This wonderful resin is wild-harvested by hand by our friend and artisan distiller who distills our Engelmann Spruce, Ponderosa Pinecone, Sage and Rabbit Brush essential oils.
This is a traditional and sacred incense from the Southwestern US. These large pieces of Pinon Pine resin resonate a beautiful warm and fresh sweet pine fragrance when burned on a charcoal. The qualities that this resin bring are peace and balance. It clears negative energy from one's aura & environment. It is great for energetic protection, mental protection and strength.
This locally and ecologically harvested resin comes from the native Pinon Pine trees that are native to our area. Many people are familiar with the pinon pine nuts, but burning this resin is another way to feel connected to the beauty of nature and the Pinon Pine trees!
How to Burn Resins: Light the charcoal with matches or lighter for about 20 seconds until it self-ignites. Use tongs to hold it up (never hold it with your fingers alone or you might get burned). Place the lit charcoal in a bowl or any incense burner. The bowl or incense burner should be filled with sand or dirt. Let the charcoal warm for a few minutes. (It turns gray around the edges when it is ready) Now you are ready! Add a small amount of resin on top of the charcoal. The resin will burn and soon release essential, aromatic oils through the smoke. Continue to place resins or powder on charcoal as they burn out and smoke decreases for a continuous burning.


Prince George's County's transforming neighborhoods initiative has contributed to positive results through a CountyStat program focused on gathering and analyzing information from 3-1-1 calls and other sources.
The National Association of Counties article, Building Trust: Performance Metrics in Counties, profiles performance management programs in county governments in Maryland, North Carolina, and Illinois.
Counties across the country are in a continuous process of performance improvement. From running local health departments to overseeing elections, counties deliver a variety of services and represent an industry of half a trillion dollars in annual operations. Performance metrics have become especially important for counties in face of rising state and federal mandates, decreasing funding shared by states with counties and multiplying state limitations on counties' ability to raise revenue.
The presentation by Prince George's CountyStat Director Ben Birge shared several ways that his county program has been able to deliver results, including public safety and customer service outcomes.
Prince George's CountyStat program offers service improvements based on data analysis.
MACo's Summer Conference will include an Open Government and Data Work Group Roundtable, led by Mike Morello of the Governor's Office of Performance Improvement, and Ben Birge of Prince George's County Stat.
The conversation at MACo will include insight into how counties can improve outcomes and increase efficiency with existing resources and select the best targets for results from county performance tracking.
The National Association of Counties survey found that data collection and metric identification to be top hurdles to county government performance improvement programs.
The Round Table will be held on Wednesday, August 15, from 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm at the Roland E Powell Convention Center in Ocean City, MD. To attend the Open Government Work Group Round Table, register for the MACo Summer Conference. Daily registration options are available.


SIX cats and dogs currently based at Margaret Green Animal Rescue are looking for their homes.
Five-year-old cat, Nikita, was formerly a stray and is described as an affectionate girl who also likes her own space. She should be fine to live with a cat friendly dog and older children but would prefer to be the only cat.
Stevie, the seven-year-old cat, is very friendly and loves to meet and greet people. She should be fine to live with children but would need to be the only pet.
Another cat looking for a home is Andy. He is eight-years-old and has recently had an operation as he eye was very poorly but he's healing well. He might be able to live with older children and would need to be the only pet.
Three-year-old Greyhound, Blaze, is incredibly affectionate and loves cuddles. He would prefer not to live with cats but could live with another medium to large dog and older children.
Mikey is an ex-racing Greyhound who is "very affectionate, happy and fun loving." He can live with a female dog and older children but not cats or small furries.
Finally, there's Whiskey. A two-and-a-half-year-old female Greyhound who enjoys cuddle time and gets very happy when people give her attention.
To rehome any of the dogs call 01929 471340 and for the cats call 01929 480474.

Q: Splitting matrix multiplication using einsum I have a large data matrix and I want calculate the similarity matrix of that large matrix but due to memory limitation I want to split the calculation.
Lets assume I have following: For the example I have taken a smaller matrix
data1 = data/np.linalg.norm(data,axis=1)[:,None]

(Pdb) data1
array([[ 0.        ,  0.        ,  0.        , ...,  0.        ,
         0.        ,  0.        ],
       [ 0.        ,  0.        ,  0.        , ...,  0.        ,
         0.        ,  0.        ],
       [ 0.04777415,  0.00091094,  0.01326067, ...,  0.        ,
         0.        ,  0.        ],
       ...,
       [ 0.        ,  0.01503281,  0.00655707, ...,  0.        ,

         0.        ,  0.        ]])

They I try to do following:
similarity_matrix[n1:n2,m1:m2] = np.einsum('ik,jk->ij', data1[n1:n2,:], data1[m1:m2,:])

n1,n2,m1,m2 been calculated as follows: (df is a data frame)
data = df.values
m, k = data.shape
n1=0; n2=m/2; m1=n2+1; m2=m;

But the error is:
(Pdb) similarity_matrix[n1:n2,m1:m2] = np.einsum('ik,jk->ij', data1[n1:n2,:], data1[m1:m2,:])
*** NameError: name 'similarity_matrix' is not defined

A: Didn't you do something like
similarity_matrix = np.empty((N,M),dtype=float)

at the start of your calculations?
You can't index an array, on right or left side of an equation, before you create it.
If that full (N,M) matrix is too big for memory, then just assign your einsum value to another variable, and work with that.
partial_matrix = np.einsum...

How you relate that partial_matrix to the virtual similarity_matrix is a different issue.

Friends, I have a confession to make: I don't have a Hogwarts House. I have never bothered to don the Sorting Hat, officially or otherwise. I have not taken any of the myriad quizzes that will tell me my house based on my favorite book, my childhood role models, my Meyers-Briggs personally type, or any other personal attribute, real or imagined.
Believe me, this is not because I do not love Harry Potter. I love Harry Potter! And it's not because I'm stubborn or because I don't want to be part of a fandom. I am 100% behind anyone who wants to know their house. If forced, I'd place myself in Hufflepuff, but to be perfectly honest, until writing this sentence, I have literally spent less than ten minutes of my life thinking about this. I just don't care.
As a lifelong nerd and fantasy lover, and as someone who spends a lot of time in the bookish world (both on the internet and in real life), my houselessness comes up more often than you might think. Bookstagrammers, booktubers, and book bloggers proudly proclaim their Hogwarts house on their profiles and webpages. It's a great conversation starter. When you have as many beautifully nerdy and book-obsessed friends as me, it's just assumed that you know your house and will happily high-five your fellow Ravenclaws or Slytherins at parties.
But despite having to explain that I don't have a Hogwarts house when asked about it by well-meaning friends and acquaintances, I can't manufacture any desire to immerse myself in Harry Potter fandom. This isn't an attack on fandom. I was a weird, book-obsessed kid. I grew up on Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings and role-playing games. I know that fandoms, of all kinds, provide a deep sense of connection and community, especially for young people who feel alone or misunderstood in the real world. Like anything that involves large groups of humans, Harry Potter fandom has its problems, but as far as I know, on the whole, it is more affirming than alienating.
So it's not the idea of getting sorted that irks me. It's just that I'm not built to be a fan. It's not the way I relate with the things I love. I think about this every time I see a new article about Harry Potter or see a new sorting quiz and find myself, once again, totally uninterested. Are there really only two options—fan, or hater? What about the rest of us?
I only have a vague sense of what Pottermore is. I've never dressed up as a Harry Potter character. I've seen pictures of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and it looks cool, but it's not on my top ten list of places to go. I haven't read anything Harry Potter–related beyond the seven original books. I wasn't planning on seeing the new movie, even before I learned that, infuriatingly, Dumbledore will be straight-washed.
But I have read the whole series five times, and dipped in and out of it countless more. I did stay up all night back in 2007 when the last book came out, refusing to leave my room until I'd finished it. Harry Potter is not my favorite book in the world, but I do love it. It has delighted and inspired and moved me. The series was a part of my adolescence and it informs who I am as an adult. I may not be a fan, but does that mean I have any less claim to Harry Potter than those who are?
What I've finally realized is that there are a thousand ways to love Harry Potter. You can love it by decorating your bedroom in your house colors. You can love it by rereading the series every year. You can love it by cosplaying Harry Potter characters every chance you get, immersing yourself in Pottermore, or writing kickass fanfic. You can love it by reading it to your kids or because you re-watch the movies every time you're sick. You can even love it simply because you read the books once and they made you smile.
So, to all the lovely Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, Slytherins, and Gryffindors out there, I am so glad you have found your house. May your Quidditch teams always win and your hourglasses in the Great Hall overflow with jewels. Seriously, you are the best. But to my fellow Hogwarts houseless: please remember that you are still allowed to be head-over-heels in love with Harry Potter. You don't need have a house—or even want one—to claim your place in the wizarding world. You still belong, and you are not alone.

Learning happens through diverse activities in school. This includes individual and group activities.
Mixed group usually represent really better and thus prepares children better.
This is the process to help evaluate the child better by continuous day-to day monitoring and feedback.
Various educational field trips are organised related to the topic.
Activities and competitions are organized to make each and every child try hi hands on all aspects and gain confidence.
Play way method of learning is a child centric method where the method of teaching is informal and natural to suit the child's interests. Our belief learning is best through play activities.
We make teaching more lively and interesting. We teach languages, mathematics, social studies etc through a series of activities like games, songs, free play, gardening, construction activities etc. The learning is not just limited to cognitive development, but also for the overall development of the child. A few methods and techniques included in this method are Role plays, Projects; Theme based learning, Field trips, Puppetry etc.
At our schools we also follow some level of formal learning as well, to ensure that the child is ready for the primary education.

Working poor advocate honored
By Nancy McCarthy
When Joan Messing Graff was growing up on Long Island, her family's commitment to social justice permeated her life. Her father was a lawyer who loved his profession, her mother was an activist who in the 1950s led an effort to organize "domestic workers" to register to vote and later worked with Amnesty International.
Graff's sister grew up to establish an international adoption agency and her brother to be a labor lawyer. Graff also became a lawyer and has devoted her 39-year career to resolving employment issues that beset the working poor.
For that unswerving devotion to helping others, Graff will receive the 2006 Loren Miller Legal Services Award this month at the State Bar's Annual Meeting in Monterey.
The award, created in 1977, is the bar's highest honor and is given annually to an attorney who has demonstrated a long-term commitment to legal services and personally done significant work in extending legal services to the poor.
Graff said she is embarrassed by the attention and sees working in the legal services community as a privilege. "I feel very, very lucky," she said. "I feel I should be the one giving the award."
Graff has been executive director of the Legal Aid Society of San Francisco-Employment Law Center (LAS-ELC) since 1981, the first woman to lead the 90-year-old organization, which provides direct legal services to the working poor, including free legal clinics in San Francisco, San Jose and Berkeley. Its work has expanded over those years from general legal aid to a wider focus on employment law assistance for the working poor, covering issues that include wage and hour violations, unemployment compensation, family and medical leave, public school access for disabled students and discrimination based on disability, parenthood and sexual orientation.
"As a result of her leadership," wrote Robert Dell, chair of the LAS-ELC board, "the society has improved the lives and economic self-sufficiency of hundreds of thousands of working poor individuals and families and achieved positive changes for low-wage workers on a systemic level."
In the last 25 years, the society has won cases covering discrimination based on pregnancy, sex, accent and disabilities. A 1996 landmark decision held that undocumented workers have standing to bring retaliation claims against employers who report them to the INS. In 2001, it won a case that found unlawful the state's practice of requiring job applicants to complete non-job related medical questionnaires.
It also has backed legislation and launched numerous initiatives created to assist or protect low-income workers.
Asked what she considers her greatest achievement, Graff was quick to credit the Legal Aid Society rather than herself for any accomplishments. It is the staff, volunteers and board that have enabled the organization to survive without federal funding and to be flexible and creative enough to evolve over time, she said. She credited the board of directors with being consistently loyal and said the staff is "very, very talented and very visionary."
She said the clients also inspire her with their "enormous dignity and their enormous hope that the law will be fair to them and their trust that we'll do what we can."
After graduating from Columbia Law School in 1967, Graff went to work in Washington, D.C., at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, then in its infancy. She moved to San Francisco in 1970 and began to work as a part-time volunteer for Davis, Dunlap and Williams, and with its three partners co-founded Equal Rights Advocates (ERA) in 1974.
Focusing on the problems of low-wage women workers, Graff and her co-counsel litigated cases on behalf of women seeking entry into blue collar work, the skilled trades and other then-non-traditional jobs. ERA also worked on women's health issues, and during the Carter Administration, Graff was appointed as a consumer representative to an FDA committee on obstetrics and gynecology shortly before toxic shock syndrome struck women.
By the time she was named head of the LAS-ELC in 1981, Graff had more than a decade of experience in employment discrimination under her belt. But while her career was in good shape, the Legal Aid Society was not. It was near bankruptcy, in arrears for past due Social Security payments in excess of $300,000, and the offices were located in a ramshackle building with non-working toilets and an elevator that functioned only occasionally. There were no contemporaneous time records to support a fee petition for a recently concluded massive class action case.
Annual donations totaled just over $87,000, and the staff consisted of four lawyers and four support staff.
"Despite the darkness of those days," wrote William Alsup, a board member for 20 years, "Joan shone brightly. The drab surroundings seemed to dazzle with her there. Spirits rose. Slowly and steadily, Joan steered the society out of immediate danger and set a course to make the society ground zero for public interest law."
Today, LAS-ELC has a staff of 30 with 13 lawyers, more than 100 volunteers and interpreters and more than 100 law student interns. It raises more than $2.6 million a year in donations.
Although the need for legal services has never abated, Graff said, the ongoing problems of the working poor drive her to continue her work. "I fiercely believe in the need for what we do," she said. "You sort of put (the problems) into pieces you can manage and do the best you can and hope you're making a difference."

Accused child abuser waives arraignment
A pre-trial conference for a Richmond man facing a charge of first degree child abuse has been scheduled for 9 a.m. March 30 in Macomb County Circuit Court in Mount Clemens.
Allen Wayne Keck, 40, waived arraignment during a circuit court hearing on Monday. Judge James Maceroni entered a not guilty plea for Keck.
The felony first-degree child abuse charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison.
Keck is in the Macomb County jail on a $150,000 cash surety bond.
The charge stems from a March 10, 2016 incident in Richmond involving his then-3-month-old daughter who had a broken femur and broken skull.
Keck previously had been imprisoned on second-degree murder charges involving the death of a child in Monroe County.
According to state records, Keck pleaded no contest on April 20, 1994, in Monroe County to a second-degree murder charge stemming from an incident on Dec. 14, 1993.
The Monroe News reported in 1994 that Keck's 3-month-old daughter, Toni Joann Keck, died on Dec. 14, 1993, of blunt force trauma to the stomach. He was 16 at the time but was sentenced as an adult.
He was released from prison on Aug. 8, 2013, and was on parole until Aug. 8, 2015.

Kennebunkport: Fluoride proposal stalls
Source: SeacoastOnline.com | July 31st, 2014 | By Jennifer Feals
Location: United States, Maine
The Kennebunkport Board of Selectmen was scheduled to discuss a proposed warrant article asking voters to consider removing fluoride from the Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Wells Water District July 24, but learned the proposal is no longer moving forward.
Residents have taken the proposal to a number of the seven towns within the KKWWD and would need at least four of those towns to support placing the question on the November ballot in order for it to move forward. A total of seven towns receive water from the district — Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Arundel, Wells, Ogunquit and parts of Biddeford and York.
Kennebunkport Town Manager Laurie Smith said that organizers requested the agenda item be removed from the board's meeting, stating that "the other towns were not voting to bring it forward."
"We would not need to act on this until the next gubernatorial year," Smith said.
The topic of fluoride has sparked debate at meetings in recent weeks with proponents of its removal saying it is a "pollutant" and local dentists saying there are benefits to fluoride in drinking water.
Micky Bergman, one of the organizers behind the proposal for a warrant article on the November ballot, said separately that it "became obvious that due to the timing of the process and the lack of fluoridation awareness, we were not going to meet our objective."
"Some selectmen seemed genuinely amenable to the idea of allowing a warrant article, while others felt pressured and were resistant to making any decisions. We wanted citizens to have the opportunity to make an informed vote at this time," Bergman said. "Fortunately, fluoridation is being challenged in many other communities in the U.S. and Canada, so there is a great deal of awareness now. Inevitably, this controversy will result in an informed citizenry that will bring an end to this unethical practice. I have every confidence that two years from now customers of the KKWWD will demand it."

The Way of Pain
I'm going to attempt to say something sensible about Palestine and Israel here, and the odds are high that I'll mess it up. But here goes...
I visited Israel in 2016, to attend the wedding of two dear friends. James and I were their guests, witnesses, and photographers when they married at San Francisco's City Hall, and we were honored to be invited to Tel Aviv to celebrate with their friends and families. These same friends have also openly struggled with Israel's gnarly history, which indeed mandatory military service conscripted them into. They are the first to decry how fucked up all of this is. (Their unease is shared with nearly every Israeli of my generation that I've met.)
Upon arrival in Israel, the first place James and I stayed was in Sheikh Jarrah, which is the area of Jerusalem where the recent looming threat of eviction during Ramadan of Palestinian families to make way for Jewish settlers was one of the flash points for the current violence. On our way in to the ancient city from the airport, rocket fire streaked through the night sky.
When we were planning our trip, I wanted to stay in East Jerusalem. We were welcomed at the American Colony Hotel, which was beautiful, and which in name and history still frames part of my understanding of Israel's complexities: An Ottoman pasha's home, sold on to some Messianic Christians from Chicago in the 19th century, situated in the first Muslim-majority neighborhood outside of the walls of Jerusalem's Old City, and run as an oasis of neutrality for diplomats and dignitaries in a city divided.
As the march to war has been building over the past month, the place names are familiar to me, and my acquaintance with the city puts a visceral sense of place to the flashpoints. James and I walked through this quiet neighborhood to Damascus Gate, where barricades were recently put up to prevent Muslims from gathering after prayers at al-Aqsa mosque. When Israeli officers fired rubber bullets at worshippers there, and videos played of fires and bloodshed at the mosque, it stands in horrifying contrast to the day I stood there in the sunshine, watching mischievous children get scolded by their elders while parents prayed inside.
I have never been anywhere that felt as simultaneously beautiful and apocalyptic as Jerusalem. Its Old City quarters house Muslims, Jews, Christians and Armenians in relative peace, a longstanding cohabitation indeed. I walked through the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and saw over a millennium of Christian devotion rendered in Byzantine mosaic and ancient graffiti, embodied by a diversity of sectarians I don't think I will ever see again anywhere else.
But history is omnipresent, deep and bloody. I walked the path of Christ's torment en route to crucifixion, and then on to the Western Wall, crossing the skybridge over Jewish worshippers crying at the foundation of a Temple destroyed to a Muslim holy site built on its remains. Upon leaving the Temple Mount, we walked through Palestinian children firing imaginary guns at the deadly real armed Israeli soldiers, who frankly weren't much more than children themselves. I had little faith that the uneasy, imbalanced ceasefire would hold.
Let me be clear: I think that Jews deserve to feel safe, and I think the world has generally proven itself wholly untrustworthy with that. I also think that Israel has reproduced the displacement and discrimination that inspired its foundation in the first place. As an American, I see an awful familiarity between the inception of the United States and Israel's origin story; indeed, the US has explicitly helped develop the narrative of Israeli exceptionalism in a way that mirrors its own arrogance and desire to mask genocide and imperialism. I have huge problems with how both the United States and Israel came to be and continue to be, and I continue to be appalled at how the US remains complicit in the misery, displacement and oppression of Palestinians by Israel.
I also spent days refreshing my understanding of Israeli politics so I could try and briefly convey the complexity of the challenge there, and the task is genuinely beyond me. Suffice it to say, Netanyahu has been a contentious force for a decades, and during that time he has used settlers as a way to further invade Palestinian territories while also using the ensuing conflict to shore up his shaky coalitions with rightwing factions. His machinations clearly endanger Israelis, and plenty of them know it, but the incredible plurality of parties and competing agendas make it hard to actually oust him, even though he's failed to secure majorities and has been a focus of corruption investigations nearly from the start. (Americans that idolize the notion of coalition governments should do some deep reading on Israel to get a feel for how fatally stuck they can leave a country.)
As one of my Israeli friends put it at our celebration of Biden's victory, imagine what the US would be like if Trump had been in power for twenty years instead of a single (unpresidential) term. The Netanyahu years have led away from the peace process and toward war, and there will be no improvement to the situation so long as he remains in power.
So, here we are watching more death and destruction in the Holy Land. (Some sick factions of American Christianity even cheerlead this, as it's part and parcel of their End Times fetishes.) The people of Gaza are kettled on a tiny strip of land, trapped, deprived of free movement, subject to airstrikes, houses reduced to rubble amid a pandemic, bodies of children stacking up. Families in Tel Aviv are also racing for shelter, as the Iron Dome's impressive but not impervious defenses fend off rocket fire, debris raining into the Mediterranean Sea.
As we left Jerusalem to head to Tel Aviv, James and I literally drove through a fire. It started small, close to the side of the road. We had been talking to our Palestinian taxi driver about Ramallah, which we had seen from the road, and I remarked that there was a grass fire. We ended up stopped on the highway next to a large tree, because drivers in front of us had paused to gawk and take photos of the blaze. I knew that if we didn't move, the flames would be on that tree and in danger of setting our car on fire, but we couldn't go anywhere until the stopped vehicles cleared. Indeed, the fire lit up the tree next to us incredibly quickly, which scared folks in front of us badly enough to get moving. The fire was so close by the time we could move that we could feel the heat through the windows.
That sense of seeing just where the fire is heading, with nobody moving, feels like an apt metaphor for the last month of keeping up with this news. I'll never forget what it felt like to stand in the heat gazing up at the Dome of the Rock, nor the heat of that fire about to overtake our taxi.
If anyone needs me, I'll just be over here pressuring my elected officials to stop propping up warfare and hoping Netanyahu's corruption trials lead to a forced retirement sooner rather than later. More layers of trauma, bloodshed and death bring us no closer to peace.

I'm Mark Hamilton… professional lampwork glass artist. For the last 14+ years I've specialized in creating lampwork glass jewelry out of strong borosilicate glass. After experiencing the loss of 2 close friends and my big tom cat Leo, I decided to put my skills to use in the service of others who'd lost people and pets close to them.
I still create many different types of hand blown glass jewelry, but cremation jewelry is the most rewarding glass work I've done. I'm honored to be able to make beautiful creations out of hot glass that help people hold the memory of their loved ones close to their hearts.

A unique way of comboing off turn 6 in an unsuspecting way. The way the deck works is your early turns put bodies that leave behind tokens, and tocatli honor guard to slow down explore and ravenous chupacabra, a little bit of moment of craving for removal + lifegain vs. aggro. Turn 3 your ideal play is arcane adaptation, which essentially makes all your creatures demons, also some midnight reaper for card draw if they're killing things. Turn 4 we have vraska's contempt to deal with scary things, and rite of belzenlok, as it leaves behind to cleric demons, plus has some nice synergies, if we hit our demon we now have a demon and a cleric demon, if we sac hunted witness, doomed dissenter, or martyr of dusk with a midnight reaper in play, we get another token and more card draw. Turn 5 is our wincon, Liliana's contract, which gives us more card draw, and hopefully wins us the game on the next turn. We also play Lyra in the 5 slot because super powerful and lifegain, so why not.
Some weak spots for the deck I think are straight up control matches, like counterspells, if they keep countering our enchantments we're pretty much dead; I sideboard counterspells, chromium, and nezahal for those matchups...chromium is very good against control. depending on the style of control I might also bring in shalai if they have vraska's contempts or settle the wreckage. Assassin's Trophy is a little annoying, but I don't think it's honestly terribly great against us, for a few reasons...for one..if they use it on Liliana's Contract, we still get card draw, and it thins out our deck making it very plausible to find another one. Also, they're usually also scared of Lyra and Rite of Belzenlok and will usually attempt to take those out...and a lot of time they'll want to nab tocatli honor guard because he sabotages their whole strategy.
I'm not sure if I like Opt or Chemister's insight here. I'm 15-5 thus far, and 3 of those losses are on mana issues, but it's weird...screwed twice, flooded once...so I'm not certain there's actually an issue. Insight makes our curve look quite nice, and insight is really good late game at 8 mana, we can actually draw 4...but opt works well early, especially to find land....so it's very hard to say. I think one of the deck's issues is finding the pieces we need, which really shouldn't be an issue for the deck as far as I can see. with 2 insights and 4 contracts, card draw shouldn't be an issue, but that 5th mana has proven to be quite troublesome for some reason.
I took out Rite of Belzenlok and replaced with Chemister's Insight....Rite is too slow and we're often forced to chump, and insight allows us to dig.
took out sinister's sabotage, 1 golden demise, added 1 more negate and 2 Raff Capashen, Ship's Mage. Raff is really good against control.
If your'e flooded on arcane's, you can also name angel and give your team lifelink if you have lyra out.


Once your braces are in place, it is very important to maintain a good oral hygiene regimen. Braces, wires, bands and retainers can all trap food particles and make it difficult to brush or floss away plaque. Careful brushing and flossing, preferably after every meal and snack, is the best way to prevent plaque build-up, tooth decay and gum disease.
Brush teeth at least two times daily to avoid the accumulation of food particles in your teeth and braces.
Floss your teeth –Flossing takes more time and patience when you are wearing braces, but it is important to floss your teeth every day. We recommend flossing at night to make sure your teeth are clean before you go to bed.
Use a proxy brush to remove food particles stick between brackets.
Use a fluoride mouthwash, such as ACT?, every day.
Cleaning your removable appliance- Brush your removable appliance every day as a part of your regular brushing and flossing schedule. Because food particles and plaque can accumulate on your appliance just as they do on your teeth, soak the appliance daily in diluted mouthwash. If your appliance builds up plaque, you can dissolve a denture-cleaning tablet in a glass of tap water at room temperature, and soak your appliance.
This video demonstrates the proper way to brush and floss your teeth while wearing braces.

Review: Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice
Author: TGRStaff Published Date: 09/26/2008
Disgaea 3 is a turn-based strategy role-playing game from Nippon Ichi that seems to have all of its core mechanics based in insanity. Aside from the basic over-the-top game mechanics and some recurring characters, Disgaea 3 has almost nothing to do with the previous titles aside from the basic theme, story tone, and art styles.
The story revolves around a demon, Mao, convinced that becoming a hero is the only way that he can defeat his father and become an overlord; sadly, he does not understand the concepts of friendship or being noble. All levels of the game are based in an evil demon academy, where demons go to learn the traits that they will need for the rest of their lives. During the journey, Mao meets up with a slew of characters that continue to join him and begin forming his army.
One thing that has not changed since the first game is the series standard 2D sprite models with full voice acting. The sprites are fluidly animated, but can be painful to look at when viewed from the games default (and useless) camera position of roughly three inches away. When zoomed out to a functional camera angle, the game looks more stylized than dated. The voice acting is always enjoyable and manages to get across the point that none of the plot should ever be taken seriously.
A tactical RPG at its base level, Disgaea 3 differs itself from other tactics games by expecting players to exploit its resources to the fullest extent possible. The max level for Disgaea 3 rests at 9,999 with the choice to reincarnate that character, bringing them back down to level 1, and receive a bonus in the way of permanent stat increases. Characters can also literally enter any item in the game and can clear up to a hundred series of stages, each one increasing the power and level of the item. A similar process can be done for any playable character in the game as well.
The problem with all of these options is that none of them ever seems to be fully explained. Normally when a new option is given, such as the item world being unlocked, an amazingly brief tutorial is given explaining what it is and why it is important. Any further knowledge requires the player to go into the help section and read FAQs about other tidbits that can be unlocked. Even if all of this information is read and fully understood, though, there is still more content that has never once been discussed or explained.
The depth of the game starts to feel almost like a problem after the game itself is beaten. As in other Disgaea titles, this is where the real game begins. All of the extreme character leveling, item powering up, or character diving isn't ever once needed to finish the main story, but after the game is done, that is almost all any player can expect to be doing. While this edition of the game has possibly the most well-placed end-game goals, boss battles, and unlockable characters/weapons, new players might see all of the end game content as impossible and not worth their time as it can take hundreds of hours to reach. Also, good luck finding out about any of this content without some form of players guide for reference; most of it is never discussed in the game proper.
Even though Disgaea 3 manages to explain all of the depth of the game poorly to the player, it does manage to do so in such a way that makes the games feel mysterious. When event cubes start appearing in the item world or the Dark World is unlocked, it feels like an entirely new depth of the game appears springing the game to another level of tasty complexity. This causes the game feels as if it evolves the more time is invested in it, making the entire game feel like a very rewarding puzzle.
The problem is that it is a love letter written to the dedicated fans, but no one else. It makes very few exceptions for people who are new to the series, even leaving out information on things that have changed since the last game. But for all of its flaws, the game manages to be one of the most hardcore role-playing games around, and if the time is put into figuring out the true depth, then Disgaea 3 becomes possibly one of the most enjoyable experiences on the PlayStation 3.

Based on 2 Corinthians 4: 10-11: "Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh."
Encouraging, honest, touching, teaching. This is a wonderful booklet to give to those struggling for Christ or those who need to be doing that. May God use it to bring us closer.
A very helpful booklet for Christians. The Lord has had to break me many, many times and sometimes satan wants us to believe that we are being "punished." Not so---it is to make us the "broken vessels" that He can use. A wonderful re-affirming booklet as we grow in Jesus Christ and live a truly broken life.

Q: Cambiar elemento en una Application Estoy trabajando la libreria de altbeacon usando beacons de fondo
la uso para obtener eventos con firebase, cuando esta de fondo notifica los eventos que estén programadas el mismo día, cuando esta abierta muestra los eventos en un recycler view, necesito que cuando se salga de la region de los beacon cambie la pantalla de eventos, pero desde una clase que extiende de Application no puedo acceder a los elementos con  findViewById, intente con
 View v = View.inflate(getApplicationContext(),R.layout.activity_event_list,null);

dentro de didExitRegion pero cualquier cambio que haga con v.findViewById.set algo no funciona
tuve que crear un método estático en la Activity y usar un activity estático
private static Activity activity = null;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    ....
    activity = this;
....
 public static void changeList() {
    if (activity==null){
        return;
    }

    RecyclerView rv = activity.findViewById(R.id.lista_eventos);
    if (rv != null) {
        if (NotificationService3.estado) {
            rv.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        } else {
            rv.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        }
    }
}

entonces dentro del método didExitRegion y el onCreate de la Activity llamo la función estática,probé también con pasare al método un contex para cree la view con un inflate, por parámetro pero ya sea llamado en la activity o en la application no resulta

A: Hola en lugar de usar metodos static te recomiendo que uses una interfaz.
Creas una interfaz para que con uno o dos metodos y haces que el Activity implemente la interfaz, luego le pasas esa interfaz al Application desde el Activity. Finalmente, cuando cae en didExitRegion llamas al metodo que necesites de esa interfaz.
Deberia quedar algo asi el Application:
public class MyApplication exteds Application {

   public RegionInterface mRegionInterface;

   @Override
   public void didExitRegion(Region arg0) {
      if (mRegionInterface!=null) mRegionInterface.regionChanged();
   }

   public interface RegionInterface {
      void regionChanged();
   }
}

Y en el activity tendrias que poner esto:
public class MyActivity extends Activity implement RegionInterface {

   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

      MyApplication myApplication = (MyApplication)getApplication();
      myApplication.mRegionInterface = this;
   }

   @Override
   protected void onDestroy() {
      super.onDestroy();
      //Super importante para que no explote
      MyApplication myApplication = (MyApplication)getApplication();
      myApplication.mRegionInterface = null;
   }

   @Override
   public void regionChanged(){
      //Aca pones el codigo que necesites para cambiar las vistas del activity
   }
}

Usando esto siempre podras tener una comunicacion entre el Application y el Activity sin problema, no solo para este caso puntual sino siempre que necesites pasar algun dato o atrapes algun evento.


I need to modify some organizationnal value for a thousand roles.
The problem consists of copy some thousand roles with a different value on organizationnal level (Plant, company code, sales organization,...).
We're setting up a new site in a new region with the same functionnality.
Another idea ? I'm thinking about CATT but i'm not used on that tool.
What version of SAP are you on?
changing org. values with either CATT or LSMW will present you with some hard to overcome problems.
you could possibly use table AGR_1252 which stores the org. values for all roles.
you need to remember though, that you are directly updating tables when going for the AGR_1252 approach, which has its own pros and cons.
also, in hindsight you could conclude that using the derived role principle could maybe have saved you alot of time.
> > Look for lines starting with AGR_1252 and keep in mind the file is fixed record length so if the original and new values differ in length you'll need to add spaces to the either the searchstring or the replacestring.
> lol, I was bitten by that one a few years back. Luckily I was just messing about in a sandbox.
As a protection I wrote some VBA code that reads the download into an excelsheet, splitting it per table and field. In there I mess around with the values and reconstruct the file with VBA again, restoring all record lengths to their original spec.
Seeing the response from the original poster and guesstimating the experience level let me please take back my advice to meddle with downloads.
Waouh, thanks a lot for your rapid reponses.
We're on 4.6C and we are working on upgrade to ECC6.
I try to use derived roles, but there are some roles with different functions. I mean the thousand roles represent a thousand parent roles. In this company, there are around 10 thousands roles (parent and derived roles included).
I'm not sure if we try to develop an abap program we have enough time to copy and update all roles. The go-live is approximately in three weeks. I'm not expert on abap and developers seem to be very busy.
If I try to develop the program myself, how many time do you think i can finish it ? I've never used abap in my life :=( , but I can understand a program if comments are clear.
I think your suggestion is the best method to do it. I've just consulted the SAP help and using CATT is the solution. I remember how to use it.
I'll give it a go !!!
thanks for your participation gurus !!
Very useful and pragmatic responses.
I can imagine that if something is possible and Alex & Jurjen say they have done it, then you are in good company here.

Q: PHP Fatal error: Cannot access parent:: when current class scope has no parent in cakephp 3.x I have found the above issue in cakephp 3.x.
namespace App\Controller;

class UsersController extends AppController
{
    public function index()
    {
        $users = $this->Users->find('all');
        print_r($users); // <-- print_r creates a problem in cakephp 3.x
        $this->set('users', $users);
    }
}

And i have run this above code and i found the following error:
Error: Cannot access parent:: when current class scope has no parent
File /var/www/html/cakephp-3-1-5/vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/ORM/Query.php
Line: 1018

This error comes because of print_r. I have also tried pr, var_dump but same issue exist.
And then after commenting print_r, it shut down apache and displays "The connection was reset" and then i need to restart my apache service and after that it works proper.
So the problem with this is i think print_r. But i don't know what actually problem is because as a developer i need to debug my resultset. And here it restrict me to use print_r, pr and var_dump.
My purpose is to display resultset.
Resultset
(int) 0 => object(Cake\ORM\Entity) {

    'id' => (int) 1,
    'title' => 'Distance between two addresses using Google Maps API and PHP',

}

Is it problem in cakephp 3.x?
Is cakephp 3.x stable release?
And can i used it as development framework or go with previous version like 2.x?
Thanks.

A: After doing some of the research, i have found that there is some Segmentation fault in cakephp 3.x till now. So we can use pj($var) or debug($var) in place of print_r(), pr().
Thanks for your approach.

Filmmakers and D.C. leaders join Comcast NBCUniversal for a special screening and discussion of 'A Most Beautiful Thing'
By Dalila Wilson-Scott | Oct 23, 2020
The West Side of Chicago probably isn't the first place you think of when the sport of rowing comes to mind. But the film A Most Beautiful Thing, a documentary based on a memoir penned by Arshay Cooper, tells the inspiring story of five men from the West Side experiencing the transformative power of sport, forming impenetrable bonds, and making history as the nation's first all-Black high school rowing team.
As a native of the South Side of Chicago, this film and story have a special place in my heart, and I was honored to join Representative Danny Davis, Congressman of Illinois' 7th district and Co-Chair of the Caucus on Black Men and Boys, and Dr. Wayne A.I. Frederick, President of Howard University, to discuss themes from the film including the power of community, the effects of trauma, and the importance of representation in sports.
Dalila Wilson-Scott, EVP & Chief Diversity Officer, Comcast; Representative Danny Davis; and Dr. Wayne A.I. Frederick, Howard University discuss 'A Most Beautiful Thing'.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker and Olympic rower Mary Mazzio, executive produced by NBA stars Grant Hill and Dwyane Wade, and narrated by Academy Award and Grammy-winning artist Common, the film highlights the benefits of privilege, access, and opportunity – and shines a light on the realities of life with barriers to those instruments of safety and catalysts to success.
In the conversation moderated by Mike Tirico of NBC Sports, Mary, Grant, and Arshay shared pivotal lessons learned during the production of the film, as well as their motivation to bring the story of Manley High's history-making crew team to the big screen:
Mike Tirico, NBC Sports; Mary Mazzio, Director and Founder & CEO, 50 Eggs; Arshay Cooper, Author & Manley Crew Team Captain; and Grant Hill, Executive Producer and NBA Star discuss 'A Most Beautiful Thing'.
Arshay also shared raw reflections on his upbringing and how it's shaped his journey:
Mike Tirico, NBC Sports; Mary Mazzio, Director and Founder & CEO, 50 Eggs; Arshay Cooper, Author & Manley Crew Team Captain; and Grant Hill, Executive Producer and NBA Star discuss 'A Most Beautiful Thing'.
At Comcast NBCUniversal we recognize the importance of and demand for representative and authentic narratives - stories that depict real experiences and feature diverse casts. We are committed to continuing to do our part to bring more inclusive stories to audiences wherever they may be – from the big screen to screens at home.
This summer, Peacock debuted several original documentaries highlighting Black voices and Black stories including 'Anthony', 'The Sit-In: Harry Belafonte Hosts The Tonight Show', and 'Black Boys', a documentary film that celebrates the full humanity of Black men and boys in America.
I was honored to virtually host this special evening celebrating such an impactful and empowering film. You can watch the entire Comcast NBCUniversal A Most Beautiful Thing discussion here. And, please check out A Most Beautiful Thing for free on Peacock and share your reaction on social media using #AMostBeautifulThing.

Nobody has given me a sensible reason to keep my clothes on!
Issues with body confidence are a part of everyday life… but not for this 68 year old.
Meet Richard
Issues with body confidence are part of everyday life for many these days, but there are some who are more comfortable in their own skin.
When we arrived at Richard's campsite on the outskirts of Bristol, he greets us at the gate with a beaming smile and a self-assurance that comes with age… and probably naturism.
It becomes clear from the start that Richard is at peace with who he is and what he looks like, as he strides around in the buff, tending to his patch of land. But where does all that body confidence come from?
'I don't know what came first, the freedom or the naturism. I think it comes from my upbringing. My parents weren't naturists but they didn't have complexes about their bodies. I never had that initial hang up that being naked was somehow funny. I think youngsters particularly nowadays have big issues about body image, which is an awful shame because we change shape as we go through life.'
After a life working in high powered office-based positions, Richard now splits his time between his home by the harbour in Bristol and his naturist campsite, cutting hedges, laying bricks, and tending to his plot of vegetables.
'When I was about 50-55, I gave up full time working and could really do the things I wanted to do. Things have become less stressful and that's made a huge difference. I mean, this is work to a certain extent – I'm lugging things around and doing manual labour but it isn't work for me because I'm not stressed.'
But it's not just the campsite that takes up his time. Richard still drives HGVs around Europe, as well as being a life model.
'I've been modelling for over 50 years! I had a girlfriend when I was in my teens and she wanted to draw me. I suppose there's an exhibitionist in me so it grew from there… and people are still happy to pay me to take my clothes off! I think that's wonderful at 68. (grins)'
Despite his young-at-heart attitude to life, Richard still talks about funeral planning with his wife.
'My wife says to me "your funeral is going to be so easy to arrange – you'll go into a wickerwork coffin with no clothes on!" (laughs)… and we'll probably have an open lid!'
So, why is he a naturist?
'People are always asking me why I'm a naturist! I'm rebellious. I'm a rebel. If someone tells me that you mustn't do that, unless there's a logical reason why, I kinda go "no, that's stupid". It's not about taking my clothes off; it's just that no one has given me a sensible reason for keeping them on!'
It was rebellion which made him open up his land to other naturists, after a fellow naturist explained that planning permission wasn't needed if he registered the campsite with British Naturism
'I thought "wow, that'll really go down well with the parish council!" (laughs) and that's how it started! We've had people from Holland, we've had people from all over… It's slowly building up and it takes time but it's fun.'
It becomes clear quickly that having fun sits high on Richard's list of priorities these days, and we couldn't agree with him more.
'One of my old bosses said to me one day "when it stops being fun, stop doing it." And he's absolutely right. Nothing's hard work if you're enjoying it, nothing's a pain if it's fun.'

Abstract: From ancient times, Greek religion introduced Elysium as a heavenly place to which admission was exclusively reserved for mortals related to gods, heroes, and those blessed by gods. We argue that the rise of artificial intelligence technology will lead to the creation of Elysium cities. Elysium cities agents will be technologists, technocrats, intelligent machines, and wealthy capitalists. These cities will be the first embracers of the artificial intelligence technology and will do so by incorporating five capabilities: physical, intellectual, information, governance, and socio-economic. As early adopters, these cities will acquire tremendous political and economic power and will turn into self-governing city-states. During the early stages of the AI revolution, these Elysium cities will shed millions of unemployed via a process we call De-tech Migration. De-tech cities will be the recipients of the labor migration from the Elysium cities and will rapidly become and remain impoverished. This article presents key policy suggestions that can be adopted by companies and governments to avoid potential decline and find new pathways towards growth and prosperity in an artificial intelligence economy.

There is an entity such that it must always lift a weight; and such that it must, and by this means, at some time increase in its mass.
If a first entity can follow a path such that Law 1 is satisfied; and if a second entity can follow the same path to the same effect; then the first and second entities are equivalent.
The sum of all the paths that satisfy Law 2 constitutes the allowed set for the entity and its equivalents; while that which permits them to satisfy Law 1 constitutes the required set.
In the allowed set is at least one path such that mass is surrendered, and such that a further entity possessing the required set, and satisfying these four laws, results.

GSB conference inspires women to support cause
When women support each other and work together, they can achieve so much more and make a powerful and meaningful impact. This was dramatically illustrated at the recent University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business (UCT GSB) Women in Business Conference last week.
After listening to the address by local businesswoman Shona McDonald, founder of Shonaquip, one delegate spontaneously offered to donate her subsidised conference parking allocation of R20 to Shonaquip, a company that provides devices and mobile community-based wheelchair solutions that have changed the lives of 74 000 children. This prompted other delegates to put up their hands, saying they wanted their R20 donated to the company as well. It was then agreed that all the parking subsidies would go to Shonaquip, raising R5 000 on-the-spot for the company.
Kumeshnee West, UCT GSB Acting Director of Executive Education and MC at the event was speechless. "I am not often lost for words," she admitted, telling delegates how delighted she was at their decision to support Shonaquip.
McDonald was one of the key speakers at the 15th Women in Business Conference, which is organised annually by students in the Women in Business Society at the school. Profits from the ticket sales are traditionally allocated to a scholarship fund to support financially disadvantaged women to study at the GSB.
MacDonald's story of how she as an ordinary mother and housewife became a successful businesswoman advising local government on policy and working with the World Health Organisation moved delegates deeply. She told how she became inspired to help disabled children after her second daughter was born with cerebral palsy and doctors told her to put her child in an institution. "How did I get to where I am today? Not without a lot of pain," she said.
Some of the other speakers at the conference were Chief Investment Officer and founder of investment company Perpetua, Delphine Govender, TV and film company owner TV and film company owner Vuyokazi Matu, and renowned SA businesswoman Wendy Appelbaum.
All three spoke around the theme of the conference title "The Power Within – Living a Full Colour Life" and emphasisedhow important it is for women not to criticise and undermine each other but to create opportunities for fellow women in their various industries.
Another important message of the day was that success is not only about amassing wealth, but also about the legacy left behind and whether the world was changed for the better. This idea of creating meaning and adding value in addition to making profit was raised powerfully by Matu who was candid about past problems in her personal life and how this had helped her achieve successes.
"What you see as setbacks are really set-ups," said Matu, who was the chairperson of the Cape Film Commission and was recently selected by the International Emmy Academy to be part of the SA Delegation of Judges for the Emmy Awards Documentary category.
Wendy Appelbaum, chairperson of the De Morgenzon wine estate as well as international philanthropist, told delegates that women inherently know how to run good businesses as this essentially is what they do at home when managing households and home budgets. She impressed delegates with her account of taking on microlenders in Stellenbosch on behalf of an employee, explaining that women inherently have the power and ability to do whatever they set their mind to.
Conference organiser Jani Branders said they were very happy with how the event played out. "What was especially powerful was seeing how women reacted to Shona's story and inspiring each other to help her company. That was an example of how our power as women can really be used to help each other."
"The Women In Business Society at the GSB is passionate about empowering women and seeks to provide a platform that inspires women to make and sustain positive changes in their lives that will accelerate personal and professional growth," addded Thembi Butelezi, chairperson of the society.

Migration Resources > Labour Market Testing (LMT) Requirements: TSS Visa (Subclass 482)
Labour Market Testing (LMT) Requirements: TSS Visa (Subclass 482)
Written By Thanushki Kankanange
Fri, Jul 27, 2018
Please click here for current LMT requirements in effect from 12 August 2018.
On March 2018, the Department of Home Affairs introduced new requirements relating to mandatory Labour Market Testing (LMT), which now applies to nominations, made by approved Australian Employer Sponsors, against which TSS (subclass 482) applicants must lodge their visa applications.
A summary of the new requirements are as follows:
2 Advertisements must be placed on a recruitment website, print media or radio, with a national reach.
For example, recruitment websites such as Indeed (https://au.indeed.com/) and Jobactive ( https://jobsearch.gov.au/employers/job) can be used. Both these platforms offer free advertising.
The Advertisements must be in English and include the following information:
Name of Position
Name of the business Sponsor or Recruitment Agency
Salary on offer (a salary range is acceptable)
The Advertisements need to run for at least 21 (consecutive) calendar days, within the last six months.
In circumstances where an employer engages a recruitment consultant to source suitable candidates for the vacant position, a copy of a signed contract, between the sponsor and the recruitment consultant firm, along with a copy of the relevant advertisement placed by the recruitment consultant may also be provided.
Ads placed by a recruitment agency, on behalf of an employer sponsor, must also be in the same format as outlined above.
Sample Advertisement
Note: at this stage, there is no requirement for the sponsor to provide evidence of the results of the required Labour Market Testing (LMT), to the Department of Home Affairs.
Under certain circumstances, Employer sponsors may be exempt from having to meet the new Labour Market Testing (LMT), requirements, under any of the following scenarios:
The nominee is a Citizen/national of China, Japan or Thailand; or citizen/national/permanent resident of Chile, Korea, New Zealand or Singapore.
Current employee of an associated entity in an ASEAN country
Current employee of an associated entity in a WTO country and position is "Executive or Senior Manager" responsible for the entire or substantial part of company's operations in Australia
"Executive or Senior Manager" seeking to establish a business in Australia as a branch of business which operates in a WTO country
Citizen of a WTO member country who has worked in the nominated position in Australia full-time for the last two years.
Visa Application Charges Increase from July 1 2018
Revision of Labour Market Testing for the 482 Visa
Home Affairs Increases Credit Card Charges
Points Test for General Skilled Migration
Health Insurance and the TSS (482) Visa

Thousands Fill The Streets For Midtown Village Fall Festival
October 6, 2013 / 5:47 PM / CBS Philadelphia
By Mike Dougherty
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - It looked and felt a lot like summer at the Midtown Village Fall Festival in Center City Sunday afternoon.
Live music filled the air and vendors lined the streets as thousands of people enjoyed a gorgeous afternoon at the 8th Annual Fall Festival.
Nate from Northern Liberties just crossed an item off his bucket list:
"I was in a pen with a pig, giving pig cuddles," he said. "It was a good time."
The area between Chestnut and Locust near 12th and 13th Streets -- also referred to by some as the "Gayborhood" -- has come a long way in recent years, according to John from Sewell, New Jersey:
"Wow! I've been coming to this neighborhood since Robin's Bookstore opened back in the 70's. It's completely changed -- it's a lot more families, a lot younger demographic."
Sue has been to all eight Midtown Village Fall Festivals, and she, too, is astounded by how much the neighborhood has improved over the years. She believes the festival is a big reason why:
"People might come in because they're interested in the festival itself and then they discover some of the neat shops and restaurants that are actually part of the neighborhood, and they will being them back later when the festival is gone."
And she loves seeing the diverse crowd the festival draws.

Q: What is Document class in ace editor Hello guys what is Document in Ace editor I can't get it , am reading the documentation and it keep says Document class please explain here is an example
createEditSession(Document | String text, TextMode mode)

The Documentation is really poor and hard to understand can you suggest any source for learn how the ACE editor works and how can I embed it.
thanks in advance.

A: document class is https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/blob/master/lib/ace/document.js, normally you would call createEditSession with a string or array of strings.

A: According to the documentation "At its core, Documents are just an array of strings, with each row in the document matching up to the array index.".
  So a Document is "that thing" that you are editing in Ace editor. To create a new document:
var Document = require("ace/document").Document;
var doc = new Document("Lorem ipsum");

Then to edit that document in Ace:
var lorem_session = ace.createEditSession(doc);
my_ace_editor.setSession(lorem_session);


With an average of over six million visitors each year, it's no surprise that Oktoberfest is the world's largest folk festival. Booking.com, the global leader in connecting travelers with the widest choice of incredible places to stay, shares the top places to stay during Oktoberfest, whether you are looking for a luxury or a low-cost getaway. Based in Munich, Germany, it is the number one destination for beer lovers, braided beauties, lederhosen, colorful parades, fairground rides and giant pretzels.
This year the festival spans over two weeks from September 16th to October 3rd and is held in a beautiful meadow just outside of downtown Munich (as well as celebrated throughout the city). The popularity of Oktoberfest has grown worldwide with Booking.com listing Americans, Chinese and Australians as some of the top nationalities that booked accommodations in Munich during last year's festival. It's no surprise the top endorsements for Munich include beer, sightseeing and shopping, but if you can't make it to the festival, other top destinations for beer lovers include Andechs in Germany, Humpolec in Czech Republic and Savignone in Italy.
The Wombats City Hostel is the perfect destination for the avid Oktoberfest fan on a budget, with the Theresienwiese venue of Munich's Oktoberfest beer festival just a 15 minute-walk away. The hostel caters to everyone, offering modern rooms, ensuites and balconies, and an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet is served each morning ― a great remedy after all that Bavarian beer tasting.
For something a little more luxurious, travelers to Oktoberfest will love the Hotel Metropol, situated alongside a quiet road just a mere five minutes-walk from Munich Central Station. Guests can enjoy bright, modern rooms, large daily breakfasts, an elegant dining room and a 24-hour bar. The location means you a short walk away from Thereisenwiese, where Oktoberfest beer festival takes place every year.
Travelers looking for a calmer scene will love this historic four-star Hotel Torbräu. Boasting a central location just a five-minute walk away from Marienplatz square, this family-run hotel offers guests classically furnished rooms, a rich daily breakfast buffet and fine cuisine made from regional products at the Schapeau restaurant. Guests staying at the Hotel Torbräu can have it all ― a peaceful, luxurious retreat located less three miles away from the fun of Oktoberfest.
Maximilian Munich is the perfect relaxing getaway, with modern spa facilities including a fitness room, Finnish sauna, steam room, Kneipp foot basin, relaxation room and massages available on request. The hotel is ideally situated just a quarter mile away from the Bavarian State Opera and Isartor S-Bahn Train Station is just a five-minute walk away. Maximilian Munich offers luxury apartments, a pretty courtyard with rose gardens, a fully equipped kitchenette, as well as full buffet breakfast and Mediterranean specialties at the Kleines Max restaurant. Once guests are fully rested and relaxed they can opt for an enjoyable day out at Oktoberfest.
The Vi Vadi Hotel offers guests a welcoming and stylish stay with spacious, modern rooms, a terrace, restaurant and bar. Travelers to Oktoberfest will love the location with Theresienwiese and Central Station Munich not far away.
Situated in a central Munich, this modern hotel is just a little over a quarter mile from Oktoberfest. Relexa hotel München provides elegantly decorated rooms and a hearty buffet breakfast made with locally sourced ingredients from the historic Viktualienmarkt market place. Guests can buy tickets for the Bavarian State Opera and theatre at this hotel. Those wishing to explore the city will find elegant shopping streets within a 10-minute walk.
This design hotel lies in the Au-Haidhausen district of Munich, less than a half mile from the German Museum, and offers a trendy 24-hour bar, stylish modern rooms and rich breakfast buffets. München Rosenheimer Platz City Rail Station is a five-minute walk from the Motel One Deutsches Museum, and trains run to Marienplatz Square and the Kaufinger Straße shopping street in just three minutes, making this the perfect base for exploring the city.
Trudering-Riem is a great choice for travelers seeking a home away from home when visiting Oktoberfest. It's also in a great location for exploring the city – you're not far from Riem Arcaden Shopping Mall – and if you're tired of shopping and beer tasting, there are plenty of things on offer in the area, such as skiing, golfing and horse riding.

Union cabinet clears fresh triple talaq bill
New Delhi, Jun 12 (Agencies) | Publish Date: 6/12/2019 12:28:09 PM IST
The Union Cabinet on Wednesday cleared a fresh bill to ban the practice of instant triple talaq, which, once passed by Parliament, will replace an ordinance issued earlier this year. With the dissolution of the 16th Lok Sabha last month, the contentious bill had lapsed as it could not be passed by Parliament and was pending in Rajya Sabha (RS). Bills that are introduced in RS and are pending there do not lapse with the dissolution of Lok Sabha. Bills passed by Lok Sabha and pending in the Rajya Sabha, however, lapse. The new bill will be introduced in the first session of the 17th Lok Sabha beginning June 17, Union minister Prakash Javadekar said in a press briefing. The opposition had been opposing provisions of the bill in Rajya Sabha where the government lacked numbers to ensure its passage.

Q: Prompt multiple choices to user I have a data frame with scenarios
number  var1  var2
  1     "a1"  "b1"
  2     "a1"  "b2"
  3     "a2"  "b1"
  4     "a2"  "b2"

I would like to find the scenario number by asking a user the value they want for
var1 / var2

I do not think it can work with
readlines

which asks for the user to write something.
I would like something like
"What value of var1?"
1. "a1"
2. "a2"

And the users simply has to choose 1 or 2. Is that difficult?
