Q: How to save a bitmap image as JPEG The problem is that the file is not saving as JPEG. Just a normal file. This is my code so far: private void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { saveDialog.FileName = txtModelName.Text; if (saveDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(pnlDraw.Width, pnlDraw.Height); pnlDraw.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, pnlDraw.Width, pnlDraw.Height)); bmp.Save(saveDialog.FileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg); } } A: How about checking if file name has .jpg extension before saving it? You can also change saveDialog to only allow user selecting .jpg images. private void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { saveDialog.FileName = txtModelName.Text; saveDialog.DefaultExt = "jpg"; saveDialog.Filter = "JPG images (*.jpg)|*.jpg"; if (saveDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(pnlDraw.Width, pnlDraw.Height); pnlDraw.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, pnlDraw.Width, pnlDraw.Height)); var fileName = saveDialog.FileName; if(!System.IO.Path.HasExtension(fileName) || System.IO.Path.GetExtension(fileName) != "jpg") fileName = fileName + ".jpg"; bmp.Save(fileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg); } }

The treatment of fibers, fabrics and laundry with conditioning agents, such as fabric softeners, anti-wrinkling agents, antistatic compounds and other preparations designed to improve the properties of the treated material is a well-known operation. It is practiced most by the housewife who adds fabric softening solution in the final rinse cycle of an automatic washing machine. The substantive cationic softening agent usually employed strongly adheres to the laundered textiles and remains thereon during subsequent spin drying and heat drying. Of course, such processes require that the conditioning agents employed be highly substantive or else they will be removed with the rinse water, yielding insufficient softening activities. In efforts to find other ways of depositing softening agents on the surfaces of fibers and fabrics, pressurized sprays have been applied to the articles to be treated either before or after drying. Even when the sprays are of very fine droplets of a solution of conditioning agent it is a tedious task to apply the spray evenly to all the articles being treated. When the spraying apparatus is included as an integral part of a drying apparatus, such as an automatic laundry dryer, the costs of the spraying apparatus, control means for it and installations of these are often so great as to make such a treatment uneconomical. Instead of using a spray, solid conditioning agents, absorbed onto or impregnated into flexible papers, cloths or sponges have been employed in the dryer. U.S. Pat. No. 3,442,692 teaches that substantive cationic conditioning compounds vaporize into the moist atmosphere of the dryer and are sorbed by the materials being tumbled therein. Although it is considered that many useful cationic conditioning agents are of such high boiling points that they are incapable of vaporizing under ordinary drying conditions, U.S. Pat. No. 3,442,692 is cited as an example of another way to use conditioning agents in the automatic laundry dryer. Although the disadvantages of conventional softening methods, utilizing the washing machine, and more recently developed treating operations, using the automatic laundry dryer, are known, before the present invention there was no acceptable simple and economical way to apply liquid conditioning agent to fabrics to be softened or to be made antistatic in the automatic laundry dryer. Now, by following the method of this invention, good conditioning may be obtained economically and conveniently and without the necessity for the installation of complex equipment.

White matter and cognitive decline in aging: a focus on processing speed and variability. White matter (WM) change plays an important role in age-related cognitive decline. In this review, we consider methodological advances with particular relevance to the role of WM in age-related changes in processing speed. In this context, intra-individual variability in processing speed performance has emerged as a sensitive proxy of cognitive and neurological decline while neuroimaging techniques used to assess WM change have become increasingly more sensitive. Together with a carefully designed task protocol, we emphasize that the combined implementation of intra-individual variability and neuroimaging techniques hold promise for specifying the WM-processing speed relationship with implications for normative and clinical samples.

Mayo Clinic With lung cancer being the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., effective early screening is key to saving lives. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic say they've developed new software that can help classify lung nodules noninvasively, saving lives and health care costs. A pilot study of the program called Computer-aided Nodule Assessment and Risk Yield, or Canary, appears in the April issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology. Canary leans on data from high-resolution CT images of a common type of cancerous nodule in the lung called pulmonary adenocarcinomas. It matches every pixel of the lung image to one of nine unique radiological exemplars. In the pilot study, it was able to classify the lesions as aggressive or indolent with high sensitivity, as compared to microscopic analyses of the lesions after being surgically removed and analyzed by lung pathologists. "Pulmonary adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer and early detection using traditional computed tomography (CT) scans can lead to a better prognosis," Tobias Peikert, a Mayo Clinic pulmonologist and senior author of the study, said in a news release. "However, a subgroup of the detected adenocarcinomas identified by CT may grow very slowly and may be treatable with less extensive surgery." Peikert says that without effective screening, most lung cancer patients don't identify the disease until they are at an advanced stage and far more likely to die from it. Yet, screening via CT scans would be an expensive way to improve the survival rate, as it often can lead to overtreating slow-growing tumors. The hope is that Canary can identify those tumors that can be treated with less extensive -- and expensive -- surgery.

A lousy actor with the charisma of a moldy bread. That goes to say that his career starts & ends up in Star Wars. call me crazy but….. Three posts in one week! Sheesh, not even working actors get three posts in one week. JJ’s crush on this guy and his girlfriend is now seriously weirding me out. lexy hates bilson Wow! Don’t tell me he finally bought himself a car?? Funny how he got this fancy sports car when he’s been driving around in Rachel’s putt-putt! tweet I think he needs himself a car if he plans to move to LA. Rachel has to drive her’s daily to work. A Business Meeting? Hopefully this one will bring him some GOOD work! We need to see more of him working and less of him in tabloid, or JJ like his on-off so called fiance! Deborah @A Business Meeting?: Totally agree with you. So-called off and on fiance. I don’t think he is moving here. I think he bought the car because he has to go to meetings like the one he was obviously going to that day. He could have been with Rachel on the weekend but he wasn’t and then not now? I hope it’s over. I’m tired of her being a publicity whore.. And he has every right to treat himself to a nice car. No one said it was because he was moving to L.A. He has a house in Canada and his brother has one here. He stays there when he is here. If they are so in love, why is she not in these pictures the last five days. Anon @Deborah: Why is she not in the pictures? Maybe because she’s working? She’s been on set of Hart of Dixie. Just because they haven’t been seen together the last 5 days doesn’t mean they broke up. And LOL at the he stays with his brother. Yeah, that’s why he’s always seen leaving Rachel’s house. Being with your girlfriend for 5 years and he’s going to stay at his brothers house. It’s called DENIAL Deborah, Hayden and Rachel are in luuurve, deal with it!! :) Hahahahahahaha lexy hates bilson Doesn’t she have a driver pick her up and take her to/from the set?

And don’t need rachel taking pictures with him when she is not interested are beng with him. Jared you can stop saying rachel is his girlfriend now. You see that she is not with him. He don’t stay with her anymore at all. She make people believe that he does and he don’t. You all know that rachel don’t miss taking a picture when she can. When its about her only. Hayden doing the right thing about not being around her right now. Rachel don’t want to be seem with hayden anymore. That’s what Alex did with kate bosworth. chill out ppl,,,, @ANON if you are sad enough to reply to everthing about the pair of them them get yourself a username- but then again you are just a coward still i have reason to believe who you are, still fighting the long dead cause about the pair of them, or is not much being said about them at imdb where also you think you rule there? Anon @chill out ppl,,,,: What? So, I need to change my username to something more like yours which is just “chill out ppl”? What’s that going to do? I’m a coward? I couldn’t give a sh-t if these two broke up tomorrow, but when people are still acting delusional of the fact they’re together I have a right to say what I want. And never posted on imdb, so you got me mixed up with someone else. [ : Yawn The last time Hayden and Rachel were seen hanging together was the 14th of October so it has been 19 days not five days. Which is odd when Hayden is in town being papped everywhere but not with her. You would think at least one of the times would have included her. It wouldn’t be strange for them to not be seen together if Hayden had been back in Canada all this time but he isn’t he is in Cali still. They haven’t been seen together since the grumpy Thai food date and the errands they ran the next day. They also haven’t been seen together after that interview came out. I’ve noticed he is staying on the west side of LA instead on the east side of the LA area where Rachel lives. The 101 freeway splits the area and west hollywood, hollywood are on the one side Los Feliz is way on the other side of the 101 near the Griffith Observatory. They are probably trying to start some break up rumors to get some attention maybe even announce they are taking a break again all to get some attention just like last year and then get back together just in time to get more attention. Same story same rumors different year. Same games.Boring, Anon @Yawn: Hayden and Rachel are seen together about once every 2-3 months. It’s not strange not to see them pictured together. Now if Rachel wasn’t working on a show, then it would be weird.Being on a show you could work between 5 in the morning till late at night everyday of the week. You don’t like when they’re seen together, yet when they’re not seen together you still complain. Pick one or the other. @Anon She seems to have plenty of free time to me.http://justjared.buzznet.com/2011/11/02/rachel-bilson-studio-city-shopping/ From today. She has enough to time to go out shopping during the day while she is still working those” busy” hours. So I guess she isn’t that busy. Actors also don’t work every single day of the week on a television show only when they are needed for a scene that is being shot that day. Sometimes an actor could not work for days even if they play a lead on the show filming. Like Blake Lively on Gossip Girl currently running back and forth from NYC and Boston to see Ryan Renolds when she isn’t filming for days. So with all this free time it is weird Hayden and Rachel went from being seen together a lot last month while she was filming Hart of Dixie to not at all for three weeks. While during that time they are spotted out by themselves on several occasions in LA. You would think all that free time would be spent together. If the paparazzi just happened to catch them wherever they were the odds are they would be together not apart. Unless they are having problems. Couples go through problems ALL couples do. Hayden and Rachel have gone through a lot of them in the last year. The last time they were both in LA for a long period of time but not seen spending time together suddenly things weren’t going well for them. It’s a gossip site people gossip. Hehehe.Get over it. If it wasn’t for gossip these sites wouldn’t exist and most actors/actresses wouldn’t have careers!! Now go back to stalking the Rachel posts. Haha. @16 @lexy hates bilson: He traded up and got a better car maybe he will trade up and get a better girl!!!Haha. He is thirty years old now. A lot of men go through phases and want to change things up while they are still young enough. AKA midlife crisis. He is a little young for that still but when guys hit the big 3 -0 it is a game changer.That is the kind of car a guy buys when he wants to run away from something in his life and still be free. I half expected him to buy a station wagon ( a settling down car)not a bad ass sports car again!!!( a still want to be young car). Guys and cars tend to match their moods and lifestyles. carol Wow, what a variety of opinions on here. I just posted on the Rachel thread, I should have done it here instead. There were a couple of twitter sightings yesterday of Rachel “filming Heart of Dixie on the Warner Brothers lot”. She has said in interviews that she goes to bed at nine because she gets up at five am every day to go to work on the set of Hart of Dixie. Some of the actors of HOD that have twitter accounts have mentioned filming at night and on weekend days, as well. Rachel works full time now, sometimes she has free time between takes I would imagine. Hayden’s movie is in “in production status” now according to IMDB. I would imagine he has to work on getting that set up, etc. while in LA. It is not unusual for them to be papped separately, that happens alot. Just because they are not seen together, you think they broke up? What couple spends all their time together? Sometimes Hayden and Rachel are out and are papped, sometimes they are not. What man would re do his girlfriend’s kitchen and house by re tiling and painting if he expected to break up with her? He would tell her to hire a handyman! And to think he would do all this work, then go have a sleepover at his brother’s house is funny! I have a feeling spending the night with Rachel is more appealing to him. They both do things without each other, I am sure they do things with their families without each other at times. Rachel is with her mother alot. Hayden had a fancy sports car a few years ago before he totaled it in an accident. He is only 30 years old, why wouldn’t he want a sports car? He has a Land Rover in Canada, he finally had to buy a car instead of borrowing Rachel’s or Tove’s, which indicates he plans to spend more time in LA, a good thing if he plans to work as an actor. Who knows how long Hayden and Rachel will last, but some of these comments calling Rachel names with hate behind them show some of you are taking their relationship way too seriously when you do not know either one of them. swirly awwww these poor women are so depressed inside that Rachel’s the one sleeping with the guy you have wet dreams about!!!!!! funny sooo funny. http://HaydenChristensen she Hayden Christensen Hayden Christensen she Hayden said Hayden I loved you a kiss gos wong on tuesday if din’t here from she Hayden cops got she or staff fight get she back team get she back loved ok I loved you Hayden Rachel http://HaydenChristensen she Hayden Christensen Hayden she will be together soon talk soon I love you smile slartabartfast OMG!

No doubt this fat drunken sick geezer with 3 kids and has a wife too is probably a middle aged sex offender!! Then, stalking and harassing woman when, this subject has nothing to do with this poor woman being accused of something so sick. Anyone can tell this is a made up story and he is on a drunken rampage once again. RandyCharlesMorinisa STALKER Randy’s address is!!! He needs to be locked up in jail.

RandyCharlesMorinisa STALKER Randy Charles Morin of Talk-Sports is most LIKELY the WORST and BIGGEST Cyber Stalker, Predator, and Psychotic Cyber Bully/Child Molester in the WORLD!!! Randy loves to make up bully boards on innocent woman. Stalk them and make a series of horrible lies about them and personal made up stores. Randy is the only one allowed to post on their boards and insult them horribly. Post their personal home and work address and phone numbers on their bully blogs. Anyone else defending the so called bully’s blog will get persecuted by Randy and the poor person that has the bully blog has another year to have her bully blog up because, she cannot defend herself or have friends do so. What Randy is doing is illegal and it is slanderous. Plus, he is stalking and hacking into personal accounts and posting on them. Randy has only cruel intentions and HAS NO INTENTION on taking the bully blogs down. Randy is demented. He spends all his time talking and asking himself questions on here amusing himself because, he got his account suspended from Formspring for harassment and stalking. Randy spends probably most 90% of his time here and the other flirting with underaged girls or molesting his daughter. Then, he is busy hacking into accounts.

CPS: 416-924-4646 God Bless… The bitch that bites is the infamous cyberbully, Laureen Foat. She bullied on Talk-Sports, and used the N-word liberally on her antagonists. It turns out she proved out to be a coprophiliac when she posted pictures of poop and people playing with poop. She also posted nude and gay nude pics. She is a teachers aid at Dana Hills HS, of all things; teaching the children to cyber bully. Slartabartfast Laureen Foat lives Laureen Lives in at 32302 Alipaz St, Spc 295 San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675-4166 Email the slanderous bully at [email protected]. She is an instructional aide at Dana Hills HS, where she teaches the kids to cyber bully. She snuck her kid into that school by lying about where she actually lives, and falsified her job application in the same way. She was exposed as a coprophiliac after she posted dozens of pictures of feces, people playing with poop, and even eating poop. She just loves the stuff. She once had her husband arrested for domestic violence. Who could blame him for beating her up when she acts like that. She likes to call black people the N word, just ask Nila Walker or Ashley Croft! She picks on overweight people and calls them fat, fat, fat, even though she once lost 100 pounds herself. She still has loose hanging skin on her abdomen; appearing to have elephant hide because she lost all that weight but didn’t have a tuck. She once lambasted a former friend, Donna Wofford, of being fat, fat, fat. Laureen Foat once had to get an endoscopy because of her acid reflux, caused by years of cyber bullying. Too bad she didn’t have malignant tumors. No one would care if she died. And she did sexually assault the corpse of her father-in-law in his coffin, right in the mortuary. She has also tried to carry on an affair with her own mother-in-law. She likes to talk about how long she has been married, but the story came out that she was trolling for younger guys on PlentyOfFish.com. She claims someone called her husband a beaner, but it was that BBP character, who Laureen had previously used the N-word on. The web host of Talk Sports got so sick of her cyber bullying on his website that he made up a Bully Blog where he exposed her for what she is. Just google Laureen Foat, cyber bully to see it. Everyone should contact Dana Hills HS and point out to them what a horror this woman is. Doesn’t Orange County Schools screen their employees? After all, there was a teacher/colleague/buddy of Foat’s at her prior job as teacher’s aide at Shorecliff’s Middle School who was arrested and convicted of molesting several of the young girls at the school. Look up Richard Rack if you don’t believe that. Laureen Ann Hurlburt-Foat has tormented hundreds of victims. Help put a stop to her. She is one sick woman.

Neurological complications of congenital heart disease. Neurological complications contribute significantly to mortality and morbidity from congenital heart disease with serious long-term consequences. Congenital heart disease has also been shown to adversely influence the neuro-developmental outcome of children. In developing countries such as India, majority of congenital heart defects remains uncorrected and major neurological complications are frequently encountered. Stroke and brain abscess are the commonest neurological complications of unoperated congenital heart disease. In developed countries the focus has now shifted to neurological complications of cardiac surgery in the very young as a result of cardiopulmonary bypass and total hypothermic circulatory arrest. A variety of neurological disturbances are now being increasingly recognized and are currently the subject of intense investigations. In this review the neurological complications of uncorrected congenital heart disease and the common neurological complications that result from operations for congenital heart disease will be discussed.

Dynamics of motile-sperm subpopulation structure in boar ejaculates subjected to "in vitro" capacitation and further "in vitro" acrosome reaction. Incubation of diluted boar sperm from fresh ejaculates in a previously established "in vitro" capacitation medium induced a significant, time-dependent increase in several mean parameters of sperm motility, such as curvilinear velocity (VCL), linear velocity (VSL), mean velocity (VAP), linearity coefficient (LIN), straightness coefficient (STR) and wobble coefficient (WOB). Furthermore, motile boar-sperm semen samples were structured in four definite subpopulations. Subpopulation 1 showed the lowest values of VCL, VSL and VAP and also low values of linearity. Subpopulation 2 showed the second lowest values of VCL and VAP and higher values of LIN and STR. Subpopulation 3 was characterized by high values of velocity and low values of linearity. Finally, Subpopulation 4 was characterized by high values of velocity and linearity. "In vitro" capacitation and further acrosome reaction induced changes in the motility characteristics of each subpopulation as well as in their percentage distribution, Subpopulations 3 and 4 being those that showed the most significant changes. However, despite these changes, the observed, overall four-subpopulation structure was firmly maintained during the entire "in vitro" capacitation and acrosome-reaction process. Our results suggest that capacitation-induced motility changes are related to specific changes in the percentage of each motile-sperm subpopulation in the ejaculate without losing the overall, specific four-subpopulation structure. In this way, the maintenance of a four-subpopulation structure seems to be important in the control of the whole ejaculate physiology.

Role of cadmium and arsenic as endocrine disruptors in the metabolism of carbohydrates: Inserting the association into perspectives. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have widespread environmental distribution originated from both natural and anthropogenic sources. From the last few decades, their contamination has been raised dramatically owing to continuous discharge in sewage and untreated industrial effluents. They have rapidly gained a considerable attention due to their critical role in the development of multiple endocrine-related disorders notably diabetes mellitus (DM). Cadmium and arsenic, among the most hazardous EDCs, are not only widely spread in our environment, but they are also found to be associated with wide range of health hazards. After entering into the human body, they are preferably accumulated in the liver, kidney and pancreas where they exhibit deleterious effects on carbohydrate metabolism pathways notably glycolysis, glucogenesis and gluconeogenesis through the modification and impairment of relevant key enzymes activity. Impairment of hepatic glucose homeostasis plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of DM. Along with compromised function of pancreas and muscles, diminished liver and kidney functions also contribute considerably to increase the blood glucose level. These metals have potential to bring conformational changes in these enzymes and make them inactive. Additionally, these metals also disturb the hormonal balance, such as insulin, glucocorticoids and catecholamines; by damaging pancreas and adrenal gland, respectively. Moreover, these metals also enhance the production of reactive oxygen species and depress the anti-oxidative defense mechanism with subsequent disruption of multiple organs. In this article, we have briefly highlighted the impact of arsenic and cadmium on the metabolism of carbohydrates and the enzymes that are involved in carbohydrate metabolism and glucose homeostasis.

1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to new and improved methods of fluidic support. In particular, this invention relates to new and improved methods of (1) counteracting the gravitational bending moment present in a substrate tube during a modified chemical vapor deposition preform fabrication process, and (2) improved cooling of the substrate tube to increase the thermophoretic force gradient. Hence, use of the methods of this invention results in a straight optical fiber preform, with greater deposition efficiency. 2. Description of the Prior Art The modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) process used to produce optical fibers utilizes a quartz substrate tube that is mounted in a glass working lathe. The substrate tube is chucked at one end and is supported by graphite vee blocks or nylon or Teflon rollers at the opposite end. The substrate tube is then heated at the chucked end and straightened to the center line of the lathe. A larger tube is inserted in another chuck and sealed to the substrate tube. The supports are now removed. A torch assembly is mounted on a fire carriage that traverses the length of the lathe bed that heats the exterior of the substrate tube. Each traversal commences at the portion of the tube closest to the chemical input end, and is termed a pass. The heat that is produced by the torch assembly is required to cause the chemicals on the interior of the tube to react, and also to fuse or sinter the glass particles that are deposited on the inner wall of the tube. Temperatures up to 2100.degree. C. are attained during the course of the process, well above the softening point (1813.degree. C.) of fused quartz. The MCVD process typically requires over 60 torch passes and eight to twelve hours to complete. The tube is rotated during the process to maintain circular symmetry, but this rotation does not provide any force to center the tube. On the contrary, in fact, rotation causes any existing eccentricity to increase because of centrifugal force. Disadvantageously, the sagging of a rotating quartz tube occurs at the extreme ends thereof, especially the end at which the heating is initiated. Such sagging is the result of the gravitational bending moment and small deviations normally present in the tube. The heat zone produced by the torch assembly is located between the two supporting chucks for the quartz tube. When the substrate tube is heated above the softening point at either end, the effect of the nearest supporting chuck is negated, while the bending moment is the greatest. Since so many passes are performed, the problem increases with each pass, and results in a wavy or eccentric preform. The eccentricity also causes asymmetric heating, compounding the problems of temperature control and noncircularity of the deposited material. The waviness of the preform reduces the yield of the preform in either the deposition process or the draw process. Noncircular deposition leads to cores that are not concentric with the outside of the cladding, and may have unacceptable, out-of-tolerance dimensions. U.S. Pat. No. 4,263,032, issued Apr. 21, 1981 to Sinclair et al., and U.S. Pat. No. 4,302,230, issued Nov. 24, 1981 to MacChesney et al., relate to making optical fiber preforms more expeditiously by enhancing the thermophoretic deposition force. The '032 patent suggests a fluid stream as a cooling means. The '230 patent suggests water for cooling. Disadvantageously, the '230 patent prefers de-ionized water in order to avoid introduction of contaminants which may contribute to a lowering of the strength of the resultant fiber. Direct physical support of a glass surface by a material in contact with it causes problems by introducing defects and contamination into the surface of the preform. Unfortunately, there appears to be no material known that can resist the temperatures involved and not damage the surface of the preform by scratching or contamination. As is well recognized, brittle materials such as silica glass are strongly dependant on the integrity of the surface for strength, with an essentially perfect surface required to retain the intrinsic high strength. It is well known that physical contact of a glass surface by a solid object will leave defects in the surface that are difficult to heal, and sometimes particles will be left behind, generating a low strength site for future failure. A defect can readily reduce the strength of glass fiber after drawing by two orders of magnitude. In addition, any particle present on the preform surface will have its size magnified, relative to the fiber, during the drawing process, thus creating a larger defect, and a probable low strength failure point. Liquids can be considered for a coolant to aid in the thermophoretic force as indicated in the patent of MacChesney, but the addition of a cooling water stream to the apparatus is difficult. In addition, the water must be of very high quality, such as freshly deionized or distilled, to avoid leaving any residue that will act to harm the surface.

(CNN) As Ady Barkan has struggled with the deterioration of his body as a result of ALS, the activist has pulled off a feat that would be remarkable even for the most agile of health care advocates. This year, month after month, he has drawn most of the major presidential candidates to his doorstep and championed "Medicare for All" while forcing the presidential contenders to think through the impact of their health care agendas in the most personal terms. He brought California Sen. Kamala Harris to tears recalling the day her mother was diagnosed with colon cancer. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren used Barkan's case to punctuate the failures of the healthcare system during a July presidential debate: "Ady has health insurance, good health insurance, and it's not nearly enough," she said. Barkan and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the author of the Medicare for All legislation, discussed their legacies during their conversation, which was posted online in early September. "In terms of your legacy, Ady," Sanders told Barkan, "I think it will be very clear that even with the terrible illness that you're struggling with right now, that you didn't give up, that you understood that -- especially given your illness -- that you could play a significant in rallying the American people toward a sane and humane health care system." In the latest interview released Thursday with Pete Buttigieg , the South Bend, Indiana Mayor told Barkan that it was the first time he'd been around breathing equipment since the death of his father, who had cancer, in January. "We sat down with a social worker who basically explained to us at the hospital that in terms of long term care our best option was probably for our family to spend down everything that we had until we were asset-poor enough to qualify for Medicaid," Buttigieg told Barkan, according to the transcript shared with CNN. "I remember just thinking, is that how this works in America?" The two debated their differing views on Medicare for All, and Barkan told Buttigieg he appreciated that the mayor was "willing to have the tough conversations even when someone doesn't agree with you." In their exchange, Barkan called out former Vice President Joe Biden, who Barkan says is the only top-tier presidential candidate who has not responded to his invitation to meet. On September 18, he issued a searing plea to Biden, noting that Biden has his own heartbreaking struggles involving the healthcare system (most recently with the death of his son Beau in 2015 from a brain tumor). "Mr. Vice President you know about illness. You know about doctors and hospitals. You know that health care is personal. ... You won't come talk to me about it?" Barkan said in video missive to Biden the day before undergoing surgery for a tracheostomy to help him breathe. "Look a dying man in the eyes and tell me how we fix this country." In an interview with CNN this month, Barkan described ALS as "the story of things becoming impossible" -- from a simple stroll around the neighborhood to his ability to tickle his 3-year-old son Carl. ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a neurodegenerative disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, ultimately depriving the brain of its ability to initiate and control muscle movement, including the loss of speech. (Barkan now speaks through a computer). "It's exhausting and overwhelming," Barkan told CNN. "For me, ALS has been a lesson in exactly how broken our health care system is and why it's so important to fix it." In this family photo, Barkan is pictured with his wife Rachael and son Carl in October 2016. Barkan, a life-long advocate on economic justice issues who was diagnosed with ALS in October 2016, has imparted those lessons not only with high-profile testimony in Washington, but also in these intimate one-on-one conversations with candidates. He and his crew film publish the interviews as part of the work of their PAC, the Be A Hero fund, which attempts to hold politicians accountable on health care and other issues by using the stories of average Americans as their persuasion tool. Barkan realized the power of his exchanges with politicians when he met former Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake by chance in December 2017 on an airplane. Overwhelmed by his mounting medical bills, Barkan urged Flake not to support the GOP tax bill, which he believed would disrupt his health care coverage. "You can save my life," Barkan told Flake in a n exchange captured by a fellow passenger . "Please remember this conversation." Flake did end up voting for the tax bill -- in contradiction to Barkan's request -- but that exchange vaulted Barkan into the national spotlight. As Barkan has explained to the current crop of presidential candidates, his insurance company tried to deny coverage for a breathing assistance machine that he needed to live. He said he, his wife Rachael, an assistant and a lawyer spent "endless time on the phone trying to get our insurance company to behave properly, lawfully. Beyond that, his family is billed $20,000 a month out of pocket for the 24-hour home care that he needs. "I'm lucky to have wealthy supporters cover the cost for us, but that's not an option for a lot of people -- most just go bankrupt," he told CNN, which provided questions to Barkan ahead of time to give him enough time to write out answers. "Ninety percent of Americans with ALS choose not to go on a ventilator because it requires 24-hour care, which most insurance plans don't cover. In Japan, where long-term care is guaranteed, the numbers are reversed. That just isn't right, and it doesn't need to be this way." That view has fueled Barkan's advocacy for Medicare for All, the signature health care proposal from Sanders: "I've come to believe that fundamentally we need radical, disruptive change to the status quo," he said. "The only plan I've seen that aims for that level of ambition is Medicare for All." He believes that any plan that stops short of the promise of Medicare for All -- the kinds of plans that have been proposed by Buttigieg, Biden and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, for example — "won't deliver the universal coverage or the cost savings that we need." Barkan testifies before the House Rules Committee at a hearing on a "Medicare for All" bill on Capitol Hill in April 2019. Barkan, who gets around in a wheelchair, speaks through a vocalizer and takes his meals through a feeding tube in his stomach, has still managed to make his sense of urgency felt through in-depth conversations with Buttigieg, Sanders, Harris, Warren, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, and Julián Castro, the former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Barack Obama. He says Klobuchar, former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke and businessman Asndrew Yang have also agreed to meet with him. The Be A Hero PAC has started a petition calling on Biden to meet with Barkan. Biden's team did not respond to CNN's query about why the former vice president has not responded to Barkan's invitation. But Barkan isn't giving up on his hope for a one-on-one with one of the 2020 race's front-runners. It's a persistence that New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez notes in the prologue she wrote for his new memoir, "Eyes to the Wind." Even through his vocalizer, Barkan's testimony to Congress "forced an urgency and moral clarity that members could not look away from or ignore," Ocasio-Cortez wrote. "I saw their discomfort at issuing the usual excuses, and Ady also would not tolerate them—even with many physical capabilities gone," Ocasio-Cortez wrote. The New York Democrat first met Barkan when he stopped by a labor town hall that she was holding at a church in the Bronx after winning her primary election last year. He could still speak at that point and she held the microphone for him as he addressed the crowd. They met again this year, at her congressional office after the his testimony to Congress. Barkan acknowledges that part of the power of his advocacy is that he is dying from ALS, a fact he points out in his Twitter profile. He told CNN he is "trying to use the time I have left here to make things better for as long as I still can." "If I could be healthy and completely anonymous, I would do it in a heartbeat," he said. But because of his illness, his activism with Be a Hero and the Center for Popular Democracy have drawn national notice. His team went on to travel the country making health-care ads that he said were among the top-performing spots of 2018. "We built a platform that made it hard for candidates to ignore us," Barkan said. "There are millions of folks who the candidates should sit down with. I'm just hoping I can be a voice for them and force candidates to answer questions that really matter to people."

A married gay couple who have been fighting for “safe” housing in London for five years have been hospitalised after they were allegedly attacked by a neighbour’s partner and friends while staying in council-mandated temporary accommodation. Andrew and Gustavo Williams-Coleman have been campaigning the local council in Brent, north west London, for better accommodation for half a decade, saying they felt unsafe in the area they were living and felt targeted because they are gay. The couple were placed in a temporary accommodation, the Euro Hotel in Wembley, on June 1. The Williams-Colemans told PinkNews they were viciously attacked on Wednesday. Andrew was stabbed in the ear and has a small brain bleed. His husband, Gustavo, suffered a facial fracture that will require numerous surgeries. Andrew said that one of their neighbours in the temporary housing had been hurtling homophobic abuse at them since their arrival. Things escalated when, on Wednesday, the neighbour allegedly said she would fine someone to “kill the gay c**ts.” Andrew has cancer and mobility problems, while his husband has learning difficulties. They say that their neighbour, a 31-year-old woman, had been hurling homophobic abuse at them since they were housed at the Euro Hotel at the beginning of June. Andrew was stabbed in the ear and has a small bleed to the brain (Andrew Williams-Coleman)”The homophobic language she used was disgusting. For a week she has been knocking on our door, and shouting things outside our room at all hours. She called us disgusting AIDS-carrying pigs and queer c**ts,” Andrew told PinkNews. “She told other guests that she was enjoying doing it.” The couple claim that the hotel manager witnessed the incidents and let the men into the property. On Wednesday evening, the couple said that the woman told them they would have to fight for their lives. “About about 5pm she shouted she was going to get Gustavo and I killed,” Andrew said. Fifteen minutes later, Andrew said that three men, including the woman’s partner, entered the room, and one of them revealed a knife that was hidden up his sleeve. It was then he went to stab Andrew, while the others attacked Gustavo. It was only when a neighbour entered the room that the three fled, and the couple called the police. “We told the manager, but they wouldn’t tell anyone about it, not the council, not the police. We are just feeling totally numb and shocked,” said Andrew. “It’s disgusting. Nobody has a right to do anything like that to anyone.” The 31-year-old woman reportedly threatened other tenants that if they spoke about the attack they would be shot, Andrew told PinkNews. There was a stabbing at the woman’s address three days prior to the incident, the couple told PinkNews. “The police were meant to come round to take photos but they haven’t shown up,” Andrew told PinkNews. The Metropolitan Police did not immediately respond to PinkNews’ request for comment. A Brent Council spokesperson said: “We are very sorry to hear that this crime has taken place. This will be a matter for the police and we will be liaising with them and cooperating with their investigation.” William Michelin, general manager at London Hotel Group, which operates the Euro Hotel Wembley, told PinkNews that the hotel is not aware of any altercation taking place on its premises. “The main issues are that they are not hotel guests. They are from Brent Council on temporary accommodation,” said Michelin. “Neither parties reported non-guests entering other residents’ house/rooms. Neither parties reported that they were being verbally assaulted. It is our understanding that any arguments have taken place outside the properties, on the street … never inside. “Brent Council was informed of the ‘disturbance’ (as reported to us by Mr Coleman) and we requested that both accommodation [placements] be cancelled. The council asked us to ‘monitor’ the situation and to report of any further developments.” Andrew and Gustavo are currently recuperating in hospital, where Andrew will require draining of the bleed on his brain. Gustavo’s extensive facial fracture will require four surgeries, the couple said. Andrew and Gustavo have previously spoken to PinkNews about their battle to find a home in the London borough. “This is a an extremely concerning attack. It raises questions about the duty of housing authorities to prevent anti-LGBT attacks of this sort,” Galop’s Head of Hate Crime Services Nick Antjoule told PinkNews. “We are working with Andrew and his husband to provide assistance and are talking with the Metropolitan Police. No one should have to face violence, hatred and bigotry like this.”

1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a nitride semiconductor light-emitting device and a fabrication method thereof. 2. Discussion of the Background Art A light-emitting diode (LED) is a type of semiconductor device that converts electricity to infrared or visible light using properties of a compound semiconductor and is used as indicator lights in electronic home appliances, remote control devices, electronic display boards, indicators and automation apparatuses. The operation principle of such an LED is based on energy level of a material. That is, electrons and holes in a material move through and rejoin at a p-n junction when electrically biased in the forward direction. As a result, light is emitted from the p-n junction as energy level of the material is lowered due to the electron-hole rejoin. Generally, LEDs are manufactured in a very small size about 0.25 mm2 and packaged using a lead frame, a printed circuit board (PCB) and a epoxy molding compound. Recently, the most common package for LEDs is a 5 mm (T 1¾) plastic package, but new packages for LEDs are being developed depending on LEDs application fields. The color emitted by the LEDs depends on the wave length which is controlled by chemical composition of a semiconductor material used. As components for information technology and telecommunications are getting smaller and slimmer, various kinds of parts thereof, such as resistor, condenser, noise filter and so on, also become much smaller. To keep up such trend, LEDs are manufactured in a surface mount device (SMD) type package so as to be mounted on a PCB directly. Accordingly, LED lamps used as display devices are being packaged in the SMD type recently. Such SMD-type LEDs can substitute related art simple light lamps and be used as light display apparatus, character display apparatus and image display apparatus for emitting various colored light. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an LED in accordance with a related art. With reference to FIG. 1, a method of manufacturing an LED will be described below. Referring to FIG. 1, a sapphire substrate 10 composed of mainly Al2O3, is provided with a GaN buffer layer 1 made of gallium nitride (GaN) thereon. Then, an undoped GaN layer 3 is formed on the GaN buffer layer 1. Generally, group three elements in the periodic table are grown on the sapphire substrate 10 by a Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) method at a growth pressure ranging from 200 to 650 torr to be a layer. That is, the GaN buffer layer 1 and the GaN layer 3 are formed by the MOCVD method. Next, an n-type GaN layer 5 is formed on the undoped GaN layer 3 using silicon such as monosilane SiH4 or disilane Si2H6. On the n-type GaN layer 5, an active layer 7 is formed. The active layer 7 serving as a light-emitting area is a semiconductor layer containing Indium Gallium Nitride (InGaN) as light-emitting material therein. After the active layer 7 is grown, a p-type GaN layer 9 is formed on the active layer 7. The p-type GaN layer 9 is formed using Mg-based group two elements in the periodic table. The p-type GaN layer 9 is complementary layer to the n-type GaN layer 5 which supplies electrons to the active layer 7 when a voltage is applied thereto. On the contrary, the p-type GaN layer 9 supplied holes to the active layer 7 when a voltage is applied so that the electrons and holes join in the active layer 7 and light is emitted from the active layer 7. Even though not shown, a transparent metal layer (TM) made of a conductive material (not shown) is formed on the p-type GaN layer 9 to shed the light emitted from the active layer 7 outside. A light-emitting device manufacturing process is completed as p-type electrode is formed, after the TM layer is formed. However, the above light-emitting device in accordance with the related art is disadvantageous in that Mg—H complexes having an insulating property is formed on the p-type GaN layer as Mg reacts with atomic H generated from decomposition of NH3 gas when an Mg doping process is performed to form an electrical contact layer on the surface of the p-type GaN layer. The Mg—H complexes serve as an obstacle to the Mg doping, so that it becomes difficult to increase the number of hole carriers in the p-type GaN layer even though Mg is doped at high dose. Such Mg—H complexes are caused as atomic H combines with Mg contained in trimethyl gallium (TMG) or double cycle pentadienyl magnesium (DCP Mg) organic substance used for crystal growth after the growth of the p-type GaN layer, or caused due to decomposition of NH3 gas which is needed to maintain the p-type GaN layer in NH3 ambient to prevent formation of nitrogen vacancy (N-vacancy) in the p-type GaN layer, wherein such N-vacancy is generated due to the nitrogen out-diffusion upon cooling the p-type GaN layer after its growth. That is, atomic hydrogen is generated when the NH3 gas is thermally decomposed and permeates into the GaN layer through treading dislocation holes existing on the surface of the GaN layer.

"Hoarders" - the Wayback Machine chronicles The 2009 episode with that cunt Augustine is on. Man, is her son fat. Oh god, I remember Augustine. She was such a vile piece of shit, what they should have done was take her out back and shoot her, and then torched that disgusting pigsty she called a house. I felt so sorry for her (adult) children, having to grow up with that awful woman for a mother. I heard A&E cancelled this show. I remember Augustine, didn't she sit in a recliner with a jar of mayo next to her? And she has a big son too? I am a fan of the possum from Hoarders on face book and he does mention that they don't know if they are coming back yet.

When they started cleaning her place they started loading them into 30 gallon barrels as is but there were so many they hired a septic tank cleaning truck. They were pouring the bottles into a barrel and the septic tank workers were using a vacuum hose to suck her mess into the truck.

Don't miss his latest takedown of that lying ass, Scott Thomas, who unsurprisingly snookered The New Republic with implausible tales of American military behaving badly. The things Thomas claimed just wouldn't happen without a lot of repercussion to whoever was stupid enough to insult an IED-disfigured civilian contractor, wear a child's skull as a "yarmulke" (is anyone goddamn stupid enough to believe that?!), or maneuver a Bradley just to run over a dog. The CO would get in as much trouble, if not more, for not remedying the situation and disciplining the soldier. There are only two possibilities: Thomas is telling the truth, or he is lying. If he is telling the truth, then he needs to be court-martialed for his conduct unbecoming a member of the U.S. Army. If he is lying, then he likewise needs to be court-martialed for...his conduct unbecoming a member of the U.S. Army. The same should have happened to John Kerry after his testimony before the Senate committee in 1971: either be court-martialed for his part in the war crimes he claimed they did, or be court-martialed for lying. 0 Comments: Links to this post: "You are not to inquire how your trade may be increased, nor how you are to become a great and powerful people, but how your liberties can be secured; for liberty ought to be the direct end of your government." - Patrick Henry, 1788

Those of you who loved wearing gel bracelets, colours that don’t exist in nature or anything John Hughes are in for a real treat. A charismatic, energetic and plain old fun band called Unisex Salon is playing the role of standard bearer for the decade of excess in New York with their 80s inspired sound and style. Fronting the throw-back band and epitomizing everything 80s is Kenyon Phillips. With his sleek tattooed body, big hair, quasi-androgynous look and surreal stage presence, Phillips is like Polaroid taken in 1983 come to life. With one exception. “I’ve never had a drink in my life,” chuckles Phillips when asked if he indulges in some of what made the 80s the 80s. “No booze, no smokes, no drugs…very un-80s of me.” Phillips, however, does have a long standing addiction, but it’s to the rush of being in front of an audience. “I was a fat child, I was bad at sports but I loved the school play,” he says emphatically. “And I remember when I got on stage and gave my first line, I felt so good, and I’ve been chasing that amazing feeling every since.” Watch one live clip online and you’ll know exactly what he means. “Even if you don’t like our music, you’ll like our stage show,” says Phillips. “Our performances are at the heart of Unisex Salon, it’s what has made us stand out and for me, performing a song you’ve written is the pinnacle, it’s what makes life worth living.” The icing on this neon-coloured cake is the talent on stage with Phillips. The backings of the stunning Autumn Ready Potter, Brian Gumbel on the keyboards, former Fun Lovin’ Criminal Stephen Borgovini on drums, Jansen Cinco on bass and Chris Comfort on guitar round out the band. “These guys never cease to amaze me. I’ve learned over the years that if the chemistry isn’t there, regardless of talent, it’s going to be shit. Just like sex,” he says, pausing to laugh a bit. “And in our case, the sex is great.” And as for whether Unisex Salon can survive in the ever-growing, ever-changing New York music scene, Phillips shrugs of any doubt: “Hey, the more things change, the more they stay the same. A lot of it depends on the press’ tastes if you’re going to make it, but with them you’re either great or shitty, but the one thing common to a lot of other acts out there is that no one’s dancing, and that’s the point of difference; I dance and we’ll get the audience to dance too.”

Tired tower to make way for vibrant new housing project just minutes from CBD A high-quality and contemporary development in the heart of Highgate is a step closer with the release of a demolition tender for Stirling Towers. Housing Minister Brendon Grylls said a suitably qualified and highly experienced demolition contractor was being sought to manage the demolition process. “The successful demolition contractor is expected to be announced by the end of this year. The contractor will be required to prepare a detailed demolition plan to manage the process in a highly effective and safe manner that minimises any impact on neighbours.” Mr. Grylls said. “The Housing Authority has advised the Highgate community of our redevelopment intentions and what to expect from the demolition process. This has been well received and we will continue to keep the community informed throughout the process.” Since the 1970’s, Stirling Towers has provided affordable and social housing options for low-to-moderate income earners. In recent years, the authority determined that redevelopment is the best option for this site and for the community. The Housing Authority has relocated the building’s tenants into other residences within the metropolitan area, and is closely engaged with the City of Vincent and key stakeholders to ensure as smooth a process as possible. An Expression of Interest is being released by the Housing Authority by November 2016 to engage a private sector development partner. The Minister said the redevelopment of the site would offer a wide range of benefits for the community. “It will include a mixture of housing types and tenures, private and affordable home ownership, a reduction in the concentration of social housing tenants, and trial of new initiatives such as car-sharing.” Mr. Grylls said. “Once the private sector development partner has been engaged, the community will be consulted on the development as part of the standard town planning process.” Mr. Grylls said the demolition was expected to commence in early 2017.

Gaza’s prime minister announced today that six attack tunnels leading into Israel had been demolished, claiming they were “dens of homo-Zionist depravity.” Speaking on Al Aqsa TV, Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh alleged that hundreds of Gazan and Israeli men had been meeting regularly in the tunnels to engage “in acts of bestial proportions,” and that even though the destroyed tunnels degraded his forces’ military capabilities, “our hatred of Sodomites supersedes our desire to slaughter Jews.” RELATED: Gay Vandals Give Al-Aqsa Mosque ‘Rainbow Makeover’ Hamas’ news channel then aired footage of a tunnel strewn with used condoms and assorted BDSM equipment, including whips, gags, bondage beds and human pony harnesses. According to Al Aqsa TV, the network of sex parties was exposed after the residents of multiple Palestinian border towns complained of repeatedly being woken in the middle of the night by the sound of moaning, as well as ground tremors. And while Al Aqsa TV did not provide evidence of Israeli participation, Bentzion Zayin-Anak of the Brotherhood of Binational BDSM Lovers appeared to substantiate Hamas’ claims, telling Israel’s Channel 3 News: “We will simply find alternative venues; aside from the pleasure we derive from such encounters, they’re crucial to laying the groundwork for peace and reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians. Our message is this: swap guns for gag balls, knives for nipple clamps, and barrages of rockets with showers of liquid gold…”

How To Have A Rockstar Weekend In Seminyak By Tessa Gallagher - 16 Mar 2016 I geddit, you’ve been to Bali more times than you can thrown a (satay) stick at and have spent countless days running around Waterbom Park as a kid and drinking Bintangs on the beach as an adult, not to mention numerous weddings, hens and bucks parties, family trips and general I-need-to-get-the-hell-out-of-Australia-it’s-freezing getaways. But every now and again, whether it’s for a special occasion, or just cos you’re feeling super spesh (or cashed up?), it’s nice to have a long weekend where you live it up in the best possible way—we’re talking a totally luxurious, pamper-filled, indulgent and relaxing few days in Bali’s super cool neighbourhood of Seminyak. So because we’re partial to a little luxury ourselves here at The Urban List, we did the tough research (ahem..) to bring you the goods from the Island of the Gods. Here’s how to have a total rockstar weekend in Seminyak. Stay One of the most luxurious villas in Seminyak, walking into One Eleven is like entering some kind of dream world (a dream you never want to wake up from). It may be smack bang in the middle of Bali’s bustling Seminyak, but it is an intimate retreat that oozes tranquility and luxury. There are only nine villas here—all with their own 14-metre long swimming pool and private spa gazebo—and it is hands down, one of the best villas I’ve stayed in. There’s a luxurious bedroom, a huge bathroom (with his and hers toiletries and the best shower ever!), floor to ceiling windows and another huge outdoor living area with your own kitchen and lounge where you look out over the pool and plot how you can win Lotto and stay there forever. Honestly, If I could have moved in, I would have! Looks aside, the staff at One Eleven will move mountains to ensure your stay is amazing, but really, how could it not be. This place is the best! Eat OK, the weekend for saving your hard-earnt dollies this ain’t. You are a rockstar this weekend dammit, you’re all about sampling the finest produce this foodie region has to offer. Lucky for you, Seminyak is one of the most dynamic dining destinations in Asia and you can feast on everything from burgers to braised wagyu during your stay. If you’re staying at One Eleven, you would have been treated to THE most bangin’ brekky of your choice, cooked by your private chef in your villa no less! Next up: lunch! One of the hottest restaurants in Seminyak at the moment would have to be Tiger Palm. Will Meyrick (of Sarong, Mama San and Ubud’s Hujan Locale fame) recently opened Tiger Palm—his fourth Bali restaurant—in Seminyak’s The Village shopping centre and it is, as you would expect, incredible. The food is Malaysian, so there’s plenty of spice on the menu and all the dishes are punchy, flavoursome and absolutely drool worthy. Find yourself a comfy booth, order a cocktail (can I suggest the coconut mojito?) and get ready for one of the best lunches on the island. My tip: you’re going to want to order the crispy lamb ribs, the stir fried caramelised pork belly and the ‘Otak Otak’ fish wrapped in banana leaf betel leaves. NOM. Coffee To people who say it’s too hot to drink coffee in Bali, I have two words for you: Revolver Espresso. Down a small laneway off Seminyak’s main drag, this little gem is serving up the best coffee in Seminyak and has a vibin’ industrial-style interior that would not look out of place in Melbourne. The breakfast and lunch menu here is perfectly crafted too—it’s basically the perfect spot for a little chill-out before a tough afternoon of shopping or hanging by the pool. Sunset Cocktails Chilling out at an uber-cool, Seminyak sunset bar with a snazzy cocktail in hand whilst watching the legendary tropical sunset is obviously a must-do on your rockstar weekend. You haven’t been to Seminyak if you haven’t watched the sun go down at Potato Head Beach Club. Step into the Colosseum-esque building and you’ll understand why it has become such an iconic beach-front institution—it’s gorgeous! Get there early to try nab a day bed, order a cocktail jug and settle in for a sunset sesh worth instagramming the hell out of. Spa This is a weekend for absolute indulgence so if you can tear yourself away from laying by the pool, it is worth splashing out on some take-me-to-pamper-town treatments. The Pampering of Prana package from Prana Spa Bali begins with hot and cold plunge pools to invigorate and stimulate the circulation system, before a heavenly foot treatment, a stress-melting body massage and then a relaxing facial, scalp massage and hair cream bath. Just try not to float out of there! Shop Soooo your indulgent weekend must involve some retail therapy ammiright? The Seminyak strip is a happy hunting ground for designer homewares, gifts and sweet threads and there are always new discoveries to be made. You’re going to want to head into Enfants Paradis Botanical Skincare (the detox bath salts are amazing!), Carga and Souq for beautiful homewares and gifts, SKS for the best International and Indonesian designer wares and Lulu Yasmine for the best basics. Magali Pascal is your best bet for floaty, Parisian chic dresses, Mister Zimi for bold graphic prints and soft leather jackets, Shakuhachi for edgy on-trend pieces and and Toko Emporium for bright colourful art, homewares and jewelry. Our best stories, direct to your inbox, helping you to out-trend your mates every weekend... Tags: By Tessa Gallagher An avid reader, writer, traveller and eater, Tess is a lover of hot chips and green juice in equal measures (it’s all about the balance amiright?) You'll often find her in a poky wine bar, at a farmers' market, at the beach, sweating through a Pilates class, planning her next meal or walking the streets trying to get through her ever-increasing list of favourite podcasts.

Q: How to get value from Dropdownlist? I have two DropDownList which are related to each other by a foreign key. Category and Subcategory(with categoryid as foreign key). I am retrieving Categories from database and filling them up as: DB CLASS public class DB { public static List<SelectListItem> Categories { get{ List<SelectListItem> list = new List<SelectListItem { new SelectListItem{Text = "Category1" , Value = "categoryId1"}, new SelectListItem{Text = "Category2" , Value = "categoryId2"} }; return list; } public static List<SelectListItem> SubcategoryWithCategoryId(int categoryId) {...} } Now i can fill Subcategory dropdown with a method which expects categoryId as input: View @Html.DropDownList("Category", DB.Categories, "Select Category", new { style = "width:80px" }) @Html.DropDownList("Subcategory", DB.SubcategoryWithCategoryId(categoryId), "Select Subcategory", new { style = "width:80px" }) I am a beginner in ASP.NET MVC and i am using ADO.NET to access the database.

This July, a little boy named Antonio Vargas Jr. lost his mother. When Christmas came around, his father Antonio Vargas Sr. wanted to do something a little extra special. So he went to a Build-A-Bear store and created a very unique gift: A plush monkey that played audio recordings of Antonio Jr.’s late mother’s voice. Vargas Sr. filmed the moment his son opened the gift, as the boy immediately burst into tears upon hearing his mother’s voice. Watching this video will have you reaching for the tissues, too: The stuffed monkey played his mother’s voice saying three phrases: “I love you to the world and back,” “Give me a big hug. I love you,” and “I love you guys so much, and I will always love you.” How truly touching. The fact that the stuffed animal was a monkey held significance, too. “We always called our son our little monkey. So on Christmas Day, his dream came true!!! I love my little man with all my heart, Daddy loves you,” the dad wrote on Facebook. Vargas Sr.’s video gained quite a bit of attention online, and has already been viewed over 600,000 times on YouTube. People wrote in to tell the father what a great gift he had given to his son. “That is beautiful…Your son will cherish that forever. You are an awesome Dad…God Bless you All,” one person commented on Facebook, and many other wrote in sharing similar sentiments. Having others reach out touched the father, and he wrote a big thank you to everyone for their kind words on a GoFundMe page that has been set up to help the family. GoFundMe / Antonio Vargas “I want to start by saying Thank You from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has been very supportive of the video and who took the time to express their sincere condolences,” Vargas Sr. wrote. The father continued, “Because this happened so fast we did not expect anyone to offer a helping hand, but due to multiple request we decided to create an account for those interested in helping. I would also like to express my deepest condolences and prayers to those who have also lost a loved one and may God continue to bless your family.” This was a very touching moment between father and son, and hopefully the little monkey will serve as a reminder of the late mother. Wishing all the best to this family!

Q: Flutter localisation of BottomNavigationBar items I am creating a localized app with a Bottom Nav Bar on main page. If I change localization the BottomNavigationBar's items name not updating until click one of them. How can I update the Bottom Bar? What am I miss? Code: @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return BottomNavigationBar( onTap: onTabTapped, type: BottomNavigationBarType.fixed, // new currentIndex: _currentIndex, selectedFontSize: 12, unselectedFontSize: 12, elevation: 10, showSelectedLabels: true, showUnselectedLabels: true, items: [ new BottomNavigationBarItem( icon: Icon(MyFlutterAppIOS.share_100, color: Colors.blueGrey), title: Text( allTranslations.text("sharetitle"), style: TextStyle( color: Colors.blueGrey, ), ), ), new BottomNavigationBarItem( icon: Icon(MyFlutterAppIOS.protect_100, color: Colors.blueGrey), title: Text( allTranslations.text("lblprivacypolicy"), style: TextStyle( color: Colors.blueGrey, ), ), ), new BottomNavigationBarItem( icon: Icon(MyFlutterAppIOS.protect_100, color: Colors.blueGrey), title: Text( allTranslations.text("lblterms"), style: TextStyle( color: Colors.blueGrey, ), ), ), new BottomNavigationBarItem( icon: Icon(MyFlutterAppIOS.info_100, color: Colors.blueGrey), title: Text( allTranslations.text("lblinfo"), style: TextStyle(color: Colors.blueGrey), ), ) ], ); } A: That's because you are not building this widget again by any means. You need to rebuild this widget again once you change the language. You can use any state management library like BLOC or provider to notify the change to this widget once you update the language. So when you click on any item, it rebuilds, and then you see the changes. ChangeNotifierProvider( create: (context) => AppLevelProvider(), child: BottomNavigationBar(), ), You can also use an existing provider here and notify the changes.

Q: Bucket of Staging files after deploying an app engine After deploying a google app engine, at least 4 buckets are created in the google cloud storage: [project-id].appspot.com staging.[project-id].appspot.com artifacts.[project-id].appspot.com vm-containers.[project-id].appspot.com What are they, and will they incur storage cost? Can they be safely deleted? A: They are not mandatory for a GAE app - one has to explicitly enable GCS for a GAE app for some of these to be created. At least a while back only the 1st 2 were created by default (for a standard environment python app) when GCS was enabled and they are by default empty. It is possible that the others are created by default as well these days, I'm not sure. But they could also be created by and used for something specific you're doing in/for your app - only you can tell that. You can check what's in them via the Storage menu in the developer console. That might give a hint as for their usage. For my apps which have such buckets created - they're empty. From Default Google Cloud Storage bucket: Applications can use a Default Google Cloud Storage bucket, which has free quota and doesn't require billing to be enabled for the app. You create this free default bucket in the Google Cloud Platform Console App Engine settings page for your project. The free quota is 5 GB, so as long as you don't reach that you're OK. Now there is a matter of one bucket mentioned in the docs vs the multiple ones actually seen - debatable, I'm not sure what to suggest. In short - I'd check the content of these directories. If they're not empty I'd check the estimated costs for any indication that the free 5 GB quota might not be applicable for them. If that's the case I'd investigate the actual usage and decide if to delete something or not. Otherwise I'd just leave them be. A: Staging buckets are described in the App Engine's documentation when Setting Up Google Cloud Storage. I am quoting relevant information here for future viewers: Note: When you create a default bucket, you also get a staging bucket with the same name except that staging. is prepended to it. You can use this staging bucket for temporary files used for staging and test purposes; it also has a 5 GB limit, but it is automatically emptied on a weekly basis. So in essence, when you create either an app Engine Standard or Flexible, you get these two buckets. You can delete the buckets (I deleted the staging one) and I was able to recover it by running gcloud beta app repair.

I left the Veterinary Hospital while she was still on the table. Two technicians were stroking and comforting her while the Doctor calculated the appropriate amount of drug to use. Her big round eyes followed me, eyes that seemed out of place on a dog – a sea creature’s eyes. I had picked her up after an emergency call came into our shelter late Saturday. A girl had found a dog running loose on the street. She had called the dog and discovered wounds on the dog’s left side. She comforted the dog, called the SPCA’s answering machine and left a message. According to the girl, a few minutes later, a man walking on the far side of the street caught the dog’s attention. The dog’s behaviour indicated to the girl that the dog knew this man. She asked the man if this was his dog. “Ya.” He said. “Do you know that your dog is hurt?” she asked, noticing the man’s eyes appeared blurry, and he was unsteady on his feet. The smell of alcohol was sharp. His upper lip crusted with blood, dried and dark – like the blood on the dog’s shoulder. He staggered backward jostling the pack on his back, causing its contents to shift and make noise. Both the girl and the dog noticed. “What’s in the pack?” She asked. The man smiled and took the pack off his back. He unzipped the top. The heads of three tiny puppies emerged, from below, two more heads with shining black little eyes wiggled into view. The five pups were barely old enough to have their eyes open. Their little ears were still flat to their skulls. Their black and tan fur stood up soft and fuzzy. Their mother, the bleeding dog, pushed her way to the backpack and shoved her head into the middle of her litter and gave them all a cursory lick. The girl asked the man “What happened to the dog? Why is she bleeding?” “My wife stabbed her. Then she punched me, then she took off.” His explanation astounded her. She was not a mother herself, but instincts of nurturing took over and she unconsciously laid claim to the bag of puppies. Over the course of the next few minutes, she talked the man into leaving the puppies with the mother dog. The man wanted to keep one of the pups as his own, even though the puppies were only about14 days old. The girl convinced him that this was not the best idea, “Because the babies need their mother,” she argued. The man pointed to a distant apartment building and told the girl that he would be back after he went to see his mother in apartment # 103. This gave the girl the break she needed. After the man was out of sight, she once again called our machine, took the number for emergency dispatch and called for our assistance. I found her there, the dog lying with her head in the girls lap, a small knot of people around them blocking the entrance to the rundown apartment building. The dog’s eyes were huge, not quite bulging, but bigger than normal, maybe an illusion resulting from the skeletal shape of her emaciated body. The amount of blood visible on the girl’s hands and clothes was alarming. The dog was in shock, her gums were pale and her breathing was shallow and rapid. She was alert though…and hungry. When I offered her some kibble, a collective “Ahhh” went up from the crowd of people - she sprang to her feet looking for more food, urgently sniffing the ground. She had been lying on her injured side and the matted hair and blood became visible. She limped toward my van; for the moment forgetting about her pups, pursuing the much-needed food that I was using to leading her. I did not want to use a rope because I could not tell where all the wounds were. I carefully lifted her into the van and slid the door closed. I collected the pups and hurried to the animal hospital. Initially, we could not tell how serious her injuries were. I waited while the Vet shaved the area around a stab wound that was visible on her right side. It turned out to be a flesh wound. The knife appeared to have glanced off her ribs and exited, doing damage to her skin only and not penetrating into her abdomen. The dog laid very still, needing only minimal restraint. It seemed as if she knew she needed help, and she was grateful to receive it. In total, she had five stab wounds. Two to her ribcage, one to her cheek and the deepest, most injurious was to her right shoulder. The knife had penetrated the muscle, cutting deeply, luckily missing any major arteries or veins. The Veterinarian decided it would be best if the dogs remained in his care for the night. As we transferred the puppies into a kennel, we discovered that each pup had had a rubber band tied to its tail. This method of tail docking is heart wrenching, often times resulting in pain and suffering from: infection, gangrene or spinal abscesses resulting in paralysis and ultimately death. Fortunately the pups were infection free. I left the building that night wondering about the human experience. What type of person could do such a thing? What kind of demons wage war behind their eyes – battles that no one else can see? Do they want help? Can they be helped? That was yesterday. Today I sit here writing this. I have more questions than ever. I wonder about the monsters among us, and the angels that teach us. The Vet turned “Momma” loose today. She touched all the workers in the clinic with her big eyes and heart so full of trust I loaded her in my van, and took her to the shelter. I could not bring myself to unload her there, she does not deserve to be thrown into a situation like that: the terrifying smells, the concrete, sounds and threats of the other dogs, the risk of infection and disease. I left her in the van, loaded a big crate and brought her home to recuperate by the fire. I believed that she would acclimate to the hustle and bustle of my four kids and four dogs easier than the foreign environment of the Shelter. As my investigation progressed, I learned that the police had been to the house for an assault complaint. The officer reported that no one had been “assaulted”, but noted that the woman had killed the dog, in front of the children, and put it in a garbage can. The report makes no mention of the police seeing the body – unfortunately, it is not “illegal” to kill your dog. “How” you kill, your dog can be “Illegal” and charges are pending in this case. The curious part of this affair is the dog herself. Her behavior, trust and personality all tell a far different story than her wounds do. A dog that has suffered repeated abuse tends to demonstrate symptoms similar to abused human children, including: fear of being struck, fear of fast movements, short attention spans, distrust – visible in dogs by tense muscles, rapid assessments of its surroundings -plotting exit routes, tucked tail indicating fear, sensitivity to loud noises. The list could go on for pages. “Momma” behaves much like any other, normal “un-abused” dog. Actually, in some ways she acts like a dog that has lived a pampered and spoiled life. She will steal food from the garbage, jump up on you when she is happy to see you, she will force your attention by pushing you with her nose or her paw. Of course, her malnourished body indicates this is not true. Before bringing her home, I left her with a bowl of food in the van. When I returned to check on her, I was reminded of the final scenes of Ol’ Yeller…I slid the door open and faced a snarling set of teeth, accompanied by a growl that could have loosened the bowels of Siefried and Roy. ”Momma” was not going to let me or anyone else, near her food. Initially, I thought she was growling at a pup that had crawled near her front leg. It was incredible. She held a long growl and snarl, staring hard at the pup. I watched and was amazed to see the body language play out between the two. The puppy, not big enough to walk properly, lay parallel with its mother. It lie motionless listening to the growl; then, quite purposely and dramatically, it turned its head away from his mother. At that instant Momma stopped growling…until she spotted me watching her…she growled and snarled threateningly…YIKES! I averted my gaze without moving, much as the little pup had. Momma stopped growling. I sensed that I was not in danger, if I played by her rules. There was no adrenalin rush, no hairs raising on the back of my neck…This Momma dog was talking an ancient language, shared between social species, irrespective of predator or prey status. She was saying “This is my food” and at the same time “I need you.”…but making it clear that her food was more important to her than I was. A new worker to the shelter came past the van just as the puppy turned its head back toward his mother. Momma instantly took up her Ol’ Yeller, act again. The worker became somewhat frantic at the whole situation. “Gary, you’re crazy. Close the door and let me get out of here.” She said. I tried to explain to her the value of this situation -as a learning opportunity for her. To see how this starving little mother, underfed for so long, was now - in her mind - happy, relatively safe, was determined to keep what she perceived as hers (very convincing she was too!). How under normal circumstances she would be deemed “food aggressive”, how she could be seen as “dangerous”. How, at the same time her “aggression” - determinedly focused on survival, was controlled and purposeful. Her behaviour in the vet clinic while injured, demonstrated her trust and love of us human creatures, her submissiveness was apparent by the lack of force needed to hold her down to inspect her painful wounds. Yet, her use of “language”, her ability to communicate is so strong, clear and concise as to be painfully moving for those who care to listen. Where others see danger and threat, I see eloquence and hope. Momma is at home with me now. Her affinity to my children was instant. I could almost see her remembering her human children -the ones that had seen their mother stab the family’s dog. I had a flash of her, huddled in a dark room, tiny hands and arms clutching her neck for security, or trying to comfort her. While outside the room, a war of anger and abuse raged on between the drunken “grown-ups” of the house: Angry shouts, thrown articles, screams, slamming doors, the back of her neck growing damp with the tears of the children. Even with her “outburst” I couldn’t leave her at the shelter. She was not a monster, in spite of what my coworker thought. She was not “dangerous”, she had been in danger. She needed to feel whole again. Not, institutionalized with a litter of babies in a concrete cell. She was predictable, I knew I could deal with it…easier than I could deal with myself if I would have left her at the shelter. The greatest disservice to animals, perpetrated time and again, is the ability of us humans to ease our conscience in keeping animals out of our hearts by calling them “unpredictable”. When you take the time to learn the language, every species of animal is predictable, with the exception of only one …

Chicago Transit Authority representatives (from left) Jeffrey Wilson, senior manager of government and community relations; Steve Hands, senior project manager of strategic planning; and Mike McLaughlin, vice president of planning and federal affairs. View Full Caption Provided/CTA LAKEVIEW — With its very own opposition coalition and a decent chunk of media attention, the proposed Brown Line bypass at the Belmont station has been ruffling feathers since it was announced last spring. Officials from the Chicago Transit Authority are hopeful that a June 3 public hearing will give them a chance to fully explain the need for the flyover, answer questions and get feedback from neighbors. Ahead of that, DNAinfo Chicago sat down with CTA representatives to ask six common questions about the project. - Do we really need the Belmont flyover? Why isn't updating the track structure enough to fix capacity issues? - Hang on. I thought this was all about shortening the wait time. - Why bother sending my feedback to the CTA? Is it going to make any difference? - How is the CTA going to pay for all this? - I don't want a big ugly structure marring my neighborhood. What's the CTA plan for redevelopment? - Affected property owners are tired of waiting around to see if their homes will be sold. What's going on with the acquisition process? 1. Do we really need the Belmont flyover? Why isn't updating the track structure enough to fix capacity issues? CTA says: Overcrowding on trains, especially during rush hours, can leave passengers stranded on platforms or suffering delays as Red and Purple line trains wait for the northbound Brown Line trains to cross over at the Belmont station. The CTA has been adding more trains to the lines during peak hours, but "we're at capacity now. Even a one-percent growth (in ridership) would put us way past capacity," said Steve Hands, CTA senior project manager of strategic planning. After considering 20 alternatives, the bypass was the project that would disrupt the neighborhood the least while still increasing capacity. To get federal funding for the Red-Purple Modernization project, it must increase capacity by at least 10 percent. While plans to update and replace track lines and structures will help to a smaller degree, "you have to relieve the bottleneck before you can deal with the other constraints that are limiting capacity," Hands said. Adding the flyover as a fifth track at the junction will increase capacity by more than 30 percent, the CTA estimates. 2. Hang on. I thought this was all about shortening the wait time. CTA says: The wait times are a symptom of the capacity constraint. Eliminating that constraint allows the CTA to run more trains with fewer delays, boosting hourly ridership by 7,200 per hour on the three lines. As for the fluctuating average wait times, it's difficult to measure how the Brown Line crossing over slows trains as far down as Armitage or Clark and Division stations. "It's like saying you're at a traffic light and it's backed up — how long is the wait time? When do you start the line for the light? Traffic doesn't start at the intersection," said Mike McLaughlin, vice president of planning and federal affairs. Last year, the CTA hit its highest annual ridership since it began recording the data in 1961. "Ridership is expanding nationwide, and the trend has been continuing for 20 years," McLaughlin said. To measure ridership growth, the CTA made projections based on the number of train riders, loading flow and Red and Purple line boardings. Even the most conservative estimate showed an "urgent need" for increased services, Hands said. 3. Why bother sending my feedback to the CTA? Is it going to make any difference? CTA says: Plans are only between 10 and 30 percent complete at this stage, which means there's plenty of time for residents to voice their opinions. Aside from the flyover itself, the CTA said its willing to consider a range of alternatives to lessen the impact on the neighborhood. "Absolutely, 100 percent, there is wiggle room," said Jeffrey Wilson, senior manager of government and community relations. Wilson also promised the agency would meet with any neighborhood organization looking for more information, now that the environment assessment has been released. Prior to construction, the CTA also wants to know what side effects are of most concern to neighbors. "We think we have all the answers with regards to mitigation, and then you go to a community meeting, and they say, 'Well we don't care about that, we're more worried about our neighborhood being overrun with rats,'" Wilson said. In renderings released Tuesday, the CTA depicts what the Brown Line flyover would look like at the Belmont station. [Provided/CTA] 4. How is the CTA going to pay for all this? CTA says: The agency is hoping to get federal funding for about half of the $1.9 billion Red-Purple Modernization project. The money would come from the Core Capacity program that began in 2012. To get the money, the project must improve capacity by at least 10 percent, which is why the flyover is vital to the project. "If you just do [track improvements] from Lawrence to Bryn Mawr, you're talking over $1 billion of just local funds. The local share actually increases if you don't do the bypass," McLaughlin said. The remainder will be state and city, and despite Gov. Bruce Rauner's proposed transportation cuts "there's talk about a capital funding bill, so we're hopeful." 5. I don't want a big ugly structure marring my neighborhood (just look at the Wilton Avenue lot). What's the CTA's plans for redevelopment this time around? CTA says: One of the first steps following the environmental assessment is starting work on a Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan. Along with the office of Ald. Tom Tunney (44th), chambers of commerce and neighbors, the CTA will create a plan to determine what sort of redevelopment will fit with the neighborhood and establish recommendations from the community. The plan will be completed before construction begins. Ideally, the CTA would like the areas surrounding the Belmont station to see the same redevelopment progress as neighborhoods near the Brown Line expansion project. The agency pulled the Wilton Avenue lot from listings when the Great Recession struck in 2009. About 100 feet of the plot is currently on the market, but by the time the economy had recovered, the CTA pegged the land for the Red Purple Modernization. "Did we, in good faith, put those properties on the market when the project was done? Yes, we did. But we didn't have a crystal ball, and we didn't know there would be a recession. Nothing was moving," Wilson said. The Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan is designed, in part, to remedy that problem this time around. Redevelopment would be vital to keep the Lakeview neighborhood flourishing. This rendering depicts the northwest view from Clark Street and Buckingham Place with and without redevelopment. [CTA] 6. Affected property owners are tired of waiting around to see if their homes will be sold. What's going on with the acquisition process? CTA says: Property owners ready to sell can begin the early acquisition process, which some have already done. The CTA has appointed a real estate consultant who is at the owners' disposal any time and hand-delivered multiple letters about the project's progress. Neighbors still have at least two years before construction begins, meaning renting properties can also be a viable option for those ready to move on, said spokeswoman Tammy Chase.

The “permanent closure” notice posted at Let it Bean. Thanks to Mark and many others for sending pictures to us We’ve been surprised before by the coffee shack’s business resiliency but this just might really be the end. Yet another hole — this one, teensy, tiny — is about to be torn in Broadway’s business fabric. Let it Bean is set to close this coming weekend. Owner Candace Smith confirmed the closure plans with CHS earlier this month. It has been no secret. Smith posted a note to let customers know what was coming. Smith tells CHS the 80-square-foot coffee stand in the teriyaki restaurant parking lot at Broadway and Harrison, despite its grandmothered usage allowing it to operate as a drive-thru, just doesn’t generate enough business to cover costs. “I’m closing because the rent and labor costs are too high for where our sales are,” she writes. “Coffee is a hard product to charge more for.” Let it Bean transformed itself out of the former TNT Espresso in late 2016. Smith acquired the business from Rock Sielaff who, in turn, acquired it from longtime TNT operator Monica Anaya. Sielaff’s tour of duty lasted a year. Anaya, or Momo, and her crew were behind the counter for much longer. We visited in 2015 to say goodbye to the shack only to see it spring back to life with new ownership. That could again be the case with the latest closure. But Smith said any new business will be starting from scratch — all of the espresso gear is being pulled out when Let it Bean closes, she said. As for Smith, she tells CHS she will get back to focus on her career as a massage therapist. The closure will join a ripple of businesses exiting Broadway. The month started with an abrupt shuttering of the second-coming of Charlie’s on Broadway. A bankruptcy meltdown of the chain means Broadway’s American Apparel will close any day now. And on Friday, Dilettante announced it was exiting its birth neighborhood at the end of the month with the closure of its cafe and martini bar at Broadway and Mercer. Let it Bean is scheduled to remain open through Sunday, January 29th.

"Search the woods and bring her back" "That way!" "What are you doing out of bed?" "You..." "What's the matter?" "Why did you try to trap me?" "You're not calling me Sir?" "Perhaps I deserve it" "Why should I respect you?" "You're a hopeless drunk" "I told you so." "I told you to observe more and fight less - but you insisted on showing off your martial arts" "Learned your lesson now?" "You know what's wrong with you?" "You get mad too easily" "Let me examine your wound" "I don't need your help" "That poisonous dart should have made her collapse" "We've scoured the woods." " Useless idiots!" "Your whole gang beaten by a little girl" "When word gets out you'll be laughing stocks" "If I get hold of her, I'll..." "Shut up!" "No.5!" "Go after her and don't return empty-handed" "It looks bad" "Miss Chang, there's no other way I must suck the poison out" "It's all right now" "Drunken Cat, aren't you the lucky one!" "Please make yourselves at home." " Thanks" "You're a bunch of cowards!" " Wait a minute!" "We only came to see how you were" "How can you think so poorly of us!" "You'll have to carry her back" "What are you up to?" "Don't talk so much!" " She hasn't recovered yet, sir." "Please let her go" "Who asked you?" "Get out of the way!" "Still here?" "Take a rest inside" "You must be tired of living" "Why do you want to see me for?" "I have some corpses for you." " Corpses?" "Special delivery" "Who ordered you to bring them here?" " How about a drink?" " Speak up!" "It's a hot day and I pushed them for miles." " Hell!" "Where did you find the bodies?" " In the woods" "How did you know to deliver them here?" "I knew your No.5." " What else did you see in the woods?" "I saw a girl fighting with No.5" "A girl?" "What else did you see?" "Talk!" "I was passing through the woods when I saw her fighting these men" "She really let them have it and sent those guys to heaven" "I was so scared" "She did it herself?" "She had me deliver the bodies to you." "Said you'd tip me five taels of silver." "I never thought..." "Wait" "Here's five taels of silver." "What else did she say?" "Thanks." "She said..." "She said for you not to worry the poison wasn't strong" "What else?" " That her name's Swallow" "She also spoke of a business deal." "Told me to bring back any message you have for her" "Let's go." "You can remove the corpses yourself" "Drunken Cat, take me to her" "She said she wouldn't meet me till tomorrow morning" "Where?" " She said she'd come find me" "No.3!" "Keep an eye on him and clear those beggars out" "I still haven't eaten!" " Shut up!" "Get him some food and fetch the monk for the funeral" "The girl mentioned a business deal." "What's it all about?" "Stick to drinking and mind your own business." " Sure, sure" "Abbot Liao Kung is here, sir" "Second Master wants you to greet him" "Keep an eye on him." "Don't let him out of your sight." " I understand" "Don't move!" "It's hot." "Can I borrow a fan?" "I said don't move!" "I won't" "Who's this Abbot?" "Who?" " Nobody you know." "Don't ask" "Where was No. 5 wounded?" "The heart." "Doesn't look like a dagger wound" "Open the coffin and examine the corpses" "No, she didn't kill him." " Who did?" "Did the beggar carry a bamboo pole with a gourd fixed to its top?" " Yes" "To think he was right under my nose the whole time!" "You know him?" " He's the one I've been looking for" "Why would an Abbot look for a beggar?" "We had the same kung fu master" "Had I known, I wouldn't have been so rude" "He didn't look like a kung fu ace" "He's truly a great master" "But compared to me he still has a way to go" "What's his name?" " Fan Ta Pei" "But because he drinks morning to night" "Some call him the drunken hero" "He killed all five" "So he's one of us and it's all a misunderstanding?" " Misunderstanding?" "When our teacher died - he stole his treasured heirloom the bamboo pole - and started a new sect" "The elders have ordered me to kill this treacherous infidel - and recover the pole" "Where is he?" " In the rear hall" "Seize him" "What happened?" "Where's the beggar?" "He escaped" "He won't get far!" "Sir, you should have something to eat" "You've been uneasy since you returned" "Something's definitely bothering you" "You've helped me so much" "I won't trouble you further" "You can't do it alone" "Come here" "Lift up that stone" "No, the big one" "Throw it at my head" "Come on, strike me!" "Do it again" "Fling it higher this time" "Are you all right?" "My days are numbered" "What did you tell Jade-face Tiger?" "My classmate Liao Kung is the Abbot" "Will you entreat him to save my brother?" "Even though we had the same teacher we are enemies" "He wanted to inherit this bamboo pole so he covertly assassinated our teacher" "The next time we meet only one of us will live" "How come he joined Jade-face Tiger?" "Our teacher had no idea how evil he really was" "The Abbot and Jade-Face Tiger are birds of a feather" "Why don't we arrest him and eliminate this scourge?" "His kung fu skills are unsurpassed" "I doubt if I can beat him" "He once did me a good turn" "Ten years ago, I was a homeless orphan" "He was the one who convinced our teacher to raise me" "Because of this kindness I've always tried to avoid him" "I see" "You need not concern with my troubles" "I'll manage on my own" "Miss Chang!" "Wait" "There's one way out" "Bring the Governor's prisoner back and save your brother" "I can't without permission." "My father would never agree" "Fortunately, he's still unaware of what's going on here" "Just escort the prisoner back." "I'll have him arrested again" "If I deliver your leader will you free Master Chang?" "Sir, since you're willing to help us we'll do as you say." " Good!" "Where shall we make the exchange?" " At the southern slope" "What time?" " Noon tomorrow" "It's a deal" "This green bamboo staff... long and slender" "With it two travel from north to south" "Rain or shine" "Liao Kung!" "You still recognize me." " We two were fated to meet again someday" "Still a beggar after all these years?" "Better an honest beggar than a devil in monk's clothing" "I've worked hard to wear this robe" "Dyed red with our teacher's blood" "Where's his bamboo pole?" "It's a sacred relic." "You'll never touch it" "As the eldest disciple it should be mine" "I am obliged to uphold the honor of our sect" "Disciples must obey our ancient code" "Anyone who discredits it must be punished no matter what his rank" "Even an abbot?" "Teacher swore that the day you saw the bamboo pole would be the day you die" "So you mean to take my life" "You must pay for teacher's death" "Well, if he so ordered." "what are you waiting for?" "I can't forget you once saved me" "Aren't you the noble one!" "Enough of your idle chatter... give me the bamboo pole and I'll let you live" "Otherwise, it's a fight to the finish" "I saved your life and I can destroy your life" "Grant me three days' grace." " So you can run away?" "I promised to escort Master Chang home" "You're on the verge of death yet still middle in others affairs" "I'm asking for a favor." "Stay out of this affair" "Your affairs are of no concern to me in three days we can settle our score" "You can't escape, anyway." "Three days won't matter" "You may go" "What's the meaning of this?" "You have the reputation of a man of integrity" "How can you break your word?" "I made a promise, there was no alternative" "Please try to understand" "Old beggar, I know what you're up to" "We won't say anything this time" "But if your paths cross again you better stay out of our way" "I won't forget your benevolence." "I'll never interfere in your affairs again" "Till we meet again." "Let's go" "Thank you!" "Protect the sedan chair" "Are you all right, brother?" " Yes" "Tell them if they don't stop I'll kill you" "Hold it!" "Take some men and go on ahead." "I'll have a look up there." " Good!"

One Good Turn (novel) One Good Turn (subtitled A Jolly Murder Mystery) is a 2006 crime novel by Kate Atkinson set in Edinburgh during the Festival. “People queuing for a lunchtime show witness a brutal road rage incident - an incident that changes the lives of everyone involved.” It is the second novel to feature former private investigator Jackson Brodie and is set two years after the earlier Case Histories. Plot Principal characters Paul Bradley, lost in central Edinburgh, is driving a rented Peugeot when he brakes suddenly to avoid hitting a pedestrian who stepped out in front of his car Terence Smith a.k.a. 'Honda Man,' driving a Honda Civic, collides with the rear of the Peugeot and attacks the driver with a baseball bat, knocking Bradley unconscious Martin Canning, a successful author of crime novels (set in the 1940s and featuring a heroine called Nina Riley), witnesses the incident and throws his laptop bag at the attacker to stop him killing the prostrate driver. Honda Man does not respond but gets in his car and drives off Jackson Brodie, divorced ex policeman and now retired private detective, is visiting Edinburgh with his girlfriend Julia (featured in the first novel), who is appearing in a Fringe production. He witnesses the attack and leaves his card with Martin. Gloria Hatter, wife of millionaire builder Graham Hatter, under investigation for fraud Tatiana, a Russian call-girl seeing Graham Hatter. Louise Munroe, a Detective Sergeant and single parent, who is called to Cramond to investigate a drowned woman and becomes attracted to Jackson Brodie Reception Reviews were mostly positive. Justine Jordan of The Guardian enjoyed the novel, saying 'the finale, when the cast are manoeuvred together for a violent climax and the inevitable expostulations of "You? Here? Why?", does not slot the pieces together as neatly as the Russian dolls which stud the novel might suggest. But the pleasure of One Good Turn lies in the ride, in Atkinson's wry, unvanquished characters, her swooping, savvy, sarcastic prose and authorial joie de vivre'. Liesl Schillinger of the New York Times said, "Kate Atkinson shows again, in her inimitable bleakly funny way, how much easier it is to explain a death than to solve a life." In "no hurry to judge," Atkinson "acts like a hidden camera, dispassionately recording her characters’ deeds and misdeeds so they can indict themselves. Indeed, she has woven the technological accessories of the last 10 years into the fabric of her story, threading them through it like an invisible current into which the lives of all her characters are plugged." But Amanda Craig writing in The Independent says 'Unlike its dark and dazzling predecessor, One Good Turn is neither a good literary novel nor a satisfying detective story, though it had the potential to have been both'. This novel was “shortlisted for the British Book Awards Crime Thriller of the Year.” Adaptations The novel was adapted for television with two other of Atkinson's Brodie series for the BBC in 2011 with the overall title Case Histories. This novel was covered as the second two parts of the series.

I grew up playing in hardcore punk bands and fighting skinheads, and the political mantra for that scene was “€œAnarchy and Peace.”€ It seems incredibly naïve in retrospect, but being into punk rock was actually great training for becoming a rational, libertarian, paleoconservative adult. Here are 10 reasons why: 1. IF YOU”€™RE NOT AN ANARCHIST WHEN YOU”€™RE YOUNG, YOU HAVE NO HEART; IF YOU”€™RE NOT A LIBERTARIAN WHEN YOU”€™RE OLD, YOU HAVE NO BRAIN The anarcho-punk movement scoffed at the whole duopoly of right and left. We realized at a very young age that the whole idea of a political spectrum is a trick to get you to participate in their dippy game. We didn’t want anything to do with any government institution, including cops. If skinheads beat up one of us, we”€™d round up a posse and go get them (and often get beaten up again, but that wasn’t the point). In contrast, today’s kids ask the government for everything from paying their student loans to finding them more black friends. 2. YOU HAVE INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT DRUGS CAN DO Conservatives sound painfully square when they talk about drugs. They seem to think pot is the same as acid is the same as heroin. That’s like saying getting a blowjob is the same as having your mind blown is the same as blowing your head off. After a prolonged and decadent adolescence, I can focus all my hatred of drugs where it matters”€”on heroin. Pot is a silly distraction that’s about as dangerous as bourbon. LSD gave me the ability to think light years outside the box and to this day, whenever I get hiccups I simply tell my brain, “€œI don”€™t want these anymore”€ and it makes them stop. But heroin is a whispering devil that hides your fear of death under a blanket while it smothers you to death with a soft pillow. Losing a dozen or so friends to it wasn”€™t a blast, but I can speak with authority about which drugs are bad and why. “€œWe learned the hard way that you can”€™t reason with zealots.”€ 3. A D.I.Y. YOUTH LEADS TO AN ENTREPRENEURIAL ADULTHOOD The term “€œDo It Yourself”€ was hardcore punk’s balls-out code of honor. If you wanted a band to come to your town, you”€™d write them a letter, agree on a portion of the door, and plaster the city with flyers. It didn”€™t matter if you were only a teenager. You made it happen no matter what. At 17 I got a call from some bureaucrat at the public transit authority who said they were prosecuting me for vandalism because my show’s flyer was pasted to a bus-stop shelter. I knew they had no proof it was me so instead of confessing, I explained that the bands on the flyer have many devout followers and it must have been one of them. This is a great lesson for a future entrepreneur. 4. DRESSING LIKE A GOOF LEADS TO NOT DRESSING LIKE AN ASSHOLE Punk and hardcore were totally against fascism except when it came to getting dressed. Your laces had to be perfectly parallel on your 14-hole Dr. Martens (no other brand allowed). Your pants had to be hemmed short, not rolled up, and decorating your leather jacket took about a month of gut-wrenching arts and crafts. It’s gauche to dress punk as an old man, but you will never catch an ex-punk wearing pajamas at the airport or baring his toes in a bar. Our suits are tailored, our pants fit perfectly, and after the age of 30, our T-shirts don”€™t say a damn thing. 6. SLAM DANCING TEACHES CAMARADERIE Before it was called moshing it was called slam dancing, and the most important rule was: If anyone falls, you have to lean down and scoop him up. Preventing your buddy from getting trampled builds character and leads to adults who would never consider throwing anyone under the bus.
