Lois Joanne Lane è un personaggio della serie televisiva Smallville, interpretato da Erica Durance. È la versione adattata della Lois Lane dei fumetti, da cui differisce, soprattutto inizialmente, per alcuni particolari. Bella, sensuale, tenace, sveglia e con uno spiccato senso dell'umorismo, diventerà il vero amore di Clark Kent, anche se all'inizio i due non si sopportavano. Appare a partire dalla quarta stagione, introdotta come cugina di Chloe Sullivan.

Biografia del personaggio
È figlia dell'autoritario generale Sam Lane, con cui è spesso in conflitto a causa del suo carattere ribelle e indomito.

Sua madre è morta quando era una bambina. Lois ha una sorella minore, la bella violinista Lucy, con cui si è sempre contesa l'affetto del padre, troppo spesso assente per occuparsi di loro: specialmente Lucy è sempre stata gelosa della sorella poiché convinta che quest'ultima fosse quella che più ha ricevuto l'amore del rigido generale. Giunge a Smallville nel primo episodio della quarta stagione (Il simbolo della crociata) per indagare sull'apparente morte della cugina Chloe, avvenuta nell'ultimo episodio della terza stagione (Il patto), e si imbatte immediatamente in un Clark Kent nudo e senza ricordi, sperduto in un campo di grano. Anche a causa di questo inizio imbarazzante, tra i due si instaura un rapporto di odio-amore, ricco di frecciatine, prese in giro, ma anche tanta complicità.

Un rapporto che continuerà anche dopo la conclusione delle indagine sulla presunta morte di Chloe (che Clark salverà nell'episodio Scomparsa) poiché Lois, bocciata all'ultimo semestre al Liceo di Metropolis, si ritrova costretta a frequentare lo Smallville High School e anche grazie ad un breve periodo in cui la ragazza viene ospitata in casa Kent.

Caparbia e determinata quanto la più giovane cugina Chloe (Lois è di un anno più vecchia) con cui ha un rapporto profondo, Lois è ribelle, sarcastica, ironica, spigliata, spiritosa, ottimista e combattiva: come disse allo stesso Clark il primo giorno che si sono conosciuti, è dipendente dalla nicotina e imbarazzata dai silenzi imbarazzanti.

Prende scherzosamente in giro Clark con il soprannome "Smallville" ed è allergica ai cani. La Lois all'inizio della serie è comunque lontana dalla Lois Lane dei fumetti: sembra che Clark non sia affatto il suo tipo e soprattutto odia il giornalismo, anche se nella sesta stagione inizierà a scrivere per L'Inquisitor, un giornale scandalistico di Metropolis.

Nonostante Clark sia ancora innamorato di Lana e Lois non sembri essere attratta da lui, tra i due c'è una grande intesa: Clark ritiene che lei sia la persona che lo capisce più di chiunque altro.

Nella sesta stagione frequenterà il miliardario Oliver Queen ma la loro relazione è ostacolata dal segreto della vera identità del ragazzo. Nel finale della sesta stagione, verrà ferita mortalmente da un criminale, ma verrà guarita dalle lacrime curative di Chloe che, dopo averla salvata, appare esanime (si riprenderà in seguito).

Nella settima stagione inizierà a lavorare per il Daily Planet ed entrerà per questa ragione in conflitto con la cugina Chloe, che verrà licenziata dal giornale dal proprietario, Lex Luthor.

Nell'ottava stagione, dopo aver scoperto la vera identità di Freccia Verde, inizierà a dimostrare un vero interesse nei confronti di Clark, che intanto è diventato suo collega, e una forte curiosità nei confronti del nuovo e misterioso supereroe di Metropolis, detto la "Macchia rosso-blu", con il quale riesce a mettersi in contatto telefonico più di una volta nel finale di stagione. Al termine della stagione mentre stava lottando con Tess Mercer indossa involontariamente l'Anello della Legione di Clark che la porta nel futuro.

Nella nona stagione torna dal futuro senza ricordi, ma ha dei flash su avvenimenti terribili. La Macchia la ricontatta molte volte anche solo per parlare, ma dopo lo scontro con Metallo, nel quale Lois è stata rapita nel tentativo di aiutare il supereroe, Clark decide di tornare alla sua vita umana e di smettere di contattare la collega, di cui si è innamorato. Oliver le confessa di essere ancora innamorato di lei, ma Lois gli dice di volergli bene solo come un buon amico e ammettendo che è innamorata di Clark, il quale la bacia, per la prima volta consapevolmente, al Daily Planet.

Dopo essere stata rapita da Tess Mercer, che vuole scoprire dove è stata nelle tre settimane in cui è scomparsa, Clark scopre cosa le è accaduto nel futuro e il professor Hamilton le cancella la memoria su di esso poiché quando ha i flash sta male. Dopo essersi ripresa, Clark le chiede dei chiarimenti sulla loro relazione e decidono di iniziare a frequentarsi. La relazione con Clark si evolve lentamente, ma in modo più adulto e sembra andare tutto bene, finché Zod si finge la Macchia e le chiede di aiutarlo e mentire a Clark. Nel frattempo Lois conosce Perry White, a cui confessa di essere una sua grande ammiratrice, e iniziano a collaborare insieme ad una storia. Questo mostra a Perry White l'audacia della giornalista, tale da offrirle un lavoro in Africa, che tuttavia Lois rifiuterà. Nonostante le tensioni, Lois tiene al suo rapporto con Clark e quando Zod si presenta come la Macchia e le dice di prendere il Libro di Rao in possesso di Clark, lei lo prega di essere onesta con lui, ma Clark non vuole rivelarle il suo segreto e poi abbandonarla (avendo intenzione di utilizzare il Libro di Rao che lo esilierebbe dalla Terra). Lois ferita si reca da Zod per portargli il Libro di Rao, ma avendo ancora dei dubbi sull'identità della Macchia si rifiuta e Zod la attacca. Lois viene salvata dalla vera Macchia e quando le chiede di perdonarla e di dirle qualcosa, Clark tace per non farle capire che è lui. Invece di parlare, la prende per mano e nell'oscurità la bacia. Nonostante non lo abbia visto in volto, dal bacio Lois capisce che la Macchia non è altro che Clark.

Tuttavia non glielo dice e aspetterà che sia Clark stesso a rivelarle la verità. Entusiasta della rivelazione, Lois rimarrà molto combattuta quando Clark le chiede di sposarlo, pensando così di diventare il suo punto debole e di distrarlo dal suo compito. Tuttavia, grazie ai consigli della cugina Chloe, deciderà infine di sposare Clark.

Q: DIV fill element as vertical i want to fill span as vertical rather it's arrenge as horizontal

        1
        2
        3

expected result
    1
    2
    3

How could i do that?

A: Create a CSS rule.
span {
display:block;
}

Spans are inline elements so they'll flow next to each other. By changing them to block elements they'll stack on top of each other.

A: You could add a
 at the end of each  tag

A: Use CSS to set display: block. For example:

    1
    2
    ...

And the CSS:
div#myDiv span {
    display: block;
}

Alternatively (and probably more appropriate), just replace the  elements with divs.

A: There's three options that I can think of, given the following mark-up:

    1
    2
    3

    1
    2
    3

    1
    2
    3

The following CSS all (potentially) does what you want:
div {
    width: 50%;
    margin: 0 auto 1em auto;
    border: 2px solid #000;
    overflow: hidden;
}

span {
    background-color: #ffa;
    border-bottom: 2px solid #000;
}

#block span {
    display: block;
}

#listItem {
    display: list; /* just for...(pseudo-semantic) correctness, I guess */
    overflow: visible; /* to show the default list-markers */
}

#listItem span {
    display: list-item;
}

#clearLeft {
    overflow: hidden; /* to wrap the div borders around the
                         floated content */
}

#clearLeft span {
    float: left;
    clear: left;
}

Hawes & Curtis is Official Tailor to West Ham United Football Club
Hawes & Curtis is delighted to announce that it will become the official tailor to West Ham United Football Club. The quintessentially British brand will dress key representatives of the Club, including the first-team squad, management and coaching staff, in its renowned suits, shirts, accessories and shoes.
The partnership, the first of its kind for Hawes & Curtis, will be officially unveiled for West Ham United's European bow in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League on Thursday 28 July.
The new sponsorship deal has occurred at an extremely exciting time for both organisations, with West Ham United's move to the iconic London Stadium on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Hawes & Curtis' international expansion.
The collaboration is a natural fit for the two London organisations. Like West Ham United, Hawes & Curtis boasts more than 100 years of heritage and a promising international future. From a single store in the Piccadilly Arcade in 1913, Hawes & Curtis has grown into a globally renowned brand.
West Ham United Football Club has similarly gone from strength to strength since it was first founded in 1895 as Thames Ironworks FC. Today, the Club plies its trade in the Premier League, the top tier of English football, battling it out alongside the country's other top clubs for European competition.
The formalwear collection based on the one worn by the players will be available in the Hawes & Curtis Stratford store and online (hawesandcurtis.co.uk) as well as in the West Ham United store located on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and online (www.officialwesthamstore.com). There will also be a selected range of West Ham United inspired products for fans to purchase.
West Ham United Vice-Chairman Karren Brady said: "As West Ham United make the move to an iconic London landmark, it seems apt that we should be joining forces with Hawes & Curtis, another historic London institution.
Touker Suleyman, Hawes & Curtis CEO, added: "This is a fantastic time to be partnering with West Ham United. We are delighted to be the official tailor to such an inspirational team that is truly progressing. We know the team and the fans will love the new outfits."
Notes about the brand
Hawes & Curtis is a quintessentially British brand specialising in fine tailoring and accessories for men and women. Founded in 1913 by Ralph Hawes and George Frederick Curtis, Hawes & Curtis has since become the go-to brand for British classics whilst continuing to deliver the promise of exceptional quality, innovation and outstanding value. These values are now synonymous with the Hawes & Curtis name.
A Jermyn Street shirtmaker for more than 100 years, Hawes & Curtis opened its first store in the Piccadilly Arcade and has had many distinguished clients through its doors, including the Duke of Windsor, Lord Mountbatten, Fred Astaire and Cary Grant. As a result of Hawes & Curtis' commitment to impeccable service and product excellence, the brand has been awarded four Royal Warrants. Officially granted to Hawes & Curtis in 1922 was the Royal Warrant of HRH the Prince of Wales, followed by the Royal Warrant of HRH King George VI in 1938. In 1948 Hawes & Curtis received a third Royal Warrant appointed by HRH King George VI and HRH the Duke of Edinburgh awarded a fourth Royal Warrant in 1957.
Hawes & Curtis currently has more than 20 stores in the UK as well as stores in Germany and the United Arab Emirates. Hawes & Curtis' flagship store remains in the heart of London on Jermyn Street, famous for its resident shirtmakers.

About West Ham United
West Ham United were formally founded in the July of 1900 after five years as Thames Ironworks Football Club. The winners of three FA Cups and a European Cup Winners' Cup, the Hammers lay claim to the Academy of Football, renowned for its development of prodigious talent and an illustrious list of England internationals. West Ham's very own Bobby Moore led England to FIFA World Cup glory at Wembley in 1966, with fellow Hammers Sir Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters scoring the Three Lions' four goals. Following 112 years spent at the historic Boleyn Ground in Upton Park, West Ham United are set to embark on a momentous move to the iconic London Stadium on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in the summer of 2016.

Monday Mailbag – First impressions of Caleb Jones
January 14, 2019, 7:00 AM | baggedmilk
Another Monday is here to ruin your practice retirement and that sucks, there's no doubt about it, but the first day of the week also means another edition of the Monday Mailbag. Once again, this here mailbag is set to help you kill off a few minutes of your day and maybe, just maybe, help you learn a little something while you're at it. If you'd like to join in, I need questions for next week and you can always email them to me at baggedmilk@oilersnation.com or hit me up on Twitter at @jsbmbaggedmilk. Now sit back, relax, and waste as much company time as is humanly possible. Have a good week, everybody.
1) Tiff asks – I've been impressed with the way Caleb Jones has filled in despite probably being in over his head at this point so my questions are: what are your first impressions of Caleb Jones' game? What does he do well and what does he still need to work on?
Jason Gregor:
His skating is his best asset. He handles the puck well and moves it accurately. He needs to slow his game down, which will come from experience. Nothing overly negative from him other than needing experience, and when Klefbom returns and Jones gets to play in the third pair he will look even better not having to face the best forwards. He shouldn't be asked to do that so early in his NHL career.
Robin Brownlee:
Most obvious is his ability to skate and move the puck. As a rookie, he needs to work on everything. Has had some bad luck and has been caught up ice a time or two, but eliminating the latter will come with ice time and experience. Has a lot of potential and good instincts.
Matt Henderson:
He's a good skater and he can pass the puck. That alone can keep him in the NHL for a long time. I knew about the skating, wasn't sure of the passing. If he wants to keep improving I think it's just experience. He's going to learn what works and what doesn't in the NHL.
Tyler Yaremchuk:
He can move the puck pretty well, skating isn't a problem, he has good offensive instincts. Like most young defensemen, he struggles to contain high-level NHL players off the rush and he can lose his coverage in his own end pretty easily. In general, I've been very impressed with his game. I think there's a really strong possibility that he's a full-time NHL next season.
Chris the Intern:
I'm glad you asked this. I've been very impressed with his game so far and even more impressed with the way he played on Thursday night against the Panthers. Hitchcock playing him in the last five minutes of the third period says a lot. Jones' patience impresses me the most, and I think he needs to work on his speed, which is totally understandable. I see him getting blown by a lot during games which probably will come with experience.
Baggedmilk:
Jones has been a really nice surprise for the Oilers so far this season. He has good wheels, can make a solid first pass, and generally looks calm when the walls around him are caving in. That said, he's still a young guy that's going to make some mistakes until he gets more at-bats under his belt. Right now, he's fighting above his weight class and it will help a lot when Klefbom comes back and Jones can slide down the depth chart a little bit.

2) Casey asks – As I submit this question after the win against Florida, the Oilers have only eight players with 10 points or more on their roster and that's the fewest in the NHL by at least three (Boston and Buffalo are next with 11 players), and I'm wondering if everyone thinks this is bad luck or if the Oilers just aren't good enough?
Not sure it is bad luck. It's not like their depth forwards are getting great chances nightly and have been robbed. Too many of them are not performing to even an average level. It is disappointing. No one expected Reider to have no goals. That is awful. He needs to be better and so do most of their depth forwards.
Not good enough. Way too much reliance on four forwards for offence.
It's not bad luck. It's good luck. Who knew Larsson and Khaira would be in double digits by now??? Not this guy. Chiasson with 20+ points already? Oh man. This team is hot garbage outside of a small handful of players and the reason I don't need to write much anymore is because I've already explained why this team sucks so many times that it's boring to keep saying "Chiarelli eats paste and shouldn't be allowed to show his face in public."
It's honestly a little bit of both. They have six players in the 7-9 point range and three of them (Russell, Rattie, Rieder) have been hurt, two of them have shooting percentages under 5% (Lucic, Rieder, Benning), and Puljujarvi spent a few weeks in the AHL. None of those guys are having good seasons, and there's no doubt that the Oilers don't have anywhere close to an acceptable level of secondary scoring, but there has been some bad luck when it comes to getting the bounces and injuries. They could have more guys in double digits.
There are a couple guys who are underperforming (Lucic, Reider) but the main problem is that they aren't good enough. Thanks, Chia!
No, it's not bad luck it's that GM doesn't appear to know what he's doing in terms of pro-scouting. He's spent a lot of money on guys that can't help and that's squarely on his shoulders.

3) Lance asks – By my eye, the Oilers have far too many left-handed defencemen and I'm curious what the panel thinks will happen when the likes of Klefbom and/or Sekera get healthy? If Brandon Manning can't crack the lineup now, what chance does he have when players start coming back?
He has no chance. The trade was terrible. I don't blame the player, I blame GM and scouts for thinking he would help. When Klefbom returns Jones will slide down to the third pair and Gravel to press box. Sekera will we need to see how he looks whenever he returns.
Having guys who can play trumps which side they shoot from, even if too many lefties isn't ideal. Let's see Sekera actually get healthy before we even contemplate his impact on the line-up. If Manning is in your line-up you aren't good enough.
Brandon Manning is now and has been forever a fringe player whose only claim to fame was being so shitty that the only way he could stop McDavid was to jump on his back and ride him shoulder first into the boards. The only way he plays when others get healthy is if the Oilers trade Russell, Sekera, Gravel, and Jones to St Louis for Parayko.
When everyone is healthy, there is a 0% chance that Brandon Manning is one of their top six defensemen. That's a fact. I think they'll send down Jones and one of Manning/Gravel this season and then this summer I think we could honestly see them try to deal Andrej Sekera. It will be tough because he's hardly played any hockey over the past two years and he has a big contract, but if they can find someone who wants him, Sekera might be the odd man out. If they can't move him, then I'm not sure what they do to solve the log-jam on the left side. I think we'll definitely see some sort of trade, but it probably won't be until the summer.
Manning is going to get bought out before we know it. There's no chance he cracks the lineup when Sekera and Klefbom return. What a waste of a good Drake Caggiula.
Manning is a bad hockey player so Hitchcock is, rightfully, not playing him. This is the way it's going to go for as long as he's on the roster. More fine work by the GM.
Edmonton Oilers general manager, Peter Chiarelli, speaks at a season ending press conference.
4) Marc asks – What do you think are the Oilers biggest problems and in what order?
Inability as an organization to recognize how to fill out the depth of a roster. No scoring depth
I think we've been over this, what. about 1,000 times?
– No scoring depth
– Not enough experience and depth on the blueline
– Up and down goaltending
The General Manager is a cancer that needs to be excised. They have like five 3rd pairing defenders. They traded their NHL quality wingers for those aforementioned defenders.
I think their biggest need is a top-six scoring winger. Someone who could work with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and give them a threatening second line. It would then push some other players down the lineup and balance things out a little. They're more than one piece away though. If this team wants to become a contender, they probably need two more scoring wingers, a true #1 goaltender, and a top-four defenseman. Regardless, I think their biggest need is on the wings.
General manager, Defence, Forward depth
The biggest problem is the management team for allowing this Chiarelli-led debacle to continue.

5) Geoff asks – If (when) Chiarelli gets fired this offseason, what potential GMs could the Oilers acquire? Is there a leading person that could step into his role already in the Oilers organization and if not, why not?
Keith Gretzky would be the only one in the organization ready to be an NHL GM. I can't say with certainty how good he'd be at leading and running an entire organization. It is always a bit of a projection when they've never had that role at any level.
Won't know a full list of candidates until the off-season. I have Keith Gretzky as the most likely internal interim candidate if something is done during this season.
I can't imagine the Oilers would hire someone good, but how do they not send a blank cheque Yzerman's way? I dunno, it's probably going to be Keith Gretzky though. Where's the bleach?
I haven't spent enough time going through all the available candidates. Keith Gretzky is an internal option, but the backlash from the fan base that would come from hiring within would not be worth it. Not sure where else they could look, though. Knowing the Oilers, they would hire someone like Dean Lombardi because he's a "good hockey man".
Honestly, I'm not too informed on the GM situation around the league. I haven't decided whether it would be a good decision or not to promote Keith Gretzky but I'm not too sure who's all out there.
I assume Keith Gretzky would get the interim tag if/when Chiarelli goes, but the organization really needs to do things right and do an actual search for the next GM. No more naming a buddy to a bigger role. No more hiring the first guy they talk to. You probably wouldn't hire the first person that walks in the door to run the till at McDonald's so why would you do it in the General Manager position for an NHL hockey team?

Lowetide put it best:
Since inception they are being run like a family furniture store – wasting the day arguing about what colour the delivery truck should be.
While the league has become as sophisticated and competitive as the aerospace industry.

You want us to take your comment seriously and you quote Lowetide, a guy who wanted the Oilers to sign Cody Franson. and we though Chiarelli was a bad GM.
Sometimes he's right on some things.

Not Gretzky please. This organization needs to forget the old boys club and relatives PLEASE. Hey maybe Keegan Lowe could be his ass't GM. Enough already
Isn't messiers brother a scout?
Someday maybe an intrepid contributor on ON could post an org chart of OEG showing all the nepotistic relationships (just like a mafia family tree – except less successful).

From what I know, these are the following relatives / friends and former employees in the organization:
Wayne Gretzky – Keith Gretzky (Asst. GM)
Mark Messier – Paul Messier (Scout – Lives in Bahamas managing Mark's hotel)
Kevin Lowe – Keegan Lowe (Capt of farm team)
Craig Mactavish
Scott Howson (Buddy of MacT and Lowe)
Bob Nicholson – Laura Nicholson (Propaganda Publisher)
Peter Chiarelli – Mike Chiarelli (Scout)

You look at a team like Arizona, who have been telling them selves if they just had this type of player then everything would be great, and so they continue to tinker and tread water for 10 years or more.
Then you look at teams like Toronto who gutted the team and started again, they brought in people that had a real plan.
Re-building is more painful but much faster than trying to trade your way to success.
When the Oiler's got McDavid they also had Hall, Eberle, 2 first round picks and plenty of cap money. They decided that trading a player here and there instead of having a real plan would do the trick.
The results speak for them selves.

I don't know why he is on the mailbag panel when he hardly even post articles here anymore. Replace him with any one of the more active writers like Cam Lewis, Zach Laing or Christian Pagnani. At least their responses won't sound like faux-outrage Twitter posts, which appears to be more of Henderson's thing now anyways.

Then who plays their offside or moves to the 3rd pairing? Klefbom or Nurse? Hitchcock plays the hell out of both of those players.
islandjet 6 months ago
The Oilers have a lack of depth, talent, grit, chemistry, skill, leadership and a losing attitude. They have to trade two or three of their so called top 7 players to teams with a history of constantly winning in order to bring in players with qualities this team sorely lacks. The Oilers aren't going to win many games playing their top three players on one line for 30 minutes a game.

Total non-sequitur, but it looks like McDavid is out of the line-up tonight? Un-disclosed as to why?
Birthday related, maybe? Or maybe Hitch showing Chia how thin this team really is?
Same reason he was absent from the skills competition (if you want to call it that) yesterday. Flu!
He wasn't at skills comp? Must have been a few thousand disappointed/poed fans.

When Hitch was announced as head coach everyone involved made it clear it was only temporary & he's certainly had no incentive to stay & add a smear at the end of a great career, so very likely to be looking for a new head coach this summer. Either Chiarelli is making that hire unless (please god please) he goes, in which case it'll be Nicholson, or Gretzky if that's the GM move. It all just bodes very badly for next season.
Chia won't be hiring the permanent head coach.
And the fok and fog shouldn't be hiring chias replacement.

A reminder that there is always still more to learn, and the great mounds of things we once knew for true but now know to be false is no shame, as long as we're moving towards truth.
Paraphrase: Antipater, you've missed the point. Duh. Hugs and kisses, Ps-Diogenes.
"[One] should demonstrate that the spoken claims conform to the way of life." Practice what you preach!
I think this is the first reference to Diogenes jug/jar/barrel we've come across. Inspired by even the snails.

3 Reasons Why We Like Tapa King's Fried Chicken – Welcome To Manila Eat Up. Make yourself at home.
Welcome To Manila Eat Up. Make yourself at home.
Whenever we want good and affordable dried cured thin slices of beef also known as "tapa" in Metro Manila, one of our go-to places is Tapa King. All-day breakfast is our thing so it's only natural that we always look for Tapa King when the breakfast cravings hit at the weirdest hours. We'd often get either the classic or the spicy version of their Tapsilog which is basically tapa with garlic rice (sinangag) and fried egg (itlog). When we're in the mood for something fit for royalty, we get their Royal Meals which consist of not only tapa but also servings of other known Filipino breakfast food such as fried milkfish, crispy danggit, longganisa, and tocino. We always end up full and happy— making every trip to TK worth it.
We thought we have enough reasons to visit Tapa King until we were introduced to their newest member of the Royal formation— their All New Fried Chicken. Let us tell you 3 simple yet compelling reasons why we like TK's fried chicken and why we're including it on our list of our regular order line-up.
Bigger chicken portions mean bigger savings and bigger satisfaction. Imagine getting a box of 6 big pieces for just PHP440 (price as of March 2019)— you'll be able to feed 6 kids or 3 very hungry adults. See? Bigger savings, bigger satisfaction.
We love fried chicken and we have eaten quite a good amount ever since we learned about its existence. A fried chicken's crispy skin is like our kryptonite. We just couldn't stay away once we see the chicken's craggy skin fried to golden perfection, tempting us to peel it away from the meat and enjoy the sound of that crunch as we bite into it. With TK's fried chicken, you don't just imagine it, you get to experience it because the rumors are true— definitely crispier.
When you encounter a fried chicken that has that beautiful golden crispy exterior, that also smells fantastic, and is moist and tender inside— don't let that fried chicken go because that's a keeper. Tapa King's fried chicken totally got this one in the bag.

My name is Eric Broyhill, and I welcome you to MonsterLab.
Early in my career I had the opportunity, to record and mix many talented people. Artists such as; Deftones, The Mother Hips, Brotha Lynch Hung, Chk Chk Chk !!!, Seven Seconds, ZAO, Knapsack, Fillibuster, FAR, Tera Melos, and countless others.
In 1992, at one of California's more notorious recording studios, Enharmonic, later known as "The Hangar", I landed a job interview. The owners' idea of an interview consisted of making sure I could handle a skateboard on the studios' indoor quarter-pipe! I landed the job with a few bruises to show! In essence, being thrown into the fire is how I learned the trade.
After working in the trenches for a decade, I began taking an interest in the art of mastering. Being a contributor to Tape Op magazine gave me the opportunity to pick a few of the most brilliant minds in the business. The fact I was consulting studio design part time, made the timing great for putting the right room together. With design inspiration from one of the best, Wes Lachot, and help from John Baccigaluppi of Tape Op, I built and opened MonsterLab.
With support from good friends and great artist, mastering took over. As of today I've created thousands of masters for an eclectic and diverse range of artist. Clients include Kranky, Domino, Warner Bros, Sony, Victory, Drive Thru Records, Island, Sumerian, Cartesian, Vagrant, to name a few.
Today MonsterLab has grown to become a two room mastering facility located in the capital of pop music, Stockholm Sweden. The second room is occupied by Jonas Ekstrom of Mastertone.se who is always around to offer a strong cup of coffee, and good conversation.

Mohammed Azharuddeen age, hometown, cricket stats and other details
Mohammed Azharuddeen blasted a 37-ball century against the Mumbai cricket team
Vinay Chhabria
Mohammed Azharuddeen blew away the Mumbai bowling attack at the Wankhede Stadium in a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match on Wednesday (January 13). Azharuddeen's century powered the Kerala cricket team to an 8-wicket win over the hosts.
The Mumbai cricket team set a target of 197 runs for their rivals, riding on Aditya Tare, Suryakumar Yadav, and Yashasvi Jaiswal's excellent starts. Tare emerged as their top-scorer with a 31-ball 42.
All-rounder Shivam Dubey scored 26 runs off 13 deliveries, while Siddhesh Lad hit a 12-ball 21 as Mumbai reached 196/7 in their 20 overs. Jalaj Saxena and KM Asif picked up three wickets each for Kerala.
In reply, Robin Uthappa and Mohammed Azharuddeen provided a magnificent start to the Kerala cricket team. While Uthappa lost his wicket in the tenth over, Azharuddeen attacked the opposition bowlers and completed his maiden T20 hundred off just 37 deliveries.
Fans have lauded the youngster for his brilliant performance in the 2021 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Here are some exciting things you need to know about Mohammed Azharuddeen.
Mohammed Azharuddeen age
Wah Azharudeen , behtareen !
To score like that against Mumbai was some effort. 137* of 54 and finishing the job on hand. Enjoyed this innings.#SyedMushtaqAliT20 pic.twitter.com/VrQk5v8PPB
Mohammed Azharuddeen was born on March 22, 1994. He will celebrate his 27th birthday in March.
Mohammed Azharuddeen hometown
Mohammed Azharuddeen was born in Thalangara region of Kerala's Kasaragod Town. His eldest sibling wanted the family to name him after former Indian cricket team skipper Mohammad Azharuddin.
Mohammed Azharuddeen cricket stats
I had seen an extraordinary player called Mohd Azharuddin many years ago. Now I am seeing another by the same name. Wow, he can play some shots!
— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) January 13, 2021
Mohammed Azharuddeen is a right-handed wicket-keeper batsman. He made his domestic cricket debut for Kerala in a first-class match against Goa on November 15, 2015. Since then, he has played 22 first-class games, 24 List-A matches, and 20 T20s.
Speaking of his record in the T20s, Azharuddeen's highest score in this format was 47, heading into the match against Mumbai. However, he broke multiple records to register his second domestic century across all formats for Kerala.
The IPL franchises definitely noted the youngster's performances and might show interest in him at the upcoming auction.

Burel Mountain Originals products have a very special soul resulting from their origins and the way they are produced.
It all starts with pure wool from sheeps raised outdoors on the slopes of Serra da Estrela mountains. Wool that is sheared manually by the shepherds who raise them and then is handled and washed manually as well. Then this wool is transformed into burel, in a process that takes several phases all made at Burel Factory, our factory in operation since 1947, that today still produces using the same machines and traditional equipment. After the transformation of the wool into burel, there is another one: the transformation of burel into pure design.
Most of the process is done manually, the creation of these pieces is based on proposals made by trendy designers and put into practice by our seamstresses who continue to employ soul and love to the product. But it's not only this that give us prominence in the market: our colors, especially those created exclusively by us, differentiate us and make us unique, special and with almost infinite capacity of personalization of any product we sell.
The whole process is done in a sustainable way. It takes time, dedication and commitment and harmony with the nature.
Today we are striding towards an awareness of the future and for the certainty that sustainability is the way forward. The natural and the biological are no longer just trends to become lifestyles. In addition there is a growing appreciation of what is handmade, and with attention to the details and the needs of discovering the origins. To this comes the constant evolution of design trends and the exploration of new colors.
Burel Mountain Originals is this. And being this we believe that, not only do we follow the current trends but, in many cases, we dictated them.

Phenotypic and genotypic characters of strains of Neosartorya spinosa and related taxa were analysed. N. spinosa, Neosartorya botucatensis and Neosartorya paulistensis had identical partial β-tubulin and calmodulin gene sequences and could not be differentiated on macro- and micro-morphological characteristics, including by scanning electron microscopy. Based on partial β-tubulin and calmodulin gene sequences and ascospore morphology, two separate groups are distinguished and are proposed as novel species. Neosartorya laciniosa sp. nov. has microtuberculate ascospores with two bent crests and two distinct equatorial rings of small projections. Neosartorya coreana sp. nov. has rugose to weak reticulate ascospores with two often bent crests, but without the equatorial rings of small projections. The type strain of N. laciniosa is CBS 117721T (=NRRL 35589T=KACC 41657T) and the type strain of N. coreana is CBS 117059T (=NRRL 35590T=KACC 41659T).

White House Releases Drug Strategy
Yesterday the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) released its first national strategy since this administration has been in office. Newly confirmed Director Jim Carroll made the announcement.
Read National Drug Control Strategy
The ONDCP's national strategy is in line with policies already announced by the Department of Health and Human Services and does not vary greatly from the previous strategy under former President Obama. It focuses primarily on treatment, prevention, and stopping the flow of illegal drugs.
The plan endorses HHS guidelines limiting the use of prescription opioids among chronic pain patients. It supports those limitations for acute and post-surgical pain, particularly, for patients with a history of Substance Use Disorder (SUD). It also calls for more research on viable non-opioid alternatives for treating pain.
ONDCP touted the administration's media campaign as a helpful tool to educate young people regarding the risks of opioids and other drugs. ONDCP is recommending that the campaign be expanded to other target populations and other types of substances.
Despite the fact that billions of dollars have been allocated to law enforcement and treatment in the past few years, drug overdose deaths exceeded 72,000 in 2017, which was the highest on record.
The National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers reaffirms our pledge to work with ONDCP and Congress on policies to help reduce the stigma and increase access to treatment for all SUD patients.

Tesla Quietly Delivered Dozens of Model S & X in Germany in November
Photo: Businesblog
Tesla quietly delivered dozens of Model S and Model X in Germany in November. While there have been no reports from private customers, Model S vehicles have been seen on numerous occasions in Germany, and on the roads and Superchargers of other countries.
Today, the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamtes (KBA) released German car sales results for November. While everyone was mostly paying attention to the number of Model 3 and Model Y deliveries, Tesmanian noticed something interesting. The data showed that Tesla sold dozens of Model S and Model X in the country. On the list of registrations, we can see that the manufacturer sold 35 Model X and 106 Model S. Obviously, these are new cars, but it remains unclear whether they are the Plaid version or the Long Range. According to information from the company's local stores, Tesla planned to mainly deliver Plaid versions, but Long Range deliveries in 2022 were also planned.
An examination of the posts on the local TFF forum showed that none of the members reported having received delivery, and the earliest delivery date was only set for early December. However, one member reported seeing a Model S Plaid with Munich numbers in Munich in November. Another member reported seeing two white Model S Plaid in Switzerland. In addition, the cars have also been seen earlier in Germany and the Netherlands.
At the moment, the situation remains unclear, but the cars listed as sold in Germany cannot be units for stores. In addition, it seems that Tesla would like to hold official events on the occasion of the delivery of new vehicles to Europe. At the moment, the most likely option seems to be that these could be cars delivered to company employees in Europe.

Economic concepts and analysis have taken a fundamental place in the field of competition law over the years. In modern antitrust litigation, the soundness of the economic methods adopted by national competition authorities in their examinations, and the relevance of the economic studies submitted by companies' legal representatives in support of their cases, are subject to the scrutiny of national judges.
This seminar aims to familiarise national judges with basic economic concepts and the legal and procedural challenges they may face when applying them in competition law cases due to the increased relevance of economic analysis across all fields of antitrust law.
The two-day seminar will provide national judges with specific knowledge and practice related to competition economics in order to enhance their confidence when faced with economic notions and economic based arguments, and to help them communicate more effectively with economic court experts and economic expert witnesses.
The first day will begin by addressing the fundamental notions in market definition that need to be grasped by the participants (e.g., supply and demand, elasticity, substitutability, basic intuition of HMTand CLA). It will then continue to explore one of the key concepts of antitrust economics: market power, determined through the identification of dominance and abuses thereof. The economic tools used in the assessment of antitrust issues, such as in cases dealing with technological markets and sharing-economy activities, will also be examined.
The second day will be dedicated to the principles and procedures governing the assessment of economic evidence (i.e., inter alia, data, reports, studies). (i) The standard of review and the standard of proof applicable to such type of evidence will be examined; (ii) further certain concepts linked to specific types of infringements willbe clarified; and (iii) suggestions on how to make economic analysis instrumental and manageable in court despite the existence of procedural challenges will be provided.
The training will conclude by focusing on the use of economic evidence in the context of damages claims. This theme hasbeen chosen to wrap-up the session given the fact that such litigation proceedings may heavily rely on this type of evidence and national judges are likely to be faced with an increasing number of actions for damages since the implementation of Directive 2014/104/EU.
The seminar will rely on active participation through group exercises and will require personal engagement throughout the two-day training.
The seminar is open to national judges, prosecutors, apprentice national judges and the staff of the judges' offices of national courts dealing with competition law in EU member countries and Albania.
A good command of English is an essential condition of registration. Participation will be completely free of charge. The costs will be covered by EU and GVH funds.
The national judicial training centres of the following countries have offered to directly participate in the selection of applicants: Croatia, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovenia and Bulgaria. Please contact your national training centre for more information if you would like to register from any of these countries.
If your country is not listed above, please send your registration form via email directly to Andrea Dalmay at the RCC (dalmay.andrea@gvh.hu).
One place will be reserved for one applicant from each EU Member State, but if free spaces remain these will be filled up irrespective of nationality. We will decide about the applications on the basis of the individuals' work experience and the group's composition, as we would like to have a heterogeneous group in order to promote the exchange of ideas and experiences among participants.
The registration deadline is 02 April 2019 Applicants willbe informed by 08 April 2019 if their registration has been accepted.
Participants will be accommodated in a hotel in Budapest which will also serve as the seminar's venue. The event organisers will take care of the reservations and cover the costs of the accommodation for 3 nights on 9, 10, and 11 May 2019. Participants will be invited to a welcome dinner on 10 May and will receive lunch on 10 and 11 May.
Participants shall arrange their own travel, and their travel costs (economy class) will be reimbursed by the event organisers after the seminar. The cost of local transportation (taxi, airport shuttle, public transport) and the cost of travel insurance will not be reimbursed. Please note that a condition of reimbursement is actual participation in the entire seminar.

Extreme Heat at Olympics Raises Health Concerns
Jul 26, 2021 2:16AM EDT Home
The 2020 Summer Olympics kicked off in Tokyo on Friday and there are already signs the toughest part of the competition may just be the extreme heat and humidity in what is expected to be the hottest Olympics on record.
Temperatures in Tokyo this time of year are usually in the high 80's, but a heat wave is pushing temperatures into the 90s. The heat index on Saturday made it feel like 100°F and humidity levels were above 80% on Sunday. Temperatures in July and August are 5.15°F/2.7°C warmer than they were last time Tokyo hosted the games in 1964, and on average, there are eight more days of 95-plus-degree weather.
Athletes are feeling the heat already: ahead of the Opening Ceremony on Friday, Russian Archer Svetlana Gomboeva collapsed during a qualifying event due to the heat. The Tennis tournament, which began Saturday, was also affected by the heat, as Russian player Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova required a medical timeout after feeling dizzy due to the heat. Then, several athletes participating in the triathlon, which finished Monday morning, had to be helped off the track due to overheating.
Extreme heat is now the deadliest weather event, and it is only getting worse as the planet continues warming. Despite this, currently, the International Olympic Committee doesn't take climate change into consideration when selecting host cities. Japan's proposal to host the 2020 games, for example, claimed "this period provides an ideal climate for athletes to perform their best" because of its "many days of mild and sunny weather."

The Butterfly Changes its Spots — Eyespots, that is
Entomology Today November 12, 2014 Leave a Comment
During the wet season, the Bycyclus anyana butterfly has large, bright eyespots that help it survive against praying mantid attacks (left). During the dry season (right), it has small, dull eyespots that make it harder to be detected by birds.
Eyespots are one of nature's favorite forms of misdirection, shared by fish, frogs, birds, and many insects. Aside from deflecting attack, they can also be used as a "startle" mechanism, being flashed just long enough to delay attack briefly and allow a species to escape. In addition, they can also be used for camouflage, providing protection by making an animal less detectable.
Recent research has shown that one species of butterfly, Bycyclus anyana, uses eyespots in two different ways. The study, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, shows that B. anyana changes the color and intensity of its eyespots according to the season and the types of predator it is likely to face.
Bycyclus anyana produces about five generations a year during both wet and dry seasons in its native habitat. Through a process scientists call "phenotypic plasticity," the same genes can produce two different eyespot patterns in the adults. Warm temperatures of the wet season create large and bright eyespots, while cool temperatures common in the dry season produce dull and small eyespots.
During the wet season, predatory insects such as praying mantids are their greatest enemy, and the butterflies' large eyespots make colorful targets for attack, sort of like a matador waving a cape to distract a charging bull into attacking the wrong thing. The showy eyespots cause the mantids to attack a butterfly's wings instead of the more vulnerable body or head. The wings are badly damaged, but the insect can escape and live to reproduce, as the following video shows.
"Having the right type of eyespot in the right season allowed the butterflies to live long enough to lay eggs and have more offspring in the next generation," said Katy Prudic, lead author of the study and a researcher with the Department of Integrative Biology in the College of Science at Oregon State University. "With the wrong eyespot at the wrong time, they were quickly annihilated by the mantids."
However, during the dry season, most mantids and other insect predators are dead, but birds abound and the butteflies change their spots accordingly. Instead of using large, colorful eyespots to deflect attacks, they instead sport small, dull eyespots which makes them more difficult to detect.
"Color pattern has always been a form of protection against predators in nature," Prudic said. "It can take the form of camouflage, mimicry, delaying or redirecting attacks. But studies that observed and hypothesized about such changes have been difficult to document in controlled experiments such as this."

It wasn't until I was in pastry school that I first learned what a French macaron was. They are delightful, chewy almond cookies that also happen to be extremely addictive. The flavor combinations span from classic vanilla buttercream to foie gras or curry fillings. Sometimes I'll make carrot powder from dehydrated carrots and add it to the recipe to make 'carrot cake' macarons with a cream cheese filling. They are very versatile and a great palette for creativity.
In the last two years it's been fun watching them grow in popularity. I am always in support of products that utilize traditional French pastry techniques because many American pastries and desserts these days are the bi-product of so many artificial ingredients and shortcuts.
They are also a bit more involved to make than the always-popular cupcake, but that makes the whole process even more rewarding.
At altitude, I have found that my French macaron recipes passed along to me by my chef mentors are still successful. I have used variations of these recipes at the restaurant, and my red velvet macaron was even featured in Saveur magazine's January 2011 issue.
So I'm going to do something that I don't do very often, and that's share one of my more prized recipes. I hate being discouraged when trying recipes, and no one else should have to be either. Especially for something as tasty as a French macaron.
The recipe below is for chocolate macarons. These ones were filled with a white chocolate key lime ganache, but virtually any filling you desire can be used. If you wish to make an almond macaron, for instance, use confectioner's sugar in place of the cocoa powder.
Preheat your oven to 300 F. In the bowl of an electric mixer, use the whisk attachment to whip the egg whites and sugar to create firm peaks.
Meanwhile, sift the almond flour, confectioner's sugar, and cocoa powder to remove any lumps. You want the macaron to have a smooth, shiny shell.
When the egg whites and sugar are whipped, fold the dry mixture into the whites. Continue folding in the same direction, until the mixture looks like 'lava'. It will be shiny, slightly runny, and fall on top of itself when you lift a spatula from the batter. You want it to be thin enough that you can pipe it without straining your wrist muscles, but not so thin it runs out of the pastry bag.
Scoop the batter into a pastry bag fitted with a round tip and pipe quarter-sized bulbs on parchment-lined baking sheets. Place another baking sheet underneath and whack it on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Place both sheets in the oven (the double baking sheet technique gives your macarons an even, beautiful 'foot'). Bake for 10-11 minutes. The macarons will need to cool before you can remove them easily from the parchment. If you try to take the off when they are still warm, you will rip the tops off and leave the 'bellies' behind.
Sandwich with your desired filling and refrigerate the macarons for at least 12 hours. The almonds in the macaron will absorb moisture from the filling and create that signature chewiness we all love about French macarons. The longer they mature in the refrigerator the chewier and softer they will get. Patience! But it is well worth it.
Living in Albuquerque creates altitude angst with any new recipe! I have been making macarons with success and would love to try your recipe, since it is so straight forward and does not require a scale. But there are a few questions. What size eggs do you use and do you age the whites? Do you add brown and red color to the chocolate and how much? Liquid or powder? Do you let them sit out to dry before baking?
I have looked for the issue of Saveur, but have not found it. In October I had my birthday at Grand Vefour in Paris and the mignardise did include tiny macrons. Dare I say that mine taste as good or better???!!!! The same for Laudree. However they have cassis flavor that is spectacular. The filling is a cassis gelee. It would be fun to figure out that recipe!
Would you happen to have this recipe using weight measurements? I've become accustomed to using a kitchen scale for baking. 🙂 Thank you!!!
I also live in ABQ NM and been experimenting with flavors and colors…no such luck.
I did however do some troubleshooting and found that the eggs don't have to be aged. I use large eggs however I do highly recommend using a scale. I got one at Target for like 5 dollars. A cheap investment for baking. It is more precise and different flours have different weights so its good to know EXACTLY how much you are putting in.
Here is what I use…..
Joyce and Monique! I also live in beautiful Albuquerque. If either one of you has any additional tips, please do share!
I also live in Albuquerque. However I go to school in Omaha and first attempted to make macaroons there and had some success. I am back in Abq and am experimenting but keep having hallow shells. Any advice would be fantastic!
Hi Emmie- I would suggest whipping the egg whites less. You could also experiment with letting the macaron shells rest for 30 minutes before baking.
Too wide of a foot spreading and hollow shell -help.
I need to make these for an snniversay and having tried this recipe now 3 times I Ned some help.
how many macarons do the the ingredients make exactly?
I haven't made this recipe in awhile but I think I used to get around 30 macarons (60 shells).
I also live in ABQ and am trying to make macarons for my graduation party. I was wondering if you would be willing to share the recipe for the red velvet macarons in the picture?
Hi Patience, just add red food coloring and a little cocoa powder to this recipe. Happy baking!
Live just outside of Denver (about 6200 ft) and I keep having the same problem — the macarons rise out instead of up. I've made them multiple times with the same result, even after piping them and then leaving them out to set about 30 minutes before baking. Help!
Hi Quinn, sounds like you may be overmixing them. Here is another recipe I use sometimes, it has a different method, which may yield better results for you: http://www.marthastewart.com/318387/french-macaroons. Happy baking!
I was on a macaroon quest last year – but every batch ended in failure. I too live in Albuquerque and it finally dawned on me perhaps it was an altitude issue. So I'm really looking forward to trying this recipe & tips.
How can I adjust the recipe to make it less sweet?
Hi Tram, the only way to make this recipe less sweet is to alter the filling you use. Try salted caramel, a bittersweet chocolate ganache, or a bitter orange marmalade.
I made these today in Las Vegas/Henderson, NV and they turned out great! I have to say I am pretty proud of them considering they were my first attempt ever.
I am looking forward to making this recipe in another high-elevation town in Colorado, but I would like to add food coloring and some rose water flavoring instead of cocoa powder. Should I alter the base recipe at all? Thank you for your help!
Hi Megan, I would add a powder-based food coloring. Use powdered sugar in place of the cocoa and just a few drops of the rose water.
Hi – I was SO excited to see you post a recipe for the tricky (at best) macaron. One of your favorites as well. But while you have shared the ingredients and standard US measurements, you did not include weight measurements which, from my understanding, a MUST when making macarons. I am at 7,500: will the standard measurements work without the weight measurements. I have worked with macarons at sea level and even there, it is a tricky business. I would appreciate your input!
Hi Jackie, the tricky thing about blogging can be relating to your audience. Home bakers typically do not own kitchen scales and rely on standard US measurements. This recipe has been tested using these measurements and I wouldn't post if it didn't yield results 😉 The most important thing in making macarons is your folding process- that is the step that must be precise- not too much nor too little.
French Macarons sound delectable…My mother was from Paris and I've never had one…They sound so yum…!
I've tried a million different high altitude recipes for these delicious treats and have not found one to work except this one! Living in Colorado is hard for someone who LOVES to bake because I'm terrible at adjusting the ingredients for recipes. I did add just the smallest bit of cream of tartar as my baking friend said that might help with the altitude here. But thank you!!!

Top 10 Linux financial tools
By Jack Wallen in 10 Things , in Open Source on June 24, 2008, 7:12 AM PST
Many people don't realize the wealth of applications available for Linux — and that includes financial software. Jack Wallen introduces 10 Linux apps that will meet your financial needs, whether you just want a digital replacement for your checkbook or you're looking for a full-blown accounting package for your organization.
Many people don't realize the wealth of applications that are available for Linux. I am asked all the time about X and/or Y application on Windows and whether there's an equivalent on Linux. Most of the time the answer is yes.
The arena of finance is no exception. Plenty of outstanding financial applications are available for the Linux operating system. From personal finance to business finance, there is an application for nearly every need. Let's take a look at the top Linux financial applications.
Note: This information is also available as a PDF download.
#1: Gnucash
I start off with this application simply because it's my financial application of choice. Gnucash is released under the GPL so it is fully open sourced and is available for Linux, BSD, Solaris, OS X, and Windows. Gnucash features double-entry accounting, stock/bond/mutual fund accounts, small-business accounting, customer/vendor/job invoicing, QIF/OFX/HBCI Import/Transaction matching, reports/graphs, scheduled transactions, and financial calculations. Gnucash is incredibly easy to use and handles multiple accounts. Importing QIF files is simple, and entering transactions is intuitive. Gnucash can export to TXF format for tax preparation programs.
#2: KMyMoney
This is a finance application often included in KDE. KMyMoney has a user-interface similar to Quicken. In fact, those familiar with Quicken will find themselves right at home with KMyMoney. The biggest difference between KMyMoney and Quicken is that KMyMoney can't communicate directly with financial institutions. You can import QIF and Gnucash data, but the only format that can be exported is QIF. KMyMoney is also licensed under the GPL.
#3: Moneydance
Moneydance is proprietary software that's available for Linux, OS X, and Windows. Moneydance is one of the more fully featured financial applications available for Linux and includes such features as online banking and bill payment, budget management, scheduled/recurring payments, portfolio tracking, report generation, Quicken and Money data importation, encryption, and international support. Moneydance does require Java. Fortunately, there are versions of Moneydance that come prepackaged with Java, so those who are a bit weary of the task of installing Java (especially on a Linux machine) don't have to worry. The interface is very intuitive. Moneydance costs $39.99 per license. There is no corporate or individual licensing.
#4: Appgen MyBooks
If you're looking for commercial or accounting level software, this might be just what you need. Written for Linux (Linspire, to be exact), OS X, and Windows, this software package is double-entry and fully audited and conforms to the standards of GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles.) MyBooks can be purchased as a single-user license, two-user license, and 10-user license. It can be set up as a single system or as a client/server network system. A free trial version of MyBooks is available. This package also handles inventory (including perpetual inventory), service-based businesses, charting, statements, batch entries, ODBC, and vouchers.
#5: Nolapro
Don't let the free price tag of Nolapro fool you. This is for serious business. Although not open source, this package is free to use in any size environment and handles everything from inventory, accounts receivable, general ledger, POS, vendors, customers, B2B, online shopping cart, and payroll. Nolapro does require a database installation, but other than that, installation is simple. Nolapro is designed to be a network installation so the server can be accessed by multiple clients via browser. The license is unlimited users, unlimited companies, and unlimited books. For personal finance, you might want to skip Nolapro — its feature list will probably overwhelm you.
#6: Linux Business Accounting Systems BasicBooks
Linux Business Accounting Systems offers BasicBooks General Ledger for Linux. This application features complete financial reporting, support for all decimal-denominated currency, and unlimited transactions. BasicBooks uses the PostgreSQL database and is easy to use and learn. One of the nicest features of this package is that transaction databases can be loaded into spreadsheets for report creation. System requirements are low (Linux OS with GTK+ library and PostgreSQL; the program requires only 373K bytes). BasicBooks costs $20 per CPU and is available in binary package form (for RedHat, Fedora, SuSe, Ubuntu, Vector, and others), which includes the user reference manual.
#7: Quasar Accounting
This particular package is part of a full-fledged POS package that can be run as stand-alone accounting software. Quasar is not open source (although a purchased commercial license provides full access to the source code) and is available for Linux and Windows. Features include international support, outstanding GUI, simple data entry, error correction, backup/restore, online help, multi-company support, data import, mailing labels, user-level security, chart of accounts, statement printing, journal entries, customer quotes, sales orders, invoicing, multiple taxes, discounting, price management, accounts receivable, and cash reconciliation. You can download an evaluation version. A free single-computer edition is also available.
#8: SQL-Ledger
This is one of the oldest Linux accounting/ERP systems. SQL-Ledger is a double-entry accounting system that has an amazing list of features, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, voucher system, general ledger, inventory control, billing, time cards, POS, check printing, purchase/sales orders, taxes, multi-user/company, audit control, SQL server backend, templates, customers, vendors, chart of accounts, and financial statements. SQL-Ledger is often considered the "best of" for Linux accounting. Obviously, this is another package that's far more than a financial tool. Someone looking for single-user financial software might want to look elsewhere. But if you need a small to midsize financial solution, you should look here first.
#9: Rapid Graphing Software for Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities
If you don't have or follow stocks/stock portfolios, you won't know what Rapid is for. Features include candlesticks, OBV, moving averages, Macd, Stochastics, RSI, Wilder DMI, Fibonacci, and Slope. Rapid will import text data and includes multiple journals that allow you to record your trades, graph trading performance and calculate totals for tax purposes. The Linux version of Rapid can print and share charts over the Net. Rapid is free to use and simple to install.
#10: Crossover Office
Those of you who can't live without Quicken or Money can always use Crossover Office and install either of those applications. You will have to pay for both pieces of software, but if you need Quicken's (or Money's) features, you're in luck.
Linux can handle nearly every financial need you can think of. Whether you're a single user wanting a simple digital replacement for your checkbook or a company looking for a full-blown accounting package, Linux has you covered.

The Divine Fury (2019) Korean Supernatural Martial Arts Movie
By whitesnake, April 20, 2019 in Korean Cinema
whitesnake 2,219
King of the Legfighters
South Korean film writer and director Kim Joo-Hwan (Midnight Runners) has a new supernatural martial arts movie, The Divine Fury (aka Saja), getting a 2019 release. It has already been sold well internationally, to markets in Europe and Asia. "Yong-hu, a world champion martial artist who believes in no God, only himself, suddenly develops stigmata on his palms. Visiting a church in hopes of healing the stigmata, he ends up saving Father AHN, who falls into danger while performing an exorcism. In this way he learns of the power of the stigmata.

I took a chance on this one and thought it was bloody excellent. A dark-but-not-too dark exorcism thriller with the right amount of horror elements and satisfying action.
The old priest was a standout to me as, admittedly, some of the other characters were on the weaker side. But the story, while simple, was enjoyable enough.
The film gets slightly goofy with the MMA demon fight towards the end but it's damn entertaining.
Dis I know what I needed a Korean handsome boy MMA exorcist in my life? No. But I'm happy I have one. Great stuff.
