How To Add Images To Your Web Pages!
By now you know enough to write a very nice, text-based home page, but it is the ability of the Web to provide pictures, technically called images, graphics, or sometimes icons, that has made it so popular. In this Primer, you'll learn how place an image on your page and also how to turn an image into a link to another page.
Placing An Image On Your Page
The command to place an image is constant. You will use the same format every time. Now might be a good time to talk about where to store everything on your web server because you're starting to call for additional items to fill up your home page. Until now, all you did was put text on the page. Now you're going to place an image.
At this point in your HTML career, it's a good idea for you to place whatever images you are going to use in a subdirectory called "images". That means place the image in a directory (to be called "images") under the directory where your web pages are located (which would be the "root" directory for your site). There's more on that coming up in Primer #7.
Here's the format for placing an image:

Ring Cycle, Last Act
We exchanged the rings in 1983, in my parents' Conncticut living room, during a winter storm so outrageous that my whimsical mother chilled the champagne in a snow drift behind the house.
Unusual rings. On the inside, next to the skin, the classic smooth circle. On the outside, to meet the eye, an octagon-eight shiny edges joined at forty-five degree angles.
Standing at the counter of a jewelry shop in Greenwich Village, my intended and I had instantly agreed that these were the bands for us, beautiful and propitious. Only recently he'd drawn the symbol for infinity on a cocktail napkin (he's a mathematician, never without a pen), and I'd observed that it looked like a skinny eight lying on its side. It had taken us forever to find each other, but we would be together for the rest of forever.
So I was surprised-rocked to my socks-the other day, when I noticed the absence of gold on his ring finger.
For nineteen and a half years, neither of us had taken off our wedding bands. Not during prep for surgeries (when they practically try to get you to remove your toenails), or our foolish flirtations with others, or even during a trial separation a decade earlier. I didn't think we could slip them off if we tried. I'm a pastry chef who loves to practice on the family. Like the witch in the Hansel and Gretel story, I was guilty of fattening up our fingers, among other body parts.
"You took off your ring!" I blurted
"Yeah," he said sheepishly. "About a week and a half ago."
"Well, I've lost some weight," he said--a bit smugly, to my ears. Then he offered a rueful smile and added, "I used soap. Lots and lots of soap."
He rubbed the place where the ring had been. The crease looked like a wound, deep and painful. I felt an ancient maternal urge to kiss it. But then he said something about how the finger was getting better, and my urge was to bite.
I glanced down at my own ring. The world seemed out of balance. I felt has if I'd been caught wearing last year's shoes. I was just plain hurt.
Surprised? Hurt? The rational mind mocked the bleeding heart.
We are divorcing. We sleep under separate roofs. We communicate by Email, increasingly terse. We each have a therapist, a lawyer. We've divided our CDs--a task that was sadly easy, music being one of many areas of profound disharmony (Oh, but thank you for Dvorak and Chuck Brodsky's baseball songs.). We were only meeting, this particular afternoon, to help our son plan his summer. Our rings had outlived their meaning.
When I got home, I made a half-hearted attempt to remove mine. Lots and lots of soap didn't do it.
No matter the rational mind. I was only relieved. It seemed so wrong, this furtive act at the bathroom sink.
It was time for the ring to go, but not without ceremony.
I wanted a Gershwin tune. I needed a blessing from the judge who had married us in secular language and then invoked divine protection for our union. I wanted my dead parents' permission. I imagined the best man pocketing the rings and hopping back on the bus that had gotten snowbound in the next town and my father had to rescue him.
Mostly, I craved symmetry. We had put those rings on each other's fingers, and we should have taken them off each other's fingers, laughing and crying as we struggled to dislodge the time-scarred gold. Then my band to him and his to me, souvenirs of the hope that had been. A sip of champagne for the road, a slice of unwedding cake-bittersweet chocolate, but of course. One last soft kiss.
The next day, I felt less sentimental. (Another Email disagreement.) I was in the kitchen, about to make an omelette, and it occurred to me that butter might work where soap had failed. I scooped up a gob, slathered it over the ring, twisted and tugged. Ouch.
I distracted myself from the pain by thinking how annoyed my husband would be that I was using organic butter, $5.95 a pound. And just like that the band was off my finger, sitting in the palm of my right hand.
I rubbed the dent, the shadow of the ring, and wondered how quickly it would disappear--or would there be a permanent scar?
Permanent, forever, infinite. Beguiling words for mortal folk.
Most of the math lessons flew over my head, but one concept stuck: that there are greater and less infinities. Don't ask me for the proof. I just know it's true.
Our marriage turned out to be a lesser infinity, octagons notwithstanding. Two amazing children notwithstanding.
I tossed the ring into a saucer, washed and dried my hands, and started breaking eggs for the omelette.Nancy Weber is an American writer known primarily for her non-fiction work, The Life Swap (1974; re-issued 2006).

Here are the sobering facts:
n NASA plans only seven more shuttle launches before shelving the shuttle program in 2010. Astronauts will travel to the international space station via Russian-made spacecraft.
n NASA will run out of funding for the space station by 2015.
n Goals to return to the moon by 2020 and ultimately manned flights to Mars likely won't be met because of NASA's budget and technology limitations, according to two members of the Human Space Flight Plans Committee.
That 10-member committee, chaired by retired aerospace executive Norman Augustine and whose members include former astronaut Sally Ride, last week publicly delivered its diagnosis on NASA's ailing manned space flight program. Now the problem lands in the lap of President Barack Obama, who faces a far different set of challenge than President John Kennedy did in the early 1960s.
Only eight years elapsed between Kennedy's 1961 "Man on the Moon" address, a speech that inspired a nation and propelled NASA to put men on the moon on July 20, 1969.
But NASA's funding then represented nearly 3 percent of the federal budget compared with today's $18 billion funding, which represents less than 1 percent of the federal budget.
Obama will have to do far more than inspire a nation with words. He leads a country of people seemingly disenchanted and less enthralled by the challenges and dangers of manned space flight. Yet Americans benefit daily from the inventions and technology created for space missions.
There is a case to be made for human space flight. But the burdens of cost and extraordinary technology no longer can be borne solely by taxpayers, who rightfully have questioned NASA decision-making.
The agency's manned flight program needs an infusion of money - both public and private - and heavy doses of ingenuity and creative genius. Without those elements, NASA will be unable to do anything "terribly inspiring," Augustine noted last week.
The race is on, and America's space program needs to pull away from the pack.

Thumb sucking - A common oral activity
One of the most common oral activities of the young child is thumb and finger sucking. Sucking habits are perfectly normal in infancy and can be ignored at this stage.Thumb sucking that discontinues by age 3-4 years produces no permanent displacement of the teeth. If it continues beyond the age of 6-7 years, once the permanent incisors (front teeth) erupt, it can then cause an abnormal bite.
The type of bite which can develop is called an 'openbite'. This is where the top and bottom teeth do not bite together and the front teeth are protruded (pushed forward).Some children suck their thumb when they are tired, watching TV, bored, or stressed. Usually the sucking stops once school is started where peer pressure helps reduce this habit.StressOccasionally, the thumb sucking habit may start at an older age. In this case, changes in circumstances - stress at home, moving locations or changing schools can be initiating factors. Addressing these factors directly will reduce the habit.
Thumb sucking - some tips
o Often simple encouragement and explanation of the effect of thumb sucking on the teeth will help for older children. The child's own desire to break the habit means they react positively to such encouragement. The explanation sometimes is taken better when it comes from someone else eg: dentist or GP.
o Try to ignore the sucking habit and not draw attention to it; instead praise your child when they are not thumb sucking. Daily reward charts can be drawn, where points are given when they are not sucking to reinforce positive behaviour. Once points reach a certain amount a treat (preferably, sugar-free may be offered.
o Placing a distasteful solution on the nails to help keep the thumb/finger out of the mouth - such as anti-nail biting nail polish. This is effective for some children where the habit is not firmly entrenched.
Adhesive tapeA simple way to control the habit is placing adhesive tape or bandaid to the thumb or finger. This helps change the sensation of the finger enough to call the child's attention to the fact that it is being placed in the mouth.
Even more effective ...An even more effective way is to tape the thumb and hand together during times when thumbsucking is likely to occur (ie: watching TV).
Thumbsucking is subconcious
When all else fails and the teeth are being pushed out significantly a simple orthodontic plate can be made which is made to fit securely in the mouth to act as a reminder of the habit. This is important because in many instances thumb and finger sucking habits are at the subconscious level of the child's attention. Sometimes even though the child wants to stop the habit, they may find it difficult to do so unless they are made aware of it. The plate is kept in the mouth until the habit stops and for three months after.
If the bite is severely affected by the habit, braces are needed when the child is older (around age 11-12 years).

Greed! Soon the Chinese will enter the market with knock off's of the classic cartridges. When double blind tests are conducted, anything above $500 tends to be beat by the under $500 price point. Experience, like fifty years of it in the hi end, confirms there is no collation between price and better sound. A last point, set up and the arm tend to rule. I've heard $3K cartridges improperly set up by 'experts' and still the owner raved how better it sounded, until the set up was corrected.
What makes a high $$$ cartridge high $$$?
From what I can tell, not through my own experience yet, there is consensus that going up the price ladder with cartridges pays performance dividends. The range of prices is pretty wide and I am curious what is the central issue in driving cart prices. Is it research and development technology, materials, production costs, market dynamics (luxury pricing), brand value extraction, etc. Maybe it is the same as with amps, speakers, etc., but somehow carts seem different.
Where does the price/performance curve start to flatten $500, $1K, $2K ?

He will bring down fire from the heavens! Or just run away.
Brave Sir Dumbfuck ran away, bravely ran away away...
This far along and DUMBFUCK *still* doesn't know what the alt-right is. HINT: It ain't conservatives, DUMBFUCK. You see, "alt" is short for "alternative" thus the "alt-right" is an alternative to the right. Also, not the right, because alternative.
You could probably Google all this if you weren't so terminally stupid.
I guarantee that you are more in line with the alt-right than a true conservative, Shakes.
As demonstrated by your blatant racism.
I am going to thoroughly enjoy the day when Fatfuck mouths off his racist bullshit to the wrong person...
Hope he kept the "Mobile Command Center."
He might ACTUALLY need it.
Unfortunately, his incredible stupidity isn't terminal -- yet. He may still mess with the wrong person. Especially if he's hanging out in the Flying J truck parking lot.
I dunno. I suspect his ass could cover just about any check you could find. Even those over-sized Publisher's Clearing House novelty checks.
Not that you'd want the checks back after they'd been covered by his ass...
Interesting that for someone who is such a Hillary loving, the-government-is-my-mommy liberty curbing democrat, he never moves to California, Washington, New York or other hardcore blue states. Why is that?
Is it because his Spanish is nonexistent?
Is it because the rules he espouses would actually have to apply to him as well?
Is it because the cost of living is so high in those states thanks to their fiscal policies that he just cant live on his grifted disability benefit?
Is it because he has higher personal safety due to relaxed laws on guns to protect yourself in states like Texas?
Or is it he is thinks he has finally moved to a state where he can convince a judge that butthurt is a tort??
I know, embrace the power.
"Go ahead. Make my day."
The gauntlet has been thrown down!
And Sir John will pick it up, and in his own time he will bitch slap and curb stomp this Fat Fuck piece of shit.
And we will be there to watch and PLM
Hooray for the Good Guys!!
Texas has a Feral Pig population. With Bill visiting, it just got worse.
Hmmmm... What does Texas allow regarding their feral pig population?
In Texas we have an open season of feral hogs. All you need is a hunting licence. In fact ranchers and farmers will pay you to eradicate these pests.
Beware Bwilly, don't visit Texas!
Given that he's all ass and appears to go about 250 pounds that must be some big doggone check he can't cover.

The First Amendment protects "the freedom of speech." It does not protect only one side of the debate. It is does not protect only polite or politically correct speech. It does not protect only popular speech.
The core values of the Marion B. Brechner First Amendment Protect thus pivot on:
"[There is] a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials."
New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964).
"It is the purpose of the First Amendment to preserve an uninhibited marketplace of ideas in which truth will ultimately prevail, rather than to countenance monopolization of that market, whether it be by the Government itself or a private licensee."
Red Lion Broadcasting Co., Inc. v. FCC, 395 U.S. 367 (1969).
"If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable."
Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397, 414 (1989).
"[It is] often true that one man's vulgarity is another's lyric. Indeed, we think it is largely because governmental officials cannot make principled distinctions in this area that the Constitution leaves matters of taste and style so largely to the individual."
Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15, 25 (1971).
"The college classroom with its surrounding environs is peculiarly the marketplace of ideas."
Healy v. James, 408 U.S. 169, 180 (1972).
"The right of freedom of speech and press includes not only the right to utter or to print, but the right to distribute, the right to receive, the right to read . . . and freedom of inquiry, freedom of thought, and freedom to teach – indeed the freedom of the entire university community."
Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479, 482 (1965).

Making In-Store Wellness Programs BetterJanuary 8, 2017
Most food retailers have some sort of health-and-wellness program in place, but as consumer interest in clean labels, nutritious eating and healthy lifestyles increases, grocers' current offerings may not be enough.
A responsive, dynamic approach to health and wellness is crucial for grocers. As Karleigh Jurek, corporate dietitian for Lubbock, Texas-based United Supermarkets, observes: "A well-established health-and-wellness team can be beneficial for retailers by providing a needed service that resonates with today's guests that could promote stronger loyalty from these shoppers and ultimately increase sales."
Citing "several educated assumptions" from her organization's Health and Wellness Council, Susan Borra, chief wellness officer at the Arlington, Va.-based Food Marketing Institute (FMI), executive director of the FMI Foundation and a registered dietitian (RD) herself, affirms that "consumer values around health and wellness will continue to grow in importance and continue to be a key purchase driver. Riding the trend for consumer-centered health care, more customers than ever before are looking for health care options, and the neighborhood grocery store has the ability to fulfill this need and serve as a wellness advisor."
In terms of products, Carl Jorgensen, director, global thought leadership-wellness at Stamford, Conn.-based Daymon, points out that "health and wellness is the fastest-growing trend at retail. Natural and organic sales are projected to grow 11 percent annually through 2020. Retailers are seeing the opportunity for their private brands to offer consumers a less-expensive entry point to health-and-wellness products."
So, what can grocers do to address consumers' evolving needs?
First, they need to realize that there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Elisabeth D'Alto Jalkiewicz, supermarket/retail subgroup chair of the Food and Culinary Professionals dietetic practice group at the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, in Chicago, urges retail dietitians to "learn about your associates, your customers and the community you are serving. I think it's important to not generalize that all retail dietitians should be taking the same cookie-cutter approach. Depending on things like your geographic region or your primary shopper, you have to tailor programs to meet those specific needs."
St. Cloud, Minn.-based Coborn's is already on board with this directive. "We are focused on meeting our communities where they are at," notes Amy Peick, who oversees the Midwest grocer's health-and-wellness program. "Our communities have both similarities as well as differences. Each of them has different needs and expresses their interest in different areas of wellness. Our supermarket dietitians in the store have the capability to be flexible with events and activities that are offered to our guests." (For more about Coborn's, see PG's Store of the Month feature.)
This program customization should extend to the various demographics served by supermarkets. "In recent years, a major topic of discussion is the rise of Millennials as consumers, and how best to reach this group while still resonating with older age groups," says United's Jurek. "This will continue to grow and develop, especially with Generation Z beginning to reach adulthood. Health-and-wellness teams will need to continue to adapt the messaging to methods that appeal to these different groups."
Additionally, when publicizing their health-and-wellness offerings, retailers should directly address convenience. "The key is to really resonate with consumers' needs by targeting your promotions or merchandising efforts to provide meal solutions like quick weeknight dinners, one-pot meals or top-10 pantry staples," suggests Jalkiewicz.
Accordingly, Coborn's is touting the convenience of a new feature in its newest locations. "As we follow trends within health and wellness, we see that individuals are searching for convenience," says Peick. "However, we are finding that many of them still want to be engaged in a simple form of the overall cooking process. From these trends we have implemented a Chop Shoppe in our next-generation stores. The Chop Shoppe is the spot where we chop your fresh produce however you'd like it. This is extremely convenient for our shoppers to increase their consumption of fruits and vegetables without having to take the time to prepare them."
There's also the issue of visibility. "It's both difficult and expensive for dietitians to be personally on the floor at all times," notes Jorgensen. "However, they can be visible in other ways, such as through at-shelf communications like 'Our dietitian recommends' and 'Did you know?' signage." He additionally advises that dietitians offer store tours for customers, incorporate access to their services into telephone and online customer service offerings, and work hand-in-hand with store pharmacists to better connect grocery and pharmacy.
Partners in Health
As Jorgensen indicates, health-and-wellness programs enable retailers to engage with customers beyond the food aisles. Jalkiewicz also urges in-store dietitians and pharmacists to work together more.
"Building an excellent referral system between dietitians and pharmacists is a great way to grow your one-on-one consultations with customers, and also for dietitians to refer customers back to the pharmacist if they have questions regarding medications," she explains. "Dietitians and pharmacists can also team up during health screenings in the store and in the community."
"Drug interactions, diet regimens and supplements are all areas of the store where the pharmacist can help guide the shopper and work more strategically with the supermarket RD to positively influence their shoppers' lifestyles," notes Borra. "There are excellent opportunities for pharmacists and dietitians to help patients with their diet questions and treatment needs."
Pharmacists can boost their visibility through at-shelf communications similar to those suggested for dietitians, Jorgensen observes, as well as offer private-brand precision wellness services. "Pharmacists can make personalized dietary and lifestyle recommendations based on data from wearable activity trackers, DNA test kits, blood biomarkers and microbiome analysis," he says. "This is also an opportunity for retail dietitians."
The idea is that "the dietitian can perform the role of the pharmacist's extension throughout the store," asserts Jorgensen. "Daymon believes that bringing pharmacy and grocery together is one of the most compelling opportunities for retail in the next few years."
He further advises that category managers and merchandisers also get involved in health-and-wellness programs "to get dietitian- and pharmacist-recommended products and communications in front of shoppers," and that "training of store employees by pharmacists and dietitians will help activate health-and-wellness programs across the store."
Change Agents
Meanwhile, in the retail trenches, many supermarket health-and-wellness programs are perpetually being refined to better meet consumers' needs.
"As we see an increase in demand for health-and-wellness resources, Coborn's plans to expand the dietitian program," notes Peick. "This would include hiring additional RDs, building more next-generation stores with continued emphasis on fresh departments around the perimeter of the store, and healthier options in convenient foods and ready-made meals."
Coborn's "continually expanding" program features three RDs, each covering a different region of stores, who network with local businesses and organizations, along with offering such services as store tours, personal consults, lunch and learns, classes, and nutrition education presentations and events. Other health-and-wellness efforts at the grocer include the NuVal nutrition guidance system, healthy checkstands selling only Dietitian's Choice items, and free fruit available in the produce department for kids to snack on.
"We will be [further] implementing our Dietitian's Choice program in our stores by having shelf tags on all of those items," says Peick. "With the trends [of] looking for healthier convenience food items, we will potentially add more healthy checklanes [and] more Dietitian's Choice items in fresh departments, as well as develop programs for kids that focus on healthy eating, physical activity and an overall healthy lifestyle." Coborn's additionally plans "to expand on corporate wellness initiatives and healthier break-room options," she continues, further noting the "many opportunities to be innovative with our fresh departments."
To get the word out about its program, Coborn's uses such channels as social media outreach, radio shows, TV segments, blogs, newsletters, brochures, handouts and recipes, according to Peick.
When it comes to communication, spurring greater digital engagement is key. "In the future, we hope to continue to grow our media presence as well as developing a voice on different digital platforms through social media outlets, blog posts and online videos," says Jurek, of United, whose current health-and-wellness initiative consists of three full-time registered dietitians and nine contract dietitians providing such services as store tours and themed media segments across various outlets; Health Tags, which quickly identify at the shelf those foods that are beneficial to specific health conditions and dietary preferences; and Dietitian's Top Pick items.
"Our team also hopes to see more point-of-sale advertising through digital messaging found directly in the stores," adds Jurek. "We hope this will helps us create more interaction with our guests and engage them with our health-and-wellness team."
Jalkiewicz predicts even more activity in cyberspace. "I think we may see more health-and-wellness efforts integrated into the online shopping programs for many retailers," she says. "If customers are using a delivery system to order groceries through the retailer, and not stepping foot in the store, those are missed opportunities for dietitians to have an impact and educate those customers on their health-and-wellness needs." Again, Coborn's has begun to move into this space with its To The Table meal kits, available through the CobornsDelivers delivery service. The kit, according to Peick "contains a recipe with everything needed to cook a quick and easy meal in your own home."
Through such endeavors to adjust their programs to shifting consumer demands, Jurek believes that "health-and-wellness teams have a very unique opportunity to help differentiate [their companies] from other competitors in the industry."

Health and Tech
Retailers are just starting to take advantage of innovative technologies in designing and promoting their health-and-wellness programs.
"Technologies such as mobile, augmented reality and virtual reality are key to high-impact health-and-wellness merchandising," says Carl Jorgensen, director, global thought leadership at Stamford, Conn.-based Daymon, citing Whole Foods Market's Whole Body Mirror, which, he notes, "attracts shoppers with a playful look at their 'aura,' and then suggests a related health product."
Beyond the supermarket channel, Jorgensen points to Rite Aid's in-store tablet, which guides customers through a process to find the right supplement for their needs, and Walgreens' private-brand Well at Walgreens activity tracker, a wearable fitness monitor that directly competes with such well-known brands as Fitbit, Garmin and Jawbone. "It is the first private-brand activity-tracking wearable," notes Jorgensen. "The tracker also syncs with the Walgreens Balance Rewards app for smartphones and the Apple Watch, and awards participants points for logging weight, tracking blood pressure and glucose levels, and fitness activities."
For her part, Karleigh Jurek, corporate dietitian with Lubbock, Texas-based United Supermarkets, affirms that "with the development of new technologies, the health-and-wellness field will see unique methods arise to help relay related messages. New technologies, and how these teams choose to use them, will be an area of major change."

Article 50 is yet to be triggered and the EU already looks like it wants to play hardball by landing the UK with a £50-60bn bill for services as yet unquantified.
"a populist anti-establishment feeling sweeping the globe"
Hopes of a 'soft' Brexit appear to be increasingly unattainable with the current outlook, but it really is anybody's guess at the moment, especially with elections in France and Germany this year.
With a populist anti-establishment feeling sweeping the globe, Italy and France may well see a real change in the political scene. Even if, as seems likely, Le Pen does not triumph in France, there will be a noticeable swing to the Right. In addition, the business world is waiting to see what a Trump administration will be like.
On a more local level, the changes to Stamp Duty Land Tax for buy-to-let as well as the forthcoming income tax relief changes for landlords are likely to have a continuing impact on the buy-to-let market, affecting both long and short-term mortgage lending. The Treasury, Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) may yet introduce further changes, but I hope that they will wait long enough to really see the effects of the existing measures before implementing new ones.
"the FCA will have enough on its hands"
While there is always talk of further regulation, unless there is a major incident in one of the financial sectors I think the FCA will have enough on its hands with its newly announced review into advice and competition. On a wider level, the issue that is not really discussed but which I believe is of the most concern is the level of indebtedness – both for individuals and the country as a whole. This level is unsustainable and will have consequences for everyone sooner or later.
It is uncertainty that is likely to have the biggest impact on the mortgage and bridging markets next year. People often put off making big financial decisions if they feel uncertain about what the future may hold.
"change has become the new constant"
To end on a positive note, in many ways change has become the new constant and, as a result, an increasing number of people will continue to get on with their lives and their businesses. The value of bridging loans written in the year ended 30 September was up by 15% over the previous year. So while I expect individual quarters this year to fluctuate, I expect bridging lending as a whole to continue to rise across 2017, although at a slower pace than it has done in the past.

One can hardly fathom the twisted psyche of a president who, after acknowledging that Jamal Khashoggi, a contributing columnist for The Post's Global Opinions, had likely been murdered, would go before a cheering mob to lavish praise on a U.S. congressman who physically attacked a journalist. "Any guy who can do a body-slam, he's my kind of — he's my guy," Trump said in a Montana campaign appearance on Thursday, referring to Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.) who pleaded guilty to assaulting the Guardian's reporter Ben Jacobs, who had the temerity to ask Gianforte a health-care question. "I had heard that he body-slammed a reporter. And he was way up. … I said 'Oh this is terrible, he's gonna lose the election,' " Trump continued. "Then I said, 'Well, wait a minute, I know Montana pretty well, I think it might help him.' And it did." And his ghoulish fans ate that up.
The Guardian's U.S. editor responded with a statement: "To celebrate an attack on a journalist who was simply doing his job is an attack on the First Amendment by someone who has taken an oath to defend it," said John Mulholland. "In the aftermath of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, it runs the risk of inviting other assaults on journalists both here and across the world where they often face far greater threats. We hope decent people will denounce these comments and that the president will see fit to apologize for them."
Trump won't apologize, of course, nor will his devoted base hold his remarks against him. To the contrary, this is what they love about him — the contempt for a free press, the celebration of male thuggishness, the mindless emotional outbursts. Somehow it empowers them, to side with brutes and bullies, to revel in the silencing of a free press.
And in case you thought such moral depravity was limited to a few thousand fans, a concerted smear campaign against Khashoggi is underway. The Post reports:
In recent days, a cadre of conservative House Republicans allied with Trump has been privately exchanging articles from right-wing outlets that fuel suspicion of Khashoggi, highlighting his association with the Muslim Brotherhood in his youth and raising conspiratorial questions about his work decades ago as an embedded reporter covering Osama bin Laden, according to four GOP officials involved in the discussions who were not authorized to speak publicly. …
While Khashoggi was once sympathetic to Islamist movements, he moved toward a more liberal, secular point of view, according to experts on the Middle East who have tracked his career. Khashoggi knew bin Laden in the 1980s and 1990s during the civil war in Afghanistan, but his interactions with bin Laden were as a journalist with a point of view who was working with a prized source.
Some claimed that Khashoggi, who had worked for multiple news organizations over the years and was allegedly slaughtered for his writings critical of the Saudi regime, was not a real journalist. The willful dissembling takes one's breath away. The Post's editorial board recently recounted, "[Khashoggi] was twice fired as the editor of the most progressive Saudi newspaper, Al Watan, in one case for publishing sharp critiques of Islamist extremists. A television news network he helped to found in Bahrain in 2012 was taken off the air after one day, after it broadcast an interview with a critic of that country's authoritarian regime."
The whisper campaign comes not only from the fever swamps and usual talk radio know-nothings, but also from those who fancy themselves as foreign policy sophisticates at the forefront of efforts to counter Iran's nuclear ambitions and regional aggression. It is hard to know if this is water-carrying for the administration, panic over disruption to the administration's already incoherent Iran policy or hatred of the mainstream media.
Whatever the impetus, the lack of decency on display — the willingness to defame a reportedly tortured, murdered and dismembered journalist to deflect blame from a brutal regime that snookered both the U.S. and Israeli governments into adopting it as the key bulwark against Iran — should disgust people of good will, whatever their political or foreign policy views. Proximity to and reverential treatment of an amoral, congenital liar in the White House have disabled the intellectual and moral reasoning powers of many previously respectable Republicans.
Whatever the cause, if you are falsely smearing a missing man, trying to diminish the horror of a thuggish regime's alleged gruesome murder or yukking it up with a president celebrating violence against a reporter, it's time to rethink your politics.

Z Energy will install six rapid-charge electric vehicle charging stations at sites in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, starting with the first launch in Wellington on 24 March.
Z Energy's Sustainability Manager Gerri Ward says the charging stations are being introduced due to public support for Z as an "innovative transport solutions company rather than a traditional fuel company".
"There is a consumer expectation that Z should step up and be the one to provide public electric charging infrastructure," says Gerri. "We think that's a really positive indication that people are relating to Z in the way we'd want – as a sustainable transport fuels provider rather than a traditional fuel company."
The rapid charging stations will cut charge times down to 10 minutes (only three minutes more than the average Z service time for a standard fuel vehicle), making them twice as fast as an ordinary charging station which takes up to 20 minutes.
Gerri says that the charge stations will tend more towards giving drivers a boost to get them where they need to go instead of being used for a full charge."We've chosen rapid chargers because if you're out and about in an electric vehicle and you get stuck, you're most probably just going to be looking for a quick charge-up to get you back home."
Leading the industry, says Gerri, has come with no risk but a strong reputational reward.
"Electric vehicle charging stations aren't a commercial proposition for us and they never will be. We're happy to see our infrastructure suppliers, Charge Net, leading in this space, and they'll be providing the back-end charging and support infrastructure."
The critical move for Z is that charging infrastructure meets consumer expectation, making the future proofing of the business two-fold: consumers with electric vehicles can charge at Z and Z reinforces its reputation for sustainability leadership.
Electric charging infrastructure is only part of Z's overarching sustainability plan (which also includes biofuels and a plethora of initiatives at every service station, such as LED lights, reducing waste to landfill by 65 per cent, and recycling carwash water) and Gerri says there is potential to scale the output of rapid charging points as demand increases.

To Charles Maclaren1 [c. February 1843]2
Dear Sir
PS. Wd you be so kind sometime to return me this, as I shd be very sorry to be without a copy
This note is written in pencil on CD's annotated copy of a pamphlet reprint of Maclaren's review of Coral reefs in the Scotsman (Maclaren 1842). CD's annotations, which appear to be addressed to the author, generally suggest some restatements of the text, e.g., 'frequently' for 'occasionally'; 'nearly' and 'in most cases', where the text has no qualification. Where Maclaren had stated that the word 'atoll' is 'borrowed from the South Sea Islanders', CD has written 'No! inhabitants of the coral-islands in the ['middle of the' del] Indian Ocean.' Where Maclaren had cited the case of 20 atolls forming 'one vast atoll … with a lagoon in the interior of unfathomable depth', CD has written, 'probably not correct, ['or' del] not quite justifiable; too bold', and added, 'I have thrown out as mere speculation that these atolls have originated by the subsidence of ['a reef' del], one great isld. but it [above del 'there'] is rather [above del 'no trace'] too bold to call the space between the two rows of atolls a lagoon'. Maclaren's paragraph describing fringing reefs was deleted by CD and, on a separate piece of paper (DAR 69: 54), CD suggested it be replaced by: "Fringing reefs" resemble barrier reefs except in being of less dimensions; where the adjoining sea is deep, they extend a very little distance from the shore, & have no interior lagoon channel; where the sea is shallow, they extend further, & they then have an interior lagoon channel, but this is never of considerable depth, namely above four fathoms & very seldom above two fathoms. Finally, where Maclaren has characterised volcanoes as 'agents of elevation', CD has written, 'Is it not more probable, that Volcanos are one of the effects of some primary cau[se]?— Remember Scandinavian elevation. I send you a copy of a paper of mine, wh. bears on this subject.—' This last probably refers to 'On the connexion of certain volcanic phenomena', Collected papers 1: 53–86, which concludes that volcanoes and mountain-chains are secondary effects of 'one great motive power' (p. 80).
Dated on the assumption that the postscript and annotations (described in n. 1, above) were written after publication of Maclaren 1843, since CD's annotations contain some factual corrections that Maclaren would probably have included in his version for the Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal had he received them before publication.
[Written on CD's annotated copy of a pamphlet reprint of CM's review of Coral reefs.] CD asks CM to return the pamphlet to him.

Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Why? I will study this dumb deal!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 2, 2017
President Trump on Wednesday slammed Obama's "dumb" refugee deal with Australia.
Trump also reportedly had a heated exchange with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull this week about the order, which directs the U.S. to accept refugees from Australia. In an interview, however, Turnbull said the conversation wasn't as fiery as some have made it seem.
"As far as the nature of the discussion, it was very frank and forthright," Turnbull said. "I stand up for Australia's interests. I make Australia's case as powerfully and as persuasively as I possibly can, wherever I am."

Trump's exchange with Australia is the latest to put the U.S. and one of its allies on shaky ground.
He recently had an interesting phone conversation with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. The two have gone back and forth in recent months over who will (or won't) pay for Trump's proposed wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

"Seattle's Second Chance Shelter smelled of damp fur and dog breath. Frantic barks and whines pierced the air and assaulted Anna's ears. She shrank back from the desperation that hung in the air like mist. All the sad eyes begging for a home. The furry foreheads rumpled with anxiety. Anna's tender heart slid to her feet.
'We shouldn't have come here,' she shouted to her boyfriend, Jeff.
'You wanted to check out the dogs,' he said.
Anna was clutching the Second Chance flyer she'd found that morning on Jeff's windshield. Coming here had seemed the best way to goad themselves into action after weeks of talk about adopting a dog. But now, engulfed by the dogs' distress, Anna wasn't so sure.
'We could have looked for a dog on Petfinder,' she said. In their rented condo, they could have studied photos on the computer screen.
'You can tell a lot more of you see a dog in person,' Jeff said.
'Yes, but I want to take all these dogs home.'
'We can only afford to care for one.'"
This week's featured breed is the Pug! The adorable little dog with the wrinkled face, and loud snorting has captured our hearts time and time again. They are such playful and loving canine companions, and if you chat with any Pug owner, they will have endless cute photos of their precious pooch and happily tell you how wonderful the breed is. We are lucky enough to walk a few Pugs every day! We want to feature a brother and sister pair: Mason and Dixie!
"Dixie is bursting with pug love. She's a friendly, patient pug and just wants to climb on you and give you kisses on your nose. She's a snuggle bug, and will always be the one leading the pack and racing her way back home from her walk.
Mason is a feisty, bold pug with the most inquisitive expressions and a huge pug smile. Every day he comes charging at the door, only to turn around, go grab a toy, and then run right back.
They both LIVE for their peanut butter biscuits."
-Hillary, Local Territory Manager
We have more pictures to share and an informative video about the amazing Pugs! Also, check out a cute video we have of Mason and Dixie via our Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/hshpetcare/
"Our dog has special needs, the greatest being the need for a lobotomy. After that, he could use a good dose of Prozac. Add some Ritalin and he'd approach the vague semblance of a well-adjusted canine. Feels almost doable.
Except for his tail of freakish accidents and half-baked suicide attempts.
Sometimes I think Henry—that's the dog—had ended up in a different family, we'd all be better off. Some combinations just don't mix. Take Mentos candy and diet cola. Put them together, and you get a carbonated geyser blowing your bottle cap.
Pets are supposed to be fun. A pleasant enrichment of your life. Dogs especially. Loving, loyal, sleeping by your feet.
I don't believe in divine misprints. But life with Henry makes me wonder."
Surviving Henry: Adventures in Loving a Canine Catastrophe by Erin Taylor Young is a story that will have you laughing constantly. This amazingly touching story about all the mishaps, accidents, and disasters that come from one boxer named Henry. Through the ups and downs, Henry helps his family see what is truly important in life, thus bringing the ultimate happiness of having a canine companion in a family.
We have included a video by the author because we know you'll want to see the legendary Henry that inspired the book.
"Can you imagine your life without a cat? Not if you're reading this book. Now and then you will find a book that's difficult to put down. And this is one of them. The stories cover a wide spectrum. Memories of your own cat history will surely be activated. At times you will find yourself smiling or even laughing as you connect with a story. You'll remember the sounds of a purr or a hiss or a quiet meow. You'll remember long-lost images of your cat climbing up the drapes or hiding in the shower or stealing that piece of fish from the counter. You might even remember the panic you felt when you couldn't find your cat for a few hours, or even several days. And you might remember the feel of that dead mouse under your foot, which was really a gift from your proud hunter.

Place: Table View, Cape Town
Time and Date: 06:30 29.04.2013
Submitted by: Jacky
Came out this morning to say good bye to my hubby when I looked up into the sky towards Table Mountain because something moving caught my eye. I don't know if it was a plane (maybe shining in the morning light) but it looked exactly like a star moving away from Table Mountain towards the Northern suburbs. Not very fast but at a steady speed but with no other flashing or colored lights… and also absolutely no sound. It really just looked like a moving star but definitely not a meteor as it was moving parallel to the ground. It looked like it was to low to be a satellite but in all honesty just do not know what it is as I have never seen anything like it before… Am hoping that maybe someone else can shed some light on what I saw. I lost sight of it after it went over the skyline in my sight of view.

For large organizations, projects are often characterized of being:
- Involve people from various departments with separate reporting structure.
- Involve contractors from multiple vendors.
- Introduce technology which is unfamiliar to the employees.
- General disagreement or even lack of appreciation of the project approach.
- Multiple chiefs and puzzled doers.
- Software development is sub-component of the project.
Scrum advocates transparency by making the Definition of Done (DoD) agreed on and shared with all groups. The Value Stream (VS) represents the end-to-end trip for transforming the input into a valued outcome. The client request is "Done" when the VS reaches exit state, for example passed client acceptance test. This exit state can differ based on the request on hand and accordingly we break-down the DoD according to request type. In other-words, we should have multiple VS to be able to address each request type.
Back to large organizations, the construction and implementation of VS can serve to address the issues above by:
- increasing appreciation among doers from different groups,
- providing management visibility to how value is created,
- increasing respect as people began to realize the importance of others in creating value, and
- improving craftsmanship as each participant in every step would require continuous training.
The VS in Scrum should be continuously improved using retrospective as the forum. This very activity improves collaboration. Having the doers improving the VS amplifies self-organization and can encourage people to accept doing work for other process steps. This possibly can improve how team sign-off on tasks instead of being assigned to it by authority figure.
Between start and end of the sprint the value is generated and the VS provides insights on the process mechanics. Management and people involvement are enhanced and trust is built.
For VS which can take multiple sprints we could increase the sprint length or iterate. Iterate means apply the value stream on a sub-set of the request which provides essential value to the client while keep improving the fidelity of the produced value during future sprints. This takes us back to requirement decomposition and slicing so that we can implement the whole VS within the sprint time-box.
Enriching the previous understanding in large organizations can be challenging because we need to align the slices with business needs so that management can appreciate and therefore support the project. For me this is critical to the success of Scrum implementation.

How did you two meet?
Kiko King: We met at Maze's house.
creativemaze: It was one of those constant surprises; coincidence; or destiny, however you call it. Then we made a song and then another one and we've been doing that four or five years now.
Your melodies are often haunting and ominous; where do you get your inspiration from when writing these songs?
creativemaze: I dunno. It just feels right that way. For me, everything is inspiration, all kinds of inputs and their reflections on your mind plus what is indescribable with 3-D words. All inputs find their echo within you. So, it's imminent; it's about letting go and just doing stuff.
Kiko King: I just get out of the way.
Are there any bands or artists whose work has inspired your sound?
creativemaze: Every band and artist I've ever heard. Some showed me how to do it and some I don't understand.
Is there a track from another artist you find yourself listening to on repeat?
Kiko King: Family of the Year's "Hero".
creativemaze: Hjaltalin's "I Feel You".
How would you describe your sound to someone who had never heard it?
Kiko King: Airbender music. The total sound is like a dance with all of nature's elements.
creativemaze: It is airbender music.. Listen to different songs from it and if you can describe it with two genres I'll owe you a beer.
What do you want people to be able to take away from your music?
Kiko King: Anything that brings inner peace.
creativemaze: To be able to look at at least two sides of a conflict.
Could you let us know about forthcoming releases or live dates?
creativemaze: The EP, Intellect Illuminated, is out on December 1st and we will be releasing a brand new video for our second track off the EP, "Wolves", very soon. We will be touring Europe over December with new dates to be announced early next year.

Ekmabi Brillant is a master Cameroonian songman. He was born in 1948 in Dibombari, a village close to Douala. After several singles released on the Philips in the early seventies he moved to Paris to begin work on his debut album for the Fiesta Label. Here paired with the super hot producer of the day Slim Pezin he created a mini afro-pop-rock-funk masterpiece.
Proceedings open up with (our unofficial theme tune) of "Africa Africa" - layers of afro drums and percussion, psych fuzz guitar and bellowing bass all with Ekambi's call-to-arms chant. The perfect opener. "Massoma" is next up with a picked guitar line, afro boogie grooves and rolling bass. Foot tapping all the way. "Aye N'Dolam" and "Atele" are perfect example of the songmans craft highlighting his impressive vocal and lyric abilities (these are sung in Douala language).
"Aboki" is dancefloor gold. Repressed and re-issued several times recently the grooves stand out in 2016 as fresh as they did back in the day. Funky guitar, Locked on bass and killer brass. "Lambo" keeps the groove factor up and highlights the guitar mastery of Slim Pezin who manages to seamlessly mix in afro funk, pysch and jangly funk guitars all into one track. "N'kondo" melds African country and traditional sounds with funky guitar. "Essangia" hits us with sleazy laid back horns and a lazy funk groove whilst "N'Dutu" is the perfect ballad closing the album with its nostalgic vocal and guitar.
And there you have it, a most complete album which touches all the right bases and sounds incredibly fresh today.
Ekmabi went on to produce 10 more albums and in the 1990s moved back to his native Cameroon. He is still revered as a master in Africa and makes regular tours to the US, France and around the world.

Our second album, recorded live
during a party with 40+ of our friends. We had a great time recording in
a session-like
situation at Audiomation Studios. The recording quality is suberb
and we are very happy with how the music came out. This album has a
very personal feel to it with a good variety of songs and tunes.
We contributed four songs on this album along with Mike Gallagher, Tony Egan,
Terry Griffith and Laughrey-Connolly. The CD was part of an effort
to help out Andy M Stewart who lost a year's wages while
recovering from back surgery. (He's in fine form now.)
This album is a great buy and all proceeds go directly to Andy.
