A: Did you add jquery.min.css to the "styles" array inside packages.json?
You need to add jquery package to package.json and add a reference inside angular.json.
You would already have something like this inside styles array of angular.json:
"styles": [
          "src/styles.css"
        ]

Make sure you add the main jquery css before other libraries that depend on it, so that jquery is loaded first.

Outbrain to oust 38 employees after losing 75% of its market cap in a year
The internet recommendation platform will be laying off around 3% of its workforce
Sophie Shulman
Tech Crisis 2022
Israeli company Outbrain, which has developed a leading recommendation platform for the open web, is laying off 38 employees, around 3% of its total workforce which numbers 1,100 people.
Outbrain has seen its market cap plummet by around 75% since going public in July of last year, with its current valuation sitting at around $310 million.
David Kostman, Co-CEO of Outbrain.
(Amit Shaal)
Outbrain raised $160 million at a $1.12 billion valuation in its IPO. The internet recommendation company had announced a week earlier that it planned to raise approximately $200 million at a $1.4 billion valuation in its initial public offering on Nasdaq. However, its hope of selling 8,000,000 shares at a price of between $24-26 per share proved to be unrealistic, and it had to settle for a much lower valuation, especially considering it was hoping for a $2 billion valuation earlier in the year. Outbrain announced earlier in the month that it had secured $200 million in funding from Boston-based investment manager The Baupost Group, and currently has around $500 million in cash in its account.

Outbrain has been profitable in the past, but ended the first quarter of 2022 with a slight bottom line loss. The company said at the time that it expects to end the year with an EBITDA of $50-60 million.

Final Fantasy XV 2nd Anniversay news – Good and Bad news
Hey everyone, I am back again with some fresh Final Fantasy XV content. As a fan, I really love the characters, story and gameplay. The team behind the game hosted a livestream to celebrate the two years of the game's release last night. Whether you love it or hate it, it's worth talking about. I am here to bring you good and bad news for the news in regards to Final Fantasy XV. I will start with the good news. There might be some spoilers from here on out.
Episode Ardyn – March 2019
Square Enix just unvieled a short trailer on the upcoming DLC episode, Episode Ardyn. If you don't know who is Ardyn, Ardyn is the game's main antagonist. He first starts off as a shady character who helps Noctis whenever he is in a pinch in the story. He is also the ambassador to the enemy kingdom, Niflheim. It is mentioned in the story that Ardyn is immortal and wants revenge against the Astral and Lucian bloodline. In this new DLC, Episode Ardyn will explore Ardyn's past life when he meets Noctis father's Regis and his encounters with the Empire. We also get a glimpse of his brother Somnus. Episode Ardyn is expected to be released on March 2019.

Standalone Comrades game 12/13/18
If you didn't know, Final Fantasy XV released a while back that they had an online gaming service called Final Fantasy XV Multiplayer Online: Comrades. Comrades is part of the main game story where players create their own character and participate in missions on the quest to restoring the light of the world. The online game can only be played through the FFXV main game. Now, this online game can be purchased without Final Fantasy XV as a stand alone video game. This standalone game will be released on December 13th of this year with added content. This is only for PS4 and X1.
New enemies have arisen to threaten Eos – Gather your comrades and answer the call!
The new standalone version of #FFXV Comrades is coming December 12/13th! pic.twitter.com/Ty3fnKrb85
Final Fantasy XV x Final Fantasy XIV collab – 12/13/18
Get ready for another collab! Coming out this same month as Comrades, Final Fantasy XV has partnered up with Final Fantasy XIV for a crossover event in the main game; it will happen as a free update. This new event will be called "Adventurer from Another World" and Noctis will team up with a character named Y'jhimei and take on the Garuda. Players will be rewarded with a FFXIV themed costume.
Garuda, the lady of the vortex, has been summoned to Eos. Face the terrible goddess in this groundbreaking @FF_XIV_EN cross over event!

With all this good news finished, here comes the bad news.
Game Director resigns and leaves
Luminous Productions COO and Final Fantasy XV game director Hajime Tabata resigns and leaves the team. He was in charge of the game Final Fantasy XV and the DLC. Tabata is happy to hear that his fans love the game and he is not just leaving, but he wants to create a new project. His departure of FFXV brings up more bad news.
Cancelled Episodes!
It was announced months ago that besides Episode Ardyn, we were going to get more Episodes focusing on Aranea, Lunafreya and even Noctis. With Tabata leaving and letting Square Enix take control of the game, it has come to conclusion that the planned DLC will come to light and will be scrapped. Overall, the only Episode we'll be getting is Episode Ardyn and it may appear as if Final Fantasy XV will be done with added content in 2019.
What's your opinion in this news? I am sad to hear this game cancelled some exciting projects. No matter what, I am still happy to play Final Fantasy XV and I thank Tabata and the rest of Square ENix for creating this game.

PA Deer Hunting Season Kicks Off
Pennsylvania Game Commission officials are predicting another active deer hunting season across the state.
PENNSYLVANIA — It's like an early holiday present for hundreds of thousands of hunters across the state: Deer hunting season begins Saturday and runs through Dec. 10, with the exception of Sunday, Dec. 4.
Statistics suggest hunters will be extremely busy throughout the season. According to the National Deer Association, in the 10 hunting seasons between 2011 and 2020, Pennsylvania ranked second in the nation for buck harvest per square mile three times, third twice, fourth three times and fifth twice.
Hunters are aided by a flexible season designed around the Thanksgiving weekend when many people aren't working. For decades, until recently, Pennsylvania deer hunting season did not begin until the Monday following Thanksgiving.

I believe in ghosts, but they don't seem to believe in me.
I don't know why. I thought ghosts were supposed to visit people who are open to them. Even if ghosts don't exist, or perhaps especially if they don't exist, I should have seen one by now. According to a recent article in The Richmond-Times Dispatch, a few people have "fantasy-prone personalities, meaning that such people are "imaginative and highly suggestible . . . Sometimes . . . people report seeing or hearing paranormal things in settings where they are expected to detect something." Does Henrico Man really see ghosts?, Richmond-Times Dispatch, October 25, 2014.
Really? I've lived in, and visited, many places that are supposed to be haunted. I am imaginative and highly suggestible, since I'm already a believer. So why don't I see them?
Williamsburg, Virginia, where I went to college and law school, is supposed to be very haunted. No wonder, given its age and history. The Reverend Dr. W. A. R. Goodwin, the clergyman usually given credit for the idea of restoring Colonial Williamsburg, once told newspaper columnist Ernie Pyle "I wouldn't give a hoot for anybody who doesn't believe in ghosts." So I'm in good company. If you want to read about Dr. Goodwin and his spectral friends, go here. There's even a rather spooky picture of the Reverend himself.
In all that time, I never saw a single ghost.
The Wren building, which is the oldest academic building in the U.S. in continuous use, is purported to be haunted by a Revolutionary War soldier and/or Christopher Wren, who supposedly either designed or "modeled" the building, whatever that means.
Flanking the Wren Building are the two other original school buildings, both of which are also supposed to be haunted. The Brafferton, which is now used as an administrative building, at one time housed a school for Indian boys. The idea was to "civilize" the natives. The project was a fiasco. The Indians hated being taken away from their tribes, and the Colonists weren't about to accept them as members of their society. Plus, many of them got sick because they were exposed to germs they weren't able to withstand. Now the departed souls of these poor boys wander the halls, trying to escape. Can you blame them?
Across from the Brafferton is the President's House. When I was an undergraduate (back before indoor plumbing), the College President was a wonderful man named Thomas Graves. Once during a reception, I got a chance to talk to him. Naturally I asked him about ghosts in the President's House. He kindly told me stories about his experiences with his home's previous residents, some of whom checked out but never left. I was delighted.
Two summers ago, on a very hot July day, Audrey and I visited Berkeley Plantation. I had read all sorts of stories about the ghosts there. Ghosts who are said to haunt the house include William Harrison IV (Benjamin V's father) and two daughters who were killed in 1744 by a freak lightning strike while they tried to close a window. The infant Benjamin, who was in one of his sister's arms at the time, survived, but his sister's ghost can nonetheless be seen carrying a baby when she appears.
We took the tour, and as the group left each room, I would hang back and look around, hoping to see or hear something strange. Nothing. I guess ghosts don't like heat or humidity either.
I've been on ghost tours, including one in Ellicott City, Maryland, which is supposed to have a plethora of ghosts. The tour started after dark on a creepy November night. We heard lots of stories, but nope, nothing there either.
When I travel for work and get to stay at historic hotels, I research them online first to see if there are any ghosts associated with the hotel. Then, while I'm there, I strike up a conversation with one of the housekeeping staff and ask them if they have ever experienced any strange occurrences. I usually get some terrific stories.
The Hotel Monaco in Washington D.C.
Recently I stayed at the Hotel Monaco in Washington D.C. The hotel is located in an old building that used to be the U.S. Post office. I happened to see a maid outside my room and asked her about ghosts. She said she had never experienced anything spooky, but she said several other staff had. Then she pointed to the room next to us. (416 or 418). She said a famous celebrity (she didn't say whom) stayed in the room and got up at 4 in the morning, left the hotel and said he would never come back.
One afternoon a construction worker was startled by the sight of a beautiful woman standing in the courtyard's entrance-an area off limits to the public. He was perplexed by her attire – she was dressed head to toe in clothing of the Civil War era. She stared longingly out towards the street, as if she were waiting for something or someone to arrive, and then disappeared into thin air. Confused by what he saw, the construction worker sought an explanation. Why was she there, and what was she waiting for? He later found out that in the Civil War era, home delivery of mail did not exist, so it was common to see women pacing the courtyard of the General Post Office eagerly awaiting the delivery of the day's mail for news of loved ones. Paranormal experts believe the construction worker witnessed a ghost, awaiting a letter from her husband who was off at battle. Her anxious expression was likely due to her hopes that she would be receiving a love letter, rather than a letter informing her of his death in the line of duty. . . . Legend has it that Hotel Monaco's Paris Ballroom was used as a surgical room during the Civil War. Guests and employees of the hotel have reported hearing whispering in the ballroom thought to be the murmurings of doctors in surgery, and many have claimed to see the ghosts of doctors and nurses hurriedly walking the hotel's long corridors.
A couple of years ago, on a business trip to Nashville, I stayed at the Union Station Hotel. It used to be a train station. I really loved the ghost stories about this hotel, including this one, borrowed from the website gothic horror stories.
The Union Station Hotel in Nashville is a non-smoking hotel, and the lady needed a smoke before bed. She stepped out on the old platform, saw the bellhops and valets busy at their station and lit up. At the end of the platform she notices a woman, looking anxiously about, and pays little attention. The woman appears to be wearing clothes more popular in the 1940's than today, but that's not so unusual on a Saturday night in Nashville. The mysterious woman turns the corner and starts down the platform at the back of the hotel, and curious, the lady follows her. Only to find that she's disappeared. Curious, she goes to the valet and asks if he saw the woman. He replies no, makes some pleasantries about the weather, and the lady goes back onto the platform to finish her cigarette. As she approaches the woman again appears from around the corner, goes to the rail, climbs over and jumps. The lady, watching, runs to the rail and looks around, but there's no sign of the woman. The valet, hearing her call for help comes running, and does his best to calm the woman down. The lady regains her composure, but by now needs another smoke, lights up and begins to ponder what just happened. Then out of the corner of her eye, at the end of the platform behind the station, she sees a man. He's wearing a World War II uniform and appears to be looking for someone. As she begins to scream he becomes misty and disappears.
I walked around that same platform at 11 at night, hoping to catch something happen. Nothing.
Interestingly, the hotel itself often denies any such doings. The staff is apparently trained to say there are no ghosts. When I asked about ghosts at the desk, I received a non-committal non-answer. I find that curious since many hotels use their ghosts as a marketing tool. Not the Union Station Hotel. One guest tried to book the haunted room and made the mistake of telling the staff why. The room then became unavailable. You can read his story here.
By contrast, Berkeley Plantation touts on its website that it is part of a ghost tour of historic plantations on the James River in Charles City County. Side note: I could not get any pictures of the plantation to load up to this blog. I thought this was because of copyright protections on the photos, but even the pictures I took myself would not load. Creepy.
"Let's say this," he said in a 1995 Richmond Times-Dispatch Henrico PLUS edition interview. "Nothing has ever happened to me. I haven't experienced a ghost. I would like to." Exerpt from L.B. Taylor obituary, Richmond-Times Dispatch, March 1, 2014.
Crap. I guess I'm not the only one.

the discomfort of students in the face of prolonged confinement
Jewel Beaujolie1 week ago
Since the physical closure of universities in the face of the upsurge in the Covid-19 epidemic, isolation has caused increasing distress within the student community. Tuesday, a student from Lyon tried to defenestate herself, a few days after similar events, raising fears of a wave of suicide in front of the psychological distress.
Uneasiness in student residences. The government's decision to keep universities closed to fight the spread of Covid-19 is causing growing discomfort among precarious students, isolated by distance learning and the lack of prospects. They are trying to make themselves heard by the government by rallying under the hashtag # StudentsFantoms.
A Lyon student threatened to defenestate Tuesday, January 12, before being quickly taken care of, a few days after the suicide attempt of another student in Villeurbanne (Lyon metropolitan area).
This incident, which takes place in a heavy health context for students, echoes the suicide attempt on Saturday in Villeurbanne of a law student who threw himself from the window of his university room. The circumstances of his action have not been communicated. The young man has been between life and death ever since.
As an L1 student in Law / Science-Politics at the University Jean Moulin Lyon 3, I can tell you that the situation is serious. Around us, broken glasses and bruised bodies. And you only talk about polls, when the facts are sadly littering the asphalt.
– Xavier Giraudon (@xavier_giraudon) January 13, 2021
One of his classmates, Romain Narbonnet, then reacted by posting a message on his Facebook page on the current isolation of the students.

"Like any student, we are in social isolation […]. We stay 24/7 in our university rooms measuring the same dimensions as a prison cell, however with Wi-Fi. How much weight can a student take? "He wondered. It is vital to keep schools open, but universities and students then seem secondary. We are then, let's say it, left on the side of the road. "
# Ghost students to make themselves visible
The first years of the Faculty of Political Science wanted to make this distress visible. Earlier this week, they launched the hashtag # Ghostly Students on social networks to invite young people to share their unease or simply their frustration with the situation. An Instagram account has also been created to collect testimonials.
In an open letter addressed to the government, they denounce "the long speeches in which we are forced to play the role of the forgotten, the sacrificed" and calls for the reopening of universities to accommodate young people who can no longer take it.
The testimonies poured in quickly. More than 50,000 messages which call on their psychological distress, the precariousness they live and the isolation linked to the closure of faculties.
Stalls and depressions
"In the morning, I turn on the computer, but I am unable to follow the lessons. I have no more strength", sighs Sarah, in engineering school in Lille. After months of distance learning, many students feel like she "flops", worn out by loneliness and lack of prospects.
"Eight hours, alone behind a computer, it's endless. Attention is lost, you feel completely lost", testifies to AFP Sarah, 19, her voice tired after more than three months "without setting a foot In progress".
Since the physical closure of his school in October in the face of the resurgence of the Covid-19 epidemic, his motivation has died down: "at the start, I was hanging on, I said to myself 'it will not last'. But in December, it was 'got too difficult, I really dropped out ".
In the first year and "locked in a 30 m²" with her boyfriend, the Lille girl suffers from isolation. "It is the most difficult, the lack of social bond with the others, the teachers. I do not even dress any more, I stay in my bed", she breathes.
For other young people like Léa, in the second year of history in Angers, this "moral and physical exhaustion" has been going on since March [2020], accompanied by financial difficulties.
"I had a waitress job, so as not to be a burden for my family. At the first confinement, everything stopped", regrets Léa to AFP. Grant holder, it recently benefited from an aid of 150 euros, however insufficient. To pay her rent and "favor the purchase of school books", she admits sometimes eating "only once a day".
After having "held well for several months", the young woman was finally "diagnosed with depression" before "giving up almost everything" during the winter. "It was the massacre […] half of the 220 students in my class have given up, "she says.
"We lack prospects, there is the anguish of not finding internships, opportunities [avec cette crise]", explains the student. A time interested in a career as a teacher, she now plans" a L3 pro, in apprenticeship ", to" find human contact ".
"Students are the big ones forgotten by the health crisis"
On Tuesday, the discomfort of young people in the face of the crisis and of students in particular was at the heart of a debate in the National Assembly where the member of La Réunion Karine Lebon (GDR) called on the Minister of Higher Education, Frédérique Vidal:
"The students are the big ones forgotten by the health crisis, whereas they must study in an incredible loneliness especially when they come from Overseas", first recalled the deputy who added that "more than 50% of students [étaient] worried about their mental health and according to a Fage study conducted with Ipsos, 23% of students had thoughts of suicide ".
Karine Lebon (GDR) recalls the "suffering and isolation of young people, especially when they come from overseas", while "the mental health of students has been neglected for many years" and asks the Gvt "to hear the anger and distress "of young people #DirectAN #QAG pic.twitter.com/9ZoRjdkQrz
– National Assembly (@AssembleeNat) January 12, 2021
Karine Lebon asked the government to stop "the continued decline in supervision rates, to curb the explosion of student poverty by guaranteeing in particular their financial autonomy and at least by paying scholarships over twelve months". The member for Reunion also wanted "the meal for one euro to be served twice a day instead of one today".
Prime Minister Jean Castex announced that he would receive representatives of the university community on Friday. A national day of mobilization is scheduled for January 20 to demand the reopening of universities.

The overnight safari is that unique program which everyone loves to sleep in a remote place surrounded by high sand dunes; where the stars lit up as night lamp, the moon as lantern, the sky as the roof, a place free from noise and pollution where you share your great moments with your friends and relatives. When the winter starts in Dubai from October to mid of May is the right time to do the overnight safari. The temperature in Dubai during winter will be between 12 degree to 20 degree is this time make you feel like you are not on earth but in the heaven on earth. Overnight safari is the best way get a relief from the hustle and bustle of the busy city of life so everyone must do it at least once in life to time. The program is a day and night program that starts early in the afternoon power packed with adventurous drives, lots of activities, the experience of the Bedouin life and the secrets of the 1001 Arabian nights.
The program start with a 4x4 wheel drive jeeps for a smashing performace of roller coster ride over the gaint dunes of the Arabian desert. The jeeps would be setup by deflating the tyres for dune bashing to deep into the desert, with the jeeps jumping from one dune to the other, conquering new peaks and heights. The fun accelerates when you slide down the high dunes, enjoying the feeling of weightlessness, while it is time to conquer the next peak and so on.
We later drive on to reach our camp, the one and only 5 star standard desert camp in Dubai with all facilities such as neatly maintained toilets with ample water, uninterrupted electricity and perfect seating area. On arrival at the camp, you shall be given a traditional Arabic welcome with dates, tea and coffee. Inside the camp you can engage and entertain yourselves with numerous activities such as camel riding, shisha and sand-skiing. The Henna lady offers you some fine Arabic paintings on your hands and palms. As you experience these Arabic activities, we serve you with snacks and soft drinks.
After the sunset when you settle down in your place, it is time for the anxiously awaited Tanura show. You would be amazed to see the movements of performer doing the age old Egyptian dance solo male dance. After the Tanura, we shall be serving you with a full and rich 1001 Arabian night's barbeque dinner. Once you are through with dinner, sit back and feast your eyes and ears to the scintillating dance of a Belly dancer showing her skills dancing to the tunes of traditional Arabic songs.
Once the dinner is our the camp put the bon fire sit around it to experience the bedouin life in the oasis. The lights would be turned off, as you relax yourselves in the beautiful starlit night. We would be providing you with sleeping bags/ mattresses, pillows and bed spreads as you doze off to a deep sleep in the tranquility of the desert. Morning bells sound as the nightingale sings sweetly for you. You wake up, freshen yourselves and have a nice continental breakfast specially prepared for you. Now, it is time to drive back to hotel with memories to be treasured a lifetime.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND FIREWORKS
Fourth of July has arrived in the United States, and we are excited to celebrate our nation's independence with some explosives....better known as fireworks! Fireworks are a symbol of the Fourth of July, so we thought it would be fun to cover the science of fireworks and what makes them explode with all that color!
There are a a few different types of fireworks but aerial fireworks are the ones designed to shoot high into the air and give us those amazing, patriotic shows that so many of us look forward to every year.
First, let's talk about what makes up an aerial firework. A firework is held together by an outer container that is usually made up of paper and string. Pretty basic. Within the container, there are stars which are composed similarly to sparklers. Those are surrounded by black gun powder. Then, at the center, there is a bursting charge that is composed similarly to a firecracker and has a fuse that leads to the top of the aerial firework to allow for lighting.
To launch a firework, it is set on a mortar that normally has black gun powder in the center of it to assist with the lifting action necessary to turn a firework into an aerial firework. The shell design affects the outcome of the firework and some fireworks have multi-break shells to produce different effects, colors, and sounds when the firework explodes in the air. These can be composed by layering the composition detailed above in various ways within a single shell.
Now that we have covered the composition of the firework, let's talk science!
Different elements are used within the stars to control 2 things: the rate at which the chemical reaction takes place and the final effect of that reaction in regards to color and shape.
To control the rate of the chemical reaction, chemists use larger grains of chemicals and don't mix together the black powder as thoroughly as you would if you were using it for other purposes to slow down the reaction.
To get the coloring they want, a chemist has to choose the right elements. When an element releases energy, it releases it in the form of light, and each element releases a different color light. This light comes from releasing the energy stored within the atoms of an element. When atoms come in contact with light, their electrons become excited and move to a higher energy level. Electrons can not stay in an excited state forever though, and when the electrons are cooling down, they release a colored light dependent on the element. For an example, copper oxide emits a blue color when ignited, strontium chloride produces red,and magnesium and aluminum produce white. Red, white, and blue!
The shape is dependent on the construction of the shells. Where the stars are placed makes the most impact on how the firework will appear after the explosion!
Hope you learned a bit about fireworks — just in time for the 4th of July!

Снабженная большим количеством фотоматериала история Третьего рейха .
Advised briefly, gripping chapters, this can be an unforgettable real tale of survival. the writer was once featured in Steven Spielberg's Survivors of the Shoah visible heritage starting place. At simply 15, her mom, and brother have been taken from their Romanian city to the Auschwitz-II/Birkenau focus camp.
Encouraged through the convention "Deaf humans in Hitler's Europe, 1933–1945," hosted together through Gallaudet collage and the USA Holocaust Memorial Museum in 1998, this striking assortment, prepared into 3 elements, integrates key shows and demanding postconference examine. Henry Friedlander starts "Part I: Racial Hygiene" via interpreting the attack on deaf humans and other people with disabilities as an critical point within the Nazi try and enforce their theories of racial hygiene.
Sufferers of the Holocaust have been confronted with ethical dilemmas for which not anyone may organize. but the various life-and-death occasions compelled upon them required fast activities and approximately most unlikely offerings. In difficulties particular to the Holocaust , trendy top Holocaust students study the tricky questions surrounding this bad bankruptcy in international background.
Acclaimed historian and previous OSS officer John Waller tells a vibrant story of treachery compounded by way of ethical depravity of the failing loyalty of high-ranking Nazi zealots and of 1 man's efforts within the face of grave own chance to hasten the defeat of Hitler's Reich, thereby saving hundreds of thousands of Nazi concentration-camp inmates condemned to die.
Sometimes, we went in there, for no reason, to wander around the exhibitions; to get an impression of the models of the concentration camps or the Nazi uniforms, and also to show possession. 16 Sitting atop the hill at the entrance to the kibbutz, Habayit, as Harpaz describes it, visually dominated the kibbutz. As a boy, he felt the House was hovering over the communal dining hall where residents ate all of their meals (which at the time was right next door), as well as the members' houses and the chicken coop and the dairy and the groves; indeed, in his child's eyes, even the Mediterranean Sea and the Galilee Hills to either side of the kibbutz were overshadowed by the House.
In principle, the building's symbolism was not direct and only attempted to create a monumental effect. The symbols were not figurative, attempting to signify an observable imagery. Instead, they remained somewhat abstract, referring to and creating an effect of monumentality that could not be linked to any specific and recognizable sign. 70 For Godfrey, these expressions were neither a confirmation that it is barbaric to write poetry after Auschwitz, a reference to Adorno's famous dictum, nor were they solely about the sublime and the inability to represent the Holocaust, as he draws upon Lyotard's discourse on the analytical sublime.
In the exhibition spaces, seven principal displays were to be presented: Hitler's rise to power, life before the ghetto, the ghetto, the Judenräte, the Final Solution, the death camps, and the resistance. Imbued with the tradition of the Technicum in Lvov, Bickels applied some of the ideas of neo-classical monumental architecture in this project. The serrated walls, which recur in several of his projects, were a modernist abstraction of neo-classical symbolism. 68 The completion in May, 1965 of the built amphitheater, also designed by Bickels, better interconnected the aqueduct and the House and emphasized the temple-like features of the House, which required an ascent to reach its entrance.


Alcohol of drug addiction can be really nagging! The stage of addiction can even transform into drug abuse and this is a situation no one would like to be in. Let us then understand that what is drug abuse? A state of addiction where you start consuming substances in large amounts or through methods that can be harmful to yourself or others.
Decision To Quit – This is the most simple yet the most important step. When we use the term 'addiction' for anything, it automatically signifies the mental and physical dependency of the person. In this situation, taking a decision to come out clean is a giant step.
Joining A Treatment Center – Once the decision is made, it is equally important to find the right place for your 'cleansing'. This place is going to life-changing for you, so better to choose wisely.
Undergoing Treatment – Licensed professionals offer various programs depending on your aptitude and extent of addiction. Approach all treatments positively to derive maximum benefit from it.
Coming Out Clean – Once you have won over your addiction, it is equally important to sustain it and employ the techniques taught at the center for remaining clean.
Always opt for licensed and accredited programs for your treatment. Whichever State you live in, there always will be certain centers that are recommended by the Government. Then, there would be centers that your friends would recommend based on their own experiences. It is worthwhile to check both, however look for licensed professionals and training when you start searching.
There are many centers that provide options like in-patient and out-patient system. Keep this flexibility with you. Also look for their treatment methodology. While all centers would offer the 12-step de-addiction program, what you should check for is that what else they provide. Many centers like the Origins Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Center employ holistic treatment methods like spiritual programs, religious programs, healing through meditation etc. Take a pick as to what suits you the best.
Once you come out clean, it is also very important for you to check the follow up methodologies and the after care that the center provides. Often, it is seen that once the now clean addict is left on his own, the temptation to go back to addiction starts rising. For avoiding this totally, seeking help from counselors is required and this is what a good center will provide. Association and participation in meetings of the center post the program is also essential for keeping one clean at all times.


Age differences in conscious versus subconscious social perception: The influence of face age and valence on gaze following.
Bailey, P.E., Slessor, G., Rendell, P.G., Bennetts, R., Campbell, A. and Ruffman, T., 2014. Age differences in conscious versus subconscious social perception: The influence of face age and valence on gaze following. Psychology and Aging, 29 (3), 491 - 502 .
Gaze following is the primary means of establishing joint attention with others and is subject to age-related decline. In addition, young but not older adults experience an own-age bias in gaze following. The current research assessed the effects of subconscious processing on these age-related differences. Participants responded to targets that were either congruent or incongruent with the direction of gaze displayed in supraliminal and subliminal images of young and older faces. These faces displayed either neutral (Study 1) or happy and fearful (Study 2) expressions. In Studies 1 and 2, both age groups demonstrated gaze-directed attention by responding faster to targets that were congruent as opposed to incongruent with gaze-cues. In Study 1, subliminal stimuli did not attenuate the age-related decline in gaze-cuing, but did result in an own-age bias among older participants. In Study 2, gaze-cuing was reduced for older relative to young adults in response to supraliminal stimuli, and this could not be attributed to reduced visual acuity or age group differences in the perceived emotional intensity of the gaze-cue faces. Moreover, there were no age differences in gaze-cuing when responding to subliminal faces that were emotionally arousing. In addition, older adults demonstrated an own-age bias for both conscious and subconscious gaze-cuing when faces expressed happiness but not fear. We discuss growing evidence for age-related preservation of subconscious relative to conscious social perception, as well as an interaction between face age and valence in social perception.


This recipe is not meant to incite anger in pizza purists who live for the perfect dough and the wood-fired crust. These are simply good looking, tasty treats that are great for a casual gathering, and can be put together in minutes from bagged and tinned bits of this and that. You need that type of simplicity every once in a while. Every homemade offering does not need to be a high wire act leaving the host too worn out to enjoy their own party.
The ingredient amounts are a bit vague because it really depends on how you like your pizza.
Any toppings you like–I used pepperoni, hot Italian sausage, basil, green olive, and yellow bell pepper. I drizzled the veggie pizzas with white truffle oil. You want the toppings chopped fine otherwise they won't cook enough.
Baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you use foil you need to oil it or the pizzas will stick.
Brush a tortilla with a light coating of olive oil.
Cut the tortillas into rounds using a 2-inch biscuit cutter. You need something with a sharp edge or it won't cut through.
Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet. It's easier to build the pizzas on the sheet rather than try to move them with the toppings in place.
Add your sauce, cheese and toppings in whatever order you like. I sprinkled chopped basil on all the rounds, then added sauce (spreading it out a bit with the back of a spoon), cheese and meat and veg.
Pop the tray in the oven and bake for about 5 minutes. They will cook quickly so keep an eye on them. When they are golden and bubbly, remove from the oven.
Let cool for a couple of minutes then use a spatula to move them to a serving platter.
Serve immediately. Though best when hot, these hold up surprisingly well as they cool.

Alex Rodriguez: Wiping His Butt With the Fabric of America
May 1, 2009 · Michael W · Jump to comments
Article Source: Bleacher Report - New York Yankees
It has often times been said that baseball is part of the fabric of America.
I'm not trying to pass quick judgement on Alex. But I will say this, if he DID tip Pitches off to opponents, then he has wiped his a*s with the fabric of America.
I hope that he didn't do it. We already know he did steroids, he's the highest paid baseball player that has ever walked, skipped, jumped, or crawled on the earth and some historians are already putting him ahead of the old greats like Honus Wagner as the best Shortstop in history.
It would be a shame if anyone did this, but being the highest paid player and (maybe) the best Shortstop ever makes it all the more disheartening.
"Purposely" tipping pitches is something that I have never heard of, it's obviously a slap in the face of baseball. A complete lack of respect for the game. And again, wiping his a*s with the very fabric of history that so many hold as precious.
I'm not trying to sensationalize the story, but there are still many players that play for the love of the game, many players from the past and today. It's "more than a game" to many of the past and present players and to many fans and historians (past and present).
Is it more than a game to Alex?
I hope it is, I don't know if he tipped Pitches or not and I'm not rushing to judgement. We all hope he didn't. But if he did, it's a sad time for baseball.
As for Selig.
It's time to start banning people from the game for steroids.
The era "continued" last month; it didn't "end" last month.
Trust me, it will become apparently obvious when the steroid era ends, you won't miss it.
The era not ending, that's a huge problem.
Mountain Landis cleaned up the game after the 1919 World Series with swift and harsh punishment. There's a reason that he didn't make it a 50 game suspension for "throwing games." Can you imagine? He made it a lifetime ban—then the era ended. That's how it works.
So Bud Selig, get your (base)balls out of your pocket and do what needs to be done.
Now I understand that the politics are different today than they were in Landis' day and that you may not have as much power as Landis had, but your job is to protect the integrity of the game.
Are you doing that?

Now say the name of your optical lab. What image comes to mind? More important, what image comes to your customers' minds? If the picture is as compelling as the one for the world's largest beverage company you have succeeded in creating a "brand" that can add real dollars to your bottom line.
In other words, the famous Coke logo would do the company no good if the soft drink were not known as a brand that promised a dependably refreshing experience. Coke has created and communicated a unique story. And that's what makes a profitable brand.
"A brand differentiates you from all the other companies out there that offer the same products and services," says Banks. "Branding is the essence-- the DNA--that makes up your business." And that DNA is of necessity all your own.
So how do you go about engineering a unique DNA? Start by finding out where your lab is currently positioned in the marketplace. While market position can encompass many factors, Banks suggests starting with two that are of proven potency: your price and service reputation.
It's important to get insights on these factors from your customers rather than relying on your preconceptions. That's because the two can be in conflict, and only by understanding and modifying the public perception can you increase sales.
» What brought you to our lab?
» Did you find what you wanted?
» Were our prices as low as you desired?
» Did you receive the service you needed?
» What are the three top things you consider when you shop for a lab?
» How important is price?
» How important is service, and what service in particular?
» If you are shopping for the perfect lab, what is the first lab that comes to mind?
» What is the first lab you would choose to use?
» Why would you choose one lab over another? Price? Service?
You can pursue this same customer-centric research in areas beyond price and service. Some examples are lens selection, quality, and turn-around time. "From your customer surveys you can discover your strengths and weaknesses," says Banks.
Your interviews may show that customers most value selection and price, and feel—rightly or wrongly—that you are excelled in these areas by your competitors. Or maybe they are looking for more engaged or knowledgeable employees, or better service in specific areas. Or perhaps they don't even realize that you already offer those services they most desire.
Whatever the results, you can get a firmer grasp of your market position by tracking them in a visual way. "Start by creating a perceptual map with two parameters," suggests Banks. "Put service on one axis and price on the other. Then use customer feedback to position your operation on each." Banks offers an illustrative example: Walmart would be positioned low on the price axis and not too high on the service axis, since the chain is a self-service operation. Draw up similar perceptual maps for other factors covered in your customer interviews. Then enter your competitors' positions on these same maps.
A visual view of your customer data helps you recognize where your business stands in relation to the competition. "Now is the time to ask: 'Based on the results of our surveys, where does our brand need to go to gain market share?'" says Banks. "Perhaps, for example, you are not perceived to have as high a level of service as other labs. If so, your next step is to ask customers what you need to do to change that perception." Watch especially for insights into where your competitors are falling down. Maybe the ECPs wants a certain service that no one is offering. There's your chance to fill the gap.
With your findings in place, follow your customers' advice: Get your performance up, the word out, and watch the results show up in higher sales. In the process you will be creating a unique lab brand that conjures up in the minds of your customers an image of your lab that is just what your customers ordered—literally. "By creating a story that moves your lab to a better place on the perceptual maps you will build market share," says Banks.
As the preceding comments suggest, creating a brand takes a lot of thought and effort. "Too often retailers (labs) are tempted to throw money at the problem, dreaming up an exciting advertising program that creates more confusion than money for the store (lab)," says Bob Phibbs, a retail consultant based in Coxsackie, NY ( www.retaildoc.com).
Instead, obtain a deep understanding of customer desires and modify your business to meet them, says Phibbs. "Ask 'What do we need to do to build our brand? And how do we communicate the brand to the market?'" The result of your work will be a compelling image that rises up in the minds of consumers when they hear the name of your lab. And that can only mean more sales and greater profits.

For those of you who've not experienced NIGHTMARE's annual haunted houses the last few years here in NYC you're really missing out. Those in the know will tell ya, the productions are top notch, the creatives involved dedicated and intensely passionate, and the whole shebang is usually a scarifying adrenaline rush rarely obtained outside of an encounter with a Lamia (watched Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell last night, hence the reference… Man alive was that neat-0). NIGHTMARE creator Timothy Haskell and his crew work on this show all year long and it shows.
"World War Z" author to write G.I. Joe miniseries.
If nothing else, we should at least get a well-written G.I. Joe something, because I'm pretty sure we won't find anything well-written in the movie. Max Brooks, Mel Brooks's son, will write a G.I. Joe mini series coming from IDW.
Brooks would go on to say this is a dream project for him and that he would go on to write "Different Strokes 2.5." I think the former SNL writer is pulling someone's leg, but quite honestly, "World War Z" was probably the best genre novel in the last couple of years. Not an hour ago, did I convince a friend to pick it up in the underground basement that is the Barnes and Noble of 86th street. The 60 Minutes style of interviewing that takes up the book is a smart approach at the satirical science fiction novel. Especially the "interviews" with the military commanders that fought the Zombie War the book that the book orally dictates. I found them to be quite well written, I can imagine that will follow-through with this miniseries, and get me reading a G.I. Joe book for the first time.

Q: How to select multiple rows into a JSON string variable? I have a REST API created using Oracle Resource Templates and I want to be able to execute a SELECT query using a PL/SQL block. I can return data as string, so I think one solution would be to store the query results as a JSON string and return it.
With an answer to this question, this other question will probably be solved How can one return data from a Pl/SQL block in an Oracle REST API resource template?
Example of what I tried to do; this code doesn't work:
declare
  items JSON_OBJECT_T;
begin
    select JSON_OBJECT(*) BULK COLLECT into items from my_table;
    :items := items;  -- :items will be returned by the API.
    -- I believe I would have to serialize the JSON_OBJECT_T to string somehow.
end;

:items must be assigned a valid JSON string, which must be an array of objects, where each object is a row.
Example of what I must have as answer from the API:
"items": [
    {
      "name": "John",
      "age": "21",
      "sex": "m"
    },
    {
      "name": "Mike",
      "age": "22",
      "sex": "m"
    },
    {
      "name": "Susan",
      "age": "30",
      "sex": "f"
    }
]

A: Here is something you can do in Oracle 12.2. In Oracle 19 it may be a bit simpler, using json_object(*).
Using the standard DEPT table from the SCOTT schema for illustration:
declare
  items  json_object_t;
  result clob;
begin
  select json_object(
           key   'items'
           value json_arrayagg(
                   json_object(
                     key 'deptno' value deptno,
                     key 'dname'  value dname,
                     key 'loc'    value loc
                   )
                 ) format json
         )
  into   result
  from   scott.dept;
  items := json_object_t(result);
-- Check what is stored in items
  dbms_output.put_line('items.stringify = ' || chr(10) || items.stringify);
end;
/

I included a call to the stringify method to show the content of the json_object_t object. ApEx may prefer it in json_object_t data type - if all you need is a string, you don't need to construct that object, since result is already the string you need.
The result looks like this:
items.stringify =
{"items":[{"deptno":10,"dname":"ACCOUNTING","loc":"NEW YORK"},{"deptno":20,"dname":"RESEARCH","loc":"DALLAS"},{"deptno":30,"dname":"SALES","loc":"CHICAGO"},{"deptno":40,"dname":"OPERATIONS","loc":"BOSTON"}]}

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Note that the string is not pretty formatted - and it shouldn't be. That is something one would only do as the last step after receiving it, not from the "transmitting" end.
