Introducing the Golda Awards
Today, I am proud to introduce the Golda Awards, named after former Israeli prime minister Golda Meir.
Golda Meir was referred to by former Israeli prime minister Levi Eshkol, as the only person in his cabinet with "balls".
Do you get the idea?
Henceforth I will honor an Israeli woman with a Golda when I think she has shown "balls".
The award, which covers no monetary value, will be given regardless of creed, community, ethnicity, or age.
The reason for this award, well, just take a look at our so-called representatives, particularly those on the government benches who have shown themselves to be eunuchs. Once again, thank you Adv. Ronit Amiel for the use of this wonderful, descriptive word. https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/lawyer-who-helped-convict-katsav-slamms-netanyahu-in-facebook-post-631321
The first Golda goes to MK Merav Michaeli. https://www.timesofisrael.com/labors-1-woman-opposition-no-to-a-religious-occupying-non-democratic-state/
Love her, hate her, she warrants credit and respect, whether as a former journalist or now as an MK for standing up and saying what she thinks, fighting for what she believes in, despite the many problems her opinions may and do cause her. She is a champion.
Merav Michaeli could have taken the easy path and joined turncoats Amir Peretz and Itzik Shmuli, and no doubt been appointed a minister, deputy minister, or head of a powerful, meaningful committee. Instead, she has chosen to stick with her principals strive to endure parliamentary life in "no-mans land".
My second Golda goes to an unnamed 51-year-old Yesh Atid female activist from central Israel, who, reportedly sent to Benny knife-the-public-in-the-back-Gantz, and Science Minister Izhar Shay - https://www.timesofisrael.com/woman-grilled-by-police-for-tweeting-photo-of-heart-and-dagger-tattoo-at-gantz/ - a tweet which included a heart and dagger.
Is she brave or is she foolish? There is a fine line between the two.
What is apparent, at least from the article, is that she views the new Blue & White mob as collaborators, and unlike most/all of the eunuchs in Benny knife-the-public-in-the-back-Gantz's gang, does have a conscious, does have a soul, does have a heart. And, unlike Benny knife-the-public-in-the-back-Gantz, who claims to sleep well at night, frets over Israel's future and direction.
Maybe she was rash, misguided in her actions, but to quote Edmund Burke, yet again, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
Good men and good women.
And, before anyone suggests, no way is Miri Regev getting a Golda!

The Nitro Circus team have a bit of a habit of making history. They probably occupy half the record book when it comes to world firsts, especially when said innovation takes place on two wheels.
The team just took the profession of progression one massive leap further as well, after FMX rider Josh Sheehan stomped a trick that not only has never been tried before, but has always simply seemed beyond the realms of human possibility – the moto triple backflip.
It's been a full nine years since the legend that is Travis Pastrana nailed the first ever double backflip in motocross back at the X-Games of 2006.
Since then, plenty of people have mastered the double, but nobody had ever thought to take it one step further, although when it did happen, it was always bound to be Nitro Circus, and Sheeny was the prime candidate.
Josh regularly sticks doubles here, there and everywhere on the X-Fighters tour, but nevertheless, this is next level.
The height on the jump is absolutely ridiculous. As Travis and the rest of the crew mention in the video, there was only two ways Josh was rolling away from that giant kicker at Pastranaland last night – in an ambulance or on two wheels.
Thankfully, he stuck it, and history has been made, pushing back the boundaries of sheer possibility in the process.
Now, the only problem we have with Josh's effort is that he didn't actually name the new trick. After Billy Morgan stuck a quad-cork on his snowboard earlier this month, you might have heard us sing a similar story. In our books, naming the trick is half the fun.
So, in honour of the rider behind it, we're now going to be referring to the triple moto backflip as "The Sheehanigans", for obvious reasons. Well done Josh. We hope you like the name.

News Roundup and Notes: February 16, 2016
by Nadia O'Mara and Zoë Chapman
Before the start of business, Just Security provides a curated summary of up-to-the-minute developments at home and abroad. Here's today's news.
IRAQ and SYRIA
Two schools and five hospitals were hit by airstrikes in Aleppo and Idlib provinces yesterday. Up to 50 civilians were killed, including children. France and Russia have called the strikes "war crimes." [Al Jazeera] Blaming the Assad regime and its allies, State Department spokesperson John Kirby said that the airstrikes, which targeted an MSF hospital in Azaz city among others, "fly in the face of the unanimous calls" for a ceasefire.
The airstrikes mark an intensification in fighting, which is "complicating the challenge of getting humanitarian aid" to civilians trapped in besieged areas. [Wall Street Journal's Sam Dagher et al]
Kurdish fighters and Arab allies continued to push forward approaching Azaz, an important border town. Turkey continued to shell the Kurdish advancing forces, trying to avoid more Kurdish-controlled territory emerging along the border. [New York Times' Anne Bernard] Martin Chulov comments that the Kurds have succeeded in carving "out a new reality in northern Syria," at the Guardian.
UN special envoy to Syria, Staffan de Mistura is in Damascus to discuss the implementation of a cessation in hostilities. [BBC]
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad made a statement yesterday saying that any ceasefire agreement "doesn't mean that each party will stop using weapons," but rather the purpose of a truce was to stop "terrorists from strengthening their positions" by gaining territory. [The Guardian's Kareem Shaheen]
Iran won't let a cessation of hostilities in Syria enable opposition to the Assad regime to "regroup," Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said in Brussels yesterday. [Wall Street Journal's Laurence Norman]
Presidents Obama and Putin agreed to intensify diplomatic efforts to bring about a ceasefire agreement and the delivery of humanitarian aid to Syria, the Kremlin announced on Sunday. [Washington Post's Karen DeYoung] During the phone call between the leaders, President Obama urged Putin to end Moscow's air campaign against Syrian rebels, the White House said. [The Hill's Bradford Richardson]
"If the Syria ceasefire fails, ISIS will be the least of the west's problems," cautions Michael Clarke, director of the Royal United Services Institute for Defense and Security Studies. [The Guardian]
Turkey has committed ground troops to the anti-Islamic State coalition in Syria, and will permit Saudi airstrike missions from its air bases, the country's foreign minister said Sunday. [Washington Post's Karen DeYoung] "Saudi troops to Syria? Whoa. Bad idea!" warns Alexander Decina at The Daily Beast.
US-led airstrikes continue. US and coalition military forces carried out four strikes against Islamic State targets in Syria on Feb. 14. Separately, partner forces conducted a further 14 airstrikes against targets in Iraq. [Central Command]
The Islamic State used mustard gas against Kurdish opponents in Iraq last year, a diplomat has said, in light of tests conducted by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. [Reuters]
SURVEILLANCE, PRIVACY and TECHNOLOGY
An Islamic State attack on US soil is "inevitable," CIA Director John Brennan said on Sunday. He claimed that US intelligence has already prevented "numerous" attacks, but warned that those involved in potential attacks are able to "take advantage of the newly available means of communication that are – that are walled off from law enforcement officials," in a reference to encryption technology. [The Hill's Bradford Richardson]
The White House tried to dismiss suggestions that it is playing a "shell game" with a number of intelligence powers, Julian Hattem reports. [The Hill]
A British national has been arrested on suspicion of involvement with a hacking group responsible for breaking into the private email accounts of senior US intelligence officials; the 16 year old was arrested by UK authorities last week. [Washington Post's Matt Zapotosky and Ellen Nakashima]
The Federal Communications Commission is expected to put together regulations over the coming months on how broadband providers handle sensitive customer data. David McCabe provides the details. [The Hill]
Pre-trial hearings for those allegedly involved in the 9/11 attacks are due to resume today at Guantánamo Bay's war court, Camp Justice. Items on the agenda include arguments over how prosecutors will provide pre-trial evidence in relation to the time the accused spent in CIA custody. [Miami Herald's Carol Rosenberg]
After 15 years and repeated calls to close it, Guantánamo Bay is still open and still holds dozens of prisoners without charge. David Smith provides a summary of its history. [The Guardian]
Libya's Presidential Council has announced the formation of a revised national unity government. The list of 13 ministers and 5 ministers of state was sent to Libya's eastern parliament for approval on Sunday. [Al Jazeera] The UN envoy overseeing the process has welcomed the announcement. [UN News Centre]
Defense Secretary Ash Carter has encouraged Britain to renew its Trident nuclear weapons program. In comments published on Saturday, Carter said that replacing the fleet of submarines which carry nuclear warheads must be done so that Britain can sustain its "outsized" role in world affairs. [Reuters]
A US journalist and three members of her crew have been arrested in Bahrain accused of failing to register properly with authorities on entering the country and participating in "an unlawful gathering." Freelance journalist, Anna Day, and her colleagues were covering a demonstration marking the fifth anniversary of the political opposition uprising in the Gulf monarchy. Reporters Without Borders, a journalists' rights group, has called for their release. [Wall Street Journal's Asa Fitch; The Guardian's Roy Greenslade]
US Green Berets and Dutch Marines have been training a handpicked Senegalese commando squad created in an effort to combat terrorist smuggling networks along the Senegal River. [New York Times' Eric Schmitt]
Al-Shabaab claim to have seized an armed, unmarked drone which crashed in the Buuraaha Sanda'ar region of southern Somalia. No country has claimed the drone. [Al Jazeera's Hamza Mohamed]
The investigation into the torture and death of Italian student, Guilio Regeni, in Cairo almost two weeks ago has failed to produce any leads, so far. Italy has pressed Egyptian authorities to expedite their investigation into the death which has "chilled Italian-Egyptian relations." [Wall Street Journal's Dahlia Kholaif and Giada Zampano]
Antonin Scalia, Justice on the Supreme Court, died on Saturday. He was 79. Adam Liptak describes the life and times of "the most influential justice of the last quarter-century." [New York Times]
The UN has encouraged Nigeria to ensure that areas liberated from the control of Boko Haram forces are restored to true safety before it allows displaced persons to return to their homes. [UN News Centre]
A man in Florida has pleaded guilty to a hate crime for threatening to firebomb two mosques in the Middle District of Florida, and to shoot their congregants. [DoJ News]
"What happens when these folks start getting out?" The prospect of some of those convicted of terrorism offences in the US being released as soon as 2017 raises questions about how to reintegrate them back into their communities. [Wall Street Journal's Nicole Hong]
"Depleting our Treasury and wasting valuable lives." Joseph Blady discusses the situation in Afghanistan and the Senate Armed Services Committee's "stunning" decision to continue to keep US troops in Afghanistan and to funnel billions more US dollars into the country's recovery. [The Hill]
Russian NATO ambassador, Alexander Grushko answers Julian E Barnes' questions on Russia's views on the presence of Western troops in Poland and the Baltic, Russian violence in Ukraine, and other matters. [Wall Street Journal]
The US Navy has been testing an electromagnetic railgun and is considering installing it on future USS Lyndon B Johnson. A final decision has yet to be made. [AP]
South Korea will take "stronger and more effective" measures against North Korea from now on, South Korea's President Park Geun-hye said in "uncharacteristically blunt terms" in a televised parliamentary address yesterday. [AP; Washington Post's Anna Fifield] A UN human rights investigator has produced a report recommending that North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un, should face trial for crimes such as murder, torture, enslavement and persecution, and that an expert panel should be created, tasked with identifying how to prosecute him. [New York Times' Nick Cumming-Bruce] Meanwhile, new sanctions against North Korea were cleared by the House on Friday and are waiting President Obama's signature. The White House has indicated that he will sign the legislation. [The Hill's Christina Marcos]

When it opened in 1967, this was known as the National Accelerator Laboratory, and founder Robert R. Wilson established the abiding principles of scientific excellence, aesthetic beauty, land stewardship, fiscal responsibility and equal opportunity. In 1974, the laboratory was renamed after Enrico Fermi, a preeminent physicist whose work led to the first controlled nuclear chain reaction, in Chicago.
Fermilab physicists have discovered both the top and bottom quark, mapped the structure of protons and neutrons using neutrino beams, and located the most distant object ever observed. An active center for national and international scientific study, Fermilab is largely closed to the public, but visitors may tour two buildings on their own: Wilson Hall's ground floor and atrium, with an exhibit and cafeteria, and the Lederman Science Center, offering hands-on exhibits aimed at junior high students.
The 6,800-acre Fermilab site contains wetlands, woodlands, grasslands and more than 1,100 acres of reconstructed tallgrass prairie, where scientists have observed 10 species of frogs, 55 species of butterflies, 90 species of moths and 280 species of birds. Visitors may walk along a couple of prairie trails and view the site's herd of 30 buffalo.
Its buildings feature cutting-edge architectural design; architectural landmarks include a concrete Archimedes Spiral and a distinctive series of high-voltage transmission lines that resemble the Greek letter pi.
Throughout the year, Fermilab hosts a variety of cultural events that are open to the public. Performers range from pop singers and international dance troupes to classical chamber orchestras; there are lectures, an art gallery, even folk dancing at the Village Barn.
Group tours and school field trips may be scheduled. From October to April, Fermilab's site is open to the public daily from 8 a.m.-6 p.m., and in summer until 8 p.m. Be sure to check the website for possible security restrictions and directions for entering the site.
The story of this Romanesque-style castle is as amazing as the structure itself.
Theodore Bettendorf, who emigrated from Luxembourg to America at age 17, purchased a three-bedroom frame house on a bluff overlooking Hwy. 14, in Fox River Grove, in 1931. Inspired by the Castle Vianden back home on the Rhine River, he first encased his house in stone and mortar, and then began constructing his own replica of Vianden, using a postcard as his guide.
Bettendorf not only hauled stones from local quarries and nearby fields but also quarried them himself, sinking two mine shafts that eventually became the dungeon and guard tower. He also dug his own well. By the time of his death in 1967, Bettendorf had created a Romanesque castle and grounds, complete with a moat and working drawbridge, turrets and keeps, parapets and battlement walkways, a courtyard with a fountain and wishing well, a garage and coach house. A machinist by trade who commuted by train to the city, Bettendorf built it all himself, on nights and weekends. Architects have dubbed it architecturally perfect – every circle is a perfect circle, every tower and wall perfectly straight.
Michael and Judy Strohl purchased Bettendorf Castle in 1985 as a private residence. It was plaqued by the McHenry County Historical Society in September 2011. Although still a private residence and closed to the general public, the Strohls recently began to host private group tours of the castle's exterior and grounds. For more information about scheduling a tour, visit the website or contact Jaki Berggren, group sales manager with the McHenry County CVB, at (815) 893-6280.
This former train depot along the Soo Railroad Line was relocated from downtown Mundelein to its current location in 1983. After its restoration, it was reopened as Fort Hill Heritage Museum, on July 4, 1987.
The name dates back to the early 1800s and the area's first settlers of the village of Fremont (now Mundelein). With its high elevation, they thought it was a natural place for a fort, and although one was never built, the spot became known as Fort Hill.
The museum is home to the Historical Society of Fort Hill Country, which maintains and operates it, in cooperation with the Mundelein Park & Recreation District. In addition to depot artifacts, such as an original baggage cart, a huge safe and an 1890s caboose, its collection includes pioneer tools, war uniforms, wedding dresses, Mundelein's first fire hose cart, a flintlock gun, antique maps and photographs, vintage quilts, Diamond Lake artifacts and more.
The museum is located at Lions Field and admission is free, although donations are accepted. It's open on Saturdays, March through December, from 1-4 p.m., and group tours can be arranged.

Providing Secure Live Chat Integration for Healthcare Organisations
If you missed our last healthcare blog, we explained how healthcare organisations including the NHS, shouldn't delay procuring live chat due to the uncertainty that GDPR could bring. Our Data Protection Officer (DPO) has researched the changes that would need to actioned to ensure compliance. For more information read Worrying about Procuring with GDPR around the Corner?
In this article, we will be explaining the security aspects of 'Experiences' by Click4Assistance and why it is vital for software to have this level of functionality.
Accessing the Click4Assistance Solution
Active Directory (AD) Integration
To manage all users on the company's network in a central place, Microsoft Windows supplies offices with the Active Directory. It is a simpler way to add or remove users, controlling their access to specific areas such as folders and printers.
It not only makes logging into platforms easier, such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Outlook, it makes logging in safer, as only those users can login when they are on the company network. 'Experiences' by Click4Assistance integrates with the Active Directory, meaning that those users who have the option 'Use Active Directory' enabled, can be automatically logged in with their windows credentials. The organisation's IT administrators can update the password in one area rather than the user having to change it in multiple platforms, and therefore saving time.
Restricting IP Logins
To ensure users are only logging in to the Click4Assistance account from authorised locations, such as the workplace, is to provide an IP address against the Permissions for the User Type. The solution will only allow users to authenticate and login from the designated IP address(es). Access times can also be assigned against the User Type, this can be set so users can only log in during operational hours or between their set shift times etc.
Password Expiry
Users can still use an email address and password as an alternative to using the Active Directory, however for good practice, passwords should be updated regularly to reduce any breaches. The Click4Assistance can automatically expire passwords, enforcing users to update them. Users can manually amend their credentials from within the solution, or the 'Change Password' link can be selected from the log in page.
Encrypting Data
Whilst engaging using Click4Assistance, there are many forms and windows that have the potential to gather visitor's personal details such as the chat integration. The information transmitted through the system is stored on the database where it is encrypted at rest, aiming to secure the inactive data.

Three people have been taken to hospital after a crash which shut a Gwynedd road.
Police, firefighters and paramedics were called to the A4212 between Frongoch and Arenig, near Bala just after 4.40pm.
One person had to be cut free from the wreckage by fire crews following the one-vehicle collision.
A North Wales Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said: "We were called to a road traffic collision on the A4212 near Bala at 4.43pm. We sent two crews to the scene as there were reports of a person trapped. We extricated one person from the vehicle using specialist cutting equipment. There were also two other casualties and all three were taken to hospital."
Quad bike crash which killed farmer remains a mystery, says coroner
The condition of those injured has not been confirmed by the Welsh Ambulance Service.

The currency of ancient Rome typically consisted of coins made from various metals such as gold, silver, bronze and copper. Various reforms about Roman currency, trading, and finances were undertaken over the course of centuries or ancient rome, and although the coins of this civilisation were made of precious metals such as gold and silver, their actual value was slightly higher than the worth of that quantity of the metal. Having access to strategic locations along the Mediterranean sea allowed the Roman empire to have influence over the trading routes and finances of the region.
A variety of coin types were prevalent during different times of Roman currency. The first major development took place in 211 BC when denarius was introduced in Rome. It was a small coin made of silver and had a worth of 10 asses which later increased to 16 asses. Denarius remained an integral part of Roman currency for over four hundred years. There was another coin for half-denarius which was known as quinarius. It was also introduced in 211 BC and had a worth of 5 asses which later increased to 10 asses. Also in 211 BC, sestertius was introduced which had a worth of 2.5 asses. Other important coin types in ancient Roman life included dupondius, assarius, semis, triens, and quadrans.
Although the main role of the Roman currency was economic, they also had a political significance which was reflected through the iconography on the coins. During the era of the Roman Republic, the responsibility of deciding the kind of imagery to feature on the coins rested with the committee of tresviri monetales which means 'trio of money men'. The earliest imagery on Roman coins consisted of a bust of Roma on the obverse with a deity on the reverse. Eventually, the republican coins began featuring the moneyer's name. Sometimes, they even displayed images related to the family history of the moneyer.
There was a clear shift in the nature of the currency before and after the establishment of the Roman Empire. The change came about soon after the establishment of the Empire when Julius Caesar issued coins with his own image. Earlier coins had featured portraits of the ancestors but the coins of Julius Caesar were the first ones to portray a living person and an emperor. Over the subsequent centuries of the empire, portraits of various emperors appeared on the coins of ancient Roman empire.
A selection of Roman coins, a commonly used currency.
The system of Roman currency was strictly regulated by the authorities. The responsibility of deciding the kind of imagery on the coins was with the committee of tresviri monetales meaning 'trio of money men'. These people were authorised to create a centralised and standardised Roman currency. The moneyers produced the currency under the guidance of these committees which was three in number during the Roman Republic and were increased to four during the reign of Julius Caesar at the end of the Republic.
Roman society was a vast empire and trade between different parts of the empire was a vital feature of the economy. The Empire was situated along the most important trade routes of the time in the Mediterranean world and also had trading links with the other countries and empires of the time. The most important trading port of Rome was Ostia which was located at the mouth of River Tiber. It was responsible for trading between Rome and Carthage as well as with the provinces of Spain and France. The Romans had also established trade links with North Africa and Middle East.
Other than trade between Rome and other countries and empire, extensive trade also took place between different provinces of the empire itself. The peak era of trade in ancient Rome when the number of workers involved in industry and trade was highest was from 2nd century BC to 2nd century AD. However, trade was usually considered a suitable profession for the common people and the elite preferred to stay away from it. During the later years of the Western Roman Empire, trade declined in the western part of the empire but continued to flourish in the eastern part after the founding of Constantinople.
The ancient Roman government financed itself through various taxes, trades with other countries, and bounty from the war. During the early years of the Republic, taxes were as low as 1% of owned property and wealth. The tax was increased in the event of war to as much as 3%. Taxes were mainly levied against real estate, slaves, animals, and other goods. Around 167 BC, Rome captured the gold and silver mines in Spain which enriched the government finances and there was no further need to levy taxes on the Romans.
The most important way of payment was, of course, the ancient Roman currency mainly in the form of gold and silver coins. However, there were also other means of payment. For instance, farmers would sometimes pay their taxes in the form of food if they did not have enough money. Similarly, barter trade also existed in ancient Rome where goods were exchanged for other goods. Thus the mode of payment was mixed with payments sometimes done in currency and sometimes in kind. With the passage of time, however, use of coins as a mode of payment increased particularly after the conquest of the gold and silver mines of Spain.
Ancient Rome was a huge empire which stretched over three continents at its height, and thus there was extensive trading going on, not just with other countries and empires but also between different regions of the Roman Empire itself. Rome was nicely situated geographically and along with strategically important trade routes of the Mediterranean Sea and had a virtual monopoly over the regional trading and finances. The currency of Rome we have now learned mainly consisted of gold and silver coins which were minted under the guidance of the special committees constituted by the government. The practice of displaying the portraits of the emperors began with the establishment of the Roman Empire in 27 BC.

The director of Final Fantasy XIII doesn't want you to think his game takes players along a straight, boring line, and instead says any linearity is actually a good thing.
We all know that linearity is the sign of a bad videogame. Any release that doesn't let you create your own completely unique experience every time you play should be thrown directly into the trash and forgotten about forever. Final Fantasy XIII director Motomu Toriyama oddly disagrees with this, recently posting a response on the game's official website to those that say the title is too linear for an RPG.
He writes: "There have been many who expressed opinions regarding the story driven nature of FFXIII making for a linear gameplay progression so I shall briefly talk about that concept here." He goes on to explain that any linearity is intentional due to the two worlds the game takes place in: the futuristic world of Cocoon and the primeval world of Gran Pulse.
"The game system itself actually changes between these two worlds, with the first half of the game taking place in Cocoon being a very story driven experience, whereas the second half in Gran Pulse is an open world design with a more free style of gameplay. In order to allow the player to become absorbed in the drama of the storytelling and the new and exciting world of Cocoon and be drawn to the characters without getting distracted or lost we have deliberately used a linear game design for the introduction sections so they can be enjoyed in the same manner as watching a film."
Toriyama says that his team at Square Enix was going for a FPS "vibe" where the player "rapidly progresses through a series of dramatic events and experiences one after the other on an imposing and atmospheric battlefield." This early linear section also allows the player to get the hang of Final Fantasy XIII's new battle system, according to Toriyama.
I don't import, nor am I special, so I have not played Final Fantasy XIII yet, but what Toriyama describes here sounds exactly like almost every other Final Fantasy game. Western RPGs tend to be built around open worlds, but JRPGs like Final Fantasy usually work just like Toriyama says FFXIII works: a huge portion of linearity, followed by open-world exploration (usually accompanied by the acquisition of an airship). This structure is in fact a staple of JRPG design.
I would never want to see a series like Final Fantasy go into the realm of total linearity, cutting out any exploration or side-RPG elements, though I won't know how well FFXIII incorporates these until it hits shelves on March 9. Depending on how long each world lasts, and how truthful Toriyama's statements are, Final Fantasy XIII's partially linear structure might be nothing new at all.

Q: Login error with android studio and firebase I am using Firebase in Android Studio. For login a general users register with their phone number and password and it works phone. I am trying to add within this code that if the admin person enters specific details for an admin login (hardcode it) that it will then show a specific Admin Home Page class I have created and not the general home class. What am I doing wrong for this to work?
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
    //Check if user not exist in Database
    if(dataSnapshot.child(editPhone.getText().toString()).exists()) {
        //Get user information
        mDialog.dismiss();
        User user = dataSnapshot.child(editPhone.getText().toString()).getValue(User.class);
        assert user != null;
        user.setPhone(editPhone.getText().toString());//set phone
        if (user.getPassword().equals(editPassword.getText().toString())) {

            Toast.makeText(SignIn.this, "Sign in success!!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            Intent homeIntent = new Intent(SignIn.this, Home.class);
            Common.currentUser = user;
            startActivity(homeIntent);
            finish();
        } else {

            Toast.makeText(SignIn.this, "Wrong password!!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }

    else if (editPhone.getText().toString().equals("admin") && editPassword.getText().toString().equals("admin")) {
        Intent AdminHomeIntent = new Intent(SignIn.this, AdminHome.class);
        startActivity(AdminHomeIntent);
        finish();

    }
    else{
        mDialog.dismiss();
        Toast.makeText(SignIn.this, "User not exist in database!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

A: Look always try to use lowercase word for naming any type of variable otherwise java will drive you crazy. Try to use  admin_home_intent instead of AdminHomeIntent** also check your user class and datasnapshot line properly.

Cameroon will host the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations under the auspices of the Confederation of African Football (CAF). This reassuring message was part of a high-level discussion between the President of the Republic, His Excellency Paul BIYA and the President of CAF, Mr Ahmad Ahmad at the Unity Palace on 2 October 2018.
Speaking to the press after the audience, Mr Ahmad Ahmad debunked rumours that CAF would withdraw the hosting rights from Cameroon. He said CAF has never envisaged such a scenario. Normally, it is the host country that has the final say, he stated.
Thus, the meeting with the Head of State was an opportunity to extinguish doubts raised by ill-intentioned individuals in Cameroon and abroad. Mr Ahmad explained that the continental body was satisfied with the Government's outright willingness to develop football infrastructure before the start of the competition.
The Head of State's request for Cameroon to gain full ownership of the CAF Excellence Centre in Mbankomo was accepted. Thus, an agreement will be signed for the transfer of ownership to Cameroon's newly-created Football Academy (ANAFOOT).
CAF's President was accompanied by his vice – Mr Constant Omari Selemani, Cameroon's football icon – Samuel Eto'o Fils, and the President of the Normalisation Commission of FECAFOOT – Barrister Dieudonne Happi.
Quizzed about the 7 October 2018 presidential election, Samuel Eto'o pledged to vote for Candidate Paul BIYA – for his high sense of fraternity and in the interest of peace and living together in Cameroon.

This Is Madness
Hey what's the deal everybody? Say, I was just looking around this site and reading up on these messages that people are posting and this ridiculous, I mean why people will take time out their lives to hate on someone's idol. I mean come on y'all that ain't right. A good example it's always a battle between Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Jennifer Lopez fans on here — it's crazy. I mean, they are all talented in their own rights.
Now I do want to confess that I once upon of time I didn't think that Britney or Jennifer could sing. But I recently heard Britney sing 'Silent Night' and I was speechless, I have much respect for her. And I love Jennifer's voice it's nice and pure. And Christina's voice is just out of this world. And Mariah's voice is just beautiful.
I not taking and side I'm just saying that if somebody post a message about their idol on this site I think it's only right if fans of that person should make comments, because after reading these comments I thought these were 6 and 8 years olds posting these comments. I even read comments by males hating on females now that's sick. Females have it bad enough.
Come people let's grow up and respect each other. This is nonsense. Their is enough room for everybody.

See we need more people like you trying to keep peace between Fans. Mariah is my favorite Singer/Songwriter/Producer but I don't expect her to be everyone's favorite. So why can't the Haters just end this war cause we could go on forever fighting about who's the best!
Nobody forced you to come to this site and read all those comments. you did that on your own will. so suck it up.
Nobody takes it as seriously as much as you do. this may be a bad thing…….but I think pissing people off is fun. I think all of us are guilty of that. lol.
Whatomat says:
What fight between J.lo fans and anyone else,,,from what I can tell and I have been here for a while there are only 2 or 3 J.Lo fans on here!!! And most posts about J.lo barely get read.. Anyhow stop complaining and move on if you don't like it here
Cicero says:
Well said. We need more people like you around here. This hating is getting out of control
SJ says:
I AGREE! There are only 2 J.Lo fans on popdirt. Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears have dozens and dozens!

YOU GO GAL OOPS OR PAL. I LOVE ALL MUSIC AND PUTTING ONE ARTIST AGAINST THE OTHER IS LIKE PUTTING ME A CHRISTIAN AGAINST MY SOON TO BE HUSBAND A JEW AGAINST EACH OTHER. WE ARE BOTH DIFFERENT,BUT WE LOVE EACH OTHER MUSIC SHOULD BE THE SAME WAY. DIFFERENT BUT LOVED.

The reason Britney, Christina, and Mariah have so many fans is because they don't have lives.Jlo fans don't waste their time on this website…cause we have lives.


Emma is a 19 year old artist living in Victoria British Columbia. She works mostly in watercolours and oil focusing mostly on subjects found in nature.
This business is a mother/daughter joint venture. Emma creates the beautiful art works that adorn the crisp white cotton tea towels and Andrea runs the production and home screen printing. While they no longer live in the same city, they stay connected through creating these wonderful products.
These delightful design will brighten up any kitchen.
These tea towels are printed with an original illustration using water-based pigments. The cotton flour sack material absorbs very well. Not only do you get a charming designed tea towel to dress up your kitchen, but one you can actually use.


Participation in 2014 Eifuku and NW Rota expedition "Ecology of microbial mats at seamount associated Fe-rich hydrothermal vent systems"
Glazer was invited to participate on the expedition to perform three primary objectives: (i) provide in situ electrochemical surveying and profiling, (ii) deploy and recover temperature loggers at diffuse flow sites of interest, (iii) collaboratively work with Sean McAllister and Dave Emerson on shipboard iron oxidation rate experiments that had been pioneered during the 2013 Loihi expedition. As a result of the in situ electrochemical analyzer (ISEA) being damaged during shipping to Guam, the ISEA was nonfunctioning during the first few days of setting up on board. Glazer worked to diagnose the problem and discovered two independent issues: (i) the two pin power bulkhead connector had been damaged in transit, thus providing only intermittent power to the CPU board upon initialization, and (ii) the RAM on the CPU board was damaged, preventing a successful boot sequence of the instrument. Glazer rewired the instrument endcap to supply power to the instrument through spare pins on an alternate bulkhead connector, but unfortunately, no spare RAM was available on Guam, or possible to receive via shipping in time for the expedition. Subsequently, Glazer and chief scientist, Craig Moyer agreed that staying on the expedition wouldn't have been the most productive use of Glazer's time. Glazer reviewed the temperature loggers use with Moyer and Emerson, and reviewed the procedures for the iron oxidation experiments with McAllister prior to departure to salvage as many objectives as possible.

Movie Review: Amelia

Among Hollywood actresses of a certain echelon, there's a lot of unscientifically quantified grumbling about the dearth of quality roles. It's too bad then, that when one of the biggest recent opportunities for cinematic grrl-power arrives, it's marred by flat storytelling, stilted writing and an overwrought score that drowns out whatever subtlety was left.
Amelia is the much-anticipated biopic of Amelia Earhart (Hilary Swank), who disappeared in 1937 during her attempt to become the first woman to fly around the world. For those of us with just a vague notion of who she was and what her life was like, the film fills in some basic details and fleshes out the contours of her experience, both in the air -- where she explored exquisite landscapes from Africa to Ireland -- and on the ground, where she married publishing mogul George Putnam (Richard Gere) and had a romance with Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor). Amelia is also committed to reinforcing Earhart's legacy as a true feminist in every facet of her life -- from insisting on removing the word "obey" from her marriage vows, to reminding us that (in case we missed it) she refuses the shackles of convention.
The film lovingly incorporates what are ostensibly Earhart's actual letters and diary entries, but the effect is distracting. We see Swank's Amelia looking out of airplane windows over sun-scorched savannas, waxing poetic about savoring her freedom and clouds that look like resting cats. Later, she pontificates to a young Gore Vidal (William Cuddy) about lush jungles and facing your fears, while assuring him that it's OK that she won't marry his daddy, because -- obvs! -- you can't be married to two men at once.
It's possible that there wasn't actually any nuance to Earhart's life: that she was the simple, midwest tomboy she claimed to be, with no emotional stumbles during her swift ascent into public life or residual regrets about her high-speed endorsement train for products she didn't use. Despite these dubious points, Swank embodies Earhart as a strong-willed, straightforward woman who's uncomplicated and self-assured, gracefully swapping flight suits for luscious satin gowns and cockpits for cocktail hour. Yet even compelling visuals and competent acting can't bring Amelia any closer than arm's length, particularly amid cloying proclamations and heavy-handed exposition.
Unfolding with sumptuous aesthetics and honey-dipped cinematography -- the most awesome of which include outdoor scenes on rugged coastlines and exotic terrain -- Amelia chugs along in fits and starts, accelerating here and stalling there, but never quite taking flight. The film lands in theaters this week with the promising tag-line, "Defying The Impossible. Living The Dream," but for all its ambition and grandiosity, it could use more emotional substance, and less self-awareness.

Dreams Help Heal Painful Memories
By Rick Nauert PhD
An encouraging new study suggests that time spent in dream sleep can help to heal old memories.
University of California, Berkeley researchers discovered that during REM sleep the brain processes emotional experiences and takes the painful edge off difficult memories.
In the study, the researchers determined REM, or the dream phase of the sleep, is a time when stress neurotransmitters were inactive or slowed.
The findings offer a compelling explanation for why people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), such as war veterans, have a hard time recovering from painful experiences and suffer reoccurring nightmares. They also offer clues into why we dream.
"The dream stage of sleep, based on its unique neurochemical composition, provides us with a form of overnight therapy, a soothing balm that removes the sharp edges from the prior day's emotional experiences," said Matthew Walker, senior author of the study.
For people with PTSD, Walker said, this overnight therapy may not be working effectively, so when a "flashback is triggered by, say, a car backfiring, they relive the whole visceral experience once again because the emotion has not been properly stripped away from the memory during sleep."
The results offer some of the first insights into the emotional function of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, which typically takes up 20 percent of a healthy human's sleeping hours.
Previous brain studies indicate that sleep patterns are disrupted in people with mood disorders such as PTSD and depression.
Scientists have debated the role of sleep for well over a century. Although humans spend one-third of their lives sleeping, there is no scientific consensus on the function of sleep.
This research and other similar studies suggest the role of sleep extends to learning, memory and mood regulation. The current study shows the importance of the REM dream state.
"During REM sleep, memories are being reactivated, put in perspective and connected and integrated, but in a state where stress neurochemicals are beneficially suppressed," said Els van der Helm, a doctoral student in psychology at UC Berkeley and lead author of the study.
Thirty–five healthy young adults participated in the study. They were divided into two groups, each of whose members viewed 150 emotional images, twice and 12 hours apart, while an MRI scanner measured their brain activity.
Half of the participants viewed the images in the morning and again in the evening, staying awake between the two viewings. The remaining half viewed the images in the evening and again the next morning after a full night of sleep.
Those who slept in between image viewings reported a significant decrease in their emotional reaction to the images. In addition, MRI scans showed a dramatic reduction in reactivity in the amygdala, a part of the brain that processes emotions, allowing the brain's "rational" prefrontal cortex to regain control of the participants' emotional reactions.
Researchers also recorded the electrical brain activity of the participants while they slept, using electroencephalograms.
By doing this they found that during REM dream sleep certain electrical activity patterns decreased, showing that reduced levels of stress neurochemicals in the brain soothed emotional reactions to the previous day's experiences.
"We know that during REM sleep there is a sharp decrease in levels of norepinephrine, a brain chemical associated with stress," Walker said.
"By reprocessing previous emotional experiences in this neuro-chemically safe environment of low norepinephrine during REM sleep, we wake up the next day, and those experiences have been softened in their emotional strength. We feel better about them, we feel we can cope."
Walker said he was tipped off to the possible beneficial effects of REM sleep on PTSD patients when a physician at a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in the Seattle area told him of a blood pressure drug that was inadvertently preventing reoccurring nightmares in PTSD patients.
It turns out that the generic blood pressure drug had a side effect of suppressing norepinephrine in the brain, thereby creating a more stress-free brain during REM, reducing nightmares and promoting a better quality of sleep. This suggested a link between PTSD and REM sleep, Walker said.
"This study can help explain the mysteries of why these medications help some PTSD patients and their symptoms as well as their sleep," Walker said. "It may also unlock new treatment avenues regarding sleep and mental illness."
The study is published in the journal Current Biology.

This talk is based on joint work with Sam Payne. I will explain the formulation and proof of a motivic Fubini theorem for the tropicalization map in the context of Hrushovski and Kazhdan's theory of motivic integration. Denef and Loeser's motivic nearby fiber has a natural interpretation in this setting. As an application, I will present a very short and conceptual proof of the integral identity conjecture of Kontsevich and Soibelman, one of the cornerstones of their theory of motivic Donaldson-Thomas invariants. This conjecture was previously solved by Le Quy Thuong by means of a related but more involved method.
Mirror symmetry for lattice polarized K3 surfaces is a well-established correspondence, first studied in the work of Dolgachev and Nikulin. I will discuss the possibility of extending this theory to log Calabi-Yau surfaces, and in particular to weak del Pezzo surfaces. I will describe how to endow a weak del Pezzo surface with a lattice polarization and how to define the mirror notion of a lattice polarized Landau-Ginzburg model. Finally, I will discuss how this notion of mirror symmetry should be compatible with Dolgachev-Nikulin mirror symmetry for lattice polarized K3's.
Title: "On Analogs of the Hasse Invariant"
We'll use formal properties of "correspondences with a core" to give "conceptual" (i.e. non-computational) proofs of statements like the following.
To do this, we'll introduce the concepts of "invariant line bundles" and of "invariant sections" on a correspondence without a core. We'll end with several open questions.


Milk processor Brookside has increased its raw milk buying price by 13 per cent.
Brookside is now buying raw milk from farmers at a record Sh. 42 per litre. this new price takes effect today (Thursday).
Brookside becomes the first milk processor in the country to buy raw milk at over Sh. 41. The New KCC is currently buying raw milk at Sh. 40 per litre while the other raw milk processors are acquiring it at between Sh. 37 per litre and Sh. 40 per litre.
The increase in the buying price has been fueled by a sharp shortage of milk, that has also seen the price of processed milk shoot to between Sh. 55 and Sh. 60 per half a litre.
Currently, Brookside is the market leader, commanding a 44 per cent stake. It is followed closely by New KCC which commands a market share of 20 per cent.

Pat Symonds looking for "cooperative research" from teams for 2025/26 engines
by Bevan Youl
Formula 1 technical consultant Pat Symonds has spoken about the possibility of cooperative research from teams over future power unit regulations for 2025/26.
In 2021 F1 is set for a major overhaul of its sporting, technical and financial regulations, with cars looking different due to different aerodynamic specifications and a $175 million budget cap for teams to spend on their cars.
The current V6 hybrid engines are to still be used until at least 2024 but Symonds is hoping to cooperate with teams for the next power unit design.
"We're getting a lot of cross-platform sharing, and our next big project is the 2025-2026 power unit, and what I'm trying to do with that is to see if we can get something similar going on," Symonds said at Autosport International 2020.
"Probably within F1 - within my organisation - I don't think we put together a group in the same way we did with aerodynamics, because it's a very different thing.
"But I've spoken to a couple of the power unit manufacturers already about would they be prepared to do some cooperative research in certain areas.
"So we are seeing some sea changes not just in Formula 1 regulations, but perhaps more importantly in the way people think."
The regulations for 2021 have mainly been introduced to bring closer racing to F1, rather than a few teams constantly winning.
Symonds says change is usually met with resistance from teams but those that haven't been at the front supported the introduction of the new regulations.
"In terms of resistance to change, unfortunately everyone is resistant to change. It seems to be a natural thing. There are very few people who welcome change," he added.
"Interestingly, successful people tend to welcome change and deal with change a lot better than others.
"With the teams, it's a little bit different because you've got to remember the huge investment involved as well.
"When we were working on the 2021 regulations, I have to say that those at the front were more resistant, and those at the back were less resistant – well, not less resistant, they were fully supportive."

The vacations are harshing my mello, if you realize what I'm saying. On the end of the three-month research, both teams misplaced weight and improved their heart well being, displaying that losing weight may be as simple as filling up on more fiber. Studies present that in case you simply begin exercising, you're going to want at the least one hour of powerful workouts each single day to noticeably drop pounds.
Certain, you certainly must drink loads of water to assist expedite the process of ridding your body of extra sodium, you'll be able to (and may!) also devour excessive-water content material meals Reach for cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelon, asparagus, grapes, celery, artichokes, pineapple, and cranberries — all of which include diuretic properties that will also enable you to stay full as a consequence of their greater fiber content.
Of Course YOU Can Lose Weight!
If you want to go on a crash food regimen and lose a number of weight in three weeks then you've come to the appropriate place. It's normal to lose 2-6 kilos (1-3 kg) within the first week on a strict low-carb diet, after which on average about one pound (0.5 kg) per week as long as you could have a number of weight remaining to lose. Your body may be happily burning your fat stores, decreasing the necessity to eat. Lemon water is a superb drink for weight loss. One research found that power coaching 30 to 40 minutes twice every week for 4 months, may increase a median girl's resting metabolism by 100 calories a day.
That is as a result of, if you exercise earlier than you've got eaten, your physique uses the vitality it's saved in a single day as a result of there's no food in your stomach. There are various issues that assist weight loss apart from a fad weight loss program and exercising occasionally. Studies on low-carb diets show which you could even achieve a bit of muscle whereas losing important amounts of physique fats ( sixteen ).

Nine-year-old Russian schoolboy hailed a hero after saving family from blazing home
PHOTO: CATERS/WWW.MAGAZINEFEATURES.CO.ZA
This heroic nine-year-old schoolboy saved his two baby nieces and his mother from the family's burning wooden home seconds before a gas canister exploded.
Little Pavel Ivanov had to be hospitalised after plunging into the smoke-filled house, twice, to rescue his loved ones just before the explosion reduced the home to a blackened shell.
The fire, in the village of Baidullino in central Russia's Ulyanovsk Oblast region, was allegedly caused by children playing with matches.
When Pavel returned home, he found a huge blaze around the doorway and immediately dived into the burning building.
He grabbed his one-year-old niece Alice and her sister Violetta (2) and carried them outside to safety where he left them with neighbours.
And then, as onlookers called firefighters stationed 10km away, he ran back inside the fiery home for the second time.
He woke up his mother, Svetlana Samarkina, who had been taking a nap and hadn't realised her home was ablaze.
She later said, "I ran out when Pavel woke me up, I looked back through the window and everything was on fire."
Pavel said that by then the house was filled with smoke and it was almost impossible to breathe.
"I saw fire and rushed inside, I didn't feel scared, well maybe I got a little bit scared," Pavel said.
"I thought I could put out the fire but I couldn't so I grabbed the little ones and rushed outside with them."
Pavel, who one day hopes to become a fireman, will receive a bravery award when doctors declare him well enough to leave hospital.
He wasn't seriously injured but he inhaled a lot of smoke and doctors wanted to monitor him for a week.


The development of new frameworks for solid electrolytes that exhibit fast Li-ion diffusion is critical for enabling new energy storage technologies. Here, we present a combined experimental and computational investigation into the ionic conductivity of Li6Y(BO3)3, a new class of solid electrolytes with a pseudo-layered structure. Temperature-dependent impedance spectroscopy shows the pristine material exhibits an ionic conductivity of 2.2×10-3 S/cm􀀀 around 400°C, while density functional theory calculations point to multiple remarkably low-energy diffusion pathways. Our calculations indicate small energy barriers for lithium interstitials to diffuse along one-dimensional channels oriented in the c-direction, and also for lithium vacancies diffusing within ac planes. This coexistence of diffusion mechanisms indicates that Li6Y(BO3)3 is an extremely versatile host for exploring and understanding mechanisms for lithium-ion conductivity. We find no evidence for reactivity with moisture in the atmosphere and that the material is electrochemically stable when in direct contact with metallic lithium. This robust stability, alongside ionic conductivity that can be manipulated through appropriate aliovalent substitution, make Li6Y(BO3)3 an exceptionally promising new class of solid electrolyte.

Leduc's new library opened its doors on Monday, February 2, 2015 to a multitude of patrons wanting to see the facility. Parents with young children took full advantage of the new, bright children's section. Others were impressed by the open feeling the new building presents with its floor to ceiling windows, an impressive reading area, which includes a fireplace, and the areas that display various works of art.
The library also has two meeting rooms, the Karl Martin Room named after Leduc's first librarian and the Friends of Leduc Library Room named after the organization that has support the library over the pass thirty years.
Patrons will be impressed by the use of technology in returning and checking out books, which has been streamlined reducing the waiting time for these procedures.
The high ceiling absorbs sound and produces an almost cathedral like feeling when entering the library, which is only increased by the spacious open areas. The Library's mission statement of providing a service that connects citizens to the widest range of ideas, information, and materials has been greatly enhanced.

Q: jquery animate does not work on mouseover I just wrote a jquery, and I have no idea why is isn't working. Any help is appreciated!
$(document).ready(function() {
$("navbar").mouseover(function(){
        $("navbar").animate({height:'60px'});
}
$("navbar").mouseout(function(){
    $("navbar").animate({height:'40px'});
    }
});

I want it to be that when you mouse over it, it grows taller, and when your mouse leaves, it goes back to normal (40px)
Navbar is a div later on btw.

A: You need to define navbar as either an ID or a class by using .navbar or #navbar right now it's trying to select an HTML element called <navbar></navbar>

In the last part I explained how the Joggler boots its retail firmware, and the ways in which the boot process can be interfered with. The first step to getting somewhere is to get a proper bootloader on there; one that can give you access to an EFI shell and tools, and can boot other things without fiddly editing of scripts or pressing ESC repeatedly.
rEFIt is a Mac EFI bootloader which gives you a nice graphical menu of possible EFI programs to boot, and comes with a shell and tools. It's not the ideal bootloader for Linux since it can't directly load a Linux kernel, but it can load an EFI GRUB binary for that. I don't want to rely on rEFIt permanently because I don't know how to build it or where to obtain a binary of guaranteed provenance; this defeats the point of the "booting stock Debian" exercise; but it's a useful tool while messing around with the boot configuration.
The rEFIt binaries available from the project itself don't work on the Joggler; Apple invented a "fat" EFI binary format that supports both 32-bit and 64-bit x86, but this isn't in the EFI spec and non-Mac implementations don't support it. Compiling rEFIt from source is also difficult; the toolchain provided by Intel runs on Windows as part of Visual Studio, and the free toolchains that run on Linux are not fully compatible and can't compile rEFIt, at least not with the default configuration.
Pull the "efi" directory out of the tarball and put it on a FAT-formatted USB stick.
Power up the joggler and hammer on ESC until it stops booting and drops to the invisible builtin shell.
Pick "Start EFI Shell", then hit ESC to stop that shell from executing startup.nsh (which would just boot the original firmware).
Now, when it powers on, it will boot rEFIt (always, no matter what's on any inserted USB device) and offer the choice of all the EFI binaries found on any connected device; at minimum, the boot.efi on the internal eMMC which boots the original firmware (which will still work if selected; nothing has been replaced). You can now start GRUB or elilo or any other EFI program you like directly from the USB stick without needing to create a startup.nsh or boot.nsh for it, and get to the EFI shell (primarily to be able to change the boot manager config) any time. This is a pretty handy setup for further boot experimentation, and when I've sorted out a "real" Linux bootloader I can replace rEFIt with it using the same procedure.

Out of the Abyss | Into Darkness Again
On November 23, 2015 November 24, 2015 By PallcommIn Roleplaying Games
Fleeing from Demogorgon lent the party desperate speed and determination, despite their exhaustion and wounds. It was several hours before they stopped and took stock of their situation. Their hastily constructed sacks had ripped, spilling out a sizeable amount of coin behind them. They would not turn back though.
A quick discussion would turn their steps again north and west, making towards Blingdenstone. It would be the most welcoming of Underdark cities, even given its proximity to the City of Spiders. Jimjar would be helpful here as he could guide them.
It was several days into the journey when trouble first arose.
Their pace slowed while passing through a large, gas-filled cavern. The low ceiling kept the party ducking and crouched trying to keep their heads out of the poisonous green fumes. The party proceeded cautiously, but after several hours, they noticed someone following behind them in the gas and mist, just beyond their darkvision range.
Omarius slowed and hid while the others passed. As his wild shape spider form spotted drow scouts in pursuit of the party, he rushed back to find the party already engaged in combat. Worse yet, there were more to follow. Dispatching the scouts as quickly as possible, the party eschewed safety and ran, trying to reach the edge of the cavern, hoping to ignite the gas and throw off their pursuers. They barely made it to the edge when Dareth ignited the gas, throwing him down the tunnel and caving in the opening. Even through the dust and wall, they could hear multiple explosions as the cavern detonated in sequence. The party limped away, exhausted, hurt, and hoping they ended the pursuit… for now.
Though travel through the Underdark is never easy, for the next while, the party did not encounter much in the way of danger, only endless deep caverns, tight passageways, glowing crystals and fungi, and non-stop walking and backtracking.
Only a few days out from Blingdenstone, the party's mood began to brighten. The prospect of getting proper beds and civilization was almost present. However, the Underdark does not care about those things, as a sinkhole collapsed in front of the party, nearly pitching in Dareth, at the same time, the wall of the tunnel burst in from behind.
The umber hulk clawed and downed Omarius, looking for a quick meal, its confusing gaze catching more than one party member unaware as they stared aimlessly at the hypnotic eyes. It took several rounds of frantic combat before gazes were averted and the combined blows from weapons were able to bring down the beast, the final strike delivered by Cormyn's spiritual weapon to its brainpan.
Hope-beyond-hope, and praying to whatever deities they believed in, that they would soon find shelter in Blingdenstone…

Richard decides to leave Sylvia, his lifelong imaginary friend and lover for Gbemi, an actual human being. Filled with passion and love, the two devotees embark on a journey of commitment.
Time and life go on, leaving Richard in a dicey situation. He is then faced with the decision on a future and full commitment, either to the real world with its demands, or the surreal world that houses an increasingly frustrated Sylvia.
Events unfold leading Richard on a downward spiral. The film ends shockingly and unforgettably.
Written by Vanessa Kanu and directed by Daniel Oriahi, the film also stars Ini Dima Okojie, Udoka Oyeka, Lolo 1, Ijeoma Grace Agu, Lord Frank and Bolaji Ogunmola among others.
Sylvia is the first feature film for AMVCA recipient TRINO. It was screened for the first time at the annual film festival, Nollywood Week Paris, organised by Okada Media.
