Lagos lawyer Bolanle Murder Case Updates, Two Arrested For Shooting, All Charges Explained!
Hello everyone, finally 2 people have been arrested for shooting dead Lagos lawyer Bolanle. The superintendent's assistant confirmed the story that two of the men were arrested in connection with the recent killing of a lawyer named Bolanle Raheem. First of all, we would like to express our deepest apologies and sympathies to the family, may her soul rest in peace. She was brutally murdered when she was returning from Christmas on Sunday morning when two men stopped her car.Follow our website gossip world media Get the latest updates! ! ! !
Two arrested over shooting of Lagos lawyer Bolanle
Blind shooting / The motive behind this incident remains unknown, but she was unable to receive medical attention in time to survive. Both are currently in custody and Lagos Police Command Public Relations Officer Benjamin Hundeyin, who is in charge of the case, is investigating the matter. A member of the Nigerian Bar Association, she is just starting her career, but she is a rising name in the field, and she is also recognized by the president of the association.
Lagos lawyer Bolanle murder update
Her body was immediately sent for forensic examination, she had been shot several times, it was really horrific, and she had no enemies. In fact, as her family said, it could have been a professional dispute. Her contribution is commendable, short but still important, and we need more people like her who are passionate about this work and willing to sacrifice their lives.
What happened to Lagos lawyer Bolanle?
We don't have any information on family and relationship details as she can't be found on social media sites or Wikipedia and she is preoccupied with her family as a mother. She is a professional woman and it was a very proud moment for her when she joined this association and fought for what was right. She does an amazing job for her clients and everyone gives her positive feedback.
Maybe she was suing the two and that's why he shot her. This could have been avoided, but unfortunately, it was not, and we hope to get justice for her as she did for her client in court. We'll be back with more explosive stories, and stay tuned to our site. She has always been a true brave person who would rise to a challenge without hesitation.

These photos of artist Douglas Miles show how a smartphone can be a useful scouting tool for photographers. The image above was made using an iPhone to give the subject an idea of the shot, while the one on top is the finished shot made with a DSLR camera.
JK: When you do photo shoots for us, you like to use your iPhone as a scouting tool. When did that come about?
PM: Not that long ago. I really started when I got the iPhone 11, which was the first version with a wide-angle lens. With that, I could do almost any composition that I could do on my DSLR camera.
JK: What are the advantages of using a smartphone this way?
PM: It's great for sizing up a location. Back in the day, we did scouting shots with Polaroids, but with smartphones, you're not wasting film, paper or chemicals. You can share the shot with the client or art director right away, and it's a great conversation starter. It's a little like having a sketch pad. It gives the client a rough idea of what you think would work, and it starts that collaboration of finding the shots they want. They've hired me to come up with the concept, and my iPhone is a tool that speeds up that operation and helps me know I'm on the right track. Clients and I often have a hard time getting on the same page visually, and this way, I don't have to try and verbally explain what a photo is going to look like.
JK: You make a lot of personal shots, too, and you're very active on Instagram. Did that start about the same time?
PM: Absolutely. I think it was Annie Leibovitz who was asked what her favorite camera was, and she answered, "Whichever one I have on me." I remember being in Paris in the early 1980s and carrying around a 45-pound Hasselblad system. You have to be 25 and foolish to do that. Now, I'm at a point where I don't take my DSLR camera on vacations. The quality of my phone camera is good enough, it's always in my pocket, and I don't have to worry about misplacing my $7,000 camera.
JK: Plus, you don't stand out in a crowd — people don't change their behavior the way they would if you pulled out a big camera.
PM: That's right. You're just another yokel. Additionally, these cameras have gotten better and better. They shoot in any light, and they don't take any time to set up. The big, expensive cameras make beautiful pictures, but you're missing shots during that setup time. For a spontaneous, photojournalistic picture, a smartphone is the best choice. I'm using it to shoot things I never would have shot before, because I can operate it almost as fast as my brain can think. With a DSLR camera, you spend half your time shooting and half dealing with the camera. With my phone, it's more like 90 percent shooting and 10 percent dealing with the camera.
JK: That said, you're a professional. Do you still think about light and composition when you're using your phone?
PM: Absolutely. I was at a friend's wedding at Lake Tahoe recently, and a woman and her girlfriends wanted a shot in front of the band. There were four big lights right above them, and the lighting would have been terrible. I had them move forward 10 feet and made a much better photo. But they would have been happy with the first shot, and I look at Instagram all the time and see terrible lighting. It works because of the format — you know it's a cellphone shot — and because there's a different vibe to this kind of photography. I did an assignment a couple of years ago, and I asked the art director what he was looking for. He said, "What I'm really looking for is a cellphone shot with more megapixels." The phone vibe is looser and less polished, and it feels more like what's happening now. It's been an exciting thing for me to explore, and it keeps me thinking photographically and exercising my brain. And it's so important to stay mentally limber by shooting as often as you can.

There is now no doubt that mobile games have sped past all tipping points and are embedded in our entertainment culture as much as TV, film and music.
While the rise of the Angry Birds franchise had a lot to do with this ascension, when its confident owners Rovio Mobile told us they were going to be the new Disney, not everything lasts for ever.
Rovio's recent decision to lay off 130 people, almost a fifth of its Finnish workforce underscores that. For now, there will be no new Disney and this suggests that mobile games may not only have passed the tipping point, but they may have peaked as well.
This is highly unlikely. While Rovio may need some time out to downsize and rethink a few things, there is more than enough quality content out there to keep gamers, be they casual or enthusiastic, very happy indeed.
A case in point in this week's release of Best Fiends, a launch that I understand from friends in the industry has been widely anticipated and will mark a watershed for mobile games. Think of it as the new Angry Birds, but more developed.
The company behind Best Fiends is Seriously, a company set up by executives who previously worked for Fox, Natural Motion, and the aforesaid Disney and Rovio. The game will be the first in a trilogy and Seriously is planning on this as a global mobile entertainment franchise. Time will tell if that comes to pass.
Based in California and Helsinki, the company's founders claim that between them they have worked on games that have achieved more than two billion downloads, and this puzzle game has been beautifully made with strong avatar characterisation and a soundtrack that was composed by Heitor Pereira (Despicable Me) and performed by the Budapest Art Orchestra.
While I am unlikely to be spending too much in the world of Minutia and its heroes' journey to save their families from the Slugs of Mount Bloom, there will be many iPhone and Android users who will, it really is a nice piece of work.
"The tried and true Hollywood model is to develop, produce and market a movie or television property, but the scale of mobile engagement is changing this formula. We believe that given the seismic audience shift to tablets and smartphones, the next generation of entertainment brands will be built on the power of touch," said Andrew Stalbow, co-founder and CEO, Seriously.
Stalbow's conviction that tactile engagement with entertainment is something that should be take seriously (sorry). The sit-back approach of traditional content such as TV and the cinema changed to lean-forward when the internet hit critical mass. Viewers or gamers want to be immersed in their entertainment, not at a distance from it.
Then there's the price model. Like all good mobile games content, Best Fiends is free to download with revenues coming from the ubiquitous in-app purchasing, a model that now appears to be an industry standard. While this seems a huge risk to take, investors don't think so.
Seriously is backed by some big players. These are Upfront Ventures, an early-stage venture firm based in Los Angeles, Sunstone Capital, a leading European venture fund, and Daher Capital, a Beirut-based family investment office.
The Angry Birds example can be an inspiration and also a warning to ambition and hubris, there is substance behind Seriously's franchise plans. There is a belief that Angry Birds got lucky and it was genius marketing and persistence that made it into the company it was. Their previous 50 games had all failed to find a publisher.
In Seriously's case, the startegy seems to be more thought out and grown up. In 2014, there is a mobile games revenue model that appears to work, the Best Fiends' content itself is of the highest quality and the audience is there.
Seriously could be one to watch over the next 12 months.

For its 40 attorneys in Los Angeles, Pircher hosts educational sessions to allow associates and partners the opportunity to expand and refine their knowledge in the areas of real estate transaction documents and related legal issues. Pircher facilitates education and mentorship opportunities outside of the firm as well, through programs such as its Real Estate Joint Venture (JV) Challenge.

Deloitte's CFO on 3 Performance Metrics for Organisational Growth
Data Survive 22.06.2021 9 min
Jody Burton, Peter Hind
Interviewee
Jody Burton Chief Financial Officer at Deloitte Australia
Peter Hind Senior Analyst at ADAPT
As a former auditor and now Deloitte's CFO, Jody Burton has a unique perspective in witnessing the finance role evolve from cost containers to digital-first and data-driven business enablers.
Speaking with ADAPT's Senior Analyst, Peter Hind, Jody discusses the metrics she leverages to identify new opportunities for customer service delivery, national commercial competitiveness, and collaborative solutions with alliance partners.
In her explanation, she separates the metrics into three categories: growth, transformation, and service excellence.
To name a few, these include market share, utilisation, and new services offered. Each organisational department can determine their metrics in alignment with this.
She communicates the value of data transformation to the rest of the organisation through language ('enabling function'), insights-driven results, and constant informal communication with stakeholders.
Peter Hind:
Jody, you're the CFO at Deloitte. Deloitte is a name we all know, but probably we don't know the role you do or the dimensions of the business. Could you tell us a bit more about your role?
Jody Burton:
Thanks, Peter. Thanks for inviting me today. The CFO role at Deloitte, it's very broad. When I was first provided with the opportunity, you tend to think quite narrow.
I'm an auditor by background. I grew up in the firm for the last 30 years and very much into the numbers.
I think very much about the debits and the credits. Oh gosh, my first thought was going back to the old debits and credits within the organisation, very inward-looking. It's the opposite. It's very outward-looking.
I see the CFO role as quite broad and an enabler to its growth and enabling its strategy.
It's interesting, Jody because traditionally, the CFO has been almost the gatekeeper in an organisation. So, they were questioning the vitality of others. Have they thought through the numbers? Do they add up as much as they say?
Do you jettison that thinking if you embrace the new culture?
I tend to think of the role as it's not much about the numbers. I was quite surprised when I first went into the accounting field. After that, it became less and less about the numbers and more about what was possible regarding the operations.
It's still the same now.
We need to focus on the numbers, but I don't make all the decisions. It's about the diversity of thought at the table."
It's about being collaborative, and it's talking to the business and partnering with them around the right solution for the benefit of the partnership and the benefit of our people and our clients.
Is it a collective responsibility?
It's very collective.
Now, I'm interested in data because you told me about an audit background. I assume that you're immersed in data. You love figures.
We're talking here about driving a data-driven business. How have the demands of a data-driven business evolved from your audit days?
It's interesting. It took me a while to make this realisation. Before I was the CFO, I was in the role of Chief Risk Officer for the firm for the last five years now.
What made me appreciate was data, where the data was, how to collate the data and the purpose.
It made me realise that people are at the apex of our organisation are professional services firm, but so is data.
Through my CRO role, I realised that I had much more visibility of what data was moving within the organisation from a cybersecurity perspective.
I had to understand where the data was, what it was being used for, and I began to appreciate data as an asset much more than perhaps I had previously.
Now, I see I have this lens that people are obviously at the centre of our organisation, but so is our data."
All our leaders not only need to understand that they lead our people in the organisation, but they also have a role to play in leading our data, and owning our data, and making sure that we're leveraging that as much as we do the human resource.
Jody, it's interesting because you say a digital CFO, and you think digital. So, you associate technology, but you're giving me a much broader perspective of what a digital CFO is in terms of the health of an organisation and the organisation's metrics, all reflect an organisation that is digital and progressive, I suppose.
That's exactly right because there's a couple of things with data. One is how we can use the data to enable the business to execute its strategy to benefit our clients.
It's more about the clients. What's the need of the client in the market? What is the need of the nation?"
Indeed, part of our purpose is to make an impact that matters for our nation's economic prosperity.
That's at the core of everything we do. So how can we use the data that we have to ensure that our clients realise what they need to develop the nation's economic prosperity simultaneously as we must then be more effective and efficient as an organisation at the centre?
There's the efficiency and effectiveness in using the data, but there's also ensuring that we optimise the opportunity for the nation and our clients.
I can't help thinking as you were saying that you're talking about having empathy with your clients and their requirements and then providing data that helps them in their jobs. It's not an inner focus on data.
It's very much external interactions with people.
Absolutely. That's interesting. People think of the CFO role, and they think of data and think it needs to be an internal application.
I don't think of it that way because I've got visibility of all the data effectively or the nature of our data.
You must think of the possibilities for the benefit of our entire ecosystem, quite frankly."
It's not our clients, which includes clients right from the government to many smaller not-for-profit organisations and the larger private sector, but our entire ecosystem, which includes our Alliance partners.
You're thinking IBMs of the world, AWS, Salesforce, Oracle, et cetera. These are core ecosystem Alliance partners of ours. No longer can we assume that we hold all the answers or even hold the data to enable us to deliver our client solutions.
We must do those together with other market participants. The other market participants realise that as well. So, we need to come to the table to offer a solution together with other partners, and they have data assets. So, we need to find the right combination.
I like hearing that because I hear data sources in a data-driven business aren't all internal. They're external. You've got to know who can give you data to make you better.
No more the case than Deloitte Access Economics. Our economics practice was acquired many, many years ago now based in Canberra, but the amount of data they procure, not many from within the organisation.
That's global data, not economic data, but all sorts of imports that they filter through and then obviously ensure that they're producing the right product.
Talking about becoming a digital CFO, one of the challenges people talk to me about is how do the finance people impress others you contribute to the organisation?
Now I ask you this question, Jody, because I have a suspicion that your end-user community are quite knowledgeable, bright, educated people who might push back at people in finance telling them what's going on.
They're not backward in coming forward, that's right. Some of the personalities that we have are part of the interesting part of the job.
I'm an auditor by background; as you say, I found the most enjoyable part of my role as an audit partner was able to go out to clients and interact with different people every day.
Some of those would be more challenging than others, and it's no different from our organisation because 10,000 people are a microcosm of Australian society."
So, we do have that, and they are a challenge, but a lot of it is in the language.
For example, we don't call it a back office; it's an enabling function. It's an enabling area. Part of that lens is very much about. First, we must be able to show that value tangibly to the business. It's also about relationships.
Having been within the firm for many years, I have relationships with the senior partners and the business leaders to trust in me to know that I will provide that value to them.
Then it also comes down to things as simple as language. We're an enabling function that helps to enable the strategic outcomes of the business and the firm's strategy."
So, it's a lot of the little things, but at the end of the day, the power is in the data and ensuring that we have the data scientists at the centre to provide the insights back to the business to make sure that they're more effective.
I also heard there, Jody, a lot of it's the casual interactions with people; it's not always formal meetings to get your point across. It's lobbying people outside.
Those are the secrets of setting ideas for people.
Absolutely. I have some formal meetings, obviously, in the diary, but I tend to think most of my meetings are quite informal.
As I said, I never assume or presume that I can come to the table with all the answers. It was the same in my Chief Risk Officer role as well.
It's about bringing the right people to the table to have the conversation to nut out the most optimal solution, whether it be for ourselves or our clients.
With the diversity of thought around the table and the data, you need both the human element and the data to develop the right solution.
The journey never ends, you know. So, I would say that we're beginning a new digital transformation and data transformation, particularly for our Asia Pacific region and global firm. It's exciting.
It's exciting because you're always learning, and learning gives you new insights, new knowledge that keeps things fresh.
That's good. One of the things that the conference is about is the metrics we must manage the finance, business environment that you're overseeing. What metrics do you find useful?
We've got the traditional metrics, but generally, we have half a dozen or so metrics that really, tangibly measure the execution or the success of the execution of the strategy.
That's at the board level, managing our internal stakeholders and our global stakeholders. Really beneath that, we have a suite of metrics that has shifted somewhat over time with the data.
In the current environment, it's become more agile. So not only do we measure outputs, but we're also now beginning to measure inputs as well."
Those are being measured on almost a real-time basis. So, the frequency of what we're measuring is now much more rapid.
The challenge with that is making sure that you do not measure too many things and still focus. They all still need to speak to the core strategic metrics that are going to the board. That speaks to the execution of the strategy.
For each of the businesses, we have broadly five businesses within our organisation with executive leaders of each of those and their respective executive teams.
They each have their metrics. But, again, a lot of freedom within what they can measure, inputs and outputs, and there are data and data scientists to support that.
Each of those links up to have some relationship to the core metrics that go to the board on the execution of the strategy.
It's freedom within a frame, but there's more real-time data now than perhaps what we once before had, ten years ago. It's your traditional monthly, quarterly, annual type data. It's not quick enough today.
Well, you've given me an analogy of driving a car, and you've got all those speedometers changing, things like that.
What are the core metrics to go to the board, though? What sort of metrics are you tracking?
Well, at a broad level, our strategy is around three core things. There's growth, some metrics around growth, transformation at heart, metrics around transformation, and our brand delivery excellence."
The metrics change now and then, but broadly speaking, we have a couple of metrics, two or three metrics, that go to each of those.
We'll have metrics that measure our growth, and that might be market share, market positioning, revenue numbers, et cetera. So, they're very much the outputs.
Beneath that, businesses will have various inputs utilisation, et cetera the traditional ones to drive that, but then we have metrics around transformation. So now that is really where it's interesting.
It's what proportion of our services are being delivered that weren't delivered two years ago.
For example, what's the portfolio mix looking like around the nature of that revenue, and how transformative are we in delivering new products and services and measuring how we're disrupting ourselves?
Because despite the success, we've had double-digit growth for the last five years. That's probably the ideal time to be disrupting yourself. We measure our disruption through the transformation piece and then obviously deliver excellence quality is important.
Service excellence is core to our brand and being able to then circle back through the growth. The amount of digital and data transformation that we have at the centre enables the level of growth that you have."
Then once you have that growth, you can continue to self-invest and invest back into the transformation. So, you need to have that cycle going. That's the heart of what we're doing.
It's a dynamic business. So, you've got to constantly evolve, and you got to use the insights to help you get better.

If selected as Miss Teen Ellis County, the contestant will represent her area at the Miss Teen Texas Pageant. In addition, she will become an ambassador from the Ellis County area and receive an official title and sash.
The winner of Miss Teen Texas will receive a scholarship and prize package worth more than $15,000. She will also get the opportunity to compete in the 2009 Miss Teen International Pageant.
The Miss Teen Texas pageant began in 1985, and has established a precedent of maintaining high qualities ever since, said Kristin Koether, Director of Miss Teen Texas International. The pageant has a strong emphasis on tradition, and last year the event saw 40 girls competing in the pageant.
For the Miss Teen Ellis County competition, there were 20 applicants, Koether said.
The current titleholder for Miss Teen Ellis County is Corley Peel from Midlothian. Peel said the overall experience of competing in the pageant was a good one. It improved her people skills, and helped her get experience for a business interview.
The 2009 Miss Teen Texas Pageant will take place March 20-22 at the Scottish Rite Auditorium in San Antonio.
Contestants will compete in four areas. There will be an interview, which will count for 40 percent of the contestant's score. The contestant must have a platform about which to speak. The next area of competition is the evening gown, in which the contestant will be judged on grace, poise and elegance. This section counts as 20 percent of the contestant's total score. Contestants will also be judged in fitness wear, which will also count 20 percent. The contestants will be evaluated on being physically fit, healthy and energetic. For the last 20 percent of the contestant's score, she will be judged on her appearance in fun fashion wear. During this portion, the contestant may wear something of her choice, but the state office must approve it.
To be considered, applicants must be a U.S. citizen between the ages of 13 and 18 by July 1 of 2009. They must also be of good health and moral character, be single and never have been married and never have given birth to a child. Contestants must never have been convicted of a felony.
The official charity of the Miss Teen Texas International Pageant is the American Heart Association. In 2008, the International Pageants joined the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women movement. Each state titleholder will champion heart disease as a national platform in addition to promoting her own platform throughout the year, Koether said.
Go Red for Women captures the energy, passion and intelligence of women, to work collectively to wipe out heart disease, the number one killer of women. Almost one in every three women will die from cardiovascular disease, while only one in 30 women will die from breast cancer. Go Red for Women's passion is to unite women in the fight against cardiovascular disease, even at an early age. For more information about this movement, visit www.GoRedForWomen.org.

← Quick Thought: How About "None of the Above"?
"This is the 122nd year of playing baseball in Pittsburgh. While some in the press like to focus on the past 15, most of those 122 years, the Pirates played some pretty good National League baseball.
Either the Pittsburgh Pirates have hired an amazing PR director or there's actually some hope in the Iron City. CBS Sportsline has joined The New York Times in writing about the hopes of the once-proud franchise that might as well be our sister city for baseball.

No. 13 Illini survive scare against Northwestern, 73-66
The home win keeps the Illini in sole possession of first place in the Big Ten, sitting a half-game ahead of Purdue and one game ahead of Wisconsin after a week in which all three teams lost.
Feb 14 2022 | 3 min read
By GAVIN GOOD | Associated Press
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Kofi Cockburn scored 19 points and grabbed 15 rebounds to help No. 13 Illinois stave off a late comeback by Northwestern to beat the Wildcats 73-66 on Sunday.
Illinois led by 18 points after Alfonso Plummer's 3-pointer with 13:05 left, but Northwestern responded with a 19-2 run to pull within one point with 6:16 to go.
The Illini (18-6, 11-3 Big Ten) turned to 7-foot center Cockburn for an answer, and he obliged, scoring six straight points to make it a 61-56 lead with 4:19 to play. He scored the team's final three buckets.
"I had a career-high (six) turnovers today," said Cockburn, who recorded his 41st career double-double to tie Illinois' record set by Skip Thoren (1963-1965). "It's about focusing, trying to slow the game down and not rushing stuff, being strong with the ball. I got frustrated, and I'm sure these guys did, too. We're going to grow from that."
Ty Berry came off the bench to lead the Wildcats (12-11, 5-9 Big Ten) with 16 points on 5-of-8 shooting, including going 4 of 6 from 3-point range. Chase Audige added 12 points and Pete Nance tacked on 10.
"(Cockburn) is just such a tough guy to play against," Northwestern coach Chris Collins said. "There's no one like him in the country with that force, with that size. It just puts a lot of pressure on you in a lot of ways."
Illinois took a 44-30 lead into halftime thanks in part to its 9-of-16 shooting from 3-point range in the first half, including four treys from Plummer and a pair from freshman RJ Melendez.
Plummer finished the game with 19 points, including making 5 of his 11 3-point attempts. Melendez added a career-high 14 points and six rebounds.
"My style of play has grown a lot," Melendez said. "Just being with the vets every time in practice, going at them, guarding them because I know it's going to make me better. Getting all the knowledge I can."
A bucket from Cockburn, then dunks from Omar Payne and Melendez helped Illinois build an 18-point lead before the under-12 timeout. Payne blocked a shot by Elyjah Williams, then Coleman Hawkins started the Illini on a fastbreak, providing a smooth dish for a Melendez dunk that made it 50-32 with 14:37 to play.
Northwestern then went on its run.
Northwestern: The Wildcats are far from an easy beat. They may not have the firepower to get over on the league's elite teams, but there's an opportunity to finish the season above .500 with six games to go and Nebraska, Minnesota (twice) and Penn State still on the schedule.
Illinois: The Illini have now won 25 of their last 29 games in Big Ten play. The team is prone to offensive lulls, but Cockburn is the ultimate security blanket in the paint. Perimeter threats like Plummer continue to capitalize on the space created by the star center's presence.
Northwestern: Hosts Purdue on Wednesday.
Illinois: At Rutgers on Wednesday.

There are so many fantastic places to fly fish for trout around the World. From wading across volcanic lakes in Iceland (see picture above) in search of huge spotted wild Brown Trout, to battling with double figure Rainbows on tiny dry flies from the crystal clear rivers of New Zealand. The appeal is the same, just the location is different.
We are lucky to have some wonderful lakes, rivers and reservoirs here in the UK and the quality of the trout can be superb. I am very lucky to live just a few minutes from both Chew Valley and Blagdon Lakes. These are wonderful venues, set amidst the beauty of the rolling Mendip Hills.
Although quality Rainbow Trout are the main species, both lakes have big numbers of Brown Trout present – some as big as 22lbs have been caught in recent years. The Bristol Water Trout are reared in their own hatchery at Ubley and the Brown Trout are a cross between Loch Leven and local River Yeo brownies.
I am often on the water 7 days a week with clients and this means being in constant touch with the changing weather conditions and the corresponding change in the trouts' behaviour.
Thanks to a very fertile aquatic environment, the supply of natural food means Chew Valley and Blagdon trout have plenty of choice in their diet. For this reason, we have to constantly alter our tactics to have the best chance of success.
Dry Fly is my favourite fly fishing technique and both lakes have phenomenal hatches, making it ideal for this incredibly visual method. We no longer use a single dry, but fish teams of three to enhance our chances of success.
Nymphing comes to the fore when the fish are not rising. The massive numbers of midge pupae present means techniques such as "Static Nymph", "Washing Line" and "Straight Line Nymphing" are principle methods throughout the season.
Sinking Line methods are an area of huge mystique. We all love to fish a floater, but sometimes the conditions dictate that we have to resort to sinking line tactics. Believe me, successful sinking line techniques are a great way to fish and not simply a case of "chuck it out and strip it back"!
Lures are another important part of the fly fisher's armoury and can be highly imitative. Trout that are feeding on small fish, damsel nymphs and other larger items will often ignore nymph patterns in preference for a bigger mouthful. There is more subtlety to lure fishing than many anglers realise.
My competition fishing takes me to lakes and rivers all over the UK. As a result, I am happy to guide at other waters such as Rutland, Grafham, Bewl, Eyebrook, Draycote and Llyn Brenig. In fact, if you want to fish it - I'll take you there!
I frequently fish rivers such as the River Test, River Dee in North Wales, River Tweed in Scotland and River Mourne in Northern Ireland.
Casting a dry fly to a sipping trout, watching it rise to your perfectly presented fly, then striking to set the hook before all hell is let loose as it takes off at a rate of knots downstream; is probably the ultimate river experience and I love it!
However, when the days shorten and the temperature drops, the fly hatches stop and the fish turn to nymph feeding instead. The Winter months now provide the perfect opportunity to target Grayling in the River Test and other chalkstreams in the South of England. I have access to several beats which remain open during the normal close season, allowing guests to fish for the "Lady of the Stream".
Thanks to fishing against the top Polish, Czech and French river anglers, I have gleaned loads of information on how to fish methods such as Czech Nymphing and Micro Nymphing where the use of long, French style leaders is employed.

In the latest thriller in the New York Times bestselling Pike Logan series, a hostage situation places America's most powerful political elite at the mercy of their worst enemies.
When veteran operator Pike Logan and partner Jennifer Cahill receive a letter from Blaisdell Consulting—the umbrella cover company for their real employer, a top-secret counterterrorist unit called the Taskforce—they expect orders for their next mission-impossible tasking. Instead, they learn that their latest actions have gotten them fired, despite having saved thousands of innocent lives.
Meanwhile, all Taskforce teams have been redirected to a developing situation. A terrorist organization has targeted military relatives of key members of the United States government, including the vice president's son. Their seizure of hostages was far-reaching and meticulously coordinated, and the full extent of the threat—and potential demands—has thrown the government into turmoil. They face a terrible choice: Cease counter-terrorist operations, or watch hostages die one by one. How much is a single life worth? Unless the Taskforce can decipher the web of lies devised by their enemies, the United States is about to find out.
The woman caught Aiden's eye a second time and he realized she was stalking him. Which he found ironic, given he was in the process of hunting another, although he was fairly sure her idea of success was much different than his. Older than the average female at the bar, she projected an air of quiet desperation, with a sultry smile covering her misery like a cheap coat of paint, the pain clearly evident underneath.
Surrounded on all sides by soldiers barely over drinking age, most having recently returned from a combat deployment with the 82nd Airborne, she longed to get away from the smell of stale beer and testosterone. She was searching for someone to take her from the bravado of arms. Someone who didn't have the stench of combat surrounding his every move. A civilized man who didn't believe that training to kill was a decent way to make a living.

Q: How do I save and load a std::string with object serialization in C++? I had something simple like this POD structure...
struct Actor
{
    string name;
    int hp;
};

Later on, for simplicity sake here, I saved the structure to file using...
 ofstream_obj.write((char *)&PC, sizeof(Actor));

Then, I tried reading the file back. It loaded in the data, but upon exit it gave an ugly exception, pointing at xutility at the line of: *_Pnext != 0
inline void _Container_base12::_Orphan_all()
    {   // orphan all iterators
 #if _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL == 2
    if (_Myproxy != 0)
        {   // proxy allocated, drain it
        _Lockit _Lock(_LOCK_DEBUG);

        for (_Iterator_base12 **_Pnext = &_Myproxy->_Myfirstiter;
            *_Pnext != 0; *_Pnext = (*_Pnext)->_Mynextiter)
            (*_Pnext)->_Myproxy = 0;
        _Myproxy->_Myfirstiter = 0;
        }
 #endif /* _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL == 2 */
    }

After giving up, I changed the std::string to char name[20], tried the whole thing again, and it worked fine. Is there something different about loading back std::string? Is it not calling std::string's copy constructor?

A: std::string holds a pointer internally to the actual string data which is malloced on the heap.
write(char*, size_t) doesn't consider internal types (and associated copy constructors) AT ALL. This means that you were writing a pointer to a file, which never works.
to fix it properly you would need actual serialization that writes the string out properly (like write length and then the data)

After 17 years of being a full-time faculty member at UMass (from 2001-2018), I am now an Adjunct Professor (effective 9/1/2018). I am currently Director of the Data Science Lab at Adobe Research in San Jose, CA. Adobe's Digital Experience Cloud processes trillions of consumer transactions on behalf of thousands of corporations, involving hundreds of petabytes of data. Understanding how to design machine learning algorithms that operate at such massive web scales is an exciting challenge that has drawn me to the Bay Area.
I am developing a new framework called imagination science. Traditional data science, like statistics, constructs descriptive summaries of experience, and answers the question "What is?", converting experience into probability distributions. Imagination Science explores a much broader palette of questions, including answering "What if?" interventional queries, as well as "Why?" explanations, and counterfactual imagination-type reasoning. I am giving a tutorial on imagination science at AAAI 2019, and also co-organizing a AAAI 2019 Spring Symposium on this topic.

The sounds of blades being sharpened brings my attention to the right. It's such a sharp, distinct sound that can make some peoples blood run cold. Me, on the other hand, I love it. As I step into the secluded building, I see the man that directs me to what jobs I have for the night. You see, I do the jobs that no others want to do.

Men that are high and mighty that can get away with their crimes so easily, because they have the money to make their problems disappear. But what most of them don't expect… is me.
T.L. lives in Brisbane, Australia with her 2 children. She started writing because of her love of reading. She used to doodle with ideas when she was younger, but never wrote too much. Her life dream is to be a full time author. If you ask her if she is like her characters, she says, "I am like both of the characters from my two book series.

~*~ Sneak Peek ~*~ Finding Us by Debra Presley
Book Title: Finding Us (A Nucci Securities Novel)
Author: Debra Presley
Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions
COVER REVEAL: January 23, 2015
Pop star Abby Murphy has fame and fortune and handsome boyfriend and guitarist, Sean. That changes the night she finds him in the arms of another woman. But Sean won't accept the breakup, and she soon finds out he's working with her mother, who's also her manager, to keep him in her good graces.
As Sean ratchets up his threats against her, Abby turns to her bodyguard, Danny Nucci, who will do everything in his power to keep her safe.
But when Abby realizes her feelings for Danny run much deeper than she'd like, she pushes him away as much to keep her own independence as to protect him from Sean's machinations.
When Abby finally finds the strength to confront all that is wrong with her life, she seeks refuge with Danny, but is it too late? Has she pushed him away one too many times for him to trust her now? Or can he put his own demons aside to help repair them both?

The house lights went on and Abby took in the huge crowd. They were screaming for her to sing one more song. Some held up signs that read "I love you, Abby" and others took pictures and recorded the show using their phones, trying to capture the magic of the night.
She had just spent the last two hours tearing down the house with an elaborate show that included dances, pyrotechnics, jugglers, acrobats, and fucking circus animals. She hated all the glitz and glamour but she was just a pawn in a game much bigger than her.
However, she never liked disappointing her fans. She smiled and waved and the volume in the arena increased tenfold.
"You want more?" she asked her audience and the crowd went crazy. She signaled to the drummer and he started the intro to a song that was recently pegged as her next single to be released by her record company, "Beg Me." Seemed fitting, since that was what the crowd was doing. Dancers launched from the bottom of the stage and Abby picked it up from there, and sang her guts out and danced like it was her last night at a club. As the last note faded, fireworks lit up the stage.
"Thank you, Vegas" she shouted into the mic. "I love you. Good night."
The crowd cheered and screamed for her. With one last wave, Abby went backstage, but stopped by her guitarist and latched onto him before she gave him a quick kiss and ran off the stage. The crowd continued to scream and shout her name and she could hear it, even as security whisked her to her dressing room.
Once there, Abby sighed. As she suspected, it was completely packed with staff, media and random groupies all vying for attention. She hated this part of a show, and immediately lost the high from the stage. Her one request for her tours was to have a private area so that she could escape for a little bit. Looked like that wasn't going to be an option, yet again.
She thought of her mother, who always took that request to the extreme, when all Abby needed was four walls, a door, and maybe a humidifier to keep her vocal cords healthy. But no. Her mother insisted on a "pop star life," so Abby was met at every venue with a private, completely over-the-top dressing suite filled with unnecessary things and usually unnecessary people.
This one had light lavender walls and soft lighting to help "set the mood." The floors were cappuccino-colored hardwood, and a lavender area rug had been placed in the center of the room. A deep purple sofa with accent pillows stood on the rug, while two slim lined cream-colored side chairs with brown piping had been placed to the right and left of it. A square glass coffee and a sofa table held freshly cut roses in various shades of pink. A humidifier was placed discreetly behind the sofa, because Abby's mother thought such things were ugly and didn't match the décor. No matter that it was the only necessary thing in the room for her.
Lavender-scented candles in various sizes had been lit at least one hour prior to an arrival at a performance location and the dressing room also contained high-speed wireless Internet connection. All things Abby didn't want or need at the moment. But she had stopped trying to change her mother's mind. Some days, she just wanted to run away, to some place where no one knew who she was.
Abby scanned the room and found the friendly face of her assistant Sophie. She knew once she could make it to Sophie she'd be in the clear from all the bad stuff.
"You killed it tonight." Sophie gave Abby a quick hug and handed her a bottled water.
"Thanks, where's the evil one?" Abby asked as she took a quick sip of the cool drink.
"Bailed as usual." She gave Abby a warm smile, which took a bit of Abby's annoyance away.
"Thank God. She knows just how to ruin a good night." She smiled at Sophie but Sophie didn't look very happy.
"Don't get too excited. We might've dodged one bitch but there's one waiting for you. Gina's looking for 'a few minutes of your time.' Don't worry I'll save you." She patted Abby on the back.
"Ugh, fuck. What does that lady want from me? She's a fuckin' nosy-ass bitch." She sighed, knowing there's no way she could get out of talking to her.
"Well she is a gossip columnist. It's kinda her job to be nosey." Sophie giggled.
"Not funny. You were my favorite assistant five minutes ago but now you're just mean," Abby said as she stuck her tongue out at Sophie.
"What if I promise to rescue your ass after five minutes?" She playfully poked Abby in the arm.
"I'd say you'd quickly become my best assistant in the world again."
"Here she comes," Sophie warned.
"Don't go far," Abby pleaded.
"I'll be over here, keeping a close watch, if she gets too personal use our signal." She scratched her arm and smiled at Abby. "Five minutes and you'll be able to get some quiet."
"Abby, sweetie! Wonderful show tonight." Gina placed her hands on Abby's arms and gave her an air kiss on either side of her face.
"Gina, lovely to see you," Abby said with her best fake smile.
"You and Sean looked cozy up on stage. Things going well?" She asked, totally fishing for something and Abby knew it.
"Yes, perfect. Sean's amazing. I'm very lucky to have him." Abby gave her best smile.
"Oh, that's so good to hear because you know the rumors are flying that he was seen in a very compromising position with a young woman with bright red hair. But I'm glad you think things are good." She smiled at Abby with a wicked little smirk. Abby knew exactly who she was talking about but she also knew they were just friends. Kelly had introduced Abby to Sean. There was no way anything romantic was going on between them.
"Well you can't believe everything you hear now, can you?" Abby smiled as she scratched her arm.
"I suppose." Gina answered and gave Abby a 'yeah right' look.
"Excuse me ladies," Sophie interrupted. "Abby, you need to get ready for your meet and greet. Gina, if you'd like to sit down and do a formal interview with Abby just give me a call and I'll set it up." She smiled.
"Sorry Gina, gotta go meet my fans." Abby gave Gina a quick hug and air kiss. Sophie ushered Abby away.
"Thank God that's over," Abby said and sighed with relief.
"By the way, that dress is hot on you, girl." Abby scanned Sophie's outfit, a black shift dress with a thick white band down the middle and a square-cut neckline. She sported a pair of black sparkly four-inch platform shoes and had pulled her reddish-brown hair back in a bun. "That's the other reason I hired you. Our fashionista sensibilities."
"Learned it from you. Now come on. The inner sanctum awaits!"
Abby followed her into the other room of the dressing area and sank down onto a sofa. She closed her eyes, savoring the quiet.
Always a pillar of efficiency, Sophie retrieved her binder from the coffee table and took a seat across from her. She opened it.
"Okay, tonight we have a meet and greet with a bunch of radio station winners. It starts in about an hour and a half. This should give you time to shower and get ready. We also promised you'd stick around to sign autographs and take pictures. I have an outfit set aside. Amy and John stayed behind to help get you ready."
Abby sighed in resignation. "I thought you were just saying that to Gina to rescue me. Who signed me up for this little get together?" But she already suspected the answer to the question before Sophie responded.
"Your mom."
"I knew it. I thought we talked about doing shit like this before shows. Is she coming, too?"
"No, she told me she was going back to the hotel."
"Well, I guess I should be thankful for small favors." Abby got up off the sofa. "I'll shower in a bit." She went back into the crowd still in the common area of her dressing suite. She wanted to talk to Sean. He always helped her with the stressful "make nice" aftermath of a show. She worked her way around the room, smiling and greeting people as appropriate, then saw Sean tucked in a corner talking a bit too closely to a scantily dressed blonde with her tits hanging halfway out of what little dress she had. Not again. His tall frame leaned over the blonde, and he was running his fingers up and down her arm.
Abby stared, shocked, then headed right for them, ignoring people who were trying to get her attention. She approached the couple from behind so Sean couldn't see her.
"Am I interrupting anything here?" she snapped.
Sean immediately backed away. "Baby, I was just talking to–"
"Brandi," the woman said, sounding offended.
"Yeah, Brandi." Sean smiled nervously. "She was telling me about a club we should check out."
"Oh, really?" Abby used extra sarcasm in her tone. "Too bad we have no time." She smiled back, extra sweet. A small group of onlookers had inched closer. "Can I talk with you for a moment, baby?" She continued to smile. With a room full of reporters, she had to keep up appearances. She took his hand and pulled him toward her private dressing area.
Once inside, she shut the door. "What the fuck was that? I can't leave you alone for more than five fucking minutes without you trying to get into some random skank's pants? Really?" She kept her voice low, but her tone had an effect. He frowned.
"I was just being nice. She came up to me and wanted to talk. What was I supposed to do? Be rude?" He ran his finger along the seam of Abby's shirt and looked down at her with a smile.
She always had a hard time resisting him, especially his damn blue eyes. She ran her hand through his longish brown unruly hair that was still sweaty from being on stage.
"Mmm. There," he said. "See? It's cool, right?"
"Fuck you, Sean. I see that shit again and you can say goodbye to me, this tour and your fucking career."
Sean stared at her. "I'm sorry."
"Fine," she said with a sigh. "I have to get ready."
He stepped back to let her pass but grabbed her hand. "Where are you going?"
"I have a fucking meet and greet that my dearest mother set up."
"I was hoping we could spend some time by ourselves tonight." He looked down into her eyes and brushed her bangs off her forehead. "I mean it. I'm sorry and we really don't get time to ourselves. I just thought–"
Abby sighed again but this time she let go of some of her anger. "I wish I could get out of it."
"Um, sorry to break things up here, but you have to start to get ready if you want to be able to get back at a decent time." Sophie smiled, apologetic, and Abby wondered how much she had seen.
"Wait up for me?" Abby whispered after giving him a quick kiss.
"Absolutely. How long are you gonna be? I'll have a bath waiting for you."
"That sounds nice. A couple of hours, I guess." She looked over at Sophie, who shrugged.
"Give or take," she guessed. "The sooner you get ready, the sooner you can finish up."
Abby smiled. "All right. See you later." She blew Sean a kiss and headed for the bathroom.
Abby walked into the elevator and leaned against the wall, completely exhausted from her long day. All she wanted now was the long hot bath she was promised. Sophie, Danny and Ron followed Abby into the elevator.
"That wasn't as bad as it could've been," Sophie said as she stood next to Abby.
"Danny was lucky enough to get cornered by the little girl's mother." Ron chuckled and pressed the buttons for their floors. "Left me to hold back all the squealing teenagers."
"You could've given me some help. She was disgusting." He shook himself free of the horrible memory.
"She was quite fond of you." Abby giggled.
"Not one of you threw out a lifeline. I think I'm gonna need to shower for a week before I get her perfume out of my nose. She reeked."
"Yeah you do smell pretty." She goaded and they all laughed.
"I'll remember this. Just wait." Danny declared as the elevator door opened to Sophie's floor.
"Night," Sophie gave Abby a quick peck on the cheek and waved to the boys.
"Night," Abby said, waiting inside the elevator with Danny holding the door open, while Ron walked Sophie to her door.
"So, what are your plans for the rest of the night? A late night rendezvous with the smelly cougar?" Abby continued teasing Danny as Ron walked back into the elevator.
"Aren't you just the funny one this evening. Well, baby doll, it's two-thirty in the morning, so I'm thinking sleep. Why? Did you have something in mind?"
She got lost for a minute in his deep brown eyes. She'd always thought he was cute, but for some reason, tonight she really wanted to touch his dimples and five o' clock shadow.
"Um, you still with me, Abby?"
She snapped back to the elevator. "Oh, you want me to answer you?" she said with a little touch of sarcasm. She didn't want him to think she'd been ogling him. "I told you how I feel about your stupid nicknames." She tried to sound pissed but didn't pull it off.
Danny tried to hide his laugh, but didn't succeed.
Abby changed the subject. Much safer that way. "So, what time are we heading out in the morning?"
"Oh, nine hundred hours," Danny replied.
"Okay Sarg, I'll be ready." She looked at Danny and smiled. The elevator dinged and the doors opened onto the semi-private floor, which held only two suites. One of them for Abby and Sean, and the other was for her personal security guards.
"Well, military man, it's been a pleasure. I'm gonna go pass the hell out before I have to get up. Have a good night. 'Night Ron." She smiled at them both while they waited for her to enter her suite.
She slipped the keycard in the slot and walked into the foyer. She strolled into the large sunken living room that was semi-dark, the muted lights from the Vegas strip was the only light that guided her. She made it halfway through the living room before she stopped to remove her shoes from her aching feet. Clearly, some sadistic man created high-heeled shoes.
"Sean?" She called out and continued her journey into the bedroom. Abby opened the door and threw her shoes down next to the dresser.
Sean wasn't in the bedroom, and a twinge of anger gripped her throat. He said he'd be here when she got back. Even if he decided to go out with the band, he was supposed to be here. She turned the light on then dug into her bag for her phone. It wasn't there. "Fuck," she muttered as she walked to the phone next to the bed and dialed Sophie's room.
"Hey, sorry to bother you, but do you have my phone?"
"No, I don't think so, but let me look. Hold on."
Abby chewed her lip, thinking about Sean. Where the hell was he? Worse, who was he with? Her stomach started to ache with stress.
"Hey," Sophie said. "I don't have it."
"Fuck. I must've left it in my dressing room." Typical, considering the way her luck had been tonight. "It makes me nervous not to have it. I'll go back and look."
"You can't go alone."
"It'll only be twenty minutes. I'll just run downstairs and ask management to let me check my room."
"Bad idea to go by yourself. Ask one of the boys to go."
"They're probably already in bed. I won't be long. You know where I am. When I find my phone I'll call you."
"I'm still dressed. I'll go with you. I'll meet you at the elevator."
"You sure?" The last thing Abby wanted to do was take advantage of Sophie, who already had to jump through millions of hoops for her mother.
"Yes. Positive. By the time you reach my floor I'll be there."
"Okay, thanks." Abby hung up and slipped on a pair of flats before she left her room. At the elevator, she hesitated. Should she tell security? She stabbed the button but let guilt lead her the few paces to the other suite where she knocked on the door. A ding sounded behind her and she decided to grab the elevator and call her team when she got her phone. She hurried in before the doors closed.

~*~ Review ~*~ Remake by Ilima Todd
January 3, 2015 EndlessReadingBlog	1 Comment
by Ilima Todd
Nine is the ninth female born in her batch of ten females and ten males. By design, her life in Freedom Province is without complications or consequences. However, such freedom comes with a price. The Prime Maker is determined to keep that price a secret from the new batches of citizens that are born, nurtured, and raised androgynously.But Nine isn't like every other batcher. She harbors indecision
and worries about her upcoming Remake Day — her seventeenth birthday, the age when batchers fly to the Remake facility and have the freedom to choose who and what they'll be.
When Nine discovers the truth about life outside of Freedom
Province, including the secret plan of the Prime Maker, she is
pulled between two worlds and two lives. Her decisions will test
her courage, her heart, and her beliefs. Who can she trust? Who does she love? And most importantly, who will she decide to be?
I loved this book, it's different to others that I have read, so I was a tad dubious to read, but never fear, as I fell in love!
I have found yet again another author to stalk! SHA-TING!
I was totally drawn into the storyline and the love triangle was compelling
NINE is part of a batch of 10 batchlings in today's world – FREEDOM
Due to a virus wiping out the majority of the human race, only a few survived, and then they created the FREEDOM province, where the primemaker decides how many batchlings are made a month to minimise the population…
At the age of seventeen, the children are sent to the Remake facility where they can choose to be anything they want, they can change their hair colour, their skin colour, their gender and so on…
Yes, they have the freedom to choose who they will be on the outside, however, they're distracted by that superficial choice into giving up other freedoms…
For NINE though, things are different, she is different…
She has red hair and freckles and this has always made her stand out in the group. Due to this change she quickly forged a friendship with Theron who throughout her life has been her rock, they become one..
What happens when you find yourself finding life outside of FREEDOM's walls?
What happens when you experience things FREEDOM told you didn't exist?
What happens when a family changes your perspective on life itself?
I feel like part of the purpose of Dystopian books is to take one part of our society, take it to an extreme, and imagine what that would make our current life like
If you want a book that will capture you from page one, weave a descriptive spell, make you fall in love and shed a few tears, Remake will not disappoint.

In this edition of the ASMP 2.0 Admin IT Newsletter, we focus on providing key information to support you in your transition to Workday and the new technical architecture, specifically highlighting Service Availability, funding answers, and a new communication forum for the Admin IT Community. More information as well as an archive of previous newsletters is available on the Admin IT Wiki.
ASMP 2.0 is constructing a new technical architecture as a key component to the Application Modernization program and replacing the mainframe with a more updated technical ecosystem.
The Admin IT Wiki has been updated with comprehensive information on the technical architecture and the Services to be launched, along with a timeline of Service Availability, to support your unit in effectively planning for this transition. For more information, visit the Admin IT Wiki.
With the implementation of the new ASMP 2.0 Administrative Systems Technical Architecture, there has been great interest in the cost individual CSUs (Colleges, Schools and Units) will bear when utilizing the new architecture. The goal is to provide a cost-neutral architecture to CSUs that supports central administrative services; other CSU-supported services may be charged to the CSU, as is done with the current cost model. Visit the Admin IT Wiki for detailed information about Administrative Systems Technical Architecture Services that will be offered as Common Good.
ASMP 2.0 is excited to announce a new forum, the IT Readiness Coordinator Network, designed to assist the Admin IT community as we approach Workday Go Live in January 2017; the decommissioning of mainframe applications; and other modernization efforts across campus. Meetings are scheduled to start this month and then occur regularly throughout 2016.


If you have a desktop site which is not responsive or mobile compatible this plugin would do the job for you and your mobile visitors. It'll show a beautiful and well-designed mobile theme to only mobile visitors without modifying the code of your regular theme.
Custom Menus/Navigation – Fully compatible with WordPress custom menus. Use an existing menu or assign newly created menu for your mobile theme.
Can change themes or create new mobile theme easily.
Mobile only shortcode, Shows content inside it only on mobile devices.
Do I have to purchase both plugins to get all of the features or just purchase the PREMIUM version only to get both? Thanks again.
I take it the "Pro" Mobile version is $19. What would be your charge to install this on my WordPress site? ??
There are no charges, If you are having difficulties in installing the plugin I would do it on your site for free.
1) Like every other mobile theme I've tried, comments don't work on pages, even if they are enabled. Is it possible to get this working?
2) I use Google Analyticator to inset Google Analytics code on all the pages of my site. I guess this works with pages in your mobile theme too? If not, then you definitely need to add the ability to insert the code directly.
3) I guess the shortcode in the premium version would allow me to insert ad banners? How flexible is the placement of the shortcode?
4) In your demo, the Tiny theme doesn't appear to support images on the home page, but this is something I definitely want, and is supported by Thoughts. Does Tiny support images on the home page or not?
If Google Analyticator use standard wp hooks to add code inside WP themes then it'll also work with the mobile plugin themes.
You can add shortcode anywhere inside the page or post content.
The tiny theme does not support header image or logo as the thought theme does but with the use of custom mobile homepage you can add images on the homepage.
Please double check again the comments should be working on mobile themes, if not let me know your site url where it's not working and I'll fix the issue.
1) Comments work perfectly on posts, but they don't work on pages, even if comments are enabled on those pages.
2) By images, I meant images in the posts themselves (not the header). Thoughts displays them on the home page (which I want), but in your demo, Tiny doesn't. Is this a limitation of Tiny, or just the way it's set up in your demo?
The tiny theme supports images in the posts as well pages.
Yes, but does Tiny support images within posts *on the front page*?
And what about comments on pages? Are you intending to get them working? Once again, I *don't* mean posts – they work perfectly. They just don't work on pages.
Yes the tiny theme does support images on the frontpage.
The comments on page will work on Tiny theme I added the comments code on the page template files. The comments on the pages are working properly now.
Can the Pro version change the font color for links within pages?
Yes, It can. You can use the shortcode provided in the pro version to add custom css to your pages.

Reunion is de zevenentwintigste aflevering van het achtste seizoen van het tienerdrama Beverly Hills, 90210, die voor het eerst werd uitgezonden op 15 april 1998.

Plot

Er komt een reünie aan van de middelbare school waar de vriendengroep op hebben gezeten. Dit geeft toch redelijk wat spanningen omdat sommigen voor hun leven schamen en dat zij niet geworden zijn wat ze wilde. Er is een gids uitgebracht over alle leerlingen van wat ze op school deden en nu, Valerie heeft doorgegeven dat David een rockster is en dat vindt David een beetje overdreven, aangezien hij nu reclamejingles schrijft en wil nu niet naar de reünie omdat hij zich schaamt. Donna staat in de gids omschreven als een non omdat zij maagd wilde blijven tot haar huwelijk. Brandon en Kelly halen een oude vriendin op van het vliegveld, Andrea Zuckerman die hun vertelt dat zij gelukkig is met haar man en kind en dat zij medicijnen gaat studeren. Donna heeft zich aangemeld in het feestcomité en werkt nu met geslaagde medescholieren, als zij aan Donna vragen of zij een vriend heeft ontwijkt ze deze vraag maar na lang aandringen vertelt ze een relatie te hebben met Noah Hunter. Dit geloven zij niet omdat Noah in een blad staat met de meest succesvolle vrijgezellen. Donna gaat verhaal halen bij Noah en hij legt uit dat het artikel over jonge ondernemers zou gaan en wist niet dat dit artikel er zo uit zou gaan zien. Donna wil dat Noah mee gaat naar de reünie maar hij weigert dit en dat maakt Donna boos. Steve heeft een probleem met de Reünie, hij kan niemand vinden die met hem als partner ernaartoe wil. Als hij helemaal ten einde raad is besluit hij om met Janet te gaan, Janet is zeer vereerd, maar Steve vindt dit maar een noodoplossing.  Ondertussen heeft Valerie geregeld dat David mag optreden op de reünie en dit vindt David geen goed plan omdat hij eigenlijk niet wil gaan maar wordt toch overgehaald. Als Brandon en Andrea alleen zijn dan vertelt Andrea dat zij in een scheiding ligt met Jesse en dat zij geen goed huwelijk hebben gehad. Brandon probeert haar over te halen om te gaan vechten voor hun huwelijk. Andrea probeert hem duidelijk te maken dat zij dat al geprobeerd hebben en niet gewerkt heeft, Brandon zet door en dit maakt Andrea zeer emotioneel.

Dan breekt het moment aan dat de reünie begint, iedereen is er behalve Noah. Iedereen doet zich groter voor dan dat zij werkelijk zijn. Vooral Valerie doet zich heel groot voor omdat daar niemand haar kent. Steve komt een oude liefde tegen en vergeet Janet helemaal die hier flink van baalt en de reünie verlaat. De oude liefde neemt Steve mee naar de douches en vraagt hem uit te kleden en te gaan douchen, doet hij dit meteen. Onder de douche komt hij erachter dat zij weg is met zijn kleren en dat dit een wraakactie was van haar vanwege een pijnlijke grap die Steve vroeger had uitgehaald met haar. Kelly komt ook een oude bekende tegen, een jongen waar ze seks mee gehad heeft en hij dumpte haar meteen daarna, dit brengt pijnlijke gevoelens bij Kelly boven en besluit wraak te nemen met hulp van Valerie. Valerie brengt zijn hoofd op hol en dumpt hem midden tussen de mensen. Noah besluit om Donna te verrassen en gaat ook naar de reünie, dit zet de andere leden van het feestcomité met hun mond vol tanden. Brandon houdt een toespraak en denkt dat iedereen zich groter voordoet dan dat zij werkelijk zijn. Hierop biecht David op dat hij nu alleen reclamejingles schrijft en geen rockster is. Dit geeft een applaus van iedereen en nu komen er meer met de waarheid. Als afsluiting komt Steve naakt het podium op met alleen een deur voor zijn middel, dit tot grote hilariteit van iedereen. Steve beseft dat hij Janet als oud vuil heeft behandeld en gaat haar opzoeken om zijn excuses aan te bieden.
