Bicycles are the cheapest source of transportation. It was introduced in 19th century. According to recent research, bicycles are now double in numbers as compared to automobiles. The principal use of bicycle is transportation. It is also used for other purposes such as recreation, children's toys, fitness, courier services, bicycle racing, etc.
Road bicycle is the most common type of bicycle used all over the world. This bicycle became famous in 1970s. It is designed for the purpose of transportation especially. It consists of a very light frame, curved handlebars which is dropped downwards, narrow seat and very thin wheels. Due to its light body it has less air resistance. Its thin tires have less road friction. It is ideal for the speed of 15 to 20 MPH. Output of this bicycle is maximizes with very less efforts made by the rider. This bicycle is very famous because of its efficient performance and durability. With the passage of time technology is improving its design gradually for the purpose of maximum comforts for riders.
Mountain Bicycles became famous in 1980s It is mostly manufactured in Japan and China and Australia. This bicycle is designed for the purpose of riding on gravel and hiking trails and all those areas on which it is not possible to travel on road bicycles.
Wide tires with flexible and strong shocks absorb bumps up to maximum effect. It has 15 gears. Its low gears made paddling up the hill very light and easy.
Handlebars are positioned up which put rider upright and as a result less strain on his back. Its design has improved a great deal but concept of fat tires; low gears and upright position of handlebars remain unchanged.
Mountain bicycles despite its comfort and reliability are slightly heavy and slow on pavements. To solve this issue hybrid bicycles were introduced in late 1980s. This bicycle was designed especially by keeping in mind that it should be equally good on roads and off-roads as well. It has a combination of features that existed both in road bicycles and mountain bicycles. It has flat upright handlebars similar to mountain bicycles but narrow tires copied form road bicycle. As similar to mountain bicycles, it also has wide range of gears mostly high gears which make riding easily in streets. It doesn't have a strong body but it is faster than mountain bicycles and also more comfortable than road bicycles.
This bicycle seems to be strange in appearance. It has a big seat. Paddles are in front of the seat in contrast to others bicycles in which paddles are down beneath the seat. The rider has to stretch his legs in front of him to paddle this bicycle. Recumbent bicycles are introduced with so many variations. Such bicycles are also fast and comfortable. These bicycles are more expensive as compared to other bicycles. It is heavier and has a complicated design.
Tandem bicycle is made for two persons. It has two seats. The person in front is called CAPTAIN. Captain paddles, operates the brakes, shift the gears and steers the bicycle. The person sitting at the back is called STOKER. His duty is to paddle the bicycle only. Tandem bicycles are expensive and not easy to drive. It has a complicated design. This type of bicycle is a modern creation and more popular than single bicycles. It is now widely used in European countries.

Q: Fixed Position Nav CSS3 Transitions / Hover Effects Not Working + Other Strange Bugs https://4djustice.com
Issue 1 (FIXED):
Prior to scrolling the menu works fine with it's css3 transitions and hover effects and pseudo -selectors. However, when you scroll down, a fixed css class is added with jquery. When it's added, the menu starts behaving erratically (hovering doesn't work, dropdown menu is missing, etc.)
Issue 2 (FIXED):
There's a strange space below the footer and I'm not sure where it's coming from. I checked all the CSS, but it doesn't seem to be a margin, padding, or float issue.
This is coming from my plugin for the mobile nav menu. This is the code, which as I understand it, reads the height of the body and sets the #sb-site container to that height. However, I don't know why the height of the body extends past the footer.
// Inline CSS
    function css() {
    // Set minimum height.
        $site.css('minHeight', ''); // Reset minimum height.
        $site.css('minHeight', $('body').height() + 'px'); // Set minimum height of the site to the minimum height of the body.

    Some more code in the function that I don't think is relevant.

    }

Issue 3 (FIXED):
Fixed menus seem to be working on every page, except this one: http://justice.allureprojects.com/articles/public-defender-vs-private-attorney. This page has the same single.php template as any of the other articles.
BTW, I'm testing with the latest version of Chrome.
Thanks in advance!!
UPDATE (2/1/2017): All issues on the site have been fixed.

A: Issue #1: Works in FireFox not Chrome. You need to show relevant code
Issue #2:  You have an inline style (style="min-height: 2023px;") thats getting put on your #sb-site wrapper. Removing this fixes your footer problem.
It's probably getting put on there by a javascript plugin.
Issue #3: The fixed nav and side nav are both working fine for me on this page (Test: FireFox, Chrome, IE9+)

Messaging App Line to Open Digital Theme Park in Thailand
Kankanit Wiriyasajja and Kaweewit Kaewjinda, Associated Press
- Jun 24, 2017 1:30 pm
If you build it they will come — and text. Is Line Village Bangkok a next-generation theme park? We'll see.
— Dennis Schaal
The text-messaging service Line plans to inaugurate an indoor digital theme park in Thailand's capital, seeking to squeeze maximum advantage from its popularity in the country, its second biggest market after Japan.
Line Village Bangkok will begin operating Friday as a retail store, selling dolls and similar merchandise, but later this year will expand to a three-story amusement complex with virtual reality rides. Line stores already exist in Japan, South Korea, China and Taiwan, but the Thai location will be the first with an indoor park.
Kampanart Wonghongkul, the project's chief executive, said he hopes the 500 million baht ($14.7 million) theme park will attract more than 12 million visitors a year. Tourism is a major revenue earner in Thailand, bringing in $71.4 billion last year.
Much of Line's appeal comes from its stickers that can be attached to messages, especially the company's anthropomorphic animal figures, such as Brown the bear and Cony the rabbit. Line Village is located in Siam Square, for decades a hangout for young Thais enthralled with fashion and the culture of cute — there is already a Hello Kitty cafe located there.
Since its launch in 2011, Japan-based, Korean-owned Line has amassed more 200 million users worldwide. Thailand has around 44 million cellphone users and 94 percent of them have the Line application installed on their phones, Kampanart said.
Sakdipat Thanee, a 27-year-old lawyer, was one of several shoppers invited for a special store preview Thursday.
"I think it's hard to find Line merchandise in Thailand," he said. "You can only buy them from aboard or ask someone to bring them in. For people who love Line characters like me, having a Line store here means that I can easily shop here. I can meet Brown and Cony much more easily."

About What She Did
She's your best friend. And your worst enemy…
Beth is a woman running from her demons. Moving to Glasgow to escape the tragedy that ended with the death of her ex-boyfriend, she's trying to build a new life, to tentatively find new love. But her past is following her, and try as she might, she can't shake the feeling that someone is watching her every move.
Victoria is unhappily married to Greg. On their wedding day he told her he would love her until they grew old, but now he's becoming secretive, staying out for 'business meetings' and growing distant from his wife. After finding incriminating texts on his phone, Victoria contacts an old friend for support, the one person in her life that has never let her down yet.
Lydia knows she is the only one that can help Victoria. Jumping straight back into their friendship, despite the four-year absence from Victoria's life, she vows to stop at nothing to help her get revenge. Good friends will do anything for each other, right?
But Lydia has made a new friend in Beth, and now, none of them are safe…
Three women. Three stories. One devastating secret.
My review of What She Did
What She Did is a tense psychological thriller that gripped me from the very first chapter. It's a dark, disturbing and honest portrayal of mysogony, domestic violence and that women are often found struggling in a world dominated by men.
This book features three very strong women. All with flaws, insecurities and all very relatable. Beth is fleeing from an abusive past while trying to build a new life for herself. I really engaged with Beth. I liked her as a character. We then have Victoria who is trapped within a failing marriage. She suspects her husband of cheating and seeks the advice of an estranged and once best friend, Lydia, to help her unearth the truth.
As the story progresses, the three separate lives become entwined and what you get is a gripping, hold your breath type of a read as you honestly don't know what is coming next. It's also one of those books that is incredibly hard to put down. I began to care about these characters and the fate that awaited them.
The real joy in this book are the many twists and turns along the way, plus the huge twist at the end. It's an engaging read that has you rooting for these women , all of whom have faced some difficulties in life and who have been bullied and betrayed by men.
What She Did is a thought provoking read that makes you question what is right and what is wrong. The lines become very blurred with the stories these women live through, and you do find yourself asking, what would I do?
Ultimately, What She Did is a psychological thriller that gets the blood pumping. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
What She Did is published on 26 June by Hera Books.

Book Visit
Emmaus Trail
The privilege of living in the hometown of the Holy Family
The Karam family in the Basilica of the Annunciation, Nazareth | Photo: courtesy of Gosayna
Nazareth. A young man meets a young woman. After seeing each other only two more times, he proposes, feeling strongly that it is the will of God. They get married two years later and they go to live in another country. They start raising their family there. However, after some years living abroad, he feels a strong calling to "Go home". So, leaving everything, he took his family, and went back to Nazareth.
Does this story sound familiar to you?
"I see a lot of resemblance between Habib and Saint Joseph," says Gosayna. She and Habib met for the first time in the Grotto of the Annunciation. Although both of them are from Nazareth, he was living in the United States and had come home for his sister's wedding. Gosayna was living in Australia at the time, and was in Nazareth, her hometown, to visit her family. After meeting a couple of times more, once by the Sea of Galilee, they both saw God's will in their budding love. Habib and Gosayna, both returned to the countries they were living in, but each had a clear understanding that distance would not undermine their decision to get married and be together.
They were married two years later in the very first place they met, the Basilica of the Annunciation. Afterward, they went to the United States to start their new life together. With the birth of their first son, "life was full of joy and love," Habib says, but one morning, "we woke up to find that Akram had left us to be united with His heavenly Father." Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) had claimed the life of their five-month old son. Though devastated, they embraced that cross, trusting in God's plans.
Time went by and they had two more sons and a daughter. But Habib and Gosayna's life was to change radically once more. "Go home". This was the calling Habib felt deep inside that God was asking of them. Without answers to all their questions, they sold everything and returned to their hometown, Nazareth. A few years later, they had another daughter. As Gosayna likes to describe herself, she is "a proud mum of five: Akram flying in heaven, Christopher with a great heart, Matthew with a brilliant mind, Serene with a lively soul and Katrina with an independent spirit!"
Life in the Holy Land is not easy for Christians, as they are a minority and face many challenges. However, as Gosayna says, "there is something unique, spiritual, special, and honoring to have the privilege to live in the same land the Holy Family walked, the same hometown as the Holy Family. As the years pass by, the details and fruits of why God willed for us to return to live in Nazareth is revealed," says Gosayna. "To grow deeper in faith and spirituality; for our children to grow surrounded by the love of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends; as a couple, to be instruments of God in our parish and community, serving when, where, and whom He wills."
In the year of St. Joseph, living very close to where he lived more than twenty centuries ago, Habib and Gosayna look at his example as "a spouse, a father, a brother, a teacher, a worker, a neighbor and more; in all roles he was a faithful son of God." It is really a saint with which any Christian can identify.

Pedestrians are not always aware of how difficult it can be for you the learner driver to be able to judge and stop in time, especially in the early stages of learning.
When you first start out driving it's like a juggling act until you master the controls, and your concentration may be more on what you are trying to acheive inside the cart, which is why your driving instructor is there to guide and protect you, keeping you and other road users safe.
But as you gain in confidence and ability you'll need to start being aware of the dangers pedestrians pose to drivers.
The younger pedestrians often have little sense of danger and will walk or run into the road without a thought for drivers. And the elderly might struggle with sight and hearing and make misjudgements when crossing the road.
Pedestrians can quickly step unexpectedly into the road and cause drivers to take action, so awareness is a good skill to master early.
Some places to always be especially wary around are schools, the vast amount of students on the pavements jostling for space can often lead to them suddenly stepping onto the road or being pushed onto it, always drive at a speed suitable to the conditions.
Other places to be more vigilant would be bus stops, around parked cars, and Ice-Cream Vans, because children are more interested in ice-cream and harder to see in busy crowded shopping areas.
Children and older pedestrians may not be able to judge speed so take this into account and bear in mind that the elderly also take longer to cross so please be patient. People with disabilities, blind or partially sighted or those who are hearing impaired may not always hear or see you approaching so always be mindful of speed.
Beware of distracted pedestrians i.e. those on mobile phones, a group of people talking or ones wearing headphones and listening to music.
Watch out for pedestrians crossing a road into which you are turning. If they have started to cross they have priority, so give way. Another one may be if you are reversing around a corner, check all around you before starting your manoeuvre.
Just a few to be on the lookout for.
Changes to the driving test for safer roads in Briton, and these are the proposed changes.
The government are committed to trying to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured on our roads.
By making changes to the driving test they aim to give better education to Britain's new drivers. Examiners will be able to assess a candidate's ability to drive independently in modern driving conditions.
Plans to increase the independent part of the test from 10 minutes to 20 minutes. This part of the test relies on the student's ability to read signs and listen to a series of verbal instructions to get them to where they are asked to go. If the student forgets the directions they may ask the examiner to confirm them.
If they go off route the examiner will help them get back on route, which won't effect their test result unless they make a mistake while doing it.
2. Following directions from a sat nav: This will replace the examiner giving verbal instruction, and the student following signs on the independent drive. This has come into focus because a lot more drivers rely on sat navs to get them from A to B, and the DVSA want new drivers to be trained to use them safely.
3. Replace some of the older manoeuvres for more real life scenarios. Turn in the road and particularly reversing around the corner will be replaced by asking the student to drive into a parking bay, and then reversing out. And stopping on the right hand side of the road, before reversing in a straight line for a short distance and then being asked to join the flow of the traffic again. Both manoeuvres call upon a different level of skill, awareness and planning.
4. Being asked safety questions while on the move. eg: The examiner might ask the student to turn on their heated rear windscreen while driving, instead of at the start of the test while parked up.
These changes are important to help the DVSA's vision of safer roads for the future, by reducing the number of young people killed each year.
Congratulations to Emily Taylor of Hull who passed her practical driving test on the 25th of January 2017. Emily took her driving lessons with Elite Driving Instructor Jeannette Pickering who was over the moon with the result and maintains her high pass rate. A huge well done to Emily who did a great job to pass at the FIRST attempt. Instructor Jeannette said she is looking forward to seeing you again for a Motorway Driving Lesson or Pass Plus.
We hope you enjoy your newfound freedom that a licence will bring.
Best wishes from your Driving Instructor Jeannette Pickering and the Customer Service Team @ EliteDrivingSchool.
Elite – Inspiring new drivers to achieve their dreams.
Appearance is important, but is it when it comes down to driving? Who is looking at your feet when you are driving?
There are lots of questions about whether it is illegal to drive in high heels or even barefoot for that matter. There are no legal requirements when it comes to footwear however as the driver you are responsible for keeping the vehicle under control.
We recommend flat shoes that are comfortable. These should be not too bulky either as this could result in catching two of the pedals together. Another factor to take into account is the sole, too thick and you will be unable to feel the pedals, too thin or soft could also cause problems. You need a sturdy shoe with a good grip to avoid slipping off the pedals. They should never be too heavy or limit your movement.
Some of the worse footwear for driving are flip flops, high heels, platform shoes/boots, and winter (snow) boots.
Back in the old days (well the staff here in the office are a little older than we would care to admit) Mrs O used to drive barefoot, something she would not dream of doing these days, however she has never driven in heels, it might be an age thing but she prefers comfort and always uses flat shoes for driving and on an all important night out will have her heels ready to change into once at her destination.
It appears that some drivers will get up to all sorts of antics behind the wheel that can distract them while driving.
But the worst offenders are people still using mobile phones while driving. What's even more worrying is in a bid to conceal the crime, they keep their devices below the steering wheel, which means they need to look down at the screen to read a text or scroll to find a contact to call, instead of looking at the road ahead.
If a drivers attention is away from the road, it only takes a few seconds to be the cause of an accident, which could be potentially fatal.
There are many lives lost each year unnecessarily because drivers don't have their full attention on the road.
And those drivers that cause the accident can't turn time back. Just a few seconds distraction can cause a life time of regret.
If you drive a vehicle on public highways you have a duty to consider the safety of others, including pedestrians.
Voluntary motorway lessons would be taken with a qualified instructor.
These days having a driving licence opens the door to a whole new range of opportunities when it comes to employment.
It's not just about needing to drive to and from work. It shouts out to your employer that you're motivated, flexible and eager to learn new skills. And if a position is called for that requires travel for business, you won't be held back by not having a licence.
It could mean the chance of promotion and new opportunities which could take you to new places and put new responsibilities on your shoulders.
Car sharing is the new mode of transport for today's workers. It save's you money, and helps build relationships with work colleagues. But if you haven't your own car, you can't share.
It can also let you see different parts of this wonderful country that you otherwise wouldn't. And why restrict it to the UK the world can be your oyster.
It may seem a long way off, but if in the future, you settle down, and have a family. Being able to drive will become part of family life. Whether that's a trip to the shops with the pram and babies bags, or a family holiday with the boot piled high. You'll be glad you learnt to drive earlier in life.
Relying on public transport might restrict your options and unnecessarily hold you back. There are lots of benefits of being able to drive as a job seeker.
The ability to drive is an investment in life, and is well worth the time and investment it takes to achieve it. Learning to drive comes with an endless list of benefits, of course, you will have your own freedom and the ease of getting from A to B.

Dozens of learner drivers are caught each year using stand-ins to take their test for them, official figures show.
There were 209 convictions from 2012-13 to 2016-17, with more than half dealt with by the Metropolitan Police, Transport Minister Andrew Jones said.
In addition, 111 people were convicted of taking the practical or theory tests on behalf of others over the same time.
A total of about 1.5 million practical and 1.9 million theory tests are taken each year.
Mr Jones said the majority of investigations were conducted by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) until there was enough evidence to support an arrest and prosecution.
DVSA head of counter-fraud and investigations Andy Rice said: "The driving test is there to ensure that all drivers have the skills and knowledge to use the roads safely and responsibly.
Driving test fraud was a serious offence and dealt with accordingly, he said.
More than 1,100 licences have been revoked due to such activity in the past five years.
Is an Intensive Driving Course right for me?
If you're wanting to pass your driving test quickly then you should book an intensive driving course…Or should you?
For years people's perception of intensive driving courses has been book today pass at the end of the week.
Unfortunately that's not the case. The reality across the UK, is that driving schools and driving instructors are struggling to offer intensive courses because their diaries are bulging at the seams with students just trying to book standard lessons. And those instructors that can, could keep you waiting months.
Contrary to peoples beliefs, it's very rare to be able to book a driving test with the DVSA (the government body responsible for driving tests in the UK) for a weeks time. Most UK test centres have long waiting times, some up to 3 to 4 months, Why?
Because they are short on staff, mainly examiners. Another hold up when booking a practical driving test is the Theory test. If you haven't passed it the DVSA won't let you book a practical test until you have.
And the common misconception that driving schools and instructors can hold driving test dates, and then put a candidates details in when they want is totally not true. They are bound to the same rules as everyone else.
If you've been wondering whether an intensive driving course is the best course of action for you continue reading.
If you are a new driver trying to squeeze a course of lessons in to a week with a test at the end, then you should consider a few facts.
Firstly: You will be sat in a car for up to six hours each day of the week. Now even an experienced driver wouldn't relish that thought, and they drive from memory, not learning.
Many people that book driving lessons find that just two hour lessons can be too draining on the concentration. And they need a few days between them to allow what was learnt to stick, before going out on lesson again.
Second: If you've paid for your course and decide it's not for you, or the DVSA cancel your practical driving test date last minute, there's no refund of your course hours with most driving instructors. You have effectively booked those hours out of their diaries.
The truth is intensive driving courses work for some people and not others. So it's worth gaining some driving experience first, or trying an assessment lesson to see how you get on before booking one.
It takes a shorter period of time.
It will help to advance your career.
It will take fewer hours as it's more concentrated learning.
It doesn't work for everyone.
The pressure can be too intense if you don't get the lesson duration correct.
There is no flexibility to move lessons once the course is agreed it's set in stone.
The DVSA, which is the organisation who takes you for your test could at anytime cancel your test.
We have thought long and hard of the best way forward for intensive courses which is why we have developed our Premier driving courses for people who want to learn quickly without the pressure and restrictions of one-week intensive driving courses.
If you want to chat to someone about your options please call Pauline on 01482 772301.

Any help before I burn the place?

A: Django would not be able to resolve {% url 'query' %} in JS file, since that's client side stuff. reverse url is resolved at the time of html file rendering.
What you can do is, pass that url as init() function of that JS module from html file:
<!-- In your Template file -->
<script>
$(function(){
    app.init("{% url 'query' %}");
});
</script>

And export the app module from js file. Set that url as a variable, and use it in ajax call.

A: The problem is that your javascript file (app.js) is probably not the template. You don't show it, but I assume you have an HTML file that is loading the app.js file.  The HTML file is where the template variables and such will get expanded. The simplest way to resolve this is to embed the javascript code into your HTML file inside a <script> tag.
There is a library for Flask called Flask-JSGlue that solves this problem and lets you use template variables in your javascript files, but I cannot find a similar library for Django.


The Golden State is not so golden anymore. California is broke. With a $20 billion dollar deficit and tax revenues down 27% from last year, Governor Schwarzenegger looks to Washington D.C. for a bail-out to rescue the state from financial ruin. Like the executive passing a beggar on a street corner, Washington looks the other way. Unemployment is statistically 12.3%, but functionally, it runs closer to 20% of the work force. Nowhere is unemployment more tragic than in the Central Valley, the fruit and vegetable producer of the world. The unemployment rate in arguably the most fertile land on the planet is near 30% as residents line up in bread lines to feed their families. How did this happen? What happened to the Golden State?
California is a victim of its own success.
For decades following WWII, people flooded into the golden state in search of weather, opportunity and the good life. California delivered. Under Governor Pat Brown in the 1960s, California had wonderful weather, plentiful water, new highways, and the best public school systems in America. Every student had access to a strong community college system and top students were guaranteed admission to the University of California. Agriculture, Hollywood, aerospace and construction provided more jobs than workers.
The 1970s brought harbingers of California's future. The environmental movement muzzled a robust real estate industry with alphabet agencies like AQMD, CEQA, EIR and CCC. Building moratoriums raised home prices along the coast. Aggressive land use controls pushed development inland creating urban sprawl and long commutes as residents sought affordable housing inland. Governor Jerry Brown quipped, "If we do not build it, they will not come" and shut down highway construction, public school construction and added layers of new regulations. The people came anyway.
The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989 dealt California a cruel blow. The peace dividend meant the end for many high paying aerospace jobs and defense contracts. The recession that followed was felt far deeper than in the rest of the country. California climbed out of its recession led by wave after wave of new millionaire software developers during the dot com revolution.
In 2001, the dot come bubble burst. The politicians in Sacramento, emboldened by an endless supply of money from the dotcommers to state coffers, spent over $100 billion while revenues fell to just $70 billion. They ran up a $38.2 billion deficit in 2002 under Governor Gray Davis – more than the other 49 states combined. The people recalled Davis in 2003 and replaced him with the Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
California survived the bursting dot com bubble with yet another round of real estate escalation (the housing bubble) that lifted home prices by 20% per year. Spending escalated in line with home prices. More regulations were added to burden industry. Taxes were raised. Tuition increased. California added "The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006" as if California alone could stem global warming. In response to 9-11, politicians passed SB 400, a feel good law that allowed cops and fireman to retire at 50. It was budgeted to cost "just $400 million" per year. Last year it cost $3 billion. Then, they passed SB183 the next year, applying the same benefits to non-safety state employees like billboard inspectors. When the housing bubble burst in 2007, California found itself with a $20 billion deficit – again.
This time, California will not climb out so easily. Federal regulators, implementing the Endangered Species Act that was invented in California, diverted water from the farms of the Imperial Valley to the ocean to protect the engendered Delta Smelt. This tiny fish, with no commercial value, threatens the well being of tens of thousands of agricultural workers and contributes to unemployment figures worse than the Great Depression. California's schools now rank 49th in the nation. They no longer generate the brilliant minds that fueled past economies. California's 11.6% income tax has forced many high income earners to no income tax states like Florida or Nevada. The housing industry that created 212,960 units in 2006 was only able to build 36,000 units in 2009.
Former state librarian and California historian Kevin Starr talks about the potential of California being the nation's first failed state. John Moorlach, Orange County Supervisor says, "We better start talking about this. What are we going to do when the entity (state government) above us crumbles? I think we are already technically bankrupt." He should know: Orange County went bankrupt in 1994. The City of Vallejo, population 120,000, was forced into bankruptcy in 2008 by commitments by its politicians to pay its City Manager $400,000 per year and its fireman an average of $175,000 annually.
The biggest obstacle facing California's recovery is a dysfunctional pension system created by politicians indebted to the public employee unions. The pension obligation is now $17 billion per year. California has 260,000 state employees and 38,000 are paid more than $100,000 per year. The University of California employs another 250,000 and 19,000 are paid over 100,000 annually. These generous salaries have been converted into lifetime annuities. The Legislative Analyst's Office estimates the unfunded pension obligations of California to total $237 billion. In an era of retiring baby-boomers, this trajectory is clearly unsustainable. With tax receipts down, huge pension obligations and a state budget deficit of $20 billion, the vast majority of municipalities in California are suffering deficits and facing the prospect of Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy.
A train wreck is coming.
Do the politicians in Sacramento want to do something about the train wreck that is coming? The answer as of now is clearly no. There is no evidence that they are willing to curtail spending and reform the pension laws that cover 500,000 state employees. They know the State of California cannot go bankrupt under existing laws. However, if they will not act, the people may act for them. Just as they did in 2003 with the recall of Gray Davis, the people are taking the initiative. They are sponsoring the Citizens Power Initiative to curtail the ability of unions to use payroll deductions for campaign purposes. Another initiative would make California's full-time legislature part-time. In the meantime, the California economy continues to grind to a halt. Will the people of California shock the nation like the people of Massachusetts did with the election of Scott Brown? Or will the unions buy another election and drive the Golden State over the edge, making it the First Failed State?
During the first ten days of October 2008, the Dow Jones dropped 2,399.47 points, losing 22.11% of its value and trillions of investor equity. The Federal Government pushed a $700 billion bail-out through Congress to rescue the beleaguered financial institutions. The collapse of the financial system in the fall of 2008 was likened to an earthquake. In reality, what happened was more like a shift of tectonic plates.

A day after losing at home to Michigan, Mark Dantonio didn't feel any better about what happened during the game or any differently about what happened before it.
East Lansing — A day after losing at home to Michigan, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio didn't feel any better about what happened during the game or any differently about what happened before it.
The result almost became secondary as Michigan controlled the game for the most part, beating Michigan State, 21-7, for the second straight time at Spartan Stadium and finishing the day alone in first place in the Big Ten East.
During his weekly teleconference Sunday night, Dantonio was ready to move on.
It all began well before the game when Michigan State (4-3, 2-2 Big Ten) took its regular walk down the length of the field at Spartan Stadium, something it has done at all home games under Dantonio and something that never has created problems. While doing so, several Michigan players were at midfield and an altercation followed.
Michigan players said Michigan State was late to arrive and no one asked them to move while those on the Michigan State side say they were asked to move. It resulted in Michigan's Devin Bush tearing up the Spartan logo at midfield.
Dantonio was just behind the players walking when the incident happened and didn't appear to react to the players yelling at each other. After the game, Harbaugh said Dantonio was walking behind, "smiling the whole time," to which Dantonio responded with the "B.S." comment.
Deciding not to address it any further on Sunday, Dantonio turned his attention to his team, which will get set to host Purdue at noon on Saturday as the Boilermakers are coming off an upset win over Ohio State.
There was plenty of focus on quarterback Brian Lewerke, who was just 5-for-25 passing against Michigan and was playing with a bad right shoulder. It was bad enough that it kept him from throwing during the week, but it had improved enough that the decision was made he could play on Saturday.
Redshirt freshman Rocky Lombardi took over for Lewerke on the final series of the game and completed on pass as Michigan penalties allowed the Spartans to move into Wolverines territory. Dantonio said Lombardi got plenty of reps during the week and there was discussion about putting him in the game against Michigan earlier.
But Dantonio made the choice to stick with the junior who has been the starter since last season.
"I wanted to stay with Lewerke for one more series," Dantonio said. "There's a lot of things (that go into it). Production, down and distance, separation of wide receivers on the defensive backs. Then, certainly, concepts. You have to look at that as well.
Dantonio said he wasn't worried the offensive struggles would shake Lewerke.
The depleted Spartans offense took more hits on Saturday as wide receiver Felton Davis III was lost for the season to a ruptured Achilles and center Matt Allen was also hurt. Dantonio said Davis would likely have surgery this week and then begin rehab as he preps for next spring's NFL Draft.
As for Allen, Dantonio said his status was "sort of an unknown" and wouldn't speculate on his status. He did say wide receiver Cody White would be back "sooner than later" but didn't offer specifics. White hasn't played since breaking his hand against Central Michigan.
With Laress Nelson and C.J. Hayes also hurt, cornerback Justin Layne played some at receiver, something Dantonio said would continue.
"We've got to be able to play through the pain, I guess," Dantonio said.

From kingmaker to king | All you need to know about HD Kumaraswamy
As Kumaraswamy begins his second innings as the CM of Karnataka, here is a quick look at the career of the JD(S) leader who entered politics from the film industry
SNS | New Delhi | Updated : May 23, 2018 4:57 pm
H.D. Kumaraswamy. (File Photo: IANS)
What played out in Karnataka in the last few days looked like a sublime portrayal of a tightly-packed script of a political drama. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) became the single largest party by winning 104 seats of the 222 that went to polls on 12 May. But the first claimants to forming the government were the parties that came second and third – Congress and Janata Dal (Secular), respectively. After forming a post-poll alliance in a lightning speed, under the leadership of HD Kumaraswamy of the JD(S), they rushed to the Governor to stake claim to the throne. The drama began when Governor Vajubhai Vala decided to give a twist. He not only invited the BJP instead to form the government but also gave the saffron party 15 days to prove majority in the Vidhan Soudha.
Shocked but not the one to back down, the Congress knocked on the doors of the Supreme Court in the midnight pleading with the judiciary to "save democracy". Acting on the petition, the apex court cut down the fortnight given to the 75-year-old BS Yeddyurappa, the man selected the leader of the BJP legislative party, to just 24 hours. On 19 May 2018, Yeddyurappa, who had taken oath of office as the Chief Minister of Karnataka on 17 May, resigned just before the vote of confidence. The moment of Yeddyurappa's exit was watched by all: the Lingayat strongman turning towards the ornate door of the house after making what has been dubbed an "emotional" speech and exit the hall.
EDITORIAL | Blessing in disguise?
The cameras then turned towards the man who will take oath as the Chief Minister of Karnataka on 23 May 2018 – Haradanahalli Devegowda Kumaraswamy. Before the 15 May counting, everyone had labelled Kumaraswamy as the kingmaker and not the king. The 58-year-old third son of former prime minister HD Deve Gowda was not the pick of any of the psephologists for the top post – most of the analysts had either given the seat to former Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah or to Yeddyurappa. Yet, the fact is that Congress, to outwit the BJP and its belligerent tactics, unanimously anointed Kumaraswamy the king and left the reigns of the hastily-formed alliance in his hands. As Yeddyurappa made his exit, Kumaraswamy grabbed the hand of Congress leader DK Shivakumar and raised it to symbolise the strength of the alliance of the two parties.
On Wednesday (23 May), HD Kumaraswamy was sworn-in as the Chief Minister of Karnataka, and the ceremony was attended by a host of opposition leaders.
As Kumaraswamy begins his second innings as the CM of Karnataka, here is a quick look at the past of the JD(S) leader who entered politics from the film industry.
Kumaraswamy had the first taste of electoral politics when he won the Lok Sabha seat of Kanakapura in 1996. The election was fractured but an alliance was formed and his father, HD Deve Gowda, was picked to lead India as its 11th Prime Minister. But in the world of politics, the winds change their course faster than sound waves. Within two years, India went to polls again and Kumaraswamy lost his deposit from the same seat. He was defeated by a Congress candidate.
He then contested the 1999 Karnataka assembly elections from Sathanur – a taluk located in what is now Bengaluru Rural Lok Sabha constituency. In that election, Kumaraswamy was defeated by DK Shivakumar of the Congress – the same man who has now engineered the JD(S) leader's climb to the throne after the 2018 verdict.
READ | Who is BS Yeddyurappa?
In 2004, HD Kumaraswamy contested from and won the Ramanagaram seat. That year, the JD(S) won 58 seats – 48 more than in 1999. He has since been winning from the same seat, located in Ramanagara district in south Karnataka region.
A fractured verdict resulted in the formation of an alliance between the JD(S) and the Congress. The alliance government, a first in Karnataka, was led by Congress' Dharam Singh. Within a year of the alliance, a rift developed between the JD(S) and the Congress over Siddaramaiah, who had formed a separate political party supported by the Congress after his expulsion from the JD(S).
Kumaraswamy was the one who took the decision to pull the plug on the alliance in February 2006 and aligned with the BJP – the party which had emerged as the single largest with 79 seats in the 2004 assembly elections. The BJP agreed to make Kumaraswamy the CM for 20 months after which power was to be transferred to the BJP's CM candidate – BS Yeddyurappa.
In October 2007, when it was time for Yeddyurappa to take charge, Kumaraswamy refused to relinquish power. President's Rule was imposed. After 35 days, Kumaraswamy and the BJP came back to terms, and Yeddyurappa was sworn-in as the 19th Chief Minister of Karnataka. But the truce did not last as the two parties disagreed again over sharing of ministries. Elections were called again, and HD Kumaraswamy stood no chance this time as BJP had the numbers and formed government for the first time in a southern state.
As Karnataka went through periods of political uncertainty and a five-year stable Congress government under Siddaramaiah, Kumaraswamy, too, quit as Karnataka JD(S) president before returning as state president in 2014. He has since then focused on strengthening his party in the region it dominates – south Karnataka, which has a sizeable number of Vokkaliga community to which the Deve Gowdas belong.
In the 2018 assembly elections, Kumaraswamy comfortably won from both the seats he contested – Ramanagaram and Channapatna. Siddaramaiah, who too contested from two constituencies, lost one – Chamundeshwari – to GT Deve Gowda, a Vokkaliga strongman.
HD Kumaraswamy, who was a filmmaker before turning to politics, had his first marriage in 1986. He has a son, actor Nikhil Gowda, from his first marriage. In 2006, Kumaraswamy married actress Radhika, who is about 27 years younger than him. They have a daughter. His marriage to Radhika came under the scanner due to allegations of bigamy, which is illegal under law.
Kumaraswamy also faced heat in the Janathakal mining scam in which he was accused of pressurising a bureaucrat into renewing the licence of a mining company during his term as the Chief Minister of Karnataka.
In April this year, Kumaraswamy had claimed that he would be the king and not kingmaker in the 2018 elections. On Wednesday, the curtains on the drama in Karnataka may finally fall. But the unpredictable game of politics continues to thwart the most 'reputed' and 'experienced' of the analysts.

Anyone who had the chance of visiting Amalfi will tell you that there is something magic about this town.
Whether it's the drammatic views you get from the cliffs looking onto the blue sea, the warmth of the sun, the hospitality of its people, or the flavor of its food, this is one Italian town that has won visitors' hearts for decades.
...bring you all of those elements, so that you can enjoy an experience that is as authentic as possible. Right from start, the setting recalls colors and elements from the beach.
The ambiance is contemporary with plenty of open spaces to promote interaction.
Residents and visitors to the UAE, are lucky to experience the skills and talent of many wonderful chefs, but personally, particularly when it comes to Italian cuisine, I have encountered only a handful of chefs who really took me to a special high with their creations. Chef Pascal Sfara is one of these.
Originating from the same province as the town of Amalfi, not only does he have a deep knowledge of the authentic flavors, but also he bursts with passion.
Ironically, the other Italian chef who gave me a similar gastronomic experience is Chef Francesco Guarracino who is also from the same area as Chef Pascal.
I'm starting to wonder whether they have something in the water over there to raise such amazing chefs! I cannot even imagine the magic that would happen if these two guys would get together to create a menu, but if it ever happens I wanna be there!!
Each of the dishes created by Chef Pascal are a sensory delight: the presentation, the aroma and taste are simply incredible.
I learnt this earlier on with the Roasted Octopus Salad. I love fish and seafood and so I asked the Chef to surprise me and this is what I was presented with! Chunky, tender cuts of octopus on a bed of salad leaves and topped with a mandarin foam.
The flavor is simply beautiful and the freshness of the seafood remarkable. I loved how the mandarin foam combines with the salad and the octopus to create a tangy seasoning.
Initially, the dish is served with a small mound of wheat in the center topped with lobster and clams are scattered around it.
Then the bisque broth is poured all around it.
Get ready for a full infusion of aromas: from the saltiness of the sea to the lush texture of the broth. This is indeed a luxurious treat!
If I hadn't been spoiled enough, Chef Pascal decided to present this breathtaking dish of roasted calamari with sautéed broccoli served on a bed of beetroot dust. Chef Pascal described this dish as a canvas, he invited me to cut a piece from the calamari, grab a piece of broccoli and draw around the plate collecting the beetroot dust. This dish is once again a sensory experience and you can't help but being wow'd as I was.
If you reached the end of this post and noticed something is missing, then I invite you to check out the competition below and guess what is that I have not purposely written about.
Amalfi is introducing a month of special treats to celebrate Truffle Season and there are many more winter dishes coming up so make sure to go check them out at Le Royal Meridien Abu Dhabi.

A: This seems like you don't know about jQuery basics. If you can grab data from API but is firing on refresh then put it in trigger fire approach. something like if you have fetchData() function which fetches data from API as per the checkbox then don't fire it directly instead do something like
$('#fetch-button-id').click(function() { fetchData(); });
and if you have just put fetch data from api code directly into document then add those code into function then call it.

Most infrastructure is now set up.
No changes. Initial PMC list is still valid.
The Xerces people have a project charter draft which contains special sections about handling contributions. We mostly copied from their charter draft but removed these sections. We think this is something which has to be defined and communicated at ASF-level.
No new releases, however the number of bug fixes is reaching critical mass so a bug fix release (1.5.2) is likely in the near future.
Initial support for SVG 1.2 has been added to Batik (only activated for documents that indicate 'version="1.2"').
Significant (10x!) performance increase for Mac OS X, really makes Batik useful on Macintosh for the first time.
No releases. However, we will likely be able to start releasing again this year with the current rate of progress.
Creation of a regression test framework and tests.
Improvements in line and block layout.
Full support for Block Containers has been implemented.
Markers have been fully implemented.
Text-decoration has been fully implemented.
Background images has been implemented.
List labels and indenting has been implemented.
The XSL 1.1 working draft is also being looked at and the new bookmark feature has already been implemented replacing a FOP custom extension.


Question of the day: What do a college freshman, a level-headed frog, an over-the-top pig and a fuzzy bug-eyed alien have to do with job advice?
I'll give you a hint: it rhymes with "puppet." With the 2011 release of The Muppets in theatres (I haven't seen it yet – please no spoilers,) it's perfect timing to bring them all together for a fun blog post. Don't you just love pop culture?
The eternal optimist. Let's start with the frog. To be more exact, his name is Kermit. Kermit (voiced by Jim Henson) once said that his job was "trying to get a bunch of crazies to actually get the job done." You see, Kermit is the guy in charge. He has to work with a variety of personalities from Animal to Sam the Bald Eagle to Statler and Waldorf, the show's toughest critics. Where am I going with this? Kermit chooses to see the positive in every situation. He's the eternal optimist, sees the good in people and helps in every way he can. Why? He wants others to be successful! Have you had a boss like this? How would you work with them?
The star(?) of the show. When I think of Miss Piggy, I think of someone who must be the star of the show. That person is determined and nothing will stand in their way. Miss Piggy has a volatile personality. She presents a public face which is the essence of feminine charm, but can instantly fly into a violent rage whenever she thinks she has been insulted or thwarted. Kermit is often the target of her anger, sending him flying through the air. Why is he the target? Miss Piggy sees him as a doormat because of his good nature. If it isn't good for "moi" (pronounced 'mwah'), then it isn't worth doing. Do you work with someone like this? If so, how do you get the job done without conflict?
The weirdo. Do I really have to say who this is? You got it – Gonzo. He's known as "Gonzo the Great" or "the Great Gonzo" to his fans. He takes pride in his uniqueness and finds great enjoyment in EVERYTHING he does, no matter how bad the job really is. I think he's a lot like Kermit in that he's an optimist. I think Gonzo's career wouldn't be what it is today without his positive attitude. Yes, he's worked some crazy jobs, but he's found enjoyment in it all (no matter how far he had to dig to find it.) In the end, he's learned from his failures (and like anyone, knows there will be more) and grows from it. Does this sound familiar?
The dreamer. Jim Henson imagined puppets with a life of their own. He changed the entertainment industry forever. Did you know that Kermit was created from a women's coat that his mom had thrown into a waste bin? He used two ping pong ball halves for eyes. I've created a few sock puppets in my day, but what Jim Henson did was so much more. His imagination helped launch characters that we've grown to know and love like the ones mentioned above, Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Bert and Ernie, and Cookie Monster. It's amazing what you can achieve if you dream big enough.
What do you think? Any other Henson characters you can identify with in the job search? C'mon, I know you're itching to leave a comment.
Who is YOUR favorite Muppet character? Better yet, how do YOU work with Muppetational characters on the job?
This is a nice one, I can say there is much i didn't know about Jim Henson. i didn't know that that Kermit was created from a women's coat that his mom had thrown into a waste bin? Dreams do come true and you have to be visionary to realize your dream like Jim Henson.
Thanks friend for the share. Sometimes a job hunt can demand a long time. But you shouldn't intent for a long, drawn-out job search. It's challenging to get traction and keep momentum when your tread is too slack.
I'm totally a Gonzo and I adore working with people like Kermit. I love bosses who don't get too much into your strategies and methods unless it's necessary and they value your work according to your results.
It seems that most people who have weighed in on this would classify themselves as Gonzo. Why not? He's the life of the party and not afraid of failure. I appreciate the comment!

Film star Sandrine Bonnaire shares domestic violence ordeal
French actress Sandrine Bonnaire. Screengrab, France 24
On the United Nations-backed International Day for Eliminating Domestic Violence against Women, French film star Sandrine Bonnaire shared her harrowing experience of domestic abuse in conversation with FRANCE 24.
The 52-year-old Bonnaire, whose award-winning career spans four decades in film and television, recounted a life-changing experience 20 years ago with her partner of three-and-a-half years. Strangled by the man during an argument in her home, Bonnaire lost consciousness and woke with her jaw fractured in three places, her tongue severely damaged and eight broken teeth. The man responsible told her she had suffered the injuries in a fall and, initially, she believed him. But doctors told the actress that injuries like hers could only stem from a car accident, or domestic violence.
Shooting on the movie that Bonnaire was working on at the time was suspended for two-and-a-half months while she recovered, losing weight as she was forced to eat through a straw. To this day, she still experiences physical pain as a result of the attack.
The actress says the worst part is that the lingering pain means she can't fully leave the attack in the past. "Even if I want to forget that man, I can't because I still have pain on my face, the neck, arms, everything, shoulders. When it's cold, when it's windy…"
Bonnaire's attacker received only a two-year suspended sentence as punishment.
Bonnaire spoke to FRANCE 24 on the day Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced new measures to combat domestic abuse in the country.
On Saturday, tens of thousands took to the streets across France in solidarity with victims of domestic abuse.
