Kingdom Rush is a multi-platform browser based game where you need to defend your kingdom from the enemies. The objective of the game is to prevent the baddies from passing the check points, which can be done by attacking the enemies or by constructing defensive buildings such as Archery Towers, Barracks, Mages, or Dwarven Bombard.
The game becomes increasingly difficult as you level up because you have to face more number of enemies at each level, which spawns more frequently and are more dangerous than the previous level. You will be awarded with Gold coins on killing enemies, which can be used to purchase additional defensive buildings or upgrade the existing ones.
The game features a huge campaign mode and wide range of enemies, which keeps you addicted for hours.
It has an achievement system that will allow you to unlock new achievements such as Diversity, Specialist, Superstar, etc. as you keep progressing in the game.
The Cool Hero Room will enable you to unlock the hero of your choice. You can select any one hero from the 9 different notable warriors such as Ignus, King Denas, Bolin Farslayer, Ingvar Bearclaw, etc.
There are over 30 enemies to clash with, which includes Goblins, Orcs, Wolves, Trolls, Wizards, etc.
You will come across amazing power-ups such as Fire Spell, Reinforcement Spell, and Lighting Bolt Spell that will enhance your attacks.
The upgrade system will allow you to upgrade your defensive buildings, thereby making enemies more prone to damage.
Its multi-platform interface allows you to play the game in multiple platforms such as iOS, Android, Microsoft Windows, and Linux.
The controls are very simple as the movements and attack controls are based on mouse. You can target the enemies to be attacked by clicking on them by using the Left Mouse Key. Special power ups can be activated by clicking on them using the action key.
Save Coins: Coins allows you to construct defensive buildings and upgrade existing ones, so save more coins in order to spend them on your defensive buildings.
Choose the Right Defense: There are four different types of defensive buildings and each one of them has its own strength and weakness. So, be careful in terms of choosing an ideal defense building.
Use Power Ups: Power Ups generate over a period of time, small power ups re-generates sooner but big power ups takes more time to re-generate. Make sure you use the right power ups on the right enemy.
Earn Stars: You can lead your way to victory if you have good heroes to back you, so earn more stars to unlock new heroes.
Upgrade Skills: The enemies are more deadly as the game progresses, so be prepared to face them by upgrading your skills such as Armor, Toughness, Salvage, Eagle Eye, etc.
Using these tricks and tips may not guarantee your victory but it will surely improve your gaming experience.

Q: Minimalist propositional logic negation axiom What is an axiom schema for minimalist propositional logic that characterizes negation ($\lnot$), but, does so without introducing the $\bot$ symbol to the language?
I thought that maybe $$\dfrac{X, X \to \bot}{\bot}$$ could be replaced with $A \to X \to \lnot X \to \lnot A$ , but that doesn't seem to work for really small expressions like trying to prove $(B \to \lnot \lnot B)$....or maybe it does and I am missing an obvious proof?

Remembering Min Hogg
We look back at the life of the editor and designer who popularised the term "shabby chic", following her recent death
The style arbiter, designer, and journalist Min Hogg may have popularised the term "shabby chic" but she was certainly no slouch herself. Hogg, who passed away last week at the age of 80, was synonymous with style for London's wealthy and successful.
After her twenty-year stint at the helm of World of Interiors, the publication attained a hallowed status; as Carolina Irving writes in our new book, Interiors: The Greatest Rooms of the Century, "the magazine did so much to educate a whole generation of interior designers and tastemakers."
Hogg's own education, however, was a little more wide-ranging. "Born in 1939 to a well-to-do family, she studied at London's Central School of Art under Terence Conran," explains the text in our book. "As a journalist she worked at the Observer and was fashion editor of Harpers & Queen, but homes and interiors were her true passion. She answered an anonymous advertisement for editor of an 'international arts and interiors magazine' and started working on Interiors, which evolved into the famous World of Interiors.
"The living room at her two-bedroom London flat is quintessential Hogg: far from minimalist, infused with a deep understanding of art and decorating history, with eclectic pieces that just seem to synergize perfectly. Paintings above the sofa are suspended in tight rows as they were in galleries of the past. Textiles are nonchalantly mixed, such as a chintz and a stripe. Colors are deployed subtly and cleverly."
It all looks highly orchestrated, but Hogg believed her approach was to focus on the visual arrangement rather than an overall grand scheme: "I don't decorate; I just put things together," she claimed.
The midnight blue edition of Interiors
To find out more about Hogg and the people she influenced, order a copy of Interiors here;you can even choose your book's cover. There are four to choose from: saffron yellow, platinum gray, merlot red and midnight blue. Pick the right one for your own interior.

Cameroon English (CamE) phonology has already developed into a quasi-autonomous system. Thousands of segmental and stress deviations from native English reach, or approximate to a frequency of 100%.
Analysed from a generative perspective, the deviations are shown to derive from the fact that certain Received Pronunciation (RP) rules do not apply in CamE while others apply differently, partially or more generally, and still many others are typically Cameroonian.
One of the major proposals of the book is the concept of Trilateral Process which consists of RP phonological processes symbolized by a side AA', the restructuring of the RP underlying representation (UR) into a CamE UR by AB and CamE phonological rules by BB'. The concept is applicable to other non-native Englishes.
The Author: Dr Augustin Simo Bobda was born in Bayangam (Cameroon) in 1952. Senior Lecturer in English Language at the Ecole Normale Supérieure, University of Yaounde I. Author of numerous articles on English phonology, lexical and grammatical usage and English language teaching. Co-author of An Introduction to Spoken English (University of Lagos Press, 1993).

Q: Instead of adding value i'm replacing the value of array Hi all i'm trying to get an array of Sizes and Color which is inside an object. So when we click on the input a handler will be call i.e., clickHandler() but the code when run it replacing the value of the array each time when the handler is invoked.
export default function MiniDrawer() {
  const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(true);
  const [attributes, setAttributes] = React.useState([]);
  const [filterArray, setFilterArray] = React.useState({
     Size: [],
     Color: []
  });

  const clickHandler = (n, v)  => {
    setFilterArray({...filterArray, [n]:v})
  }

  React.useEffect(() => {
      axios.get('http://localhost:3004/attributes')
      .then(res => setAttributes(res.data))
      .catch(e => console.log(e))
  },[])

  return (
    <Box sx={{ display: 'flex' }}>
      <CssBaseline />
      <AppBar position="fixed" open={open}>
        <Toolbar>
          <Typography variant="h6" noWrap component="div">
            Dynamic Filter
          </Typography>
        </Toolbar>
      </AppBar>
      <Drawer variant="permanent" open={open}>

          <Typography variant='h6' className='m-2'>
              Filters
          </Typography>

        <Divider />

            <List>
                {
                    attributes.length > 0 && attributes.map((attribute, index) => {
                        return (

{attribute.att_id}

                                {
                                    attribute.att_value.map((v, index) => {
                                       return (

                                                <input className="form-check-input" onClick={() => clickHandler(attribute.att_id, v)} type="checkbox"  />
                                                {v}

                                       )}
                                    )
                                }

                        )
                    })
                }
            </List>

      </Drawer>
      <Box component="main" sx={{ flexGrow: 1, p: 3 }}>
        <DrawerHeader />
        <CardContainer filterArray={filterArray} />
      </Box>
    </Box>
  );
}

Inside the handler i'm passing two arguments which are key and value. The key can be either Size or Color.
let me also share the json folder.
"attributes": [
        {
            "att_id": "Size",
            "att_value":[ "S", "M", "2XL", "L", "XL", "XS", "3XL" ]
        },
        {
            "att_id": "Color",
            "att_value": ["Red", "Blue", "Silver", "Green", "Yellow", "Black"]
        }

My desire output is: { Size: [S, M, L], Color: [Red, Blue] }.
But Actual Output which i getting is : { Size: M, Color: Red }.

A: I think the issue here is both syntaxic and logical.
syntaxic because in your click handler you are replacing the array by a single value indeed. This can be changed like this:
const clickHandler = (name, value) => {
let newArr = filterArray[name];
if (!newArr.includes(value)){
    newArr.push(value)
} else {
   //remove value from array
}
setFilterArray(...filterArray, [name]: newArr);
}

I think in your case having arrays of booleans for the filterArray would make more sense and be more efficient.
Hope this helps.

Medical Coding Viral Syndrome and Bronchitis – Video
November 20, 2016 December 11, 2013 by Laureen Jandroep
Laureen: Q-30: I am ER coder, and the MD's frequently provide a final diagnosis of viral syndrome, and bronchitis. Would both conditions be coded?
A: Well, basically, what you have to figure out is one considered bundled, or symptom of the other, in this case I don't… I would say no. Right, Alicia, which, I would code both.
Alicia: Bronchitis doesn't tell you to…because it's an inflammation. Viral syndrome, they may want to know what the virus is, and if it is, then you could code that. But, yeah, you can code both of those, because a viral syndrome and bronchitis are two separate things. So, viral syndrome, there's a code for that – and she's got it there — but that's also an unspecified code, so that's not necessarily a good thing to do an unspecified. They want to know what type of viral things going on, viral syndrome is catch-all.
Laureen: Catch-all. Yeah. Jinx.
Alicia: Yeah, but it's okay to put them both in there.
Laureen: And you know, so the rule of thumb is like the patient has sore throat and strep throat, you don't code both because the sore throat is part of strep throat. But when it's questionable, you're not sure, my rule of thumb is go ahead and code both because it's documented.
Alicia: That's right.

Building Biden's Cabinet
Who's in, who's out and who's still in the mix for top jobs in President-elect Joe Biden's administration.
jdsmith December 10, 2020, 6:38pm #2
The schedule for what's on the other channel for the next four years is out:
https://www.foxnews.com/media/ric-grenell-cnn-jake-tapper-hunter-biden
Former Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell took a shot at CNN anchor Jake Tapper Wednesday for finally acknowledged the controversies surrounding Hunter Biden.
Tapper was the first anchor on CNN to address the statement released by the president-elect's son revealing his "tax affairs" were being investigated by the Delaware U.S. Attorney's Office.
Tapper shared a CNN report about the investigation on Twitter, which caught Grenell's attention.
"This story broke in October. You didn't do it then," said Grenell, who then asked Tapper point-blank: "Were you instructed to ignore it until after the election?"
Grenell's question appears to be valid after recordings leaked by Project Veritas last week revealed that CNN President Jeff Zucker and Political Director David Chalian urged staff back in October not to cover the explosive New York Post report that shed light on Hunter Biden's shady business dealings overseas.
"Obviously, we're not going with the New York Post story right now on Hunter Biden," Chalian is heard saying during a conference call on Oct. 14, the same day the Post published its first Hunter Biden story.
Haves funs with the thread!

This story broke in October.
Wait, did it? Where? To wit:
his "tax affairs" were being investigated by the Delaware U.S. Attorney's Office.
Would one have to take this up with the Delaware U.S. Attorney's Office for not revealing it? Or did I miss it? Granted if it was in the MSM I would likely have missed it, but I would expect to have seen it here (and rightly so!)
Ah, the great denier has arrived! OK, TG, have at it. Contort away.

Pish-posh. There's no narrative that states jdsmith wants impeachment. In fact, I do not. Thanks for asking. Fake news begins in ignorance, so careful now.
However, there is the handtagod truth that Hunter's Massive fuckups may drag Biden into the newly fanged croc-swamp. I'm sure he'll love it and the gaffs will be magical.

Time magazine has named Joe Biden and Kamala Harris 2020's Person of the Year.
The two made history on November 7 when they beat Donald Trump in a bitter election that put him in a small club of presidents who served only one term. Harris on that day became the country's first female, first Black and first South Asian vice president-elect.
"For changing the American story, for showing that the forces of empathy are greater than the furies of division, for sharing a vision of healing in a grieving world, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are TIME's 2020 Person of the Year," wrote Time editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal.

And that nasty Bill Barr, that Trump stoogie, actually did his job> gtfooh? I thought he was a notsee or summin:
https://archive.is/crSY2
Barr Worked to Keep Hunter Biden Probes From Public View During Election
Mr. Barr was aware of the investigations involving Hunter Biden before the spring, the person said, though it isn't clear when or how he first learned of the inquiries.
Justice Department guidelines advise investigators against taking overt actions in a run-up to an election so as not to be seen as affecting the outcome.
And this is my favorite part:
The Biden transition team has declined to say when Joe Biden learned of the investigation. A statement circulated by that team on Wednesday said President-elect Mr. Biden is "proud of his son, who has fought through difficult challenges, including the vicious personal attacks of recent months, only to emerge stronger."
Tell me again why the Biden Transition team is fielding this question in the first place? Aside from controlling the spin?

Me too. Maybe Biden was picked to piss somebody off, if you know what I mean.
And who do you think they voted for?
I have no idea of their political leanings. Do you?
Well, Oblahblah got the Peace Prize for all his wokeness. The Big Guy should get Chinese financial advisor of the year as well.
Yeah I do. I think they voted for the person who isn't against masks and every common sense anti-COVID protocol they've advocated for months.

Filing for bankruptcy relief is not something that most people assume will be in their future. However, even a small financial crisis can cause a person to miss one or two payments to their creditors. Once a person falls behind on mortgage payments, car loans, and credit card bills, it can be very difficult for that person to catch up, even after the financial crisis has passed. Fortunately, the Bankruptcy Code provides individuals and companies with a legal means of disposing of debt they cannot afford to pay.
Bankruptcy is not designed to strip away all your property and leave you with nothing. It is designed to give you a fresh start so that you can get back on your feet financially and begin to rebuild after a financial crisis. To learn more about filing bankruptcy in Florida, call (888) 316-2131 to request a free bankruptcy consultation with a Daytona bankruptcy attorney. Our bankruptcy law firm assists clients throughout Volusia County find an affordable solution to debt problems.
You can have debt relief and keep your property! We can tell you how during your free appointment.
There are several chapters of bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Code available to individuals and businesses. Individuals, couples, and sole proprietors can file for debt relief under Chapter 13. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy case is also referred to as a "wage earner bankruptcy" because it allows a debtor to reorganize his or her debts through a bankruptcy plan.
When you file a Chapter 13 case, you must propose a repayment plan to the court. Your bankruptcy plan outlines how you intend to reorganize your unsecured debts into an affordable monthly payment. Some secured debts, such as car loans, may also be included in the monthly payment. A Chapter 13 plan takes between three to five years to complete. Once you complete your plan, the remaining balances owed on most, if not all, your unsecured debts are discharged. Creditors with discharged debts cannot take any action to collect the remaining balances on the accounts. Therefore, a Chapter 13 filing not only resolves your debt problems, but it also stops creditor harassment.
How Does a Chapter 13 Work in Florida?
When you file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition, the court assigns a case number and notifies your creditors that you have filed for bankruptcy relief. Your creditors must then work within the bankruptcy court to resolve the debt you owe to them. Creditors may not continue collection efforts or begin new collection actions without court approval. Therefore, filing a Chapter 13 petition stops repossessions, foreclosures, wage garnishments, collection lawsuits, and other forms of debt collection immediately.
As part of your bankruptcy filing, you must file a proposed Chapter 13 plan. Your bankruptcy plan provides the court and your creditors the details of how you intend to reorganize your debt. In most cases, your Chapter 13 plan payment will cover the payment for car loans, taxes, back child support, past due alimony, credit cards, medical debts, and other unsecured debts.
Mortgages on your home or other real estate are typically paid directly to the creditor outside of the bankruptcy plan. However, you may be able to eliminate the lien of a second mortgage if you meet the requirements for lien stripping, which we will discuss in further detail below.
The court must approve your plan; therefore, amendments may be necessary. Our Daytona bankruptcy attorney has extensive experience calculating bankruptcy plan payments. We propose the lowest plan payment allowable by law to help ensure you do not pay more than is required based on your financial situation.
Once your bankruptcy plan is confirmed, you continue paying your monthly plan payment to the Chapter 13 trustee until you complete the plan. The Chapter 13 trustee disburses the payments to creditors in accordance with the terms of your confirmed plan. In most cases, a Chapter 13 debtor pays a small fraction of the total unsecured debt through a repayment plan. Therefore, you could get rid of tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt, personal loans, medical bills, and other debts for pennies on the dollar.
After all payments are received, the Chapter 13 trustee conducts a final review and submits an accounting to the court. The court then issues an Order of Discharge relieving your legal liability to repay any of the discharged debts. In other words, unsecured creditors who received only a small percentage of the money owed to them cannot take any action whatsoever to collect the remaining amount owed.
• Keep Your Home and Car — Filing a Chapter 13 case stops foreclosures and repossessions. In Chapter 13, debtors can keep their home and careven if they are behind on the payments and facing foreclosure or repossession.
• Restructure Car Loans — Through a Chapter 13 plan, you can lower the amount of your monthly payment on your car loan by stretching it out over 60 months. In addition, you may be able to lower the interest rate and even lower the amount of the loan that is considered secured debt.
• Lien Stripping and Cramdowns — In some cases, a debtor may be able to get rid of a second mortgage by paying a small percentage of the amount owed on the loan. Some debtors may also lower the amount of the secured lien on their car so that they pay less than is owed on the car to satisfy the lien.
• Avoid Contempt of Court for Support Payments — You cannot discharge alimony or child support. However, if you are behind in your domestic support payments, you can repay the past due portion through a Chapter 13 plan to avoid jail, provided you remain current on all future payments.
If you are considering a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing or you have additional questions, you can discuss your situation with a Daytona bankruptcy attorney for free. For your free bankruptcy consultation, call (888) 316-2131 now or use the contact form on our website. We are ready to help you get out of debt and rebuild your credit through a bankruptcy filing.

benf.org : other : cfr : Renaming methods - (For obfuscation or otherwise).
nb: This is related to, but different from illegal field/method names, and renamed field names.
Related to field renaming is method renaming - because the JVM performs lookups based on the entire signature of a method, it's possible to create/use an obfuscator to rebuild a class so that two functions which have the same signature apart from return type are renamed to the same name.
The JVM will have no trouble distinguishing these, but it's illegal java. (There's a seperate discussion about bridge methods I'm not going to go into, unless someone asks!) This is a pretty nice technique for rendering decompiled code harder to read.
One problem that might occur is to have two interfaces, which each implement a legitimate method, and a class which implements both interfaces - to decompile this and fix the names, CFR has to rewrite the names in both interface definitions (and all other implementors of these interfaces) as well as in the clashing class.
Above - only BadDesc1 can see that there's a possible clash, but all of these classes/interfaces need to be rewritten in order to generate code which will compile. The flag --renamedupmembers true will perform an additional pass before anything is decompiled to check for this.
This is because in the first example, we've used Java's support for covariant return types, where as no such relationship exists between int and String.
As of 0_95, CFR correctly spots that the former is legal java, and the renamedupmembers flag has no effect, however it will rewrite the names in the latter example.
CFR 0_95 now attempts to fix these issues when the renamedupmembers flag is set, however, I suspect there may be edge cases I don't yet get correct - please feel free to mail me if so!

This year's Green Book?
Posted in Lists and Top 10's, Movie Blog, Oscars & Awards, tagged 1917, Best Picture Nominations, Ford v Ferrari, JoJo Rabbit, Joker, Little Women, Marriage Story, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Oscar 2020, Oscars, Parasite, The Irishman on February 9, 2020| 1 Comment »
Last year, shortly before the Oscars I wrote about how I thought Green Book was in with a real shout of winning the best picture Oscar. Because of the way the best picture is voted for, it can be seen that the most popular film, doesn't necessarily win, it is more that the least unpopular movie wins. A quick recap on how voting works: In other categories the voter picks their favourite and the person/people/movie with the most votes wins. In the Best Picture poll however, each voter ranks the films from favourite to least favourite. All the votes are counted and if a film achieves over 50% of the vote it wins. If however there is no clear winner, the film to achieve the lowest number of votes (or number one picks) is eliminated. The vote is recounted; the second place pick of anyone who voted for the eliminated film is now elevated to the first choice. This process is continually repeated until one film achieves over half the ballot and is declared winner.
Thus the least unpopular movie triumphs. Green Book probably wasn't the film to get the most number one picks, but it probably got a lot of 2nd, 3rd or even fourth place picks. The complication this year is that it's a really strong field, with no obvious Green Book. The closest is probably either Ford v Ferrari, or Little Women. Another curveball, Netflix. It is often suggested that lots of voters don't go to the movies so haven't seen all they have voted for. Sure, they get screeners of nominated films, but is there a higher chance that the will already have seen a movie on a screening platform like Marriage Story and The Irishman. They we have the Hollywood effect, Hollywood has no vanity and doest vote for movies about itself does it? Films about films and the industry tend to do well, and Once upon a Time in Hollywood is a real love letter to the town and the industry. Joker and Jojo Rabbit may be just a little to divisive and Parasite has the massive battle of subtitles to overcome.
So who will win? who knows, and who really cares? The true merit of a film is how much the viewer enjoys it, not how many awards it wins, or how much money it makes! With this in mind, here is my ranking the best picture nominations from favourite to least favourite:
Movie of the Month: January 2020
Posted in Movie Blog, Movie Of The Month, tagged 1917, Bad Boys For Life, Bombshell, Just Mercy, Long Day's Journey into Night, Parasite, Queen & Slim, Seberg, The Gentlemen on February 2, 2020| 2 Comments »
The new year has started strongly with some excellent movies:
The Gentlemen – Guy Ritchie, returns to what Guy Ritchie does, British gangsters. While not as fresh and original as his early work, it is a refreshing change from some of the rubbish he has made more recently. It's all too slick and contrived to be great, but is really good fun. Worth watching for standout performances from Colin Farrell and Hugh Grant.
Just Mercy – The true story of Bryan Stevenson (a guest of Desert Island Discs a few years ago – still available on BBC website) a Harvard law graduate who sets up the Equal Justice Initiative, to help people who can't afford suitable legal representation. The story is powerful and moving concentrating on a wrongly convicted death row inmate. Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx are both excellent, Brie Larson isn't given much to do.
Seberg – Focussing on a small period of Jean Seberg's life when she is targeted by the FBI's surveillance program COINTELPRO following her brief relationship with Hakim Abdullah Jamal (a cousin of Malcolm X and proponent of the Black Power movement). The period detail looks amazing Kristen Stewart is superb but the film is a little lacking in direction and drive.
1917 – Set on the Western Front in northern France at the height of WW1, two young British soldiers are tasked with delivering a vital message. Made up of long takes (up to nine minutes at a time) and near seamlessly edited together to look like a single take. It's not the first single take movie, and far from the longest take, but it is certainly the most ambitious given what is depicted. Although fictional, it is inspired by a true story told to writer/director Sam Mendes by his grandfather. An outstanding and breathtaking movie that is so much more than the (effective) gimmick of its shooting. Dean-Charles Chapman and particularly George MacKay are both excellent.
Long Day's Journey into Night – A man returns to his hometown for his father's funeral. He reminisces about an old friend killed years before, and sets out to find a lost love. The whole film has a dreamlike quality as it skips around in time and space until the final hour depicts an actual dream, shot as one unbroken long take shot. A lot is left unexplained leaving the viewer to decipher the story from the flashbacks and the dream. Stunning throughout, the film is at its best in the final hour.
Bad Boys For Life – 25 years after the first film Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back for the long mooted third installment. The film essentially has one joke; the family man wants to retire, and his partner has nothing to live for other than his job. Sound familiar, Lethal Weapon did it better 30 years ago. Having said that it is fun and the action is well choreographed.
Bombshell – The true story of the downfall of Roger Ailes, the head of Fox News for sexual harassment. Centring on three women; Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, and Margot Robbie, the performances are ultimately stronger than the movie itself. The production has been praised for the make-up by Kazu Hiro (who won an Oscar for Darkest Hour, and is nominated for this), I found it distracting. On investigation Theron, and Kidman look incredibly like the characters they are portraying, but prior to watching the movie, I and many audiences outside America didn't know who these people are. The performances would have been enough on their own without the prosthetics. I felt more engaged with Margot Robbie playing a composite of multiple people, and Kate McKinnon playing a fictional character.
Parasite – I will not give the obligatory synopsis, or even genre for director Bong Joon Ho's movie. I went in knowing nothing. I had seen snippets of the trailer, and nothing more. I think the film is best enjoyed this way. While there are no outstanding performances, the whole cast is sensational. The direction is sublime, and the story subtly brilliant, with movements of humour, pathos, and overflowing with subtext.
Queen & Slim – A line from the movie (and trailer) "Well, if it isn't the black Bonnie and Clyde", seems to have attached itself to the marketing of the film. The setup and subsequent road-trip actually has more in common with Thelma & Louise, than the criminal exploits of Bonnie and Clyde. The story snowballs from an incident that has been explored in many other movies, this is possibly the subtlest and most powerful I have seen. The brilliance of the film is that it gives a hint of the power of legend, media and public perception, but it never tells that story instead sticking with the main protagonists Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith. A first feature for director Melina Matsoukas, I will be interested in seeing what she does next.
1917, Long Day's Journey into Night, and Queen & Slim, would all have been worthy winners, but they all fall short of the amazing movie of the month winner: Parasite.


This doesn't look like it is going to comment on the voting, which is what I am trying to do.
The Provo Temple is so busy in the evenings and Saturdays–the only time I can go–that I know I will be there for close to four hours per visit. After working all day, sometimes that is hard to contemplate.
When I do go, once I get past the chapel wait, my experience improves, because I am taking my precious family names.
With daytime sessions nearly empty, I've heard we won't get another temple in Utah County, because the temple is not being fully utilized. Catch 22!
I just wish we could go more easily – those of you in Utah, please appreciate it! Our nearest temple is over 2.5 hours away, so on the odd occasion we can get a babysitter to look after all 4 (small) kids (once a year if we are lucky) it takes all day to do just one session or similar. We miss going so much, before children we were temple workers and went once a month for 3 years or so. If we had a temple within a half hour drive at least we could take it in turns to go in an evening. You Utahns are luckier than you know with so many beautiful temples so close!
I have trouble arranging transportation, since my husband gets worried about me taking the car in the mornings (he works swing shift), and he's not willing to come with me on Saturdays because he finds the ordinance rooms uncomfortably full (he's very uncomfortable in crowded rooms).
In the past, transportation was the biggest issue. We didn't have a vehicle, and then when we did, we couldn't afford gas. I am in a better financial position now, so that isn't so much of a problem now. Even if it is, I try to schedule time during the monthly ward temple day. This allows me to carpool with others. The downside is they leave right when I get home from work, so I have to leave work early or race over there once I get home. Having it in my calendar every month helps me to plan for it.
I accidently forgot to mark in that it's difficult to find a babysitter. The other problem is that the nearest temple is 3 hours away, and I'm breastfeeding. It's difficult to find a sitter in a city that far away, but I can't leave my baby with someone at home all day. It's a bad situation, because I plan to breastfeed all my children for at least a year–that's like every other year for a year it will be extremely difficult to get to the temple. We end up going to the temple when we visit my parents in San Diego.
Thanks everyone for taking the poll and sharing your thoughts. I will add another mark to the "difficult to find a babysitter" option for you, Brouge.
I'd like to add there is another reason why it's difficult to attend. Like quite of few LDS that have been asked, most work near the temple. Because the Temple has strict dress requirements and many jobs make us too dirty to attend. There are no showers thus members have to drive back home up to 50 miles and shower and change to appropriate dress then drive 50 miles back i.e. Kona, Hawaii to Kamuela, Hawaii. This is quite difficult on gas and time. Many of us could go more often if we had appropriate facilities. Then with service projects and callings on our days off it becomes difficult to attend also.
I am 75 years old and go to the Oklahoma City Temple EVERY Tuesday morning. I drive 75 miles, one way, by myself, and attend two endowment sessions and do sealings between the two endowment sessions. If you really WANT to go to the Temple, you will. You make the time for the things you really want to do. Heavenly Father will help you have the needed transporation, money for the amount of gas it takes, and many other blessings if you will just make to effort to GO, at a set time and stick to it. Everyone knows NOT to call me on Tuesdays, members and non-members alike, because they know I leave for the City about 7am and arrive back home around 2:30 – 3pm in the afternoon. And it's a wonderful day and experience. The more often you attend, the more you learn and understand.
Look, there's a reason that they changed the policies to disallow moms of children under 18 to serve as temple workers. There's homework to supervise and lessons/activity days/scouts/mutual to support, and children to supervise that they get to bed early enough to get to seminary in the morning. They may be largely independent, but they want your presence. Add in two full-time jobs and it just doesn't work so well except once a month or more realistically once a quarter.
That's the problem… how often is often enough? It feels like nagging every time it's brought up.
I've lived both in Utah and in the mission field. (Believe me, those of you who live within minutes of a Temple, if you ever live eight hours from a Temple, you will no longer take one for granted — and I did take the Temple for granted when we lived ten minutes from one!) Later, after living eight hours from a Temple and still going to the Temple once a month — even living that far away from one — we finally got a Temple within 35 miles of our home, I then went to the Temple twice a week — as many members of our ward did — including mothers of school children. (My husband joined me there in the evenings at least twice a month.) Then we moved to an area where we were two and a half hours away from a Temple. At that time, my husband and I were called to be ordinance workers for two years. We drove two and a half hours each way, twice a month and did two back to back shifts. We left before eight a.m. in the morning on Saturday and didn't get back home until after midnight. (There were several other couples we knew in our Temple district who had a similar — or worse — schedule and still served as we did.) My husband worked at least a 50 hour work week and had to be to PEC before 7:00 a.m. every Sunday morning after we got home from the Temple after midnight. We then moved to an area where we were five hours from a Temple and still volunteered to be ordinance workers. As the 75 year-old who commented above said, you will make time to do what you want to do!
Interesting comments. I believe Satan will do all he can to not only prevent us from attending the Temple, as we should, but also doing anything productive and worth while; he strives to fill our lives with things that seem important, things that shout at us for attention and end up taking most of our precious time, things that seem to feed our selfish natures, when the promptings of the Spirit consistently and quietly strive to reach out to us. We need to train ourselves to listen more to the promptings of the Spirit and shut out the things of the world; shut out the "shoutings" of Satan. Then the things of God will become more precious to us, we will naturally begin to perform the works that we should be doing; those things that our Father would have us do, His will, not ours. In the process we become sanctified, but we must take steps to turn to Him and turn from the world and its teachings and influence. Just a few thoughts….
My husband and I had made a commitment to go to the temple every single Thursday morning now that our youngest child is in first grade. My husband is self employed so this works for us. However, we soon found that as soon as we made that commitment, all the powers of the adversary seemed to be rising up against us. You name it, come Thursday morning we would inevitably have a flat tire or a sick child or some other type of emergency. What we have found is that we have to just go anyway- unless we or one of our kids are sick. This is really the law of consecration in action for us, because we have had to learn to just get up and bull forward in order to get to the temple- leave the dishes in the sink, the bed unmade and all the other seemingly "needful" things on the back burner until we get home. Often, we get to the temple only to find that it is so full and busy, we have to sit and wait for an hour or more. This is another sacrifice because we know that we may not get back home in time to accomplish anything we thought was needful that day. But we go anyway. We sacrifice a day for it, and somehow it always seems to be made up to us. Our weekends are happier and more productive, our marriage is stronger and our family is blessed in ways we never imagined. It has changed our lives.
I remember once not long ago, after a particularly hairy morning trying to get out the door to the temple, we sat in the temple parking lot for an hour- my husband comforting me while I cried and cried about why it always seemed so hard to get there. I felt so defeated because by the time we had arrived at the temple that day I was so flustered and upset, I didn't feel I had the spirit anymore and didn't want to go inside, feeling unworthy to be there. But my husband sat there in the car with me patiently and reminded me that we had all the time we needed that day. The kids were in school, the house wasn't burning down. Nothing was so important that we needed to get back to. I realized then that most of my frustration about getting to the temple was because I had always been in a hurry to get there, get it done, and get home. Once we realized that we really had to just ignore everything temporal, slow down and dedicate the whole day to focusing solely on the temple, all the hard things about going seemed to vanish and the windows of Heaven have been thrown open wide to bless us for our efforts.
Stephanie, you are an inspiration! Well done for your consecration, that is such a good lesson you relate in putting the important things first! Thank you for sharing.
Checked "other": traffic. Even though we're only about 25 miles from the DC temple, on a good day that's an hour one-way in traffic, and closer to two on a bad day. So 2-4 hours transit time, 3-4 hours temple time, plus 1 hour getting something to eat–that's a full day right there. Just not possible to do on a weekeday.
That could have fallen under "transportation problems." Thanks for taking the poll!
I live in KwaZulu Natal, here in South Africa. Our temple is in Johannesburg, a 6 hour drive away. We, as a ward, go to the temple once a year, and we look forward all year to that trip. There are not that many active members in our ward, yet almost every active member is on that bus when we leave to go. We have just come back from a very productive (as far as names carried and ordinances done) and spiritual trip, and are already looking forward to the next one. we are also looking forward to having a temple closer to us in the next few years. I must admit that when we have been to the temple sometimes, that I have noticed very low numbers of local people. What the problem is, I do not know.
If doesn't get on my calendar, I don't go. I have to put it into the schedule months ahead. I work 3 days a week, so I try to go every other Friday AM after I take the kids to school. But the month it isn't penciled in, it gets filled with other stuff. There is a temple in our city, so it isn't like I'm driving for hours to get there.
I do think there are times in our lives when we are better able to go–like Pat, for example. My guess is when I'm not busy raising little kids, volunteering in classrooms weekly, etc, my time will be more discretionary to go more. My parents serve weekly in the temple–something they weren't able to do when I was little b/c the temple was an overnight's stay away.
I imagine it is harder when you have two schedules to work in. My husband isn't a member so I'm just going on my own time, not needing to go when he can go, etc. Sometimes I go with women from my ward, but really, I prefer to just go by myself. I pay better attention.
As an excommunicated and divorced member, I do not have a temple recommend nor some body to go with. My testimony of temples is, however, undimmed. My father in law would ask young couples in the sealing room, if they would go to the temple as often as he did. Undaunted, many would commit, finally realizing that he was not asking them to spend their days in the temple as he did, but to go at every opportunity. Many retired couples, gather in their last days to live closeby the temple, so they can be regular attenders and workers. There is a time, for sure, but where is your heart?
You may not have a special experieince every time you go there, but you will have special experiences there. So you get to choose whether you have such experiences often or by the decade. If it takes 3 hours driving to get to the temple, then you slice your investment by doing two sessions instead of just one. If you want to do other work, they most often can accomodate. Temples brought my grandmother from her Swiss Alps and temples will bring her grandson back to it's granite walls.
I think one important thing to remember is to not judge others. Everybody's life is different, and really it comes down to individual circumstances. It's like the widow and the mite. She gave what she could, as small as it was and in the Lord's eyes, it was more than the rich that gave hundreds more than her. We have to look inside ourselves to know what we can do and where we can improve. It's the spirit of the law. It's not like Heavenly Father is going to say when we get to heaven, "Did you attend the temple at least X amount of times?" People with many small children will probably find it harder to attend as often as a retired couple with less dependents relying on them for daily needs. I believe that is why the apostles preach to just improve ourselves and make a better effort, not specific requirements. Anyway, just some thoughts!
Nursing babies is the hardest for me. I have had 9 children in 16 years so the temple has been hard to get to at times. I now take one of my older children with me and they stay in the foyer with the baby while I go through a session.
Well for me, I have a busy week. I work a 9 to 5 volunteer job for the Red Cross as a AmeriCorps VISTA worker. I know I am doing good work their and my first time at the Temple, as I went about three ago. I actually took a day off from work. Now it's not that I don't want to go, I do. But it's just finding the time to go. I get home from work and the first thing I end up doing is falling asleep. My only free days are Saturdays and Sundays and it's hard to find any time to do it. Although I know the Temple is calling me back as I had a really profound dream this morning about going.
I have enjoyed reading the comments today, even though most are a few months old. I teach Gospel Doctrine and this week's lesson is on coming to the House of the Lord.
I was inactive after high school for a few years and when I started to go back to Church, I felt as though I would never be worthy enough to go to the Temple again. I had gone as a youth and also had been sealed to my parents when I was a young child. For quite a few years, I felt like my situation was hopeless, and then through the diligence and patience of a wonderful Branch Pres., I was able to overcome challenges. Don't let me forget, also a Priesthood blessing.
The Raleigh temple in NC is less than 3 hours from me and so me and some of the other RS sisters go more frequently there. We definitely have to prepare to go because we have to make appointments to attend there, we cannot just show up like at some of the larger temples, and if we wait too long to prepare, the sessions are full.
I think the Lord understands especially the mothers of young children. That, to me, has to be the hardest time to find to go to the temple. But stay worthy, keep an active temple recommend, and one day, those children will be older and you will be able to manage your time a little better. Still not easy, but more doable.
I am so thankful for all the temples we have and still hope for one closer to where I live, but in order to have one built, I need to keep going and encourage others to do so. Good luck to everyone!
I loved reading all of these comments. My husband and I are a little bit older now and I feel our difficulties of getting to the temple over the years have changed. I remember going through each of these stages from babies to work and busy schedules. My husband is self employed and works a tremendous amount of hours per week. We go to the temple on the spur of the moment. One of the best things I have done is to have a designated "temple dress" that I wear to the temple. I don't have to think of what to wear and it is a "no iron" dress that is easy to slip on in a hurry. A somewhat different temple service that I do that has brought numerous blessings is "indexing" from my home computer on the "familysearch" website. I feel I am helping to do temple work by providing the names for church members to find their ancestors names, so they can take their family names to the temple.

This was an exhausting project for The Telegraph in which I hiked the five most popular routes to Machu Picchu in Peru. Over the course of a month at high altitude I created a short video series.
It had taken me seven hours to navigate the final six miles of Peru's most famous trek, the Inca Trail and, as I rounded the final cobbled corner of the route, the ancient entrance of Machu Picchu came into view.
Before me, the Sun Gate lay at the crest of the path, shrouded by a copse of Andean qeuña trees. The jungle hummed with myriad flitting insects, yet there wasn't a human voice to be heard. It was eerily and uncharacteristically calm.

LAUSD labor talks
Commentary: Do I strike? A teacher wants to make informed decisions
Karina Gensicke | January 2, 2019
I listened in angst to hear what my union's response would be to the fact-finding panel's report as it relates to the contract negotiations between LAUSD and UTLA. When I heard that we were moving to strike, I felt like a child caught between two parents in a bitter divorce.
I have taught with LAUSD for 13 years and have always made it a point to put my students first. Because I wanted to become the best advocate I could for them, I adopted a holistic approach to their education. This meant learning more about educational budgets and how money is allocated by the state.
As a participating union member, in August I voted to strike. But as my district and union have gone to the bargaining table during the past few months, I hoped that they would reach a resolution to benefit all. I wanted to believe that both sides would be willing to concede on proposals that proved unreasonable, be it because of cost or constraints.
As the strike looms, many questions remain unanswered for me. I hope that these are the same questions many of my fellow teachers are asking because what happens next will impact thousands of teachers like me and hundreds of thousands of students in Los Angeles.
Can the extra money in the LAUSD budget help us get a step closer to a solution?
At the Dec. 11 school board meeting, the LAUSD chief financial officer provided a breakdown of the contentious $1.9 billion balance, including the funds already allocated for specific purposes and the money that is left for our use. This analysis includes the cost of a 6 percent raise for teachers and leaves $680 million, if not less, due to reserves. Is there more that can be done with this money or is it truly fiscally unsound to spend the remaining reserves?
Why don't we use the report's findings to move us forward?
The fact-finding report suggested that a 6 percent pay raise is a fair offer based on our economic climate and should be agreed on in conjunction with allocating funds towards class size reduction, librarians, nurses and other professional staff which will incur costs. The report also found that we may have to make adjustments to retiree health benefits decisions in order to free up money for future salaries. Why can't we build on these findings to move towards an agreement?
What is the district's final offer?
As an LAUSD teacher and union member, I want to have a clear understanding of what the final LAUSD offer, especially in the context of the fact-finding report. Without this, teachers can't share how they feel about it with their union representatives so that whatever decisions are made daily are based on the most recent conversations with the members.
The district is now offering a set 6 percent salary raise with no contingencies and back pay to 2017, $30 million from the moneys available to reduce class size and hire additional counselors, librarians and nurses, and the option to form a working group for LAUSD and UTLA to agree on replacement language in the contract which deals with class size. Is this not a shift from the offer that we voted to strike on in August?
Based on this offer by the district, will I get to vote to strike?
UTLA has moved to strike on Jan. 10 if the district does not make dramatic shifts in its bargaining. Are we taking the movement by the district into consideration as we move forward, or are we only working off of the information LAUSD teachers had four months ago? Would my vote to strike that occurred back in August still be a vote to strike or will we be able to consider the latest offer?
Asking these fundamental questions is crucial for me because a strike will cause significant damage to my students' education. Their loss of instructional time with their classroom teacher cannot be regained. I do not want to walk out on them if we may be insisting on a conglomerate of outcomes that are not fiscally feasible. I do not want to walk out on my students if bargaining has not been made transparent. I do not want to walk out on them if our individual voices have become absent at the bargaining table or advice of impartial counsel is being disregarded.
I had hoped for more clarity by now. I think we must continue asking questions and looking for the answers before making a final decision to walk the picket line. Let's request a voice in crucial decisions that are being made, and learn more about how schools are funded. We may yet find that our biggest fight will be in getting our union and district allied and ready to visit Sacramento, so that our legislators help to provide more funding that all of our students deserve.

La Excelentísima Orden del Imperio Británico (en inglés, The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire; OBE) es una orden de caballería fundada el 4 de junio de 1917 por el rey Jorge V.

Historia
Los nombramientos se realizan por recomendación de los Gobiernos del Reino Unido y de algunos reinos de la Mancomunidad de Naciones. Por convención las juezas de la Corte Suprema de Inglaterra y Gales son automáticamente damas comendadoras. Los jueces son Knights Bachelor.

El monarca británico es el soberano de la Orden y es quien nombra a los otros miembros de la misma. El siguiente miembro en importancia es el gran maestre, actualmente vacante tras el fallecimiento de Felipe de Edimburgo. Además, la Orden tiene seis oficiales: el prelado (el obispo de Londres, tercer obispo más importante en la Iglesia anglicana), el deán (siempre el deán de la Catedral de San Pablo de Londres), el rey de armas, el registrador, también el secretario y el ujier del Sello Rojo.

Entre 1957 y 1974 se decidió que las órdenes otorgadas por valentía lucirían dos hojas de roble plateadas sobre los galones, pero se abandonó al instaurarse la Queen's Gallantry Medal.

En ciertas ocasiones, el soberano designa un Collar Day, durante el cual, los miembros pueden lucir el collar de la Orden sobre el uniforme o el vestido de ceremonia. Los collares son devueltos al soberano después de la muerte del receptor, si bien el resto de las insignias se pueden conservar.

Desde 1960 la capilla de la Orden está situada en la cripta de la catedral de San Pablo de Londres; los servicios se realizan en la nave principal.

Los dos primeros rangos implican entrar en la caballería y utilizan los prefijos Sir o Dame. Además, los condecorados de gran cruz pueden colgar su estandarte heráldico en la capilla de la Orden. Si lo tienen, pueden añadir al suyo el anillo (un círculo con el lema) y el collar. Los caballeros comendadores y los comendadores pueden usar el anillo en su escudo, pero no el collar. La insignia cuelga del collar o del anillo.

Se pueden crear caballeros honorarios en caso de no ser ciudadanos británicos. En tal caso, pueden usar el post-nominal correspondiente, pero no el prefijo.

Grados
La Orden comprende cinco clases en cada una de sus dos divisiones: civil y militar. La Orden consta de los siguientes grados:

 Gran Cruz de Caballero o Gran Cruz de Dama de la Orden del Imperio Británico (GBE)
 Caballero Comendador (KBE) o Dama Comendadora de la Orden del Imperio Británico (DBE)
 Comendador de la Orden del Imperio Británico (CBE)
 Oficial de la Orden del Imperio Británico (OBE)
 Miembro de la Orden del Imperio Británico (MBE)

La Orden está limitada a 100 en la clase gran cruz, y comprende aproximadamente 845 caballeros comendadores y 8960 comendadores. No hay límites para las otras clases, pero solo se pueden nombrar 858 oficiales y 1464 miembros por año.

Vestimentas y distintivos

Grandes ocasiones
Reuniones de la Orden o coronaciones:

 La capa: Lucida por los caballeros y damas de la gran cruz, confeccionada en satén de color rosa con líneas en gris perla. En el costado izquierdo está bordada la estrella.
 El collar: Lucido nada más que por los caballeros y damas de la gran cruz, está hecho de oro. Consiste en seis medallones con el escudo real, alternado con seis medallones con el monograma real. Los medallones están unidos mediante hilos de oro que sostienen lones y coronas. La insignia cuelga del collar.

Otras ocasiones
 La estrella: Una estrella de ocho puntas para los miembros Gran Cruz y de cuatro puntas para los miembros Comendadores. Está hecha en plata, y en el medio lleva un anillo rojo con el lema de la Orden (For God and the Empire / Por Dios y por el Imperio). Originalmente, en el centro aparecía la imagen de Britania, pero desde 1937 aparecen las imágenes de Jorge V y la Reina María.

 La insignia: Es la única insignia que lucen todos los miembros. Es una cruz patoncé, con el mismo medallón central que la estrella en el anverso y el monograma real de Jorge V en el reverso. Sobre el brazo superior de la cruz hay una corona imperial. Varía de tamaño según la clase, y para las clases Caballeros de la Gran Cruz, Caballeros Comendadores y Comendadores es de esmalte azul cielo con el anillo en rojo; la de Oficiales es dorada y la de Miembro es en plata.

Está sostenida por un galón rosa con las puntas en gris perla. La división militar lleva además una franja gris perla central.

US wants 10-year prison term for Mexican…
US wants 10-year prison term for Mexican ex-commander
By Michael Tarm and The Associated Press |
PUBLISHED: August 23, 2018 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 6, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
CHICAGO (AP) — Prosecutors are asking a federal judge in Chicago to impose an above-the-guidelines 10-year prison sentence on a former Mexican intelligence-unit commander for divulging secrets to the Beltran Leyva drug cartel for money.
Ivan Reyes Arzate, who worked closely for years with U.S. agents, deserves a far stiffer punishment for the havoc he caused than the sentence of around three years recommended by U.S. sentencing guidelines, prosecutors argue in a late Wednesday filing.
"In the world of international narcotics investigations, one can hardly envision a more serious betrayal," it says about the American-trained Arzate, who was a main point of contact for intelligence sharing between U.S. agencies and Mexican Federal Police.
Arzate"s Chicago attorney, Joseph Lopez, asked for a 17-month prison term. Arzate has been jailed in Chicago since early last year, so with time served, that would mean he would go free almost immediately.
U.S. judges have enormous discretion and aren"t strictly bound by sentencing guidelines. In May, Arzate pleaded no contest to obstruction of justice charges. Sentencing is set for Aug. 29.
Prosecutors" filings say leaks of intelligence once led the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to suspend nearly all of its operations in Mexico as agents sought to flush out a cartel mole — who they say turned out to be Arzate.
Prosecutors say he drew on his access to U.S. secrets to help unmask someone informing on the cartel. The person was later tortured and killed. Arzate denies telling the cartel about the informant.
The defense filing says Arzate risked his life for years, including to help capture important cartel figures. It notes he lost his high-status police job and would likely have to revert to working as a carpenter when he returns to Mexico.
"Arzate has received just punishment," the filing says.
A former member of the Beltran Leyva cartel, referred to only as "Witness A" in filings, will testify at Arzate"s sentencing hearing and describe Arzate"s cooperation with the cartel for at least a decade, the government"s filing says.

The past has a way of showing itself, and in the small underground basement of Milkboy Philly, the shared history between Josiah Johnson, Jen Borst and Navid Eliot was both understated and understood, woven into song so completely that it felt like another instrument in the room. It was still a few hours before they would play their own sets of music on the venue's upstairs stage – Johnson appearing solo, and Borst and Eliot performing as Planes On Paper – though even their individual material bore a common thread. Emotionally stirring and bursting with heart, Johnson's "I Wish I Had" and Planes On Paper's "Television" are striking portraits shaped by regret, insight and compassion. Accompanying each other, the trio of musicians effortlessly tapped into the tenderness at the root of it all, as the beautiful blend of their voices depicted both a desire to start again and a longing for a world without division, discord and noise. But while anyone can share a space and a microphone and never achieve a connection that feels so honest and unforced, the family bond and musical chemistry that flows between these friends did, making the message of their songs feel that much more powerful. Sustaining that same atmosphere during separate evening performances that frequently saw them join forces onstage, both Johnson and Planes on Paper were able to bring a sense of warmth and sincerity to a compelling night of music.
Josiah Johnson's set consisted of a few beloved cuts from The Head and The Heart, but primarily focused on the as yet unreleased solo material compiled during his time away from the band.

It's time for the homecoming dance! And who couldn't be more excited than those of you attending for the first time, right? Now don't fret. Allow us to help you win your first-ever homecoming dance.
1. Check your school's dress code.
The first thing you need to know about dances and other school events is that they generally come with a dress code. Some schools will prescribe what you can and cannot wear, including the recommended lengths of your dress or the allowable necklines. Most homecoming dance dress codes would require attendees to wear formal or semi-formal attires. Make sure you know the dress code for your school dance so you can abide by it, rather than risk being unable to enter and join the celebrations.
2. Choose a colour that flatters your skin tone.
Not everyone will look good in shades of fuchsia and gold. But, if you have a warm skin tone, you can definitely pull these colours off. Those with cool skin tones will benefit from shades of blue and silver. If you are fortunate enough to have a neutral skin tone, then it's likely that any colour will complement your skin and look good on you.
If you have a dark skin tone, bold and bright colours like emerald green will complement your skin and make you stand out. Those with light skin tones can wear pastels like baby pink while those with medium-coloured skin tones look best in metallic like gold and earth colours like green and brown.
This is why it is important to be familiar with your skin tone so that you can choose colours that will make you look good. Once you've determined your skin tone, you can give multiple colours a try. Don't set your mind on just one colour; instead, make sure you try a variety of colours until you find the perfect shade.
3. Get to know your body!
There are different dress styles for different body types, and finding one that flatters your best areas will significantly help in your overall look. For example, if you are full-figured or plus-sized, wearing a knee-length, Empire-waist dress that accentuates your curves comes highly recommended. If you have broad and athletic shoulders, an A-line dress that features wide straps helps create a more proportionate appeal.
If you are petite, a short and feminine style is best for you. Go for slim-fitting gowns and asymmetrical hemlines; avoid long and full skirts that may overwhelm your silhouette. If you have a thin body and a rectangular shape, wear a fitted gown with a cinched waist to add the illusion of curves and dimensions.
If you have an hourglass body shape, you can almost always get away with wearing just about any style. But, you have to remember that your choice should make your top and bottom look proportional and that the style highlights your best asset, which is your waist.
4. Take time to shop and canvas for the perfect dress.
There are many shopping options, ranging from local boutiques to online dress shops. You can try the 2018 homecoming dresses at Peaches Boutique and choose from their numerous styles and designs. Knowing that this is a special occasion, you would like to also look and feel special at your homecoming dance so don't just settle for the first dress that catches your eye.
Finding the perfect homecoming dress can take a lot of time but once you have it, you'll definitely be counting down the days to your homecoming dance.

LDCs, MICs, G-77/China Ministerials Highlight South-South Cooperation
Ministers of developing countries met in several groupings on the sidelines of the 71st UN General Assembly (UNGA) to discuss development progress against international targets, highlighting the importance of support for South-South Cooperation, technology access and capacity building.
24 September 2016: Ministers of developing countries met in several groupings on the sidelines of the 71st UN General Assembly (UNGA) to discuss development progress against international targets, highlighting the importance of support for South-South Cooperation, technology access and capacity building.
On 23 September 2016, the 40th annual ministerial meeting of the Group of 77 and China (G-77/China) took place. UNGA President Peter Thomson commended the Group's leadership in formulating international agreements, in particular the Declaration on the Right to Development and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Thomson stressed that the 71st UNGA session aims to drive progress towards all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and noted opportunities in the October 2016 Habitat III conference in Quito, the November 2016 climate conference (UNFCCC COP 22) in Marrakesh, and the June 2017 conference on oceans, which he said will be "the game-changer" for restoring ocean health. Finally, Thomson stressed the value of South-South cooperation as the best expression of solidarity and interdependence among developing countries, and pledged to work closely with the incoming UN Secretary-General to ensure that he or she will put the interests of the world's developing countries at the heart of the UN's agenda.
On 24 September, at a ministerial meeting of the least developed countries (LDCs), UN Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson noted that the mid-term review of the Istanbul Programme of Action for LDCs (IPoA) in 2016 had highlighted gains in agriculture, human development and peacebuilding, but also showed the need for greater progress if the IPoA is to be fully achieved by the 2021 target. To this end, he urged donor countries to fulfill their commitment to allocate at least 0.2% of their gross national income (GNI) for official development assistance (ODA) to the LDCs. Emphasizing the importance of access to technology, he welcomed the forthcoming establishment of the UN Technology Bank for LDCs, which he said will be the first of the SDG targets to be fully achieved.
Also on 24 September, the first ministerial meeting of Middle Income Countries (MICs) took place. In opening remarks, Thomson acknowledged the great diversity of MICs, noting that they encompass the majority of the world's poor, as well as some of its most dynamic national economies. He emphasized the important role of MICs in achieving the 2030 Agenda, including through South-South and triangular cooperation that will share their development experiences with those of other developing countries. He called on the international community to empower MICs through greater access to policy advice, capacity building and technology, and for improving political coordination and support between the UN system and MICs, suggesting that the UNGA resolution on the Quadrennial Comprehensive Policy Review (QCPR) process, to be negotiated later in 2016, could further these discussions.

Q: MySQL AFTER INSERT Trigger "Unknown Column" I have researched the issue and it usually relates to the column names not matching up. I've checked and re-checked my column names to make sure they match up. I can't figure out why it's complaining. Maybe all I need is a 2nd pair of eyes, or a long lunch-break?
Tables:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `User`;
CREATE TABLE `User` (
  `ID` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

  `isFlagged` bit(1) DEFAULT NULL,

  CONSTRAINT `User_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`userType`) REFERENCES `UserType` (`userType`)  ON UPDATE CASCADE
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `User_Project`;
CREATE TABLE `User_Project` (

Trigger:
 DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS ins_Project;
 CREATE TRIGGER ins_Project AFTER INSERT ON `Project`
 FOR EACH ROW
 BEGIN
  SET NEW.lastUpdate = NOW();
  INSERT IGNORE INTO User_Project(projectID,userID,joinDate) VALUES (NEW.ID,NEW.userID,NOW());
 END;

Error:
ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 'NEW.ID' in 'field list'

A: I am not 100% positive on this, because the documentation doesn't really get into this, but I think you are only intended to use
SET NEW.lastUpdate = NOW();

or similar SET to set a field value for the insert row in a BEFORE trigger.
Try splitting that part out into a BEFORE INSERT trigger and see if it works. Perhaps in an after trigger context, calling SET on a record field like that updates the row and loses the record pointer causing your error.
I say this because the MySQL documentation only explicitly states that you can SET a row value during a before trigger.  Check this quote from the documentation:

In a BEFORE trigger, you can also change its value with SET NEW.col_name = value if you have the UPDATE privilege for it. This means you can use a trigger to modify the values to be inserted into a new row or that are used to update a row.
