you may cover these, but you don’t necessarily want to.
You could instead take a Flowerpot from the supply and place it on an empty space in your Flowerbed. It’s basically a one-space tile. Cats can also be placed in your Flowerbed.
This game seems like a step up from Patchwork, which was just pure tile placement. Here, you have to consider leaving spaces empty, and are working on two boards at once. The game sounds very intriguing, and looks quite nice as well. I think it’s pretty cool that Rosenberg is focusing in on this particular tile placement mechanism, and exploring it in some very different games. I wonder if he’s got anything else in the works with it – we shall see.

This venerable, naturally dwarfed Ponderosa pine belongs to American/British bonsai artist and teacher, Colin Lewis. Colin lives on the coast of Maine. Ponderosa pines grow in the inland mountains of the western U.S.; two distinctively different environments This post originally appeared here in June, 2011. It was titled Local Bonsai Styles 2: Growing Conditions,  </s> I have been taken to task for not mentioning Bucky Barnes in my recent discussion of Captain America (see “The Sentinel of Liberty”), which was never meant to be a comprehensive analysis of Cap’s career in the first place. Upon reflection, I’ve realized that I feel no guilt whatsoever for that omission. In the Silver and Bronze Age comics that constitute my frame of reference, sidekicks were frowned upon at Marvel, with Rick Jones being a conspicuous but hardly representative exception. First, he was not allied to one specific superhero but gravitated among the Hulk, Captain America, the Avengers, Captain Marvel and Rom. Second, he usually neither wore a costume nor actually mixed it up in battle with said heroes, but rather was essentially a tagalong supporting character. Finally, in the case of Captain Marvel, Rick became much more than a mere sidekick when his use of the Nega-Bands enabled him to spell Mar-Vell in the Negative Zone, making him a veritable alter-ego.
Ah, all this talk of superheroes and their sidekicks takes me back to when my brother and I were kids and heavily into vintage comic books. Being kids, of course, we had no money to spend on the really desirable titles, but if we had, we’d be in the millions now–all of the most sought-after titles–Batman no. 1, Superman no. 1, Action Comics no. 1, Detective Comics no. 27–we could have bought at comic conventions. I think a near-mint copy of Batman no. 1 was priced at $350–a lot of money back then. But now, the comic in good condition can command over a hundred grand! I suspect–though can’t prove–that the concept of a sidekick began with the westerns; maybe someone else knows more about the subject than I do. I recall that Captain America’s sidekick, Bucky, was killed off; was this at the hands of Cap’s archenemy, the Red Skull? I seem to remember that it was. I know opinions on this will vary, but I prefer the loner type of superhero, like Batman before Robin.
Actually, it was the nefarious Baron Zemo who was responsible for not only Bucky’s death but also Cap’s suspended animation, from which he was revived after almost twenty years by the Avengers. Good guess, though.
Actually Bucky has been back for a while in the Marvel Universe:


In Werner Herzog’s 2011 documentary Into the Abyss, the irrepressible German master-turned-Hollywood-adventurer prefaces a series of interviews with two death row inmates, their families, their jailers, and the victims of their multiple murders, by offering an unsolicited point-blank confession to his primary subjects: that he does not sympathize with their predicament, that he will never downplay the severity of their crimes, and that he does not morally condone capital punishment under any circumstances. Then, without missing a beat, he begins asking them intimate, open-ended personal questions. It’s a whopping juxtaposition that highlights the absolute best and bravest qualities of Herzog’s voice as a documentarian: driven by an insatiable curiosity and empathy for human experience, yet uncompromised by the editorial traps of narrative simplification or moral relativism.
Herzog’s Meeting Gorbachev, a profile of the Soviet Union’s final figurehead co-directed by André Singer and featuring extensive original interviews with the then-87-year-old ex-president himself, seems to kick off with a note of similar moral ambivalence. When Herzog asks the aged Gorbachev what he thinks of the German people in light of the two nations’ past century of hostile relations, Gorbachev pauses before offering a sentimental, bordering on trite, anecdote about the friendly German bakery in the rural town where he grew up. “Months later,” Herzog’s familiar, grave voiceover intones, the filmmaker pondered whether Gorbachev had merely shared this story as an attempt to placate him, but concluded that “everything about [Gorbachev] was sincere.” This admission–that Gorbachev’s formidable charisma, still evident in his old age, so overwhelmed the filmmaker’s skepticism as to stop short any critical reading of his motives–effectively summarizes the ensuing 90 minutes, which start as an attempt to profile the kind of tragic figure familiar to Herzog lore before pivoting into something of an awkward, uncritical pat on the back for the former communist juggernaut.
As the film gets down to explaining Gorbachev’s origins and rise to power, it’s not hard to see the angle of classic Herzogian narrative being built up. In Herzog’s telling, buffered by archival materials, serene steady-pan location shots and (of course) his own colorful narration, Gorbachev was–like a certain filmmaker–once young, restless and possessed, a brilliant student with a workaholic demeanor and an insatiable curiosity about other people and the world. Tracking this kindred spirit’s rise from humble peasantry to the halls of the Kremlin, Herzog stumbles on some trademark moments of dark surrealism in excavated rare footage to suggest that the future Premier’s dreams of a world waiting for universal peace through communism may not have been quite in line with the reality of his predecessors. In the film’s most striking sequence, recalling the black comic decadence of Armando Ianucci’s Death of Stalin, we charge deliriously in time through the unnaturally rapid succession of geriatric heads-of-state linking Brezhnev to Gorbachev, propped up by laughable attempts to hide the ailing old men’s unfitness to lead (striking live-sound footage shows a visibly disoriented Brezhnev bungling an honors presentation for Gorbachev) and punctuated by a series of near-identical pompous state funerals.
Herzog takes great pleasure in highlighting the absurdity of it all, in case it weren’t self-evident, but once Gorbachev ascends to the highest seat of power the tone starts to pivot. The bleak absurdism of the system which gave Gorbachev his authority–that is, one of the most repressive and bloodsoaked imperial powers of the 20th century–gradually gives way, more and more uncritically, to a narrative of Gorbachev’s own impassioned idealism. Whereas the film seemed poised to cast Gorbachev as an oblivious quixotic figure amidst a gruesome political reality, the more Herzog hears his inspiring, sagely imparted rhetoric of nuclear disarmament and transnational unity and world peace, the less the film seems able to detach itself from Gorbachev’s perspective on Gorbachev. When Gorbachev takes credit for the warming of relations with the West (clearly the issue of primary emotional interest for Herzog), and even the end of the Cold War itself, Herzog asks the film’s small assortment of talking heads leading questions to get them to endorse Gorbachev’s version of events. When Gorbachev insists that the end of the Cold War was not a loss for Russia, but “a victory for the world”–despite declaring the dissolution of the USSR’s imperial hegemony “a tragedy” several scenes later–Herzog doesn’t question the logic. When Gorbachev vehemently disavows any personal knowledge or complicity in Russia’s infamously destructive mishandling of the Cheronobyl disaster, it’s never brought up again.
Whereas the film begins on an ambiguously, tenuously sentimental note, it ends on an unabashed one, as Herzog poetically dwells on Gorbachev’s warm family life and tender mourning for his late wife. Quixotic subjects are hardly new for Herzog, but he extends Gorbachev an unabashed, unironic sympathy and love–literally, he stands up at one point and declares “I love you,” thanking him for the abolishment of the Berlin Wall–that he never offered the likes of say, kooky, ill-fated grizzly-bear-hugging hippie Timothy Treadwell. The notion that Gorbachev’s idealistic character may have been fundamentally at odds with the office he wielded and the institutions he served is never seriously suggested by either man.
Another even more sobering possibility is all-too-briefly mentioned in the film and never consciously revisited. Recalling an episode early in his career, Gorbachev muses that a senior colleague in the halls of Soviet government once angrily warned that his reformist passions and taste for appeasement would see the USSR crumble around him if he were in charge. That this is exactly what happened is not noted by either party as a point of profound or even noteworthy irony. When it comes to discussing the failures and eventual dissolution of his regime and the Soviet Union at large (with their barely-mentioned, catastrophic consequences of bloody civil war and rising autocratic regimes throughout Eurasia to this day) Gorbachev lays the blame squarely at the feet of backstabbing comrades and warmongering Western leaders, and Herzog gladly echoes him. Neither man dares suggest the ugly possibility that his blind idealism didn’t just him merely a tragic leader, but a weak one. In a rare moment of open self-criticism, Gorbachev ponders that he was perhaps “too soft” on those traitorous countrymen who rallied to unseat him; that he ought to have had them “sent away.” It’s the lone sobering, tantalizing, self-aware peek into the savage realpolitik lurking beneath his noble words.
Meeting Gorbachev played at Tribeca Film Festival and is now in theaters.

. . _I may be lowly, but I talk to gods_.
. . . Wazzer had said 'not your inn'. Had she ever _told_ Wazzer about The Duchess? Surely not. Surely she . . . but, no, she had told Tonker, hadn't she? That was it, then. All explained. Tonker must have mentioned it to Wazzer at some point. Nothing weird about it at all, even if practically no one ever had a conversation with Wazz. It was so hard. She was so intense, so coiled up. But that had to be the only explanation. Yes. She wasn't going to let there be any other.
Polly shivered, and was aware that someone was walking beside her. She looked up and groaned.
'You're a hallucination, right?'
OH, YES. YOU ARE ALL IN A STATE OF HEIGHTENED SENSIBILITY CAUSED BY MENTAL CONTAGION AND LACK OF SLEEP.
'If you're a hallucination, how do _you_ know that?'
I KNOW IT BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT. I AM SIMPLY BETTER AT ARTICULATING IT.
'I'm not going to die, am I? I mean, right now?'
NO. BUT YOU WERE TOLD THAT YOU WOULD WALK WITH DEATH EVERY DAY.
'Oh . . . yes. Corporal Scallot said that.'
HE IS AN OLD FRIEND. YOU MIGHT SAY HE IS ON THE INSTALMENT PLAN.
'Do you mind walking a bit more . . . invisibly?'
OF COURSE. HOW'S THIS?
'And quietly, too?'
There was silence, which was presumably the answer.
'And polish yourself up a bit,' said Polly to the empty air. 'And that robe needs a wash.'
There was no reply, but she felt better for saying it.
Shufti had cooked beef stew with dumplings and herbs. It was magnificent. It was also a mystery.
'I don't recall us passing a cow, private,' said Blouse, as he handed his tin plate along for a second helping.
'Er . . . no, sir.'
'And yet you have acquired beef?'
'Er . . . yes, sir. Er . . . when that writer man came up in his cart, well, when you were talking, er, I crept round and took a look inside . . .'
'There's a name for someone who does that sort of thing, private,' said Blouse severely.
'Yeah, it's quartermaster, Shufti. Well done,' said Jackrum. 'If that writer man gets hungry, he can always eat his words, eh, lieutenant?'
'Er . . . yes,' said Blouse carefully. 'Yes. Of course. Good initiative, private.'
'Oh, I didn't think it up, sir,' said Shufti brightly. 'Sarge told me to.'
Polly stopped, spoon halfway to her mouth, and swivelled her eyes from sergeant to lieutenant.
'You teach looting, sergeant?' said Blouse. There was a joint gasp from the squad. If this was the bar back at The Duchess, the regulars would have been hurrying out of the doors and Polly would have been helping her father get the bottles off the shelf.
'Not looting, sir, not looting,' said Jackrum, calmly licking his spoon. 'Under Duchess's Regulations, Rule 611, Section 1 [c], Paragraph i, sir, it would be plundering, said cart being the property of bloody Ankh-Morpork, sir, which is aiding and abetting the enemy. Plundering is _allowed_ , sir.'
The two men held eye contact for a moment, and then Blouse reached behind him and into his pack. Polly saw him draw out a small yet thick book.
'Rule 611,' he murmured. Blouse glanced up at the sergeant, and thumbed through the thin, shiny pages. '611. Pillaging, Plundering and Looting. Ah, yes. And . . . let me see . . . you are with us, Sergeant Jackrum, owing to Rule 796, I think you reminded me at the time . . .'
There was another silence broken only by the riffle of the pages. There's no Rule 796, Polly remembered. Are they going to _fight_ over this?
'796, 796,' said Blouse softly. 'Ah . . .' He stared at the page, and Jackrum stared at him.
Blouse closed the book with a leathery _flwap_. 'Absolutely correct, sergeant!' he said brightly. 'I commend you on your encyclopaedic knowledge of the regulations!'
Jackrum looked thunderous. 'What?'
'You were practically word perfect, sergeant!' said Blouse. And there was a gleam in his eye. Polly remembered Blouse looking at the captured cavalry captain. This was that same look, the look which said: _now_ I have the upper hand.
Jackrum's chins wobbled.
'You had something to add, sergeant?' said Blouse.
'Er, no . . . sir,' said Jackrum, his face an open declaration of war.
'We'll leave at moonrise,' said Blouse. 'I suggest we all get some rest until then. And then . . . may we prevail.' He nodded to the group, and walked over to where Polly had spread his blanket in the lee of the bushes. After a few moments there were some snores, which Polly refused to believe. Jackrum certainly didn't. He got up and strode out of the firelight. Polly hurried after him.
'Did you hear that?' snarled the sergeant, staring out at the darkening hills. 'The little yoyo! What right has he got, checking up in the book o' words?'
'Well, you did quote chapter and verse, sarge,' said Polly.
'So? Officers are s'posed to believe what they're told. And then he _smiled_! Did you see? Caught me out and smiled at me! Thinks he's got one over on me, just because he caught me out!'
'You did lie, sarge.'
' _I did not, Perks!_ It's not lying when you do it to officers! It's presentin' them with the world the way they think it ought to be! You can't let 'em start checkin' up for themselves. They get the wrong ideas. I told you, he'll be the death of all of us. Invading the bloody keep? The man's wrong in the head!'
'Sarge!' said Polly urgently.
'We're being signalled, sarge!'
On a distant hilltop, twinkling like an early evening star, a white light was flashing.
Blouse lowered his telescope. 'They're repeating "CQ",' he said. 'And I believe those longer pauses are when they're aiming their tube in different directions. They're looking for their spies. "Seek You", see? Private Igor?'
'Thur?'
'You know how that tube works, don't you?'
'Oh, yeth, thur. You jutht light a flare in the box, and then it'th just point and click.'
'You're not going to _answer_ it, are you, sir?' said Jackrum, horrified.
'I am indeed, sergeant,' said Blouse briskly. 'Private Carborundum, please assemble the tube. Manickle, please bring the lantern. I shall need to read the code book.'
'But that'll give away our position!' said Jackrum.
'No, sergeant, because although this term may be unfamiliar to you I intend to what we call "lie",' said Blouse. 'Igor, I'm sure you have some scissors, although I'd rather you didn't attempt to repeat the word.'
'I have thome of the appliantheth you mention, thur,' said Igorina stiffly.
'Good.' Blouse looked round. 'It's almost pitch dark now

Novel Pole Photogrammetric System for Low-Cost Documentation of Archaeological Sites: The Case Study of “Cueva Pintada”
Del Pozo, Susana
Hernández-López, David
Onrubia-Pintado, Jorge
Guerrero-Sevilla, Diego
Close-range photogrammetry is a powerful and widely used technique for 3D reconstruction of archaeological environments, specifically when a high-level detail is required. This paper presents an innovative low-cost system that allows high quality and detailed reconstructions of indoor complex scenarios with unfavorable lighting conditions by means of close-range nadir and oblique images as an alternative to drone acquisitions for those places where the use of drones is limited or discouraged: (i) indoor scenarios in which both loss of GNSS signal and need of long exposure times occur, (ii) scenarios with risk of raising dust in suspension due to the proximity to the ground and (iii) complex scenarios with variability in the presence of nooks and vertical elements of different heights. The low-altitude aerial view reached with this system allows high-quality 3D documentation of complex scenarios helped by its ergonomic design, self-stability, lightness, and flexibility of handling. In addition, its interchangeable and remote-control support allows to board different sensors and perform both acquisitions that follow the ideal photogrammetric epipolar geometry but also acquisitions with geometry variations that favor a more complete and reliable reconstruction by avoiding occlusions. This versatile pole photogrammetry system has been successfully used to 3D reconstruct and document the “Cueva Pintada” archaeological site located in Gran Canaria (Spain), of approximately 5400 m2 with a Canon EOS 5D MARK II SLR digital camera. As final products: (i) a great quality photorealistic 3D model of 1.47 mm resolution and ±8.4 mm accuracy, (ii) detailed orthophotos of the main assets of the archaeological remains and (iii) a visor 3D with associated information on the structures, materials and plans of the site were obtained.

Gone are the days when the only color you could find in an office was the traditional black, beige, cream or white. These days, the rules on color in the office are less strict. Most offices now experiment with other colors for beauty, and it works for them, but that’s not all color is for.
Studies have shown that certain colors can boost productivity and creativity in workplaces. In fact, a science (chromology) is dedicated to studying the effects different colors have on the human mind:
Blue has been proven to stimulate the mind. It therefore encourages concentration and boosts productivity.
Green induces positive emotions. It doesn’t cause eye fatigue, so it is good in places where people work for long hours.
Red invokes emotion and passion. It grabs attention and increases heart rate and body metabolism. It is therefore associated with physical activity.
Yellow can stimulate creativity, positive emotions and optimism.
Color can also be used to differentiate your products from competitors’ and even induce positive feelings and attitudes towards certain products.
If you have good reason for choosing the traditional colors for your office, you may get contrasting colors for your ceiling and floor. Chairs, tables, rugs, table legs and dividers can also come in different colors and finishes.  Also color can be used to distinguish between different departments in your office.

As much as I enjoyed Mexican Gothic, I just can’t bring myself to give the book a perfect score. It’s a great read but I just wasn’t blown away. At the end of the day though, it’s a solid horror novel and a perfect example of what modern writers of Gothic fiction should strive to achieve in their works. This is the second book I’ve read by Moreno-Garcia, and her strengths as a writer have done nothing but improve in recent years. She is most certainly an author avid readers should keep their eye on. For now, check out her newest novel, Mexican Gothic.

Some of the famous characters he's put on a dollar bill are Yoda, Spock, Ronald McDonald, Pinhead, and Mr. T.


Three Seas Initiative – President Kaljulaid in Munich: Estonia aims to make the Three Seas Initiative more practical
Three Seas Initiative roundtable at the Munich Security Conference.
"Estonia aims to bring more practical aspects to the table during this summer's Three Seas Summit," President Kersti Kaljulaid said during the Three Seas Initiative roundtable at the Munich Security Conference where she gave a talk with Dan Brouillette, Energy Secretary of the US. “Proposed topics include the objectives and finance scheme of the Three Seas Investment Fund. Today in Munich, US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo claimed that the States plan to pledge 1 billion dollars to the Three Seas projects, which demonstrates their trust in the economy of our region."
"The states of the Three Seas make up a third of the European Union's area and altogether 105 million people inhabit these countries," the Head of State explained. "However, the GDP of these states makes up less than a fifth of the European Union's. Therefore, it is crucial to find ways to attract more investments into the infrastructure, energy and digital solutions of these countries and thus promote cooperation between European states."
"In order for us to cooperate efficiently in the fields of infrastructure and energy, we must also pay special attention to digitalisation and smart connectivity," the Head of the Republic of Estonia added. "One of the aims of the Three Seas Initiative Summit in Tallinn is to set higher standards for states' digital cooperation and the development of digital literacy."
Only four months remain until the Summit in Estonia. The objective of the meeting is to arrive at a common understanding of the Initiative's goals and decide how to move forward. The Three Seas Initiative brings together 12 member states of the European Union located between the Adriatic, the Baltic and the Black Sea: Austria, Bulgaria, Estonia, Croatia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Hungary. Important partners include the United States of America, the European Union and Germany. The objective of the Three Seas is to further cooperation in the energy, transport and digital sectors. This helps develop infrastructure and thus contribute to the economy and security of member states as well as cultivate a sense of belonging within the Union.

Corporate cultures would increasingly steer individual beliefs and behaviors, and strong forces would push these industrial giants to be less driven by profits and more ethically reponsible, since employees would want to be a “citizens” of a corporate state in which they could take pride. Similarly, stockholders wanted to be able to be proud of their holdings, as well as make money with them. His book explaining this theory, “The New Industrial State,” was a sensation. Part of the motive behind the book, my professor being a big government advocate too, was to lay the foundation of the case that these new “states” had to be carefully guided and regulated lest one go rogue and abuse its power to disastrous effect. Still, the position of the book was optimistic: the new giant corporations were scary, but there were forces at work that would make them want to be good and do good while making all that money.

Ethics Quiz: Ad Hominem Or Not?
I frequently find myself correcting commenters who accuse me of ad hominem attack when I diagnose their problem, based on their arguments as jerkism or mental deficiency. (I recently found one legal blogger who actually states that if a commenter uses the term incorrectly, the comment will be rejected). Ad hominem is an argument fallacy that holds that if a messenger is flawed, his or her argument can’t be valid. It’s a cheap debate tactic, and unethical.
African-American pastor Mark Burns is a rafter-shaking speaker and an unusual and useful advocate for Donald Trump. He has been on cable news segments frequently, and even spoke at the GOP Convention. Being black, he is obviously roundly detested by those who regard Trump as a bigot, indeed by those who just dislike Trump generally. This almost certainly includes journalists on CNN, a Hillary stronghold.

Potential bidders were informed this week that a formal tender call has been put off until next year, raising questions about whether the continued delays could potentially cost lives.
Defence sources said Industry Canada has raised concern about the regional industrial benefits, and Public Works questioned the process for selecting the new search plane.
"It's been close three times, but it's been pulled back three times," said one senior official.
The program, originally announced by the Martin government, has been stuck for nearly a decade.
But the fact it will take another year to get to that stage worries Liberal defence critic John McKay.
"I don't get it," he said Friday. "It's not as if this procurement hasn't been around for years, decades in fact. And I, for the life of me,ocurement."
There were allegations five years ago that the air force had rigged the bid criteria to favour the Italian-built C-27J Spartan, prompting defence minister to order anil.
But McKay said the issue has been studied and consulted in detail, and it's time to open up to formal tender.
It's a matter of public safety, he said.
McKay said the Harper government has lost its bragging rights thanks to the search plane dilemma. </s> 2012 is officially the year of the cookbook.
First it was Elizabeth Falkner, Dominique Crenn, Traci Des Jardins, David Kinch and Josh Skenes. And now, Humphry Slocombe is joining the party.
On April 25, together with writer Paolo Lucchesi, will release the "Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book" -- a cookbook loaded with 40 of the shop's secret recipes.
While the flavor selection is still under wraps, Slocombe-lovers will allegedly be able to whip up flavors like Harvey Milk and Honey, Foie Gras (still legal) or Cucumber Ice Milk whenever their hearts desire. But according to Wired, one flavor recipe will most definitely be included: Secret Breakfast -- the shop's Holy Grail.
So why the book? "A lot of people can't get to our place and this is a way to share it," said Vahey in the video.

ApBut Gideon also had a question for God when the angel told him that the Lord was with him (v.12): “‘Pardon me, my L Judges 6:13).
That seems to be a fair question. And one I have asked God. If you are so good, why are things such a mess here, God? Why is my life such a mess? Have you ever asked God that?
And God was with Gideon! God sent him out with 300 men against 150,000 and God had the victory! In the natural, there is no way 300 men could defeat 150,000; but with God, all thing are possible! (Matthew 19:26)
He was willing to change his beliefs to step into the destiny that God had for him. What are you believing today? What label have you or someone else placed on you? Are you too young, too old, too fat, too thin, too tired, too shameful, too…?
April 12, 2016 by Joyce Schneider	For The One
One soon-to-be mother brought tears to my heart when she explained to us that she was in the hospital waiting to find out if her unborn baby was still alive inside her. My heart caught in my throat as I remembered the pain of finding out that Chance was no longer alive, and I prayed fervently that she would not receive that same message.
After the maternity ward, we had a choice to go to the oncology or surgery floor. We chose oncology. We prayed for several men who were suffering various ailments, and then as we were standing outside a room, determining where we should go next, a young woman approached us. Would we come quickly and pray for her brother? He was dying. He had decided that he didn’t want to live any longer. His wife had left him, and he could not face the pain of her departure. So he decided to take his own life by drinking some sort of poison. The doctors said he would die that day; his organs were shutting down.
I know I probably can’t convey the depth of the emotions of that event, but know that it was truly a miracle from Jesus that we were allowed to see in that room—the healing hand of the Lord in action, right before our eyes. So humbling, so amazing.
April 9, 2016 by Joyce Schneider	Change – Are You Willing?
One day, Jesus was in Jerusalem at one of the celebrations. He happened upon a man who had been crippled, an invalid, for thirty-eight years.The guy was hanging out by a pool with a bunch of other guys who were disabled. There was a belief d whoever got into the pool would be healed. Jesus asked the man, “Do you want to be healed?” ( John 5:1–9)
Maybe he had a false belief system. Maybe he believed a lie? Maybe he felt like he wasn’t good enough to be in the pool. Or he was a victim who couldn’t get into the waters because he had no one to help him.
Maybe you feel like physical healing isn’t for today? It was okay when Jesus was walking around healing, but Jesus isn’t here today, is he?
March 31, 2016 by Joyce Schneider	Believe and Receive—1 Timothy 1:15–16
And this abundant life starts with my belief system:
It doesn’t hurt that much. You can handle it. But even- tually, the BB causes much damage in your leg. It infects the tissue around it and your leg gets really sore and you can’t walk and then you spike a fever and you have to tell your mother the truth. You have to get that BB out. Your leg will never heal as long as it’s in there.
Your BB might be something as innocent as your brother calling you fat. And you aren’t, but that constant teasing has brought about in you a lifelong habit of eating disorders.
Or maybe you were molested as a child and you now live a life of shame and guilt. It wasn’t your fault, but you took on the burden, and you’ve carried it for years. As a result, it’s been very difficult for you to have a healthy relation- ship. You’ve been in and out of relationships your entire adult life.

Long Day's Journey Into Night A young writer tries to find...
Long Day's Journey Into Night is a film that hinges on the acting and direction. O'Neill provided the timeless and tragic story. Sidney Lumet's direction is a masterful example of not resorting to adding props and effects to make the film slick. The cast performed flawlessly. One cannot help but to be deeply moved by the raw exposure of these tragic figures. The issues addressed in Long Day's Journey touch us all to some degree. The brutally honest words Eugene O'Neill wrote regarding his family and himself are not spiteful. It's a film that I watch often, and I never fail to appreciate something more. If you haven't seen it, buy it!
As a fan of each of the principals in this movie (Hepurn, Richardson, Stockwell, Robards) it was delightful to see them together, in a little film I'd never even heard of before. There is real acting in this, its about a human story, devoid of special effects, fancy camera work, exotic sets or locations...just the story and the actors who characterize it. It kept my rapt attention all the way through; I didnt even want to leave the room to make popcorn. This was probably one of the last great B&W pictures, and that's a shame. The emotions and passion of the lives portrayed are so much more intense and vivid in B&W, undistracted by visuals.I would rank this film up there with such monochrome classics as "Witness for the Prosecution" or "Dr. Erlich's Magic Bullet", that you can watch repeatedly and never tire of the experience. I hope this comes on again soon; I missed the first several minutes of it, happening on it by chance while surfing the dial. Make your popcorn ahead of time!


Two issues ago, in a column chronicling my adventures with the Big Nazo monster puppet troupe, I issued an alert for what I assumed at the time was the opening advance of an alien invasion. Today, I offer an apology for my error, because it appears that the aliens are already among us, and have been for some time. So, with a friendly salute to our benevolent visitors from regions beyond, I present two case studies proving the existence of extraordinary emigrants in our midst.
Anna McCambridge-Thomas, chair of the event, told me she wanted to bring the feel of Montmartre into the museum, and based on my extensive research (cited above), I think she succeeded. It started with Loch Haven's perpetual PITA parking situation – just like Paris – and the steady drumbeat of rain – again, just like Paris. The snaking line of several dozen umbrella-sheltered patrons waiting in the wet to enter the museum formed a particularly Parisian picture and was also an early sign that this was to be one of the better-attended 1st Thursdays I've been to.
Conclusion: Though there is anecdotal evidence that these "French" beings may mutate into cheese-eating frogs, they've got good taste. Verdict: Mostly harmless.
Between the life-sized facehugger sculpture (hung with a small sign saying "Do Not Molest") and the Playalien magazine cover (featuring the queen alien in a bikini), it's hard to pick a favorite piece. But I especially adored Cake Marques' "More Fun With Our Friends" ("A Little Weyland Yutani Corp. Book"), a spot-on Little Golden Books satire with a comically chilling twist.

Many customer fall into this trap by the Credit Card issuing banks and opt for Credit Cards for fuel benefits. The customer while applying for the credit card should check whether the cashback on fuel is over and above the fuel surcharge waiver or not.
The customer will benefit only if the Cash back is over and above the 2.5% Fuel Surcharge waiver. I did a research of all the credit cards being issued by the major banks in India and found only 3 banks in India which are offering cash back on Fuel.
The 3 credit cards which offer cash back on fuel are as follows:-
- ICICI Coral HP Credit Card
Instead of direct cashback, most banks offer Reward Points and Surcharge waiver on Fuel Payments. Cashback is always better than Reward Points because Reward Points are never equivalent to Cash.
Credit Cards in India which offer Cashback on Fuel
The main offerings of the credit cards which offer cashback on Fuel are mentioned below. These credit cards have been mentioned in the order of the benefits offered by them i.e. the credit card with most benefits on Fuel has been mentioned in the beginning itself.
Here are some of the salient features of the Standard Chartered Credit Card
- 5% Cashback for all Fuel Spends (on all Fuel Outlets ie BPCL, HPCL, IOC)
- 5% Cashback for all Phone Bills
- 5% Cashback for all Utility Bill Payments
- Get 20% cashback on Uber Rides.
As Standard Chartered gives 5% Cashback not only on Fuel Spends but also for Phone Bill spends as well as on payment of Utility Bill Payments – this Card offers the most benefits to its users and is therefore the most preferred credit card.
We would give it the Number 1 rating as this is the most preferred credit card. To read more about the features of this credit card or to apply online for this credit card which will help you save a lot of money, kindly refer the following link:-

These reward points can be directly claimed at several merchant outlets like HPCL Petrol Pumps, Bookmyshow etc.

Is it time for official new Tintin adventures?
I don't like the recent Simpsons seasons, IMO, the 9 first seasons were brilliant but starting on season 10, the show's quality began to drop, less subtle jokes, more outlandish plots, absence of drama...
*But I may just be saying this to slip under the English teacher's comic detector!
Do they still write novels based on recently-released films?
Hello Tintin fans!
My main question is: "Should Tintin once and for all be resurrected?"
I'd love to see Tintin being brought back!Although Steven Spielberg And Peter Jackson have been the most recent people to do so (and very brilliantly, I may add), I don't see why he shouldn't be brought to the 21st century (see : BBC's Sherlock). Some say it might not carry the charm of the originals, but how do we know that?
I do agree with the statements about modern political correctness. It would be hard for someone to include Haddock's drinking in the series without it being rated higher than G. Again, I go back to the 2011 movie. Spielberg did a good job of including all of the original Tintin story elements, while not making the movie inappropriate or too violent. Actually, now that I think about it, Spielberg did make cartoons in the 80's. Maybe he could make a new Tintin series!


Q: Python - Returning Exception in unittest im starting to learn TDD and got the Bowling Game kata as exercise.
class BowlingGame(object):
    def roll(self, pins):
        if pins < 0:
class BowlingGameTest(unittest.TestCase):
        self._game = BowlingGame()
        #Want to catch exception here with self.assert or except
The problem is that if i return for example 0/0 the exception is raised in the BowlingGame class and not in the BowlingGameTest class (there are in two diferent files).
    self.game.roll(-1)
    if pins < 0:
Returning an exception actually returns the class object, but if you raise an exception, it will throw an error like you want.

(2018), Diana Holmes argues that middlebrow matters precisely because its immersive and plot-driven narrative have the potential to ‘extend [one’s] cognitive and emotional range beyond that of direct, lived experience, enabling an experimental assent to alternative ways of seeing and reacting to the world’ (17). In this way, the immersive potential of literature, as well as other media, can allow for both personal and interpersonal transformation; immersivity can enable us to – what Judith Butler calls a ‘threshold zone’ (Butler and Athanasiou, 2013) – and to ‘identif[y] with [an]other who is not like ourself’ (Huston 2008, 182-183). Immersivity is an exemplar of what reading fiction can achieve, which allows us to simulate other people’s experiences based on our own ‘repertoire’, ‘encyclopedia’ or ‘experiential background’ (Alderson-Day et al 2017, 99). This symposium therefore aims to explore the pleasurable, productive and transformative capacity of immersivity, taking into consideration contemporary concerns and applications, and to extend the study of immersive literature to a broader consideration of hybrid media.
We invite papers that explore literatures and hybrid media using immersivity, plot-driven narrative, realism and mimesis, or other textual modes of engaging readers to connect with broader cultural or political concerns, and in particular those that affect female-identifying readers. Papers may also focus on haptic and affective representation, as immersive experience may be said to involve the body or to appeal to the emotions and thus a lived experience of the world.
- Pleasures of reading/the text
- Networks and mediation
- Escapism as a theme in female authored narrative/works
- Feminist discourse and its relation to both marginal and popular culture
- The materiality of the book
- The marketing of immersive fiction
- Literary prizes and questions of gender and inclusivity
- Relationships between the work and the body (haptic or affective qualities)
- Political or cultural messages delivered through the immersive qualities of a work (mimesis, plot-driven narrative, etc.)
- Immersive aesthetics or poetics
- Immersion as a theme itself in immersive works (e.g. in water, the archive)
Proposals are welcome in both English and French.
Please do not hesitate to send us any queries, and we hope to hear from you soon.

At work last week I demo'ed some python parallel processing tricks.  Nothing fancy -- just standard usage of the multiprocessing library -- but these things can be a revelation if you haven't seen them before.
Like many things, python makes basic multiprocessing very easy: ~8 more lines of code can let you use all 8 cores of your laptop.  In practical terms, it's lovely to improve your workflow from "run algorithm preprocessing overnight" to "run algorithm preprocessing during lunch."
# e.g. "accepts a filename and returns results in a tuple"
my_results = my_pool.map( my_func, my_list )
That's all it takes.  A few tips:
First, the mapped function can only accept a single argument.  This is usually pretty easy to solve, by wrapping the arguments as a tuple:
def my_function( threeple_arg ):
arg_1, arg_2, arg_3 = threeple_arg
Second, debugging in multiprocessing is a pain.  I often invoke the function this way first for debugging, then switch to multiprocessing once I know everything works:
#my_results = [my_func(item) for item in my_data_list]
It's a little hacky, but I'll often leave the line as a comment throughout development, switching between serial and parallel processing as need demands.
Last, a hint on Pool: you can pass an integer to the initialization routine to tell it how many subprocesses to use:
If you omit the argument, python assumes you want to run as many subprocesses (not threads!) as you have cores (e.g. 8 on a MacBooks pro).  If you want to save some processing power for other tasks, you might want to specify something lower, like 6.
If you're running tasks with high latency (e.g. web spidering, or lots of disk read/writes across a network) it sometimes makes sense to use more subprocesses than you have cores.  For example, I'll often throw 40 pool workers at a quick web-scraping script, just to speed things up.  However, if performance really matters, Pools with latency are very hard to tune and scale.  For anything more than a one-off data grab, you'll be better off with a queue-based tool, like scrapy, Amazon SQS, or celery.

"It's the time of year for the man-of- war and they are painful," said Bruce Koski, a Fort Lauderdale lifeguard. "There were some tears here."
"The tentacles are hard to see," said Lee Magnuson, a Deerfield Beach lifeguard. "People go into the water waist-deep and they get stung. Sometimes children try to pop the bubble part (of a tentacle) and they get stung that way."
"It was extremely painful," said Buyukdura, who wentl. "They told me to put meat tenderizer on it and we went and bought some."
Buyukdura's brother, Tom Rafterybro, who is visiting from Ireland, said: "We were walking along on the beach when we heard her scream. We turned around and saw her holding her leg and saw them laying all around her."

Aztex's lightweight reinforced foam, X-Cor™, product was nominated for the prestigious recent US Defense Manufacturers Conference.
The new X-Cor™ reinforced structures have been currently base-lined for several structures in the Comanche with a plan to eventually replace nearly all of the honeycomb parts. The weight savings will exceed 10% and will account for over 50kgs of weight on the airframe. Additionally there will be very large savings in non-recurring tooling costs and the customer will be able to change part configurations with no re-tooling expenses. Aztex will have the new X-Cor™ capacity on-line in April 2002.

Irish and British governments in secret talks with dissident IRA groups says McGuinness
says. Sinn Fein recently stated that they had held talks with the groups.
Both governments have long stated that they would never negotiate with the dissidents while their violent campaign is continuing and they quickly denied the McGuinness assertion.
In a related development the U. State Department annual audit of terrorist groups stated for the first time that Irish Americans were aiding some of the terrorist groups in Northern Ireland.
McGuinness, a former IRA leader who was often in secret talks with Britain prior to the peace process, said he expected the governments to deny the talks.
Two groups the Continuity IRA and the Real IRA have continued to try and undermine the peace process.
The Real IRA carried out the most deadly attack of the troubles, killed 29 civilians in Omagh,County Tyrone in 1998 , mostly women and children.
n recent years both organizations have carried out sporadic campaigns of violence.
For the first time the State Department annual report stated that both groups have secured cash and support from America, an assertion strongly denied in Irish American circles where very little support is noted.


One the most popular tourist attractions in the Midlands is set to open a brand new 'splash park' as we head towards a hot summer. Conkers, which is located 45 minutes away from Stoke-on-Trent down the A50, is opening a new Conkers Cove splash park, which will feature a pirate ship and interactive bubbling jets among other aquatic activities.
All activities are powered by movement. This means that the more children explore the park, the wetter it will be according to a spokesperson for the park.
The park, in Swadlincote, will be open during the Easter holidays. It has been backed by The National Forest Charitable Trust, StaffordshireLive reports.

“From the newly-installed fun and engaging pieces scattered across the brightly coloured cove, with the clever installation for inclusive play, Conkers is to come along and enjoy yet another great experience on their day out.

A Modest Proposal for the ABC
The Germans, for whom efficiency and precision are cardinal virtues, have a highly effective way of paying for their national broadcasting serviceor ARD. Citizens who listen to and watch its programs pay a voluntary tax, collected by the government together with their income tax and passed direct to the ARD. Those who for whatever reason wish to disavail themselves of the state broadcaster’s services have only to register as non-viewers or listeners and they pay nothing.
The arrangement suits everyone. The ARD—the second-biggest public broadcaster in the world after the BBC—is publicly funded but no one who disapproves of its output is obliged to hand out money to keep it on the air. One consequence is that the ARD takes a close interest in the demographics of those who do not pay the tax and conducts surveys and designs programs to try to win them back. People who have opted out one year can sometimes be persuaded to opt in again the next.
Dr’s ’s lofty status as to complain about it?
Before attempting to answer that, a clarification. The account above is, as the late Edgar Lustgarten used to say at the end of his masterly little crime films in the 1950s series Scotland Yard, “a true story, with only the names changed”. For ARD substitute Christian churches in Germany. They are financed by a tax exactly as described, which no one has to pay. What follows is a modest proposal that, yes, we do have something to learn from the German system. A voluntary tax is the way we should finance the ABC. “groupthink” of its staff. But what? Tinkering with the present arrangements won’t change much. It might prompt a bit more window-dressing to give the impression of balance but the political and cultural assumptions that underpin ABC output would remain. The ABC as a structure must be reformed, and the way it is financed would be a good place to start. (This of course assumes that we need any form of government-sponsored broadcasting service, an assumption that I should have thought far from proven. I doubt though that selling off the ABC is an option the Coalition would pursue.)
If we have to keep the ABC we can still curb its high-handedness. At present the corporation is presented with a sum of taxpayers’ money to use as it will. A voluntary tax would make the ABC more responsive to public opinion by tying the broadcaster into a direct relationship with its audience of the sort it can currently afford to ignore. It could of course continue to supplement its income with revenue from its sundry commercial activities, its ABC shops and so on. And its endless on-air commercials for itself, especially on television, which are irritating without telling you anything you are interested in knowing about or don’t already know, could be made to pay by using the time to advertise real things, as on SBS.
The ABC might further benefit from a re-examination of its corporate structure. It was conceived as a radio broadcaster, onto which television was subsequently grafted. The ABC follows the model of the old Postmaster-General’s Department, which used to run both postal and telephone services. The PMG was split up years ago and the same should happen to the ABC. Radio and television are different forms of creative endeavour requiring different skills and the fact that they both transmit “over the air” is not sufficient reason for keeping them together, any more than a common use of airspace would be a reason for the RAAF to run Qantas.
The ABC has only itself to thank that there is a growing demand for its reform. It has fouled its own nest. Quite apart from its childish indulgence in bias it has repeatedly abdicated its responsibility to produce the kind of programs commercial broadcasters will (supposedly) not produce, programs that are the raison d’être of its privileged status. This is especially true of television: indeed, an argument could be made that television has dragged the ABC down, because it is there that the corporation’s mistake of forgetting that its public funding is supposed to keep it out of the marketplace is most visible. The ABC does not have to, and therefore should not, compete for ratings. But it does, and with the unfair advantage over commercial competitors that whereas they, when airing tripe, have to ensure that it is tripe some advertiser is prepared to sponsor, the ABC can program anything its progressive documentary-makers, its leaden-penned drama scriptwriters or its “edgy” middle-aged “young” comedians can come up with, with total impunity.’? Pace Mr Finkelstein QC and his groupies, the Murdoch organisation’s biases are nothing like as evident in its output as are those of the ABC, especially in current affairs. Besides, much ABC non-news programming is already outsourced so the principle is established even within the corporation as it is. And if bringing in outside operators to run ABC news and current affairs were objected to as wasting all that talent and expertise we’re always hearing about from ABC apologists, there is nothing to stop current ABC staff forming consortiums to bid to make the programs on which they had hitherto been employed, if they could overcome their pampered self-indulgence.
A voluntary tax would have the additional virtue of giving those who are most vocal in support of the ABC the opportunity to pay even more for the benefit of their beloved institution. For an extra annual amount you could have your name inscribed on some roll of honour as a silver or gold ABC taxpayer. Imagine the pride that Friends of the ABC would feel driving around in their elderly Volvos with a windscreen sticker reading “Platinum ABC Taxpayer On Board”.

Prince William and Kate have arrived in Cornwall for the start of their two-day mini tour. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who travelled with an entourage of six via private jet, will carry out a day of engagements in Truro and Newquay before checking into a romantic manor house.
William and Kate will spend Thursday  that sleeps 18 and can cost up to £6,250 a week to rent. Kate's family the Middletons previously stayed there in 2010, paying roughly £3,000 for their booking over Christmas.
The property is fittingly's father Prince Charles.
The purpose of William and Kate's trip is to meet local organisations, businesses and charities, as well as visit a number of Duchy of Cornwall projects.
Kate dressed for the mild weather, wearing a pale pink Lela Rose dress while William looked smart in a blazer and chinos. The future King was greeted with open arms by one well-wisher Linda Moore, a retired teaching assistant who has met William's late mother Princess Diana.

William added: "It The Duchess agreed, saying:
The couple also learnt how Wave Project uses surfing to help reduce anxiety in children, and improve their mental wellbeing, a cause that the royals have long championed.
William and Kate also made a stop at the Healeys Cyder Farm in Penhallow, near Truro, where they indulged in some pre-lunch drinking. The Duchess was invited to pull a pint and giggled as she said: "I've never mastered this!"
Kate handed the 6% Rattler to her cider-loving husband who said it tasted "just like it does in the pub". Owner Joe Healey then brandished bottles of cider that had been matured in variously whiskey, brandy and rum barrels. "Rum?! This is where the engagement really goes downhill!" laughed William.
Nevertheless the couple carried on with gusto, sampling some whiskey, strawberry wine and tangy apple juice. William and Kate were also presented with some gifts for their children - a toy rabbit for Charlotte and a tractor for George.


The End of 'The End of the Great Big American Voice'?
There are, of course, reasons beyond drugs and alcohol for the vocal problems that have recently led to shorter careers. Midgette cites issues with the training programs, including too few lessons (a concern echoed by Marilyn Horne, who argues that once a week is not enough) and the American conservatory system's favoring of ""
But is it that we're currently experiencing a drought of big voices?Or, in a Sunset Boulevard kind of way, is it not the voices that are getting smaller, but the houses that are getting bigger?
And what of the even warmer bodies onstage?
"To do Così fan tutte in the 600-seat house [at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater] gives you a much closer sense of what Mozart was hearing," Steel adds, "and allows you to work with people who have the right scale voices for the parts."
"Bigger, stronger, faster" is a phrase tossed around a lot in America. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit many works from the era of Monteverdi, Handel, and Mozart—nor does the cut seem well tailored to Britten's Turn of the Screw, Poulenc's La voix humaine, or Schoenberg's Erwartung. Yet, as I consider this, sed the question: "Is intimate theatre 'decadent'?" Naturally, the idea of smaller houses can be taken to the other extreme with performances for small groups—small enough for, say, Adrian Howells to wash the feet of each individual audience member. Are these any more financially viable or profitable in what is increasingly becoming a double-dip recession?Edinburgh Fringe Festival playwright David Greig is quoted by Higgins as saying, "t's ."
It's a delicate balance. And it calls into question the chief purpose of opera, or theater on the whole: Do we serve the widest audience with the lowest common denominator?Is that fair to say in an industry with singers like Anna Netrebko, Stephanie Blythe, Quinn Kelsey, and Sasha Cooke?Do we need to change the American conservatory system to ensure a nurturing of talent beyond creating a "baseball-like farm system"?Or do we need a greater number of opportunities for what Steel says are "a whole phalanx of modern singers who don't have that stentorian vibe"?
"It's absolutely a part of life in a large house that you have to hire people on size," Steel says, adding somewhat mournfully, "Sometimes even before beauty."

On 17 May 2011, the Government published a white paper and draft Bill on reforming the House of Lords, containing proposals for a reformed House of 300 members, 80 percent of whom would be elected using the single transferable vote, with the transition to the new House staggered over three electoral cycles beginning in 2015. This Library Note briefly sets out the Government’s proposals; summarises the statements announcing the proposals and reaction to those statements in both the Commons and the Lords; and outlines the reaction to the proposals from selected newspapers and a range of commentators. Other Lords Library Notes provide background information on the subject of House of Lords reform, including 'Possible Implications of House of Lords Reform' (25 June 2010, LLN 2010/014) and 'House of Lords Reform 1997–2010: A Chronology' (28 June 2010, LLN 2010/015).

Have you at any time typed a phrase into Google and been disappointed with the final results?
This assortment of sophisticated look for operators will support you slim the final results to get closer to what you are looking for. As a lookup internet marketing practitioner, I use sophisticated research operators to understand which locations of a web page Google has indexed and how my clients’ competition are marketing and advertising their solutions. You can do the similar with your business and its solutions.
Due to the fact most of the operators can be blended in different ways to develop unique success, I’ll get started with the foundational operators before transferring on to the tremendous look for wide variety.
Be aware that spacing and capitalization are significant in some operators — fork out close consideration to the examples for formatting.
This question signals that you want either a single term or a further, but not both equally. The term “OR” need to be in all caps. Note that the AND question is obsolete, due to the fact look for engines presume the AND when you enter several terms or strings.
Use a minus indication instantly in advance of a word to exclude it from the look for success.
chain pet dog collar -choke
Utilizing “quotation marks” around a term or phrase implies that you want to see internet pages that match only that correct word or phrase (exact purchase, exact same spelling). Google utilizes synonyms and close spellings routinely in its lookup results, so this is a useful operator when you want success to match particularly what you are exploring for.
The asterisk is a “wildcard” symbol in many software program applications. In Google, the asterisk can stand in for any intervening phrase. Use it when you want to come across webpages that comprise phrase(s) merged with any other phrase.
ideal * for summer season
This identifies internet pages that contain the specified terms within (n) quantity of words of every other. It really is handy when exploring for similar principles that aren’t generally used in immediate proximity to every other. The phrase “AROUND” need to be in all caps.
birthday All-around (3) baseball
Putting the currency image in front of a amount signifies a desire for products at sure cost details.
Use two dots to point out a want for research success within a variety of numbers. This works with a long time and rates as effectively as any other numeric variety.
Hashtags are truthful game in Google lookup queries, and act as a way to navigate into Twitter’s, Instagram’s, and Pinterest’s effects. The at sign (@) is supposed to also trigger social success. But in my tests, I obtained largely irrelevant results.
This 1 will work like a dictionary, offering definitions of the phrase specified in the query.
Tremendous-look for Operators for Search engine marketing
Now for the search operators distinct to research motor optimization. These queries will enable you (a) see your pages as Google has them cached, (b) observe indexation, (c) uncover pockets of previous, crufty content material, and (d) much much more.
“Internet site:” queries return Google’s indexed pages from a single area. You can also prohibit them to a specific subdomain, protocol (such as HTTPS), subdirectory, or URL. Be aware that you are going to only get to see a thousand or so outcomes prior to Google cuts you off. So if you actually want to see targeted parts of your internet site, make absolutely sure to restrict your website query to a precise subdomain or subdirectory like the case in point demonstrated.
Google no lengthier supports the “backlink:” query. It made use of to show a sample of the sites linking to any page you entered into the question. Now this info is accessible by way of the Google Search Console.
Google will save cached variations of website web pages as it crawls and indexes them. See the last cached edition of any webpage by placing “cache:” in front of any total URL.
See the internet sites Google thinks are relevant to yours with the associated question.
This operator is handy when you are searching for distinct file types, this sort of as PDF, JPG, or ASPX. Use any file type suffix, but it have to be made use of in conjunction with a different search operator, this sort of as a “web site:” query or a research term.
Returns webpages that consist of the one adhering to phrase in just the anchor textual content (the textual content used to suggest a hyperlink to yet another site).
Returns webpages that have all of the text that observe in the anchor textual content on a webpage.
Specifies internet pages that consist of the single next phrase anywhere in text on the web site.
Specifies pages that comprise the all of the adhering to term anyplace in text on the webpage.
Lookups for a one term in the title tag of pages.
Queries for various text in the title tag of pages.
Identifies URLs that consist of a single specified phrase or string of letters and quantities.
allinurl: biscuit pet dog sku13579
Employing Various State-of-the-art Operators
You can incorporate approximately all of the sophisticated operators previously mentioned into advanced strings to slim your lookup effects to just a number of of the most applicable. Google supports above 20 distinct search operators strung into the very same query string — up to 26 of them by my very last depend.
In addition to the syntax regulations, with some superior operators the order issues as you develop query strings. For instance, the next question strings would return distinct success, even even though they all consist of the very same 4 text.
allintitle: fuzzy pink bunny slippers
All of internet pages returned in the look for outcomes would have all four terms located in the title tag of just about every web page.
All of the internet pages would be related to text “bunny” and “slipper,” and the text “fuzzy” and “pink” would be found in the title tags of every webpage.
All of the web pages would comprise the exact phrase “pink bunny” and be appropriate to “slippers,” and also have the phrase “fuzzy” found in each individual of their title tags.
All of the web pages would consist of the exact phrase “bunny slippers” but would include neither “fuzzy” nor “pink,” and none of the lookup effects would be from Amazon.
All of the internet pages would have the phrase “slippers” and both the word “fuzzy” or “pink,” but none of the pages would point out “bunny.”
Perform all over with these sophisticated operators. With practice, they will turn into second character.

Cara Ellison wrote about her discomfort with the scene and its context within the game in a preview for PC Gamer back in 2013.
