aid solutions are good for buying time, but do little to solve the underlying problem of the failing economic system.
With Greece being touted as a potential trigger point that could bring down the global economy – just as Lehman Brothers did in 2008 – what will happen if the international banking system comes under intense pressure again?
Will governments bail out the banks with trillions of taxpayer funded money once more? Not likely.
More likely is that bail-ins are coming, in which the depositor at the bank has a portion of their funds taken to prop up the bank and keep it functional.
If this were to happen, will you be able to withdraw your cash in time if it is 'legally' confiscated by a desperate government?
You'd think this sounds like criminal or illegal activity, but it's now permissible by law in most nations around the world (including the United States) and has already been used in Cyprus.
This is why holding physical cash is one way to protect yourself from a monetary crisis that many are predicting is just around the corner.
The Greek people, as shown above, are already taking this advice and 'stuffing cash under the mattress'.
Another way to protect your assets – as Spreadbury mentions and the Greek people are undertaking – is to own real physical money in the form of gold and silver.

French boy accused of reintroducing measles to Costa Rica
By Alice Tidey & Alice Cuddy •et; last updated: 24/02/2019
Flickr/Alex Proimos
An unvaccinated 5-year-old French boy on holidays with his parents is suspected of having reintroduced measles to Costa Rica, the health ministry said.
The three tourists arrived in the Latin American country on February 18 and the boy has since been put under quarantine at a hospital in Puntarenas, a costal city in the north-east, the health ministry said in a statement.
The country's authorities have contacted France so they can check if other people were infected on their side.
Authorities are also looking for any people the young boy might have come into contact with since the family's arrival in Costa Rica, which had been measles-free since 2014.
The highly-infectious disease, which is most common in young children, leads to symptoms including a high fever and white spots inside the mouth before developing into the "measles rash".
The most serious complications from severe measles include blindness, encephalitis (an infection that causes brain swelling), diarrhoea and dehydration, and severe respiratory infections, according to WHO.
More than 82,000 people in Europe were infected with the measles in 2018, marking the highest number of cases reported in the region this decade, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned earlier this month.
Seventy-two children and adults died from the disease.
WHO said the historic annual figure was three times higher than that of 2017 and 15 times greater than the record low reported in 2016.
Ukraine recorded the highest number of measles cases in Europe in 2018, at 53,218.
France (2,913) and Italy (2,517) were also among the 10 most affected countries.
More measles cases reported in Europe in 2018 than any other year this decade

Politician wants to treat unemployed like cattle
by Fred Hosier
How do you motivate employees to work? An Australian politician suggests you use a cattle prod.
Newly elected Senator John Williams, in his first speech in the Australian parliament, called for unemployed idlers to be stung on the backside with cattle prods to get them to work.
"They are simply getting a free ride on behalf of taxpayers of Australia, and it is about time they received a touch on the backside with a cattle prodder to get them off their butts and actually do some work," Williams said.
The Senator suggests the unemployed should make some contribution to society to earn their government checks.
Williams isn't completely against unemployment benefits. He says the system should be there for people who lose their jobs until they find a new one. He's just against those who are "determined not to work."

One of my favorite things about style and fashion is that it is constantly changing. It's also so unique and personal. Home decor is your style and fashion for your home. And we all have different styles. My mom's passion has been home decor for over 25 years. When I got old enough to carry things, one of my favorite memories is helping my mom carry all of her home decor in a crate with wheels. Multiple crates. She worked relentlessly. Got promotions. Built a team of over 300 people. Met some incredible people. Made friends with them.
For the longest time I knew she wanted her own business. She talked about it and how her and her mom (grandma!) and her sisters (Aunt Linda & Aunt Lorraine!) wanted to open a shop, and call it "Three Sisters & Mom." Unfortunately, my mom lost her sister to cancer when I was 3, Aunt Lorraine being only 33. Years later, her mom. I can tell she still strives to hold their image highly with her business, with the ideals of scattering kindness and making people feel special. I love when people see that. She doesn't ask for attention or accolades for it, but I love when she knows it's being valued.
One of my favorite things is when people say, "Oh, your mom knows my style!" And it's true. She knows people's style better than I know my own. When she's talking with customers (who often become great friends) she listens. She learns so much about an individual. At market we'll often hear her say, "Oh that mirror is SO Abby!" It's funny, cause as soon as that mirror comes in, you know who got the most excited to see it?! ...Abby. This transfers over to flowers too.
Our home decor department has expanded. Last October we got to offer two whole floors of decor and accessories. Mirrors, clocks, paintings, wall decor, accents, signs, lamps, the list goes on. All of these pieces make up a room. A conveyed message to the people who enter it, "this is who I am. This is what I like." A few weeks ago, we got to help a friend redo her whole office. We placed all of the pieces on a table to get a cohesive look at how they all interact together. And gasped. It was perfect. It was exactly what she had envisioned, and she selected pieces that I wouldn't have expected to go with everything. But it did, and she knows I would've given my honest opinion. And of course I had to snap a picture. That was a pivotal moment for me. I've been here over a year, and someone trusted me to help them design a room. I get it now. I get why my mom is so passionate about all of this, and why it makes someone feel so special. I love it. And I'm hooked. Perhaps my mom and I can start an organization called Home Decoraholics Unanimous. Because let's face it, we've got something for everybody. Casual elegance, rustic comfort, eclectic, traditional. It's all got a space here. And it's all got a space in your home. Let us help you make your house a home.
We're approaching our 4 year anniversary as Designs on the Boulevard, but there are decades of experience behind that. And we're getting more shipments for the event! :D Thank you for being a part of this business, and letting us into your homes and lives. We are both humbled and grateful. Thank you!

Protests break out across Egypt demanding el-Sisi's resignation
Protests have broken out in the south of Egypt with demonstrators calling for the departure of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi amid a high security alert.
Following Friday prayers in the Warraq area in Giza governorate,demonstrators chanted slogans calling for the resignation of el-Sisi and raised slogans condemning the deterioration of living conditions in the country as well as the spread of corruption.
Demonstrations were also witnessed on the streets of Luxor as well as in Qaus, Qena Governorate.
On Friday, pro-Sisi demonstrations were also taking place in Alexandria, north Egypt.
In Cairo, security forces closed off entrances to Tahrir Square, the hub of the 2011 uprising that toppled former leader Hosni Mubarak. There was a heavy police presence around the square and at some junctions in the city centre.
Earlier, Egypt's president played down a call for protests against his rule, saying there were "no reasons for concern" even as the army and the police tightened security in the capital.
Rights groups said nearly 2,000 people have so far been arrested in a broad crackdown following last week's small but rare demonstrations against el-Sisi, who took power in a 2013 coup.
In a brief statement on Thursday, Egypt's Ministry of Interior warned it would "confront any attempt to destabilise social peace in a firm and decisive way".
Last week's protests were in response to a call for action from Mohamed Ali, an Egyptian businessman who accused el-Sisi of wasting public funds on vanity projects despite widespread poverty. The former military contractor, who lives in self-imposed exile in Spain, has called for a "million-man march" and a "people's revolution" to topple el-Sisi.
El-Sisi, who came to power after leading the military overthrow of then-President Mohamed Morsi in 2013, has rejected Ali's allegations. He has overseen a broad crackdown on dissent that has extended to liberal as well as Islamist groups and has effectively banned protests.
Morsi, the country's first democratically-elected president, died in June. He had been in custody since he was deposed as the president.

This week on #mochat we discussed the pros & cons of software as a service (subscription) vs perpetual licenses (traditional). This was spurred by the recent news that for any Adobe purchase beyond CS6 will require a Creative Cloud subscription. Adobe even stopped by to answer some questions… something they seem to be on top of this week with the news.
The main advantages of such a purchase have been touted quite a bit recently… easier accounting, always up-to-date availability of software, the promise of faster development cycles since one product's release isn't tied to the entire suite… But there was also a lot of concern and even anger over the move. The primary complaints seem to center around lack of choice, really. Some are upset about no longer getting to skip an update if you feel the cost isn't worth it and they are tied into a payment cycle in perpetuity. There's also uncertainty about being forced into price increases as they might occur.
While a little on the long side (over 330 tweets), the transcript is will worth the read for some of the links Adobe posted, the concerns people have, as well as some of the things people are really excited about for the upcoming Creative Cloud release.


Blog What Are the Benefits of Copper Pots and Pans?
Copper cookware is certainly beautiful, but it is also a very durable material, making it an incredible value.
Copper cookware is also excellent at thermal conductivity…a must for precise cooking. A copper pan or pot will heat up, and then effectively reach and maintain the temperature you desire much quicker than most other cooking materials.
Aside from providing perfectly event heat, Copper cookware is also easy to clean. It only requires two, non-toxic ingredients you already have in your pantry. Simply add salt to a halved lemon and scrub with the face of that lemon. For more stubborn stains, such as pot bottoms, just make a past from salt and lemon juice and scrub periodically while letting your cookware rest in it for approximately a half hour.
Once you get your copper cookware back to its gorgeous gleam, it can beautifully double as kitchen décor. With copper cookware, your initial investment may be a little more, but it will pay for itself over time with its high performance, longevity and beauty.
For an enormous selection of the highest quality, most affordable kitchen supplies – including a wide array of copper cookware choices – visit housewarewarehouse.com. Houseware Warehouse is the leading wholesale kitchen supplier in the United States.

Red Dead Online will allow you to change your character's appearance soon
Change the way you look.
Asher Madan
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a stunning single-player and multiplayer experience.
The online mode may not be as strong, but it's still a lot of fun.
You'll soon be able to change your character's appearance at any time.
You can purchase Red Dead Redemption 2: Ultimate Edition for $100 through GameStop.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a cinematic action-adventure game set in the Wild West. The title takes place in 1899, a time which brought stability to the United States, but also resulted in a drastic shift for many individuals who lived close to the untamed frontier. Beforehand, the federal government chose not to heavily intervene in these territories, going all the way to California. However, the need for consolidation and some form of control — especially when states like Montana and Utah were admitted into the Union — triggered an end to the uncontrolled lawlessness that prevailed during those times. What many people considered "true freedom" was coming to an end.
The game features a single-player mode and a multiplayer component. While the single-player story focuses on Arthur Morgan, you can create your own cowboy in Red Dead Online. Unfortunately, once you confirmed your selection, you couldn't change the way you looked.
Luckily, that's about to change. Today, developer Rockstar Games announced that the team has "been working on some top-requested features for the next major Red Dead Online update including the ability to reset your character's appearance without altering your progress." The wording in the post didn't specify when this would be available, but here's hoping that it launches soon. We'll keep you posted as soon as we know more.

Q: React Component this.variable not rendering I have this react component and I have created a const see below:
export class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  constructor() {
    super();
    const mytext = 'Some Text';
  }

  render() {
    return (

         {this.mytext}

    );
  }
}

This const is not rendering mytext when I use {this.mytext}
What I'm I doing wrong?

A: {this.mytext} should be   {mytext}
And if you want to declare a global variable of type const than you need to define it like this
    const mytext = 'Some Text';
    export class MyComponent extends React.Component {
      constructor() {
        super();

      }

  render() {
        return (

             {mytext}

        );
      }

EDIT 1. The better approcah to declare a global varibale can be:
export class MyComponent extends React.Component {
      constructor() {
        super();
        this.mytext = "VED"//you can use it now anywhere inside your file
      }

Q: How to get component in service Who can tell me how to get component in service?
example:
in componentA(may be any component)
service.call();

in service
call(){
     how to get component instance or viewContainerRef?
}

A: One way is to have your components implement an interface. You can then pass an argument to your service method. They type of the input argument should be typed to your interface.
//component example
class MyComponent implements IComponent {
  someCommonMethodName(){} // method required by interface
}

//service method
doWhatever(component: IComponent) {
  component.someCommonMethodName(); // you can trust that this method exists
}

When I opened the issue of Main Street Rag that arrived and saw my poem there after all, I was touched by your generosity of spirit. When I read further in the issue, I was blown away by the other poetry and so grateful for that interview with Joseph Bathanti (I haven't gotten to the fiction yet, but it looks delicious).
My name is Jason Jones Sheppard. You published my poem "Bluegrass" in the Spring of 2011 and in the following Fall issue, Vol. 16, Number 4. One of your co-editors commented favorably on my poem in an online article. It was discovered by a family member because I wasn't computer literate at the time. Since being informed, a number of complications (bereavement, moving, ill health, etc.) have prevented me from sending you my thanks and gratitude for the opportunity, recognition, and sense of accomplishment I gained by publishing in The Main Street Rag. It is a truly outstanding journal.
Just got my copy of the new Main Street Rag. Very impressive indeed. Loved Lisa's interview! Richard [Taylor], that Korean poem could be turned into an amazing epic novel or memoir. I love the image of those three bickering boys and their mother traveling across United States. Scott [Douglass], I certainly appreciated the clarity and finesse of your commentary in the Back Seat. And I was delighted to read Anne Kaylor's perceptive review of Bewilderment of Boys. It was fair, perceptive, and insightful. (I am happy to report the typographical errors in my novel were remedied in early August.) Thanks for being who you are and for getting this wonderful work out into the world.
p.s. Just received my copy of Kakalak! A kickass cover! Look forward to savoring its contents.
Slid it into her hand.
It's always heavier than you think.
Safety's on, he grinned at me.
we heard an AK giggle over in town.
Towards a target my weak eyes couldn't see.
I stepped away and wished it was me.
will not call me padre. In ways, I have never left.
Standing is a thing of beauty when so much has fallen.
There's a parlor game I play from time to time, just to break the ice. It works with strangers or colleagues, even with little children, and it's harmless. No one can lose.
"What's your very earliest memory?" I ask. Most of the answers sound insignificant, though not to the one remembering. It's surprising how many girls will mention a smell: their grandma's closet, their papa's pipe tobacco, dog poo. It's also astonishing how many boys like me remember the trauma of wetting their pants in kindergarten or at pre-school. My all-time favorite reply came from a Russian colleague of mine at the lab. He remembered when the cow fell into the well, head first.
Of course I have a story too. It's not my first memory, and I'll tell you why in a moment. The story I tell is a true story, an early recollection. I remember going to the circus with my mother, but it's not the circus that I remember. Not at all. No elephants or clowns or acrobats litter my memory; no fat lady, tattooed man, or cotton candy. I remember the view from the train window on our way to New York. I'm not sure where we were, coastal Connecticut, I suppose. And there was a line, a flat line that separated blue from blue and stretched far in both directions. Of course I now know it was my first conscious glimpse of the visible horizon over water. But then, when I was four years old, what I saw was a miracle of reflection, where the line represented a flat mirror, magically reproducing the blue of the late summer sky onto its polished surface in a darker hue.
Perhaps that moment was the seed that blossomed into my life as a scientist; although I'm neither a meteorologist nor an oceanographer. I'm an ornithologist; specifically, I study eggs; more specifically, I study hens' eggs. Or I did. Now I'm retired, and the lab has become a place where I'm invited to the December Holiday party. No; neither omelets nor quiche are served.


In partnership with MediaSmarts, Hands On Media is excited to announce that our Digital Literacy Training Program for Canadian Educators will be expanded over the next year and a half to reach each and every faculty of education in Canada!
This expanded roll out is part of the Canadian government's new CanCode program. The government announced last week that it would be investing $50 million over two years to support initiatives providing educational opportunities for coding and digital skills development to Canadian youth from kindergarten to grade 12, as well as initiatives providing teachers with the training and professional development required to introduce such skills in the classroom. In particular, the program aims to equip young people and traditionally underrepresented groups with the skills necessary to prepare for a rapidly changing job market.
The original pilot program involved the delivery of 11 workshops to faculties of education across Canada. The new funding means that MediaSmarts and Hands On Media will be able to provide digital literacy training to 3,500 new teachers in both English and French, who will in turn reach an estimated 300,000 students. The training is based on MediaSmarts' innovative Digital Literacy Framework for Canadian Schools, which identifies seven essential aspects of digital literacy and provides important information about each one, as well as model lessons for all grade levels.
You can download a full printable PDF of the Digital Literacy Framework here.
You can also learn more about Hands On Media and the other customizable workshops we offer for students and educators here, or by contacting us directly!

Q: CircuitTiKz lines not straight I made a schematic using following code:
\begin{circuitikz}
    \draw
        (0,0) node[op amp, scale=2] (opamp) {}
        (opamp.+) -- (-2.38,-3) node[ground] {}
        (opamp.+) node[left, above] {$u_+$}
        (opamp.-) node[left, below] {$u_-$}
        (opamp.out) to[short, -*](4,0) node[right] {$u_{izl}$}
        (opamp.-) to[R, label=$R_1$, i<=$i_1$, *-*] (-8, 1) node[left] {$u_{ul}$}
        (opamp.-) to[short] (-2.4,4) {}
        (-2.4, 4) to[R, label=$R_2$, i>=$i_2$] (3,4) {}
        (3,4) to[short, -*] (3,0)
        (opamp.up) to[short, -*] (-0.17,2.5) {}
        (opamp.down) to[short, -*] (-0.17,-2.5) {}
        (4,0) to[] (4,0) {}
        ;
\end{circuitikz}

However some of the lines on it aren't straight like these ones:

I tried changing coordinates but I can't get it right. Is there an easier way of doing this?

A: You can assign node names to the nodes that will form the intersection, and then use the syntax to[short] (u1|-u2). This could have a very precise outcome, but due to how the structured in circuitikz, I had to do some manual tweaking for the other edge.
In any case, the line is straight now.

SELLING ENGINEERED LUMBER: Do Dimension Lumber Labeling Concerns Apply to Structural Panel Products?
Matt Breyer
In August 2014, Lowe's agreed to pay a $1.6 million settlement in California as a result of a lawsuit brought by the district attorneys of several counties in the state. The lawsuit alleged that Lowe's labeling of products was inaccurate and misled consumers as to the actual dimensions of lumber and other
building materials.
As part of the settlement, Lowe's agreed to change its labeling of dimensional building materials in order to reflect both the common name of the product and the actual product dimensions. For instance, for the piece of lumber commonly called a 2×4, the label now reflects both that common name and the actual product dimensions (1.5″ x 3.5″).
The court decision is exclusive to the company. "On dimension lumber, with exception of Lowe's stores in California, lumber dealers only have to put the nominal dimension size out there," says Ken Dunham, executive director of the West Coast Lumber & Building Material Association.
And while the Lowe's issue dealt primarily with dimension lumber, dealers are understandably cautious about labeling requirements for all of the building materials they sell, including wood structural panels such as structural plywood and OSB.
Whose Job is Measurement?
There is no need to head out with a tape measure to verify the size of every panel of plywood and OSB in the lumberyard. Dealers have no obligation to measure products nor to verify measurements given by suppliers. Suppliers are responsible for furnishing actual length and width dimension declarations for their
panel products. According to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards written by the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM), average package components must meet these declared dimensions.
For thickness, there are two designations for structural plywood and OSB produced to U.S. Voluntary Product
Standards PS 1 and PS 2: "Performance Category" (abbreviated PERF CAT or just CAT) and "thickness label." Both designations are printed on every panel as part of the APA trademark.
Performance Category
Performance Category is a designation for structural panels that is linked to the nominal panel thickness designations used in the International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC). Therefore, the Performance Category designates the panels' technical capabilities within model building code applications.
Thickness Label
A second designation is the thickness label, which lists the panel thickness in thousandths of an inch. This label complies with national, regional, and local requirements for compliance with weights and measures regulations. The regulations require that all panels be within 3% of the labeled thickness, therefore the thickness labels are within 3% of the minimum thickness tolerance of PS 1 and PS 2.


Pest description and damage Adults of this pest of red osier dogwood are dark, shiny blue, and about 0.25 inch long. Larvae are black and about 0.25 inch long at maturity. Adults chew holes in leaves while the larvae feed in groups and skeletonize foliage of red osier dogwood. They are capable of defoliating shrubs but more often they are found in smaller numbers throughout the shrubs. Because red osier dogwood is abundantly planted in riparian zones there is a potential for buildup in these settings.


Defendant was charged with Driving Under the Influence – Second Offense. If convicted, defendant faced a mandatory minimum sentence of ninety days incarceration, a $1,500.00 fine, Alcohol Highway Safety School, an eighteen month license suspension, Ignition Interlock, and a drug and alcohol assessment. Defendant wished to plead guilty. However, after a lengthy discussion, defendant changed her plea and demanded a trial.
The case was listed repeatedly without incident. At the first listing the Commonwealth failed to provide mandatory discovery. The next listing the police officer failed to appear. At the third listing, the police again failed to appear. Finally, after four listings the case was withdrawn without prejudice.
Defendant's decision to fight ultimately resulted in no penalties. This result is not typical or indicative of the outcome in other cases. Defendant walked out of the courtroom for the last time. It turns out the mandatory minimum was not mandatory after all.

I once had a girlfriend in Honolulu, who was smart about math, especially calculation. According to her, she used to learn Japanese Abacus from her father. So she was good at sums in her head.
One time, together she and I went to the restaurant and I learned something unforgettable. It was the easiest way to calculate a tip. It was more than shocking because at that time, I was using a small calculating-table or calculator with me.
First, she taught me to calculate 10% of total cost. And she explained that all you need to get number of 10% was just move a decimal point.
10 % of $23.6 is calculated by just moving [.dot] to the left side. So it will be $2.36.
10% of $32.5 is $3.25.
After getting number of 10%, she said, "Do double that number" which is 20%.
Since then, my calculation of tip became so easy and I learned something important from her. I also learned tipping was an expression of gratitude. The more generous you are, the more people could be generous to you too. Therefore tip is better to be "about" $2020%....if possible.
Honestly speaking, I do miss the dating with her, but I don't miss her any more....because she is now my wife.

Top real estate names make late contributions in comptroller race
Aug.August 19, 2009 02:43 PM
By Adam Pincus
Developers such as Lloyd Goldman, the Chetrit family and commercial broker Robert Knakal have recently opened their wallets as the citywide race for comptroller heats up, according to the most recent campaign finance documents filed last week.
Brooklyn City Council member David Yassky took in the largest amount of contributions from real estate interests among the four major candidates for city comptroller, an analysis of the most recent reports from the city's Campaign Finance Board, covering July 12 to August 10, by The Real Deal shows.
But Yassky remains far behind Queens Council members Melinda Katz and John Liu in overall contributions, and is about tied with David Weprin, another Queens Council member.
The primary election is September 15, with a runoff contest September 29 in the event that no candidate wins more than 40 percent.
A July Quinnipiac poll shows the race is a toss up, with Liu leading with 17 percent, trailed by Katz with 10 percent, Yassky with 8 percent and Weprin with 5 percent.
The comptroller provides audits for the city as well as oversees the city's pension funds, which invest in real estate assets. The race is hitting a phase when candidates begin to air expensive television and radio commercials.
Nearly a quarter of Yassky's contributions in the most recent filing period were from real estate interests, comprising some $41,340 from a total of $166,249 contributions received in the month ending August 10. He led the comptroller candidates in overall donations in the period, but was fourth among the four candidates since fundraising began in 2006, raising $1.7 million. Of that, at least $285,000 was real estate-related, the analysis shows.
Yassky's district includes Williamsburg and Greenpoint, which have been heavily developed with new condominiums in recent years.
Donations over the month include $4,950 from Lloyd Goldman, head of BLDG Management; $2,450 from Yitzchak Tessler, CEO of Tessler Developments and $1,000 from David Greenbaum, president of the New York office of Vornado Realty Trust.
Katz, chair of the powerful land use committee, took in the second greatest amount of real estate funds this period, but has raised the most from the industry totaling at least $1 million since fundraising began in 2006. Her total contributions come to $2.4 million.
Katz raised about $20,875 from real estate interests over the past month, about 30 percent of the total of $70,955 raised in the filing period.
Her top real estate contributors from the recent filing include Judy Kalikow, married to developer Peter Kalikow, who gave the maximum $4,950, and three members of the Chetrit family that gave a combined $7,500.
The Kalikow family has given a combined $32,200 to Katz since the campaign began, records show.
Knakal, chairman of commercial brokerage Massey Knakal Realty Services, contributed $175 to Katz in the last filing period. But in prior periods he favored Weprin, giving him a total of $1,750.
The other major comptroller candidates, Weprin and Liu, raised far less than Yassky and Katz in the recent period. Weprin raised about $1,675 from people with real estate-related interests out of a total $34,614 he received over the past month. Weprin has raised $1.7 million total and about $437,000 is from the real estate industry since fundraising began.
Liu received about $500 from real estate interests from about $5,125 raised in the most recent period.
"I have not targeted any people or occupation. Basically we want support from everybody, and that includes some people with real estate interests," Liu said.
He has raised the most, some $2.9 million, but the lowest ratio from real estate, taking in approximately $307,000. In addition, he has slowed in taking contributions because he has on hand more than he can spend as set by campaign finance limits.

New in stock from Mississippi Records:
Chalk Circle - Reflection LP - Mississippi Records
A previously unknown group to me -- and probably to many -- Chalk Circle were a brief, bright anomaly in the early D.C. punk scene, squeezing in two years of activity('81-'83) before the orthodoxy of male hardcore bulldozered them out of the way. This LP is the first retrospective of their work, and their first non-various-artist-compilation release ever, I believe. So not a "lost album" but rather the document of a feverishly creative group of young women shooting sparks in just about every direction. As such, it's a scattered listen -- audio fidelity, quality and mood varying quite a bit from track to track -- but what it lacks in cohesion it more than makes up for in stand-out tracks, even if they sound like they could have been recorded by half a dozen different groups. The easy reference for most of these songs is LiLiPUT in their herky-jerky exuberance, but "The Look" works lively, pre-Beat Happening naivete, "Easy Escapes" is lithe like the Au Pairs, with shimmering guitars and acrobatic bass, "High Stress" shows the influence of the D.C. punk scene. It's fair to say that if they had released a handful of these tracks as 45s in the early 80s, Chalk Circle would be legendary by now. This LP has its ups and downs but should be essential listening for fans of the Neo Boys or anyone interested in early American regional punk scenes. Comes with a full color, interesting(the Chalk Circle girls were friends with young Henry Rollins and pre-Minor Threat Ian MacKaye) if not enlightening booklet with many photos and press clippings. $11

THE Shanghai Meteorological Bureau will cooperate with its counterparts in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to study and forecast weather phenomena that reduce visibility, such as fog and haze.
Haze is created by liquid or solid particles suspended in the air. The Yangtze River Delta Region has become one of the most seriously haze-polluted areas of the country. Climate experts warned yesterday that satellite images showed particulate pollution in the city was worse than some of the most seriously polluted areas of the United States.
Ozone, a colorless toxic gas, was another problem. The center found that from 2006 to last year, the city had increasing days when the ozone concentration was high. Jinshan District has the worst ozone problem. The district had 31 days when the ozone density was above standard levels, experts said.
Pudong New Area had 10 straight hours when the ozone concentration was higher than the standard on May 20 last year, which was a record length of time for high ozone concentration.
"High ozone levels will harm people's lungs, and will affect the growth of agricultural products," said Geng Fuhai, deputy director of the center.
The bureau will strengthen its monitoring of particulate matter and ozone in the air along with local environmental protection authorities during the 2010 World Expo, and issue alerts if needed.

The identity of the next government might well be uncertain, but regardless of which party or coalition takes up the mantle on the 13 December, they must do so with a clear plan for the UK's infrastructure, says Chris Richards of the Institution of Civil Engineers.
Chris Richards
Infrastructure and society
Infrastructure investment is a means to an end and never an end in itself. Investment delivers outcomes for the public, it supports a higher quality of life, helps with mitigation and adaption to climate change and improves the competitiveness of the UK economy within an international context.
ICE wants to see the next government delivering on these ambitions by doing the following:
1. Publish a national strategy for infrastructure: This is a strategy that must be long-term, joined-up and based on the evidence produced by the National Infrastructure Commission. This will ensure the UK is well placed to tackle head on the challenges faced right across the country, be it increasing urbanisation, mitigating the effects of climate change or investing to create sustainable places for people to live, work and play.
2. Take a bold approach to deliver on the legislated net-zero by 2050 greenhouse gas target: While the initial vote was historic, this will pale into insignificance compared to the brave and historic trade-offs that will be required to get us to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
3. Focus on improving the delivery of infrastructure projects and increasing productivity across the built environment sector: There are a number of technologies and approaches that can be readily adopted across the built environment sector. These include common sense steps to reduce the gap between forecasts and out-turns for major projects, greater use of off-site construction for manufacturing, increasing the use of digital solutions to improve productivity and supporting industry-led efforts to adopt the principles of Project 13.
Government as a major client has a leading role to play in driving these changes. The next one should take a more robust approach to making them happen.
The adoption and delivery of this three-point plan will improve infrastructure provision across the UK and as a consequence drive economic growth, protect our natural environment and improve living standards for all.
Chris Richards is head of policy and public affairs at the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).
