For my rails app, there are two parts.
1) The actual site/app.
2) Site for businesses to pay to advertise.
The app is already built. It's a simple crud system using devise for user logins. I'm not using SSL for this.
For the business site, I simply want to have a form to enter in billing info and to be able to create an account. For the payments, I would like to use stripe. So, this site needs SSL. I would like this site to be on a subdomain of the same domain the app is on. So the main app is on example.com and the business site is on business.example.com.
Should I split these into two different apps? If they should be one app, how do I get the separate site to point to the subdomain and use SSL? Do I create a separate devise login system as well?

Kuntala Waterfall
|Kuntala Waterfall
|Kuntala, Adilabad district, Telangana
|Total height
|147 feet
Kuntala Waterfall is waterfall located in Kuntala, Adilabad district, Telangana. It is located on Kadem river in Neredigonda mandal.[1] It is the highest waterfall in the state of Telangana[2] with a height of 147 feet (45 meters).[3]
According to the popular and prevalent local belief Kuntala Waterfall got its name after Shakuntala, the beloved wife of King Dushyanth; the pair fell in love with each other and were mesmerized by the scenic beauty of the surroundings. The locals also believe that Shakuntala used to bathe by the waterfall.
Formed by Kadam River, Kuntala falls cascades down through two steps and can be seen as two separate adjacent falls after the peak rains. It is one of the famous one day outings from Hyderabad. There is a motorable road till the entry point of falls from where steps are available to reach bottom of falls. The falls is about 10 minutes (one way) walk from the entry point.
Public transport is available till Neredikonda from where private vehicles can be hired. Nirmal & Adilabad are base stations. Other waterfalls in the area include Gayatri Waterfalls and Pochera Falls.

The Constitution of Criminal Law: Justifications, Policing and the State's Fiduciary Duties

This paper, originally written for a conference on criminal law in times of emergency, considers the implications of the 'German Airliner case' for criminal law theory. In that case, the German constitutional court struck down as unconstitutional a law empowering state officials to order the shooting down of a hijacked plane on the grounds that the state could not order the killing of innocent civilians. Some have argued that despite this ruling, individual officials should still be entitled to claim a criminal law justification defence. I argue that the nature of justification defences necessarily ties them to the powers of the state to engage in such activity. I also argue that both the constitutional decision and its criminal law implications are salutary.

Sweet Carolina: Favorite Desserts and Candies from the Old North State (Hardback)Foy Allen Edelman
Hardback Published: 15/09/2009
- Can be ordered from our supplier
In this book, North Carolina's home cooks share their confections. Crisscrossing her home state of North Carolina over the course of six tasty years, Foy Allen Edelman visited families in their own kitchens and communities and discovered a treasure trove of delicacies. "Sweet Carolina" offers the recipes for more than 220 of these confections, along with their cooks' equally flavorful reminiscences, tips, and instructions for successfully creating desserts and candies that are bound to become favorites all over again in the Old North State and beyond. From easy apple dumplings, black walnut pound cake, Cherokee persimmon cake, and Miss Peach's sweet potato pie to lemon squares, coconut melt-away cookies, buttermilk pie, vanilla ice cream (or try the peach), old-fashioned butter mints, and five-minute fudge, this cookbook features many desserts as familiar as old friends - and some new and surprising delights, like the lazy day sonker (a deep-dish pastry served with flavors such as peach, cherry, or sweet potato). As many of the contributing cooks point out, the use of seasonal and local ingredients is prized in these wide-ranging and mouth-watering recipes. An invitation for home cooks of all levels of experience to get into the kitchen, this cookbook will satisfy more than the sweet tooth. From the mountains to the Piedmont to the coast, "Sweet Carolina" preserves a significant record of North Carolina and southern culinary traditions.

Hi. I am completely new to WP and are working with my first webpage/blog.
I just managed to activate the ultimate coming soon plugin, but can not figure out how to get ahold of my RSS URL address (so I can enter a FeedBurn address).
My webpage is under construction and the coming soon mode is active. I have no blog posts yet.
When I go to Feedburner, and trying to validate my address, it is telling me it looks like a webpage and not a feed.
I have tried to solve this problem for many hours and still don't know what to do.
Help would be highly appreciated.

HONOLULU (AP) — Community members and an environmental group on Wednesday sued the U.S. Navy, the Department of Defense and the secretary of defense over a plan to turn two Pacific islands into live-fire testing sites.
The European Commission will decide Wednesday on whether to hit Spain and Portugal with huge fines for failing to fix years of high deficits in violation of EU rules. A decision to impose penalties would be an unprecedented step in EU history, made in the face of rising anti-Brussels sentiment as demonstrated by Britain's vote to leave the bloc. Under bloc rules, the EU executive can impose fines of up to 0.2 percent of national gross domestic product (GDP) -- but to date it has not dared to use its full power against eurozone overspending for fear of triggering a populist backlash.

A high temperature superconducting magnet based on Bi-2223 conductor was built at the American Superconductor Corporation. The magnet was constructed by a react and wind technique using conductors made from a metallic precursor process. It has a winding ID of 25.4 mm, OD of 87.6 mm, and height of 107.3 mm. A heater, two thermometers, and several voltage taps were built into the high field region of the magnet for stability measurements. The magnet generates 1.1 T central field at 4.2 K when operating at 1 /spl mu/V/cm over the entire conductor length, including all the joints. Stability measurements were performed in background fields up to 2.5 T from 4.2 K to 77 K. Stability margins more than 2 orders of magnitude higher than a low temperature superconductor were observed.<>

Please select the black square: How do health professionals diagnose Munchausen syndrome?As occurs with some psychiatric conditions, there is ongoing debate about how to best understand and diagnose Munchausen syndrome. The diagnosis, now referred to as factitious disorder as indicated by the widely accepted criteria set by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) requires that the sufferer exhibit the following:Purposefully producing or pretending to have physical or mental-health signs or symptomsPresenting oneself as being sick, hurt, or impairedEngaging in the behaviors even when there are no obvious external motivators (like financial gain, avoiding legal problems, or improving physical well-being)There is no specific definitive test, like an X-ray or a blood test, which can assess that a person has Munchausen syndrome. Therefore, practitioners perform a mental-health interview that looks for the presence of the symptoms previously described. People with this condition may exhibit signs like having extensive knowledge of medical terminology, and they may have multiple surgical scars despite having little objective evidence of a diagnosable physical condition. As with any mental-health evaluation, the professional will work toward ruling out other mental conditions and ensuring that the individual does not have a primary medical illness or from medical issues that may cause emotional problems. He or she will often inquire about when the person has most recently had a physical examination, comprehensive blood work, and any other medical tests that a professional deems necessary to ensure that the person does not have a true medical condition rather than or in addition to potentially feigning or causing symptoms. It is also important for the practitioner to review any available medical records and talking to other people who are in the person's life (like current or previous treating professionals, the spouse, or other family members) in order to explore the possibility that there is a pattern of the individual lying and/or faking symptoms in the past.

HP Support Assistant doesn't work
I have a brand new HP Pavilion dv7-6c95x Notebook. I can open up Support Assistant but that's it. Everything stops after that. I can't do anything. HP WarrantyChecker is always popping up & freezing up. I always have to go to Task Manager to close them down. Any ideas??
Re: HP Support Assistant doesn't work
The first thing I'd try is a clean installation of HP Support Assistant as follows.
First of all, uninstall your current version of HP Support Assistant by opening windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry for HP Support Assistant and select Uninstall. When this process has completed, restart the notebook.
Next download and install the latest version of HP Support Assistant from the page on the link below - the download links are towards the bottom of the page.
After the installation, restart the notebook again.
If you get any error during any stage of this procedure, make a note of them and include them in your next post.

ART / ARCHITECTURE; Where Riots Raged, a Neighborhood Emerges
By TODD S. PURDUM
Published: July 4, 1999
LOS ANGELES— SEVEN years after the Los Angeles riots shook Southern California and the world, the words ''South-Central'' still evoke the open wounds of urban decay and social dislocation. But here on a wide swath of once-grand Vermont Avenue at 81st Street, seedlings of renewal are taking root this summer.
Against all odds, 36 mustard-colored, stucco town houses -- half of them built above storefronts facing the street and the rest around an interior court -- are filling up with first-time homeowners, most of them single mothers. In the process, Vermont Village Plaza is testing anew the possibilities of the New Urbanism of its award-winning architect, Daniel Solomon.
Mr. Solomon, a 30-year veteran of the architecture faculty at the University of California at Berkeley, has been a charter member of the New Urbanism, a school of architects, planners and theorists that has sought to rebuild, or replicate, the kind of pedestrian-oriented streetscapes and manageable-size neighborhoods that prevailed in American cities before World War II. The group has deplored the abandonment of traditional city cores and the rise of suburban sprawl, with its malls, office parks and isolated tract housing.
From his San Francisco-based firm, Solomon Inc., Mr. Solomon has designed projects ranging from re-interpreted San Francisco row houses to the Congregation Beth Israel Memorial Garden, a funerary chapel in Houston, and has done ''a lot of urban infill in rough and dangerous places,'' as he put it in a recent inteview. The South-Central site posed special challenges, not nearly all of them architectural, but after more than five years, Mr. Solomon's vision of a low-rise 1930's-style stretch of shops and apartments has at last taken shape.
Where a weed-strewn, vacant lot once sat like a scar, a graceful three-story facade of pilasters and balconies now marches along the street front, broken by palm trees. Remote-controlled security gates protect interior courtyards and two-car garages. Each two- or three-bedroom unit has skylights and ample open space, creating a remarkably uncrowded feeling on the compact, 1.75-acre site. There is even an on-site automatic teller machine.
''We built it for $77 a square foot, and it doesn't look like that, I don't think,'' Mr. Solomon said of the project.
The two-tone facade in soft yellows is accented at periodic archways with inset black and white tile, with vertical red stripes painted in crevices. Windows stretch seamlessly up the second and third stories, and inside the units they run ceiling-high to capture as much daylight as possible. The effect is a sleeker, stripped down version of a mixed-use Art Deco apartment complex whose contours would have made Raymond Chandler feel at home 60 years ago.
''The idea was to create an environment that accommodates cars, private open space, light from two directions, making them have the amenity and security of private houses, but at considerably higher density,'' said Mr. Solomon. ''The basic physical idea is that housing can sustain a little bit of scattered retail and services, when there is not that mass of parking that would support large retail outlets.''
But even reaching consensus on that concept took time and hard work. The $8 million project is a direct outgrowth of the 1992 riots and of the decades of commercial abandonment of the Vermont corridor that preceded and helped prompt them. After the violence, local banks and financial institutions came under severe criticism for their reluctance to invest in the area and one of them, First Interstate Bank, sponsored a design contest for a residential-commercial development, with perhaps 130 low-income apartments.
''The riots were the immediate focus, and the media hook for this,'' Mr. Solomon said. ''But the real underlying urban decay is not the riots. It's the abandonment of the commercial corridors of the city, which was the motivation for new mixed commercial space here.''
The idea was to use the vacant Art Deco husk of the former Hattem's Store, a 1931 supermarket and shopping arcade that later became the administrative building of Pepperdine University, as an anchor to draw commercial storefronts and stable housing back to the area. Vermont Avenue is one of the city's longest streets, stretching from the port at San Pedro north to the Hollywood Hills. But beginning 40 years ago, as white residents fled to the suburbs and were replaced by working class blacks, retail businesses began abandoning the strip, leaving the neighborhood lacking services from dry cleaners to shoe repair. The situation was exacerbated by the burning and looting -- and eventually the permanent closing -- of scores of stores in the riots.
But First Interstate's proposed remedy immediately ran into intense opposition from black middle-class homeowners in Vermont Knolls, a stable neighborhood of tidy yards and well-tended single-family homes immediately to the west, who feared the project would draw undesirable tenants from the much poorer, largely Hispanic area that stretches in squalor from the east side of Vermont Avenue.

Canon, what is it? Yes it is a type of artillery fixture however it has another meaning. "To understand canon and continuity, the overall Star Wars saga should be looked at as a set of stories written by many different people which "document\" past "events." Although some stories are more reliable than others, they all are looked upon as part of the overall "history." It should also be remembered that all of these stories are simply that-stories. There are numerous errors that inevitably arise between the stories simply because different authors have their own ways of telling the story and may not have the time and resources to perfectly align the details."- Wookieepedia. Different types of canon are present. In Star Wars canon, the highest level of canon is the 6 films made by George Lucas, the next level of cannon includes Tv Series such as the 2 Clone Wars series one made by Dave Filloni and the other by Genndy Tartakovsky. Last but not least, the next level of canon is the Novels and Comics written and published by various authors and companies.
In Tolkien's franchise, the concept of Canon is a little more complex, for the subject is still being debated. Naturally, the highest canon material is works published by J. R. R. Tolkien and his son, Christopher Tolkien. "I would draw some of the great tales in fullness, and leave many only placed in the scheme, and sketched. The cycles should be linked to a majestic whole, and yet leave scope for other minds and hands, wielding paint and music and drama ." - J.R.R Tolkien. From 2001 to 2003, film maker, Peter Jackson released 3 films depicting his interpretation of The Lord Of the Rings trilogy. Certain events that Jackson cut out or re-wrote in his interpretation sparked controversy amongst some fans of the series. The biggest issue was that in Jackson's interpretation of The Return Of The King in 2003, depicted the Shire a happy and un-touched place after the destruction of the one ring. In Tolkien's book, when Frodo returns from destroying the ring, the Shire is in ruins, industrialized, and secretly under the control of Saruman. Despite the differences, Jackson's films are loved and enjoyed and will continue to be enjoyed for years to come.
The goal of this group, The Alliance To Restore Canon, is to compile and discuss contradictions with canon in various sci-fi and fantasy franchises. Not to criticize the franchises but to simply make note of the contradictions and ask "how does this contradict? Why does this contradict? Is it an accident or on purpose? Is it directly from the franchise or one of the many independent authors?". So again, we are not criticizing the franchises, just wondering why these contradictions exist and why have they not been fixed. Something as simple as deeming it uncanon can fix a contradiction. Like the 2008 Clone Wars series for example, George Lucas has not yet officially declared the series canon and whether or whether not the series will re-write existing canon entirely or simply add to the time- line that had been established before 2008.
At the moment, the Alliance To Restore Canon is mostly made up of star wars fans, but we are open to other sci-fi and fantasy series so if you have found contradictions in other franchises and feel as if your not being heard, don't be afraid to join. All are welcome and all are treated with respect.

I thought TFA was great, but I still think TCW and Rebels are garbage.
It would be better to call Rebels, "TCW Part 2" because it's the same old bs.
Well Disney does own Star Wars so. Also who gives a crap if its not canon! IT STILL EXISTS! Like really and why the hell do you have to bash TCW and SWR. They are truly not bad shows. You can still enjoy the EU. Do you really want Chewbacca being hit by a moon canon?
well he did sacrifice himself to save han and his family from dying and he fulfilled his life debt so I would prefer that instead of Han dying and Chewie having to live with the guilt of his "Brother's" Death when he could have prevented it.
you know, we don't have to see filoni's **** as canon simply because it is not, these EU stories were there first and if Lucasfilm never officially owned the EU who is disney to say that it's not canon, I am currently in the process of taking all the plots for TCW and re editing them heavily so they fit in the original canon, not for money gain or anything but peace of mind for the continuity.
Ok really have any of you seen the Force Awakens? Its not bad at all, Disney did not make any Jedi Mickey BS. I am a die hard star wars fan. I loved the Eu, and i still do, but i must say the new cartoons are not all that bad. So please, stop this ridiculous crap. Eu is gone, deal with it. Larryfire.files.wordpress.com
Any chance of continuing the good fight, Commissar_Delta?
Boards.theforce.net Look what Dave did to Barriss in his new show.
He just won't stop his war on canon.
Well, at least we're getting a new Battlefront and movie this year. Hopefully Filoni won't be allowed to touch them.
""A Death on Utapau" is an unfinished episode of the animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The episode was released on StarWars.com as a story reel on September 25, 2014, as part of The Clone Wars Legacy. Despite being incomplete, as the series was cancelled before the episode could be finished, it is considered official Star Wars canon.[1]"
LOLZ let's make something unfinished and consider it as canon LOLZ

"Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Besides the fact that the accomodation was fully equipped and put oneself in a very convinient position, the mattress was a bit uncomfortable and the shower head in the bathroom was jetting water a bit too strongly. A flexible shower head that one can grab would be more handy. After the internet connection had broken down, the facility management took care of it and fixed it very quickly. However, the apartment was entered by the companies stuff without letting us know in advance."Guest: A guest from , Date of Stay: March 2016 Review Submitted: March 26, 2016View listing

"The unit was perfect for us. We have been to Kihei many times and love this location. It is right on the beach and across the street from some of our favorite places (Café O'lei; the Shave Ice Shack; and the henna tattoo place in the Rainbow Mall). It was nice to have all the beach chairs and boogie boards and beach towels that the owners supplied for our use. The unit was spacious and very clean and had new linens and a new sofa which was really comfortable. The ceiling fans and trade winds kept the unit cool, but there is also an air conditioner if needed. The owners were easy to work with and very quick to respond to our questions."Guest: Andynicky Date of Stay: March 2016 Review Submitted: April 20, 2016View listing
"This was our second time staying at the Kihei Kai Nani and highly recommend this unit. Centrally located in the complex across from the pool, office and laundry. The area of Kihei is great with restaurants and shopping within walking distance and of course the beach is right across the street!

"See the original Menin Gate Lions" Australian War Memorial Tip by pedroswift
Australian War Memorial, Canberra: 72 reviews and 178 photos
The Lions are currently being displayed in Canada. check news coverage
After the Canadian visit, they travel to Ypres to help commemorate the 100th Anniversary of World War 1.
There are over 50 VT tips on the A.W.M. What can I add? Only a specific which I have found particularly touching. A response to the ANZAC' spirit from the citizens of a town half the world away.
If you have visited Ypres (Ieper)in Belgium or if you intend to go (& it is a must for Aussies and Kiwis making a pilgimage to First World War battle sites) please note the Menin Gate Lions near the entrance to the museum at the Australian War Memorial.
The plaque on the wall explains:
"Menin Gate Lions
These medieval stone lions once stood on either side of the Menin Gate in the walls of the town of Ypres in Belgium. Ypres was destroyed in the war, and these lions were recovered from the ruins of the Menin Gate.
During the first world war allied soldiers passed through the gate to the battlefields around Ypres, where over 38,000 Australian soldiers were killed or wounded. The Gate became the site of a memorial to the British empire soldiers, including over 6,000 Australians, killed around Ypres and who have no known graves.
In 1936 the Burgomaster of Ypres presented the lions to the Australian Government as a gesture of friendship between that town and the people of Australia. They commemorate the service of the Australian soldiers who helped to defend Ypres in 1917."

Good tip Peter. I actually spent a few hours at the AWM this afternoon myself (it about a km from home)... concentrating on the Colonial period and in particular the Boer War (tucked away in the back on the lower level). Today special closing ceremony to end an "animals in war" day.

In this tutorial for 3ds max we'll continue to work at the Falling buttons logo series and this time we'll take a look at how we can solve the problem using Thinking Particles from Cebas. It is a rule-based particle system, but it is a lot more of it. This video will be useful to start playing with it, trying to understand the differences between particle event-driven and rule-based. We'll see how to create the basic setup using some nodes as MatterWaves, dynamic forces, collision with the ground and inter-particle collision. We'll see how to add UV Coordinates, materials, and how to cache the particles to have a faster way to interact with the scene. We'll start introducting conditions too, just to decide when the particle emitter is active or not. Rendering and compositing can be done using same parameters used in
Part 2.

Fandom: Hand of Isis - Jo Graham, Historical RPF, Ancient History RPF, Classical Greece and Rome History & Literature RPF, Roman History RPF
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa/Charmian (Hand of Isis), Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa/Julia the Elder, Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa & Gaius Octavian
Characters: Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, Charmian (Hand of Isis), Julia the elder, Gaius Octavian, Octavia of the Julii, Livia Drusilla, Marcellus, Demetria (Hand of Isis)
Additional Tags: Aftermath, Survivor Guilt, Redemption
Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa will always choose Rome. But he returns to Alexandria to confront the past. And he doesn't come alone.
This was the treat I wrote, inspired both by affection for the Numinous World novels by Jo Graham and by a decades long fascination with that particular century in Ancient history. I hope it works both if you've read Hand of Isis and if you haven't, but are interested in history.
Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa doesn't often get a starring role, in part, I think, because his life doesn't fit with the most popular tropes it could/should have fallen into and in fact downright defies them. He was the most talented military strategist of his generation, and yet neither tried to use that in order to make himself ruler of the Roman Empire, nor did he crash and burn trying. Nor was he someone who could only function in war: his "civilian" projects - aequaducts (including some that are still used, like the one getting water to the Trevi fountain in Rome), roads, temples, the change of the Campus Martius from a swampy health risk to to a park and buildings highlight of the cityscape, etc. - are impressive, and if Augustus by the end of his life could boast that he found Rome a city made of bricks and left it a city made of marble, it was Agrippa who had done much of the actual work. All this being said, Agrippa, while being as close to the Roman ideal as you could get in real life, can't have been without ambition: his three marriages were all proof of that (first he married money, then he married into the Julian family, and then he basically married the succession), and while he seems to have been content to be Octavian's/Augustus' right hand man, he definitely drew the line at the prospect of Augustus' nephew Marcellus being in command, leading to an estrangement betwen himself and Augustus that . Also, as I have him observe in less anachronistic terms than these, no one remains the second most powerful man of the world for such a long time in the most cut throat of surroundings if he doesn't know how to deal with power.
So Agrippa remains an enigma worth exploring to me. In Augustus-friendly fictions, he's usually the devoted sidekick without second thoughts; in Cleopatra-friendly fictions (by far the majority these days), he's either a brute ("Lily of the Nile"), the wrong age (the famous Elizabeth Taylor starring Cleopatra has him show up as a grizzled veteran with probably only two lines), or not present as a character at all. In the recent tv show Rome (definitely a Roman pov tale) he's basically Sam Gamgee who has wandered into entirely the wrong narrative for him. (Seriously, the actor looks a bit like Sean Astin as Sam.) And has an ill-fated brief romance with Octavia, which should make things awkward a few years later when he marries her daughter, but then said daughter doesn't exist in Rome.
Hand of Isis, which is narrated by Charmian, Cleopatra's handmaiden and in the world of the novel also her half sister, is an exception in that it's definitely on the Cleopatra side of things, but Agrippa, who has a supporting role in the narrative, is still presented as a tragic and sympathetic character. The one big change/addition the novel makes to history as far as Agrippa is concerned is to let a very young Agrippa be present among Caesar's staff in Egypt and to give him an affair with Charmian. (Spoiler: it doesn't end well.) However, he's actually not that often present in the novel (leaving dreams aside), and most important in the effect his siding with Octavian has. Because we're in Charmian's pov, Agrippa choosing to follow Octavian (whom Charmian despises, and who thus isn't given any positive qualities) is just barely comprehensible by Agrippa's Roman-ness.
This, then, provided an immediate fertile ground for me to grow my own story from. Agrippa from his own pov, which would explain why he does what he does, and would without refuting anything that happens in Hands of Isis also present a different take on both Rome and Octavian than Charmian has. Another important reason for me to choose this story to write, though, was that I've always been curious about Agrippa's later, post-Actium life, and about his third marriage, to Julia (Octavian's/Augustus' only daughter), whom I freely confess I have a huge soft spot for. Suetonius basically sees Julia as the occasion for massive slutshaming and no more than that, but I've always liked the take on her we find in Metrobius' "Saturnalia":
"She was in her thirty-eighth year, a time of life when if she had behaved reasonably she would have been almost elderly; but she abused the indulgence of fortune no less than that of her father. Of course her love of literature and considerable culture, a thing easy to come by in that household, and also her kindness and gentleness and utter freedom from vindictiveness had won her immense popularity, and people who knew about her faults were amazed that she combined them with qualities so much their opposite.
Her father had more than once, speaking in a manner indulgent but serious, advised her to moderate her luxurious mode of life and her choice of conspicuous associates. But when he considered the number of his grandchildren and their likeness to Agrippa, he was ashamed to entertain doubts about his daughter's chastity. So Augustus persuaded himself that his daughter was light-hearted almost to the point of indiscretion, but above reproach, and was encouraged to believe that his ancestress Claudia had also been such a person. He used to tell his friends that he had two somewhat wayward daughters whom he had to put up with, the Roman republic and Julia.
One day she came into his presence in a somewhat risque costume, and though he said nothing, he was offended. The next day she changed her style and embraced her father, who was delighted by the respectability which she was affecting. Augustus, who the day before had concealed his distress, was now unable to conceal his pleasure. "How much more suitable", he remarked, "for a daughter of Augustus is this costume!" Julia did not fail to stand up for herself. "Today", she said, "I dressed to be looked at by my father, yesterday to be looked at by my husband."
Here is another well-known story. At a gladiatorial show Livia and Julia drew the attention of the people by the dissimilarity of their companions; Livia was surrounded by respectable men, Julia by men who were not only youthful but extravagant. Her father wrote that she ought to notice the difference between the two princesses, but Julia wittily wrote back, "These men will be old when I am old."
End of Metrobius quote. Julia and Agrippa had five children together, the last one born after his death, and their birth places were spread across the Roman Empire because she was travelling with him, which doesn't necessarily guarantee they had a good marriage, but makes it at least possible. Moreover, given what Julia's father and her third husband, Tiberius, ended up doing to her eventually, it was probably the happiest time in her life, and I enjoyed writing her in that phase, where she also made an excellent narrative foil for an older Agrippa trying to come to terms with his past.
I've always been a fan of stories about survivors of tragedies (with and without guilt to carry), who have to get on with their lives and have to decide what they do next, not by forgetting or ignoring the past, but by trying to reconcile it with the present. Agrippa, in my story, attempts to do this. Read on whether he succeeds...

Tyrone Willingham knows a little something about getting fired. It happened to him at Notre Dame in 2004, and at Washington this year.And although Willingham isn't asking for any sympathy for his own situation, he says that coaches — and especially African-American coaches — are getting fired too quickly, and without enough time to build their programs."It's not just my issue, it's a college football issue — we have to give coaches a chance to do their job," Willingham told the Chicago Tribune. "Because now we have coaches … especially some of the minority coaches … they are losing their jobs after 21/2 years. That's not right."Miami coach Randy Shannon is currently the only African-American head coach of a BCS team. Willingham says he'd like to believe that more big programs will have black coaches at the top."One thing no one has ever disputed is that our program was run the right way," Willingham told the Tribune. "That should identify clearly that African-Americans have the ability to run one of the largest corporate football programs in this country in the manner that it should be done. So hopefully it was a steppingstone for all."
One-time Wisconsin commit Marvin Robinson lands at Kentucky
Marvin Robinson was never able to make it to the Big Ten to start his collegiate career, but now it appears he'll get that opportunity in the SEC.
On Kentucky's official online roster, Robinson is now listed as a wide receiver for the Wildcats. According to John Hale of the Louisville Courier-Journal, Robinson, at least initially, will be a walk-on on Mark Stoops' squad.
Robinson had been a verbal commitment to Wisconsin and was set to sign with the Badgers in February of 2015. However, the Fort Lauderdale product failed to qualify academically at UW.
The 6-4, 175-pounder sat out the 2015 season, so he'll be eligible to play immediately in 2016. Whether seeing the field actually comes to fruition remains to be seen as the Wildcats return five wide receivers who caught at least 10 passes in 2015, including the top four on the team in receptions and receiving yards — Dorian Baker (55-608), Garrett Johnson (46-694), Jeff Badet (29-430) and Blake Bone (20-210). Ryan Timmons (12-114) is the fifth, with those five also accounting for nine of the team's 10 touchdown receptions on the season.
Robinson was a three-star 2015 prospect who was rated as the No. 146 receiver in the country.
'No timetable' for Wisconsin LB T.J. Edwards' return from foot injury
Wisconsin will need all hands on deck if they hope to contain LSU's Leonard Fournette in the 2016 opener at Lambeau field. Unfortunately for the Badgers, a key hand may be unavailable.
A report emerged late last week that T.J. Edwards would be sidelined indefinitely because of a foot injury. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote that "Edwards was seen wearing a walking boot this week and a source confirmed the redshirt sophomore is out" for the foreseeable future.
During the Big Ten Media Days Tuesday, head coach Paul Chryst somewhat addressed the linebacker's status.
Paul Chryst said in local media session that there isn't a timetable for ILB T.J. Edwards' return from an injured foot. #Badgers
— John Veldhuis (@JohnVeldhuis) July 26, 2016
Chryst tells local scribes that there is no timetable for soph. ILB T.J Edwards' return to the field. Points out he was having great summer
— Benjamin Worgull (@TheBadgerNation) July 26, 2016
The Badgers open summer camp August 8. The opener against the Tigers is scheduled for Sept. 3.
As a redshirt sophomore last season, Edwards started all 13 games.
Mitch Leidner shares gruesome post-surgery foot photo
If you're the squeamish type, you might want to do your best to avoid the picture that appears in this post.
Mitch Leidner has been dealing with foot issues since the 2014 season, specifically ligaments that he's torn on multiple occasions. Following Minnesota's win over Central Michigan in the Quick Lane Bowl this past December, the quarterback underwent surgery to repair the ligaments in his left foot but returned in time for spring practice.
Leidner was one of the Gophers' player representatives at the Big Ten Media Days Tuesday, and decided he'd share a post-operation picture of his surgically-repaired foot. Again, if your squeamish, look away.
Here's what Minnesota QB Mitch Leidner endured this offseason. It's amazing he's healthy. This photo is likely NSFW. pic.twitter.com/3HmVyb9f0x
— Jesse Temple (@jessetemple) July 26, 2016
As if the photo doesn't paint this picture, head coach Tracy Claeys acknowledged that the starter was worse off health-wise than the football program let on last year.
"We hid his injuries pretty good a year ago," Claeys said according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. "He was banged up pretty good. The foot injury he had was tough and really limited him."
Now, though, Leidner proclaims himself, "[p]hysically, I'm in the best shape of my life, by far." The fifth-year senior, projected by some to be a first-round quarterback prospect in the 2017 NFL draft, added that he feels "like I'm throwing the ball better than I ever have before."
VIDEO: Body cam footage shows Iowa football player's encounter with police
The story of an Iowa football player, Pokemon Go and Iowa City police now has some visuals to go along with the oral narrative.
Over the weekend, officers in that police department were searching for a suspect in a bank robbery. Hawkeyes defensive lineman Faith Ekakitie (pictured, No. 56) just happened to be in a park in that area and seemingly matched the description of the suspect — black man in black clothing wearing something on his head — prompting the officers to approach the lineman. When Ekakitie failed to respond to the officers' commands, because he was wearing headphones, weapons were drawn.
According to Ekakitie in his Facebook accounting of the incident, he had "four gun barrels staring me in the face" at that point.
Because of the national attention the incident has received, the ICPD on Tuesday released two body cam videos that shows exactly how the encounter between their officers and Ekakitie went down.
"I think it's critical we get the information out so people can actually see the events as they actually occurred in real time," says ICPD Sgt. Scott Gaarde in regards to releasing the videos.
In his social media missive, Ekakitie thanked the police officers involved for how they handled the situation.
"I would like to thank the Iowa City Police department for handling a situation very professionally," the lineman wrote. "I would also urge people to be more aware of their surroundings because clearly I wasn't.
"Lastly, I would urge us all to unlearn some of the prejudices that we have learned about each other and now plague our minds and our society. I am convinced that in the same way that we learned these prejudices, we can also unlearn them."

Proporta's BeachBuoy iPad Case makes underwater photography a real possibility
Catch up with your emails while enjoying a spot of snorkelling this summer holiday. We're serious. With the Proporta BeachBuoy 100% waterproof case you'll be able to do just that with your tablet device.

Proporta has kitted out the case with a watertight double seal with a Velcro closure system for added protection. It should also help protect your device from sand getting inside it, with the British Standards Institute (BSI) giving it an IP57 and IP58 approval.

Patient Comments: Electromyogram - Experience
Please describe your experience receiving an electromyogram.
Comment from: Liz Wolf, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: April 04
Had both tests done today. They did the electro shocks in my hands very lightly, but along my upper arms it was painful. The needles did not hurt going in at all, just a little twinge, but after I left I did feel like I had received vaccinations all over my arms and hands. It was worse the first two hours afterwards than during. My suggestion is to bring along a Mortin to take right after the test if you are sensitive to pain.
Comment from: Just, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: March 22
I've had two electromyogram done for neuropathy in my legs. Both tests were from the waist down to the bottom of my feet and it was the most painful, horrible experience of my lifetime. Over 100 needle-pricks with each test. It's equivalent to having a nerve in your tooth exposed to air (if you've ever had one of those), only now there's a doctor poking needles into that nerve too! By the time they got to the 20th needle, I was in tears. It was so painful, and was never so relieved to hear the words "we're done."
Comment from: 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: March 07
If you have herniated disc with spinal stenosis, AVOID THIS TEST. I've learned my lesson and now it's too late. I have back pain over the years and with help of exercise, therapy and medication I'm still able to function close to normal. My MRI shows a 9mm disk bulge which is impinging my nerve root. I have back pain when I'm standing and sitting but it's tolerable. Now 4 days after the test, my back pain became worse. Once I start sitting, my pain flares up right away and even with pain medication. It wasn't like this before. I can no longer stay sitting even for a very brief period. This is one of the worst thing that happened to me. I'm contacting my Dr. Tomorrow Monday to let him know my situation.
Comment from: niffer222, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: February 22
I had this test done before my 3 level ACDF to determine neuropathy in my upper extremities and now tomorrow, I will again be subjected to this TORMENTING test due to ruptures in the l3-s1 area of my lumbar spine. I swore to myself I would never willingly take this test again and I have no choice if I want to undergo a second fusion for my lumbar spine. I think this is a hideous test that is not just unpleasant, but equivalent to human torture for me. I am already in pain and I will be medicated but I can tell you, I know it still will hurt.
Comment from: EMGtoday, Female (Patient) Published: August 04
What happens if the electromyogram (EMG) test didn't hurt at all! I didn't really feel it. It felt very relaxing to me on the highest level. I don't know if that is good or bad.
Comment from: ahmed, 19-24 Male (Patient) Published: April 14
I've had electromyogram (EMG) ten years back. The result was myopathy in my muscles that wasn't neuromuscular and the myopathy was higher in my lower limbs.
Comment from: DF1746, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: April 01
I had this electromyogram test today and it was not that bad. It felt like a rubber band snap, not painful at all. The needle part I did not feel, easy test, honest.
Comment from: Mermaid51, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: October 08
I received an electromyogram on both hands and arms. It was relatively quick and relatively non-painful.
Comment from: md, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: October 08
I've had an electromyogram at least 6 times. The electrical shocks, though not harmful, really get set me on edge. The needle part is a piece of cake.
