[alert type="green"]As we get closer and closer to the US launch of Avengers: Age of Ultron, the penultimate film in the second phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we thought we would take the time to look into the first phase of the blockbuster films, break them down for those who have yet to see them (all four of you), and get you ready for what's coming up next. [/alert]
The One Where it All Began – Iron Man
Before 2008, superhero movies were adequate at best. The Blade and X-Men movies were the cream of the crop and that is saying a lot. It was not until the long awaited arrival of Tony Stark to the silver screen, did people begin to look at comic book movies differently.
What Iron Man showed the world was that comic book characters have a lot of depth to them and they make a good source material for movies if done right. By now everyone reading this has seen the first Iron Man movie and if you have not then I recommend that you do. Mainly as a reference to see how the movies have progressed over the year but also because it's a fun movie.
Whether you are familiar with Tony Stark or not, Iron Man does a good introducing you to the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) version of Tony Stark. Newcomers are treated the arc of the billionaire turned superhero, while veterans see a modern re-imagining of the classic along with plenty of Easter eggs.
The One Everyone Forgets – The Incredible Hulk
When most people see the Hulk they see mindless beast. However, I see a modern take on Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Similarities can be drawn from the split personality to philosophical man's inner beast/animal.
Although it is the lowest grossing movie of the Phase One films, it is one of my favorites. However, I am very biased towards the green giant, I even enjoyed the previous outing to the silver screen. Unlike the rest of the Phase One movies, expect Iron Man 2 for obvious reason, The Incredible Hulk is not an origins story. It briefly tells you the origin story at the beginning but after that its business as usual. I thought this was a great approach as the origin story is not all that great and it cuts down the time until the big reveal.
The Incredible Hulk has far less comedic than Iron Man which is a given considering the themes explored like; radiation poisoning, treason, hidden military agenda and the ever popular secret military weapons/programs. The only thing that got to me was the love story. However this has been a staple of The Incredible Hulk, so my complaint is a non complaint.
The One To Remind You – Iron Man 2
The main issue I have with Iron Man 2 is that it has no justifiable purpose, I see it as a movie equivalent of a filler. The only import event is the introduction of War Machine. There was a hint of the Demon is Bottle storyline but nothing more.
To be brutally honest, Iron Man 2 is the only movie of Phase One which can be skipped without missing much. I can only recommend it for fans of the villain Whiplash or War Machine.
The One No One Asked For – Thor
At this point, the general movie going population started noticing that something was going on with these Marvel movies. More characters kept jumping into other movies with the most prominent being Agent Coulson. Those few who watched Iron Man 2 and stuck around to the post credits scene got treated to a tease of the weapon of choice for the God of Thunder.
I've never been a fan of Thor and I was not looking forward to his silver screen debut. However, as most Marvel movies tend to do, I ended up enjoying it. Not as much as Iron Man or The Incredible Hulk, but a lot more than Iron Man 2.
The origin story was glossed over fairly quickly, however they did give Thor a nice character arc. He went from an arrogant would-be king to learning what it means to be king. Along the way they introduce the love interest and a character who would become important as time goes on. One thing I love about the MCU movies is that they can balance the serious tones with humor. Other movies seem to confuse angst with seriousness/grown-up themes.
The Long Trailer – Captain America: The First Avenger
By now the general movie going public started catching on to what Marvel was doing. Not only was it mentioned in both Iron Man movies, but it was blatantly outed when at the end of Thor it said "Thor will return in The Avengers". Now a we get a movie with a subtitle related to this group known as the Avengers.
I've never been a fan of Captain America. I understand his relevance and importance within the Marvel universe; I mean, my favorite character was a result of people attempting to duplicate the super solider serum. However, I never really connected with him and silver screen incarnation did not change my stance on him.
In the final Phase One lead up movie we see how Steve Rogers turned into the iconic Captain America. What stood out most for me was well they managed to convey the principles that Steve Roger stands behind. I actually was eager to see what would happen when he eventually got the power. When he did I was thoroughly entertained. As entertainment as someone who knows the source material could be.
The One That Broke Records – The Avengers
Looking back now, it's difficult to imagine that there was a time when the Blade and X-Men movies were considered the best comic book/superhero movies. Comparing them, or most other superhero movies, to The Avengers seems unfair. The hype behind Avengers was built over 5 movies with a solid amount of time spent exploring most of the major characters. This allowed The Avengers to hit the ground running and apart from the first 30 minutes, it was firing on all cylinders.
Yes, I am fully aware of my bias towards The Avengers. I also aware of the various plot holes. My favorite one is the one I refer to as staff-ex-machina for obvious reason. However none of them detract from how much I enjoyed the movie. It is exactly what I think a summer blockbuster should be, that is a blend of action and drama, sprinkled with comedy and poured over a strong arc with hints of mystery and intrigue.
Now that Marvel had assembled earth's mightiest heroes, they need something to do. What did Marvel do? They decided to introduce the general to public to the Infinity War by teasing the mad titan, Thanos. I, like most Marvel fans, began bouncing off the walls of the thought of seeing the Infinity War brought to life with the same, if not better, care and attention Phase One had gotten.

Categories: Family Fun
The festivals which run for about 6 weeks from the beginning of March until the Easter Weekend, are an annual celebration of Canada's true eco-friedly liquid gold. Canada's international reputation has been taking a hit in the last decade or so as we are becoming known as an exporter of natural resources such as oilsands, asbestos and other materials that are ultimately harmful to the environment and to humans.
This branding, while warranted is unfortunate since we have also been exporters of other natural resources and products such as Maple Syrup -- the all-natural liquid gold that Canada produces approximately 80 - 85% of the entire worlds production of. What's even more ironic is that due to climate change - a man-made dilemma caused primarily due to the increased use of fossil fuels such as our oilsands, the annual production yields of maple syrup have been on a somewhat steady decline.
The process of making maple syrup is rather simple. As sap begins to flow within the trunks of maple trees, due to a process of nightly freezing and day time thawing, the trunks are tapped to extract the sap. The sap from the tree is mostly water, but through the process of boiling down the water, the concentration of sugar increases until eventually you get to a point where what remains is what we have been putting on pancakes, waffles and oatmeal for centuries.
It takes 40 buckets of sap to produce just one bucket of maple syrup. At the Maple Syrup festival visitors are shown demonstrations of how trees were tapped and sap boiled down using traditional methods. At the same time they can see how modern production methods have eliminated the need to use pails as well as how modern boilers have replaced open pit fires.
Beyond the pure decadence that Maple Syrup offers, it's also big business. Canada annually produces somewhere around 26 Million litres of the stuff, with most of that being produced in Quebec. This nets an economic boost of about $150 Million annually. Awareness has also been increasingly growing as to the health benefits of maple syrup, as it contains notable amounts of calcium, iron, potassium and zinc. Maple Syrup has also been shown to have antioxidant properties as well.
Despite all that is good about maple syrup, there is much about it's future that leaves both maple syrup producers and environmentalists with a lot to worry about. In some respects what we are seeing with regards to the struggles to produce maple syrup in parts of the US especially, is akin to a Canary in the coal mines where climate change is concerned.
The sap of sugar maples, which is the one and only ingredient of pure maple syrup can only be harvested during a period of weather where freezing temperatures at night are followed by thawing temperatures during the day. Traditionally this time period lasts about 4 to 8 weeks and takes place around the end of winter and the beginning of spring. However due to the effects of climate change we are seeing both a shift in harvesting periods as well as a decline in production overall. In fact some areas of the US that have traditionally been maple syrup producing zones can no longer do so given that the temperature fluxuations needed simply don't take place.
As the geographic areas capable of producing maple syrup keep shrinking northward, the risk of permanent diminishing our supply is real. There is a hard cap to northward expansion of the sugarbush given that at a certain point trees will no longer grow. A concern for afficionados of maple syrup is that reduced supply will only drive prices higher and thus eventually making it a luxury product where only the wealthy can afford to purchase and enjoy.
At Bruce's Mill, the small production operation they have was greatly affected by the abnormally warm winter we just experienced. Yields from their sugarbush were down an astonishing 90% from the previous year. The economics of this were glaringly obvious when you visited the Sugar Shack retail outlet where locally produced Maple Syrup was selling for $28 per litre, which is about 30 - 40% higher than last year by my own estimation. While commercial producers have the ability to adjust their harvest cycles better than they do at Bruce's Mill, it's estimated that the harvesting time period has been reduced overall by about 10% over recent years, and this is a growing concern.
When it comes to making substantial changes to our lifestyle, its absolutely true that everyone has within them a motivator which is strong enough to get past the difficult aspects of change. While I wouldn't suggest that the struggles of the maple syrup industry alone would be one of those motivators, it may very well be something that when added up with other things, it brings people that much closer to finding the push they need.
As a proud Canadian, a passionate lover of all things maple and an EnviroDad, I know that for me saving our national iconic export - not to mention my favourite all natural sweetener is something definitely worth fighting for!

Celebs Who Worked Normal Day Jobs Before They Were Famous
Celebrities — they're just like us! Or many of them used to be. That's right, before they were famous, they used to have regular jobs because, hello! Booking auditions, coming up with rent money and paying the bills had to be done. Here are 20 celebs who started from the bottom, now they're here. Well, there. In their fancy mansions, making it big and living glamorous lives.
Meghan Markle was a calligraphistBefore becoming the Duchess of Sussex, the former actress had such fine penmanship that she used those skills to earn money in Hollywood. "I would sit there with a little white tube sock on my hand so no hand oils got on the card, trying to pay my bills while auditioning," she told Esquire in 2013. "I'm glad that in the land of no one seeming to appreciate a handwritten note anymore that I can try to keep that alive."

Cardi B was an exotic dancerCardi B worked as a supermarket cashier before her tardiness got her fired, but before she was let go, her manager told her to go across the street and work at the strip club. "In one day I made more than a week's pay. But I felt a little bit of shame," she told Complex. "I imagined my mother shaking her head. Disgraceful. I had to survive, though." Her plan was to retire from stripping at the age of 25 but by 23, she became a social media personality and well, you know the rest. Okurrr!
SEE ALSO: These are the richest singers of the year, and 2019 isn't even over!
Hugh Jackman was a party clown"I made my living as a clown at kids' parties for about three years," Jackman told the Daily Mail. "I was Coco the Clown and I had no magic tricks and I remember a six-year-old standing up at a party saying, 'Mummy, this clown is terrible, he doesn't know any tricks' — and he was right." Well, it was kind of acting.
Jennifer Aniston sold time sharesLike her Friends character, Rachel Green, Aniston worked as a waitress and loved it. But prior to that, not so much. "I didn't like time-share selling, I hated that job," she told Parade magazine.
SEE ALSO: Make note of these brilliant career tips from the most powerful women in the world.
Barack Obama served ice creamBefore taking over the White House, the former president used to work the counter at Baskin Robbins as one of his first jobs. "Scooping ice cream is tougher than it looks," Obama wrote on LinkedIn. "Rows and rows of rock-hard ice cream can be brutal on the wrists."
At the time, he was "less interested in what the job meant for my future and more concerned about what it meant for my jump shot" but Obama stated the job ultimately taught him valuable lessons about responsibility, hard work and how to balance a job with friends, family, and school.
Brad Pitt worked as a fast food mascotLike many wannabe actors, Pitt worked at a restaurant chain. But he didn't work the counter or even in the kitchen. Nope, Brad wore a chicken suit outside an El Pollo Loco while trying to get his big break. What a waste, hiding that beautiful face.
YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE: Yikes to the most expensive celebrity divorces in Hollywood history.
Danny DeVito styled the hair of dead peopleThe actor used to work at a mortuary and styled the hair of those who had passed. "It's a little morbid, but it was only women's hair," he told George Lopez. "Usually really old ladies...and they didn't talk back!"
YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE: May we have your attention, please. These billionaires are single. That is all.
Jon Hamm designed sets for porn filmsBack in the day, he dressed the sets of X-rated movies, though the actor has stressed that the films were strictly "soft-core" and an easy way to earn a few hundred bucks a day.
"Essentially, I had to move furniture around sweaty, naked people," he told The Sun. "It wasn't a great job but the money was useful. I had to get by — I wanted to be an actor."
SEE ALSO: Whoa, these celebrity weddings cost quite a pretty penny.
Quentin Tarantino was an usherTarantino's been a film buff since birth so it's only natural his first job in the industry was as an usher. But not for the kinds of movies you might think. Quentin worked at the Pussycat Lounge, an adult theatre in Torrance, Calif. By 21, though, he moved out of there for a job more in his comfort zone: at a video store, where he worked for five years.
Elizabeth Banks sold popcornBanks didn't serve popcorn at a theatre or in the comforts of her local mall but, rather, Pop-Corner was "a little wagon that's red that sits on the corner of my hometown and I handed popcorn out a window," she told Us Weekly. "It was about 197 degrees inside of it. I worked there probably two summers."
SEE ALSO: Try not to be blinded by the most expensive celebrity engagement rings.
Orlando Bloom was a clay trapperOrlando Bloom was 13 when he got his first job at a pigeon shooting range, loading and aiming the clay discs shooters used as targets.
SEE ALSO: The net worth of the richest hockey players in the world will surprise you.
Johnny Depp was a pen salesmanThe actor worked as a pen salesman — and hated every second of it. "You promise them all these things if they buy a gross of pens," he told Interview mag. "It was just awful. I sold one thing...and I was riddled with guilt...so I talked him out of it."
Megan Fox worked at a smoothie cafe"I only had one job growing up — I worked at a smoothie cafe," the actress said during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, adding that she had the option of dressing up in an apple or banana costume. "I always went with banana because it was thinner."
YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE: These celebs totally cheated when it came to tax time.
Mayim Bialik was a teacherThe actress was born to first-generation teachers and documentary filmmakers so it's no surprise she followed in her parents' footsteps. Bialik received her B.S. in Neuroscience and Hebrew and Jewish Studies from UCLA in 2000, and earned a Ph.D. in Neuroscience seven years later from UCLA, specializing in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in adolescents with Prader-Willi syndrome. She worked as a chemistry and physics teacher as well as a certified lactation educator counselor.
Russell Crowe was a DJPrior to becoming an actor, Crowe was known as Russ Le Roq. That's right, that was his DJ name when he worked at a nightclub in Australia. "It was the easiest thing to pick up women."
YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE: These criminals are stinkin' rich, ugh.
Kourtney Kardashian was a production assistantThe eldest Kardashian sister may be in front of the cameras on her family's reality show but she actually got her start behind the scenes working on movie sets as a production assistant, where she "had to yell 'cut' and 'rolling' all day."
SEE ALSO: These high-paying jobs also offer the most time off. Um, yes, please!
David Boreanaz was a door-to-door salesmanWhile Boreanaz loved his job as a ball boy for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the feeling was not the same for his gig as a travelling salesman. "I once sold gourmet food door to door, until I locked the keys in the truck after my first sale," he told Us Weekly. "Job lasted a week."

The Holy Name of Mary
September 12, 2015, 12:33:48 AM »
In accordance with Jewish custom our Lady's parents named her eight days after her birth, and were inspired to call her Mary. The feast of the Holy Name of Mary therefore follows that of her Birthday, as the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus follows Christmas. The feast originated in Spain and was approved by the Holy See in 1513; Innocent XI extended its observance to the whole Church in 1683 in thanksgiving to our Lady for the victory on September 12, 1683 by John Sobieski, king of Poland, over the Turks, who were besieging Vienna and threatening the West. This day was commemorated in Vienna by creating a new kind of pastry and shaping it in the form of the Turkish half-moon. It was eaten along with coffee which was part of the booty from the Turks.
The ancient Onomastica Sacra have preserved the meanings ascribed to Mary's name by the early Christian writers and perpetuated by the Greek Fathers. "Bitter Sea," "Myrrh of the Sea," "The Light Giver," "The Enlightened One," "Lady," "Seal of the Lord," and "Mother of the Lord" are the principal interpretations. These etymologies suppose that the Hebrew form of the name is Maryãm, not Miryãm. From the time of St. Jerome until the 16th century, preferred interpretations of Mary's name in the West were "Lady," "Bitter Sea," "The Light Giver," and especially "Star of the Sea." Stella Maris was by far the favored interpretation. The revival of Hebraic studies, which accompanied the Renaissance, led to a more critical appraisal of the meanings assigned to Our Lady's name. Miryãm has all the appearance of a genuine Hebrew name, and no solid reason has been discovered to warrant rejecting the Semitic origin of the word. The Hebrew name of Mary, Miryãm, (in Latin Domina) means lady or sovereign; this Mary is in virtue of her Son's sovereign authority as Lord of the World. We call Mary our Lady as we call Jesus our Lord, and when we pronounce her name we affirm her power, implore her aid and place ourselves under her protection.

The Holy Name of Mary

Today, the 12th of September is the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary. It has been a universal Roman Rite feast since 1684, when Pope Innocent XI included it in the General Roman Calendar to commemorate the victory at the Battle of Vienna in 1683
As to what is at stake, I link to a Fr. Z post that lays it out quite neatly in his post titled The final target of the Third Hijra: Rome and the Catholic Church. (see here)
Today more than ever, we need to go to Church, pray and do penance. Please also keep the Hungarians, the Poles and the Czech in your prayers. They are on the front lines and heroically resisting against much larger and better funded forces, both internal and external, of heretics, heathens and infidels.
Background of the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary from Wikipedia:
The feast day began in 1513 as a local celebration in Cuenca, Spain, celebrated on 15 September. In 1587 Pope Sixtus V moved the celebration to 17 September. Pope Gregory XV extended the celebration to the Archdiocese of Toledo in 1622.[3] In 1666 the Discalced Carmelites received permission to recite the Divine Office of the Name of Mary four times a year. In 1671 the feast was extended to the whole Kingdom of Spain.
Before the Battle of Vienna in 1683, John III Sobieski had placed his troops under the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the following year, to celebrate the victory, Pope Innocent XI added the feast to the General Roman Calendar, assigning to it the Sunday within the octave of the Nativity of Mary.
The reform of Pope Pius X in 1911 restored to prominence the celebration of Sundays in their own right, after they had been often replaced by celebrations of the saints. The celebration of the Holy Name of Mary was therefore moved to 12 September.[7] Later in the same century, the feast was removed from the General Roman Calendar in 1969 in the reform of the Calendar by Pope Paul VI, as something of a duplication of the 8 September feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary,[8] but it did not cease to be a recognized feast of the Roman Rite, being mentioned in the Roman Martyrology on 12 September. In 2002 Pope John Paul II restored the celebration to the General Roman Calendar.[
If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.

The Holy Name of Mary
Reply #2 on:
September 12, 2015, 04:17:46 AM »
Eight days after the birth of the Blessed Virgin, Her holy parents, Saint Joachim and Saint Anne, inspired by God, gave Her the name of Mary. The name Mary means Lady, and also Star of the Sea.
Just to say Her holy name is a prayer. It gives everyone who does so favor with God and power over the devil. Pope Innocent XI, recently beatified by the Catholic Church, set up the feast of the Holy Name of Mary in 1683, to thank Her for the victory which the Catholic army under John Sobieski, King of Poland, gained over the Turks (Mohammedans), who were trying to sack Vienna and move in and conquer all the Catholics of the west.
Mary's name occurs in the first part and in the second part of the Hail Mary. In the middle of the Hail Mary, one speaks the Holy Name of Jesus.
Great apostles of the Holy Name of Mary have been: Saint Anthony of Padua and Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. says "O most holy Virgin Mary, your name is so sweet and so admirable that one cannot say it without becoming inflamed with love toward God and toward you.
Another great apostle of the Holy Name of Mary is Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, Her namesake.
In today's Epistle for the Mass of The Holy Name of Mary (Eccl. 24:23-31) we read
"In me is all grace of the way and of the truth, in me is all hope of life and of virtue."
as Saint Alphonsus relates,
"Our Life, our Sweetness and our Hope! At times, when it seems as though there is no help and you are beyond hope, turn to Her to intercede for you, for Her Son cannot refuse Her anything that She wants. Her Heavenly Spouse and Her Creator, are eagerly waiting to fill Her every wish, especially for Her children. Be thou then Her child that She may be unto thee your mother."
The Highest Principle in the Church:
"We are first of all under obedience to God, and only then under obedience to man." -

Come, O Mary, come with the sweetness that always accompanies thee. Come to me in my trials. Come to encourage me and to bring me the grace of thy Divine Son, Jesus. Dearest Mother, no sooner have I confided to thee my sorrows, than already I feel consoled. Thy name alone is a balm for my wounds.
--Thomas a Kempis

Please pray for Bishop Richard Williamson, a noble prelate and hand-picked successor of Archbishop Lefebvre whose Catholic wisdom and zeal for the truth have inspired many Traditional Catholics.
On October 23, 2012, the good Bishop was cast out of the SSPX, where he had labored tirelessly for 36 years.
His continued membership in the neo-SSPX would have made a premature union with Rome more difficult.
He is committed to defending Catholic Tradition in all its purity in the SSPX Resistance, as the
true successor
of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, continuing the fight the SSPX once fought.

RepoWatchdog watches for changes to Enterprise Architect repository items and announces detected changes by email and/or writes them to a file.
Download RepoWatchdog installer and follow the installation steps on the screen. Please note, that RepoWatchdog has following requirements for running:
Microsoft Windows 7 or later, (32/64 bit),
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 or later.
RepoDoc works with following repository types:
For initial setup and configuration of connection to your repository, please follow the Sparx Systems Help.
Once you have finished the installation you can start RepoWatchdog from the command line.
RepoWatchdog watches for changes to Enterprise Architect repository items and announces detected changes by an email and/or writes them to a file. It works in one of two modes:
in a periodic mode, the watchdog checks the repository continuously for changes with a specific period,
in a batch mode, the watchdog checks the repository once and looks for changes between specific dates.
RepoWatchdog works by analyzing the audit log and for this reason the audit log must be enabled in the project.
Following are the examples how to use RepoWatchdog. Parameters between
< and
> have to be substituted with real values.
RepoWatchdog.exe -c DSN=<dsn> -s <smtp_server> --username <username> --password <password> --from <sender_email> --to <recipient_email>
RepoWatchdog.exe -c DSN=<dsn> -s <smtp_server> --username <username> --password <password> --from <sender_email> --to <recipient_email> -l info -p 60
RepoWatchdog.exe -c DSN=<dsn> -b 20170501-20170531 -t "c:\Program Files (x86)\Archimetes\RepoWatchdog\Templates\File.liquid"
Be careful when using batch mode with the default mail template. It may cause to send too many mails as each change is sent in a separate mail. Use the file template in these cases or create your own mail template to announce all changes in a single email.
Custom emails and output files
The content of emails and files produced by RepoWatchdog is determined by templates and RepoWatchdog comes with two pre-installed templates for sending changes by emails or writing them to a file.
These default templates may be found in the installation directory which typically is
c:\Program Files (x86)\Archimetes\RepoWatchdog\Templates\.
You are free to copy and modify these templates to achieve different formats of emails and output files.
By modifying the templates you can group changes together or send one email will all changes.
RepoWatchdog doesn't use own templating language, but instead relies on Liquid template language. Please have a look on the introduction to Liquid if you are not familiar with it.
Beside the standard Liquid objects, tags and filters, RepoWatchdog introduces these additional objects and filters:
dsncontains the user supplied data source name argument.
modecontains either the value
batchdepending on the mode in which RepoWatchdog runs.
end_datecontain the user given dates when the watchdog runs in
batchmode and are empty otherwise.
changesis an array of objects containing information about the changes that have been found. Each array item contains following information:
typecontains the type of the change: INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE.
item_namecontains the repository item name that has been changed. This is typically the name found in the Project browser in Enterprise Architect.
item_guidcontains the GUID of the repository item that has been changed.
item_typecontains the type of the repository item that has been changed. Possible values include Package, Class, Actor, Component … See the Element class attributes and look for Type attribute for all values.
user_namecontains the user name or login of the user that made the change.
propertiesis an array of objects containing information about the changed properties. Each array item contains following information:
nameof the property, like Name, Alias, Notes …
old_valuecontains the old (original) value.
new_valuecontains the new (modified) value.
send_emailfilter sends an email using the smtp settings provided as input arguments. The subject and body have to be provided in the template as objects:
{{ mail_body | send_email: mail_subject }}
write_filefilter writes to a file. The content and path have to be provided in the template as objects:
{{ file_content | write_file: file_path }}
RepoWatchdog outputs information to the console and log file depending on the log level. The log level is determined by the config file in the installation directory, but may also be set using commandline argument to one of the following values: error, warn, info and debug. The config file uses log4net format.
Use the info or debug levels to troubleshoot and use the default (warn) level for normal operations.
RepoWatchdog is able to look for changes in following repository items: models, packages, elements, diagrams, attributes, operations, operation parameters.
Without a valid license key, the RepoWatchdog works only with models, packages, elements and diagrams. Time limited trial license key is available for free and can be simply obtained by running the command bellow.

NILES, Mich. (WNDU) - We all love flowers, but buying your own arrangements can get pretty pricey. So why not do it yourself this Easter?
Phil Hurlbutt is the owner of The Flower Cart in Niles, and he says it doesn't have to cost much to 'wow' your guests for Easter dinner.
You can purchase inexpensive figurines at any store and assemble a center piece for your table from the spring flowers growing in your garden.
And when you do pick the flowers from your garden, be sure to cut the stems with a knife rather than scissors.
"When you're cutting with a knife, you're basically giving the flower more to drink from," Hurlbutt said. "Then if you take scissors or wire cutters, what you're doing to it, you're crushing the pores."
And happening Wednesday through Saturday, customers who mention "WNDU" at the Flower Cart will receive 10% off their purchase.

The cash-strapped state-owned enterprise has declared that it is technically insolvent and is desperate to turn things around fast.The Broadcasting, Electronic, Media & Allied Workers Union (Bemawu) and the Communication Workers' Union (CWU), the two biggest trade unions inside the SABC, have asked staffers to wear black on Wednesday in the face of the looming retrenchments.The last time SABC staffers donned black in a silent protest was in 2016 in an open revolt against then-Chief Operating Officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng.During lunch time on Friday, SABC staffers will publicly protest and picket outside the SABC's Auckland Park headquarters in Johannesburg as well as at the SABC's regional offices countrywide. A memorandum will also be handed over to SABC management and Communication Minister Nomvula Mokonyane.The picket is expected to continue next week.* Sign up to Fin24's top news in your inbox: SUBSCRIBE TO FIN24 NEWSLETTER

This dissertation presents a new hybrid fault current limiter (FCL) topology that is primarily intended to protect single-phase power equipment. It can however be extended to protect three phase systems but would need three devices to protect each individual phase. In comparison against the existing fault current limiter technology, the salient fea-tures of the proposed topology are: a) provides variable impedance that provides a 50% reduction in prospective fault current; b) near instantaneous response time which is with-in the first half cycle (1-4 ms); c) the use of semiconductor switches as the commutating switch which produces reduced leakage current, reduced …

Battery energy storage has shown a lot of potential in the recent past to be effective in various grid services due to its near instantaneous ramp rates and modularity. This thesis aims to determine the commercial viability of customer premises and substation sited battery energy storage systems. Five different types of services have been analyzed considering current market pricing of Lithium-ion batteries and power conditioning equipment. Energy Storage Valuation Tool 3.0 (Beta) has been used to exclusively determine the value of energy storage in the services analyzed. The results indicate that on the residential level, Lithium-ion battery energy storage may …

This thesis concerns with the impact of renewable generation resources on the power system stability. The rapidly increasing integration of renewable energy sources into the grid can change the way power systems operate and respond to system disturbances. This is because the available inertia from synchronous machines, which helps in damping system oscillations, gets reduced as an increase in renewables like wind and solar photovoltaics is accompanied by a decrease in conventional generators. This aspect of high penetration of renewables has the potential to affect the rotor angle stability and small signal stability of power systems. The system with increased …

Constraint relaxation by definition means that certain security, operational, or financial constraints are allowed to be violated in the energy market model for a predetermined penalty price. System operators utilize this mechanism in an effort to impose a price-cap on shadow prices throughout the market. In addition, constraint relaxations can serve as corrective approximations that help in reducing the occurrence of infeasible or extreme solutions in the day-ahead markets. This work aims to capture the impact constraint relaxations have on system operational security. Moreover, this analysis also provides a better understanding of the correlation between DC market models and AC …

The power system is the largest man-made physical network in the world. Performing analysis of a large bulk system is computationally complex, especially when the study involves engineering, economic and environmental considerations. For instance, running a unit-commitment (UC) over a large system involves a huge number of constraints and integer variables. One way to reduce the computational expense is to perform the analysis on a small equivalent (reduced) model instead on the original (full) model. The research reported here focuses on improving the network reduction methods so that the calculated results obtained from the reduced model better approximate the performance …

Electric power systems are facing great challenges from environmental regulations, changes in demand due to new technologies like electric vehicle, as well as the integration of various renewable energy sources. These factors taken together require the development of new tools to help make policy and investment decisions for the future power grid. The requirements of a network equivalent to be used in such planning tools are very different from those assumed in the development of traditional equivalencing procedures. This dissertation is focused on the development, implementation and verification of two network equivalencing approaches on large power systems, such as the …

Community Risk Reduction / Office of the Fire Marshal
The Community Risk Reduction Division is responsible for identifying and prioritizing local risks and provide mitigating strategies to reduce their occurrence and impact. The Division is comprised of a Fire Marshal (Deputy Chief Rank), two (2) Assistant Fire Marshals (Plans Review and Inspections), three (3) Fire Inspectors, one (1) Life Safety Educator and one (1) part-time Administrative Assistant. The Community Risk Reduction Division also serves to educate the citizens in all aspects of fire and life safety. Along with a comprehensive list of education objectives, fire inspectors provide a number of other inspection services including tent, blasting, daycare, foster care, fireworks usage, hazardous materials inventory, underground tank removal, and other types of courtesy inspections.
The division is divided into three areas:
Prevention/Enforcement/Code Compliance
Fire inspectors provide a number of inspection services including annual inspections, occupancy load establishment, tent, blasting, daycare, foster care, fireworks usage, hazardous materials inventory, underground tank removal, and other types of courtesy inspections. Each structure or occupancy is inspected for hazards. If any hazards are found, they are listed so that the owner or occupant can correct them. Enforcement of the fire code allows for identification and correction of unsafe conditions within a property which are a danger to the community and firefighters. This schedule governs the frequency of inspections based on occupancy classification. Schools are inspected twice every year:
Once every year
Once every 2 years
Industrial and Educational (except public schools)
Once every 3 years
Plan Review
The Plan Review section is responsible for reviewing site and building construction plans to ensure that they are designed in compliance with the NC Building and Fire Prevention Codes. These personnel also review fire protection equipment plans for accuracy prior to approving their installation. Fire Inspectors are involved with every aspect of construction, from blueprint plan review to final acceptance testing of all fire protection equipment before occupancy is granted.
The Fire and Life Safety Educator is responsible for educating the public in topics that will help their family stay safe in the event of an emergency. This can range from an audience from toddler to senior citizens. Some of the programs the department has in place cover fire safety, Child Passenger Seat, home smoke alarm checks, inclement weather preparedness, Senior Fire and Fall Safety, and soon a Fire Citizens academy. Wilson Fire and Rescue Services can host a tour of any of the 5 fire stations and tour the Fire and Life Safety Adventure House. The adventure house is not for entertainment but covers a variety of fire safety and other emergency topics. The overall goal is to create awareness programs that are specific for the needs of our community.
Contact Life Safety Educator Shauna Allen-Smith at 252-399-2841 or email at email@example.com to schedule a program.

Almost all marketing is designed to engender self-doubt and paranoia. There are various reasons for this but the main one is that companies can't sell confident people shit that they neither need nor want so they have to create hungers and longings, effectively manufacturing voids in people's lives which then ache to be filled. Are you pretty enough? Are you thin enough? Are you popular enough? Are you confident enough? (Of course you aren't, they've damn well seen to that.)
In order to exist with but a facsimile of happiness in a world where even the dreams aren't real anymore, where marketed commodities have replaced aspiration and ambition, it is suddenly necessary to have all the latest toys in order to be complete. Cosmetic surgery is now an essential (and considered normal!) because we've all been told that we must look like some fabricated, unattainable ideal. Diets, pills, foods, technology – every spare inch of space in our worlds is taken up by placards and messages telling us who we ought to be and what we ought to look like: wear this, watch this, eat this, read this – it never ends.
"If you haven't got [insert shiny piece of crap that will apparently make your life whole] then you must be poor." Or, of course, you might just be an individual who is capable of making their own decisions without having to be told what to have and what to want; but there's no better technique of marketing than setting people up against each other, competing to be the biggest consumer. Thanks to the force-feeding of aspirations and desires, we have virtually re-created crime because nothing is an ambition any more, everything is a must-have demanding instant gratification. People ask themselves where the anti-social underclass has come from: we have created them.
It should be no surprise that mental illness and depression are running at all-time highs in western society – they are a product of the corporate capitalist pursuit in a world where there is no solid grounding because nothing is real; we are all squabbling and competing to get to the top of the steaming heap of crap when we should be moving together – but you can't sell peace and harmony (though don't doubt for one moment that they'll try to sell you the illusion: we've all seen the 'well-being' aisle in the supermarkets). Understanding and contentment aren't things you can buy, they are things that you find inside yourself when you come to terms with your identity and see that there is no price-tag on your soul.
There is no message here except think for yourselves – if you don't have the freedom to carve your own dreams then you have no real freedom at all.

Following a family reunion in the Seattle area, Christin, her husband Adam, & their son Luke drove up to visit me! We had no problem picking up where we left off, sharing much enjoyment and laughter during our time together. It was fun to speak with Adam, and I quickly learned I could speak openly and freely with him as with Christin. Luke is a highly inquisitive little boy, finding plenty to explore both inside the home and out.
On our last full day together, Christin & I got to spend some girl time together -- chatting, catching a movie, grabbing a late lunch, and sharing good conversation and a couple bottles of wine into the wee, small hours of the morning (just like old times, except for the two bottles of wine, maybe). It was far too short a visit and I am already pricing plane tickets to Texas!
Here are a few photo highlights from our time together ...
Luke was very amused by the air mattresses we blew up for Mommy & Daddy
Luke emptied the crate we use for some of our recycling, put it in the middle of the living room floor, and cozied up with a good book.
How could you not love this smile?
Adam & Luke throwing rocks into the water
The remainder of our afternoon in Vancouver was spent at Science World. This is a highly interactive science museum geared toward kids ... but I think the grow-ups have their fair share of fun here too!
Outside Science World
Adam tests his reflexes
We also spent some time in my hometown. One morning, we met my Dad at his favorite donut shop before exploring more of Bellingham.
Luke has fun pushing the swing at Whatcom Falls Park
Luke can't wait to take off on those trails!
Adam & Luke observing Whatcom Falls

Christin, Adam, & Luke
Worn out with his days of exploring, Luke finally gets a chance to rest his head ...
I am so thankful that I got to host them for the few days they were here. Thanks for visiting, Christin & Adam!! You are always welcome here. Missing you already ...

You write "... first it passes through the bright filter, which brightens the shades, then it goes through the dark filter ...".
As far as I read the code:
.reduce( (filter, next) -> filter.compose(next))
then the next filter will be applied first. So it's actually the dark filter that is applied first and then the bright filter. From the Function javadoc:
* Returns a composed function that first applies the {@code before}
* function to its input, and then applies this function to the result.

If I have understood right example
"wrapper = target.compose(next);"
isn't really same as
"temp = target.apply(input);
return next.apply(temp);"
since compose means that argument is executed first
"default <V> Function<V,R> compose(Function<? super V,? extends T> before)"
Again, if I have understood right everything would be as explained if there would be "andThen" in use instead of "compose"
"default <V> Function<T,V> andThen(Function<? super R,? extends V> after)"

Regarding the RodCutterMemoized Concurrency issue mentioned in #84133 and #86676:
For anyone trying the suggested quick fix in #86676: Of course it also requires a check for existing Keys, otherwise there is no memoisation feature. One way of doing it:
In Memoizer.java replace the line:
return store.computeIfAbsent(input, key -> function.apply(this, key));
With those 2 lines:
if (!store.containsKey(input)) store.put(input, function.apply(this, input));
return store.get(input);

store.put(input, value);

Everyone's favorite foster care blogger, Fosterhood, talked way back in the day (what, I have a long memory) about how inappropriate the movie "Heidi" turned out to be for children in foster care. I'm sure it's happened to all of us. You have fond memories of a something from your childhood, show it to the children in your life, then realize how bizarre it was for you to have ever enjoyed this.
Like when my mother read "The Velveteen Rabbit" to my brother and me, and had two sobbing children on her hands. (We were only three and five, but that book is sad.) Or when my aunt thought the 1970s version of The Poseiden Adventure would make for a great family night, for the kids too young to go see Terminator 2. Her eight year old daughter cried for hours, and swore off nautical adventures for a lifetime. And I haven't showed it to a kid yet, but I watched Labyrinth a whole lot as a child. That movie's alternate title is ""David Bowie's Balls. Also Puppets!"
It's even more complicated when you have children who are in foster care, or in some other sort of shitty familial situation. You don't always know how they'll react. When one of my girls was in a psychiatric hospital, the book Precious started going around, and eventually they did a movie night. Yes, some girls related, but it was also traumatizing and offensive to others. Sorry, but no one wants to hear, "Precious? That movie totally reminded me of you!"
Movies are tricky. Stories geared towards children have a profound fascination with horrible lives for children. Harsh orphanages, evil stepparents, and more dead mothers than you can shake a stick at. Plus tons of young women who see a man as their savior. I mean, come on Cinderella. You could have made bank if you worked with the mice to start your own fashion line, instead of chasing after a prince you hardly know.
On the subject of Disney, my goodness do they deserve credit for getting better. Mulan, Tiana…I can think of way worse role models.
I'm trying to determine which are good, which are maybe all right, and which should be avoided at all costs.
Big Daddy
I'm putting this in the avoid like the plague column, and not because it's Adam Sandler. Though I do think we kind of said all we need to say right around Happy Gilmore. I saw this movie in theaters with my aunt and two cousins, both of whom are adopted. Everyone was just a little uncomfortable. The kid getting dropped off at the door, about to be snatched away until a biological parent (genes trump all!) shows up out of nowhere. It was a weird message.
I'm listing this one as "OK." In the negative column, kids should not be expecting a bald millionare to swoop in and rescue them. There's also a lot of talk about unwanted orphans and them being used for cheap labor. On the other hand, it's a period piece. Things were shitty in the 1930s, and now they're shitty in a totally different way! Annie doesn't magically find a way to be happy by discovering a living relative (like in that unforgiveable Shirley Temple version of A Little Princess) but she makes it work. And you can totally convince your kids to clean your house until it shines like the top of the Chrysler Building, because they're "playing" Annie! Trust me on that last one. I was so foolish.
No no no no no no no. One of the mothers I work with was planning to become a foster parent. Her eight year old biological daughter saw this movie, and became convinced that any foster child that came to them would be a murderous dwarf.
Despicable Me
This one does feature the orphan warehouse trope that I don't care for, and kids being brought back from whence they came, so it's questionable. But overall, I think it's ok. We wind up with a non-traditional, imperfect, happy family. And SocialJerk kids love those minions.
Problem Child
I watched this a LOT. I borderline aspired to be like it. Whatever, it was the 90s. But the message that your parents will "return you" if you're bad is not one anyone needs. There should be a secure attachment test in order to see it.
Lilo & Stitch
This might be my strongest yes. Not just because this movie is freakin awesome and hilarious. Not even because it features a social worker named "Cobra Bubbles." (Though it does. It really, awesomely does.) The story is about a (non-white) little girl in kinship care. Of course there's still the reopening of the scary social worker coming to check on them and maybe take the kid away, but at least for once she isn't in an old school orphanage that more closely resembles a modern animal shelter. And the fact that the social worker is genuinely trying to help, while being a total badass comes across nicely. It also ends with the line, "This is my family. I found them all on my own. Is little, and broken, but still good. Yeah. Still good."
I mean, come ON!
Country Bears
Now, I'll be honest, I've never seen this movie. You know, because it's based on a Disney ride and isn't the first Pirates of the Caribbean. I just remember the commercial, in which a bear asked his human family, "Mom? Am I adopted?" To which she replied, "What? Of course not!" I think I remember it so well because of the tear my aunt went on about the idea of denying that your kids are adopted like it's something bad. So no.
Hunger Games
This movie is not about kids in foster care, for once, but it is about a couple of kids with a profoundly shitty situation. I can think of a whole bunch of parentified children who can relate to an absent dad and mentally ill mom, fight to the death notwithstanding. It's relatable, but also clearly fantasy, so it's not too much. And girls can totally kick ass and shoot arrows.
A Series of Unfortunate Events
I love Lemony Snicket. So does just about every kid I know. It's exactly what it sounds like. These kids' lives are unpleasant. But the real theme of the move (and the books) I think, can be summed up in the following quote: "And that might seem to be a series of unfortunate events, may, in fact, be the first steps of a journey." Yes. Things are rough, but we're moving forward.
Of course, whenever in doubt, just stick with everyone's favorite magic orphan.

A Jot of Academic Advice
At Death Weapon Meister Academy, NOT student Tsugumi Harudori is in class with Anya Hepburn, Meme Tatane, Kim Diehl, and Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupré.
After class, Anya and Meme look with some annoyance as Tsugumi spots her mentor, Maka Albarn, along with other EAT students Soul Eater and Black☆Star.
A Jot Below
Maka and Tsugumi say hello to each other. Tsugumi then examines her own body shape with some concern. Soul gestures to Maka and says they finally found someone with smaller breasts than Maka.
A Jot I've Seen
While Maka and Tsugumi are speaking with each other happily, Soul and Anya look at each other with some concern. They then recognize each other simultaneously. Shocked, Soul clutches Anya by her wrist and drags her away, confusing Maka, Tsugumi, and Meme. Down the hall, Soul and Anya crouch down and whisper to each other: Soul remembers that he once gave a concert at Anya's castle. Soul also explains that he has tried to distance himself from his previous wealthy lifestyle. Anya smirks and mocks Soul for his outfit, which annoys him.
While Soul and Anya talk, Tsubaki Nakatsukasa approaches Meme Tatane, recognizing her from their time training together in Japan. Tsugumi notices Meme seems a bit nervous as she continues speaking with Tsubaki until Black☆Star leads Tsubaki away. When Tsubaki departs, Tsugumi sees Meme put her hands over her face and explain she had to fake kindness to Tsubaki: she does not remember ever meeting her.
A Jot in Common
Tsugumi says to Maka that their NOT and EAT friends all have prior involvement with each other before coming to Death City, but they do not. Maka notices that at least she and Tsugumi both have pigtails. Tsugumi agrees--then is shocked to see Maka twirls her pigtails like propeller blades.
Manga and Anime Differences
- This chapter is the first time in Soul Eater NOT! that Soul Eater wears his original uniform from the manga Soul Eater.
- This chapter is Tsubaki Nakatsukasa's first appearance in the manga Soul Eater NOT!

Two jobs, one formula
H.Ro's mantra to losing fat and gaining muscle.
1. Gaining weight and losing fat have a few common basics. Here are the general guidelines I follow…
2. With a slow metabolism, it's impossible to achieve either goal. So eat every three hours (don't go hungry for a minute more!)
3. Drink at least four litres of water every day.
4. Start your day with cardio, do weights on two days, then take one day off . Do light cardio post your weights session, and also on off days.
5. Building muscle will speed fat loss.
6. Consistency is the key. Even if you do less but do it every day, you will definitely see results.

Ted Koppel's Show about Prisons
But that's an interesting point, too, come to think of it. Does thinking about the Apocalypse make you more accepting and dismissive of societal ills, since you expect them to be wiped clean in the near future? That'd be an interesting and very dangerous dynamic to Apocalyptic thinking, and one I've long suspected is going on with things like the Left Behind series and other Christian obsessions with the End Times.

It's hard to imagine why two neighbours would together spend as much as $50,000 on legal fees in a court fight over a strip of land between their houses that measures only 0.14 of a metre (5.5 inches) at its widest.
This dispute took place between two houses on Chisholm Ave., in the Main and Danforth area of Toronto's east end.
William Keys owns one of the houses. His family has owned the house continuously since his great-grandparents bought it in 1923. Evidence at the trial showed that during the time the current owner and his father lived at the home, a fence divided the backyards. A 1966 land survey showed that this fence was actually several inches south of the actual deed line, encroaching onto the property of Christopher Reid.
In 2014, Reid commissioned a survey which showed the fence cut into his land. Until then, the location of the fence had never been an issue between the neighbours. Reid then had his contractors demolish the old fence and build a new one right on the property line.
Reid gave no notice to Keys that the fence would be relocated.
Last year, Keys' lawyer Michael Carlson brought an application to Superior Court claiming "adverse possession" — squatter's rights — of the strip of land between the property line and the location of the old fence.
The disputed land measures 16.96 metres long (about 55.6 feet) and 0.07 metres to 0.14 metres wide (2.7 inches to 5.5 inches).
In her ruling on the matter in February, Justice Beth A. Allen set out the tests for a landowner to succeed in a claim for adverse possession:
Justice Allen quoted an earlier Ontario Court of Appeal ruling stating that possession of the land must be "open, notorious, peaceful, adverse, exclusive, actual and continuous."
Justice Allen reviewed the evidence and concluded that "the fence enclosed the disputed land in the Keys' backyard from at least 1966 and perhaps as far back as 1923. There is no evidence to contradict this.
"This, to my mind," wrote Allen, "establishes Mr. Keys and his predecessors had actual possession of the disputed land" and that he has a "crystallized adverse possessory right."
Allen granted Keys' application for an order giving him title to the disputed strip, and his costs of the proceedings.
