The Troubadour in Waterloo Street, Clifton, has been described as the most famous and influential folk club outside London. Running from Friday 6 October 1966 until closure in 1971, it hosted performances by John Martyn, Sandy Denny, the Incredible String Band, Bert Jansch, Al Stewart, the Watersons and pretty much everyone who was anyone in what turned out to be the golden age of British acoustic music.
The Troubadour exhibition is currently on show in the Doric Room (Crypt bar) at St George's Bristol until 28 October. Here's a sneak preview of some of the fascinating photographs on show.

Sen. Flake's GOP challenger: McCain should resign
By Jordain Carney - 07/21/17 01:38 PM EDT
Kelli Ward, who is running for Senate in 2018, is urging GOP Sen. John McCain John Sidney McCainThe best way to handle veterans, active-duty military that participated in Capitol riot Cindy McCain on possible GOP censure: 'I think I'm going to make T-shirts' Arizona state GOP moves to censure Cindy McCain, Jeff Flake MORE (R-Ariz.) to resign after being diagnosed with brain cancer and pitching herself as a replacement.
"I hope that Sen. McCain is going to look long and hard at this, that his family and his advisers are going to look at this, and they're going to advise him to step away as quickly as possible," Ward told an Indiana radio station this week.
Ward, who has also offered condolences to McCain, added that "as a Christian, I know there can always be miracles. But the likelihood that John McCain is going to come back to the Senate ... is low."
Ward, who has aligned herself closely with President Trump, lost in the 2016 Senate GOP primary to McCain and is now running against GOP Sen. Jeff Flake Jeffrey (Jeff) Lane FlakeCindy McCain on possible GOP censure: 'I think I'm going to make T-shirts' Arizona state GOP moves to censure Cindy McCain, Jeff Flake Arizona county's Republican committee debates censuring Cindy McCain MORE (Ariz.) in 2018.
She said McCain's diagnosis could bring the GOP agenda to a halt, adding that with the 80-year-old senator "out of commission, we don't have 51 votes on the the Republican side."
"We can't have until the 2018 election, waiting around to accomplish the Trump agenda, to secure the border and stop illegal immigration and repeal ObamaCare and fix the economy and fix the Veterans Administration," she said.
Republicans have 52 seats. With McCain's absence, that narrows their majority to 51 GOP senators.
Though Republicans are trying to pass an ObamaCare repeal bill and tax reform with only a simple majority, any other priorities, including immigration or veterans legislation, would require 60 votes and the support of Democrats.
If McCain were to resign — something he has shown no sign of doing — Arizona's governor would need to appoint a replacement until a 2018 special election.
Ward is pitching herself as a potential successor, noting she's already run against McCain and worked in the state legislature.
"Well, you know, I certainly hope so because I have a proven track record in the Arizona state Senate of being extremely effective and of listening to the voice of the people that I represent," she said when asked if her name would be included in any discussions on replacing McCain.
Ward's comments, which were first reported by CNN, come after she previously tried to make McCain's age a factor during their primary fight, saying he's "gotten weak" and calling him a "dinosaur."
McCain was absent from Washington this week, recovering from having a blood clot removed from above his left eye. His office announced on Wednesday night that the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix had found a brain tumor.
But the GOP senator has shown no signs of stepping down, continuing to weigh into policy fights and pledging to return soon.
"Unfortunately for my sparring partners in Congress, I'll be back soon, so stand-by," he tweeted on Thursday.

Football, Soccer
Here's Two Football!
Two opening days in the span of 24 hours, on two different continents. Two interpretations of the word football. Two sure signs that ,despite the heat wave apocolypse that has befallen this mortal soil, cooler days may yet return and, short of that, excitement and drama are indeed on the way.
Last night, the NFL began its 103rd season at its Canton, Ohio birthplace–yes, the same stadium where the USFL season ended a month earlier, and the same stadium where new Raiders coach Josh McDaniels played his high school games. In a game largely populated by taxi squad candidates, other than starting running back Josh Jacobs, THE RAY-DAHS cruised past the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-11.
The feel-good weekend continues with the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies on Saturday, returning to an afernoon schedule for the first time in a while. Original Jaguar Tony Boselli will be among this year's class, as will classy Raiders wide receiver Cliff Branch, he unfortunately posthumously. For franchises devoid of significant recent success this is at least one chance to shine in the national limelight.
Meanwhile, in merry ole England the Premier League regular season kicks off today (well, tonight in London), the earliest-ever kickoff to a season in history. Arsenal, looking for a rebound to a disappointing 2021-22 season, will host Crystal Palace in the beginning of a marathon that will continue until mid-June. The big reason for this is the relocation of the World Cup, to be held in Qatar, from summer to fall. And lucky that was pre-determined; the average daytime temperature last month in the UAE was 105 degrees fahrenheit. In November/December, it will be around 80. The Premier League will be off from November 13 through Boxing Day, December 26.
While the Premier League competes on another continent, its importance and popularity in the NBCU portfolio ensures every match will be available on TV here, mostly on weekend mornings and Friday and Monday afternoons. With college and pro football still reluctant to push its kickoffs before noon ET, this has set up the "real" football to own the breakfast and brunch landscape–and the perfect alternative to news/talk.
For that reason alone, may this marathon never end.


The 1879 group was formed at the Museum of the South Wales Borderers in Brecon (now the Museum of the Royal Regiment of Wales) in 1998 by a small but dedicated group of people who had a consuming interest in the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. Many, it must be said, were also inspired by Stanley Baker's film Zulu made in 1963.
One of the aims of the Group is to locate, renovate and re-dedicate the graves of those men who made it back to Britain but whose monuments have fallen into a state of disrepair or even disappeared over time. Some members carry out research into Anglo Zulu history and genealogy and keep alive the memory of soldiers of both sides of the Anglo Zulu War. We also help through involvement with local projects in KwaZulu-Natal.
Rorke's Drift on the 22nd/23rd January 1879. The Company is currently 30 strong and also includes representatives of the Royal Engineers, Royal Artillery, the Army Medical department and, of course, the company cook! The Group makes trips to South Africa to visit the battlefields and during the 125th anniversary commemorations at Islandlwana, members portrayed Pope's company of the 24th along with the Dundee Diehards and faced several hundred Zulu warriors. All who took part said how terrifying it was to stand in front of such a fearless charge.
In July 2003, the Group was presented with replica Colours of the 2nd Battalion 24th Regiment of Foot. The original Queen's and Regimental Colours were lost at Isandlwana and were never found (incidentally, those of the 1st Battalion are laid up in Brecon Cathedral). The 2nd 24th replicas were the result of research by two members of the group, Roger Manning and Duncan McDonald, who worked closely with both the Regiment and also the College of Heralds. Funded by group members, the Colours were produced in Pakistan by military embroiderers. They were formally presented to the group by Mrs Shan Legg-Bourke, then Lord Lieutenant of Powys, Mrs Penelope Bourdillon, then High Sheriff of Powys, Brigadier Robert Aitkin (160 Brigade), and the Group's Honorary Colonel, Timothy Van Rees. It is a tremendous and unique honour for the group to hold these Colours.

Norman A. Mordue (June 26, 1942 – December 29, 2022) was an American jurist who was a senior United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York.

Early life and education
Mordue grew up as one of five children in Elmira, New York and attended Manlius Military Academy. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from Syracuse University in 1966 and with a Juris Doctor from the Syracuse University College of Law in 1971.

Mordue played halfback for the Syracuse Orange football under coach Ben Schwartzwalder, playing alongside future NFL players Floyd Little and Jim Nance.  He was a member of the 1965 Sugar Bowl team.

Career
From 1972 to 1982, he worked for the district attorney in Onondaga County, New York, the last six years as chief prosecutor.

He was a county court judge from 1982 to 1988, and a State Supreme Court Justice in Onondaga County from 1986 to 1998.

Military service
Mordue earned the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star, and the Distinguished Service Cross while serving as a captain in the U.S. Army in the Vietnam War from 1966 to 1968.

Federal judicial service
Upon the recommendation of Senator Alfonse D'Amato, President Bill Clinton nominated Mordue to replace Rosemary S. Pooler on the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York in July 1998. Mordue was confirmed unanimously by the Senate on October 21, 1998, received his commission on October 22, 1998, and took office on December 4, 1998. He took senior status on June 30, 2013. He was Chief Judge of the court from 2006 to 2011.

Notable cases
As a prosecutor in the Onondaga County District Attorney's Office, Mordue successfully prosecuted Robert Garrow, a notorious serial killer convicted of murdering three campers in the Adirondacks and a teenage girl in Syracuse in 1973.

Mordue three times ruled in favor of the school district's censorship of religious content in an assignment in Peck v. Baldwinsville School District. He also ruled in favor of a school district censoring a student newspaper's cartoon of stick figures in sexual positions in R.O. v. Ithaca.

Death
Mordue died on December 29, 2022, at the age of 80.

I am a member of the Qt documentation team, and I am often included as a reviewer for code changes that also include changes to qdoc comments. I always assume I am meant to review only the documentation, so if the documentation is ok, I give the change a +1 and add a comment that I only reviewed the documentation.
Is this the right way to do it? Maybe it should be formalized in the system.
On the [Interest] mailing list there was a discussion about the review-process taking to long and we also had multiple discussions about that at the world summit. I have complained about this myself, so I would like to start a new thread and collect your thoughts and ideas on how to improve the situation.
*   when you only increased a timeout in an autotest. Increasing timeouts is a safe change - it can only solve false negatives and false positives, but not create false positives or false negatives.
*   or more general: when you only made an autotest harder to pass - like adding a Q_VERIFY, Q_COMPARE, etc.
2.  Towards that last point: I think many of us are afraid to get blamed for +2'ing something that causes problems later (introduces a new bug or so), but as far as I have seen, nobody gets blamed for such problems, so we should not be THAT afraid of approving something. Also, don't forget that there is still the CI to get past!
3.  Remember that brain-cycles are far more expensive than CPU cycles - so when in doubt, rather test-run something on the CI than make a human think about whether the CI "would" accept it. If that causes CI outages, we need to buy more CI machines. It is just a naive fallacy to "save" CI expenses by assigning the CI's work to employees who are much more expensive.
4.  I don't think we need to be as paranoid towards contributions from our own employees as we need to be towards external contributions.
5.  Set a deadline for criticism on the general approach to a change. Too often I have had the situation that I uploaded a patch, then we debated the qdoc entries, variable names, method names, etc FOR MONTHS - and when I thought we were finally wrapping up and I could soon submit it, someone else chimes in and says "this should be done completely differently". Even if the person is right - they should have said that months earlier - before I wasted all that valuable time on variable names, compliance with qdoc guidelines, etc.
In earlier discussions I have been told that such a deadline would have to be long, because someone who might have an opinion might be on vacation. IMHO, this doesn't count, because a) you can still make an exception to the rule in such a situation and b) by that logic you should never approve anything, because we also might hire a new employee in 10 years who might have an opinion.


Consumer loyalty is arguably one of the most important assets a brand can have. In today's marketplace there is an abundance of options for shoppers when making purchasing decisions. Whether in store, or online there is no shortage of alternatives for not only products, and services; but also consumption channels. Creating a loyal consumer base or "Cult Consumers" is what separates successful brands from mediocre ones.
Creating repeat customers can be a struggle for many brands, but with the right strategy and a little incentive for consumers, brands can enter into a mutually beneficial, long term relationship with their purchasers. Loyalty programs and shopper incentives are one of the most tried-and-true methods of engaging with a brand's audience, while also creating a base of loyal customers.

If your business operates worldwide, and you collaborate with a Corporate Trade company with similar reach, then you're on your way to generating extra value for your media spend or other business expenses.
ready to go, and now it's time to spend them.
There are a number of factors which can help or impede the successful launch of a new Corporate Trade solution in your business. Many businesses and agencies alike can be intimidated by the process involved of adding "another cook in the kitchen" for media buying.

This is light and dark, the fanlisting for Star Wars: The Force.
For me the force is the definition of Star Wars itself. Everything happens because of and with the force. I chosed the name light and dark because of the light and dark side of the force - the fight between those sites it what the Star Wars movies are about. I tried to show light and dark as well in the layout - the contrasts between the background colors, the dark letters in the header...and I used the conflict between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin in the end fight in Episode 3...the fight between light and dark...not only between Obi-Wan and Anakin, but as well IN Anakin.
This fanlisting has a total count of 209 members + 0 pending. It was last updated April 15, 2019. The fanlisting was opened November 3, 2004 and is approved by thefanlistings.org. This fanlisting was made by Martina and is part of Inspirationally.
So this is a place where all the people who really like Star Wars: The Force can submit their information to build the biggest listing.
I am not affiliated with Star Wars: The Force or anything related in any way nor have I contact to them. This is a non profit site made by a fan for fans. All pictures, names, trademarks, etc. are copyright their original users and used under fair use - the layout copyright by me.

5 Prominent Industrial Hemp Market Players Leveraging Rising CBD Prominence
Published Date: June 24, 2022
The progress of the industrial hemp market is mainly fueled by the increasing legalization of hemp-based products in numerous regions across the globe. The recent surge in awareness pertaining to the benefits associated with cannabidiol (CBD)-based products, along with the mounting availability of hemp-derived consumer products, has driven consumer interest substantially. Furthermore, prevalent product adoption across varied industry verticals has created massive growth opportunities for further product penetration.
Rising awareness regarding the potential uses of hemp in diverse sectors has been pivotal for industry growth in recent years. It can be used to make paper, cotton, construction materials, and animal bedding, and is a sought-after food commodity because it is rich in both fiber and protein. It is known to enhance soil health by shading out weeds when used as a cover crop, and eliminates the need for synthetic herbicides, improving soil health.
With the rampant legalization of hemp production, the product is witnessing high demand in many regions. For instance, escalating demand in Europe is being seen as a major push for the development of the hemp building sector. Moreover, its health benefits are being documented increasingly in tandem with prominent research activities in the industry.
Notably, the potential uses, as well as the economic viability of industrial hemp, are playing a key role in business expansion. According to a recent report by Global Market Insights Inc., the industrial hemp market size is projected to surpass $310 million in revenue by the end of 2027.
Here's how some leading companies in the industry are working on enhancing their business presence in the market:
Marijuana Company of America Inc
An innovative hemp expert, Marijuana Company of America (MCOA) invests in, operates, and acquires companies exclusively in the cannabis industry. The firm also partakes in an affiliate marketing program to sell and promote its legal hemp-derived consumer products that consist of CBD. It leases property to companies that produce and sell cannabis in regions where it has been legalized and is properly regulated for recreational and medicinal use.
Additionally, it focuses on the expansion of its presence into ancillary areas of legalized hemp and cannabis industries. Above all, MCOA participates extensively in research & development of legal hemp-derived consumer products under its hempSMART brand. The hempSMART brand targets general health and well-being and has become one of the company's main focuses.
In September 2020, MCOA dissolved itself from a joint venture with Global Hemp Group, a Canada-based industrial hemp company, to fully shift its attention on the hempSMART CBD Consumer Products division, with the objective of maximizing the company's growth with product innovation and development.
2 . HempFlax
One of Europe's largest hemp growers and processors, HempFlax provides sustainably produced modern, affordable, and natural hemp products. As part of its expansion plans, in October 2021, Hempflax announced that it was investing approximately USD 3.2 million (€3.0 million) into its headquarters situated in Oude Pekela, the Netherlands. Out of this amount, it allocated around USD 1.92 million (€1.8 million) towards machinery enhancements that could potentially double the factory's hemp fiber processing capacity from three to six tons per hour as well as modernize the bagging lines that package the firm's animal bedding products.
These improvements were also intended to allow the factory to bring down its operating time from 24 hours to 16 hours/day, which would lower the factory's energy requirements while increasing output. The remaining USD 1.28 million (€1.2 million) was directed towards the installment of solar panels at the Dutch factory, helping the company to be self-sufficient in power generation. HempFlax also planned on introducing hydrogen-based vehicles to its fleet of trucks with the purpose of reducing its CO2 emissions even further.
3 . HempMeds Brasil
A subsidiary of cannabis firm Medical Marijuana, Inc., HempMeds Brasil was the first company to receive a green light from the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency (Anvisa), a regulatory body of the Brazilian government, for supplying CBD-based products.
The company was a trailblazer in bringing CBD oil products to the U.S. and Latin American countries, including Mexico, Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil, among others. It distributes products under its brands such as Real Scientific Hemp Oil. The Forbes-featured company is currently authorized to supply products that help in the treatment of illnesses like Parkinson's, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and chronic pain, under medical prescription.
4 . Bombay Hemp Company
Backed by highly reputed Indian industrialist Ratan Tata, Bombay Hemp Company is one of the frontrunners in the industrial hemp industry. The company recently initiated its global strategy through a partnership with a Canada-based company in December 2021. Also known as BOHECO, the firm announced that it had inked a collaboration and investment agreement with Zenabis, a Canadian medical and recreational marijuana producer.
One of the leading hemp companies in India, BOHECO had earlier set out to find a Canadian partner that had pre-existing ties with emerging markets in Europe, would make a financial investment in the organization, would share its expertise in plant cultivation and product development, and understood the value of combining modern hemp science and conventional Ayurvedic practices to establish holistic product lines. Canada, unlike other leading regions like the US industrial hemp market, has a federally regulated and legalized hemp industry, offering robust growth opportunities for BOHECO.
5 . Hempco Food and Fibre
A specialist in hemp seed processing, Hempco manufactures and distributes various hemp food products, hemp nutraceuticals, and hemp fiber. The company also offers hemp seed oil, hulled hemp seed, and hemp protein powder. The company's operations span the geographies of Europe, Asia, and North America. In August 2019, Aurora Cannabis, a global leader in the cannabis space serving the consumer and medical industries, completed the acquisition of Hempco.
Aurora caught on to the potential of hemp-based CBD early and completed its first investment in Hempco back in 2017. The takeover, which made Hempco a wholly owned subsidiary of Aurora, gave Aurora the ability to leverage Hempco's low-cost, high volume raw hemp material primarily in the extraction of CBD and other cannabinoids, which are gaining recognition for their potential health benefits.
Booming awareness opens newer avenues
While growing awareness regarding hemp and its associated products is a substantial factor shaping the global sector, the increasing number of companies and the subsequent expansion of the application scope of this product can be seen as a critical factor fueling industrial hemp industry size.
Moreover, the industrial hemp market forecast is also impacted by the product launches and alliances these companies are implementing. In the coming years, increasing focus of companies on entering underpenetrated markets and surging need for well-drafted legislation governing the hemp industry are estimated to be key for the business growth.

I'm back down in my home-away-from-home, Alabama, for a few weeks. The town I'm staying in is pretty small and there isn't much to do except hike. Its getting a little too cold now for hiking (in my opinion) but on a few of the warmer days my boyfriend, who is an expert in survival techniques (check out his new blog, Survive-Prepare), taught me a few outdoorsy tricks. I've done some of the more basic shelter-building, rope-making, and fire-starting type stuff in the girl scouts, but it is always fun to learn something new.
I'm a huge fan of loose-leaf tea; I drink about 2 cups each day. I've known for a while that you can make tea from ingredients you find growing wild in nature, but I've never actually seen it done or learned how to do it. So today was the day! We searched for a pine tree in the forest and used a knife to cut off a small branch to bring back to the kitchen. The branches were very prickly so I could only gather a tiny bit of pine needles.
We boiled some water with the pine needles in them- it made some foggy looking green liquid. I made my boyfriend try it first. He claimed to like it, so I tried it but I think Ill stick to fruit and nut teas. I don't recommend wild pine unless you are really desperate for tea.
I also learned that you can cut into moss to form a hollowed out space to keep food refrigerated. The moss keeps the dirt held pretty firmly in place and it is easy to carve out a cavity beneath it, stick some food in there, place the moss back on top, and nobody is the wiser.
The third thing I learned isn't really a survival technique- actually its pretty much the opposite: using river rocks as spa hot rocks. It was pretty easy to make our way through the woods down to the creek which had recently flooded with rain, but a little more difficult to find a spot that wasn't so flooded that it would be hard to gather rocks from the bottom. But we collected a bunch, took them back, cleaned them off, heated them in a pot on the stove, and voila!
A few days later we went for a hike in a really nice spot nearby. We came to a bridge over a mostly dried-out creek with some water still trickling through and I wanted to go off trail and hike down that instead. I love climbing over rocks! We went down quite a long way till we came to a drop in the rock face and sat down to look at the landscape for a while. By the time we started hiking back, it looked like it was near sunset and we decided to take the trail back.
We made a wrong turn (apparently I mistook a creek bed for a trail) but decided to continue in that direction. It soon became apparent that we were in a race against the sun, as it was getting darker and darker as we pushed through some very dense thickets to try to get back to the car. The trees and bushes and vines were so thick in some places that we had to go back to find a different way to go forward.
Eventually we heard cars on the road and followed the sounds until we made it back to a main trail that led right out of the woods and to the car.
It was only when we got home that I realized Id lost my favorite scarf that my boyfriend had given me. So we went back the next day to search for it.
We tried to backtrack the same ridiculously winding path wed created the night before, but it was next to impossible. We probably were off of the path about 50% of the time. My boyfriend climbed a tree to see if he could recognize where wed been the night before, and then of course I had to climb the tree because climbing trees is awesomely fun. Its always been one of my favorite activities, as long as there are no bugs around.

New York City Police Commissioner Bratton to retire
August 2, 2016 | By Reuters
New York Police Commissioner Bratton, New York Police Chief O'Neill and New York Mayor de Blasio are pictured during a press conference at City Hall in the Manhattan borough, New York
By Joseph Ax
NEW YORK (Reuters) – New York City Police Commissioner William Bratton said on Tuesday he will retire in September, ending a four-decade career that earned him credit for pushing crime rates to historic lows but also criticism for his "zero tolerance" approach to policing.
Bratton, 68, will head a newly created risk division at the consulting firm Teneo, where he will advise chief executives on cyber crime and terrorism, he said during an interview on CNBC.
At a City Hall news conference, Mayor Bill de Blasio praised the man he tapped to head the nation's largest municipal police force in 2014, saying Bratton reduced violent crime while bolstering the department's extensive counterterrorism operation.
"I wish I had words for what this man has achieved," de Blasio, a Democrat, said at the City Hall news conference.
Chief James O'Neill, 58, the department's top uniformed officer with more than 30 years on the force, will succeed Bratton as commissioner. O'Neill, a Brooklyn native, designed the department's neighborhood policing program, aimed at improving relations between officers and the communities they patrol.
Widely seen as the face of U.S. policing, Bratton is a strong supporter of the "broken windows" theory, which holds that ignoring minor infractions such as vandalism and public drinking can lead to more serious crimes.
During his first stint as New York's police commissioner from 1994 to 1996 under tough-on-crime Republican Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Bratton put the theory into action by cracking down on petty crimes at a time when the city was a far more dangerous place.
He also introduced the CompStat system of real-time crime tracking, which has since been adopted by other police departments around the world.
Bratton resigned in 1996 after his relationship with Giuliani grew strained over who deserved more credit for the drop in crime.
Supporters said Bratton's approach made New York the safest big city in the United States. But his detractors have attacked the "broken windows" strategy as discriminatory and heavy-handed.
Some critics said the aggressive philosophy eventually gave rise to the "stop-and-frisk" tactic used extensively under Raymond Kelly, who served as commissioner under de Blasio's predecessor, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, from 2002 to 2014.
Despite falling crime rates, the tactic was reviled by civil rights leaders, who said it had a disproportionate impact on minority residents. De Blasio campaigned in 2013 on ending the practice.
A federal judge ruled that the tactic was an unconstitutional form of racial profiling in 2013, just months before de Blasio and Bratton took office.
After his appointment, Bratton faced the same issues of race and mistrust that have plagued police departments across the country following a series of police killings of unarmed black men.
In July 2014, Eric Garner died when an arresting officer put him in a chokehold despite department rules forbidding such a move, prompting widespread protests.
Five months later, two police officers were shot to death in their patrol car in Brooklyn by a suspect who said on social media that he was avenging Garner and Michael Brown, a black man killed by police in Ferguson, Missouri.
Bratton also had to contend with antipathy toward de Blasio from rank-and-file officers angered by the mayor's comments about police brutality.
"This is a challenging time for police in America and in New York," Bratton said on Tuesday.
Under Bratton, the department has devoted increased resources to counterterrorism, including the creation last year of a specialized 500-officer squad intended to respond within minutes to any attack on the city.
In recent months, Bratton has disciplined several high-ranking officers as part of a federal corruption investigation that also has examined de Blasio's fundraising practices.
Both the mayor and Bratton said the investigation had nothing to do with the commissioner's decision to retire.
"There's never a good time, but there's a right time," said Bratton, who started his career as an officer in 1970 in his hometown of Boston, and still speaks with the accent of a Bostonian.
Bratton also oversaw the Boston and Los Angeles police departments and was briefly considered by then-British Prime Minister David Cameron for the London police chief job in 2011.
He had previously said he would retire from New York no later than next year.

Plans for two new Thames ports have moved ahead
Port of Tilbury's plans for a new port terminal at Thurrock have now been submitted to planners.
The Port of Tilbury, has submitted an application for a development consent order for the 152-acre site which was part of the former Tilbury Power Station.
The application comes as iSec prepare for a January 2018 planning application for the 4m sq ft Thames Enterprise Park on the site of the former Coryton oil terminal.
Development director Mike Forster says they hope for outline planning consent by summer 2018. "We are already in discussions with food distributors for the site," he said.
Tilbury2 is central to the Port of Tilbury's £1bn investment programme, 2012-20. This investment also includes the UK's largest warehouse at the port's second extension site — the 70-acre London Distribution Park — for Amazon UK, which began operating this autumn.
Tilbury has doubled the size of its business in the past ten years and is projected to double the volume across the quay (from 16million to 32million tonnes) and triple the direct employment (from 3,500 to 12,000 jobs) over the next 10-15 years.
The new terminal is expected to be operational by spring 2020 and will act as a satellite of the main port of Tilbury. It includes a roll on/roll off ferry terminal.
Forth Ports Ltd owns and operates Tilbury, alongside seven other commercial ports on the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Tay: Grangemouth, Dundee, Leith, Rosyth, Methil, Burntisland and Kirkcaldy.

Q: Regex to match a specific group of digits of certain length? I found this: Regex to match digits of specific length but it talks about Python. I am wanting to be able to get a group of random numbers of specific length. So if I have 167691#15316243 it will match 15316243. I am not sure how to implement this. right now I have new RegExp('[0-9]+', "g"); which matches a group of numbers fine, but now I realized I will have some times when I have more than one group and I only want the group of eight numbers.

A: Simply put the repetition amount in curly braces:
"167691#15316243".match(/\d{8}/g);

Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/3r5vd/

I'd suggest you read this article (scroll down to the section on Limiting Repetition).
Here's a quote:

Modern regex flavors [...] have an additional repetition operator that allows you to specify how many times a token can be repeated. The syntax is {min,max}, where min is a positive integer number indicating the minimum number of matches, and max is an integer equal to or greater than min indicating the maximum number of matches. If the comma is present but max is omitted, the maximum number of matches is infinite. So {0,} is the same as *, and {1,} is the same as +.
  Omitting both the comma and max tells the engine to repeat the token exactly min times.

A: [0-9]+ - Matches one or more numbers
[0-9]{8} - Matches exactly 8 numbers.
[0-9]{8,10} - Matches between 8 and 10 numbers.
[0-9]{8,} - Matches 8 or more numbers.
[0-9]* - Matches zero or more numbers.
[0-9]? - Matches zero or one number.

A: You can specify the length of a matching set using {}.
For example: [0-9]{8}
Which will match any numbers from 0 to 9 with a specific length of 8 characters.
You can also specify a min/max range instead of forcing a specific legnth. So if you wanted a min of 4 and a max of 8 the example would change to: [0-9]{4,8}

In the Summer of 2014 Cromwell Valley Park mowed a large section of meadow in the Willow Grove area of the park, a place which had once been farmland.
This field in Summer is a dense and colorful spread of waist-high wildflowers, blackberry canes, roses, and infantile shrubs, all buzzing with a mass of insects in the intense noon-high sun. The scene is typical of any once-human-managed land moving unaided back towards an eventual forest, a process which ecology names succession. Milkweed nuzzles up against dogbane and wingstem, wild garlic slips up through the multiflora rose, and an uncommonly dense and robust patch of stinging nettle enjoys the heat like nowhere else I've known. Soft lespedeza stuffs in every space between. I love this meadow in the Summertime. It's alike to many of the rural fields and abandoned lands I roamed and adventured in as a child, licking my lips of soft, sun-hot blackberries, picking blueberries and flower bouquets, and treading on into the great unknown under each rock, and up into every tree.
None of the plants in the Cromwell Valley field were planted there. No one had to make a decision about which plant would do what, how each would be best suited to meet and enhance the particuliarities of the soil and the health of the other plants around it. No one ever has to do this. Life flourishes, everywhere, when we tire of the hoe or the tractor.
As ecologists, naturalists, and gardeners we take a stab at making sense of things. We may come to the conclusion that the lespedeza, as a member of the pea family, is making a greater amount of nitrogen bio-available to its neighboring plants, thus enhancing growth all around. We may surmise that the wild garlic is deterring certain insects which might otherwise over-consume its neighboring plants, and that it was the growth and death of earlier, herbaceous successional species, like dandelion, plantain, and clover, which provided the soil depth and nutrition which made it possible for all of these woody perennial species to now thrive. These ideas may be correct. In our seeking to understand nature sometimes our theories are good, sometimes they're not so good, but always they are only the tip of an iceberg, or rather, as goes the popular Indian parable, the tail of the elephant.
Every modern field lot and thicket is a mash-up of plants from various continents. Some plants, like the milkweed, were already growing here when the first European colonists arrived. Some plants, like the lespedeza and blackberry, began to grow here some time afterwards. Ecologists tend to put these in various categories. The arrival of some plants we trace from Asia, others from Europe, some from Africa, and from nearly every place else, much like this continent's human population.
In ecological terms, most plants growing in human disturbed areas are called pioneer species. They break ground (literally speaking) where other plants can not, and often thrive with little soil nutrition, water, or praise. Without continued disturbance these plants won't grow in the same space forever. One species continually makes passage for the next, as dandelions give way to yarrow give way to shrubby cedar trees give way to sassafras. The living and dying of each species of plant while it's there contributes to the richness and diversity of fungal, microbial, mineral, insect, and animal life in that place. In this way, theoretically, relatively dead hard-pan soil stripped by run-off can over great time become the deep, rich, spongy hummus of a moist and mature forest.
Most pioneer species that grow in the wake of human disturbance happen to be from other continents. Canadian thistle is one of them. Cirsium arvense, among its many other common names, sometimes bears the title creeping thistle, California thistle, field thistle, corn thistle, cursed thistle, and even lettuce from hell thistle, which may give you an idea of some folks' opinions about this plant.
Canadian thistle probably gained a bad reputation because #1, it's prickly. We generally disfavor plants that are prickly, and unlike many other species of thistle which grow as solitary individuals we can walk around, Cirsium arvense grows in large, thick patches. That's #2. I guess I should also say that there is a popular idea floating around that like kudzu, Canadian thistle takes over vast areas smothering any other plant in its wake. I've never exactly seen that. It does form large, dense patches, often on an edge and mixed with a few other species, and that's because, like stinging nettle, it's rhizomatous, meaning it spreads by an underground network of horizontally growing modified stems.
There's something else about Cirsium arvense. Its root system can grow downwards to 10 feet, some studies claim. And this is in poor soil mind you. From an ecological and restoration point of view, that's a profound amount of organic material to both enrich and aerate the soil upon root die-off, and at an incredible depth. Such growth behavior suggests its potential role as a dynamic accumulator, a popular term used to describe deep-rooted pioneer species which mine mineral nutrients from deep soil depths and make them available to the surface layer of soil via the decomposition of its leaf litter. At least, that's an idea anyway, and maybe the elephant's toe.
Now back to Cromwell Valley. As you've probably guessed, Canadian thistle was present, thriving in the mesh of flowers, stalks, thorns, and grasshoppers on the sunny meadow slope, and the park evidently considered it a problem. In an effort to eradicate or slow the growth of Canadian thistle, Cromwell Valley Park chose to mow the field, which is, to cut back the above-ground growth of all plants present to but a few inches. Now, as I've before mentioned, Cirsium arvense spreads predominantly by rhizomatous network, from which emerge new shoots and in which the plants store energy in the form of sugars. Mowing a plant with a rhizomatous growth habit will do little to halt or weaken the overall growth of that plant. It will, however, prevent the forming or spreading of seeds if the mowing is done before the plant has matured them. Even this attack on the plant, however, in a meadow setting, will, once the cards are played, likely be of more benefit to the thistle than to the plants around it, who have also been cut by the management effort. Whereas thistles' rhizomes can quickly produce more above-ground growth, any annuals in the field, or perennials with a slower recovery response will lag in their growth, and the thistle may thus gain some ground. All in all, however, plant relationships in the field will likely remain much the same, and many insect and animal habitats will be destroyed at no advantage to anyone.
When I visited the Cromwell Valley meadow after the mowing effort, I could have laughed, or cried. White, fluffy Canadian thistle seed heads littered and danced across the entire expanse of cut debris, like the innards of an old teddy bear. The purple flowers of Canadian thistle, like dandelions, will often finish forming seeds and turn to a white fluff ball even after you've picked them. Anyone who's tried to dry dandelion flowers has learned this joke of nature well. Cut while in full bloom, the thousands of thistle flowers at Cromwell Valley had fallen, dried in the sun, and produced seed by the millions.
As I walked through the meadow at Willow Grove this Winter, amid lumps of wet snow, I felt sad. It's a terrible feeling to me, the stiff stubble of woody plants under my feet, reminding me every time I trip of what was there. I thought of all the blackberry which would bear no fruit the coming Summer, for blackberries only flower on second-year canes. Those canes had just come into prominence that Summer of 2014. Now it would be 2016 before their first blooms. I felt the same about the wild raspberries, and about the flurries of white rose petals which would not be there in the Spring. I felt some bitterness at this quiet loss, one I have experienced again and again since my first walkings in life, each time I have arrived at one of so many kingdoms to find all features gone. Many of them, it could be, were kingdoms only to myself.
The meadow at Cromwell Valley will likely be much the same this Summer as it was before, roaring with growth and flowers up to my chest. Sans roses. Sans blackberry fruit. If you go say hello to the nettles, to the lespedeza pea flowers, to the crazy garlic heads, the stubby multiflora rose, the wineberry, blackberry, the mullein and wingstem, the dobane, milkweed, shiso, and Queen Anne's lace, and the asparagus, if you can find it.
And perhaps remember that while we feel but a tail and call it lacking, the whole of nature is shining like Ganesh, raining prosperity and life, unending.


There are many starlets nowadays gracing the covers of fashion and entertainment magazines, who are getting airplay that is disproportionate to the quality of music they offer.
I know, starlets are actresses, not singers, but what with all the acting they have to do in their video clips and during interviews (and, some might argue, in every aspect of their lives), I think I can pull off calling them starlets.
Semantics aside, it's quite refreshing when a starlet reveals herself to be worthy of the airplay time she gets. Christina Aguilera, with her amazing voice, is one of them. She broke out early on from the teen pop princess image she had been told to emulate to become the more mature artist she is today. Mandy Moore is another such starlet. While she, too, started as a teen pop princess, her great voice and her down to earth attitude helped her break way from it and turn towards singing what she wants, rather than what sells (speaking of which, this is quite unfortunate, as her latest album is amazing). And Katy Perry may be the latest; she might be the it, cool, rock girl of the day, but perhaps it doesn't only have to do with her label's drive to make more money, but rather by something else.
How so? Well, we have come to learn more about her ever since "I Kissed a Girl" came out, and as the stories leaked and interviews were given and performances televised and YouTubed around the world, it seemed that this young girl with the good voice is also the main creative drive behind her music. This would mean that – gasp – she actually is behind the songs on her CD. And now, courtesy of MTV Unplugged, we find out that yes, she is actually talented and doesn't need for her voice to be either digitally manipulated before being burned on a CD nor drowned by the music during a concert.
Isn't that refreshing (somewhat shockingly so)?
To some, MTV's Unplugged sessions seem like a cheap ploy to make easy money off already existing songs, but I have come to really appreciate them. And so I was looking forward to see how Katy Perry was going to perform her high energy tunes in such an intimate and simple environment. This type of setting seems a lot more appropriate for someone like Mandy Moore, whose cover of Rihanna's "Umbrella" sealed the deal for many (including myself). While some of Katy's slower tunes were obvious choices for this session of Unplugged, I couldn't imagine her doing "I kissed a Girl" or "Waking up in Vegas" in such a setting.
But Katy pulled it off quite well. While she isn't the best singer out there (sorry, but compared Joss Stone & Mandy Moore? I don't think so), she makes up for it in catchiness and just plain adorableness. She also interacts extremely well with the crowd. She starts off the session by walking in, grabbing her guitar and announcing in the microphone: "Well first, we're going to start with 'Kumbaya,' since we're all sitting on the floor", to the delight of her giggling audience.
It was also an interesting experience in that Katy seemed a little self-conscious; her body language seemed more withdrawn that usual, she would lift her eyes to meet those of someone in the public then would quickly avert her gaze, and even her jokes were delivered in a soft voice. This was a refreshing surprise, considering her rather flamboyant outfits and goofy pictures that made the rounds on the Internet. It seems that Katy, like many other artists (I'm thinking about Michael Jackson and Beyoncé right now), has an on stage and off stage persona that are radically different from one another.
Most of the songs (five) featured on MTV Unplugged by Katy Perry are taken off her album One of the Boys; another one is a cover of a Fountains of Wayne song, and the last one is a song Katy wrote herself and that can only be found on this CD. I have to be brutally honest: I really didn't really like the Unplugged version of "I kissed a Girl". At all. Katy tells us that she went a little cabaret & jazz on this piece, but she didn't manage to blend the song into those styles; rather, it feels like she tried unsuccessfully to mash jazz and cabaret with the original version of the song. I do need to point out that the experiment was great in itself, in that Katy tried something new. I greatly admire that.
However do not despair, for the rest of the songs are great. "Ur so Gay" was brilliantly performed, as were "Thinking of You" and "Lost". Katy presented her unplugged version of "Waking up in Vegas" as being pretty wild, but it definitely wasn't. While still maintaining its high tempo, this version of the song is a mellow, toned down version of the original, and a pleasure to listen to.
"Brick by Brick", the song featured exclusively on this CD, is a fantastic new song Katy Perry fans are going to love. It's a good thing, since this song will have to tide them over until she releases her new album (which, according to MTV news, is going to be a more mature affair reflecting Katy's current age rather than being a reflection of her earlier teen years). You can already see how Katy's new CD is going to go; the subject matter is more mature, the song, while catchy, is more reflective – and one can't help but wonder what Katy is going to bring us next.
Her cover of "Hackensack" by Fountains of Wayne (featured in the 2005 movie Just Friends) is amazing. The original is a sweet and catchy ballad and her cover is just as catchy and extremely well performed. She shares with us how she thinks this song is one of the most perfect pop songs out there, and her love for this song shines through every note sung. See what I meant earlier, that Katy Perry just might be in it for the love of music after all?
The MTV Unplugged session with Katy Perry was both filmed and recorded. I would recommend starting with the DVD, which I definitely preferred to the CD. In all honesty, I listen to the CD while thinking of the actual performance; there is something about Katy's stage presence that left a mark on me.
My one big problem with not only this particular session of MTV Unplugged but rather the entire concept is the way it's done. These sessions are meant for audiences to see who the artist really is, to get behind the sometimes larger than life persona we see in video clips, on stage, and on TV. For example, it's obvious in between songs that there is a lot more that happened during this unplugged session with Katy Perry, as songs are interspaced with fade outs and fade ins, with very different lightings and a guitar that appears and disappears.
Unless they are filmed at Hogwarts.
In any case, fans know what Katy Perry is like during interviews, as they have probably watched every single interview available online. So it was rather sad that this interview was yet another typical one, rather than it pushing the envelope like MTV used to be known for. Why put her on a chair and ask her to talk? What I'd like to have seen is for MTV to make Katy Perry enter into an unscripted dialog with the fans that are there, film the whole thing and put that on a DVD – then you will really have something unplugged. For how can you truly know an artist if we don't see such interactions? We humans are by definition social creatures, therefore a large part of our personality is reflected through our interactions with others.
So MTV, please consider this: set up the room, roll the cameras, cue the artist and then just let it go. Stop micromanaging, and let the real magic happen: let us really see the person behind the music rather than yet another filtered version that you label 'Unplugged'.

Vivek Oberoi Wiki
Vivekanand Oberoi (born 3 September 1976) is an Indian actor who predominantly appears in Hindi films. He made his film debut with Ram Gopal Varma's Company (2002), which won him two Filmfare Awards.
Vivek Oberoi was born in Hyderabad, Telangana, to a Punjabi father, Suresh Oberoi, a veteran Bollywood character actor, and Yashodhara Oberoi, who is from a Tamil family. Oberoi went on to study at Mayo College, Ajmer and Mithibai College, Mumbai. At an actors' workshop in London, he was spotted by the director of New York University who took Vivek to New York, where he completed his master's degree in film acting. Vivek also worked as a scriptwriter in India.
Oberoi made his debut with Ram Gopal Varma's film Company. He received Filmfare Awards for Best Debut as well as Best Supporting Actor. He then starred in the action films Road and Dum. In 2002, he starred in Saathiya, directed by Shaad Ali. The film was a success at the box office and earned him a Filmfare nomination in the Best Actor category. In 2004, he starred in the comedy Masti and Yuva, political thriller. In 2005, he played the title character in Kisna: The Warrior Poet. In 2006, he appeared in Omkara, an adaptation of Shakespeare's play Othello, playing the character of Kesu, based on the character Michael Cassio in the original play. After seeing Oberoi's performance, Gulzar congratulated him.In 2007, he played the gangster Maya Dolas in Shootout at Lokhandwala. In 2008, Oberoi starred in Mission Istanbul, directed by Apoorva Lakhia and produced by Ekta Kapoor. He performed to the song Apun Ke Saath, produced for the film by Vikas Kohli, at the 2008 International Indian Film Academy Awards.
In 2009, Oberoi played a supporting role in the movie Kurbaan. In 2010, he appeared in Prince, which failed to receive a good response from the audience, despite initial box office success. In the same year, he appeared in Ram Gopal Varma's Rakht Charitra playing the role of the Telugu politician Paritala Ravi. Vivek Oberoi's film Kismat Love Paisa Dilli, which was released in October 2012, failed to impress the audience and was a box office failure. Vivek produced a film named Dekh Indian Circus in 2011. The film was featured in the 16th Busan Film festival, winning the Audience Choice Award for Best Film from 3000 films worldwide and amongst 380 films screened. In 16 years of the history of Busan, this is the First Indian Film to win the award.

People who are older or disabled sometimes need care or support to live their lives. The help that people need can overshadow their skills, interests and talents and these can remain unseen and untapped. The money going into support is often misdirected and delivers poor outcomes. The waste of talent is a tragedy for the individual and impoverishes their communities.
Community Catalysts, supported by the Big Lottery, has developed a project to look at this issue. We want to better understand the conditions that enable people to believe in themselves and use their gifts. For example, to start an enterprise or group or lead change in their local community.
We want to use this learning to influence central and local government to create the conditions that will enable many more people to make a difference to their own lives and the lives of others. We want to create the conditions for people to 'do it for themselves' whilst also challenging the stereotypes and stigma that stand in the way of people living their good life.
Our project is in two parts with phase one, the design phase, running from November 2018 to August 2019 and phase two, the development phase emerging later if phase one is successful.
• Agree project aim, approach and outcomes for the second phase.

When we have a relationship with God, we surrender all things to Him and we trust Him with our lives in every area. We know that He guides us in everything and we accept His leadership. There's nothing better than having a true relationship with God where we talk with Him daily and not just during a crises. So rest in knowing that God's got you but make sure that you've got Him. Take care, stay encouraged and God bless you my encouragers.
