Use Powershell to Play Random MP3s
Date: 27 November 2019
I've been playing with tools to help make my game streams easier. One of the things that I wanted to do was to play random MP3 from a directory. Here's a little Powershell to get it done.
Here's the powershell. Drop this in a file named
Import-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.Management
$file = gci -Path "$directory\*.mp3" | Get-Random -Count 1
& $mpg123 $file
The first thing you need is mpg123. You can
install this anywhere but you need to know the path to
mpg123.exe. You can use that to replace the path that is set in the
I have a directory named
win that contains a bunch of MP3s of movie
quotes that I play on the rare times I win a round of Apex
Legends. That's passed to the
-directory argument.
powershell.exe -NoLogo -NonInteractive -WindowStyle Hidden -executionpolicy bypass -File play-random.ps1 -directory win
That's great. Huzzah and stuff. Now, I'd like to be able to run this at the touch of a button. There are a number of ways to do that. I can create a hot key for each directory in OBS Studio but even better are tools like Up Deck or Mix It Up. The problem with both of those is they don't play well with the arguments.
To get around that, I had to create a simple batch file for each directory, like so.
chdir "C:\Users\username\audio-clips\"
powershell.exe -NoLogo -NonInteractive -WindowStyle Hidden -executionpolicy bypass -File play-random.ps1 -directory win
Ooo, aaah. Now all that needs to be done is to configure a button that runs the batch file. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Jon Rubin Quotes
Frankly, in order for us to have a healthier arts eco-system funders need to insulate their relationships with artists from the influence of moneyed interests, lobbying groups, and politics. The funders shouldn't have to parse their words, or say one thing to one group and another to another. One statement, freedom of expression, end of story.
We've always defined conflict fairly broadly from ideological conflict to troops on the ground. For quite some time we've talked about a focus on Palestine. Certainly no one can deny that Israel is conflict with Palestine and no one can deny that the U.S. is the largest supporter of Israel internationally - not only financially, but also in the United Nations where the United States is one of the very few countries that does not recognize Palestine as a state.
The criticisms that are often presented to us by some in the conservative Jewish community about our Palestinian version are: first, that the U.S. is not in conflict with "Palestine" (quotes are theirs) and second, that Conflict Kitchen should counter the Palestinian viewpoints it presents with pro-Israeli viewpoints, otherwise we are spreading dangerous propaganda.
When we travel for research our strategy is to simply move from kitchen to kitchen. It's truly a wonderful way to travel - food shopping, cooking and eating in one home for lunch and then another for dinner. The process of cooking takes us immediately into the rituals and rhythms of daily life and also places us firmly in the position of learners. We were meet with incredible generosity by all of the families we ate with.
As an artist who lives here and wants a more sophisticated engagement between local social dynamics and global discourse, it's great to see that reflected via the relationships we've developed with our customers. For some people it's a political act to eat from us three days a week because they recognize they are financially supporting the premise of the project each time they come. 95% of our annual revenue is purely from the public via food sales.
Well, it's pretty ironic to get an artist achievement award from the same foundation that disavowed one of my artistic achievements (that they had also earlier funded). It's a goddamn brainteaser. The Endowment had reinforced the worst bullying tactics of powerful lobbying groups and had created a less-secure environment for their own funded project to do its work in

(March 24, 2015) Researchers combine two types of photovoltaic material to make a cell that harnesses more sunlight.
Researchers at MIT and Stanford University have developed a new kind of solar cell that combines two different layers of sunlight-absorbing material in order to harvest a broader range of the sun's energy. The development could lead to photovoltaic cells that are more efficient than those currently used in solar-power installations, the researchers say.

The leaves and seeds of Crotalaria retusa were evaluated for the proximate, mineral and anti-nutritional contents in a completely randomized design. Atomic absorption spectrometry was used in determination of the seeds and leaves for phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron. Anti-nutritional factors (ANFs) including tannin, oxalate and phytate were also determined using appropriate technique. The result of proximate analysis indicated that leaves and seeds had high crude protein (18.00% and 14.63%), dry matter (94.78% and 90.98%), Ash (7.00% and 8.02%), crude fiber for both leaves (12.75%) and seed (28.44%) and the ether extract was (4.60%) and (5.03%) for leaves and seeds respectively. Mineral analysis indicated the Crotalaria retusa leave and seeds contained some essential mineral such as %P (0.37%) leave and (0.47%) seeds, %K (0.97%, 0.68%), %Mg (0.48%, 0.64%), %Ca (0.58%, 0.78%) and Fe (76.10 mg/kg) for leaves and (70.10 mg/kg) seeds of Crotalaria retusa. The leaves and seeds of Crotalaria retusa had low concentration of anti-nutrient factors; phytate (0.01%) leave and (0.06%) seed, oxalate (0.07%) leave and (0.09%) seed, tannin contents were (0.02%) and (0.05%) for leaves and seeds respectively. The overall results suggested that Crotalaria retusa leaves and seeds were of high nutritionally quality due to high protein and mineral contents with low presence of anti-nutritional factors.

Crotalaria retusa Leaves, Seed, Proximate, Mineral Contents and Anti-Nutritional Factors
1. Introduction
Pasture is a major agricultural resource that supports both intensive and extensive livestock made of production. One of the major problems confronting animal production in Nigeria, more especially in arid and semi-arid zone is wide variability in the quality of feed over the feeding/grazing period, attributable to variation in weather and climate [1] .
At peak of dry season, with the depletion of crop residues and forage supply from native rangeland coupled with overgrazing and bush fire, the consequences are inadequate supply feed and loss of body weight, low milk yield and poor reproductive performance of livestock [2] .
Ruminant animals contribute substantially to the world's human food supply, especially in the marginal areas of the tropics where population is on the increase [3] . However, for these animals to play a leading role in food supplies, their nutrient requirement will have to be given adequate attention. Forage is the cheapest and major nutritional component in the diets of ruminant animals, particularly in rural and sub-urban areas of the tropics [4] .
They are mostly sourced from native or natural pastures which are generally poor in terms of quality and quantity that can sustain animals throughout the year [1] . Efforts to improve animal nutrition during the dry season have led to a shift to the use of forage browse legumes.
Rattle box (Crotalaria retusa) plant is a rather common leguminous plant that seems less considered in pasture and range production in the ruminant's enterprise. Crotalaria retusa plant is a promising feed resource in the tropics because the plant is in full leaf and green at the peak of the dry season when other feeds are typically scarce [5] .
This study was therefore designed to screen for proximate composition, mineral contents and anti-nutrient factors present in the leaves and seeds of Crotalaria retusa.
2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Experimental Site
The experiment was carried out at Teaching and Research Farm, Pasture Unit of Oyo State College of Agriculture and Technology, Igboora in the derived Savannazone of Nigeria. The College is located within 7˚15' North and 3˚30' East of the equator with average annual rainfall of 1278 mm and average annual temperature of 27˚C [6] .
2.2. Collection of Plant Materials
The leaves and seeds of Crotalaria retusa L. were obtained from pasture demonstrated unit, Teaching and Research Farm of the college. The seeds were then separated from their shells/pod having dried appropriately, milled with blender and stored in air-tight containers until required for analysis.
2.3. Proximate Analysis
The leaves and seeds were analyzed for moisture content, ash, crude fat, crude protein and crude fiber which were determined in accordance with the standard methods of the [7] . Crude fat was determined by exhaustively extracting samples in a soxhlet apparatus using any hydrous diethyl ether as the solvent.
Crude protein determination involved the use of routine Kjeldhal nitrogen assay (NX 6.25). Crude fibre estimates were obtained from the loss in weight on ignition of dried residue following the digestion of fat free sample with 1.25% each of sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide solution under specified condition.
2.4. Mineral Analysis
The minerals such as K, P, Mg, Ca and Fe were determined by the atomic absorption spectrophotometric method. The samples which were digested in acid solution of HNO3 and perchloric acid [8] were passed through Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) using different lamps and calibrated or different micronutrients. Potassium was determined through lame photometer after acid digestion. Phosphorus was determined spectrophotometrically using the Vendatessolution [9] .
2.5. Anti-Nutritional Factor
Oxalic acid was estimated quantitatively by redox titration with standard potassium permanganate according to the procedure of Day and Underwood [10] . Saponin was determined using the method similar to that of Hudson and El-Difrawl [11] , phytic acid determined in accordance with the procedure of Ruales and Nair [12] . Tannic acid was determined in accordance with the procedure of AOAC [7] .
2.6. Statistical Analysis
The data collected were subjected to analysis of variance in a completely randomized design and Student T test was used to separate the means.
3. Results and Discussions
3.1. Result
3.1.1. Proximate Composition
Table 1 shows the proximate contents of Crotalaria retusa leaves and seeds. Higher percentage value of dry matter contents were observed for both leaves (94.78%) and seeds (80.98%). The percentage crude protein contents recorded
Table 1. Proximate contents of Crotalaria retusa leaf and seeds.
for both leaves (18.00%) and seeds (14.63%) were favourably higher. Higher values of crude protein recorded for both leave and seeds in the present study were above 7% CP requirement for ruminant animals which will provide ammonia requirement by the rumen micro-organisms to support optimum microbial activity.
The crude fibre content indicated that seeds (28.44%) contained high value compared to leaves (12.75%). Seeds (5.03%) contained appreciable amount of ether extract compared to (4.60%) for the leaves of Crotalaria retusa. The ash content of seed (8.02%) was evidently higher than that of leaves (7.00%) of the Crotalaria retusa.
3.1.2. Mineral Analysis
The mineral analysis of both leaves and seeds of Crotalaria retusa indicated their richness in Phosphorus, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium and Iron as presented in Table 2. The levels of Phosphorus (0.37%), Potassium (0.97%), Magnesium (0.48%), Calcium (0.58%) and Iron (76.10 mg/kg) in leaves of Crotalaria retusa compared to seeds that had. Phosphorus (0.47%), Potassium (0.68%), Magnesium (0.64%), Calcium (0.78%) and Iron 0.0 (70.10 mg/kg).
3.1.3. Level of Anti-Nutrient Factors
Table 3 shows the level of anti-nutrient factors present in both leaves and seeds of Crotalaria retusa. The anti-nutrient contents for Phytate (0.02%), Oxalate (0.09%) and Tannin (0.05%) were observed to be numerically higher in seed of Crotalaria retusa compared to leaves for phytate (0.02%), oxalate (0.07%) and tannin (0.02%) respectively.
3.2. Discussion
3.2.1. Proximate Composition
High dry matter contents were obtained for both seeds and leaves of Crotalaria retusa. The percentage ranged (90.98% - 93.78%), indicating high shelf ? life of the leave and seed, hence long storage would not lead to much spoilage due to its susceptibility to microbial attack especially of drying. The percentage Crude Protein of leaves (18.00%) and seeds (14.63.30%) were above 17.5% CP recorded for Stylosanthes hamata leaves [13] . The higher crude protein recorded for both seed and leaves of Crotalaria retusa in the present study was above 7% CP requirement for ruminant animal which will provide ammonia requirement by the
Table 2. Mineral composition of seed and leaves of Crotalaria retusa.
Table 3. Anti-nutritional factor present in seed and leaves of Crotalaria retusa.
rumenmicro-organism to support optimum microbial activity. Both leaves and seeds could serve as potential protein supplement and will enhance the intake and utilization of low quantity grass and fibrous crop residue by ruminants. The importance of protein to animal health cannot be overemphasized, therefore Crotalaria retusa seeds and leaves could be used as feed protein supplement.
The Ash content value of Crotalaria retusa were (7.00%) leave and (8.02%) in seed and was higher than. (0.11%) reported for Mucuna utilis leaves by [14] and above 5.0% in Bracystegia eurycome hanms seed [15] . The ash values for both seed and leaves obtained for the present study fell within the range of 3.0% - 9.65% [16] . Ash content useful in assessing the quality of mineral element present in the Crotalaria retusa leave and seeds. This suggests that the samples could be a better source of essential and has minerals needed for good body development.
Ether extract content of Crotalaria retusa were (5.03%) in seed and [4.60%] in leave which were higher than (1.89%) reported for Canavalia ensiformis leaves [13] . Also higher than the 1.9% Ether extract for lablab seed [17] . The values are also higher than the ether extract content (2.10% and 1.41%) of pigeon pea seed reported by [18] also higher than Phosphocarpus leave (4.10%) reported by [19] .
The Crude fiber content of Crotalaria retusa leave (16.75%) and seeds (20.40%) were above compared with (14.80%) of Mucuna utilis leaves reported by [14] and 23.80% for Stylosanthes hamata [20] . Persea ameneans seed contained 3.10% which lower than 8.10% recorded for Clitoria ternatea seed [21] . The crude fiber content of both seed and leaves samples fell within the range of 15% - 20% recommended for improved intake and production in finishing ruminant [22] .
3.2.2. Mineral Composition
The mineral analysis of a plant gives the idea of possibility either the plant should be used for any feeding trial purpose. The phosphorus content for leave (0.37%) and seed (0.47%) were higher compared to the NRC recommended value of 0.15% for Phosphorus [23] . The level of Phosphorus in both the seed and the leaves of Crotalaria retusa were consistently above the 0.2% level which would satisfy livestock dietary maintenance requirement [23] .
Phosphorus play an important role in carbohydrate, lipid and amino and metabolism. Phosphorus is also required for blood coagulation (thromboplastim) satisfactory bone calcification optimum growth rate and optimum utilization of both calcium and phosphorus.
The value of Potassium (%K) in both seed (0.68%) and leave (0.97%) were higher than (0.46% K) for Canavalia ensiformis leaves by [13] and for seed of Brachystegia eurycoma harms (0.25%). In the present investigation the level of %K in Crotalaria retusa leaves was over 0.18% recommended for grazing animals [24] . However, it has been suggested that ruminants with high productivity may require %K level above (1.0%) under stress particularly heat stress [25] . Potassium help to maintain body weight and regulate water and electrolyte balance in the blood and tissue [23] .
Magnesium (Mg) content for leave (0.48%) and seeds (0.64%) both were higher than value 0.20% reported for Canavalia ensiformis leave by [13] . The higher forage and seed Mg level found in this present study were above 0.12% - 0.20% of requirement of ruminants diet suggested by [23] . Magnesium is an important mineral element in connection with its role in circulatory disease such as ischemic heart disease and calcium metabolism in above [26] .
The Calcium (Ca) content of both seed (0.78%) and leave (0.58%) were higher than (0.09%) observed in Cannavalia ensiformis leave by [13] . The leaves and seed Ca values found in this study were considered adequate for the optimum performance of ruminants. The values of both leaves (0.58%) and seed (0.78%) of %Ca for Crotalaria retusa would meet the theoretical Ca requirement of 0.30% Ca diet needed for all forms of production in ruminants [27] . Calcium helps in the regulation of muscle contraction required by kid, weaner and is useful for bone and teeth development [28] .
The Iron (Fe) content of Crotalaria retusa leave (76.10 mg/Kg) and seed (70.0 mg/Kg) were higher compared to (10.58 mg/100 g) recorded for Iron content of Mucuna utilis leaves. Iron levels obtained for Clitoria leaves and seeds content in the present study were above (50 mg/kg) sufficient for requirement of ruminants for optimal performance and also above the critical levels of Fe in animal tissue (30 - 50 mg/kg) [25] . Iron is said to be an important element in the diets of pregnant animal, nursing animal, infant and other conditions disease [29] .
3.2.3. Anti-Nutritional Factor
Table 3 show the level of antinutritional factors in the Crotalaria retusa leaves and seed. The tannin obtained in the Crotalaria retusa leave (0.02%) and seed (0.05%) were lower than the 5% at which goats may reject feed [30] . Tannin at this level protects liable plant proteins in the rumen and consequently increases the supply of high quality protein into the duodenum [30] .
Phytate and oxalate content for both seed and leave of Crotalaria retusa are (0.06%) and (0.01%) while oxalate was (0.07%) leave and (0.09%) for seed, both were low in anti-nutritional contents. The phytic value was lower than the range of 3.74% and 3.24% reported for some legumes in Nigeria (31) while the oxalate contents was lower than 0.52 - 0.82 mg/100 g reported for some legumes consume by goats in Nigeria.
However, due to microbial fermentation in the rumen, ruminants, including goats can consume considerable amounts of plant with high oxalate content without adverse effects.
4. Conclusion and Recommendation
It can be concluded from the results of this study that the Crotalaria retusa leaves and seed appeared to have the potential as feed supplements. Higher content of protein and minerals combined with relatively low levels of anti-nutrient would make them good protein supplements to poor quality roughages especially during the dry season of the derived savanna zone of Nigeria.

Taiwanese food is very popular all over the world, but some of the dishes it proposes are hard to swallow even for natives. Take for example milkfish intestines, a delicacy that's difficult to look at, let alone swallow.
Milkfish is farmed on a large scale in Taiwan, not only for its meat but also its intestines, which are apparently the base of several dishes, including black fried intestines and milkfish intestine soup. Both are reportedly delicious, but you first have to get over the fact that they look like cooked worms, and even then, the idea of eating fish guts doesn't appeal to everyone. Southern Taiwan, which hosts the most milkfish farms, is reportedly more familiar with milkfish intestine dishes which have become somewhat of a local challenge for visitors.

Kylie Jenner, Michelle Obama, Serena Williams and other celebrities took to Instagram on Sunday to share sweet family photos and messages for Mother's Day 2019.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and Kylie Cosmetics founder posted a photo of her and partner Travis Scott's 1-year-old daughter Stormi Webster posing at a photo shoot.
"The best thing I've ever done, my greatest role in this life #HappyMothersDay," she wrote.
Her mother Kris Jenner also paid tribute to her mom, her daughters, and their kids—and she now has 10 grandchildren, as daughter Kim Kardashian and husband Kanye West welcomed their fourth child and second son via surrogate a few days ago. Not pictured: Kendall Jenner, her only daughter who is not a mom.
"Love you too mom!" she commented.
Also on Sunday, Khloe Kardashian also shared a sweet photo with daughter True Thompson, who recently turned 1. This marks her second Mother's Day and first as a single mom.
The former First Lady of the United States shared a photo of her and former President Barack Obama's daughter Malia and Sasha, and her own mother, Marian Shields Robinson.
"Growing up, every time I'd come home from school with a story to share, my mother was there with a snack and a listening ear to hear about what was on my mind," she wrote. "When I came home with a tale about my disastrous second-grade classroom, she marched into the school to figure out what was going on. And as I grew older, including up through my years as First Lady, she was always there for me as a guiding light through whatever fog was clouding my path. She's always listened more than she lectured; observed more than she demonstrated. In doing so, she allowed me to think for myself and develop my own voice."
"From an early age, she saw that I had a flame inside me, and she never tempered it," she continued. "She made sure that I could keep it lit. Mom, thank you for kindling that fire within me, and for your example as a mother and a grandmother to our girls. We would never be who we are today without you. #HappyMothersDay, Mom. Love you. ❤"
Serena shared a pic of her and husband Alexis Ohanian and their 1 and 1/2-year-old daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian, Jr. The three are sitting in bed with a Moana blanket, a Curious George doll and a laptop with a pink patterned cover bearing the letter "S" and the words "black girls code."

With the development of various designs, contemporary design begins to appear. The contemporary design itself is a variation of combining different designs with a new concept called current flow. Contemporary design is a new form that breaks with traditional design standards and is not a single design boundary. With such excellent and free development, it doesn't mean that contemporary design cannot recognized in interiors and architecture. Find out below the general features and characteristics of contemporary design that you need to know.
Maximum Lighting in Contemporary Design
The use of small windows in contemporary design often abandoned. Large windows and openings are available in a contemporary design.
Neutral and Metallic Color Selection with a Little Touch of Contrast
The use of achromatic colors such as white, black and gray is one of the hallmarks of the design. The use of these tones sometimes mixed and mixed with different colors such as red, yellow, blue and other colors to create a beautiful and elegant look.
Contemporary Design with the Use of Natural Materials
When it comes to the use of materials, natural and unfinished materials such as wood, stone and metal also often used in the design. Organic materials such as natural stone, various types of fabrics and recycled wood materials used as alternatives.
Lighter Design and Design and Start to make the Character of the Original Material as Finishing
Contemporary design eliminates the use of large furniture and prefers minimalist furniture with a lighter design. It said that the current design is more efficient than the special features of the equipment. This seen in the use of the original material of the material as part of contemporary design without any additional connections. Thus, the finished product is one of the hallmarks of contemporary design.
Openness to Contemporary Design Without Boundaries
The open concept is also an important part of contemporary design with minimal floor plans and space planning in the presence of partitions and walls. Many roles of a space are combined into one large space that often encountered in contemporary design.
Simple but Decorative Line Elements
The term generally applies to the exterior of contemporary design. As a decoration, phrase navigation used more than classic accessories.
Application of Technology That Gets More Attention to Contemporary Design
Due to the advancement of contemporary design in contemporary times, the use of technology is part of the design itself. The layout of electrical wiring, plumbing, contemporary lighting and a variety of technological applications are hallmarks of contemporary design.
Self-Expression and Breaking Out of Conventional Design Rules
As this is an evolution of the current variety of architectural design without borders, there will be elements designed in a certain style which are still present in contemporary design. A slightly classic or industrial touch is also found in contemporary designs.
These are some of the hallmarks of the contemporary development style. Take advantage of contemporary design to make your dreams come true? Congratulations on making your dream home a reality!

It's that magical time of year again. Mariah is playing on repeat, many an advent calendar door has been ripped open, and we ask ourselves how many times is too many times to watch Elf (answer: the limit does not exist).
With just a few days to go until the big day itself, Christmas 2020 is well underway. And with many of us spending more time at home this December, what could be more suitably festive than indulging in a homemade Christmas cocktail.
The appetite for cocktails à la living room has gone through the roof this year. With our favourite bars being closed for most of 2020, many of us have spent our evenings mastering the art of cocktail shaking from our newly curated home bar carts.
So, this festive season we've turned to creating some Christmas cocktails with the same DIY spirit. Because, while we might not be able to enjoy the usual crazy social calendars and office parties this year, we still deserve to enjoy sipping a seasonal cocktail or four.
From candy cane rimmed glasses to fruity festive tipples, our mouth-watering Christmas cocktails are easy to recreate from the comfort of your own home – and with four delicious recipes to choose from, you're bound to find your new favourite festive drink.
So when all the Christmas cards have been sent, presents have been wrapped and you're ready to dig into that chocolate Santa - all that's left to do is shake yourself up a festive cocktail, grab a cosy blanket, and settle in for a Christmas movie marathon.
Love Actually, eat, cocktail, repeat.

The famous Leonhardifahrt or Leonhardiritt in South Bavaria is a solemn pilgrimage of horses and cattle in early November to honor the patron St. Leonhard
The magnificently decorated four wheeled horse drawn carriages, lead by a coachmen, come from near and far in the early hours and ride the streets and alleys of Bavarian towns.
The pilgrimage called "Leonhardifahrt" in Bad Tölz takes place every year on November 6th in the namesake of St. Leonhard, the patron saint of farm animals. Bad Tölz has one of the most beautiful and famous horse procession.
The journey leads from Tölz Bäderviertel to Mühlfeldkirche. The 80 wagons from Bad Tölz and the surrounding area has each four horses. Tradition dictates exactly how the carriages should be decorated.
The authenticity of the Tölzer Leonhardifahrt is also strongly encouraged and promoted. For example, the wagons are not allowed to use rubber tires, as in some places, but only wheels shod with iron.
Only local people who wear the traditional costume or "Tracht" are allowed to participate. The Tracht, which are Dirndls and Lederhosen, are passed down through generations and is part of the local tradition in the area they reside.
The young women from Bad Tölz enjoy the admiration of the audience and the smiles, that gives joy and enthusiasm from the audience, locals and tourist alike.
The History
This large procession in southern Bavaria has been going on for 162 years. In the past, farmers brought their horses and cattle to the chapel on separate occasions to have their animals blessed. Over time they decided to have them blessed collectively on one day. Since then, the people of Tölz have been celebrating this tradition on a grand scale. The festival begins sharp at nine o'clock with the ringing of the church bells of the Mühlfeldkirche.
The Route
The parade follows along the the Isar river and the famous Marktstrasse through the old town of Bad Tölz, and then up to the Kalvarienberg where the towns people and the Priest consecrates with the horses. The path of the parade leads back to the church surrounded by countless spectators. In Bad Tölz, the pilgrimage concludes with the Leonhardidreschen, whipping a horse whip to the ground.
Riding with the carriage to the Leonhardi chapel is a tradition that can be traced back to 1469 of the town Kreuth am Tegernsee
St. Leonard
The Saint Leonhard, popularly known as the "Bavarian God" and was originally the patron of the prisoners and a helper in need. He stood by the incarcerated, and according to a saga, many have been set free.
Leonhard lived as a monk in France around the year 500, and died in Noblac near Limoges as the Abbot of a monastery. His grave became a place of pilgrimage. The first Leonhardikirche in the town of Kreuth which is an old Bavarian region, was founded in 1184. Today Leonhard is valued and revered as the patron saint of cattle, especially horses.

Ariana Grande just became the new face of MAC
Are you ready for the new face of MAC Cosmetics? Well, the newest spokeswoman for the brand's Viva Glam campaign is the one and only Ariana Grande! Seriously, what can't Ari do? She's a singer, an actress, and now the face of one of the biggest names in makeup. That's a resume anyone would be a little envious of.
The brand announced that Ariana will be the next spokesperson for their campaign via Periscope on Tuesday and we are already freaking out. The 22-year-old star will be taking over the coveted spot after Miley Cyrus, whose collaboration featured products with a fiery red-orange color, which matched her personality perfectly.
"Secret's out: Introducing our 2016 #VIVAGLAM girl, @ArianagGrande Welcome to the MAC family. Available January 2016," the company tweeted after their video announcement on Tuesday.
Ariana's collaboration will be more feminine and sweet, with splash of sass. There will be pink hues in her lipgloss, while her lipstick color will take on darker tones and look more like a plum hue, which feeds Ariana's more glamorous side.
"#VIVAGLAM @maccosmetics I am beyond honored and excited to be working with a brand that stands for and always has stood for EQUALITY," Ariana wrote alongside her new ads for the makeup company on Instagram.
"My lipstick & gloss will be available in January and EVERY PENNY goes to people effected (sic) by HIV & AIDS. I have loved & supported @maccosmetics ever since I was a little girl walking through the mall and saw your first #VIVAGLAM girl in the window @rupaulofficial. I'm so honored!!!" the Scream Queens actress added.
Yep, you read that right, all proceeds will go to MAC Cosmetics Aids Funds. MAC has always uses its Viva Glam branch to give back and donate to charity and Ariana teaming up with MAC for their non-profit branch makes us want to buy these products ASAP. Sadly, the new lipgloss and lipstick won't be available until January, so we'll just have to wait until after the holidays to get our hands on these chic and sweet new shades and find something else to put on our Christmas lists, like MAC gift cards, maybe.

Dodo meets Sia today in Doctor Who history.
Welcome to our daily round-up of the Doctor Who episodes which received their premiere broadcast on this day throughout the show's long history, along with anything else of note that may have taken place. You can click on any red text to read our full retrospectives/reviews for that episode, and note that all viewing figures listed are for UK broadcasts (unless otherwise stated).
March 5th
I know what you're thinking, what's Dodo doing with Sia up there? But no, it's a screengrab from back in 1966 when on this day 5.5 million people were possibly wishing this Dodo was extinct whilst tuning in for the opening episode of the First Doctor story The Ark (entitled The Steel Sky). Oh, and it was broadcast at 5.15pm, in case you were wondering.
Twelve years later, in 1977, 9.8 million scarf loving people tuned in to part two of The Talons of Weng-Chiang.
Something Borrowed was broadcast in 2008 at 9:50pm and watched by 0.98 million viewers.
Join us again tomorrow for another round-up of the episodes broadcast, the spin-offs aired, the special events, the birthday's celebrated and anything else of note that went down on this day in Doctor Who history.

They joined our Academic Accelerator in autumn 2020 at the beginning of the company's journey, seeking mentorship and inspiration to supercharge their launch.
"We found out about the Accelerator programme online and thought it would be a great opportunity to understand the processes involved in setting up a business," said Doug.
"We were also really keen to gain support and mentorship from those running and collaborating with the programme."
With the pair joining the Accelerator at the early stages of their business development, they found it was the perfect opportunity to learn from others further along in their journeys.
"Our experience with the Accelerator was fantastic. We found there was something we could take from every session, and the expert input from experienced business owners was invaluable. Their experience and background meant they could relate to our challenges and help us through them."
Since taking part, Fertility Genomics has grown exponentially through the launch of its website and expanding its team. Joanna explains, "While the website sells directly to the customer, we're also investigating business-to-business sales and have already had interest from fertility clinics. We now have four members of staff, including a Chief Marketing Officer, and are working with Abertay University to hire part-time interns."
"Another exciting highlight is that Doug has recently been asked to present a webinar for The European Fertility Society on the genetic causes of infertility."
Summing up their Accelerator journey, Joanna concluded, "Our advice to anyone considering joining an Accelerator programme is to go for it! Attend as many sessions as you can, listen, take notes, ask lots of questions and develop your own perspective from there.
"We're grateful to the programme for everything we've learned and the many great people, including the Agitators, we've been introduced to. One great thing about the Accelerator is that the support and contact does not end when you complete it. It continues with invites to webinars, catch-ups and emails, so we are able to seek advice and support while also building business relationships with individuals we've been introduced to via the Elevator staff and the Agitators."

The gratitude of music artists Maureen Paynter and Alejandra Cardenas (Bleached Roses) cannot be measured. In addition to making music, the two recently embarked upon a huge project that would take their work in yet another direction. The dream turned into a reality with the launch of FullNote Records, an Austin-based label specializing in booking and PR management for musicians. And what a journey it's been.
Paynter and Cardenas also realized that they could utilize FullNote to help the music community at large, which is the idea behind tonight's benefit show for the SIMS Foundation at Hotel Vegas, 1501 E. 6th St. It's a showcase of all-local talent on the bill, including Carry Illinois, Mean Jolene, recent KUTX Artist of the Month Mamahawk (featured on today's AMM), Bleached Roses, and Lola Tried front woman Lauren Burton, featured in a solo set. Proceeds benefit SIMS, which provides mental health and addiction recovery services for musicians, music industry professionals and their families in the community.
The show starts at 9 p.m. Awesome music and a most worthy cause. Recommended.

Celebrated documentary filmmaker Wiseman turns his lens on the innermost workings of Paris's famous ballet company, following seven works from rehearsal to stage performance. Wiseman's camera catches choreographers Wayne McGregor and Angelin Prelijocaj rehearsing with their dancers, and the ballet's artistic director taking meetings to discuss staffing and operations issues, as well as benefactor opportunities. Thus, the daily life of this revered institution is captured; as an art form, but also as a commercial entity.
With no voice-over narration, no talking heads, and no on-screen titles, Wiseman's artful visual essay about art lets the audience bask in the aesthetic beauty of creation, while also exposing the nuts and bolts of how a preeminent ballet company actually operates. Exterior shots of rooftops, grand boulevards, and the marble foyer of the Palais Garnier recall the Paris of old; inside, Wiseman lets us see the sweat, discipline, and grinding machinery of a great 21st century business. Towards the end of this astonishing film, we see snippets of the finished dances, and it almost feels as if we have organically arrived at their completion, in cohort with their creators. "La Danse" soars in its simplicity and complexity.

Editor's be aware: That is the primary in an offseason sequence the place The Dallas Morning Information' Sean Collins passes on suggestions, perception and evaluation from Name of Obligation matches with Dallas Empire star and CoD League MVP Anthony "Shotzzy" Cuevas-Castro. Different DMN Warzone experiences could be discovered right here and right here.
"I'm barely maintaining."
It made me really feel higher that it was Ian "Crimsix" Porter that stated that whereas taking part in Name of Obligation with Anthony "Shotzzy" Cuevas-Castro. If the winningest participant in Name of Obligation esports historical past was struggling to stick with the 19-year-old, it was going to be hardly manageable for me.
I nonetheless tried to maintain up for The Dallas Morning Information' first installment of "Studying from Shotzzy."
I hopped into some Warzone video games on Name of Obligation: Trendy Warfare with the Name of Obligation League MVP to grasp what he's pondering and the way he's functioning when he has a controller in his fingers.
The main focus this primary go-around was on his motion. It's what the 2020 CDL champion was most touted for when he entered the Name of Obligation scene as a rookie on the finish of 2019.
This was a ability that carried over from Halo, his potential to traverse the map and idiot his opponents along with his shifty maneuvering.
Shotzzy is aggressive. His motion is in your face and is all about sustaining momentum to maintain his opponents off guard. If CDL gamers couldn't include him, Warzone casuals had been doomed.
For those who're unfamiliar with Shotzzy or curious as to how slippery a participant could be in Name of Obligation, right here's a pair fast appears to be like.
That is the one the place Crimsix couldn't sustain:
One other clip:
Yet one more for good measure:
Earlier than Cuevas-Castro and I received right into a Warzone foyer, I used to be curious what his highest-kill match was within the mode. He stated it was within the 30s.
Effectively, no must heat up for him.
Shotzzy wiped a fifth of the foyer by himself, dropping 30 eliminations within the first recreation to my six.
The objective for me was to easily sustain, even when I used to be a number of paces behind him. So long as he was alive, we had a superb opportunity to win. My display usually appeared like this:
It additionally meant I received to see what his motion appeared like. I received a pair attractiveness spectating him whereas I used to be useless.
Right here's one which caught out (apologies for the echo within the audio):
It doesn't seem like a lot, however he had a participant pre-aiming the nook. His opponent knew precisely the place he was. However Shotzzy went from a full dash to a again pedal and melted down the enemy.
For those who didn't discover the primary time, Shotzzy averted taking any harm within the engagement.
He defined to me what his objective is along with his motion in an engagement like that. The dialogue went to slide-cancelling, a method Shotzzy perfected early in Trendy Warfare that the majority Warzone gamers attempt to replicate now.
"The very best time to slip cancel is round partitions and every time they're pre-aiming you," Cuevas-Castro stated. "Of their POV, so long as you slide cancel accurately, it's at all times going to mess them up."
Shotzzy has a grasp's understanding of what the opposite participant's display goes to seem like in each state of affairs. He talked about it as abusing the digital camera angles the sport presents. Whereas the transfer he performs appears to be like clean on his display, it's usually a flurry for his opponent.
He's defined what sure strikes can seem like in movies earlier than like this one:
After listening to that, I attempted to maintain higher tempo with him. We ended up combining for 39 eliminations in one other recreation — Shotzzy did the heavy-lifting with 31 of these.
I didn't slide cancel right here, and realistically I robbed Shotzzy of an elimination, however I ran round this nook understanding the opposite man was going to need to hit some superb photographs to win it.
Watching the clip again, probably the most fascinating half to me was my first response. I knew each gamers had been weak from Shotzzy's callout, however I hesitated. That was my pure response.
You'll be able to't have that response if you wish to drop high-eliminations and win. Pushing your opponent right into a nook (on this case, actually) goes to place you within the benefit.
For those who may even remotely resemble Shotzzy's strikes, that'll assist too.

We use the Google Feedburner to distribute our RSS feeds, but how to fix Feedburner feeds which do not update? When you update your blog, the RSS feed updates, then pings Feedburner, syncs your feeds and Feedburner grabs the latest content.
Feedburner Feeds Not Updating
But what if the feed does not update? … and we had a chance to experience this today as Feedburner feed would simply not sync, and not update. Here is what I did…
1. Check original source feed
Has the original feed updated? When you use caching plugins, there is a high chance your feed is cached and when pinged bots come by, they do not find an updated feed. Clear cache and confirm that the original feed has latest content.
2. Validate Feeds
Check your feed with Feedvalidator to see for any RSS errors which prevent your feed from syncing correctly.
3. Ping Feedburner
Use this form to ping your feed URLs or site URL (which should have feed autodiscovery links in the HTML), then your feed will be quickly updated (or it will point out the feed errors). This did not fix our issue as well.
4. Resync Feedburner Feed
If your feed is valid, and even after pinging the feed does not update in an hour, then Feedburner recommends you go to the feed troubleshoot page (after logging into your Feedburner account) and then you need to resync your feed and it will get updated instantly.
That worked and synced our feed with fresh content. Have you ever need to fix Feedburner feed issues?

I'm Paola Maggiulli Italian food expert & self care cookery teacher
Ciao! Born and bred Londoner, I'm very proud of my Italian/Colombian heritage that influences my work and brand on a daily.
Ever since I was a little girl, Italian food has always been a part of my life. From annual summer holidays to Puglia which is where my Pops is from to working in the family run deli for nearly 20 years.
Cooking changed my life
It can change yours
Many assume that my love for Italian cooking was driven by my heritage. However, it all started when my dad decided to sell the south London family Italian deli, Salumeria Napoli, which he had run for nearly 20 years.
I had no interest in working in the world of food growing up. Instead I began a 15-year stressful career in fashion. However, during that time, I was hiding the fact that I was dealing with depression and anxiety, after a very traumatic emotional relationship, that left me mentally broken and insecure. Throwing myself into my work was my only option. I was eating badly and making poor life choices as being successful in my job was all that mattered to me. No one had a clue.
Then when my dad announced the closure, I had this knee jerk reaction to cling on to my Italian heritage. I had already lost so my much of myself. I didn't want to lose anything else.
Looking back, both my brother and I would begrudgingly work on weekends and the holidays. While our friends were hanging out, we were getting shown how to slice parma ham perfectly or how to wrap a chunk of parmesan.
It's only looking back at those times that I've realised that it influenced and drove my new found obsession with Italian cooking.
My Journey
When my dad sold the deli, only then did I realise the void we were going to have in our lives. No longer could we get free parma ham, pesto, olives, cheese, pasta etc. Why had I taken it for granted?! I was going to have to go elsewhere to stock up my cupboards and fridge. It was a shock to the system and it was then that I realised that I couldn't walk away from my Italian food roots. For the first time in a while, I decided to do something for myself and embraced everything I could to learn about it.
I started by teaching myself my favourite recipes that I had enjoyed many a time on our annual family Italian holidays in Puglia. I held myself accountable by uploading them to a blog, that I thought no one would ever read. At the same time, I started a mini Italian food stall in ode to the deli, which is where the name Tiny Italian came from.
Overtime, I started to notice a change. I was feeling more confident, happier and it was due to making better food choices. Rather than relying on take-aways and a pint after work, I was eating my way back to happiness with EASY, SEXY, HEALTHY meals that were fuelling my body, mind and soul with goodness. I was creating food that I absolutely loved to eat and was making me happy. I use to ask myself, 'why hadn't I cooked more before?'. However, I clearly remember believing that good cooking was only for experts and that good cooking couldn't come easy to someone like me. I soon realised how wrong I was.
My new found love for cooking made me feel confident enough to regularly see and invite friends over for dinner which also positively contributed to my mindset. Being with people you love is so important to daily wellness and this was what my Italian culture had shown me for years, but only now I understood the importance. Plus, cooking was a great distraction to the daily struggles. It was my time, time to relax, enjoy, switch on the radio and cook to my favourite tunes.
In 2018 I decided to leave the stressful corporate world of fashion, sharpen up my culinary skills at Leiths cooking school of food and wine, and I travelled all over Italy to learn about all the amazing regional recipes and food culture.
Today the Tiny Italian is not only about sharing EASY, SEXY, DELICIOUS Italian recipes, but I'm here to help those who think they can't cook, find it difficult or boring to create a a more positive mindset with fun stress-free self care cook longs that you can join me virtually and in real life. I want to help you make a small change in your your life where I help you LEARN TO LOVE TO COOK so you can also reap the rewards of home cooking and feel better for it.

Only downside is the factory charging system in my truck. lol This amp does suck a lot of power.This thing is killer on my two 16 Kicker cvr's! And rms room for more subs or a sub upgrade in the future.
Before starting All Day Energy Greens, I was already taking another "green" product in capsule form. It was expensive and had to take 6 of them at one time. When the product came it - I had to try it! I have been using this product for 7 days now and I do have more energy and I no longer have the 3pm "need to take a nap" problem. One thing that has changed in me is that I expell excess water out of my system. I have thyroid dieses and from that I have terrible edema! I have not had ANY ankle and leg swelling since using this product. If all this product does is expell my edema - then I will be using this for LIFE!
My husband is in Indonesia right now and this was a great book to remind my kids that even though he is far away, he is still a super hero and loves them. Great book!
Received this knife set less than two weeks ago. The "Bonus Cheese Knife" which I was using for cheese, has already broken. The light-weight plastic handles are small, the knives are small. It's just a junky knife set. Not worth $20.
I am disappointed with the dearth of coverage in this edition. I checked back to the 2005 PDR, and it had 3,440 pages. This one is only 2,500, and I can't find many of the common medications I used to be able to find. This will be the last edition I purchase for our library.
I was introduced to Zanfel about a decade ago by my mother, who has been hypersensitive to poison ivy her whole life but said that this product was the first on that could reverse the symptoms after they occurred. Several times since then I used Zanfel, after getting a poison ivy rash, and saw the rash subside within a few days- it truly seemed like a miracle.

Sudden Impact: What if Your Spouse Dies Unexpectedly
T&E Chat
02.11.19 | T&E Chat
What if the unthinkable happens and your spouse dies unexpectedly? Would you be prepared to cope emotionally and financially? As the surviving spouse, you'll face some important tasks and challenges.
First Steps First
This is by no means complete, but the following are areas that will need to be addressed:
Death Certificates. One of the first things to do is obtain death certificates, which you'll need to provide for various dealings with financial institutions and others. While it may be difficult to estimate how many death certificates will ultimately be requested of you, you'll probably want to start with at least a dozen.
Notifications. You must get the word out to other interested parties, including your spouse's employer, if applicable; credit card companies; life insurance companies; retirement plan and IRA administrators; the state motor vehicle agency; the state office for inheritance tax, if applicable; and your attorney.
Social Security Benefits. If your spouse was receiving benefits, consult with the Social Security Administration as to the benefits available to a surviving spouse. Frequently, modifications are required if the survivor was the lower-earning spouse. Even if your spouse wasn't receiving benefits yet, you may be eligible for survivor benefits, depending on your age and other factors.
Insurance. Don't assume that everything about your insurance will stay the same. Review your various policies to ensure that you'll have the optimal coverage going forward. Make whatever beneficiary changes are required.
Retirement Plans and IRAs. You may face important decisions regarding employer retirement plans, such as 401(k) plans, as well as traditional and Roth IRAs. For example, if your spouse had a traditional IRA, you can complete a timely rollover to an IRA of your own without owing any tax. Conversely, you might opt for a lump-sum payout from a 401(k) or IRA should you need the funds.
Investments. Review the investments that were owned solely by your spouse, as well as those you owned jointly. When you have time, sit down with your financial advisor to chart out a path for the future, focusing on changes in personal objectives, time horizon and risk tolerance.
Estate Tax Filing. Although federal estate tax returns generally are required for only the wealthiest individuals, you may choose to file a return to establish the income tax basis of inherited assets. This step will also enable you to preserve the use of your deceased spouse's unused federal estate tax exemption. Generally, the return is due within nine months of the date of the death.
Finally, Review Your Estate Plan
Once you've overcome the initial shock of the death, it's important to sit down with your Berdon advisor and trust and estate attorney and review your estate plan. You'll likely need to make a number of revisions in areas where you named your spouse as beneficiary and factor in other changes in your life and circumstances. We can help you consider your overall picture during this difficult time and review your options. You can reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com or contact to your Berdon advisor.
