He told The Independent that claims issued through Isis' Amaq news agency had been correct in the past but Las Vegas seems "extremely fishy".

Paddock, who had cameras looking outside his room, stopped shooting at the crowds below and fired through the door at Campos, blasting him in the right leg.

Campos was responding to a door alarm on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel on the Vegas Strip while the shooting was happening.
Boston police say the investigation into the Las Vegas gunman turned up evidence that referenced venues in Boston , including Fenway Park.

Super toll, alles gut geklappt, sehr informativ und super netter Pilot. Danke, jederzeit wieder.
It was great!! The pilot was so friendly and did such a good job of pointing things around the tour. I will definitely do it again. Wish I could afford to stay up at least 30 minutes!!
I booked this event for my step-son's birthday! He and his dad had a great time! Katie was their pilot and she was very professional, yet friendly and engaging! I would highly recommend this. The only downside was that it only lasted for 10 minutes, I thought it would be a bit longer, but my husband said that he thought it was reasonable!

Moong Dal Dhokli, a one pot meal to suffice the need of dal, shaak and roti. Gujarati cuisine has numerous varieties of Dhokli preparations, we enjoy our dhoklis in vegetables are much as we do them in dal and pulses. The Dhokli, which can be termed as a traditional version of pasta are primarily used to increase the quality of vegetables or made when the cook is not in a mood to spend lot of time in the kitchen. Dhokli is seen as a comfort food, one that calls for slurps and naps. A good bowl of dhokli is intoxicating and should never be had if you plan to work after the meal.
Moong or green gram are Gujarati staple. In fact, Wednesdays are reserved for moong. Traditionally, these beans were always had on Wednesdays in any form sprouted, curried, stir fired which ever way, but moong was always on the menu. This tradition of reserving each day for a pulse worked well, the home maker was relieved from asking the most nagging question, "what should be the menu for the day??"😉 Thursdays were chana dal days, Saturdays were for Urad dal, Fridays for kala chana/dried black chickpeas while Tuesdays for moth beans. These indeed were some very wise traditions. It ensured we had our share of nutrition and tastes.
The Moong Dal Dhokli recipe shared here combines two very popular foods of Gujarat. Moong and Dhokli. The Dhokli made here is parika dhokli/envelop dhokli where it is folded to make petit triangles that puff up when cooked. Actually there isn't any specific recipe to this dish, ingredients and measures can be adjusted to suit the family's palate. Like all dal preparations the moong dal will need to be balanced in sweetness and sourness, whereas the consistency could be adjusted as preferred.
Wash and coal the moong beans overnight.
Pressure cook the beans until completely cooked. If soaked overnight this should take 3 whistles.
While the moong beans are cooking prepare to knead the Dhokli dough.
In a mixing bowl bring all the ingredients of Dhokli together, add enough water to knead a semi-stiff dough. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, make small small lemon (puri) sized dough balls.
Transfer the cooked moong beans in a large, heavy bottom saucepan. Add 5 cups of water. Add salt, turmeric powder, coriander-cumin seeds powder and allow the dal to simmer on a gentle heat.
As the dal simmers, begin rolling the dhokli.
As you keep rolling the dhokli, go on dropping them in the simmering moong dal.
Take care not to over crowd the mix. If you feel the dhoklis are enough you may stop adding them . It might be the case when not the entire dough would be used.
The air trapped between the folds of the dhokli will make it puff up. The dal mix has to keep boiling gently.
As the Moong dal dhokli cooks, add the jaggery.
Prepare the tempering by heating oil in a small wok/vaghariyu, add cumin seeds, asafetida. Once the cumin seeds sizzle add the chili powder and immediate pour the tempering over the dal.
Add curry leaves. Just when the dhokli feels cooked add the lemon juice.
Balance the flavors as per you taste.
Once the flavors become well pronounced turn off the flame.
Serve the moong dal dhokli with a salad and raita. Rice if you desire.

This gun came from the Red Head Battery.
Blomefield Cast Iron 32-pounder 56-cwt Smoothbore Muzzleloading Gun, weight 56-3-3 (6,359 lbs) under the cascabel. The Carron Company of Falkirk, Scotland (Serial No. corroded, CARRON, 1807) on left trunnion, (32P) on right trunnion, King George III cypher, broad arrow mark, CV, mounted on a concrete stand, Fernhill Cemetery Naval Memorial, No. 2 of 2 on the East side. This gun also came from the Red Head Battery.
The Blomefield Cast Iron 32-pounder 56-cwt Smoothbore Muzzleloading Gun has a length of 9 feet 6 inches. It is the most common 32-pounder in Canada and can be recognized by a reinforcing ring that is slightly raised followed by a definite "step-down" in the barrel just forward of the trunnions heading to the muzzle.
The 1895 Militia Report includes two 32-pounder 63-cwt Guns in Saint John. Other guns in Saint John at that time included one Blomefield Cast Iron 32-pounder 55.5-cwt Gun, one Blomefield Cast Iron 32-pounder 48-50-cwt Gun and five other Blomefield Cast Iron guns that were converted 24-pounder guns, 25-cwt, 32-cwt, 40-cwt, 41-cwt, and 46-cwt. There were no 70-cwt guns There were four Millar Cast Iron 32-pounder guns, the largest of which was 63-cwt. There were two Dundas Cast Iron 32-pounder guns, the largest of which was 58-cwt. According to the Militia report, Saint John also had two (probable Millar pattern Cast Iron 8-inch 65-cwt Smoothbore Shell Guns, and two Millar pattern Cast Iron 68-pounder 95-cwt Smoothbore Guns. These guns were all most likely part of the collection scrapped in 1942. Doug Knight.

6-inch 26-cwt Breechloading Mk. I Howitzer, Reg No. 3237, manufactured at Vickers, Sons and Maxim (VSM) in 1918. It was mounted on carriage No. C2294. The current serial number for the carriage cannot be clarified, but could be C2285, CA920 or C332845. The howitzer had been on display beside the Fort Howe Block House overlooking the harbour of Saint John, but has been completely refurbished. The howitzer was dedicated in 1974 by the Artillery Association and again after being restored and transferred to the Loyal Company Association and the 3rd Field Regiment in Saint John. Joe Jordan, a retired master gunner and chief warrant officer, oversaw the project. The Howitzer is currently on display at Harbour Station.
Other BL 6-inch howitzers that served in Saint John but have been scrapped included: Reg. No. 373, VSM 18, carriage Reg. No. 14770, allocated to 6 Medium Battery in 1933; Reg. No. 616, VSM 18, carriage Reg. No. CA14840, VSM 18, allocated to 4 Medium Battery in 1933; Reg. No. 2916, VSM 18, carriage Reg. No. 921, allocated to 6 Medium Battery in 1933; and Reg. No. 3489, PESW 17, carriage Reg. No. A927, VSM 18, allocated to 4 Medium Battery in 1933.

These numbers have come to light as the restoration of the gun was in progress. Peter spoke with the lead hand on the rebuild and he mentioned that very few pieces needed to be replaced (or re-manufactured), the only noticeable ones being the wheels. He did not have time to make new wooden wheels and so went with the rubber ones that were on it. There were a few bolts he replaced and there is a spindle in the sight that is too corroded to save and must be manufactured.

5.5-inch BL Mk. III Gun on a Mk. I Carriage, weight 1-14-1-0 (12,000 + 1,568 + 28 = 13,624 lbs), Jervis Bay Park. Canada made carriages for these guns during the Second World War, and after the war acquired 85 of them for the RCA. There were four marks of 5.5 inch ordnance although only 3 and, after the Second World War, 4 entered service, and the differences were only minor. There were two marks of carriage where the differences were greater use of welding and less of riveting. The carriages were identical to those used with Ordnance BL 4.5 inch Mark 2. No limber was ever used and the gun fired with its wheels in contact with the ground. Initially, the 5.5 inch gun fired a 100-pound (45 kg) shell, using four charges in two cartridges to give a maximum range table muzzle velocity of 1,675 feet per second (511 m/s) and a maximum range of 16,200 yards (14,800 m).

Gun Battery positions at Partridge Island.
There were several large guns with the Partridge Island Battery which were still in the RCA Gun Battery postions in 1939. It is likely they were melted down post 1942. The Signal Gun was still there in 1945, but buried some time later. About 1987 Harold Wright dug it up after being given ownership by the Coast Guard. Unfortnately, the gun was removed before it could be collected and restored, and its current location is unknown. Harold Wright.
Saint John, HMCS Brunswicker
Cast Iron Smoothbore Swivel Gun, 17th Century, recovered from Fort La Tour, on display inside the main lobby.
Although this type of gun has always been thought to be quite early, some work Kay Smith Brown did a few years ago shows that they were actually made from the late 16th century and through the 17th century. They were made all over Europe though, from the evidence we have at the moment, they appear to be a northern European speciality. A very similar gun, with a cast
bronze barrel, and called a pertriera a braga or a musquet de braga, were a speciality of southern Europe, especially Italy. Do note that museum catalogues, especially old ones, are not always accurate and it is the work from modern work derived from nautical archaeology that has allowed us to be accurate about their dating.
They are not cast but built up from components made from wrought iron and have a very complex design so that, although they look simple (and to some eyes, crude) they are very sophisticated. Wrought-iron guns were actually used throughout Europe until the first decade of the 18th century.
They are, in English sources, called murderers, and were used as anti-personnel weapons especially on ships. Before the
20th century the aim of ship warfare was to kill the crew and capture the ship, not sink it - it was worth a fortune in bounty. Anti-personnel weapons were an important part of a ship's armament. For chapter and verse see Kay Smith Brown's article 'Wrought-iron swivel guns'. In M Bound (ed) The Archaeology of Ships of War. Oswestry, 1995.
It is still a very important and a very early piece in North America. Incidentally there is a similar gun in the Met in New York and one in the Stewart Museum in Montreal.
6-inch H.E.D.C. Mk. II Breechloading Gun, HMCS Niobe. 160 Chesley Drive. Two 6-inch guns from HMCS Niobe were used as Coast Defence guns on Partridge Island, Saint John, during the Second World War. They were obtained by the Partridge Island Research Project in 1982. In 1982 the barrels were dedicated to the gunners and sailors who manned the guns during the war, and again in 1985 during Saint John's Bicentennial. The barrels were returned to the Crown in 2009.

Saint John, 3rd Field Artillery Regiment, RCA
The 3rd Field Artillery Regiment, The Loyal Company, is a Primary Reserve Royal Canadian Artillery (RCA) regiment with a Regimental Headquarters (RHQ) and two Batteries (Bty). The RHQ and one Bty are located in Saint John, at the Barrack Green Armoury, 60 Broadview Ave. Its second Bty, the 89th Field Battery is located in Woodstock. The 3rd Field Artillery Regiment provides indirect fire support (guns and mortars) to the Army.
The current primary piece of artillery in service with 3rd Field Artillery Regiment is the C3 105-mm Howitzer.
On May 4, 1793, the Loyal Company was formed in Saint John in response to the threat of attack by French privateers. In 1838 all artillery Batteries around the province were constituted into the New Brunswick Regiment of Artillery. This makes the Regiment the oldest continuous serving artillery unit in Canada.
The Regiment manned local defences during the War of 1812. Gunners volunteered for service during the Aroostook, or 'Pork 'n Beans' war. In 1866, the St. Andrews Battery, under Captain Osborn, was reformed in preparation against a Fenian attack. In June 1866, Captain Pick's Battery manned the guns at Partridge Island to defend Saint John from Fenian attack. The Carleton Martello Tower and Sand Cove beach were also defended.
The Regiment was placed on active service during the Great War 1914-1918. Over 2000 gunners were sent overseas, including the 3rd Brigade, Canadian Garrison Artillery (CGA), Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF), No. 4 Canadian Siege Battery, CEF, No. 6 Canadian Siege Battery, CEF, the 2nd Divisional Ammunition Column, and re-enforcement drafts of the 9th Siege Battery.
The 3rd (New Brunswick) Coast Brigade, RCA (The Loyal Company of Artillery) was called out on service for local protection duties on 26 August 1939. Details from the brigade were also mobilized for active service under the designation 3rd (New Brunswick) Coast Brigade, RCA, CASF (Details) on 1 September 1939. The details called out on active service were disbanded on 31 December 1940 and the brigade mobilized an active service unit designated 3rd (New Brunswick) Coast Brigade, RCA, CASF on 1 January 1941. It was redesignated 3rd (New Brunswick) Coast Regiment, RCA, CASF on 1 August 1942. The regiment provided coastal artillery support as part of the defences of Saint John, New Brunswick. The regiment was disbanded on 1 September 1944.

"I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused," Graham Greene's narrator Fowler remarks of Alden Pyle, the eponymous "Quiet American" of what is perhaps the most controversial novel of his career. Pyle is the brash young idealist sent out by Washington on a mysterious mission to Saigon, where the French Army struggles against the Vietminh guerrillas.
As young Pyle's well-intentioned policies blunder into bloodshed, Fowler, a seasoned and cynical British reporter, finds it impossible to stand safely aside as an observer. But Fowler's motives for intervening are suspect, both to the police and himself, for Pyle has stolen Fowler's beautiful Vietnamese mistress.

OECD Skills Strategy Implementation Guidance for Latvia : Developing Latvia's Education Development Guidelines 2021-2027Buy this book
OECD-Latvia collaboration on the OECD Skills Strategy project
Building on the OECD Skills Strategy Assessment and Recommendations phase, the Implementation Guidance phase has supported Latvia in the development of the Education Development Guidelines 2021-2027 (EDG). A whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach has been applied in Latvia involving all relevant ministries and levels of governments, as well as a wide range of stakeholders in order to build a shared understanding of which policy actions and indicators should be included in the EDG. The OECD has used international, national and other data sources, information gathered from government and stakeholder representatives, as well as expertise from across the OECD, including the Centre for Skills team, the Indicators of Education Systems team and Foresight team. The project drew upon concrete examples of education strategy development from other countries to provide important lessons for Latvia. This process provided input and shaped the recommendations featured in this current report.
The findings and recommendations of the Implementation Guidance Phase, as featured in this "OECD Skills Strategy Latvia Implementation Guidance: Developing Latvia's Education Development Guidelines 2021-2027" report, have been a major input to the development of Latvia's EDG. As Latvia's EDG was developed concurrently with the Implementation Guidance Phase, many of the findings and recommendations of this report have already been taken into consideration in Latvia's EDG. Some recommendations also go beyond the development of the EDG and are relevant for the implementation of the EDG.
The OECD was asked to provide input to Latvia's EDG in two key areas:
1. Guidance on developing Latvia's EDG and selecting EDG policy actions (Chapter 2)
Latvia's EDG is a strategic document that describes Latvia's objectives for education and skills policy in the medium term, as well as the policy actions it plans to implement to achieve these objectives. The benefits of the EDG being well-defined include aligning policy actions with policy objectives, providing clarity about what needs to be done by whom and by when, communicating the priorities, and holding all relevant actors accountable for implementing the policy actions and achieving the policy objectives.
A number of trends shape the skills needs and opportunities of Latvia. Megatrends such as globalisation, technological progress, population ageing, and migration, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic, are driving significant changes in skills needs in society and the economy. Given this context, the OECD provides guidance on the implications of this policy context for the selection of policy actions that advance the objectives of the EDG.
In developing the EDG, Latvia has considered the proposed policy actions of the "OECD Skills Strategy Latvia Recommendations and Assessment" report, which were developed based on input from a broad range of actors, as well as an in-depth assessment of Latvia's education and skills system. As the context has significantly changed due to the unforeseen COVID-19 pandemic, this report provides further complementary guidance on the policy actions that Latvia should consider taking to respond to the pressures that the pandemic has generated. This complementary guidance has also been considered by Latvia in developing the EDG.
This report also features four further suggestions for how Latvia could develop and implement its EDG:
Include policy actions at the system level. Give consideration to system level policy actions in order to address challenges that affect the entire education and skills system and not just a specific level of education.
Define responsibilities and timelines. Identify the responsible actors for a policy action based on their capacity and disposition towards supporting the policy action and collaborating in its implementation. Create a timeline with short-term and long-term policy actions.
Identify funding implications. For each policy action, estimate the required financial resources, identify the responsible funding party, and assess the funding source sustainability.
Strengthen strategic planning. Consider multiple possible future scenarios, assess their risks, and strengthen the overall resilience of the education and skills system to adapt to future changes.
2. Guidance on improving Latvia's indicator system and selecting EDG indicators (Chapter 3)
Latvia's EDG needs to be accompanied by a robust indicator system to monitor implementation progress. This would provide reliable, accurate and timely information on the human and financial resources invested in skills, how education and skills systems operate and evolve, and the returns on investments in skills.
An assessment of Latvia's current indicator system reveals gaps in Latvia's ability to measure progress towards the achievement of its objectives. For example, indicators could be developed to track funding for lifelong learning, distinguish between drop-outs due to emigration and for other reasons, monitor student progression through education, measure the quality of early childhood education and care, and provide additional background information on students, such as their home language and disability status.
This report presents a list of potential indicators for the EDG and an overview of further considerations. The OECD, together with government and stakeholder representatives, reviewed a total of 181 possible indicators and then prioritised between 10-12 potential indicators across each of the five levels of education, for a total of 54 potential indicators. Specific suggestions are made for improving certain indicators and developing alternative indicators. Many of these indicators have been adopted in the EDG.
This report features five further suggestions for how Latvia could strengthen its indicator system:
Link indicator databases. Facilitate data exchanges between indicator databases through a unique identification number for each individual, which allows data on this individual to be linked across various databases.
Improve the quality of indicator data. Strengthen data validation processes by conducting regular quality checks of the data collection system and adopting digital technologies.
Benchmark indicators. Set the target value to be sufficiently ambitious to inspire and mobilise action, but at the same time not so unrealistic as to demotivate actors. Consider adopting annual targets for some indicators.
Raise capacity to make use of indicator data. Support research institutions to provide capacity to fully use the available national and international indicators.
Improve the dissemination of indicator data. Improve the dissemination of information generated by the indicators through a user-friendly platform serving a wide audience of users.

Dan Hogan at Willis Case Golf Course in Denver in 2015.
State Loses a Golf Icon
September 21, 2021 by Cga Test
Colorado Golf Hall of Famer and longtime golf historian Dan Hogan passes away at age 90
By Gary Baines – 9/21/2021
Dan Hogan — Colorado Golf Hall of Famer, gentleman, state golf historian extraordinaire — passed away on Monday in Cortez, 11 days short of turning 91.
Hogan was an outstanding amateur golfer in his prime, and he went on to serve the game in a variety of roles, including as a volunteer leader of the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame, into which he was inducted in 1998. He was a longtime regular on the CGHOF board of directors, and served as president of the organization for four years.
"Colorado golf has lost an icon," Gary Potter, a fellow Colorado Golf Hall of Famer, said on Tuesday.
Hogan was still playing the game semi-regularly into his 80s, but a serious medical episode sidelined him in recent years.
Hogan was one of the leading historians of Colorado golf and for decades functioned as an unofficial historian/archivist for the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame.
A railroad man by trade for 30 years, Hogan also served at various times as the local chairman of the USGA's Public Links Committee, on the CGA's board of directors, and on the Denver mayor's Golf Advisory Committee in the 1960s and '70s.
And his extensive collection of golf books will live on as it was donated to the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame, then passed along in 2019 to form the Dan Hogan Library at the CGA offices in Greenwood Village. Well over 1,000 books are now in that collection.
At the library's grand opening, just over two years ago, CGA executive director Ed Mate paid tribute to both Hogan and his books.
"Every time I look at this collection, I think of Dan," Mate said at the time. "It's an embodiment of him, his love of the game, his lifetime in the game. You see such an array of titles over a long period of time. He collected them all personally. And it's reflected in this.
"To me, if it wasn't Dan Hogan's collection, it frankly wouldn't have the same meaning. That's what makes it meaningful. It's an incredible collection. They were thoughtfully collected and accepted. To me, it's Dan Hogan. That's what puts a smile on my face every time I walk by these. Every time I pull a book off the shelf I can't help but think of him."
On the course, the former World War II-era caddie at Park Hill was one of the better Colorado public course players of his day. The onetime Regis University golfer won the Denver muni links championships three times, and claimed club champion titles 10 times at City Park, twice at Los Verdes and once at Foothills. He played in the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship six times — they were a "grand experience," he said — the British Amateur twice during the 1970s, including once at the birthplace of golf, the Old Course at St. Andrews; and the Trans-Miss twice in the late 1950s in years when Jack Nicklaus won the event.
Hogan kind of evolved over time into his longstanding role as one of the leading historians of Colorado golf, but in a 2015 conversation he could still remember the first step along the path.
In the mid-1950s, after spending three years serving in Korea with the Navy, Hogan started playing golf regularly at City Park Golf Course in Denver. It was in the clubhouse there, on a work bench, that Hogan discovered six or eight old silver trophies.
One, in particular, drew Hogan's attention as it was from a Denver team championship which City Park had won multiple times in the 1920s. Unfortunately, Hogan said the City Park pro at the time was filling the trophy with some short of shellac — or the like — for use on golf clubs.
Hogan, feeling this was an ignominious use for such a fine old trophy, "confiscated" it — along with the others.
"There was too much history involved there," Hogan noted in 2015 in recalling the incident. "I shined and boiled them and put them on display" at City Park. Nowadays, several of those trophies are part of the collection at the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame Museum at the Riverdale Golf clubhouse in Brighton.
The Dan Hogan Library opened at the CGA offices in 2019.
In 2015, 17 years after being inducted into the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame, Hogan received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the organization. He become just the fifth person on record to have been awarded the LAA after having been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Others who had previously managed that feat were Judy Bell, the first female president of the USGA; Warren Simmons, an outstanding player and former CGA executive director; Maggie Giesenhagen, the CWGA's first executive director who went on to a distinguished career at the USGA; and Dennis Lyon, a longtime manager of golf for the City of Aurora who once served as president of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America.
"It's a very special award to me," Hogan said at the time. "I guess it shows I've been around a long time. But I hope I've made some contributions."
Hogan joked that he'd been on the Hall of Fame board so long because "they never told me to leave". But because the organization in the early years hadn't done much to preserve historical artifacts of Colorado golf, Hogan and others spearheaded a historical committee, and for decades Dan collected items that he believed should be displayed.
Hogan became a close friend of Babe Lind — part of the CGHOF's first class of inductees in 1973 — and collected memorabilia from Babe and his wife, Priscilla. He also got to know another early Hall of Famer, Phyllis Buchanan, late in her life and received a sterling platter from her playing days.
Given that Hogan lived the great majority of his life in Denver — with that stint in Korea during the 1950s being a notable exception — and he crossed paths with many of the top figures in Colorado golf over his 90-plus years, he was an ideal person to preserve some of the state's golf history before it's forgotten.
"I took a hand in bringing in old trophies and that sort of thing, and I made some connections," Hogan said in his usual understated fashion.

The Most Beautiful : My Life With Prince By: Mayte Garcia
Another rocker train-wreck story. Although I always loved Prince from way back in 1980 when he released 'Dirty Mind' there are no books written about the man. Later I found out what a musical genius he was which made me even more interesting than before. I must have watched Purple Rain 1,000 times. Love that entire album.
The irony of someone that built their lives around dancing would be affected by MS is not lost. These two people's lives were doomed from the onset. From Prince 'Courting' Garcia at 16 years old to the loss of they son Amiir to his early death.
Mayte Garcia was a star from early on when she appeared on "That's Incredible" belly dancing while balancing s sword on her head. She was an Army brat and while in Spain was essentially forced to attend a Prince concert. She sent Prince a video of her dancing to his music and there began this strange courtship of Prince and this 16 year old girl. The book talks about the horrific news of their first child Amiir which was born with Pfeiffer Syndrome Type 2. It was truly sad to hear that Prince, the man who appeared to have it all, had a son with such a strange disorder. Amiir died 6 days later when they removed him from life support. Mayte was not there for his death since Prince had scheduled it while Mayte was home. After their divorce and estrangement, Prince burned everything in the nursery included Amiir's ashes.
Garcia talks about Prince's faith. What was extremely enlightening to me was that I always held Prince as this spiritual guru of sorts that talked about the afterlife and spirituality. I always thought of him as someone outside the main-stream religion world, turns out I was wrong. He was eventually a Johova's Witness which do not celebrate anything and do not accept most medical life saving procedures.
Prince later courted another woman, Manuela and disconnected from Garcia. Truly a sad story and disheartening. Nothing changes the musical genius of this man and I am truly glad that I was able to follow him throughout his career and a lot of his music plays in the soundtrack of my life. The story is a great story albeit sad. The book is fairly well written although it was obvious that she held back a lot.
R.I.P. Prince, may your music live on for ever.

Diarrhoea is typically a symptom of a bowel infection which is characterised by loose and watery stools three or more times a day. The condition occurs when the lining of the intestine actively secretes fluids or is unable to absorb fluids.
It is possible for diarrhoea to be contagious as viruses are passed between people, or when food or water which is contaminated by viruses or bacteria is consumed. Young children are more likely to suffer from diarrhoea resulting from a result of a viral infection. Rotavirus used to be a common cause however since the introduction of the rotavirus vaccine, the risk of contracting this disease and suffering from severe gastroenteritis has decreased.
Patients who have diarrhoea are advised to drink plenty of fluids such as water or oral rehydration fluids. Drinks which have high sugar contents, such as fruit juices, soft drinks, and sports drinks should be avoided as they can worsen diarrhoea. If the patient is a young baby, breastfeeding and formula feeding should be continued as normal.
It is also recommended that as soon as the patient feels that they can, they should consume dry and bland foods which contain carbohydrates. Foods such as mashed potatoes, pasta, rice and bread are encouraged. Grains, uncooked vegetables, fatty and spicy foods should be avoided. Some patients may find that they are unable to tolerate dairy foods, in which case milk may have to be gradually reintroduced once the diarrhoea has settled.
Remember that the condition can be contagious, so washing hands before eating and preparing food as well as after using the toilet are essential.
Treatment options include oral rehydration fluids and anti-diarrhoeal medicines.
Oral rehydration fluids work by preventing and treating dehydration as they replace lost water and electrolytes. They should be the first choice in preventing and treating dehydration, especially in young and elderly patients. Oral rehydration fluids are available in a variety of options, such as sachets, effervescent tablets and pre-mixed solutions. These contain a special mixture of electrolytes which cannot be restored by drinking water alone. Patients should be encouraged to drink small, frequent sips.
Anti-diarrhoeal medications can help to reduce bowel movements by slowing the gut. Ideally, anti-diarrhoeal medications should be used with oral rehydration fluids, so that patient recovery is faster. However, they are not safe for use in treating diarrhoea in children and pregnant women. Side effects of anti-diarrhoeal medications include drowsiness and even constipation.
It is advised patients see their doctor if diarrhoea lasts for more than two days, or is accompanied by extreme vomiting where the patient is having difficulty in keeping down fluids.

If you've spent much time in Texas, you have inevitably been exposed to any number of platitudes which extol the state's immense size. You may even be capable of producing, extempore, a viable estimate of the number of Rhode Islands that could fit inside the state (221), or where Texas would rank in area among other nations if she were not relegated to federated statehood (40th).
But these factoids don't do enough to help us appreciate the vastness of 270,000 square miles of planet Earth! Apart from driving Brownsville to Amarillo, there has to be a better way.
Hence, I present the Texas Land Area Comparator. Go ahead; give it a try. If you're anything like me, you'll pan right over to the northeastern US and watch Texas effortlessly engulf the entirety of New England.
Map nerds will appreciate that this map continuously re-projects the countries as the map is dragged. This reduces distortion–e.g., Greenland doesn't look as big as Africa–but comes at the cost of your web browser doing a lot of math on the fly, so interaction gets choppy at smaller scales.
As usual, most of the credit is owed to D3's incredible developer community, particularly Bostock, Davies and Czaplewski. I'm also trying out Turf.js for the first time; it's really very awesome.

Q: LWJGL + LibGDX + TiledMap 2D Platformer Graphics (Beginning) I want to start working with LWJGL,LibGDX and TiledMap on a 2D Platformer game (JAVA).
At start I want to learn how to load the Background and the Player. As I learned, for the player, I have to create a png with multiple positions of a player and load them with LibGDXTexturePacker, to make it with TiledMap. I want to learn which is the best way to make the graphics.
Q: Should I use TiledMap for Player Animation, LWJGL or something else? Also suggesting me a tutorial would be nice, for both Player Animation and Background. (I want to move the player with the Keyboard).
Thats it for now. Hope someone can help me.

A: For player animation, I would load in a spriteSheet consisting of every different frame on the player. This spritesheet can be stored in a Sprite variable. Then use TextureRegions to break up the spriteSheet into multiple sprites. Moving the player with the keyboard is actually very simple, using Gdx.input.isKeyPressed(Input.Keys.W) you can test to see if W is being pressed, if so, take the players position and add 1 on the Y axis. Be sure though whenever you move things like that, to times the value by Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime() which will ensure no matter what FPS you get, it will move the same speed. As for tutorials, I would recommend TheChernoProject on youtube, and ForeignGuyMike (also on youtube).

From here, travel to Karpacz, one of the most popular mountain resorts, situated directly at the foot of the Karkonosze range. Here you'll visit the Vang Stave church, considered to be the oldest wooden church in Poland and a unique relic of Nordic Romanesque architecture dating back to the 12th century. It was originally built in Norway and was moved to Silesia by a Prussian king in 19th century.

Double-decker buses add to downtown debate
Lesley Conn
A fast-tracked proposal to bring double-decker buses into historic downtown has been postponed, but is re-energizing calls to review tourism, traffic and downtown ordinances.
The Savannah City Council, which meets at 10 a.m. today, was scheduled to vote on changing its tourism ordinance to allow the buses, but as opposition grew, attorney Julie Wade, representing business owners Steve Caplan and Tom O'Connor, asked that it be referred to the Tourism Advisory Committee and placed on council's Jan. 10 agenda.
Consideration after that date, Wade wrote, likely would bar the business's entry into the market for several months.
She also stated that, aside from a Dec. 13 workshop where the proposal was presented for the first time publicly, "it was a culmination of many meetings we had with city staff and council members prior to the workshop to inform them about our proposal and answer any questions they had."
Some downtown residents, however, say asking for a recommendation so soon doesn't allow for proper review. Resident Toni Harrington calls it "unrealistic and patently unfair."
Part of the initial objection was that council bypassed the usual process, which calls for an initial review by the advisory committee.
Mayor Edna Jackson admits she and other council members were excited about the proposal. It would bring 20 more jobs, and they seemed reassured because the buses are a common sight in other tourist cities.
Though council had scheduled a vote, it also had a commitment from the double-decker company that it would abide by the tourism committee's recommendations, which would come later.
The new buses, backers say, are shorter, have a tighter turning radius than traditional double-deckers and will handle almost twice the passengers, which proponents say will reduce traffic.
After a flurry of calls and emails from residents and a letter from Hank Reed, president of the Downtown Neighborhood Association, questioning whether double-decker buses would add to street congestion, street repairs and bring a lack of privacy for second-story residents, Jackson, for one, agrees the tourism traffic issue needs more thorough review.
"There are a lot of unanswered questions that I have now," she said.
Eric Brooks, another resident, wants the council to give more consideration, too.
"Those of us who have raised the concern certainly don't want to see this issue stampeded," he said. "We would like to see more discussion than 10 days after the first of the year would allow."
The recommendation council will vote on calls for the tourism committee to bring a recommendation to council early next year, not necessarily by Jan. 10.
Opponents say before any new buses are added, the city should review the overall impact of tour vehicles on the quality of life.
About 12 million visitors a year head to the Savannah area, and downtown has more than 100 tour vehicles operating in the historic district, plus more than 1,400 motor coaches permitted in more commercial areas, city officials say.
City staff and the tourism committee for the last year have discussed tourism, business and residential needs and reviewed existing tourism ordinances with an eye toward offering revisions early next year.
'Like a parade'
From their East St. Julian Street home, Brooks and his wife, Jeanne, say they tolerate the steady rumble and fumes of tour buses and the guides' constant narration that penetrates into the house.
During peak months from March to November, 150 buses a day pass. They've counted, Eric Brooks says.
"It's like a parade sometimes," he said.
A few houses away, Harrington and her neighbors around Washington Square see a similar procession.
"There are times when I've counted seven of them around the square at one time," Harrington said. "From our perspective, it's beginning to look like an amusement park and not really like a historic city."
So the thought of double-decker buses measuring 12-feet 6-inches tall raise a number of concerns for the Brookses, Harrington and many of their neighbors.
The buses, passing just a foot or two from some of the houses, will provide a perfect perch to allow tourists to peer into bedroom windows and other private areas. When traffic backs up, buses often sit for several minutes, residents say, and some bus tours run as late as 11 p.m. in peak season.
"So now if I sit in my back yard people can look over my 6-foot wall," said John Miller. "Talk about a lack of privacy."
Safety and the tree canopy are concerns for Artis Wood.
As the owner of Victorian Lady Tours and Talks, she often joins tour buses to provide narration, which are about the same height.
"Half of the buses I'm on hit branches," she said. "If just one person forgets the instructions and stands up and the wrong time, they could get hit and maybe hurt badly."
Before more buses come in, the residents say, they'd like to see the city vigorously enforce ordinances in place to limit the number of tour buses allowed on one square and an ordinance that states amplification is not supposed to be heard outside a bus.
Harrington can't help feeling she and other residents have been ignored by the process. She hopes that changes, because she believes residents like her have something to contribute to the success.
"I think there has to be some consideration of the residents because we're trying to keep the city as beautiful as we can," she said. "We're the ones that have the (historic) homes they want to see."

Reducing juvenile weapons crimes
Posted on June 4, 2020 June 4, 2020 by Edwin Wade
One out of four deaths in the US is caused by the use of firearms. The use of weapons among youths is increasing at an alarming speed. The government together with the community and other agencies have put in place strategies to reduce the use of weapons particularly guns in crime.
The government has put in place policies to reduce gun violence. The Gun-Free act states that any student who is found guilty of carrying a firearm to school should be expelled for more than one year. Also, the Youth Handgun Safety Act prohibits the possession of a handgun among juveniles. Apart from these policies, the government should impose tight regulations that reduce availability. The government should ensure every person who gets a firearm gets a license. The license should be revoked if anyone uses the gun to assault anyone.
Also, drug treatment and prevention programs should be put in place. Sometimes youths engage in crime under the influence of drugs. Those who have already been addicted should be taken to rehabilitative centers for recovery. The government should work closely with the community to get closer to these youths.
Parents should be taught appropriate parenting skills. They should closely supervise their children. This will help them detect fishy behaviors among their kids. They should also monitor the peer groups their kids are engaged with. Supervision is essential as it helps parents realize when their kids are going wrong. They can tell when their kids want to join gangs that commit crimes using weapons on time and prevent them from joining.
Education programs should be initiated to train youths about the negative effects of using weapons in crime. They should be educated more about gun violence and the consequences of engaging in crime. The government should work closely together with schools and the community for them to get to know youths who engage in crime and arrest them.
The Youth Firearms Violence Initiative was formed to come up with strategies on how to reduce juvenile crime in areas with high rates of crime. Police departments use directed patrols and civil remedies in reducing juvenile weapons crimes. The use of weapons among juveniles to commit a crime is one of the major concerns, particularly in the United States. The government should put in place measures to stem this negative vice. They should put in place policies regulating access to guns and enforce these laws.

Today I appeared on KPCC's AirTalk to discuss an incident in Orange County where a drunk man destroyed a drone valued at $1350.
Destruction of property in California is a crime, and is a felony when the property is valued at more than $400.
This drone was being operated on a public street by LuckySeven company. There is a lot of confusion among many regarding which laws (Federal vs State vs Local) apply to drones. In this case, the intoxicated man was not being harmed in any way, and yet, took it upon himself to maliciously destroy property belonging to another person.
While some callers expressed concerns regarding the noise associated with drones, that doesn't justify taking the law into their own hands. I may be annoyed or irritated by my neighbors lawn mower, but that certainly does not give me the right to walk across the street with a baseball bat and smash it to bits.
