Q: How to keep checking if a user presses esc while Reading lines? I want to keep reading lines of the user, but when this user presses on escape I want it to stop. But how can I keep reading single keys (for the escape), while meanwhile reading lines? I hope the question will be more clear after giving my code:
int number;
do
{
      string a = Console.ReadLine();
      try
      {
          Int32.TryParse(a, out number);
      }
      catch
      {
          Console.WriteLine("I only accept int");
      }
      finally
      {
          Console.Writeline(number);
      }
} while (Console.ReadKey(true).Key != ConsoleKey.Escape);

A: as you have written, you want to read lines until escape is pressed, but as your code says, you want to read only integers. Here's what I think is what you want,
        int number = 0;
        do
        {
            while (!Console.KeyAvailable)
            {
                string a = Console.ReadLine();
                bool bWriteNumber = false;
                try
                {
                    number = int.Parse(a);
                    bWriteNumber = true;
                }
                catch
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Sorry! I only accept int");
                }
                finally
                {
                    if (bWriteNumber)
                        Console.WriteLine(number);
                }
            }
        } while (Console.ReadKey(true).Key != ConsoleKey.Escape);

A: I am not sure to understand completely your question but you can test the code below if it matches your requirements
using System;
using System.Globalization;

namespace StackOverflow_31111668

    {

            {
                var a = Console.ReadLine();
                int number;
                Console.WriteLine(!int.TryParse(a, out number) ? "I only accept int" : number.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));

The Book Dragon Contest continues!
In Ravished by a Viking, most of the story takes place either on the ice-bound planet of New Iceland or aboard the starship Proteus. Unusal enough, right? Wait until the sequel when Dagr's brother Eirik fights his way off the planet Helios. I'll share snippets from Enslaved by a Viking soon!
The journey to Skuldelev passed in silence. Strapped into the back seat of a small, two-man snow-eater, she watched the endless drifts of white, stirred only by the shifting winds and blowing toward the frozen sea that bordered the lowlands they crossed. In the distance, the jagged peaks of the Keel Mountains sawed into the face of Sunni, the sun goddess, stretching the shadows of night to cloak the mountains and the city fortress of Skuldelev at its base.
Birget straightened to peer over Dagr's shoulder at the city few Bearshirts had ever willingly entered. Where her own fortress stood as evidence of strength and precision, the keep rising several stories high, Skuldelev stretched like a lazy dragon resting across the top of the foothills. The fortress wall hugged the contours, turrets spiking like ridges on the beast's back. Even the great, gated entrance gave the appearance of a dragon's large, crenellated head with its mouth gaping.

Let the buyer have faith: why our values count
There's a true story about our founder Thomas Armstrong in the very early days of our company. Tom had supplied corks to a customer who provided a special soft drink for a street festival in Pittsburgh. The soft drinks went bad, and Tom's customer blamed Armstrong's corks.
Tom replaced all of the soft drink – even though the drinks going sour likely had little to do with the corks. That decision cost a pretty penny for a new business in the late 1800s, but he did it to preserve his reputation, stand behind his product and make his name synonymous with trust. The news spread all over Pittsburgh and people learned if the supplier was Armstrong, the buyer could have faith.
Tom Armstrong adopted that motto, "let the buyer have faith," and put his name on every bag of corks along with a written guarantee of quality in each bag.
Our company and our brand are more than 150 years old. We believe one of the reasons we have stood the test of time is our devotion to our operating principles and our commitment to acting responsibly and with integrity everywhere we work.
We are about resiliency, agility and a passion for customers!

Bernhard Schnappauf (geboren am 5. Oktober 1840 in Bayreuth; gestorben am 13. März 1904 ebenda) war Bader und Chirurg in Bayreuth. Er zählte zu den engsten Vertrauten Richard Wagners von 1872 bis zu dessen Tod.

Leben und Wirken
Schnappauf war der Sohn eines Baders, von dem er am 16. Januar 1864 sein Elternhaus in der Bayreuther Ochsengasse (heute: Kirchgasse 10) und die Badergerechtigkeit – eine Genehmigung, die es erlaubte, kosmetische Dienstleistungen, Haareschneiden, Bartscheren oder auch Teilgebiete der Chirurgie, Zahnmedizin und Augenheilkunde anzubieten – übernahm. Die Zahl der Sektionen und Operationen, bei denen er im Lauf seines Lebens als Assistent Messer und Säge führte, gab er mit mehr als 1600 an.

Im Jahr 1872 lernte er im Hotel Fantaisie im nahen Donndorf Richard Wagner kennen, wo dieser mit seiner Familie ab Ende April bis zu seinem Umzug nach Bayreuth am 24. September jenes Jahres wohnte. Wagner erkor den damals 32-jährigen Schnappauf zu seinem Faktotum und "Leibfriseur". Dieser brachte dem sächselnden Neubürger Wagner die oberfränkische "Volksseele" näher und versorgte die Familie mit dem neuesten Klatsch und Tratsch aus dem Städtchen. Er verkörperte für Wagner den Idealtyp des Bayreuthers: Bescheiden und direkt, listig und lebensklug, gescheit und geschickt, für alles zu gebrauchen. Von Schnappauf kamen praktische Tipps wie z. B. in welchem Gasthaus "ausgezeichnetes Bier verzapft" werde.

Schnappaufs Rolle als "Postillon d'Amour" blieb Wagners Ehefrau Cosima lange Zeit verborgen. Im ersten Festspielsommer, im Jahr 1876, überbrachte Schnappauf Liebespost des 63-jährigen Wagner an die 26-jährige Französin Judith Gautier, eine seiner glühenden Verehrerinnen. Im September jenes Jahres fingen im Münchner Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Cosimas Halstuch und Haupthaar Feuer. "Schnappauf, der Barbier, unsere Begleitung, löscht aus" schrieb diese in ihr Tagebuch.

Beeindruckt war die Familie Wagner von Schnappaufs Fähigkeiten als Wundarzt, was im September 1878 zu dem Beschluss führte, auch ihren Sohn Siegfried zum solchen ausbilden zu lassen, damit dieser "ein nützlicher und wohltätiger Mensch" werde. Schnappauf erwies sich auch als idealer Reisebegleiter des anspruchsvollen Paars, der – stets zu Diensten – beispielsweise alle Grenzformalitäten regelte. Bei einem Italienaufenthalt im Februar 1882 wachte Schnappauf zwei Nächte lang am Bett des fieberkranken Siegfried. Im Januar 1882 machte der Präfekt von Palermo dem Meister in einem sizilianischen Luxushotel seine Aufwartung; dass er zunächst den im Frack und mit Orden behängten, auf der Eingangstreppe angetroffenen Schnappauf mit dem später nur im Hausrock erschienenen Richard Wagner verwechselte, war für die deutsche Presse wie den Berliner Börsen-Courier gefundenes journalistisches Fressen. Das Bayreuther Tagblatt schrieb, der Mitbürger Schnappauf besitze gar keine Orden und habe im Übrigen nicht beim Militär, sondern lediglich "bei der Landwehr älterer Ordnung als Tambour-Major" gedient. Dieser Artikel veranlasste Wagner noch in Italien, sich bei seinem Freund Adolf von Groß über die schnöde Behandlung Schnappaufs, der sich als Ehrenmitglied des Turnerbunds hoher Wertschätzung bei den Bayreuthern erfreute, im örtlichen Blättchen zu beschweren.

Im Jahr der Uraufführung des Bühnenweihfestspiels Parsifal wurde Schnappauf 1882 sogar Wagners Lebensretter. Nach der fünften Aufführung sank dieser, der an einer schweren Herzkrankheit litt, blau im Gesicht auf ein Sofa nieder und verlor das Bewusstsein. Der herbeigerufene Schnappauf brachte den Ohnmächtigen ins Leben zurück, was Wagner mit der trockenen Bemerkung "Na, ich bin dem Tod doch entronnen" quittierte. Der Freund und Vertraute wusste auch des Meisters Mildtätigkeit in passende Bahnen zu lenken. Sogar in Palermo steckte dieser ihm Geld zu, das er an die Armen verteilen sollte.

Bezüglich der Festspiele gehörte es zu Schnappaufs Aufgaben, aus der Bayreuther Bevölkerung die Knappen für Parsifal und die Nibelungenzwerge für die Oper Das Rheingold zu rekrutieren. Nachdem 1876 Kopf und Hals des Drachens für die Oper Siegfried versehentlich in Beirut im Libanon gelandet waren, gelang es Schnappauf, die Requisiten in letzter Minute zurückzuholen.

Gemeinsam mit fünf anderen Bayreuther Handwerksmeistern trug Schnappauf im Februar 1883 Richard Wagners Sarg in die schon zu dessen Lebzeiten angelegte Gruft im Garten des Hauses Wahnfried. Knapp dreieinhalb Jahre danach stand er Wagners Schwiegervater Franz Liszt in dessen letzter Stunde bei. Er drückte dem Gestorbenen die Augen zu und fertigte die Totenmaske an, die sein Sohn Hans 1936 der ungarischen Franz-Liszt-Landesgesellschaft vermachte. Das Sterbehemd, das Schnappauf nach altem Brauch zustand, befindet sich heute im Gedenkraum der dortigen Franz-Liszt-Landesmusikschule.

Bernhard Schnappauf überlebte Richard Wagner um 24 Jahre. Nach langem, schweren Leiden starb er am 13. März 1904 im 64. Lebensjahr.

Family Rhynchocinetidae: Dancing Shrimp. Small, reclusive, often seen in large associations, or at least their large reflective eyes, at night on reefs in the wild. Salient distinguishing feature of the family is a foldable rostrum. Do tango-like dance when moving. Trouble with many stinging-celled animals. Eat zoanthids, mushrooms, soft and some hard corals. Do get along with Anemones and Bubble Corals.
Rhynchocinetes durbanensis Gordon 1936, the Durban Dancing Shrimp. Indo-West Pacific; Red Sea to the Philippines. Need reef tank conditions, but not with much light, lots of hiding spaces.

The Quotable Thoreau
(Princeton University Press, 2011)
Few writers are more quotable than Henry David Thoreau. His books, essays, journals, poems, letters, and unpublished manuscripts contain an inexhaustible treasure of epigrams and witticisms, from the famous ("The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation") to the obscure ("Who are the estranged? Two friends explaining") and the surprising ("I would exchange my immortality for a glass of small beer this hot weather").
The Quotable Thoreau, the most comprehensive and authoritative collection of Thoreau quotations ever assembled, gathers more than 2,000 memorable passages from this iconoclastic American author, social reformer, environmentalist, and self-reliant thinker. Including Thoreau's thoughts on topics ranging from sex to solitude, manners to miracles, government to God, life to death, and everything in between, the book captures Thoreau's profundity as well as his humor ("If misery loves company, misery has company enough"). Drawn primarily from The Writings of Henry D. Thoreau, published by Princeton University Press.
The Quotable Thoreau is thematically arranged, fully indexed, richly illustrated, and thoroughly documented. For the student of Thoreau, it will be invaluable. For those who think they know Thoreau, it will be a revelation. And for the reader seeking sheer pleasure, it will be a joy.
Over 2,000 quotations on more than 150 subjects
Richly illustrated with historic photographs and drawings
Thoreau on himself and his contemporaries

"It is hard to name any American writer more quotable than Thoreau. This is a book that his many readers and admirers will want to read, browse, and return to."—William E. Cain, Wellesley College
"This volume will appeal to both casual, browsing readers and to researchers needing an authoritative source on the words of Thoreau."—H.E. Green, Choice
"pocket-sized masterpiece of treasures"—M. Chris Johnson, Portland Book Review
"This quotable book is a handy guide and should find its way onto the shelves of any library. . . But given its price at under $20, it should be on the shelf of every American."—Mark Y. Herring, American Reference Books Annual
"Cramer's volume bears a special kind of authority that other recent collections of Thoreau quotations do not have. . . this volume is bound to stand the test of time."—Rochelle L. Johnson, College of Idaho, Review 19
"The Quotable Thoreau is not meant to be read at all at once. It should, rather, be savored bit by bit for maximum engagement . . . Readers would be well advised to digest a page or two each day, consider the passages, and accept or reject them according to preference."—Jeffrey Mifflin, Historical Journal of Massachusetts

Cheaters gonna cheat, she just might exclusively use something like Snapchat, and then deletes the app before handing you the phone, one Facebook and Instagram and text messages she appears to be an angel. It's impossible to police their behavior. In my LTR whenever my girl wanted to talk to her ho friends about doing Ho things, they switched to video chats so there would be no evidence.
The other dude started the disrespect, beta billy OP didn't do anything about it. Girl liked the new guy more.
He stepped in and demonstrated that he's better than the OP, fearlessly picking up a girl while she's on a date, of course she'd be interested.
The fact that he's posting asking for advice on how to deal with her, caring about her fee-fees, is the only proof you need that the beta process has already begun/in full swing.
Stop caring so much OP. That path leads to the blue side.
Are there any other helpful subreddits to subscribe to?
If you enjoy being prepared for anything, gundeals is a good place to find stuff you'd be buying anyways, for cheaper. Much like the rest of the internet, there are a lot of people her interested in prepping and sharing their knowledge with likeminded people when they may not encounter many such people regularly, in-person.

Rockshow Trailer
OberthalerF	117	1
In 1975 and 1976 Paul McCartney and Wings undertook the epic Wings over the World tour, the largest scale tour they would ever undertake as a band. From this tour came both the legendary "Wings over America" triple live album and the concert film "Rockshow".
Although filmed on this tour at the enormous Kingdome in Seattle, "Rockshow", originally a cut down version of the concert, was not premiered until November 1980 in New York and April 1981 in London. It was released on Betamax and later on laserdisc. Now for the first time the complete full length concert is being made available fully restored from the original 35mm film and with restored & remastered sound, including a 5.1 mix for the first time. This is Paul McCartney and Wings live on stage in a concert that is destined to live forever!

Challenging Religion
Edited by James A. Beckford, James T. Richardson
In the last half century new religious movements or cults of one sort and another have mushroomed throughout the US and Europe. Increasingly these groups have been met with attempts to monitor and control them on the part of the state, and concerns about the protection of religious 'consumers' have been set against the democratic right to religious freedom. In this collection, leading sociologists of religion from the UK, US, Western and Eastern Europe debate the political, practical and ethical issues which arise from these changes in the religious landscape.
Part I - New Religious Movements Part II - Religious Deviance and Control Part III - Religious Freedom and Empowerment Part IV- Philosophy and Methods

The new Dade County courthouse dedication took place on September 6, 1928. There were many dignitaries among the 7,000 in attendance at the base of the courthouse. The dedication took place on a Thursday.
The courthouse towered 335 feet above street level when it was completed in 1928. It was considered the tallest public building in the United States at the time of the dedication.
The new county courthouse was initially constructed around the old courthouse beginning in 1925. In 1926, the old courthouse was completely vacated and soon after demolished. During the construction of the new building, the courts were moved throughout Miami until the new building was complete and ready for occupancy.

Zimbabwe announces new minister of Cyber Security, Threat Detection, and Mitigation
schedule Oct 17, 2017
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe announced that Patrick Chinamasa, formerly the minister of finance, will now head the new Cyber Security, Threat Detection, and Mitigation ministry in a recent cabinet reshuffling, Quartz reports. George Charamba, a spokesman for the government, said Chinamasa would learn from countries such as China and Russia, which he described as having "done well in ensuring some kind of order and lawfulness in that area (Cyber-space)." Law Expert Alex Magaisa described the new ministry as a move that "shows Mugabe's penchant for expanding instruments of coercion as opposed to protection of fundamental freedoms." This is the latest move from the ZANU PF–controlled government, which Mugabe has led for the 37 years following independence, that has drawn serious concern over the freedom of expression, access to information, and suppression of dissent.

DOES A MOTHER'S LOVE KNOW ANY BOUNDARIES IN LIFE OR DEATH?
Isabelle (Julie Delpy) is a divorcee recovering from a toxic marriage but still forced into contact with her ex because they are co-parenting their daughter Zoe (Sophia Ally). When tragedy strikes this fractured family, Isabelle – a top-level scientist – takes matters into her own hands an unexpected and shocking way.
Born in Paris, actress and filmmaker Julie Delpy started out in French films as a teenager. She soon moved on to such American films as The Three Musketeers (1993). She and Ethan Hawke played two travellers in Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise (1995). Their characters and their relationship inspired two more films, Before Sunset (2004) and Before Midnight (2013). Delpy has also directed and written several films, including 2 Days in Parist (2007).

French literature 1
Foreign Languages and Literature (Classe L-11)-Enrolled from 2016/2017
Starting with authors and exemplary works and by focusing particularly on poetic structures (metrics, phonoprosodics, rhetoric) and thematic structures that characterize and reveal specific writing choices, the course aims to identify how to recognize and define a cultural-literary movement (foundation, evolution, manière) choosing a particular poetic moment as an exemplary one. At the same time, the student will be introduced to the hermeneutics of the literary text, by introducing the basic tools of poetic analysis and their scientific and non-impressionistic application.
Knowledge and understanding: students will learn what is a course of literary history and how to define it, starting from the works and the historical, cultural and artistic framework of a defined period. They will also acquire basic tools of poetry analysis that allow them to analyse the literary text avoiding impressionistic readings. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: ability to draw critical interpretation and interpretative autonomy of medium level applicable to the literary text of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Ability to set transversal readings in the cultural, artistic and social-historical framework, going beyond the impression that art moves in a watertight compartment.
Modenesi Marco
Due to the health emergency and the rules introduced in this regard, the course will take place mainly remotely, in sync, on the Microsoft Teams platform. Meetings are planned in presence with the students of the first year of the course, mainly related to orientation.
The title of the course is : French Symbolism: poetry as metaphysical quest.
It is divided into three teaching units that will be carried out in sequence:
Unità A: Basis and birth of French Symbolism. Baudeairian anthropology. Reading and analyzing "Les Fleurs du Mal"
Unit B: The Poetry of Stéphane Mallarmé
Unit C: The Poetry of Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine.
The publication of "Les Fleurs du Mal" (1857) marks the end of Romanticism and the birth of a new vision of Man, characterized by an existential anguish that spurs him towards a metaphysical research. Poetry, in this sense, becomes the place and a means of this research. The revolution set by Baudelaire is absorbed and continued by the great masters of the first symbolist-decadent generation: Mallarmé, Rimbaud and Verlaine. Through the full reading of "Les Fleurs du Mal" and exemplary texts of the poetic production of the other poets, the course aims to define a fundamental moment for French modern literature, but also to introduce to rigorous methods of analysis of the poetic text.
The course is aimed only at students of the three-year degree in Foreign Languages and Literature (no students of any other LT are allowed) and it takes place in Italian. All literary texts, however, will be read and analyzed in the original language (with translation into Italian during the lesson, by the teacher).
None. The course is held in Italian but all the poems will be read in the original version (French). Students are required, however, to "enroll" in this course(French Literature 1) using the EasyLesson app, the same one they will have to use to book any seat in the classroom.
The course adopts the following teaching methods: frontal lessons; reading, translation and commentary of poems taken from the works belonging to the program; viewing and commenting on images and short films.
The course has a site on the online Ariel platform, to which students must refer for further details and any other materials provided by the teacher. Here below are the mandatory (all those that are not followed by the explicit expression "recommended reading") and recommended reading works, for the various teaching units and the critical reference. Students will also have to view all the videos indicated as an integral part of the course on the Ariel website.

The exam consists of an individual interview (in Italian or in French, according to the student's decision) which opens with the reading, translation and interpretative comment of a poem, chosen by the student. The interviews continue with questions asked by the teacher, interactions between the teacher and the student and the analysis and commentary of the other works at program. The interview has a variable duration, but it lasts an average of twenty minutes and usually takes place in Italian. It can be taken in French at the choice of the student. The interview aims to verify the knowledge of the works read and the texts assigned in the bibliography, the ability to contextualize authors and works, the ability in the exhibition, the precision in the use of specific terminology, the capacity for critical and personal reflection of the student. The final grade is expressed in thirtieths, and the student has the right to refuse it (in this case it will be verbalized as "withdrawn").
International or Erasmus incoming students are invited to contact the teacher promptly. The examination procedures for students with disabilities and/or with DSA must be agreed with the teacher, in agreement with the competent Office.

Accessing Abortion
A run-down of the new Safe Areas Bill
The Equal Justice Project is a Pro Bono charity at the University of Auckland Law School that applies law students' legal training and knowledge to promote social equality, inclusivity and access to justice in the local and wider community. Bronwyn Wilde, Co-Manager of the EJP Communications Team writes about the Contraception, Sterilisation, and Abortion (Safe Areas) Amendment Bill which the charity recently submitted in favour of.
CW: Mentions abortion, sexual assault.
Whether it be outside the hospital or the Countdown on Dominion Road, you've no doubt seen pro-life protestors before. Their confronting signboards' graphic photographs are distressing to behold, even for the general public. Now imagine how it must feel for those who are the direct targets of these guilt-based tactics.
Currently the only available response to these protestors has been to hold counter-protests. A recent example on TikTok included people filming pro-life protestors with comedic commentary such as rating their outfits. While entertaining, such strategies are probably not effective long-term solutions. Fortunately, a Bill is currently going through Parliament which would create safe areas around abortion facilities.
Let me be abundantly clear: abortion is legal in New Zealand. It is no longer up for debate whether these women should be able to exercise their right to choose. Parliament has affirmed that this is a legal and human right. However, the presence of pro-life protestors outside clinics is obstructing some womens' ability to excercise that right. This Bill is important to ensure that accessing an abortion is possible not only in theory, but in practice.
This Bill would create safe areas of up to 150 metres around abortion facilities. Within these areas it would be illegal to "intimidate, obstruct, visually record, or interfere or communicate with" a protected person in a way that would reasonably cause them emotional distress. A "protected person" includes anyone accessing or providing abortion services. Breach these provisions, and you could be subject to a fine of $1,000.
Within these areas it would be illegal to "intimidate, obstruct, visually record, or interfere or communicate with" a protected person in a way that would reasonably cause them emotional distress.
Craccum spoke to Violet*, a young woman who has had an abortion—making her part of the estimated one in four Kiwi women who have had an abortion. Violet spoke to us about how relieved and emotional the Bill made her. "Put simply, a woman does not deserve to be harassed or discriminated against for making an informed medical decision that is best for her body, her mind and her future."
Protestors target already vulnerable individuals with guilt, manipulation or bullying tactics which impinge on the right to choose, medical autonomy, and accessibility. What's more: it's not even effective. Few women regret their abortions, and patients rarely change their minds. All these tactics achieve is creating unnecessary mental and emotional distress for individuals who are already in a fragile state of mind.
Some protestors defend their actions, saying it is important that these individuals have the opportunity to hear about the alternatives to abortion. Firstly, for some individuals, such as survivors of sexual assault, there are no real alternatives. As for others trying to access abortion, do you seriously think someone considering abortion has not already painstakingly weighed up the alternatives over and over in their own head?
Also, individuals would have the opportunity to hear an unbiased account of all these alternatives from the trained medical staff, if only they could get in the door of the facility.
Having spoken to some of these protestors, Violet notes that they aren't necessarily interested in the health of the mother and child. They know little about abortion and are often spreading blatant misinformation about termination timelines and biology. These tactics are not genuinely aimed at informing, they are aimed at scaring women out of even making it out of their car.
Violet spoke about how she once spent a day occupying the space in front of the hospital where pro-life protesters would usually stand, holding signs. She said "multiple people approached my friends and I and thanked us… it became clear that these 'protesters' had done well at intimidating and traumatising multiple people in the wider community over an extended period of time."
"Abortion already is both [intimidating and traumatising], without it being exacerbated by people who don't know you, your story, your circumstances or your body."
So maybe you're thinking, hold up, but don't we already have a bunch of offences for harassment that could cover this behaviour? What makes this offence different is it pays particular attention to the effect of the behaviour on a vulnerable "protected person". Also, by naming this explicitly as an offence, Parliament is actively denouncing this behaviour and showing its support for women, further destigmatising abortion in New Zealand.
This is not a revolutionary concept. Safe areas are actually common in other parts of the world, like Canada and Australia. New Zealand is not going out on a limb, we are merely following the status quo of similar jurisdictions.
Interestingly, safe areas were actually included in the original version of the Abortion Legislation Act which was passed in 2019. However, due to some behind-the-scenes action by David Seymour and a confusing procedural mix up at the final vote in Parliament, safe areas were removed. That's right, because of a mere technicality, women have had to continue to endure these protests for the past two years.
But wait a minute, why is David "I-love-freedom" Seymour opposed to women exercising their freedom to choose? As is often the case, two rights are at conflict here—the right to choose, and the right to freedom of expression.
The concerns around limiting freedom of expression mainly stem from the inclusion of the word "communicating" in the Bill. Some are worried that this wording is too broad, and sets a dangerous precedent going forward about the Government limiting what people can and can't say. Pretty much, in Seymour's view, this is a slippery slope to an Orwellian dystopia. But is that really true? Similar laws in Australia were found to not be a breach of freedom of expression by the country's highest court.
The point of freedom of expression is to protect individuals from having their political views censored by the state. Pro-life protestors are still more than able to express their views outside the 150m boundary of a safe area, in public places, or on the steps of Parliament. They can lobby Parliament, write petitions and submit on Bills.
Freedom of expression is not intended to protect someone's ability to harass and block vulnerable individuals from accessing their healthcare. Or, as Violet says, "their right to harass people based on their beliefs does not trump my right to bodily autonomy".
The Bill is now before the Justice Select Committee, where we will see if any changes are made to the wording. Regardless, with 100 MPs voting in Favour of the Bill at its first reading, and only 15 against, it is likely that safe areas will soon be part of New Zealand law.
Violet hopes this will make a lot of women "feel braver, safer, and carry less guilt about a decision they're ultimately making for themselves".

Ali on the Run Show Episode 209: Catching Up with Andrea Barber
"I'm an open book. I have no shame about anything I have gone through or felt."
Andrea Barber — perhaps best known as Kimmy Gibbler on Full House and the Netflix revival Fuller House — is back on the Ali on the Run Show! And this time, she's a published author! Andrea's first book, Full Circle: From Hollywood to Real Life and Back Again, came out late last year, and it's a hit. (I'm not just saying this because Andrea is a friend: This book is fantastic.) Full Circle isn't a salacious Hollywood memoir or tell-all. It's real and it's honest, and in it, Andrea shares her story in a raw, visceral way. On this episode, Andrea and I catch up on what's new in her life — including why her home is filled with thousands of boxes of Girl Scout Cookies, and what it was like wrapping the fifth and final season of Fuller House — and we talk about some of my favorite parts of the book, including her uncensored stories about depression, anxiety, and divorce.

Fabio Ciardi
This is a book of great scholarship, one that will inspire and enlighten in equal measures. It speaks specifically to religious, but its pages have much to offer anyone seriously interested in the spiritual life.
Koinonia quantity
ISBN: 978-1-905039-33-3 Categories: Contemporary Spirituality, Spirituality, Theological Issues, Understanding Scripture, Understanding your Faith
The question of community is one of the burning issues of the age. Religious communities have many insights to offer. At the same time they have an urgent need of their own to reflect upon the richness of their experience and to engage in a real debate about the spirituality and the theology of community. This book is a lively contribution to the process.
It begins, in the first part, by looking at the New Testament roots of community. Then, in the second part, it goes on to study the theological and spiritual development of religious life, particularly from the viewpoint of the life of communion. Next, in the third part, the book considers the theological basis of religious life. Finally, in the fourth part, there is an outline of a practical methodology for living out and renewing the life of communion.
Fabio Ciardi OMI has written extensively on religious life and has a particular interest in exploring the theological dimensions of spirituality. He is a member of the interdisciplinary study centre of the Focolare known as the Abba School.

Dynamic Dozen rewarded with Rep Honours
Twelve of New South Wales' finest golfers have been rewarded with representative honours for 2021.
With the COVID pandemic again causing the cancellation of the esteemed Australian Interstate Series, Golf NSW has continued to recognise the achievements of our best athletes with State Representative status.
The Golf NSW representatives for 2021 are:
Kelsey Bennett – St. Michael's GC
Harry Bolton – Royal Canberra/ NSW GC
Harrison Crowe – St. Michael's GC
Christopher Fan – Avondale GC
Jeffrey Guan – The Australian GC
Stefanie Hall – The Australian GC
Belinda Ji – Concord GC
Grace Kim – Avondale GC
Jye Pickin – Avondale GC
Andy Richards – Pennant Hills GC
June Song – Avondale GC
Sophie Yip – Concord GC
Selected at senior level for the first time are Avondale's Chris Fan and The Australian Golf Club's Jeffrey Guan & Stefanie Hall.
Jeffrey Guan needs no introduction to followers of amateur golf in this country. The remarkable 16-year-old announced himself with Medallist honours at the NSW Amateur before recording a stirring runner-up finish in the Australian Amateur Championship at Kooyonga in March.
Guan consolidated his growing reputation by claiming the Australian Boys Title at Gold Creek just a few weeks later.
Christopher Fan continues to take great strides in the sport, qualifying for this year's Golf Challenge NSW Open at Concord via the Regional Open Series.
Hall, who has just turned 21, claimed a remarkable three club championships (The Australian, Links Shell Cove, and the Grange (NSW)) during the past 12 months. Hall was also the joint winner of the Australian Golf Club Medal at the end of April.
Others gaining selection include:
Kelsey Bennet: who continues her climb through the ranks of Australian amateur golf, claiming the Women's Tasmanian Open Crown earlier this year. Alongside Sophie Yip, Bennett was a member of the NSW Women's Team, which claimed back-to-back interstate teams crowns in 2018 and 2019.
Harry Bolton: who, alongside Jye Pickin, claimed low amateur honours at this year's Golf Challenge NSW Open, as well as this year's South Australian Amateur Classic.
Harrison Crowe: Crowe claimed the 2020 Victorian Amateur Championship in November last year and continues to be one of the State's brightest talents.
Belinda Ji: A former NSW Junior Girls Champion and still the youngest to ever qualify for the NSW Women's Open, JI was also the inaugural Girls Junior 6's Champion in 2019.
Grace Kim: Australia's Highest ranked female amateur, the back-to-back women's NSW Amateur Champion competed at this year's Augusta National Women's Amateur. Just this month, Kim picked up her first win on US Soil playing on the developmental Cactus Tour.
Jye Pickin: Returning home after a brief stint in college, Pickin played some of the best golf of his young career at this year's Golf Challenge NSW Open to share low amateur honours alongside fellow NSW rep Harry Bolton.
Andy Richards: The Pennant Hills representative returns to the team after being selected for the Australian Interstate Series in 2018. Richards had a great summer, claiming the NSW Amateur Championship and the world-ranked Riversdale Cup.
June Song: The Avondale Golf Club member cruised to victory in the recent Bowra & O'Dea Women's Classic at Lake Karinyup. Her game will undoubtedly continue to improve when she begins her studies later this year at Iowa State University.
Sophie Yip: Yip claimed her first NSW girl's title in December last year at Mt Broughton Golf and Country Club. Selected as an NSW Senior representative at just 14 years old, Yip, alongside Bennett, was a member of the team which claimed back-to-back interstate titles in 2018 and 2019.
Golf NSW's Chief Operating Officer, Mr Graeme Phillipson, said all of the individuals selected had produced impressive results in the last year, despite the difficulties COVID had presented.
"The playing group we have selected have recorded some great results, especially with the difficulties of closed borders and travel restrictions due to the pandemic.
"This is an impressive squad, and they all have impressive resumes."
The NSW Junior Boy's and Girl's teams will be announced at the conclusion of the NSW Junior Championships in July.

The Dukes Retreat is a heaven for nature lovers. The resort sits on the edge of a 500 foot cliff and offers amazing and irresistible views of the Khandala Ghats. One can get the views of the Kune Point Waterfall and Tableland from most of the rooms and restaurants. Apart from being surrounded by abundant natural beauty, the resort is also home to a swimming pool, a luxurious spa and a host of activities for the guests.
The resort gets its name from 'Duke's Nose', a cliff on the Sahyadri range of mountains facing the hotel, named after the Duke of Wellington, who used to spend his holidays in Khandala. When observed with a wink, the cliff looks like the Duke is lying back and taking a nap.
The Dukes Retreat is one of the prettiest honeymoon resorts in Khandala and Lonavala. It is the ideal destination to start your new life amidst romantic weather and the scenic beauty of nature.
Honeymoon couples enjoy watching the rain drops touching the dense green hills with streams of water gushing down the slopes, making them lose themselves romantically in the midst of natural scenic beauty.
The resort offers some exquisite experiences, crafted specially for honeymooners and couples to nurture their new relationship. Memories created with us compel our guests to keep coming back for more.

For those unaware, Morning Musume is my all time favorite music group.
They are a girl group from Japan!
I explain precisely why I like idols in this post.
But if you don't feel like reading that post.. to summarize, they're really super adorable and inspirational. They're normal girls just trying their best!
For now, I'd like to focus on when I went to see their concert in Japan.
Well, let me just start off by saying it was AMAZING!
I've been then their fan since 2003.
And I have been obsessed with them every everrrrryyy single day. So imagine, I've had this thought in my head every day for 10 years!
And finally, in 2013, my dream came true.
The concert was in the afternoon. But all day in the morning on the way to the concert hall, I was teary eyed. I just couldn't believe it was finally happening! Was there going to be a car accident that would prevent me from going? I don't know.. It just can't be real!
The concert wasn't in Tokyo. It was in Utsunomiya – a couple hours from Tokyo. And I had a friend that was kind enough to drive me there. I was so lucky!
Before we went to the hall, we visited a couple of tourist spots.
Look at me with this massive statue (in my Sayumi wear no less!).
Well, after this, we did go to the concert hall.
I saw many female fans there dressed really super cute!
I was so nervous the whole time. My heart was beating so hard and I just felt like I was floating the whole time!
But I had to focus. The doors of the concert hall only opened 1 hour before the actual concert started and I arrived just at that time. My main priority was to go to the merchandise stand and go nuts!
First, I had to go the toilet though to make sure I looked nice! After that, I went to the stand. To my surprise, the line spanned the staircase for 3 floors. I couldn't believe it!!!
When I finally made it to the front of the line to purchase items, I felt really bad. Because I don't speak Japanese.. well, I was totally holding up the line trying to tell them what I wanted to buy!
In the end, a. bought a Riho T-shirt, I bought a Sayumi bag, and we got a couple of pictures.
I feel bad not giving trainees attention when they're not really paid attention to like Morning Musume. I'm soooo sorry!
Shortly after we sat down, the concert had started!
This is the part where I really have a hard time putting it in words..
But Morning Musume is truly amazing.
They are not the most talented girls, but the fact they try their best is just so heartwarming..
Seeing them give their best on the stage made me so happy.
The tension during the concert was so high!
I completely lost myself during the time! I didn't think about where I was or anything external. All I thought about was enjoying the concert in front of me and along with it dancing and singing!
It actually required a lot of my focus doing the cheering!
Did you know Japanese fans have a time during each song to clap and cheer?
You don't just do it randomly whenever you want! Since it was my first time, I was quite unsure.
But by the end of the concert, I was starting to get the hang of it!
Seeing the way Japanese fans enjoy the concert was a completely different experience to me.
For example, I don't have any pictures of the concert. You are not allowed to make videos or take pictures!
But with so many smartphones nowadays, it's such an easy thing to do… yet none of the Japanese fans do it.
Of course, I followed their etiquette too!
It's strange how in the West, it's pretty much a given people will break the rules, but in Japan, they are very strict!
Anyways! Traveling all the way to Japan to see Morning Musume was truly worth it.
I've seen other artists in concerts, but I never saw a concert so enjoyable.
Sure, none of the girls in Morning Musume write the songs or anything.
But I really believe they pour their heart into it.
And after all this time, I felt the tension in my heart was finally released too.
I now know what it is like to see Morning Musume in concert!
Thanks for reading my super long post.
I hope the girls that requested the post read what they wanted to read!
P.S. I actually saw Morning Musume in Paris at Japan Expo in 2010.
It really wasn't the same experience even though I liked the girls in the group at that time much more.
The concert was roughly 1 hour as opposed to 2. And the fans there was a lot less organized with the clapping, etc.
Somehow, I feel that makes a very big difference. When everyone gets into it and you have thousands of people doing it, it's a completely stunning feeling!

BMW partners with Total to build hydrogen station in Munich, Germany
Sep 11th 2006 at 3:52PM
A hydrogen storage tank was installed last week at what will become the first public hydrogen filling station in the Munich metropolitan area. The station is being opened by a partnership between BMW and Total that plans to open three hydrogen filling stations in Europe by the end of 2007. The storage tank will be Germany's first underground storage tank for liquid hydrogen and means the station will look just like a regular gasoline station. The Total station is being built near BMW Group's Research and Innovation Centre and will open later this year. When it does, it will also offer petrol and diesel. Given all this, once the 7 Series (with the hydrogen combustion engine) comes to market, German will have at least one place to fill up.

Q: When does the MLE of the Logistic Distribution exist and when is it unique? I am trying to understand the procedure for finding the MLE of the parameter $\theta$ of a Logistic Distribution. The book I am reading has the following derivation:
I am having trouble understanding how the book's analysis shows that MLE exists and is unique (which is discussed in the last paragraph). The book I am reading has not discussed any theorems on either the existence or the uniqueness of MLEs. Is the last paragraph implicitly based on any theorems? In general, how does one know (and verify) that the MLE of a certain parameter of a certain distribution exists and if is exists, that the MLE is unique? Any help is greatly appreciated!

A: As the Equation 6.1.10 can be likely solved by an iterative numerical method (like Newton-Raphson) using the first derivative and successive point approximations. See this source for operational and convergence details.
The operational question is there a point in the realm of real numbers where the denominator of the first derivative goes to zero. The answer is no.
To demonstrate, if we did set the denominator equal to zero, take the square-root of both sides, and look for solutions indicating a possible singularity:
$ 1 + exp( -(x_i - \theta )) = 0 $
Or:
$ exp( -(x_i - \theta )) = -1 $
Or:
$ -(x_i - \theta ) = log(-1) $
To investigate a solution, I start with some background courtesy of Wikipedia, to quote:

For example, ln(i) = πi/2  or 5πi/2 or -3πi/2, etc.;

So, upon multiplying both sides of the first representation by two, I can successively develop an equivalence:
$2 \log(i) = log(i^2) = log(-1) = πi $
where my log function is more precisely defined as the natural log extended to the realm of complex numbers. Side note, I could have also used in place of πi/2 the value -πi/2, in which case the answer is also -πi.
Now, going back to our denominator set equal to zero, a singularity could theoretically arise when $\theta\ - x_i$ equals πi. However, this would imply either $\theta\ $ or $ x_i$ lie in the complex plane. which they do not.

Sleep apnea is clinically classified as a sleep disorder with potentially deadly effects. When sleep apnea occurs during a person's sleep, their breathing stops and starts without warning. It might happen a few times, or it might happen repeatedly throughout the night. Obstructive sleep apnea is among the most common forms, and it's the one in which a person's throat muscles relax to the point they don't allow air in or out. It sounds dangerous, and it is. For most people, sleep apnea is a minor problem. For others, it's a deadly condition they don't recognize until it's too late.
As mentioned above, obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the muscles in a person's throat relax to the point they don't allow air in or out. This causes narrowing to occur in the airway. The result of not being able to inhale enough air occurs in the blood. Oxygen is needed to provide your blood the energy to flow. Without it, a person risks serious health complications. The good news is most people wake briefly during episodes of sleep apnea. Waking up quickly allows the body to correct the issue at hand. Air is inhaled, the airway is opened, and oxygen levels in the blood go back to normal. Most people who suffer from sleep apnea have no idea this even occurs. They don't remember their bouts of breathlessness or wakefulness, and they go right back to sleep.
How Often Does Sleep Apnea Occur?
People who suffer from this form of obstructive sleep apnea usually wake as many as 30 times per hour throughout the night. They simply don't know this is happening in their lives. This mistakenly assume they slept well throughout the night, but their sleep was substantially disrupted. Disrupted sleep of this nature makes it impossible for the body to reach the level of sleep required to achieve actual rest. The negative results of lack of sleep manifest themselves in other areas of life, such as a person's ability to concentrate and think clearly. Most people with sleep apnea feel regular fatigue.
Who is at Risk for Developing Sleep Apnea?
Not falling into any of these categories is not a guarantee a person won't develop sleep apnea or already have it. It merely means these people are more likely to develop the issue than anyone else. Anyone with a family history of the health issue is also at greater risk for developing these sleep issues.
Typically, your doctor recommends you begin with lifestyle changes and go from there. Breathing assistance machines such as the CPAP are helpful, but they're not ideal for many people living with sleep apnea. The machines require wires and tubes hooked to the body throughout the night, and most people don't want to live like that for the rest of their lives. Even if the result is better sleep, the ability to breathe, the lowered risk of depression, and then some, sleeping every night hooked to a machine simply isn't ideal.
Surgery is an option not to dismiss so easily. Orthognathic surgery is a form of plastic surgery used to change the shape of the jaw and bones to eliminate sleep apnea as a problem. Jaw surgery is an option for many people, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Correcting a problem that has such a profound effect on your overall quality of life is a serious matter.
Corrective jaw surgery allows the surgeon to move your bottom and lower jaw into new positions to enlarge your airway. This prevents your airway from constricting to the point of deterring your ability to breathe at night. The result is better sleep, which translates into other positive effects relating to your overall health. When you sleep better at night, you feel better during the day. Feeling rested allows you to think more clearly, make better decisions, concentrate, and it lowers your risk of developing anxiety and depression.
More and more people are turning to plastic surgery for reasons far beyond aesthetic appeal, and it's a good thing. Modern medicine makes it possible for you to improve your entire life with one call to the doctor. That one call can change everything from your level of confidence to your entire outlook on life, and that's what makes it so beneficial.

The office will get back to you with the information you require, including possible appointment times. You don't have to live with sleep apnea forever, and Dr. Jamali will tell you how.


11:45 service picked me up – the driver was texting or reading texts the entire way. he answered the first text in the middle of a sentence. he was answering a question i had asked him. the driver never finished his answer. he probably forgot he was even speaking when interrupted by the text. that's what o.c.d. texters do.
3:00 we were asked to deplane the jet that was scheduled to leave jfk for seattle at 2:06.
somewhere around 3:30 we were told that our new plane would be leaving from a gate on the opposite side of the airport.
4:30 just prior to take off the flight attendant ripped the earring out of my ear while demonstrating how to inflate the life vest. a collective gasp followed from fellow passengers.
6:00 the televisions in the exit rows finally caught a signal – an hour into the movie. everyone else was watching either sherlock homes or avatar. i decided to tune into a criminal minds episode i had already seen which turned out to be a good choice because ½ way through the show the tv went blank again – but i already knew how the episode ends.
for 6 hours i sat in my chair as it moved through the sky at 496 miles an hour & arrived in seattle safe and sound. all is well.


Some of the 13 mainland hiking trails in the Sleeping Bear Dunes are known for their jaw-dropping views. Others become popular for the access they provide to remote beaches. A few, like Windy Moraine, aren't really popular for anything. And that's not such a bad thing, says writer Bob Butz. Read on.
The little joke in the car while headed out to tackle Sleeping Bear's Windy Moraine Trail was the name.
"Windy what?" my daughter asked.
"Moron," my son replied. Or more probably I said it first—the windy "moron" trail.
"A windy moron is what your father is," my lovely wife said with her eyes before reading the description in our copy of the handy yet unimaginatively titled Hiking Trails put together by the Friends of the Sleeping Bear Dunes (click here for a PDF version).
"Humph," my daughter said in a bored, soil-shmoyal-you've-seen-one-lake-view-you've-seen-them-all kinda way.
I offer this little anecdote as a way to illustrate a niggling little problem for people who spend a lot of time visiting Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore—you can get spoiled pretty quick by all the beautiful scenery at the Lakeshore, especially if you're a hiker.
Windy Moraine Trail—located on Welch Road (just east off M-109)—is one of those short, little Lakeshore "sleeper trails" that often gets passed over by weekend visitors bent on checking out the Dune Climb or the ultra-scenic Pierce Stocking Drive (also off M-109).
Once we found the trailhead parking lot, I remembered it as one my wife and I hiked many years prior. The highlight on that particular late summer day was pulling up and spotting a large parade of wild turkeys parading across the field. After that, the trial loop described in the book as "moderately difficult" never left the woods for most of its 1.5 miles. And half of it is uphill, a gradual incline through rolling a forest of maple and beech.
We didn't see any turkeys this time. But one really cool thing we did happen upon roughly 10 minutes after we started was this colossal-looking old tree—or, rather, what was left of it. Not the kind of natural wonder you're going to find mentioned in any local guidebook, but exactly the sort of unexpected surprise a parent is happy to stumble upon when trekking through the woods with two children who think hiking is a bore.
We let the kids climb for a while before pressing on uphill. I kept thinking while ascending that long, gentle slope what a great workout it would be in winter on a pair of skis. By the description in the guidebook, Windy Moraine Trail is one of those Lakeshore hiking and cross-country ski paths clearly built with the latter in mind.
After we reached the top and the sunny spot overlooking Glen Lake, it was an easy, winding downhill stroll that would have made for a long, wicked-fun run on skis. Aside from a soaring vulture and lots of deer tracks in the sand on backside of the moraine, near the parking lot, there is little else to say about the trail beyond mentioning that Nancy and I definitely plan to put this on our cross-country ski list next winter.


Following the July 16, 1956, performance of the financially strapped Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH under the direction of John Ringling North ceased operation.
But don't despair! The estimable Irvin Feld was on his way!
Irvin Feld and his brother, Israel, had made their mark as pioneers in the burgeoning rock 'n' roll concert tour business. They were familiar with the new arenas that were springing up like mushrooms in cities all across America. Feld suggested THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH become an exclusively indoor presentation. On April 3, 1957, the new tour was put into effect with Feld in charge of booking and promotion.
