Alabama's DeVonta Smith Named AP Player of the Year

A player on the top-ranked team in the nation, who hails from the state of Louisiana, became the first player from his school, as well as the first at his position, to win a certain major postseason award on Tuesday.
Alabama's DeVonta Smith was named the Associated Press College Football Player of the Year, becoming the first receiver to win the award since its inception in 1998.
In addition, Smith, a senior, became the first Alabama player to ever win the award.
A native of Amite City, Louisiana, and a graduate of Amite High Magnet School, Smith has compiled 98 catches for 1,511 yards and 17 touchdowns heading into the postseason, to go along with one rushing touchdown and one punt return for a score.
Smith's 17 receiving touchdowns this season set a new SEC record.
The 6-foot-1, 175-pound Smith was recently named the 2020 SEC Offensive Player of the Year.
As a freshman at Alabama in 2017, Smith caught 8 passes for 160 yards and three touchdowns, before registering 42 receptions for 693 yards and six touchdowns as a sophomore during the 2018 campaign.
In 2019 Smith had a breakout year as a junior, accumulating 68 catches for 1,256 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Smith received 26 first-place votes and 114 points to finish ahead of his teammate, quarterback Mac Jones, who received nine first-place votes and 67 points as he and Smith became the first teammates to finish 1-2 in the voting.
Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence finished third, while Florida quarterback Kyle Trask finished fourth.
Of the 22 Heisman Trophy winners since 1998, 17 of them also won the AP College Football Player of the Year Award.

Home Entertainment Joe Giudice: Teresa Barely Even Knows Her Fiance! What's the Rush?!?
Joe Giudice: Teresa Barely Even Knows Her Fiance! What's the Rush?!?
Joe Giudice has broken his silence.
The former Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member has finally addressed his ex-wife's engagement, speaking to Celebuzz about Teresa Giudice agreeing to marry Luis Ruelas.
As you can see below, Joe is at least claiming to be happy for his former spouse.
But he's also noting something a tad bit unusual about her relationship.
"I'm happy for Teresa and Louie, I give them my blessings," Joe told this outlet late last week, pointing out the following along with his well wishes:
"I think they moved a bit quick into this romance, but I'm glad she found her true love and wish them all the best."
Joe was married to Teresa for over 20 years and shares four daughters with the polarizing Bravo personality: Gia, 20, Gabriella, 17, Milania, 15, and Audriana, 12.
The pair split in late 2019 after both halves spent time in jail for committing bankruptcy fraud; Joe then got deported for his role in this financial scam.
Teresa then went public with Ruelas in November 2020, two months after finalizing her divorce from Joe.
At the time, Giudice wrote simply on Facebook: "Excited to reveal my new boyfriend."
We later learned that Ruelas is a businessman… a fellow New Jersey resident… and a father of two.
He proposed to Teresa in Greece last week, utilizing a fireworks display and going all out, sources said of the romantic moment.
"I spent my entire life dreaming of you…everyday without even knowing who you were," Ruelas wrote on Instagram, commemorating the couple's engagement.
"From the moment our eyes locked and voices connected on Bay boulevard at the Jersey shore, we began our journey understanding each other's paths and learning to appreciate how we had to go thru everything we did in our lives just to get to this point.
"These have been the most defining moments of my life and I am eternally grateful to share them with you.
"This is just the beginning of the rest of our lives."
As for why Teresa and Luis got engaged after less than a year of dating?
There were rumblings over the summer that Giudice might get fired by Bravo because her storylines have grown stale.
What a perfect way to spice things up then, right?
To get engaged and plan a wedding and provide producers with lots of new material?
Teresa and Luis sound pretty sure of their feelings, however.
When Rules made his Bravo debut during the season 11 finale in May, the two didn't hold back in any way whatsoever.
"I absolutely did not expect to meet you, and I really thought I'd probably be alone for like, the next 10 years," Ruelas said while enjoying a dinner date with Teresa, later adding:
"You're literally like, a dream come true."
He then declared Teresa not only the love of his life, but also his best friend and soul mate on Instagram a few days ago.
"I promise to always love you every second of every day and always be there for you and your 4 beautiful daughters," he wrote.
"I devote myself and my purpose in life to our goals and dreams. I am so grateful to walk this life with you not alone but together hand in hand until we are old."
The groom-to-be concluded his lovely message:
"I Love you baby."

LongHorn Steakhouse will build a new restaurant in the Franklin Towne Plaza. Image from the Boise Planning & Development Services website.
The LongHorn Steakhouse restaurant chain will replace the Chili's Grill & Bar at Franklin Road and Milwaukee in the Franklin Towne Plaza.
LongHorn will demolish the 5,093-square-foot Chili's building that was constructed in 1990 and build a new 5,593-square-foot restaurant, according to city of Boise Planning & Development Services documents.
The Chili's is expected to close in May, said John Little, vice president of operations at Pardigm Restaurants, which acquired the seven Chili's stores in Idaho in October through U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Great Falls, Mont.

This LongHorn Steakhouse will be the first in Idaho. LongHorn, founded in 1981 in Atlanta, has more than 470 restaurants in 40 states but none in Oregon and Washington and only three in Utah.
LongHorn is a division of Darden Restaurants, which also owns Olive Garden.
The architect is GHA Architecture of Dallas, Texas.
Don't worry, Kelly Lynn Oayl, you go and get a Flo's filet and all will be well :-) Very excited to see Longhorn finally coming to Idaho and the Treasure Valley at that!
Sorry to see Chili's go, but anxious to have a good steakhouse in the area.


Something I stumbled across some time ago but forgot to share. There is a comprehensive Enterprise Architecture Wiki available. I haven't browsed it extensively so I can't comment on the depth, breadth or quality. But at least it looks promising.

last update 1-13-15 - I've been experimenting with video clips on the site for several years now to help give you a better feel of what it's like at some of these gorgeous falls. To me - pictures are nice, video is better, but it still isn't like being there in person. I began shooting with small camcorders back in the Digital 8 days, but now use a combination of my still cameras and GoPro. All of my videos are now posted on my YouTube Channel here. If you subscribe, you'll be notified whenever I post a new one. I still have videos posted on my Vimeo Channel and you may find some there that I don't have on YouTube. Now that I'm retired, I have more time to shoot and still have older video clips that I need to go through and process. I've also been embedding some of these videos into the web site and plan on returning to a lot of the waterfalls so I can get footage (or better footage) to post with the directions to the waterfalls. Thanks for looking!

Q: How to get the top level parent term related to the current archive page? I have a custom taxonomy called product_category that holds products. How does one get the top-level parent term with a list of children terms?
I know how to get a global list of top-level terms using get_terms() and passing in '0' as the parent, but I only want the one that it related to the current archive page.
Example:
Magazines
--Glossy
----Fashion
Books
--Hardcover
----Adventure
If I happened to be on the Fashion archive, I only want to get Magazines with a list of child terms, not Books.

A: I think I figured it out. I ended up with the following:
$term_id = get_queried_object()->term_id; //Get ID of current term
$ancestors = get_ancestors( $term_id, 'product_category' ); // Get a list of ancestors
$ancestors = array_reverse($ancestors); //Reverse the array to put the top level ancestor first
$ancestors[0] ? $top_term_id = $ancestors[0] : $top_term_id = $term_id; //Check if there is an ancestor, else use id of current term
$term = get_term( $top_term_id, 'product_category' ); //Get the term
echo $term->name; // Echo name of top level ancestor

Perhaps there is a better way to do this, but this seems to work fine.

A: I like that solution cbi. I can't believe I've had such a difficulty getting this information when making a custom hierarchical taxonomy term archive.

A:

<?php

  $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'categories' );
  if ( !empty( $terms ) ){
    // get the first term
    $term = array_shift( $terms );
    $term_id = $term->term_id;
  }

  $ancestors = get_ancestors( $term_id, 'categories' ); // Get a list of ancestors

The last JPWG-MOC was held in 2019. It is a specialized mechanism established under the Philippines-Vietnam Joint Commission for Bilateral Cooperation (JCBC).
JOINT MARINE RESEARCH EXPEDITION


♥Everyone, thank you very much for visiting our hotel Saginoyu.
Which was the most happy? I think that the melody is the deceased husband.
She is the one I loved the most.
Family members, now the melody is a signboarder of Saginonu! Please do not worry. Next time, I also want to visit Manila At that time I would appreciate your favor.
Hi, Staying in Saginoyu Hotel in one winter of December 2016 was one of my unforgettable experience in visiting Japan. The Onsen Hot bath, wore Yukata, savored the Japanese food, slept in their room ventilated by natural winter breeze and most specially being touched by the hospitality of Mrs. Atsuko herself and her staff were moments I will cherish for the rest of my life. If will be given a chance, I will return and bring my family and friends in Saginoyu Hotel and meet again the happy faces of their staff and most of all Mrs. Atsuko. A heartfelt gratitude also to the bridge of meeting them, the Leviste family and Ate Mirai. Maraming pong Salamat!

The OECD as Pivot of the Emerging Global Educational Accountability Regime: How Accountable are the Accountants?
This article describes OECD ideological and policy changes that form the background for PISA. Furthermore, the author focuses on the OECD's governance mechanisms and the obstacles it presents to public scrutiny. The author argues that the pursuit of market mechanisms posed both educational and political problems on the OECD's accountability regime. He argues that in order to redress the asymmetries between strong influence and weak democratic control will require profound advances in the organization of the global public sphere. He proposes to broaden the global educational discourse, in which the accountability narrative is complemented by narratives of local institutional learning, educational tradition, democratic participation, and cultural diversity.
Preparing Teachers for Professional Learning: Is There a Future for Teacher Education in New Teacher Induction?
In this article, the authors explore which factors support or constrain professional learning during initial years of teaching. The findings reveal that novice teachers generally experienced a positive welcome into their schools and the support of well-meaning colleagues. The majority of the new teachers perceive their initial induction to be useful and, in particular, they credit mentoring with assisting their transition into teaching. The authors conclude that providing opportunities for the new teacher to observe other teachers and to be observed by a mentor emerged as central tasks of learning to teach for these new teachers.

The Xerox DocuMate 6710 is the ideal scanner for both large-volume and distributed scanning environments. It has a duty cycle of up to 35,000 sheets per day and has been engineered with innovative features for easy operation and productive batch scanning, including stapled document, ultrasonic double feed detection and support for long document scanning.
Digital transformation is here, and for many enterprises, capturing large quantities of paper will continue to be a vital need. Discovery documents in the legal world. Incoming medical records in healthcare. Client documents in asset management, banking and mortgage services. Testing and student records in education. Applications in customs, immigration and other government services. Clearing boxes of historical records everywhere else. All of these applications require an on-ramp that will handle these needs with operator ease and no surprises with the ongoing cost of ownership.
The DocuMate 6710's 100 ppm / 200 ipm speed is just the start of the story. Visioneer's On-Board Acuity technology handles 15 image enhancements in hardware, saving PC processing time. A true native USB 3.0 connection delivers a fast pipeline. Finishing off the job, Visioneer Acuity detects the available memory and processing power of the connected PC and uses multi-thread, multi-core logic to ensure that the PC itself isn't the bottleneck. The result: scan speeds as advertised.
You can connect multiple DocuMate 6710's to one scanning workstation, multiplying the number of pages handled every hour. And each scanner can be running a different workflow. This opens up a completely new way to handle scans in a concurrent fashion. Connect two 6710's, scan on one while you're setting up the other. Or run several at the same time. We support up to 10 connections – the only limitation is the capacity of the connected workstation.
The industry's first scanner workflow solution, Visioneer's OneTouch with Acuity allows operators to define the steps the scan will go through from scanning to integration with the destination. What's more, the 6710 can store up to 90 jobs on the control panel display, so they can be selected without the PC. Completing the story, Visioneer TWAIN DriverPLUS with Acuity provides precise control of scan settings, beyond the TWAIN drivers offered by competitors. This is vital to easy integration with IT and cloud document and content applications.
Visioneer Acuity with DriverPLUS technology enables your scanner to instantly improve the visual clarity of scans. On the DocuMate 6710, fifteen Acuity features are onboard, which means it is built into the scanner hardware, thus saving CPU power and keeping you scans going at full speed.

Visioneer OneTouch is an easy-to-use scanning utility that sends your scanned documents to nearly any destination by simply pressing a button on your Xerox® DocuMate® scanner. The scanned files are automatically delivered to a folder, email, Microsoft Office application, a local or network printer, or create a custom workflow. OneTouch is integrated with Visioneer Acuity so the image enhancement features are all available with the simplicity of one button scanning.
Based on the most current TWAIN 2.X specifications, Visioneer DriverPLUS combines the features of advanced 32- and 64-bit native Windows®-based TWAIN and WIA drivers PLUS. It seamlessly integrates with Visioneer OneTouch and Visioneer Acuity, creating an integrated software solution that produces scanned images of the best quality possible. Barcode reading and Patch Code Detection are included in DriverPLUS.
This powerful OCR tool converts scanned images into editable text reducing the need for retyping and paper storage. Convert your scans into various file formats, including searchable PDFs. It accurately reads documents in up to 179 languages and precisely preserves the original document's layout and formatting.

The Hellcat Years [digital] (2012)
Hellcat Records
Reviewer Joe Pelone
If you have any sense at all, you like the Clash. Maybe you prefer the punkier material on The Clash and Give 'Em Enough Rope. Maybe you like the more dub-influenced mid-period stuff or the more pop-friendly Combat Rock. You definitely don't acknowledge Cut the Crap's existence, though, and everything the members did after that is hazy. All you know is you like Joe Strummer's bark and wit, the way he just oozed rock 'n' roll cool, but you never kept up with his "wilderness years" or his late period creative resurgence a few years before his 2002 death. If your wits are still about you, then you need to click the iTunes link above and buy The Hellcat Years.
For $24.99, Hellcat Records is offering up a digital box set containing the three best albums of Strummer's post-Clash career, which just so happen to have been recorded with his other band, the Mescaleros, plus a whole mess of rarities (more on those later for all you diehards. I still got some baptisms to initiate). The records will receive a physical release Sept. 25 [Note: I am thoroughly stoked to finally own Rock Art and the X-Ray Style on vinyl], but they can't compare to the price or immediate satisfaction of going digital. Yeah, I already own most of the rarities via singles and bootlegs, and the records aren't even remastered, and really, we need a true rarities box set a la Bruce Springsteen's Tracks, but got-dammit, this is Woody we're talking about here.
While Strummer never really slowed down artistically in the late '80s and '90s, he never quite put out a record as stirring as, say, London Calling, during that time. The best of that period, arguably the mostly instrumental Walker soundtrack, was more conducted by Strummer than it was written by him. That all changed with the Mescaleros' 1999 debut, Rock Art and the X-Ray Style. Previously, Strummer took his love of all music down many paths; here is where he fused it all together, combining folk, rock and electronic vibes with a handful of dub flourishes. Rock Art is also the cleanest-sounding of the Mescaleros records, perhaps owing to it originally being released by Mercury Records before Clash super fan Tim Armstrong swooped in and gave the band a better support network.
Rock Art is perhaps the most underrated of the Mescaleros albums, probably because it doesn't rock so much as groove. While there are some certified bangers ("Techno D-Day," "Tony Adams"), it's more defined by slightly spacey dancers like single "Yalla, Yalla." But it's still a damn fine listening experience, and the reissue adds in some choice B-sides like "Time and the Tide" and a surprisingly awesome dub remix of "Yalla, Yalla" that runs seven minutes.
By any measurement (production, lyrics, energy, genre mashing) follow-up Global A Go-Go is the better record, though. It only gets one rarity tacked on (a live version of "Bhindi Bhagee," which just seems anticlimactic after the lengthy Celtic folk of proper closer "Minstrel Boy"), but it still wins out by simply refining Rock Art's qualities. The folk is folksier on "Johnny Appleseed." The dub is slicker on the title track. The electronic textures are less pronounced, but they definitely add a splash of flavor. Strummer's lyrics bounce platitudes and rhymes ("If you're after getting the honey / Then you don't go killing all the bees" is up there with "He who fucks nuns will later join the Church" and "Ha / You think it's funny / Turning rebellion into money"). At 80 minutes or so, it's really a double album, and would have been a fitting end to the Mescaleros' legacy as the group's last proper studio effort.
But I still say Streetcore is the best of the three albums. While Strummer laid down a few tracks before his passing ("Coma Girl," "Get Down Moses"), the record is really a demo collection, pulling in acoustic songs from Strummer's vaults, such as "Long Shadow," which Strummer unsuccessfully wrote for Johnny Cash, along with "Redemption Song" and "Silver and Gold." The Mescaleros' material up to this point was pretty jammy, but they still worked in plenty of Clash songs live, creating an intense ebb/flow. Streetcore's most fully realized songs find a middle ground, keeping the world music approach but upping the oomph. It contains some of Strummer's best songs, and I do mean of all time. "Coma Girl," an ode to his daughters and Glastonbury, England, is a straight up catchy rocker. "Get Down Moses" lives up to its title. "Arms Aloft" is searing. In some ways it feels unfinished and even a little slight at just 10 tracks, but that makes it all the more poignant as the group's last record. Streetcore was put together after Strummer died, but it somehow still feels like the best representation of the Mescaleros.
Because of their slight diversity, any one of these albums makes an ideal starting point, and this cheap digital box set makes the choice that much easier. Also, the bevy of live rarities are exclusive to the digital version. My word. While these have been available elsewhere for years, there's still a great thrill in hearing the band take on Jimmy Cliff's "The Harder They Come," the Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop" and Dandy Livingstone's "Rudy, A Message to You.". Plenty of Clash tunes get revisited as well, like "Rudy Can't Fail," "(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais" and "Police on My Back." The best of the bunch, though, is three tracks that been circulating for a while on a bootleg called The Acton E.P..
The Acton E.P. was a recording of one the Mescaleros' last shows, Nov. 15, 2002, at a Fire Brigades Union benefit show…featuring a reunion with Clash guitarist/vocalist Mick Jones. Up first is a nine-and-a-half dubbed out take on "Bankrobber." As great as the original Clash version sounded, this is the best rendition. The listener feels every organ hit, every melodica shot. Drummer Luke Bullen holds down a nice beat throughout, letting the other members take turns soloing before finally the track up a notch at the end for a rocking finale. Then everybody rips through "White Riot" and "London's Burning" like it ain't no thing. Holy shit.
Strummer died too young. But with a set as heavy as this one, which was released to coincide with his birthday no less, his many accomplishments still resonate. I cannot be hyperbolic enough; buy this.

Original Foldable Antenna
RACE RESULT is the market leader
Five years ago, RACE RESULT first introduced the foldable antenna. This innovation revolutionized the timing industry and quickly became one of the biggest draws of timing companies to switch to RACE RESULT technology.
Now timing crews could spend less time laying out antenna mats and connecting cables; race directors could close roads later on race morning and have the course cleared faster after the last racer finished. The modular design allowed timers to customize their setup for an up to 16m wide antenna mats.
The foldable antennas are German engineered and produced at the RACE RESULT Headquarters in Pfinztal, Germany. After five years, the RACE RESULT's foldable antennas are still the market leader but have already been copied by other parties.
Patented Solution
RACE RESULT holds the US patent for the antenna mat's innovative design feature that allows the mats to be folded without removing the antennas or cables. Timing mats in which the cables are removed for storage, like the Chronotrack gators, and mats that are rollable, such as those developed by Mylaps, do not infringe on the RACE RESULT patent. However, any timing mat that is foldable with antennas and cables staying inside the mat directly infringes on the RACE RESULT patent. For more information about the patent, please contact us or read the full patent description here.
"Patent applications are neither easy, nor cheap, but it's important to protect our technology innovations for both our own company and our timing partners", says Nikias Klohr, CTO of RACE RESULT. "We spent a lot of resources to develop and test the mats before bringing them to market. It is important for us to offer our customers a high-quality product that will withstand years of repeated use, no matter the size of event. We need to protect not only our investment into development, but also the investments that our customers made into our technology. They should not have to compete with other timing companies using cheap copy-cat products. New products like our foldable mat and track box bring our industry forward as a direct result of continuous innovation. This is only possible through a sustainable business model and covering our development costs."
Innovative & Sustainable
Marc Roy, CEO of Sportstats, the world's largest timing company, shares his thoughts about partnering with reputable manufacturers: "We pride ourselves in using the best timing technology on the market. Ultimately it comes down to not only who has the best technology, but also who is going to be a long-term partner. We want our partners to be sustainable enough to be able to make it through a crisis like the timing industry is seeing with Covid now, to support us worldwide, and to keep on innovating and bringing out new cool products every year. It's important for advancement of our industry to have companies like RACE RESULT that continuously push the envelope with innovation."
The RACE RESULT foldable antennas are part of the RACE RESULT timing system with the UHF Decoder 5000s, but also work independently with other 3rd party decoders and transponders and can be purchased separately. Support and maintenance of all RACE RESULT products for US customers is managed by the RACE RESULT team from our US offices. The US office keeps original spare parts like cables and antennas on stock, and also offers a rental service to support timing partners with additional antennas for larger events.

Inspecting the Inspector: NebuAD's Targeted Advertising Gets Scrutinized
By Public Knowledge
As you might recall, last Friday, we took a look at a deal made between Internet service provider (ISP) Charter and NebuAD, a company that specializes in "highly-targeted" advertising. In a nutshell, NebuAD installed Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) devices on Charter's network, in order to harvest user data, which was then used to serve ads to specific users based on their surfing habits. This, of course, raised a number of privacy concerns and furthermore, served as a disconcerting reminder that non-neutral or "tiered" networks are very much technologically feasible.
Well, in the days since our last post on the topic, a number of folks have taken notice of NebuAD and Charter's actions–and we're not just talking about the usual suspects in the blogosphere. On Friday, Representatives Edward Markey (D-MA) and Joe Barton (R-TX) sent a letter (PDF link) to Charter's President and CEO, Neil Smit, asking the company to put a hold on its venture with NebuAD pending a "discussion" of the privacy issues that the program raises. Specifically, they cite the Communications Act of 1934, which categorically states that companies that are involved in the transmission of communications should not knowingly divulge the contents of those communications. "Any service to which a subscriber does not affirmatively subscribe and that can result in the collection of information about the web-related habits and interests of a subscriber…without the 'prior written or electronic consent of the subscriber,' raises substantial questions related to Section 631 [of the Communications Act]," the Congressmen write.
Did Charter acquire the consent of its users before deploying its NebuAD-assisted advertising service? Considering that the company simply notified its users of the opt-out program via a form letter, the answer seems to be a resounding "no". What's more, even the opt-out nature of the program is currently in question: as Ryan Singel at Wired's "Threat Level" blog noted last Friday, it's unclear whether opting-out of the service actually prevents your personal information from being collected by NebuAD's DPI sniffers or if it simply prevents you from seeing the ads associated with the service.
Clearly, the folks at Charter and NebuAD have a lot of explaining to do. But the Communications Act is far from being the last of their worries. As Cnet's Declan McCullagh pointed out earlier this week, NebuAD's service might also run afoul of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (ECPA), which states that providers of electronic communication services "shall not intentionally divulge the contents of any communication." Meanwhile, others are calling for either the Federal Trade Commission or the Federal Communications Commission to open up an investigation into NebuAD's business practices. To that end, the Center for Democracy and Technology filed comments with the FTC in April (PDF link), asking the Commission to address the issue of advertising-related monitoring and to clarify that an opt-out mechanism does not constitute user consent.
Clearly, the case against Charter and NebuAD is mounting. And just in the nick of time too: as it turns out, NebuAD's deal with Charter is just the tip of the iceberg. A number of regional ISPs have inked deals with NebuAD–and are either currently testing their services or plan to do so in the near future–including Wide Open West, Knology, CenturyTel and Embarq. And that's not to mention NebuAD competitors like Phorm and Front Porch, both of which are actively marketing similar services to ISPs. Here's hoping that NebuAD gets a slap on the wrist sooner, rather than later–otherwise we could all soon find DPI gear peeking over our shoulders.

Q: Add Fragment at Runtime, set its layout at runtime, no layout xml files involved in Android I have an activity that creates its layout dynamically in onCreate.  It looks like this:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    /*
     laying out screen at runtime (activity_main.xml is not used).
     */
    LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
            ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
            ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
            100);
    LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);
    ll.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);

    // instantiate my class that does drawing on Canvas
    bubble = new Bubble(this);
    bubble .setLayoutParams(lp);
    bubble .setBackgroundColor(MY_COLOR);
    ll.addView(bubble);
    setContentView(ll);
}

So, there is no layout at all and that is how it should stay.
I would like to add fragment instead of code above, then as part of the fragment onCreate(), instantiate my Bubble class to do drawing.  The fragment should also not have any layout defined in layout XML file but it should all be at runtime.
Much appreciated,

A: Reworking your code to use Fragments is pretty straightforward. Move the View declarations to the Fragment, move the instantiations to its onCreateView() method, and return the parent ViewGroup. For example:
public class BubbleFragment extends Fragment
{
    Bubble bubble;

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        /*
         laying out screen at runtime (activity_main.xml is not used).
         */
        LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
            ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
            ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
            100);
        LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(getActivity());
        ll.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);

        // instantiate my class that does drawing on Canvas
        bubble = new Bubble(getActivity());
        bubble.setLayoutParams(lp);
        bubble.setBackgroundColor(MY_COLOR);
        ll.addView(bubble);

        return ll;
    }
}

Please note that the Views' constructors' arguments have been changed to getActivity(), since a Fragment is not a Context. Also, if no more Views are going to be added to the Fragment, you could omit the LinearLayout, and just return the Bubble object.
The Activity will need its own layout that includes a ViewGroup - commonly a FrameLayout - to hold the Fragment. Whether you use a predefined XML layout or generate it dynamically doesn't matter. You just need an ID for the ViewGroup that you can pass to one of the FragmentTransaction#add() methods. For example:
BubbleFragment keplerFragment = new BubbleFragment(...);
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.content, keplerFragment, TAG_KEPLER_FRAGMENT);

And, as mentioned in comments, since AppCompatActivity extends FragmentActivity, you don't need to change your Activity's superclass.


My experience developing both my corporate and federal résumés and KSAs was excellent. The first time I applied for a position after Angela's assistance, I was hired on the spot. A couple of months later, I applied for a federal position and was hired. When I called personnel to get my score, it was 95.94. A year later I was able to update my résumé and do my own KSAs (because of what I learned from Angela). When I called personnel to retrieve my score that time, it was 98.11. Receiving a 98.11 raised my confidence.
I had applied for different positions with the federal government but I never made the certification. This was very frustrating for me since I have 10 years of work experience for the job I was applying. I just could not seem to score high enough to make the certification. In less than a half hour, Angela helped me understand how to write more effective résumés. I was able to write my KSA's more effectively in my own words just by remembering the instructions that Angela gave me.
In June, 2001, I made the certification for a federal position, scoring 96. I was interviewed and hired as a Grade 11. I have since sent out another résumé for another federal position. I made the certification and got an interview. Someone else was hired for the position but I feel confident that I will get the position that I want because Angela helped me understand, in such a short time, how to refine my old résumé into an effective résumé.
After reading an example of Angela Watkins' writings on a quality ranking factor, my first impression was this work has to be the work of a professional writer. The quality of the document was exactly what employers want to see when reviewing an applicant's ranking factors and/or résumés. Her writing is professionally structured with persuasive, compelling, and achievement-focused content. I recommend Angela's services in helping anyone put into words the work they do best.
My brainstorming sessions with Angela Watkins have been very helpful regarding preparing an application for a federal position. I have learned, very reluctantly, to "toot my own horn" when outlining my skills and abilities for various positions.
She always provides me with a fresh perspective on what I consider to be my mundane attributes. This has been very helpful to me, as it allows me to see how others view what I consider routine matters.
As a result of her assistance, I was one of ten people; out of more than 100 applicants; that scored 100 in the ranking process.
On many occasions, I have used Angela Watkins' service to build or re-vamp my résumé. Angela has the ability to draw information out to improve a résumé. One of the things I enjoy most is that she does not tell lies or embellish the résumé. She forces me to look at my accomplishments and list them. I, like most people, find it hard to "sell" myself. Angela brings an outside view and pushes to get the information that is needed and forces me to view myself like I would a prospective employee.
On a recent interview, I received great praise on how informative and well written my résumé was. That praise belongs to Angela.
By working with Angela to prepare my résumé, I have learned that I have an important position within my organization and that there is no job duty that is too small. I've learned to appreciate and to be proud of the skills I have acquired and, in some cases mastered, to realize my full potential. Also, I've learned that there is an order to a résumé (duties, accomplishments and awards). Lastly, that sometimes less is more.


3 Sun Kissed Boys: Makes Me Happy!
When the boys go out to play, Sun Kissed Boy #3 is usually the last one out. Being the youngest just means he's not mastered the throw-on-whatever-t-shirt-n-shorts-happen-to-be-lying-on-the-floor skills that his older brothers have. When he comes outside to play, he'll have methodically picked out an outfit just for him.
Let's take a closer look, shall we? The t-shirt is right side out but backwards. So is the shirt (which he refers to as jacket), just upside down.
Then we have the case with the pants. We'll ignore the fact that they are jammy pants. But they are wrong side out AND backwards! Of course this outfit begs for shoes to be put on in the wrong feet, don't you think?
Even though we've tried to teach him again and again, he does this quite often. So when I asked him why he insists on wearing his outfits backwards, he's response was "It makes me happy, Mom!" 'Nough said, my son!
Enjoy your weekend everybody! Hope you wear what makes you happy!
Oh how sweet. It makes him happy. Well, at least he's consistent in how he puts things on and he knows what he likes. Maybe this is a sign that he will grow up and be an independent thinker and not just follow the crowd.
This is so cute and you are a great mom to let him have fun like this. My youngest daughter, she's 11 now, used to put crazy clothing combos together. I had to stop myself from comstantly telling her it didn't match. She didn't care, it made her happy. Can't argue with that?
this is the BEST post...it made me SMILE!!
reminded me when my son was this age - he came out with his swimsuit on but the liner was somehow slung over one of his shoulders. Still to this day have no idea how he actually accomplished that but it was quite a (tarzan-like) look! Good moments!
oh, so cute!!! He is so sweet! Love this outfit...really. It makes me happy, too! Hmm, my 20 year old still dresses like that sometimes...I guess he's happy.
Ah, so sweet! Whatever makes him happy. I let my four-year-old wear whatever he wants as long as it's not TOO clash-y.
My two-year-old, though, wanted to be buck naked today!
That is adorable! He's happy, so who cares??
I wish backwards shirts and mismatched socks made me happy. Maybe I should work on that.
And hearing about it makes us happy, too...thanks for the laugh, Yanet.
That is EXACTLY the way my youngest dressed. He also happens to be addicted to rainboots and will wear them everyday. He's been known to pair them with swimshorts or khaki pants and a button-down long-sleeved shirt. I absolutely love the creativity and the fact that he puts so much thought into what he is wearing makes it even better.


We left Fernandina Beach on Monday morning and had a relatively short day of motoring down the ICW to a point just north of the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, FL. We could've gone farther, but it would have meant anchoring in an area that was exposed to strong currents and the wind. We opted instead for a protected anchorage just north of the Sisters Creek Bridge. We spent a pleasant afternoon on the hook, but it started getting cold as soon as the sun went down. The temperature dropped into the low 30s overnight, and it was 40 degrees inside the boat when we woke up on Tuesday morning. Thankfully, our down sleeping bags kept us warm through the night.
As soon as the sun came up on Tuesday, we hauled in the anchor and continued south. We were lucky to be heading in the same direction as the tidal current for much of the day, and made good time. We reached our planned Tuesday night stop around noon, so we decided to keep moving and aim for St. Augustine. We arrived by mid-afternoon. The picture above is of Suzy enjoying her favorite pasttime — taking pictures of points of interest along the way. That's downtown St. Augustine. You will note the various jerry cans lashed to the boat's railing: yellow for diesel fuel; red for gasoline; light blue for potable water. We also have a spare propane tank there. These are reserves in case we run low. Not much chance of that in Florida, but they will probably come in handy in the Bahamas. Needless to say, the bow is definitely a No Smoking zone.
This is the historic Bridge of Lions in St. Augustine. Most states are building new bridges over the ICW with clearances of 60-65 feet — high enough for most sailboats to go under. In fact, the Sisters Creek drawbridge that we stopped next to on Monday night is currently being replaced. The contractor building the bridge is one that worked with me on a couple of projects at the World's Busiest Airport, so it was like old times watching them working on the new Sisters Creek Bridge. Anyway, I doubt that the State of Florida will ever replace the Bridge of Lions. It's too much of a landmark. The bridge opens every 30 minutes to let boats pass. In contrast to the tales we've heard of most bridge tenders, the guy working the Bridge of Lions when we passed was helpful and personable.
That brings up a point I need to make. In all of our preparations for this cruise, and of all of the people that we've dealt with, we have been blessed to receive generosity, patience, encouragement and helpfulness from every one. I once read a quote that went something like, "Don't share your cruising dreams with anyone, because the folks who've given up on their dreams will try to sabotage yours." Well, we've shared our cruising dreams with everybody, and nobody has been anything other than supportive. I was leery of telling my colleagues at work of my plans, but felt I owed it to them to give them full warning of my pending departure. Instead of booting me out the door immediately, they worked with me to reach a reasonable completion of my projects, and even expressed a desire for me to return when our cruise is completed. Other cruisers have shared their logs with us so we can get a better feel of the places we want to go. They've given us charts, books and helpful advise. Friends have loaned or outright given us gear and equipment. Our neighbors in St. Marys are looking after our house. Our families are supportive. The only imperative we've been given is, "Don't drown." Of course, that goes without saying. I mention all of this in order to express how deeply grateful we are for the support of our colleagues, friends and family, and to say a great big "Thank You" to them all.
So, here we sit on a pleasant afternoon, sipping wine in the cockpit — before the sun goes down and it gets cold — looking across the mooring field at St. Augustine. The wind is calm and the water is smooth. It's been a wild ride to get here, but my perspective is finally starting to shift. It's beginning to feel like cruising.

Q: passing ruby parameters as query string in Jquery ajax I am using jquery draggable and droppable functions. SO when an element is dropped an ajax call would be initiated passing parameters as query string. I know how to pass query string. But i need to do some conditional checking in query string parameters. I am not sure how it can be done. Please find my code below.
jQuery('#<%= qtr %>').droppable({
    hoverclass: 'e_high',
    accept: function(elm) {
        if (jQuery(this).hasClass('<%=name%>_edit'))
            return true;
        },
        drop: function() {
            jQuery.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: '/sections/reorder?site_id=<%=@site.id%>&page=<%=@page%>?<%=@page.id%>:nil&ref_id=<%=section.id%>&name=<%=name%>'

Is the above method of passing query string correct. I am getting a No method error. Nil object. When i checked the terminal the params are Parameters: {"page"=>"", "site_id"=>"11650ecf55668fed9e7a624c93adcba2"}

A: For one thing, your ternary question mark and colon are in the wrong place, they should be inside the ERB delimiters. You'd be better off use the data option for $.ajax here; this will not only be cleaner but it will keep you from using GET parameters in a POST request. And you should be escaping your values for using in JavaScript with escape_javascript. Try it like this:
jQuery.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: '/sections/reorder',
    data: {
        site_id: '<%= j(@site.id) %>',
        page: '<%= j(@page ? @page.id : '') %>',
        ref_id: '%<= j(section.id) %>',
        name: '%<= j(name) %>'
    },
    //...

This assumes of course that section and name are available in ERB as Ruby variables rather than client-side JavaScript variables.
And if for some reason you must use a GET query string with a POST request, then you'd want something like this:
url: '/sections/reorder?site_id=<%= j(@site.id) %>&page=<%= j(@page ? @page.id : '') %>&ref_id=<%= j(section.id) %>&name=<%= j(name) %>'

Wonder: Book review - level 2
Wonder هو كتاب عن طفل عادي اسمه أوجي شكله مختاف تماماً عن جميع الأطفال في سنه.
قم بحل التمرين التمهيدي أولاً ثم اقرأ المقالة. إذا كانت سهلة بالنسبة لك، حاول قراءة المقالات في المستوى التالي. بعد القراءة قم بحل التمارين لتتأكد من الفهم
What's Wonder about?
Wonder tells the story of August, a ten-year old boy who lives with his parents and sister in New York. August, or Auggie as his family call him, is an ordinary boy in many ways. He rides a bike and likes playing with his Xbox. But Auggie was born with deformities of the face and looks very different from other kids. At the start of the book, he tells us 'My name is August. I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.' Auggie's appearance shocks people. People look at him for a long time or sometimes they look away as soon as they see him.
Auggie's had 27 operations on his face and has spent a lot of time in hospital. His mother has taught him at home, but now that he's ten, she thinks he should go to school. At first, Auggie hates the idea of school and doesn't want to go. He worries that other kids will look at him strangely or call him horrible names, but his parents persuade him to visit a school and meet the headteacher. After the visit, Auggie decides that, yes, he will go to school.
Like many kids, Auggie is really anxious on the first day. Because of his face, nobody wants to sit next to him and he notices other kids looking and talking about him behind their hands. Fortunately, he makes friends with Jack, a boy in his class, and Flower, a girl he chats with at lunch. But after surviving the first day, Auggie soon learns that his classmates are saying they will catch 'the plague' if they touch him. Wonder tells the story of Auggie's first year at school and how other kids treat him. It's a difficult year with good and bad times. But towards the end, a frightening and dramatic event at a school camp changes things completely.
Is it a good book?
Wonder is an excellent book that tells a moving and inspiring story. It's fast-moving and gripping too. I found myself reading it on the bus even if I only had time to read a couple of pages. It appeals to all age groups and is very popular with teenagers and adults. Auggie is a very likeable central character. He's got a good sense of humour, so the book is both funny and sad at times. It's a fascinating story about a regular kid who's living in a world that's not used to people who look different.
One great thing about the book is that it's told from the point of view of different characters. We begin with Auggie, but then the story is told by his sister, Via, and his schoolmates till we come back to Auggie at the end. This works really well as we find out what it's like for Via to have a younger brother who takes a lot of her parents' attention. We also learn how Jack is left out of the 'popular group' at school, just because he is Auggie's friend.
A bestseller
Wonder is RJ Palacio's first novel. On her website, she explains that the idea for the book came to her after seeing a girl with facial deformities on the street one day. Wonder has been a bestseller in the United States and has won several awards. Many schools are using it to start discussions about bullying, friendship and being different. A film version is being made, and many, including me, are looking forward to seeing what RJ Palacio writes next.

Mississippi Approves License Plates With New State Flag Design
Laurin Stennis says her flag design represents unity. It has red vertical bars on each side and a white center with a large blue star encircled by 19 smaller ones, representing Mississippi as the 20th state. Photo courtesy Stennis Flag Flyers
By The Associated Press Friday, April 19, 2019 12:14 p.m. CDT
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi residents who want a state flag without the Confederate battle emblem will soon be able to display one on their license plate.
Gov. Phil Bryant signed a bill Tuesday authorizing the state to sell several new specialty license plates, starting July 1. One of them features a proposed state flag designed by Jackson artist Laurin Stennis.
Legislators have not changed the actual flag that's the last in the U.S. with the Confederate emblem, although some have pushed for the "Stennis Flag."
Stennis says her design represents unity. It has red vertical bars on each side and a white center with a large blue star encircled by 19 smaller ones, representing Mississippi as the 20th state.
She is the granddaughter of the late U.S. Sen. John C. Stennis, who served 41 years before retiring in 1989 and was a segregationist much of his career. He died in 1995.
"What is the role of a state flag? In this day and age, it is marketing and branding," Laurin Stennis, 46, told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "If any company or any corporation had a symbol that hurt its morale and its bottom line the way ours does, they'd change it immediately."
Like most specialty license plates in Mississippi, this one will cost an extra $30 a year. Most of the money will go toward operation and maintenance of the Museum of Mississippi History and the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, which opened in 2017 in Jackson.
The Confederate emblem — a red field topped by a blue tilted cross and dotted by 13 white stars — has appeared on Mississippi's flag since 1894. Critics say it's racist; those who oppose removing it say it's a historic symbol.
Mississippians voted to keep the flag in a 2001 statewide election. However, several Mississippi cities and counties and all eight of the state's public universities have stopped flying it in recent years amid criticism that the battle emblem is a racist reminder of slavery and segregation. Supporters of the flag say it represents history.
Bryant has said that if the Mississippi flag is going to be redesigned, the matter should be decided in another statewide election. His spokesman, Knox Graham, said Bryant knew the Stennis flag design was in the license plate bill when he signed it. Graham said the museums, which will receive money from the Stennis flag tag, are a "worthy cause."
"Gov. Bryant has a high standard for vetoing legislation," Graham said. "Vanity tags do not rise to that level."
Some homes and businesses in Mississippi already fly the Stennis design instead of the state flag. The artist said she still hopes her design will eventually gain official status and replace the one with the Confederate emblem.
"Mississippians deserve a state flag that any Mississippian can fly without a moment's hesitation," Stennis said.
Confederate symbols have been widely debated across the South, particularly since June 2015, when a white supremacist killed nine black worshippers at a church in Charleston, South Carolina; and August 2017, when violence erupted as white nationalists held a rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
For the past several years, multiple bills have been filed to redesign the Mississippi flag. More than a dozen were filed this year, and they all died when they were not considered because a committee chairman said there was no consensus among lawmakers.

Tackling discrimination, joblessness, and unequal political participation key to region's continued progress, UNDP's latest global Human Development Report finds.
Stockholm, 21 March 2017 – Having enjoyed relatively high levels of well-being, the developing countries in the Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region could see inequalities and exclusion rise sharply if measures are not taken to protect vulnerable groups from unemployment, discrimination and shocks.
These are among the findings of the Human Development Report 2016 entitled 'Human Development for Everyone', released today by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The Europe and CIS region has the highest Human Development Index (HDI) among developing regions and has enjoyed consistent progress in human development levels, despite a recent slowdown. It is also the least unequal among the developing regions with only a 13 percent loss in its human development index score due to inequality.
However, the report shows that in almost every country, certain groups face disadvantages that often overlap and reinforce one another, increasing vulnerability, widening the generational gap, and making it harder to catch up with others who enjoy higher standards of living.
Women and girls, rural dwellers, indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, migrants and refugees, and the LGBTI community, are among those systematically excluded by economic, but also political, social and cultural barriers.
In the region, women's labour force participation rates, at 45 percent, remain significantly below those of men, at 70 percent. Youth unemployment is very high at 19 percent, while general unemployment is 10.4 percent.
Women are also underrepresented in positions of leadership. Women's share of seats in parliament, despite increasing to 19 percent over the past 20 years, still lags Latin America and the Caribbean (28.1 percent), sub-Saharan Africa (23.3 percent), and East Asia and the Pacific (19.6 percent).
"Transforming the deep, persistent barriers, such as discriminatory social norms and laws, and addressing unequal access to political participation is imperative to close the gaps and secure just and sustainable development for all," said Selim Jahan, Director of the Human Development Report Office and lead author of the report.
"Universal human development is attainable" said Selim Jahan. "In the last decades we have witnessed achievements in human development that were once thought impossible".
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development holds the promise of sharing the benefits of development more evenly among different groups and generations. The report offers recommendation to reorient policies to ensure progress reaches those furthest behind and points to several positive examples from the region.
Noting that two billion people worldwide are unbanked, the report argues that financial inclusion of the poor is critical to inclusive growth. It cites the greatly expanded access to financial services in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and other countries in the region thanks to technological advances and other measures.
The report highlights public legal aid services in Georgia as an important tool to help empower the most vulnerable. Established to provide legal advice to vulnerable groups, the system has provided free legal assistance to more than 75,000 people since 2007.
The report also urges reforms of global markets and institutions to make them more equitable and representative. In particular, to tackle corruption and illicit financial flows that severely compromise the region's fiscal health, the report recommends greater global cooperation against tax evasion through better exchange of information and other efforts to monitor global finance.
