The story behind Skuba - the Folkestone restaurant customers are raving about
The new owners tell us what they have achieved in their first year and their exciting plans for the future
Matthew DevonportCommercial Editor
The extremely-popular Seafood Spaghetti topped with a cod fillet - £9 on the Skuba bar and bistro menu
Ask Folkestonians about Skuba and the first thing that comes to mind is dancing the night away on a Friday and Saturday or singing on the karaoke on a Wednesday. But Skuba is so much more.
Thanks to the hard work and dedication of its new owners Jon, his daughter Kimberley, her partner Jack and all the staff the venue has undergone a huge revamp with more planned changes on the way.
Over the past year they have redesigned the bar area inside and out, made changes to the terrace area to create a lounging space and redesigned the garden.
Gone are the Marilyn Monroe pictures, the uncomfortable bar stools, the grey tables, hard chairs and the confused garish red and dull grey colour scheme. In its place is an aquatic-themed space with a very cool feel about it.
Why did they decide to buy Skuba?

Jon said: "I had been involved in another hospitality business in Folkestone for 15 years. When I found out that Skuba was available, we jumped at the chance.
"Kimberley and Jack were looking for an opportunity that would make the most of their skills to enable them to build a successful business and I was keen to help.
The seven simple bits of DIY every person under 30 needs to know
"We took over Skuba last July and it was clear that the bar was in desperate need of renovating. We wasted no time in getting started.
"Our enviable position on the Leas makes us a perfect oasis for people enjoying the promenade and looking for a spot to have a drink, perhaps a bite to eat and take in the views over the channel.
"I believe that Folkestone has a bright future and the Leas is the jewel in its crown."
What changes have been made to Skuba?
Skuba has an aquatic-themed space with a very cool feel about it
Kimberley's experience in hospitality and Jack's experience as a fine dining chef working in top hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants in London means that they are well positioned to take advantage of Skuba's potential.
Kimberley said: "We wanted Skuba to be more than just a place to party on a Friday and Saturday night. The transformation has enabled us to develop the bar area for use as a bistro.
"This is in addition to the garden and terrace being used as an alfresco dining venue in the warmer weather. As a result our kitchen is now open throughout the year."
Head chef Jack added: "We have been constantly working on the quality of the menu since we took over as well as upgrading the kitchen. We have introduced a number of new dishes and sharing platters that are proving popular and we now offer daily specials."
What about the food?
Pan fried Hake with Broccoli puree, Black Kale, Potato and Cockles finished with a White Wine Cream
Kimberley said: "We are passionate about fresh, quality food from local sources where possible. All our meat is sourced from a local butcher, our fresh seafood comes from a local supplier and our fruit and vegetables comes from a Kentish supplier.
"We also stock wines, beers, ciders and gins from local sources and all of our ice creams come from local Kent producer Solley's.
" Whilst our ingredients will be from the best available sources, we still believe that our prices will represent excellent value for money. We are aiming to provide this in a casual setting with a good ambiance.
"We want our customers to have an experience that won't be easily forgotten."
Does Skuba have a restaurant?
Vegan and gluten-free Choc Delice served with Mango sorbet is only £6
The owners have been planning to open the downstairs restaurant since they took over Skuba. The next steps of the refurbishment are focused on the restaurant. They are working away to have it ready to open in time for the festive season.
Once Christmas and New Year are over, the restaurant will be launched with an expanded menu that includes the items on the Winter Evening Menu that is currently available in the bar. You can view the menu here.

There will be an emphasis on seafood due to Skuba's proximity to the sea with all of the dishes being of fine dining quality on the restaurant menu. Although the restaurant will be in a more formal setting than the bar/bistro - the prices will still be affordable.
A wide variety of spirits, wines, beers, ciders and soft drinks available in the bar. Skuba has already introduced an extensive cocktail menu with 2-for-1 cocktails every evening between 8 and 10pm.
What about Christmas?
Chargrilled Pumpkin and Potato Gnocchi is offered as a main course on Skuba's festive menu
Skuba's festive menu is available on Friday and Saturday evenings from November 29 to December 21. Cocktails are served in the Skuba bar followed by a festive meal in the downstairs restaurant. After your meal you can dance the night away with music supplied by their resident DJ.
There is a seven-course banquet available featuring a Cocktail, Amuse Bouche, Starter, Main, Dessert, Cheeseboard & Port, Tea/Coffee with Petit Fours - for £45 per person.
Inside the modern Birchington apartments which are just a five minute walk to the beach
Alternatively a smaller four-course meal is available featuring a Starter, Main, Dessert and Tea/Coffee with Petit Fours - for just £25 per person. Find out more here.
In addition this year Skuba will also be open on Christmas Day for lunch serving a four course meal. Find out more here.
What other food does Skuba offer?
The Homemade Cod Fish Finger Ciabatta at Skuba costs only £7
Bistro food is available in the bar area six days a week. Skuba offers a range of dishes and daily specials including:
All-day breakfasts
Skuba's bar area has been redesigned inside and out
UberEats is now available for the home delivery of all items on the menu - including Skuba's popular Gourmet Burger Tuesday. A handmade burger and chunky chips is just £5 and £3 buys you a pint or a large glass of wine to go with it.
There are four burgers to choose from:
Cajun Chicken
Vegan "Pulled Pork" Jackfruit
Cod with a crispy Panko coating
Homemade beefburger with bacon and cheese
What have customers been saying about Skuba?
Skuba is described as 'an Oasis on the Leas'
Ian Broad, said: "Skuba is one of the finest venues this side of the English Channel. The ingredients are fresh, the presentation is impeccable and the atmosphere is unrivalled. A perfect venue for any gathering."
Another, Rob Allinson, added: "Lunch at the Skuba is the perfect way to start the weekend. It's hearty, delicious and always served with a smile. There's also an excellent selection of cocktails - at very competitive prices."

Visitor Simon Tepper was also impressed. He said: "We hosted my daughter's university graduation at Skuba and it went off without a hitch. There was an excellent variety of dishes and the portions were generous and delicious. The servers were patient and very professional. Highly recommend."

On Saturday, December 3rd, Miguel Angel "Junito" Cotto will be battling Antonio "The Express Train" Margarito for the WBA Super World Light Middleweight Championship at Madison Square Garden in New York.
If you were looking to throw some money down on the fight, you came to the right place.
As far as main event boxing odds go, this is a pretty close matchup (especially when compared to Pacquiao and Mayweather fights).
The Over/Under line is currently set at 10 1/2, with the Over going for -140 and the Under going for EVEN. This means that Las Vegas oddsmakers believe that the fight stands a great chance of going the distance. If you take the Over, then you would need to put down $140 in order to win $100 back.
Miguel Angel Cotto currently has a lifetime record of 36-2-0. Cotto's two losses came at the hands of Margarito (TKO loss in 2008) and Manny Pacquiao (TKO loss). Cotto's last fight was a TKO victory over Ricardo Mayorga in March of 2011.
The controversial Antonio Margarito currently has a professional record of 38-7-1. Margarito has lost 2 out of his last 3 fights, including a decision loss to Manny Pacquiao in November of 2010 and a TKO loss to Shane Mosley in January of 2009.
Margarito is likely best known for having tampered with his gloves before his match with Shane Mosley. The CSAC found that Margarito's hand wraps contained sulphur and calcium, which, when combined with oxygen, forms Plaster of Paris.
After a number of completely lopsided big money fights, boxing is finally getting a high profile match-up that is actually pretty close on paper.
Can Cotto avenge his 2008 loss to Margarito? We'll soon find out.

There's one gleaming positive that the Flyers can take from their 2020 playoff run
By Liam Jenkins Posted on September 6, 2020
A crushing 4-0 defeat was not how the Flyers or their die-hard fans hoped this playoff series would end, especially after such a thrilling win just two days beforehand. There's naturally a lot of frustration, unrest, and hunger in the air right now as all eyes turn to the offseason in hopes of forgetting the that egg was laid last night. But if there's one positive that should be taken from the bubble experience, it's the coming of age of star goalie Carter Hart.
Hart became the youngest goalie to have played in more than 20 games, this year. Philadelphia's franchise goalie rallied to a .914 save percentage in his first full season, ranking 10th overall in wins, while his sensational 20-3-2 record at home helped drive the Flyers into the postseason with a real sense of purpose, but his road-record and age naturally raised some concerns.
At just 22-years-old, Hart would be the last line of defense for a Flyers team that have not only been starved of a Stanley Cup for 55 years, but of a strong playoff run. His spider-like reflexes would not only be called upon, but relied upon as he faced some of his greatest inspirations and tried to make the leap from wonderkid to star.
The future is bright for the Flyers
Should we really be shocked that Hart propelled himself into the history books throughout this fourteen game run? In a month where the Flyers struggled to find the complete package, Hart was largely the team's most dependable player outside of a few blips.
With an impressive 27-save outing against the Canadiens capping consecutive wins in the play-in matchups, Hart became the seventh goaltender in NHL history to win his first three playoff games before the age of 22 (by one day, talk about clutch!).
If that wasn't enough, his stunning 49-save outing against the Islanders in game 6 ranked fifth in franchise history for saves by a goaltender in the playoffs.
In 14 total games, Hart rallied to a 9-5 record, picking up a pair of shutouts in the process. He ranked 3rd among goalies who played in 10+ games in save percentage (.926%) and 5th in GAA (2.23).
Hart may have wobbled slightly in games 4 and 7 against the Isles, but that shoudn't put a dent in the extremely impressive postseason resume he was putting together. He isn't superman. If the Flyers can't take advantage of powerplays or find production from their stars, they're going to have a lower ceiling regardless of how long Hart keeps them kicking and screaming.
At just 22-years-old, Hart did what a lot of people worried he'd be unable to after his 4-10 road record in 2020. He not only performed well on neutral ice against some of the best the NHL had to offer but proved he's rapidly emerging as one of the brightest young stars in the league. If there is ever a positive to take from these playoffs, it's that Hart is now battle-tested in the postseason. Next time the Flyers make it into the playoffs, they can sleep soundly knowing that they have Carter Hart between the pipes who looks like he's only going to get better with more experience.

I have used cooking techniques, shopping strategies and nutrition concepts to help people regain a modicum of control over their day to day lives. Over the past twenty years of doing this as the Nutrition Magician® I also discovered the incredible power of meal-time to break down communication barriers, increase a sense of community, encourage team work and build bonds between co-workers and more deeply develop a the sense of family.
My first inklings of the trans-formative nature of meal-time came while managing a senior center serving one of the poorest populations in Portland, OR. I would watch frail and reclusive seniors find energy from the nutrition provided through daily meals but often, and sometimes more importantly, would see broken spirits enlivened, clouded minds become lucid and tired bodies become active participating members of the community. Their transformation transformed me too.
Over time my meat/dairy based culinary school training has given way to a whole-food plant-based diet (WFPBD) providing the foundation for physical and social change through meal-times; what I call the intersection of hearth and heart. First, watching Forks Over Knives (available on NetFlix) then reading The China Study provided basis for my paradigm shift. I look forward to finding, experiencing and sharing new discoveries.

Q: How do you undo floating mode for the logcat window in Android Studio While fiddling with the layout in Android Studio I somehow turned my logcat window into a floating window. I cannot for the life of me restore it to docked mode.

I would prefer to not have to rebuild the project from scratch, but cannot find anything obvious in .idea/workspace.xml.

A: To sum up the Dave Cole's answer: all you need to do is:

*

*Open the Android Studio directory.

*Find the file .config/options/runner.layout.xml, open it with some text editor.

*Find the following piece of code:
<ViewImpl>
    <option name="ID" value="Android Logcat" />
    <option name="minimizedInGrid" value="false" />
    <option name="placeInGrid" value="right" />
    <option name="tabIndex" value="0" />
    <option name="window" value="1" />
</ViewImpl>

*And change the "window" option's value to 0: <option name="window" value="0" />.
Save the file, now your logcat window is in docked mode.

A: Mac OS X answer
Seems the OP is running into this issue on some flavor on Linux. For people with OS X, see this answer.
Option 1
If you select the little cog icon at the top right of the floating window, and deselect floating mode, it should pop back to pinned mode:

Option 2
If you don't see the little cog, you can also make sure that the floating logcat window is selected, and then go to Window-> Active Tool Window-> Floating Mode

A: You can drag and drop it back.
But you need to be dragging the Tab, not the whole window.
I fought with it for 3 days before figuring it out :)

A: I just realised that the settings controlling the window layout are not stored in the project because the layout was broken for all projects.  I was able to fix the problem by doing this:
$ cd ~/.AndroidStudio/config
$ grep -r ddms
$ vi options/runner.layout.xml

Then I modified the Logcat configuration to look like this:
  <ViewImpl>
    <option name="ID" value="Android Logcat" />
    <option name="minimizedInGrid" value="false" />
    <option name="placeInGrid" value="right" />
    <option name="tabIndex" value="0" />
    <option name="window" value="0" />
  </ViewImpl>

The important change was the window option.

A: The simplest way is to press Shift + F12. It will restore your view to the Android Studio default view. Or go to Window -> Reset to default.

A: When floating mode is selected (checked), the docking mode and pinned mode options disappear. simply uncheck the docking mode by right clicking on the logcat tab and click on floating mode and the logcat state will be back to docking mode.

A: After reading the top rated answers above it  still couldn't resolve the issue. Turns out is was a project specific setting. I fixed it by modifying my project's workspace.xml file located in my project's .idea folder. In that file look for the element
<component name="ToolWindowManager">

Under that will be the node:
<window_info id="Logcat"

change the type of that node from FLOATING to DOCKED

A: The simplest way is to delete the runner.layout.xml file under your personal androidstudio config folder (.AndroidStudio\config\options), if you don't need to remain a special IDE layout setting.

A: I was facing the same issue and this is how I resolved it:
Simply click on the corner of the icon of logcat (Android-like icon at the top-left corner) and then drag to where you want to place it.

A: Right click on Android Monitor tab, select pinned mode and docked mode. Unselect other modes. My runner.layout.xml file was showing window value 0, so i tried this method it solved my problem.

A: Click on the Settings icon on the top right of the Terminal Window, from the drop-down select Split Mode, Pinned Mode, Dock Mode. This will pin it to the bottom window. Unselect Split Mode if you want it grouped with the other bottom windows.

A: select window
Select Default layout or press  Shift + F12
It fixes the logcat window at the bottom.

Lidar Network Observations of Cirrus Morphological and Scattering Properties during the International Cirrus Experiment 1989: The 18 October 1989 Case Study and Statistical Analysis
Albert Ansmann, Jens Bösenberg, Gérard Brogniez, Salem Elouragini, Pierre H. Flamant, Karlheinz Klapheck, Holger Linn, Louis Menenger, Walfried Michaelis, Maren Riebesell, Christoph Senff, Pierre-Yves Thro, Ulla Wandinger, and Claus Weitkamp
Four lidars located roughly 75 km from each other in the inner German Bight of the North Sea, were used to measure geometrical and optical properties of cirrus clouds during the International Cirrus Experiment 1989 (ICE '89). A complete cirrus life cycle was observed simultaneously with three lidan during a case study on 18 October 1989. Time series of particle backscatter, depolarization-ratio height profiles, cloud depth, optical thickness, and of the cirrus extinction-to-backscatter, or lidar, ratio describe the evolution of the cloud system. A two-wavelength lidar measurement was performed and indicates wavelength independence of ice-crystal scattering. The optical and geometrical depths of the cirrus were well correlated and varied between 0.01 and 0.5 and 100 m and 4.5 km, respectively. Although the evolution of the cloud deck was similar over the different observation sites, cirrus geometrical, scattering, and microphysical properties were found to vary considerably within the lidar network. A statistical analysis of ice-cloud properties is performed based on 38 different cirrus cases sampled during ICE '89. Cirrus formation was found to start at the tropopause in most cases. Ice clouds, measured at high midlatitudes (around 54°N), were thin with mean optical and geometrical depths mainly below 0.4 and 2 km, respectively. A good correlation between mean cloud optical and geometrical thickness, and a weak decrease of the mean optical depths with temperature was observed.

As the clean up continues from the weekend's storm and flood damage, Sunshine Coast Council is urging locals to do the right thing when disposing of waste.
Local Disaster Coordinator Alan Rogers said skip bins were located outside the Majestic Theatre in Factory Street and Rifle Road in Pomona while additional bins were stationed in Daintree Way, Tewantin.
"Council has delivered skip bins to the hardest hit areas to help residents start to clean up and dispose of debris and flood damaged items," he said.
"While it's a difficult time for many flood affected residents, we urge everyone who's cleaning up to please do the right thing and put their waste in the appropriate places."
Mr Rogers said could also dispose of any storm generated green waste and debris free of charge at the Pomona and the Cooroy Transfer station, which is now open again.
"The Pomona transfer station is located on the corner of Louis Bazzo Drive and Pomona Kin Kin Road in Pomona and the Cooroy Transfer Station is located on Mary River Road," he said.
"Both stations are currently operating on extended opening hours from 8am to 5pm."
Council's website and Facebook site is being updated regularly with information about road closures. You can also follow council on Twitter at @CouncilSCC for updates.

PETALING JAYA (March 13): The average cost of rental for expatriates in Kuala Lumpur has seen an increase in 2018 after a sustained decline between 2015 and 2017, according to international research house ECA International in a press release today.
Nevertheless, Kuala Lumpur is still very affordable for a major city in the region, he added.
"Reductions in the population of non-residents in Singapore, a key driver of rental demand, has led to continued drops in rental prices for expatriates. On top of that, recent announcements in the Singapore Budget 2019 have further limited the proportion of foreign workers that companies in the services sector can employ, to 35% by 2021. This seems to imply that the downward trend in rents will continue, as the availability of properties increases with little anticipated rise in demand," Quone noted.
"Rent increases are not just limited to central Hong Kong anymore either; rents are expected to rise throughout outlying neighbourhoods in 2019 too, as international firms seek more affordable office spaces and leverage options in cheaper suburbs," Quone highlighted.
"With both the 2019 Rugby World Cup and the 2020 Olympics set to be hosted in Tokyo, we have observed a major surge in business interest in Japan's capital. All of these factors will contribute to the increasingly limited availability of suitable rental accommodation in Tokyo, with rent increases expected to continue into 2019," Quone pointed out.
"This has led to a reduction in the availability of rental accommodation, prompting some rent increases," said Quone.


How to park my telescope in AudeLA ?
Answer: You need first to define what will be your azimuth (Az) and elevation (Elev) parking coordinates.
If you select the South meridian on horizon: AZ=0 et ELEV=0.
Then you have to convert your coordinate in equatorial (RA,DEC).
You can choose your coordinates az, elev based on your own mount and/or dome constraints.

This article originally appeared in Tax Notes on July 30, 2018.
But the fiscal outlook has deteriorated significantly more than the comparison of 2027 debt-to-GDP figures suggests.
First, in terms of the government's underlying fiscal stance, a strong economy makes the projections of large deficits more worrisome. The CBO projects that cumulative actual and potential GDP will be equal, on average, over the 2018-2028 period. The strong economic performance is in large part attributable to the implementation of the 2017 tax legislation and the resulting fiscal stimulus. But it also means that the higher projected deficits and debt are essentially full-employment deficits. If the economy falls into recession, the medium-term fiscal outlook is likely to look significantly worse.
Second, under a "current policy" scenario, the problem is considerably larger, as the CBO acknowledges. Whereas current-law projections examine the impact of Congress essentially making no further changes over the projection period, current-policy projections estimate the impact of what might be termed business-as-usual assumptions regarding tax and spending choices—in particular, that policymakers routinely extend temporary provisions.2 Under current law, the CBO projects a debt-to-GDP ratio of 96.2 percent by 2028.3 Under current policy, we project a debt-to-GDP ratio of 106.3 percent in that year, which would be the highest ratio in U.S. history, just surpassing the previous high from 1946, right after the close of World War II.
Third, the situation only gets worse after 2028. The fiscal gap measures the tax and spending changes needed to bring the debt-to-GDP ratio to a specified level in a specified year. For example, under current policy, we find that to ensure the debt-to-GDP ratio 30 years from now does not exceed the current level would require a combination of immediate and permanent spending cuts or tax increases totaling 4.2 percent of GDP. This represents about a 22 percent cut in noninterest spending or a 25 percent increase in tax revenue relative to current levels. To put this in perspective, the 2017 tax cuts and 2018 spending bill will raise the deficit by less than 2 percent of GDP in 2018. The required adjustments to keep debt at its current ratio to GDP in 2048 are more than twice as big and in the opposite direction. The longer policymakers wait to institute changes, the larger those adjustments would have to be to hit a given debt target in a given year. Projecting beyond 2048 also worsens the picture because the fiscal outlook under current policy continues to deteriorate after that date.
Sustained federal deficits and rising federal debt, used to finance consumption or transfer payments, will crowd out future investment; reduce prospects for economic growth; make it more difficult to conduct routine policy, address major new priorities, or deal with the next recession or emergencies; and impose substantial burdens on future generations. The nation's debt-to-GDP ratio rose by about 35 percentage points during and in the aftermath of the most recent recession. It is hard to believe that policymakers or financial markets would look kindly on the United States' needing to borrow another 35 percent of GDP when the next recession hits.
The CBO's current-law projections assume that some actions are taken: the debt ceiling is raised, existing programs are reauthorized, and Social Security and Medicare programs pay scheduled benefits—even if their respective trust funds are depleted.

New Release – Breathe Out Grace by Eleanor Collides
todayJanuary 9, 2023 102 6
Eleanor Collides (UK) is the solo project of singer, songwriter and guitarist Nick Ranga. Eleanor Collides combines several disparate influences into a unique blend of dreamy indie rock. Named after Nick's childhood imaginary friend, Eleanor Collides started life as a lockdown project in March of 2021. After writing songs for many years Nick finally decided to record them and Eleanor Collides was born!
His new single 'Breathe Out Grace' will be out 13th January.
"It is a song about forgiveness, about making peace with who you are. It is an anthem for the hopeless, a prayer for the left behind. As with a lot of my music there is a positive message hidden beneath a dreamy melancholy atmosphere. For me that message is what makes you different is not a weakness, it is a strength and it should be celebrated."
"With this song I'm exploring certain slowcore influences, artists like Low, Mazzy Star and Grouper. My approach with this song was to strip away everything that was not needed and get to the bare essentials of the song. I was fascinated by the cavernous spaces in Low's album 'I Could Live in Hope' and I tried to capture some of that feeling."
"The artwork is one of my photographs, taken in Lyme Regis in the UK. I've been experimenting with film photography recently and this is one of the better ones. I really like the hot pink border and lettering against the black and white grainy image."
"As with all my music it is a completely self-produced effort. Many will say you should hand over your music to someone else to mix and master, but I love the creative freedom I get from being able to handle the entire process myself. It was recorded, mixed and mastered at home in my flat in London."

Thanks to Gov. Gina M. Raimondo and the General Assembly, Rhode Island has just become fairer to property owners and home purchasers.
Legislation signed into law July 6 effectively prevents municipalities from artificially increasing the size of a lot required for development, which also increases the costs of new houses.
The law requires that municipalities include wetland buffer areas in the calculation of minimum lot area and the number of units or lots for development on a particular property.
Currently, approximately half of Rhode Island's cities and towns exclude such wetland buffers from the density calculation, which means it takes more land to make a buildable house lot, which adds additional costs to the purchase price of a new house.
Consider as an example a 10-acre parcel that contains 3 acres of wetlands and 2 acres of buffer area. If the minimum lot size is three-quarters of an acre, and you assume you need one-quarter of an acre per lot for roadways and infrastructure, the 10-acre parcel would support only five house lots, if the wetlands buffer was excluded from the calculation of minimum lot area. With the passage of this legislation, based on this example the parcel would now support seven house lots, since the 2-acre wetlands buffer area would be included in the density calculation.
Opponents of the legislation say it increases housing density, which threatens wetlands. Yet, the legislation specifically provides that it does not change the statutory definition of a buildable lot, and does not allow the disturbance of wetlands or wetland buffers. And it does not pertain to buffers protecting reservoirs.
So what is the real objection, and why do half of the municipalities artificially restrict density of development through wetlands buffers? While you will hear concerns such as protecting the rural character of the area or protecting fragile wetlands, what may also be at play is the desire to restrict development to limit the impact on schools and thus, municipal costs.
If that is in fact the case, given that these density restrictions increase the cost of housing, and thus hurt consumers, perhaps the better approach is to focus on the problem and address school costs through other measures.

Sergei Yutkevich
First recorded as a precocious teenager in Kharkov, studying at the Steinberg art studio – where attention focused on Gauguin, Van Gogh and Cézanne – and meeting Velimir Khlebnikov. He then moved to Kiev, where Exter and Adolf Milman (a former member of the Jack Of Diamonds) fostered his interest in Cubism. Helped Tyshler, Shifrin and Petritsky with designs for Kiev's 1919 May Day celebrations before working as an actor in Kiev and Sevastopol. After the Civil War relocated to Moscow to study under Meyerhold, issuing a manifesto entitled Eccentricity and launching the theoretical platform FEKS ('Factory of the Eccentric Actor'). In 1926 launched his own 'cinema collective' and, from 1928-38, was head of the first cinema workshop at Lenfilm. From 1939-46 directed the Song & Dance Ensemble of the NKVD (future KGB), before resuming his career in cinema to stunning effect – twice earning the Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival (for Othello in 1956 and Lenin in Poland in 1966). One of his last films was the animated cartoon classic Mayakovsky Laughs in 1975.

Q: How to handle multiple dropboxes of the same name? I am trying to have a series of dropboxes in my code, the number of dropboxes will be decided in a loop. Each dropbox reflects a different day, and each option in a dropbox a different time.
Only one of these times should be selectable by the user so that it can be passed on.
So my HTML will look as follows :
<form id="form" name="form" method="post" action="confirmation.cshtml">
   <select name="start_to_end_time" class="start_to_end_time">
      <option value="1">1</option>
      <option value="2">2</option>
   </select>

   <select name="start_to_end_time" class="start_to_end_time">
      <option value="3">3</option>
      <option value="4">4</option>
   </select>

   <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

With a changeable number of  tags. What is my best way to handle and validate this? I have tried doing so using JavaScript, and disabling all other days when one day is selected, this has resulted in errors however. Can anyone give me some help with this please?

A: I choose to go a different route. I choose to add a class to the select list that I'm working on, and hide the others. Then I choose to capture the form submit, and monitor the amount of  objects that are held in our form at the time of post. if the # of objects is greater or less than 1, then I choose to provide an alert telling them to work with the form; else, if the length is equal to 1, process the form. I also commented out an example ajax request showing how to transfer the data to your controller. I think this is what you wanted to do -- or something along these lines? I could be wrong, and If I am, I stand corrected!

http://jsfiddle.net/y6zLQ/4/

for long term purpsoes
$(function(){
  $("select").on('click', function(){
    //add a unique class identifier
    $(this).addClass('working');
    $("select:not('.working')").hide(100);
  });
  $("#form").submit(function(e){
    e.preventDefault(); // stop default form submission
    var visLength = $("select:visible").length; //how many select fields are visible?
    if(visLength > 1 || visLength < 1){//if we have more/less than 1 visible field.
      alert('Please choose a value from the lists provided.');
    }else if(visLength == 1){//we only have one field, proceed.
      var visValue = $("select:visible").val();
      alert(visValue);
     // $.ajax({
     //     url: 'confirmation.cshtml'
     //     data: 'selectVal='+visValue,
     //     success: function(data){
     //       //do something with our returned data.
     //       $("#someElement").html(data);
     //       //or don't. Perhaps you want to change the page.
     //       window.location = 'mywebsite.com/newlocation';
     //     }
     // });
    }
  });
  //build a reset function so they can choose a different date.
  $("#reset").click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault(); // stop default form submission
    $("select").removeClass('working'); //remove unique class identifier
    $("select").show(100); //show other selec tlists
  });
});


Overqualified for a Job? Don't Waste Your Education & Experience.
Now that you're thinking about changing careers and doing something more meaningful with this next phase of your life, you might be worried that all of your years of education and experience are going to go to waste and that you'll be way overqualified for any job you apply for.
Maybe one of the things that holds you back from actually making the move is the idea that after all your hard work and achievements, in order to find meaningful work you'll have to be doing something so low-level you'll feel you've gotten a huge demotion. And even though it's exciting to think about doing something more meaningful than selling or marketing another widget, it doesn't feel as soul-filling as you'd like because you're not using your true talents and gifts.
Of course, the trick to changing careers without wasting all of your hard earned skills is to know where you want to make an impact in the world, and how your skill set can best be put to use doing that.
Don't doubt that you've been honed and polished by life to be perfect for whatever impact you're supposed to make in the world. If what's next for you is to hand out water at a disaster site or sweep out stalls, there's no shame in that. That's good work and it all needs to get done. But you have gone through years of education and have gotten years of experience, and if what you're afraid of is giving that up just know that it's not necessary.
Ask yourself, what impact would you like to make on the world?
What skills or experience do you have already that could best help that cause?
For example, I recently had a client who was an amazing consultant at a top firm. She took her organizational, project, people, and many other skills and brought them to a high level position at a non-profit organization that is doing work that she believes is fundamental to making real change in the world.
She didn't leave behind her skills, education, experience, or even her salary to make a difference. She took it all with her, made a transition and is now she's doing what she loves, making an impact and using every bit of what she's earned.
She found something she loved and wasn't overqualified for the job at all. She fit right in.
How do your highest skills and experiences inform your highest callings?
What's the perfect intersection of what you're trained to do and what you'd love to do?
What if, unlike my incredible client, you're unable to make such a clean transition from what you're doing into what you want to do?
Or what if, like so many of my clients, you still have only a vague sense of what it is that you want to do, but no real idea about it – and still less of an idea of what skills or experiences might enhance the endeavor?
If that's the case, you'll have to think about what it is that you truly want.
I recognize that taking on that one statement might take you months or years to fully tackle, but when you actually know what you want, you may be able to find that perfect intersection still.
Even if it seems there are no similarities between what you've been doing and what you want to do, trust that you'll still be bringing your education and experience to what you're doing next, even if you don't bring it into your work as cleanly as my client was able to.
You won't forget everything you know, and the fact that you're trying something new and bringing all of you into your new work situation means that you'll be bringing something novel to the situation. That means you'll have a chance to see your situation in a new way, and be the one to bring fresh ideas and insights to work that might be in dire need of innovation from someone passionate about making improvements.
Changing careers may be in your future – but know that you don't have to give up your hard-earned years of education and experience if you're changing fields, and you don't have to end up feeling way overqualified for your job. There may be a powerful intersection of your skills and your new field, or there may simply be a way in which you see your new field from the perspective of someone who already has earned her stripes.
Jessica…so thankful for your words hit in the heart!!
When I read "you still have only a vague sense of what it is that you want to do, but no real idea about it – and still less of an idea of what skills or experiences might enhance the endeavor?" This is me!! and I am willing to find my right impact in life.
I have not understood this "or there may simply be a way in which you see your new field from the perspective of someone who already has earned her stripes." What does it mean?
Hi Samer, I simply meant that having been around the block a time or two, your new field wouldn't appear the same way to you as it might to someone who was brand-new in the working world. Your experience will color your perspective of things, and that means you will have valuable wisdom to offer.
What do you think about leaving an established career in Finance to pursue Psychology, NLP and Hypnosis?
Hi Matthew! Well, it's hard to say . . . I like to think of myself as the Queen of Balance – between following your dreams and being practical. So while it sounds like it would be amazingly fun, I don't know anything about the other side of things – the risks you face, your fears, etc. If you'd really like to explore this question, it's perfect for the kind of coaching I do. Get in touch with me at jessica at wishingwellcoach dot com!
I think there's also a time where we have to literally give up everything to pursue our passion. There are people who are doing work that doesn't require a single bit of the education that they went through. And I'm glad they didn't have to force themselves to make some use of it just for sake of doing so.
Because ultimately, as Steve Jobs says, "the only way to do great work is to love what you do." Man, I just said that line in the comments of another blog, haha.
Yes, sometimes the formal education doesn't play a role. Sometimes. Like I'm thinking of someone I talked to who was a very specialized scientist who wanted to pursue a career in writing. Maybe nothing to do with each other, ever.
But those skills and experiences may still inform (in a helpful way) what you do next. You're never really starting from square one – or you don't have to be.
But if your heart pulls you in a completely different direction and it's just fear that's hanging on to the years you've put in to your education and experience, then you're right – it's time to let go. You just have to be able to decipher when to salvage those years, when to transform them, and when to let them go. . . .
It's one of those conundrums Jessica. Oftentimes people have to leave or are let go, or something untoward occurs and it turns out to be the most wonderful thing that happened to them. Change is always inevitable and when seen as a choice, that mindset can elevate the mundane into the miraculous. I love what Martine has to say about her leap of faith, because often we dither around on the edges when all the wonders of the world await us on the other side.
Beautifully put, Elle! It reminds us to embrace change, even when we don't know where it's taking us – and most of the time we don't!
Jessica, So many of my skills went unused in the mainstream workplace. Finally I can write and speak about things I care about and share with the world. I'm so glad I took the leap!
So amazing, Martine! We're so glad too! Thank you!!

Idaho health officials say COVID-19 is here to stay. What does that mean?
They believe the endemic coronavirus will eventually become easier to deal with.

Just like influenza, the virus that causes COVID-19 is here to stay.
An official from one of Idaho's largest hospitals on Tuesday said that COVID-19 is shifting from "pandemic" to "endemic," meaning it will continue to circulate.
Last year, Dr. Steven Nemerson, chief clinical officer for Saint Alphonsus Health System, thought the day that Idaho's COVID-19 vaccine rollout began last December would be "the D-Day in the battle against the coronavirus," he said during a media briefing Tuesday. "Sadly, I'm here to tell you that we've lost the war, that COVID is here to stay. And the reason it is here is because we cannot vaccinate enough people to fully eradicate the disease — and, absent being able to do that and accomplish herd immunity, we now need to move into the phase of recognizing that COVID can be a disease to be managed for the long-term future."
What does that mean? Does it mean that surges will continue to roll through Idaho? Nemerson and Idaho's chief epidemiologist said they're not sure, but they can make some educated guesses.
"What we don't know is what strains will emerge, as people continue to be unvaccinated and the disease continues to spread," Nemerson said. "What we do know is that we expect to see surges periodically … and hopefully they won't be as severe, because at least 50% of the public will be fully vaccinated."
About 42.5% of Idaho's population is fully vaccinated, as of Oct. 13, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That is out of Idaho's total population, which includes children who cannot yet be vaccinated. Among those who can be vaccinated — Idahoans age 12 and up — the rate is about 53.4%, according to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.
At least 3,157 Idahoans have died from COVID-19, and more than 11,000 have been hospitalized, according to the state health department. There have been at least 270,601 cases of COVID-19 in Idaho so far — widely believed to be an undercount.
The question still unanswered is whether new variants or new strains will be more contagious, more severe, more deadly.
"Medical history suggests that, like with the flu, the more severe surges like we're experiencing right now (will become) much, much less common," Nemerson said. "But, nevertheless, there are episodes, at least on an annual basis, that we'll have to deal with."
State Epidemiologist Dr. Christine Hahn said she hopes that, like other viruses have, the COVID-19 virus will become milder or better tolerated over time, "like some of the other seasonal coronaviruses are."
Whether it will continue to strain Idaho's health care system — or push it beyond capacity — will depend on many things, Hahn and Nemerson said.
If COVID-19 becomes a seasonal virus that peaks in the winter, she said, it will stack on top of existing winter respiratory viruses — influenza and RSV — that already send adults and children to the hospital each year.
Idaho remains in a statewide hospital crisis declaration, Idaho Health and Welfare Director Dave Jeppesen said during the Tuesday briefing. The crisis may have begun to abate in the Treasure Valley. Local hospital officials report that the rapidly escalated fourth surge of COVID-19 may be softening. However, as with previous surges, there are hot spots around the state as the virus pinballs around unvaccinated communities.
"For the first time in three months, we've finally seen a small decline in COVID spread in our communities. This is not universal across Idaho, and while we are seeing this and it creates significant hope that we may finally have reached a peak, there is no guarantee that we've reached that point, yet," Nemerson said. "Sadly, we continue to see a steady increase in ICU admissions and deaths, the vast majority of these, as we all know, are entirely preventable if only patients would become vaccinated."
Nemerson said the health system has ramped up its efforts to help frontline staff deal with seeing preventable deaths on every shift, and help them stay resilient as their patients and patients' families question their motives or threaten them.
His advice to the public: Keep following public health recommendations, including getting a vaccine when it's offered.
But his advice on living in an Idaho with endemic COVID-19 was, essentially, for people to change how they live.
"Be careful who you choose to socialize with," Nemerson said. "They should have the same belief that you do in protecting themselves. Establish social pause with those friends who trust. Socialize outside rather than indoors. … Frequent businesses that are COVID safe. Don't attend concerts and large events, whether they're indoors or outdoors, particularly those events where the enforcement of vaccination and masking is not present."
