The first thing you really notice on We Do What We Want, Emery's fifth full-length, is how heavy it is. Like, ridiculously heavy. Between the ubiquitous A Day To Remember-styled chugga-chugga breakdowns and frantically shrill screams, it's the hardest performance the band have served up in a long time, if not ever. It turns out that this was the plan all along—with a mostly acoustic album also slated for this year, Emery decided to go in the complete opposite direction for Want, and it takes all of about five seconds of "Scissors" or "The Cheval Glass" to reckon they've succeeded. Parts of the record are flat-out, starch-your-socks pummeling.
With Devin Shelton on an indefinite hiatus, the vocal/lyrical responsibility has fallen squarely on the shoulders of vocalist/guitarist Toby Morrell, who rose to the challenge with some of his most personal work, particularly in his explorations of faith. He's embraced a prevalent Christian message on Want, writing almost as a conversation with God at times, culminating in "You Wanted It," the album's thematic linchpin, where the protagonist realizes that his decision to live outside of faith has failed him, through his own fault alone. We all have the gift of free will, and we do what we want.
There's also an appealing balance to the record, since not every track continues the aural beatdown; there are quieter moments, and they're generally pretty fabulous, including two stunning acoustic closers, "I Never Got To See The West Coast" and "Fix Me." The real standout track, though, "The Curse Of Perfect Days," is definitely one of those more melodic moments, but is pretty bombastic, too—a dizzying voyage that examines life, love and loss with a level of wisdom and maturity matched only by its universal relevance. Morrell, himself a father, dances with his darkest fears in the song—the nightmare of losing his wife, and thus, his family—for a truly chill-inducing moment, and the song is instantly essential listening for fans.
Granted, the prevailing, premeditated "heavy as heck" vibe on We Do What We Want may be a drawback, due to the lack of variety it creates, especially for those who are fond of the band's more diverse prior work. Your ears may start to ache a little, but it also makes the album's eventual deliverance all the more divine.


As a very inactive blogger, I feel I should at least write a blog about the highlights of last year , right? So, belatedly.. a few thoughts.
The James Blake one reached over 70,000 views and I got some nice comments. The I Am In Love one ended up on the B Side of the band's single.
Highlights of mixing included One Cure for Man tracks.. proper indie.. and Free Control's EP (with Paul Wong.. great to work there again after many years ), out soon.
TV music got used worldwide, including loads of Masterchef shows.
Gigs… Wild Beasts, Lykke Li and Morrissey.Lana Del Ray was a bit disappointing, but looking forwards to the album.
Music remains at the heart of what I am.. dying to finish my studio so I have a proper place to work. Also on the boil is a remix for Shortwave Fade and finishing tracks for Hannah Brine. And the 'biggy' project I've been banging on about for years. More on that over the next few months.
Also.. trying to record a handful of Rise and Demise tracks.. written for flipping ever.. no plans, just getting them recorded is enough. Got a few started. We will see.

The Queen calls family meeting over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle bombshell
The Queen has called a family meeting to thrash out solution to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle'ss decision to step back as senior royals.
Katie Timms
Her Majesty The Queen has called for a family meeting after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they were to step back as senior royals.
It is said that Queen Elizabeth II is set to host crisis talks with senior royals and the Duke of Sussex on Monday in a bid to find a solution to Meghan and Harry's future roles, after they announced they were to "step back" and become financially independent and splitt their time between the UK and North America.
The Prince of Wales and Duke of Cambridge will meet with the Queen at her private Norfolk estate of Sandringham to thrash out a solution and decided the "next steps", according to a PA source.

It will be the first time the four will have met since the issue engulfed the royal family, and it is thought Charles will be travelling from Birkhall in Scotland, William from his Kensington Palace apartment and Harry from Frogmore Cottage near Windsor Castle.
Before them will be a range of options, and it is likely the royals will try to come to some agreement before the meeting ends to stop the immediate crisis causing lasting damage to the monarchy.
The decision and the way it has been handled has reportedly caused outrage within palace walls, with the Queen "deeply upset" and Charles and William "incandescent with rage".

A royal source said: "The family will gather on Monday at Sandringham to talk things through, attended by Her Majesty, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex.
"Following a series of meetings and consultations across the last few days, there are a range of possibilities for the family to review which take into account the thinking the Sussexes outlined earlier in the week.

"As we have said previously, making a change to the working life and role in the monarchy for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex requires complex and thoughtful discussions.
"Next steps will be agreed at the meeting, the request for this to be resolved at pace is still her Majesty's wish - the aim remains days not weeks.
"There is genuine agreement and understanding that any decision will take time to be implemented."
The source added that whilst Meghan is in Canada with Archie, it is hoped that she will be able to participate remotely in the meeting.
Before the meeting, the royals will be given written proposals produced by their offices and others, including relevant government departments from the UK and Canada, where it is thought Harry and Meghan will establish a second home.
The bombshell announcement read: "After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.
"We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.

The announcement led for the Palace to issue a statement.
It said: "The Queen, the Prince Of Wales and Duke of Cambridge have directed their teams to work together at pace with the government and the Sussex household to find workable solutions."

Q: A way to convert an object with keys of . seperated strings into a JSON object I'm trying to figure out a way to turn and object like this :
{ "test.subtest.pass" : "test passed", "test.subtest.fail" : "test failed" }
into JSON like this:
{ "test": { "subtest": { "pass": "test passed", "fail": "test failed" }}}
sometimes there may be duplicate keys, as above perhaps there would be another entry like "test.subtest.pass.mark"
I have tried using the following method and it works but it's incredibly ugly:
  convertToJSONFormat() {
        const objectToTranslate = require('<linkToFile>');

        const resultMap = this.objectMap(objectToTranslate, (item: string) => item.split('.'));

        let newMap:any = {};

        for (const [key,value] of Object.entries(resultMap)) {
            let previousValue = null;
            // @ts-ignore
            for (const item of value) {
                // @ts-ignore
                if (value.length === 1) {
                    if(!newMap.hasOwnProperty(item)) {
                        newMap[item] = key
                    } // @ts-ignore
                } else if (item === value[value.length - 1]) {
                    if(typeof previousValue[item] === 'string' ) {
                        const newKey = previousValue[item].toLowerCase().replace(/\s/g, '');;
                        const newValue = previousValue[item];

                        previousValue[item] = {};
                        previousValue[item][newKey] = newValue;
                        previousValue[item][item] = key;
                    } else {
                        previousValue[item] = key;
                    }
                } else if (previousValue === null) {
                    if (!newMap.hasOwnProperty(item)) {
                        newMap[item] = {};
                    }
                    previousValue = newMap[item];
                } else {
                    if (!previousValue.hasOwnProperty(item)) {
                        previousValue[item] = {}
                        previousValue = previousValue[item];
                    } else if (typeof previousValue[item] === 'string') {
                        const newValue = previousValue[item];

                        previousValue[item] = {};
                        previousValue[item][item] = newValue;
                    } else {
                        previousValue = previousValue[item];
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        return newMap;
    }

A: We can utilize recursion to make the code a little less verbose:
function convertToJSONFormat(objectToTranslate) {
  // create root object for the conversion result
  const result = {};
  // iterate each key-value pair on the object to be converted
  Object
    .entries(objectToTranslate)
    .forEach(([path, value]) => {
      // utilize a recursive function to write the value into the result object
      addArrayPathToObject(result, path.split("."), value);
    });
  return result;
}

function addArrayPathToObject(root, parts, value) {
  const p = parts.shift();
  // base-case: We attach the value if we reach the last path fragment
  if (parts.length == 0) {
    root[p] = value
    return;
  }
  // general case: check if root[p] exists, otherwise create it and set as new root.
    if(!root[p]) root[p] = {};
   addArrayPathToObject(root[p], parts, value)
}

This function utilizes the fact that objects are pass-by-reference to recursively traverse through the object starting at its root until setting the desired value.
You can add error-handling and other such concerns as necessary for your use.

A: @Meggan Naude, toJson function copies json object to reference obj for provided keys and value.
const p = { "test.subtest.pass" : "test passed", "test.subtest.fail" : "test failed" };
const result = {} ;
const toJson = (obj, keys, value) => {
      if (keys?.length === 1) {
         obj[keys[0]] = value;
         return obj
      } else {
         const k = keys.splice(0, 1)
         if (k in obj) {
             toJson(obj[k], keys, value)
         } else {
             obj[k] = {};
             toJson(obj[k], keys, value)
         }
         return obj
      }
}

Object.keys(p).forEach(key => toJson(result, key.split('.'), p[key]))
console.log(result);

Q: Missing Test Analyzer reports on Jenkins In my project I enabled Publish JUnit test result report in Post-build Actions but after a build there is no Test Analyzer Report.
Is there is any solution for this?

A: If your console output for the build for a project (e.g., "my-project") creates a JUnit reports folder like:
[mkdir] Created dir: /usr/share/tomcat8/.jenkins/jobs/my-project/workspace/build/reports/junit

Then you should have your Test report XMLs option set to build/reports/junit/*.xml as follows:

You can also browse your Workspace after a build to locate the path of the JUnit reports:


Allen County is a county located in the U.S. state of Ohio. Its population was 108,473 as of the 2000 census. It is included in the Lima, Ohio Metropolitan Statistical Area as well as the Lima–Van Wert–Wapakoneta Combined Statistical Area.
It is named for Colonel John Allen, who was killed leading his men at the Battle of Frenchtown, during the War of 1812. Although it has also been claimed the county was named for Revolutionary War soldier Ethan Allen, the weight of the evidence in favor of John Allen led the General Assembly to declare that the county was named for him. The county seat is Lima.
Under the terms of the Treaty of Greenville signed in 1795, northwestern Ohio was reserved for Native Americans. Thus the area now comprising Allen County was off-limits to European settlement until the Treaty of Maumee Rapids in 1817. Under the terms of this treaty, the Shawnee tribe was assigned reservations at Wapakonetta and at their "Hog Creek" settlement along the Ottawa River which comprised most of what is the present-day Shawnee Township. The latter treaty opened the way for the Ohio Legislature on March 1, 1820 to create fourteen counties, including Allen, which was defined as Ranges 5 through 8 east and Towns 3 through 6 south.
The first permanent settlement within the present day bounds of Allen County took place in 1824, when Christopher S. Wood and his family settled in section 7 of Bath Township. The organization of Bath Township predates that of Allen County itself, with its first township meeting held on March 2, 1829. On Feb. 12, 1829, an act of the legislature set aside land for a "county town". Wood was appointed commissioner to determine the location of this "seat of justice" for Allen County. This was done on March 3, 1831, with Wood appointed as Town Director. He laid out plots of land to be sold in section 31 of Bath Township, and the plat was filed April 20, 1831, creating what was the beginning of the city of Lima.
The organization of Allen County itself dates from the first meeting of the county commissioners, held on June 6, 1831. Present at this meeting were Commissioners James Daniels, John G. Wood, and Samuel Stewart. Also present was William G. Wood, county auditor; Adam White, county treasurer; and Henry Lippincott, sheriff.
The first court of justice was held in August 1831, and it is believed that the assembly of men, in informal session, selected the name for the seat of justice by drawing names from a hat. The meeting was held at the cabin of James Daniels, which was located on the bank of the Ottawa River near the current location of Market Street. Patrick G. Goode of Montgomery County, special prosecuting attorney at that session, is given credit for having offered up the name of "Lima" (capital of Peru and source of the quinine used to treat the malaria prevalent in the area of the Great Black Swamp). At the County Commission session on June 6, 1831, the formation of a second township, Jackson, was approved.
In 1832 the Shawnees, including those living in the Hog Creek reservation (present day Shawnee Township), were removed to eastern Kansas. They received payment of $30 000 in fifteen annual installments for their lands which had an estimated value of over $200 000 at that time. They arrived at their new home with few provisions and immediately suffered an epidemic of cholera.
Lima was established as a village in 1841, and the town of Lima was organized March 29, 1842. Henry DeVilliers Williams was elected the first mayor and Amos Clutter was elected the first town marshall.
In 1848, the boundaries of Allen County changed with a reorganization that created Auglaize County, Ohio from the southern half of the original county. Town 2S, Range 7E (Monroe Twp.); Town 2S, Range 8E (Richland Twp.); the southern half of Town 2S, Range 5E, and the southern half of Town 2S, Range 6E (Sugar Creek Twp.) were transferred from Putnam County to Allen County. Parts of Van Wert and Mercer Counties were also transferred to Allen to form Spencer Township and part of Marion Township. In May, 1853, Allen and Putnam Counties agreed on a cash settlement for Putnam's loss.
There were several practical implications of these changes to the boundaries of Allen County. Lima, the county seat, became located near the center of the county, rather than in the northern quarter. The western part of the county gained a significant stretch of the Miami and Erie Canal, which was completed in 1845. The reorganization also brought the towns of Spencerville, laid out in 1844 and located on the canal, and Bluffton within the bounds of the county.
In 1885, oil was discovered in Lima. This began a boom in Allen County which lasted until after 1910.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 407 square miles (1,050 km2). 404 square miles (1,050 km2) is land and 2 square miles (5.2 km2) (0.60%) is water.
As of the census of 2000, there were 108,473 people, 40,646 households, and 28,208 families residing in the county. The population density was 268 people per square mile (104/km²). There were 44,245 housing units at an average density of 109 per square mile (42/km²). The racial makeup of the county was 84.95% White, 12.19% Black or African American, 0.21% Native American, 0.55% Asian, 0.01% Pacific Islander, 0.63% from other races, and 1.45% from two or more races. 1.42% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race. 33.8% were of German, 14.2% American, 8.8% Irish and 6.6% English ancestry according to Census 2000.
There were 40,646 households out of which 32.90% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 53.00% were married couples living together, 12.40% had a female householder with no husband present, and 30.60% were non-families. 26.30% of all households were made up of individuals and 11.20% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.52 and the average family size was 3.05.
In the county the population was spread out with 25.90% under the age of 18, 9.90% from 18 to 24, 27.60% from 25 to 44, 22.40% from 45 to 64, and 14.20% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 36 years. For every 100 females there were 100.00 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 98.00 males.
The median income for a household in the county was $37,048, and the median income for a family was $44,723. Males had a median income of $35,546 versus $23,537 for females. The per capita income for the county was $17,511. About 9.60% of families and 12.10% of the population were below the poverty line, including 17.00% of those under age 18 and 9.60% of those age 65 or over.
One of the more notable annual events in Allen County is its County Fair. Run every August in Lima, Ohio since 1851, the Fair is amongst the foremost agricultural showcasing events in Western Ohio. In 2005, there were over 220,000 visitors and almost 3,000 exhibitors, making it the largest in the state.
The fair has also been notable for attracting many nationally known performers during the 1980s and 1990s, and combined with significant renovations to the county show grounds, these two factors have contributed to a marked increase in attendance and notoriety over the past two decades.

Deadly Famous Movie Review
Feb 16, 2016 No Comments by Allan Walton
Early success in Hollywood, whether for child actors or one-hit wonders, leads more often to ostracism than Oscars.
Take the case of Alan Miller. Here's a self-professed Shakespearian actor whose career has been stuck in reverse for 20 years. Is he waiting tables? No, he's simply growing more bitter with every passing day, even as he maintains the facade of success by auditioning for assorted roles while living in his deceased mother's Hollywood Hills home.
He lives his life in front of the camera, whether through video cams at home or with the handheld units he uses while stalking young women.
Ably played by Daniel O'Meara, Alan's psychosis is on full display in Deadly Famous, written and directed by Jim Lane and Eric Troop. He passes himself off to wannabe actresses as a director/scriptwriter/actor, all while teetering on the brink of insanity.
Brink? No, no, no. He long ago fell off the teeter-totter, as evidenced by the opening scene, a brutal head-smashing attack on his first victim.
Enter the beautiful blond ingénue Pamela (Jackie Moore), who has everything Hollywood demands short of experience. Alan sees her as his protégée … and sex object. Pamela, conversely, views Alan merely as a friend, and a strange one at that. Why demean her first successful gig on a soap opera?
It's because apart from being horribly demented, Alan's also a narcissist. He doesn't understand why success eludes a man of his talents.
Sooooooo, others must pay. A succession of victims fall prey to Alan, and it isn't pretty. Some he picks up on the streets; some are lured to his home to "read lines" — more like reading their epitaph.
Even Alan's sister Abigail (Stephanie Jones), who threatens to sell the family home, loses her head as a consequence. And pity the poor woman who's kept alive temporarily to plump up her liver. Then there's casting agent Rhonda, smartly played by a feisty Tiffany Adams, who finds herself not so much at the end of her wits as at the end of a rope.
Yeah, this is one sick serial killer.
It all builds to a confrontation with Pamela and her boyfriend/acting compatriot Seth (Brett R. Miller). Neither fare well, though Pamela manages to escape with her life, if not much of her face.
Deadly Famous does a good job of capturing the underbelly of Hollywood. Directors Lane and Troop deserve credit not just for that, but for assembling a better-than-average cast for what is clearly a low-budget film — though one with pretty decent production values.
There are two bit parts in this that deserve special mention. Anthony Powers plays Alan's frustrated, somewhat bemused agent Morry Gold. He nails the agent persona — the smarminess, the smirk, the sarcasm. And then there's Eric Roberts — yes, THE Eric Roberts, playing himself — who pops in twice for a nanosecond or so as Alan's acting friend. He's a self-described "coke-whore" who makes the most of his time on screen as only Mr. Roberts can. It's a loud performance … and dead on the money.
Now, don't mistake Deadly Famous as award-winning material. But if you want to burn a couple hours watching a decently written, nicely acted, compellingly creepy thriller, you could do worse.

Allan is a retired mainstream (does that word even apply anymore?) journalist whose bylines traveled with him to six newspapers and a final resting place at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. In Da 'Burgh, he served as entertainment editor, features editor and closed out his career creating and directing the PG's multimedia department. He once authored a horror blog titled "How Awful About Allan," an homage to a little-known TV movie starring the original Norman Bates, i.e. Anthony Perkins. In an alternate universe, he played drums for a band that recorded two albums and even a single that popped up on a jukebox or two. And yes, he's old enough to remember what a jukebox is. Uh, was.

As Anzac Day rolls around, The Daily Advertiser asked NSW Riverina diggers and veterans what motivated them to serve in the first place. For Corporal Michael Garrard it was about carrying on the family tradition and joining the ranks of his father and grandfather who chose to serve their country. Cpl Garrard grew up hearing about his grandfather's harrowing wartime experiences, having spent two traumatic years in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. His grandfather put up his hand to join the Malayan federated volunteer forces during the fall of Singapore, when Australian soldiers were rounded up and placed into Changi internment camps. By the time he emerged from that camp he was skin and bones, and Cpl Garrard said he spoke very little about what he endured during his time inside. "I think a lot of it likes to be forgotten, given how horrific it was," Cpl Garrard said. "He was in the camp for about two years. When he came out he had lost a lot of weight, really unhealthy. He was down to 43 kilograms." READ MORE: Cpl Garrard will be honouring the sacrifices of veterans like his grandfather at this year's Anzac Day, where he will be the flag orderly for the catafalque party. It will be a much more formal proceeding than last year, which had to be heavily scaled down due to COVID. "I was out in the driveway with my family. Same with the neighbourhood, everyone turned out. It was a bit different, but it felt quite special," he said. Wagga Wagga veteran Ken May had his own special ritual he did in lieu of Anzac Day last year, putting little flags on each grave at the war cemetery. Mr May said joining the airforce had been a dream of his ever since he was a 13-year-old boy who dreamed of flying airplanes. "It was my thing as a youngster. I just liked airplanes and I was a boy scout. When I went to technical school in Melbourne they had a cadet unit, and I loved it so much that I decided on the spot," he said. "It was three months before I turned 17, which was the minimum age back then, so I had to wait three months. I travelled on a train here to Wagga to do recruit training on my birthday." Warrant Officer Class Two Robert Cooper also joined the military at an early age, being the third generation in his family to do so. The military history runs deep in his family's bloodline, which have also highly valued the armed forces. "My father was in for 23 years, my grandparents served in the second world war, and both my uncles have served in the navy," WO2 Cooper said. "It's good to have Anzac Day back. It's a highlight for the defence members and their families." WO2 Cooper celebrated Anzac Day on his driveway last year, but is looking forward to having a proper ceremony this Sunday. Wagga RSL sub-branch president David Gardiner was recruited into the national service in 1968 into the Vietnam war. Mr Gardiner said it pained him to leave his wife, who he had only married 18 months before, and that they had an emotional reunion when he returned home in one piece. He said that it had been a "frightening" experience living in the Vietnamese jungle, but that he had also forged lifelong friendships while he was out there. He regularly meets up with his old platoon mates to reminisce about the memories. "It was two years of great experience, and it really affected me for the rest of my life," Mr Gardiner said.

Q: Number tracking implementation I'm about to implement my own tracking pixel in order to get visitor information from my marketing sites.
In addition to the above I need to pass some information back (phone number) to the visitor and change the content of a specific span class tag on the site.
I understand the process of passing information in the direction of my analytics server but not the other way around .
I'm hoping to run this with php on the sever sites and JavaScript on the client side
I know it's possible as a supplier of ours simply gives us a tracking code which is only a few lines long and we supply our class tag.

A: Tracking pixels only send data from the user to the server. Updating content on your site should be done via XMLHttpRequest, which allows the server to return a response that can be used in client side javascript.

A: You can use Ajax as you can see in this example.
The main part is
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function()
{
    if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200)
    {
        document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText; /*retrieve the phone number*/
    }
};

And in the PHP part simply echo your desired phone, based on what you queried with you tracking pixel:
<?php
    $customer_id = $_GET['customer_id'];

    // Do stuff

    $phone_number = myPersonalQueryFunction($customer_id);

    echo $phone_number; // or exit($phone_number)
?>

Although there had been quite a few post-apocalyptic tales before "I Am Legend," Richard Matheson's take is probably the most copied and most produced. It has led to many awards and much acclaim from everywhere in the world.
And it all started humbly enough in Allendale, New Jersey.
Richard Burton Matheson was the son of Norwegian immigrants. He published his first story at the age of 8 in the newspaper The Brooklyn Eagle in New York where he had moved with his then-divorced mother.
In 1949 he migrated to California after college and a stint in the Army. There he discovered even more outlets for his genius.
"Born Of Man and Woman" a horrifying tale about a gigantic child chained in a basement was published in the legendary The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction in 1950. This garnered him a following and the attention led to other stories being published in Galaxy Science Fiction.
Matheson was quickly gaining a rep as a horror/scifi writer to be noticed. He was invited to become a member of the Southern California Sorcerers which included Ray Bradbury. I mean what wasn't Ray Bradbury involved in back then?
Matheson's style was hard-hitting and spare. He told his tales straight ahead with a sucker punch you didn't see coming. Almost perfect for film and TV right out of the box.
After writing a Studio 57 script in 1955, in 1957 "The Incredible Shrinking Man" was filmed from Matheson's screenplay based on his book.
Matheson seesawed between screenwriting and novels writing his amazing tales and also doing some at-the-time traditional television including "Combat!" "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" and more.
He also dabbled in other genres like Westerns, and his World War II tale "The Beardless Warriors" which was made into a movie called "The Young Warriors."
A perfect marriage of concept and writer came together on Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone" which featured Matheson's penchant for shock endings. Some of his 16 episodes, more than anyone except Serling and Charles Beaumont, included the horror/scifi classic "The Invaders" starring Agnes Moorhead, and are considered the best of that breakthrough TV series.
"Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" is perhaps the most well-known Twilight Zone episode, where a young William Shatner sees a horrifying gremlin on the wing of an airplane - but can't convince anyone that this creature exists and is trying to crash the plane.
Mattheson's fame would only grow with "The Last Man On Earth" starring Vincent Price and written by Matheson and William Leicester. It was based in Matheson's "I Am Legend" novel and was an instant hit. Although the 2002 film "28 Days Later" showed post-apocalyptic, viral-infected beings quick enough to chase you down and eat your brains, Matheson had already done this in his 1962 book. The film adaptation "The Last Man On Earth" went back to the lumbering, slow paradigm that was popular at the time but Matheson showed again that his ideas were already far ahead of the curve.
In the 60's and 70's Matheson was definitely a hot commodity and did a ton of prose and film, and TV work.
According to Wikipedia, QUOTE: He adapted five works of Edgar Allan Poe for Roger Corman's Poe series, including House of Usher (1960), The Pit and the Pendulum (1961), and The Raven (1963). ENDQUOTE.
His "Trilogy Of Terror" with the demonic tiki doll that scared the living shit out of my sister, was one of three of his shorts stories put into that anthology movie.
In the 70's Matheson novels were continually turned into films including "Bid Time Return" which became "Somewhere in Time", and "Hell House" which became the movie "The Legend of Hell House."
In 1973 he won an Edgar Award for his TV movie "The Night Stalker" which was then adapted to the TV series "Kolchak: The Night Stalker." He continued to work with director Dan Curtis, a legend in his own right, for many other horror productions.
It seems now as if Richard Matheson's work touched many legends of Hollywood including Steven Spielberg whose first feature "Duel" in 1971 was a Matheson screenplay.
Matheson had tremendous range. From the inspirational "What Dreams May Come" staring Robin Williams to the horrifying"A Stir of Echoes" starring Kevin Bacon nothing seemed beyond his scope. War stories, westerns, horror, scifi he transversed it all including in 1999, a non-fiction book "The Path" inspired by his research in psychic phenomena.
"The Last Man on Earth," "The Omega Man," and the recently produced "I Am Legend" in 2007 starring Will Smith - and countless knockoffs from Matheson's original novel in 1954, continue to carry on the quiet and unassuming man from New Jersey's legacy.
"I Am Legend" was chosen by The Horror Writers Association as the vampire novel of the century.
Matheson, a legend himself, had 88 film credits, 100's of novels and short stories including in multiple dozens of collections, and millions and millions of admirers.
Richard Matheson died of natural causes at the age of 87. But his groundbreaking writing continues to inspire new generations of writers and filmmakers.


The withdrawal of troops from Syria will become a serious blow to the influence of the United States on the ongoing political settlement in the country, a member of the Turkish parliament, Ozturk Yilmaz, told Sputnik on Thursday.
"US military withdrawal, if It really happens, may not mean it's politically a pullout … But, surely to say, this decision will be a serious blow to US influence on the ongoing political process on the table. If your boots are not on the ground, your hands may be weaker", Yilmaz said.
The lawmaker added that nevertheless, it is extremely difficult to predict what Trump will do tomorrow.
On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump said that the United States would withdraw its troops from Syria because the Daesh* terrorist group which was the only reason for the US presence in the Arab country, had been defeated in Syria.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement that Washington had already started the process of withdrawing the troops, of which there are about 2,000.
The US-led coalition of more than 70 countries is conducting military operations against Daesh in Syria and Iraq. The coalition's operations in Iraq are conducted in cooperation with the Iraqi government, but those in Syria are not authorised by the Syrian government or the UN Security Council.

Dolly de Leon falls short of Golden Globe win
Triangle of Sadness star Dolly de Leon fell short of taking home the Best Supporting Actress award at the 80th Golden Globe Awards.
Angela Bassett, who starred in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, won the recognition.
De Leon, the first Filipino to be nominated for the Golden Globes, was widely acclaimed for her performance as Abigail, a yacht toilet cleaner who (spoiler alert!) rises to power among a group of privileged passengers who become stranded on an island.
The film, directed by Ruben Östlund, premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, where it received an eight-minute standing ovation and won the Palme d'Or. De Leon's performance sparked rumors in the awards circuit that she would be up for top nominations such as the Golden Globes and the Oscars.
De Leon took home a Best Supporting Performer win from the 48th Los Angeles Film Critics Awards in December. She is also up for the top brass at the 43rd annual London Critics' Circle Film Awards, and has been longlisted for the BAFTAs.

Barack Obama realizes the time is now.
On Saturday September 1st, I watched some of John McCain's funeral coverage. To be honest, I watched just to hear what former President Barack Obama was going to say. Not sure of the schedule, I stumbled into watching Meghan McCain's passionate eulogy of her father. While expressing love for her father, McCain also strongly suggested that president Trump is a phony coward. She referred to her father's service and suffering in Vietnam, contrasting it to the "cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who lived lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served."
I saw former Senator Joe Lieberman share stories and experiences about Senator McCain that spanned decades of friendship. I watched former President George W. Bush eloquently speak in measured appreciation for McCain. It was notable that Bush appeared to be sounding the alarm about Trump with this line: "He respected the dignity inherent in every life - a dignity that does not stop at borders and cannot be erased by dictators. Perhaps above all, John detested the abuse of power. He could not abide bigots and swaggering despots."
Soon thereafter, Barack Obama talked about the character, resilience and decency of John McCain. Obama, also appeared to take a dig at Trump when he said: "So much of our politics, our public life, our public discourse can seem small and mean and petty. Trafficking in bombastic manufactured outrage, it's politics that pretends to be brave and tough, but in fact is born of fear. John called on us to be bigger than that. He called on us to be better than that."
A part of me saw the presence of politicians and military men celebrating the life of John McCain as a reminder of those who contributed to our current state of authoritarian insurrection. But I know culpability is not equally weighted.
To my chagrin, Obama has most often been silent or only mildly dismissive of Donald Trump's attacks, lies and vigorous dismantling of his legislative legacy. And during this horrific presidency of Donald Trump that threatens the functionality of American democracy, Obama has, for the most part, stayed out of the fray. However, based on reports from The Hill, some of this is about to change.
It was also reported by Obama communications director Katie Hill that Obama will use his opening gambit speech to confront Donald Trump: "He will echo his call to reject the rising strain of authoritarian politics and policies. And he will preview arguments he'll make this fall, specifically that Americans must not fall victim to our own apathy by refusing to do the most fundamental thing demanded of us as citizens: vote."
This is welcome news. President Obama has the gravitas, respect and ability to call mass attention to the open- ended assault on America's best values and institutions that is happening under Trump's presidency. Obama finally realizes that his silence is a form of complicity -- he sees what the rest of us are seeing, that the current president is reckless, dangerous and is willing to destroy everything in his power to avoid accountability, justice and impeachment. And if Trump and the Republican Party are not stopped at the ballot box, the path toward authoritarian rule inches closer to reality.
The Republican Party has rewritten history with their complete abdication of their Constitutional duty to check and restrain the executive branch when abuse of power and widespread corruption is in plain view. American democracy can't work when two thirds of the government are colluding together to undermine it.
The upcoming November 2018 elections are shaping up to be a referendum on good versus evil. Democracy versus authoritarianism. Governance versus chaos, and decency versus the despicable. America needs every elected official and American citizen that wants to stop the decline of the republic to speak up loudly, forcefully and vote against Trump and the Republican Party. It's good to know that Barack Obama will be one of them.


The unsung golf putter is the latest weapon to be unleashed in Abbotsford's burgeoning apartment amenity arms race.
An application to build a new apartment building in central Abbotsford includes a proposed putting green alongside other offerings for residents. The project is unbuilt, but would join the ranks of several other proposed or under-construction apartment buildings that have set space aside in unique ways. Recently approved apartment buildings have included a range of such amenities, including garden plots, rooftop patios, and playgrounds and courtyards.
The new five-storey, 97-unit building would be located just northwest of Mill Lake, on Emerson street, on land currently occupied by three duplexes.
In addition to the putting green, the building would also include play equipment for kids and a small "edible plant garden," according to designs submitted to the city.
Fifty-two of the 97 units in the building would be one-bedroom or studio apartments, with 40 tw0-bedroom units and just five three-bedroom suites.
The developer is requesting several variances from established city guidelines to allow the project to proceed. Given that, the city will also get about $10,000 for local park and transit improvements on top of typical development charges.
Council voted Monday to allow the project to proceed to a future public hearing.


When it comes to selling your skills and your worth at an interview, preparation is key. As a rule of thumb, many employers tend to ask the same questions to follow an objective evaluation system. So it is important to organize a suite of compelling examples to help convince the interviewer that you are the best person for the job. Here are 10 interview questions commonly asked, use them to prepare simple but relevant responses that highlight your talents and professionalism.
Even though this one isn't really a question it is commonly used in interviews as an effective icebreaker. A strong, succinct answer will quickly gain the interviewer's attention and separate you from other candidates who may be tempted to ramble on about every minor life story detail. Give a brief, concise description of who you are and your key qualifications, strengths, and skills. Tailoring your answer to the role and stating the biggest benefit you offer to the employer will leave the interviewer compelled to know more.
The interviewer is trying to gauge your enthusiasm for the role as well as your level of knowledge about the company. Give specific examples of things that attracted you to the company; elaborate on your strengths, achievements, and skills as well as on how these match the role's description, positioning you as a desirable employee.
In this scenario, the interviewer wants to know what you are particularly good at and how this would fit into the role. Choose a few of your key strengths that perfectly fit for this role and give examples of how you have demonstrated them successfully in the past. Strengths could include the ability to learn quickly, ability to work under pressure, the capability to multi-task, strong team player as well as your ability to work independently.
Q. What Are Some of Your Weaknesses?
The interviewer is trying to gauge your self-awareness. We all have weaknesses, so it's best not to say you don't have any. Avoid using the word 'weakness' and instead talk about an 'area for improvement' that is not vital for the job, or specify a 'challenge' that you are working to overcome. Demonstrating a willingness to develop yourself and face challenges turns the answer into a positive. In this case, it is also useful to expose the "negative side" of one or some of your strengths, maybe how being a perfectionist can sometimes turn into stubbornness which translates into being too hard on yourself which is something you're trying to work on. This will show the interviewer your self-awareness and your work ethic at the same time.
The interviewer wants to know if you are a high-achiever and identify how your accomplishments are valuable to the organization. Select one or two recent accomplishments that are directly related to the job offered. Identify the situations, your course of action, used skills and the positive outcomes – quantifying the benefits where possible. Show how you can bring what you learned to the new role.
The interviewer is trying to find out your definition of 'difficult' and whether you can show a logical approach to problem-solving. Select a tough work situation that was not caused by you. Explain the way you approached the problem, outline the steps you followed and the solution you applied to overcome the problem. Give your answer with the air of someone who takes setbacks and frustrations in stride, as part of the job.
The interviewer is trying to find out your key interests and whether the job offered has responsibilities you will dislike. Focus on what you particularly enjoyed in your last role and what you learned from it, and highlight transferable skills. When addressing what you disliked, be conscious not to criticize your last employer. Choose an example that does not reflect on your skills (such as company size) or which reveals a positive trait (such as your dislike for prolonged decision-making).
A sense of purpose is an attractive feature in an applicant, so this interview question is designed to probe your ambition and the extent of your career planning. Your commitment is also under question. Try to avoid statements such as, "I want to be part of your company." Rather, specify your professional and personal goals and tie in how this position will help you grow your skill set, acquire more knowledge and overall develop professionally. Relate your future plans to the organization and how your growth will reflect as an added value to the company as a whole.
This interview is designed to measure your composure and see how well you react when in taxing circumstances. Problem-solving skills and being able to remain focused in difficult conditions is an extremely valuable trait. Give an example of a time when you were faced with a stressful situation (not caused by you) and how you successfully handled it with ease. Describe the context, how you approached the situation, the actions you took and the positive outcome. This proves you remained calm, in control and got the job done.
Give me an example of when your work was criticized. How did you react?
Give me an example of a time when you didn't get along with co-workers or bosses. What did you do?
Are you a self-starter? Give me examples.
To answer unexpected interview questions, it is imperative to be organized and prepared. Use your cover letter and/or resume to create an outline of significant points you need to touch upon during your interview. Dissect these documents and use them to guide your answers to any open-ended questions. Preparing yourself with your own material will make you a strong interviewee and the desired employee.


Matt Cuff is the senior policy advisor of the of the Office of Justice and Ecology (OJE) of the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States. He visited Ireland recently and spent time in the Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice (JCFJ), exchanging ideas and collaborating with our Deputy Director, Eoin Carroll. They aim to find areas where they can align more closely on issues around penal policy advocacy, which is a focus of both centres.
The OJE's mission is threefold. It involves networking with other Jesuit institutes, including on the US/Mexico border to advocate for the rights of migrants, and also with Jesuit schools and universities and with its peer organisations. It is also involved with education around social issues and Catholic Social Teaching; especially concerning the experience of the demographics that the organisation works with, e.g. incarcerated people. These two goals work towards fulfilling the centre's primary function – advocating on behalf of vulnerable individuals and groups in society. It does this by engaging with policy makers and government, by gathering support from similar social justice groups and by meeting with big businesses who have troubling environmental and human rights practices, such as mining corporations. A notable success of the OJE came from its meetings with Monsanto. The centre questioned the company's practice of filtering water from a dam in Democratic Republic of Congo; a procedure it subsequently ended.
Issues of interest to the OJE closely mirror the key areas of interest of the Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice. It is concerned with environmental justice and the message of Laudato Si'. One issue they have been recently involved with is the Dakota Access Pipeline campaign. They worked closely with indigenous communities who were trying to protect their land from exploitation. Economic justice, primarily the conditions for low-wage workers in service industry jobs is also an area of advocacy for the centre. Housing and homelessness is a problem in the US, as it is in Ireland and the centre is involved with several groups who are addressing this.
Another area in which the OJE is heavily immersed, in common with the JCFJ, is criminal justice and prison reform. The USA contains 25 percent of the world's prisoners, despite having just 5 percent of the world's population. More than 25 million people are currently incarcerated. The centre runs several initiatives: it is involved in restorative justice and brings Ignatian spirituality and retreats into prisons, it supports individuals on release and it has a chaplaincy programme. The Jesuit community in the USA has a long history of being present to these populations and places great value on the lived experience of these individuals.
The OJE also tackles issues which are currently contentious in the US, include migration, which is often in the headline. It focusses on border policy and on the effects that having undocumented parents has on children who have grown up in the United States, and yet are not citizens. They work closely with the Jesuits in Central America on this and related issues.
Staff at the OJE engage directly with US senators and other elected representatives. They have invited groups and individuals to come on board with their work by inviting them to take part in campaigns including the Ignatian Carbon Challenge. This initiative highlights actions that people can take on an individual or institutional level to reduce their carbon footprint by reducing single-use plastic consumption. It allows people to connect with the movement building around the issue. They have also spearheaded Campaign for Hospitality to refugees which prioritises the importance of being present for migrants and aims to change the language around the issue to make the US feel like a welcoming space for them.
The OJE works closely with the Ignatian Solidarity Network which began in 1990 as a response to the assassination of Jesuits in El Salvador. One of its major achievements in engaging with young people has been the march of 2,000 high school students to Capitol Hill, the site of the US government, to meet with elected officials. The march encourages political engagement and a culture of advocacy among the pupils. Matt says in his experience "people, especially young people are hungry for a connection with social justice movements". It is hoped that by encouraging an awareness of social injustice in their formative years, that it will remain with them as they move through life.
Matt's visit was an opportunity for the member of the JCFJ team to reflect on the commonalities of Jesuit organisations across the world and on the shared experiences of staff and communities in the US and Ireland. It also enabled us to see the differences in our criminal justice systems and the relative harshness of US penal policy. We will continue to collaborate with the OJE and the Ignatian network in our shared mission of creating a more just society.

Q: Dropbox on ubuntu not sync-uploading although sync-downloading works and other machines work normally I have been using Dropbox across Mac, Windows, Ubuntu for a few years, but recently the syncing of file changes I make on Ubuntu has stopped working.  However, the syncing of file changes on the other machines continues as normal, and changes I make on the other machines do get synced onto the Ubuntu machine.  So it's just the changes that I make on Ubuntu that don't seem to be uploaded to the other machines.
After I make changes to a Dropbox file locally on Ubuntu, if  I open the web interface to Dropbox on my ubuntu machine, it seems to be aware of only the older versions of the file before I started my current session of file changes.  If I drop the newer  versions of the file created on Ubuntu into the web page, then it uploads and then all the  machines see my changes. So the Ubuntu machine is really changing the files locally but unlike the other machines where local changes are automatically synced, on the Ubuntu machine this no longer happens.
I haven't done anything to the Ubuntu system other than the normal stream of automatic ubuntu system updates .
This "failure to sync" is  a persistent condition, continuing across many days of system power offs and restarts (and further automatic system updates).  I haven't noticed any other unusual behavior or breakage for the other features I use on the machine.
Do I need to do a reinstall?  Or is there some other way to clear this up?
Thanks.


It was April 18, 1906 and the thriving international city of San Francisco was beginning the hustle and bustle of a what probably seemed like just another beautiful crisp spring morning in the "City by the Bay." However, Mother Nature had something else in store. A massive magnitude 7.8 earthquake rocked the northern west coast of the Golden State, and the aftermath over the following three days must have been a living hell. This beautiful city had experienced devastating fires before; in fact, in its early Gold Rush days, this rapidly expanding and thriving city burned almost completely five separate times between 1849 to 1852.
This historical structure withstood the terrifying earthquake and the ensuing hell of fire, and within its walls, so survived also hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions of dollars worth of gold and silver coins. Of the surviving coinage was a small cache of older $20 gold coins stored within the Mint's vaults. Amazingly, some of those surviving coins were Type-I $20 Gold Double Eagles that were minted in San Francisco, and which existed for the same reasons a mint was built in San Francisco in the first place: the California Gold Rush. After recent negotiations, Monaco Rare Coins successfully negotiated the acquisition of the San Francisco-minted Type-I $20 gold coins that survived this historic natural disaster in San Francisco in 1906. These coins have now been graded and certified by NGC and feature a unique "Granite Lady Hoard" provenance on the NGC holder's label.
Type I Double Eagles, minted from 1850 to 1866, are some of the most popular and historically-significant gold coins extant. I have built a career trading more coins from this series since 1990 than any other dealer in America. In the book, 100 Greatest United States Coins, seven of those one hundred coins are the large and very popular gold Type I Double Eagles. Their price appreciation for decades speaks for itself, and I believe these truly special coins represent some of best value the market has to offer. I am very excited to be able to offer this small but exciting hoard of "Granite Lady" Type I $20 gold coins at prices that are so low in relation to recent public sales that they are sure to sell out very quickly. Call now to secure the best coins this special hoard has to offer and I'll include a FREE copy of my book, Insider's Guide to Collecting Type I Double Eagles, which will show you how to assemble a successful and profitable collection of these rare, popular and historical $20 gold coins.

Are Digital Records More Secure Than Paper Records?
claim free trial
The healthcare industry has undergone many changes and one of the biggest shifts that many hospitals and healthcare professionals have seen is the implementation of electronic health records or electronic medical records. Gone are the days when critical patient charts and medical information were stored in paper files but now they are inputted in a digital version for convenient access and enhanced security and patient safety.
But what makes digital records more secure than a paper-based record? Most electronic systems are equipped with high level encryption tools and additional security measures like password protection and restriction limits to prevent data tampering and inappropriate access. It also allows data backups to protect against worst case scenarios of information loss.
What Are The Security Benefits Of Electronic Records?
Both electronic health record and electronic medical record are similar in a sense that they are a digital version of a patient's paper charts, medical files, and other important health records. They provide crucial information needed to make an accurate clinical decision and assure quality of care.
Their only difference is that EHRs provide a more comprehensive outlook of an individual's health condition, medical care, and treatment plans. It also allows better care coordination since the information can be shared with other health care providers, specialists, and labs while EMRs tend to stay within the practice where they are created.
However, medical professionals and healthcare organization can be assured that investing in EHR/EMR software systems is a smart move because of its plenty of security advantages over paper records. Here are some of the security benefits of digital records:
1. Password-protection and authorized access
With paper medical files and manual personal health records, it's easy for anyone to gain access to a medical document without being tracked. This greatly increases the risk of compromising or losing patient data. There's also a possibility of human error where an employee may fail to return the patient file to storage which can lead to misplacing the document.
Electronic records can allow you to limit the number of people who can view certain medical files and information. You can also activate password protection to avoid unauthorized access and allow only approved providers to view the medical data. With a secure password system in place, you can strengthen your medical record security to lessen the risk of medical identity theft.
2. Built-in data encryption tools
Cybersecurity and data breaches are common concerns of any health organization when it comes to online EMR systems. But to minimize cyberthreats and security issues, many EMR providers have put strong privacy and encryption methods in place to protect against security breaches. Data encryption basically converts inputted data into hard-to-read text so that outside attackers will have no access to health information.
There are also many EMR systems that are built on HIPAA-compliant servers and networks to ensure patient privacy, confidentiality and information security.
3. Internal audit trails
Healthcare providers who are still running on paper medical recording systems commonly face the challenge of data tampering or unauthorized release of files. When paper patient records are accidentally altered or copied, it's hard to keep track of who did it due to lack of monitoring and control.
With EMRs and online patient portals, you can review the activity history in your patient database to see who accessed the system, when they opened the files, and what changes they applied to the records. If any unintended changes were made, you can restore the previous version to redo the mistake. Audit trails can also help you identify any malicious software or activity that can lead to potential breaches or security risk for patients.
4. Data backups and storage
Unlike paper patient records which could take time to make copies and backups, EMRs allow for automatic and daily backups to ensure security of health information in case of emergencies.
EMR systems can either run on your practice's local network or cloud servers which means that data is uploaded in secure external cloud programs. One appealing advantage of cloud servers is they provide convenient remote access.
Common Problems With Keeping Paper Records
Back in the day, primary care clinics and healthcare institutions and agencies thrived on the traditional method of manual paper records. But today, the advent of digital technologies has exposed the many ways that paper-based systems are vulnerable. Here are the usual risk factors with paper records that an EMR system can solve:
Storage issues: Clinical documentation with paper records can consume a lot of physical space in the clinic and office, with some even renting warehouses where they house their information. With EMRs, a medical practice can easily upload and share hundreds of thousands of health information in a secure cloud or network. They can even conveniently upgrade their storage limit by purchasing additional space if needed.
Weak security and privacy: A paper-based patient record is fragile and they are unguarded against natural disasters like fires and flooding or accidental theft. EMRs are safer and they have high-rated protection measures against threats of cybersecurity and attacks.
Prone to errors: Another problem with written paper documentation and doctor's notes is illegible penmanship. This can lead to medical errors which can compromise the quality of patient care. With EMRs, all prescription notes and reminders are typewritten and there are also readily-available templates to lessen confusion.
More expensive: Maintaining a paper filing system naturally entails more administrative personnel and administrative staff. This incurs more labor costs, operational costs, and other expenses needed for paper systems unlike EMRs which are more cost-efficient and a wise investment for your practice in the long run.
Ways You Can Keep Patient Records Secure With An EMR
As a primary care provider or aesthetic clinic, implementing electronic medical record systems is one of the best things you can do to ensure that your patients are well-protected. Here are additional tips to ensure that you get the maximum security from your EMR software program:
Train and educate your staff: It's important that all members of your healthcare team must be briefed on how to properly use the EMR program. They should also be informed about the different viruses, malware attacks, and cybersecurity threats so they'll take extra cautions when opening electronic files and digital documents.
Store passwords in a safe place: For password-protected systems, it's crucial that every user creates strong passwords that are hard to guess. Weak passwords can expose your private practice to hacking incidents. They should also keep password information in secure places or online applications and avoid sharing it with unauthorized individuals.
Ensure multi-layer defense system: In addition to the encryption and security tools that EMRs already have, you can install physical security measures like CCTV cameras and alarm systems in the rooms where your computers are located. Setting up firewalls and virus blockers can also add a layer of protection to your equipment.
Keep security softwares and firewalls updated: Make sure that your security program and antivirus software are updated to the latest version to keep every user and patient protected against the new threats. Developers are always releasing security patches to strengthen your EMR system.
Perform a security risk assessment: A regular risk assessment is a crucial part of your practice's security risk management and it helps to identify threats, weaknesses, and potential breaches. This way, you can determine the steps you need to take to fix the vulnerabilities and ensure that your privacy and security policies are still complying with HIPAA's security standards.

This was my family's second stay in North Cyprus and the second time we'd booked through www.gonorthcyprus. We find them so helpful in suggesting hotels which suit the needs of their customers. This, however, was the first time we'd stayed at the Pia Bella and we were really impressed.
Our hotel room was fantastically well equipped, with a really cold fridge! We loved that our room had a balcony too. We'd read from some reviews that others had found their room to be noisy because of the streets outside but ours was really quiet. The maid service was impressive- the room was spotlessly clean and they gave us fresh towels every day.
The food at the Pia Bella was really good, with a wide selection for breakfast and dinner (we stayed on a half board basis.) The breakfast had a continental and English selection. We also found the waiting staff to be helpful and efficient. On a couple of the nights, there was a pianist playing during dinner, which created a lovely relaxing atmosphere.
The Pia Bella Hotel is in a great location- only a few minutes walk from the centre of Kyrenia. We loved walking in everyday to sit at one of the harbour side cafés or walk around the authentic shops. Although we did hire a car for part of our holiday, it isn't really necessary when being so close to Kyrenia because you can easily fill your stay with things to do in the local area.
My family love North Cyprus and I can imagine us returning again in the next couple of years. We will definitely stay at the Pia Bella if we do because it was perfect for everything we needed.

Flyers History
Flyers by the Number: One
By John Gove June 19th, 2016
"Flyers by the Number" is a new segment where we will take a look at the greatest player to wear every number for the Philadelphia Flyers. Today we will appropriately begin with the number one.
The Philadelphia Flyers have been an NHL franchise for a grand total of 48 seasons. In that time, only three men (all goaltenders) have ever worn the number one on the back of their orange and black sweater. The first two, Doug Favell and Dunc Wilson, are far from household names amongst the Flyers' faithful. However, the third and final "number-one" is a legend not only in Philadelphia but throughout the entire National Hockey League. He is none other than Bernie Parent.
"Only the Lord Saves More Than Bernie Parent"
Parent started his NHL career with the Boston Bruins in 1965. In two seasons with the Bruins, he played 57 games, won 15, and had a 3.67 GAA. Boston left Parent unprotected for the 1967 NHL Expansion Draft where he was then scooped up by the Flyers.
In his first stint with Philadelphia, the Montreal native split time between the pipes with Favell. As Favell began to demonstrate a decline in his production and deal with injuries, Parent morphed into the team's number-one goalie.
However, on February 1, 1971, Philadelphia made a deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs sending them Parent and a 2nd round pick in exchange for Bruce Gamble, Mike Walton, and a 1st round draft pick. In Parent's two years with the Leafs, he played in 65 games, earned 24 wins, and recorded a 2.59 GAA.
On May 15, 1973, Toronto traded Parent's rights back to the Flyers for a first round pick and Favell. Luckily, Philadelphia acquired Parent at the perfect time as the netminder would experience the greatest two seasons of his career directly after. In the 1973-1974, the 28-year-old goaltender played in a career-high 73 games going 47-13-12 with a league-best 1.89 GAA. In addition, he recorded 12 shutouts that season. Parent's played was good enough for him to share the Vezina Trophy with Tony Esposito of the Chicago Blackhawks. He was also awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as his stellar goaltending led the Flyers to their first Stanley Cup Championship.
The 1974-75 season would be another Vezina Trophy winning one for Mr. Parent as he once again displayed phenomenal talent in net. He went 44-14-10 in 68 games and once again shut out opponents on 12 separate occasions. Parent and the Flyers would go on to win their second consecutive Stanley Cup that summer.
Unfortunately, injuries and a change to the game of hockey would limit Parent's successes for the rest of his career. Stand-up goaltending was becoming a thing of the past as goalies adapted their styles to counter what had turned into a high-scoring game. Netminders such as Patrick Roy were now ruling the roost with their butterfly style. On February 17, 1979, Parent suffered a career-ending eye injury that would cause permanent damage to his vision. He was forced to retire at the age of 34.
The Only "One" That Matters
There is no arguing that you are the greatest player to wear a specific number for a team when that team retires the number in your honor. This is the case with Bernie Parent and the Philadelphia Flyers. He is hands-down their greatest "number one" as well as the greatest goaltender to go between the pipes for the orange and black.
It is important to give it all you have while you have the chance.
— Bernie Parent (@Bernieparent) June 17, 2016
Parent is a legend from the most iconic time in Philadelphia Flyers' history. Without him, the team's number of Stanley Cup Championships might very well be zero. For this reason, Bernie Parent will always have a special place in the heart of each and every Flyers' fan.

The world that we live in today is so far from what God had created in the beginning. It is heartbreaking to see the stark contrast of how the Garden of Eden was painted in the account in Genesis to all of a sudden having natural disasters, war-torn countries, and hearing the cry of the oppressed and victims of injustice.
When sin entered the world, destruction was at its wake. But does that dispute the goodness of God? No. Are we hopeless? No. God demonstrated that His goodness triumphs all when He sent Jesus to die on the cross on our behalf. Our victory personified.
Maybe God wants me to learn something in the waiting.
He's had us in mind even before the foundation of the world, even when He knew of what our fall or setbacks are going to be even before we experience them. We didn't choose Him. He chose us and called us by His name.
God is always good, no matter what circumstances we have. And His ways and thoughts are higher than our ways. Even when things are beyond our own understanding, declare, "God is good." We just have to keep trusting and believing. He is always good and He is always faithful, no matter what our track record is. He keeps His covenant for a thousand generations!
