When I first moved to L.A., I discovered Roy London. I didn't know anything about the arts, the profession; I had no technique, I knew nothing, I'm fresh from Missouri. I sat in on a few classes, and they just felt a little guru-ish and just didn't feel right to me. Until I met Roy. Votes: 0

So I swear to God, I took one year where I just said, This year, I'm just going to cop to it and say to people, 'Okay, where did we meet?' But it just got worse. People were more offended.

But it's a mystery to me, man. I can't grasp a face and yet I come from such a design/aesthetic point of view. I am going to get it tested. Votes: 0

Having children takes the focus off yourself, which I'm really grateful for. I'm so tired of thinking about myself. I'm sick of myself. You feel you want to be there and not miss out on anything.

I have love in my life, a soul mate u2014u00a0absolutely. When someone asked me why Angie and I don't get married, I replied, 'Maybe we'll get married when it's legal for everyone else.'

Religion works. I know there's comfort there, a crash pad. It's something to explain the world and tell you there is something bigger than you, and it is going to be alright in the end.

What occurred to me on ['The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'], and also with the passing of her mother, is that there's going to come a time when I'm not going to get to be with this person anymore. I'm not going to get to be with my children anymore. Or friends, people I love and respect. And so, if we have a flare-up, it evaporates now. I don't want to waste time being angry at someone I love.

Hawaii is one of those places, which would make you click pictures one after the other. It is full of picturesque locations and every photographer's dream destination. With the long list of such places, you would want to make sure to not miss out on any of them. But, you would have to choose the best among all of these beautiful locations. Here, are some of them! All you have to do is rent a car Maui and ride it to the destination.
Hawaii's Big Island has Kilauea volcano on its southeastern region, which happens to be the world's most active volcano. It has erupted for more than 60 times since 1983 and sits near the ocean. The hot molten lava flowing in the ocean makes it a sight to remember and also paves way for great photography.
The Kalaupapa National Historical Park in Hawaii offers a lot of photographing opportunities. The tall mountain cliffs which fall among the top ten ocean views in the world are often clicked by photographers. You will have to get on a mule and after around 3 miles you would reach this place but the shots that you would end up with would be all worth it.
This place is just about perfect for all those beach photos. On the north shore of Oahu beach, the placement of palm trees on the beach side create an exquisite sunset and sunrise, which gives a great opportunity for photography.
If you are looking for something not so calm and serene, then you should visit Pipe, where world's best surfers ride on really challenging waves. It is quite inviting for some action packed and adventure depicting shots.
The Mauna Kea mountain peak, which is 14,000 ft. above the sea level, is the perfect spot to get great sunset/sunrise shots. The moving clouds, Pacific Ocean and the sun beautifully blend together to give that magnificent picture.
Better known as the grand canyon of the pacific, Waimea canyon will give you ample of photographing opportunities. Its beauty is beyond words and the volcanic soil creates a splendid contrast with the greenery around.
To go to all of such places, you can log on to www.hawaiicarrentals.net and book a rental car. For instance, if you wish to go to some place in Maui, you can rent a car Maui and move around easily. After all, getting that perfect shot might require you to travel around.

Gaspar Noé: For Adults Only
Arts+CultureFeature
As Love explodes on to our screens this month, cinema's master of excess talks about his earliest sexual encounters, Cannes scandals and challenging film's final taboo
TextIsabella Burley
11November 2015
Taken from the autumn/winter issue of Dazed:
It's almost midnight, and Gaspar Noé is sitting in the darkened corner of a Parisian bar recalling one of his earliest sexual encounters. "When I was 16, some of my friends offered me an inflatable blow-up doll," he begins. "One day, when my parents weren't home, I smoked a joint and was having sex with it when it exploded! I felt like I'd killed someone."
For Noé, it was an early education in transgression. Given the director's taste for erotic extremes – he's even 'filmed' sex scenes from inside a vagina – it should come as no surprise that tonight, nothing is off-limits.
We've been at this same late-night spot for hours now. Between us, we've smoked seven cigarettes and had four glasses of wine. The auteur speaks in intense bursts punctuated by lingering pauses, and it's unclear whether he's off in his own world or playing some sort of cryptic mind game. Even in person, Noé keeps you on the edge of your seat – but, despite the sex-doll confession, he's hardly depraved. In fact, the most shocking thing about Noé is the speed at which he's just devoured an after-hours dinner.
Noé's films, on the other hand, are steeped in brutality. Since the mid-80s, he's traumatised and transfixed audiences with his unflinching depiction of sex and violence. His first feature-length, I Stand Alone (1998), told the story of an alienated butcher consumed by vivid fantasies of incest, suicide and murder. The same year, he was commissioned to produce an anti-Aids commercial. The result was a seven-minute short, Sodomites, featuring a leather-clad minotaur sodomising a woman. It was never released.
Enter the Void (2009) was a pulsating foray into the psychedelic unknown, but Noé's most controversial film to date is still Irreversible (2002), which features a relentless nine-minute rape scene, captured in a single, unbroken take. "Everyone is terrified about what rape is," he explains. "I would say the length of that scene makes it more realistic than in other films I've seen. But I'm not surprised that, when you see top-ten lists of the most violent movies ever, my movie comes up. Most of the time, number one is Salò – every time I see that film, I'm shocked and shocked again."
Now, Noé is set to invade people's minds once more with his viscerally erotic and deeply emotional new film, Love. Shot entirely in 3D, it's a mind-melting blizzard of orgies, addiction and screen-covering cum-shots. And yet that title isn't ironic: the film really is about love, which might just make it Noé's most perverse move to date.
Gaspar Noé shares his erotica collection14
When did you first watch Pier Paolo Pasolini's Salò (1975)?
Gaspar Noé: It was the night of my 18th birthday. Earlier, I had just been to a porn theatre with my schoolmates, and when I went home my mother turned to me and said, 'Do you want to know what torture is? Come with me to see Salò.' So I went to see it with her. We took the subway back home and she said, 'What did you think of the movie?' (laughs) I was like, 'Please, mum, I don't want to talk about it.'
It must have been torture watching it with your mum.
Gaspar Noé: The torture was the movie, not watching it with my mum! She thought that day I was turning into a man, so she wanted to show me human cruelty. My mother was a social worker and knew all about that, but I was not in the mood to discuss the movie right away. Both my parents loved cinema, but especially my mother. One day, when I was 13 or 14, she got upset because I went to see Fellini's Casanova with my father. She thought it would push me to turn into a sex maniac just like Casanova!
Did you?
Gaspar Noé: Well, between 14 and 18, I masturbated a lot. I was like a junkie! I was consuming specialist videos, and one day I just quit, in the same way some people quit drugs. I started promising myself that if I spent one month without masturbating, God would send me the prettiest woman in the world! (laughs) I guess you trick yourself in order to stop your addiction. The truth is, after that I got into a relationship. So I replaced the masturbation with a love story. I was very compulsive at the time. I became addicted to one person.
How old were you when you lost your virginity?
Gaspar Noé: It was with an older woman when I was about 14 or 15... She was sweet, but for sure the least attractive woman I've had sex with in my whole life. She was a mature professional. The friend of an uncle paid for us. He brought us to the only woman who was willing to take care of us. It was in Spain during our summer holidays. I remember when I came back to school I told my friends and they said, 'How was it? How was it?' The only answer I would give them was, 'It's humid inside...' (laughs)
Do you remember the first time you watched porn?
Gaspar Noé: I think I was 15. Canal+ started broadcasting one porn movie every month on pay-per-view, so I went around to a friend's place and we watched one together. And later, on the day I turned 18, I went to an X-rated movie theatre to celebrate my birthday. A year after that, I went on my own, but I got scared because there were lots of old weirdos in there trying to sit next to me. So I left. (laughs)
People are calling Love pornographic – how does that make you feel?
Gaspar Noé: Love is not pornographic. The term pornography is used to represent an emotionless sexual act. In 'pornography', you have two words – 'porno', which means prostitution, and 'graphy', which means representation. That is not what the movie is about. When you have sex with someone you met in a bar – or someone you've dreamed of making love with – you don't think that you've just done a porn scene the next day, do you?
Not exactly...
Gaspar Noé: You think you've just made love to someone! When things happen in life, why shouldn't you show them in a movie? Most of the time love scenes in movies are totally detached from love. We're afraid of showing the essence of desire on screen. Despite us living in a non-religious society, there are still elements of religious society which constrain the people around us. Which is why it's so hard to portray love or sexual passion for what it is. You never see people kissing in X-rated movies; you never see a woman getting pregnant; you never see a woman having her period; you never see people promising love or a future life, because that would kill the excitement of the reptilian brain.
Despite the controversy, some critics have called Love your tamest film to date. What do you make of that?
Gaspar Noé: Irreversible was very violent. It was about rape and revenge. If you have a violent subject matter, you do it violently. But with Love, the violence was the violence of someone's addiction to another person, so how do you portray that? You don't need to add a rape or S&M scene. I've never been attracted to S&M, so why would I need to show that on screen? You are only curious about the things that excite you.
The swingers scene in Love is great – have you been to many swingers' parties?
Gaspar Noé: I have, but it's not my thing. I don't take hallucinogens on my own, but when I was preparing for Enter the Void I tried all kinds of psychedelics. When I was shooting I went with my assistant director to check out gay clubs to shoot the opening scene of the movie in. The good thing about being a director is that you can find excuses for all your curiosities! But I'm not at all the swinger type.
Where did you shoot?
Gaspar Noé: In a real swingers' club in Paris called Quai 17. I've heard some couples say, 'We have to risk ourselves and get into it in order to open ourselves up.' But often things fall to pieces with couples like that. Unless you are more fuck buddies than a sentimental couple. But if you didn't meet as swingers, tensions can arise.
In reality, I'm not sure swinging would be as sexy as it's often made out to be on film...
Gaspar Noé: Mostly it's middle-class people who aren't very happy in their emotional lives, so they want to take more risks. Sometimes men hire call-girls to pretend they are their girlfriends, so they can get access to the club and get other girls. If you are single, why wouldn't you go cruising to a swingers club? But if you fall in love with a person you meet at a swingers' club, it's risky. If the person likes that world, you might need to be able to handle that.
I'm curious, have you ever had an out-of-body experience?
Gaspar Noé: I've tried my best to have one! I've tried all kinds of psychedelic drugs. I even had hypnosis lessons to see if I could see myself coming out of my body, but it never happened. People say the easiest way to have one is to take ketamine.
Are there any drugs you still want to try?
Gaspar Noé: I've never tried morphine. I've never tried 2C-T-7, which I hear is a very intellectual psychedelic – you don't have visions, but you analyse your own stream of thoughts in a philosophical way. Some people have recommended it to me. One day!
"You never see people kissing in X-rated movies; you never see a woman getting pregnant; you never see a woman having her period; you never see people promising love or a future life, because that would kill the excitement of the reptilian brain" – Gaspar Noé
A lot of people don't know about your upbringing in Argentina. The 60s were a tumultuous period for the country, was there a lot of civil unrest out on the streets?
Gaspar Noé: Yeah, there was. My parents were very leftist so they would bring me to the riots. It's funny when it turns into mayhem – you hear explosions, everyone's crying. It's like a quick, short war and then the next day everything seems OK again. Then, when the dictatorship arrived, they had to leave the country very quickly. I came with them to Paris because they didn't want to end up in a torture camp, but they lost a few of their friends during that period. It was fun to land here.
The posters for Love were so explicit, with the ejaculating penis and the three mouths dripping with saliva. Did you want it to be a tease?
Gaspar Noé: The posters were never intended for the audience, they were just to convince the foreign distributors to fund the movie. I actually just shot these photos myself one afternoon months before we'd even started shooting. But when the movie was selected for Cannes, I texted the image of a penis cumming to Vincent Maraval, my long-term production partner, saying 'Love from Cannes: champagne!', and he asked me if he could tweet it. Of course, I agreed. Then, perhaps because there was nothing close to a scandal at Cannes this year, Love became the scandal of the week. Cannes always needs a scandal, but my movie wasn't scandalous at all. People felt lost, because they expected it to be like Caligula – something very dark and excessive – but it was a love story.
People are almost expecting you to cause a scandal...
Gaspar Noé: (laughs) Maybe there is something about this movie that misbehaves compared with my other movies.
When Irreversible came out, it was reported as the most walked-out on film of that year.
Gaspar Noé: Yes, yes. But people haven't walked out of this movie. The very few people who did, walked out during the opening scene, thinking they didn't need to see the rest! So they escaped. But they missed the fact that the rest of the movie is much softer than the first scene.
Your father was at Cannes with you. What was his reaction?
Gaspar Noé: That I went too far. (laughs) I didn't know what he meant, but I think he was shocked by the dick cumming on the screen. Or maybe I went too far because I used all of my family names for the film... Besides the characters called Noé or Gaspar, even the shaman had my father's name, Yuyo. Murphy, which is my mother's family name, fucks a girl called Paula in the bathroom, and Paula is the name of my sister.
Why was it important for you to show real sex on screen?
Gaspar Noé: When you make a movie, not everything is real. In this case, I mainly wanted it to be emotional – maybe it's not supposed to be arousing. Maybe some people got aroused, but (most) people told me it made them want to cry rather than give them an erection.
I think you achieved both. That's what made it unsettling.
Gaspar Noé: As long as no one touches your knee during the screening! Which scenes did you find arousing?
The opening scene, because it felt so real.
Gaspar Noé: Some scenes with Murphy and Electra were real, but other times it was not needed. We could have hired body doubles, but it would have become so complicated. And if the actors are going for it then why not? But most of the scenes were simulated because we could simulate them well. The image at the end looks like real life. It wouldn't be any good promoting the movie on the basis of whether the sex scenes were real or not – that's not the subject. It would kill the arousal if people came to see the film knowing that we hired body doubles and the sex wasn't real. Good magicians never reveal their tricks. I like to keep things a mystery. (laughs)
"When I see images nowadays of girls who are shaven like plastic dolls, I don't think it's as pretty. Back to the bush!" – Gaspar Noé
Why did you choose to shoot Love in 3D?
Gaspar Noé: As a director, it's like a new toy you are given. I like toys, but I pushed the limit so far on Enter the Void that I didn't want to play the same game. I thought, 'What else could I do to feel excited when I get on set?'
Do you think the post-internet generation has become desensitised when it comes to seeing sex portrayed on film?
Gaspar Noé: I think new generations are much less shockable than mine, because you had to go to particular shops to buy a VHS or magazines. Now, you take your cell phone and just Google any word you can imagine. You have access to all the images that are banned in one second. The worst thing is that those images are not fake. Mostly they are real. For example, if you Google the phrase 'making love', I'm sure all of the images you'll get will be of people who are fully shaven or bodybuilders performing sexual acts. That's not making love for me.
I liked that Electra and Omi weren't shaven.
Gaspar Noé: I like pubic hair! I think it's much sexier. I was raised in the 70s watching images of women with the full triangle. When I see images nowadays of girls who are shaven like plastic dolls, I don't think it's as pretty. Back to the bush!
Are there any taboos left when it comes to sex on film?
Gaspar Noé: I noticed that showing a simulated rape scene can be very shocking to many people. I'm not attracted to the idea of censoring images for a younger audience, but I heard that Irreversible – which was shown on TV – had been seen by kids who are 13. That's a weird way to visualise sex for people who don't have a sexual life, but you can't control everything. Anything can be downloaded on the internet.
Did your parents watch Irreversible?
Gaspar Noé: When she was still alive, my mother came with me to Cannes and she enjoyed it. And two years ago, I told her I was going to do a movie that was very sexual (with Love). She said, 'No, you're better at violence. You should do another violent movie.' I said, 'No, mum, I want to do a movie about love.' So that's what I did.
Love is out November 18.

It's always the women who shoulder the burden of flight in the eastern Congo. Look closely at this woman. She's carrying a mattress, a jerry can for water, blankets, and a baby. She's also most certainly carrying her cooking pot and anything else of value that her family has. Her clothes are clean and her baby has shoes. She's not so thin and emaciated that she is completely malnourished, which means that her children are probably not malnourished either, since mothers usually let their children eat first. Her life is not easy, and she shouldn't have to live this way, but until this, she was probably doing okay.
She'll walk for five miles in flip flops carrying everything she owns until she gets to the camps at Mugunga, where she'll try to keep that baby safe from war and cholera and starvation, until the time comes when she can walk back, hopefully still in possession of these few things, to see what is left of her home.
The BBC has a story today about one woman, Brigitte, who's just fled Sake for the third time in a year. Brigitte walked down the Sake road to Mugunga with her little ones and their things, just trying to stay alive. Maybe her children will be among the 22,000 officials are trying to vaccinate in the camps. Isn't it sad that it takes war for a child to get access to something as basic as innoculation?
E says (everyone says, really) that they are terrified of cholera. The rains have started again and that makes the risk of cholera even greater. All it takes is one person polluting an already limited water supply to set off a chain reaction of disease and death that is difficult to control.
And I am torn. Part of me is glad I got out before the violence started. Part of me wishes I could be there, standing beside E and C and Lyn and Jo, doing whatever can be done to help.
I just reread the story about Heal Africa that ran in Christianity Today last year. Lumo airs next week. Both are reminders that there is good in the midst of evil, that women and children and fathers and brothers who flee are not forgotten.
But, oh, it breaks my heart that they have to walk so far, with no promise of anything at the end of their journeys, and little to return to but a broken world.
And as if Congolese burdens aren't heavy enough, the BBC reported last night 5 confirmed cases of Ebola with others being tested. An uncontained Ebola outbreak would be an unmitigated disaster at any time, but during internal violence and displacement, economic and ecological problems, government instability, and, lest we forget, the HIV plague--it seems one "burden" too many. Today, after my prayers for the Congolese, I wrote 3 checks: 1 for Baptist WorldAid (an ABC missionary doctor is one of those working to stem the outbreak), one for MSF/Doctors Without Borders (who first broke the Ebola story), and one for the World Health Organization (which will do the heavy lifting in trying to contain the outbreak quickly). I wish I could do more.
Michael, thanks for pointing out this other unfortunate situation. At least it's in a region of Congo that's pretty far from the fighting. The two things in one place would just be too much. Thanks for reminding us that we can help. A little goes a long way in central Africa.
Check my blog, but thanks for putting today into perspective for me. As a mother and a woman I cannot begin to imagine what she's going through.

Thomas Cook to audit whale and dolphin animal park in China
08/08/2018|11:23:25 AM|TravelWeekly
Thomas Cook has confirmed the Atlantis Sanya resort in China, which keeps beluga whales and dolphins in captivity, will undergo an animal welfare audit.
Animal rights groups have criticised Cook for continuing to sell package holidays to the recently opened resort on Hainan Island after publicly announcing it was dropping attractions that keep killer whales.
Cook released a programme of package holidays to the Chinese tropical beach resort last month, including Atlantis Sanya which has a marine and waterpark, home to Bottlenose dolphins, white-sided dolphins, sea lions and beluga whales held for display and entertainment.
Cook says it has removed 29 attractions in the last 18 months which failed to meet the minimum Abta animal welfare standards and will "continue to keep its policy under review".

Operation of a CCD imager on a curved focal surface offers advantages to flat focal planes, especially for lightweight, relatively simple optical systems. The first advantage is that the modulation transfer function can approach diffraction-limited performance for a spherical focal surface employed in large field-of-view or large-format imagers. The second advantage is that a curved focal surface maintains more uniform illumination as a function of radius from the field center. Examples of applications of curved imagers, described here, include a small compact imager and the large curved array used in the Space Surveillance Telescope. The operational characteristics and mechanical limits of an imager deformed to a 15 mm radius are also described.

PG&E to restructure board in wake of fires, lawsuits and bankruptcy
In the aftermath of deadly fires, mounting lawsuits and Chapter 11 bankruptcy, PG&E now plans to restructure its board of directors before the annual shareholder meeting in May.
Monday morning, the state's largest utility announced five of the ten board of directors will stand for election in the coming months. In addition, eleven independent directors will also be added to the board.
The board released this statement which reads in part, "We fully understand that PG&E must re-earn trust and credibility with its customers, regulators, the communities it serves and all of its stakeholders, and we are continuing to make changes that reinforce PG&E's commitment to safety and improvement. We recognize the importance of adding fresh perspectives to the Board to help address the serious challenges the business faces now and in the future."
According to a press release, the Board is working with a leading search firm and has identified strong candidates who would add fresh perspectives and augment the Board's expertise in safety, operations and other critical areas.
In filing bankruptcy last month, PG&E listed more than $50 billion in liabilities. The liabilities include lawsuits from 35 families impacted by the Camp Fire, the deadliest fire in California history. An investigation into whether PG&E equipment is to blame for the Northern California fire is ongoing.
It is not clear which current board members will remain after the restructuring.

Antique Annie's Magic Lantern Show
by Marian Henderson
Album: Cameo (1970)
Running to 3 minutes 32 seconds, this arpeggiated folkish Australian song performed by Marian Henderson was co-written by Jimmy Stewart and Doug Ashdown. It was released as a single backed by "Lady Of Carlisle."
In April 2014, veteran BBC presenter Desmond Carrington introduced it on his weekly program with a personal anecdote.
It was he said an exact picture of an old-fashioned antique shop in Maidstone he used to visit in the 1950s. Run by a Mrs. Turk, it was crammed from basement to roof with what she called her "little treasures." He discovered the LP in the 1980s, and couldn't believe his ears because of the similarity of this song with Mrs. Turk's shop, right down to the three flights of stairs. >>

Three years ago a group of young but experienced animators of Studio "Dragon" started the creation of the first Bulgarian fantasy to show native mythology in a modern and attractive way. Future animation series "The Golden Apple" won't be a retelling of the famous folk tale of the three brothers and the Dragon, and the author's adventure series. Relying on folk motifs and legends, the animated project will show Bulgaria in a positive light. The visual style and the music will include traditional and adapted folk motifs.
The animators wanted to make young Bulgarians to find and older-to rediscover the richness and wisdom of Bulgarian folklore. The artists were inspired by the idea to recreate with modern digital technologies and globally to promote the Bulgarian identity. For them, The Golden Apple is not a simple animation, and cause. The whole team works on a voluntary basis, by investing time and effort in the project.
The trailer of the series will be released on 16 November on the site of the initiative – here. The ambition of the team is to become a world event. So young animators are hoping to demonstrate the uniqueness and importance of the project and to attract investors with financial and logistical support to make the planned animated series reality.
The animated series "The Golden Apple" is directed not only for children, but to a wider audience, because it presents problematic situations, interesting for the adult audience as well. Kids will love the adventure and action items, but a more mature audience will appeal the exotic environment, storyline and contemporary themes. Each episode will track the history of the characters on their road to Apple. Stitching together their individual stories and faced with other humans and magical creatures on their path, the protagonists will have to overcome their prejudices, to learn to take tough decisions and deal with their consequences, to achieve their goals.
The show will be synchronized to Bulgarian and English. The first season is 24 episodes, each lasting 24 minutes.

Q: MyHDL: Object type is not supported in this context I'm trying to convert this code to Verilog:
from myhdl import always_comb
from myhdl import modbv
from myhdl import Signal
from myhdl import concat
from myhdl import toVerilog

var0 = modbv(15)[12:]
var1 = modbv(15)[12:]
var2 = modbv(15)[12:]
var3 = modbv(15)[12:]
a = modbv(0)[3:]
b = modbv(1)[3:]
c = modbv(2)[3:]
d = modbv(3)[3:]
e = concat(d, c, b, a)

def qwe(sel, out_data):
    @always_comb
    def hdl():
        if sel == a:
            out_data.next = var0
        elif sel == b:
            out_data.next = var1
        elif sel == c:
            out_data.next = var2
        elif sel == d:
            out_data.next = var3
        else:
            out_data.next = e

    return hdl

sel = Signal(modbv(0)[3:])
output = Signal(modbv(0)[12:])

toVerilog(qwe, sel, output)

however, i got the following error:
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/myhdl/conversion/_toVerilog.py", line 474, in raiseError
    raise ToVerilogError(kind, msg, info)
myhdl.ToVerilogError: in file test.py, line 22:
    Object type is not supported in this context: a, <class 'myhdl._modbv.modbv'>

Moving the variables inside the qwe function will work, but I need those variables outside because I need to access those 'constants' in another module.
Can anyone explain why I got this error, and how can I make it work?
Thanks.

A: You have to use Signals to communicate between modules. Generators can only be sensitive to Signals. In particular, the sensitivity list that the always_comb decorator infers only contains Signals.
BTW, I am puzzled why you refer to "constants". If you need constants, just use plain ints. Types like intbv and modbv are mutable types, and not intended to represent constants.

After login you will see home screen. From side menu bar at the top select the "news feed" and it should display the news feed.but it is not displaying newsfeeds.Api is running correctly on postman
How I can get news feed in the table view ?

A: You need to set tableview delegate and dataSource.
Also put a break point in numberOfRowsInSection method to verify that tableview is set with datasource and delegate.

A:
You need to reload data of tableview when you get response - [self.tableView reloadData];

-(void)getBuyerSocialPage {
    NSLog(@"getBuyerSocialPage");
    UserDao * profileID = [[DatabaseManager sharedManager]getLoggedInUser];
    ApiManager * manager = [ApiManager sharedManager];
    [manager socialPageWithProfileID:profileID.userID withCompletionBlock:^(BOOL error, NSDictionary *socialPage) {
    //    NSMutableArray * details = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
        for (NSDictionary * temp in socialPage ) {
            [self.socialPageArray addObject:temp];
        }
        [self.tableView reloadData];
        if (!error) {
            self.profileImages=self.socialPageArray;
        }
    }];
}

A: Page Number is missing in your url &pageno=1.
Your url looks like this:
http://api.shoclef.com/api/NewsFeed?user_id=1164
It should be like this:
http://api.shoclef.com/api/NewsFeed?user_id=1164&pageno=1
try this in you API Manager class. Working fine for me.
 NSString * url = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@NewsFeed?user_id=%I&pageno=1",API_BASE_URL,userID];

Update For Image
Update this code in your cellForRowAtIndexPath function in NewsFeedNew class
NSString *strUrl = [self.images objectAtIndex:indexPath.row].image;
    strUrl = [strUrl stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters:[NSCharacterSet URLFragmentAllowedCharacterSet]];
    [cell.image sd_setImageWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:strUrl]];

A: Few things to debug here,
Your API response might be nil or having error check and log appropriate response.
If the server response is correct then get on the main thread and reload the TableView
Set the UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate to self if you haven't done in storyboard.
- (void)getBuyerSocialPage {
    NSLog(@"getBuyerSocialPage");
    UserDao *profileID = [[DatabaseManager sharedManager] getLoggedInUser];
    ApiManager *manager = [ApiManager sharedManager];

    __weak BuyerSocialPage *weakSelf = self;
    [manager socialPageWithProfileID:profileID.userID withCompletionBlock:^(BOOL error, NSDictionary *socialPage) { [weak self]
        if (error) {
            NSLog("Error fetching data");
            return;
        }

        for (NSDictionary *temp in socialPage ) {
            [weakSelf.socialPageArray addObject:temp];
        }

        if ([weakSelf.socialPageArray count] > 0) {
            // update UI on the main thread
            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                weakSelf.tableView.reloadData()
            }
        }
     }]
}


Where your group travels to is an important decision made by the Breakaway Tours Trip Planners and the Student Organizers of each group.
We look at a group's expectations for the trip to make sure the destination is the best fit for their group. Some destinations are more suited to experienced travellers, and some to first-time travellers. Some destinations have a more upbeat vibe, while other destinations are more relaxed.
Once the decision is made, it is then presented to the group with the knowledge and confidence that it will be the best fit for the kind of trip your group is looking to travel on.


Please join me in welcoming new Design Team Member ... Amy McCabe.
Amy is a scrapbooker and loves to create home decor and 3D Projects.
using Fleurette Bloom's original SVG files, printables and digital papers.
Here is a Valentine Decor project I created using Fleurette's Dia De Los Muertos 3D Kit.
I started out with a 10.25" x 8.5" chalkboard from Walmart.
I opened the banner file in my Silhouette Designer Edition. I ungrouped and deleted the border elements. I sized it to fit my chalkboard and cut out of vinyl on my Cameo. Weed out the areas you want to paint using the Xacto Knife.
I transfered to the chalkboard using transfer tape and added blue painters tape to cover up my frame. Paint the exposed areas with the foam brush and use a fine brush for the tight areas. Use a small amount of acrylic paint and dab on for a chalk effect.
I painted the frame with a light coat of white acrylic so the wood grain shows through. Cut the Small Rosettes from Fleurette Bloom's Lush Flowers 3D SVG Collection. I used the tweezers to hold the end and wrapped the paper to form the rosette. I secured with a glue gun and added colored pearls.
I hope you enjoyed my project. I am very excited and honored to be on the team.
Stop by my blog "Aimitup" for more creative inspiration.
I created the pretty tassels using my favorite twine Raspberry Cupcake and Totally Pink Trendy Twine. I also used the twine to string my banner flags, I just love the textured look it adds.
Hi, Fleurette here and what a fun week it has been! Today is Day 7 of the Fleurette Bloom and Trendy Twine's Inspiration Party!
I created this pretty Rose Topiary Tree that also doubles as a gift box, perfect for Valentines Day! You can fill the inside of the trunk with a special gift or candy!
To create my tree I used one of my favorite colors of Trendy Twine Bubblegum Taffy. I wrapped a little around the base and then made a tassel to hang near the top, and added a pretty crystal heart to it. I think it adds just the perfect finishing touch.
The Tree is from the "Christmas Memories" 3D SVG Kit, I covered it in little spiral roses sized @ 2.7" Wide (16 will fit on one 12x12 piece of card stock) from the "Dia De Los Muertos" 3D SVG Kit, using hot glue. I think it makes an impressive gift. The best part is, it's really quite simple to create. (This project can also be completely created using 8.5"x11" card stock).
Melissa of Trendy Twine created this beautiful Love Gift!

Hi everyone, Chantel here today to share my project I created especially for Day 4 of the Fleurette Bloom and Trendy Twine's Inspiration Party!
I created this cute treat bucket filled with treats! The perfect gift for someone special this Valentine's day. The bucket file is from Fleurette Blooms Beach Bucket 3D SVG Project Kit, It's super easy to put together and I just love how I was able to adapt a beach bucket to a Valentine's theme!

Today I am sharing with you my sweet treat boxes. So cute and easy to put together. The pillow box itself is just one piece, super quick and easy to put together. It's the perfect size for making multiples for any special day!
The file for the pillow box comes from Fleurette Blooms Anytime Pillow Box SVG Cutting File Collection, the piggy is from the Animal Cuties SVG Collection. I made the banner using basic shapes from the SIL library, but there is a banner SVG included in the Pillow Box file.
Their darling little bows are made with Trendy Twine, Raspberry Cupcake, Pinkberry Sorbet, and Totally Raspberry.
