Back to all Dart Tips episodes.
Hi, my name is Seth Ladd and welcome to this episode of Dart Tips. Today we sharpen our understanding of Dart's basic built-in types. The building blocks of any program, Dart has support for numbers, strings, and booleans. They are all objects, you can initialize them from literal values, and you can't get very far without them. Let's get started!
Numbers, strings, and booleans are easy to use because you can create them from literal values. Every object in Dart is an instance of a class, but these built-in types can be initialized without having to use a constructor with the new keyword. Let's see literals in action and start our tour with numbers.
Dart has two types of numbers. Integers are arbitrary precision, which means they can grow to arbitrary size on the Dart VM. Doubles are 64-bit floating point numbers that conform to IEEE-754 standard.
You can create instances of these classes using literals. For example, here are some integers. Notice how you create a new instance of a number simply by using its literal value.
A little warning, though. Very large integers will work in the Dart VM but not when compiled to JavaScript. This is a known issue, so stay tuned.
// doubles var pi = 3.14159; double astronomicalUnitInMiles = 92,955,807.273; var result = 6.72e9; // 6720000000.0
Number literals with a decimal point are doubles. You can even declare a double literal with an exponent for scientific notation.
Both integers and doubles are sub-classes of the num class.
var result = 22 + 11; // 33 var formulaAnswer = (8 * 2) / 4 + 2 - 1; // 5.0
The operators like plus, minus, multiply, and divide are actually special methods defined in the num class.
var division = 5 / 2; // 2.5 var truncatingDivision = 5 ~/ 2; // 2
Of special note is the difference between division and truncating division. Division, with just the forward slash, returns a double. Truncating division, with tilde forward slash, truncates the answer and returns the integer portion before the decimal point.
42.2.ceil(); // 43.0 42.2.floor(); // 42.0 42.7.round(); // 43.0 (-42).abs(); // 42
The num class also defines methods such as absolute, ceiling, floor, round, and more. This makes sense, because these are methods you can call on a specific instance of a number.
int.parse('1'); // 1 double.parse('1.1'); // 1.1 42.toString(); // '42'
Use the static method parse from the int and double classes to convert a string to a number. And go the other way, from number to string, using good old toString. Speaking of strings, let's move on to our next built-in type.
var message = "Bob's puppy is really cute."; String html = '<button id="confirmation">Confirm?</button>';
Strings in Dart are sequences of UTF-16 code units. Notice how you can use either single quotes or double quotes when declaring a string literal. This is awesome, because this lets you choose the quotes that work for your string. Writing a bunch of HTML that uses double quotes? Great! You can wrap the entire string in single quotes. Does your string contain single quotes? Not a problem, just wrap the whole thing in double quotes.
var username = 'Alice'; var message = 'Hello, $username!'; // Hello, Alice!
Combining and building strings is easy with string interpolation. Notice the dollar sign username inside of message. This inserts the value from username into the string message. Dart does not have string concatenation with plus but you won't miss it thanks to string interpolation.
var longMessage = 'This is a long message ' 'that is split over two lines'; // == This is a long message that is split over two lines.
Here's another reason you don't need plus to concatenate strings. Adjacent string literals, or two string literals next to each other, are concatenated for you. This example shows two string literals next to each other, even though that are on two lines. The compiler joins them together for you.
var evenLongerMessage = ''' You can create multi-line strings like this one. This is great for templates.''';
For even longer strings, you can use Dart's support for multi-line strings. Notice the use of the triple quotes, which works with both triple-single or triple-double quotes. All newlines after the first triple quotes are retained. This feature is very useful for small snippets of HTML, for example.
var raw = r"Raw strings \n are $left as is." // Raw strings \n are $left as is.
For the times when you need to use special characters like dollar sign or backslash inside your string, you can use raw strings. Prefix a string with the character r to turn off any interpretation of the string's contents. This is very handy for building regular expressions.
The String class is full of useful methods for searching, creating substrings, matching, and more. We'll cover Strings in more detail in a future episode. Let's move on to our next built-in type: booleans!
var dartIsFun = true; bool dartIsHardToLearn = false;
Like everything in Dart, booleans are objects. Specifically, true and false are the only two instances of the bool class.
if (1) { // in JavaScript, this is true } else { // in Dart, this is false }
Dart differs from JavaScript in its treatment of truthy and falsey values. In JavaScript, the objects 1, non-empty string, and non-null objects are treated as true. In Dart, it's more simple. Only the boolean value true is treated as true. In Dart, all object instances other than true are treated as false.
var fullName = ''; if (fullName.isEmpty()) { validator.addMessage("Full name is empty"); } var hitPoints = 0; if (hitPoints == 0) { player.dead(); }
Instead of using many different objects for truthiness or falsiness, you can instead explicitly check for values or states. For example, instead of just checking "if hitpoints" you should instead explicitly check if hit points is equal to zero. I personally really like this, as the code is clearer and the developer doesn't need to learn a bunch of truthy or falsey rules.
The rule of three is a writing principle that suggests that things that come in threes are inherently funnier, more satisfying, or more effective than other numbers of things. The rule of thirds is a photography principle that creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject would. It's no coincidence, then, that you just learned how to create three foundational building blocks of any Dart program: numbers, strings, and booleans. These types are all real objects and can be initialized with literal values, making them easy to use. From here, we build up to collections!
Thanks for watching the show. My name is Seth Ladd, and as we say here on Dart Tips, stay sharp.
Our thanks go out to Marakana for producing this video series.

The Idiocracy Prophecy
Idiocracy Trailer
Please note that in the context of this hub I am using the word "prophet" in a non-religious context. The writings of Shakespeare have echoed through the times with concepts as fresh today as they were back in his day. In this Hub I had to use some "bad" words (proper names of TV show and Movies), so please forgive me.
It is hard to say who will be seen as a prophet in the future today. What we see as important today may be something trivial tomorrow. Today we view such people as Late President Harry S Truman as great men, but in his time he was considered a failure with an approval rating only seen by congress today. They say history is written by the winner, but it is also rewritten by the children of those winner. The life of a prophet's words are in their availability and the ability to translate them into a modern setting. Using that as a guide line the modern prophets are the entertainers (writers, movie makers, and etc.). That is not to say that all entertainers will be seen as visionaries to be studied in the future. There is a difference between meaningful and meaningless, but that is not for me to decide. That's what people in the future will decide. There are people who see the works of Michael Moore as fitting within this context. Only time will tell if his take on social issues will be timeless or dated. So to say someone is a modern prophet (using my view) is a bit of an oxymoron. Having said that I want to say that the Mike Judge Movie from 2009 Idiocracy may indeed become a work of prophecy. God I hope I'm wrong.
To give context to the movie I will give a brief description of the movie. Idiocracy is a comedy about an average man played by Luke Wilson who is volunteered by the Army to be put into cryonic sleep for one year, but because of a mishap he and a prostitute played by Maya Rudolph are frozen for 500 years. In that time the fabled dumbing down of America has degenerated the population into a state where even basic understanding is lost. The basic idea is that natural selection favors the strong and not the smart. This is depicted in the movie in a cross comparison between an intelligent couple who essentially over think the problem and a less than intelligent man and his progeny who reproduce at an alarming rate. Wilson's character was an average "Joe" in every aspect in the present is the smartest man alive in this dystopian future. I don't want to give too much of the plot of the movie away because I think you should see it and judge for yourself. It was made by written and directed by Mike Judge the man behind Beavis & Butt-Head as well as the genius (in my opinion) film Office Space. (see http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0431918/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1) The following are some concepts I noticed in real life that seem to foreshadow the events of the movie. I would recommend watching the movie at least twice one week apart and in the time in between look at the culture we live in today.
Your floor is clean. Your floor is Clean
An automated society
We are working to create connivance today by making everything automated, plug-in-play, and foolproof. In the movie this is displayed in the lack of understanding on how stuff works and a sequence where even the economy was automated (spoiler alert) when an event in the movie caused an automated layoff of the largest company in the world.
Our Education System
While this is it's own subject and maybe should be tackled by a smarter person than myself I am going to try and tie in the concept of the movie with what is happening today. From my perspective the focus of education has been turned away from its primary mission of educating the people. I say people because at one time we worked hard to educate everyone not just the young. We now care more about accountability and cost. We want to treat education like a business holding teachers accountable for abstract results and reducing costs. Now I a not here to debate the education system, my point is that we need to focus our education system on educating the public or suffer the consequences. (Update) We also use the education system to argue political and religious positions rather than facts. This tends toward an education systems with a longer list of what not to teach than what needs to the taught.
Digitally Dependant
I was speaking to my sister the other day and she mentioned that the school system was not teaching some of the basics anymore such as the times tables and cursive. The focus in the classroom is on the digital age with classes in keyboard typing, and office based software. This will make our children dependant on computers and calculators to do the things we did with pen, paper, and our minds. Although to be fair I am every addicted to technology.
To say we are dependant on our technology today is an understatement (I just paused to answer my cell). The cell phone (mobile) is for many an extension of ourselves. For many of us we live and work within the digital age. Its everywhere. I witnessed an office shut down when the computers went down.
The movie talks about the state of the entertainment industry. The movie talks about how such concepts as plot and dialogue where replaced by shows about being kicked in the genitals (Owe My Balls a tribute to Jack-Ass) and Ass the movie which was just a shot of a persons backside for two hours. Than you have the return to the gladiatorial games of the past as a means of punishment or as it is called in the film rehabilitation.
The Prez and Chief
FLoA (Future Leaders of America
Science Fiction as almost always depicted the future as one ruled by the intelligent. While a delightful notion in reality we favor bold over intelligent. In leaders we pick the guy who can speak our brand of values better than the other. In one party's case they tend to mock the intelligent candidate as if an education is a disqualification for public life. Following the party line is more important than shaping the debate (and don't get me started on our debates). In the film debate on the house floor involves even more posturing then today (along with gun fire instead of a gavel to bring order).
I just hit upon some of the many ways Mike Judge's Idiocacy has prophesized our future. Like any other prophecy it is open to interpretation and will take many years to be either proven or dismissed. Now I tried to keep this as non-controversial as possible. I did not blame anyone (but us as a group) for our problems. We can play the blame game over or problems until our descendants resemble the cast of the movie or we could come together and try and fix them. Or just watch the movie and enjoy.
Will you or have you ever watched this movie
I have not seen this film, but from your description, it delves into the past as much as predicts the future (gunfire along with the gavel...). There were a number of knifings, duels and fistfights in our states' legislatures, and think I remember reading of such in Congress back in the 1800s. Sounds like it could run in a cycle. I definitely agree with your treatise on our modern-day education.
Sorry to nit pick but when you use it like that, it's spelled "prophet". "Profit" spelled with an f is used to mean "to make money".
I'm one of a few admins on a site and we each have muiptlle computers, locations, and browsers we use.From what I can tell, your solution seems like it'll take care of all of that by just inserting your code problem is, where how/ does one use it?Obviously, I'm completely clueless on coding, I'm just a blogger who is tired of seeing 2/3 of our hits come from the admins (not to mention how much that's skewing the other results- notably time on site and bounce rate).Thank you for your help.
Holy Tooeld, so glad I clicked on this site first!
We've arvierd at the end of the line and I have what I need!

I was four when I wrote my first letter to Santa Claus. Mom gave me a sheet of paper, torn from an Indian Chief tablet to write on. I thought I was sooo big. I sat down at the kitchen table to begin my letter.
I made a row of large circles across the paper then another row of medium circles and finally a row of small circles. Mom kept asking me what I was asking Santa to bring but I told her it was a secret between Santa and me. No amount of coaxing could get me to give up the secret. One day Aunt Agnes came out to visit. She said she had talked to Santa and he told her that I could tell her what I had asked for but I couldn't tell anyone else, so I finally relented and told her Santa was going to bring me a set of doll dishes.
We never had a Christmas tree. Very few people in our community had a tree, after all why would we need one when Santa came to our house in person on Christmas eve. Christmas eve was a time of big excitement. The cows were milked early , supper was served early so we'd all be ready for Santa.
Santa would show up right after dark. He came to the house making lots of noise on the porch stomping the snow off his boots. His reindeer were nowhere in sight. Santa said they were hungry so he left them in the stanchions in the barn. He was giving them some hay while he delivered the gifts.
Santa left a couple of presents and a small sack with an orange and a little candy for each kid. My most memorable present was a doll. I named the doll Tommy. Tommy's head was made with some sort of sawdust mixture and one day I dropped him. Poor Tommy was played with for a long time with a hole in his head.
After Santa left we played with our new toys for awhile ,then started to get dressed to go to midnight mass. We would get to wear our new mittens or maybe we got a scarf or stocking caps that mom had knitted for us. I remember one year I got a colorful rosary. You never saw anyone so angelic in your life. After all I wanted everyone to see the new rosary.
We usually had snow on the ground and many times it was snowing when we went to mass. I can still hear the squeak of our shoes as we walked in the dark on the cold crisp snow.
The church was always softly lit along with many candles. A large nativity scene took up one of the side altars. A soft spotlight made it appear almost magical. The choir sang all the Christmas carols . The priest wore his red and cream colored robes . Al this along with the smell of incense all made Christmas very special.

Pet Pantry
Why not dedicate a piece of furniture to storing your furbaby's things? There are many attractive options for pet pantries. You can use a small armoire or jelly cupboard, or just get a standalone cabinet.
Storage Containers
Do you buy kibble in bulk? You can use a plastic storage tote to store it. Put the tote in a wicker chest or hamper, or even a trunk, to make it look more attractive. Or, go pick up a new stainless-steel trashcan. For cat food and smaller kibble, you can use a glass jar, or even a pitcher. Just be sure to choose something that closes securely. Remember to wash your pet's food container out regularly. If you use plastic, you'll need to replace it once it starts getting scratched and worn, as those tiny cracks can harbor dangerous bacteria.
Storage Conditions
Dry food should be stored at room temperature, or slightly cooler. Avoid storing dry food in damp areas, as it can quickly grow dangerous mold. Canned food is a bit trickier. It will spoil quickly if left out, but if you just put the can in the fridge, it will quickly lose its flavor. Use glass or plastic storage containers. Also, be sure to discard uneaten canned food right away.
If there's one thing our furry friends love, it's treats. Why not put your four-legged buddy's snacks in a special jar? You can get a cute cookie jar, or just use a regular glass or ceramic container.
Serving Sizes
It's very easy to overfeed Fido and Fluffy. Even giving your furball a few too many calories each day can cause your pet to rapidly pack on pounds. Use a scoop, a large measuring cup, or a marked pitcher to measure your furry pal's food. Remember to wash these frequently!
Do you have any questions about your pet's health or care? We can help! Please feel free to call us, your Lawrenceville, GA animal clinic, anytime.

About Clayton Hotel Belfast
Let Clayton Hotel Belfast tantalise your taste buds…
The restaurant delivers a warm and friendly dining experience with a local twist, thanks to the finest locally sourced produce. Enjoy a glass of vino or a pint of the famous black stuff to compliment your meal and help you unwind.
We had a fantastic stay, food was good and staff were lovely, would definitely stay here again.
Staff were lovely Donna on reception was very pleasant and helpful would recommend this hotel to friends and family and can't wait to go back next year
The staff was helpful, friendly it is a marvellous restaurant belong to a great hotel
Staff were c very helpful and friendly and put our needs tonthe fore. Only disappointing thing was the sausages at breakfast were a bit tough.
We came with a bigger party and everyone but me had the chilli chicken, which looked fine and everyone liked it. I had a cesar salad, after thinking that a nice salad with char grilled chicken would be awesome for lunch. However, the chicken was boiled and dry, it barely went down me throat and I will never get this again. 13 pounds is expensive enough for such a small cesar salad, but the chicken just made me resent your kitchen. There also was this garlic mayo, which was amazing by the way!
Nice enough dining experience here. Service was always good; very polite and efficient. Quality of food was also good.
Superb stay
What a wonderful stay, big shout out for Libbey who was just so fantastic.
Thank you to the Clayton Hotel for making our baby shower event run so smoothly. The hotel is fantastic, so friendly and welcoming and couldn't have done enough for us. Food was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you in particular to Damian, an absolute gentleman who went out of his way to make our event so special, he was extremely helpful and made our day so lovely & stress free. Thank you to the lovely young guy Gary for helping me to the room with lots of bags, again nothing was too much bother. Christine was also extremely helpful and the lady who was dressed as a tree really got the group into the Christmas spirit. We are so thankful for the lovely evening we had. Great memories. We will definitely be coming back to the Clayton. Great team. Amazing staff. Beautiful hotel. x

- Basics
What Are Campaigns?
Campaigns are time-limited Categories that usually focus on a specific goal. They have defined start and end dates, and feature an optional prize.
Once a Campaign ends, Idea submission and voting on Ideas in the Campaign freezes, but users can still comment on Ideas and Moderators can still change the state of Ideas.
How Do I View A Campaign?
From the top menu in Kindling, select "Campaigns." If you do not have access to any Campaigns, this link will appear greyed out.
In the 'Active' tab, A list of Campaigns will appear, along with their end dates, idea count and parent Categories (when applicable). Clicking on the 'Closed' tab will display all Campaigns which have been closed.
Clicking on the name of Campaign will pull up the Campaign page, with a list of all open Ideas, as well as the number of votes available to you and the Moderators for that Campaign.
Who Can Create a Campaign?
Kindling Administrators can create Campaigns and assign access to any Groups in Kindling. Kindling Moderators can create Campaigns within Categories they moderate. To learn more about creating Campaigns, see this Kindling Academy article.
How Can I View All Ideas in a Campaign?
When viewing a Campaign, select the "All" tab. By default, all Ideas are shown, regardless of state. You can filter the Ideas by state, and also sort by date created, updated, or by the highest number of votes.

By Jennifer Holder
If you are a product junkie like me then you probably have lotions, creams, tubes of lipstick etc that have been sitting in the same spot untouched for several months or even years. You know the items that you just had to have but then forgot about after the thrill of buying it wore off. This article is intended to be used as a guide for product junkies everywhere to know when a product should be thrown away or kept around for a little while longer.
Everything has a shelf life including our make-up and all other potions and lotions. But there are things you can do to lengthen the life of your products.
Lotions and Creams:
Separation after sitting for a while means the product should be tossed. Smell is also an important factor. If the products smell changes in any way that is a good indication that it has expired. Toss it! Foundations, moisturizers etc all have a shelf life of about a year after opening as long as they are stored properly. If you notice any change in consistency or fragrance it's a pretty safe bet that it is no longer good. If you still have that cover up from when you went to prom do yourself a favor and Toss it!
If stored properly away from heat and cold your favorite scent can last 3 to 5 years. It is a good idea to store fragrances in a cool dark area such as a jewelry box or drawer.
All types of powders including blush and eye shadow have a pretty long shelf life as long as you use a new or cleaned applicator with each use. Have you ever seen someone's powder compact with a dark film on top? That is an accumulation of oils from the skin that have been trapped in the puff and then absorbed into the powder. Yuck! Avoid this by either washing your applicator regularly or buying a bag of applicators at a dollar store and use a fresh one each time you apply your powder. Powder brushes for loose powder should be cleaned at least once a week to keep your powder fresh.
Pencils have a pretty long shelf life because every time you sharpen eyeliner or lip pencil you are exposing new product. It is a good idea to sharpen your pencils at least once a week to remove any contaminants. Do not let your pencils get wet and then dry out again. This may cause mold to form.
Lipsticks and glosses:
Bacteria does not thrive on wax based products so these types of products tend to last quit a long time about 1 to 2 years. If you notice "beading" on the surface of your lipstick this indicates that it has been exposed to heat or is aging. Check the color and consistency and if it appears to have changed: Toss it! Lip glosses with wand applicators should never be shared because bacteria can get trapped inside the container. To be on the safe side replace these types of glosses every six months.
Mascara and Liquid Eyeliner:
The MAX shelf life for these kinds of products is 3 months!! Do yourself a favor and label your mascara's and liquid eyeliners with the date that it was opened on the package somewhere. Your eye area is one of the most sensitive parts on your body. You do not want to take any chances of getting some sort of infection. It is also a bad idea to share these types of products too. When you use mascara or liner do not pump the wand, this cause air and bacteria to get trapped inside. Instead wipe the sides of the tube to pick up color.
Products like the ones mentioned in this article can make you look and feel you're best but it is important to know that it is not a good idea to keep these types of things for an extended period of time. I would suggest you do a "spring" clean of your make-up bag every three months or so. Then go shopping for new products! You deserve it!

**Un-edited Teaser**
Hope you enjoyed the glimpse - feel free to share this post!
I want to read more already!ReplyDelete
That's good news - thanks Bobbie! Really appreciate your feedback and looking forward to sharing the entire story with you in June :)Delete
I want to start this off by saying that I love how you've woven Max's thoughts at the start of this. It really kinda made me think about the day to day lives we lead and wonder when it all became so complicated LOL But I also want to say I know the events that lead to him changing his life style but his wardrobe improved for the better. I'd pick jeans over an expensive suit anyday ... okay, I will continue to read now without being shallow :P
"The Paper was full of bad news." Aint that the truth. My Grandmother keeps coming out to the lounge room to tell us what she heard on the radio and it's always terrible news. Mum has given her a rule. For every bad news story she wants to tell us she has to follow it up with good stories. Unfortunately they are far and few between.
Okay, I've stopped prattling on and just read the rest of it.
I loved it. I thought it was engaging. I thought that it really set the mood for how Max is coping with the loss of a friend. Everyone copes differently, right? I could really picture everything as you wrote it - where he was, his expression, his whole countenance.
I like the fact that you can clearly see that he does love his friends, he has that want to contact them, be with them but he can't. He clearly stops himself from reaching out. They are a constant reminder of live before that loss. You can feel his struggle and his guilt for staying so much. I feel for him.
So all in all? I am damn exited, my friend :)
Thanks so much for this - you know I always look forward to your feedback :) I know how much you cared for this story early on, so I hope you still love it after you've seen the changes I made :)Delete
Hi Amanda
It seems to me, after reading your little snippet, that I have found my new favourite author, who also just happens to be my favourite Artisan & jeweller :)
U are obviously a very amazingly talented lady.
I can't wait for the release and will definitely be ordering a signed copy :)
Thanks so much Sue :) I'm grateful for your support - it's a rough road out there for authors, especially those of us downunder! I'd love to sign a copy for you - mark your calendar for June :) Have you checked out "Absolution" yet? I've put a little gift in your latest order on that front...Delete

|The History of the Dominion of Canada (1897)
ous, of granting large tracts of land to members of the two councils and to their friends became common. Peter Russell, administrator, granted many such tracts to Peter Russell in his private capacity ; and other officials fared equally well. In Grant's time occurred the first serious dispute between the assembly and the executive. There had been some little friction between the assembly and the legislative council at different times, but the causes of dispute were trivial. In 1806, however, the assembly took exception to the unauthorized expenditure by Grant of certain provincial funds. The dispute was elided by Grant giving way to the assembly, but the debates were bitter and the general conduct of the government was much criticised.
Power of the Officials.—Robert Thorpe, an English lawyer, was at this time a judge in Upper Canada, and he encouraged the grand juries at the different courts throughout the province to find fault with the way in which public business was carried on. In those days a judge could sit in the provincial assembly. Thorpe became a member, pursuing in the House the same line of criticism in which he indulged on the bench. The official classes were, however, too strong for him, and he was dismissed from his judgeship. Wyatt, the surveyor-general, and Sheriff Willcocks were also dismissed from their positions, their criticism being visited with all the harsher punishment for being, as it were, treason within the official camp. Willcocks subsequently went to the United States and joined in the invasion of the Niagara frontier in 1812 ; and the official party in later years were not slow to impute like disloyalty to all who ventured to complain of their arbitrary and selfish government. From the beginning the executive council and the government officials, with their families and friends, formed an exclusive social circle to which none were admitted who failed to recognize their right to monopolize all public positions in the province. With the lieutenant-governor as the head of this official aristocracy in a place like York—a mere village at that time—the power of the executive faction was hard to overcome.
Material Progress. —During this period, as already seen, the population of the province was largely increased. There was also a steady advance in material prosperity. The assembly gave liberally toward the opening up of roads to connect the various

[caption id="attachment_2963" align="alignleft" width="360"] Mohammed[/caption]
The All Progressives Congress, APC, has committed itself to ensuring its members conduct themselves in a peaceful manner before and after next year's elections. APC National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, said so in a statement he issued in Lagos on Sunday. The opposition party also enjoins the Peoples Democratic Party to complement its efforts and follow suit.
The statement reads:
"We have heard from Nigerians who are so afraid about possible violence during the forthcoming election that they are even willing to relocate to other countries until after the elections. But, as the
biggest opposition party in Nigeria and a major stakeholder in our nation's democracy, we are assuring, on our part, that there will be no violence.
Though our party has no history of violence, we have commenced a nationwide effort to sensitize our members and supporters to the need to eschew rancour and embrace non-violent methods, even in the face of the kind of provocations to which we were subjected during the Ekiti and Osun governorship elections, when our members were needlessly harassed, arrested and detained by partisan security agencies acting
under orders from the FG.
If the federal government allows a level playing field for all contestants, if the security agencies stop acting as the armed wing of the ruling PDP, if the electoral umpire will carry out its duties without fear, favour or bias and if citizens are allowed to exercise their franchise unmolested, the stage will be set for a non-violent, free, fair and credible polls. In other words, the government has a major role to play in making the forthcoming polls peaceful.
On our part, in addition to other efforts aimed at ensuring a peaceful election, we pledge to accept the result of an election that is not only free, fair,
credible and transparent, but one that is also seen to be so. We hope other parties will make a similar pledge.

SPIRITUALITY & BEREAVEMENTA 6-Week Online Course
When facing a profound a loss of any kind, such as the death of a loved one, divorce, job loss, pet loss or loss of health, we cannot separate psychology from spirituality. Regardless of one's belief system or image of God, loss and grief almost always brings up existential questions, because searching for meaning is an intrinsic part of the grieving process. A Christian might wonder, "Why would a loving God let this happen?" or "Is God punishing me?" A SBNR person (Spiritual But Not Religious) might ask, "What am I supposed to learn from this experience?" An atheist might question whether painful events are truly random, or if there is some deeper purpose to our challenges and losses. This seminar is designed to strengthen and prepare those that provide care to grieving individuals and communities of all backgrounds.
This six-week online seminar will take place from September 12 to October 17, on Wednesdays, from 4:30 – 6:30 pm PST. Engage in group discussion and experiential processes related to:
- Multi-cultural death and grief practices
- Grief theory and research
- The relation between theology/spirituality/psychology when working with loss and grieF
- Ritual and ceremony as healing tools for the bereaved and therapeutic tools for professionals
- Interactive group exercises and group rituals
- Family dynamics in response to loss, trauma and grief
What you will experience in class will invite you to reflect on your own personal loss experiences, to share those experiences with your classmates, and to expand your capacity to provide care. You are not required to share, but we do hope you will participate in these exercises, even if you only do so as an observer.

3 thoughts on "Being A Writer!"
Let us write for ourselves. What assurance de we have that these "others" are anything beyond our imaginations?
But aren't they – beyond our imaginations? The Joy of writing – hearing the Muse – scribbling down what she offers as inspiration. That is my foundation. Once I complete a project, whether poem or piece of art or a manuscript or short story etc., I feel a sense of completion, maybe, but then I leave it behind & turning my focus onto the next piece of work. There is always a list of choices drawing on my attention. Imagination is the source of all creation. How else would there be Neverland or seeing beyond the present into a parallel universe or traveling to the future or the past. The Imagination is more powerful than any force. Nothing compares. The 'others' you speak of are figments of some form of mass hallucinations. 🎈🎈🎈
Far from me may it ever be to seem to disparage another's foundation. Creation is creation however we may depict it.

When will we get answers?
Monday, April 11, 2005
Early on, Jack found some skeletons and a pouch containing black-and-white rocks. Explain. ''The black-and-white stones have been a recurring theme in the show,'' says executive producer Damon Lindelof (e.g., Locke's favorite board game, backgammon, and the mysterious Black Rock). ''We know who those skeletons are, what their story was, and what they were doing with those stones. But that's a question we won't be answering this season.''
Sawyer's backstory intersects with the Jack and Shannon/Boone histories. Does his pre-island life converge with any or all of the others? ''No comment,'' says Lindelof. ''But we'll see, before the end of the season, why he popped up in Boone's flashback.'' - -
Earlier this season, someone knocked out Sayid while he was trying to operate the plane's radio. Who did it, and why? ''You will find out within the next three original episodes, definitively,'' Lindelof says. ''They will find the person, and that person will confess to having done it.'' - -
What's Locke's motive for keeping the hatch secret from the other castaways? ''His motive is revealed soon,'' says Lindelof. ''Everything Locke does he believes is in the best interest of everybody. That's all I'll say.'' - -
Will Michael's raft set sail by season's end — and who will be on it? ''All I can say is, how much would it suck if it didn't set sail?'' asks Lindelof. ''Wouldn't you feel ripped off? I sure would! As to who is on it? Well, the roster ain't set. Yet.'' - -
Charlie was hooked on heroin. Recently, Locke and Boone found heroin on a plane. Discuss. ''One of the things that has made Charlie's ability to kick the habit so easy is that he hasn't had any temptation,'' says Lindelof. ''Reintroducing temptation is part of our intent. The good news, for now, is that he doesn't know that the plane is out there.'' - -
'Trying to find greater meaning in the numbers is the direction we are going to continue in for the rest of season 1,'' says Lindelof. ''Hurley doesn't know that the numbers are on the hatch — what happens when he finds out that the numbers are on the hatch should be interesting. Wouldn't you think?'' - -
Jin worked for his brutish father-in-law; what exactly was his job title? ''He was the executive assistant in charge of finger breaking,'' jokes Lindelof. ''People always ask, 'What's Jin's problem?' There are a few missing pieces that will make it even clearer by season's end why he's acted the way he's acted.''

Fact Sheet
Alternative Emission Pathways
The stabilisation level of atmospheric greenhouse gases depends on how soon global emissions peak and how quickly they decline.
This report examines four alternative emission reduction pathways for Australia, in the context of global action to stabilise at low levels. Under all modelled scenarios, Australia maintains economic growth while reducing carbon pollution.
Emission reduction scenarios
The report examines four scenarios in which Australia and the world follow different pathways to a low‑pollution future. The scenarios are used to explore the potential economic effects of climate change mitigation policy on Australia.
Australia's medium- and long-term emission reduction targets (relative to 2000 levels) in the four scenarios are shown in the following table:
per cent
per cent
|Garnaut −10
per cent
|Garnaut −25
per cent
|Medium-term targets – at 2020
|Per capita
|Long-term targets – at 2050
|Per capita
Reference scenario
The reference scenario assumes current trends in economic activity continue into the future. It does not include the impact of new policies such as the expanded Renewable Energy Target or the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, or the impact climate change itself could have on the economy. This provides a benchmark against which the other four scenarios can be compared.
CPRS −5 and CPRS −15
The CPRS scenarios examine the potential costs of the Government's proposed Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. Under these two scenarios, Australia's action takes place within a multi‑stage global policy framework. National emission pathways gradually diverge from reference scenario emission levels towards substantial reductions in the long term.
The CPRS −5 scenario is consistent with stabilisation of the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases at around 550 parts per million (ppm) by 2100; the CPRS −15 scenario is consistent with stabilisation at around 510 ppm.
Garnaut −10 and Garnaut −25
The Garnaut scenarios were developed jointly by the Treasury and the Garnaut Climate Change Review. These scenarios assume united global action from 2013, representing an optimal post‑2012 international agreement. National contributions are based on a contraction and convergence approach, whereby the allocation of emission rights among countries converges from current levels to equal per capita rights by 2050.
The Garnaut −10 scenario is consistent with stabilisation at around 550 ppm by 2100. Under the Garnaut −25 scenario, concentrations peak above 500 ppm, then decline to around 470 ppm by 2100 (consistent with stabilisation at 450 ppm soon thereafter).
Economic growth continues
Under all the scenarios modelled in the report, Australia and the world continue to grow while making the emission cuts required to reduce the risks of dangerous climate change. The report indicates that efficient mitigation policies that price carbon pollution can break the link between economic growth and emissions and lead Australia to a prosperous low‑pollution future.

Purchasing a tent is, in various ways, comparable to getting a house, albeit on a significantly smaller scale. The four person tent should provide your group enough room to cook and eat and a room to store your camping stuff. From everything it's made of, the Wenzel Evergreen 6 Person tent is great for practically any kind of outdoor activity.
One, be certain it is very well staked out before attempting to erect the tent. Waterproof forms of camping tents are somewhat more flexible to be utilized in sunny and rainy weather. The camping tents we can find on the market nowadays are made to protect us from the elements that will be different in quality, features and recommended use that may ensure it is tricky to select the very best model from such a sizable range.
Generally speaking, a tent is not as stable if they're bigger. The tent also has a vestibule off the front part of the tent which we've found incredibly helpful. As you may enjoy larger tents for bigger fun with plenty of friends, this 6 person tent might be a great relief.
The tent is largely screen. This tent is just one of the best 4 person camping tent. Unlike cars, many tents arrive in many sizes. There are so they available for us to purchase in this current day and age, but a large number of them don't perform the way they are described to. There aren't many 5 man tents in the marketplace.
It is possible to take all you need together with you in a tent and feel like you're at home-even if you're on the other side of the world. Though this tent is heavy enough it can also give a fairly great workout. A 6 person camping tent has become the most frequent tent size for everyone or a group of friends. You've got to pick a tent which best suits your camping calendar.
If you're unsure how to select a tent we would counsel you to look at our information guides we provide that will explain the qualities, designs and other things that provides a person a fantastic idea about what to look for when deciding upon a four person tent. This tent is perfect for campers who want a comfortable and trustworthy tent. If it is what you're looking for, it'll be a good long-term purchase. A 4 man tent is very good for beginners and perhaps even long time camping enthusiasts. In contrast to bringing along two sets of tents to accommodate the exact number of people, the four man dome tent is much lighter to carry around.

On The QWest To Create The Worlds First Tesla Shooting Brake
This is the world's first Tesla-based production Shooting Brake by QWest a Carbon fibre coachbuilding specialist based in Norfolk, UK. The Tesla Shooting Brake is based on the Model S (90) and carries over the standard Model S's 0-60mph time of just 2.8 seconds.
Its visible carbon fibre on the tailgate, rear roof section and D pillar mark it out against the standard car while adding strength and reducing weight.
It's 7.4 cubic feet larger than the standard 90D, but is actually 12kg lighter thanks to QWest's use of carbon fibre. It was developed to be more than simply a conversion – it's an integrated design, an engineered solution that complements the car it's based on.
QWest built the Tesla Shooting Brake after a chat at a nearby pub with a successful, local business man who just purchased his second Tesla. The shooting brake was built to meet the needs... of his dogs.
After spending a year on the project the Tesla Shooting Brake was born. Unintentionally QWest created a halo car, a demonstration of sorts, showcasing their technical expertise in carbon fibre technology.

Spillover from six western Mediterranean marine protected areas: evidence from artisanal fisheries
R. Goñi1,*, S. Adlerstein2, D. Alvarez-Berastegui1, A. Forcada3, O. Reñones1, G. Criquet4, S. Polti5, G. Cadiou6, C. Valle3, P. Lenfant4, P. Bonhomme6, A. Pérez-Ruzafa5, J. L. Sánchez-Lizaso3, J. A. García-Charton5, G. Bernard6, V. Stelzenmüller7, S. Planes4
ABSTRACT: This study investigated spillover (biomass export) around 6 marine protected areas (MPAs) in the western Mediterranean based on catch and effort data from artisanal fisheries. The selected MPAs were Cerbère-Banyuls and Carry-le-Rouet in France, and Medes, Cabrera, Tabarca, and Cabo de Palos in Spain. These MPAs had been functional for more than 8 yr and incorporate areas of fisheries closure and restricted use where fishing is limited. We based our study on the hypotheses that, in the presence of biomass export, (1) fishing effort would concentrate close to MPA boundaries, and (2) fishery production, expressed as catch per unit area (CPUA), would be highest near MPA boundaries and decrease with distance. We selected data from 14 'fishing tactics' using gill nets, trammel nets and bottom long-lines targeting sparids, mullids, serranids, scorpaenids and palinurids. We analyzed the spatial distribution of effort, fishery production and revenues per unit area, using generalized additive models (GAMs), and we tested regression slopes of effort density and CPUA with distance to closure boundaries, using generalized linear models (GLMs). GAMs allowed us to recognize habitat discontinuities or 'hot spots' of high production in the vicinity of the MPAs, and to identify the extent of potential spillover effects in order to implement GLMs. We found evidence of effort concentration and high fishery production near fisheries closures for all fishing tactics analyzed and significant negative slopes for most. Revenues generally followed trends similar to CPUA. Significant negative slopes from GLM of effort density and CPUA with distance from fisheries closures were indicative of biomass export where habitats across closure boundaries had some degree of continuity. The spatial extent of spillover was consistent with species mobility and fisheries efficiency and extended 700 to 2500 m from fishery closure boundaries. Our results suggest that coastal MPAs can be an effective management tool for artisanal fisheries in the region and can be extended to the rest of the western Mediterranean, as the fishing tactics studied are typical of the region.

1. Less is More.
Remember this golden rule. Even if there may be some makeup artists who advise that wearing more than the usual makeup is what will give your features emphasis on camera, don't get easily swayed. According to Westman, lesser foundation is the way to go because the high definition cameras we have today captures caked-on makeup.
For your eyes, cheeks and lips, it's best to wear the makeup which makes you feel most confident and at ease. So if you're used to neutral lippies, don't wear a bold color on your wedding day. However, if you've always been known for your luscious red lips, then by all means, wear it as you take your wedding vows.
2. Make a Perfect Canvas.
A bridal look needs to achieve a luminous effect. Of course, light foundation and concealers are your basic makeup gears; however, don't neglect that highlights can do. If just placed well, it can really make your skin glow. Westman recommends a pearlescent highlight if you have fair skin and a warmer or golden shade for darker tones. Employ highlighter in the lower waterlines as well as your eye's inner corners, on the cupid's bow, on bridge of your nose, on your cheekbones and chin and above the upper lip so that your features will look flattering under the lights.
3. Select Makeup that Lasts Long.
Weddings last for a maximum 4 hours. From your dressing, ceremony, reception and dancing. You'll want to wear makeup that will last through the whole series of events, along with the crying, kissing and hugging people. Opt for color stay products and for lips, select stain or long wearing lipsticks that come with moisturizers. For your skin, employ powder eye shadow in place of cream highlighter as this has more lasting effect.

You know that Qui Entertainment Network is all about #SUPPORT,
so imagine my seeing a FASHION Show Against Bullies — I was a sport.
The tickets were $15/each to the SKYLINE Prep HS event and I bought two of
to convey to the shows organization that I was coming in with MAD LOVE.
I gave the two tickets to one of my staff writers as a treat,
she was to cover the event – her name is CupCakeChique.
And she did cover the event and her review reads like Ether.
The CupCakeChique is known for her sweets blogs of teen life and being a fashionista.
She wrote::
Last weekend I attended the (not sure of the real name) Skyline Prep and Arts Academy Fashion show, the tickets were assigned to me, and since I'm a huge fan of fashion & supporting the local arts, so naturally I was ecstatic to go. It took place at Skyline Prep and Arts Academy, which apparently is a charter K-4 school, off of Baseline and 40th, and if you're from here, that's not exactly the nicest part of Phoenix.
I mentioned that the tickers were given to me, but tickets were $15 a pop, so I was expecting a bang for my buck, or a bang for whoever's buck was spent, so my expectations where high. I wish I could take a picture of the ticket, because if you saw how nice the ticket was you'd have high expectations as well, not to throw shade, but I feel as if they…
