Former CNN and HLN executive Bob Furnad was videotaped putting a bag of dog feces into his neighbor's mailbox, the Covington News reports.
Furnad was captured on a surveillance camera walking by with his dog, and then putting a plastic bag of feces into the mailbox of his neighbors Benjamin Dameron and Ralph Miller.
Dameron and Miller called police Saturday after they found the smelly package.
Furnad was ticketed $180 for littering.
"This was an immature act in response to years of malicious rumor mongering that I consider defamation of character," Furnad told the Covington News.
Dameron and Miller did not comment to the paper.
Furnad, 71, was the head of CNN's Headline News until 2001, and, most recently, an associate professor at the University of Georgia, according to his Facebook page.
Covington, Ga. is located 30 miles outside of Atlanta, the corporate home of CNN. It was also reportedly the location of the first five episodes of the "Dukes of Hazzard" television series.


Its 2001, Apple is readying up to launch an iconic product & experience revolutionizing the portable music player industry. The product is named unconventionally, as the iPod. Steve Jobs has been intrinsically involved in the design, user experience and even the minutest detail such as the color of the iPod…..to this end they were conducting focus groups to better understand which iPod color might be the primary choice of shoppers, and hence to launch in. Over a period of 2 days and intense discussions later the focus groups came back with the unanimous decision on the color — "Yellow". The product management team thanked the focus group members for having spent their time and as a gesture of their gratitude asked the participants to pick an iPod, of their choice, on the way out 80% of them chose white!
Data often tells a story which is contrary to what people say….data and more specifically big data allows us the latitude of looking for patterns rather than making us all anthropologists trying to observe people's behaviour and try to differentiate between what they say vs what they actually do. How many of you would have believed that with the launch of the white iPhone, the sales of white cars would have gone up in LA; I wouldn't have. But apparently- women like to match their colors; again big data would have allowed us to make such predictions.
I stumbled upon a graph from Gartner, indicating that IoT had recently nudged Big Data from the "Peak of Expectations" into the "trough of disillusionment". Not sure I completely agree with the chart since one in six (15 %) consumers already use wearable tech today, such as smart watches and fitness bands, making me believe IoT doesn't fit the mould of Gartner's previous predictions- where largely <5% adoption existed well into the "Slope of Enlightenment". Either way IoT & Big Data have arrived and if we marry the two together- we definitely have a winning proposition.

Do kids that young watch it??? I don't have kids but that seems young.
For me, it isn't that it's trite - there's plenty of that in films - but that there's an obsession by teenagers with it all. The whole vampire thing and its popularity mystifies me, but maybe it is suppose to. I don't fit the demographics.
I do know that the books have spawned a whole raft of fiction writers trying to appeal to the same audience. Older than Harry Potter readers but not yet adults.
Is it just called "after the plague"?

is what I could find about Plague 99 (the name doesn't seem quite right)
One of a series of top-quality fiction for schools, this is a story of survival, friendship and loyalty, featuring three teenagers in a picture of life after a plague has killed their parents and left London a ghost town

You've broken me down. I'm getting tired of your insincere, vindictive, condescending attitude.
Ofcourse you have to read good books in order to be a good writer. OFcourse the bulk of our knowledge comes from books. Are the most influential books in the canon? People have been debating that bitterly since it's inception. Ofcourse some of the canon is invaluable to our culture. And some of it is pure crap.
I'd like to quote:

Moderate drinking? Alcohol consumption significantly decreases neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus
Drinking alcohol in moderation is often considered a health-conscious behavior, associated with improved cardiovascular and brain health. However, "moderate" amounts of alcohol include drinking 3–4 alcohol beverages in a day, which is closer to binge drinking and may do more harm than good.
Here we examined how daily drinking of moderate-high alcohol alters the production of new neurons in the adult hippocampus.
Male and female adult Sprague–Dawley rats were provided free access to a liquid replacement diet that was supplemented with either 4% ethanol or Maltodextrin for a period of 2 weeks. Proliferating cells were labeled with 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) and the number of BrdU-positive cells in the hippocampus was assessed after the final day of drinking. A subset of rats was also exposed to a motor skill or associative learning task to examine the functional effects of alcohol consumption. The drinking regime resulted in an average blood alcohol concentration of approximately 0.08%, which is comparable to the human legal driving limit in many countries.
This level of intoxication did not impair motor skill learning or function in either sex, nor did the alcohol consumption disrupt associative learning 2 days after drinking.
Therefore, moderate alcohol consumption did not disrupt basic sensory, motor or learning processes. However, the number of cells produced in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus was reduced by nearly 40%. Thus, even moderate consumption of alcohol for a relatively short period of time can have profound effects on structural plasticity in the adult brain.

Polyphosphoinositide Metabolism and Golgi Complex Morphology in Hippocampal Neurons in Primary Culture is Altered by Chronic Ethanol Exposure
Ethanol affects not only the cytoskeletal organization and activity, but also intracellular trafficking in neurons in the primary culture. Polyphosphoinositide (PPIn) are essential regulators of many important cell functions, including those mentioned, cytoskeleton integrity and intracellular vesicle trafficking. Since information about the effect of chronic ethanol exposure on PPIn metabolism in neurons is scarce, this study analysed the effect of this treatment on three of these phospholipids.
Phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) levels as well as the activity and/or levels of enzymes involved in their metabolism were analysed in neurons chronically exposed to ethanol. The levels of phospholipases C and D, and phosphatidylethanol formation were also assessed. The consequence of the possible alterations in the levels of PtdIns on the Golgi complex (GC) was also analysed.
We show that phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate levels, both involved in the control of intracellular trafficking and cytoskeleton organization, decrease in ethanol-exposed hippocampal neurons. In contrast, several kinases that participate in the metabolism of these phospholipids, and the level and/or activity of phospholipases C and D, increase in cells after ethanol exposure. Ethanol also promotes phosphatidylethanol formation in neurons, which can result in the suppression of phosphatidic acid synthesis and, therefore, in PPIn biosynthesis. This treatment also lowers the phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate levels, the main PPIn in the GC, with alterations in their morphology and in the levels of some of the proteins involved in structure maintenance
The deregulation of the metabolism of PtdIns may underlie the ethanol-induced alterations on different neuronal processes, including intracellular trafficking and cytoskeletal integrity.

TACR1 Genotypes Predict fMRI Response to Alcohol Cues and Level of Alcohol Dependence
The tachykinin receptor 1 (TACR1) gene is a promising candidate gene in the search for the genetic basis of alcohol dependence (AD); TACR1 antagonists improve symptomology not only in preclinical models of AD but also in a clinical sample of detoxified alcoholics (George et al., Science 319:1536, 2008). The purpose of the current study was to determine whether TACR1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were associated with (i) blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) activation in response to gustatory alcohol cues in a sample of heavy drinkers and (ii) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, text revision (DSM-IV-TR) AD symptom count in a large, publicly available data set—the Study of Addictions: Genetics and Environment Genome Wide Association study (SAGE GWAS) (Bierut et al., 2010).
First, we examined relationships between TACR1 genotypes and neural responses during a craving task in 326 individuals with alcohol use disorders. Next, correlational analyses between 69 TACR1 SNPs and DSM-IV-TR AD symptoms were performed on the SAGE data set.
rs3771863, rs3755459, and rs1106855 predicted BOLD activation in response to alcohol cues in those same reward and reinforcement brain areas, especially in the medial prefrontal cortex, striatum, and insula. rs3771863 also predicted AD symptom count in the SAGE data set and BOLD activation in the mesocorticolimbic pathway response to alcohol cues.
Each of the 5 SNPs in the TACR1 gene that was significantly related to AD severity in the SAGE data set and/or the BOLD response to the craving task is near the 3′ or 5′ areas of the gene and may therefore be near mutations with potential functional significance.

Combined Proteomic Analysis of Liver Tissue and Serum in Chronically Alcohol-Fed Rats
Proteomic approaches may provide new insights into pathological conditions associated with alcoholism. The aim of this study was to conduct a proteomic analysis of liver tissue and serum in chronically alcohol-fed rats using agarose 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and 3-step serum proteome analysis.
A total of 12 rats were pair-fed nutritionally adequate liquid diet containing ethanol as 36% of the total energy or an isocaloric control diet for 2 months. Rat liver homogenates and cytosol fractions were subjected to agarose 2-DE. Serum samples were subjected to 3-step serum proteome analysis involving immunodepletion of abundant proteins followed by fractionation using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and 1-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Candidate proteins were digested with trypsin and identified using mass spectrometry. Observed differences in protein expression levels were confirmed using Western blotting.
A total of 46 protein spots were found to be differentially expressed in the liver homogenates and cytosol fractions of alcohol-fed rats relative to pair-fed controls. The most notable change was down-regulation of a 29-kDa protein, which was subsequently identified as carbonic anhydrase III (CA III). Down-regulation of this protein in alcohol-fed rats was confirmed by Western blotting. The messenger RNA level of CA III was decreased as well. In rat serum, a total of 41 proteins were differentially expressed. Of these proteins, only betaine–homocysteine methyltransferase (BHMT) was also found to be differentially expressed in the liver.
A combined proteomic analysis of liver tissue and serum in chronically alcohol-fed rats revealed that the expression of CA III is significantly down-regulated in the liver of alcohol-fed rats. Our results also showed that BHMT expression is up-regulated in both the liver and serum of alcohol-fed rats.

Effect of Predictive Cuing on Response Inhibition in Children with Heavy Prenatal Alcohol Exposure
Heavy prenatal exposure to alcohol leads to widespread cognitive deficits, including problems with attention and response inhibition. This study examined blood oxygen level-dependent response in children with and without histories of heavy prenatal alcohol exposure during a task of response inhibition consisting of cued and noncued trials.
Children and adolescents (ages 8 to 18 years) with (alcohol-exposed [AE] = 20) and without (control [CON] = 15) histories of heavy prenatal exposure to alcohol underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging while performing a go/no-go task. Unbeknownst to subjects, a predictive cue preceded the no-go stimulus in 87% of trials.
Groups were matched on demographic variables and did not differ on most measures of task performance. However, following cued stimuli, the AE group demonstrated a lower hit rate to go stimuli and more conservative response bias than the CON group. AE participants demonstrated more activation during no-go trials (inhibition) relative to go trials in the left precuneus, cingulate gyrus, anterior cingulate, and right medial frontal gyrus. During cue-dependent response inhibition, the AE group demonstrated less activation in the left precentral and postcentral gyrus compared to the CON group.
Consistent with previous studies of response inhibition, the AE group demonstrated greater frontal and parietal activation when attempting to inhibit prepotent responses than the CON group, despite similar rates of commission errors. This study further demonstrated that the AE group had impaired behavioral performance on cued trials and demonstrated less activation in precentral and postcentral gyri relative to the CON group on these trials. This investigation provides evidence of impaired behavioral and neural processing of sequential information in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, which can help improve inhibition in typical populations.

F1 Power Rankings: Spanish Grand Prix
Four races into the 2016 Formula One World Championship and there is one driver clearly out front of the field. Nico Rosberg has won the first four races of the season and has a near two-race lead over the rest of the field, including teammate Lewis Hamilton. While it's a great run of form, how much longer will it last? We try to answer that in this weekend's F1 Power Rankings.
#1 Nico Rosberg
I think Keke's kid is quite chuffed about running away with the championship: " It's not something I could have expected – winning the first four races of the year. It's been a great start but I'm just enjoying the moment and the form I'm in, doing my best to keep it going and hoping I can carry it through to the end of the season. Sport is all about ups and downs and being mentally prepared to bounce back stronger when they come"
#2 Lewis Hamilton
Lewis still hasn't given up hope on the 2016 World Drivers' Championship yet: "Every weekend, we've got the car into a great place setup-wise – I just haven't been fully able to exploit it. So the glass is half full for me. It will be a big challenge but there's a long way to go with 17 races left and, if the last four are anything to go by, there's a lot more still to come from us."
#3 Sebastian Vettel
Sergio Marchionne wants Ferrari to win. Four-Time doesn't feel any extra pressure: "We don't feel any special pressure here in Spain. There are 21 races this year and pressure is the same wherever you go. It's also true that we'd like to be in a better position in the next couple of races, but for the meantime we have to focus on this one."
#4 Kimi Raikkonen
Kimi said the thing again: "What we have achieved so far is not ideal, if you purely look at the end result, but that's not always very truthful. For sure we can do a better job, we'll keep pushing and try to make up the best of every race. As a team we know what we are doing and that's the important thing."
#5 Daniel Ricciardo
Danny Boy feels pretty confident about RBR's chances this weekend: "It's a relatively high down force circuit so we can strap most of the things on the car that make it go faster. It's quite hard on tyres so we are normally a bit stronger than some other teams in that area. It could provide a good opportunity for us to get close to the podium."
#6 Felipe Massa
As usual, the Williams team will contend for generic PR quotage of the week: "Spain is always a track that most of the drivers know 100% because we are always testing there in the winter. So I'd say that everyone pretty much knows the track. It is a circuit that a good car overall normally goes well because you have a little bit of everything; high-speed corners and low-speed corners. If the car works well here, it will work well on most of the tracks."
#7 Max Verstappen
Well look who's moved up to the big leagues: "I'm very excited for the opportunity to drive for Red Bull Racing and I can't wait to jump in the car in Barcelona. I have a lot of work to do ahead of the race, lots of data to study but luckily it's a track I know well because we have driven there so much."
#8 Valtteri Bottas
And #BO77AS is not better than Phil: "Barcelona is probably the track I've driven the most in my life because all of the pre-season testing normally takes place there. It is a nice event, overall, and there are plenty of fans, so it would be nice to have a good result there, especially because testing looked good for us there."
#9 Daniil Kvyat
#10 Romain Grosjean
Now that Haas is going to a familiar track, Romain discusses what this means for the new team: "The advantage of having data from the winter testing, and going back a few races into the season, is that you can check if you've been doing a good job in going in the right direction, in terms of the setup of the car and so on. I'm very much looking forward to getting back to Barcelona and trying the updates we've got and the setups we've been using."
#11 Carlos Sainz
#12 Nico Hulkenberg
The Hulk blames this season on bad luck and the team shakes responsibility: "I felt pretty disappointed about what happened in Sochi. In fact, things have gone against us for the last few races. We know we should have scored more points, but it's impossible to plan for the bad luck we've experienced. I'm looking forward to a weekend where everything goes to plan so that we can show our true potential."
#13 Fernando Alonso
Alonso summarizes the Spanish Grand Prix pretty succinctly: "It's notoriously difficult to overtake in Barcelona, so it's important to get a good start and stay out of trouble on the first lap. After that, it's a case of getting the strategy right, managing the tyre wear and maximising performance at the right times."
#14 Sergio Perez
Checo likes the track. Someone has to, I suppose: "The atmosphere in Barcelona is always special and for me it's one of the best tracks of the year. I enjoy the layout because it's a true test of your car with a bit of everything, especially long, quick corners, which all the drivers enjoy. It's a track where you feel the physical demands, especially on your neck, but overall it's just a great place to experience a Formula One car."
#15 Jenson Button
Jenson isn't exactly inspiring confidence this week: "The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is not a circuit that would traditionally suit us, since it's fairly hard on both the chassis and the power units, but I feel I have a solid car underneath me, and we're putting in pretty consistent performances on a variety of circuits, even if our results don't necessarily reflect all the work that's going on back at base."
#16 Kevin Magnussen
K-Mag discusses the reason that the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is F1's primary test track: "The reason Barcelona is a test track is because it has almost every type of corner. It has chicanes, it has fast corners, it has slow corners, it has big braking zones, it has corners when you prioritise speed on entry and it has corners where you focus on the exit: it has everything. It's a perfect test track, but in anything it does have more high speed than low speed corners so you need a nicely balanced car and tyre wear can get a little bit tricky: you can't really run the softest tyres there."
#17 Esteban Gutierrez
Steve talks about the impact of the new tyre selection rules on this race: "Any tire compound will suit the cars in different ways. The harder the compound, the less grip you have. Each compound has certain characteristics that are crucial to understand in order to make the tire work as it relates to your car's setup. For us, we're going with the mediums and the softs. We only have one set of hards."
#18 Jolyon Palmer
JoPa talks about the impact of the circuit on the driver: "It's certainly one of the more physical circuits as there are a lot of long, fast corners, lots of high lateral Gs that put your neck and your core under strain. For the long corners the aero is really important, and with the DRS on the straight and the tyre degradation we see there, there's potential for a good race."
#19 Felipe Nasr
Expect some generic PR quotes from the Sauber boys: "In general we and the other teams have a lot of data from the track in Barcelona, as we ran most of our test kilometres there. For the race weekend it will be important to achieve a satisfying qualifying position, because overtaking is, in general, difficult on this circuit."
#20 Marcus Ericsson
And your favourite pay driver: "We all know the track very well from winter testing. It will be interesting to see how the C35 behaves in warmer conditions compared to the colder ones during testing in February. I am looking forward to racing there and hope we can make another step in the right direction."
#21 Pascal Wehrlein
Pascal gives us a quick look at the characteristics of the Barcelona circuit: "There's a good mix of fast, medium and slow speed corners, frequent changes in direction and a nice long start-finish straight, all of which make it really interesting to drive. The track is quite abrasive so with the tyre allocation here we'll need to focus on managing degradation."
#22 Rio Haryanto
Apparently Rio's European home race is the Spanish Grand Prix: "Indonesia is my real home of course and I try to go back there at every opportunity, but the reality is that it's a long way when we're racing in Europe, so I have a base here in Barcelona for the next few months. I really like it here; the weather is good and it's a really cool city with plenty of interesting places for me to train."

First, we assume that we have a function that we want to serve as the source of the web worker.
Next, we use that function's source to create the web worker.
// where it will be interpreted as an iife.
// Create a worker by creating a url from the blob.
The createObjectURL function is experimental according to MDN, so that is a bit of a warning bell. However, according to caniuse, it is mostly safe across all browsers.
This can be used to create shared web workers, but they will not be shareable between tabs or windows.
This makes it more difficult, but possible to assemble dependencies for the web worker.
This isn't the officially supported way to create a web worker.
I think this approach to creating a worker should be used sparingly, if ever.
Many of us have wanted to create downloadable content straight from the browser. I remember several years back where it was more difficult and the solutions were not clean. Today, it is much much more simple and clean. Enter Blob URLs.
In this example, I have an object of arrays. These arrays may or may not all be the same length. The csvify function accounts for this by letting the user optionally specify a default value and whether or not the pad at the beginning or at the end for arrays that aren't the same size as the max.
It's what comes after the csvify function that allows all this to work. To make this csvified data downloadable, I first create a blob. This blob contains the csv data and is created with the csv mime type. I then create a url from that blob using createObjectURL and set that url as the href attribute on the download link.
Training as something someone else teaches you to do. There may or may not be any real expectation of advancing the concepts covered in the training. The analogy would be that if you work in a sprocket factory, you are not taught about the design of the sprocket nor any concepts behind the design of sprockets, you are taught how to make sprockets given direction. Training is limited, it can only take you so far in a programming career.
Learning is progressive and continual and a critical necessity for a career in programming. You should spend lots of time learning concepts, principles, and techniques. Then you should attempt apply and further those ideas. A good programmer is always learning from their experiences and asking, "How can I do this better?," "Have I clearly communicated my intentions?," and "Did I do a good job?" Will you ever find that you have done a bad job or written crappy code, most certainly! I think that realization is a sign of progress.
TLDR; Be a good programmer, don't stop learning.

I just ran into trouble while building a setuptools package. Specifically, I was using pip.req.parse_requirements to process package dependencies from a requirements.txt file and noticed that upgrading pip would break my code. Upon further investigation, I found out that they(authors of pip) do not guarantee the api of their internal code. This is because they officially do not provide a programmatic api to pip see (https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/2286). My suggestion, just use readlines, its the same thing and dirt simple.
We all know that getting to a minimum viable product (MVP) is a race. It is a race against competition, market need, industry direction, etc, etc etc. I came to a realization recently that reaching MVP can also be a race against yourself and how long your technological choices hold out.
For example let us say that I have chosen a specific UI framework. I chose it because it satisfied a good portion of my initial requirements out of the box, was well established, and generally well maintained. This UI framework saves me a a lot of time and money along with lets me get something up and going quickly. So now that I've selected a UI framework and have done some work, the requirements grow and evolve and the framework begins showing its age. Assuming that this happens before I reach MVP, I am left with a bit of a problem: reevaluate and possibly retool the system or keep moving forward. Retooling the system will mean a step backward and slowdown my timeline to market, but continuing means incurring more debt that will have to be recuperated later. What is the right choice in this situation? I believe you have to play it by ear, but favor sticking with your choices for as long as possible.

A document (called a file in old corpora) is a generic name used in Sketch Engine to refer to any file, document or webpage the corpus is made up of.
If a user uploads a file (such as .doc, .pdf, .txt), each of the files becomes a corpus document. If the user downloads content from the web, each web page becomes a corpus document.
The beginning and end of each document is automatically marked with a structure, most typically with <doc></doc> but certain corpora may use a different convention such as British National Corpus which uses <bncdoc></bncdoc>. This can be checked on the corpus info page.
A corpus can also be divided into documents by manually inserting document structures into the source text.

Wookey Hole Caves
Wookey Hole Caves are a series of limestone caverns, a show cave and tourist attraction in the village of Wookey Hole on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills near Wells in Somerset, England. The River Axe flows through the cave. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest for both biological and geological reasons. Wookey Holes Caves have a depth of 300ft.
It is the location of the Wookey Hole show caves. Wookey Hole is located in the civil parish of St Cuthbert Out, in Men dip District. The River Axe flows through the cave. It is one mile northwest of the city of Wells and lies on the border of the Men dip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). One possible origin for the name Wookey is from the Old English wig (an animal trap), although it is also a possible alteration from the Celtic word ogo (cave), referring to Woo key Hole Caves. Let us see what all things you at do.
The Caves
The caves at Wookey Hole first began to form when rainwater percolated through the porous, Limestone sedimentary rock of the Men dip Hills. This process slowly began to create the chambers of the caves.
Witch's Kitchen Chamber 1, there are consistent legends about a woman who once lived deep inside the dark chambers, who many locals believed was a witch. The first written reference was in 1470. The stalagmite of the Witch (and her dog), this chamber has various formations including the largest stalagmite in Wookey Hole called the Giant, which is over 100,000 years old and about 10 feet tall (3 meters). In 10,000 years it will meet the ceiling, growing at a rate of around 0.169 millimeters annually.
The Great Hall Chamber 2, one of the highest chambers Wookey Hole. It is over 70 feet high (nearly 23 meters), with amazing acoustics and incredible calcite patterns dancing across the walls. The scale and majesty of this chamber are best appreciated once you get to the bottom of the steps – take a moment to look back and admire its natural splendor.
Witch Parlor Chamber 3, great forces have created a beautiful dome-shaped cave. Once upon a time, this area was under a great ocean. Microscopic sea creatures swam in its waters, and their shells eventually became calcium carbonate, or limestone, which settled on the bed of the ocean and hardened into the rock you can see today.
Cathedral Chamber 9 Chamber, Wookey Hole Caves are the birthplace of British cave diving. The Cathedral Chamber (or Chamber 9) is the base for most modern diving that takes place in the caves. The chamber is 30m high, its green water 20m deep, and its vast walls red with iron oxide and shining with "flowstone" calcite formations.
Due to the outdoor nature of this activity, the golf course has seasonal opening times. Golf tickets do not include entry to Wookey Hole Attractions.
Enchanted Valley
Enchanted Valley, with magical surprises. The views are spectacular. Hyenas Den in 1857, when workmen were digging the canal that runs through the valley, they discovered a cave with a 30cm bed of bones. The bones included those from tropical and Ice Age animals such as rhinoceroses, mammoths, bears, and lions, along with prehistoric humans' flint tools. King Kong stands over ten meters tall at the entrance to our Dinosaur Grove. He has been a feature of the valley for years now, and still has the power to delight even the most world-weary tweenagers! King Kong is a scale model of the famous fictional Gorilla.
Enchanted Valley Refreshments, treat yourself to a hot drink or an ice cream whilst you enjoy our beautiful Valley.
Cave Diving Museum
Get an insight into the fascinating history of cave dining at Wookey Hole. The very first successful cave dive in Britain took place at Wookey Hole. Graham Balcombe and his partner Penelope (Mossy) Powell dived to a depth of 52 m (170 ft.) into the cave, reaching Chamber 7 in 1935. The site has provided rich pickings for archaeologists and anthropologists over the years. From Roman finds, and human skeletons to animal bones, daggers, and prehistoric tools, Wookey Hole has produced a treasure trove of incredible artifacts – and you can see some of them in the Cave Diving Museum. The diver pictured here is Michael Thomas, who made many discoveries at Wookey Hole, some of which are on display in the Cave Diving Museum.
Dinosaur Grove
At Wookey, Hole dreams come true for every little (or big person) who wanted to meet a dinosaur. Dinosaur Grove lets you get up close and personal with some of these magnificent beasts. Watch out though, some of them move!
The main building at Wookey Hole was a paper-making mill for hundreds of years. The paper-making areas and the mill buildings nowadays are home to lots of fun and adventure. Three soft play zones, with three soft play zones, spread out across the top floor. Circus shows, Wookey Hole Circus School puts on three circus shows a day. Wookey Hole Theatre, check the event when you visit.
Education zones, from paper-making demonstrations (the Mill was originally a paper mill) to a dedicated geological section on the history of Wookey Hole. Vintage Penny Arcade is an incredible jaw-dropping collection of vintage machines. All are in working order. Relive childhood memories of simpler times. Mirrors Everywhere, get lost in the mirror maze, or pull funny faces in the crazy mirrors. Paper Making,

Salam alaykom. First I would like to thank Ahlulbayt TV for the efforts it has put to spread the message of Islam on the path of Ahlulbayt a.s to the English-speaking community. This channel is one of the most professional channels which broadcasts Islam with all the beautiful varieties of programs which appeal to all Muslims. It is very sad to see Ahlulbayt in such a situation I hope everyone participates in keeping the channel on reminding everyone of what Allah swt said "Who is he that will loan to Allah a beautiful loan, which Allah will double unto his credit and multiply many times? It is Allah that giveth (you) Want or plenty, and to Him shall be your return." [Quran 2:245]. Inshella we will see Ahlulbayt TV having a stronger come-back. May God bless the whole cast and those who donate.
whenever i feel alone & watch ABTV i found best company, when i feel depress & watch ABTV i feel relax , it somehow shows me my mistake and guide me to the solution. this channel is amazing mashaAllah i am a great admirer of its shows,videos,duas everything, you wont believe but i even enjoy its adds LOLZ seriously but i do SIMPLY I LOVE AHLULBAYT TV may Allah (swt) bless each and every individual associated with it in anyway, accept all their services towards the path of Islam and reward them abundantly inshaAllah! ameen Ya Rab!
Ahlulbayt TV is the voice of True stream of Islam and Humanity. its effort to up-bring the lives with the love for AhlulBayt(a).
Salam aleikum brothers and sisters, rnrnI reverted to Islam at the beginning of this year and alhamdullillah I have found such a loving and caring community, the like of which I have never seen before. I never knew such love and kindness (still) existed in this world. Insha'Allah all those who helped me and other reverts (and converts) to obtain knowledge in Islam. Mashallah! May Allah reward all your efforts! rnrnThis TV show has helped me a lot, for I am a Dutch citizen, I have never heard Arabic or Persian before. This channel has helped me so much, for it provided the information I needed so much in English and it never seemed to go above my head. The great variety of shows keeps everything interesting. I know that I have trouble switching it off at night! rnrnMashallah brothers and sisters, may Allah reward all your efforts, insha'Allah!

While at one point their may have been doubts regarding the continued success of PowerBuilder, the release of version 11 showed that PB is here to stay. PowerBuilder 12 was released a few days ago and it has a bright future ahead. Help us to keep monitoring the behaviour of PowerBuilder developers in the coming year.
Take the Novalys PowerBuilder survey 2010 and find out what are the most awaited developments of PB? What proportion of PB teams adopted .NET technology in 2009? Who's still using PB5? Who has moved to PB11? Where do you fit in?
The migration march to PB 12.NET will have many shops revisiting legacy applications. In this article I'll show you a technique to use for rolling multiple test cases into a single test suite and how to approach writing test cases that exercise database-centric code..
PowerBuilder 12 has been released. The new version represents a huge leap forward as far as support for .Net development, particularly reflected by the introduction of a new .Net IDE based on the Visual Studio Isolated Shell. That doesn't mean that people who aren't doing .Net development with PowerBuilder (the people doing "classic" development) have been left out. There are also a number of enhancements in the "Classic" 32 bit IDE as well.
When the beta for PB.NET (PowerBuilder 12) started I was pretty excited to get my hands on it. This version comes with a whole new IDE and with it many new features. As a result, we now get to take advantage of things like better intellisense, script navigation functions, and a WPF editor for better UI design and development. Most important was the promise of being able to use the .NET Framework to its nearly full potential.

Democrats move to establish commission on Capitol riot as Republicans start pushing back on official narrative
A ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, who voted with Democrats to impeach President Donald Trump, has reportedly agreed to a proposed 9/11-style commission to investigate the events of January 6.
Homeland Security Committee chair Bennie Thompson (D-Mississippi) and ranking member John Katko (R-New York) seem to have agreed on a proposed format and scope of the commission, made up of five Democrats and five Republicans appointed by their party leadership. The commission will only be able to issue subpoenas with a majority vote or agreement between the chair – a Democrat – and the Republican vice-chair. Its report will be due by the end of the year.
Here's my reading on how the 1/6 commission would work, with legal expert @rgoodlaw.
Short version: It defines the scope well. Focus is on the terror attack on US democracy. Rs can pull mischief, but Dems have real control over investigative direction:https://t.co/3zaLVI3f7F pic.twitter.com/FcWi4tBTQ5
— Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) May 14, 2021
Pro-Democrat commentators hailed the published details, saying that Democrats have "real control" over the direction of the investigation, which will focus on the "terror attack on US democracy."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) hopes to have the commission bill up for a floor vote "as soon as next week," she said on Friday.
"It is imperative that we seek the truth of what happened on January 6 with an independent, bipartisan 9/11-type Commission to examine and report upon the facts, causes and security relating to the terrorist mob attack," Pelosi said at a press conference.
Democrats reportedly hope to pass both that and an emergency funding bill before Congress adjourns for Memorial Day recess at the end of May. The $1.9 billion proposal prepared by House Appropriations Democrats would foot the bill for deploying National Guard troops at the Capitol since January, give tens of millions of dollars to Capitol Police, and fund "future security needs" including retractable fencing. However, some Democrats have balked at giving so much money to police without additional oversight.

Republicans replace Trump critic Liz Cheney with ex-president's supporter Elise Stefanik as party's conference chair
The Democrats' rush to launch the January 6 commission comes as Republicans have begun pushing back on their narrative of the riot being an "insurrection" supposedly incited by Trump. Katko is one of the ten Republicans in the House, led by Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming), who voted to impeach Trump in January.
On Wednesday, Republicans ousted Cheney from her role as Conference chair, replacing her with New York Republican Elise Stefanik. Meanwhile, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) challenged the Democrats' characterization of the January 6 events, arguing there is "no evidence this was an armed insurrection" and that there have been worse things in US history – and that of the Capitol – than people "without any firearms coming into a building."
For more context, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) cited Pearl Harbor and 9/11 as "more of an attack on democracy." pic.twitter.com/cS9p0LyLlP
As both chambers of Congress met on January 6 to certify the 2020 Electoral College vote – according to which Democrat Joe Biden would become president – Trump held a rally outside the White House, arguing there were irregularities that courts and state officials refused to address. Before he finished speaking, a group of demonstrators breached the fence around the Capitol, and later forced entry into the building, disrupting the session just as both chambers began considering objections by Republican lawmakers.
While media reports claimed five people were killed in the commotion, the only actual homicide was the death of Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran and Trump supporter fatally shot by an unidentified security officer. Three other protesters died of unrelated medical emergencies during the riot. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick – initially reported to have died of injuries inflicted by "insurrectionists" – died of a double stroke, the medical examiner admitted three months later.
Alternate history: Biden's account of January 6 Capitol riot isn't factually challenged, but serving a political narrative
Most of the 400 or so people arrested in connection with the riot have been charged with trespassing or interfering with government operations. Democrats and corporate media have continued to insist the riot was an "insurrection" directly incited by Trump, with Biden claiming in his joint address to Congress at the end of April that it was "the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War."

The essence of Family Trust is family wealth inheritance. It is getting more and more attention and favor among the domestic high net worth population. We actively carry out family trust business, and set up a family trust team trying to make this business an innovative business in transformation period.

These clients are covering Shandong, Guangdong, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Liaoning, Fujian and other provinces and cities.
We fulfill carefully the obligations of the trustee's prudent and effective management in business. On one hand, the privacy of clients' property must be guaranteed. On the other hand, the management should realize an increase of the value of clients' wealth. At the same time, it also could realize the succession planning and risk isolation of family wealth. Shandong Trust strengthens the cooperation with domestic outstanding private banks, insurance agencies and so on, which not only increase the number of customers and trust assets under management, but also enhance the standardization and efficiency of our company's family trust business management.
SITC has made great efforts in promoting charitable trusts/public welfare trusts, and tries to establish individual charitable trust products. We design a double beneficiary model that both the trustor and the recipient groups possess the beneficial right at the same time, which has been approved and acknowledged by official public welfare institutions and the market. Following the implementation of Charity Law in September 2016, the policies of charitable trusts become clearer. We are seeking opportunities on charitable trusts and succeed in being entrusted to manage 179 million Yuan charitable fund of Public Security Department of Shandong Province, which occupies the initiative advantage in charitable trust market, and also displays our company's performance of social responsibility as a state-owned enterprise.
