Niger Delta Avengers Attacks: FG deploys warships, gunboats and fighter jets to Niger Delta creeks
The federal government, yesterday, deployed an armada of five warships, 100 gunboats and fighter jets to the creeks of the Niger Delta, in response to continued bombing of oil and gas pipelines by Niger Delta Avengers, NDA.
This heightened tension in the coastal communities of Southern Ijaw Local Government Area, even as helicopter gunships were seen hovering at low altitude in the predominantly riverine council.
It was gathered that while the Airforce deployed the fighter jets and helicopter gunships, the Army swooped on four more Ijaw communities in Gbaramatu Kingdom, Warri South West Local Government Area, Delta State, for the militants.
Bayelsa travellers from the hinterland, confirmed the large military presence in the tricky mangrove swamp of the council, which at the height of youth militancy, had the largest concentration of militant camps in the Delta.
"There is a massive security operation going on in the area. Fighter jets and helicopter gunships have been hovering around the airspace at low level, apparently on surveillance mission. Many of the natives are worried about the development," said Ayebatari, an indigene of the area.
Commander, NNS Delta, Commodore Raimi Mohammed, confirmed, yesterday, that the security agencies were now working in synergy to rout the Avengers.
He said: "We (Navy) use helicopter. If you spot it, you will clearly identify it as belonging to us. You see Navy written on it. The jet fighters and surveillance craft were deployed by Air Force to watch over the high risk areas against activities of the oil assets vandals and anyone else involved in criminality in the area.
"There is now strengthened synergy among the security agencies to stop this vandalism. The synergy is there. I will advise those involved to steer clear and employ peaceful ways of agitating and engaging their minds."
The fighter jets and surveillance aircraft were also seen flying around communities in Gbaramatu Kingdom and Ogulagha area in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State about 10a.m.
Ijaw leader, Chief Godspower Gbenekama, and Public Relations Officer of Oporoza Youth Executive, Paul Kirifade, confirmed the movement of the jet fighters and aircraft in the communities.
It was learned that the fighter jets and surveillance aircraft were deployed to enable the armed forces locate the militants, believed to be running helter-skelter and hiding in the mangrove swamps after the occupation of Oporoza and fly down on Kurutie and other communities, yesterday.

Son of Zebedee and Salome. Fisherman. Brother of Saint James the Greater, and called one of the Sons of Thunder. Disciple of Saint John the Baptist. Friend of Saint Peter the Apostle. Called by Jesus during the first year of His ministry, and traveled everywhere with Him, becoming so close as to be known as the beloved disciple. Took part in the Last Supper. The only one of the Twelve not to forsake the Saviour in the hour of His Passion, standing at the foot of the cross. Made guardian of Our Lady by Jesus, and he took her into his home. Upon hearing of the Resurrection, he was the first to reach the tomb; when he met the risen Lord at the lake of Tiberias, he was the first to recognize Him.
During the era of the new Church, he worked in Jerusalem and at Ephesus. During Jesus' ministry, he tried to block a Samaritan from their group, but Jesus explained the open nature of the new Way, and he worked on that principle to found churches in Asia Minor and baptizing converts in Samaria. Imprisoned with Peter for preaching after Pentecost. Wrote the fourth Gospel, three Epistles, and possibly the Book of Revelation. Survived all his fellow apostles.
Out of all these friends you have, is there one whom you know so well and whom knows you so well that when you're together and you talk, you can pretty much finish each other's sentences? Is there one out there with whom you can look at something, then at each other, and then laugh together without even saying a word? That's what a best friend is.
John was Jesus' best friend. He was the disciple that Jesus loved, and he was present with Jesus at all the major milestones of Jesus' public life. He was there at his baptism, at his transfiguration, and at the cross. He was the closest friend to Jesus and when Jesus died and rose from the dead, he was there at the tomb. He was the first disciple to believe in the resurrection, because when he saw the linen cloths devoid of Jesus' body, he knew what it meant.
John who wrote the fourth gospel was a man who understood symbols and the importance of it. His entire gospel is rich with symbolism, so rich that even today people are still writing books about that gospel and its meaning. That's the thing about symbols – they carry so much meaning that no one interpretation can capture it fully. Indeed that's what Jesus' entire life is about, and why the Catholic Mass itself is so rich in symbolism. There is no one book that can fully capture the entire meaning of Jesus' life.
Take a moment and think of your own friendship with your best friend. Think of all the memories you've had together. Can you list out all the things about this friend that makes you treasure this friendship? What about the things you have brought to the friendship? Once you have listed them all out, I challenge you to search the four gospels and you will find that for every item on your list, you will see that Jesus has taught it, showed it, or received it from someone else. That is the kind of friendship that Jesus wants to have with you.
Now the only question is: Is Jesus good enough to be your best friend for life?
Prayer: We pray for those who feel that they have no friends, that they may come to realise that their best friend is waiting for them to respond to his never-ending request to draw closer to Him.
Thanksgiving: We give thanks to the Lord for best friends.

Basic DataSource usage.

```

<?php

namespace FSi\Bundle\DemoBundle\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Template;

class DefaultController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @Route("/", name="demo_index")
     * @Template()
     */
    public function indexAction()
    {
        $factory = $this->get('datasource.factory');
        $driverOptions = array(
            'entity' => 'FSiDemoBundle:News'
        );
        $datasource = $factory->createDataSource('doctrine',  $driverOptions, 'datasource_name');

        $datasource
            ->addField('title', 'text', 'like')
            ->addField('author', 'text', 'like')
            ->addField('id', 'number', 'eq', array(
                'ordering' => 'desc',
                'form_disabled' => true
            ))
            ->addField('createdate', 'datetime', 'between', array(
                'form_options' => array(
                    array(
                        'date_widget' => 'single_text',
                        'time_widget' => 'single_text',
                    )
                )
            ))
            ->addField('category', 'entity', 'in', array(
                'form_options' => array(
                    'class' => 'FSi\Bundle\SiteBundle\Entity\Category',
                ),
                'ordering_disabled' => true,
            ))
        ;

        $dataSource->bindParameters($this->getRequest());

        return array(
            'datasource' => $dataSource->createView(),
            'data' => $dataSource->getResult()
        );
    }
}

```

How to display created datasource in twig template:

```

{# src/FSi/Bundle/DemoBundle/Resources/views/Default/index.html.twig #}

<form action="{{ path('demo_index') }}" method="post">
    {{ datasource_filter_widget(datasource) }}
</form>

{# display the data #}

<div class="pagination">
    {{ datasource_pagination_widget(datasource, {max_pages: 10, active_class: 'active', disabled_class: 'disabled' }) }}
</div>

```

## Registered Twig functions ##

This bundle registers a few new widgets' functions available in twig templates. These are:

### datasource_filter_widget ###

It renders datasource filter using ``datasource_filter`` twig block which could be overloaded in user bundle.

* ``view`` **(required)** - Instance of DataSourceViewInterface to render using ``datasource_field_widget``.
* ``vars`` **(optional)** - Array of additional variables passed to twig block's rendering context.

### datasource_field_widget ###

It renders form fields for only one field using ``datasource_field`` twig block  which could be overloaded in user bundle.

* ``fieldView`` **(required)** - Instance of FieldViewInterface to render (it's form) using ``form_label``, ``form_errors`` and ``form_widget``.
* ``vars`` **(optional)** - Array of additional variables passed to twig block's rendering context.

### datasource_sort_widget ###

It renders anchors for sorting datasource's result by specified field.

* ``fieldView`` **(required)** - Instance of FieldViewInterface to render anchors for.
* ``options`` **(optional)** - Array of one or more of the following options:
    * ``route`` - Route's name, if empty currently active route will be used.
    * ``additional_parameters`` - Array of additional parameters to be merged with parameters from datasource.
    * ``ascending`` - content of the ascending anchor, default: ``'↑'``.
    * ``descending`` - content of the descending anchor, default: ``'↓'``.
* ``vars`` **(optional)** - Array of additional variables passed to twig block's rendering context.

### datasource_pagination_widget ###

This function renders pagination control for specified datasource using ``datasource_pagination`` twig block which could
be overloaded in user bundle. It can take following options:

* ``view`` **(required)** - Instance of DataSourceViewInterface to render paginatior widget for.
* ``options`` **(optional)** - Array of one or more of the following options.
    * ``max_pages`` - Maximum number of pages that can be rendered at once not including first, previous, next and last pages
    * ``wrapper_attributes`` - Array of attributes that will be added to the ``<ul>`` tag wrapping the pagination widget
    * ``route`` - Route which will be used to generate all URLs. If not specified then currently active route will be used
    * ``additional_parameters`` - Array of parameters that will be merged with parameters generated from datasource
    * ``active_class`` - Class attribute that will be added to the ``<li>`` wrapper tag of currently active page anchor
    * ``disabled_class`` - Class attribute that will be added to the ``<li>`` wrapper tag of disabled page anchors (i.e first,
      previous, next or last page anchors)
    * ``translation_domain`` - Translation domain which will be used to translate anchors' contents of first, previous, next
      and last page anchors

## Additional Field Options ##

There are several additional field options added by DataSourceBundle.

* ``filter_wrapper_attributes`` - array of attributes added to the wrapper tag for this filter field

Example usage:

```
<?php

    $dataSource->add("title", "text", "like", array(
        "filter_wrapper_attributes" => array(
            "class" => "div",
            "id" => "wrapper"
        ),
    );

```

## Theming DataSource ##

Default DataSource blocks used to render each parts of DataSource are very simple, so in many cases you will need to overwrite
them. This can be easily done with theming mechanism. Theme is nothing else than a twig template that contains blocks with
specific names.

### Basic Themes ###

If you want to set theme for your DataSourceView Object you need to use special tag ``datasource_theme``.

example:

```
{% block body %}
    {% datasource_theme datasource_view 'FSiDemoBundle::datasource.html.twig' %}

    {{ datasource_filter_widget(datasource_view) }}
{% endblock %}

```

Now in file ``FSiDemoBundle::datasource.html.twig`` you can create block ``datasource_filter`` and ``datasource_filter_widget``
will use it to render DataSourceView.
**Heads Up!!** You can also pass any kind of resources into theme. All you need to do is to pass them in array

```
{% datasource_theme datasource_view 'FSiDemoBundle::datasource.html.twig' with {'dg' : datagrid} %}
```

And then ``datagrid`` object will be available in all blocks from theme under ``vars.dg``.

You can also use ``_self`` theme location instead of standalone file.

```
{% datasource_theme datasource_view _self with {'dg' : datagrid} %}
```

```
{# FSiDemoBundle::datagrid.html.twig #}

{% block datasource_filter %}
    {% for field in datasource.fields %}
        <div id="{{ datasource.name }}_{{ field.name }}_wrapper" class="filter_wrapper">
            {{ datasource_field_widget(field, vars) }}
        </div>
    {% endfor %}
{% endblock %}
```

But what if you have to render two different DataSourceView objects, one in admin panel ane second one in user part?
You can simply create two different themes and use them depending on situation, but there is also another way.
There is a way to create block for specific datasource filter, pagination or field.

Only thing you need to do is to create block name in proper naming convention.

For ``datasource_filter_widget`` you can use two patterns:
* datasource_{source_name}_filter
* datasource_filter

Example:

```
{# FSiDemoBundle::datasource.html.twig #}

{% block datasource_admin_filter %}
    {% for field in datasource.fields %}
        <div id="{{ datasource.name }}_{{ field.name }}_wrapper" class="admin_filter_wrapper">
            {{ datasource_field_widget(field, vars) }}
        </div>
    {% endfor %}
{% endblock %}

{% block datasource_orders_filter %}
    {% for field in datasource.fields %}
        <div id="{{ datasource.name }}_{{ field.name }}_wrapper" class="frontend_filter_wrapper">
            {{ datasource_field_widget(field, vars) }}
        </div>
    {% endfor %}
{% endblock %}
```

### Blocks naming conventions for widgets ###

``datasource_filter_widget``
* datasource_{source_name}_filter
* datasource_filter

``datasource_field_widget``
* datasource_{source_name}_field_name_{field_name}
* datasource_{source_name}_field_type_{field_type}
* datasource_field_name_{field_name}
* datasource_field_type_{field_type}
* datasource_{source_name}_field
* datasource_field

``datasource_sort_widget``
* datasource_{source_name}_sort
* datasource_sort

``datasource_pagination_widget``
* datasource_{source_name}_pagination
* datasource_pagination

As you can see there are many ways to overwrite default block even for specific field in specific datasource.

As much as we all love traveling and exploring the globe, sometimes it doesn't always go quite as smoothly as we'd like. And these past few days have given us some prime examples of the fun and excitement being robbed from a trip abroad. Most notable was the San Francisco to Shanghai flight that was, well, shanghaied. The supposedly 13-hour flight left San Fran Sunday, but problems immediately arose – a broken toilet on board forced the flight to be diverted to Alaska where they were going to replace the plane(call me immature, but "broken toilet" and "strand passengers" in a headline pretty much guarantees that I'm clicking on the link). But the next plane had mechanical issues. The result was that travelers didn't arrive in China until Tuesday – three days late.
Continuing the theme of nightmare travel to Asia, there was a lot written this week about the state-of-the-art Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International Airport, which has been ordered to get its act together by the International Air Transport Association. The airport, which opened to much fanfare in 2006,is simply doing a very poor job of moving tourists through the facility – which is really the main goal of any airport. Thai officials are advising several smaller carriers to move operations to Bangkok's other airport.
At CNN, Danielle Tumminio takes a look at the hidden secrets of Australia's outback. And speaking of hidden secrets, here are 10 cool things that are off the beaten track in London.
Headed to France? They've just launched a car sharing program that includes only electric cars. Rick Steves at the Los Angeles Times has the story on this very forward-looking program, which is available to American and Canadian drivers.


This podcast is a follow up on a request I put out about a month ago concerning health insurance and the gap years between retirement and when Medicare becomes your primary insurer.
I got a request from a listener, Kim, who is going to retire soon. She has everything figured out about retiring except for health care. It is causing one big question and stress. What to do about health insurance between your retirement time and medicare. This gap is proving unsettling. She has it reduced down to three choices none of which sound good: buying on the open market and getting a part time job to pay for it, purchasing COBRA which is expensive and limited, or going without (not a good idea). What to do? She wondered if any of the listeners to these podcasts have discovered or developed another option that is better? If you have done something that works for you please let me know and I will include that option in an upcoming episode and we can help Kim and others going into retirement become a little less stressed. And that is the way retirement should be: less stressed.
Well, I received the following three letters in response to the request from one listener.
There are some details and numbers that you might want to remember. I will post the text form of this podcast at the same time I post the audio version. So...no worries.
The sender asked that I not include his name for personal reasons. Then the following two emails came which expand on the topic.
Dear Mr. Lowery, I think your listener will find getting healthcare a major problem only if his income is below the federal poverty level and he lives in a state that didn't expand Medicaid, or if his income is just above the range needed to qualify for an Obamacare Advanced Premium Tax credit. Kaiser Premanete has an excellent calculator that will give you a good estimate of Obamacare premiums, just google Kaiser Permanete , calculator- I tried to attach the link , but it didn't work.. The information and percentages I gave were from memory, but I believe they are accurate. Before the Affordable Care Act , it was difficult or impossible for early retirees to get health insurance, now it is a much smaller problem for most people and it was a complete nonissue for me. ...………..
This email came just today from Beth another listener.
I listen to your podcast and appreciate your thoughts. We are not retired yet, but are working towards it. I heard you ask about input as it regards health insurance before someone is eligible for Medicare, other than the ACA Marketplace, and I was surprised that no one replied to your request.
There are several medical sharing entities that exist. Some of them are faith-based, and I know of at least one that is not. They work by their members sharing costs for larger health items. We do not have personal experience using one, as we still have health coverage through an employer, but our financial planner uses one himself. We plan to look into this more closely as the need arises.
I want to thank the listeners who took the time and effort to clarify this issue for me and anyone who might be facing this issue. If you are not facing it you probably know someone who does. It might be well to share the information.
I know little to nothing of this issue. But these explanation seem very illuminating and helpful to me. Healthcare is expensive and can wreck havoc on anyone's working salary or retirement plans.
I'll break with tradition and post the text to this episode right along with the audio. It should help you with the details stated in the program.

'Real Housewife' charged with trespassing, battery and more
Posted: 6:16 AM, Dec 24, 2017
By: WPTV Webteam

Luann de Lesseps

PALM BEACH, Fla. — A cast member of a popular reality TV show has been arrested in Palm Beach.
Luann de Lesseps, 52, was arrested on Saturday, December 23, 2017.
De Lesseps is featured on "The Real Housewives of New York City" television show, which airs on Bravo.
She is charged with disorderly intoxication, battery on an officer/firefighter/EMT, resisting arrest with violence, and threatening a public servant.
Palm Beach Police were called to the Colony Hotel at approximately 11:18 p.m. that night, where they met with hotel security.
The security guard told police that an intoxicated woman was trespassing in someone else's room and they refused to leave after being given multiple warnings.
According to hotel security, they were notified by housekeeping that a female and male entered the room while housekeeping staff were completing a turn down service. The hotel's security guard entered the room and found the female and male in the bed at the time. He says he told them multiple times to vacate the room and return to their assigned room. After multiple attempts, security contacted the Palm Beach Police Department.
When officers arrived, they found two females occupying the room, later identified as Luann de Lesseps and her friend Julie Olson.
According to an arrest report, both women smelled of an unknown alcoholic beverage, had slurred speech and appeared to be highly intoxicated.
Police say when officers asked the women to leave the room, de Lesseps locked herself in the bathroom.
When security began to unlock the bathroom door, de Lesseps opened the door and an officer attempted to remove her from the bathroom.
According to a police report, de Lesseps then shoved an officer with an open palm to the chest, then slammed the door on an officer's face, striking him in the forehead. Police say de Lesseps resisted arrest while being put in handcuffs by pushing and pulling away from the officers.
Police say while de Lesseps was in the back of the patrol car, she slipped out of her hand cuffs and attempted to exit the vehicle.
When her hand cuffs were once again secured and she was being placed back into the patrol car, police say she stated, "I'm going to [expletive] kill you," and tried kicking the door to keep it from closing.
Once she was transported to the Palm Beach Police Department and placed in a holding cell, police say she stated multiple times that she was "going to [expletive] kill all of you."
Luann de Lesseps appeared before a judge Sunday morning and was released. She will appear back in Palm Beach County court in 30 days.
Her spokesman Pete Sanders released a statement to The Associated Press, offering her sincere apologies to anyone she might have offended with her behavior.
De Lesseps said it was her first time in the area since her wedding and "being there brought up long-buried emotions."


I'd noticed my machine was running a bit laggy, so I ran two malwarebytes scans and found the following. I've also attached a hijack this log. I tried to run D.D.S., but after 15 minutes of it running without any progress I decided to kill it. It is actually currently hung on my system, and I cannot end the process via the task manager process lists, so I'll probably have to perform a forced shut-down. This is somewhat odd, I disabled Avast! and my firewall and cannot think of any other script blocking programs that could be interfering. Any assistance that could be provided would be appreciated.
EDIT: I decided to also run a trendmicro root kit scanner. I doubt almost anything in it is actually a rootkit, but in the off chance I missed something I decided to post the contents amidst the other logs included.
C:\Documents and Settings\Amun-Ra 13\Local Settings\Temp\IWantThis.exe (Adware.GamePlayLabs) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-682003330-1035525444-725345543-1004\Dc56.exe (PUP.AdBundle) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
!!==Log 3 - Hijack This==!!
!!==Log 4 - Trend Micro RootkitBuster==!!
13 hidden registry entries found.
No hidden operating system service hooks found.
No kernel code patching detected.
Do you use this program?
Note: Close all browsers before running ATF Cleaner: IE, FireFox, etc.
All items removed, and all cleaning tasks performed. May I ask why I was instructed to remove IObit? I rather enjoyed some of the system tools that came packaged with it.
Also, yes I do use System Explorer.
Just trying to get the performance back so anything that's running will make a difference.
You still with me on this?
We've only just started looking at this.
My apologies, I am still with you. My reply was delayed by a serious system failure.
A few evenings ago I was playing a game called League of Legends with some friends of mine. While running the program I also had skype up so we could chat with one another while playing said game. During the game my Skype account was disconnected, and the games screen cut to black. I still had audio of the game happening though.
Deciding it best to close the process, I ended the games task in the task manager. While looking through the task manager I noticed several strange entries, attempted to take a screenshot of the events but recieved a blank error message informing me of something while the print screen failed to paste into a paint document. I've attempted to replicate what the screen I saw looked like with the image attached.
Things got progressivly worse. While attempting to restore my Skype password (which was now for some reason inexplicably blank) I noticed that websites wern't fully loading. It got so bad I eventually had to kill the browsers I was using in an effort to get a better view of things. My desktop was acting tempramental, icons were discolored, and some were missing, others had black shadows encompassing them. I attempted to open a folder, and it looked like for a split second a folder was opening before suddenly it abruptly closed and another blank error message was displayed on my screen. I'd had enough of all this, and proceeded to manually shutdown the machine.
I've booted it a few times in safe mode and tried to run malwarebytes, running a full system scan. Since I have alot of files I generally set it up and than leave it be. However, after attempting two full system scans the system seems to shut down in the middle of the scans for reasons I can't imagine. A quick scan revealed no infections, but a full scan might be best.
I've managed to load up the machine in normal mode. Loading times seem slower than I remember them, but so far the strange system failures haven't started up again.
Do these sound like signs that my video card / power supply is going out? I've been having some issues with both in the past, but am uncertain how such things would result in Skype crashing.
EDIT: I have added the image file mentioned earlier and a collection of event log entries I found suspicious.
You can Google those yourself like I did.
Nothing appears to be bad.
It really sounds like a hardware issue to me.
I see, what sort of hardware issue do you think it is? A problem with graphics card / power supply / hard drive? I'm doing some searches myself and am having trouble finding what hardware is implicated by the described symptoms.
Is it only when you're on the web you notice issues with picture, etc.?
Have you tried both IE and FireFox?
I generally am constantly on the internet in one way or another, so although it has surfaced only while I'm using a browser or playing an online game, I'm not sure if that is a good indicator of a correlation.
The graphics card I'm running with is REALLY old, an Nvidia Geforce 8500, so I'm currently ordering in a newer model with a built in fan. After I get that installed in the next few days I'll be in need of your insight if the problem persists.
EDIT: Also, I think the content loss has been occurring while using both Firefox and Google Chrome, but I never use IE so I have as of yet not seen if it also happens there. The content loss isn't confined to the browsers though, it also eventually results in "The Application Failed To Initialize Properly" errors.
"The Application Failed To Initialize Properly"
That could be about anything.
Does it give you a code number like: oxcoooo?
It does, but it is hard to make out due to the obscuring of text.
Lets see what happens with the new video card when you get it.
Sorry for the delayed response, it has been hectic around here as of late.
After installing the graphics card and fiddling with it's driver set things seem to be doing better. I haven't noticed any of the strange distortions to icons, and the "application failed to initialize properly" errors are no longer occurring. The system does seem to be a bit slower than I recall it being though, especially on boot up. I doubt that is the graphics card's fault though, probably some other system element getting bogged down.


Our experienced technicians know how to get rid of skunks.
Skunk extermination should always be performed humanely.
Skunks are beautiful in nature--but terribly irritating in or under your building.
Skunks can get through holes that are quite small.
A dead skunk causes as many or more problems as a live one.
Contact a professional skunk removal specialist in your area.
Oftentimes when people try to trap the animal with their own cage, they use unsuitable traps which allow spray to get all over the place. On top of that, once the critter is trapped there's still an animal to deal with. Trapping is the best method, but it must be done right. As a wildlife trapping professional, I have special styles of traps to prevent this from happening, along with other tools and resources to aid the process.
Trapping professionals have the know-how to avoid being sprayed during the trapping process, while others may not.
The power of skunk smell cannot be underestimated. The molecules in the odor have a way of blanketing and settling into a house or dwelling like a rain cloud. If you wait to take care of this problem, consequences include permanently damaged duct work, furniture, drapes, carpet, clothing�you name it. We have machines and products that remove skunk odor. We have tools to deodorize, neutralize, and emit fragrances that attack the damaging molecules. The longer the odor has a chance to disperse and attach, the harder it will be to eliminate it.
When skunk spray gets in a home or in a window well, the standard average cost to take care of it can be between $1500 to $4000. Oftentimes this may not even include insurance costs to replace furnishings, carpets, drapery, etc. Like I said, though, this kind of permanent damage and high cost can be avoided if you call professionals like me as soon as you identify the problem.
There are times when people will trap the animal themselves, but then realize the problem has literally multiplied when they discover the offspring that was left behind, or find dead skunks rotting under the porch . As a professional, I know how to get rid of skunks entirely.
On top of the already mentioned consequences of the potent spray, keep in mind that its smell that can permeate a sprayed region for up to one mile. The spray can also burn an attacker's eyes and cause temporary blindness. It's obvious that the spray is a great defensive tactic. But if you can believe it, there are even more reasons to keep these animals off your territory.
When the number of the animals in a region rises to unacceptable levels.
When the animals have taken up residence in, under, or around a home or dwelling. If you have pets, livestock, or even children who might make the mistake of attacking or frightening the creatures, this is especially true.
When public health officials have determined a rabies epidemic in a given area, or when an animal shows signs of being rabid.
While skunks can be considered gentle and passive, no human wants to cross one the wrong way. These animals will spray if they feel threatened or afraid for their lives. Humans who act aggressively towards the animal put themselves at risk. In such cases, the critters can spray up to 15 feet, using a gland located under their tails. So remember that if you see one, avoid raising your hands or smiling. Just lower your head and walk away quietly. There have been reported cases of animals that enter homes through pet doors and then find quiet closets or empty beds in which to spend the night. But again, as long as it does not feel threatened, it won't spray.
So if you cross paths with a creature about the same size of a house cat, with two white stripes down its back, don't panic. Follow the guidelines outlined above, and remember that it takes professional know-how to get rid of skunks.

Dr. Sam Robbins has been asked a few dozen times about the drug, Plavix.
One of the top 10 selling drugs in the world for over a decade. How does it work, is it safe, are there natural alternatives and so forth. Most doctors prescribe Plavix in combination with Aspirin. So Dr. Sam Robbins is going to reveal the scary truth about Plavix and some of the 5 best, natural alternatives that he's discovered when finding solutions for his own family.
Plavix is like a super Aspirin. Plavix makes it more difficult for platelets to stick together. So, it keeps your blood thinner, flowing better, with the goal of improving circulation. On average, most physicians prescribe Plavix for at least one year of use. Which can be very expensive because that works out to well over $2000+ a year and for some, it's over $3000 yearly.
But things get worse because research investigating the effects of Plavix for the prevention of stroke and cognitive decline have confirmed previous findings: It's Deadly Plavix, especially when combined with aspirin significantly increases risk of death and doubles the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and more than doubles fatal hemorrhaging.
What's interesting is that Plavix doesn't work correctly for up to 25% of the population who have the CYP2C19 gene. So, you must do an expensive genetic DNA test to see if you have this gene and thus, if Plavix will even work for you.
However, there are natural, safer, easier and better ways of accomplishing this goal. So let us quickly discuss them. You see, improving blood flow and circulation has many aspects to it. You want to have thinner blood. You don't want thick, sticky blood… which can result in blood clots, heart attack or stroke.
And there's a natural form of aspirin that helps do this, it's called White Willow Extract (25% Salicin) and it has no none of the negative side-effects. Add in Vitamin E and D3 also help and again, no negative side-effects. You also want to have stronger, more flexible and pliable blood vessels.
This helps avoid tears and ruptures, which can cause a heart attack or stroke… especially during times of high blood pressure. A combination of Acetyl L-Carnitine, L-Carnitine Fumarate and Glycine Propionyl L-Carnitine (GPLC) naturally fix this problem. You also want to remove excess calcium, minerals and heavy metals OUT of your arteries. This decreases plaque and calcium buildup and keeps blood flow moving faster.
A good magnesium blend combined with Vitamin K2-7 naturally help fix this problem by taking calcium out the arteries and puts it back into the bones, where it should be.
And the use of N-Acetyl L-Cysteine helps remove heavy metals and strengthens your liver for detoxing. One thing most doctors never talk about is Fibrin buildup, which is a major cause of blood clots.
Using a good Nattokinase supplement quickly helps fix this. You also want to reduce inflammation. Ginger extract does a great job of this, while also inhibiting platelet aggregation – which means, it reduces the "clumping" of blood.
These findings provide experimental evidence supporting the potential application of I. obliquus in lung cancer.
Structure characterization and hypoglycaemic activities of two polysaccharides from Inonotus obliquus.
The polysaccharide from Inonotus obliquus protects mice from Toxoplasma gondii-induced liver injury.
Charlie here. Meh! Most drugs have side effects that are just as worse as the disease it's trying to cure.
Did you know drugs described by the drug dealers, er doctors kill far more than the drug dealers out on the street and it seems the licensed one kill 10x more the unlicensed ones proving those Democraps up there are really out to get you.
Try this in your head – A doughnut a day keep the licensed drug dealer away. Repeat 2x a day when tempted to go to the licensed drug dealer, er doctor for a headache. Go head to a bakery and get a doughnut instead. My doughnuts are licensed to be sold at thousands of bakeries across the land.
I'm quite sure you'll find one near you.

Southeast Asia's Chope and China's Meituan-Dianping partner to tap into booming Chinese tourist market
SINGAPORE, Feb. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Asia's leading dining platform Chope has formed a regional integrated partnership with lifestyle service giant Meituan-Dianping to power restaurant reservations.
Following the integration, Chinese tourists can now enjoy more convenient and localised travel-dining services by reserving at some of the region's top restaurants for free on Meituan-Dianping's global lifestyle channels.
The partnership comes as Chinese tourism continues to boom across the eight cities Chope operates in — Singapore, Bali, Jakarta, Bangkok, Phuket, and Hong Kong — as reported by the World Tourism Organisation. Furthermore, food tourism remains amongst the top three expenditures for Chinese tourists according to statistics by international data company Nielson.
Meituan-Dianping facilitates millions of Chinese users' dining journeys through restaurant discovery and reservation making. By unifying Meituan-Dianping's strong ethos with the Chinese market and Chope's localised regional expertise, Chinese tourists can expect a curated travel-dining experience whilst abroad.

"We are confident that Meituan-Dianping's platform will contribute significantly to outbound destination discovery and that the integration will help match tourist dining demands to our exciting network of over 4,000 restaurants regionally. Ultimately, I believe the partnership will strengthen our vision of creating seamless and memorable dining experiences for more people, more often."
The integration follows previously reported partnerships with Instagram and Google Dining. Currently implemented for over 60 restaurants in Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Indonesia, the integration is slated for a full roll-out in the coming month.

Diet high in nondigestible part of plants, which is fiber. Fiber is found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Insoluble fiber increases stool bulk, decreases transit time of food in the bowel, and decreases constipation and the risk of colon cancer.
Because of strong epidemiological evidence that people from cultures with high-fiber diets are far less likely to develop diverticulosis than are people who live in cultures of low-fiber diets, it has been assumed that a diet high in fiber can prevent diverticulosis.
The idea that bowel cancer is a disease caused by a modern low-fiber diet had enough support in the scientific community that several clinical trials were done to test the effect of high-fiber diets on precancerous lesions in the colon.
Other diets tested led to more modest reductions in cholesterol, possibly because they contained fewer nuts than the high-fiber diet, according to researchers.
A high-fiber diet and taking extra magnesium is a good way of moving food through the intestines.
While there's no apparent evidence that fiber will protect you from colon and rectal cancer, a high-fiber diet of fruits, vegetables and whole grains can be beneficial to your health in other ways.
A lowfat, high-fiber diet after age two and plenty of exercise seem to be two of the safest ways to lower blood cholesterol.
What do doctors mean by too much cholesterol? What does too much cholesterol do to you?
But if you depend on oat bran alone to create a high-fiber diet, you are short-changing yourself.
A high-fiber diet can help lower the risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
The researchers also noted that women who eat a high-fiber diet also may have healthier lifestyles, which could help explain the difference in breast-cancer risk.
Moreover, a high-fiber diet works as well as the American Heart Association (AHA) diet designed to improve risk in patients with metabolic syndrome, say the authors of a study in the February 17, 2015, Annals of Internal Medicine.
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether oral administration of TG with maltose or dextrin is capable of reducing post-prandial serum glucose concentration in experimentally streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic dogs fed on a high-fiber diet.


LARRY VUCKOVICH, a jazz pianist whose career has developed for the past 25 years on the West Coast, moved to the East Coast five months ago, bringing with him an outlook and a collection of influences that set him apart from most pianists who are heard regularly in New York.
At Zinno, 128 West 13th Street, where he appeared through last night accompanied by the bassist Walter Booker, Mr. Vuckovich mixed a mainstream swinging attack, romanticism that bordered on the expansive Erroll Garner manner, a strong blues sensitivity and exotic reflections of his native Yugoslavia. The jazz influences that he cites as affecting his playing include some of the expected, familiar names – Bud Powell and Miles Davis as well as Red Garland, Tommy Flanagan and Barry Harris. But he also mentions John Handy and Monk Montgomery, echoes of his long residence in SanFrancisco, and the saxophonist Brew Moore.
This gives him a broad range of sources on which he draws in imaginative fashion, taking elements with which he can build peformances that are given unity by his own musical background. Playing a Yugoslavian folk theme, he evokes visions of minarets as readily as he develops a broad, deep exploration of the blues from Avery Parrish's "After Hours." His playing is warmly emotional, melodic and very positively swinging, an element that is underlined and extended by Mr. Booker's strong support.
JAZZ musicians with Eastern European roots can be seen tonight on Channel 31 in "Club Date," two half-hour jazz programs presented back to back at 9 o'clock. The Hungarian guitarist Gabor Szabo plays pop-jazz with a diluted flamenco element; the pianist Larry Vuckovich leads a superior quartet that adds hints of Mr. Vuckovich's Yugoslavian heritage to aggressive hard-bop.
But the second "Club Date," a 1982 set by Larry Vuckovich, is well worth tuning in for at 9:30 P.M. – especially because the pianist has made only a few albums. Mr. Vuckovich can summon the aggressive, modal style of 1960's jazz or a more ornate, more traditionalist approach. His quartet includes the trumpeter Tom Harrell, the drummer Sherman Ferguson and the first-rate bassist John Heard, who is based in Los Angeles and rarely performs in New York. In the final selection, a barrelhouse-flavored "After Hours," the alto saxophonist Charles McPherson joins the group for a wailing guest solo.
"Village Voices," which opens the program, mixes angular Slavic folk tunes with the modal style of McCoy Tyner. Mr. Vuckovich plays a romantic solo version of Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life," and the punchy hard-bop of Mr. Harrell's tune "Blue News" completes the segment. For those who haven't heard the pianist in New York clubs, the program is a fine sampling.
Larry Vuckovich Trio: West End Cafe, 2911 Broadway, at 114 St.
The Yugoslavian pianist Larry Vuckovich is a fleet-fingered beboper who can also play sultry, big-chorded blues. His repertoire includes both standards and more modern compositions, among them his own pieces, which reveal his Balkan heritage. Mr. Vuckovich's current trio features Mel Lewis on drums, in a different context from his well-known big band.
The Balkan bopper has a trio with Mel Lewis, and a book of piano gems that will keep you guessing.
Charles McPherson Quintet, Village Vanguard, 178 Seventh Avenue South, at 11th Street.
Like the be-bop pioneers who shaped his playing, the alto saxophonist Charles McPherson can breeze through the trickiest of harmonies and invent chorus after chorus of smoothly phrased melody, all in a tone that seems as casual as a weekend stroll. For his current engagement, he has a promising quintet, with the trombonist Curtis Fuller, the bassist David Williams, the drummer Billy Higgins, and the pianist Larry Vuckovich. Mr. McPherson and Mr. Vuckovich work together on the pianist's new album "Blues for Red" (Hot House Import).

Who Was Jesus? – Part Two
by Carl Krieg on June 26, 2019 | No Reviews or Comments
New approach
Part One of our answer to the question of who Jesus was, was basically presented on a secular plane. That changes now, as much of what follows is presented as a statement of belief rather than history.
Nobody would be paying any attention to Jesus today had not a certain few been totally impacted by him 2000 years ago. But even in looking at his followers we need to differentiate between the very first disciples and those who came even a few years later, and so we limit ourselves to those who knew him personally in the flesh. The task is not simple. Even though the gospels seem to relate accounts from the life of Jesus, they were put in final form 40-80 years after Jesus was crucified, and so present us with documents that are a later combination of opinion and fact.
Of the perhaps thousands of people who met Jesus, only a very few were existentially changed. Many were challenged, but few responded. From an external perspective, many perhaps wondered "is he the messiah?" or "did he heal that person?", and then went about their business, totally unaffected. But some were totally impacted and wound up following him. Why? What was it about his encounter with these people? How can we enter that relational event and discover the dynamic?
In trying to understand the human being, I have concluded that there are four characteristics that apply to all of us. There is no time here to fully go into that, and I refer you to my book, The Void and the Vision, but a short summary is in order. The first characteristic is that we all create our own world. As we are bombarded with experience throughout life, we develop a perspective, a filter through which we interpret new experience. We become confined in our particular interpretation of reality and lose touch with reality itself. No two of us see life the same. The basic problem that affects us all is that we tend to assume that our version of the world is the real thing, and that everyone else should see things the same way we do. The reasonable approach, of course, would be to assume that since we are limited in our experience, we should be open to learning from others with different experience. But we are not logical in this regard. We universalize our experience, not really able to fully appreciate those whose worlds are different. In this sense, we are egocentric.
The second element is that humans inherently search for meaning in life, and the creation of our private world creates a sense of emptiness due to our inability to appreciate reality, and so we seek to escape from the void we have created. The escapes are as varied as we are- incessant usage of cell phones, tv, shopping, work, ceaseless talking, extreme sports. But every so often reality breaks in, moments occur in which our world is overcome and opened up. Such moments are unpredictable, fleeting, and come to us in myriad ways, freeing us to experience the fullness of life. And lastly is the fact that we are communal, relational beings. We need other people to fulfill our potential.
The disciples were egocentric in the manner described, sought meaning, sought community, and had experienced moments. But what about Jesus? Was he different? I think so. Although his experience was limited in space and time, he did not create an egocentric world. He did not distort reality, and so was continually open to the world that surrounded him, including the men and women with whom he lived and traveled. Life for him was a constant moment in touch with reality. As a consequence, he did not experience the void with all its consequent escapes. And the family of disciples that he gathered was his community. Structurally, his life was just like ours, only without the distortions.
What he presented to those who would become his disciples was an incarnation of who they were created to be and could become. He showed them what it meant to be a fully human being. Because he was who he was, his followers could increasingly become as he was. He did not create believers by performing miracles, or because his teaching was original and powerful, or because he died a sacrificial death, or because a tomb was empty. People were impacted by Jesus because they saw in him whom they were meant to be and could become. Their worlds could open and they could become more open to and receptive of others. The void of their lives was in the process of being filled with meaning. Their escapes from their self-imposed isolation became unwanted and unneeded. And they, like Jesus, found community in their togetherness. Because of the true human being he was, he could help others change their life.
The sinlessness of Jesus historically has been part of Christian theology. Following Augustine, the church believed that original sin was a genetically inherited disease, and for Jesus to be free of it, he had not only to have the Holy Spirit for a father, but his mother, Mary, had to be "immaculately conceived", ie, born without sin, without the bad gene. Quite to the contrary, what I am suggesting is that we create a distorted world and absolutize it, that in this sense we are egocentric, and Jesus did not do that. He was truly a fully human being.
Looking at Jesus relationally enables us to go beyond the impasse of the Chalcedonian creed. We don't try to relate the abstract concepts of humanity and divinity. Traditionally, Christian theology has talked about Jesus in terms of his person and his work. As a consequence, talk of his person became wrapped up in relating his humanity and his divinity, and talk of his work became an analysis of his teaching and his sacrificial dying. When we look at Jesus in relation to his disciples, instead of looking at the "person and work" of Jesus, we look at who he was in relational encounter. We thereby avoid the Chalcedonian problems of trying to relate his divinity and his humanity. He was able to impact others because he was a true human being. It was the fulness of his humanity that enabled others to see in him what they also could become and were meant to be.
Not only so, but they were also enabled to experience God in and through him. He was the perfect window through which the divine cosmic thou could challenge their world. He was for them the continual possibility to be encountered by the One who stood behind all of creation. Jesus was the perfect human who was also the perfect window to God. It's not as though there was a divine nature in him, but rather that his fully human nature was transparent to the God who inheres all reality.
Can we go one step further? What about Nicaea, the council that claimed that Jesus was of the same essence as the Father? Thinking relationally does not relieve us of the issue of Jesus' origin. How was it possible that this perfect man walked the earth? Our human problem is that we universalize the world we have created, that we are egocentric. Jesus did not do that. Why not? By what power did he not try to impose his will on others? How did he resist that temptation? How was he sinless? I see no other answer than to say that Jesus got it from/as God. The power of Jesus to impact others was the truth of his humanity, and this truth was sent by God.

1 Probably the first question that occurs to us is whether or not there are other homo sapiens who, like Jesus, are not egocentric in the way we have described it, ie as creating a world and distorting one's perception of reality. Based on my analysis in The Void and the Vision it seems to me that human egotism is so powerful that it precludes the possibility of our overcoming it totally.
2 A second question relates to whether there are others like Jesus who also are sent from God. Certainly there are billions on the face of the planet who believe that there are others also sent from God. In relating Jesus to these others, we begin by remembering that Jesus both taught and demonstrated in his life that love is the essence of who we are, and any who violate that standard in their teaching stand in contradiction to the God revealed in Jesus. Similarly, all who believe in that love are as one, regardless of differences.
3 Thirdly, is there a difference between the belief and experience of Q and that of the Jerusalem disciples? Are there two versions of the Christian faith that are found right in the Bible? After the crucifixion, the Jerusalem community experienced a risen Christ, a new reality, and were thus convinced that love ultimately overcomes evil and that we all return to God. These twin beliefs were basic to the community. But did Q experience this? Were they assured that love conquers evil? Were they assured that in some way we all return to God? On the first point, they could know in their life together that love wins. They didn't need a cross and resurrection to show the power of love. They knew it in their being together. On the second point, on whether they believed that we all return to God, I see no reason not to assume that that was part of Jesus' teaching. They could know from what Jesus said and did that we all return.
4 Lastly, most generally, and perhaps most importantly, people around the world work to overcome ego, they experience moments when ego is overcome, they experience community, and they love. They do not follow Jesus. How do they differ from one who does? They can know that love wins in the same way that Q learned that, in their life together. Probably the only differentiation between a secular humanist and a follower of Jesus is that the former has no belief in a return to God, inasmuch as God does not enter the secular worldview. What matters, however, is not what one believes, but whether one lives a life of compassion. That, no doubt, is the essence of who Jesus was, and ultimately, the answer to our question.

"Time Is Tight" is an instrumental recorded by Booker T. & the M.G.'s for their soundtrack to the 1968 film UpTight.

Background
The group recorded two versions of the song – the shorter (3:14), slower version was released as a single in 1969, and became one of the biggest hits of the group's career, peaking at #7 R&B and #6 Pop. The longer (4:55) version (which was included on the official soundtrack album) is played at a faster tempo than the single version, and features an extended introduction and an instrumental 'breakdown' section, neither of which was included in the single version.

Personnel
 Booker T. Jones – organ
 Steve Cropper – guitar
 Al Jackson Jr. – drums
 Donald "Duck" Dunn – bass

Charts

Weekly charts

Year-end charts

Cover versions
The Clash recorded a notable cover, which they had previously used as a "warm-up" in live performances. The song appears on their 1980 singles compilation album Black Market Clash, and also on their 1994 album Super Black Market Clash. (The Clash's arrangement differs from the original in one major respect – it modulates to D for the 'chorus' section, whereas the MG's version modulates to G.)
A rendition appears on The Shadows album XXV.
The Blues Brothers used the song as an intro to their shows in a medley with Otis Redding's "I Can't Turn You Loose". It is featured in The Blues Brothers film as well as in the 1983 mini-album Dancin' wid da Blues Brothers.

Popular culture
The song was played by BBC Radio 1 DJ Johnnie Walker in the early 1970s as the back up music to the weekly BBC chart rundowns.  These were published by the British Market Research Bureau on the Tuesday and then broadcast later that day on 247 metres medium wave.

Moore v. Moore
John David MOORE, Appellant/Cross-Appellee
Nancy MOORE (Now Lee), Appellee/Cross-Appellant
APPEAL FROM THE LOGAN COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT [NO. 42BDR-12-71], HONORABLE DAVID H. MCCORMICK, JUDGE
COURTNEY HUDSON GOODSON, Associate Justice
This is the second time this divorce case has come before us. In Moore v. Moore, 2016 Ark. 105, 486 S.W.3d 766 (Moore I ), we reversed the Logan County Circuit Court's division of certain property and award of alimony and remanded. Appellant John David Moore ("David") appeals from the circuit court's order on remand and argues that the circuit court erred in (1) dividing the marital property unequally, (2) valuing and dividing the marital livestock, and (3) holding him in contempt. Appellee Nancy Moore (now Lee) ("Nancy") cross-appeals from the circuit court's calculation of the amount that she was ordered to reimburse David for his payments on a parcel of real property referred to by the parties as "Granny's Place." We affirm on direct appeal and reverse and remand on cross-appeal.
The parties were married on April 27, 2007, and separated on June 16, 2012. On June 18, 2012, Nancy filed a complaint for divorce, and David responded and counterclaimed for divorce. The parties litigated property division and alimony issues, and the circuit court entered a divorce decree on February 5, 2014. In the decree, the court awarded Nancy $ 278,178.02 for one-half of the growth of David's nonmarital business, Moore U.S. Mail Contractor, Inc., finding that the substantial increase in value was a marital asset based on the contributions and efforts of both parties. The court awarded the remaining marital property equally, including the marital livestock consisting of 10 bulls (3 of which had already been sold by David), 24 horses, 10 cows, and 7 calves. The parties were ordered to sell the livestock by agreement within sixty days, or if they were unable to agree on the manner in which to dispose of the animals, they were to be sold by the clerk of the court. The circuit court also awarded Nancy $ 5,000 per month in alimony until she is sixty-five years old.
David appealed, arguing that the circuit court erred by awarding Nancy one-half of the growth of his business during the marriage and $ 5,000 per month in alimony. The court of appeals dismissed the appeal for lack of a final order, Moore v. Moore, 2015 Ark.App. 115, 2015 WL 801993, and we granted the parties' petition for review. On review, we held that the divorce decree was final and appealable and that the circuit court erred in finding that the growth in David's business was a marital asset. Moore I, supra . We reversed and remanded, stating that the circuit court must award David the growth of his business as his nonmarital property unless the court makes "a specific statutory finding to justify any distribution to Nancy." Id. at 10, 486 S.W.3d at 773. This court also remanded the alimony issue for the circuit court to reconsider "when it redistributes the parties' property." Id. at 11, 486 S.W.3d at 774.
At an October 2016 status conference held on remand, the circuit court ordered the parties to list for private sale— within ninety days— certain real and personal property that was deemed marital under the terms of the divorce decree. The court further provided that if the property did not sell within ninety days, it would appoint the circuit court clerk to conduct the sale. An order to this effect was entered on February 7, 2017. Prior to the entry of this order, David sold eight calves at a livestock auction and claimed that seven of the calves were marital property. The proceeds from this sale— $ 2,382.74— were tendered into the registry of the court.
On March 8, 2017, the circuit court ordered the circuit clerk to conduct a private sale of the parties' remaining personal property, including the livestock, at David's farm on April 21, 2017. The real property was ordered to be sold at the courthouse that same day, and all proceeds from the sale were to be deposited into the registry of the court.
The circuit court entered an order in April 2017 reducing the judgment against David in the divorce decree by $ 278,178.03 pursuant to this court's ruling in Moore I that the increase in the value of David's business was nonmarital. Nancy then filed a motion and an amended motion for an unequal division of marital assets, arguing that because this court's decision significantly reduced her award, the circuit court should not divide the remaining marital property equally. Instead, she claimed that it should make some other division that is equitable considering the parties' health and station in life, occupation, amount of income, vocational skills, and employability. She also requested an increase in her alimony payments, either in addition to or as an alternative to her request to divide the marital property unequally.
Nancy also moved the circuit court to hold David in contempt because of the manner in which he had handled the marital livestock. She claimed that he sold 7 calves on January 12, 2017, without her agreement and below market value, and that the 4 bulls, 21 horses, and 7 cows sold at the court-ordered auction on April 21, 2017 were not the animals acquired during the marriage and were of lesser or inferior value than the marital animals. She asserted that David should be obligated to pay damages for the difference in the market value of the marital animals and the animals that he sold, plus $ 10,000 for contempt of court and attorney's fees and costs. In addition, she alleged that the marital livestock in David's possession had produced offspring since the entry of the divorce decree and that she was entitled to an equitable amount of the value of these offspring.
David filed a petition for reimbursement of various expenses associated with the maintenance and sale of the marital property. These expenses included the costs of feeding and caring for the livestock, the costs incurred in hiring workers to prepare the animals for sale, real estate taxes on the two parcels of real property ordered sold, and payments toward the principal indebtedness on Granny's Place.
A hearing on these matters was held on September 7, 2017, and the circuit court instructed the parties to file posthearing briefs on the remaining, undecided issues. In her brief, Nancy asserted that out of the $ 336,105.34 remaining in the registry of the court after the sale of the parties' property, she was entitled to $ 30,281.95 for the marital-livestock offspring, $ 43,833.32 for the value of the true marital animals that should have been sold, an unequal division of marital assets, an increase in alimony, a monetary award for David's contempt, and attorney's fees and costs. She denied that David should be reimbursed for the costs associated with the maintenance and sale of the marital property due to his contemptuous handling of this property. David requested in his brief that he be reimbursed $ 31,866.08 in expenses before the proceeds were divided between the parties and an additional $ 19,097.63 from Nancy's share of the marital property. He denied that he should be held in contempt or that Nancy was entitled to the amounts she requested for her portion of the marital livestock.
On January 17, 2018, the circuit court entered an order finding that, after considering our decision in Moore I and the
pleadings, testimony, and exhibits introduced on remand, Nancy was entitled to an unequal distribution of marital property and should receive $ 250,000 in addition to her one-half share of the marital assets; David should be held in contempt for his handling of the marital livestock and his failure to present for sale those animals previously determined to be marital livestock; Nancy was entitled to $ 43,833.32 for her portion of the marital livestock and $ 30,281.95 for her share of the offspring of the marital livestock; David was entitled to the $ 2,382.74 he placed into the registry of the court for the January 2017 sale of eight calves, which were not marital livestock; Nancy's award of $ 5,000 per month in alimony would remain the same; David's requests for reimbursement were denied, with the exception of the real-estate taxes on Granny's Place, the loan payments of $ 30,466.08 on Granny's Place, and the appeal costs in Moore I ; and Nancy was awarded $ 3,000 in attorney's fees and costs due to David's contempt and the equities in the case. The court distributed the $ 336,105.34 in marital funds remaining in the registry of the court and issued Nancy a judgment against David in the amount of $ 77,977.34, plus interest.
On January 26, 2018, David filed a motion for reconsideration or modification of the circuit court's order, which was deemed denied after thirty days. He filed a timely notice of appeal on March 1, 2018, from both the January 17, 2018 order and the ...

Q: Interactive menu (autocomplete) in bash with dialog(1) So we can use dialog --menu ... to make a menu. And we can quick select the option by first letter of the tag. I want dialog to register keystrokes and perform the autocomplete. E.g. we have 3 options:

*

*Apply migrations

*Create new branch

*Exterminate

If I fill the textbox (a field which is supposed to be filled to perform the autocomplete) something like ter, then menu options shrink just to one option

*

*Exterminate

So then I can just hit tab and select this option (or navigate using arrows if there are more options)
How? :)

A: dialog accepts the first character of labels (when in lists such as checkboxes) as a shortcut, and will cycle through matches if the character corresponds to multiple rows.
The feature is mentioned in documentation for the program and its library as abbreviation, e.g., (library):

dlg_button_to_char
Find  the first uppercase character in the label, which we may use
  for an abbreviation.  If the label is empty,  return  -1.   If  no
  uppercase  character  is  found,  return  0.  Otherwise return the
  uppercase character.
Normally dlg_draw_buttons and  dlg_char_to_button  use  the  first
  uppercase  character.   However,  they  keep  track  of all of the
  labels and if the first has already been used  in  another  label,
  they  will continue looking for another uppercase character.  This
  function does not have enough information to make that check.

It does not do autocompletion (doing that would require an additional window).

but the problem is some views automatically extend itself, I would like to align them left and right without extending them.

A: The views are recycled so after you scroll a while the rules
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT);
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT);

are stacked on one view resulting in stretched view.
Why don't you replace the inefficient RelativeLayout with a simple-to-understand FrameLayout and work with gravity instead?
final FrameLayout.LayoutParams params = (FrameLayout.LayoutParams) holder.itemBOdy.getLayoutParams();
params.gravity = GravityCompat.START; // or GravityCompat.END
holder.itemBOdy.setLayoutParams(params);

A: the best way is to have cell layout so that you can align items left/right inside cell:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/layout_msg_container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tv_message"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"

</LinearLayout>

and in view holder you can change left/right alignment of content by android:gravity property of parent layout (layout_msg_container in this case).
LinearLayout layoutContainer = itemView.findViewById(R.id.layout_msg_container);
layoutContainer.setGravity(Gravity.END);

or
layoutContainer.setGravity(Gravity.START);

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday said he would keep pressing Saudi Arabia on civil liberties amid a major diplomatic dispute but also offered an apparent olive branch, saying the kingdom had made some progress on human rights.
Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir - infuriated by Canada's demand last week that jailed rights activists be released immediately - said earlier on Wednesday that there was no room for mediation, adding that Ottawa knew what it needed to do to "fix its big mistake."
Riyadh on Sunday froze new trade with Canada and expelled the Canadian ambassador. It also ended state-backed educational and medical programmes in Canada.
Trudeau - who referred to the matter as "a diplomatic difference of opinion" - told reporters in Montreal that Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland had held a long conversation with her Saudi counterpart on Tuesday, but gave no details.
"Diplomatic talks continue ... we don't want to have poor relations with Saudi Arabia. It is a country that has great significance in the world, that is making progress in the area of human rights," he said.
"But we will continue underscoring challenges where and when they exist, in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere," he continued.
On Friday, Canada expressed concern over the arrests of activists in Saudi Arabia, including prominent women's rights campaigner Samar Badawi.
Jubeir said the kingdom was still "considering additional measures" against Canada, but did not elaborate. Canadian investments in Saudi Arabia were still ongoing and would not be affected by the dispute, he said.
The central bank did not immediately respond to a Reuters query for comment. Canada's foreign ministry said it was seeking clarity from the Saudi Arabian government.
But the row threatens to slow Riyadh's foreign investment drive, a campaign already unsettled by a series of assertive foreign policy initiatives by the top oil exporter.
"Saudi Arabia simply cannot afford to alienate any other sections of the global community in the midst of its unpopular military engagement in Yemen, its indirect confrontation with Iran," commentator Jamal Khashoggi wrote in the Washington Post.
In addition to the trade freeze, Riyadh has stopped sending patients to Canadian hospitals and told hundreds of trainee doctors to leave Canada with only weeks' notice.
Saudi authorities also suspended educational exchanges, and moved Saudi scholars to other countries. Saudi's state airline said it was suspending flights to and from Toronto.
Saudi Arabia's main state wheat-buying agency told grains exporters it will no longer accept Canadian-origin grains in international tenders, European traders said.
