Congratulations, you've been elected to serve on your building's board. You managed to convince the rest of the building that you know enough about building systems or law or economics or even people-pleasing to make them vote for you and give you a position of power.
Before you pop open that bottle of champagne however, it's helpful to know what you're getting yourself into. While you may have convinced the other residents that you know what you're doing, do you really understand the ins-and-outs of the building's laws and politics, so that you can do a great job and make lasting, positive changes?
With Great Power Comes...
Managing a building that is both a home and an investment is a huge responsibility, and it's one of the rare jobs that requires no previous experience—or even knowledge—of the work you're about to do. Depending on your role (president, vice president, secretary or treasurer) you'll be responsible for your own set of tasks ranging from balancing the budget to taking scrupulous notes and uploading them to your building's website.
Some jobs even carry legal consequences, and you'll have to be very aware of the building's documents to make sure you're following the rules exactly. Board members don't necessarily come to the job knowing everything they need to know in order to fulfill their role—and veteran board members don't miraculously learn new skills or gain knowledge of new legislation or protocols just by serving on their board.
Both new and incumbent board members need refreshers now and again, in the form of courses, seminars and newsletters designed to enrich their understanding and add new skills to their administrative and managerial toolkit.

An officer from the Siem Reap province military police was injured on Saturday when a suspect threw two grenades at a force of about 20 police officers.
The injured officer, Uy Choy, is a major in the criminal bureau.
His attacker, Heap Thy, 45, threw the grenades when he realised his Oddar Meanchey hide-out was surrounded.
The officers had a warrant for Mr Thy's arrest over a murder in Kandal province.
Mr Choy's life is not in danger. Speaking from the private clinic where he is recovering in Siem Reap, he said: "I am fine now. They removed all the shrapnel from my left leg and buttock."
He said he was the only one injured because he was standing close to the house window. The grenades preceded a firefight.
The alleged killer escaped. It is not known if he was hurt in the shooting.

Ahead of its national convention in Abuja on Saturday to elect new set of leaders for the party, the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, said that he is strongly behind Uche Secondus to emerge as the acting national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement by his special assistant on electronic media, Governor Wike said Secondus from Rivers who is one of nine aspirants seeking to lead the PDP, is the only candidate from a state governed by the PDP. That claim is, however, false as at least one other candidate, Tunde Adeniran, is from a PDP-governed state, Ekiti.
According to Premium Times, less than 24hrs to the convention, Gov. Wike said he believes Secondus, a former acting chairman of the party, is the best candidate to lead the PDP in view of his experience and track record.
The Rivers governor said the other candidates have no political presence in their respective states to drive the revival of the party.
"I have analysed the scenario. I have analysed the delegates spread of each state. There is no way that Prince Uche Secondus will not coast to victory by over 90 per cent of delegates votes.
"I am talking because I am in the campaign team of Prince Uche Secondus and I am a delegate," the governor said.
Uche Secondus
Governor Wike also said he resigned his membership of the National Convention Planning Committee because he wants to focus on the campaign for the emergence of Mr. Secondus as national chairman.
"Secondus has never said anything negative against any other candidate. He has remained focused on his campaign," he said.
He said Secondus has no existing problems with the EFCC contrary to petitions against him. "Somebody who believes that he will win, will not resort to writing petitions before the convention. All reports in the media against Secondus are planted and false."
While saying there is no zone that should be taken for granted, Wike said that the South-south remains the bedrock of the PDP.
"National Chairmanship in the South-west will not change the fortunes of the PDP. Even when the President hailed from the South-west, the fortunes of the party did not improve in terms of votes in that zone. The zone is prone to incessant crises as can be seen. Any candidate who emerges from the South-west will lead to further crisis from other factions from that zone."
"Only a candidate from outside the South-west such as Prince Uche Secondus can unite the zone. He has the reach and capacity to unite all factions in the South-west. He is the person suited for the party at this time
"After tomorrow's convention, PDP will come out stronger. It will come out refreshed and re-positioned for the good of the country."

What We're Reading in 2019
Last year we started a new tradition at Reach Partners. Every week we set aside time to read during work hours.
At first, this felt a bit indulgent. We enjoy reading but – like many others – we typically crack open our books outside traditional work hours so that we can "do" things at work. And yet, reading is one important way that we learn and grow professionally. We decided our work calendar should reflect that.
With that in mind, we'd like to share a few of the titles that we've read recently – and a few that we'll be tackling soon. Drop us a line if you have any additional suggestions. Happy reading!
The Overstory by Richard Powers
Anita's Mastermind group recently read this novel about trees and the people who love them. If you think fiction doesn't have a place in professional development, think again. This novel gave the group plenty of opportunities to reflect on themes and lessons that are applicable to work and life. The writing is also incredibly beautiful, making it a joy to read. One sample: "A great truth comes over him: Trees fall with spectacular crashes. But planning is silent and growth is invisible." (Uh … true for people and project management, too, right?)
Where the Action Is by J. Elise Keith
Rachel has been digging into resources about meetings in preparation for an upcoming presentation. This book is golden. It's deep, well-researched, and a joy to read. Keith breaks down every business meeting into a taxonomy that provides specific tips – not generic best practices – on formats, timing, and framing. You still may not love every (or any) meeting, but you will find value in the engagement and team performance in the meetings you do have.
Dare to Lead by Brené Brown
We both can't wait to dive into Brown's new book, Dare to Lead. We're big fans of Brown's research into courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy. Her books remind us how we want to show up at work, at home, in our volunteer roles, and with our families. We're looking forward to gleaming her insights about how we can be even better at work. After all, as Brown says, "The courage to be vulnerable is not about winning or losing, it's about the courage to show up when you can't predict or control the outcome."
yesterday I was the moon by Noor Unnahar
Anita's teenage niece recommended this title, and when someone recommends you read poetry – you do it! Unnahar is a young woman from Pakistan. Her imagery and art journaling reflect both her age and the deep insights she has into human nature. We find that our minds expand when we explore new genres. Reading something unexpected or different challenges us to see the world – and our work – in a new light.
Meetings Suck by Cameron Herold
If you've ever rolled your eye at the idea of attending a meeting, don't read this book. The good part is Herold includes a paragraph or two about attitude: go into every meeting prepared like it's a job interview.
The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker
We were so inspired by this book that we traveled to Minneapolis last year to hear Parker speak in person. "The Art of Gathering" shares a human-centered approach to planning gatherings. Learn how to create meaningful, memorable experiences at work, or with family and friends. (One of her great observations: "Hosting is not democratic, just like design isn't. Structure helps good parties, like restrictions help good design.") Parker stresses that the most powerful gatherings begin with purpose and that every event is an opportunity to connect with others.
Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott
We've both read this book before (here's Anita's review) but Scott's work is always worth revisiting. Her seven principles for transforming critical conversations into ones of passion, integrity, authenticity, and collaboration are extremely valuable. After all, as Scott says: "the conversation is not about the relationship, the conversation is the relationship."
Your Event Sold Out! Now What?
Later this month, Anita will be attending an event featuring Rachel Hollis, author of the best-selling book "Girl, Wash Your Face."
Hollis has been a hot ticket for our local chamber's Women Connect anniversary. So big, that the event quickly sold out. Anita, and many others, were placed on a waiting list.
To accommodate growing demand for tickets, the Chamber of Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo quickly decided to move the event to a larger venue. More people could hear the author AND celebrate Women Connect. Woo-hoo!
A sold-out event is every event planner's dream, right? If all the tickets are gone, you've planned an event that people want to attend. If all the tickets are gone, you've likely covered your costs.
But sell-outs come with their own set of challenges.
When you sell out a day or two before an event you have one option: congratulate yourself on good budgeting as you keep plugging away at the last minute details you need to complete to pull it off.
But when sell-outs happen with time to spare, you – like the Chamber – have some decisions to make.
To our extreme pleasure, we have sold out an event, twice. The first time, it happened three weeks before the event. The second time, 11 days before.
Both times we were faced with two options: 1. Open a bottle of champagne and celebrate the fact that we had a strong plan of action and our event would go on as planned; or 2. Pour a cup of coffee, grab a pencil, and consider how to accommodate more people.
Adjustments can mean a variety of considerations from the extreme – secure a new venue or add another day – to the less drastic change of furniture or room layout. Each carries additional questions that relate to settings, seating, menu, budget, staffing, and materials.
Here are some things to keep in mind as you make those decisions:
Don't sell out strategy. Before changing an event, circle back to your strategy. Why did you want to host the event in the first place? To make money? Connect people? Educate? Go through your strategy and think through how all, not just the additional, people will be served.
Do the math. All of it. How many additional tickets do you need to sell to make financial sense of the added work it takes to reconfigure the setting for new seating and additional menu items, the material and staff time? Will everyone get what they paid for?
Consider the time. Do you have enough time and energy to pull it off? Do you have enough staff to manage the day with additional people? Can you order and ship more give-aways for the swag bag? Can you print more materials for the packet? Do you have time to construct additional custom birch-bark name badges?
Consider the place. Sure, maybe you CAN fit 75 more people in the back of the room, but really, SHOULD you make them stand?
Carry the torch. Don't forget about messages! Can you quickly create a new plan to clearly communicate the new order? Do you need to create additional signs or activities to maximize your space or guide people to the new meeting place?
Congratulations, you've sold out! Take a moment to enjoy the success and then make your next move strategic.

Bones may have bigger role in diabetes than believedJuly 23rd, 2010 - 3:02 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, July 23 (ANI): Two new studies have analysed the interplay between bone and blood sugar, suggesting that bones play a more important role in the onset of diabetes than previously thought.
Mice whose bones can't respond to insulin develop high blood sugar and insulin resistance, both hallmarks of diabetes, the researchers found. Those symptoms are tied to a drop in a bone-derived hormone known as osteocalcin. The findings suggest that osteocalcin, or perhaps a drug that targets bone, might hold promise in fighting the global epidemic of type 2 diabetes, according to the researchers.
"Our study reveals a key molecular link between bone remodeling and metabolism," said Gerard Karsenty of Columbia University.
"Bone is an organ that has to pay attention to where calories are going. It talks to muscle, fat, the pancreas. It's a player in energy metabolism," added Thomas Clemens of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
And perhaps that makes a lot of sense, Karsenty said. The remodelling of bone relies on two cell types, bone-building osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts, making bone the only organ with a cell type that is entirely focused on destroying host tissue.
"On a daily basis, the formation of bone is expensive in terms of energy," he said.
In fact, the idea that the skeleton is much more than a reservoir for calcium and phosphate isn't entirely new, the researchers said. Earlier evidence by Karsenty's group had shown links between bone and the fat hormone leptin. (Obese adults are significantly less likely to develop osteoporosis.)
Scientists also had evidence that osteoblasts might respond to insulin in important ways. Osteoblasts bear insulin receptors and when treated with insulin show signs of collagen synthesis and take up more glucose, Clemens' team notes. People with type 1 diabetes due to a lack of insulin can also develop weakened bones.
Karsenty's team describes bone as a multitasker. It has mechanical, hematopoietic (blood-producing) and metabolic functions. It also acts as an endocrine organ through the release of osteocalcin hormone, which favours glucose metabolism when in its active form.
Still, Clemens said he was surprised by what they saw after developing a mouse lacking insulin receptors only in their osteoblasts. "The mice started to get fat," he said. They showed changes in their biochemistry that were consistent with insulin resistance. They also had low osteocalcin levels and fewer osteoblasts to produce less bone.
With age, the animals became even fatter and developed more marked high blood sugar accompanied by severe glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. Those symptoms improved with osteocalcin treatment.
Karsenty's group presents independent evidence for the important role of insulin in bone for keeping glucose in check through osteocalcin, in what he refers to as a "feed-forward loop." But his group goes a step further to suggest that bone-resorbing osteoclasts (not just osteoblasts) have a place in this too.
Karsenty explains that bone-building osteoblasts actually control bone resorption by osteoclasts, a process that takes place under very acidic conditions. Those conditions would also favour the chemical modification necessary to produce active osteocalcin, which can escape bone to act as a hormone.
That could be important to those who take osteoporosis drugs designed to block bone resorption, Karsenty suggests.
He said: "It's a red flag. Osteoporotic patients treated with [bone resorption inhibitors] may be at risk of glucose intolerance."
Both studies appear in the July 23 issue of Cell, a Cell Press publication. (ANI)

OMG – it's done. I almost can't believe it.
But yes, it is actually over.
Book 3, Change of Darkness, is now with the publisher!
This is great news for you, as the book is on track at this point for release on 31 July 2018.
Its also good news for you, as now my beta readers can have a break and my advanced readers can start getting excited.
And its good news for me, because I can finally chill…the last few weeks have been mornings of 5am, crushing in edits, going off to do other work, coming home and doing more editing and polishing until late, and conferring at appropriate times with my amazing editor who lives in the USA.
Yes, its a crazy thing sometimes being a writer. At times, my friends are like, 'Why work so hard?' Why don't you just push back the launch date and take it a little easier?'
Because that's not how books are written and delivered, and because that's not the person I am. I set a goal, I meet it.
Another piece of excellent news for you as a reader? Book 3, Change of Darkness, is an action packed 142,000+ words long! That is great value for you! Sure, I thought about splitting the book into two, but it just wouldn't have worked for me this round.
And that reminds me (does a little dance in front of computer) – I just sent a 142,000 word book to my publisher!!! That's the third one!
I mean, you think it takes a lot of work to write a book? Well that's nothing compared to the challenge of editing and polishing one to the point where you can hand it off to the editor. And any author gets a little crazy and tense during the editing process.
But, like I said, its done, and I truly believe this book is going to be the best one so far!
But will it be the end of the series….?
Guess you're going to have to read and find out on 31 July 2018 🙂
Happy reading,

We have fallen in love with a different technique for preparing broccoli: roasting. The broccoli gets caramelized and almost burned in spots, giving it a sweetness and flavor that only needs a little bit of salt. Throw the broccoli in with a quick-roasting cut of meat, like this pork tenderloin, and you have an easy weeknight dinner.
The cooking times are a bit different, so read on to find out what I did:
I used [link href="https://www.womansday.com/Recipes/Roast-Pork-Tenderloin-and-Vegetables" target="_blank" link_updater_label="external_hearst"]this recipeas a starting point but changed up the seasonings and vegetables a bit. First I preheated the oven to 450F, then I coated my tenderloin with oil, and seasoned with salt, pepper and thyme. I cut the broccoli into mediu

I did another poll on my Instagram stories last week about what type of recipes you all prefer to see on Harlowe James. I obviously love to bake, but lately I have been more cautious about the recipes I put out there because I don't want everything I post to be unhealthy. A majority of you said you prefer to see healthy recipes although the baked goods are always pretty to look at. I am not going to rule out baking posts all together, but I myself am trying to eat much healthier and want to include some of the daily easy recipes I love. The first up is my super easy ginger udon soup. This is one of my go to soups because of the delicious layering of flavors and quick cook time.
Ginger Udon Soup
1 Package Udon noodles
1/2 tbsp garlic (chopped)
1/2 shallot (chopped)
1 tbsp. fresh ginger (chopped)
1 tbsp lemongrass (chopped)
2 carrots
5 cups low sodium chicken stock
1 bunch green onions
1/2 cup cilantro
1/2 cup bok choy
1 freshly squeezed lime
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. curry powder
salt and pepper to taste
Chop garlic, shallot, ginger and lemongrass and place in dutch oven over medium low heat. Cook until the shallot becomes translucent. While that is cooking, cut carrots into long thin pieces and add to pot, give it a good stir until everything is combined. Add chicken stock and soy sauce to the pot and turn the heat up to medium high. Add in the lime juice. Cook udon noodles according to package directions. I like to throw them directly into the soup pot and cook until tender or you can cook them in a separate pot of water and add them in. Add chopped green onions, bok choy and cilantro. Top with curry powder, salt and pepper and more fresh cilantro.

US Drone Strike Destroys House Full of Children in Pakistan
Several Civilians Among 20 Killed in US Drone Attack
by Jason Ditz, August 23, 2010
The Obama Administration's policy of escalating drone strikes took another hit today, after the explosion from a drone attack against the house of "suspected militants" in North Waziristan also destroyed a neighboring house full of women and children.
The combined toll from the blastwas 20 people killed, with at least four women and three children among the slain. At least 13 other civilians were also reported wounded, including a number of other children.

Ron Abuelo CenturiaRum
Ron Abuelo Centuria is a celebration of a century of rum-making tradition. Made from our oldest reserves, using white oak barrels aged for up to 30 years.
Don José Valera Blanco built the first sugar mill in Panama in 1908, but it didn't take long for his sons to convince him to develop it into a distillery. Ron Abuelo grow and cultivate all of their own sugar cane, allowing them to keep tight control over the whole production ensuring the quality is always high. For more information visit www.RonAbueloPanama.com
Tasting notes
A complex and buttery aroma, with plenty of oak, leads you to a generous abundance of baked fruits on a very rounded palate.

The Use of Circumstantial Evidence in Illinois Criminal Cases
July 6th, 2018 at 4:06 pm
If you turn on any crime drama show, chances are you have heard a prosecutor or defense attorney utter the phrase, "you only have circumstantial evidence." As a viewer of a television program, you might just hear these words and not think about what circumstantial evidence is or the role it plays in criminal defense cases. Circumstantial evidence is not just a phrase you hear television lawyers throw around, however, but a real type of evidence that is at issue in criminal proceedings.
Direct vs. Circumstantial Evidence
There are two types of evidence that can be used in criminal trials. Direct evidence is actual physical evidence used to link a defendant directly to a crime. This could be a video surveillance tape, a fingerprint at the crime scene, or any other evidence that directly points to a defendant committing a crime.
According to Illinois jury instructions, circumstantial evidence is "the proof of facts or circumstances which give rise to a reasonable inference of other facts which tend to show the guilt or innocence of a defendant." Essentially, this is evidence that is not actually rooted in hard, physical proof, but instead includes the circumstances that surround a defendant and point to their innocence or guilt. Further, Illinois instructs juries to use circumstantial evidence combined with other evidence presented in the case to arrive at a verdict.
Circumstantial evidence is used so that inferences can be made to link a defendant to a crime. Common examples can include resisting arrest, a motive to commit the crime, the opportunity to commit the crime, evasions by the defendant, denials, inconsistencies, the presence of a defendant at the scene of the crime, and any other conduct of the defendant that could be used to draw inferences to a defendant's guilt.
Prior Illinois Law
In the past, Illinois made special considerations around the use of circumstantial evidence. Previously, circumstantial evidence was only allowed to be used exclusively for a conviction of a defendant if the evidence excluded every reasonable possibility that the defendant might be innocent.
Now, circumstantial evidence can be used in addition to direct evidence. All evidence is considered by the trier of fact (the jury) or a judge in the event it is not a jury trial. This evidence can all be used to determine whether the prosecution has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that a defendant is guilty of the crime of which they are charged.
Let Us Help You Today
If you have been charged with a criminal charge, then you need an attorney. Passionate Rolling Meadows criminal defense attorney Christopher M. Cosley will work diligently to present every piece of evidence available to prove your innocence. Attorney Cosley understands that circumstantial evidence can play a huge part in a criminal trial and will present contradictory evidence at every available opportunity.

All opponents are horrible clichés. In the Netherlands, for example, you will literally face prostitutes! Spanish opponents, a torero and a bull (!) for some reason appear in the Netherlands as well. The differences are almost only of graphical nature, apart from the two animals which indeed play a little differently.
Although each fighter only has one or two kicks and one punch, these few animations are atrocious. Controls react only sporadically and collision detection is a total mess. Music consists of exactly one track which plays through the whole game. Sound effects don't exist at all.
So unfortunately, there is absolutely no saving grace to the game. It is a total disaster and a very obvious case where the overused saying "what were they thinking?" is really applicable for once. The final nail in the coffin is that it also isn't "so bad it's good". Well, maybe for five minutes. Anything above that, you'll want your time back.

Magnitude 4.2 Earthquake Hits Oregon – ABC News
Some Oregonians woke on the Fourth of July to a significant jolt when a magnitude 4.2 earthquake struck near Springfield and Eugene.
Hundreds of people reported to the U.S. Geological Survey that they felt the quake, which struck at 8:42 a.m. Saturday.
USGS Geophysicist Paul Caruso there usually isn't any damage from quakes lower than magnitude 5.5
The quake was centered about 9 miles east/northeast of Springfield and 12 miles east of Eugene.
The quake was about 4 miles deep, which Caruso says is considered shallow.

SEQuential ART for Kids (SEQ ART) was initiated in 1985 by one artist, Diane Postion, in one school, Chinatown's P.S. 130, nearby Franklin Furnace located at the time at 112 Franklin Street in TriBeCa. She is an artist whose work often takes the form of books. SEQ ART began as a literacy program utilizing time-based art forms to teach English to children from mainland China; SEQ ART has now for over 20 years provided comprehensive on-site art activities that integrate with existing school curricula. With a $25,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, SEQ ART reached its largest audience in 1995 with nineteen artists who worked in book and papermaking, photography, performance art, videography, and film animation in nineteen schools in the five boroughs.
Franklin Furnace partnered with P.S. 52 in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, for a decade, from 1997 to 2007.

NEW YORK, NY – Collective by Jeff Lincoln in Southampton, N.Y., brings together in one powerhouse show eight titans of American art: Billy Al Bengston, John Chamberlain, Eric Fischl, Alice Neel, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, John Wesley and Christopher Wool on view at 200 North Sea Road from July 29th through September 30, 2016.
Despite a widely disparate visual language, these artists all engage with the numerous and varied aspects of American popular culture. From the California motorcycle imagery of Billy Al Bengston's Busby, 1963, where the acid yellow rendering of the BSA motorcycle logo is elevated to Pop iconic status, to the Abstract Expressionist and Pop Art gestures of seminal sculptor John Chamberlain, American Icons traces the compelling, myriad of subjects that make up the American experience. From teenage sexual angst, a recurrent meme throughout Eric Fischl's oeuvre that's demonstrated in Boy's Toys, 1981, to the power of celebrity culture in American society as adroitly referenced by Cindy Sherman's early Film Still, 1979, psycho-sexual imagery of John Wesley's Alice, 1965, and the unflinching mirror Alice Neel's points on the subject of sexual expression with her 1982 searing portrait a powerful portrayal of the pioneering feminist Annie Sprinkle – each of these artists are uniquely adept at exploring the dark and disturbing underside of American life.
Mining the vast territory of American media and popular culture, advertising and entertainment, Richard Prince has engaged wide ranging issues from sexism and racism to the iconography of popular American visual tropes of cowboys and cars, pulp fiction and Borscht Belt humor, to create through the appropriation of images and other cultural ephemera his own visual language. His paintings Skull and O Henry are examples of this wide-ranging vision.
Popular culture is treated with yet another unique approach in the process works of artist Christopher Wool. Warholian in his Pop Art sensibility and engagement with the issue of process through the techniques of silk screening and roller printing, Wool explores the use of pattern and decorative elements in his art to create a distinctive visual imagery that can best be described as Neo-Pop.

(NEW YORK) — Even after Snapchat admitted photos sent using the popular app don't disappear forever after all, experts say users still don't grasp how difficult it is to entirely erase something from the Internet.
"It looks like it's gone," security expert Nico Sell told ABC News. "If you don't understand the underlying technology of the Internet, and aren't thinking about what is going on behind the scenes, it looks like it disappeared."
But most of the time, your "deleted" Instagram snaps or Facebook posts — or possibly Snapchats — are still lurking on a server somewhere, said Sell, founder of another private messaging app, Wickr.
"Even when something is deleted from a device or a computer, it doesn't completely delete," she explained. "Your SMS — if you were to delete a text, I could still get it off the phone. It's in the trash."
Snapchat agreed to settle charges by the Federal Trade Commission on Thursday that it deceived users about how private their photos really were. The company admitted that there were roundabout ways users could save a friend's photo — which is supposed to "self-destruct" after a few seconds — by downloading third-party apps or taking screenshots.
The FTC also accused Snapchat of secretly collecting private information from users through its "Find Friends" feature, which accesses contact information.
Snapchat said it would be more forthcoming about privacy with users.
The company says it deletes "snaps" from its servers after the message is opened, but admits people can still take screenshots of messages.
When that happens, Snapchat sends the sender a notification.

Show you the 'real' image when browsing image files on Github repositories.
Github.com is a great place for developers, from time to time, I'll browse the code in the website. Github actually has done a great job on displaying text files, from source code to the markdown file, but it doesn't display the image in the browser, instead it gives the user the "View raw file" link. That's not what I want. I want to view the image right in that window. So I made this extension. In this extension, when you are in a page that corresponds to an image file, the little octocat on the address box will be light up, and by clicking it, you can view the image on the fly. Some notice: 1. I don't know how to make an icon, so I just borrow the github logo. If anything was wrong, I'll change it, I promise. 2. Only supports ".png" file for now.
