Teófilo Trejo Pérez (5 de marzo de 1941, La Lima - 18 de marzo de 2016, San Pedro Sula), mejor conocido simplemente como Teofilito, fue un escritor y dirigente campesino hondureño, destacado por sus obras sobre tradición oral de Honduras.

Biografía

Nació en 1941, en el municipio de La Lima. Su madre falleció cuando él tenía nueve años de edad, por lo que se vio obligado a abandonar la escuela para ayudar a su padre a mantener a sus cinco hermanos, trabajando en una finca bananera. Durante muchos años trabajó como campesino. Fundó la Central Nacional de Trabajadores del Campo (CNTC), de la cual fue su primer secretario. Con la CNTC luchó por los derechos de los campesinos, en una época en la que eran explotados, y debido a esto, Teofilito fue apresado más de una vez. En 1971 laboró como monitor en las Escuelas Radiofónicas Suyapa de la Iglesia Católica. En 1988, Editorial Guaymuras le público su primer libro, "Las perras de Teofilito", y en años posteriores público otras obras.

Teofilito vivía en Choloma junto con su familia. El 18 de marzo de 2016, fue atropellado por un motociclista que se dio a la fuga. Teofilito fue hospitalizado de emergencia en el Hospital Mario Catarino Rivas, en San Pedro Sula, pero falleció ese mismo día a causa de sus heridas.<ref>{{cite news|author=|title=Muere Teófilo Trejo, autor de "Las perras de Teofilito|url=https://www.elheraldo.hn/pais/941417-466/muere-teófilo-trejo-creador-de-las-perras-de-teofilito|accessdate=18 de abril de 2019|newspaper=El Heraldo|date=18 de marzo de 2016}}</ref>

by Tom Walsh
The Hollywood News
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few years (or you've been glued to a cinema seat the entire time), you've probably heard of axe throwing. The deceptively simple rec activity, centered on – you guessed it – throwing axes at a wooden target, has become a runaway hit with rec-enthusiasts across the country.
The axe, in other words, is enjoying its day in the sun. That humblest of weapons, a mainstay of the fantasy and horror genres, has been embraced by all sorts of people, neither fantastical nor horrific. And to celebrate its popularity in the current zeitgeist, why not take a look back at how the iconic weapon has been handled on the silver screen.
These are, arguably, the five most famous uses of an axe in movie history. Revisit this glimmering blade on the silver screen, then, for a little real-world fun, try

The 5 Best Tom & Jerry Films (& The 5 Worst) According To IMDb
Tom and Jerry is a series of cartoons that started out as shorts that were produced by Hanna-Barbera and MGM Cartoons in the 1940s. It has since led to a number of spin-off television shows, a theatrically released film, as well as direct-to-video films, with another theatrically released film set to come out in December of this year, after originally being scheduled for 2021. The short films and the subsequent spin-offs follow Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse and the antics that come from adding a cartoonish spin on the cat-and-mouse chase.

With some exceptions, the Tom and Jerry spin-off films typically are adaptations of different aspects of popular culture from The Wizard of Oz to The Fast and the Furious, but with Tom and Jerry in them. In spite of the enduring success of the show and the continuing of the films,

NCIS Season 17 Episode 11 Review: In The Wind
by Dale McGarrigle
TVfanatic
It was an episode of goodbyes.
Both Ziva and Phineas exited the series, at least for now, on NCIS Season 17 Episode 11.
It was a heartwarming episode that would have been a perfect place to break for the holiday hiatus.
Oops, too late for that.
Instead, it will be just the first during a January full of new episodes, robbing it some of lingering impact.
Rather than just picking up where NCIS Season 17 Episode 10 ended, the story of how Gibbs told Phineas about his mother's death was told via dark flashbacks pulled out of Gibbs by Jack, instead.
Of course, Gibbs blamed himself for Sarah/Sahar's death and Phineas's resulting disappearance.
And so did Ziva blame herself, for that matter.
At least we finally found out who Phineas was.
It was an interesting twist that he was actually Sahar's son. It seemed much more likely that she had just acquired an

"It was difficult because I have a bum hip," the intrepid high-kicker tells Rolling Stone.

Martin Scorsese Hails Robert De Niro as 'The Greatest Actor of His Generation' at Variety Creative Impact Awards
by Malina Saval
"Tomorrow I'll be presenting [Martin Scorsese] with the 2020 Kim Jong Un Humanitarian Award and after that the big one — the Kids' Choice Award," Robert De Niro quipped in his opening remarks upon receiving the Variety Creative Impact in Acting Award at the Variety Creative Impact Awards and 10 Directors to Watch Brunch Presented by AT&T on Friday morning. "It's what we do," De Niro laughed.
Scorsese, who was at the Parker Palm Springs to introduce "The Irishman" star and longtime professional collaborator, called De Niro "the greatest actor of his generation" whose "creative impact in acting will always be felt so long as there are actors to express their art."
Scorsese made note of the nine films he and De Niro have made together, adding that "God willing, we're on the tenth, with Leo [DiCaprio]."
"We met when we were 16 years old," Scorsese said of fellow New Yorker De Niro.

Home release details for biopic 'Judy' revealed
by Paul Heath
We've just been sent along the home release details for the true story Judy, which comes to DVD, Blu-ray, etc early next year.
Here's the official synopsis:
Winter 1968, and showbiz legend Judy Garland arrives in London, to perform in a sell-out run at The Talk of the Town. It is 30 years since she shot to global stardom in The Wizard Of Oz, but if her voice has weakened, its dramatic intensity has only grown.
As she prepares for the show, battles with management, charms musicians, and reminisces with friends and adoring fans, her wit and warmth shine through. Even her dreams of romance seem undimmed, as she embarks on a courtship with Mickey Deans, her soon-to- be fifth husband.
And yet Judy is fragile. After working for 45 of her 47 years, she is exhausted; haunted by memories of a childhood lost to Hollywood gripped by a desire to be back home with her kids.

5 of the best online games based on classic films
by Michael Walsh
HeyUGuys
It's no surprise to say that Hollywood studios are seeing huge profits from franchise films. The massive box office success of The Avengers, Star Wars, and other assorted franchises are testament to the fact that the more recognisable a film series is, the more money it will pull in from audiences around the world. As the studios look further afield to increase their remuneration we are seeing a surge of online games based on new and classic movies.
This is not a new phenomenon. Anyone who grew up in the '80s will attest to the hundreds, if not thousands, of merchandising possibilities that were explored. Computer games, lunchboxes, bedspreads, tie-in novelisations and so on were rife, and continue to be so. One thing that is clear: we are in an age of nostalgia and heavy emphasis is being put on audience recognition. We are nearing Christmas right now, and

Gremlins review – Spielbergian satire still has bite
by Peter Bradshaw
The Guardian - Film News
Like some evil twin of its producer's earlier film Et, this sharp and wacky 1984 kids' horror movie makes fun of American materialism and Christmastime commercialism
In 1984, Steven Spielberg produced this cheeky horror movie for kids, directed by Joe Dante and written by Chris Columbus – now on rerelease. It is a wacky, satirical spectacle of chaos. It consciously alludes to other films, such as It's a Wonderful Life, The Wizard of Oz and Indiana Jones, and has characters watching Clark Gable and Barbara Stanwyck in To Please a Lady on TV. But on the unconscious level, or semi-conscious level, it surely alludes to Spielberg's own Et. In fact, Gremlins is Et's late-spawning evil twin.
Hoyt Axton plays Randall Peltzer, an inventor who lives in a sweet, Bedford Falls-type small town, one of whose local characters is an old drunk who rails against foreign automobiles and foreign things generally

The Art Of Craft: Julian Day Breaks Down Two "Totally Outrageous" Costume Concepts For 'Rocketman'
by Matt Grobar
"To have somebody make a movie about you must be even for Elton, quite weird. It's like you're putting your childhood on sale, all your misdemeanors, your success, and all of that. Given all of that, he was incredible, and a real generous spirit. I showed him the [costume] concepts, and he gave his seal of approval, which was the most important thing for me, because there's no point in doing a film about Elton John, if Elton John doesn't like what he's going to wear. He has been very particular, all throughout his life, about what he wears, so to have his validation was and is very important. So, all in all, I think it was a success, from that point of view." — Julian Day
First working with Dexter Fletcher on Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, costume designer Julian Day subsequently reteamed with the director on Rocketman.

Will Ferrell on 'SNL': 3 Sketches You Have to See
by Ryan McGee
It's a strange feeling to watch an episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by first-ballot All-Time Cast Member Will Ferrell and think, "Hmm, maybe Ryan Reynolds should have hosted this one instead?" Rather than look at this episode as a failure, perhaps it's better look at it as the prime example of how absolutely nothing about this show is predictable. A host simply brings potentiality, not actuality, to the proceedings. For whatever reason the show decided to largely avoid material that would remind people what made Ferrell such
Will Ferrell Hosts SNL: Watch Video of the Best & Worst Sketches
Will Ferrell's Saturday Night Live homecoming marked his fifth turn as host — but there was no mention of the esteemed Five-Timers Club during his "terrible" introduction. Instead, the beloved alumnus fawned over studio audience member Ryan Reynolds, and was eventually joined by former castmate Tracy Morgan. It was the best monologue of the still-young season, and one of the many highlights from this weekend's above-average show (which admittedly got off to a rough start with that lazy, laugh-free cold open).
Surprisingly, Ferrell did not reprise any of his signature roles, like George W. Bush or Jeopardy host Alex Trebek.

'SNL': 'Wizard of Oz' Sketch About Mad Munchkins Is Wicked Funny
by Geoff Boucher
There's no place like home but sometimes it has unexpected shortcomings of its own. That was the lesson learned by the still-concussed Dorothy Gale (Kate McKinnon) in the black-and-white "alternate ending" to The Wizard of Oz, the celluloid artifact that was spotlighted tonight on an Saturday Night Live sketch.
It was framed as another installment of the fictional PBS show Cinema Classics, hosted by the feckless Reese De'What (Kenan Thompson), whose previous Old Hollywood targets have included Casablanca and To Have and Have Not.
McKinnon's Dorothy is back in her bed Kansas with her head spinning and trying to set out her memories of the fantastical realm that she visited on the far side of the rainbow. Just like the familiar version of the MGM classic, Dorothy tells the farmhands that they were there in her dream as Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman, and the Cowardly Lion. The scene veers,
Arthur Marks, 'Perry Mason' and Blaxploitation Director, Dies at 92
Prolific producer and director Arthur Marks, who worked on "Perry Mason" and blaxploitation movies including "Detroit 9000" and "Friday Foster," has died. He was 92.
Marks died Nov. 13 at his home in Woodland Hills, Calif. His son, "Narcos" producer Paul Marks, confirmed his passing to Variety.
Marks was a native of Los Angeles who was born in 1927 into a show business family. His grandparents were actors in silent pictures and his father, Dave Marks, worked as an MGM assistant director and production manager who worked on "The Wizard of Oz" and "Easter Parade." Arthur Marks worked as a child actor, getting work as an extra and bit player on "The Good Earth" (1937), "Boys Town" (1938) and Mickey Rooney's Andy Hardy series.
Marks joined the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy during World War II and served with the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. He began working in the production department at MGM,
The Oscar that got away from Judy Garland could be won by Renee Zellweger
by Susan King
Perhaps Renee Zellweger will have better luck than Judy Garland did at the Academy Awards. Zellweger, who won supporting actress for 2003's "Cold Mountain," is the favorite to take home the Oscar next February for her haunting portrayal of the legendary star/singer in the acclaimed "Judy."
Exactly 65 years ago, Garland was the front-runner to receive her first Academy Award for her powerhouse performance in "A Star is Born," George Cukor's lavish musical version of the 1937 William Wellman classic tale of a matinee idol on the descent who marries an ingenue on the rise.
When the star-studded premiere at the Pantages Theatre aired live on TV on Sept. 29, 1954, star after star told host Jack Carson, who also appears in the film, that Garland was a shoo-in for Oscar gold. Dean Martin told the crowd Garland would probably take home every accolade and Lucille Ball echoed his sentiments.

UPDATE 1-Saudi Arabia invites China's Xi to visit
(Adds details from report, background)
March 14 (Reuters) – Saudi Arabia has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to visit the kingdom in a trip that could happen as soon as May, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
The visit could help the kingdom deepen its ties with Beijing at a time of strained relations with Washington.
Since US President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, the strategic partnership between Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter, and the United States has been tested by Riyadh's human rights record, particularly in light of the war in Yemen and the 2018 murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
In an interview with The Atlantic published earlier this month, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman said he did not care whether Biden misunderstood things about him.
Saudi Arabia is planning to replicate the warm reception it gave to former US President Donald Trump in 2017 when he visited the kingdom on his first trip abroad as president, the Journal report said.
"The crown prince and Xi are close friends and both understand that there is huge potential for stronger ties," the report https://www.wsj.com/articles/saudi-arabia-invites-chinas-xi-to-visit- kingdom-amid-strained-us-relations-11647284211? mod = latest_headlines quoted a Saudi official as saying. "It is not just 'They buy oil from us and we buy weapons from them'."

Will rising construction costs prompt owners to sell up?
Single family homes could see construction costs rising by as much as $10 per square foot, but will we see an increase in property listings? REP investigates.
Listing availability remains low in many of Canada's busy real estate markets, and one Toronto-based broker says that's not about to change, despite rising construction costs.
According to a new report by consultancy firm Altus Group, construction costs for single-family homes could rise by as much as $10 per square foot in some of Canada's more burgeoning communities, such as Edmonton, Halifax and St. John's.
However, Patrick Rocca, a broker with Bosley Real Estate in Toronto, says high construction costs aren't the foremost reason for homeowners' reluctance to sell.
Homeowners have lately opted to renovate instead of relocate, further tightening an already demand-heavy market. Many had hoped that rising construction costs would finally tip those owners in favour of selling and moving up. But the cost of moving still outweighs that of a new kitchen.
The cost of moving is especially high in Vancouver, where the average home price makes commission payouts all the more expensive, and in Toronto, where buyers must pay a provincial and a municipal land transfer tax.
Further, detached house construction costs are set to drop in Montreal and Toronto, according to Altus, by $5 and $10 per square foot, respectively. Altus predicts costs to remain flat in Vancouver for 2015.
In the condominium sector, however, construction costs are expected to rise in most markets. In Vancouver, costs are slated to increase by $10 per square foot, to between $205 and $250 per square foot. Altus expects similar increases in Calgary and Edmonton.

Japan In Wwii Essay

World War II occurred during the years of 1939-1945. World War II was global that involved several countries. In World War I, Japan was supporting the Allied countries, but as they continued to want control over China, things got worse. In 1940, Japan occupied French Indochina Vietnam upon agreement with the French Vichy government and joined the Axis powers of Germany and Italy. These actions increased Japan's conflict with the United States and Great Brittain. The resulting oil conflict caused Japan to capture the old rich Dutch East Indies known today as Indonesia and start a war with the United States and Great Brittain. Japan was well known and recognized for its strong military forces. During World War II, only the United States stood in Japan's path. The United States Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor was the main challenge to Japan. Japan knew that the American bases in the Philippines could threaten their lines of communication between their Japanese home islands and the East Indies. So they planned to destroy the United States navy force. One of the major contributions made to World War II occurred when Japan made a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. The attack lasted less than one hour and left 2,403 Americans dead, destroyed 188 American planes and damaged or destroyed 8 American battleships. This attack helped Japan to expand over a large territory of India and New Guinea in the south. Things began to change for Japan after June 1942. The battle of Midway was one of the bloodiest battles in history. In the spring of 1945, United States military forces invaded Okinawa. As a result of the United States victory at Midway, Japan lost 253 planes and 3005 lives. After this defeat, Japan never regained their power. The years to follow led to 45 years of struggle known as the "Cold War." Japan had

WWII Paper Tina Garris A series of treaties were in place that required countries not under attack to send military assistance to another country that was under attack. As a result, there was a domino effect of countries that were "required" to become part of the war even when they weren't involved. Another common element is the concept of "empire building". One way for young countries to expand and build up their resource base is to attack their neighbors and take over lands in war. There

The Narew is a 484-kilometer lowland river flowing through Belarus and Poland, where it disgorges into the Vistula river. The Narew is one of the favorite river for anglers and canoeists. Iti is a braided river, which is divided into several troughs, flowing separately, or connecting in certain parts into one course. The Narew Valley is called Polish Amazonia. Local residents used to travel around the floodplain areas of the river valley in flat-bottomed boats, using with long poles, which could be used to push the boats reaching the bottom of the river. Today the traditional flat-bottomed boats are a tourist attraction. Tourists may also enjoy a cruise on the Narew river in a special gondola, speedboat or on board of a cruise ship.


Crunch Digital: How does Google's Algorithm Work?
Today, I am going to dig into the algorithm and the nuts and bolts of how it functions. Tender update: nobody however Google knows the genuine determinations so there's a sure component of mystery included.
Each algorithm is in view of inputs and yields: Google's info is the record and the yield is the search engine result page (SERP). Data/pages in, results to the question SERP-style out.
Essentially, the whole reason for the algorithm is to discover what it peruses as pertinent results to your search query and afterward it gives you a index of results. How Google chooses what positions higher changes a touch over the long run. There's likewise the issue of penalties: Google doesn't essentially have characterized principles, yet it doubtlessly has things you aren't permitted to do. Since the framework is a algorithm taking into account components e.g. keywords, onsite SEO, local SEO, content.
Digital marketing is slightly like the cognizant control of that framework. We have a really smart thought of what positions well so we actualize that into our customers' destinations. This is additionally called Search Engine Optimization or SEO. SEO comes in three classes: black hat, grey hat, and white hat. Black hat is utilizing glared upon strategies to get a site positioning admirably. This is breaking the standards and you'll be deindexed and tossed out of the framework on the off chance that you utilize black hat. Grey hat is a tiny bit dodgy. White hat is utilizing "great" strategies to rank e.g. composing awesome content, utilizing online networking, onsite SEO.
The exact opposite thing to consider about how Google's algorithm functions is the upgrades. On the off chance that you take after anybody in the online marketing world on the web, you'll have known about them: Panda, Penguin, Pigeon and Hummingbird. And being zoo creatures, they're additionally upgrades to the algorithm. There are different upgrades yet these are the four generally important.
Panda was initially released in February 2011 and is intended to stop sites with poor content from positioning great. "Poor" could mean anything from copy, deceiving, or wrong/immaterial content. Digital advertisers now concur that great, unique and useful content is the best approach.
Penguin exists to stop spammy grey hat practices like purchasing or swapping links. Links are one of the fundamental principles of positioning so once upon a time, lots of online advertisers would purchase terrible links to spam a page up the rankings. This would get you into a bad situation now!
Pigeon accentuates basically local results. Pigeon was first released in July 2014. It generally provides more helpful, important and precise local search results that are attached all the more nearly to customary web search positioning signs. Google expressed that this new algorithm enhances their distance and area positioning parameters.
Hummingbird was released in September 2013 and mainly concentrates on the significance of an inquiry rather than simply individual keywords. Hummingbird is about making Google more intelligent and comprehension the context of a query, rather than simply pulling up results that have comparable keywords. Hummingbird is gonna be huge, going ahead.
These upgrades have changed the scene of digital marketing and how the algorithm functions. The algorithm is continually changing, however the fundamentals continue as before: locales that rank well have great content, natural links and their onsite SEO is appropriately situated up. Remember those three things and your site will begin positioning better!

Q: Passing files to SAGE on Mac OS X
*

*System: Mac OS X 10.9.2

*Sage Version 6.1.1, Release Date: 2014-02-04

*TexLive 2013 installation

I'm trying to pass a file generated by LaTex (sagetex.sty) that is in SAGE format to my local installation of SAGE.
$ sage test_sagetex_installation.sagetex.sage
dyld: Symbol not found: _rl_executing_keyseq
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/bash
Expected in: /Applications/sage/local/lib/libreadline.6.dylib
in /usr/local/bin/bash

I have confirmed that I can pass commands directly to SAGE through the command line:
$ sage -c 'print factor(35)'
5 * 7

It seems like this error has to do specifically with passing a file to sage. I'm a little lost about how to debug this error.

A: I got this same error today after installing Bash via homebrew, as I wanted to use the newer version that OSX doesn't ship with. I simply ran brew uninstall bash, and changed my default shell back to the old version of Bash that comes with OSX (3.2, I believe). After doing this, I was again able to run my old Sage files as in your example. If you too are using the newer version of Bash, you could either uninstall it like I did, or try changing your shell to the old version to see if that rectifies the problem. While I do not know a permanent solution, I am hoping this at least helps to pinpoint the issue.

The guide to the perfect selfie. Who said that getting likes on FB was easy.
1) Find a deserted spot where you won't get caught taking selfies. After all, that is some of the most embarrassing stuff that can happen in a humans life!
2) Make sure all the make up you put on is still there and add some more. After all, you dont want anybody to see that your skin has a black pore! Ai ai ai! Oh noes!
3) Find a good location, prefferably with awkward and random stuff in the background, cause that' after all what all the other selfies on FB has. Daaah!
4) Put your lovely face (that looks like a mask with all the makeup) in front of your Iphone camera. Make sure your face muscles are are stiff and weird while you put on a big smile and pretend you are having the time of your life.
5)Almost ready to press the photo-button! But, first make sure you stare into the camera with an empty gaze. Because after all the eyes are the windows to the soul! And you do not want everyone on FB to stare into your eyes looking for your shallow soul.
6) You are ready for action! Press the photo-button and make sure you get the really good selfies that show that you are having 'the time of your life' alone in a deserted forest. Cause everybody else is having so much fun on FB, and you cannot be any less fun then them.
7) Pick the best selfie and upload it on FB, Insta, Twitter and Google + ASAP! Then either enjoy all the likes, or cry over the abscensce of likes. And if you don't get any likes, well, then who cares about social media and likes anyway.
Here is my perfect selfie shot. Look and learn kids!
Thanks for stopping by! As mentioned in a earlier blogpost, Lucas (my hubby) and I made a World Cup film for 'actiecode' with this lovely 'voorspel' ferret on friday.

George felt sad and lonely, there he sat on the little mountain hill looking at the city he now had left for ever. He thought about what he had lef and therefore lost. He would never again piss on his neighboor lawn every time he came home from work. He would never again kiss his lovely wife, or tuck in his daughter. He was forver alone. A dreamer, with bigger plans for his life than wastin it in a contaminated city with no real people or feelings left. The city was just a shell containing scattered parts of lost and ruined individuals, getting throug the days smoking to many cigrarettes and selling their soul to to earn money for the big companies, bearly getting by themselves after the months salary was paid. George shed a tear, and while staring into the bewitching flames he noticed a moth flapping quickly and eagerly towards the burning fire. He pointed his finger towards it, trying to snap it in the opposite direction, but the moth ignored his gesture and vanished in the flames. George took a sip of his beer, got up and yelled at the silouette of the city. ''You see you f****ng bastards, thats what happens when you reach towards something you never can get. You strive and strive looking for a bright spot, something better than what you have, and when you find it you become unhappy because you realize how awful you've had it, and then are you blinded and burned to death with grief''. After this George sat down and watched the fire again, before he smoked his pipe and fell asleep, lucky at least he had discovered the thruth about life.


Wow, people are really choosing sides between Vortex and Firehawk like that dress that was either black & blue or white & gold. Cannot wait to see the announcement.
No, Toyota had a private event from 10am-7pm on Saturday. The general public was allowed in starting at 7pm and crowds started to form around 5pm to get in Saturday. No more private events this year, so normal Saturday hours are 11am-1am until October 27. You should have no problems.
Weather will not keep me from enjoying the festivities this year. Celebrating my 45th birthday at KI is going to be amazing with or without rides. Last time was 20 years ago at WDW. If anyone knows, when was the last time KI was open on NYE. I would imagine sometime in the 80's or possible 90's PKI Winterfest but if anyone has an answer this is the forum to let it be answered.
8/25 is also GE day at the park. GE has a large presence in the area with GE aviation so they will have lots of people in the park for this group. To avoid large crowds, 9/3 is gonna be your best day to visit the park. 9/3 also has dollar days which special food, drinks and other specials are only $1. Only downside is that the park is open 10AM - 8PM.
The benefits for the early renewal will probably be announced when they make an official announcement for 2019 season passes on sale.
I agree that it is good for the park to sell later as they are open until December, but no matter what date the park chooses, procrastinators will still wait till the last minute to purchase, and then people will complain they missed the gold pass sale. The gold pass status I don't show as diminished as people will take advantage of early renewal pricing and get the benefits. I would like to see the regular passes disappear and just offer gold & platinum and in the future offer the Pre-K pass as other CF parks are doing.

Kenya To Hold Its First Ever Olympic Marathon Trials
Athletics Kenya has not been happy with recent performances at global championships.
October 15, 2015 Mario Fraioli

The second weekend in February of next year got a lot more interesting on Thursday, as Athletics Kenya announced that they'll hold its first ever Olympic Trials for the marathon on February 14 at a yet-to-be-determined venue. The U.S. Olympic Trials Marathon will take place on Feb. 13 in Los Angeles, the day before the Los Angeles Marathon. At both Trials events, the top-3 male and female finishers will represent their respective countries at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
"This is a new policy, that the best way to select the marathon team is to hold a national trial early enough for Rio," Athletics Kenya director of competitions David Okeyo told The Times of India. "The selected athletes must run their last marathon events in February."
Athletics Kenya has February 14 listed on their website's event calendar as the date for the "Marathon Trials for Team Kenya to RIO" but no further information has been posted. The staging of a Trials race to select their Olympic marathon team is huge deviation from the past practices of Athletics Kenya, whose officials would handpick the athletes based on a set of ambiguous, constantly changing criteria. Prior to 2012, Athletics Kenya had traditionally used the Boston and London marathons as unofficial selection races to determine who would represent the country at the Olympic Games and world championships, but chairman Isaiah Kiplagat deviated from that practice in the lead-up to the London Games. Geoffrey Mutai was left off the Kenyan Olympic team in 2012—presumedly for dropping out of the 2012 Boston Marathon due to heat issues—despite winning both the 2011 Boston and New York City marathons in record time, as was Patrick Makau, the world-record holder at the time who dropped out of the 2012 London Marathon. Wilson Kipsang, the 2012 London Marathon champion, was named to the team, along with world champion Abel Kirui and 25,000m and 30,000m world-record holder Moses Mosop, who finished second to Mutai in his marathon debut at Boston in 2011.
"I did not expect to be left out of the team," Mutai told All Africa in 2012. "What is more painful is that after being selected in the initial team of six, I was not informed again of the decision to leave me and I only learnt of it through the media."
Lack of depth has never been an issue for Kenya in the marathon, but Athletics Kenya officials have become increasingly disappointed with the country's marathon performances at global championships. Heading into the London Games, Kenyans dominated World Marathon Majors Series races and posted many of the world's leading times on both the men's and women's sides. At the 2012 Olympic Marathon, Kirui and Kipsang took silver and bronze, respectively, while Emmanual Mutai—who was originally not named to the team but replaced the injured Mosop—finished a disappointing 17th. On the women's side, Priscah Jeptoo claimed silver, two-time London Marathon champion Mary Keitany finished fourth and multiple world champion Edna Kiplagat crossed in 20th place.
At the recent world championships in Beijing, Kipsang and Dennis Kimetto—the current world-record holder—both dropped out of the men's marathon. Mark Korir was Kenya's only male finisher, crossing the finish line in 22nd place. Helah Kiprop took silver for Kenya on the women's side, while Jemima Sumgong and Edna Kiplagat finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
"We saw the results in the 2012 London Olympics, and both the 2013 and 2015 world championships in Moscow and Beijing—which were not very satisfactory for a nation that has dominated top marathon races in the world," Okeyo said.

Q: Why do we not need Christoffel to differentiate contravariant component of a vector? OK, perhaps a very stupid question but I am going nuts thinking about it. In page-106 of Pavel Grinfeld's Tensor Calculus book, we consider a vector $V= V^i Z_i$ and we consider the derivative of this expression with coordinates $Z^j$, we have:
$$ \frac{\partial V}{\partial Z^j} =  \frac{\partial V^i}{\partial Z^j} Z_i + V^i \frac{\partial Z_i}{\partial Z^j} \tag{1}$$
Now to differentiate the second term, the covariant basis, we use the Christoffel symbols defined as:
$$\Gamma_{jm}^k Z_k = \frac{\partial Z_i}{\partial Z^j}$$
In equation one , in the first term, $V^i$ a component of a $(1,0)$ tensor, but no Christoffel's came when differentiating it. Why is that? Conceptually speaking it is clear what Christoffel's are but I am having an algorithmic hangup here..

A: I figured it out now. The answer was in this video.
Firstly, the most important thing to understand is the way the Covariant derivative acts on a vector and the way the derivative with coordinate acts is different. In the simplified case when were everything is calculated in $\mathbb{R^3}$, calculating the rate of change of the vector by the partials and by that of the connection is the same.
In the calculation I have shown above, we can the Christoffel popped out of the partial of the basis. Suppose we instead hit the vector with a connection:
$$ \nabla_{\alpha} (V) = \nabla_{\alpha} (V^i \vec{ Z_i})  = \nabla_{\alpha}(V^i) \vec{Z_i} + V^i \nabla_{\alpha} (\vec{Z_i})$$
Now the interesting point is that the covariant derivative kills the basis. We have,
$$ \nabla_{\alpha} (\vec{Z_i}) = \frac{\partial \vec{Z_i}}{\partial Z^k} - \Gamma_{ik}^m \vec{Z_m}$$
By the definition of the covariant derivative of a $(1,0)$ tensor. Now the thing is that $\frac{\partial \vec{Z_i} }{\partial Z^k} =  \Gamma_{ik}^m \vec{Z_m}$ , so the above expression evaluates to zero.

Q: MySQLi fetch_all Error with Consecutive Calls I've set up a class to handle my MySQLi calls. The calls are working as they should, so no problems there.
I recently removed the result handling from my class's query method to two separate setter methods. There is now an error resulting from two consecutive fetch_all calls.
The previous (working) code with a single fetch_all call loads results into the two arrays res_rows and res_cols:
// Convert results into two sets of values
// and store in properties
// $res_rows=results by row (column names in element 0)
//           Each row is an indexed array
// $res_cols=results by column (associative arrays)
//           Key is the column name; Value is an array

$results=$res->fetch_all(MYSQLI_ASSOC);

// $colNames is an array of the column names
$colNames=array_keys($results[0]);

// Rows
foreach($results as $r) {
    $this->res_rows[]=array_values($r);
}
array_unshift($this->res_rows,$colNames);

// Columns

$vals=array();

// Count the number columns in the query
$numCols=count($colNames);

// Iterate through the columns
for($i=0;$i<$numCols;$i++) {

    $col=$colNames[i];
    $storage=array();

    foreach($results as $r) {
        $storage[]=$r[$colNames[$i]];
    }

    $vals[]=$storage;
}

$this->res_cols=array_combine($colNames,$vals);

I've moved this code into two methods setRes_rows and setRes_cols and called them sequentially (see code). Each method pulls results from the result object using fetch all.
$this->setRes_rows($res);
$this->setRes_cols($res);

What happens is that the first call behaves as expected, and the second call returns an empty array.
If I reverse the calls (e.g. setRes_cols first), the same thing happens (first call works as expected; second call is empty). So I know the code is good. I even changed all the variable names in one of the methods with no effect.
I dumped all properties and methods on the result object between calls and it doesn't look like it changes. But for some reason that second fetch_all does not work.
The easy fix is for me to use a single fetch_all then call my methods. But I'm interested in knowing if there's anything weird I'm missing.
Thanks, everyone.

A: It looks like you need to reset the result pointer after a fetch_all.
I didn't find anything in the docs specifically for fetch_all - only about resetting after a fetch_assoc(), where we can find a reference to data_seek(): http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli-result.data-seek.php
So here's what you should do:
before the second fetch_all() do a

Without support from other European countries or an alternative plan for dealing with the refugee crisis, the German chancellor's open-door policy is not sustainable.
Angela Merkel has survived several crises in the past. But her open-door policy toward the refugees fleeing the wars in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan has proved to be the biggest challenge to her leadership since she became German chancellor in 2005.
The challenge is so big that Merkel is losing support from her Christian Democratic Union (CDU), while its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union, has repeatedly asked Merkel to impose a cap on the number of refugees entering Germany.
Some 40 conservative parliamentarians recently wrote to Merkel demanding a change of policy. And during an acrimonious meeting of the CDU's parliamentary group, a senior party figure told Merkel's critics to "shut up." Rarely has Merkel had to face such internal opposition, having been adept for so long at keeping dissent at bay. But her critics are no longer prepared to remain silent.
CDU deputies told Carnegie Europe that when they return to their constituencies, they are bombarded with questions from the public about why Germany has to keep its doors open to the refugees and for how much longer they will keep coming. The politicians have no answers.
Merkel has refused to introduce any limits, even though some 3,000 refugees and migrants keep entering the country per day, mainly into Bavaria from Austria. Germany has already taken in 1.1 million people over the past twelve months amid immense support from volunteers and civil society movements that have sprung up to help struggling local councils.
But the sexual assaults on women in Cologne, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, and other cities during New Year's Eve celebrations—mostly by North Africans, according to the police—are dampening that enthusiasm. The German interior and justice ministries have begun seeking ways to deport people to Tunisia and Morocco, as these countries are deemed safe. But these states are unwilling to cooperate with Berlin.
Germany is also stepping up the deportation of people from Western Balkan countries, from where thousands of economic migrants have entered Germany in recent months. The EU's plan for Turkey to tighten its borders and allow refugees to work in that country has, so far, produced few results. None of the above measures is silencing Merkel's critics.
Closer to home, Werner Faymann, the Austrian chancellor, decided on January 20 to reinforce border controls and set a limit on the number of refugees entering the country. "If there is not an all-European solution, countries such as Austria are obliged to take national measures," said Sebastian Kurz, the Austrian foreign minister.
Sigmar Gabriel, the leader of Germany's Social Democratic Party and the country's economy minister, told delegates at the World Economic Forum in Davos that Austria's decision was a "cry for help" from Europe. Serbia also said it would close its borders if the refugees could enter Austria or Germany.
The borders of Europe are closing. But #Germany is holding out. Why?
In short, the borders of Europe are closing. But Germany is holding out. Why?
Apart from a deep moral belief in assisting the refugees, Merkel's fear—and that of her finance minister, Wolfgang Schäuble—is that if Berlin shut its borders, such a move would precipitate the end of the euro and the end of the EU's single market. This, they believe, is what is at stake for Germany and Europe.
Yet no matter how often Merkel has sought support from her EU allies and warned them of the consequences of closing the bloc's internal borders, such support has not been forthcoming. Most EU countries, even those that have had open-door policies toward refugees, such as Sweden, have battened down the hatches. Increasingly, Merkel is isolated. Her options become more limited by the day.
Merkel has pleaded for more time, as she has done in the past. The EU will hold a summit in mid-February to discuss yet again the refugee crisis, which the EU has proved incapable of dealing with. European solidarity and the legal commitment to helping refugees have all but disappeared.
Merkel told a meeting of Christian Social Union officials in Bavaria on January 20 that she would be presenting new proposals at the summit. "Then we can draw an interim conclusion, then another interim conclusion, and then we will see where we stand," she said. Those words will hardly reassure her party or her coalition partners, the Social Democrats. They are becoming increasingly nervous as the coalition faces three big regional elections this coming March. For the first time, this will show the extent of public support for Merkel's policies.
Meanwhile, Mark Rutte, the prime minister of the Netherlands, which currently chairs the EU's ministerial council meetings, said "we have to think about a plan B" for the refugee crisis.
Merkel has never spoken about any plan B. To do so would be to renege on her commitment to welcome refugees and to maintain the Schengen system of open borders. And it would vindicate all those other governments, particularly in Central Europe, that have literally closed their doors to refugees by building fences along their borders.
If #Merkel has a plan B for #refugees, there's no sign of it so far.
Merkel hasn't yet reached that point. Or if she and Schäuble do have a plan B, there's no sign of it so far.
#GermanAngst... This is so because the whole strategy of refugees intake was flawed from on set. Angela Merkel and her CDU party failed to bring in the so-called #FriendsOfSyria -a coalition of Arab countries formed to intervene in the Syrian government and Opposition groups who want Bashir Al-Asad out of power. This coalition of nation are critical and who have form a perfect bait as "Plan B" that would absorb some fleeing refugees. Because they are rich arab nations and they are closer home. But unfortunately Merkel went in with both legs before realizing she could drowned in what appears to be a shallow water wave of refugees, and surprisingly, this tide is becoming endless. In summary, the EU & Merkel failed to develop a concerted plan with the neighbors of Syria. And the deal with Turkey is crooked because Erdogan is unfair and self... It's surprising to see Germany would promise Erdogan €3Billion to accommodate fleeing from Syria. The truth is ugly, & difficult to swallow but lie is colorful and attractive, hence it sells faster. What is right is often relative base on the perspective from which one chooses to examine the whole scenario of Syria crisis and how things went ballistic.


Harvey Weinstein has been officially ousted from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in response to a string of sexual misconduct allegations lodged against the disgraced movie producer.
A rep for Weinstein did not immediately respond to EW's request for comment.
The 54-member board — which includes industry members like Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Whoopi Goldberg — announced plans on Wednesday to convene and determine an appropriate action after the New York Times and The New Yorker published reports that revealed decades sexual misconduct claims. Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, Kate Beckinsale, Heather Graham, Rose McGowan, Cara Delevingne, and Mira Sorvino are just some of the women who've come forward with accusations of harassment and assault.
"The Academy finds the conduct described in the allegations against Harvey Weinstein to be repugnant, abhorrent, and antithetical to the high standards of the Academy and the creative community it represents," AMPAS said in a statement earlier this week.
Weinstein was also fired from his position at The Weinstein Company.


My purpose this week is to show the basic facts of this book in addition to asking the Mormon people a few questions to mull over in their own private times. Most of the verses in this book are so ridiculous that it's hard to believe people are actually comforted or encouraged by God when they read through it.
If there were multiple authors of this book, why is the writing style of each so much alike?
Why do they make the same grammatical errors?
Why is the phrase "and it came to pass" used so much? What purpose does it serve in "scripture"?
If these folks are engraving their message upon plates of brass, why do they have so much time on their hands and materials to write long drawn out verses of how much time had passed? Is it because there's nothing else to write about?
Is it possible for God to make grammatical errors?
Fourth Nephi is a short little book emphasizing the lives of the Nephites and Lamanites living in peaceful times and then walking away from their god.
This is exactly the opposite of what Jesus tells us in the Bible. John 14:23 says He will come to tarry with us and make His abode with us.
Every single person became a believer (vs. 2). Really? Again, the stories in the Book of Mormon are bigger and better than the Bible.
In verse ten, Nephi tells us the Nephites did "wax strong and did multiply exceedingly fast and became an exceedingly fair and delightsome people".
Exceedingly is used exceedingly too much, don't you think?
Why did they become white when they believed God?
If you're a person of color and a member of the LDS Church, how do these types of verses make you feel about God?
I have to tell you, when I was Mormon and read this stuff it made me feel less than a dog. I was convinced God was less than pleased with me and my coloring was proof of his disdain.
Ten verses later some of the people would revolt, and decide to become Lamanites (up to this time it was peaceful living and there were no more "ites" – vs. 17).
Truth: real believers don't revolt against God.
Mormon also reports that people had multiplied exceedingly and became "rich because of their prosperity in Christ" (vs. 23).
Moral to this story? It seems that God only likes rich white people who have lots and lots of kids. For the life of me, I saw absolutely nothing in this "work" that would provide hope for a Mormon or give a continued reason for faith in God.
I can't figure out what this story has to do with God. If you do, let me know!
A little over the halfway point in this story the Lamanites threw the Nephites into prisons which were "rent in twain"; Nephites were also thrown into furnaces of fire where they didn't get burned and dens with wild beasts where the disciples of Jesus played with them "as a child with a lamb" (vs. 32-33).
By the time this book ends, Amos had died and his brother Ammaron was keeping the records of Nephi. People everywhere were living in sin, except of course, a few righteous Nephites.
And finally, why were these people using Greek and Latin words in addition to lifting phrases from the KJV while living in Mesoamerica speaking "Reformed Egyptian"?
Why did the translation come out in Jacobean English which wasn't part of the American English language used during the early nineteenth century?
Confused yet? That's exactly where the LDS Church wants for their followers to be.
I just returned from my niece Felicia's funeral in Utah this week. At that funeral the bishop quoted from the Book of Mormon, telling those of us in the audience that someday we'd all "return to our Heavenly Father" to become like him. No one in the audience was placated, in fact my other niece Angie (Felicia's sister), sobbed aloud at the end of his short talk.
That scenario is what I think of when reading through these empty passages in Joseph Smith's literary endeavors. There is nothing of substance to any of this.
Pray with us won't you? These dear people need our compassion and our ongoing desire to see them come to the real Jesus.


M2C Racing has just released their newest idea; the 'Clutch Bell Retaining Washer'. This little washer captures the bearing and clutch bell to keep everything in place, even in the event of bearing failure. There is a small step on the bearing side that keeps the bearing shield from hitting the washer, and allows the clutch bell to spin freely while trapping the bearings and shield in place. With this $5 purchase, it could potentially save you a $100 fix as often times when a clutch bearing fails it ends in catastrophic damage to the clutch bell, spur gear, possibly the fuel tank, and more. Designed to retain a 5×10 bearing, and will work on all vehicles where the clutch bell and bearings sit flush with the end of the crank.

A spatially integrated framework for assessing socioecological drivers of carnivore decline
Gálvez, Nicolás, Guillera-Arroita, Gurutzeta, St. John, Freya A.V., Schuttler, Elke, Macdonald, David W., Davies, Zoe G. (2018) A spatially integrated framework for assessing socioecological drivers of carnivore decline. Journal of Applied Ecology, 55 (3). pp. 1393-1405. ISSN 0021-8901. E-ISSN 1365-2664.

1. Habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation are key threats to the long-term persistence of carnivores, which are also susceptible to direct persecution by people. Integrating natural and social science methods to examine how habitat configuration/quality and human-predator relations may interact in space and time to effect carnivore populations within human-dominated landscapes will help prioritise conservation investment and action effectively.
3. We apply our methodological framework to an empirical case study, the threatened guiña (Leopardus guigna) in the temperate forest ecoregion of southern Chile, to illustrate its use. Existing literature suggests that the species is declining due to habitat loss, fragmentation and persecution in response to livestock predation. Data used in modelling were derived from four seasons of camera-trap surveys, remote-sensed images and household questionnaires.
5. Synthesis and applications. By integrating ecological and social data into a single modelling framework, our study demonstrates the value of an interdisciplinary approach to assessing the potential threats to a carnivore. It has allowed us to tease apart effectively the relative importance of different potential extinction pressures, make informed conservation recommendations and prioritise where future interventions should be targeted. Specifically for the guiña, we have identified that human-dominated landscapes with large intensive farms can be of conservation value, as long as an appropriate network of habitat patches are maintained within the matrix. Conservation efforts to secure the long-term persistence of the species should focus on reducing habitat fragmentation, rather than human persecution in our study system.

Marlyn Lewis, the compiler of the data, is the Chief of Finance for the Public Department of Health for the State of Oregon. Long interested in genealogy and royal connections, he began this project while tracing his own family connection to the Plantagenet dynasty. He has a master's degree in accounting and language skills that enable him to take advantage of non-English genealogical source material. The Ancestry of Elizabeth of York is the product of his many years of research and countless hours of concentrated data entry. The quest for this information has led Mr. Lewis to research both American libraries and other specialized libraries in various countries around the world.
John Stuart is a resident of Southern California where he is an executive with a high-technology company. His interest in medieval genealogy was stimulated by a relative who also traced a branch of their family to the Plantagenet lineage. Reference to his computer database on this subject matter caused him to formulate a series of detailed and observant questions for Mr. Lewis as excerpts of the Elizabeth of York ahnenliste were published in The Plantagenet Connection.
Mr. Lewis incorporated many of Mr. Stuart's observations in subsequent versions of the file. Portions of the exchange between Mr. Lewis and Mr. Stuart have been published in The Plantagenet Connection. Mr. Stuart also played a central role in preparing The Ancestry of Elizabeth of York for publication.
Kenneth Harper Finton is a Colorado resident and publisher and editor of the afore-mentioned The Plantagenet Connection, published since 1993. He is also author of From Tribes to Nations, A Family Saga from the 6th to the 20th Centuries, a genealogically-oriented historical chronicle of the evolution of European royal houses. In addition to his passion for matters historical, Mr. Finton is a publisher, a recording artist and a songwriter.

Elizabeth of York was one of the more interesting figures in the medieval world of royal politics. In April 1483, Edward IV, the first Plantagenet King of England from the House of York, died suddenly.
He left two sons, Edward and Richard, and five daughters, of whom Elizabeth of York was the eldest. Edward IV's will named his brother, Richard, as protector of the two boys. Richard, who had enjoyed considerable power and influence while Edward IV was alive, saw that position threatened on his death by the influence of Anthony Woodville, Earl Rivers, brother of Edward IV's wife, Elizabeth, and governor of the royal heirs. To forestall an immediate coronation of the young Edward as Edward V, which would have eliminated Richard's role as protector, Richard concocted a theory under which the boys were considered illegitimate and declared himself, RichardIII, King of England. The boys were taken to the Tower of London, never to emerge, purportedly murdered in about September 1483 on the orders of Richard III.

London's Lost Rivers From Above: The Westbourne
By M@ Last edited 116 months ago
M@ London's Lost Rivers From Above: The Westbourne
The Westbourne opening. Much bigger than a M@.
A close up of the Westbourne conduit at Sloane Square.
Once inside, the tunnel soon bifurcates. The floor is slimey and slippery, but there is no smell.
A plaque on the long-defunct Bird in Hand pub marks a major flooding of the Westbourne.
Both passages lead to strong steel doors, which open to release flood waters. Best not stand here during a heavy downpour.
A plaque on Kilburn High Road marks the site of an ancient bridge over the Westbourne.
Entrance to the Westbourne on Chelsea foreshore.
The waters of the Westbourne once flowed into the Serpentine, ahead. Since the early 19th Century, they have been diverted east of the lake - beneath where this photo was taken from.
A steel conduit carries the Westbourne over the tracks at Sloane Square.
One of several watery mews along the Westbourne route.
The source of the Westbourne - Whitestone Pond on Hampstead Heath, also said to be the highest point in London.
Helping you find the sights, sounds, and occasional smells of our buried waterways.
Along with the Tyburn and Fleet, the River Westbourne is one of the 'big three' lost watercourses north of the Thames, now buried and used as a sewer. It shares a similar point of origin to its siblings, rising in Whitestone Pond on Hampstead Heath. From there, it flows down through Hampstead, Kilburn, Paddington, Hyde Park, on to Knightsbridge, and out into the Thames at Chelsea.
Of the three, the Westbourne is the most accessible. You can even get inside it by clambering down to the foreshore at Chelsea Embankment during low tide. The opening is obvious, taking up half the height of the Embankment wall. You can penetrate perhaps twenty metres or so before firm steel hatches block the way.

Londonist's Map of Subterranean London.
The next obvious (and famous) evidence of the river comes at Sloane Square Tube station, where a metal conduit carries the waters over the tracks. The Westbourne can then be traced through the streets of Chelsea and Belgravia (see map for route) and on in to Hyde Park via Knightsbridge (the name thought to come from a watery crossing point).
Westbourne water originally fed the Serpentine, but is now diverted East of the lake. North of the park, a bridge once carried Bayswater Road over the Westbourne, where the Swan Inn still stands. You can clearly see the ancient river valley as a dip in the road at this point.
The route becomes harder to follow once we enter the Paddington and Maida Vale areas. Names such as Upbrook Mews and Conduit Mews offer reminders. More signs can be found in Kilburn, where a plaque marks the point where the stream was once bridged by the Roman Watling Street (now Kilburn High Road). Further plaques commemorate the Kilburn wells (a spa on the banks of the Westbourne), and a flooding event from the 1970s on West End Lane. Beside the latter, you can clearly hear fast-moving water from a nearby drain. The journey from here up to Hampstead Heath is somewhat confused by the branching of differnet tributaries. The only other hint of the river we came across was the sound of running water at the Northern end of Reddington Gardens.
Further (and, frankly, much better) pictures of the inside of the Westbourne sewer can be found here.
