5 Seconds Of Summer. Are they Pop? Are they Rock? Who knows? Who really cares? What we really care about is that their debut, self-titled album has finally dropped. After the incredible amount of hype built around the band courtesy of their two huge singles, "She Looks So Perfect" and "Don’t Stop" the excitement for the band’s debut has reached fever level, but does it live up to the hype?
The album opens in a tremendous fashion, launching into the single that made them the well-established band that they are now, "She Looks So Perfect" is still one of the strongest pop songs to come out of the past six months and "Don’t Stop" - it’s follower, has proved that 5 Seconds Of Summer are going to be more than a one-hit-wonder.
Back when ATP! spoke to the guys in 5 Seconds Of Summer, they told us they’d been working and writing with All Time Low and The Madden Brothers, amongst others on the album and these influences have certainly filtered through into the tracks on this album. "Good Girls" has got an early Good Charlotte, pop/rock anthem feel to it. The guitar chords are chunky and the chorus is HUGE, like, really huge.
"Kiss Me Kiss Me" and "18" continue the up-beat, positive vibe that has flowed throughout the album so far. It reminds us that they are just four young, cheeky guys and they want their music to be fun, which this debut has most certainly showed.
"Everything I Didn’t Say" brings us the power anthem that every album needs. The first half of the album goes full throttle, throwing us into a 5SOS frenzy of upbeat pop choruses to please the millions. "Everything I Didn’t Say" takes a slightly different path, more of an Imagine Dragons style, with plenty of “woah-oh’s” to keep listeners content. Oh and what’s this, a little romance coming through in "Beside You"? The charmers. This’ll get the girls all up in a fluster, guaranteed.
Enough of the soppiness, the album kicks right back into gear with "End Up Here," quoting Bon Jovi and throwing handclaps in is always a winner in our books. It brings back those sunshine-pop melodies that 5SOS are just really great at creating, (with a little help from their friends). "Heartbreak Girl" is one of our final appetizers in this sweet-filled delight of an album, whipping us up into a giant 5 Seconds Of Summer musical pudding. Yes, it may be a little TOO sweet but that doesn’t mean we won’t stop coming back for more.
There’s been an awful lot of discussion about the boys in 5 Seconds Of Summer recently, and it seems a lot of people can’t make up their mind on the band, a bit like Mikey not having a clue what color to dye his hair next. Just take them as they are, four guys living out their dream by playing their instruments and dominating stages across the world with their pop/rock melodies.
5 Seconds Of Summer's self-titled debut album will be released on July 22nd (US/Canada) // June 30th (UK) // June 27th (Australia) via Capitol Records.

I2P appears to not be listening for any sort of traffic and I'm not sure why. If I start the service in /etc/init.d then it looks like the i2p script runs for a while, and it will return a status of "started" for a while, but I cannot see any new ports listening and after a while it begins to return a status of "crashed". It also appears that there is no logfile being created in the directory that the i2p initscript wants to write its wrapper.log file in. So I'm wondering if the initscript is running for a while and then just failing to even start the router? I did do a world update recently, so perhaps this could be an issue with java?
Ah, yes. I think this could have something to do with it.
I fixed that issue and now I can log onto eepsites but I cannot access the router. nmap confirms that 7657 is not open.
Fixed it. For some reason I was sending traffic towards the console to privoxy.
Sorry to bump an old thread of mine, but a similar issue has arisen (though I can't chock it up to not having specified a Java VM). Here's my java-config output.
i2p starts, runs for a little while and then crashes. Stopping it via the init-script returns an error that start-stop-daemon can't find any processes matching the PID given in /var/run/i2p.pid and I've confirmed that that pidfile is being created and destroyed as it ought to be. I'm convinced that this is another case of me screwing up the environment within which my i2p service has to run, but I'm not exactly sure what I've done to screw it up. As I'm writing this I'm also remembering that I did update my kernel recently (though I don't know whether that came before this issue popped up or not).
edit: Obviously, switching the VM allows i2p to run normally. I'm just not sure why it was working with IcedTea 3 for a while and then not.

Interactable objects appear in-game framed by a white reticule, which is labeled at the top by whatever text was entered in the object’s Name field in the editor. If you leave the object’s default name in, that’s how the name will appear to other players. If you have named the object according to your own private, cryptic naming convention for map objects, that’s how the name will appear to other players.
To properly center an invisible object, place its Y-coordinate at -1/100 of the object’s size, relative to the desired center. Revisiting the example above, to place a 1000-ft invisible object at the dead center of the map, its coordinates should be X=0, Y=-10 (i.e. -1/100 * 1000), Z=0. For a 500-ft object, use Y=-5.
Excellent. Thank you. We love these tips.

People living in Ghana’s mining communities may now be better protected from deadly mercury poisoning.
On March 23, Ghana ratified the Minamata Convention on Mercury – a real step forward for communities affected by mercury pollution. Mercury, a toxic liquid metal, is used in small-scale gold mines all over the world to separate the gold from the ore, and then released into air and water. Ghana is one of Africa’s top gold producers, and about a million people work in its small gold mines. Workers and nearby communities are directly exposed to mercury.
The Minamata Convention was adopted by governments around the world in 2013 to protect the environment and people. Mercury causes brain damage and other severe health conditions, and it can kill. The convention obliges governments to reduce mercury use in artisanal and small-scale gold mining, the largest source of mercury pollution in the world. It also requires governments to end particularly harmful practices, such as burning a gold-mercury amalgam in residential areas, and to protect children from exposure.
When I researched mercury use in Ghana, I watched miners mix liquid mercury in pans filled with ore in order to attract the gold particles. They then held this gold-mercury amalgam over an open fire to burn off the mercury and retrieve the raw gold. Even children were working with mercury. One of them, 12-year-old “Kwame,” told me: “I burn it on my own, where I get fire, at my mother’s house or any place.” Kwame carried a small bottle of mercury with him at all times. He and his fellow miners had never been told about its dangers.
Up till now, Ghana’s government had a lax attitude toward mercury, allowing its sale and use. I visited a store where mercury was sold in small wrapped plastic balls, in plastic bottles, and in large containers too heavy to lift. Ghana was also notably absent when the convention was negotiated. But this has started to change. With donor support, Ghana has begun training health workers on mercury’s harmful effects and taken some steps to address child labor in its mines.
Ghana’s ratification of the Minamata Convention is good news for ordinary Ghanaians, especially its children. Now the real work of putting it into practice should begin.

If you’re looking to sell your home in Ames, a wet basement can be a deal breaker. Home buyers are not looking to purchase someone else’s problem, and if they find out that the basement floods, they will often back out of the deal. Home inspectors are trained to find the signs of wet basements, and they will make finding these signs a top priority.
A wet basement is easy to ignore during dry weather in Story County. But when a major storm hits, the amount of water that comes in can be hard to predict. Homeowners that previously only had a small leak once or twice a year can be shocked and disappointed to find that their basement has several inches-even feet- of water seemingly out of the blue. How serious a basement flood can be is sometimes hard to tell, and unless the investment is made in a basement waterproofing system, the risk of such a flood is always present. If you know stormy weather is ahead, then it’s a great idea to deal with the problem before it gets out of hand.
Whether you would like to do the job of waterproofing your basement yourself or want to call in a professional in Story County, it is important that you find out the source of such wetness and leaks.The search should start outside your home. You need to find out exactly how the water is coming in. Is there a drainage system, a downspout or a gutter that is blocked and which is serving as an entry point for all that water? The foundation of a home should be such that it should prevent the water from coming into it. Getting rid of any water problems will ensure that your basement stays dry at all times.

The kind of market we are in right now is ridiculous, and nowhere was that more apparent than the way the financial media fawned over the recent earnings report from Twitter, Inc. (NASDAQ:TWTR).
“Twitter Makes a Profit” is what most headlines said, in some form or another.
However, when investors dig into the actual results, although TWTR stock technically did make a quarterly profit, how it got there is the real story. These headlines are noise and most investors get duped by them instead of drilling down into the real story, which is what my stock advisory newsletter, The Liberty Portfolio, does.
So, as we dive into these numbers, remember that every TWTR stock bull thinks this is a fast-growing company deserving of a ridiculous price-earnings ratio and valuation.
Revenue grew 2% year over year to $732 million. That’s right, two percent. So much for “fast-growing”. Yet, somehow, TWTR stock investors are supposed to cheer the fact that it was the first increase all year long after three quarters of declining revenue?
Indeed, for the year, revenue was down 3% to $2.4 billion. That’s right, down.
If you haven’t already guessed that user growth is, well, non-existent, then you haven’t been paying attention. Stop tweeting and keep reading.
Monthly active users were flat from the previous quarter. They increased by only 12 million YOY, or about 4%. One look at the chart of subscribers shows that they are clearly leveling out — and have been for some time. If you want to see how TWTR stock management wants to bury this information, there is no mention of how many people were added in its slide presentation — just the fact that Twitter stock is allegedly now driven by 330 million subscribers.
By the way, US revenue fell 8% YOY. The growth is now coming entirely from international increases. This tells us that pretty much any American who wants to use Twitter is using it. Done. Given that Twitter was busted in a recent exposé about censoring political posts and individuals it doesn’t like, that will only lead to less usage.
So now we get into the meat of the TWTR stock story. If Twitter fails to grow its audiences, advertising revenues will continue to flatten or decline, which means, somehow, TWTR has to raise rates to squeeze more margin and growth from the existing subscriber base.
I don’t see how the company does this.
But as for this wonderful profit that Twitter stock generated, ask yourself how that can happen on flat user growth and a tiny revenue increase.
TWTR stock cut $68 million from its R&D and another $71 million from sales and marketing. And if I stop going out to dinner and make food at home, and stop paying my gardener and stop purchasing alcohol, I can cut my household budget to profit, also.
Twitter lost $457 million this year, and if the only way to generate a profit is to cut yourself to death, then what’s the point? Twitter stock soared on this news and now has come down a bit. Still, it’s trading at $33.30, up 7.59%, as I write this — far above where it traded during last year’s failed buyout talks.
If it wasn’t bought out for a perceived premium of $23 or so then, how could it be worth $33 now? A $23 billion valuation for a company that can’t even turn a profit with President Trump’s tweeting barrage is doing something wrong.

MAJOR investment in resources, plant and machinery has helped to fuel significant growth at a Hull manufacturer.
Hurst Plastics, in Somerden Road, manufactures doors and related products for clients across the UK and Europe.
The family-owned firm, which is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary, has this year seen sales of its fire doors rise more than 40 per cent, with sales of composite doors within the trade and commercial markets growing by 10 and 20 per cent respectively.
Following a period of rapid growth, staffing levels at the company are up to more than 120.
Now, to meet rising demand, the firm has invested almost £1m in its operations, enabling it to ramp up production at its two factories in the city while improving customer experience through the development of its account management system.
Sales director Mark Atkinson has been with the company since it was founded.
He said: “The business went through a significant growth period, then like all companies in the industry, in 2008 we saw a decline in demand due to the recession.
“But we laboured through, adapted the business accordingly, and once we had worked our way through the difficult years we began to reinvest as much as we could, in preparation for the future.
One of the latest ventures has been a £500,000 investment in 15 new eco-friendly Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, which have been supplied by Northside Truck and Van in Henry Boot Way.
Jon Brake, Hurst Plastics’ transport manager, said: “We deliver up to 7,500 door panels and 1,500 composite doors a month so it’s vital to optimise speed, accuracy and efficiency, whilst reducing our impact on the environment.
The lion’s share of Hurst Plastics’ sales comes from composite doors, with fire doors representing almost a quarter of the firm’s turnover.
However, demand for more “mature” products continues to grow, and each week the company manufactures at least 2,000 door panels a week.
Mr Atkinson said: “We are very pleased with our performance over the past 12 months, particularly in composite doors and composite fire doors, which have both delivered impressive growth.
“We are very encouraged by these results, particularly in the commercial sector where there is plenty of further growth potential in social and local authority housing.
Mr Atkinson paid tribute to the staff at Hurst Plastics, who he said were without doubt the company’s greatest asset.

The family is back on the road again. This trip will keep us in our own backyard, visiting some places in Oklahoma that we have not seen before, and allowing us to take the kids to some of our favorite places of years ago.
We are traveling with my Mom & Dad (PK & KK), and my brother and his wife (Scott & Erin). This is our 3rd trip together as a family unit.
It is less than 45 minutes from Tulsa to Muskogee, which was the location of our first stop – the Five Civilized Tribes Museum.
A visit to the Five Civilized Tribes Museum in Muskogee, OK.
As most people know, the Native Americans were displaced by our government in the 1800s to land west of the Mississippi River, Many of the Indians ended up in Indian Territory. Indian Territory later became Oklahoma Territory, and later the Great State of Oklahoma, in 1907.
The Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokee, Creek, Chocktaw, Chickasaw, and Seminole) were very advanced groups of people, with democratic governments that rival what we have now.
The museum is housed in a two-structure building that has a long history that has served many purposes over its years. The first floor is full of exhibits about the history of the tribes. We learned that Indians in the southeast United States bought slaves from the Europeans and were slave owners. Many slaves were brought to Indian Territory when they were displaced.
Erin was able to request a book that contained the Dawes Rolls, and she found her great, great grandmother in there. She was required to wear white cotton gloves while looking through the book. That was a neat way to connect with our earlier generations.
There was a neat display comparing the seal of the Cherokee Nation to the seal of the State of Oklahoma. They are very similar, and no doubt the state borrowed the features of the Indian seal when it was time to develop our own.
After we had been in the museum about 20 minutes, Miles walked up to me and asked if we had $7,000 to spend on art. I told him “not today”. The 2nd floor of the museum was holding a competitive art exhibit. Miles had been checking it out and had found his favorite painting, which had a hefty price tag on it.
We checked out all of the artwork, and most of us voted on our favorite pieces, then we hit the road. By this time it was about Noon, and we were ready to eat. Fortunately for us the museum is on the grounds of Honor Heights Park. This is a very large and green park, filled with trees and azaleas. The park hosts the Azalea Festival each spring. We have never been, but have heard it is beautiful..
We lucked out and found a shelter, which had just been hosed off, and was currently unoccupied. We had a great picnic, comprised of all-american things like sandwiches, potato salad, and cole slaw.
There was a good sized party or reunion of sorts going on at the other end of the pond from where we were eating. Some folks down there hopped in a paddleboat shaped like a giant swan. They rode it down to our end of the pond, and this irritated the ducks near us to no end! They honked and carried on, and acted annoyed at this giant swan invading their space. The geese eventually gave in, and decided to swim after, and follow, the giant swan.
Giant Swan Paddleboat getting chased at Honor Heights Park.
After lunch, we were off to our next step, the USS Batfish. The Batfish is a submarine that served in WWII, and has been on permanent display in Muskogee, Oklahoma, since the early 1970s.
The Batfish is visible from the turnpike, and I have seen it as I drove by many times, but this was my first time to visit. Probably the most amazing thing I learned during this visit was that the Batfish was named after a real sea creature called… the batfish. It lives on the bottom of the ocean, and they even had one on display in the museum.
We were able to tour the submarine, which was very interesting. At 6’1, I suspect I may have been too tall to serve on a sub. The portals between portions of the sub were very small, and it took a real concerted effort on my part not to bang my head against the ship.
Kids walking onto the USS Batfish in Muskogee, OK.
Mallory, Stephanie, and Miles at the controls of the USS Batfish. Full Speed Ahead!
The museum only offers self-guided tours, but we were fortunate enough to be following a group of Cub Scouts, which was being given a very interesting tour by a tour guide. It was wonderful to hear the stories of what happens when the sub is being stalked by destroyer and would begin to start dropping depth charges over the side. The tour guide did a great job of being dramatic and bringing the experience to life.
The USS Batfish was not just any submarine; it was a highly decorated submarine. It sank 14 subs during WWII, including an astonishing 3 sub kills in 4 days! The Batfish was also the last non-nuclear submarine in use by the US Navy. By any measure, it has a great history, and I am disappointed that we had not made it a priority to visit before now.
The attached museum had a nice collection of items related to the batfish, and WWII. There were many original newspapers, from V-Day and other important dates related to the war. There were also War Bonds, medals from various wars, including the Civil War, and a variety of other items. One Life magazine from the 40s had a picture of a military officer on the front, with the quote “Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition”. God Bless the USA!!
After the Batfish experience, we were off to our final destination of the day – Western Hills Guest Ranch, in Sequoyah State Park, located on Lake Fort Gibson. This is a state-run lodge that opened in 1956. It was very, very fancy in hits heyday, with its western motif, and it is still a fascinating place today.
The resort is a combination of the lodge (hotel) and cabins. The lodge is configured so that it wraps around a central green space and very large keyhole-shaped pool. PK and KK’s room is on the first floor and opens out to the pool area. It is the official congregation area of our clan.
After check-in, nearly all of us jumped into KK’s truck, with 3 of us in the cab and the rest riding in the bed. We were in search of a suitable beach area to do some swimming and grilling. We departed from the lodge and were on the road a minute when I asked if Marissa (age 6) was in the bed, as I could not see her. It turns out she was not! We thought she was in the back, and they thought she was in the front. We hustled back to the lodge, and found Marissa playing on KK & PK’s patio. Disaster had been averted!
After we found the beach for us, we changed into our swimmies back at our rooms, and went back to the beach. The water was cool and comfortable, and if you could ignore the smell of fish, it was very enjoyable.
We grilled out chicken on our grill-to-go, and enjoyed food and conversation for the duration of the afternoon and evening.
At the end of the day, Miles put his Boy Scout skills to good use, and made us a great campfire that we used to make smores on. After we gorged ourselves on smores, we tended to the fire for a while, and then came back to the lodge.
Miles creates the perfect campfire.
The lodge scene was amazing. We arrived around 9:45. The lodge had hosted a round-up line dancing contest that evening, and it was just wrapping up. There must have been several hundred people both at the line dancing and at the pool. It was like stepping back in time. Old folks, young people, all shapes and sizes. Everybody was having a great time.
Stephanie, Marissa and I went back to the room to clean up and head to bed. But Miles (age 11) and Mallory (age 9) stayed at PK and KK’s room and played a game of Phase 10, a popular card game, for a few hours. They finally wrapped up around Midnight, and came back to our room. However, they forgot Miles’ shoes, and they went back to their grandparent’s room to get them. Unfortunately, they forgot the room number they were staying in and were banging on the wrong room at Midnight! The old lady who they woke up was not very amused.
Day 1 of our Oklahoma Road Trip has been a success.

The design of this is great. It is the perfect solution if you prefer not to carry a purse. I usually keep it in my back jeans pocket or coat pocket. The case is not bulky and most people would not even suspect it is a card holding case. It feels sturdy and protects the phone when dropped. It easily holds three cards.
While not much of a hiker/outdoors man, I still wear this product everyday.
I use this product as a portable drawing pouch. As an artist, I like to have a sketchbook and pens/pencils with me at all times and this pouch makes it so easy to have a few options handy on the go. The sketchbook is roughly 4.25"x5.75" and is a snug fit in back pouch, but I can zip and unzip it without any trouble at all. The front pouch holds numerous (~7 of varying thicknesses) pens/pencils/markers while still opening and closing without any issue. The phone slot in the front fit my Galaxy Alpha perfectly even while it has a case over top it. Depending on where I'll be, the pen pocket next to it either holds my tablet stylus without me having to worry about it falling out, or a Hugsby pen light, which also fits perfectly.
Only really problem I've had with this product is the size. Because it's a bit large, carrying it on a belt can take some getting use to. This is especially so when wearing a coat or un-tucked button down because if it lays over top the pouch, will leave a weird bulge. Tucking either behind the top of the pouch helps alleviate that though, so it's not too bad.
Glue didn't work, still had to pay someone to replace screen Review by Kenneth S.

An excellent bare-handed fighter who becomes great when promoted and is a good candidate for wearing the power ring. He is also a useful healer.
Gong, as a monk, does not believe in the use of weapons. His only weapons are his bare hands, which actually are quite effective.

When I was six, I asked my grandmother, “Can you tell me a story about when you were growing up?” She retrieved faded black-and-white photographs from the pull-out drawers in her piano room and described a few treasured moments from the past. In following years, I would ask that question many times.
Today, I still believe in the power of stories.
I’ve made it my personal mission to create compelling narratives with strong visual aesthetics that honor, connect, and empower individuals and communities — that build a culture where the values of justice, freedom, and hope are defended and practiced.
I would love to hear your story or help you tell it!

Inevitably, with the release of Fast Apps came usage questions from users. So, here's a list of questions I've been asked along with their useful responses, which I'm sure will help others too. More questions and answers will be added, as they are asked in the future.
Just click on a question to view its answer.
If you have a question that isn't answered here, please do not hesitate to contact me and I'll add it below along with a suitable answer.
Q: Why can't I login to Fast Cal? I enter the correct username and password but I never see the admin screen.
A: If the login appears to stall and not get you anywhere, I would guess that there's a problem with the session_save_path() on your server.
Session path "/var/lib/php/session" is not writable for PHP!
Take this information to your web host and ask if they can change the server settings for you to make the reported path writable. This may not be possible on some shared hosting servers, but they might be able to set an alternative location where sessions can be stored instead.
Q: Why won't Fast Cal save my changes or create new entries?
A: Make sure you've CHMOD'd the "fast_cal/", "fast_cal/_entry/" and "fast_cal/_status/" folders to 755. This gives the Fast Cal scripts permission to write (save) your edits in the appropriate files and create new ones on the server.
You can also try CHMOD'ing to 777 if 755 doesn't work for you.
For more information on how to CHMOD, please read this very helpful article by PHPJunkyard.
Q: Why can't I edit/delete the entries I uploaded from the demo pack? I can only edit/delete newly created ones.
A: Check file ownerships. For example, if your server is running in libphp5 mode (rather than FastCGI), files uploaded via FTP will have different ownerships than files created programmatically via scripts on the server (libphp5 runs as user httpd.httpd), so you might need to reset (chown/chgrp) the files in the "fast_cal/", "fast_cal/_entry/" and "fast_cal/_status/" folders after upload.
FastCGI doesn't have the ownership problem because it runs as your own user.group, so check in your web hosting control panel to see if you can switch PHP mode over to this. If you can't do it yourself, check with your web host.
Q: How can I restrict what HTML tags and inline-style attributes are used in Fast Cal?
A: There is an optional setting in the main config file that allows or disallows the use of the style attribute inside Fast Cal entries. Also in the main config file you will find a custom array function to strip only the HTML tags that you define (e.g. - keep <ul> and <li> but remove <table>, <tr> and <td>).
This could be useful for correcting content that has been copied and pasted from another source, that would otherwise introduce 3rd party inline-styles that conflict with the look of your design.
Q: Why can't I login to Fast Logs? I enter the correct username and password but I never see the admin screen.
Q: Why won't Fast Logs save my changes or create new entries?
A: Make sure you've CHMOD'd the "fast_logs/_entries/" and "fast_logs/_status/" folders to 755. This gives the Fast Logs scripts permission to write (save) your edits in the appropriate files and create new ones on the server.
Q: Why can't I edit/delete the logs I uploaded from the demo pack? I can only edit/delete newly created ones.
A: Check file ownerships. For example, if your server is running in libphp5 mode (rather than FastCGI), files uploaded via FTP will have different ownerships than files created programmatically via scripts on the server (libphp5 runs as user httpd.httpd), so you might need to reset (chown/chgrp) the files in the "fast_logs/_entries/" and "fast_logs/_status/" folders after upload.
Q: How can I restrict what HTML tags and inline-style attributes are used in Fast Logs?
A: There is an optional setting in the main config file that allows or disallows the use of the style attribute inside Fast Logs entries. Also in the main config file you will find a custom array function to strip only the HTML tags that you define (e.g. - keep <ul> and <li> but remove <table>, <tr> and <td>).
Q: Why can't I login to Fast Feed? I enter the correct username and password but I never see the admin screen.
Q: Why won't Fast Feed save my changes or create new entries?
A: Make sure you've CHMOD'd the "fast_feed/_entry/" and "fast_feed/_status/" folders to 755. This gives the Fast Feed scripts permission to write (save) your edits in the appropriate files and create new ones on the server.
Also make sure that Fast Feed is installed at the root of your website, that is, in the main folder.
A: Check file ownerships. For example, if your server is running in libphp5 mode (rather than FastCGI), files uploaded via FTP will have different ownerships than files created programmatically via scripts on the server (libphp5 runs as user httpd.httpd), so you might need to reset (chown/chgrp) the files in the "fast_feed/_entry/" and "fast_feed/_status/" folders after upload.
Q: Will you help me install a news scroller/content slider for Fast Feed?
A: If the back-end admin panel is working, and the rss.xml file is being written/updated every time a change is made, then Fast Feed is setup as it should be and my work is done.
Fast Feed is a back-end tool only and any scroller script samples that come with the download pack are simply included as a starting point for you to get display ideas for your website. The news scroller is not Fast Feed - only the admin panel and generated .xml file are Fast Feed. I'm sorry, but I am unable to offer support for any front-facing scripts - I just don't have the time. Please seek help instead from the actual developers of any news scroller or content slider scripts that you'd like to use.
If you want help in configuring the sample scroller that comes with the download pack, which is the Pausing RSS Scroller from Dynamic Drive, you should head over to the Dynamic Drive forums and ask for help there.
Q: How can I restrict what HTML tags and inline-style attributes are used in Fast Feed?
A: There is an optional setting in the main config file that allows or disallows the use of the style attribute inside Fast Feed entries. Also in the main config file you will find a custom array function to strip only the HTML tags that you define (e.g. - keep <ul> and <li> but remove <table>, <tr> and <td>).
Q: Why can't I login to Fast Warn? I enter the correct username and password but I never see the admin screen.
Q: Why won't Fast Warn save my changes?
A: Make sure you've CHMOD'd the "fast_warn/_content/" folder to 755. This gives the Fast Warn scripts permission to write (save) your edits in the appropriate file.
Q: Why can't I edit the entry I uploaded from the Fast Warn demo pack?
A: Check file ownerships. For example, if your server is running in libphp5 mode (rather than FastCGI), files uploaded via FTP will have different ownerships than files created programmatically via scripts on the server (libphp5 runs as user httpd.httpd), so you might need to reset (chown/chgrp) the "fast_warn/_content/index.txt" file after upload.
Q: How can I restrict what HTML tags and inline-style attributes are used in Fast Warn?
A: There is an optional setting in the main config file that allows or disallows the use of the style attribute inside Fast Warn. Also in the main config file you will find a custom array function to strip only the HTML tags that you define (e.g. - keep <ul> and <li> but remove <table>, <tr> and <td>).

It’s that time of year again when everyone is setting out New Year’s Resolutions and unfortunately it won’t be long till a majority of people start breaking them. There are many reasons why New Year Resolutions don’t stick- they may be unrealistic, there is a lack of self-discipline or life gets “too busy”. Our New Year resolution is all about YOU and what we can do to make 2019 a healthy and pain-free year for you. Our goal is not only to maintain but also to improve the high standard of care you've experienced with us.
In many cases there is more than one factor contributing to your pain, especially if it is recurrent or has been there for a long time. Often getting rid of your pain is the easy part. Stopping it from coming back is the real challenge. We strive to provide you with lasting freedom from pain, so your treatment program will include specific techniques and exercises that correct the underlying cause of your problems, not just give you temporary relief.
Chiropractic uses gentle, scientific methods for the relief of pain, spinal misalignment and nerve irritation. It is also effective in addressing many sports related injuries, like sprains and strains. If prevention sounds like a better idea, chiropractic also helps to keep your body functioning at its best.
Now it’s your turn to make 2019 a healthy and pain-free year!

The late response of Alex Mauer - Leonard J. French, Esq.
Alex has filed a late response. It appears that she attempted to submit an unsigned version on Sept 26th, 2017, after I submitted and served our Request for an Entry of Default, and then submitted a signed response on September 27th, 2017. The Judge’s Clerk had it put on the docket and made part of the record.
I will be filing an appropriate response asking the Judge to strike the response, dismiss her claims, impose sanctions for the late filing, and hold her in contempt for disobeying the Court’s Order. I will be asking the Judge to sustain the Entry of Default.
Interestingly, this response seems to admit many of Imagos’s allegations.

Earlier this month, the Obama Administration announced that provisions of the Affordable Care Act requiring employers to provide health insurance to their employees, provided that they employ 50 or more workers, will be delayed until 2015. Earlier this week, the House of Representatives voted to delay another Affordable Care Act provision mandating that Americans either purchase health coverage or pay a penalty.
As readers can see, many key provisions of the Affordable Care Act are either being delayed or are being otherwise scrutinized by various branches of government. However, one provision that should be revisited for the benefit of Americans on Medicaid is currently not being challenged.
Many vulnerable Americans, including some ill and injured persons receiving Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits, rely on Medicaid for much of their healthcare. The Affordable Care Act somehow leaves American adults already receiving state-run Medicaid out of a new mandate requiring Medicare, Medicaid expansion plans, and most private insurers to provide coverage for a variety of preventative screenings and services.
A recent study published in Health Affairs indicates that the preventative screening coverage recommended presently by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force will not mandatorily extend to most current recipients of state-run Medicaid programs under the Affordable Care Act.
Preventative screenings designed to detect early signs of cancer and heart disease among other conditions are critical for maintaining the health and well-being of many American adults. As various branches of government contemplate how to delay or reform the Affordable Care Act in order to protect financial interests of businesses and individuals alike, they should also revisit the provision which would leave vulnerable Americans without access to necessary preventable screening coverage.

HELP My House Is Haunted | Most Haunted MOVE ALONG!
Help my house is haunted is a tv show which is aired on REALLY channel. Really is the home for many paranormal shows come 2018. But how well do they all do and what really works? ARE THEY DIFFERENT? People dont want to see the same old thing. people want a change and something new to watch.
and most tv shows have the idea that they need to fake to keep people interested. HELP my house is haunted i take my hat off to them “Zak i think produces the show” it goes to show you dont need to fake, to keep your viewers interested..
Just look at most haunted, alot of people scream fake, and alot of people have posted evidence to suggest most haunted is fake, there is heaps of evidence to look through and the show is produced for ENTERTAINMENT Purposes only as stated at the start.. means they can do what they want. its only entertainment and i feel that is what is happening.
Its time to let others have the “repetitive” spotlight. People only watch most haunted because its shown on tv…, if it wasn’t shown attention would be most focused on the new shows.
All of the OTHER current shows on really have been VERY OVER DRAMATIC, people not knowing what the equipment they use really picks up. a very unpleasant watch!
YOU DONT NEED TO BE DRAMATIC YOU DONT NEED TO FAKE.
Great Personalities, A great story, great cinematography is all you need.
well done guys i hope you continue this path..
i need you to watch something to let me know what you think. i have two videos now .

You can log onto any PC in the lab using your academic username and password. You are most likely to run Maple from a PC in the math lab (SH 306). Maple 13 is also available on all of the CCC UNIX Alpha servers (ie. Fuller labs FL 222).
After logging on, you can open Maple 13 by double clicking on the icon for Maple 13 Classic Worksheet. At the beginning of each lab, in addition to opening Maple, you should open Microsoft Internet Explorer by clicking on the icon. The labs will be posted on the web each week at the address given below. When you open the internet explorer, you will automatically be on WPI's home page www.wpi.edu/. To get to the location of the lab, type in the address bar www.math.wpi.edu. Then click on Resources, then Academic Resources and then Current Course Materials. You should add this location to your favorites so that you can get there quicker in the future. Here, you should also choose the course that you are currently registered for and then click on the lab for that week.
Every Maple lab will have a background that will explain the mathematical concepts as well as the Maple commands for that week. The labs will reinforce what you are learning in your course. At the end of the background, you will find exercises that will be completed during lab time and handed in at the end of class. The labs must be completed with a partner. You should not collaborate with any other partners. The labs should also be completed using proper format, ie. title, names, labeling of exercises and answers to questions written in text. It is recommended that you create a template in Maple that could be used for every lab.
If this is the first time you have saved this worksheet, choose a name that you would like to save this file as with the extension .mws. If you forget to type in the .mws extension, Maple adds it for you. After the first time you have saved a worksheet, selecting Save saves your changes to the same file. An important thing to keep in mind is to save your worksheet often since it is very frustrating to lose unsaved work. A saved worksheet can be reopened in Maple by selecting the Open option from the File menu. You will need to re-execute all Maple commands necessary to continue working on a worksheet after it has been closed.
To print out a worksheet, you must be running Maple and have the worksheet loaded that you want to print. When you select the Print option from the File menu or click on the printer icon at the top of your Maple worksheet, you will notice a dialogue box will appear. You should make sure the printer name selected is sh_ma2. It is preferrable to print 2 pages per sheet to save paper. To do this, you should select the option properties in the print dialogue box and then select finishing. Here you will see the option for printing two pages per sheet and you should also click on the print page borders option as well. Then you should click the OK button and then another OK button. Print only one copy of the lab.
at the Maple prompt. This will bring up a help screen. If you scroll down to the bottom of this help screen, you will find several different examples of how the command in question can be used. When you are finished with the help window, you should close it.

We needed a contractor that could take the work I envisioned and, along with the architects, design and build something that was modern but simple with very high quality. It’s difficult to build things that appear simple—it takes huge amounts of energy and mindfulness in design and a significant level of craftsmanship to implement.
The expansion and upgrades to property manager East Brown Cow’s Canal Zero brings renewed life to an underutilized area of Downtown Portland. Nested between three corporate office buildings, the area now attracts pedestrian activity by introducing new granite pavers, trees, seating and a pavilion building, featuring restaurant and retail space.
Focal to the new space, the new free-standing building was built to a unique circular design featuring a mixture of exposed architectural concrete and a custom curtain wall system. It was built utilizing an innovative Cobiax Technology system that lightens the load of the roof slab, allowing it to span the distance between exterior walls, as opposed to a conventional slab roof that would require support columns.
Finishes include landscaping, granite slab benches and rooftop lighting on the surrounding buildings to create a lively ambiance in the space. The entire plaza, including the pavers, stairs and retaining wall, was constructed of local granite quarried from the coast of Maine.

The recent release of Project Censored: The Movie, which encourages media consumers to pay attention to what they're being fed and by whom, is well-timed for readers in Sonoma County and beyond.
This past month, five radio stations—KSRO, the Mix, Hot 101.7, the River and Froggy—were sold by East Coast corporate parent Maverick Media back to the local ownership of Sonoma Media Group, helmed by Lawrence Amaturo. Similarly, rumors have continued to spread about Sonoma Media Investments, which already owns the Press Democrat, Petaluma's Argus-Courier and the Sonoma Index-Tribune and other associated publications, and which founder Darius Anderson has hinted will be buying even more newspapers.
Project Censored: The Movie, which premiered at the Sonoma International Film Festival earlier this month, chronicles the nonprofit located at Sonoma State University whose mission is to "teach students and the public about the role of a free press in a free society—and to tell the news that didn't make the news and why."
Some news, as the film suggests, is simply junk food. In an attempt to be honest about what news is and isn't, Google's senior director of news and social products this month came out against news outlets printing thinly veiled marketing campaigns as news.
"Google News is not a marketing service, and we consider articles that employ these types of promotional tactics to be in violation of our quality guidelines," said Richard Gingras, in a statement. Additionally, it was announced that if an online site mixes news content with marketing materials, the entire publication may be excluded from appearing in Google News searches. A win for media credibility!
It is difficult, in this day and age, to know which are the credible news sources. From small publications influenced by both advertisers and local government to huge corporate news outlets promoting larger agendas, there is often a disconnect from what is written and what is really going on. In the Project Censored film, Khalil Bendib, a political cartoonist, talks about how corporate ownership of news can stifle the truth: "General Electric owns NBC. General Electric is a bomb maker. NBC is not going to be against war." This dynamic isn't foreign to smaller local media outlets either, as demonstrated by the scrutiny applied to Anderson's affiliations and those of his partners.
In the era of junk food news, as Project Censored: The Movie says, it's vital for news consumers to truly understand the reason stories appear, and to constantly question what's presented.

It’s always convenient when I can clear up a bit of my backlog while writing up a book I just read, so let’s talk about Naomi Novik’s Crucible of Gold and Blood of Tyrants, the latest installments in the Temeraire series.
The way the series has been structured so far is that each book is a little travel guide to one part of the globe, so we can see what it means for dragons to exist there. This has worked well, for the most part, but as the plot gets less connected to Europe and Napoleon, it’s tended to get less compelling—particularly noticeable in Tongues of Serpents. And so if you guessed that Crucible of Gold, which takes place in Incan-dominated South America, was going to be one of the weaker installments of the series, well, you’d be right. It’s a perfectly fine pulpy read, but it’s not more than that.
And when Blood of Tyrants starts in Japan, with a really obnoxiously ridiculous plot device, it looks like it’s going to be a weak installment, too. But by the end, it’s getting back to the core of the series, and matters Napoleonic are coming to a head, so it’s considerably better than the early premise threatens.
My only real concern at this point is that I’m told there’s one book left, and while that’ll be enough to wrap up Napoleon, I’m less sanguine about some of the other plot and thematic elements that have been dancing around the edges of the books for a while now. My strong suspicion is that the promise I saw in the early books is mostly going to have been squandered, when all is said and done.
Still, even if worst comes to it, these books have been consistently enjoyable, and a pulpy fun series about dragons was my optimistic case going in, so it’s not like I’d exactly be lining up to complain.

If you are interested in investing in real estate, then it is very likely that you have done quite a bit of research on the market. There is a lot of information about what the ideal piece of property looks like. Unfortunately, not enough focus is given to what property you should avoid.
So you have stumbled on a lovely, well-kept piece of property and thought you just have to have it. The only problem is that the property is in an awful location. What should you do? Some rookie investors buy the property anyway and hope that the location will not affect anything. Huge mistake.
If the property is in an area cut off from essential amenities or has a high crime rate, you will have a problem getting tenants to rent it.
If your background research reveals that the property you are about to buy has been on the market for a long time, think twice before whipping out your chequebook. If it was a good deal, other real estate investors would have swept it up swiftly.
No matter how brimming with investment potential the property seems, take the time to find out why other real estate investors do not want to touch it.
The way to get burned in real estate is to do business blindly. Make no mistake about it, there are scams in the real estate industry too, and you need to verify whether you are dealing with a questionable seller or not.
If, for instance, they do not want you to perform an inspection upon request, then do not walk away from the deal, run!
Veteran real estate investors do not just know how to spot the ideal land to invest in, but also how to recognize the wrong one. If you develop this skill, you can master the real estate market.

The vast majority of the American electorate has no ideology, whatsoever.
When polled on discrete policy questions, Americans consistently express majoritarian support for a left-of-center economic agenda.
Over the past eight years, Democrats lost control of more than 1,000 state legislative seats, the House, the Senate and the presidency.
Political scientist Philip Converse’s classic 1964 essay “The Nature of Belief Systems in Mass Publics,” demonstrated that only 17 percent of American voters could both correctly assign the terms “liberal” and “conservative” to the nation’s two major political parties and offer a sensible description of what those terms meant.
Political scientists Donald Kinder and Nathan Kalmoe’s 2017 book “Neither Liberal Nor Conservative: Ideological Innocence in the American Public,” shows that the electorate is scarcely more ideological today, at the peak of partisan polarization, than it was at the height of the New Deal consensus (when Mr. Converse published his landmark study).
The vast majority of Americans avoid locking themselves into the left (dispatch the king)/right (save the king) seating chart of the 1789 French National Assembly. They are transpartisan.
In fact current voting behavior might demonstrate the ideological Sophistication of the American public. It is possible that transpartisan Americans know their politics. “Ideological” parties may miss the point.
We are all left. We are all right. We are all Transpartisan.

As an owner, it's hard to justify spending $2-6K on something we DON't NEED to fly. It's no benefit since we already have an IFR system that functions without it and a VFR system with the lowest accident rate in history. This is a made up, government mandate where some office bureaucrat made an arbitrary decision. Those of us who have to deal daily with reality of flight and the practicality in ownership are being forced to do so only because "they say so". Of course when things are of demonstrably dubious advantage and high cost AND mandated, normal people don't like it.
As someone who equipped last year -- because I needed a transponder -- and also did the installation myself, there's something I'd like for your readers to heavily consider as they ponder what equipment to buy. Just the other day, the CFI I do my flight reviews with flew his C172 in for an annual directly from the avionics shop after an upgrade. He did exactly what you described ... had a used 430W installed along with a new 'out' box WITHOUT internal GPS. Right away, he's having issues with the used 430W so the transponder doesn't know where it is. He's squawking Mode S with the transponder but NOT squitting ADS-B under that scenario. He's a frugal fellow and instead of buying a box WITH internal GPS installed, he saved $500 (less, if you consider the same box WITH GPS comes with a GPS antenna which he had to buy). So he switched to his backup radio for comm but now doesn't have ADS-B out working without the 430W working properly. This could happen to anyone who chooses to use position info from another onboard radio. So here's MY two cents worth. If you're going to pop for ADS-B out, DON'T cut corners. Buy a box WITH an internal GPS. That way, you're not dependent upon another radio for position info. IF it goes bad, you're still 'up' to fly in rule airspace as long as the transponder is working and you have a second radio for comm. Folks who fly heavier iron which have two transponders should likely do the same. That way, both boxes have internal position sources totally separate from any other radios in the airplane. The same advice goes for anyone installing a UAT v. transponder. There's another advantage that I discovered during installation which is NOT advertised in any brochures I saw. With the correct software load, the transponder I bought can share its position information with one of those G5 instruments ... thereby saving having to mount another external antenna on the airplane for a certificated installation. Finally, I told the CFI that I'd be able to send him his flight info even though he didn't have ADS-B working because Flight Aware uses multilateration (basically, triangulation via timing) to plot his course over the ground even if ADS-B out isn't working. If you're squawking Mode S (only), your tail number is still visible to ATC and Flight Aware uses this info to construct your flight. His eyes glazed over as I tried to explain it all for him. It was too late to make this recommendation to him but not to make this recommendation to anyone here considering what to do.
I fly in and around the busy Houston class B airspace, so the decision on whether or not to install was pretty simple. Being electronically challenged, I opted to have an avionics shop do the work as part of a panel upgrade, so at least I knew everything talked to the appropriate box when completed. I can't say it made the cost of the ADS-B portion any less painful, but compared to the overall price, it was at least tolerable. We can debate ad nauseam the need for the system, or how the FAA went about it, but personally, I like the position and weather information the system provides. As with ELTs and other mandated equipment, the government rarely makes anyone happy with their method of implementation. I found your comments on shop availability to be pretty correct. I recently went back to the shop that did my install to discuss adding a new autopilot to my plane. They said their work backlog is about 3 months since most customers are adding ADS-B as part of an overall upgrade that takes weeks instead of days to complete. For those of you still waffling about what to do, you had better at least get your name on the reservation list. Tempus fugit.
"But what no one counted on or at least fully understood is that customers coming into the shops aren't just having a quick ADS-B installation. Many are opting for full panel upgrades that take three weeks, not three days." Paul, this is exactly what I have been seeing at my shop and it has been repeating itself continuously over the years. No surprise here. Most privately owned smaller GA aircraft have been in dire need of an avionics upgrade over the years and the owners know that. An ADS-B install is just the push needed to follow through on a full panel upgrade. Cry, scream, jump up and down, bemoan all you want, ADS-B ain't goin away. Get with it or get out of the way.
Since I do still fly outside the USA occasionally and did not have a WAAS source, my only option was to spring for a full-featured 1090 MHz Mode S ES box, totaling a cool $6K out of pocket. Even though I am gradually warming to the plus factor of having traffic displayed on my iPad, it's still most definitely a negative cost/benefit ratio. As I see from the previous comments, most of us are still trying to sort out (grok?) the whole thing, like what is lost or gained with UAT vs. 1090 out and who will see what when in or out of ground station coverage. Still to come will be the day when radar sites start to be decommissioned (the much hyped cost savings) and non-participating aircraft simply disappear completely, taking us back to pre-radar days when the Mark-I eyeball was all we had. A brave new world indeed.
I fly a PA30 Twin Comanche. It's a 3,600 lb gross weight aircraft. My aircraft is denied the FAA ADS-B $500 rebate because it is a twin. Yet I also fly a Piper Saratoga - a 3,600 lb gross weight single. The Saratoga gets the $500 rebate because it is a single. This makes no sense. I wrote to the FAA (yes, I hear you laughing .......) and was told, in reply, that my comments had been passed on to "The group". It would be helpful to extend the rebate to light twins as well as light singles - perhaps aircraft under 6,000 lbs? But there needs to be some muscle behind such a recommendation. Would AvWeb like to support a rebate extension?
I work for a FAA Repair Station. We are a dealer for most of the brands producing an ADS-B solution.I also give ADS-B presentations to various type clubs and interested aviation groups. I do these presentations to sincerely try to put something back into aviation that will be, hopefully, a benefit to those listening. I am also an owner/pilot with a current A&P ticket. So, while I give the presentations, I am painfully aware of those costs to myself, as well as, others. Owner/pilots must invest some time and energy in researching their options. Of the 46 or so offering ADS-B options, the vast majority are offering ADS-B IN units. So, for ADS-B compliance, the herd thins out quickly to those offering ADS-B OUT solutions. This means, the field narrows considerably when one is looking for FAA compliance which is having on-board an ADS-B OUT transceiver. In turn, if the aircraft owner concentrates on those solutions, the amount of time and effort needed to get up to an acceptable ADS-B knowledge to make an intelligent decision is considerably less. If there is anything in aviation that we must NOT rely on our buddies for information is ADS-B compliance and what that requires. The problem is, there is such a wide range of opinions, ranging from security, hacking, personal privacy issues, 978 vs 1090, and Big Brother/1984 scenarios, many are overwhelmed with all this confusion. Therefore, many are not necessarily opting out, but waiting for the dust to settle, to actually see if all this prophetic pontificating will actually come to pass.
Is the GAO Right to Investigate FBO Charges?
Normally, I'd say the Government should keep its nose out of private enterprise. Since most airports receive AIP funds which automatically requires meeting certain sponsor guarantees, I think it IS correct for the GAO to investigate egregious pricing ... which is an indirect way of having a monopoly. It's not like a pilot can always avoid using an airport near his intended ground destination.
Years ago I bought a Luscombe from a dealer in Batavia, NY. When we had signed all the papers he said he would mail the form to the FAA that afternoon. I made some remark about that being nice of him, he told me it was not being nice, he was making damn sure the plane was out of his name and that if I ever sold an airplane, I should insist on sending in the paperwork myself. I always followed his advice. I've had one guy that said no, he might want to put it in a company name. That ended that sale. In the years since I bought the Luscombe, I've know several people who have sold planes which never got re-registered and it came back to haunt them.
This tale certainly resonates with me, as I am sure it does with all too many other aviation folk. My very first airplane purchase all those decades ago was an unpleasant lesson and a reminder that crooks lurk within every group and every social strata. Foolishly thinking purchasing an airplane was just like buying a car, I bought a doggy Tri-Pacer from a good old boy FBO/dealer for cash, receiving in return a automotive-type bill of sale-contract all nicely signed, but unfortunately not by the aircraft's true owner. After an abortive attempt to get the bird registered using the proper forms, I discovered the hard way how things worked. A lawyer plus legal bills that just about doubled the cost of the plane did leave me with a clean-titled bird but also left the poor prior owner with zip. The good old boy absconded to Texas with my money plus a much larger amount from several other suckers, where he became a deacon in some church and, I suspect, continued the same behavior.
Transport Canada has a nice way of dealing with this. Your certificate of registration is three parts. The first part is the traditional CoR, the second part is the application form for the buyer to register, and the third part is a report of sale form that the seller fills out and sends in. The result of this is that the seller has reported the sale, the buyer has all the paperwork to register and the old CoR counts as a three month temporary certificate.
I absolutely agree with your assessment of the problems with the training market. We old folks remember the roll out of the new age trainers in the 70's, the Beech Skipper, and Piper Tomahawk. They were going to dominate the training marketplace, displacing the Cessna 150. How did that work out? Remember Aviation Consumers Tomahawk AD OF THE MONTH, which they talked about revising to the AD of the week?
There is no viable reason a basic, proven, no frills airframe like the PA 28 or 172 should cost a third of a million dollars.
On the Cardinal. Once the problem of the all flying tail was solved with the slot, and the power upgraded to 180, the 177 was a terrific plane. The 177RG offered so much compared to its direct competitors it should have been a success. It wasn't and Cessna pulled support for it. In no way is the 172 RG anything close to what the Cardinal was.
Cessna has a fairly long history of abandoning really good airplanes in search of, who knows what. The last C421's are the pinnacle of piston engine GA aircraft, and the 441 is, or would be a very viable aircraft if in the market place today. Cessna abandoned them in pursuit of the bottom end Jet platform for reasons which were questionable at best. I was told by a knowledgeable person that Cessna would NEVER allow the Conquest II back into production, as its speed, vs load, vs cost of operation would kill the 500.

text: GLW - Corning Inc. – A massive put spread purchased on the glass maker this afternoon appears to be the work of an investor positioning for the price of the underlying stock to decline ahead of August 2011 expiration. Corning’s shares increased 0.55% this afternoon to arrive at $22.28 by 1:40pm in New York. The price of the underlying stock has climbed more than 51.6% since August 27, 2010, to touch a 52-week high of $23.43 just last Friday. The large bearish stance employed in Corning put options today is perhaps a sign that at least one player believes the next six months may not be as fruitful for GLW investors as the last six. The trader purchased 28,000 puts at the August $22 strike for a premium of $1.83 each, and sold the same number of puts at the lower August $18 strike at a premium of $0.56 apiece. Net premium required to buy the spread amounts to $1.27 per contract, thus positioning the investor to profit should Corning’s shares drop 7.0% from the current price of $22.28 to breach the effective breakeven point on the downside at $20.37 by August expiration day. Maximum potential profits of $2.73 pad the put player’s wallet in the event that shares in GLW plummet 19.2% to trade below $18.00 before the contracts expire in August. Corning’s shares last traded below $18.00 back on December 1, 2010.

Tom Hardy is giving Robert De Niro a run for his money as the new cinematic face of Al Capone.
For 1987’s The Untouchables, De Niro gained weight, wore a padded bodysuit, and fashioned his hair to give himself a more rounded appearance to play the notorious Chicago gangster. Now it’s Hardy’s turn to lose himself in the role.
The British actor — regarded as a master of disguise thanks to his roles in Peaky Blinders and The Dark Knight Rises — is unrecognizable in a new film still released by Fonzo writer and director Josh Trank.
Fonzo — which also stars Linda Cardellini, Matt Dillon, and Kyle MacLachlan — is a biopic focusing on the end of Capone’s life, when he was weakened by dementia and a lengthy prison sentence.
It’s the first official look at the transformed Hardy, though paparazzi shots from the film’s New Orleans set have previously surfaced. The 40-year-old star has also shared photos of himself looking heavy and balding, with Capone’s famous scars.
It’s not just a physical makeover; according to a new interview with Esquire, Hardy developed one of his signature vocal tics for the character. The result: Bugs Bunny “with a severe case of vocal fry,” interviewer Eric Sullivan reports.
No release date has been set for the film, though it’s expected to hit screens in 2019.

I love this song because it is another one that reinforces what I’ve been learning in Bible Study Fellowship this past year. I’ve learned that it is not enough to believe who Jesus is and that He saved me if that knowledge doesn’t change me. I have the Light and I need to let it shine. I have the power of the Holy Spirit living in me, and I need to rely on that power in every circumstance. I need to truly know, with every fiber of my being, who I am and what I have in Christ.
Jesus’ disciples were truly changed by their encounter with Him, both before His crucifixion and after His resurrection. But even more importantly, when they were filled with His Holy Spirit, they became bold and fearless proclaimers of the truth. They knew who they were and what they had. The book of Acts is brimming with stories of the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through Peter, John, and the others. Eventually they all were martyred for their faith, but because they knew to whom they belongs they did not fear death or any earthly trial.
You probably know the old children’s song This Little Light of Mine. If all you have is a little of God’s light, it is good to let it shine. But I’d rather have a gigantic portion of the Light of Christ and to let it burn baby burn. How about you? Do you know who you are? Do you know what you have? Are you letting the torch of Truth burn bright in your life because you are thankful for God’s gift of grace and know He is with you?
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16 (NIV).

Great song, Linda, and I loved how you changed this little light of mine into this big light. I wrote a little poem awhile back that kind of goes with this . . .
God bless you as you burn bright for Him!

I ensured that every post contained at least one, and frequently more, specific questions, to try to encourage my lovely blog readers to supply me with their book knowledge, and engage in discussion.
I made an effort to reply to every single comment left on my blog, as soon as possible. Even when people left short “I loved this book too” comments, I used this as an opportunity to agree with them, and then give further reasons as to why the book was great, or to recommend similar books they might enjoy.
The idea was that at the end of the week I’d write a post highlighting the most thoughtful/inspiring/amusing comments I received in the previous seven days.
Oh, how do I write a comment so short, boring and stupid that anyone can see I am not at all trying to win anything??
It summed up exactly how I’d feel if one of my blogging friends launched a competition like this, and as it was a little bit different to all the other comments I didn’t have to decide who was being the most useful!!
You win 3 bookmooch points, or the choice of any book I have for sale on greenmetropolis – I’ll send you an email later!
The improvements to the way I handle comments on my blog had a positive effect on comment numbers. In the week I launched the improvements the number of comments I received increased by 33%, compared to the previous week. I also noticed an improvement in the quality of the comment – so a big thank you to everyone who has taken the time to comment on my blog! I really appreciate every single one!
I will continue to use these techniques, and although there will no longer be prizes, I hope to highlight the best comments I have received at the end of each month.
Did you notice the comment friendly improvements on my blog?
Did you feel that you were commenting more than usual, and if so why?
Can you think of other ways I can make it more comment friendly?
I look forward to hearing all your comments/suggestions!
Wow! It looks like you did fabulous with the comment challenge at BIP this week.
That had to have been very difficult to pick. I have always thought your handling of comments has been very friendly. I can’t say that I commented more than usual, because I don’t think that would be possible! (haha) I comment whether I know what the hell I’m talking about or not! Keep up the good work. You inspire me!
Sandy – thank you so much for the words of encouragement. You always seem to know what you’re talking about – I hope that you continue to comment as much as you always do, as I love reading what you have to say. Thanks again!
One thing that helps but I don’t know if you can — do you have a way to add a “subscribe to comments” feature? It’s hard to remember to come back and check for responses and I love having responses emailed directly so I can keep in the conversation.
But if it’s not available on the platform you’re using, I totally understand.
I use this wordpress plugin.
Rebecca – Great point! I hadn’t even realised it wasn’t an option on my blog. I just assumed it would be there!
I’ll try to add it later today. Thank you for letting me know which plugin to use – saves me having to search for one!
Dorte – wow! Congratulations! I’m not surprised you’re happy today – winning three competitions in one day would make my day too!
This is a great idea!! Highlighting comments as a post! I’ll have to give that a try! Thanks for sharing! Have a great week end!
By the way, I have an award for you. It’s way below the read-a-thon posts, I’m afraid.
Kathrin – Thank you so much for the award! I’ll blog about it soon.
You still have plenty of time to do the BIP task. Good luck with it!
