Combine sandwiches and grassy lawns for one good picnic.
Staking out our picnic spot.
How we do like columns.
Every backyard should have this wash basin.
Then we could all take pictures like this.
Can you imagine throwing a party on this lawn?
Aw, thanks. Doesn't it look like such a cool place to throw a party? We could eat mini foods in the house and have lights over the lawn with swans.
The swans are a must!
Sobrina, Alan's eyes are so blue in the "nice sweater" picture! Wow!


Project Background: Due to heightened awareness of recent and significant problems associated with alcohol abuse at Clemson University, the president of Clemson University has declared an immediate need for more effective alcohol abuse prevention programs. We request support of the Rapid Response mechanism in developing innovative, theoretically grounded, controlled interventions combined with policy changes at the individual, campus, and community level to capitalize on expanding administrative commitment to reducing the impact of alcohol abuse. Specific Goals: (1) Use focus groups, interviews and surveys with first year students and student services data on alcohol problems among first year students to identify specific high-risk contexts and peer reference groups at Clemson University promoting alcohol abuse among first year students; (2) Incorporate data on specific high-risk drinking contexts and peer influences at Clemson into tailored, targeted brief motivational enhancement and alcohol skills training programs to improve resistance to identified high-risk campus and community drinking contexts and peer groups and ? reduce alcohol abuse and alcohol-related problems among first year students; (3) Evaluate program impact on patterns of alcohol use and abuse among first year students by comparing these program innovations to currently used alcohol programs, using quasi-experimental designs and employing quantitative and qualitative outcomes measures. Unique Contributions: The proposed innovation uses an ecological theoretical framework combined with a college student lifestyle model to focus the impact of motivational enhancement and alcohol skills training, creating context-based modules for each program addressing the specific high-risk social contexts and peer reference groups encountered by first year college students at Clemson University. Methodology: Use of established measurement scales, surveys, university and community data on alcohol abuse, and environmental scanning techniques to identify key high-risk contexts for alcohol abuse. Develop context-based intervention programs specifically tailored to Clemson University. Use of quasi-experimental designs to assess intervention impact at the individual, campus and community levels. Expected Results: Significant reduction in patterns of alcohol abuse and alcohol-related problems among Clemson first year ? students receiving the program innovation as compared to those students receiving current intervention ? programs. ? ?

Heritage Sites in 3D
The nonprofit group CyArk is using 3D scanning and other reality based technology to create virtual models of heritage sites around the world to protect them from war, ruin, and climate change impact.
The latest in 3D scanning technology is helping to preserve important heritage sites around the world. It's like the Cloud for history. Nonprofit group CyArk has already createdversions of over 100 ancient structures, ruins, and landscapes with plans for 400 more to preserve a version of them in case of "war, wear, and climate change impact." They say there's never going to be enough time or money to physically save these structures but they're doing the next best thing using laser-scanning and other reality-capture technology to build nearly-accurate virtual models of these locations that can be appreciated and studied for years to come. The destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan by terrorists inspired their work, which they claim is "not an option, it's a responsibility."

Tribal stances on gaming-fee increase contrast with past tax-increase position
In 2018, officials with the Chickasaw Nation, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, and Quapaw Tribe of Oklahoma were among those endorsing the "Step Up Oklahoma" plan, which ultimately resulted in legislation that sought nearly $600 million in annual tax increases, including increased taxes on Oklahoma drivers' purchases of fuel, additional taxes on employers in the energy industry, and higher tobacco taxes.
Now, less than two years removed from that debate, those same tribal entities are opposed to Gov. Kevin Stitt's call to renegotiate tribal gaming compacts and possibly increase the "exclusivity fee" paid by tribes, which acts as a de facto tax.
Where some see the two debates as entirely separate, others see a flagrant flip-flop.
"It goes back to that old saying: Don't tax me, don't tax thee, tax that fellow under the tree," said former state Rep. Jeff Coody of Grandfield, who served in the Legislature at the time of the Step Up debate. "Everybody wants everybody to contribute except when the finger turns to them and says, 'Okay. How about you?"
But one tribal official said the dispute is not primarily about proposed increases in exclusivity fees.
"The question of a rate increase is not what has provoked the strong opposition from Tribes across the State," Stephen Greetham, senior counsel of the Chickasaw Nation, said in a statement. "While no Tribe believes a rate increase is justifiable, our opposition stems from Governor Stitt's declaration of his intent to walk away from our agreement—an intergovernmental compact that includes far more than mere revenue-share rates and has served all parties well."
In a column that ran in the Tulsa World in July, Stitt called for renegotiating the state's gaming compacts with Oklahoma tribes. Those compacts, which expire at the end of the year, give the tribes the exclusive right to operate casinos in Oklahoma, aside from a handful of "racino" racetracks that also have slot machines. In exchange, the tribes pay the state a fee for that exclusivity. The fee tops out at 6 percent on slot machines.
In comparison, the state-local sales tax rate on a bottle of water in Oklahoma averages 8.94 percent. In other states, the tax rates on non-tribal casino operations are often between 20 and 40 percent, and several tribal gaming compacts in other states include exclusivity fees in the 20-percent range. According to one estimate, 44 percent of tribal gaming compacts nationwide involve fees of 10 percent or greater.
Stitt said Oklahoma tribes generate an estimated $4.5 billion in annual revenue from casino operations. Under the current compacts, Oklahoma state government received $138.6 million of that total through exclusivity payments in 2018, which amounts to about 3 percent of total revenue generated by casinos.
In response to Stitt's call for renegotiating the compacts, officials with 29 tribal governments in Oklahoma signed a letter saying they believe the compacts "automatically renew" on Jan. 1, 2020, and that "rates under the present Gaming Compact should not change."
Tribal officials argue that increased fee payments to the state may reduce tribal government spending on education, health care, and transportation projects, and that Oklahoma state government would ultimately have to increase spending in those areas to make up the difference.
"We are a sovereign tribal nation with a fiduciary responsibility to serve our citizens," Chief Gary Batton of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma said in a statement. "However, our values compel us to go above and beyond this responsibility to serve all people in southeastern Oklahoma. The Choctaw Nation supports public schools and partners with local communities to support roads, bridges, and many other infrastructure needs, as well as serving as the backbone of rural healthcare in southeastern Oklahoma. The businesses we operate have a positive economic impact and help support the regional economy, and we reinvest our profits into Oklahomans, not shareholders. Likewise, gaming exclusivity fees are not taxes. They were negotiated between two governments, and we have demonstrated for decades that our commitment and investment in Oklahoma goes well beyond exclusivity fee payments to the State of Oklahoma. We have been committed to terms of the compact, and are a proven partner to work collaboratively with the State of Oklahoma. The gaming compact has proven to be an effective way to serve Oklahomans."
The arguments tribal officials have put forth about their broader contributions to Oklahoma, and the potential problems that could be created by an increase in exclusivity fees, echo those put forth by officials in Oklahoma's energy industry during prior tax-increase debates.
The American Gaming Association has estimated that casinos support 75,000 jobs in Oklahoma and have an economic impact of nearly $10 billion in the state. While those are sizable figures, they don't exceed the numbers generated by Oklahoma's energy sector. A 2016 report by the State Chamber of Oklahoma Research Foundation showed that nearly 150,000 Oklahomans were either wage-and-salary workers or self-employed in the oil and gas sector, and that the associated $15.6 billion in household earnings accounted for 13.2 percent of total state earnings. The report found the oil and gas industry supported an estimated $65.7 billion in total state output.
Lawmakers still raised taxes on employers in the energy sector, and did so repeatedly, in recent years.
Critics also contend the economic-development arguments put forth by casino operators are fundamentally flawed because gambling is not comparable to any other business, including those subject to "sin taxes."
"If you order a beer or a glass of wine or even get a cigarette—while those things certainly have a lot of danger to them and I'm not defending those things—you still get a glass of wine back," said Les Bernal, national director of Stop Predatory Gambling, which opposes state promotion of gambling. "With commercialized gambling, it's a financial exchange. And it's a financial exchange that's mathematically rigged against you so that inevitably you're going to lose all your money. Success only comes at someone else's expense. That's why it's like no other commodity out there. It's like no other business, including other vices."
While other businesses produce something of value that has a multiplier effect in the economy, Bernal said that's not true of gambling.
"Commercialized gambling is milking existing wealth," Bernal said. "It's a sterile transfer of wealth. It's a naked money grab disguised as economic development."
Coody also says claims of the economic benefits created by Oklahoma casinos are more shell game than reality.
"They're not producing anything. They're not improving anything," Coody said. "All they're doing is redistributing income."
Former state Rep. Mike Turner of Edmond, who now serves as vice-chair of the Oklahoma Republican Party, says those who suggest tribes were only willing to tax others without stepping up in 2018 are wrong.
"Very few people remember that the tribes actually came to the Legislature last go around and said, "We're willing to pay more,'" said Turner, who stressed he was speaking as a private citizen and not as a state GOP official. "People forget about that, and most people don't know that."
That offer was made in exchange for the Legislature legalizing roulette tables at the casinos, he said.
Coody suggests the idea that altruism was the primary motive behind that offer is naïve.
"They're always looking to expand and the only way they're going to agree to give anything up is when they think they've got more to gain from the state allowing them some type of expansion of their games," Coody said.
Turner also said the governor's call to renegotiate the compacts will likely go nowhere because the "plain text" of the agreements says the compacts automatically renew unless both parties want to renegotiate. So long as the tribes decline to renegotiate, he said, the compacts renew as is.
"Every attorney that I've talked to says, 'Yeah, it rolls over,'" Turner said.
For Bernal, the debate over the exclusivity fee paid by Oklahoma tribes misses the big picture.
"It doesn't matter, whatever you tax it, it's a rip off for all citizens," Bernal said. "And so if the tax is 6 percent or 15 percent, it's still a loser for the people of Oklahoma. The guys that run the games, they're still going to win, regardless. To me, it's almost an irrelevant argument."


The rabid football fan is nothing new--show up at any Big Ten game day, let alone brave a slew of Green Bay Packers fans, and you're going to be in for some heavy shouting, extreme team loyalty, and if it's a crushing win or loss--buckets, and buckets of tears. What you may not know, is that this very fandom could kill you.
According to a study that tracked L.A. residents during 1980 and 1984--when L.A. made it into the gridiron grudge match--found that fans got so worked up over the game it affected their health. According to CNN's Matt McMillan, "in 1980, when the Pittsburgh Steelers staged a fourth-quarter comeback to beat the underdog L.A. Rams, "heart-related deaths shot up 15% among men and 27% among women in the subsequent two weeks, compared with the same period in 1981 through 1983." When L.A. bested the Washington Redskins in 1984, however, the opposite occurred: cardiac deaths actually dropped among Los Angelenos.
So what's the deal? Theories vary. According to one of the researchers, Dr. Richard Kloner, fans are bonded to their teams, and it takes a toll. "The team, in some ways, becomes like part of the family," he says, and "emotional stress stimulates the fight or flight response." However, cardiologist David Frid, who CNN's Matt McCillen notes was not part of the study, says the heart attacks may be more about what's served at the tailgate rather than the pummeling on the field, "one high-fat meal can cause your blood to be more likely to clot," he says.
The fan insanity may not be all that surprising (researchers found similar results during the 2006 World Cup). Here's a bit of cocktail conversation, though: the study found that the Superbowl affects the hearts of women as well as men--in fact, it affects women more.
For those determined to watch February 6 Super Bowl but are curious about calming down, there's always meditation.

England's third lockdown has triggered a 'crisis' in mental health
England's third national lockdown has caused an 'unprecedented' mental health crisis, experts warn
Experts have urged the Government to provide more funding for mental health
Charity Mind says its support pages are seeing surging visitor numbers
Dr Adrian James compared the pandemic's impact to the Second World War
England's third lockdown has sparked an 'unprecedented crisis' in mental health, top experts have warned.
Charities and politicians have urged No10 to provide much-needed funding to prop up services, and ensure all patients receive treatment.
Mind says its pandemic support page has seen its highest number of visitors since April — when the country was in the grips of the first wave.
And former Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt warned there is a 'real risk' self-isolation becomes a 'tipping point leading to an epidemic of severe mental illness'.
Experts claim the mental health crisis has been fuelled by the UK's huge death toll, mass unemployment caused by the lockdowns and the social effects of stay at home orders.
Last month leading psychiatrist Dr Adrian James warned Covid-19 could deliver the biggest hit to Briton's mental well-being since the Second World War.
And the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed in August around one in five Britons suffered either moderate or severe depressive symptoms in June 2020, almost double the level recorded the same time last year.
The pandemic is triggering an 'unprecedented crisis' in mental health, top experts warned today. (stock image)
10million people 'face mental health crisis in wake of Covid'
Up to 10million people could need mental health support in the wake of the pandemic, a report warned before Britain's second wave of coronavirus.
Experts said around 8.5million adults and 1.5million children in England will likely need help to deal with the fallout from coronavirus, including losing loved ones and jobs.
They will mostly need help for depression and anxiety, according to analysis from the Centre for Mental Health, which consulted experts from the NHS.
But others – including NHS workers – could develop conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), more commonly associated with service personnel following armed conflicts.
Mind's pandemic support page had as many as 9,580 views on January 4, the day Boris Johnson announced England's third shutdown, reports The Telegraph.
The following day this had risen to 14,167, the highest number in a single day since April 22, 2020, which was a month into the first lockdown.
The numbers remained high throughout last week, hitting 11,585 on Wednesday and 9,510 on Thursday.
Paul Farmer, the charity's chief executive, warned: 'It is no understatement to say that the nation is facing a "mental health pandemic".
'It is clear that our mental health is deteriorating across the board – from mild mental health problems right through to those reaching crisis point and even having to be hospitalised.'
Mr Hunt, the chair of the Health and Social Care Select Committee, told the newspaper: 'There is a danger of medicalising the general malaise and cabin fever felt by many people as a mental health issue.'
He added, however: 'There is a real risk that enforced isolation becomes a tipping point leading to an epidemic of severe mental illness.'
Calling for more action on mental health last month Dr James, who is president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, said that even when ministers manage to get the virus under control there will be 'profound' long-term consequences.
'It is probably the biggest hit to mental health since the Second World War,' he told The Guardian.
'It doesn't stop when the virus is under control and there are few people in hospital. You've got to fund the long-term consequences.'
Ex-Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has warned self-isolation may be a 'tipping point'
Mental health charity Mind described the situation by Christmas as a 'mental health emergency', adding that '2020 has been a year of anxiety and uncertainty and more people need us than ever before'.
The ONS published a study in August showing the rate of depression in Britain has doubled since the pandemic began.
They found 9.7 per cent of all adults had some sort of depression between July last year and this March.
But when the same group was assessed again in June, the figure had surged to 19.32 per cent – almost one in five. The data added young women were most affected by the virus and the Government's draconian lockdown measures.
At the time top experts warned of an emerging 'mental health crisis', and said the findings were 'deeply troubling'.
'This study tells us, yet again, that we might have a mental health crisis after this pandemic,' said Professor Dame Til Wykes, clinical psychology and rehabilitation at the Institute of Psychiatry Psychology & Neuroscience, King's College London (IoPPN).
She added: 'The social effects of distancing and isolation for some affects their emotional wellbeing.
'We can all understand that dealing with tough circumstances like financial stress and unemployment, as well as the fear produced by having an underlying health condition, are likely to put pressure on all our coping mechanisms.
'We don't know when this pandemic will be over but the news about employment seems likely to put further strain on an already stressed population. The figures for depression are then likely to be much worse.'

Director of the Advanced BodySculpt Centre, Obengfo Hospital, Dr Dominic Obeng-Andoh has been charged with murder by the district court. Together with his janitor, who has also been charged with impersonation, the duo has been remanded in police custody to assist with investigations into the death of Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship Innovation Programme (NEIP), Stacy Offei-Darko.
Detective Chief Inspector Simeon Appiosornu told the court that they are still investigating, and, if granted bail, the duo would interfere with investigations.
Lawyer for the accused persons, Jonathan Dzaisu told the court, presided over by Afua Sackey that the facts presented by the prosecution do not support the charges levelled against his clients.
He prayed the court to grant his clients bail as the first accused person is a qualified medical doctor and a hard-working man who takes care of many Ghanaians.
The lawyer said his client has not been feeling well since his arrest and pleaded with the court to order the prosecution to afford the 1st accused person access to medical health. The court, however, adjourned the case to June 12.
Meanwhile, Nana Akosua Animah, mother of the 37-year-old deputy CEO, told the media in various interviews that her daughter died at the Obengfo Hospital under mysterious circumstances and was put in the morgue without the knowledge nor consent of any family member.
The mother said she only got informed of her daughter's death three days after her passing.
She said she felt suspicious about the turn of events and reported Dr Obeng-Andoh to the police.
In the meantime, the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital is performing a postmortem on Ms Offei Darko's body to ascertain the cause of her death, adding that "even a chicken won't be treated like she was".
Dr Obeng-Andoh has had several brushes with the law in the past. In 2017, his facility was shut down by the Medical and Dental Council for operating without a licence.
In 2016, Dr Obeng-Andoh was arrested for operating illegally following numerous complaints received from his patients.

Reading centers have always been my favorite part of the day. My students can use these magnets to practice spelling sight words, identifying phonemes, or a specific sound in a word.
I give each of the students at the center their own baking sheet. This serves as their mat and allows them to stick the magnets on and move them around as needed. It is also helpful that they all have their own space while they are working on this activity.
Put the pile of cards face down in the middle.
Taking turns, the students select a card and place it on their baking sheet. They look at the picture, sound out the beginning blend, and find the corresponding letters to place on the mat.
The students can keep playing until all cards have been solved!
If you want to change up this activity, it can also be used as a dry erase spelling activity! You will just need to laminate them first.
Students take a mat, look at the picture and sound out the word. They identify the beginning blend and write it in the boxes provided using a dry erase marker.
This is an easy to prep activity and can be used for years to come! It is a great option for not only reading centers, but morning work tubs, early finisher activities, or sub day plans!
If you're ready to grab these FREE Valentine's Day Consonant Blend Magnet Mats, then grab them by clicking the large, yellow button below!

Q: MSNodeSQL & IISNode I am using Node JS with IIS (IISNode) and Microsoft's MS SQL driver package (MSNodeSQL) to create a http server. When accessing my database via the http server I get the following error when attempting to connect to the MS SQL database:
error { [Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified] sqlstate: 'IM002', code: 0 }

But if I try to access the database locally on my server without the http server, then it connects perfectly fine. The ODBC driver is obviously installed.
Here is my code:
var http = require('http');
var sql = require('msnodesql');
var conn_str = "Driver={SQL Server Native Client 11.0}; Server=***; Database=***; UID=***; PWD=***;";

var blah = "";
http.createServer(function (req, res) {

    sql.open(conn_str, function (err, conn) {
        if (err) {
            console.log("error", err);
            res.end("error");
            return;
        }

        conn.queryRaw("SELECT * FROM ProductLinks", function (err, results) {
            if (err) {
                res.end('failed2');
                return;
            }
            for (var i = 0; i < results.rows.length; i++) {
                blah += "Id: " + results.rows[i][0] + " Name: " + results.rows[i][1] + " Text: " + results.rows[i][2] + " Link: " + results.rows[i][3];
            }
            res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
            res.end(blah);
        });
    });
}).listen(process.env.PORT);

I have a feeling it may be down to permissions somewhere since it works locally and not remotely, but I'm not entirely sure. Plus when locally, Node JS is being executed under a different user as opposed to IIS_IUSR which IISNode uses.
Any help would be great, thanks!

A: I tried Node-MSSQL it's very good and very simple to use and it's connected and gets data successfully but it works on sql authentication only

The Unholy Three is a 1925 American silent crime melodrama film
by Freddy De Freitas | Jan 17, 2022 | Lifestyle & Health, Movie, USA
The Unholy Three is a 1925 American silent crime melodrama film involving a trio of circus conmen, directed by Tod Browning and starring Lon Chaney. The supporting cast features Mae Busch, Matt Moore, Victor McLaglen, and Harry Earles. The Unholy Three marks the establishment of the notable artistic alliance between director Browning and actor Chaney that would deliver eight outstanding films to M-G-M studios during the late silent film era.
The film was remade in 1930 as a talkie directed by Sam Conway. Chaney and Earles repeated their performances as Professor Echo and Tweedledee.
The Unholy Three (1925 film) L to R: Victor McLaglen, Harry Earles, Mae Busch, Lon Chaney.
Three performers leave a sideshow after Tweedledee (Harry Earles), a midget performer, assaults a young heckler and sparks a melee. The three join together in an "unholy" plan to become wealthy. Prof. Echo, the ventriloquist, assumes the role of Mrs. O'Grady, a kindly old grandmother, who runs a pet shop, while Tweedledee plays her grandchild. Hercules (Victor McLaglen), the strongman, works in the shop along with the unsuspecting Hector McDonald (Matt Moore). Echo's girlfriend, pickpocket Rosie O'Grady (Mae Busch), pretends to be his granddaughter.
Using what they learn from delivering pets, the trio later commit burglaries, with their wealthy buyers as victims. On Christmas Eve, John Arlington (an uncredited Charles Wellesley) telephones to complain that the "talking" parrot (aided by Echo's ventriloquism) he bought will not speak. When "Granny" O'Grady visits him to coax the bird into performing, "she" takes along grandson "Little Willie". While there, they learn that a valuable ruby necklace is in the house. They decide to steal it that night. As Echo is too busy, the other two grow impatient and decide to go ahead without him.
The next day, Echo is furious to read in the newspaper that Arlington was killed and his three-year-old daughter badly injured in the robbery. Hercules shows no remorse whatsoever, relating how Arlington pleaded for his life. When a police investigator shows up at the shop, the trio become fearful and decide to frame Hector, hiding the jewelry in his room.
Meanwhile, Hector proposes to Rosie. She turns him down, but he overhears her crying after he leaves. To his joy, she confesses she loves him, but was ashamed of her shady past. When the police take him away, Rosie tells the trio that she will exonerate him, forcing them to abduct her and flee to a mountain cabin. Echo takes along his large pet ape (who terrifies Hercules).
In the spring, Hector is brought to trial. Rosie pleads with Echo to save Hector, promising to stay with him if he does. After Echo leaves for the city, Tweedledee overhears Hercules asking Rosie to run away with him (and the loot). Tweedledee releases the ape. Hercules kills Tweedledee right before the ape gets him.
At the trial, Echo agonizes over what to do, but finally rushes forward and confesses all. Both he and Hector are set free. When Rosie goes to Echo to keep her promise, he lies and says he was only kidding. He tells her to go to Hector. Echo returns to the sideshow, giving his spiel to the customers: "That's all there is to life, friends, … a little laughter … a little tear."

In 1924, Universal's vice-president Irving Thalberg departed to join Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios as production manager. Director Tod Browning followed him to M-G-M after producing a number of unimpressive independent films.
At M-G-M he proposed adapting author Tod Robbins' The Unholy Three and Thalberg accommodated Browning by purchasing the rights and enlisting Lon Chaney to play the lead; Chaney may have requested that Browning direct, having worked with him effectively in 1921 on Universal's Outside the Law starring Priscilla Dean.
With The Unholy Three, Thalberg, Browning and Chaney established a highly creative and profitable collaborative trio that produced seven more films at M-G-M, marking the zenith of both Browning's and Chaney's careers.
Browning arrived at M-G-M well-versed in the techniques of "trick photography." The "ape" that dispatches the strongman Hector (Victor McLaglen) was actually a three-foot-tall chimpanzee who was made to appear gigantic with camera trickery and perspective shots. When Echo removes the ape from his cage, the shot shows Echo (with his back turned to the camera) unlocking the cage and walking the ape to the truck. The ape appears to be roughly the same size as Echo. This effect was achieved by having Harry Earles (who played "Tweedledee" in the film) play Echo for these brief shots, and then cutting to Chaney, making it seem as though the ape is gigantic. (In the 1930 remake, the ape was played by Charles Gemora.)
Release and reception
The Unholy Three
The Unholy Three enjoyed tremendous success, adding luster to Chaney's reputation as "The Man of a Thousand Faces" and revealing Browning's as a remarkable film stylist.
On August 15, 1925 The Billboard published a list of five short reviews for the movie. This featured such critics as Mordaunt Hall (Times), George Gerhard (Evening World), Richard Watts Jr. (Herald-Tribune), and W.R. (World).
The movie was such a success upon its debut that at its release at the New York Capitol Theater, it maintained a strong audience attendance for at least two weeks. Major Edward Bowes, who was the managing director at the time, took steps to ensure everyone who didn't get to see the movie the first week of its viewing would get to by extending the movie's stay. An article written about this event noted the movie as "acclaimed as the best crook drama on the screen and one of the most entertaining motion pictures ever made", which speaks, along with its apparent popularity, for the movie's quality.
Sherwood of Life magazine praised the movie for its photography and providing a more psychological horror film rather than relying on movie effects to scare its audience. Noted by Sherwood is how the film was shot great attention given to scenes as individual pieces rather than as parts of one greater project, causing continuity errors. This is explained by the writer as an acceptable outcome considering the overall quality. The review is concluded with Sherwood declaring The Unholy Three to be "the best picture of its kind since The Miracle Man."
The Unholy Three was released for the first time on DVD by Warner Bros. Digital Distribution on October 26, 2010. The company would later re-release the film as a part of its 6-disc Lon Chaney: The Warner Archive Classics Collection on November 22, 2011, and on June 23, 2015.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 83% based on 6 reviews, with a weighted average rating of 6.8/10. Author and film critic Leonard Maltin gave the film two and a half out of four stars. Although Maltin noted that the film contained aspects that were less satisfactory, he commended its strong basic idea and Chaney's performance.
As is common of a Tod Browning film, circus life and unusual bodies play a central role in this movie along with great use of trompe-l'œil optical illusion. Trompe-l'œil is exercised and played with as the illusion of Dr. Echo as "Mrs. O'Grady" and Tweedledee as "Little Willie". The main plot of the movie revolves around the character's abilities to pass themselves off convincingly as something they are not, an illusion the movie peels back and reasserts for both the other characters and for the audience themselves. Contrary to the usual use of this effect, Browning makes it a point to disillusion the audience and display the workings of the illusion to create a different sort of viewing stimulation.
In most Browning films, his opinion of the deformed and different becomes evident. The Unholy Three's plot plays directly with another of Browning's favorite topics, dealing with identity, doubles, dual roles, and deformity. This film is unique in that the character Tweedledee is the only one of this group of that is played by a deformed character and is malicious in nature.

The Falklands War 1982
by Duncan Anderson
96 pages2 hours
The Argentine invasion of the Falklands in 1982 sparked national outrage and Britain felt she had to avenge the humiliation and protect her own. This volume explores both the military and political dimensions of this important conflict, including detailed accounts of the air / sea battle, the Battle for San Carlos Water, Goose Green, Mt Harriet, Tumbledown and many others. It explains how success in the Falklands set the stage for the years of Thatcher's dominance, and restored British prestige. Including first hand accounts from both soldiers and civilians, this is an interesting and thoroughly up to date appraisal.

Background to war
Tango and tea dance: Argentine and British misperceptions
In 1807 a British expeditionary force landed on the shores of the river Platte and marched on the Spanish colony of Buenos Aires. The British regulars expected an easy fight but their opponents, a colonial militia, defended their city street by street. The coherence of the attack soon broke up, and it was the British who surrendered. This victory so stimulated the colonists' self-confidence that they soon broke from Spain, fighting a long war of independence in which Britain, their former enemy, became an ally. In gratitude the new Republic of Argentina named a main square in Buenos Aires the Plaza Britannica. British investment poured into Argentina, first into cattle ranching and then into railways, and the younger sons of the British aristocracy and gentry came down to Buenos Aires and married into the Argentine elite. They sent their children to Argentine versions of English public schools, and many later studied at Oxford and Cambridge. They also bred horses that did well in British race meetings, and played polo to a very high standard. By the early 1980s the Anglo-Argentine elite boasted relatives of the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of York; the Chairman of the Conservative Party, Lord Vesty, visited Buenos Aires regularly to oversee his vast business investments, and many British cavalry officers came out at least once a year to try to win back polo trophies.
1. Argentine base on South Thule since 1976
2. Territorial claims put forward by Britain, Argentina and Chile
Relations between Britain and Argentina were bedevilled by only one problem. Britain and Spain had both claimed the Falkland Islands, and along with independence in 1820 Argentina had inherited the Spanish rights. In 1831 the American frigate Lemington had removed the small number of Argentine settlers, after they had been in dispute with American sealers. Two years later the British reasserted their rights and established a colony. The population grew slowly, peaked at about 2,400 in 1931, and then declined slowly to about 2,000 by 1980. During this century and a half the islanders developed a distinctive accent and a distinctive, but still very British, culture. Though remote, they had been touched many times by world events – in 1914, for example, when several Islanders had lost their lives in the Battle of the Falkland Islands, and again in 1939 when HMS Exeter put into Stanley for repairs during the hunt for the Graf Spee. They had also played a role in the last great age of Antarctic exploration, and in the early 1980s old islanders would recall meeting Ernest Shackleton and Roald Amundsen. Life was hard and simple, not unlike that enjoyed by the natives of the Outer Hebrides. By 1980 some families had been on the islands for more than five generations, and were to all intents and purposes natives of the Falklands.
Unfortunately Argentina had never relinquished its claim on the Falkland Islands, reviving it in 1910 and again in 1927, when it was extended to include not only the islands themselves but dependencies administered by the British governor from the Falklands: the island of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. After joining the United Nations after the Second World War, Argentina lobbied patiently to have the Falklands recognised as a decolonisation issue, in accordance with United Nations General Assembly Resolution 114 of 1945. Years of diplomatic manoeuvre paid off in 1965 with General Assembly Resolution 2065, which called on Britain and Argentina to negotiate 'bearing in mind Resolution 114 and the interests [not the wishes] of the islanders'.
Negotiations began in 1966 and dragged on until 1980. Officials at the Foreign Office quickly decided that the 'interests' of the islanders, and Britain's interests in South America, lay in transferring sovereignty of the Falklands to Argentina as quickly as possible. To this end they discouraged investment in the islands and signed a communications agreement with Argentina, which made the Falklands dependent on Argentina for weekly air flights. Unfortunately for the Foreign Office, the Falkland Islands Company (founded in 1851 and now controlled by the British company Coalite), which owned nearly half the islands, and the Falkland Islands Committee, a parliamentary lobby group created by members of the Falkland Islands Executive Council in Britain in 1968, had sufficient political power to prevent an outright handover. This power increased during the 1970s with the beginnings of the 'Dirty War' in Argentina and the military coup of 1976, which placed the country under a succession of military juntas. In 1979, in a renewed attempt to obviate opposition, the new Foreign Secretary, Lord Carrington, a career diplomat, devised a lease-back agreement as a possible solution, where Argentina would be given sovereignty in return for Britain maintaining day-to-day administration during a long lease period. This solution appeared to be acceptable to the leaders in Buenos Aires, but when it came before the House of Commons on 2 December 1980, was roundly condemned.
There was now an impasse. After 14 years of negotiations Argentine diplomats had apparently run into a brick wall. And yet other departments in Whitehall began activities that suggested that Britain had washed its hands of the islands. The Home Office decided that the 1981 Nationality Act would not include an exception for Falkland Islanders, most of whom were now deprived of their automatic right to British citizenship. Whitehall also announced that the future of the British Antarctic Survey Base at Grytviken in South Georgia was under review. The Ministry of Defence announced the results of a major Defence Review, which recommended selling off or scrapping about one-third of the Royal Navy's surface fleet, including the light carriers Hermes and Invincible, and the Landing Ship Dock Intrepid. There was also widespread speculation in the press of plans to abolish the Royal Marines. However, the announcement that had the greatest impact on the Junta was the MoD's decision to withdraw the Antarctic Protection Vessel Endurance, and not replace her. This ship not only had a sophisticated intelligence-gathering capability, but was also a highly visible symbol of Britain's determination to retain its interests in the South Atlantic. When these straws in the wind were taken in combination, there was only one conclusion the Junta could reach – that Britain had decided to abandon its territories in the South Atlantic, and would shortly lack the capacity to defend them, even if she were to change her


A portion of this song is quoted on page 16 of the printed Heritage Songbook.
Sont arrivés comme des braves guerriers.
Qui sont ici pour piller notr' pays.
Voilà l' Anglais qui vient nous attacquer!
Ils sont immobiles, ils sont démontés.
L'ambassadeur a manqué de teur.
Il s'est trompé, il s'est fait tuer.
Rien qu' quatre ou cinq se sont sauvés.
Les Bois-Brûlés jetaient des cris de joie!
Qui en a composé la chanson?
C'est Pierre Falcon, poète du canton.
Elle a été faite et composée.
A song of a true and a brave thing.
Arrived like soldiers full of joy.
Come for to steal our fair country.
When the Englishmen upon us came.
Which caused them all to halt in fear.
Attacked him as he came along.
Thinks he can act like a great lord.
But when we killed him it stopped his noise.
Most of his grenadiers they were slain.
While all the rest to our guns fell prey.
Leaving our hearts so full of joy.
My name it is Pierre Falcon.
About the Brule Boys so strong.
This is a song of the Métis — the French-speaking people who arose from the interbreeding of French and Indians in Canada. They were largely outcast from the society of English Canada, and tried to make their own way in the western part of Canada — first in what is now called Manitoba, later in Saskatchewan.
Unfortunately, the English were always pushing them — first with the establishment of Winnipeg, then as railroads let farmers move into the lands of Saskatchewan and Alberta. At one stage of the conflict, quite a few Métis ended up in the upper Red River Valley area of Minnesota.
Sometimes the Métis yielded ground; sometimes they fought back. In the end, the fighting would destroy them; they were slaughtered at the Battle of Batoche (May 12, 1885) and their leader, Louis Riel, was executed. Bill Gallaher wrote a very beautiful song about this, "The Last Battle," recorded by Gordon Bok on his CD "In the Kind Land" (Timberhead Records, THD CD11). But that song is not traditional, and it dates from a time when the Métis were no longer in Manitoba and Minnesota.
This song comes from an earlier stage of the conflict between English Canadians and Métis; it comes from a time when western Canada was still ruled by the two great British trading companies, the Hudson's Bay Company and the Northwest Company. Neither was above using the Métis to raid the others' outposts — which is what happened here: the song refers to a conflict that took place June 19, 1816 near Fort Douglas on the Red River. The Métis soldiers of the Northwest Company (who called themselves Bois-Brûlés after their relatively dark skins) fought a force from the Hudson's Bay company and defeated it completely.
Pierre Falcon, the author of this piece, was a witness to the conflict, and reportedly wrote it on the night of the battle. The Métis name is Chanson de la Genouillère, the "Song of Frog Plain." It is known as Falcon's Song because it became famous — probably the most famous of all the Métis songs. Although it refers to an inter-company conflict (soon to be cleared up when the companies merged), it became a song of Métis pride and independence.
Source: The French words and tune are from Edith Fowke, Alan Mills, and Helmut Blume, Canada's Story in Song, p. 122. The translation combines portions of several verses to reduce the song from ten verses to eight.

Q: Excel Pie Chart with categories and pulled slices Is there a way to make a pie chart like this in Excel? All I can find are ways to pull individual slices, but not keep them together with other slices in the same category. I need to keep them together, but pulled out as a group.

A: There is not currently a way to do this in Excel.
What you would have to do is make multiple pie charts.  Each pie chart would have a different category visible (i.e. change the fill and outline of each of the other slices to "No fill" so only the category you want to see shows). Then you would have to overlay the charts to get the desired effect (Make sure the background of the charts on top has "No fill", so you can see the charts below).

Global Hunger Index Ranks India at 101 out of 116 countries
Leave a Comment / Citizen's Blog / By OF The Citizens Team
The Global Hunger Index launched on Thursday ranked India at 101 position out of a total 116 countries. India is also among the 31 countries where hunger has been identified as serious. India ranked 94 among 107 countries in the Global Hunger Index (GHI) released last year.
Only 15 countries fare worse than India.
These include Papua New Guinea (102), Afghanistan (103), Nigeria (103), Congo (105), Mozambique (106), Sierra Leone (106), Timor-Leste (108), Haiti (109), Liberia (110), Madagascar (111), Democratic Republic of Congo (112), Chad (113), Central African Republic (114), Yemen (115) and Somalia (116).
India was also behind most of the neighbouring countries. Pakistan was placed at 92 rank, Nepal at 76 and Bangladesh also at 76.
Current projections based on the Global Hunger Index (GHI) show that the world as a whole — and 47 countries in particular — will fail to achieve even low hunger by 2030.
The Index tracks key indicators used to measure progress toward Zero Hunger by 2030 at national, regional, and global levels. Based on the values of the four indicators – undernourishment, child wasting, child stunting and child mortality- the GHI determines hunger on a 100-point scale, where 0 is the best possible score (no hunger) and 100 is the worst. Each country's GHI score is classified by severity, from low to extremely alarming.
Somalia has the highest level of hunger according to the 2021 GHI ranking — its GHI score of 50.8 is considered extremely alarming, It is preceded by five countries with levels of hunger that are alarming — Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and Yemen — and 31 countries that have serious levels of hunger.
"Although GHI scores show that global hunger has been on the decline since 2000, progress is slowing. While the GHI score for the world fell 4.7 points, from 25.1 to 20.4, between 2006 and 2012, it has fallen just 2.5 points since 2012. After decades of decline, the global prevalence of undernourishment — one of the four indicators used to calculate GHI scores — is increasing. This shift may be a harbinger of reversals in other measures of hunger," says the report.

Now that the git repository and the node module structure are setup, we are ready to start coding the application.

This application will be a simple hello world.

### Instaling our dependencies

In node.js, the dependencies are listed in the **package.json** file. All dependencies from this file can be installed using the command `npm install .`.

An other dependency can be installed and added to the package.json using: `npm install name@version --save`.

Our application will depend on: `express@4.3.1`.

So install it using:

```
$ npm install express@4.3.1 --save
```

### Hello World

[Express](http://expressjs.com/) is web application framework for node, it makes it really easy to write web application using node.

Write in a file named **main.js**:

```js
var express = require("express");
var app = express();

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
  res.send('Hello World!');
});

var port = Number(process.env.PORT || 5000);
app.listen(port, function() {
  console.log("Listening on " + port);
});

```

This code will simply create an application using Express. Define an handling method for a get request on the root path. And start the web server on the port defined by the environment variable `PORT` or `5000`.

### Run Script

Heroku convention needs a `Procfile` file that defines how to start the application. You can learn more about **Procfile** in the [Heroku documentation](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/procfile).

Write in a file named **Procfile**:

```
web: node main.js
```

This file simply tell Heroku that for starting this application, it needs to start a web dyno by running the command `node main.js`.

R. Kelly and an Alleged Captive Deny 'Cult' Claims
by Singersroom July 18, 2017 July 18, 2017
R. Kelly has support in his complete denial regarding claims he created a "sex cult" with various women.
On Monday, BuzzFeed News published a report alleging the Pied Piper of R&B, 50, was manipulating up to six women into sexual confinement and encouraging them to cut off all contact with their families.
In the report, the parents of an aspiring Georgia singer, whose name was excluded for protection, speak about their beliefs after they say that their daughter ran away to live with Kelly. Other parents are reportedly pleading for their daughters to come home. Other former members of Kelly's inner circle that spoke on the record include Cheryl Mack, Kitti Jones, and Asante McGee. Mack, who worked as Kelly's personal assistant, reveals that women who live with the "Trapped In The Closet" singer "have to ask for food" and "have to ask to go use the bathroom."
Following the publication, Timothy and Jonjelyn Savage, the parents of Jocelyn Savage, 21, along with McGee, held a press conference alleging Jocelyn had been brainwashed by Kelly and called for him to let her return to her family.
In a video interview with TMZ.com, Jocelyn denied the claims, insisting she was happy and living freely. "I am in a happy place in my life, and I'm not being brainwashed or anything like that," she stated in the clip, which was recorded from an undisclosed location.
She added, "I just want everybody to know, my parents and everybody in the world, that I am totally fine. I'm happy where I'm at, and everything is okay with me…I've never been held hostage or anything of that nature."
However, when asked where she was, if she has other roommates or if she was free to leave where she was living she said, "I wouldn't want to speak on that."
Jocelyn revealed that she had not spoken to her parents in around six months but said she still received text messages from them. She said she had limited her contact with them because of the allegations they had made about Kelly.
Several parents and former associates from Kelly's inner circle claim he is controlling the lives of six women living at a guest house next to his home in Duluth, Georgia and a recording studio he rents in Chicago, Illinois.
Through his lawyer, Kelly has denied the accusations.
"Mr. Robert Kelly is both alarmed and disturbed by the recent revelations attributed to him," his attorney Linda Mensch told TMZ in a statement. "Mr. Kelly unequivocally denies such accusations and will work diligently and forcibly to pursue his accusers and clear his name."
Kelly's neighbors in Duluth have also denied seeing anything inauspicious at the home he rents in the community.

Appearance-related effects of cancer treatment can be difficult for many individuals. Hair loss especially can be a distressing side effect, but synthetic wigs can help. Here are care tips for anyone using synthetic wig along with additional resources to consider.
1) Gently brush out the wig to remove any tangles.
2) When the wig is ready to be washed, fill the sink with cool water. Never use hot water, as this can damage synthetic hair. Pour in about a quarter-size dab of shampoo (your own or baby shampoo). When the wig is fully wet, swish it around for about a minute and then let soak for about another minute. TIP: Leave the wig to soak in the shampoo and water for five minutes before washing. This will loosen any stubborn debris and results in less rubbing friction.
3) Remove the wig and rinse in cold water until no suds remain.
4) Drying: It is all right to blot the wig with a towel, but don't twist the wig or wring it out. You can use your fingers to gently separate and arrange the strands as the wig is drying, but don't try to comb or brush the wig while still wet. The fibers could be stretched to the breaking point. Place the wig on a tall object, like a vase or a hairspray can to dry overnight. Do not allow the wig to dry in direct sunlight.
5) When the wig is completely dry, you can brush it and style it as you usually would.
Wigs need to be washed approximately once a month.
Remember, no heat! Do not expose your wig to heat over 160 degrees or so, for example, avoid opening an oven, standing near a grill, or putting the wig under a lamp.
CancerCare's oncology social workers recognize that appearance-related effects of cancer treatment can be difficult for many women. The Wig Clinic aims to empower women diagnosed with cancer to look and feel their best during treatment and beyond; to cope with dignity and confidence.
This is an opportunity for women diagnosed with any type of cancer who are receiving chemotherapy to receive one free wig. We provide new wigs in a variety of lengths, colors and styles. During the individual 30-minute fitting, women have the opportunity to try on different wigs with assistance from a wig fitter. An oncology social worker is also present to provide support. Basic wig care is discussed, although we do not have the capacity to cut or style wigs ourselves.
CancerCare's New Jersey and Connecticut offices offer free wig fittings by appointment. Call 800-813-HOPE (4673) for more information.
The emotional and physical changes associated with cancer are often overwhelming. Oncology social workers are licensed professionals who counsel people affected by cancer, providing emotional support and helping people access practical assistance. CancerCare's oncology social workers are available to help face-to-face, online or on the telephone to find local resources, free of charge. To learn more, visit www.cancercare.org or call 800-813-HOPE (4673).

Shonen Jump Alpha will then host two chapters of the manga past volume 8 in each issue starting on July 30. The speed-up will then catch up with the chapters in Japan on August 20. August 20's issue of Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha will contain the latest chapter of Blue Exorcist two weeks after it ran in Shueisha's Jump SQ. magazine.

Q: how to wait until promise returns when using $resource I have a my controller with an activate method which waits for promises to return before going forward.
        function activate() {
        var promises = [getNodesGroup(), getNodes()];
        common.activateController(promises, controllerId)
            .then(function () {
                log('Activated');
            });
    }

Both of the promises had similar approach to get the data and that was using $http in datacontext.getNodeGroups() and datacontext.getNodes() methods.one of which is like this
        function getNodesGroup() {
        return datacontext.getNodeGroups().then(function (response) {
            $scope.nodeGroups = response.data;
           //other logic
        });

All was working fine until now when i tried to use $resource for one of teh promises (getNodes()). my resource for node is setup like this
(function () {
'use strict';
var nodeServiceRoot = '/api/Nodes';

var GetAllNodesUrl = nodeServiceRoot + '/GetAllNodes';

angular.module('common.service')
.factory("nodeResource",["$resource","appSettings", nodeResource])
function nodeResource($resource, appSettings) {
    return $resource(appSettings.serverPath + GetAllNodesUrl);
}}());

and i am trying to consume it like this
        function getNodes() {
        $scope.nodes = nodeResource.query();
        $scope.nodes.$promise.then(function (response) {
            $scope.nodes = response;
            //other logic
        });

i don't know how to return getNodes() so that my activate functions wait for it before proceeding. right now whats happening is that sometime both functions are run when it hits log('Activated'); line of activate functions and some time only one promise with old $http approach (getNodeGroups()) is run but not the other.

A: well i guess the answer was very simple. i was missing 'return' in getNodes()
so what worked for me is
 function getNodes() {
    $scope.nodes = nodeResource.query();
  **return**  $scope.nodes.$promise.then(function (response) {
        $scope.nodes = response;
        //other logic
    });

COMPLETE ZMA (90 caps)
Optimizes sleep recovery
Stress-reducing effect
Calming effect on the nervous system
Improves recovery
Maintains mineral balance in the body
Promotes hydration of the brain
Plays a key part with more than 350 enzymes
Plays a key part in fats, carbohydrates and proteins metabolism
Supports the immune system
Supports the hormonal system
Reduces prolonged excitation of neurons by producing GABA
1 container = 90 capsules
Servings = 30 to 45
1 serving = 2 to 3 capsules
Take 1 serving 30 minutes before bedtime
Complete ZMA is a synergistic and unique combination of carefully selected first-class ingredients to improve the functioning of the human body.
Zinc is a trace element of paramount importance to health and, unfortunately, many are relatively deficient in Zinc. In addition to its role in the immune system by its ability to assist in the production of white blood cells, zinc is essential to the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates and proteins. It is necessary for good growth and optimal development, as well as for healing and regeneration of the digestive wall. In addition, he actively participates in the optimization of good hormonal health in both men and women.
Magnesium, for its part, is involved in more than 300 chemical reactions in the human body. According to the World Health Organization, more than 75% of Americans are deficient in magnesium. His roles are vast: energy production, DNA protection, nerve function, muscle relaxation, mood, heart rate, immune system and bones. Constipation, muscle cramps, restless legs syndrome, headaches and even mood disorders are all signs of magnesium deficiency. The magnesium glycinate, chosen in the formula Complete ZMA, is also excellent in order to facilitate sleep.
Taurine, a very special amino acid, has a wide range of health benefits. Taurine plays a positive role in cardiovascular health, insulin resistance and stress management. In addition, adequate intake of this amino acid would facilitate performance and recovery while helping to protect against cognitive decline. Its direct interaction with GABA, the calming neurotransmitter of the brain, gives it a place of choice in a world where everything is much too stimulating.
Theanine is an amino acid, for its part, only present in green tea. By acting directly on the calming side of the nervous system, this compound improves concentration, reduces stress and promotes relaxation.
It is therefore ideal after a great workout or at bedtime.

This egg has a small sprout which on closer inspection appears to be a horn.
Harvest Quilin hatchlings are intensely curious. They will closely follow their magi around the Keep, and their inquisitiveness seems to be focused around food. They enjoy observing what people eat, and in the wild, hatchling quilins will observe what other species eat. It is thought they are learning what foods are best to grow and provide for other species when they become adults. However, they very much enjoy sharing food, and will not turn down tasty morsels provided. Aside from their curiosity and a desire to be near others, they are otherwise self-sufficient, and don't require much nurturing by either their parents or their magi. Many magi say that they feel the Quilin are studying them as much as they study Quilin.
