Born in Carrara on Corellia, Keeya Maelii Desric Waryn, known to the galaxy as Keeya Waryn, grew up on the desert word Argai with her younger sister, Crislyn Anessa Waryn. Her childhood was, for the most part, a happy one spent playing in the fields and jungles. She completed her academic studies in the small village she lived in, choosing to stay with her mother, Leila Jaed Desric Waryn , rather than attend the Ascaron Academy. She spent most of her free time working in the mechanic's shop where her mother was employed. At age 18, she decided to leave home and travel around the galaxy. Not long after leaving home, she joined the [http://http://holocron.swcombine.com/wiki/Rebel_Alliance Rebel Alliance] and became caught up in the battle between good and evil.
The first 12 months of Keeya's life were spent on the planet Corellia in the city of Carrara where she lived with her parents, Leila and Aydyn. Her days were spent playing with her mother in the yard of their two-story dwelling while her father went to work. When Aydyn returned home, Leila and Keeya would meet him at the door with hugs and kisses before he would help his wife prepare the evening meal. Evenings were spent playing games of Peek-a-Boo, Where's the Bantha, You're This Big, and Patty cake. At bedtime, her parents took turns reading her favourite stories, The Littlest Bantha and The Little Bantha That Could. On days both her parents were free of obligations, they would prepare a picnic and take Keeya to the park so she could play with other children. She would often attract a stray animal and hold it out for them to see. On the occasions the elder Waryns reacted squeamishly, she would giggle and try to show her find to them again. This all came to an end the day her father rushed into the house and explained that a business deal went very wrong and he needed to get them safely away from Corellia before the consequences could affect them. They spent one day at Leila's parents' resort while Aydyn made arrangements for them to get off planet.
From the Desric's Corellian resort, they made their way to Abregado-rae to spend a few days with Aydyn's parents before disappearing where they took their daughter to see the seligore. The next six months were a whirlwind of travel. Their first stop after visiting family was the Teyr System. On the planet Teyr, the family of three made their way to the Teyr Rift and rode the Rift Skyrail to better view the breath-taking natural beauty of the 4,000 kilometer long canyon as well as the herds of groats that inhabited it. One of the next stops they made was to visit the Eclipse Hotel in Bellassa's capitol city. From there, they traveled to Brentaal IV to see the Sel Zonn Station and make use of several establishments on the Promenade. A stop in the Taanab System was only long enough to replenish their supplies and buy a few new outfits for each of them. On Centares, they stopped to visit the famous Aviary where Keeya just had to have one of the singing plush songbirds sold in the gift shop. They never stayed in one place for more than a few days and never decided where to go until they got there. Mama and Daddy tried to make the best of the chaos by taking Keeya to culturally important monuments, exhibits and buildings as well as the tourist sites.
It wasn't until their second week on the run that Leila discovered she was expecting another child. Not really understanding what was going on, Keeya would pet Mama's belly as she gibber jabbered happily. As her mother's womb grew over the months, she played games by poking at her belly until she felt the baby move or kick. Other times she would lay her head on Mama's belly, make her songbird sing and giggle when her brother or sister moved or hiccupped and at night she would snuggle between her parents and wrap herself around "her" baby. When Leila began to experience sharp pains, they headed to the planet Lianna in search of medical help. The premature labour pains were determined to be caused by the stress of their journey and the doctor told them that the baby would need to be monitored more closely. The doctor mentioned that the best medical care she could receive would be at the Foothill Medical Centre on the planet Argai and the elder Waryns decided that's where they would go next and stay for the remaining six weeks of the pregnancy.
Keeya gradually refocused her attention from her absent father to her new sister and as the months wore on, she would entertain Crissy with games of Peek-a-Boo, making funny faces at her and making her songbird sing. She loved sharing her toys and was delighted when her sister began to return the play. The moment she was able to pick Crislyn up, she would carry her around the house, showing her all the best hiding places and trying to teach her to walk. These lessons often frustrated their mother, but she didn't have the heart to put a stop to them and Crissy seemed to love the attention. As Keeya learned to dress herself, brush her hair, and read, she would pass her knowledge on to her sister – proving to be a patient teacher. When the girls were enrolled in playschool together, Keeya would often be sent home with messages for her mother about bullying anyone she thought was hurting her sister and Leila would have to sit them down to explain they neither of them could always have what they wanted when they wanted it and that they would have to share with the other children.
Keeya's first taste of employment off Argai was as a pilot of a privately owned Colossus-class Heavy Liner, but a mishap causing a botched docking ended her employment even though the fault was not hers. She has spent a few years wandering around the galaxy taking odd jobs or stealing what she needed. When she tired of having nothing to call her own and realized just how unjust the Galactic Empire is, she decided to join the Rebel Alliance.
Keeya's time with the Rebel Alliance saw her work her way through flight school and come out with her own command. When tensions rose between several Starfighter pilots, she asked for and received a transfer to the Army Command where she stayed until tensions throughout both the Alliance and SoroSuub became too much to handle. Shortly after her sad farewell to her former home, she was craftily wooed into the fold of the Falleen Federation.
Her life with the Federation began as a promising adventure. Keeya began her short lived career as a Chief Petty Officer assigned to Falleen Naval Contracts. The subsidiary of the Falleen Federation was then run by one Landion Dominic. She was quickly promoted to Lieutenant and given her own command. Those under her command included a Duros by the name of Cern Dragoon. This is where her life within the Federation began to unravel. As the commanding officer of this little unit of builders, miners, and haulers, it was her duty to keep her people in line. When her superior officers continued to let Dragoon's insubordination go unchecked, she pulled him off a project and replaced him with another member of her team. Much like a child of five years, Dragoon went over her head to tell a sob story of how she was picking on him. Not being a faction that supports their female officers, the Federation sided with this disrespectful lower ranking officer. After wooing Keeya into the Falleen Federation fold with promises of equivalent rank to what she had with the New Republic, quick promotion, and monetary bonuses, the Federation turned its back on her.
To make things even worse soon after joining the Federation, the wrongful king, Bisz Aldaris, made a rare live visit to answer questions put forth by the people. Keeya asked one question to which Aldaris could simply and politely have directed her toward Federation history literature, he instead spent roughly fifteen minutes shouting at her about how she was wasting his time asking pointless questions over and over again. When asked to apologize for treating her badly, he refused. After several months and incidents similar to the previously mentioned, Keeya discovered that she was accused of being a part of an assassination attempt on the wrongful king's life. The accusation was brought forth by Landion Dominic, a member of the Federation Ministry who was an integral part of the plot himself. When nothing came of the false accusation, he decided that he needed to get rid of her. Catching wind of this, she packed her things and left without a word to anyone.
A short term with Starsign Mining left her prospecting for any materials that could be pulled from the ground, however this did not last very long and she decided to look elsewhere. Keeya spent several months traveling throughout the galaxy looking for possible opportunities to put her skills to good use. Relying solely on the income from various business ventures, she lived a very comfortable life. Nearly a year later, she began to work for the Tresario Star Kingdom (formerly Sons and Daughters of Freedom). However, her past would come back to haunt her when a new leader was brought in. A man named Landion Dominic. It was at that moment that she realized the Falleen Federation would instill its own personality upon the government until there was nothing left to salvage of the promising young democracy. She could see the changes happening immediately and when Dominic offered no apology whatsoever, it was once again time to move on.
Before she had time to wonder what she would do next, Keeya was offered a security position within the ranks of the newly formed InterGalactic Banking Clan. She accepted the offer happily, though this employment only lasted a few months due to the sudden demotion from Chief of Security to a clerk without provocation. Not long after, an old friend offered her a position in the faction he founded, but before she could even think about the offer, it was retracted by the current leader. When asked why he refused to allow her employment, she was told that his reason was entirely personal and based on false accusations made by a former faction mate from her days in the NR. She asked him to get to know her for himself, but he refused. She shrugged her shoulders and turned her back, refusing to have anything to do with people who obviously cannot think for themselves.

MCPR is a trade association providing unique educational and social gatherings of the Minnesota and Upper Midwest crop input industry. Through meetings, trade shows, the MCPR website, newsletter, golf outings and numerous other programs we offer educational programs, training programs and an industry trade show. Attending MCPR gatherings are the key Minnesota crop input personnel who are the decision makers, operators, and public policy leaders of the Minnesota and upper Midwest crop input industry. MCPR membership focus is equipment, the Big Iron of all colors, specialty products, seed, fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, cutting edge technology, the latest precision ag software and equipment, ag dealer staff and managers, cooperative leaders, ag industry executives, regulators, lawmakers, state and federal ag department staff and leadership, University administers, faculty and researchers, young and/or seasoned chemical applicators, Technical Service Providers (TSP's), Certified Crop Advisers, Independent Crop Consultants.
MCPR Soil Fertility/Environmental Risk Assessment Tool is a web based software has been developed under the direction of our MCPR members' Precision Ag staff experts which has addressed the current challenge in the market place for ag retailers and growers which is that the precision ag programs are proprietary so that common data collection and aggregation are not possible. We solved that problem by creating this web based software and data collection process which allows the agronomy sales person to use their proprietary system within their established trusted relationship with their growers without the agronomy staff having to do double entry into this software. Rather, the software allows the agronomy sales person to drop their geospatial field data into the assessment software tool prior to presenting it to the grower, allowing the grower to examine at the point of sale the alternative environmentally sensitive field practices to increase their environment score, and also generates a profit and loss estimate to evaluate the profitability of each practice consideration so they can estimate the ROI on each decision prior to a final determination of nutrient application. We have been working with U of MN faculty and MN Dept. of Ag regulators to develop and test precise environmental risk metrics which can serve to be evaluated on predictability, reliability and sensitivity. We then allow the agronomy sales person to request that the grower allow our system to confidentially store with the grower's permission the data for aggregated collection of current field practices across our agricultural acres in Minnesota to track current practices and trends for improving the environmental metrics. This program has been developed to be scalable from water shed, to county, to state and nationally. The farming practices within this software are divided according to the 4R's practices. Additionally, the metrics within this software account for each of the 4R's as part of the reporting system.

Q: How to set background color on stacks in SwiftUI I'm trying to utilize the light & dark mode in SwiftUI, but I am struggling to get an elevated color that fits for both light and dark mode. Such as the SystemGray(0-6) colors that Apple showcased.
I have attempted to use .background(Color.primary/secondary) on my VStack or HStack and it doesn't seem to get a nice color. It's either Black or Dark Gray. There doesn't seam to be the tertiary or quaternary colors that Apple talked about. How would I get the color of the app to match the health app? Light grey screen background with white backgrounds for the buttons in light mode and then in dark mode have a black background and dark gray buttons?
Currently, in my code below, I am using a blue background just for testing as primary/secondary does not work. Has anyone found a way to get this working properly?
                VStack
                {
                    Text("8:20").fontWeight(.semibold).font(.system(size: 80)).foregroundColor(.primary)
                    Text("Hours worked").font(.body).foregroundColor(.secondary)
                }
                .padding()
                .background(Color.blue)
                .cornerRadius(15)
                .shadow(radius: 10)

A: Looks like SwiftUI Color class has a limited amount of colours, it seems incomplete. I needed the default background colour so I could add some transparency.
The UIColor class has systemBackground which was exactly what I needed. I was able to solve my problem using this:
VStack(){ /** Code here **/}.background(Color(UIColor.systemBackground).opacity(0.95))
You might find more colours that fit what you want in UIColor.
https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/visual-design/color/

A: I may be misunderstanding your issue, but are you asking about determining if the device is in light or dark mode? (Your sample code works the same in both modes)? If so, have you tried using the Environment variable colorScheme?
@Environment (\.colorScheme) var colorScheme:ColorScheme

And an example on usage for theming:
extension Color {
    static let blue = Color.blue
    static let yellow = Color.yellow

    static func backgroundColor(for colorScheme: ColorScheme) -> Color {
        if colorScheme == .dark {
            return yellow
        } else {
            return blue
        }
    }
}

struct ContentView: View {
    @Environment (\.colorScheme) var colorScheme:ColorScheme
    var body: some View {
        VStack
        {
            Text("8:20").fontWeight(.semibold).font(.system(size: 80)).foregroundColor(.primary)
            Text("Hours worked").font(.body).foregroundColor(.secondary)
        }
        .padding()
        .background(Color.backgroundColor(for: colorScheme))
        .cornerRadius(15)
        .shadow(radius: 10)
    }
}

A: The best solution for this case is to derive system color from UIColor.
Color(uiColor: UIColor.systemGray6)

If you need custom theme dependent color you can configure a custom color set in Assets.xcassets. There you can define one color for light mode and a different color for dark mode. Then just use this color set name throughout your app as you would with any other color name.
In Assets.xcassets, click the + at the bottom and then "New Color Set".
Give your color a name.
In "Appearances" within the attributes inspector, select "Any, Dark"
You can then set a different color for each and then use it's name as your color in your app.

Last night, McCann Worldgroup employees gathered for a special Thursdays@5 to honor the cultures of the 5 cities/regions being spotlighted for the Global Diversity Coalition's 3rd Cultural Spotlight Week—Sydney, Australia; Johannesburg, South Africa; New Jersey; Manchester, U.K.; and Mexico City, Mexico. Before diving into the evening's festivities, attendees were serenaded by a curated music playlist, and were able to view all the amazing social media video content that the 5 cities had created.
To start off the event, Singleton Beato, MW's Chief Diversity & Engagement Officer, and Nannette Dufour, MW President, Global Clients & Business Leadership, spoke about the importance of diversity in driving creativity, both within McCann Worldgroup and across the advertising industry as a whole. Nannette placed special emphasis on "bringing your whole self to work," noting that creating an environment that fosters that attitude results in better work for our clients.
The highlight of the event was a traditional Mexican mariachi band and dance performance by the Calpulli Mexican Dance Company. The group performed three songs, and then pulled up some members of the audience for a little crowd participation.
After the performance, we indulged in traditional foods and beverages from the spotlighted regions, including chilaquiles (my personal favorite) and tres leches cake (a close second). It was an incredible night and I loved learning about the various cultures! I am looking forward to the next Spotlight Week, slated for the spring of 2019.

I did not snub Ahmed's funeral, I was on assignment in Dagbon-Madina MP explains
The ruling New Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for the Madina Constituency in the Greater Accra Region, Boniface Abubakar Saddique has dispelled accusations that he deliberately refused to attend the funeral of murdered lead journalist for Tiger Eye PI, Ahmed Hussein-Suale.
According to the MP, he was in faraway Northern Region on an official assignment with the vice president, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia with respect to the final funeral rites of the late Yaa Naa Mahamadu Abdulai IV and late Yaa Naa Yakubu Andani II, as well as the selection of the new Yaa Naa, Yoo Naa Abukari Mahama.
''It is true that when the incident happened I was out of town. I was in the North in Yendi specifically. But even that, I sent a delegation to the deceased's house to commiserate with the family. We presented cash towards the burial in accordance with the customs and traditions of the North where the deceased hail from. And when I returned, on Saturday after prayers, I went there with my team and greeted and commiserated with the family again'' he said on Accra based okay fm.
Mr. Abubakar Saddique who is also a Minister of State at the office of the Vice President said as a true northerner and a Muslim, he is abreast with all the traditions of the north and has followed same to the letter, with regards to the funeral of the slain journalist.
According to him, the family of Ahmed Suale are currently in his hometown of Wulensi in the Northern region to perform other funeral rites in accordance with tradition and that when they return, he and his team will visit the family again.
Rumour was rife that the MP together with the Minister for Zongo Development Mustapha Abdul Hamid and a host of other top government officials failed to turn up for the funeral in solidary with politician cum businessman, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong who has been accused of having a hand in the gruesome murder of the journalist, following his pronouncements some time ago.

Q: JQuery Mobile Icons Won't Load - Unless I Use the CDN I'm working on my first PhoneGap app with JQuery Mobile and I've having a problem getting the included icons to show.
When I reference a local instance of the .css file, like so:

link rel="stylesheet" href="css/jquery.mobile-1.0.1.min.css" />

I don't get any icons.  Just dark circles.  I can see that the css is loading, because if I throw in a bogus path the results don't look like JQuery Mobile at all.
But when I reference a CDN, like so:

link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0/jquery.mobile-1.0.min.css" />

I get nice buttons, no problems.  I'm using Firefox to view output, but builds all the way onto an Android device show the same symptoms.
I'd punt and use the CDN, but I'm under the impression that if I want the app to run disconnected, then I should just include the .CSS file.
I've double checked my local CSS and downloaded it a second time, but no change.  Anyone seen anything similar?

A: Make sure you have the jQuery Mobile images directory in the same directory as jquery.mobile-1.0.1.min.css.

A: I've just started with PhoneGap and had the same issue with JQuery Mobile.
Once I added the images under the www folder, I set the Build Action for each image to "Content." By default, mine were set to "Resource."
After this, the images appeared in my Windows Phone Emulator.
Hope this helps.

It is really a bit challenging to use ERP system in construction work other than manufacturing and health sectors. Since, businesses have found few cases of failure regarding ERP in construction industry, therefore, special priority has been given to the factors contributing towards successful & easy ERP implementation in this industry. Unfortunately, nowadays, architect & engineering sectors has encountered various difficulties in meeting defined specifications, budget schedules and other project requirements. Therefore, in today's technological environment, use of external as well as internal resources should be done very carefully & skillfully for getting positive business results.
All the tasks and activities can become successful if they properly follow all the given guidelines for the software implementation and usage. It is noteworthy that the proposed ERP software set-up model completely adapts the McLean's and DeLone information systems success model as well as technology acceptance to integrate the basic project management principles.
During design and development of ERP for construction industry and company, some basic areas must be covered that are tendering, sales management, supplier management, material management, etc. An Enterprise Resource Planning system assists the organizations in efficiently integrating processes and entire data in a single unified place as it has separate modules for covering all basic & major functional areas. It provides effective use to the companies as it understands the organization's construction behaviour & set-up better than anything else. The software solution sometimes also comprises transactions with the customers and suppliers. Implementing ERP in a successful way requires patience, management skills and top level of commitment.
Basically, the best way of drawing positive results from construction management ERP software is making minimum changes to the proposed software. Thus, it is quite necessary for the companies involved in construction to extensively customize the pre-integrated solutions for ERP systems from the vendors. It has helped a lot to the industry, by allowing organizations to manage complex projects and also giving them quick access to progress it.


Ever since my rebellious days growing up in the sixties, I've striven to conserve to remain independent of my folks and still survive. Owning a car that I could keep running myself was instrumental for this purpose.
Some might label me as a conservative. I don't accept that because so many self- proclaimed conservatives are extravagant with lives and cash when it comes to propping up the defense (sic) industry.
It is my classical conservatism that made me a Volkswagen fan starting in high school. My second car was a 1967 Beetle, bought brand new. Family subsidized the purchase but much of the cash came from my job at McDonald's.
I had a choice of a '67 or a '68 Bug and I opted for the '67. The later model had those Ralph Naderesque fat bumpers, high-back seats, and smog devices that turned a slow car into a dog (no offense intended to you dogs out there). Those seats made it seem like an intercom was necessary to communicate front to back. The '67 was the first year for the 12-volt system, making this the ultimate peoples' car.
Unfortunately, that Zenith Blue bug, which cost $2,004.44 was destroyed by a Plymouth Roadrunner full of teenagers with 2,004 miles on the odometer. I've wanted another one ever since. For some reason, I've owned three 1959 Beetles. I once switched the engine in one in less than an hour, in a foot of snow. In researching for the Beetle we just bought, I found the record for the time it took for an engine replacement in a bug is under 7 minutes.
There is a belief that Volkswagen existed at the behest of Adolf Hitler. This is a myth, and a convenient one for people who hate Volkswagen because of what amounts to an act of civil disobedience when they altered the emissions for testing at the EPA. I correlate Volkswagen's cheating to the sit-ins of the civil rights and anti-war movements of The Sixties. For many years before Hitler, German car companies were striving for a car that could be repaired and serviced by anyone.
The '67 bug we found didn't come with the 56-page operator's manual but I found one on Ebay. In the manual it describes tightening the fan belt (by moving shims from between the pulley halves), adjusting the ignition timing, and adjusting the carburetor. Along with John Muir's book, "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive," a few basic tools could keep one mobile and independent.
It may be called "the peoples' car," but mobile and independent is the opposite of a society dedicated to "the people," as used in today's political dialog pitting "the people" against the individual.
Nice picture of Dawn. I love her new accessories!!

Sharp: The tide will turn
Sun 23 Mar 2014, 07:10 AM
Despite slumping to their third straight loss Sharks coach Peter Sharp said his side had delivered a much-needed improvement in their 14-12 defeat at the hands of local rivals St George Illawarra on Saturday night.
Playing off the back of the dreaded five-day turnaround the Sharks showed far more starch in defence compared to their 42-4 capitulation against the Bulldogs on Monday night but again came up empty handed as the Dragons held on to claim their sixth win in the past nine encounters between the sides.
Sharp said the Sharks had the ability to turn around their 0-3 start to the season, their worst since 2010 when they finished 14th.
"We were better. Our tackling was better," Sharp insisted. "We just need to keep working hard, because it will turn for us and we know that."
The Sharks displayed far greater defensive resolve as the Dragons made the most of a first half mountain of possession to build what was ultimately a match-winning lead.
Todd Carney's return from a hamstring injury was also a welcome sight for the home side, and the five-eighth proved himself a handful for the defence all night, getting held up over the line early in the match and consistently taking the line on.
"He brings a massive amount to our team," said Sharp of his former New South Wales pivot. "He might have been a smidge rusty but not very much. He was great, he improved our team no end offensively."
In the end, though, Carney's influence was not enough to get the Sharks over the line with a slew of dropped ball and four second half penalties coming at crucial points in the match.
The Sharks have now scored just 28 points in three rounds of football and desperately await the returns of representative forwards Andrew Fifita, Paul Gallen and Luke Lewis.
Skipper Wade Graham, who was again amongst his side's best with 127 metres and 29 tackles, said there were a number of positives the Sharks could take out of the game.
"I thought there was a lot better energy there in our performance compared to last Monday night, so that's something positive we can take out of it," Graham said.
"When the chips were down the boys dug deep. I thought 'Heino' (Chris Heighington) and Isaac (De Gois) in the middle there really sparked us and got some momentum there in the second half."
Sharp said injured wingers Beau Ryan and Eric Grothe would both be monitored over the coming week in a bid for the pair to be fit for next Sunday's clash with Newcastle at Hunter Stadium.

Unrigging our society to unleash our state's potential
By Jason Huffman | Jan 7, 2020
CHARLESTON – The U.S. economy is booming, resulting in the lowest unemployment rate in fifty years. That's great news for families across the country looking for economic opportunities that will make their version of the American Dream a reality.
Sadly, folks looking to do the same in the Mountain State aren't so lucky. While there are pockets of progress, too many West Virginians are missing out on the strongest U.S. economy in our lifetime.
Why? Because for decades, a good old boy system drove out competition and any hope for economic diversity. The state government created a top-down, protectionist-driven regulatory system that served its interests over that of the common people.
I'm proud of what West Virginians can accomplish despite the obstacles in their way. Generations of my family and thousands of others have mined and farmed to make a tough but honest living and provide for their families in a place where that isn't always easy. Because of their sacrifices that allowed our family to stay in the state we love, I've been blessed to witness the determination and true grit that constitutes the spirit of all West Virginians. Its high time that we unleash the power of that spirit by coming together in order to remove the barriers that have held us back for too long.
We know what works. Instead of top-down mandates, bottom-up approaches that empower individuals to find and enact solutions are more practical and effective.
First, we must prioritize reforming our outdated and two-tiered criminal justice system. We must focus on reforming sentencing so that the punishment truly fits the crime. Policies should restore victims and laws should be smart on crime and soft on taxpayers. President Donald Trump signed the bipartisan First Step Act, which allows people who have paid their debt to society a second chance, and we should look to make similar reforms in West Virginia.
Next, we need to keep government within its means. Lawmakers should reject tax hikes, spending increases and budget gimmicks. Struggling West Virginians cannot afford to pay for out-of-control spending. Instead, policymakers should be looking to enact the kind of comprehensive, pro-growth tax reform that puts money back in the pockets of every West Virginian. To do so, lawmakers need to rid the tax code of special interest giveaways and end corporate welfare schemes, starting with greyhound racing subsidies. Government should not be picking economic winners and losers.
West Virginians deserve an economy that works for everyone—where every person can earn success and live a meaningful life. But too often, well intentioned rules and regulations get in the way, and are implemented without an accurate understanding of the impact they have on everyday West Virginians' lives and wallets. Creating a Legislative Office of Fiscal and Regulatory Affairs would provide lawmakers and citizens with unbiased knowledge on the real impact of regulations to help them make smarter decisions for our state.
We should also commit to lessening the burden of unnecessary occupational licensure and empower more people to find fulfilling work. Many times, instead of protecting the public, these licenses merely limit competition and keep honest folks out of an occupation. West Virginia needs to review all licensure through a lens of best practices and least-restrictive means of ensuring public health and safety.

Our judicial system lacks sufficient checks and balances, resulting in a significant absence of accountability. West Virginia needs a system that is fair, predictable, and provides conclusive decisions. To achieve that, we need to join 41 other states in creating an Intermediate Court of Appeals.
The status quo for our children's education needs to change. We should continue to reimagine our K-12 education system to help students fulfill their potential. Every child deserves access to the educational opportunity that is right for them, regardless of their ZIP code or family's income.
If you want to turn the state around in five years instead of 25, join us. These and other proven solutions will get West Virginians back on the path to prosperity.

Clayton Bigsby, Tyrone Biggums, The Player Haters Ball as well as The Racial Draft. True fans understand these are all classic skits from the top comedian of all time. The Chappelle's Show represented a generation in the early 2000's when Dave Chappelle was on top of his game.
The craft of stand-up comedy is currently in a bit of a recession. In the 80's and 90's comics such as Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock and Adam Sandler would often make on stage appearances and have thousands of fans falling out of their seats.
Comedy shows are back and seem to be growing in popularity once again. Thanks to Jim Gaffigan, Joe Rogan and Kevin Hart; the comedy genre has endured losing some of its biggest stars.
Chappelle decided to work on himself rather than comedy which made it look he was shying away from the public eye. Chappelle turned down a huge contract from Comedy Central and instead traveled to South Africa to spend some time away from comedy.
Slowly but certainly Chappelle has come back in to the limelight. He might be twice as amusing, although his comedic style is more reserved nowadays. New stories and routines have been added due to his new perspective on life after being away from comedy for so long. If you are interested in seeing Chappelle live you can find tickets here!

The Woodridge Police Department is frequently contacted by residents who have been targeted by a telephone scam in which the caller asks for personal information or money via the telephone. These callers often impersonate a family member, government or banking institutions to trick or swindle the victim. The Woodridge Police Department has subsequently provided information from the FBI on how to protect yourself and your family from these scams.
•	"You've won a 'free' gift, vacation, or prize." But you have to pay for "postage and handling" or other charges.
•	"You must send money, give a credit card or bank account number, or have a check picked up by courier." You may hear this before you have had a chance to consider the offer carefully.
•	"You don't need to check out the company with anyone." The callers say you do not need to speak to anyone including your family, lawyer, accountant, local Better Business Bureau, or consumer protection agency.
If you hear these or similar "lines" from a telephone salesperson, just say "no thank you" and hang up the telephone. If they continue to call, report the harassment to a police officer by calling 9-1-1.

10 Incredible SUP Destinations for Winter
Winter has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere. That means days are shorter and a whole lot colder. For skiers, it's great news. But it's not so good for those who love to standup paddleboard (SUP). However, there's no need to wait until spring or summer to hit the water. Why not travel to where it's warm and soak up some rays? What is more, iSUPs are a breeze to travel with. They are easy to check at the airport and they actually roll up into a duffel bag. (Be sure to check out our Top Tips for Easy Air Travel with Your iSUP too).
Standup paddleboarding (SUP) is believed to have started in Hawaii in the 1960s. It was the "Beach Boys of Waikiki" that made its fame by paddling out with their longboards so that tourists could take pics. By the 1990s a surf pioneer named Laird Hamilton popularized SUPs. Today, standup paddleboarding is the fastest growing watersport in the US (and in many other countries too).
One of the best spots in Hawaii for a iSUP is at Sunset Beach on the north shore of Oahu. We also happen to be fond of the more remote Nā Pali Coast. So much so that we even named our first iSUP after it!

The Bahamas are a place where dreams come true for iSUPs fans. There are 120 long miles of islands with wonderfully warm and clear water. Abacos is the cool spot for SUPs. It is where you can glide the deep aqua green ocean of colorful reefs and striking marine life such as sea turtles, unique crabs and parrotfish.
Puerto Vallarta is the perfect place under the sun for iSUPs enthusiasts. The waters are extraordinarily calm and soothing. You can glide easily along the waters of Bandera Bay while catching a glimpse of humpback whales, sea turtles and dolphins.

South Africa offers a variety of waves and some striking country. Some of the ideal spots for iSUP fans are near Cape Town at Blouberg and Sunset Beath. Another popular location is Langebaan Lagoon, it is known for being a great spot for first-timers and beginners.
Chorrillos, Peru
[Photo Credit: Trip Advisor]
To many, Peru may sound like an improbable spot. But it's actually where Chorrillos hosted the World SUP & Paddleboard Championships. Chorrillos is south of Lima and offers many great beaches for the novice and experienced.
Namotu Island, Fiji
Touring Fiji is always a memorable experience. Their culture and people are both fascinating and beautiful. Their beaches are no different and Namotu Island is exclusively located by all of Fijis best breaks. That includes the famous Cloudbreak!
St. Lucia, Caribbean
There is nothing quite like St. Lucia. It is the ideal combo of quiet waters, lush scenery and private bays for ultimate sightseeing on an iSUP. Experience the great island life of continual rainforests, the Twin pitons (twin peaks) and the pristine blue-green waters of the area.
Lanazarote, UK
This is an often missed location by many because it is near the popular Fuerteventra . So if you like privacy and quiet, Lanzarote offers the peacefulness and flat water. And for enthusiasts, you can also find world class wave riding adventure that you have never experienced before. There are numerous reef breaks, rocky shores, and crystal clear lagoons that are unforgettable. There is also some nice down winding.
Morocco is renowned for its challenging waves and long liquid walls. But it also offers a gentler experience for those who like their waves quiet. Some of the best locations in Morocco are in Mirleft. It is known for its remarkable beaches, points and reefs, beach breaks and consistent swells.

A great spot for wave-hunters and novices alike, the Galapagos Islands are an iSUP paddler's heaven. Not only are the waves great but there is an abundance of land and sea life such as rays, sea turtles, sea lions, penguins, reef sharks, blue-footed boobies and marine iguanas that lounge on the rocks nearby.

The Persistent Shading of Bisexuality Is Highly Problematic
I was 21, sitting on the grass of Tompkins Square Park in New York's East Village. It's the end of my first semester of college, and I recently quit going to the weekly Campus Crusade for Christ meetings when I realized that I felt more alive and honest hanging out with my new, queer and artsy friends at house parties
Holding forties in paper bags, my college friend and I chatted with her friend Chetta. She'd told me that Chetta was an out-and-proud gay woman a few years older than us, and I'd been looking forward to meeting her. Chetta went to a Seven Sisters school and was about to start law school. I went to a state school and was trying to figure out what to be when I grew up. I hoped I wouldn't be too intimidated to make a good impression.
"So what's your deal?" Chetta asked me.
"My deal?"
"Yeah. You straight, gay?"
"I'm bisexual," I said.
That was the best word for how I felt at the time. I had crushes on guysespecially pretty guys whose soulful eyes gave off vulnerability vibesand I was in love with the way it felt when they pursued mebut when it came to eroticism, I never fantasized about sex with men, and needed to think about women in order to get off. That afternoon in the park, I was barely out at all. My parents would freak if they knew. But now, I lived on the Lower East Side. I could be myself. The Meow Mix bar was just a few blocks away, although I hadn't yet darkened its doorway. I planned to check it out soon.
"Are you really?" Chetta asked. "Or are you just a coward?"
"I don't believe in bisexuality," Chetta said, tossing her fluffy mullet.
I felt like someone had just dumped a bucket of cold water on my heart.
"How can you say that when you're a lesbian?" I asked. "Isn't that hypocritical?"
"Not at all," Chetta said, "given how many," she air-quoted with her fingers, "'bisexuals' have broken my heart. Do you know how many of my ex-girlfriends left me for men? It's bad for gay people. It's bad for gay rights. It makes guys think that all lesbians are available!"
I debated with Chetta until I noticed, with horror, that my eyes were filling with tears. I still cry when I'm angry, and when I'm frustrated. It's unfortunately the way I'm wired. I've since learned to think of a word, and then think of a word that begins with each letter in that word. It helps. But I did not know that then. I got up and walked away. I walked away from Chetta, and I walked away from the uncomplicated truth of who I was, and from the idea that I could blossom into myself safely in lesbian circles.
I'd grown up going to church every Sunday, saying grace before meals at home, writing in my prayer journal before bed, and getting dunked in various man-made and natural bodies of water to be baptized and born again (and again). I remember the cake afterwards (sheet, decorated with pastel wire-and-tulle butterflies) more than I remember any feelings of inner transformation.
On any given Sunday, the pastor might preach about forgiveness, grace, or patience, but every now and then he'd devote a whole sermon to the evils of homosexuality. I didn't yet have a sense of my sexuality, but I did know that it felt different. As I sat in the pew, I felt guilt and fear and dread. And sadness.
In the church, I had been groomed to feel wrong and ashamed of who I was, and that old puzzle piece fit perfectly into Chetta's reductive and judgmental picture, too. Church and Chetta had no love for me.
After that day in the park, I ended up in relationships with men. They pursued me, and I enjoyed them on a lot of levels. If I had been less cowed by Chetta, I would have confidently pursued relationships with women, and I would have had a chance to notice how much I love being with them. It would have showed me that as much as I liked being intimate with men, in retrospect, it felt like settling, like camping out near my ultimate fulfillment instead of living in the hot heart of it. I skipped a developmental step, and it ended up costing me and the man I married dearlywhen I fell in love with a woman at the age of 35, at a time when I was strong enough, individuated enough, to see that I could actually live a life that made me happy instead of living my life according to other people's values and approval.
In fairness to Chetta, it was 1994 when she read me her riot act. Most people were still very hung up on seeing the world through a binary lens. Gay or straight, not the glorious smorgasbord of nuanced sexual identities that we can find ourselves within today.
I have been with my wife, Laura, for nine years and ten months. For 11 years, I haven't felt desire for a man. The truest thing for me to call myself is a lesbian. But the truest thing for me to call myself on the grass in Tompkins Square Park in 1994 was bisexual. The timeframe between 1994 and 2007, that's trickier. But I also don't feel the need to get all forensic about it.
To help other women like me, I edited two anthologies, Dear John, I Love Jane: Women Write about Leaving Men for Women (Seal Press, 2010) and Greetings from Janeland: Women Write More about Leaving Men for Women (Cleis Press, 2017). I have celebrated and affirmed the new paradigms we are fortunate to live innot just marriage equality, but a "So what?" reaction to women who formerly identified as straight moving into gloriously fulfilling same-sex relationships. I feel so lucky that I can just live my life and love my wife without being buttonholed and interrogated about it by straight or gay people, and I think that if Chetta and I were to have that conversation today, it would be a different one (at least, I hope so).
That's why I was so shocked by what happened at a Greetings from Janeland event in Albuquerque's Bookworks bookstore just one month ago. I shared about the Chetta conversation during the discussion, and a 28-year-old woman piped up to say, "That just happened to me. I'm bisexual, I am married to a man. I don't know if I have a female soul mate or a male soul mate, but I definitely know that he is my person. And my friend, a lesbian, told me that I was a coward, that bisexuality was a phase, and that my marriage was a sham."
As I looked into her honest brown eyes, I felt my throat clutch with pain. Here it is, 2017, and a certain subset of lesbians still feel entitled to throw shade at queer women who don't identify as 100% lesbian. If there's anything I've learned along the way, it's that trying to stick people into tidy categories is a fool's errand. One of the women who contributed her story to Dear John, I Love Jane is now partnered with a man; they are married and she recently had a child with him. One of the contributors to Greetings from Janeland divorced her husband after she realized she loved women, but later found that she was happiest with a man, in an open relationship.
Chetta might read this story and punch the air, yelling, "I knew it! You're actually a lesbian!" but unless I'm the only one she berated, she's done so to bisexuals who are still bisexual, or who perhaps now identify as straight, or asexual, or as non-binary, masculine-of-center, gluten-free pansexuals. People who want to sort stuff into tidy categorieswhether they are born-again Christians putting same-sex desire into the sin category, or lesbians putting bisexual desire into the phase categoryshould really go find a bucket of mismatched Legos. Now that's a worthy (and perversely satisfying) quest.
Throwing shade at a person's sexuality is not just misguided, but counterproductive. Oh yeah, and it hurts. Here's my message to the judgy gays out there: If you really want to help a queer person who is at the beginning of their journey, show them something they haven't been able to reliably find with family, at church, or in their straight-girls book club: open-minded acceptance and support. It's a win-win. Just think of how many messy, surprising, unexpected, delicious, and true things might be inside you, waiting to surface, waiting for you to relax enough to let them.

The multidisciplinary nature of information visualization is today fairly consensual in both professional and academic communities: data analysis, information design, storytelling, among other subjects, are common drivers in this field. The systematic study of this cross-fertilization, patent in the way the concept's definition varies according to the perspective being adopted, represents an important and needed addition to the critical mass of a relatively recent area of knowledge. The proposal of a single unified definition of information visualisation being beyond the scope of this paper, it instead summons and discusses its multiple viewpoints to help designing a postgraduate program on the topic, aiming to simultaneously start an open debate as its implementation phase goes on and new questions are subsequently raised.

Q: In the song 'Come together', I want to know the meaning of 'over' I like the song "Come Together" by the Beatles. However, I don't know the exact meaning of the word "over" in the lyrics:

[Chorus]
  Come together, right now
Over me

A: With "come together", the object of over is the cause, justification, basis, or occasion of an action whose purpose is to attain or express agreement, covenant, unity, solidarity, or camaraderie.

They discussed the deal over a cup of coffee.
They celebrated their success over a few beers at the pub.
To express our gratitude we come together over a thanksgiving feast.

Consider also the notion of "covenant over dead victims" described here (pp. 146-47).
And this, about a balloonist setting a world record for the highest skydive:

"The online global community came together for an hour to witness
  history and I don't recall anything like it. Everyone was positively
  giddy. For an hour we came together over one breathtaking event."
  Derman Scott, (The New Rules of Marketing & PR )

The breathtaking event, as it was watched and shared by the online community, was an occasion for them to unite.
P.S. With "fighting", "disagreeing", etc. the object of over is the cause, justification, basis, or occasion of dissent.

The dogs were fighting over a bone.
The siblings had a falling out over how to divide the estate.
They had a disagreement over States rights versus Federal powers.

A: As always, Lennon's lyrics can have many interpretations. My own is in keeping with the unifying sentiment of the times. Each verse describes a person who is divisive in some way. The chorus tells us to "come together," to put aside our differences, "over" the person in the verse, that is, over his objections.


Teacup tea parties are a natural because you just can't have a tea party without a proper teacup and saucer. There's just something about sipping tea from a beautiful china teacup and the sound of the cup gently settling on the saucer that adds to teatime charm.
Here are some ideas for spotlighting the teacup.
Have your guests bring their own teacup and saucer. It could be a teacup that has a special meaning, a holiday theme or a certain color (established by the host). Make sure to have spares for those who forget theirs or don't have anything at home besides a mug.
If the cup has a special meaning or story behind it, the guest could share the story.
Have your guests bring a teacup to trade, either from their own collection or a purchased one. Place a number on the bottom of the cup and pull numbers to see who gets which teacup and saucer as the new owner. If you want to set a range of value, state that in your invitation.
If you don't want a permanent trade, you could just use someone else's for that teatime. Just don't bring one that you would hate to see broken by someone else- just in case.
Have your guests bring a teapot or tea cup and saucer, either from their own collection or a purchased one that will be auctioned off at the tea party. Give each guest a certain amount of "chips" to use for their bargaining power. You can use poker chips, hard candy, pennies, etcetera.
*Bingo – with the winner choosing 1 st, then if they win again, they choose a tea cup to give to someone who does not have one yet. Do this until all gifts are gone.
*Pollyanna - Choose numbers (if there are 6 of you, then make 6 numbers) and each one chooses a number. Number one picks first, number two is second, and so on.

What is the influence of Sigmund Freud in the surrealistic methods of presenting an art subject?
How did Sigmund Freud impact society?
How did Freud transform society?
What are Freud's main theories?
What was Freud's greatest contribution to psychology?
Freud believed that art was to close to reality, making it an ineffective devise to satisfy the id. As an ineffective escape, the longings build up within artist leading to neurosis. An artist neurosis can be seen in their artwork, because it lies heavy on their minds.
While the Surrealist movement is without question the artistic movement most closely associated with Freud's theories, Abstract Expressionism is another movement that was ultimately influenced by the study of psychoanalysis.
Sigmund Freud (1856 to 1939) was the founding father of psychoanalysis, a method for treating mental illness and also a theory which explains human behavior. Freud believed that events in our childhood have a great influence on our adult lives, shaping our personality.
Any artistic creation is a compromise between the unconscious and conscious intent of its author. According to Freud, the artist can choose and make changes in the unconscious material.
Influenced by Sigmund Freud's theory of the unconscious, the manifesto defined Surrealism as "psychic automatism", a process that encouraged a freeing of the mind from rational and utilitarian values and constraints as well as moral and aesthetic judgement.
C\'EST IMPORTANT: Tu as demandé: Quelles sont les méthodes couramment utilisées pour faire de la recherche en psychologie cognitive?
Freud's most obvious impact was to change the way society thought about and dealt with mental illness. Before psychoanalysis, which Freud invented, mental illness was almost universally considered 'organic'; that is, it was thought to come from some kind of deterioration or disease of the brain.
Sigmund Freud looked beyond the effects of behavior and explored the unconscious. He significantly changed the way the world viewed behavior by explaining certain levels of consciousness, the components of the unconscious mind, and different developmental phases.
Sigmund Freud: Freud developed the psychoanalytic theory of personality development, which argued that personality is formed through conflicts among three fundamental structures of the human mind: the id, ego, and superego.
One of Freud's most important contributions to the field of psychology was the development of the theory and practice of psychoanalysis. Some of the major tenets of psychoanalysis include the significance of the unconscious, early sexual development, repression, dreams, death and life drives, and transference.
