so today I was diagnosed with mild autism and mild aspergers, I wanted to ask should I tell everyone?
Hi Jason,
My own position is this - and it is my own position, not necessarily anyone else's.
I tell everyone. Everyone. People can take it as they choose.
And those who choose to take it as a reason to distance themselves from me... well, the further away they are, the better!
I'm proud of my autism. The same as I'd be proud to be gay if I was gay. I'm going to tell the world about it.
And the world can do what it likes with that information.
Thanks for all these reply's they are very helpful and I appreciate all of them. I just need to decide which one to follow
Yes, don't rush into anything. It takes confidence to come 'out'. Don't fret over it too much. Take your time.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Belgian authorities released on Friday a man with previous militant links who had been detained a day earlier after two gas cylinders were found in a van he was driving.
The man, identified only as M.A., told investigators the cylinders were for domestic use. Prosecutors told a news conference before his release that their initial findings supported his explanation.
The van was pulled over on Thursday afternoon after it had run a red light, officials said. The roads near the city's main Gare du Midi railway station were sealed off.
Prosecutors said checks had shown that one of the cylinders was empty, and no explosives or detonation mechanism were found in the car.
They said the man was known to authorities and had been sentenced to jail in 2016 for participation in the activities of a terrorist group.
The Belgian capital has been on high alert approaching the first anniversary of Islamic State suicide attacks that killed 32 people on March 22.
Police and soldiers reinforced security around Antwerp central station from Thursday evening until Friday morning after a film emerged showing scenes near the station and the message "We are still here".
Federal security experts subsequently concluded that there was no increased threat of an attack.

Art Stew 52 Instagram Takeover!: Using Stories to Remind You Who You Are
This week I had the new and exciting experience of taking over the @ArtStew52 account on Instagram!
Art Stew 52 is a community of artists and makers that started as a small group of creative friends contributing in their own ways (drawings, writings, fiber arts, etc.) to a weekly prompt for a year--hence the 52 for 52 weeks in a year. Since then it's grown to a thriving, welcoming online community that includes the weekly prompts, games, discussions, and (coming sometime soon!) a magazine!
(You can join in on Instagram and get some sneak peeks for the magazine on the website here.)
I'm so honored to have been asked to take over their Instagram Stories for a day, and though I was nervous about it (*cough* introvert *cough*), it was a total blast!
I talked about (you guessed it) stories--specifically about how stories can help remind you who you are and why you do what you do.
What does that actually look like in the practical, day-to-day though?
I share ALL about that in the video below, but the short answer for me right now, is this wall:
I created a wall (that I'm still adding to) full of images, quotes and bits of stories that remind me who I am, how I see the world, and what I want to do about it. I made it into a desktop wallpaper, too, so I can literally see it ALL the time.
We did the same thing throughout the day during my ArtStew52 takeover. Community members sent in images, quotes, and phrases that inspire them and give them focus and purpose, and I made them into a flatlay by the end of the day. From there I made it into a desktop and phone wallpaper so community members can have it in front of them all the time, too.
(Scroll down below the video to see and download these for yourself!)
Want to see the whole process? Check out the video below, which is a compilation of my Instagram Stories throughout the day. You'll get the whole story behind my wall, plus a studio tour and brief rundown of my favorite tools for creation!

Quezada Cuevas v. Border Patrol Agent Westerman and U.S.A., No. 14-00133 (S.D. Tex. Filed Sept. 25, 2014)
In April 2013, Plaintiff Quezada Cuevas was apprehended by the Border Patrol near Falfurrias, Texas. While in CBP custody, she tripped and fell, injuring her right arm. Border Patrol agents took her to a hospital in Corpus Christi, where she underwent two surgeries on her arm. After the second surgery, she was moved to a room to recuperate and given pain medication that made her extremely sleepy. She was guarded by Border Patrol agents while in this room. At one point, she woke to find Agent Westerman, who was alone in the room with her, with his fingers in her vagina and his penis exposed. Agent Westerman forced Ms. Cuevas to touch his penis with her uninjured hand, and he ejaculated into it. Although she tried to push him away, she was unable to do so. Agent Westerman wiped his hand with a towel and threw it in the trash can.
Because of the verbal abuse and threats she had already experienced from the other Border Patrol agents, Ms. Cueva initially was afraid to tell anyone what happened. Subsequently, Agent Westerman was again alone in the room with her and exposed his penis to her. Before he could do more, another agent came into the room and he quickly zipped up his pants. Plaintiff later told a nurse what had happened. The hospital staff dismissed the agents from the room and called local law enforcement. The local police and sheriff deputies arrived and took a statement and the towel Agent Westerman had tried to throw away.
Ms. Cuevas sued Agent Westerman in his individual capacity pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), for violations of her Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights. She also sued the United States for negligence under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). Ms. Cuevas specifically alleged that the other Border Patrol agent who had been guarding her hospital room, Agent May, had a duty to control Defendant Westerman's conduct, and that CBP was negligent in failing to assign a female agent to safeguard her while she was in the hospital.
On February 4, 2015, the government filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiff's FTCA claims, arguing that the discretionary function exemption to the FTCA deprived the Court of subject matter jurisdiction over the claim arising from Border Patrol agent May's conduct. The Court held that Plaintiff had failed to allege sufficient facts to show that Agent May had a duty to control Defendant Westerman's conduct, and that Defendant Westerman had acted outside the course and scope of his official duties.
Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint on August 28, 2015. The United States filed a second motion to dismiss on October 2, 2015.
On November 10, 2016, the District Court granted in part and dismissed that motion in part, The Court dismissed Ms. Cueva's assault claim and negligence claim arising from CBP's failure to assign a female agent to watch Plaintiff's hospital room.. The Court, however, denied the United States' motion to dismiss the negligence claim arising from the fact that another Border Patrol agent r who was in Ms. Cuevas' room had failed to prevent the assault.
Thereafter, the United States answered Plaintiff's amended complaint. Subsequently, the United States moved for summary judgment on Ms. Cuevas' remaining negligence claim. Plaintiff has opposed this motion, which remains pending before the Court as of April 2018.

The Rialto Jazz Orchestra Auditions
Each student must complete the application and audition for combos and big band. Auditions will be held August 14, 15, and 16, 2015. Applications will be available in July. The processing fee for applications and auditions is $25 (non-refundable).
The Rialto Youth Jazz Orchestra (RYJO) was formed by Dr. Gordon Vernick in June 2010. RYJO consists of one big band and five jazz combos. RYJO exposes students to the full spectrum of jazz music and education. The students are selected through audition; participating high school students come from the following counties: Fulton, Cobb, Dekalb, Gwinnett, Clayton, and Fayette. Home schooled students are also encouraged to audition.
Jazz is American music and it is important to protect and preserve this important musical and cultural heritage. The best way to do this is to teach young musicians about the art form through performance. Our big bands and jazz combos perform music that is both historically significant and challenging. The students receive outstanding instruction in jazz performance, jazz history, and jazz improvisation from our staff. Each jazz combo is supervised by one of the jazz faculty from Georgia State University. The groups range from the intermediate level to the advanced level. The combos are often asked to perform in the metro Atlanta area at music venues and senior centers.
This select high school group is a continuation of our middle school jazz program, Rialto Jazz for Kids. The young musicians are treated as professionals, even though they are still of high school age. We instill a sense of purpose, pride and responsibility with an emphasis on teamwork and artistic expression. Many of our students have gone on to study music at the university level. Former band members are currently attending New England Conservatory, Juilliard Conservatory, the University of North Texas, Georgia State University, Berklee College of Music, the University of Georgia, Kennesaw State, Florida State, and the University of Miami. Some past performance highlights include: concerts at Georgia State University, featured performances at Café 290, Churchill Grounds (Atlanta's premier jazz club), the Atlanta Jazz Festival in Piedmont Park (2011, 2013, 2014), the Jazz Education Network Conference (Atlanta 2013), and the Governors Inaugural Reception at Philips Arena in 2011.

RYJO operates from September through April each year, with auditions in August. Rehearsals are held weekly on Sunday afternoons from 4:30 – 6:30 PM (intermediate jazz combos only), and Monday nights (advanced jazz combos – 6:00 – 7:20 PM, Big Band – 7:30 – 9:30 PM).

Victorian premier Daniel Andrews has defended his comment that people who aren't in power have the "luxury" of complaining about police powers that infringe on civil liberties, saying effective political leaders must give police exactly what they need to combat terrorism.
He has also dismissed again Malcolm Turnbull's criticism of Victoria's moratorium on onshore gas exploration, saying geologists have said there are no proven gas reserves in Victoria anyway and he won't be ruining the environment on which farmers rely.
Speaking on the ABC's Insiders program on Sunday, Andrews was asked if civil liberties had become a luxury in modern Australia, following his dismissal last week of concerns from civil libertarians about a uniform federal law that will allow terrorism suspects, including minors, to be detained without charge for up to 14 days.
Andrews said last week: "There will be some ... who will focus on the notional infringement, the notional reduction in peoples' rights and liberties and freedoms, the rights and liberties of a small number of people.
"Some people have the luxury of being able to have that notional debate. Those of us in positions of leadership don't have that luxury."
And on Sunday he didn't resile from that remark, saying police had to have the powers they needed to protect Australians from terrorists.
"The luxury that no political leader in Australia has is to say no to law enforcement, 'No, we won't give you what you say you need, we won't give you the technology that you need to keep us safe ... Please go and keep us all safe but we won't give you what you need'," Andrews said on Sunday.
"Law enforcement have asked very carefully, in a considered way, for additional powers, additional support, additional resources, and it's the job of effective leaders in this country to give them exactly what is necessary.
"Static laws will not keep us safe from what is a profoundly dynamic threat."
State and federal leaders met at the Council of Australian Governments (Coag) on Thursday, where they agreed to give federal and state police real-time access to passport, visa, citizenship and driver's licence images for a wide range of criminal investigations – not just identifying terrorism suspects.
Turnbull told reporters after the meeting the new facial biometric matching agreement signed off by Coag was not a Big Brother-style mass surveillance exercise, but a modernisation of existing data-sharing practices between agencies.
The NSW premier, Gladys Berejiklian, said afterwards that governments needed to be conscious of individual rights and civil liberties, "however, public safety and security must come first".
Andrews on Sunday rejected Turnbull's criticism of the Victorian government's moratorium on gas extraction, saying he was not going to "smash up" country used by Victoria's dairy, wine or beef farmers, or its tourism industry.
"There are no proven or probable onshore conventional gas reserves [in Victoria]," he said.
"Drillers of course will say there's a river of gas under there ... [but] experts, so geologists and others, their position as it stands today is there are no proven or probable onshore reserves.
"We have a fracking ban, absolutely, and I'd encourage Malcolm Turnbull to go down to [Liberal MP] Sarah Henderson's electorate and have a chat to a few locals.
"Farmers, workers, environmentalists, mums and dads, the greatest political coalition we have seen in public policy for a very long time, people who perhaps don't agree on much, but they agree on that," he said.

Lighting Designer
Lighting designers develop a lighting design concept for a performance and supervise the execution of it. Their work is based on research and artistic vision. Their design is influenced by and influences other designs and must be conform with these designs and the overall artistic vision. Therefore, the designers work closely with artistic directors, operators and the artistic team. During rehearsals and performance they coach the operators to obtain optimal timing and manipulation. Lighting designers develop lighting plots, cue lists and other documentation to support the operators and production crew. Lighting designers sometimes also work as autonomous artists, creating light art outside a performance context.

Becoming is beloved by readers around the world.
It's been two months since Michelle Obama released her memoir, and it's still on top of Amazon's best-selling books chart. Becoming was the No. 1 "most sold on Amazon across all formats for 47 consecutive days," according to Amazon Charts. The book had the longest period at No. 1 since Fifty Shades of Grey's streak about seven years ago, enjoying many weeks in the top spot.
CNN reports that, on the 47th day, another book took over the No. 1 position, but Becoming has since returned to the top spot on the charts.

At the conclusion of the God of War: Ascension panel at PAX 2012, key members of the development team treated the audience to a video reveal of the "big bosses" to appear in Kratos' next (bloody) quest. Kratos will face three powerful beings known as the "Furies."[1]
The video confirmed that three Furies will appear in Ascension: The only one revealed in the video was a woman with spider-like appendages clawing out of her back. The God of War team also took note of her ability to infect her victims with parasites that emerge from her "upper chest area." This unnerving skill wasn't shown today, but I fear the day when it will.
Furies, or Erinyes, appear in ancient Greek mythology as female spirits of justice and vengeance. Often appearing to torment those who murdered members of their own family, Furies were capable of driving their target mad.[2]

"It is too early for you to come back in the house," Mom said through the closed glass storm door a full five minutes later. "Why don't you make a big snow man for Daddy to see when he comes home? He will be so surprised to see what you made." Okay, waddling back and forth across the front yard, stooped over and rolling the increasingly large ball of snow, I joined my excited sisters in making a snowman for Daddy. Of course, finishing the lower part of his body was no problem, as long as it ended up in the place we would want the snowman to stand. It was the largest ball. Pushing the middle ball over to join the base was a little bit trickier and our snowman sometimes held that middle-aged paunch if the second ball had to be rolled a bit too far to arrive in the right place. No problem, though, Daddy could trim him down later. The last ball was the easiest because it could be carried over to rest on top for his head. Once all three parts of the cold, wet personage had been created and moved to the first ball, the three of us little girls tried, together, to lift his large round tummy up to rest on the lower section. This was quite a feat because to drop the ball would break it up and the whole process would need to begin again. New snow just was not wet enough to hold together right away. There was a lot of grunting and instructing one another to move this way or that; but, sometimes, it actually did get in the right place before it fell off. Then the head ball had to be set on the very top. Depending on just how big the first two sections ended up, we may or may not have been able to put his head on. Yes, there were times when Mr. Snowman was still in three parts when Daddy got home and it was his job to assemble the parts, which would be stuck to the cold ground and not as easy to hoist up as it would have been that morning! When all three parts were in place, snow was stuffed all around the area where the two balls came together. Once it had frozen in place, it would stay there until the thaw came. It is possible that when we were older the snowman actually did get finished before we were so wet and cold we just had to come inside the house, but I don't really remember—although, that may be due to my constant focus being on just how to get back in the house in the first place! At some point, however, the snowy front yard fixture included a variety of elements to give him eyes, a nose, a mouth, and, of course, some kind of hat and scarf to keep him warm out there! Tree branches were stuck in the middle section to give him arms.
Once back in the house, wet snowsuits and mittens lying over the wooden clothes rack stretched out on the furnace grate, we carefully sipped our steamy cups of hot chocolate with marshmallows floating on top. It was a treat that almost made it worth the wintery torture!
Since Montana had cold and snow for, at least, half of the year I could hardly wait to grow up to move to warmer winter pastures. There just had to be a better way for a kid to spend her weekends and Christmas vacations. Indeed, there was!

These Cannabis Pens Naturally Support Sexual Wellness – Here's How
Your mood: You want pleasure. And the scientists at Dosist—they want that for you, too.
That's because feeling good is actually good for your body and brain, and THC in Dosist pens arouse and passion are specifically designed to make you feel aroused naturally and enhance your sensuality.
Testing 1, 2, 3
Sex is healthy. And you want all the things for your body. It's 2018, baby—and it's cool to seek pleasure. Research shows that certain chemicals in cannabis can interact with our brain chemistry to improve how we feel and our sexual health.
There's a very real connection between cannabis and sex, according to a 1974 study published in The Journal of Sex Research. Cannabis, when it's released in certain doses, can actually help enhance both men and women's sex lives. Yep. Cannabis does not discriminate, especially when it comes to sex.
A 2017 study shows that Americans are really into using cannabis and sex, and that "higher marijuana use was associated with increased coital frequency." Researchers studied how often a group of 28,176 women--average age was 29.9 years--and 22,943 men--average age was 29.5. They found cannabis use was associated with increased sexual activity in the group. People who were using cannabis were also generally more intimate, more often.
Cannabis is one scientifically-proven way to improve or enhance sex. Maybe you don't want to smoke a joint or hit a bong before you get busy. But you might feel a little anxious, or try turning up the volume on your sex life.
Sex can improve your overall health by lowering your blood pressure. Sex is good for you and your heart. It reduces your risk for cardiovascular disease, especially among men.
Sex bonds you to your partner and creates another level of intimacy, makes your relationship fresh and cool. Its importance is equal to sleep, exercise and eating – the other important stuff.
Intimacy can help your brain chemistry and reduces your stress levels. But it's often been taboo in the past to talk about the connection between wellness and sexual health—people don't always want to talk about how physical intimacy and sexual activity can change your brain chemistry. It can enhance it.
Sex is a form of intimacy with added health benefits, including increased bladder control for women and reduced risk of prostate cancer in men. And since we know there is a clear connection between brain and body, we also know that sometimes you might need a special boost. That's when cannabis comes in.
So what does that sexy boost actually look like? It could be a Dosist pen.
With THC, you could have an even better, more heightened orgasm. Dosist has it down to a science with specifically tested, accurate doses that help release the right amount of THC you need to get busy, physically chill out, relax and stimulate your brain.
When you climax, brain chemicals like dopamine come rushing in at the moment of orgasm, then as the dopamine surge goes down the hormone oxytocin wants in. It's known as the "cuddle hormone" and gives you that same effect as when you're cuddling in bed with your partner, giving you that same attachment you get post-orgasm, heavy-breathing, glowy (most likely sweaty) moment. It's also natural pain relief.
THC can mingle with dopamine and regulate the release of oxytocin by acting on the endocannabinoid receptors. That means you can potentially have a stronger orgasm and even more intimate experience.
How many hits does it take to get to the center of the...
It's discreet in size, but there's a special way to use a Dosist pen.
To get started, you inhale the medical cannabis oil vaporizer. There are two sizes, one has 200 doses per pen, the other has 50 doses per pen. With each inhale you will see a small light and feel a vibration— indicating that you've consumed one dose. It's a three-second straight inhaling interval, and each inhale is equal to one dose. You can also inhale for less than three seconds, but it won't guarantee you'll have the 2.25 mg dose.
It's not amateur hour. The Dosist pen is designed to specifically help naturally enhance your excitement and relax your mind and body. It's a formula with a purpose.
Arouse helps ease some of that anxiety you might have around sexy time. Passion gives you that extra euphoric boost, enhancing the overall sensations of sex. Instead of feeling in your head, you can feel your body. You can go ahead and enjoy yourself.
... Is this thing working?
Everyone is different. Everyone experiences cannabis differently, so try these steps to see how you feel.
Since it's not a puffing situation, try inhaling slowly for three seconds. Dosist recommends trying your first dose then waiting about 15 minutes to see if it settles in your system. That's regardless of your experience with cannabis. Dosist also suggests limiting your intake to three doses per hour, giving your body the time you need to respond to the recommended dosage.
Arouse is a THC-forward formula that includes a ratio of 10:1 THC-to-CBD. The precise terpene blend features the terpenes linalool and farnesene that keep you feeling excited. There are no fillers–-just the good stuff. You get 50 to 200 doses (2.25mg per dose) in the pre-filled dose pen. It's a precise and exact dose each time.
Dosist pens give you a high that feels predictable, so you know what you're getting. This also goes for the passion formula, which gives you a ratio of 11:1 THC-to-CBD. This is driven by the terpene mycrene and blended with limonene, which gives you a euphoric vibe to help heighten your sexual experience.
Check out Dosist arouse and passion pens, and learn more about them when we partner with Savoir Collab on Saturday, Aug. 11 to give you The Sex Talk You Never Had. Do you have questions about your body that you can't ask your mom, dad, or health teacher? Kidding. But really. We know you have questions. So we'll check in about it. It's happening at Lunya in Santa Monica.

We decided to drive over to the other treed area Dave went trudging through the maze of trees and came back for me to inspect his selection. Joshua was the only one who still had energy left for cutting down a tree so Elijah kept an eye on everyone well I went and okayed the tree. Joshua helped cut the tree down.
We got the tree home and in it's stand and decided to let it warm up for the night. Sunday afternoon we got out the lights and decoration out and had a great time decorating.
I don't think Hannah could possible have smiled any bigger. Hannah and Joel are both ready for the presents to be put underneath the tree. Elijah, Taliah and Joshua all understand the concept of Christmas falling on the 25th and are patiently waiting, as for Joel and Hannah I think I will be continually asked until the 25th. It was a lot of fun and Dave and I enjoyed just watching them.

So many of you may know me as the little blonde-haired girl who was always attached to the hip of her mother, Allison. Others may know me as Madi, the girl who is still attached to the hip of her mother, Allison. Since my mom has overwhelmed herself with renovating the bathroom, I took it upon myself to lend a hand and entertain you all this week. I am a freshman at Millersville University (which may make some of you feel old...Sorry!) which means I stay up until 3:30 in the morning writing stuff like this! After almost a year of thinking about it, I finally got myself to sit down and write this letter. This may seem cliche to some, but anyone who has ever been or is going through a breakup will know exactly what I am talking about. I wish a year ago I had a letter like this to read and reassure me I would be fine. And to the girl or guy who may be going through a breakup, chin up! It really will get better—I promise!
For so long I've thought about how I should say this. How I should word it. How do you possibly address the person who made you so happy for so long yet inflicted so much pain.
At first I couldn't breathe. I am strongly convinced having a broken heart is actually an illness. My restless nights and empty stomach grieved over what went wrong. My mind replayed every last detail trying to figure out what happened. I never quite understood what was so wrong with me that you couldn't say it to my face. What could possibly make you stop loving me so quickly when I loved you so much. I was convinced the feeling would never leave. The pit in my stomach that wouldn't let me eat would be permanent and the bags under my eyes were my brand new accessory.
Then I started to hate. I admit I may have burned many of your things. The sweatshirts made for a great fire. I deleted your number and blocked you every way possible, even from my heart. I removed your face from my room as well as my memory... and now I can hardly picture you. I rearranged my room so it was like you were never there and ditched my bed for weeks because it had the smallest, very faintest smell of you. I cursed anyone wearing Black Polo cologne, and if he played baseball, well, he was just as bad as you.
I went for a rebound, then quickly realized it wouldn't fix the heart you had so "kindly" broken. It was brought to my attention a broken heart could not be mended by trying to love again. My heart had to be carefully sewn, super-glued and duct-taped back together before it could be capable of loving again.
I started to learn. Learn that I didn't do anything wrong. That I wasn't ugly and fat, or a disappointment or a let down, not an annoyance or an idiot. I realized that all humans have flaws, including me. But my flaws made me perfect, unique and special in all the ways you lacked to see. Or if by chance you saw them, lacked to acknowledge. I learned not to judge myself based on the way you treated me, because in the end I was worth much more than that.
I am beautiful and kind. I go out of my way to make people smile who I don't even know. I'm a phone call away for anyone in need. I'm a walking billboard for acceptance and as loyal as a dog. I did nothing wrong and I did not deserve how I was treated. You taught me exactly what to avoid and what I deserve. I deserve someone who respects me enough to be honest. Who thinks of me as a priority. Someone who calls me on my birthday.
Thank you for making me aware of my worth and forcing me to build myself back up. Without you breaking my heart, I would have never been able to craft up the one I have now. Becoming the type of person that not only loves everyone around her, but finally is able to love herself again too.
The girl you strengthened
A little thing I would like to share: As my dad always says, "No man is an island, he must draw his strength from others." Here are my others, or at least the ones I could find pictures of.

Brian Kerr: Les Bleus can provide their nation with final flourish
Deschamps' side have overcome defensive doubts and discovered winning formula which should give them an edge against Portugal
Despite all the understandable pre-tournament trepidation, there was only one moment when I felt really anxious during Euro 2016.
It was after the Irish defeat to Belgium in Bordeaux when we nearly missed the train. We struggled to get a taxi and myself and George Hamilton were re-enacting the 'French Connection'. I don't know which one of us was Popeye Doyle.
When we got to the station, the security checks were more exhaustive than anything we witnessed before. It was a brief reminder of what we had thankfully learned to forget.
Terrorist threats had overshadowed the tournament but, mercifully, never suffocated it. Whenever I passed through Gare Du Nord, what confronted me was a United Nations of colour, jerseys of every hue united in football, their devotion to the beautiful game defying the unspoken threat.
Security was obviously present but it seemed invisible to us. We had been warned not to use the metro but some of my most enjoyable times were spent there amidst the joyous, travelling hordes.
The French hosting of Euro 2016 mirrored their team's progress, beginning unobtrusively and seemingly becoming more and more impressive the longer the tournament went on.
By tomorrow night, ultimate victory could well be achieved and it would prove to be just as joyous as the World Cup experience for the hosts in 1998.
Of course, there had been nervous anticipation on the sporting front too as regards the novel, 24-team format deployed by UEFA.
It has to be admitted that it was hugely beneficial for the overall profile of the game in Europe, particularly when almost half of the countries who started out on the qualifying road to France ultimately reached their destination.

We have viewed tremendously colourful snapshots of just how the feverish madness witnessed on this entire island was replicated in other countries like Iceland and Albania.
One wonders, though, after a while, will the public get tired of the surfeit of games initially involved in eliminating just over half of the competing countries from qualifying, before then taking another 36 tournament games to evict only eight teams before the knockout round?
A novelty factor is not always sustainable.
Spain's summer confirmed the end of their wonderful era. Their adaptation from tiki-taka to a new football language has not yet been fully translated.
Because of the extra knockout round, it seems unlikely we will ever again witness a surprise winner such as Greece (2004) or Denmark (1992).
Still, Iceland and the other small nations, in terms of population - Albania, Northern Ireland and the Republic - brought colour, made friends and attracted the interest in the underdog story.
I was getting texts from people with no love of football. "Come on Iceland!"
But really only ourselves and Wales in patches brought anything exciting football-wise to the party.
This tournament has once again confirmed the fact that solid organised defensive structures, with a good counter-attacking plan, goes a long way.
Many of the star individuals that teams were relying on to become the pathway to success - Lewandowski, Ibrahimovic, Kane, Muller, Hazard - were instead confronted by frequent road-blocks, largely nullified by defensive systems and tight marking.
In truth, only Gareth Bale, Antoine Griezmann and Cristiano Ronaldo have surmounted the challenge and produced the goods on anything approaching a consistent basis.
The lack of dribbling skills has been too glaring to ignore. Germany, renowned for their efficiency, have still not manufactured a centre-forward.
They deserved to make the final but circumstances conspired against them, as did their inability to mine a striker.
Systems have superseded the individual; it is little wonder the smaller nations set up in this manner for they are merely aping their superiors.
What this tournament has also shown is that dominating possession has become less important. Where Spain won the tournament four years ago at the peak of their powers by completely lording possession, the wheel has turned.
Just as we saw with Leicester winning the Premier League, more teams are happier to allow the opposition to have the ball in order to suck players into a counter-attacking spider's web.
Wingers are almost extinct. For now. Converted wingers, on the other hand, have become increasingly prominent.
Bale has moved inside; he is now effectively a number ten. Nani and Ronaldo have also forged new roles.
Most teams have dispensed with them but use adaptable midfielders and strikers in wider positions, supporting a lone central striker.
Even Martin O'Neill has renounced his original formation that included both Aiden McGeady and James McClean, although he still does try to retain one of them.
The endangered species that is the winger has been slowly culled to allow more players in midfield to gain control of that central area.
Also, full-backs are increasingly being deployed to provide teams with attacking width and are hence also responsible for the slow extinction of wingers.
Germany's full-backs had more ball than anyone against France but both Jonas Hector and Joshua Kimmich lacked the dribbling and crossing ability that could create enough chances. This, allied to the lack of a centre-forward that could finish them, led to their downfall.
What's become obvious is that forward players need to be much more adaptable. Very few teams are playing with two out-and-out attackers any more. Even our leading striker, Shane Long, was mostly deployed on the right.
Although France and Portugal have reached the final with two front men - albeit not exactly alongside each other - most teams have played with one central, focal striker with support from two or three erstwhile centre-forwards or ex-wingers.

Closer to home, Wales' progress outstripped everyone on these islands; while they won four of their six games, the two Irish teams and England won just three of their 12.
What set Wales apart? For a start, they had the only world-class player. They had a team that had been settled for almost two years now, aided by a well-drilled defensive system and a Premier League midfield capable of consistently retaining possession.
England's showing confirmed that their massive potential was merely that. They failed to achieve the correct balance between potential and experience.
A kind word wouldn't go amiss for Northern Ireland, who exceeded expectations by getting to the last 16 with a limited squad.
For Ireland, the circumstances of Robbie Brady's goal against Italy and the joy that ensued were memorable moments.
Overall, we have found something that works, a cadre of young players like Brady, James McCarthy and Jeff Hendrick who can pass the ball and play with a bit of traditional Irish style. Neat, clever football laced with passion. Here's hoping this can be maintained on a regular basis.
As he admitted at the start of his tenure, Martin O'Neill would have discovered that international football is a different kettle of fish.
Until this summer, it has been a lengthy experimental time in terms of style, system and personnel.
A lot of his preconceptions have been swept away. It took the searing, white-hot intensity of tournament play to allow a different new team to emerge, one that might have a brighter future.
And it was great to see many Irish supporters throng to France, especially those from an ecumenical background.
I saw so many GAA and rugby rucksacks; I hope they're all converted.
Tomorrow night, we will finish where we started with France in Paris. But can they become champions?
Doubts about their defence, the ageing Patrice Evra and Bacary Sagna, the sometimes flaky Laurent Koscielny lacking a reliable partner, have been mainly overcome. The goals conceded to Iceland could be put down to a lack of concentration.
But the number of chances Germany spurned from crosses in the second half are likely to be punished by Ronaldo and Nani if that aerial uncertainty is repeated,
However, they showed a resilience personified by the new boy Samuel Umtiti that screamed a determination to lift the nation.
Didier Deschamps (left) has a massive decision to make again whether to start N'Golo Kante or stick with Paul Pogba and Blaise Matuidi who were completely outplayed in the semi-final.
The latter partnership allows him to use Griezmann where he is more effective behind Olivier Giroud. His five goals in two-and-a-half games since his half-time move against Ireland are a proof of the pudding.
But Kante's arrival shored up the French midfield. So does he plump for the three midfielders and Griezmann forced to the right? I think not.
I doubt Deschamps is overly concerned about the Portuguese midfield four. It is solid and neat in possession but only the 18-year-old Renato Sanchez shows attacking intent. They play narrowly with João Mario, Silva and Pereira protecting the defence.
The width and crossing supply comes from the impressive Cedric and Raphael Guerreiro.
Portugal have been involved in some fairly dull games since they scrambled to third in a group behind Hungary and Iceland, and the dullest of all the last 16 ties against Croatia where neither team had a shot on target.
Read More: Antoine Griezmann is the toast of France as his brace sends Germany crashing out
After just beating Poland, their performance against Wales was impressive. Once again Ronaldo was the glory boy, scoring one brilliant header and creating Nani's second.
Those two give Portugal a chance. Their pace and directness on the counter will be the ploy.
That's if Ronaldo is really in the humour to be the saviour. Some days he can be anonymous, some days a game-changer.
He can be cast as a villain, like after his comments about Iceland and his over-reaction to his own defenders' deficiencies against Hungary.
All will be forgiven if he drags a proud football nation to gold at last.
Portugal have lost ten in a row against France and the depth of squad and options give France the edge.
Only eight months since the Stade de France was bathed in shocking terror, a home victory, and a crowd swathed in defiant victory, would be a truly fitting conclusion.

It was five years ago tonight that my family and I sat and waited for my father to die.
I saw what my father had left from his life of 60 years. There were plenty of 'things', but those had lost meaning without him. There were the stories and experiences he had, and those remain for a time. And of course there was us. My sister and mother and myself. I made a decision then that I wanted more out of my life than just going with the flow and being a cog in the machine. I then spent the next year searching for something that made me feel special and it turned out that thing was photography.
At the time I was working in advertising, doing graphic design and flash programming, but ultimately these things made me miserable. I wanted to do more than sell toothpaste. On my deathbed I wanted to be able to smile about what I was leaving the world. I wanted to create instead of consume.
In many ways, my career as a photographer started on January 1st of 2007 when I started 365portraits.com by going over to my sister's apt and subjecting her to day one. First step of a journey and all that. A journey which has led me here, awake at 2:04AM on the anniversary of my father's death, trying to come to terms with what I haven't accomplished and how much my life hasn't changed or worked out the way I imagined. That is however a very silly thing to do, because it completely disregards so much of what has happened. What I've experienced and what I have accomplished.
I've had the privilege of meeting and shooting hundreds of subjects in the past 3 years. I've shot for a magazines, had full page portraits in TIME and BusinessWeek. Published books of my work, travelled to places around the world, and met the people who make my life worth living. I'm even an uncle now and everything, And hell, right now at SoHo Photo is a solo show of my Drabbles project. Who would have thought 3.5 years ago that I'd have a show of my photography at a New York City gallery? That's pretty cool.
Am I where I want to be? Hell no. There are times when I honestly feel like I've failed, or at least am in the process of failing, but I know that's not fair. Am I where I imagined I'd be 5 years on? Nope. If I could even define where that is, let alone achieve it, somehow I don't think that would be the answer either. As frustrating as it is to me, I think that my bliss comes from the process of figuring it out and beating the odds. I have so much more to say on the subject, but I just can't make sense of it, let alone words of it, at the moment. It's too late and I'm far too tired.
That said, I've often told people to never bet against me, and the next five years are going to be no different.

This is the bullshit of all bullshits! It is snowing like a goddamned son-of-a-bitch outside. And what is Scout doing? Sitting in this fucking condo with two infants and the chick who is in charge of wiping their asses all day, with my dick in my paw like a sap. Staring out the window at Seward Park just watching the snow pile up. To those who aren't in the know–Scout is a snowhound. Love to roll in it. Love to eat it. Love to run in it. Love to chase snowballs. Love to growl at and/or snap at any other dog who comes close to me while I eat a snowball. I just fucking love snow; bottom line. And here I sit all broken hearted, tried to shit but barely farted. Evolution really crammed it in ol' Scouter's ass with the not having opposable thumbs bullshit. This is key, and here's why. The front door to this condo–I absolutely know how to open it. Stand on my hind legs, put my front paws on the handle, let gravity take it down. Effectively door is open. But fuck you Darwin! Scout has nothing with which to hold the door handle while he walks backward. Oh woe is me! If I had opposable thumbs, I'm out that door before the babies or their minder can even yell "Scout, NO!". I'm down the hall, and the next step is a piece of cake; jump up and paw the down button on the elevator. Hit 1 once inside (and fuck you to anyone who says dogs can't read numbers. you know what they can do? hit every single fucking button and then wait to get out of the elevator once it opens on the one that looks like where I exit the building to go shit). The inside door in the Lobby, as well as the front door to get to the vestibule…..easy breezy Japanesey y'all. Just a push button and the doors swing out. Scout is tearing up snow and barking at mutherfuckers that get close so fast your head will spin. But since the humanoids have the thumbs I have to wait for their stupid asses to get home, make stupid ass faces at my sister, read about how many times she ate liquid food or took a dump throughout the day, pretend like they don't see the Scoutmeister, and then maybe….maybe I get to go outside and start pounding snow. C'mon fate, can a brotha get a thumb? Just one thumb. I'm not even asking for two. With one lousy, ugly, fat fucking thumb, just think what Scout could do. Open the door and go out in the snow and do whatever the fuck I want without dad's stupid ass yelling "NO!" when I eat goose shit (delectable btw). Open the treat cupboard and crush the sweet potato treats. Open the drawers they stick the bones and elk antlers in once they feel it has reached the point Scout might bite a mutherfucker over it. The sky is the limit. But without the biological key to this puzzle, Scout lays on his memory foam bed with his postcard view of the world he is locked out of. FML.

For pastor Thieringo
When I(pastor Thieringo) cry, answer me, God of my justice! When I am in distress, save me! Have pity on me, listen to my prayer!
And of men, how long will my glory be outraged? How long will you love vanity, will you seek lies? -Pause.
Know that Jehovah has chosen a godly man; The Lord hears when I cry to him.
Tremble, and sin not; Speak in your hearts on your bed, then shut up. -Pause.
Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and trust in the LORD.
Many say, Who will make us see happiness? Bring on us the light of your face, O LORD!
You put in my heart more joy than they have when their wheat and their must abound.
I go to bed and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD! you give me security in my home.
That all the evils spirits directed against me, coming against me acting against me: be bound, go away and come no more against me. That satan be bound when it comes against me, when it acts against me, when it comes against me, when it acts against me, when it acts in my life: let it be bound parte and no longer come against me in the name of Jesus. May the Eternal God, the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit Spirit reprove him drive him away in the name of Jesus.
May the Lord God, the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit Spirit, Creatures Celestials of the Lord, Spirits of the Lord, who are in the service of the Eternal God, the Angels and Archangels of God, the fire of the resurrection power of Jesus Christ destroy the destroyer so that he may stop destroying me, so that he do not destroy me any more, strike prevent those who persecute me to continue to persecute me, in the name of Jesus.
May all things is in my life that does not come from God come out and come back, may the plans of God, the destiny of God for his life are fulfilled in the name of Jesus.
That all altars on which, in which, under which my name is invoked to harm me be:
-reduced by the blood of Jesus
-consumed destroyed by the fire of the Holy Spirit, by the Eternal God, the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit Spirit the Angels and Archangels of God, the fire of the resurrection power of Jesus Christ in the name of Jesus.
-I put the cross of Jesus in the place of the altar
-That the earth vomits what the enemy buried belonging to me
-That holds what belongs to me vomit my things for me
-That the earth and what held my things no longer obfuscates the enemy and the adversary.
May the Lord God, the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit Spirit, Creatures Celestials of the Lord, Spirits of the Lord, who are in the service of the Eternal God, the Angels and Archangels of God, the fire of the resurrection power of Jesus -Christ: restore me, bless me and protect me beyond a hundredfold, That they come hastily to my rescue in the name of Jesus.
-So be it :
Eternal my God, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Amen Amen Amen.
May it be so: Eternal my God (my father) in the name of Jesus. Amen Amen Amen

Welcome to the FPGA Cookbook.
This is part of a new series of handy recipes to solve common FPGA development problems. Look out for more FPGA cookbook posts soon.
You want to initialize memory from a file using Verilog.
It's common for a simulation or firmware to need data loading into a memory array, ram, or rom. Fortunately Verilog provides the
$readmemh and
$readmemb functions for this very purposes. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of good Verilog documentation online, so using them can be harder than it should be. This article explains the syntax and provides plenty of examples, including how to do this in Xilinx Vivado.
Feedback to @WillFlux is most welcome. Last updated February 2018.
Verilog Syntax
Verilog allows you to initialize memory from a text file with either hex or binary values:
$readmemh("hex_memory_file.mem", memory_array, [start_address], [end_address])
$readmemb("bin_memory_file.mem", memory_array, [start_address], [end_address])
Function Arguments
hex_memory_file.mem- a text file containing hex values separated by whitespace (see below)
bin_memory_file.mem- a text file containing binary values separated by whitespace (see below)
memory_array- the name of Verilog memory array of the form:
reg [n:0] memory_array [0:m]
start_address- where in the memory array to start loading data (optional)
end_address- where in the memory array to stop loading data (optional)
The following shows a very simple simulation module using
module readmemh_tb();
reg [7:0] test_memory [0:15];
initial begin
$display("Loading rom.");
$readmemh("rom_image.mem", test_memory);
Memory File Syntax
hex_memory_file.mem or
bin_memory_file.mem consist of text hex/binary values separated by whitespace: space, tab, and newline all work. You can mix the whitespace types in one file. Comments work in the same way as normal Verilog files:
// begins a comment.
The width of a data value in the file mustn't be wider than the data width of the array, otherwise that value will be truncated. In Vivado you'll see a warning in the log "WARNING: Data truncated while reading Datafile:".
Verilog Examples
1) Four 16-bit data values in hex:
reg [15:0] ex1_memory [0:3];
$readmemh("ex1.mem", ex1_memory);
Memory file contents:
2) Sixteen 8-bit data values in hex (mixing spaces and newlines):
reg [7:0] ex2_memory [0:15];
$readmemh("ex2.mem", ex2_memory);
Memory file contents (including comment):
ab cd ef 01 // this is a comment
ef 22 1e 00
9f ff 13 e6
ce b7 28 8f
3) Six 3-bit values in binary:
reg [2:0] ex3_memory [0:5];
$readmemb("ex3.mem", ex3_memory);
Memory file contents:
001 101 111 111 101 001
4) Six 16-bit values in hex starting at array position 4:
reg [15:0] ex4_memory [0:255];
$readmemh("ex4.mem", ex4_memory, 4);
Memory file contents:
dead beef 0a0a 1234 abab 987e
NB. As demonstrated by this example the memory array can have more entries than the data file.
The easy way to get memory files working with Vivado is to give them the
.mem extension then add them to your project. You do this as you would for a design or simulation source using "Add Sources" then selecting "Files of type: Memory Initialization Files". Vivado will automatically identify them as memory files and place them in the current working directory during simulation etc.
If you just reference a file but don't add it to the project you'll get an error of the form:
WARNING: File rom_image.mem referenced on acme.v at line 42 cannot be opened for reading. Please ensure that this file is available in the current working directory.
Once you've added the files to your project they will show up in the Sources view under Design or Simulation Sources:

[Listen] The Vaccines - "Everybody's Gonna Let You Down"
The Vaccines return with a brand new track taken from their upcoming Melody Calling EP. The release will comprise four new tracks, including a remix by producers John Hill and Rich Costey, and will be released on August 12 via download. Today though you can enjoy a slightly different sounding, more mellow, rather sad and reflective song titled "Everybody's Gonna Let You Down". It's definitely a more mature sound from the band. See what you make of it below.

Discover out more about UK higher training (HE) programs and skills, and if they're best for you. An effective administration may have an ongoing strong mechanism to assess the effectiveness of instructing and learning, each of which have direct consequences to retention and commencement rates. Meanwhile, there are 6,seven hundred jobs open for nurses and it appears they're all over the place wanted in Australia. Please anyone suggest the very best location in Australia for IT (Software program Engineer) as I have only State , can anyone please counsel me which state has the better prospects when it comes to Software program Jobs. Most expertise required for many jobs are acquired on the job slightly than in training establishments. Skilled jobs are those who require professional degrees, like legislation, medicine, and so on.
Higher education is still a really risky investment and there are various things to consider other than the increased probabilities of getting a job. Within the 'dump and change' age – many roles requiring technical training have gone. An efficient administration exercises shared-governance in all issues of significance based on teamwork, consultation and open communication—all specializing in a very good measure of transparency. Plainly those that have specific ability sets bring in greater pay checks then folks that are in more generic jobs. On the same time may folks have argued that larger training is just too centered on jobs and has neglected the need for instructing broader points of education.
In 2012 the Universities Act was revised that brought in regards to the break down of how universities are governed. This category refers to the prevailing financial situation and how it results in a chance or risk for a given business or group (MBA Increase). As an illustration, it's going to set aside a portion of its annual budget within the type of deferred maintenance, among others, to upkeep its facilities and services. Such involvement tends to have the adverse impact of limiting efficient consultation and participation in resolution-making by the various structures of university administration and members of the college neighborhood.
There are so many jobs in Perth, you can be no matter you want to be. $1000 per week is customary for many labourer jobs and if you get your tickets for machines corresponding to bobcat, excavator, loader or forklift, the money will rise substantially!
While it's unrealistic to suppose that any conventional school will fully transfer to a client-driven mannequin of upper training rather than a provider-pushed model, it's lifelike for the more traditional brick and mortar" schools to expand their online presence within the new world of virtual learning.

Um, what the heck happened to February. Usually this is the longest month for me and it drags like a dragging thing. But it has zipped by (Flowed by, perhaps, to maintain the alliteration) and ends tonight. Sheesh.
I blame the few sunny days that we had this month. Normally Feb is gray and bleak and rainy and icy. But we had several sunny days and even some snow. Today we had a 2-hour delay, which was wonderful since it was Parent/Teacher conferences which means we're there until 7pm (or later for some teachers). I even got to meet two of my students' mums tonight.
As you can see, I didn't post at all in February, until today. Mom even e-mailed me wondering if I was going to let an entire month go by uncommented upon in this journal. I had decided on my walk home tonight that I would finally post. And here goes!
I'd like to promise that I'll be more vocal during March, but I dunno if I will. I guess we'll find out on the 31st!

The latest update of Idea Growr includes includes the option to add 8 questions of your own.
In the update I also removed the question pack for movies. It was the least used question pack, also I had the feeling the questions did not have the right quality to them.
A bit of a drop in the ratings
The rating of the app has went down from 4.6 to 4.2 since the question packs update.
There are a number of possible reasons for this:
- More ambitious, thus less complete
- The question pack update shows users what else could be possible. While the app used to be complete in what it wanted to be, after the q-packs update users can feel they are missing out on some questions and other features.
- Q-packs quality
- The questions are not good enough. While I did not have any feedback that indicates this, it's my own feeling that the movies questions where not good enough.
- Bug(s) on All Ideas list
- The app has a little bit of trouble with the all ideas list. I use some code (async) that crashes the app for a couple of users every day. In the latest update (1.36) I think I've fixed the biggest problem that caused these crashes.
- The most negative review keeps showing up on the top of the list
- With the update of the question packs, there where some problems. This left about half of the users with a broken app for about 2 days. I adviced users who just installed the app to do a re-install as a quick fix. One user who had the app for quite some time did a re-install and lost all his ideas and wrote a review stating 'lost all ideas'. I should have been more clear in how I stated my advice, but he was probably the only users ever to have lost is data. But for some reason Google Play keeps putting is 'Lost all data' review on the top of the list. That can't be good for reviews and downloads..
- Speed of updates went down.
- Maybe it's just that the speed of innovation went down. On the one hand this is because I started to work for Jungle Minds. On the other hand this is because the features people would like to see (sync between devices) are more complex and sometimes just too difficult for me to develop on my own.
While I haven't figured it out completely, still I have tried to combat some of these problems.
- By enabling users to add 8 questions of their own, it feels less restricted
- Removing the movies question pack
- Fixing bugs for the all ideas page.
Why users can only add 8 questions
The way I did the update I did not need to change the datase, I just re-used the space the 8 movie questions had. Users that used the movie questions have kept these questions, but can now change them in the settings. Doing it this way made it easier for me to do the update and test out the feature.
Limited number of questions as a business model
Pehaps it can be interesting to use this as a business model. You can add unlimited ideas and notes, but change only 8 questions. Pay for the option to add another X questions.
Then the app can show a list of as many questions I can gather (crowdsource) as possible and offer then inside the app as inspiration.
What do you think?
Also If you are an android developer who can help out with the development of the app, let me know!
