THE BENEFITS OF SILK
Silky means the finest
Silk fabrics require special handling as well as great respect. This is not only because they are expensive and difficult to maintain but mostly due to their noble and complex origins.
(The history encompassing the origins and the complexities of silk production passed as secret knowledge is so interesting and vast that it requires a separate blog entry, and the author hereby promises to write it in the near future).
At this point, we should mention that archaeological findings indicate that silk was produced in ancient China as early as 3600 B.C. A Chinese legend says that silk was discovered in the garden of emperor Huang Di by his wife, whom he asked to check what kind of pest is attacking the mulberry trees. The empress found some white larvae which produced shiny cocoons. Accidentally, she dropped one of them in hot water and while attempting to take it out, she pulled a fine thread, which she later wound on a spool. This was the beginning of what was to become the secret of silk production that was improved upon and jealously guarded for thousands of years.
Incredible as this legend may sound, the natural, thin, fine fibre is really produced using the cocoons of silk worms. The average length of a thread produced from a cocoon is 1600 m but the most valuable fabrics are produced from even longer threads that are more difficult to obtain.
Silk fibre is made of protein and has a triangular cross-section, which means it reflects light at different angles. As a result, fabrics made from this fibre are very shiny. Silk has a characteristic fabric structure that is immediately recognisable – we often say that it rustles in your hands. It is light, airy, perfect for being arranged and draped. These features make it a favourite choice among stylists, scenographers as well as those who enjoy and are inspired by the flow of silk fabrics in the most sophisticated and lively interior arrangements.
It is nearly impossible to list all the advantages of silk which are key to its reputation. Silk is light, soft to the touch, shiny and smooth but not slippery. This is why we often say that it is organic and close to the body. Seemingly fragile and delicate, silk is quite robust but can lose up to 20% of its strength when wet. It is not very flexible, either. So when stretched, it does not return to its original length. Silk readily absorbs humidity. A considerable downside of silk fabrics, which at the same time constitutes the source of their charm, is the fact that when exposed to sunlight, they become discoloured and frail. One way to avoid such problems is to add lining to silk curtains, a method that has been used for ages to protect silk against fading caused by sunlight. Additionally, an intermediate layer of molton (a type of scratched cotton) is used, which adds volume to the silk fabric and lets it maintain its decorative shape. The interplay of shadow and light in drapes or curtains provides an incredible decorative effect with flowing, natural silk shining in thousands of shades as no other material does.
The natural tendency of silk to discolour over time, while maintaining its noble shine, guarantees a decorative patina or "aged" scenographic look of silk textiles. This effect is often used in historical interior arrangements.
The many faces of silk
Silk yarn is a high-quality raw material which produces various effects in fabrics of , different types and textures. This makes the world of silk incredibly varied and fascinating. Even the trade names of different silk yarns and threads are incredibly interesting: tram is silk yarn used for weft, organzine is used for warp, greige is raw natural silk, which should not be confused with grenadine which denotes a strongly twisted silk yarn.
INDIAN SILK
In general, depending on the leaves eaten by the silk worm, two different types of silk will be produced – mulberry or wild silk. The length of the thread, its quality, tiny knots connecting sections of the yarn, small pieces of cocoons etc. are features that affect the final character and appearance of the fabric produced from the yarn, and determine its application.
The cheapest, most popular fabric is raw silk, also known as bourette. Today it is frequently used owing to its organic environmentally-friendly appearance. Bourette is the raw form of silk produced from silk noils (i.e. waste yarn) and has visible small imperfections between threads, remains of cocoons and thicker sections of the thread itself. All this gives the fabric a completely natural appearance associated with craft products.
Naturally dyed silk in loose, plain weave and a slightly stiff finish, with highly visible stripes and varying shine is known as shantung. The use of irregular yarn thickness produces characteristic beads or knots. Foulard uses the same plain weave but a more light-weight fabric that is smooth and thin but not transparent. It is very soft and therefore used mostly in ties and scarfs.
When using satin weave with its characteristic longer warp, a very soft, smooth silk fabric known as satin is produced. It has a characteristic shiny front side. A thick twill weave used in silk produces surah – a light-weight, non-transparent, soft fabric with a delicate shine.
The supreme silk fabric is taffeta. It is made using plain weave and has characteristic very dense stripes running across the fabric. It has a beautiful shine, and is rather stiff and rustling. Taffeta is made of two-coloured fibres, which makes it shine in two colours. Silk taffeta can also be creased, embroidered, plain or patterned. Organza is a variety of taffeta. It is characterised by milky transparency and shininess, and comes usually in plain colours.
Regardless of the type of silk: be it flowing, light-weight muslin, crimped matt crêpe or thick but soft tricotine, you should take the time to enjoy the luxurious feeling of handling one of the world's most noble materials. This way you will pay due attention to the qualities that make silk so pleasant to our eyes and bodies. After all, there is a good reason why "the touch of silk" means something that is most noble and utterly pleasant to our senses.
Silk fabrics from the Dekoma collection featured in this photo-session:
Hand-woven natural silk, shantung type, available in many stunning colours. Very elegant and noble, thanks to the two-colour yarn, colours and surface texture of silk is unique. It has poor resistance to sunlight! Natural origin means that there might be differences in colour saturation between different batches of material and on surface of the fabric from one roll.
Yamir is a plain, silk taffeta with spots of slightly fuller yarn. Lining is required. The addition of Molton fabric gives it a special visual appeal. Available in a wide range of 50 colours. It is the most refined silk fabric in Dekoma's offer. Available width – 137 cm. However, it has low resistance to light (typical for silk), so please take that into consideration when designing your decorations. Gentle dry cleaning only.

My name is Dakota (Cody) McCoy, and I am a rising senior at Yale studying animal cognition and the evolution of intelligence. I am so excited to be joining the elite ranks of the Marmoteers this summer at RMBL! With the guidance of Matt "The Mentor" Petelle and Dan "Marmot-Whisperer" Blumstein, I am studying whether a phenotypic correlation exists between the personality traits of aggression and boldness, which would define a behavioral syndrome. Eventually, I would like to determine whether these individual personality traits affect an individual's cognitive style.
So far, the highlight of my time marmoteering has been discovering a highly unexpected connection between marmotology and another interest of mine: Egyptian Hieroglyphics. I am near fluent in Middle Kingdom Hieroglyphics, a skill for which I had never found a practical application… until now!
Symbols? But wherever would I find an extensive set of pictoral symbols? A choir of angels sang in my head; I felt almost dizzy with anticipation. I glanced over at Vanessa "Indefatigable" Alejandro, my good friend and a fellow undergraduate marmoteer, and tried (unsuccessfully) to suppress a broad, gleeful smile. Then I blurted out, "I HAVE AN IDEA," whipped out a blue ballpoint pen with exaggerated flourish, and drew a list of 40 hieroglyphics.
Adriana had to explain to me that eagles and seated pharaohs were, regrettably, slightly too detailed to paint on 4 square inches of fluffy, squirmy, adorable marmot pup. However, we have been able to use several of the simpler hieroglyphics so far, including the symbol I painted on the first pup I caught.
I sat in a field of wildflowers, a pup in one hand and a toothbrush dripping with dark dye in the other, trying to choose an appropriate symbol. The face of Gothic Mountain loomed overhead, a benevolent giant whose snow-spots turned to glistening rainbow in the sun. Mule deer picked their way delicately through the spruce trees, and a hummingbird zoomed up to inspect my bright purple hat, hovering for an eternity of seconds before disappearing with a flash of iridescence.
Suddenly, I knew exactly which symbol to choose.
A few decisive strokes of the toothbrush, and then I carried the newly named marmot back to her burrow and to her mother's watchful care. Shouldering my backpack, I strolled down the slope, listening to the buoyant calls of white-crowned sparrows; the East River sparkled in the distance, merging at the horizon with the cerulean sky.
Read Dan's blog for the Huffington Post about how the study of marmots informs our understanding of why and how music can be emotionally charged.
My neighbor Alison Brody, a biology Professor from the University of Vermont and long-time RMBL researcher, took this photo the other day from her cabin window. The lion was less than 75 m from our cabin!
We've always known that mountain lions were potential marmot predators and in some years we find a deer-killed mountain lion, or a fresh track around Gothic. But we've never seen them. This is the best sighting of a lion in Gothic in recent history!
This is an exceptionally early year! A RMBL neighbor just sent me this photo of a marmot mom moving her rather large pups between burrows. Hopefully, the population will recover a bit more this year (she saw 5-7 pups being moved!).

This site may not look like much, but it's got it where it counts
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: "Cat and Mouse" review
December 25, 2018 December 24, 2018 by Josh
With excitement building over the coming release of a seventh season of The Clone Wars in 2019, we're taking a look back at each episode of the first six seasons – doing so in chronological order. Today, we're looking at the first episode chronologically, the sixteenth episode of season two, titled "Cat and Mouse."
The people of Cristophsis are in desperate need of aid, and Senator Bail Organa is trapped on the surface of the planet along with the people by a Separatist blockade led by Admiral Trench. Anakin Skywalker commands the Republic forces attempting to get through the blockade, but to little success. Obi-Wan Kenobi soon arrives with reinforcements, but calls Skywalker to retreat behind the moon to regroup and see his new weapon. The Republic fleet does so, and Kenobi shows Skywalker a prototype stealthed ship. It hasn't been tested in battle before, but Kenobi wants Skywalker to take the ship and sneak past the blockade to bring relief supplies to Organa and the people. Admiral Yularen, meanwhile, does some research after becoming suspicious during the earlier battle and confirms his fears: it must be Admiral Trench leading the Separatist attack. Yularen had faced Trench years earlier, during the Battle of Malastare Narrows, where Trench supposedly went down with his ship. Yularen knows that Trench is a real threat, so he joins Skywalker and a group of clones on the mission aboard the stealthed ship.
Trench soon grows suspicious of the Republic's delay, so he sends bombers to the planet to attempt to draw the Republic out of hiding. These bombers narrowly miss Skywalker's stealthed ship, and he decides to go on the offensive to get Trench's attention away from the people on the planet. He briefly de-cloaks the ship and fires torpedoes at Trench's flagship, which do no good against the shields but which do attract Trench's attention. Skywalker narrowly avoids a laser barrage with the cloaked ship, telling Trench that it must be a Jedi piloting the ship. Trench sends a communication to Skywalker telling him that he's dealt with a ship like this before. Skywalker again goes on the offensive, and Trench locks onto the ship's magnetic signature before it cloaks again. He then sends tracking torpedoes after them, but in order to do so the flagship's shields are lowered. Skywalker uses this to his advantage, turning the ship straight toward the flagship with the torpedoes in pursuit. Skywalker narrowly avoids a collision, but in doing so he sends the torpedoes right into Trench's flagship, destroying it and (presumably) killing the Admiral. He then proceeds with the mission to carry relief supplies to Organa while Kenobi finishes off the rest of the Separatist forces.
This episode introduces us to Admiral Trench, a Harch hailing from Secundus Ando. A spider-like creature, Trench is a visibly unsettling image – and Skywalker, upon seeing him, says, "Hello, ugly." It's cool that Admiral Yularen has a bit of a rivalry with Trench, given the fact that they faced each other before (where Yularen lost a lot of men). Trench seems to have a reputation as a good military commander, and one who has a way of avoiding certain death. That will come into play again, as this wasn't the last of Trench planned for The Clone Wars.
Really, this episode is a good old fashioned battle between Skywalker and Trench, giving both of them time to shine as commanders of their respective ships and fleets. Skywalker ultimately gets the upper hand, and his stealthed ship actually served as the inspiration for Grand Moff Tarkin's eventual ship, the Carrion Spike.
This episode is almost entirely about ship-to-ship combat, but it's not just a straightforward dogfight. It's packed with drama, too, and the look of the interior of the stelthed ship, as well as the general idea behind it, kind of reminds of a submarine battle – only in space. It's a unique feel to the battle against a new interesting military commander, and these things help make this episode memorable.
My grade: 8.2/10

Q: How to configure Auto mapper in class library project? I am using auto mapping first time.
I am working on c# application and I want to use auto mapper.
(I just want to know how to use it, so I don't have asp.net app neither MVC app.)
I have three class library projects.

I want to write transfer process in the service project.
So I want to know how and where should I configure the Auto Mapper ?

A: Nobody outside of your library has to configure AutoMapper
I recommend that you use the instance based approach using an IMapper. That way no one outside your library has to call any configuration method. You can define a MapperConfiguration and create the mapper from there all inside the class library.
var config = new MapperConfiguration(cfg => {
    cfg.AddProfile<AppProfile>();
    cfg.CreateMap<Source, Dest>();
});

IMapper mapper = config.CreateMapper();
// or
IMapper mapper = new Mapper(config);
var dest = mapper.Map<Source, Dest>(new Source());

A: So based on Bruno's answer here and John Skeet's post about singletons I came up with the following solution to have this run only once and be completely isolated in class library unlike the accepted answer which relies on the consumer of the library to configure the mappings in the parent project:
public static class Mapping
{
    private static readonly Lazy<IMapper> Lazy = new Lazy<IMapper>(() =>
    {
        var config = new MapperConfiguration(cfg => {
            // This line ensures that internal properties are also mapped over.
            cfg.ShouldMapProperty = p => p.GetMethod.IsPublic || p.GetMethod.IsAssembly;
            cfg.AddProfile<MappingProfile>();
        });
        var mapper = config.CreateMapper();
        return mapper;
    });

    public static IMapper Mapper => Lazy.Value;
}

public class MappingProfile : Profile
{
    public MappingProfile()
    {
        CreateMap<Source, Destination>();
        // Additional mappings here...
    }
}

Then in your code where you need to map one object to another you can just do:
var destination = Mapping.Mapper.Map<Destination>(yourSourceInstance);

NOTE: This code is based on AutoMapper 6.2 and it might require some tweaking for older versions of AutoMapper.

A: Marko's answer is correct.
We can also go by a below simple solution.
 public static class ObjectMapper
{
    public static IMapper Mapper
    {
        get
        {
            return AutoMapper.Mapper.Instance;
        }
    }
    static ObjectMapper()
    {
        CreateMap();
    }
    private static void CreateMap()
    {
        AutoMapper.Mapper.Initialize(cfg =>
        {
            cfg.CreateMap<SourceClass, DestinationClass>();
        });
    }
}

And we can use it like.

public class SourceClass
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}
public class DestinationClass
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}
SourceClass c1 = new SourceClass() { Name = "Mr.Ram" };

DestinationClass c2 = ObjectMapper.Mapper.Map<DestinationClass>(c1);

A: You can place the configuration anywhere:
public class AutoMapperConfiguration
{
    public static void Configure()
    {
        Mapper.Initialize(x =>
            {
                x.AddProfile<MyMappings>();
            });
    }
}

 public class MyMappings : Profile
{
    public override string ProfileName
    {
        get { return "MyMappings"; }
    }

    protected override void Configure()
    {
    ......
    }

But it has to be called by the application using the libraries at some point:
void Application_Start()
    {
        AutoMapperConfiguration.Configure();
    }

A: I have used the Patel Vishal's solution and customized it to my needs.
It's a generic class which makes sure only one instance of mapping is saved in memory per object mapping.

*

*TModel - is a DTO object

*TData - is a Database table object in Entity Framework

*DTO.IBaseModel - is a base class for DTO object which has one property: ID

*IBaseModel - is a base class for the entity framework database entity with ID property only

public static class ObjectMapper<TModel, TData>
    where TModel : class, DTO.IBaseModel, new()
    where TData : class, IBaseModel, new()
{
    private static readonly MapperConfiguration _mapperConfiguration;
    public static IMapper Mapper => new Mapper(_mapperConfiguration);

    static ObjectMapper()
    {
        _mapperConfiguration ??= CreateMap();
    }

    private static MapperConfiguration CreateMap()
    {
        return new (cfg =>
        {
            cfg.CreateMap<TData, TModel>();
        });
    }
}

I am using this class in a BaseService<TData, TModel> (Service/Repository pattern) as such:
    public virtual TModel Convert(TData t)
    {
        return ObjectMapper<TModel, TData>.Mapper.Map<TModel>(t);
    }

As you can see, it's a virtual method. Mapping can be overwritten, if customization required by the inheriting Service.

A: I have come across this kind of requirement as well. What I have done in .Net 6.0 is, I create a library project and create the profile class:
public class AutoMapperProfile : Profile
{
    public AutoMapperProfile()
    {
        CreateMap<Entity, Dto>();
        CreateMap<Dto, Entity>();
        ......
    }
}

while in the api or web project, I just create a child class to inherit from the profile above, and register it in startup.cs services.AddAutoMapper(typeof(Startup));.

The End of the Owner-Operator or is it a Political End-Game?
September 24, 2014 /in General News /by Publisher
When the LA Ports "Clean Truck" Concession Agreement scheme was hatched in 2007, everyone involved understood the games and politics that were being played behind the scenes.
Under the moniker of "clean air at all cost", as diesel emissions were claimed back then to cause 18,000 premature deaths annually in California, these incessant health claims were the only way to get public and political support to get rid of all the old junk trucks that worked around the ports. Thus the enviros, made-up of many powerful NGOs, and special interests in-turn paid for all the community activists – their end game was to get all new clean diesel trucks at the port, and eventually require all trucks to run on clean renewable – mainly electric by 2020 or 2025.
It's my understanding that here were approximately 30 major motor carriers at the ports that were convinced to go along with a rather complicated and questionable scheme. They were provided free green grant funding for up to 75% of the cost of a new truck, and they in turn were allowed to lease the "granted" trucks at almost full price back to drivers as independent contractors.
The caveat in this agreement was that within about 5 years the drivers would have to be hired back as employees. Thus, providing these 30 motor carriers with an enormous windfall (at least for 5 years) at the same time satisfying the Teamsters (organized labors) ultimate end-game of eliminating the owner-operator (which are impossible to organize) and creating employee trucking companies which can be organized.
So the port motor carriers went along with the scheme (really having no other choice) knowing that they would legally challenge many parts of the agreement in court, specifically the ones that appeared to violate the FAAAA and of course the employee mandate. The FAAAA is a federal constitutional law that does not allow any state or political subdivision (like a port or a state) to pass a law that effects the "price, routes and services" of a motor carrier. There are certain limited exceptions to this, such as safety and insurance.
Everyone seemed to win and received what they liked or wanted – except for maybe the thousands of unrepresented drivers that became pawns through all of this.
One large construction transportation member who didn't utilize owner-operators once refereed to these truck lease-back agreements as almost "not Christian – to do this to any person." Most others with a conscience agreed.
Well, the 5 years are up and it's time to pay the piper. Along the way there have been many legal twists and turns and what many like us guessed would happen – has!
The Hub Group (Brea CA), a mainly rail intermodal carriers which also services the port is also now the most recent recipient of a California legal action that has moved them to reconsider their leased-purchased owner-operator model. The company recently announced that it will quickly convert 350 former owner-operators into trucking company employees.
Previous to this settlement (in late August), the U.S. Court of Appeals in the 9th Circuit ruled that two separate classes of workers' for FedEx in Oregon and California were also misclassified as independent contractors. Of course FedEx intends to appeal this decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, as it is at the foundation of its business model.
The FedEx decision came a day after the California Supreme Court affirmed a complaint by California's Attorney General (AG) against yet another LA Port based intermodal trucking company (Pac Anchor Transportation with 75 trucks) claiming the company unfairly mis-classified drivers as independent contractors, violating state laws. By doing this, PAC Anchor illegally lowered their costs of doing business by engaging in acts of unfair competition. Further, on appeal, that Court reversed the trial court judgment (which concluded that the FAAAA did preempt the AG's action) and held that "because the states unfair competition action is not related to Pac Anchor's price, route, or service as a motor carrier, the FAAAA does not preempt this action against the state of California."
I was curious as to how many times the AGs office (the state of California) has filed a claim against a private business who was one of many companies to agree to the same scheme called the Concession Agreement, utilizing a state business and professions code section relating to unfair competition from 1977. There's way more to all of this than meets the eye.
So what does all of this mean?
Probably, that the California trucking industry direct or (indirect) leased-purchased owner-operator business model is kaput (German meaning: ruined, done for or finished!).
Hopefully, the construction industry non-leased owner-operator entrepreneurial business model can prevail through all of this. One thing that the intrastate owner-operator model must now over-come is the unfair competition test(s). If that test cannot be overcome, the owner-operator models here are probably doomed. Carriers better take a hard look at what you are doing these days, if you utilize owner-operators. Here is what was and will be analyzed by a court, at least here is what the court looked at in the Pac Anchor case:
The owner of Pac Anchor, "recruits drivers to drive trucks for his independent company. He enters into lease agreements with Pac Anchor in order to utilize the trucks and drivers he supplies. They classify drivers as independent contractors, even though they invest no capital, own no trucks, and do not use their own tools or equipment. The drivers rely instead on defendants to supply those items. Drivers are often employed for extended time periods, but they can be discharged without cause, have no operational control, have no other customers, take all instruction from defendants, and have no Department of Transportation operating authority or permits to engage independently in cargo transport. In addition, the drivers are an integrated part of defendants' trucking business because they perform the core activity of delivering cargo."
Ironically, the many minority owner-operator truckers that were caught-up for five long years in these schemes now associate the term "Clean Truck" with corporate welfare, corruption and abuse, and who can blame them for believing that. Also see Joe's related stories on page 16.

Q: How to deal with answers provided as a comment? I've just browsed this question, that has no "answers", but actually the question is answered in one line as a comment, and the OP acknowledge it answered his question.
Hence, the right thing would be that the comment was actually an answer, and that this answer was accepted. What do you think is the appropriate behaviour if we see this case:

*

*Do nothing?

*Suggest to the answerer (as a follow-up comment) to post it as an actual answer?

*Answer the question ourself, possibly detailing a little more, giving credits to the actual answerer?

*Other?

I first guessed that 2. was an obviously correct behaviour, but then I realized that if the answerer didn't do it in the first place, it is probably because he didn't want to spend time on writing a nice answer (and dislike the idea of a one-line answer). Hence I don't see why he would be inclined to so afterward, and I guess would be more annoyed than anything else.
Any thoughts?

A: I recently came across a similar sitution but the OP and supplier of the comment hadn't been seen for months.  I added the question as a community wiki, as suggested by someone here on meta, though I can't find that post atm :-/ .
I clearly marked why I had added the answer, and gave the commenter the credit. The answer is where everyone expects to find it, so it and the question are more useful.  Also, I sleep easy as I don't profit from any votes off of somebody else's work.

 Actually, full disclosure, I did eventually earn the Revival badge from this one, but I put that down to karma  =)

A: You missed "Flag it" as one of the options!
Pseudo-answers in comments are actively harmful. They evade the review system, edits, and downvotes. They are always listed above the top voted and accepted answers.
The degree to which they are tolerated depends on the culture of the particular StackExchange.
By all means ask someone to use the answer box, but don't be afraid to flag them either.

A: I typically do #2.  If the person helps you out, there's no reason they shouldn't get the points for it.  I've never had someone tell me they'd rather not get the rep instead of copying and pasting their comment into an answer box.
I've seen others also request the answerer posts their comment as an answer as well.

A: Just do these things in sequence

*

*Do nothing - For a while (you be the judge of how much is a decent while).

*Suggest the commenter answer - When you notice the question after a while has already passed.

*Answer yourself once another while has passed since you suggested the commenter answer. With credit and everything.

I wouldn't mark the post "community wiki", as I don't think, after reading this post, that it fits the bill. But maybe I'm wrong on this point.

Iran sets Dec. 10 court date for jailed Iranian-British aid worker
LONDON - Iran has told jailed Iranian-British aid worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe that she will appear in court next month accused of spreading propaganda, her husband, Richard, said on Thursday.
"She's been told she will appear in court on Decenber 10," he told Reuters. He said that he understood she would appear in court, charged with spreading propaganda.
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a project manager with the Thomson Reuters Foundation, was sentenced to five years after being convicted by an Iranian court of plotting to overthrow the clerical establishment. She denies the charges.
Zaghari-Ratcliffe's fate become a major political issue in Britain after Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson made remarks on November 1 that appeared to cast doubt on statements from her employer about what she had been doing in Iran.


Bright white ball of light appeared in sky then shot toward ground, SSW direction.
I was outside on my front porch smoking. A bright star that looked to be changing color from white to red caught my eye.
As I lifted my eyes to look directly at it, a bright white ball of light came out of nowhere and shot down toward toward the ground. It didn't go straight down, rather it kind of arched down.
Then before it could hit the ground, or at least right before I'd have lost view of it due to houses, the light just shut off.
I got scared and ran into the house. So I don't know if it reappeared or not. I'm writing this report just minutes after this happened.
I went straight to the Internet to see if anyone else reported seeing this and to see what a meteor falling looks like. This was not a meteor. I found this website while looking up "bright white light falling from sky" and added my area in the search field.
Thank you for this website, I'm grateful I'm able to talk about this to someone without feeling or being called crazy.

Ontarians all have the right to a decent standard of living, new union Unifor says (RE: Ontario Progressive Conservative Convention) Français
Unifor the union
TORONTO & LONDON, ON, Sept. 20, 2013 /CNW/ - All Ontarians have the right to earn a fair wage, work in a safe environment and maintain a decent standard of living, core values that the Ontario's Conservative Party will consider dismantling at their policy convention taking place this weekend, said Unifor President Jerry Dias.
The Ontario Progressive Conservative policy convention that begins today in London, Ontario includes a raft of aggressive anti-worker policy proposals that could form the basis of the party's platform heading into the next election. This includes a proposal to outlaw the Rand Formula (a model of automatic union dues check-off for all workers covered by the benefits of a collective agreement).
Ontario's largest private sector union is calling on Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak to abandon this proposal, in favour of policies aimed at improving wages, workplace benefits and working with union to raise the standard of living for all Ontarians.
"The PC White Paper on labour law amounts to an aggressive attack against unions, and will undermine workers' ability to negotiate decent collective agreements - on equal footing - with their employers," said Jerry Dias, National President of Unifor.
"More dangerously, it will spark a whole new chapter of labour-management confrontation, which is the last thing Ontario needs today." Dias urged delegates to the policy conference to reject the proposal.
Dias pointed out that Mr. Hudak recently dropped MPP Randy Hillier, a key author of the June 2012 White Paper which first proposed outlawing the Rand Formula, from his shadow cabinet. "Mr. Hudak has recognized that Mr. Hillier is a liability to his party's pre-election preparations. Now he should acknowledge that Mr. Hillier's divisive policies are an even greater liability."
"No union exists without the majority support of the members in that bargaining unit. The Rand Formula reflects the fundamental principle of majority-rules, pure and simple," said Unifor Ontario Regional Director Katha Fortier.
Fortier pointed to recent investment announcements by Ford Motor Co. in Oakville, and General Motors in Ingersoll, as proof that free collective bargaining is compatible with modern, competitive industrial facilities.
"Yes, we have disagreements with employers. But an effective, modern collective bargaining system is the best way to work through those differences, and reach compromises that work for both sides," Dias said.
Unifor, Canada's largest union in the private sector, formed this past Labour Day weekend with the joining together of the Canadian Auto Workers union and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union.
The Rand Formula is a standard feature of collective agreements across Canada, pioneered by Supreme Court Justice Ivan Rand in a landmark 1946 arbitration that settled a long strike by autoworkers in Windsor. Under the Rand Formula, any workers covered by the terms of a collective agreement must pay dues (even if they choose not to join the union), since they benefit from the protections of that agreement. Justice Rand developed the system to prevent "free riders": individuals who would gladly accept the wages and benefits of a union contract, but not contribute anything to the maintenance of that contract.
Before the Rand Formula is implemented in an Ontario workplace, it must be approved twice by the affected workers: first when they indicate their majority support for the creation of a bargaining unit and then when they ratify (again by majority vote) any collective agreement containing the Rand Formula or similar provisions.

Walking Dead Season 3 Trailer Is Live...Err, Undead?
The Walking Dead returns to AMC on October 14. The Walking Dead returns to AMC on October 14!
Yep, we had to say it twice because that's how excited we are. There are not many shows that I get into as much as this one, and this season is shaping up to be the best one yet. The prison? Check. The samurai? Check. The return of past characters? Well, you'll have to watch the trailer below for that. It was released first at this years Comic-Con and now the rest of us can see it too.
It's a long wait until Season 3 premieres on October 14, so in the meantime why don't you check out Christopher Walken in The Walken Dead when you're done with the trailer.
Oh, and make sure you brush up on your zombie survival maps.

Q: Segmentation fault with array of strings C I have made a program that breaks a string into tokens separated by space and then copies each separate string into an array of strings.
Program works fine until it reaches for-loop and after successfully adding the first string into the array and printing it, program crashes. I debugged it and found that
args[i] = malloc((strlen(comm_str) + 1) * sizeof(char));

returns SEGFAULT then performing loop for the second time. Also call stack prints out the following:

Address: 75F943F9, Function: strlen(), File: C:\Windows\syswow64\msvcrt.dll.`

I tried to correct program myself, but with no result. I thought at first that loop tries to access out of bound region, but I think I have malloc'd everything correctly.
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(){

    char **args = NULL;
    char input[] = "cmdline -s 20 -r -t parameter -p 20 filename";

    int num = 0;
    char *comm_str = strtok(input, " ");                            /*Tokens command line*/

    while(comm_str != NULL){                                        /*Counts number of tokens*/
        num++;
        printf("%s %d\n", comm_str, strlen(comm_str));
        comm_str = strtok(NULL, " ");
    }
    printf("\n");

    args = malloc(num * sizeof(char*));                          /*Allocates memory for the first string entry*/
    if(!args){
        return 0;
    }

    comm_str = strtok(input, " ");                                  /*Starts tokening from beginning*/
    for(int i = 0; i < num; i++){
        args[i] = malloc((strlen(comm_str) + 1) * sizeof(char));    /*Allocates memory for strings*/
        if(!args[i]){
            for(int b = 0; b < i; b++){
                free(args[b]);
            }
            free(args);
            return 0;
        }
        strcpy(args[i], comm_str);
        printf("%s\n", args[i]);
        comm_str = strtok(NULL, " ");
    }

    printf("%d\n", num);

}

A: strtok is, as you know, altering the string.
After calculating the number of words, the string will contain a single word. Hence the next strtok will return NULL.
Calculate the number of arguments in a non-destructive way, or make a copy of the string.

A: According to the man pages for strtok:
"Be cautious when using these functions. If you do use them, note that:
These functions modify their first argument.
These functions cannot be used on constant strings."
So, the first time you parse to find num, you modify your input string, and as such the second time you parse garbage, which causes the SEGFAULT. Also, you shouldn't use the constant string    :
char input[] = "cmdline -s 20 -r -t parameter -p 20 filename";

A: The first problem is that you have not included the relevant function prototypes. This will make it assume everything is an integer. See below:
$ gcc -Wall x.c -o x
x.c: In function 'main':
x.c:9:5: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strtok' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

x.c:35:18: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast [enabled by default]
x.c:40:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type]

I suggest you fix that before proceeding.

A: strtok replaces each ' ' with a NULL in your case.  Consider the following:
char input[] = "cmdline -s 20 -r -t parameter -p 20 filename";
size_t inputSize = strlen(input);

for(int i = 0; i < inputSize; i++)
    printf("%02X ", input[i]);
printf("\n\n");

char *comm_str = strtok(input, " ");
while(comm_str != NULL)
    comm_str = strtok(NULL, " ");

for(int i = 0; i < inputSize; i++)
    printf("%02X ", input[i]);
printf("\n\n");

Output:

63 6D 64 6C 69 6E 65 20 2D 73 20 32 30 20 2D 72 20 2D 74 20 70 61 72 61 6D 65 74 65 72 20 2D 70 20 32 30 20 66 69 6C 65 6E 61 6D 65

Here is the 2008-09 version. I have been asked to depict Holland at the turn of the century. The farming community of this type used to grow their produce on individually owned islands. Each farmer would then boat his animals and produce to market. The market was a floating building that buyers would bid on the produce that floated through on the boats.


Clayvin Herrera poses for a picture on the plaza of the Supreme Court, Tuesday, Jan. 8, 2019, in Washington.
In 2014, a Wyoming court fined Crow Tribe member Clayvin Herrera for hunting an elk out of season on public lands.
Herrera pushed back saying a federal treaty protects his right to hunt off the reservation. But Wyoming countered that treaty was signed before it joined the union so it doesn't count.
"Over and over and over again the Supreme Court has actually come to the exact opposite conclusion," Dylan Heddon-Nicely, director of University of Idaho's Native American Law Program, says.
But he says Wyoming is relying on an earlier SCOTUS ruling in the late 1800s that sided with the state in a similar case involving an Idaho Chief named Racehorse with the region's Shoshone-Bannock tribe.
Racehorse's great-great-grandson, Gaylen Edmo, says the outcome of the case means a lot to him personally.
"I think it's important as a tribe to constantly do what we can to have our aboriginal rights recognized – not only our aboriginal territories, but our practices that we had in those areas," Edmo says.
The 24-year-old student says part of why he's working to earn a law degree is because he grew up hearing about his relative who got caught up in this case. Edmo hunts and fishes off of tribal lands in Idaho, but he says it would mean a lot to him to be able to do so again in Western Wyoming.
"We'd go up there and we'd harvest elk and different big game animals like we have since time in memorial and, in essence, [the Racehorse decision] harmed our treaty rights."
A ruling is expected this spring.
Recently, a Montana hunter legally shot a well-known Yellowstone wolf from the Lamar Canyon Pack after she wandered a few miles outside the park into a hunting zone. The incident raises questions about the best way to manage park wolves that become habituated to people.

Q: Finding contours after drawing them I used a random image from internet containing 4 circles.  [But, the opencv segmentation code detects 307 contours. However, I want to detect only 4 circles. So I tried to blur the image to remove noise. But, still no help.
Then I used the following code.
Mat ContourOutline = Mat::zeros(cannyEdges.size(), CV_8UC3);
    for (int i = 0; i < contours.size(); i++)
    {
        cout << "Area of contour " << i << "=" << contourArea(contours[i])<<"\n";
        Scalar color = Scalar(0,0,255);
        drawContours(ContourOutline, contours, i, color, 2, 8, hierarchy, 0, Point());
    }

This produced a perfect image.![drawn 4 circles][3] Now, I want run the find contours code on this image. But, Visual Studio throws an unhandled exception. What should I do to detect the four circles?

A: You create ContourOutline as a CV_8UC3 element matrix, which (probably) means to be a BGR color image, but findContours uses binary images of type CV_8UC1 as input.
Try this code:
Mat ContourOutline = Mat::zeros(cannyEdges.size(), CV_8UC1);
for (int i = 0; i < contours.size(); i++)
{
    cout << "Area of contour " << i << "=" << contourArea(contours[i])<<"\n";
    Scalar color = Scalar(255);
    drawContours(ContourOutline, contours, i, color, 2, 8, hierarchy, 0, Point());

Next Generation Social Sciences in Africa: Post-Doctoral Writing Fellowship 2021, Africa
frican Peacebuilding Network (APN) Individual Research Fellowships 2021
Why Choose Peace Studies?
Aspired to learn techniques of negotiation and mediation, advance in international humanitarian assistance and conflict transformation? Then an academic program on peace studies is the right educational path for you.
Peace building starts, when the conflict comes to its end and the country enters a transition phase. Establishment of peace is a comprehensive process, which includes short term and long term efforts of responding to crisis consequences and rehabilitation, building trust and understanding between various communities, state and population, as well as institutional capacity building, economic and political advancement. The ultimate goal of peace building is introduction of measures aimed at ensuring human security and prevention of violence, as well as other conflicts.
Undergraduate and Graduate Programs on Peace Studies
What it takes to build sustainable peace or build the capacities of various stakeholders in transitional states? These are the main issues to be analyzed and studied at graduate programs on peace studies. While undergraduate programs on peace studies will provide students with more general knowledge on international relations and international law, psychology, leadership and conflict resolution, the graduate program will give a more specific and deeper insight to diplomacy, non-violent means of conflict transformation, social adaptation, economics in transition and societal transformation. The PhD program on peace studies is a vivid opportunity to go deeper into research and analysis of reasons and origins of conflict, transformation of society, impact of religion and many other factors.
Degree level programs on peacebuilding are multidisciplinary and include a range of other disciplines, that bring even more interest to the programs: gender, national security, international development, child protection.
What Are the Career Options for Graduates of Peace Studies Programs?
The broader is the concept of peace building, the more options graduates of these programs can expect. The career options vary from negotiators to governmental officers, development aid workers and human rights activists, peace educators and lawyers.
How Can ARMACAD help?

Please would you be able to confirm which one is correct over the other form?
A user or An user?
A user is correct. "User" starts with the consonant sound "y", not with a vowel sound, even though it is spelled with a vowel as the first letter.
An is usually used for vowel sounds, but since user is pronounced with a "y" sound at the beginning, it sounds weird to say an user.
an is used before a word which commences with a vowel sound.
The first sound in the the word user is a consonant.
Similarly, a uniform, a eulogy.
So, it's all to do with sounds?
I'm not sure if it is grammatically incorrect. I have never heard the term "an user" being used, and I can't remember ever reading it.
Sr for digging this up, but does it apply for "yellow"?
Whether a word beginning with y is preceded by a or an depends upon whether the y is used as a consonant or a vowel.

About Us – Airport La Romana, Casa de Campo
La Romana International Airport, Casa de Campo, is strategically located in the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic, servicing the fastest growing provinces for business and leisure of the country. La Romana International Airport, Casa de Campo, serves as the gateway to the most acclaimed tourist destinations of the nation. The airport has road access, within two hours, to all major tourist destinations of "The East", La Romana, Casa de Campo, Bayahibe, Dominicus, Punta Cana, Bavaro, Uvero Alto, Macao, Juan Dolio, Boca Chica and Santo Domingo, among others.
During summer of 1998, Central Romana Corporation, Ltd., began the construction of La Romana International Airport Casa de Campo. The company, through its subsidiary, Airport Management Services, Ltd., inaugurated the airport on December 14th, 2000, at an approximate cost of over 100 million Dollars. The new international airport is a tropical modern airport, reminiscent of a sugarcane mill, the principal agro industrial product manufactured on the eastern planes of the Dominican Republic.
Central Romana Corporation, Ltd., and its subsidiaries were one of the pioneers of the development of tourism in the Dominican Republic.
It all started with the construction and operation of the famous tourist complex Casa de Campo, located in the city of La Romana, which has modern golf courses, beaches, marine activities, tennis, equestrian sports, shooting facilities, shops, restaurants and many other features. It also owns Hotel Santo Domingo, operating in the city of Santo Domingo, along with other all-inclusive facilities located in the eastern region of the country.
Since the early 1970´s, the company owned and operated a small airport (LRM) located within the limits of Hotel Casa de Campo, in La Romana. The airport was used almost exclusively by American Airlines, American Eagle and for non-commercial private operations. Arrivals and departures of Hotel Casa de Campo's airport exceeded the capacity of its design, not only because of the expansion derived from the integration of the company's airport and its tourism infrastructure, but the considerable investment from local and foreign Hotel operators in facilities along the southeastern part of the country.

About Us – The new La Romana International Airport Casa de Campo consists of a runway and two operational ramps. The main one, dedicated to commercial aircraft operations, has the capacity to cater six wide body aircraft operations at once; the second, is used exclusively for domestic and international general aviation aircraft. Airport operation services are available 24/7, with the ability to provide weather information, fuel, passenger handling, catering services as well as a full scale fire; rescue team. Three terminal buildings are used to host the Airport's passengers and the needs of airliners' crews; a large commercial terminal, an international general aviation terminal, which operate completely separate from each other.


Learning to sail from scratch on a big yacht at sea can be intimidating for some.
That is the reason why we have partnered with Boats2sail, a sailing school based in Rust by the Neusiedler lake. It is run by passionate and professional sailors with a long list of successes in Austrian and International dinghy competitions.
Boats2sail offers the opportunity to start sailing onboard smaller yachts, easier to manage and operate.
This allows our students to get accustomed more gradually to sailing, enjoying the learning experience even more.
Not by chance the school's motto reads 'Segeln ohne Sorgen' = Sailing without worries!
Whether you are looking to obtain the 'Binnen A license' or you want to step up for a gennaker handling course, Boats2sail has the right course for you!
- You can decide to spend a fun weekend on the Neusiedler lake onboard a Sprinto or a Sunbeam 22 before making the step to go at sea.
- Or you may have already been at sea on a big yacht before, and you would like to refresh your skills ahead of taking a course for the Skipper licence yourself.
Talk to us and we will give you our professional advice on the most suitable path for you.
If instead you already know how to sail and you would like to step up your skills, Boats2sail academy has a wide range of specialised courses: feel the thrill of reaching under Gennaker, learn how to best trim your sails or discover the secrets of regatta tactics.

Message from the Director | Orthopedic Surgery Residency
R. Frank Henn, III
Assistant Professor of Orthopaedics
Orthopaedic Residency Director
Thank you for your interest in the Orthopaedic Surgery Residency at the University of Maryland. The mission of our program is to provide our residents with the highest quality educational experience in a diverse academic community while promoting outstanding patient care and supporting the pursuit of new scientific knowledge to improve the clinical outcomes of our treatment of musculoskeletal disease.
We in the Department of Orthopaedics believe that excellence in patient care is of the utmost importance and is inseparable from the resident educational experience. With our full-time academic faculty and numerous volunteer faculty, our program provides the residents with exposure to the full scope of orthopaedic disease, mixing both apprenticeship and service-based rotations to maximize the resident experience. Each rotation has a service-specific educational conference in addition to weekly Departmental conferences and a didactic curriculum that runs weekly in a 2-year cycle. Residents are relieved from non-emergent patient care each week during the didactic sessions. The Department has an active research program in both basic science and clinical research. An intra-departmental grant funding program is in place to assist residents in completing research, and the Department supports residents for presentations at national meetings.
Our residents graduate having experienced the breadth and depth of orthopaedics and are accepted into top fellowship programs throughout the country.

Pruis Rule of Law Lecture
This event has passed. ×
6:00 PM–7:30 PM
The Pruis Rule of Law Lecture series has been sponsored by the Henry Institute at Calvin since 2010, and features speakers who are researching issues related to the rule of law or who have personally experienced issues surrounding the development of the rule of law in countries around the globe.
The 2018/19 Pruis Rule of Law Lecture will feature Patrick Deneen, author of the current bestselling book on democracy, law and Christian faith entitled Why Liberalism Failed, speaking on Liberalism is Not Free: The Myth of Religious Liberty. According to Deneen, Christians are apt today to invoke "religious liberty" as a defense against an increasingly hostile secular state and academy. The appeal to these liberties assert the centrality of religion as a founding right in the liberal order. He believes this appeal is understandable in the current context, but may be ultimately misguided,since the liberal order arose not to protect such freedoms, but ultimately to control the churches.
Deneen holds a B.A. in English literature and a Ph.D. in Political Science from Rutgers University. Serving as a Professor of Political Science at Notre Dame since 2012, where he holds the David A. Potenziani Memorial College Chair of Constitutional Studies, Deneen previously worked as Speechwriter and Special Advisor to the Director of the United States Information Agency, was an Assistant Professor of Government at Princeton University, and held the Tsakopoulos-Kounalakis Associate Professor of Government post at Georgetown University.
Deneen's teaching and writing interests focus on the history of political thought, American political thought, religion and politics, and literature and politics. His current work focuses on the growing conflict between, and potential new alignments arising out of, a globalist meritocratic elite and populist nationalists and his published books include:
Why Liberalism Failed (Yale University Press, 2018)
Conserving America? Thoughts on Present Discontents (St. Augustine Press, 2016)

Now it's 2000 YEARS since JESUS' Birthday.
Everyone is talking about the Millennium - the year 2000. But did you know that the year 2000, means that it is 2000 years since JESUS' birthday? Yes, it is true! How wonderful! Well, we are going to learn, now, about the LORD JESUS being BORN. Our title is, "A KING IS BORN," because the LORD JESUS is our KING!
The story begins many months before JESUS was born, when some wise men, living in the East, noticed a new STAR in the sky, over their country. They were clever men, used to studying the stars at night, but they had never seen this one before. It was large and bright, and it was moving! "God is telling us that a new KING is to be born," they said. "Let us get ready to go on a journey to see this new King!"
Hey children, isn't it GREAT that these wise men wanted to see JESUS? They were happy to go on a long journey to look for JESUS. BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO GO ON A LONG JOURNEY TO FIND JESUS, DO WE? Of course not, because He is right here with us, by His Spirit. Isn't it exciting?
If you have ever gone away on holiday, you will know that you have to pack your case and take along your clothes and other things you will need. Well, the wise men had a lot of packing to do, because they would be away for many months, looking for KING JESUS. They would have to get their camels and donkeys ready too. Also, they would be thinking about what they could take JESUS, as a present. What do you give a KING? They were WISE to go to JESUS. We can be WISE too and go to JESUS in prayer. We can tell Him we are SORRY for our SINS. We can ASK Him to FORGIVE us. We can THANK Him for dying on the CROSS for us. We can INVITE Him into our Hearts.
"Dear Lord Jesus, help me to be WISE today and go to YOU. I am SORRY for my SINS. Please FORGIVE me. THANK YOU for dying for me on the CROSS. Please COME into my HEART and LIVE in me for ever. Amen."

HomeMusic NewsDesert Island Discs: 75 defining moments from 75 years of castaways – what would your Desert Island Disc be?
Desert Island Discs: 75 defining moments from 75 years of castaways – what would your Desert Island Disc be?
January 20, 2017 Cathryn Draper Music News 0
From the Guardian
The show's first guest was marooned three quarters of a century ago this month. Here are the moments that made Desert Island Discs a radio classic
1. The first castaway – marooned on 29 January 1942 – was Vic Oliver, a music-hall star in the 1930s. He was the perfect first interviewee for presenter Roy Plomley, the Wodehousian wannabe actor who devised the show. The first guest was supposed to be the philosopher CEM Joad, but he was indisposed. Who knows how broadcasting history would have turned out if Joad had made it to the recording.
2. The second castaway, on 5 February 1942, was the critic James Agate. Incestuously, one of his musical choices was Eric Coates's By the Sleepy Lagoon, the programme's theme music (which was inspired not by a tropical island, but by Bognor Regis). Agate was gay, but Plomley would never have dreamed of discussing such subjects – either in 1942 or 40 years later, when he was still presenting the show.
3. Comedian Arthur Askey, clearly a favourite of Plomley's, made the first of his record four appearances on 2 April 1942 – the others came in 1955, 1968 and 1980, two years before his death. He shares the record – and maybe the records – with David Attenborough.
4. Bizarrely, Roy Plomley himself was one of the earliest subjects – perhaps CEM Joad had again failed to show. Plomley was interviewed by the BBC's head of music Leslie Perowne in May 1942, and chose lots of Borodin. (Plomley made another appearance as castaway in May 1958, on this occasion interviewed by Eamonn Andrews.) The key thing to remember about these early episodes were they were music shows, with very little probing of the castaway's life. It became a little more searching later under Plomley, and his successors – Michael Parkinson, Sue Lawley and Kirsty Young – then brought greater journalistic nous to it.

5. The problem with the early Desert Island Discs is that the programmes weren't kept, and very few early episodes are available. One of the many missing interviews is with the great film director Michael Powell, who was cast away on 24 October 1942. Powell appeared again, alongside his film-making partnerEmeric Pressburger, in September 1980.
6. On 20 October 1945, CEM Joad finally made it on to the island. His musical tastes were singularly canonical – Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert. Plomley had always advocated a wide range of guests – "dance-band leaders, actors, members of the Brains Trust, film stars, writers, child prodigies, ballet dancers and all sorts of people could be included," he wrote in his initial submission to the BBC – but Vic Oliver and Arthur Askey were probably more fun.
7. The programme was dropped as part of a postwar shakeup at the BBC in 1946, but was revived in 1951 and has been going strong ever since. The first guest in the new run – on 3 January 1951 – was actor Eric Portman.
My Desert Island Disc would be the Sex Pistols 'God Save The Queen' – just 'cos….what would yours be?

As mentioned else where. He should have asked the judge for his gun back before leaving the courtroom.
Could be he'll need it1

Is he old enough now to have a pistol in his possession, custody or control? I remember something about adults having to be 21 before they can purchase or carry a firearm. That three-year period from 18 to 21 is of no concern to the anti-liberty and anti-human scum who think the Rittenhouse case was a miscarriage of justice.
Fyooz on November 21, 2021 at 11:55 am said:
I seem to remember that ATF themselves have said that, Federally, people 18 but not yet 21 years of age can own handguns.
They just can't buy them from a Federally-licensed dealer. "Buy or transfer one from a family member, or inherit one, just fine. You have other ways to get a handgun, just not through an FFL." It was in a court case.
Apologies in advance if I'm proved wrong, but apparently I'm not: https://www.atf.gov/questions-and-answers/qa/may-individual-between-ages-18-and-21-years-age-acquire-handgun-unlicensed
State laws will vary.
Oh and there's this: https://www.firearmsnews.com/editorial/18-year-olds-can-buy-handguns/394408
which was mooted, iirc, because the plaintiffs reached the age of 21 before the case could be appealed.
Fyooz on November 21, 2021 at 12:02 pm said:
Federally, he can own, he just can't buy one from a licensed dealer until 21. ATF so argued in court, saying other means to buy or receive a handgun are available so the FFL prohibition is not an impairment of 2A rights of 18-to-20-year-olds.
Hirschfeld sued to get the right recognized to buy through an FFL before age 21, that case was mooted when Hirschfeld reached that age.

And it's National Buy Ammo Day!
He's truly lucky he missed the black, jump kick man. Twice. That would have given the commies what they really wanted.
P.S. Joe, maybe Kyle will give you a ride on his new yacht for all your support? You sure deserve it!

A defensive victory is a victory and celebration is in order. But defense doesn't win wars and we need to strike back against anti self defense media and politicians. I was glad to see Nick Sandmann show up to support Kyle. But there is much more to be done.

Q: Understanding Spring Data interfaces I'm a little confused with some basic Spring Data concepts.
As I know, typical DAO level structure looks like this:
   - dao
     - MyFirstObjectDao
     - MySecondObjectDao
     - jpa
        - MyFirstObjectDaoImpl
     - jdbc
        - MySecondObjectDaoImpl

With this concept, I can use JPA as implementation for my first DAO interface, and JDBC - for the second one.
Now i want to understand Spring Repository abstraction. Every Spring Data tutorial specifies, that I should have an interface, which should extends from JpaRepository, for example. So having this interface, i've already locked with JPA, right?
What if i want to provide different implementations, like jpa/jdbc in DAO?

A: There's normally not a very good reason to want to mix JPA and JDBC persistence for the same objects; if you're already annotating everything as JPA entities, you might as well use the same persistence setup everywhere. You ought to rethink why you're wanting to do this.
That said, you could potentially do this if you really needed to:
interface FooBaseRepository extends PagingAndSortingRepository<Long, Foo> {}
interface FooJpaRepository extends FooBaseRepository, JpaRepository<Long, Foo> {}
interface FooJdbcRepository extends FooBaseRepository, JdbcRepository<Long, Foo> {}

@Autowired FooBaseRepository surpriseRepository

Update: If you're just talking about having different persistence strategies for different classes (that don't have relationships), there's nothing particularly complicated. You could mix Jpa and Jdbc repositories; they're just interfaces.

Those Howden Africa shareholders who refuse its R44 per share offer to buy itself off the JSE can remain shareholders in the unlisted company, the investment holding company said in a statement on Wednesday morning.
At a shareholder meeting on December 12, a group of minority shareholders representing 15.86% of the votes cast said no to Howden's offer.
Dissenting shareholders include Standard Bank Nominees, JR Nominees, and Invesco Canadian Small Companies Fund.
Howden said that since more than half of minority shareholders accepted its offer, it will proceed with its exit from the JSE on February 26, paying those shareholders who accepted their R44 per share. It does not, however, have sufficient support from minority investors to force the dissenting shareholders to sell.
"Eligible shareholders who do not accept the general offer will remain shareholders in the unlisted company, with the tradeability of their Howden Africa shares being limited," Wednesday's statement said.
In terms of the Competition Act, Howden has 10 business days to challenge the dissenting shareholders in court, or treat the scheme resolution as a nullity.
Given the potential protracted nature of an opposed court application and the resultant time delays in making payment to shareholders, Howden said its board had resolved "to treat the scheme resolution as a nullity and proceed with the general offer".
Three small-cap firms want to leave the JSE, but at what price to their shareholders?

WHAT I WOULD TELL MY YOUNGER SELF ABOUT SEX
by ANABELLE BERNARD FOURNIER
I'm not sure there's any "conventional" wisdom about turning 30 anymore. I'm barely out of school and only starting to build a career. I've been in a long-term relationship for the past six years, but I'm still unsure about where it's headed.
They say 30 is the new 20, but to be honest I don't feel the same as I did 10 years ago, either physically or mentally. My body has changed, and so has my knowledge, my opinions and my beliefs ... especially about sex. I am, I think, a little bit wiser and a little bit smarter when it comes to intimate relationships, even though I don't think I know - or will ever know - everything. But I've lost a lot of the illusions that I held as a younger woman entering the world of dating and sex.
If I were to visit myself 10 or 12 years ago, I'd start by telling myself that complicity changes a lot. Sex with random strangers might be OK from time to time, but I've realized that complicity and chemistry with a partner - romantic or casual - makes for much better sex ... and less awkwardness in the morning. There's nothing wrong with having sex without a romantic commitment, but I think it's worth actually liking the guy, at least a little bit. My most memorable encounters have been with people with whom I shared some complicity, even if only for a single night. (Read another perspective on casual sex in The Ethics of the Modern Day Booty Call.)
I would also tell myself that there's no shame in liking what you like in bed. Society, family, culture might want to make you feel "abnormal" for enjoying sex in different ways, but there is absolutely no reason to feel ashamed. As long as everything is safe and consensual, what's to stop you from experimenting with your desires? If a partner isn't up for it, then you two just aren't that compatible. But when you find the right partner, don't be afraid to dive right in to those thoughts and fantasies you've had for years. You might learn a thing or two about yourself in the process. (Read more about this in Why Get Kinky?)
This one will seem a little obvious, but I've learned that your sexual satisfaction is in your own hands. This is more than simply knowing how to get off on your own (although that's pretty important, especially during dry spells!) Nobody but yourself is responsible for being sexually satisfied. No, not even your long-term, committed partner. It's important to assert yourself in bed, say what you like and dislike, and ask for what you want. If you don't speak up, nobody will do it for you. If you're not ashamed of who you are and what you enjoy in bed, you shouldn't have any trouble telling your partners what you want. (Get some tips on how to do this in Talk Dirty to Me: The Why and How of Hot Aural Sex.)
When you're 20, you think that you're invincible and that rules and advice don't apply to you. But don't be stupid with your health: use protection. Forget about "just this once!" and "it won't happen to me!" It could. And it could affect your health and sex life forever after. A quickie in a bar bathroom isn't worth all of that. Use a condom.
But I think the most important lesson I've learned is that sex isn't love. After a difficult time in high school, I took male attention - mostly sexual attention - as a sign of worth. I didn't fall in love with every partner I had, but I often confused love and lust. As I said earlier, there's nothing wrong with having sex with random partners, but don't mistake sexual attention for emotional commitment. I've too often tried to fill my need for love and companionship with fleeting sexual relationships, only to leave myself emptier and lonelier than before - and even more vulnerable to be used this way again. Only love is love. Sexuality can be an expression of love and intimacy, but it doesn't (and shouldn't) replace love itself. Save yourself a lot of heartache and learn the difference.
Even though I'm turning 30 soon, I don't think I'm done learning things about sex. After all, I'm only 10 years into my education! I could have saved myself some heartache had I known these things before... but then, perhaps living through your 20s is how you're supposed to learn them.

Liberator Fascinator Throw


Manchester United visit Juventus on Wednesday aiming to boost their hopes of qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League.
Juve's 1-0 victory at Old Trafford at the end of October maintained their 100% record at the top of Group H.
United are second in the standings with four points, two ahead of Valencia with three games to play.
The Premier League club host Young Boys in their fifth game in the group, before heading to Spain to face Valencia in their final match.
A positive result against Juve would send United into their final two matches in a confident mood, but a defeat would set up a nervy end to the group stage.
Juventus are priced at 8/13 to win the game, with United on offer at 11/2 and the draw available at 14/5.
