How Do You Wear Contact Lenses After Having Cataract Surgery?
Most people undergoing cataract surgery have an intraocular lens implanted into the eye at the time of the operation, which obviates the need to wear contact lenses after the procedure. However, intraocular lenses don't always correct all visual defects, so some patients need glasses or contact lenses postoperatively.
A cataract occurs when the natural lens within the eye becomes cloudy and interferes with a person's ability to see. When a doctor performs cataract surgery, he removes the natural lens and replaces it with a clear, plastic lens. These intraocular lenses come in several types, including basic lenses, which don't correct any visual defects, and monofocal lenses, which correct either near or distance vision. Doctors often insert a distance-vision lens in the dominant eye and a near-vision lens in the nondominant eye to provide the best postoperative visual acuity. However, this strategy doesn't work for everyone, and many patients still need glasses or contact lenses for performing some tasks.
Premium lenses, such as accommodating lenses and multifocal refractive lenses, correct near, intermediate and distance vision. However, these lenses often cause unwanted effects, such as decreased overall visual acuity, decreased night vision and seeing halos around lights at night.
Doctors choose the best type of intraocular lens for each patient based on a number of factors, including the person's degree of nearsightedness and whether he has an astigmatism, which many intraocular lenses don't correct. The doctor usually reassesses the patient's vision and prescribes appropriate corrective lenses after about one month. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Talk:Batuque
Untitled
Old text, that I don't think is correct (if it is, please provide a reference!):
* Batuque is an Orisha cult, an Afro-Brazilian religion of Rio Grande do Sul State, in Brazil. It is closely related, if not identical, to Candomblé.

"Players stand in a circle; one player stands in the center in a defensive position, and another moves around him, suddenly attacking. The attacking player tries to throw the defending player to the ground with blows from his legs." This sounds like 1 person stands motionless and gets kicked until he falls down.

United Kingdom defends detention of David Miranda, Glenn Greenwald's partner - The Washington Post
The United Kingdom responded to criticism today of its detention of David Miranda for nine hours at Heathrow Airport over the weekend. Miranda is the partner of Guardian reporter Glenn Greenwald, who has written about Edward Snowden and U.S. surveillance programs. Miranda has begun legal action against the government, claiming it had no authority to detain him: Police used a contentious anti-terrorism law to detain Miranda, the civil partner of Guardian newspaper journalist Glenn Greenwald, on Sunday. Greenwald has published stories about U.S. and British surveillance programs based on documents leaked by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden. Miranda was held for nearly nine hours the maximum allowed by law and had electronic equipment confiscated. Miranda, a 28-year-old university student, was traveling home to Brazil after visiting Germany, where he met with Laura Poitras, a U.S. filmmaker who has worked with Greenwald on the NSA stories. Greenwald said Miranda was carrying materials between the two, but didn't specify what they were. The government and the police have a duty to protect the public and our national security, the Home Office said in a statement. If the police believe that an individual is in possession of highly sensitive stolen information that would help terrorism, then they should act and the law provides them with a framework to do that, it said. Those who oppose this sort of action need to think about what they are condoning. . . . Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger characterized the detention of Miranda as part of a campaign of official intimidation against the newspaper since it began publishing stories based on Snowden's leaks in June. The articles revealed details of surveillance of electronic communications carried out by U.S. and British spies. Associated Press For more on what Snowden's documents reveal, watch the discussion with Washington Post contributor Barton Gellman below. The White House has claimed that U.K. agents decided to detain Miranda on their own initiative: White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters that U.S. officials had received a heads-up that London police would detain David Miranda on Sunday, but he said the U.S. government did not request Miranda's detention, calling it a law enforcement action taken by the British government. This was a decision that was made by the British government without the involvement and not at the request of the United States government. It's as simple as that, Earnest said. Billy Kenber and Karla Adam In a column, Rusbridger claimed that what he called a campaign of intimidation also involved British intelligence officials destroying some of the Guardian's hard drives: He said the hard drives were torn apart in the basement of the Guardian's north London office with two GCHQ security experts overseeing the destruction ... just to make sure there was nothing in the mangled bits of metal which could possibly be of any interest to passing Chinese agents. It was not clear exactly when the incident occurred. Rusbridger gave a vague timeline, suggesting that it happened within the past month or so. Guardian spokesman Gennady Kolker declined to comment further, and messages left with GCHQ after working hours were not immediately returned. An operator at the intelligence agency's switchboard said no one was available until Tuesday. Rusbridger said the destruction was the culmination of weeks of pressure on the Guardian by British officials. Shortly after his paper began publishing reports based on Snowden's leaks, he said he was contacted by a very senior government official claiming to represent the views of the prime minister who demanded the return or destruction of Snowden's material. There followed a series of increasingly tough meetings in which officials demanded the Guardian comply. Eventually, he said, officials threatened legal action, and that's when the editor allowed British agents into his basement. A spokesman for British Prime Minister David Cameron declined comment. Associated Press The Switch's Andrea Peterson warns against interpreting the story as a conflict between Greenwald and the United Kingdom, citing media reports that implied that Greenwald would be publishing more documents in response to the government's decision to detain his partner. Peterson writes: Greenwald's point seems to have been that he was determined not to be scared off by intimidation. Greenwald and the Guardian have already been publishing documents outlining surveillance programs in Britain, and Greenwald has long declared his intention to continue publishing documents. By doing so, Greenwald isn't taking vengeance. He's just doing his job. Andrea Peterson For more on the National Security Agency and U.S. surveillance, continue reading here. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Willoughby's Magic Hat
Willoughby's Magic Hat is a Phantasies animated short subject directed by Bob Wickersham, produced by Screen Gems, and released to theatres by Columbia Pictures on April 20, 1943.
The short features the character of a diminutive, weak man named Willoughby Wren, who finds he is granted super-strength by wearing a cap woven from the hair of Samson. He then uses his newfound powers to save a young woman from the clutches of an evil Frankenstein's monster-like robot, but finds that his powers vanish when the hat falls off or is removed from his head, which seems to happen often. At these times, the announcer would call to Willoughby, "Willoughby! Willoughby! The hat, Willoughby! The hat!"
The film is notable for its use of stylistic design and unusual camera angles, the influence of Screen Gem employees who had defected from Walt Disney Productions following the 1941 Disney animator's strike. The designer for Willoughby's Magic Hat, Zack Schwartz, later became one of the co-founders of United Productions of America (UPA), a company that specialized in experimental and avant-garde animated shorts.
Several later Screen Gems shorts featured the Willoughby character, something of an unusual superhero. | WIKI |

Hey everyone, we are happy to announce the release of Hosted Worlds. Starting today, you will be able to host a survival Minecraft world on Lunar Client and invite your friends, completely free of charge. This blog will detail everything you need to know about Hosted Worlds including how to host a world, invite friends, and how to join friend's worlds. If you have any feature suggestions or run into any issues when enjoying Hosted Worlds, please contact us!
What is Hosted Worlds?
Hosted Worlds is a brand new feature in Lunar Client that allows you and your friends to play on the same Minecraft single player world together. If you have ever wanted to play with your friends on a Minecraft server but have had troubles setting up a server or finding a host, this feature is exactly for you. With this feature, you can check out new Minecraft: Java Edition updates or play an SMP with your friends anytime and anywhere. Hosting a world for your friends is almost as simple as creating one. Let's dive into how to host a world and everything else you need to know with Hosted Worlds below!
How to Host A World
Hosting a world is as simple as creating a Minecraft single player world, joining, and selecting the Host World button in the Escape Menu.
Once selected, you will be prompted with a menu to adjust any settings you'd like before opening your world to your friends.
Hint: If you are just looking to open a LAN world, adjust the World Privacy option
When you are done adjusting your world settings, simply press the Host World button in the bottom right of the menu to open your world to your friends.
How to Invite Friends
If your world privacy is set to Invite Only when opening your world, your friends will need an invite to join. There are currently two places where you can invite your friends to your world.
You can invite your friends using the Lunar Client Friend Menu or the player's chat box, both can be accessed using Shift + Tab.
After inviting a friend, they will receive a notification letting them know they were invited to your single player world and will receive a message in their chat box.
How to Join Worlds
There are a few different places where you can join worlds. You can join directly through the Friend Menu or through the player's chat box.
Alternatively, you can join your friend's hosted worlds through the Minecraft Multiplayer server list. These servers will appear at the bottom of your server list in their own section.
How to Adjust World Options
If you are the host of the world, you have the ability to adjust the options for your world. These world options can be accessed from a few places.
One of these places is through the Escape Menu after hosting your world. Simply press Escape and select the World Options button.
You can also access world options from the World Info Menu after hosting your world. This menu will appear in the Friend Menu after hosting and will also give you access to kick, promote, and demote players in your world.
Once selecting one of these buttons, you will be prompted with a similar menu to the one you saw when initially hosting the world. This menu will give you the ability to adjust the difficulty, game mode, world privacy, and slots at anytime. It will also give you the option to close the world, kicking everyone connected to it.
Tip: The Lunar+ subscription allows you to have more than 8 slots
How to Manage Members
As the host of the world you have the ability to promote and demote people in your world. Promoting a guest of your world allows them to access your world when the privacy is set to Invite Only. To promote friends in your world, simply open the Friends Menu and navigate to the World Info Menu.
You also have the ability to remove friends from your world in this menu. You can either revoke their membership, not allowing them to access your world the next time it is put up as Invite Only or you can kick them from your world.
How to Close Your World
As the host of the world, you have the power to close the world off completely from your friends at any time. You can close your world by accessing the World Options or simply saving and quitting in the Escape Menu.
When closing the world, you will be prompted with a confirmation if there are friends in your world. This will ensure you aren't accidently closing your world when your friends are enjoying themselves. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

19:26:05, 7 August 2018 review of submission by GeorgeGE
Hello, I'm Margret George Maliks nephew. We been working with the White House and the Kurdish government on my aunt's legacy. Her grave was renovated recently, her statue is up in the Heroes square, and now we are working on a book and film deal called Blood In Eden, all have her name as Margret George. On this September 11th, the anniversary of the First Iraqi-Kurdish War my aunt Margret will be honored in Erbil, capital of Kurdistan for her fight and spirit. Her name everywhere is and will be Margret George Malik like her family always called her. The other variations are wrong someone foreign one time wrote an article about her with her wrong name assuming it was the English way but she is not Margaret it Margret. Also not Shello, it's Jilu from her father's tribe Jilu, check the Wikipedia for Jilu you will see Margret there. Please move this page to Margret George, or Margret George Malik or Margret George Jilu. Either way. Just NOT Shello or Margaret. Thank you.

Page:Margaret Fuller Ossoli (Higginson).djvu/266
By a happy fatality, the only Italian papers of Margaret Ossoli’s that are preserved are the letters that passed between her and her husband, during their various separations, before and after the birth of their child. The originals are now, partially at least, in the possession of Miss Edith Fuller, in Cambridge; and a translation of the whole, made by Miss Elizabeth Hoar, is in my possession. I wish that they could all be published, for more loving and devoted letters never passed between husband and wife. Fragments of them appeared in the “Memoirs;” but I have avoided making use of any which are there printed, except in one or two cases where scattered portions alone have appeared. The preference has been given to those written about the time of her child’s birth, because there is no period which tests more deeply the depth and the heroism of conjugal affection than those anxious weeks. At the birth of a first child, every mother knows, and her husband knows, that she is to meet much the same sort of peril with any soldier who marches up to a battery; except that this danger is to be met alone, | WIKI |

Introduction
Tim Spector is Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King’s College London and Director of the TwinsUK Registry one of the world’s richest data collections on 11,000 twins. He is Head of the Department of Twin Research & Genetic Epidemiology at King’s College London with 60 members of staff. He is also a Physician and Honorary Consultant Rheumatologist at Guy’s Hospital, part of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. Professor Spector is best known for his twin research into the genetics of ageing diseases and most lately his work in the field of Epigenetics.
Education and Awards
Professor Spector completed his medical training MBBS at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in 1982, an MSc at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in Epidemiology (1986), and an MD doctorate of Medicine at the University of London (1989). He was awarded a Fellowship(FRCP) at the Royal College of Physicians (UK) in 1997. He is a National Institute for Health Research Senior Investigator and was awarded an European Research Council Senior Researcher award in 2010.
Research work
Professor Spector has a long career in research having published over 650 papers. Initially his research focused on common musculoskeletal diseases - where as well as performing many novel pharmaceutical trials in osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, was often the first to show the genetic basis of a wide range of common diseases and traits, previously thought to be mainly due to Ageing and environment such as arthritis, cataract and body shape. Professor Spector and his group have found over 400 novel genes in over 30 diseases, such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, melanoma, obesity, diabetes, [Bbaldness|baldness]], and longevity among many others as part of large international collaborations. Professor Spector is Principal Investigator of the MuTHER study – currently the largest study of multiple tissue gene expression as well as three large European Union projects. He is currently conducting the EpiTwin study, in collaboration with the Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI). This project is one of the most ambitious large-scale methylation sequencing projects in Human Genetics using twins to look at the role of epigenetic factors in the aetiology of common complex diseases such as obesity, diabetes, allergies, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, telomeres and longevity.
Media and books
Professor Spector’s research has been widely and regularly disseminated in the media with many newspaper and magasine articles as well as many radio and television appearances in the UK, such as recently the BBC Radio Today programme and television programmes such as the BBC One Show, BBC Horizon and abroad France 2, the American Broadcasting Company (ABC)| and Cable News Network (CNN). In 2009 Professor Tim Spector advised and featured in a two part BBC documentary on twins and science “The Secret Life of Twins” in which 500 United_Kingdom twins were the centre-piece. The documentary was first broadcasted in October 2009 and has been aired in over 26 countries. Professor Spector is the author of several scientific books of which two are aimed to bringing science and epigenetics to the lay reader: Your Genes Unzipped (2004) and Identically Different: Why You Can change Your Genes (June 2012), Wiedenfeld & Nicolson.

Bendahara Sri Nara Diraja Tun Ali was a Tamil Muslim and the fourth bendahara of the Malacca Sultanate. He was the penghulu bendahari of Malacca before becoming bendahara. He allegedly conspired to assassinate the sultan of Malacca, Raja Sri Parameswara Dewa Shah. According to other sources, Tun Ali and his nephew, Raja Kassim was conspiring to murder Raja Rokan who was disliked by palace officials. It was said that during the attack, Raja Rokan who was with Sri Parameswara stabbed the king in retaliation to an attacker stabbing Raja Rokan. Tun Ali and Raja Kassim was unable to save the king. Tun Ali then installed Raja Kassim as the monarch of Malacca who took the title Sultan Muzaffar Shah. Tun Ali stepped down in 1446 upon the advice of Sultan Muzaffar in favour of Bendahara Paduka Raja Tun Perak.
Grandson
Tun Ali's grandson by Tun Tahir (who shared the same name with him) married Tun Fatimah, the daughter of his second son Bendahara Seri Maharaja Tun Mutahir. Tun Ali was then executed on the order of Sultan Mahmud Shah along with Tun Mutahir after Tun Mutahir was accused of treason by Raja Mudaliar. Sultan Mahmud then married Tun Fatimah. | WIKI |
User:MrsHayward/Barking up the Wrong Tree
Barking up the wrong tree is an American idiomatic expression which is used to suggest a mistaken emphasis in a specific context. The phrase is a allusion to the mistake made by dogs when they believe that have chased a prey up a tree, but the game may have escaped by leaping from one tree to another. The phrase means to mistake one's object, or to pursue the wrong course to obtain it.
Meaning
Making a mistake or a false assumption in something you are trying to achieve.
In other words, "if you are barking up the wrong tree, it means that you have completely misunderstood something or are totally wrong."
Origin
James Kirke Paulding wrote the earliest printed citation in his book "Westard Ho!" in 1832: "Here he made a note in his book, and I begun to smoke him for one of those fellows that drive a sort of a trade of making books about old Kentuck and the western country: so I thought I'd set him barking up the wrong tree a little, and I told him some stories that were enough to set the Mississippi a-fire; but he put them all down in his book."
In 1832 James Hall wrote the following in his "Legends of the West": "It doesn't take a Philadelphia lawyer to tell that the man who serves the master one day, and the enemy six, has just six chances out of seven to go to the devil. You are barking up the wrong tree, Johnson."
In "Sketches and eccentricities of Col. David Crockett, of West Tennessee". New York: J. & J. Harper, 1833 it is stated of Davy Crockett "I told him...that he reminded me of the meanest thing on God's earth, an old coon dog, barking up the wrong tree." ascribed to J.S. French by E.A. Poe. cf. Southern literary messenger, v. 2, 1835-36, p. 589. A "Narrative of the Life of David Crockett" by David Crockett, Philadelphia, E. L. Carey and A. Hart; Baltimore, Carey, Hart & co., 1834, contains the sentence, "I began to think I was barking up the wrong tree again."
Col. Crockett's Exploits and Adventures in Texas (1836)A pseudo-autobiography, generally ascribed to Richard Penn Smith. (cf. Sabin. Amer. bibl., v. 20, p. 471; Burton's Gentleman's magazine, Philadelphia, 1839, v. 5, p. 119-121; Dict. Amer. biog., includes the remark, "Job, little dreaming that he was barking up the wrong tree, shoved along another bottle."
The phrase appears to have become popular in the USA when it appeared in several USA newspapers throughout the 1830s. The Gettysburg newspaper The Adams Sentinel, March 1834 printed the followin: "Gineral you are barkin' up the wrong tree this time, for I jest see that rackoon jump to the next tree, and afore this he is a mile off in the woods.

I would have told you that evil-speaking is an assemblage of iniquity; a secret pride, which discovers to us the mote in our brother's eye, but hides the beam which is in our own; a mean envy, which, hurt at the talents of prosperity of others, makes them the subject of its censures, and studies to dim the splendor of whatever outshines itself; a disguised hatred, which sheds, in its speeches, the hidden venom of the heart; an unworthy duplicity, which praises to the face and tears to pieces behind the back; a shameful levity, which has no command over itself or its words, and often sacrifices both fortune and comfort to the imprudence of an amusing conversation; a deliberate barbarity, which goes to pierce your absent brother; a scandal, where you become a subject of shame and sin to those who listen to you; an injustice, where you ravish from your brother what is dearest to him. I should have said that slander is a restless evil, which disturbs society, spreads dissension through cities and countries, disunites the strictest friendships; is the source of hatred and revenge; fills, wherever it enters, with disturbances and confusion; and everywhere is an enemy to peace, comfort, and Christian good-breeding.

Flower in the Crannied Wall
"Flower in the Crannied Wall" is a poem composed by Alfred Tennyson in 1863 beside the wishing well at Waggoners Wells. The poem uses the image of a flowering plant - specifically that of a chasmophyte rooted in the wall of the wishing well - as a source of inspiration for mystical/metaphysical speculation and is one of multiple poems where Tennyson touches upon the topic of the relationships between God, nature, and human life.
The Tennyson memorial statue was completed in 1903 by George Frederic Watts and unveiled in 1905 at Lincoln Cathedral, shows Tennyson holding a flower in his hand standing alongside a dog. Underneath, on the pedestal of the statue, lies a plaque of the poem. Since the statue was unveiled in 1905, there has been concerns over discoloration and disintegration. A commissioned firm specializing in bronze restoration then expressed its view that the statue appears similar to when it was first unveiled.
Text
Flower in the crannied wall, I pluck you out of the crannies, I hold you here, root and all, in my hand, Little flower—but if I could understand What you are, root and all, and all in all, I should know what God and man is.
Structure
In terms of stresses, the poem follows an accentual meter where the organization of the poem relied on the "count of stresses, not by count of syllables". The pattern for the number of stresses in this poem is 3-3-4-4-4-3. Flow-er in the cran-nied wall,
I pluck you out of the cran-nies,
I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,
Little flow-er—but if I could un-der-stand
What you are, root and all, and all in all,
I should know what God and man is. The poem also follows an ABCCAB rhyme scheme. There are also 2 instances of a feminine ending found in the second and last line.
Parallel in an earlier work by William Blake
A previous exploration of the theme of a mystical epiphany of the divine macrocosm apprehended through the microcosm may be found in the oft-quoted first four lines of the poem "Auguries of Innocence", composed by William Blake (1757 –1827) in the year 1803, but remaining unpublished until 1863 - the very year of Tennyson’s composition of "Flower in the Crannied Wall". To see the world in a grain of sand And heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour.
In literature
The phrase flower in the crannied wall is sometimes used in a metaphorical sense for the idea of seeking holistic and grander principles from constituent parts and their connections. The poem can be interpreted as Tennyson’s perspective on the connection between God and Nature. English critic Theodore Watts characterized Tennyson as a "nature poet." Fredric Myers described Tennyson as incorporating the “interpenetration of the spiritual and material worlds" into his literary works.
In science
Scientists have also mentioned and drawn their own interpretations of the poem. In his book Through Nature to God, evolutionist John Fiske describes the flower as an “elementary principle” that is both “simple and broad.” According to Fiske, all living things "represents the continuous adjustment of inner to outer relations". The flower mentioned by Tennyson is a plant consisting of complex systems that regulates its "relations within" itself and its "relations existing outside" itself. Further understanding these complex systems scientifically can reveal the "mysteries of Nature." Others including Theodore Soares, the then department head from the University of Chicago, also viewed Tennyson as "one of the earliest of the spiritual interpreters of life" who saw the impacts of science with macroscopic lenses.
Amos Avery, Sophia Satina and Jacob Rietsema use the poem as the epigraph of Blakeslee: the genus Datura, their work of botany and plant genetics devoted to the poisonous and entheogenic jimsonweed genus of the plant family Solanaceae, so named in honour of pioneering plant geneticist Albert Francis Blakeslee. | WIKI |

But it painted a gloomy picture that included weak growth in consumer spending, a decline in demand for machinery and equipment, weak growth in exports and a continued recession in the construction industry.

* SUFIISM. 668 STJFIISM. V.ie origin to Rabia al Adawiyya (752), a pious voman much spoken of in Sufiism. There seems to be listovic evidence to prove that, in spite of Moliammeirs precautions against mysti- cism, it originated with his favorite Ali. Those who maintain that Sufiism lias its origin in the Vedanta (q.v.) place it, of course, much further back in time. Despite certain analogues, as the Persian pir, or sage, who corresponds to the fpini. or teaclier, of India, who initiates the iieopliyte into the esoteric mysteries, there are many fundamental ditt'erences between the two systcins. Jlax Miiller (Gifi'ord Lectures of 18!)2), who only knew- Sufiism second hand, derives it from the Vedanta and quotes Sir William Jones, who knew less than himself, on its principal doctrines. Both overlook the fun- damental difi'erencp between the two. Sufiism is radically theistic and seldom swerves far from the Koran's intense belief in the One. The Vedanta is pantheistic with occasional theistic phraseol- ogy. The Sufiis are so strongly devoted to the Beloved (viz. God) that they look for Divinity everywhere and see Divinity any^vhere; the su- perficial observer therefore easily comes to regard the Sufis' love pantheistically, and coin- pares it with the Vedantic doctrine of absolute pantheism, svimmed up in the phrase tat tram asi, 'That (the Universal Spirit) thou art.' It may, however, be admitted that later Sufiism shows forms of expression very similar to Ve- danta. but also that no historic connection has been proved. It cannot be denied that the intel- lectual forms given to most of the Sufi doctrines in Persia are from foreign sources. Among his- toric forces which thus have molded Sufiism must be mentioned especially the Peripatetic philosophy. Neo-Platonism, and Zoroastrianism. The latter's formalism lent itself admirably to the Arabic intellect, and its doctrines of Light harmonized well with Sufiistic ascetic notions of the One. From Greek sources came dialectics and cosmological notions. The latter, though com- mon in Sufiism. are alien to its primitive nature. The Greek influence is traceable to the philoso- phers, Diogenes, Hermias, Eulalias, Priscian, Damascius. Isidore, and Simplicius, whom Jus- tinian's intolerance drove into exile and who came to Nushirwan's court. The rich symbolism of Sufiism is either of Zoroastrian origin or indigenous, except its Alexander legends. A few reall.v great Sufis lived before the close of the second century of the Hejira (815). Among them and those immediately after are to be mentioned the Eg-ptian Dhun-Xun (859), who introduced the doctrine of ecstasy and mystical stages; Sirri Sag"ati (8G7), who introduced unification; Junaid (010), who reduced Sufiism to writing; and Al-Nallaj, who became famous because he went about crying "I am the true One," for which he was put to death by torture (921). The Fihrist (987) represents him as a 'wily conjurer,' but Sufis consider his death the result of the workings of the occult law which brings death upon him who divulges divine secrets. Ghazali (q.v.) (d. 1111) and Jalal-ud-Din Rumi (q.v.) (d. 1273) were the two most famous Doctors in Sufiism. Omar Khavwam (d. 1123), reckoned by some as a Sufi, became known to the West through Fitz- GeraUl's brilliant quatrains. Nizami (q.v.), Farid-ud-Din Attar (q.v.), Sadi (q.v.), Shamsi, ILifiz (q.v.), Anvari, Jami (q.v.), and Hatifi (ij.v.) are subpoets of renown. Jami (d. 1492) has been called the last Sufi, and with some justice. After him Sufiism slowly declined, but the nineteenth century saw its powerful revival in Turkey, though its Turkish representative names are almost unknown out- side of Turkey. From Turkey and Egypt comes what may be called a Neo-Sufiism. Primitive Sufiism is not doctrinal; it is an 'experience,' a 'feeling of God,' a 'mystery of godliness,' and does not primarily have anything to do with the notions of the intellect. Within two hundred years from its origin, however, it assumed doctrinal forms and it remained set- tled in them, though it never gave up the main characteristics of its beginning. The two chief doctrines of Sufiism are that of the One (Ahad) and that of 'the Way to the One' itarJqat). A Sufi first of all endea'ors to realize that 'the One' is the only existence, that there is not only 'no god but God,' but that there is nothing but God. Next, he enters upon 'the journey to the rose-garden of Union.' The Sufi's belief is not pantheism in the Greek sense; he does not 'make everything God except God him- self;' on the contrary, everv'thing is naught ex- cept Divinity and it is Divinity that gives life to the dead Xon-Being. The world is a phantas- magory, and the time will come when it shall pass away. God's reason for creating the world is found in this saying: "I was a Hidden Treas- tire and I wished to be known, so I created Crea- tion that I might be loiouni." The form of crea- tion is not only truth and goodness, but also and essentially beauty. Sufis lay more stress upon the conception of Divinity as beauty than other mystics or religions. The Sufi 'way (o God' is similar to the well- known ideas on that subject among Western mystics. With the help of a guide, 'the traveler' ascends step by step to union with God or through awakening to regeneration and sanctifi- cation to union. The 'Way' is ascetic and full of occult practices, such as dances, silences, etc. All men may reach union. Every man is essentially both a niicrothcos and a iiticrocosmos, or, as Shamsi of Tabriz sings in echo of numerous other Sufis : "My place is in the Placeless ; my trace is in the Traceless." "I gazed into m.v own heart ; there I saw One." Sufi symbolism is a mystery and permeates the entire system of Sufiism. A symbol to a Sufi is not merely an object which stands for some other object or idea. For him every object has besides its owTi immediate signification also an ideal content, and it is this latter which is the real object of the Sufi's search. He finds it by means of Love {is(j). The object is to the ecstatic a vivid, instantaneous revelation of the inscrutable. Objects are therefore 'veils.' not veils that hide, but 'veils' that reveal the One. All Sufi poetry is written with a double sense and the initiates can read five others besides. The now comparatively well-known ghazels of Hafiz, Sadi, Jami. and others abound in 'veils.' which the Occidental calls voluptuous and bac- chanalian, but to the Sufi. Oriental as he is. they are not low or degraded, but simply descriptive of emotions or soul-life. As such they suggest to him deeper and more imiversal states of life. The embrace means discovery of the mysteries of Godhead; icine divine love and wisdom; a tavern | WIKI |

I'm building a menu with hook_menu().
When you're building the array for this you specify a title, which is then passed to the page you call and becomes the page title. It's also the menu item's displayed name.
$items['somewhere/something'] = array(
'title' => 'Something',
'description' => 'something else',
);
This would generate a menu link called "Something", and the page title would be the same. Is there a way to make the menu item's name one thing, but pass along a different title for the page?
I know I can use drupal_set_title() in the actual hook_page() function, but I'd have to perform an additional database pull to make that happen in this case, and I'd rather not do that.

• What a simple yet interesting question. A quick look into this shows that there may not be an easy (from the hook_menu) way to do this! see this issue (thats currently for Drupal 8!) drupal.org/node/465958

• How would using drupal_set_title() cause an extra database query? Apr 6, 2011 at 20:02

Also you can use phptemplate_preprocess_page(&$vars) function to redeclare page title
– dobeerman
Apr 6, 2011 at 20:23
• @tim.plunkett in the module I'm writing I'm generating the menu from a database (outside of drupal). During this query I have the title I wish to pass, but I don't want that to be the title of the menu item as well. I want the menu item to be one word of this title. In order to change the title using drupal_set_title() in the hook_page() function, I have to query the database again unless I want to pass it through as a url argument, which I don't wish to do.

No there's no way to do it with hook_menu().
The simplest way is what you suggested, using drupal_set_title() and the most efficient is what dobeerman suggested above: use phptemplate_preprocess_page() and alter $vars accordingly.
Honestly though, I would just use drupal_set_title() even if there is that extra db call you mentioned (unconfirmed). This is a tiny optimization and if performance is important to you, you should have some caching mechanism in place (Varnish, Boost, etc) and this extra call won't make a difference!

• The description for drupal_set_title() is the following: "Set the title of the current page, for display on the page and in the title bar."

First, let's drop the phptemplate_ prefix as in drupal.org/node/422116. I'd go for themename_preprocess_page since it caches and doesn't query the database. Apr 7, 2011 at 18:39

To set a different title for the page (the one used in the <title> tag), you have two possibilities:
• In your module, implement MODULE_preprocess_page()and use it to alter the value of $variables['head_title']. The documentation page for template_preprocess_page() reports which values are available in the $variables array.
• Install the Page Title module, which allows you change the title set for a page. It allows you to execute a PHP snippet to set the page title, and it also uses tokens.
Using drupal_set_title(), you don't set just the page title or the title visible in the title bar; you set both, as reported in the documentation.
Set the title of the current page, for display on the page and in the title bar.
Parameters
$title
Optional string value to assign to the page title; or if set to NULL (default), leaves the current title unchanged.
Return value
The updated title of the current page.

• Despite being correct in everything you said, you didn't answer the question directly! The OP wants to know about having one text as the title in a hook_menu() and another text displayed in the <title> tag on the page, for the same address!
– Alex Weber
Apr 7, 2011 at 1:45
• @Alex To say it more directly, I should do it in the website he has. Why do you think that saying which hook to implement and which variable needs to be altered, or saying which module needs to be installed is not direct?
– apaderno
Apr 7, 2011 at 10:03
• @kiamluno fair enough, good point! :)
– Alex Weber
Apr 7, 2011 at 12:29
• In this use case, the menu was already being generated in a custom module, so writing another one and using MODULE_preprocess_page is silly. Installing the Page Title module in this case would not have worked because I need the page title to be based on the query from an outside data source which is used to create the menu - tokens wouldn't work for that (and the pages are constantly changed and updated - added and removed based on that outside data source). It was a complex problem to be sure!

This testimonial I accordingly received in about a week; forwarded a copy of it to Mrs. Fairfax, and got that lady's reply, stating that she was satisfied, and fixing that day fortnight as the period for my assuming the post of governess in her house.
I now busied myself in preparations: the fortnight passed rapidly. I had not a very large wardrobe, though it was adequate to my wants; and the last day sufficed to pack my trunk,—the same I had brought with me eight years ago from Gateshead.

Reese Wynans
Reese Wynans (born November 28, 1947) is an American keyboard player, who has done session work and has been a member of Double Trouble and progressive rock band Captain Beyond. In 2015, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Double Trouble.
Personal life
Wynans grew up in Sarasota, Florida, United States, during the 1950s. Wynans and his six siblings began taking piano lessons at early ages, but he was the only one who "really loved playing." .
Musical career
Wynans was a member of the Second Coming, which from November, 1968 to March, 1969 included two future and founding members of The Allman Brothers Band: guitarist Dickey Betts and bassist Berry Oakley. Other band members were Dale Betts, Larry Reinhardt, and John Meeks. Wynans was involved in the initial jam session with Duane Allman, Betts, Oakley, Butch Trucks, and Jaimoe that led to the formation of the Allman Brothers Band, but was eased aside in favor of vocalist Gregg Allman, as founder Duane Allman did not want two keyboardists, two guitarists, and two drummers all in the same band.
In 1973 he played with Captain Beyond and was on the album Sufficiently Breathless. He quit after just one show with the band, later explaining, "Captain Beyond was a great band to play with, but from the management side it was terribly organized... I was very poor at that time, living in somebody´s else garage, so I needed to work and had to quit." In 1975 he relocated to Austin, TX to join the Jerry Jeff Walker band. They recorded several albums and toured the US extensively. other band members were Dave Perkins, Bobby Rambo, Leo Lablanc, Tomas Ramirez, Ron Cobb, and Fred Krc. Wynans also played with The Explosives along with Fred Krc, Waller Collie, and Cam King. In 1980 he joined the Delbert McClinton band. Other band members were Billy Sanders, James Pennebaker, Larry Lange, Robert Harwell, Ernie Durawa, Roddy Colona and others. He also played piano on many of the tracks on Carole King's albums Touch the Sky and One to One and appears on her VHS recording of the same name.
1985–1990: Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
Wynans joined Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble in 1985, playing keyboards on Soul to Soul and In Step. Wynans performed with the group until Vaughan's death in 1990.
After Vaughan's death, Wynans joined the touring bands of Joe Ely and Lee Roy Parnell.
1992–present
Since moving to Nashville, Tennessee, in 1992, Wynans has played keyboards for a number of country artists including Brooks & Dunn, Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride, and Hank Williams Jr. Wynans has also played for blues artists Buddy Guy, John Mayall, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Colin James, Ana Popović, Dudley Taft, Eli Cook, and Los Lonely Boys.
Wynans performed on six of the 13 songs on The Nashville Sessions, a 1999 album released by Colorado jamband Leftover Salmon. The album featured many musical collaborations, with Wynans contributions coming on songs featuring musicians such as Béla Fleck, Jerry Douglas, and Randy Scruggs.
In 2006, Wynans contributed B3 organ to two songs on the self-titled album from Black Stone Cherry.
Wynans frequently performs live at 3rd & Lindsley Bar and Grill in Nashville, with a number of established local bands, usually consisting of Nashville session musicians.
In late 2014 and early 2015, Wynans was inducted into the Musician's Hall of Fame, Austin City Limits, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame all as a part of Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble.
In 2015, he became the touring keyboard player for blues rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa. Wynans had previously played keyboards on Bonamassa's 2014 album Different Shades of Blue and his "Muddy Wolf" tour, where Bonamassa played songs originally recorded by Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. Wynans appeared with Bonamassa on his winter 2016 tour and featured on his album. And is still playing with Bonamassa Blues of Desperation.
In March 2019, his album, Reese Wynans And Friends: Sweet Release, spent two weeks at number 2 in the US Billboard Blues Albums Chart.
In March 2020 Wynans came full circle, replacing the late Gregg Allman on organ for the special The Brothers 50 celebratory concert, that marked 50 years since the formation of the Allman Brothers Band, at Madison Square Garden.

The GenFly Generic Flying Controls Trainer is an aircraft maintenance training rig developed in the late twentieth century for the Royal Air Force, for use in training airframe mechanics and technicians, particularly in maintenance activities involving flying controls and aircraft hydraulics.
Service
The RAF took delivery of four GenFly units to RAF Cosford, UK. The training manuals were written to RAF aircraft maintenance documentation standards, in order to familiarise students with the format. All four rigs were assigned tail numbers from the RAF military aircraft register, to allow even greater realism in simulating aircraft documentation, while avoiding the possibility of confusion from fabricated tail numbers coinciding with those of real airframes. The tail numbers are: ZJ695, ZJ696, ZJ697 and ZJ698. The device entered service in 2001. | WIKI |

Kukrail River
Kukrail is a left-bank small tributary of the Gomti River which merges with it in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
Course
The river originates from a well near Dasaur Baba Pond in Asti village in Bakshi Ka Talab of Lucknow. It then travels around 6km through the Kukrail Reserve Forest. It flows around 28km-long course before it joins the Gomti river.
History
According to local folklore, the river was originated about 200 years ago. It was first documented in a 1904 gazetteer. In 1960, it's water level reached 113.2 metres, which lead to the construction of embankments along the river in 1962. In 1980, the land between the Kukrail and other tributaries of Gomti, called the Municipal Sled Farm, was given to the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) for development.
Protection
In 2024, 50 metres area along Kukrail river was declared flood plain. The Lucknow Development Authority conducted a massive demolition drive in Akbarnagar area as apart of it, where over 1,800 illegal structures were removed. | WIKI |

Although the contribution of hatchlings from ephippia to a population in the water column is probably of minor importance in permanent water bodies with a year-round Daphnia persistence, this may differ after major disturbances. In 2006, two 500-year floods hit the long and narrow Vranov Reservoir (Czech Republic), in which we had investigated zooplankton densities and ephippia distribution in the sediment in preceding years. In this study, we evaluated the impact of those extraordinary floods on the population of the Daphnia longispina complex, and particularly on the local dormant egg bank. We considered two alternative hypotheses related to the egg bank: that either the substantial input of new material with the flood completely buried and therefore reset the existing egg bank, or that the sediment including ephippia was redistributed in the reservoir after the flood and dormant eggs could be exposed to hatching stimuli. A year after the floods, we did not observe any sediment layer that would be devoid of ephippia. However, we observed a significant increase in the proportion of empty ephippia and a decrease in the proportion of those containing eggs. We attribute these changes to disturbance of the sediment due to the floods, which caused redistribution of ephippia stored in the sediment and those detached from the reservoir shoreline. Dormant eggs inside ephippia deposited to shallow parts of reservoir after the floods could therefore receive and respond to hatching stimuli. Hatching from ephippia may have contributed to Daphnia recovery after the spring flood; however, a significant proportion of the Daphnia population probably survived the summer flood protected in the epilimnetic refuge of the thermally stratified environment.

Why everything you know about breathing could be wrong
By Mary Birch 3 min read
The claim that deep breathing is good for us is one of the greatest myths perpetrated throughout most of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century.
Most of us assume that deep breathing is good for us—it’s what we were all brought up to believe. From kindergarten to senior citizens’ groups, at school or at a conference, we are all familiar with the standard advice: "Stand up and take nice big breaths!" Or: "Take a deep breath in and blow it all off . . . see how good that feels?" This belief in the power of deep breathing has been the prevailing—and mainly unchallenged—conventional wisdom for most of our lives.
Yet the truth is very different. There is absolutely no evidence to support the contention that deep breathing is good for us; in fact, for some people who are already over-breathing, it can be very bad indeed, and may exacerbate symptoms such as stress, anxiety and panic. The claim that deep breathing is good for us is one of the greatest myths perpetrated throughout most of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century.
If you are like the majority of people and have always believed that deep breathing is good for you, prepare to have this belief seriously challenged.
Claims that deep breathing is good for us and that we need to breathe deeply in order to get more oxygen in are two of the greatest myths perpetrated throughout most of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century. In fact, the reverse is true—the deeper we breathe, the less oxygen reaches the cells and tissues. This belief in the benefits of deep breathing is possibly due to a westernised version of eastern practices such as yoga and meditation, which were popularised in the latter half of the twentieth century and whose traditions then made their way into conventional wisdom, largely accepted unquestioned by the general population, and even by healthcare professionals such as myself.
This belief in the merits of deep breathing is something that I, as a registered nurse, accepted and adopted as a principle of professional practice. It was not until I read an article in The Medical Journal of Australia (MJA) in 1998 about the first trial of breathing retraining for asthma in the western world using the Buteyko method (developed by a Russian doctor, Konstantin Buteyko, in the 1950s) that I started to research and question the potential benefits or harms of deep breathing.
My research found absolutely nothing to support the idea that deep breathing is good for the average person, and to my consternation I found that deep breathing is not only not good for us, it may in fact may be bad for some people, particularly for those with conditions such as asthma, angina, anxiety and panic disorder. (I am not speaking here about patients in hospital or even at home who are on some medications such as strong pain relief that may reduce breathing, or who have recently had surgery or anaesthetics and whose breathing may be shallow, in which case the emphasis on breathing more deeply is, of course, appropriate and correct. I am referring instead to the average person in the community who may have had symptoms of stress, anxiety and panic for months or even decades.)
In a world where we are constantly taught that deep breathing is good for us, it is interesting to look more closely at anxiety and panic symptoms. Both may include shortness of breath, but does this mean that people with these conditions are not breathing deeply enough? On the contrary, the scientific evidence overwhelmingly shows that they are over-breathing, despite the fact that they may feel short of breath.
My client Fay was breathing rapidly and constantly trying to inhale more air, without success. She was also breathing through her mouth, which is generally not considered unusual in our society. But mouth-breathing is not a healthy way to breathe—the volume of air is increased when we mouth-breathe, and this increase in air volume leads to a disturbance in the balance of gases in the body and to adverse symptoms. Like many people, Fay did not relate her symptoms directly to her breathing pattern but attributed everything to stress. What she did not realise was that she was over-breathing considerably and this was causing symptoms and adding to her stress levels. When Fay normalised her breathing pattern through breathing retraining, the symptoms disappeared, as did the high stress levels.

Host Hotels Hikes Dividend - Analyst Blog
In tune with its efforts to boost stockholders' return, real estate investment trust (REIT) Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. ( HST ) hiked its quarterly cash dividend by 8.3% sequentially to 13 cents per share. With this, the company's total dividend for 2013 comes in at 46 cents, up 53% year over year.
The dividend will be paid on Jan 15, 2014 to shareholders of record as of Dec 31, 2013. Host Hotels' current payout marks its 12th consecutive quarterly dividend increase.
Host Hotels' history of increasing quarterly dividend reflects its long-term strategy to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to shareholders. So it is an attractive pick for investors looking for high dividend yields. However, the company slashed its dividend twice following the sub-prime mortgage crisis in 2007 that affected many REITs.
Notably, Host Hotels' current annual dividend yield is fairly decent at approximately 2.5% based on its closing price of $18.41 as on Dec 17.
Given its strong and flexible balance sheet, Host Hotels has adequate room to increase its dividend rate, going forward. Moreover, as of Sep 30, 2013, the company had cash and cash equivalents worth $354 million. We believe that it has adequate cash for continuing with strategic investments, going forward.
Apart from Host Hotels, many other REITs have increased their dividends in the recent times. Parkway Properties Inc. ( PKY ) hiked its quarterly cash dividend by 25% sequentially to 18.75 cents per share and W. P. Carey Inc. ( WPC ) raised its quarterly cash dividend by 1.2% sequentially to 87 cents per share. W. P. Carey also declared a fourth-quarter special dividend of 11 cents per share.
Solid dividend payouts are arguably the biggest attraction for REIT investors as the U.S. law requires these companies to distribute 90% of their annual taxable income to shareholders.
Host Hotels currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). However, Getty Realty Corp . ( GTY ) is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) REIT stock.

Natural bitumen in the Tower of Babel
Researchers have been able to show that bricks in the mighty tower were bonded with natural bitumen
The Old Testament tells how the people, after recovering from the Flood, decided to build the city of Babylon in present-day Iraq. When they began to build a tower, the Tower of Babel, that would reach all the way to heaven, God stopped the construction, which he saw as an expression of pride. As punishment, he scattered the people across the earth and made them speak different languages so that they could no longer understand one other.
It has always been debated whether the story of the Tower of Babel has any historical validity or whether it is just a cautionary tale of human hubris. However, modern archaeologists have been able to show that several towers were in fact built during the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar II in the 5th century BC. One of them was particularly impressive, rising 80 metres above the ground.
Using spectroscopy, microtomography and scanning electron microscopy, researchers have been able to show that bricks in the mighty tower were bonded with natural bitumen. In ancient times, it was also used for other applications such as a sealant and for embalming. It is important to note that this material differs from the engineered and controlled product bitumen, which is obtained from the distillation of crude oil. | FINEWEB-EDU |

A minifilter driver can register a routine of type PFLT_TRANSACTION_NOTIFICATION_CALLBACK as its TransactionNotificationCallback routine.
Syntax
PFLT_TRANSACTION_NOTIFICATION_CALLBACK TransactionNotificationCallback;
NTSTATUS TransactionNotificationCallback(
_In_ PCFLT_RELATED_OBJECTS FltObjects,
_In_ PFLT_CONTEXT TransactionContext,
_In_ ULONG NotificationMask
)
{ ... }
Parameters
FltObjects [in]
Pointer to an FLT_RELATED_OBJECTS structure that contains opaque pointers for the objects related to the current operation.
TransactionContext [in]
Pointer to the minifilter driver's transaction context.
NotificationMask [in]
Specifies the type of notifications that the filter manager is sending to the minifilter driver, as one of the following values.
ValueMeaning
TRANSACTION_NOTIFY_COMMIT
This notification is sent when the transaction is being committed.
TRANSACTION_NOTIFY_COMMIT_FINALIZE
For Windows Vista SP1 and later, this notification is sent when the transaction is fully committed (that is, when all of the resource managers associated with the transaction, such as TxF, have committed).
TRANSACTION_NOTIFY_PREPARE
This notification is sent when the transaction enters the prepare for commit phase.
TRANSACTION_NOTIFY_PREPREPARE
This notification is sent when the transaction enters the pre-prepare for commit phase.
TRANSACTION_NOTIFY_ROLLBACK
This notification is sent when the transaction is being rolled back or aborted.

Hixon, Staffordshire
Hixon is a village and a civil parish in the English county of Staffordshire.
Location
The village is 7.8 mi east of the town of Stafford, 9.9 mi southeast of the town of Stone, 6.4 mi northwest of the town of Rugeley and 8.6 mi south west of Uttoxeter. The nearest railway station is at Rugeley. The nearest main roads are the A518 which skirts 1.3 mi north of the village, and the A51 which runs to the west.
Etymology
The genesis of the village name is said to be of Scandinavian origin. The first part, Hus is thought to be the Viking word for house. The last part Dun is an old English word for Hill, so giving the origins as The House on the Hill. Another school of thought originates the name from a person known as Hyht with the following es indicating it in the possession and can be interpreted as Hyht's hill. Over the years the village has been recorded under the names Huchtesdona in 1130, Huhtesdon and Huytesdon.
The Domesday Book
Hixon is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. In the survey the village has the name Hustedone. and was described as being very small with five households. The village assets included two ploughs, a meadow and 3 acres. The head of the manor was Haywood. In 1066 the lord of the manor was the Bishop of Chester. In 1086 the lord of the manor was Nigel of Stafford and the Bishop of Chester was now the tenant-in-chief. The survey also states that the value of the parish was 10s 9d.
RAF Hixon
During the Second World War, Hixon was the location of a Royal Air Force Station built for RAF Bomber Command. The station opened in 1942 on a site located 0.9 mi north west of the village and had the station identification code of HX. Three intersecting concrete runways were built on the station, which were surfaced with tarmac for use by Class-A bombers. The station building and technical site were located on the south east of the station and included accommodation and communal facilities for 2,938 RAF personnel. There were also four T-2 type hangars and one MAP B-1 aircraft hangar. Overseeing the station was a 1941 pattern control tower which still survives and is currently being used as industrial offices. During the war bomber aircraft that used the airfield included Vickers Wellingtons, Avro Lancasters and Bristol Blenheims. Other types that operated from the station included Curtiss P40 Tomahawks, Miles M.9 Masters, Miles M.25 Martinets and Hawker Hurricanes which were mainly used for training.
Hixon rail crash
On 6 January 1968 a 120-ton transformer was being moved from the English Electric factory at Stafford to storage on the disused airfield at Hixon. The road train grounded on the level crossing in New Road (aka Station Road), Hixon. An express train from Manchester London Road to Euston ran into the transformer. Eleven people were killed and twenty seven seriously injured. Following this accident the requirements for telephones at automatic crossings were increased greatly and their position and signage improved. The level crossing was eventually replaced by a bridge in 2002 following the tragic death of local man Tony Heasman whose vehicle was struck on the crossing.
Public houses
The village has only one public house, The Bank House, since the demolition of the former Green Man in September 2020 The Bankhouse Inn used to have a butchers and brew house attached. This pub has been extended and now includes a seating area for meals however the bar and lounge are still very old with timbers and open fires.
The Green Man was used for many public events such as the annual fireworks that raise money for the Charity for Hixons Elderly Folk (CHEF) and CHEF fest which are very well supported. The Green Man closed in November 2019 having been sold to a private developer, with planning permission granted for a mix of residential and commercial property. This was despite the best efforts of the local community who presented viable options to the owner at the time Steve Rabjons.
Organisations
Hixon Community Association (HCA) is an umbrella group that collaborates with many smaller groups and organisations. Its main focus is to help pool resources and work with other groups to achieve their goals.
HCA has shared interests with the following groups:
* St Peters PTFA
* Wellington Fields Allotments Association
* Hixon Memorial Hall
* Hixon Green and Clean
* Friends of Hixon
* The Charity for Hixon Elderly Folk (CHEF)
* Millennium Green Trust
CHEF continues to raise money through CHEF Fest music festival. CHEF Fest is an annual festival helping to raise money for the old folks Christmas Party. Following the demolition of the Green Man public house, the music festival has relocated to the Millennium Green in Hixon.
The Parish Church of Saint Peter
The 19th century parish church of Saint Peter is a Grade II listed building, in the Early English Gothic style. and was designed and built by the English Gothic revival architect George Gilbert Scott.
The site for the church was given by Lord Talbot and had previously been occupied by a windmill: this gives the church an unusual location on high ground, away from the road, on the edge of the village. The foundation stone was laid by the Marchioness of Lothian in July 1846. The Church was consecrated on St. Peter's Day 1848 (Tuesday, 29 June) by the then Bishop of Lichfield, John Lonsdale.
The church is part of the combined Mid-Trent Churches benefice of the Diocese of Lichfield, covering ten churches across eight parishes.
Adjacent to the church stands the old St.Peters school and the St.peters school house. Originally home to the Headmaster and Headmistress and their family. Mr. & Mrs. Harrison. ( 1960's )
Hixon Halt and the railway
The village was connected to the rail network when the North Staffordshire Railway was routed through the area along the Trent Valley. The station was called Hixon Halt and it was opened in 1847 two years after the railway line had first been opened in 1845. Hixon Halt was located half a mile south of the village but was closed for passengers in 1947.
Bus services
Chaserider run one main bus service to Stafford and Uttoxeter which use 5 different stops in the village with the main two being on Martins Way and Back Lane opposite the Bankhouse Inn. D&G Bus operate service X41 to Drayton Manor theme park during the summer which passes through the village.
D&G formerly operated 842 to Great Haywood and Rugeley but this was withdrawn due to County Council funding.
People of note
* Wilmot Martin, MBE, (1875-1963), a farmer, charitable fundraiser and entertainer who performed under the name 'The Staffordshire Harry Lauder'. Buried in St Peter's Church, Hixon. | WIKI |
rel="nofollow"
"Nofollow" provides a way for webmasters to tell search engines "Don't follow links on this page" or "Don't follow this specific link."
Originally, the nofollow attribute appeared in the page-level meta tag, and instructed search engines not to follow (i.e., crawl) any outgoing links on the page. For example:
<meta name="robots" content="nofollow" />
Before nofollow was used on individual links, preventing robots from following individual links on a page required a great deal of effort (for example, redirecting the link to a URL blocked in robots.txt). That's why the nofollow attribute value of the rel attribute was created. This gives webmasters more granular control: instead of telling search engines and bots not to follow any links on the page, it lets you easily instruct robots not to crawl a specific link. For example:
<a href="signin.php" rel="nofollow">sign in</a>
How does Google handle nofollowed links?
In general, we don't follow them. This means that Google does not transfer PageRank or anchor text across these links. Essentially, using nofollow causes us to drop the target links from our overall graph of the web. However, the target pages may still appear in our index if other sites link to them without using nofollow, or if the URLs are submitted to Google in a Sitemap. Also, it's important to note that other search engines may handle nofollow in slightly different ways.
What are Google's policies and some specific examples of nofollow usage?
Here are some cases in which you might want to consider using nofollow:
• Untrusted content: If you can't or don't want to vouch for the content of pages you link to from your site — for example, untrusted user comments or guestbook entries — you should nofollow those links. This can discourage spammers from targeting your site, and will help keep your site from inadvertently passing PageRank to bad neighborhoods on the web. In particular, comment spammers may decide not to target a specific content management system or blog service if they can see that untrusted links in that service are nofollowed. If you want to recognize and reward trustworthy contributors, you could decide to automatically or manually remove the nofollow attribute on links posted by members or users who have consistently made high-quality contributions over time.
• Paid links: A site's ranking in Google search results is partly based on analysis of those sites that link to it. In order to prevent paid links from influencing search results and negatively impacting users, we urge webmasters use nofollow on such links. Search engine guidelines require machine-readable disclosure of paid links in the same way that consumers online and offline appreciate disclosure of paid relationships (for example, a full-page newspaper ad may be headed by the word "Advertisement"). More information on Google's stance on paid links.
• Crawl prioritization: Search engine robots can't sign in or register as a member on your forum, so there's no reason to invite Googlebot to follow "register here" or "sign in" links. Using nofollow on these links enables Googlebot to crawl other pages you'd prefer to see in Google's index. However, a solid information architecture — intuitive navigation, user- and search-engine-friendly URLs, and so on — is likely to be a far more productive use of resources than focusing on crawl prioritization via nofollowed links.
How does nofollow work with the Social Graph API (rel="nofollow me")?
If you host user profiles and allow users to link to other profiles on the web, we encourage you to mark those links with the rel="me" microformat so that they can be made available through the Social Graph API. For example:
<a href="http://blog.example.com" rel="me">My blog</a>
However, because these links are user-generated and may sometimes point to untrusted pages, we recommend that these links be marked with nofollow. For example:
<a href="http://blog.example.com" rel="me nofollow">My blog</a>
With rel="me nofollow", Google will continue to treat the rel="nofollow" as expected for search purposes, such as not transferring PageRank. However, for the Social Graph API, we will count the rel="me" link even when included with a nofollow.
If you are able to verify ownership of a link using an identity technology such as OpenID or OAuth, however, you may choose to remove the nofollow link.
To prevent crawling of a rel="me nofollow" URL, you can use robots.txt. Standard robots.txt exclusion rules are respected by both Googlebot and the Social Graph API.

Understand Cascading Style Sheets
Use this topic to learn the basic concepts of CSS such as CSS rules, selectors, inheritance, and more. Also, learn how to associate CSS with your web pages in Dreamweaver.
About Cascading Style Sheets
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a collection of formatting rules that control the appearance of content in a web page. Using CSS styles to format a page separates content from presentation. The content of your page—the HTML code—resides in the HTML file, and the CSS rules defining the presentation of the code reside in another file (an external style sheet) or in another part of the HTML document (usually the head section). Separating content from presentation makes it much easier to maintain the appearance of your site from a central location because you don’t need to update every property on every page whenever you want to make a change. Separating content from presentation also results in simpler and cleaner HTML code, which provides shorter browser loading times, and simplifies navigation for people with accessibility issues (for example, those using screen readers).
CSS gives you great flexibility and control over the exact appearance of your page. With CSS you can control many text properties including specific fonts and font sizes; bold, italics, underlining, and text shadows; text color and background color; link color and link underlining; and much more. By using CSS to control your fonts, you can also ensure a more consistent treatment of your page layout and appearance in multiple browsers.
In addition to text formatting, you can use CSS to control the format and positioning of block-level elements in a web page. A block-level element is a standalone piece of content, usually separated by a new line in the HTML, and visually formatted as a block. For example, h1 tags, p tags, and div tags all produce block-level elements on a web page. You can set margins and borders for block-level elements, position them in a specific location, add background color to them, float text around them, and so on. Manipulating block-level elements is in essence the way you lay out pages with CSS.
About CSS rules
A CSS formatting rule consists of two parts—the selector and the declaration (or in most cases, a block of declarations). The selector is a term (such as p, h1,a class name, or an id) that identifies the formatted element, and the declaration block defines what the style properties are. In the following example, h1 is the selector, and everything that falls between the braces ({}) is the declaration block:
h1 {
font-size: 16 pixels;
font-family: Helvetica;
font-weight:bold;
}
An individual declaration consists of two parts, the property (such as font-family) and value (such as Helvetica). In the previous CSS rule, a particular style has been created for h1 tags: the text for all h1 tags linked to this style will be 16 pixels in size, Helvetica font, and bold.
The style (which comes from a rule, or a collection of rules) resides in a place separate from the actual text it’s formatting—usually in an external style sheet, or in the head portion of an HTML document. Thus, one rule for h1 tags can apply to many tags at once (and in the case of external style sheets, the rule can apply to many tags at once on many different pages). In this way, CSS provides extremely easy update capability. When you update a CSS rule in one place, the formatting of all the elements that use the defined style are automatically updated to the new style.
You can define the following types of styles in Dreamweaver:
• Class styles let you apply style properties to any element or elements on the page.
• HTML tag styles redefine the formatting for a particular tag, such as h1. When you create or change a CSS style for the h1 tag, all text formatted with the h1 tag is immediately updated.
• Advanced styles redefine the formatting for a particular combination of elements, or for other selector forms as allowed by CSS (for example, the selector td h2 applies whenever an h2 header appears inside a table cell.) Advanced styles can also redefine the formatting for tags that contain a specific id attribute (for example, the styles defined by #myStyle apply to all tags that contain the attribute-value pair id="myStyle").
CSS rules can reside in the following locations:
External CSS style sheets
Collections of CSS rules stored in a separate, external CSS (.css) file (not an HTML file). This file is linked to one or more pages in a website using a link or an @import rule in the head section of a document.
Internal (or embedded) CSS style sheets
Collections of CSS rules included in a style tag in the head portion of an HTML document.
Inline styles
Defined within specific instances of tags throughout an HTML document. (Using Inline styles is not recommended.)
Dreamweaver recognizes styles defined in existing documents as long as they conform to CSS style guidelines. Dreamweaver also renders most applied styles directly in Design view. (Previewing the document in a browser window, however, gives you the most accurate “live” rendering of the page.) Some CSS styles are rendered differently in Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, Apple Safari, or other browsers, and some are not currently supported by any browser.
About cascading styles
The term cascading refers to the way a browser ultimately displays styles for specific elements on a web page. Three different sources are responsible for the styles you see on a web page: the style sheet created by the author of the page, the user’s customized style selections (if any), and the default styles of the browser itself. The previous topics describe creating styles for a web page as the author of both the web page and the style sheet attached to that page. But browsers also have their own default style sheets that dictate the rendering of web pages, and in addition to that, users can customize their browsers by making selections that adjust the display of web pages. The final appearance of a web page is the result of the rules of all three of these sources coming together (or “cascading”) to render the web page in an optimal way.
A common tag—the paragraph tag, or <p> tag—illustrates the concept. By default, browsers come with style sheets that define the font and font size for paragraph text (that is, text that falls between <p> tags in the HTML code). In Internet Explorer, for example, all body text, including paragraph text, displays in Times New Roman, Medium font by default.
As the author of a web page, however, you can create a style sheet that overrides the browser’s default style for paragraph font and font size. For example, you can create the following rule in your style sheet:
p {
font-family: Arial;
font-size: small;
}
When a user loads the page, the paragraph font and font size settings set by you as the author override the default paragraph text settings of the browser.
Users can make selections to customize the browser display in an optimal way for their own use. In Internet Explorer, for example, the user can select View > Text Size > Largest to expand the page font to a more readable size if they think the font is too small. Ultimately (at least in this case), the user’s selection overrides both the default browser styles for paragraph font size and the paragraph styles created by the author of the web page.
Inheritance is another important part of the cascade. Properties for most elements on a web page are inherited—for example, paragraph tags inherit certain properties from body tags, span tags inherit certain properties from paragraph tags, and so on. Thus, if you create the following rule in your style sheet:
body {
font-family: Arial;
font-style: italic;
}
All paragraph text on your web page (as well as text that inherits properties from the paragraph tag) will be Arial and italic because the paragraph tag inherits these properties from the body tag. You can, however, become more specific with your rules, and create styles that override the standard formula for inheritance. For example, if you create the following rules in your style sheet:
body {
font-family: Arial;
font-style: italic;
}
p {
font-family: Courier;
font-style: normal;
}
All body text will be Arial and italic except paragraph (and its inherited) text, which will display as Courier normal (non-italic). Technically, the paragraph tag first inherits the properties that are set for the body tag, but then ignores those properties because it has properties of its own defined. In other words, while page elements generally inherit properties from above, the direct application of a property to a tag always causes an override of the standard formula for inheritance.
The combination of all of the factors discussed above, plus other factors like CSS specificity (a system that gives different weight to particular kinds of CSS rules), and the order of CSS rules, ultimately create a complex cascade where items with higher priorities override properties that have lower priorities. For more information on the rules governing the cascade, inheritance, and specificity, visit www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/cascade.html.
About text formatting and CSS
By default, Dreamweaver uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to format text. The styles that you apply to text using the Property inspector or menu commands create CSS rules that are embedded in the head of the current document.
You can also use the CSS Designer to create and edit CSS rules and properties. The CSS Designer is a much more robust editor than the Property inspector, and displays all CSS rules defined for the current document, whether those rules are embedded in the head of the document or in an external style sheet. Adobe recommends that you use the CSS Designer (rather than the Property inspector) as the primary tool for creating and editing your CSS. As a result, your code will be cleaner and easier to maintain.
For more information on CSS Designer, see Laying out pages using CSS Designer.
In addition to styles and style sheets you create, you can use style sheets that come with Dreamweaver to apply styles to your documents.
For a tutorial about formatting text with CSS, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0153.
About Shorthand CSS properties
The CSS specification allows for the creation of styles using an abbreviated syntax known as shorthand CSS. Shorthand CSS lets you specify the values of several properties using a single declaration. For example, the font property lets you set font-style, font-variant, font-weight, font-size, line-height, and font-family properties on a single line.
A key issue to note when using shorthand CSS, is that values omitted from a shorthand CSS property are assigned their default value. This may cause pages to be incorrectly displayed when two or more CSS rules are assigned to the same tag.
For example, the h1 rule shown below uses longhand CSS syntax. Note that the font-variant, font-stretch, font-size-adjust, and font-style properties have been assigned their default values.
h1 {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 16pt;
line-height: 18pt;
font-family: Arial;
font-variant: normal;
font-style: normal;
font-stretch: normal;
font-size-adjust: none
}
Rewritten as a single, shorthand property, the same rule might appear as follows:
h1 { font: bold 16pt/18pt Arial }
When written using shorthand notation, omitted values are automatically assigned their default values. Thus, the previous shorthand example omits the font-variant, font-style, font-stretch, and font-size-adjust tags.
If you have styles defined in more than one location (for example, both embedded in an HTML page and imported from an external style sheet) using both the short and long forms of CSS syntax, be aware that omitted properties in a shorthand rule may override (or cascade) properties that are explicitly set in another rule.
For this reason, Dreamweaver uses the long form of CSS notation by default. This prevents possible problems caused by a shorthand rule overriding a longhand rule. If you open a web page that was coded with shorthand CSS notation in Dreamweaver, be aware that Dreamweaver will create any new CSS rules using the longhand form. You can specify how Dreamweaver creates and edits CSS rules by changing the CSS editing preferences in the CSS Styles category of the Preferences dialog box (Edit > Preferences in Windows; Dreamweaver > Preferences on the Macintosh).
Dreamweaver and CSS
In Dreamweaver, you can work with CSS in multiple ways:
• You can use the CSS Designer to build your CSS with minimal coding. For more information, see Laying out pages using CSS Designer
• You can also code your CSS by hand. For more information on coding features offered by Dreamweaver, see Coding environment in Dreamweaver.
• If you prefer to work with Sass, Scss, or Less files, you can code your files using your preferred syntax and use it in Dreamweaver. For more information, see CSS preprocessors.

William Gilbert was an English physician, natural philosopher, and physicist.
He rejected both the Scholastic system of university teaching and Aristotelian philosophy, and he is best known for his book De Magnete.
Gilbert's first major discovery is that the Earth is a giant magnet. He demonstrated this with model experiments.
He also proposed that the Earth is a magnetic field. But these discoveries didn't become widely known until more than 300 years after his death.
The lack of a proper understanding of Gilbert's discoveries led many to ignore them.
In his De Magnete, Gilbert describes several different types of magnetic movements.
He also distinguished between a lodestone and an amber.
Gilbert established a large number of "electrics" and was credited as the father of electrical science.
William Gilbert studied the properties of magnetic bodies and electrical attraction.
He received inspiration for his work from Robert Norman.
Gilbert's findings helped explain why the compass needle points north in its rest position.
His predecessors had concluded that this was due to an island magnetic attraction. Gilbert's work proved their theories wrong. He also discovered that the earth's core is made of pure iron.
Gilbert's book 'De Magnete' was published in 1600 and became the standard work in Europe on electrical phenomena.
Gilbert was the first to distinguish between static electricity and magnetism.
He also compared the magnetic effect to the Earth's polarity. This analogy would become the basis of his magnetic philosophy. | FINEWEB-EDU |

What Are Macros & Calories?
Macronutrients and Calories: What are they?
With the new trends of dieting and quick fix fads to hit a specific goal body, it’s no wonder there’s so much confusion when it comes to dieting. At Mother of Macros, we aim to make dieting fun, simple, and sustainable through proper macro-dense meal preparations, nutrition coaching at your fingertips, and education that’s easy to digest! (No pun intended)
So listen to this... It’s not JUST the calories we need to hover...
Many people have tried tracking their calories as a form of dieting thinking that this will be the quickest way to fat loss, and while there is science-backed by this approach, some people still don't lose the weight, gain the muscle, or achieve their goals and that's because we are forgetting to optimize this tracking by counting macronutrients!
What are Macronutrients? Let’s help understand at the basic level and also answer the question of “how many calories should I be eating on a daily basis?” To make this simple and straight to the point, we need to know what calories are and what macronutrients are needed when it comes to calories.
Remember this: Calories = Energy. Calories aren't bad! They are simply energy.
Macronutrients are the larger sized quantities we need to help our bodies thrive and that help us obtain the calories (or energy) we consume. They are the Carbs, Proteins, and Fats which are vital to a healthy diet.
CARBS:
Carbohydrates or carbs, are essentially the quick fuel up for the gas tank. These provide energy for working muscles and prevent protein from being used as an energy source. These influence our mood, memory, and even brain function as well as give us the power to crush the day!
Carbs and calories: There are 4 CALORIES in each gram of carbs. So for example, a meal with 25 grams of carbs is 100 calories.
PROTEIN:
Proteins are the building blocks of our body tissues composed of amino acids. When protein is broken down into these amino acids it helps the body fuel muscle mass, your metabolism, hair, nails, bones, skin...okay you get the point!. When you think of protein, you might think of chicken, lean beef, fish, eggs, tofu, and protein powders. This is correct! All of these products have a significant source of protein that help our bodies thrive.
Protein and Calories: There are 4 CALORIES in each gram of protein. So for example, a meal with 25 grams of protein is 100 calories.
FAT:
Fats are also a key nutrient that works as a fuel source and is the major storage form of energy. Fats help to absorb fat-soluble vitamins. They can be either saturated or unsaturated -- and most foods have both! Fats are essential in the diet because it helps provide us energy to protect our organs, support cells, and keeps our blood pressure and cholesterol levels down on top of many other benefits.
Smash the myth: Fat's make you fat. FALSE. We need healthy forms of fats!
Fats and Calories: because of this high energy count found in fats, there are 9 CALORIES in each gram of fat. So for example, a meal with 11 grams of fat is 100 calories.
So let’s take it all in…
If we are on a calorie-tracked diet, we should first know what macronutrients we need to eat to get an adequate source of nutrients and ensure these macros are helping us reach our goals. So, how many calories should you be eating? This depends on your specific goals and how many macronutrients add up to the calories you take in. (You can either be in a caloric deficit or surplus to gain weight, lose weight, or maintain!)
Mother of Macros meal prep provides high quality macronutrient balanced meal preps to take the guesswork out of strategic dieting! We make this process fun and sustainable so you can still eat the delicious meals you love without the worry about how much protein is in your food, how many carbs are in your food, and how many fats are in your food. We not only provide healthy meals delivered to your door but also offer in-house nutrition coaching to get you started on counting macros and reaching your goals!

256 A smooth grassy slope, bounded, at the upper end, by venerable ruins half buried in ivy, at the lower, by a stream seen through arching trees——a dozen gaily-dressed people, seated in little groups here and there——some open hampers——the débris of a picnic——such were the Facts accumulated by the Scientific Researcher.

Tail vibration
Tail vibration is a common behavior in some snakes where the tail is vibrated rapidly as a defensive response to a potential predator. Tail vibration is distinct from caudal luring, where the tail is twitched in order to attract prey. While rattlesnakes are perhaps the most famous group of snakes to exhibit tail vibration behavior, many other snake groups—particularly those in the Colubridae and Viperidae families—are known to vibrate their tails.
Process
Tail vibration involves the rapid shaking of the tail in response to a predatory threat. The behavior is particularly widespread among New World species of Viperidae and Colubridae. However, some Typhlopidae and Boidae species may also tail vibrate. At least one species of lizard—Takydromus tachydromoides—has been shown to tail vibrate in response to a potential predator.
Tail vibration behavior in rattlesnakes is somewhat different from tail vibration in other snakes because rattlesnakes hold their tails vertically when tail vibrating, whereas other snakes hold the tail horizontally. Presumably, this is because the rattlesnake rattle produces its own noise, which would be diminished by the exterior of the rattle contacting the ground, and, conversely, snakes without rattles must vibrate the tail against the ground or some other object in order to make noise.
Speed
The speed of tail vibration is directly correlated with temperature, at least for rattlesnakes. The warmer a rattlesnake, the faster it vibrates its tail. Rattlesnakes tail-vibrate faster than other snakes, with some individuals nearing or exceeding 90 rattles per second. This makes rattlesnake tail vibration one of the fastest sustained vertebrate movements—faster than the wingbeat of a hummingbird. The movement is possible thanks to specialized “shaker” muscles in the rattlesnake tail.
Snakes more closely related to rattlesnakes vibrate more quickly than do more distant rattlesnake relatives. In one study that measured tail vibration in 155 snakes representing 56 species, vibratory speed ranged from 9 vibrations per second (Bothriopsis taeniata) to 91 rattles per second (Crotalus polystictus). In the study, only two rattlesnakes (of 33 individuals filmed) had a maximum vibratory rate slower than the fastest non-rattlesnakes. The fastest non-rattlesnakes examined were species of Agkistrodon and New World Colubrids, both of which could sustain vibratory speeds up to about 50 rattles per second.
It is unknown what benefit a snake derives from such fast speeds of tail vibration. One study did find that ground squirrels, Spermophilus beecheyi, are able to ascertain the threat level posed by a rattlesnake based on its rattling speed. Thus, it is possible that fast rattling speeds could be driven by predator-mediated selection, whereby snake predators avoid faster-vibrating individuals.
Function
It is also unknown what the specific function of tail vibration is. Many researchers have posited that it is primarily an auditory aposematic warning signal— like the growling of a wolf or the sound associated with African whistling thorn acacia (Acacia drepanolobium). Others have suggested it could serve as a distraction—particularly for nonvenomous species— meant to draw attention away from a snake’s head and towards its less vulnerable tail.
It has also been suggested that tail-vibrating nonvenomous snakes sympatric with rattlesnakes may be Batesian mimics of rattlesnakes that gain protection from predators by mimicking the rattling sound produced by rattlesnakes (all of which are venomous). In support of this hypothesis, one study found that gophersnake (Pituophis catenifer) populations sympatric with rattlesnakes tail-vibrate for longer durations than island populations allopatric with rattlesnakes. The authors suggest this finding is consistent with the mimicry hypothesis because the behavior appears to be degrading in allopatry, where predators are not under selection to avoid rattlesnake-like behavior. The mimicry hypothesis does not explain why Old World nonvenomous snakes also tail-vibrate, since rattlesnakes are solely a New World taxa, though there are also Old World venomous snakes that tail-vibrate.
Evolution
Tail vibration is widespread among Vipers and Colubrids, and the behavior may be deeply ancestral in both groups.
Tail vibration behavior in rattlesnakes may have evolved from tail vibration in rattle-less ancestors. In support of this hypothesis are studies that show the similarity in specialized tail morphology and rate and duration of tail vibration between rattlesnakes are their closest relatives. The evolution of rattlesnake rattling from simple tail vibration behavior may, in fact, be an example of behavioral plasticity leading to the evolution of a novel phenotype.
Other researchers have suggested that the rattle may have evolved originally to enhance caudal luring, and that caudal luring behavior therefore preceded defensive tail vibration in rattlesnakes. In support of this hypothesis, researchers suggest that a “proto-rattle” would not have increased sound production since rattles require a certain threshold of complexity (at least two overlapping rings of keratin) in order to produce sound. Proponents of this hypothesis suggest that a proto-rattle may have enhanced caudal luring, a behavior common to rattlesnakes and their closest relatives, because such a structure might have looked similar to an arthropod head. Those in support of this hypothesis also point out that specialized keratinized structures have evolved in caudal luring species before, such as in the spider-tailed horned viper, Pseudocerastes urarachnoides.
Opponents of the "caudal luring hypothesis" point out the lack of parsimony in such a process, since it would require the behavior to evolve from an offensive to a defensive context (extant rattlesnakes only use the rattle in defensive contexts). If rattlesnake rattling behavior evolved from tail vibration, it would require no such change in behavioral context. Additionally, some have suggested that a proto-rattle could have increased sound production if the modified tail tip increased noise production when vibrated against the substratum. | WIKI |
Poem: Dark Period
Plays on words and tiny twists mean much in a poem.

Beatrice of Savoy, Dame of Faucigny
Beatrice of Savoy (c. 1237 – 21 April 1310) ruled as Lady of Faucigny, having succeeded her mother, Agnes of Faucigny. She was the only legitimate child of Peter II, Count of Savoy, but did not inherit the county, which passed instead to her uncle. Beatrice was also Dauphine of Viennois and Viscountess of Béarn by her two marriages.
First marriage
In 1253 Beatrice was married to Guigues VII of Viennois, they had been betrothed to each other since 1241, the marriage being the work of Beatrice's maternal grandfather Aymon II, Seigneur de Faucigny.
The subject of Beatrice's inheritance was soon raised. Her mother Agnes, had originally intended to give a third of the inheritance to her daughter and two thirds to her husband Peter. However, she changed her will and named Beatrice as the sole heir of her lands in Faucigny along with Beatrice's husband Guigues. Beatrice's parents died in 1268. Beatrice and her husband, however, only inherited some of the lands that had belonged to her mother. Beatrice was forced to give up Thoire-Villars to her aunt, also named Beatrice. The claim of Beatrice to all of her mother's inheritance was strong considering the power of Guigues. However, due to exclusion of women from succession to Savoy, the county passed to her uncle, Philip I. Philip supported Beatrice's aunt in the Faucigny inheritance dispute, leading to a war. Beatrice was captured and imprisoned. She was forced to cede a portion of her inheritance to her aunt and pay homage to Savoy throughout the 1290s.
In 1269, Guigues died and due to the minority of their son John, Beatrice was appointed his regent. Her son was married to Bonne, daughter of Amadeus V, Count of Savoy, who was a cousin of Beatrice. However, her son died after a fall from a horse aged around eighteen. He was eventually succeeded by Beatrice's older daughter Anne and her husband Humbert, with future dauphins descending from their marriage. Following the death of her son, Beatrice left for Taninges with his remains, laying them to rest there and praying for his soul in the monastery she founded, Mélan.
Second marriage and widowhood
Beatrice was married for a second time on April 2, 1273 to Gaston VII, Viscount of Béarn. Her second marriage is confirmed by the agreement dated 15 December 1284 under which Gaston makes an agreement with Anne and Humbert over his claim on the County of Vienne. Beatrice arranged a marriage for stepdaughter Constance of Béarn to Aymon II of Geneva, a relative through her grandmother. Gaston had dealt with domestic problems amongst his daughters from his first marriage and which would succeed him upon death, his sons-in-law Roger-Bernard III, Count of Foix and Gerald VI, Count of Armagnac had battled for power. The marriage between Beatrice and Gaston did not produce any children. After seventeen years of marriage, Gaston died and was succeeded by his son-in-law, Roger-Bernard.
Beatrice did not remarry after the death of her second husband but did have more political involvement with her family back in Savoy. In 1294, she transferred her lands between Seyssel and Freiburg to her cousin Count Amadeus V. In 1296, she gave up her title as Dame of Faucigny to her son-in-law Humbert, for the benefit of one of his sons, reserving the usufruct for herself. Beatrice continued to be a powerful force in Savoy, causing torment for her cousin Amadeus especially, when she attempted to claim Savoy for her grandson Hugh. However, the claim proved unsuccessful and Amadeus remained count for the rest of his lifetime.
Beatrice died on 21 April 1310 and was buried at her monastery in Melun beside her son. Her various alliances with relatives and clerics in Geneva and the sharing out of her inheritance during and after her life, led to conflicts amongst her descendants for generations. The disputes between the House of Savoy and Dauphin de Viennois over the territory which the House of Savoy won back from the French in the Treaty of Paris (1355).

Ken Langone talks about stocks he likes, including JP Morgan and GE
Billionaire businessman Ken Langone told CNBC that he used Tuesday's stock market drop as a buying opportunity. "Where else can you go to get some kind of a decent rate of return, than equities," Langone said. "Balance sheets are in pretty good shape. I think the economy has got 1.5% to 2% in it next year." U.S. stocks were strongly higher on Wednesday, tracking to break a three-session losing streak. "Yesterday, I was adding to my positions," Langone, co-founder of Home Depot, said on "Squawk Box" on Wednesday. "I have so much Depot it's not prudent" to buy more. "I added to my J.P. Morgan position," he continued. Shares of the $412 billion New York banking behemoth fell nearly 1.3% on Tuesday. But they're up nearly 35% in 2019, hitting an all-time high last week. Langone also said he added to his Parker-Hannifin position. Cleveland-based Parker-Hannifin, with a stock market value of more than $25 billion, makes engineering components and technologies used in products in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, electronics and power generation. Langone said Parker-Hannifin is "extremely well run," and the company has raised its dividend every year for 63 years. In fiscal year 2019, the company increased its annual dividend payout by 13%. Shares of Parker-Hannifin, about 5% shy of early 2018 all-time highs, are up more than 30% in 2019. The stock dropped for five straight sessions as of Tuesday's close. Also in the industrial sector, Langone said he likes General Electric. He said he got back into GE, where he once served as a director, earlier this year, following billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller into the stock. "Stan made a big bet," said Langone, also founder of investment bank Invemed Associates. Druckenmiller told CNBC on Aug. 15 that he brought GE shares during the stock's double-digit plunge brought about by a report from Madoff-whistleblower Harry Markopolos accusing the conglomerate of an Enron-like fraud. The company has denied those accusations. "I think Culp is doing a hell of a job," Langone said Wednesday, referring to Larry Culp, the third CEO of embattled GE in a little over two years. Culp was a GE board member before getting the top job. He was previously CEO of Danaher. After spending time with Culp, Langone said he was persuaded to buy back in. That's a turnaround from comments in December 2018, a couple months after Culp was appointed, when Langone called the company's performance an unfortunate "disaster" and a prime example of "bad governance." Shares of GE, while down about 80% from all-time highs in 2000, are up about 45% in 2019, recently hitting several new 52-week highs. As of Tuesday's close, the stock was on a five-session losing streak. Boston-based GE, at one time America's most valuable company, now has a stock market value below $100 billion. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Colin Hawkins
Colin Joseph Hawkins (born 17 August 1977) is an Irish retired footballer and current manager of Shamrock Rovers B. Hawkins was a central defender with Shamrock Rovers along with a number of other clubs in the League of Ireland and cross-channel in England. He has represented the Republic of Ireland at youth and U21 levels.
Coventry City
Hawkins made his first League of Ireland appearance as a schoolboy for Salthill Devon on 14 August 1994. He produced an impressive display despite his side losing 4–0 to Athlone Town in the League of Ireland Cup. After finishing his secondary education Hawkins was offered a 2-year contract with then English Premiership side Coventry City after impressing in trials. Hawkins played for the Republic of Ireland national under-19 football team in the 1996 UEFA European Under-18 Championship finals in Luxembourg. After the 1996/97 season the Coventry management deemed Hawkins to be surplus to requirements and released him, having never played a senior game. That summer he played a starring role in the Brian Kerr managed Republic of Ireland under-20 side in the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championships, helping Ireland to 3rd place.
St Patrick's Athletic
Despite interest from several British sides Hawkins signed for Irish top flight club St Patrick's Athletic, where he linked up with fellow Bronze medallists from the FIFA World Youth Championships, Trevor Molloy and Thomas Morgan. Hawkins immediately earned a starting spot alongside Packie Lynch and their solid base helped St Pats win the championship in his first season. Hawkins played in the Champions League preliminary round against Celtic in 1998, in a 0–0 draw at Celtic Park. He was rewarded with the Players' Young Player of the Year Award. In November 1998 he was awarded the FAI national League player of the year award. St Pats also won the league in Hawkins second season. During these years he would represent Ireland many times at Under 21 level. Hawkins was injured at the start of the 1999/2000 season and on his return was played in a deep midfield role. He was not comfortable there and his performance levels dropped remarkably. Towards the end of the season it was announced that he would not stay with St Pats, but join English Football Conference side Doncaster Rovers.
Doncaster Rovers
Hawkins was signed by Ian Snodin, but within weeks Snodin was sacked and replaced by Steve Wignall. Wignall did not rate Hawkins as highly as Snodin did, and initially Hawkins had to be content with only substitute appearances. He broke into the starting line up in November 2000 and remained there for the rest of the 2000/01 season. Hawkins had firmly established himself in the side during the first half of the 2001/02 season but was forced to leave the club, after Doncaster were forced to cut their playing squad down due to financial restrictions.
Bohemians
November 2001 saw Hawkins return to Ireland to play for Bohemians and he made his debut for the "Gypsies" against former club St. Pats on 30 November. In 2003 Hawkins won his third league winners medal as Bohemians won their second title in 3 years, though Hawkins was never a popular player in Dalymount Park due to consistent poor performances.
Shelbourne
At the end of the 2004 season, Bohemians Dublin rivals Shelbourne signed 3 out-of-contract players from Bohemians; Hawkins, Glen Crowe, and Bobby Ryan. Hawkins won his fourth league title, and his first piece of silverware at Shelbourne, as they won their third title in 4 years in November 2006 defeating Bohemians 2–1 to clinch the top spot.
Coventry City
In January 2007 Hawkins made a free transfer back to Championship side Coventry City, the team where he signed his first professional contract. This time however Hawkins went on to make several very impressive appearances in his first season back, helping Coventry City stay clear of relegation. A troublesome Achilles injury restricted Hawkins to just a solitary start in his second season (against Notts County in the League Cup) and with the arrival of new manager Chris Coleman he was deemed surplus to requirements and his contract was not renewed.
Brighton & Hove Albion
On 28 May 2008, it was revealed that Hawkins had become first signing by manager Micky Adams in his second spell as manager at League One Brighton, agreeing a two-year contract. Hawkins and Adams had previously worked together at Coventry. Following the completion of his two-year contract, Hawkins was released by Brighton.
Sporting Fingal
Hawkins returned to Ireland in June 2010 when he signed for Sporting Fingal as he wanted to return home for family reasons. He was part of the team that bowed out the UEFA Europa league after losing 6–4 on aggregate to Marítimo. Hawkins found himself without a club three weeks before the start of the 2011 season after Sporting Fingal cancelled all their players contracts and later folded.
Dundalk
Two days after Sporting Fingal folded Hawkins followed his former teammate Greg Bolger and signed a one-year deal with Dundalk.
Shamrock Rovers
On 13 January 2012 Hawkins signed for the League of Ireland Champions, and his fifth Dublin club, as a player-coach

Abstract
A heart attack is an inhibition of blood flow in the coronary arteries that causes oxygen deficiency to the heart muscles, causing irreversible myocardial damage as well as disbelief, denial, anger, and fear of death in patients. A heart attack affects the physical and psyhological aspects of the patient and their family. This situation requires doctors and nurses to better understand the changes in the lives of patients who have their first heart attack in order to reach holistic nursing care. This study uses qualitative method with phenomenological approach. Data was collected by in-depth interviews with 4 men and 3 women between the age of 42 to 68. Data were analyzed with Colaizzi method. Life experiences of patients who have their first heart attack are categorised into 3 phases. The first phase is before heart attack occurs, i.e. circumstances that triggered heart attack. The second phase is when heart attack occurs, e.g. chest pain as if being squeezed by a piece of concrete, fear of death, disbelief, the importance of family during the attack, and desperately seeking medical services. The third phase is during treatment, e.g. feeling better because chest pain has subsided, resignation, praying, considering pain as a test from God, the intention to keep practicing religion in spite of being sick, feeling relieved and happy to receive a second chance from God, sleep disorder during treatment, and difficulty to pay hospital costs.This study discovered new forms of life experiences, including desperately seeking medical care, feeling better because chest pain has subsided, and feeling happy to receive a second chance from God. The findings of this study suggest the need for timely medical response for people having a heart attack, increased involvement of family during the treatment of early heart attack, visits from clergy and improved understanding of patients through health education, in order to develop an excellent medical service.

Revolutionizing Aesthetic Procedures: HIFU LCD Display Attachment
Revolutionizing Aesthetic Procedures: HIFU LCD Display Attachment
In the ever-evolving world of medical aesthetics, technological advancements continue to redefine the landscape. One such breakthrough is the High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) LCD Display Attachment, a cutting-edge innovation that is transforming the way practitioners perform and patients experience non-invasive treatments. In this article, we delve into the world of HIFU and explore how the addition of an LCD display attachment is elevating the standards of aesthetic procedures.
Understanding HIFU: A Non-Invasive Marvel
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, or HIFU, is a non-invasive medical procedure that utilizes focused ultrasound waves to target and lift skin tissues. This revolutionary technology has gained immense popularity for its ability to tighten sagging skin, reduce wrinkles, and promote collagen production, all without the need for surgical incisions or downtime.
The Role of an LCD Display Attachment
While HIFU has proven itself as a highly effective treatment, its real-time monitoring and precision were traditionally limited. This is HIFU LCD Display Attachment the HIFU LCD Display Attachment comes into play, adding a layer of sophistication and control to the procedure.
1. Real-time Visualization
One of the most significant advantages of integrating an LCD display into HIFU devices is the ability to provide real-time visualization of the treatment area. This means that both the practitioner and the patient can observe the progress of the procedure as it unfolds. This real-time feedback enhances the precision of the treatment, ensuring that the energy is accurately delivered to the targeted areas, thus optimizing the overall outcome.
1. Customization and Accuracy
The LCD display allows practitioners to customize the treatment according to the patient’s unique needs. They can adjust the depth and intensity of the ultrasound waves in real time, ensuring that the energy is precisely applied to the desired tissue layers. This level of customization not only improves the effectiveness of the procedure but also minimizes discomfort for the patient.
1. Enhanced Safety Measures
Safety is paramount in any medical procedure, and the HIFU LCD Display Attachment further enhances safety measures. The real-time monitoring enables practitioners to avoid unintended contact with critical structures beneath the skin, such as nerves and blood vessels. This reduces the risk of adverse effects and complications, making HIFU treatments even safer for patients.
1. Patient Engagement and Satisfaction
Patients benefit from the addition of an LCD display as well. Being able to witness the treatment in real time can ease anxiety and build trust between the patient and the practitioner. It allows patients to actively participate in their treatment journey, fostering a sense of control and confidence.
The Future of Aesthetic Procedures
As the demand for non-invasive aesthetic procedures continues to rise, the integration of advanced technologies like the HIFU LCD Display Attachment is set to redefine the industry. The combination of real-time visualization, customization, and enhanced safety measures ensures that patients can achieve their desired results with minimal discomfort and downtime.
In conclusion, the HIFU LCD Display Attachment represents a significant advancement in the field of medical aesthetics. It not only elevates the precision and safety of HIFU treatments but also enhances the overall patient experience. As technology continues to evolve, the future of non-invasive aesthetic procedures looks brighter than ever, promising even better results and higher patient satisfaction.

Export all component text used in Ignition
Hii all,
Is there a way to export all used component text for instance label.text, to translate it. Now i have to look for all the names of the component and translate it. But if the SCADA program is very big, it is a lot of work to search for al the used components.
So, is there a way to get a list of all used components with their name text?
Regards, Remco
vison or perspective?
Also its not all perfect as (im guessing) you also have texts that come from a db, tag or expression so that wont rly work on those…
But its a start i guess ive done it too xd
You’ll probably need to manually write a script.
Here’s a post about iterating through all the components on a perspective view -
Heres a way to do it in vision -
You’ll need to modify these to try and look at .text fields of appropriate components (or just try to get the text field of all components and catch the errors when you do it to a non text component.).
However this will just give you the current values of those texts components as of now - not all possible text values for every binding possibility. But it should still help you get a lot of the text you use from the program.
Here is a script i used to automatically add all text values to the translate manager in perspective
By checking the resource files… warning this may take a while xd

extract(v, arr, key)
elif k == key:
arr.append(v)
elif isinstance(obj, list):
for item in obj:
extract(item, arr, key)
return arr
values = extract(obj, arr, key)

if x not in newKeys and x not in oldKeys and x != "":
newKeys.append(x)
except:
pass
for key in newKeys:
system.util.modifyTranslation(str(key),str(key),'en')
i got one for vision too but the gateway isnt on rn you need it? xd

@Remco_Thijssen Ignore my approach, @victordcq would be much easier to use and implement and much more thorough.

How does this exactly works, i’m very new with programming but i tried to do my best haha. Is this a custom script or a script behind a button or something like that? And do you import a json file and what kind of json file is it? I need it for Vision and Perspective, what do you mean by gateway?
And what does os mean by import os.
Sorry for all the questions, i feel myself as a very dumb person right now hahaha
You can put this on a button to run it once
No need to import any files, the script finds the json files of the perspective projects which are stored on the gateway
Alright ill need a moment to fetch it
are you reffering to the script or my saying its not turned on?
os = operating system. its a library which can browse through your files so it can read all the resources
no problem haha this is an advanded script :stuck_out_tongue:
This should work in a button for vision… pro tip dont try to understand this one xD There is a bucnh of things that dont get used or are not needed but… it works xd
(again dont do this to often, it may take long xd)

Hi @victordcq victordcq
thanks for sharing this code, but i am not able to execute it in vision.
I tried to paste it in script console and keep getting this error that im not able to debug:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 142, in
File “”, line 67, in getAllComponentsForResource
File “”, line 50, in getProjectResource
AttributeError: ‘com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.project.Pr’ object has no attribute ‘getResourcePath’
Can you help me out?
Thanks
idk if it works in the script console, im not sure if the script console has any know of the projects…
yu might have to put it in a button script.
and for the error it seems you are looping over projects not projectResources
Are you sure you called getAllProjectResources?
Edit: i just copied the code in the scriptconsole (apart from the modify translate) and it works for me…
Did you copy everything?
im using the code just the way you pasted it above, there are no differences.
I use ignition 7.9.17 (vision 9.9.17), might that be a problem?
I keep getting the errors i mentioned above, any ideas?
seems like it is indeed a version thing
what version do you use
8.1+
you dont really need this part of the code tho, but im not sure if everything else works.
This bit just checks if the resource is the one you want (provided by system.gui.getWindowNames() allText = ProjectResources().getAllComponentsForResource(system.gui.getWindowNames()))
you will have to use a different compare methode or dont compare and pull in all files since thats probably what you want anyways.
maybe try
printing resource.getName()
or any of the properties of you find here to make a compare of the list you get of system.gui.getWindowNames()
(i think this is the link to the correct version, it should be close enough idk how to navigate the docs to your version xd)
http://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition79/794-beta1/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/project/ProjectResource.html
Now i converted my project to 8.1 for testing purposes, i was able to execute the code but unfortunately it only exported one text.
can you tell me, where does the text need to be in order to be exported in the translation manager?
every fixed property of “text, toolTipText and title” should be added. Bindings/expressions do not get added as these do not exist “yet”
What were you expecting to get?
now it works, thank you, for some reason i need to save the screen, then execute the code.
At this point, template parameters, that contain text, cannot be exported by that code?
I have one custom property, called “text 1”.
I tried to add 2 lines in your code:
if hasattr(component, "text1") and component.name != None and component.text1:
arr.append([resource.getProjectName(), resource.getResourceName(), resource.getResourceType().getTypeId(), component.getClass().getSimpleName(), 'text1', component.name, component.text1])
but it did not work.
try this: component.getPropertyValue('text1')
if component.name != None and component.getPropertyValue('text1'):
arr.append([resource.getProjectName(), resource.getResourceName(), resource.getResourceType().getTypeId(), component.getClass().getSimpleName(), 'text1', component.name, component.getPropertyValue('text1')])
edit yup should work
hasattr wont work but you might still want to check for component.name != None tho
Pssst! Just install Simulation Aids and the shortcuts will always work (component.text1) even for custom properties, and no matter what method you used to get the component reference. See this discussion:

How to build a Django App - Part 3: Creating the database
7 min read ⋅ 123 views
This article covers how to set up a database and admin panel for a Django site. This section is arguably the most complicated part of the tutorial, but it is integral that this done correctly as it provides the backbone to our project.
To start, we need to go to settings.py and scroll through the file until we see databases. It will look like this.
DATABASES = [
‘Default’ : {
‘ENGINE’ : ‘django.db.backends.sqlite3’),
‘NAME’ : os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ‘db.sqlite3’),
}
]
We can see that by default it uses sqlite. This is a simple file-based database. It’s really good for prototyping and development but ideally, you wouldn’t use it in production. Instead, we’re going to use mysql. In order to do this, first, we need to install mysql. If you already have mysql installed, you can skip this part.
To install mysql, open another terminal and run the following command. To avoid confusion we will refer to this one as the SQL terminal.
$ sudo apt-get update
Then once the system is up-to-date enter the following command.
$ sudo apt-get install mysql server
You will be asked to set a password for the root user. This isn’t necessary but probably worth doing. Once the installation is complete, we can run the next command to see if it’s running.
$ service mysql status
Once we’ve checked that it’s running, we need to install the Python mysql module.
$ sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb
Now that we’ve done that, we can go ahead and create our database. First of all, we need to run the following command to log into mysql.
$ sudo mysql -u root -p
If you decided to set a password earlier, you will be asked to enter it. Once you have done that, you will be logged in. You will know this because the server will now have mysql> on the left.
Now we can actually create the database using SQL. Enter the following syntax to create a todolist database.
> CREATE DATABASE todolist;
To check the database has been successfully created, we can enter the following to see all of the databases we have.
> SHOW DATABASES;
So, now that we have created the database, we need to go back to our settings.py file and edit the DATABASES code from before. Edit the code so it looks like the this.
DATABASES = [
‘Default’ : {
‘ENGINE’ : ‘django.db.backends.mysql’),
‘NAME’ : ‘todolist’,
‘USER’ : ‘root’,
‘PASSWORD’ : ‘12345678’,
‘HOST’ : ‘’,
‘PORT’ : ‘’,
}
]
For PASSWORD, be sure to specify the actual password you used. HOST is blank as the default is your localhost and PORT is also blank for the default port. Once you have done this, make sure to save it.
Now we want to run our migration. This next command is going to create all the tables we need for our app. Go back to the terminal and start by entering the following command.
$ python manage.py migrate
You should see that it has applied those migrations. Now go back to the SQL terminal and enter the following command.
> use todolist;
Then to view our tables, enter:
> show tables;
You will now a bunch of table names appear. This means our tables have been created successfully.
The next thing we want to do is create our model for todos. In the text editor, go to the todos folder and then open models.py. Inside this file, we want to create a class for our models. Type the following code into the editor.
class ToDo(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
text = models.TextField()
created_at = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now, blank=True)
CharField needs to have a max length for the characters. Having a max length ensures that more correct data is entering the database. You can just set this to the maximum limit it will allow but this isn’t best practice. TextField is very similar but deals with larger amounts of text, such as blog posts.
We want our date and time to be automatically inserted. To do this, we can install a Python package called datetime. Add the following import statement at the top of the file, below the first import statement.
from datetime import datetime
That’s all we need to do to this file for now. Go ahead and save it and then navigate to settings.py again and add the following line of code to INSTALLED APPS.
‘todos.apps.TodosConfig’,
The chunk of code should now look like this.
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'todo.apps.Todoconfig',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]
Now go back to the terminal. We’re going to run a migration by entering the following command.
$ python manage.py makemigrations todo
If you get a warning that says your URL pattern uses include with a regex ending with a $, you can go and comment that line of code out in the urls.py file for now and then run the migration again.
Once you have entered the command you should see that it has created a migration. It should give you something like this.
todo/migrations/0001_initial.py
Now, enter the following command.
$ python manage.py sqlmigrate todo 0001
That will create our model. Now we need to run:
$ python manage.py migrate
Now, go to the SQL terminal and show the tables once again. You will now see a new table called todos_todo.
Next, we are going to create a user. This will allow us to use the admin panel. Enter the following command into the terminal.
$ python manage.py create superuser --username=sam --email=notarealaccount@spam.com
You can choose whatever name you like for username. Once you have entered this, you will be asked to enter a password. Be sure to choose something complex as it might be quite picky about what you can have as your password.
Now, we should be able to log into the backend. To do this, we first need to run the server. Run the following command to start the server.
$ python manage.py runserver
Now, go to the search bar in your browser and enter localhost:8000/admin. You should be given a page asking you to log in. Enter the username and password you just set and you should then be greeted with a page like this.
This is the admin page. From here we can add more users and groups. We can also add users to groups and set permissions for those groups. All of this serves as great functionality that comes out of the box, meaning we won’t need to add this stuff later if necessary.
You might have noticed we don’t have todos anywhere. To add this, we need to go to todos and then admin.py. In this file, we first need to import Todo from models. We can do this by adding the following import statement.
from .models import Todo
Now, we just need to add one more line of code to the file. Type the following code a couple lines below the two import statements you should now have in the file.
admin.site.register(Todo)
Save the file and refresh the webpage. You should now see a "Todos" section in the admin panel, like so.
If we now click on the add button for "Todos" we are given this page.
Let’s go ahead and add a To-do. You can call it whatever you want but I have simply chosen Todo One. In the text box, I have just said that this is my first todo for this application. Below the text box, you will notice that it has a date field and a time field. Thanks to the code we added to our Todo class, this should be current date and time. If everything is correct, you can go ahead and click the “SAVE” button. You should then be given a page like this.
From this, we can see that our “object” was successfully added. This is good but really, we want it to give us the title, rather than “Todo object”. In order to do this, we need to go to our models.py file and add the following code to our class.
def __str__(self):
return self.title
The entire file should now look like this.
from django.db import models
from datetime import datetime
class Todo(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
text = models.TextField()
created_at = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now, blank=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.title
Save the file and refresh your browser. You will now see the title rather than “object”. Now, let’s add another one. Again, for simplicity, I’m just going to call this one “Todo Two”. Once you have entered in the information and clicked “SAVE”, you will see that a second To-do has been added.
Back-end complete
At this point, we now have a fully functioning back-end, meaning we can start working on the front-end of our website. In part four we will begin working with HTML to create a simple interface for our users to interact with.

How to make your toolkit jobs time out
XMLSERVICE from 1.6.2 onward contains flexible timeout features, including the ability to have a program (RPG, COBOL, CL, whatever) time out if it runs too long. This is useful to end jobs that get hung with a MSGWAIT condition.
The PHP toolkit wrappers currently enable only one of these timeout features: the “idle timeout.” When using a private connection job, also known as jobs that have an IPC or InternalKey, the job can be made to time out when a certain number of seconds of inactivity have elapsed.
Cleanliness vs. performance Causing jobs to time out quickly will give you a nice, empty, clean-looking ZENDSVR subsystem, but will drag down performance the next time the job is started up. Try to find a balance between cleanliness and performance. If you plan to use the same jobs over and over, you may wish to NOT time out the jobs, either never ending them or ending them *IMMED at night, or some other scheme.
How to choose a timeout value If you have many transient users who will briefly use the site and then not return, you may want a quick timeout (30 seconds?). For users who will return over and over again, you may want a long or nonexistent timeout.
• Idle timeout with the new toolkit API
The “idle timeout” can be set or changed any time in this way:
// let's assume the toolkit connection has been established using getInstance() and is present in the variable $conn:
$idleTimeoutSeconds = 1800; // time out job after 1800 seconds (30 minutes) of inactivity
// a value of 0 means no timeout (infinite wait)
$conn->setOptions(array('idleTimeout' => $idleTimeoutSeconds));
• Idle timeout with the Compatibility Wrapper (CW)
Just as with the old toolkit, when you connect with i5_pconnect(), you can set the timeout interval and the number of seconds to wait. As with the old toolkit, idle timeouts only work with private connections. Use the constant I5_OPTIONS_IDLE_TIMEOUT to provide the number of seconds. Use zero (0) seconds to never time out (the default).
$privateNum = 0; // private conn number of zero causes the CW to generate a number for next time.
$idleTimeoutSeconds = 1800; // time out job after 1800 seconds (30 minutes) of inactivity
// a value of 0 means no timeout (infinite wait)
$options = array(I5_OPTIONS_PRIVATE_CONNECTION => $privateNum,
I5_OPTIONS_IDLE_TIMEOUT => $idleTimeoutSeconds
);
// connect (note: the "p" for persistent is required for CW private connections)
// and specify a private connection and timeout
$conn = i5_pconnect('localhost', 'user', 'pw', $options);
Note: The CW also supports the new API’s “setToolkitServiceParams” technique described above, because the CW uses the new toolkit underneath.

PLANTAIN with various grass seeds in the mixtures they offer for seeding down permanent pastures; in this country it is regarded as a weed, and as its seeds are of the size of those of clover, it is one very difficult to keep clear of, though it is much less harmful than most weeds. PLANTAIN EATER 595 Common Plantain (Plantago major). Among our native species is the seaside plan- tain, P. maritima, found all along the coast; its linear, fleshy, and almost cylindrical ribless leaves look very unlike those of the other plantains. P. Virginica is a hairy species found on sandy ground and dry hills, and P. pusilla is only 1 to 4 in. high, with thread- like leaves. P. Patagonica is a very variable species that has received a number of names ; it is found nearly the whole length of North and South America, and is especially common westward. The seeds of an oriental species, P. decumbens, are found in East Indian ba- .zaars under the Persian name of ispagJiul; they have much the same appearance as the seeds of other plantains, but when held in the mouth give off an abundant mucilage, with- out taste or odor ; one part of the seeds to 20 parts of water forms a thick jelly, and one part to 70 of water yields a mucilaginous drink much used for dysentery and other affections of the bowels ; they have been in use for sev- eral centuries, and are employed by the Euro- pean physicians in India as a demulcent. Since naturalists have turned their attention to the provisions for securing cross fertilization among flowers by the aid of insects and oth- erwise, these humble weeds have possessed a new interest, as they furnish excellent exam- ples of dichogamy, i. e., the stamens and pistils of the flowers coming to perfection at differ- ent times. In the common and ribwort plan- tains the long and hairy style is protruded from the apex of the closed bud, to be fertil- ized by pollen from other flowers, for a day or two before its own stamens are ready ; and by the time these are hung out upon their long filaments, fertilization has already taken place or the stigma is too dry to receive pollen from its own flowers. II. A banana-like fruit, the produce of musa paradisiaca. Though differ- ent specific names are applied to the plantain and banana, the plants are probably mere vari- eties; the former lacks the purple spots upon the stems of the other, and has a longer and more angled fruit. (See BANANA.) PLANTAIN EATER, the name of the mmopha- gina, a subfamily of conirostral birds, inhabit- ing Africa, and living chiefly upon the fruit of the plantain. In all the genera the bill is strong, broad at the base, curved, with notched tip; wings short; tail long and broad; tarsi and toes strong, the outer one capable of being directed backward ; this last, however, is de- nied by Swainson. In the genus musophaga (Isert) the bill is large, with the culmen much advanced on the forehead; fourth and fifth quills the longest, and the tertials long and broad; tail rounded; orbital region naked. The violet plantain eater (M. violacea, Is.) is 20 in. long, of a beautiful shining purplish black; crown and quills crimson, on the last with a lilac tinge ; bill bright yellow, passing into crimson at the tip, light and semi-trans- parent ; a white stripe beneath the eye. It is found on the Gold coast. In the genus turacus (Cuv.), or corythaix (111.), the bill is short and high, with the lateral margins finely serrated ; wings short, the fourth to the seventh quills the longest ; outer toe versatile ; orbital region naked, and head with movable crest. The Senegal plantain eater (T. purpureus, Less.) is about 16 in. long, of a glossy purple, with the head, neck, breast, and crest green ; orbits naked and red ; white stripe over the eye, and a black one beneath ; it is very shy, and diflB- Plantain Eater (Turacus purpureus). cult to shoot, from its frequenting the highest branches of the tallest trees; it is restricted to the W. coast of tropical Africa. Several oth- er species are described in Africa, all shy and handsome. The American subfamily opistho- comidce is placed in the same family by Gray; | WIKI |

112 illustrious friend the following curious account of their journey to church upon the nuptial morn: 9th :—'Sir, she had read the old romances, and had got into her head the fantastical notion that a woman of spirit should use her lover like a dog. So, Sir, at first she told me that I rode too fast, and she could not keep up with me; and, when I rode a little slower, she passed me, and complained that I lagged behind. I was not to be made the slave of caprice; and I resolved to begin as I meant to end. I therefore pushed on briskly, till I was fairly out of her sight. The road lay between two hedges, so I was sure she could not miss it; and I contrived that she should soon come up with me. When she did, I observed her to be in tears.' This, it must be allowed, was a singular beginning of connubial felicity; but there is no doubt that Johnson, though he thus shewed a manly firmness, proved a most affectionate and indulgent husband to the last moment of Mrs. Johnson's life: and in his Prayers and Meditations, we find very remarkable evidence that his regard and fondness for her never ceased, even after her death. He now set up a private academy, for which purpose he hired a large house, well situated near his native city.

What is the best treatment for fluctuating Parkinson's disease: Continuous drug delivery or deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus?
Rüdiger Hilker, Angelo Antonini, Per Odin
Research output: Contribution to journalArticle
Abstract
Motor complications impair quality of life and cause severe disability in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). Since they are often refractory to medical therapy, interventional therapies have been developed, which can provide a considerable reduction of daily off-time and dopaminergic dyskinesias. Continuous dopaminergic drug delivery (CDD) is based on the steady stimulation of striatal dopamine receptors by subcutaneous apomorphine or duodenal l-DOPA infusions via portable minipumps. Advances in the understanding of basal ganglia functioning and in neurosurgical, electrophysiological and neuroimaging techniques have led to a renaissance of neurosurgery for advanced PD. Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) is the most invasive procedure promising great benefit and the highest level of independency for suitable patients, but is definitely associated with surgical risks and DBS-related side effects. Each of these more or less invasive therapy options has its own profile, and a thorough consideration of its advantages and drawbacks for the individual situation is mandatory. In this paper, we summarize relevant facts for this decision and provide some guidelines for a responsible counseling of eligible patients.

Problem A2
Let C be the circle center (0, 0), radius 1. Let X, Y be two points on C with positive x and y coordinates. Let X1, Y1 be the points on the x-axis with the same x-coordinates as X and Y respectively, and let X2, Y2 be the points on the y-axis with the same y-coordinates. Show that the area of the region XYY1X1 plus the area of the region XYY2X2 depends only on the length of the arc XY, and not on its position.
Solution
Easy.
Let O the origin. Area XYY1X1 = area sector OXY + area OYY1 - area OXX1, and area XYY2X2 = area sector OXY + area OXX2 - area OYY2. But area OXX1 = area OXX2 and area OYY1 = area OYY2. Hence area XYY1X1 + area XYY2X2 = 2 area sector OXY, which is independent of the position of the arc.

Abstract
Cold Atom technology has undergone rapid development in recent years and has been demonstrated in space in the form of cold atom scientific experiments and technology demonstrators, but has so far not been used as the fundamental sensor technology in a science mission. The European Space Agency therefore funded a 7-month project to define the CASPA-ADM mission concept, which serves to demonstrate cold-atom interferometer (CAI) accelerometer technology in space. To make the mission concept useful beyond the technology demonstration, it aims at providing observations of thermosphere mass density in the altitude region of 300–400 km, which is presently not well covered with observations by other missions. The goal for the accuracy of the thermosphere density observations is 1% of the signal, which will enable the study of gas–surface interactions as well as the observation of atmospheric waves. To reach this accuracy, the CAI accelerometer is complemented with a neutral mass spectrometer, ram wind sensor, and a star sensor. The neutral mass spectrometer data is considered valuable on its own since the last measurements of atmospheric composition and temperature in the targeted altitude range date back to 1980s. A multi-frequency GNSS receiver provides not only precise positions, but also thermosphere density observations with a lower resolution along the orbit, which can be used to validate the CAI accelerometer measurements. In this paper, we provide an overview of the mission concept and its objectives, the orbit selection, and derive first requirements for the scientific payload.

Harold Whitlock
Hector Harold Whitlock (16 December 1903 – 27 December 1985) was a British athlete who competed mainly in the 50 kilometre walk. He attended Hendon School, then Hendon County School, in North London, where he planted in 1936 an oak tree sapling presented to him, along with his gold medal, by Adolf Hitler at the Olympic Games.
Whitlock won his first national title in 1933. Two years later, he set a new world record for a 30-mile walk, finishing in 4 hours, 29 minutes, 31.8 seconds. In the same year, he also became the first recorded man to walk between London and Brighton in under eight hours.
His main achievement came in 1936, where he won the gold medal in the 50 kilometre walk at the Summer Olympics held in Berlin, Germany, representing Great Britain, finishing in a time of 4 hours, 30 minutes, 41.4 seconds. He gained this victory despite being affected by sickness about 38 kilometres into the race. This sickness, apparently food-related, also affected his fellow British competitors Tebbs Lloyd Johnson and Joe Hopkins.
During the 1936 Olympics, oak saplings were given to gold medallists. Rather than planting the oak in his garden, Whitlock offered his as a gift to his former school, Hendon School. The oak remained at the school until 2007, when it had to be removed due to a dangerous amount of rot.
He continued to represent Britain at international level until 1952, when he came 11th at the Helsinki Olympics behind his younger brother Rex, who finished fourth. Competing at the age of 48, Harold Whitlock was Britain's oldest ever international athlete.
After this, Whitlock continued as a coach and judge. Notably, he coached Don Thompson, who won gold in the 50 kilometre walking event at the 1960 Olympics. Thompson would eventually take over his world record for the 30 mi walk. Whitlock also served as an official at those same Olympics.
He died on 27 December 1985 at the age of 82. In 2011, he was inducted into the England Athletics Hall of Fame. | WIKI |

How to Group Application using TaskSpace in Windows?
Several of customers who possess some huge screen monitors, or multiple displays setup take for granted the Taskbar space, but it is believed averagely a bounty space by Windows customers functioning on small laptop screens. It is not strange to get drained of Taskbar space when you have a loads of applications’ window spread out all at the same time – and it turns out to be pretty tiresome to unceasingly press Alt + Tab to alter between the windows. That is the situation wherein TaskSpace arrives in time – a timid, robust software that allows you to club presently executing applications into various TaskSpace windows thereby turning your programs more simpler to handle as per the job you want to do.
TaskSpace is totally free from any elaborations. It just functions as commercialized and functions pretty good to an extent. Also application is robust, which intends you merely have to extract the downloaded archive file to a coveted place and execute the EXE file inside as Administrator. You will be displayed with a nitty-gritty window that puts up a void space with the text ‘Drop apps here’. There are no menus, no additional settings or buttons with the intention to flummox you.
You can club any presently executing program or window into your TaskSpace. All that you have to do is easily drag the window over TaskSpace’s void window.
TaskSpace
There is not any restriction on the amount of windows that you can club under one TaskSpace. Although, while testing, I really did hit an issue while including some x64 processes, which in turn caused TaskSpace itself to halt responding. TaskSpace also possesses some problems with resource-craving application for e.g: web browsers, but for most universal-usage tools like My PC, Calculator, Notepad etc, it functions like a good luck charm.
group application using TaskSpace
Extra TaskSpaces can be started off instantly through the application’s System Tray icon. To perform that, right-click the icon and choose ‘New TaskSpace’ from the right-click custom menu. In here, you can also alter among numerous TaskSpaces and among ‘Windows 7′ and ‘Steam OS’ themes for the TaskSpace window.
TaskSpace for windows 8.1
TaskSpace is an awesome application for those expecting for a way to club numerous program windows into a tiny place to attain enhanced workflow for a specific job. For instance, you could club a PDF file along with Calculator and Notepad to make computations and noting down associated notes much more easily without even having to always alter among or sort windows. It functions on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 repsectively.

Detailed Description
This interface represents images and icons.
This interface is used for a representation of images like icons on buttons. IAccessibleImage only needs to be implemented in certain situations. Some examples are:
1. The accessible name and description are not enough to fully describe the image, e.g. when the accessible description is used to define the behavior of an actionable image and the image itself conveys semantically significant information.
2. The user can edit the content that includes an image and therefore the user needs to be able to review the image's position.

This appears to be an WP:ATTACKPAGE created in response to the criticism inserted at Love Jihad. If that's not the case, it is at least a WP:POVFORK of Hinduphobia (or its current redirect). Proper WP:CFORK may be possible. jps (talk) 22:29, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Abbrevation
Hello User:Fredddie, for the Main Roads you added the abbreviation H. I removed it again because: I hope you can follow my "semi-revert". --Gr1 (talk) 07:17, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
* In Switzerland it's very rare to abbreviate such roads with "H". The abbrevation is used in German Switzerland for Autobahns and Autostrassen which do not have an Autobahn number but have a Main Road number (and they're rare).
* On roads only the number is shown. On newspapers and so on the words are written out ("Hauptstrasse" in german, "route principale" in french, "strade principali" in italian and "via principala" in romanic).
* The abbrevation H stands for Hauptstrasse and would ignore the usage in other parts of Switzerland than German Switzerland.
* Interesting. I added that because of a suggestion from the French Wikipedia. –Fredddie™ 11:13, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
* Thank you for the hint, I investigated it a bit further. There is an regulation concordant the main routes in Switzerland (it's the main source for List of Swiss main roads). And in it's french edition it's defined: "H = route principale" (example H4, without space between H and number) . It seems that I was wrong, not you... --Gr1 (talk) 11:40, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Rh chance. If he barked again, somebody would be waked; if he went by her side quietly, she might escape. A cold sweat of terror burst on her forehead as she took her first step cautiously. The dog followed. She quickened her pace; he trotted along, still smelling the meat in the net. When she reached the willows, she halted, debating whether she should give him a large piece of meat, and try to run away while he was eating it, or whether she should let him go quietly along. She decided on the latter course; and, picking up her other net, walked on. She was safe now. She turned, and looked back towards the house; all was dark and still. She could hardly see its outline. A great wave of emotion swept over her. It was the only home she had ever known. All she had experienced of happiness, as well as of bitter pain, had been there,—Felipe, Father Salvierderra, the servants, the birds, the garden, the dear chapel! Ah, if she could have once more prayed in the chapel! Who would put fresh flowers and ferns in the chapel now? How Felipe would miss her, when he knelt before the altar! For fourteen years she had knelt by his side. And the Señora,—the hard, cold Señora! She would alone be glad. Everybody else would be sorry. “They will all be sorry I have gone,—all but the Señora! I wish it had been so that I could have bidden them all good-by, and had them all bid me good-by, and wish us good fortune!” thought the gentle, loving girl, as she drew a long sigh, and, turning her back on her home, went forward in the path she had chosen.
She stooped and patted Capitan on the head. “Will you come with me, Capitan?” she said; and Capitan leaped up joyfully, giving two or three short, sharp notes of delight. “Good Capitan, come! They will not miss him out of so many,” she thought, “and it will always seem like something from home, as long as I have Capitan.” | WIKI |

How to build a simple solid state Tesla Coil
WARNING!!!
Information provided here is only for people who are experienced in electrics / electronics and know what they are doing. Although in carefully designed experiment conditions, this circuit would not cause any harm, it can severely shock you, cause things to catch fire, destroy nearby electronic equipments, produce ozone and other reactive gases that can irritate your lungs, and even kill you at extreme carelessness.
So that, this information is 'only' for people; again; who are experienced enough and already in search of something like this. I do not take any responsibility about the dangers mentioned above. This circuitry is not a toy, only in right hands it should be constructed and operated.
If you fully understood the dangers and take responsibility then you can continue ...
How to build a simple solid state Tesla Coil
While I was in search of something that could satisfy my desire to build up a working Tesla Coil, I met with the many copies of a simple circuit. All of these were the same except some of them offered different values about resistors. When I had the chance, (in fact gained a small flyback transformer) soldered the parts together, applied the voltage and had 2cm. long violet sparks at the first test drive.
Although the circuit was so simple thus seemed should work with no problems, I realized one of my transistors became very hot quickly while the other was somehow wormed. To investigate the problem, I measured the collector currents of transistors separately and found that one of them was conducting about %85 of the the total current. According to my digital avometer, the hFE (current gain) value of the more conducting transistor was 180 and the other one's was a little different: 160.
This little difference (only %12) made the circuit asymmetric and decreased the performance. Just to learn how much an individual transistor could drive the transformer, I disconnected one of them each time and found that only one transistor was enough to operate the circuit. In fact connecting the second transistor was making the circuit unstable and decrease voltage output.
So I decided to start with a single transistor circuit and optimize it. Dual transistor circuit required identical transistors and also identical primary and feedback windings that have the same resistance (capacitance / inductance) values. 2N3055 or equivalent power transistors are not so cheap to buy a lot and not many of the sellers would allow you to select identical pairs with your multimeter at their shop. Since it's impractical to measure winding inductances, you'll appreciate why I offer you a single transistor solid state Tesla Coil as a starting point:
Be sure that you really understood the basic operating principle of this circuit. If there was no feedback winding, the transistor would conduct a steady current determined by the values of R1 and R2. But now the circuit is dynamic: It will oscillate on a natural frequency that puts your transformer in a resonance activity resulting in enormous voltage gain. Of course without any tuning attempt you can't expect the system running on the right resonance frequency. But it is not so important that your transformer would already be running in it's limits in the given voltage range. Such a tuning is more critical when you deal with a real Tesla Coil. If you want to learn what 'Resonance' means in this case, you can find very detailed explanations over the net or in electronics books about this phenomena.
The heart of the circuit is a ferrite-core flyback transformer that you can find in an old black-white TV or a malfunctioned monochrome monitor. Even though color TV and monitors have stronger flybacks, their secondaries contain additional windings and built in diodes usually whole coated with plastic that makes them hard to deal with and just because the diodes cause inconsistency on output voltage and voltage multipliers formed with capacitors and these diodes create dangerous voltage + current + frequency combinations I do not recommend this ones at the beginning. Find the simplest, single wound secondary transformer. Check out if it's secondary is ok with an analog multimeter. If there is a resistance (about a few hundred ohms) then you may think it is not burned (yet). Here is what it might look like:
Second step is the removal of the primary windings. An old but sharp enough knife would do this so quick; just cut them and clean the winding area.
Now you only have the secondary, although it looks innocent, is capable to produce thousands of volts if you wind 5-6 turns of wire on core and then connect and disconnect it to the power supply rapidly to watch the secondary convert your high current / low voltage input to low current / high voltage output. There's no need to remind you not to touch secondary terminals while doing this. Otherwise you'll get nasty shocks on your fingertips as a natural warning!
What the transistor will do is just to make this open-close loops automatically and continuous. When you apply the power, circuit will start to operate on a frequency determined by the winding inductance, capacitance, and ohmic resistance of primary, secondary's load status, composition and size of the ferrite core, length and position of the connection cables, junction capacity of the transistor, and many more as you can think of !
To form low inductance primary; wind 5 turns of enameled 18AWG wire (1mm diameter) on the core. Secure it with tape or glue at your choice.
To form feedback winding use 22AWG wire (0.64mm diameter) and wind 2 turns (or 3-4 turns depending on your transistor's Hfe) then secure it.
Now the mechanism is ready. Connect your resistors and transistor to this transformer system as in the circuit diagram. Do not forget to mount your transistor to a heatsink, otherwise it may be damaged after a very short period of operating time.
The value for R1 is for 24-32 volts operation. You may replace it with a lower value like 110 ohms for lower voltages. But 240 ohms will operate the circuit without any problems. As the input voltage rises the power consumption on R2 (27 ohms) increases. Although it seems won't become hot as much as R1 according to ohms law, current inducted on feedback winding uses R2 to reach the ground and this should be added to the calculation. So check it's temperature and use a higher wattage one if necessary.
Be sure that your power supply is capable of giving the 2-3 amps current as circuit will take. Set two cables in clearance of about 1mm at their tips to observe high voltage output from the secondary leads. This is an initial gap length to be sure. Please use a push button type switch since it would stop the circuit as you take your finger away. This is a legitimate precaution and the circuit should never be operated while it is constantly connected to the power supply. As you understood the security reasons well, apply the power by pressing the button. Now you should be able to see the sparkings. If not, and your multimeter shows that the circuit is already dragging 1-2 amps (or more) current then it's just the feedback leads you have to reverse. Now your mini monster should be working.
Use cables with very thick isolations if you are going to pick them and play around. Even when they are very isolated looking, cables can leak electricity since they are capacitively conductive at these much high frequencies. So your fingers can be burnt without any pain. Prefer to hold them by an isolated pliers or something like that. Better, have a rubber glove. In fact, nothing (even mica isolators) behaves as an insulator in this case. Be careful! Be very careful!! Always be in a mood like you're in the unknown deep ocean of the mysteries of the electricity. Again; be careful!!!
Do not give up if you can't make it happen at your first try. Check out everything. Get help of someone who experienced in electronics as well. Once you operated it successfully, you can go on next steps like building a plasma globe or an ion motor.
How to make a simple plasma globe
Please be careful: All of the dangers mentioned in the parent page are valid for this apparatus too. So be aware of high voltage. Please read additional notes concerning your safety given in the text below.
Once you operated your coil it's easy and funny to make some magic with it. A simple plasma globe would amaze you enough. All you have to do is to find an ordinary electric bulb. Since these bulbs are filled with gases to prevent the filament from corrosion and make it much brighter, you can ionize the gas in the bulb and turn it to a plasma globe. Not all of the bulbs have the same gas composition so you may have to search for. Your globe won't look as mysterious as original ones but it's worth to take a look at it.
As you see this circuit is grounded. You are grounded too and this means there is more availability for current to pass through your body. Take precautions for the high voltage cable and the conductive parts of the bulb so prevent yourself and other ones touching them. When you approach your fingers to the bulb you'll observe plasma attracting there. As you dare to touch the glass you may find tiny sparkings hitting your finger without pain but they will burn out your tissue. Intense lightning hitting a point in the glass sphere would cause that point to heat. With my tiny coil, I haven't seen this caused the glass to break but it's possible. If the glass breaks then there will be a chance that sparkings may jump from the bulb's wires to your fingers. Another danger is ozone, produced by the corona built up at the outer surface of the glass, that is harmful to your lungs. Also ultraviolet emission is very high for your eyes in this operation. So run your globe only for a short period, in a well ventilated place, avoiding to touch the bulb, and at an optimum voltage so it won't break and hurt you.
Here are some photos of a bulb I've operated. Notice that sparkings are formed easily and longer in the bulb compared to the ones in the air.

GYPSIES 35T them a sort of protection. Italy, Den- ,rk, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Germany k measures against them. In the first half the 16th century they probably received an accession of numbers from Egypt, for in 1517 a revolt against the conquest of Sultan Selim place under one Zinganeus, whose follow- being banished, took to wandering through- t the world in small companies. The sover- .s of Germany made efforts to reclaim and tie the gypsies. Maria Theresa in 1768 or- red that the numerous bands throughout her minions should be gathered in settled habi- ions, practise some trade, have their chil- in educated, and be called Neubauern, new ants. As they failed to obey, severer ures were enforced by Joseph II. in 1782, d at present the gypsies of Hungary, Tran- sylvania, and Roumania, together about 250,- 000, lead a more settled life than their brethren anywhere else. In Transylvania they are un- der the rule of a waywode of their own race, elected by themselves. They are likewise nu- merous in the southern provinces of Russia and in Turkey generally. Spain contains about 40,- 000, some of whom follow a mixed occupation, as keepers of wine shops and horse dealers. A considerable number are in Norway ; in France there are few or none ; and in England their numbers have decreased to about 10,000. Es- timates of the total number of gypsies in Eu- rope are variously given from 500,000 to 700,- 000. The laws against them have in most countries fallen into desuetude, they having to contend with a stronger force than legal pro- hibitions in the increase of intelligence among the rural population, who were formerly their patrons and victims. In England the oppres- sive statutes against them were repealed in 1783, 1820, and 1856. The gypsy physiog- nomy is Asiatic in type, with tawny complex- ion, quick black eyes, black hair, high cheek es, slightly projecting lower jaw, narrow uth with fine white teeth, which, with eir lithe and agile figure, causes some of eir young women to be considered beauties, eir habits are, however, so squalid and de- praved as to cause them before they are past middle age to fall into decrepitude. The gyp- sies have few redeeming characteristics. They are treacherous, cowardly, revengeful, and cruel. They have little or no religious belief, d no words in their language to signify the soul, or immortality. Velasquez ys, " The gypsies' church was built of lard, d the dogs ate it." Marriage is a tempo- form with them, and the limits of con- inity are not respected. They pretend at their skill in palmistry is the lore of the ptians. Their industry reaches no higher the tinkering of hardware and turning all articles in wood, with occasionally some listance reluctantly given in farm labor. In Transylvania they do a little in washing gold. y frequently act as musicians, as they have remarkable quickness in acquiring tunes by ear. Some of them, as Kecskemeti, Kalozdy, and Bunko, have been celebrated violinists. The young persons of both sexes are fond of dancing, and exhibit their skill for money, es- pecially in Spain. The men wear no distin- guishing dress from other similar vagabonds, but the women indulge their passion for gay colors and trinkets. In England the recognized gypsy woman's apparel is a red cloak with a hood, and a handkerchief tied over the head. Their huts are mere kennels of earth and boughs. It has been a question whether a band of genuine gypsies has ever been in America ; but many English authorities main- tain that the decrease of their number in the British isles is in a great measure due to their having emigrated to the United States. The language of the gypsies, though everywhere preserving forms of an unmistakably Indian origin, differs greatly in the various countries in which it is spoken. The best known are the English, German, Hungarian, and Spanish gypsy dialects. We shall confine ourselves to the English dialect, and follow the statements made in regard to it by Bath 0. Smart before the English philological society in London. The English gypsies generally use the English article, and but seldom their own forms, o for the masculine and y for the feminine. Nouns generally terminate in a consonant, or else in o when masculine, and in i or y when feminine. The genitive is formed by adding esJco or esto ; the plural by yor or or, and sometimes with an additional s, taken from English ; as slcam- min, a chair, sTcamminyors, chairs. Adjec- tives have invariably a final o or y, added even to English words. The comparative is formed by adding dair or dairo when there are no special forms, like cooslco, good, fetterdairo, better. There seems to be no superlative ter- mination. The pronouns are in many cases preserved in their original form, as yov, he ; lesty, his; yoi, she; latty, her. Instead of "I," they use "me," but for "of me" they return to their own mandy. The numerals are : yek, one ; dooey, two ; tring, three ; star, four ; panch, five ; shov, six ; a/to, seven ; oitoo, eight; enneah, nine; and desh, ten. Afta, oitoo, and enneah are, however, of rare occur- rence. Verbs are generally inflected as in English, but av is sometimes added as a sign of the first, and ella or I of the third person singular. Prepositions are : agal, before ; ad- rey, within ; aprey, upon ; taley, down ; paw- del, over. The ease with which the gypsies introduce foreign words into their own speech will be seen from the following proverbs given by Charles G. Leland in his book " The English Gypsies and their Language " (London, 1873) A cloudy sala often purabens to a Jmo dimus. A cloudy morning often changes to a fine day.

Signs of Shopping Addiction: Symptoms & Things To Watch For
Published:
Shopping addiction is a little-known addiction type. Many people don’t believe it’s a real addiction because, as a society, we always joke around, saying people have a shopping problem.
Struggling with a shopping addiction is a serious matter that many people go to therapy for because, like other addictions, it can become negatively impactful on their daily lives, relationships, and mental health. While some will say at least shopping won’t kill them, it’s still like a drug to those struggling with this addiction.
Learning more about what shopping addiction entails can help you better understand if you or a loved one might be struggling with this and how you can eventually seek the help needed to control shopping impulses.
Is Shopping Addictive?
Yes, having an addiction to shopping is a very real thing that people struggle with worldwide. It’s often referred to as oniomania or compulsive buying disorder, and professionals classify it as a behavioral addiction.
Like other behavioral addictions, a shopping addiction becomes a compulsive and uncontrollable behavior in someone’s life. Shopping addictions are similar to video game and gambling addictions in this way.
People who struggle with a shopping addiction will often feel a strong sense of relief or weight off their shoulders while shopping, no matter what it’s for.
For example, many shopping addicts will buy products they’ll never use, like cat litter, when they don’t have a cat, solely for the emotional relief shopping brings them.
It’s important to note that just because someone enjoys shopping doesn’t mean they have a shopping addiction. Shopping addiction is when you cannot physically control your impulses to spend money, not just when you buy a lot of things regularly.
What Symptoms Does Shopping Cause?
Shopping addiction isn’t something to take lightly. If you notice you might be exhibiting some of the symptoms below or a loved one is, it could be a sign that shopping is becoming more than just shopping to them.
Remember, everyone is different, so symptoms might look different for you than for someone else.
1. Feeling Euphoric While Shopping
A primary symptom of someone with a shopping problem is a feeling of euphoria while shopping and even while you’re putting the bags in the car or opening up an online order.
You can think of it like a drug addict getting their first hit and feeling high. Shopping addicts might feel something similar, only their drug of choice is buying things.
2. Shopping Despite Not Having Money
Shopping addicts aren’t concerned with the lack of money they might have, thanks to their shopping problems. They often physically can’t control their shopping impulses, so they might spend more money than their means allows or continuously open new credit cards to be able to purchase items.
3. Remorse After a Shopping Trip
Right after that euphoria they often experience on a shopping trip fades, many shopping addicts are hit with a strong sense of remorse or guilt. They often know they shouldn’t have bought what they did or how much, but they can’t help it, so they feel remorseful but generally won’t return the items.
Much like other addicts, shopping addicts can experience super high highs and low lows. In this care, the low lows are remorse and guilt after going on a shopping trip.
4. Neglecting Responsibilities
A prominent symptom of someone having a shopping problem is neglecting responsibilities. For example, calling out of work to go to the mall, not attending school, not picking up your children at the time you’re supposed to because you’re shopping, etc.
Neglecting responsibilities can look a little different for everyone, so keeping that in mind and looking at yourself or the person you care about responsibilities can help you see if they’re actually neglecting them because of a shopping problem.
5. Withdrawal Symptoms
Lastly, someone struggling with a shopping problem can experience withdrawal symptoms.
While these won’t necessarily be highly physical in nature like those struggling with substance addiction, shopping addicts may show increasingly irritable behavior if they haven’t been shopping in a while or even become highly anxious thinking about when they can go shopping next.
3 Signs a Person Might Have a Shopping Problem: Things To Watch For
We all have to shop regularly for things like groceries and necessities, so when does shopping start indicating that someone might have a problem?
Here are three critical signs to watch for if you think you or someone you love is struggling with a shopping addiction.
1. They’re Shopping To Cope With Life
Many addictions stem from a stress relief aspect that they believe is helping them cope with things going on in their lives. You should watch for impulse shopping after a stressful day at work or in general.
People with a shopping addiction will use anything going on in their lives as an excuse to go on a shopping trip. They might use it to cope with being overwhelmed, sad, anxious, etc.
2. Inability To Control Shopping Urges
We all have been standing in line surrounded by products just waiting for us to grab them, but not everyone has strong shopping urges. Those struggling with a shopping addiction will physically be unable to control their shopping urges.
They tend to buy clothing they don’t need, products that they’ll never use, and other random things solely for the thrill of shopping.
3. Preoccupation With Shopping
Being overly preoccupied with shopping is another sign that someone might have a shopping problem or addiction. When planning their day around the next time they can go into a store or check out something online, it can drastically affect their daily lives.
At What Point Is Shopping a Problem?
Everyone has to shop for various reasons, but there comes a point where shopping is more of a problem.
You can tell someone or your shopping is becoming a problem when you start seeing negative consequences from shopping, which starts affecting one’s life. Some signs that shopping is becoming or is a problem are:
• Financial difficulties include credit card debt, not affording bills, etc.
• Their daily function impaired, like work, social activities, and relationships, because of shopping impulses
• Shopping is putting strains on your relationships
• You start exhibiting feelings of shame and guilt after unnecessary shopping
• Someone is neglecting caring for themselves by prioritizing shopping
• Shopping to deal with stress or other negative emotions
How Do You Deal With Someone Who Has a Shopping Problem?
Taking the right steps to help someone you know and love with a shopping problem can sometimes feel challenging and downright impossible. It can be even more difficult when you’re worried about yourself and unsure how to deal with a potential shopping addiction. Here are some steps you’ll want to take:
• Express that you’re concerned and that you care
• Open up a line of communication
• Educate yourself about shopping addiction
• Encourage them (or yourself) to seek professional care
• Offer ways to help manage their shopping impulses
• Set boundaries if necessary
• Encourage healthy coping mechanisms like exercise, therapy, or other hobbies
• Try not to do anything that could enable the behavior
• Practice patience
Frequently Asked Questions
Not everyone fully understands shopping addiction because it does not come to mind when you hear the word addiction. Take a look at what others are asking regarding shopping addiction.
Is shopping an OCD addiction?
No, shopping isn’t an OCD addiction. While they have similarities, shopping addiction is considered a behavioral addiction, while OCD is more of an anxiety disorder based on intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors.
How common is shopping addiction?
Shopping addiction is a lesser-known addiction, so while it’s hard to know exactly how many people it affects, we can estimate it affects a small portion of the population. It’s essential to remember shopping addiction can look different for everyone, so it’s even more challenging to know.
Additional Addictions To Watch For
Shopping addiction is a lesser-known addiction, so it can be challenging to spot someone who is suffering from it. That being said, other addictions have similar attributes that you might want to be on the lookout for:
Wrapping Up
Shopping addiction might sound funny or made up, but it’s a serious matter that people struggle with daily. Despite being a less common addiction to have, it can be very disruptive to one’s daily life and have dire consequences.
If you or someone you know exhibits any of the signs and symptoms above, there’s nothing to be ashamed of. Seeking help can help you or them get their lives back on track and manage their shopping addiction.

Equilateral triangle
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Equilateral triangle
In geometry, an equilateral triangle is a triangle where all three sides are the same length and all three angles are also the same and are each 60°. If an altitude is drawn, it bisects the side to which it is drawn, in turn leaving two separate 30-60-90 triangles
Other websites[change | change source]
• MathWorld - the construction of an equilateral triangle
Principal properties[change | change source]
An equilateral triangle. It has equal sides (a=b=c), equal angles (), and equal altitudes (ha=hb=hc).
Denoting the common length of the sides of the equilateral triangle as a, we can determine using the Pythagorean theorem that:
• The area is
• The perimeter is
• The radius of the circumscribed circle is
• The radius of the inscribed circle is or
• The geometric center of the triangle is the center of the circumscribed and inscribed circles
• And the altitude (height) from any side is .
Denoting the radius of the circumscribed circle as R, we can determine using trigonometry that:
• The area of the triangle is
Many of these quantities have simple relationships to the altitude ("h") of each vertex from the opposite side:
• The area is
• The height of the center from each side, or apothem, is
• The radius of the circle circumscribing the three vertices is
• The radius of the inscribed circle is
In an equilateral triangle, the altitudes, the angle bisectors, the perpendicular bisectors and the medians to each side coincide.
Equal cevians[change | change source]
Three kinds of cevians are equal for (and only for) equilateral triangles:[1]
Coincident triangle centers[change | change source]
Every triangle center of an equilateral triangle coincides with its centroid, which implies that the equilateral triangle is the only triangle with no Euler line connecting some of the centers. For some pairs of triangle centers, the fact that they coincide is enough to ensure that the triangle is equilateral. In particular:
Six triangles formed by partitioning by the medians[change | change source]
For any triangle, the three medians partition the triangle into six smaller triangles.
• A triangle is equilateral if and only if any three of the smaller triangles have either the same perimeter or the same inradius.[4]:Theorem 1
• A triangle is equilateral if and only if the circumcenters of any three of the smaller triangles have the same distance from the centroid.[4]:Corollary 7
Points in the plane[change | change source]
• A triangle is equilateral if and only if, for every point P in the plane, with distances p, q, and r to the triangle's sides and distances x, y, and z to its vertices,[5]:p.178,#235.4

Diplomatic correspondence
Diplomatic correspondence is correspondence between one state and another and is usually of a formal character. It follows several widely observed customs and style in composition, substance, presentation, and delivery and can generally be categorized into letters and notes.
Letters
Letters are correspondence between heads of state, typically used for the appointment and recall of ambassadors; for the announcement of the death of a sovereign or an accession to the throne; or for expressions of congratulations or condolence.
Letters between two monarchs of equal rank will typically begin with the salutation "Sir My Brother" (or "Madame My Sister", in the case of a female monarch) and close with the valediction "Your Good Brother" (or Sister, in the case of a female monarch). In the case where one monarch is of inferior rank to the other (for instance, if the Grand Duke of Luxembourg were to correspond with the King of the United Kingdom), the inferior monarch will use the salutation "Sire" (or "Madame"), while the superior monarch may refer to the other as "Cousin" instead of "Brother". If either the sender or the recipient is the head-of-state of a republic, letters may begin with the salutation "My Great and Good Friend" and close with the valediction "Your Good Friend"; beneath the signature line will be inscribed "To Our Great and Good Friend [Name and Title of Recipient]".
Letters of credence
A letter of credence (lettres de créance) is the instrument by which a head of state appoints ("accredits") ambassadors to foreign countries. Also known as credentials, the letter closes with a phrase "asking that credit may be given to all that the ambassador may say in the name of his sovereign or government." The credentials are presented personally to the receiving country's head of state or viceroy in a formal ceremony. Letters of credence are worded carefully, as the sending or acceptance of a letter implies diplomatic recognition of the other government. Letters of credence date to the thirteenth century.
Letters of recall
A letter of recall is formal correspondence from one head-of-state notifying a second head-of-state that state's ambassador.
Full powers
In cases where an envoy is entrusted with unusually extensive tasks that would not be covered by an ordinary permanent legation (such as the negotiation of a special treaty or convention, or representation at a diplomatic congress), an envoy may be given full powers (pleins pouvoirs) "in letters patent signed by the head of the State" designing "either limited or unlimited full powers, according to the requirements of the case."
According to Satow's Diplomatic Practice, the bestowal of full powers traces its history to the Roman plena potestas; its purpose "was to be able to dispense, as far as possible, with the long delays needed in earlier times for referring problems back to higher authority. Their use at the present day is a formal recognition of the necessity of absolute confidence in the authority and standing of the negotiator."
Note verbale
A note verbale is a formal form of note and is so named by originally representing a formal record of information delivered orally. It is less formal than a note (also called a letter of protest) but more formal than an aide-mémoire. A note verbale can also be referred to as a third person note (TPN). Notes verbales are written in the third person and printed on official letterhead; they are typically sealed with an embosser or, in some cases, a stamp. All notes verbale begin with a formal salutation, typically:
The [name of sending state's] Embassy presents its compliments to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and has the honor to invite their attention to the following matter.
Notes verbales will also close with a formal valediction, typically:
The Embassy avails itself of this opportunity of assuring the Ministry of its highest consideration.
Notes verbales composed by the British Foreign Office are written on blue paper.
Example
The Ukrainian protest of the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation:
"The Ukrainian party categorically denies extension of sovereignty of the Russian Federation on Ukrainian territory, and reserves the right to exercise measures in accordance with international law and the laws of Ukraine."
Collective note
A collective note is a letter delivered from multiple states to a single recipient state. It is always written in the third person. The collective note has been a rarely used form of diplomatic communication due to the difficulty in obtaining agreements among multiple states to the exact wording of a letter.
Identic note
An identic note is a letter delivered from a single state to multiple recipient states. Examples include the identic note sent by Thomas Jefferson regarding action against the Barbary Pirates and that from the United States to China and the Soviet Union in 1929. In it, the United States called on the other two powers to peacefully resolve their differences over the Eastern China Railway.
Bouts de papier
A bout de papier (speaking note) may be presented by a visiting official when meeting with an official from another state at the conclusion of the meeting. Prepared in advance, it contains a short summary of the main points addressed by the visiting official during the meeting and, firstly, serves as a memory aid for the visiting official when speaking. It, secondly, removes ambiguity about the subject of the meeting occasioned by verbal miscues by the visiting official. Bouts de papier are always presented without credit or attribution so as to preserve the confidentiality of the meeting in case the document is later disclosed.
Démarches and aides-mémoire
A démarche (non-paper) is considered less formal than the already informal bout de papier. Officially described as "a request or intercession with a foreign official" it is a written request that is presented without attribution from the composing state and is, therefore, delivered in-person.
Similar to a démarche, an aide-mémoire is a proposed agreement or negotiating text circulated informally among multiple states for discussion without committing the originating delegation's country to the contents. It has no identified source, title, or attribution and no standing in the relationship involved.
Protocol
Standard diplomatic protocol varies from country to country, but generally requires clear yet concise translation between both parties.
Language
The earliest forms of diplomatic correspondence were, out of necessity, written in Latin, Latin being a common language among states of a linguistically diverse Europe. By the early 19th century French had firmly supplanted Latin as the language of diplomacy; on one occasion, in 1817, the British attempted to correspond with the Austrian Imperial Court in English, prompting Klemens von Metternich to threaten retaliatory correspondence in Weanarisch. In modern times, English has largely replaced French as a diplomatic lingua franca in correspondence between two states lacking a common tongue.
Rejection
States may sometimes reject diplomatic correspondence addressed to them by returning the original copy to the sending state. This is done as a rebuff of the contents of the correspondence and is typically reserved for cases where the receiving state feels the language used by the sending state is rude, or the subject matter represents an inappropriate intercession into the receiving state's internal affairs.
Publication
Diplomatic correspondence has been published in the form of color books, such as the British Blue Books which go back to the seventeenth century, the German White Book and many others from World War I, partly for domestic consumption, and partly to cast blame on other sovereign actors. | WIKI |

Rh, as we shall see, of nothing but ruining any movement that entrusts itself to its hands.
The petty bourgeoisie, great in boasting, is very impotent for action, and very shy in risking anything. The mesquin character of its commercial transactions and its credit operations is eminently apt to stamp its character with a want of energy and enterprise; it is, then, to be expected that similar qualities will mark its political career. Accordingly the petty bourgeoisie encouraged insurrection by big words, and great boasting as to what it was going to do; it was eager to seize upon power as soon as the insurrection, much against its will, had broken out; it used this power to no other purpose but to destroy the effects of the insurrection. Wherever an armed conflict had brought matters to a serious crisis, there the shopkeepers stood aghast at the dangerous situation created for them; aghast at the people who had taken their boasting appeals to arms in earnest; aghast at the power thus thrust into their own hands; aghast, above all, at the consequences for themselves, for their social positions, for their fortunes, of the policy in which they were forced to engage themselves. Were they not expected to risk “life and property,” as they used to say, for the cause of the insurrection? Were they not forced to take official positions in the insurrection, whereby, in the case of defeat, they risked the loss of their capital? And in case of victory, were they not sure to be immediately turned out of office, and to see their entire policy subverted by the victorious | WIKI |
Prediction: 2 Stocks That Will Be Worth More Than BigBear.ai 2 Years From Now
BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI), a developer of artificial intelligence (AI) modules for edge networks, has seen its stock decline nearly 70% since it went public by merging with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) on Dec. 8, 2021. Like many other SPAC-backed start-ups, BigBear.ai set some ambitious growth targets but missed them by a mile.
Prior to going public, BigBear.ai claimed it could grow its annual revenue from $182 million in 2021 to $550 million in 2024. But in reality, its revenue only rose from $146 million in 2021 to $158 million in 2024 as it struggled with macroeconomic headwinds, intense competition, and the bankruptcy of its major customer Virgin Orbit in 2023.
For 2025, analysts only expect its revenue to rise 8% to $170 million as it slogs through those challenges. It's also on its third CEO since its public debut, and it recently delayed its latest 10-K filing to restate all of its financial statements for 2022 and 2023. It needs to fix some calculation errors regarding its convertible notes that will mature in 2026.
With a market cap of $886 million, BigBear.ai still doesn't look like a bargain at 5 times this year's sales. The bulls might expect its newest CEO -- Kevin McAleenan, who served as the Department of Homeland Security's acting secretary for about six months in 2019 under the first Trump administration -- to bring in some fresh government contracts, but it's still deeply unprofitable.
So instead of betting on BigBear.ai's long-shot turnaround, investors should check out two smaller tech stocks that could eclipse its market cap within the next two years: BlackSky Technology (NYSE: BKSY) and Jumia Technologies (NYSE: JMIA).
BlackSky develops real-time imagery and analytics software for satellites. Its AI-powered system can quickly spot vehicles, aircraft, vessels, and buildings, and it crunches that visual data to help its clients make more efficient decisions. It serves a wide range of customers across the national security, supply chain management, crisis management, critical infrastructure monitoring, and economic intelligence markets. It went public by merging with a SPAC in 2021.
From 2021 to 2024, its revenue grew from $34 million to $102 million (a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.6%). Its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) also turned positive in 2024. That growth was largely driven by the market's robust demand for its new Gen-3 satellite's imaging and AI services.
From 2024 to 2026, analysts expect its revenue to rise at a two-year CAGR of 28% to $168 million as its adjusted EBITDA grows at a CAGR of 89%. With a market cap of $277 million, it trades at just 2 times this year's projected sales.
Assuming BlackSky matches analysts' estimates, grows its revenue by another 28% in 2027 to $215 million, and trades at a more optimistic 5 times its forward sales, its market cap could swell to $1.08 billion within the next two years. If BigBear.ai's growth stalls out and its valuations crumble during those two years, it could be worth a lot less than BlackSky.
Jumia is one of the largest players in Africa's fragmented e-commerce market. It's based in Berlin, but it currently operates across nine African countries: Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal, and Uganda.
Jumia's website attracted more than 800 million visits in 2024, and it hosts roughly 70,000 sellers, over 117 million products, and 5.4 million active consumers. It's still tiny compared to Amazon, but its early-mover advantage could make it a great long-term play on Africa's rising internet penetration and online shopping rates.
Jumia went public via a traditional IPO in 2019. From 2020 to 2024, its revenue only grew at a CAGR of 4% from $140 million to $161 million. Its adjusted EBITDA also remained negative as it racked up more net losses.
Unlike many other e-commerce companies, Jumia didn't experience a growth spurt during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, the health crisis throttled its growth by disrupting its supply chain and logistics networks while curbing consumer spending. The African market also recovered from the pandemic at a slower rate than other higher-growth markets.
From 2024 to 2027, analysts expect its revenue to grow at a three-year CAGR of 7% to $197 million as its adjusted EBITDA stays in the red. But with a market cap of $274 million, Jumia trades at just 1.5 times this year's sales. But if the African market stabilizes, Jumia merely matches analysts' estimates, and it trades at 5 times forward sales by the beginning of 2027, its market cap could grow to $985 million. If its growth accelerates, its valuations could soar even higher as the bulls rush back. Therefore, this little e-commerce underdog also has a shot at overtaking BigBear.ai over the next two years.
Ever feel like you missed the boat in buying the most successful stocks? Then you’ll want to hear this.
On rare occasions, our expert team of analysts issues a “Double Down” stock recommendation for companies that they think are about to pop. If you’re worried you’ve already missed your chance to invest, now is the best time to buy before it’s too late. And the numbers speak for themselves:

MVC4做网站后台:模块管理1、修改模块信息
网站可能会包含一些模块：像文章、产品、图片、留言等。
栏目模块主要实现功能，启用或禁用模块，模块权限设置，模块上传设置等。
权限设置和上传设置以后专门考虑，先来显示或禁用模块。
1、在顶部导航栏添加管理连接
image
打开Home/Header.cshtml，在<nav>添加代码
image
2、添加Module接口
复制代码
using Ninesky.Models;
using System.Linq;
namespace Ninesky.Areas.Admin.Repository
{
/// <summary>
/// 后台管理模块接口
/// <remarks>
/// 版本v1.0
/// 创建2013.12.10
/// </remarks>
/// </summary>
interface InterfaceModule:Ninesky.Repository.InterfaceModule
{
/// <summary>
/// 查找模块
/// </summary>
/// <returns>所有模块列表</returns>
IQueryable<Module> Find();
/// <summary>
/// 修改模块信息
/// </summary>
/// <param name="module">模块</param>
/// <returns>是否修改成功</returns>
bool Modify(Module module);
}
}
复制代码
3、接口实例
复制代码
using Ninesky.Models;
using System.Linq;
namespace Ninesky.Areas.Admin.Repository
{
/// <summary>
/// 模块接口实例
/// <remarks>
/// 版本v1.0
/// 创建2013.12.12
/// </remarks>
/// </summary>
public class ModuleRepository:Ninesky.Repository.ModuleRepository,InterfaceModule
{
public IQueryable<Module> Find()
{
return nContext.Modules;
}
public bool Modify(Module module)
{
nContext.Modules.Attach(module);
nContext.Entry<Module>(module).State = System.Data.EntityState.Modified;
return nContext.SaveChanges() > 0;
}
}
}
复制代码
4、添加控制器ModuleController
首先添加一个实现返回模块列表的action
复制代码
/// <summary>
/// 列表
/// </summary>
/// <param name="enable">启用状态。【0-全部，1-启用，2-禁用】</param>
/// <returns>
/// 普通请求时返回包含强类型List\<Module\>的视图<br />
/// ajax请求返回json类型List\<Module\>
/// </returns>
public ActionResult Items(int id = 0)
{
var _modules = moduleRepository.Find();
if (Request.IsAjaxRequest()) return Json(_modules);
return View(_modules);
}
复制代码
菜单
复制代码
/// <summary>
/// 菜单
/// </summary>
/// <returns></returns>
public ActionResult Menu()
{
return PartialView(moduleRepository.Find());
}
复制代码
菜单视图
复制代码
@model IEnumerable<Ninesky.Models.Module>
<div id="westmenu" class="easyui-accordion">
<div title="模块列表" class="leftsidebar">
<ul>
@foreach(var item in Model){
<li>@Html.ActionLink(item.Name, "Index", "Module", new { id = item.ModuleId }, new { @class = "westmenuitem" })</li>
}
</ul>
</div>
</div>
@*@Scripts.Render("~/Areas/Admin/Scripts/Category.js")*@
<script type="text/javascript">
WestMenu();
</script>
复制代码
模块信息页
复制代码
/// <summary>
/// 模块信息页
/// </summary>
/// <param name="id"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
public ActionResult Index(int id)
{
return PartialView(moduleRepository.Find(id));
}
复制代码
复制代码
@model Ninesky.Models.Module
<div class="c_navbar">后台管理 >> 模块管理 >> 模块信息</div>
<div class="easyui-tabs">
<div title="基本信息">
<div class="fs_wapper">
@using (Html.BeginForm("Modify", "Module", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "module_base" }))
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()
@Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<div class="header">@Html.HiddenFor(model => model.ModuleId)</div>
@Html.ValidationSummary()
<table class="fieldset">
<tr>
<th>@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Name)<span>*</span></th>
<td>@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name, new { disabled = "disabled" })</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Enable)<span>*</span></th>
<td>@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Enable)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Description)
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Model)<span>*</span></th>
<td>@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Model, new { disabled = "disabled" })</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Description)</th>
<td>@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Description)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Description)
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th></th>
<td>
<a id="btn_modulebase_save" class="easyui-linkbutton">保存</a>
</tr>
</table>
}
@Scripts.Render("~/Areas/Admin/Scripts/Module.js")
<script>
ModuleBase_Ready();
</script>
</div>
</div>
<div title="上传设置">……</div>
<div title="权限设置">……</div>
</div>
复制代码
效果图
image
这里上传设置和权限设置以后补充。
5、控制器中添加启用、关闭模块处理action
复制代码
/// <summary>
/// 修改模块信息
/// </summary>
/// <returns></returns>
public ActionResult Modify(int? ModuleId,bool? Enable,string Description)
{
JsonViewModel _jsonViewModel = new JsonViewModel() { Authentication = 0, Success = true };
bool _modifyed = false;
if (ModuleId == null)
{
_jsonViewModel.Success = false;
_jsonViewModel.ValidationList.Add("ModuleId", "模块Id不能为空");
}
if (Enable == null)
{
_jsonViewModel.Success = false;
_jsonViewModel.ValidationList.Add("Enable", "启用状态不能为空");
}
if (_jsonViewModel.Success)
{
var _module = moduleRepository.Find((int)ModuleId);
if (_module == null)
{
_jsonViewModel.Success = false;
_jsonViewModel.Message = "模块存在";
}
else
{
if (_module.Enable != Enable) { _module.Enable = (bool)Enable; _modifyed = true; }
if (_module.Description != Description) { _module.Description = Description; _modifyed = true; }
if (_modifyed)
{
if (moduleRepository.Modify(_module)) { _jsonViewModel.Success = true; _jsonViewModel.Message = "修改模块成功。"; }
else { _jsonViewModel.Success = false; _jsonViewModel.Message = "数据未能保存到数据库"; }
}
else { _jsonViewModel.Success = false; _jsonViewModel.Message = "数据未发生更改"; }
}
}
else _jsonViewModel.Message = "数据验证失败！";
return Json(_jsonViewModel);
}
复制代码
6、模块过滤器
这里写个过滤器，ModuleFilter。命名空间Ninesky.Extensions。作用是加到模块上面，当模块关闭时，前台用户讲不能访问模块内容。
复制代码
using Ninesky.Repository;
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace Ninesky.Extensions
{
/// <summary>
/// 模块过滤器
/// 屏蔽禁用模块
/// <remarks>
/// 版本v1.0
/// 创建2013.12.12
/// </remarks>
/// </summary>
public class ModuleFilter:ActionFilterAttribute
{
/// <summary>
/// 模型名

High tackle
A high tackle is an illegal tackling move in rugby football. A high tackle occurs when a player tackles or attempts to tackle an opponent whereby their arm makes contact with the ball carrier’s chest. The move is dangerous due to the risk of injury to the head and neck of the player being tackled.
Rugby Union
High tackles are illegal in all variations of rugby union play, including sevens variation and tens variation. According to World Rugby laws, "a player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously. Dangerous tackling includes, but is not limited to, tackling or attempting to tackle an opponent above the line of the shoulders even if the tackle starts below the line of the shoulders." A player may receive a range of sanctions in response to an illegal high tackle, ranging from a penalty, yellow card, or red card. As per a 2011 World Rugby memorandum on the topic, "'A player must not tackle (or try to tackle) an opponent above the line of the shoulders even if the tackle starts below the line of the shoulders. A tackle around the opponent’s neck or head is dangerous play.'"Reducing player injuries sustained from high tackles has long been a goal of World Rugby. In May 2019, World Rugby released a decision-making framework for high tackles to assist players and referees in avoiding illegal high tackles and appropriately sanctioning players who commit this infraction. The result of the framework's implementation was a 37% reduction in the number of tackle-related concussion incidents per 1,000 player hours at the 2019 World Cup compared to the previous year, with an overall 28% reduction in concussion incidents.
In August of 2019, World Rugby announced that reducing tackle height to waist level was one of several trial laws under consideration for implementation by the Rugby World Cup in 2023. Under the new rule, any tackle above the waist would now be considered a high tackle. The rationale for this rule change offered by World Rugby is that "forcing players to tackle lower may reduce the risk of head injuries to both the tackler and tackled player," as well as encouraging more offloads and expansive play. Initial trials of this rule change from the Fédération Française de Rugby (FFR) has had positive results, showing that reduction of permissible tackling to waist height reduces the number of head impacts and player injuries.
Rugby League
High tackles are illegal in rugby league play. As per International Rugby League (IRL) laws, a player is guilty of misconduct if they, "when effecting or attempting to effect a tackle makes contact with the head or neck of an opponent intentionally, recklessly or carelessly."
In 2019, the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC), the governing body of the National Rugby League (NRL) cracked down on 'crusher tackles', a particularly dangerous type of high tackle in which a defender forces a player’s head towards their torso in contact. Numerous similar crackdowns on types of dangerous tackles, like high tackles, have occurred in an effort to make the game safer.
A related infraction in rugby league is the shoulder charge, which involves contact to the shoulder or upper arm without an attempt to tackle. A player is guilty of misconduct if they use a shoulder charge, which is defined as when "a defender, without attempting to tackle, grab or hold the ball-carrier (or any opposing player) using the arms or hands, makes direct physical contact with the shoulder or the upper arm (tucked into the side)." | WIKI |

PPTP password cannot contain ~!@#$%^&*()_+ in tomato gui why?
Discussion in 'Tomato Firmware' started by friedgreen, Jan 26, 2014.
1. friedgreen
friedgreen Networkin' Nut Member
All Tomato gui's have an inability to use special characters #$%^etc in the pptp password. Is there any permanent fix for this gui limitation ? Editing the chap-secrets file and inserting those characters between quote symbols fixes this but only until the next reboot.
This has been a long standing bug, and requires a modification of the gui to insert quote symbols into the pptp chap-secrets file.
http://tomatousb.org/forum/t-606065/pptp-password-field-doesn-t-allow-special-characters
2. mstombs
mstombs Network Guru Member
Guess it's because the characters are invalid in nvram vars. Would need a mod author to store the info in coded form, base64 or similar. There is a way to store files in nvram using this encoding - but I suspect the chap-secrets file is regenerated just before use.
3. koitsu
koitsu Network Guru Member
Re: storing the info in an alternate form (base64, md5, etc.) has been discussed. There is a solution but it involves introduction of a second NVRAM variable, which introduces its own set of complexities. Those wondering should read (not skim) the thread as it goes over the problem in detail: http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/why-is-http_passwd-not-stored-with-md5crypt.67389/
TL;DR -- It sounds easy to fix at first but it really isn't. There are many, many edge cases.
As for the OP's issue: there is an NVRAM capability called nvram setfile2nvram which in effect allows you to make certain files "retained" after reboot. This may work for you for your pptp configuration file. Read the thread and the reference materials from Toastman: http://tomatousb.org/forum/t-297838/

Everything You Need To Know On Magnetic Drilling Machine
A magnetic core drilling machine, sometimes known as a magnetic drill press, magnetic drill, magnetic drill, broach cutter machine, portable drilling machine, magnetic base drilling machine, or portable drill, is a machine tool with an electromagnetic base and a cutting tool attachment. It's employed for metal hole drilling.
A core drill, often referred to as an annular cutter or broach cutter and hollow on the inside, is attached to a magnetic drilling machine along with cutting edges on its surface and teeth. In comparison to outdated metal hole-making devices like drill presses, pillar drilling machines, mill drills, geared head drill presses, and others, a portable magnetic core drilling machine is a quicker and more advanced technology.A portable magnetic drill is typically the go-to instrument when you need to drill holes but are unable to bring the task to a machine.
How to use a Magnetic Drilling Machine?
For drilling holes in far-off places, a magnetic drilling machine is a very adaptable and portable tool. When a big task is impossible to transport to a workshop drilling machine, this equipment is perfect. Alternatively, one can drill holes on-site using a lightweight, portable magnetic drilling equipment.
However, there is a limitation with the magnetic drilling machine when it comes to drilling small components where there isn't enough room for the magnet to clamp. The operator must use stationary bench type drilling machinery for tiny part drilling. The issue has been resolved now!
Magnetic Drilling Machine - Advantages
Magnetic drill machines, sometimes referred to as mag drills or magnetic drilling machines, have significant benefits for a range of applications and industries. The following are the main benefits of employing magnetic drilling machines:
Mobility: Due to their lightweight and portable construction, many magnetic drilling machines are ideal for on-site work or other situations where a stationary drill press is impractical. Their portability makes them more useful in isolated or cramped areas.
Flexibility: Metal fabrication, construction, shipbuilding, and other industries can all benefit from the great versatility of magnetic drilling equipment. They are appropriate for a variety of orientations and angles since they have the ability to drill holes in horizontal, vertical, and above positions.
Accuracy and Consistency: When drilling holes, these machines provide excellent precision and accuracy. The holes are neat and precisely positioned because the magnetic base reduces vibrations and guarantees stability. This is critical for industries where hole placement accuracy is critical.
Productivity: The speed and efficiency of magnetic drilling machines are built in. Quick setup and repositioning are made possible by the magnetic base, which minimizes downtime. Fast drilling is made possible by the strong motor and specific cutting tools, which boosts output.
Security: Clamping materials, which are frequently used in traditional drilling procedures, can occasionally be dangerous or cause harm to the workpiece. The magnetic base of magnetic drilling machines firmly holds the machine in place, negating the need for clamping. This lowers the possibility of workpiece distortion and improves operator safety.
Drilling large holes: Using traditional drilling techniques, it may be difficult or impossible to drill large-diameter holes in metal surfaces. However, magnetic drilling machines can accomplish this. This is especially helpful for businesses where some applications call for big holes.
Usability: The ease of use of magnetic drilling machines is a priority in their design. They frequently have ergonomic designs and simple controls, making them usable by both novice users and seasoned operators.
Decreased Material Destruction: There is less chance of overpressurizing or distorting the workpiece when using magnetic drilling machines because they don't need clamping. This is crucial when handling pricey or delicate materials.
Save Money: The efficiency and precision that magnetic drilling machines offer can result in cost savings over time, even if their initial investment may be more than that of traditional drilling techniques. A reduction in labor time, an improvement in productivity, and a reduction in material waste all go toward total cost effectiveness.
Compatibility: Magnetic drilling machines are not constrained to working with any one kind of metal. They are capable of working with many different ferrous materials, such as stainless steel and steel.
Conclusion
In conclusion, magnetic drilling machines are essential instruments in businesses that need precise hole drilling in metal materials because of their ability to combine precision, safety, efficiency, and diversity. Their portability and flexibility to operate in different orientations further increase their usefulness in a variety of applications. If you wish to purchase good quality magnetic drilling machines in the UAE or any part of the Middle East, YES Machinery will be your best choice in terms of quality machines, qualified professionals and excellent after-sales service and good price.

1. Здравствуйте, в самом начале при добавлении плагина id ‘kotlin-kapt’ и библиотеки kapt ‘androidx.room:room-compiler:2.5.1’ синхронизация проходит без ошибок. Но при запуске виртуального устройства всегда выходит ошибка:
“Задача compileDebugJavaWithJavac (текущая цель – 1.8) и задача kaptGenerateStubsDebugKotlin (текущая цель – 17). Целевая совместимость jvm должна быть установлена на одну и ту же версию Java.”
Подскажите пожалуйста, как решить этот вопрос с совместимостью?

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (October 2, 1869-January 30, 1948)
Who was Gandhi?
Why should we remember him 60 years after his death?
An Indian leader, their Moses, the Indian George Washington, the man who lead India to independence and liberated the Indians from Britain’s oppressive rule to political freedom. Gandhi is still identified as the father of the nation in India.
If we look at what he did in an historical perspective, it may be said that he was the first person, or almost the first in Asia or Africa who dared stand against “white” oppressive rule and demand the honor and rights of dark-skinned people.
He was a pioneer of the awakening and liberation of Asia and Africa, which led to the almost total disappearance of colonialism, at least in its older meaning, from the map of the world.
Gandhi belongs not only to India, he is a world figure, a man who belongs to all of us, and his words should be heard and embraced by the entire world. In his special way, Gandhi is a friend of all human beings on earth.
Gandhi was born a Hindu, but during his life he couldn’t accept Hinduism as way it was, all of its ideas and principles, because some of them contradicted the ideas of equality to which he devoted his life.
It never occurred to him for a moment to leave Hinduism. However, due to his great love for it and for every living creature in the world, his innovative ideas about true equality and the power of love, he created a new religion, based almost entirely on the powerful ideas of Hinduism with the addition of his own ideas, which strengthened the combination and created a completely new thing, indestructible, perfect and eternal.
When the news of his death spread around the world, people from distant countries, places he had never been, people who never saw or heard his voice cried in the streets. These were simple people and they cried because they knew they had lost a friend.
Because even when he was a world-renowned leader, he never changed his simple ways, his
meager attire and he was accessible to everyone.
At the end of his life, when offered to head India, he refused and continued to live without an income.
He identified with the simple people as much as humanly possible.
Until the day he was murdered, success did not corrupt him and did not change the way he thought or his pure simple ways which have influenced in no small measure the way the world looks today.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was an Indian political and spiritual leader, who led the Indian independence movement in its struggle against British imperial rule.
He is also considered a symbol of non-violent resistance through the articulation and application of Satyagraha, a philosophy focused on the search for truth and resistance to evil through non-violent active resistance, which led to India's independence and inspired various human rights and freedom movements around the world.
Gandhi’s life story demonstrates his efforts in actual practice, to implement moral unity in his life.
According to Gandhi, his nutrition, political behavior, the way he related to friends and foe, his relations to his people and to strangers, his behavior at home and outside the home – these are all subject to one moral consideration at whose center is Ahimsa ("nonviolence").
More than being a built-in imperative, the nonviolence that engages Gandhi is a field of research, experimentation and discovery. The internal voice wishes to illuminate and clarify what the path of nonviolence is at every step of our lives.
It is not, therefore, a known recipe or prescription, but a single question that is asked seemingly at all levels, in all spheres and in all areas of human life.
Gandhi is one of the most admired figures of all the leaders of the 20th century.
He is known in India and the world as Mahatma Gandhi (“Mahatma” in Sanskrit means “the Great Spirit”, a name given him by the poet Rabindranath Tagore).
In India he is also called Bapu (“father” in Gujarati). He is officially considered the father of the Indian nation and his birthday, October 2, is observed as an Indian national holiday each year called "Gandhi Jayanti".
On June 15, 2007, the General Assembly of the United Nations declared October 2 the International Day of Nonviolence.
Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869 to a Hindu family in the city of Porbandar.
His family belonged to "Moda" – A famous merchant community originating in the city of Modhara in Gujarat. His father was Karamchand Gandhi Sr., who was the Prime Minister of the Porbandar principality which is part of the state of Gujarat today.
His mother, Putilbai was Karamchand’s forth wife, and a member of the Pranami Vaishnava Order. Karamchand's first two wives, each of whom gave birth to a daughter, died of unknown causes. Gandhi, who grew up with a devoted mother and under the influence of Gujarat Jainism, learned from an early age the beliefs about not harming living things, vegetarianism, fasting for purity, and mutual tolerance between members of different faiths and castes. Gandhi and his family were members of the Huishia Caste (Caste of Dealers and Artists).
In May 1883, at the age of 13, his parents married him to Kasturbai Makhanji, with whom he had five sons. The oldest of them died in infancy; Harilal Gandhi was born in 1888; Manilal Gandhi was born in 1892; Ramdas Gandhi was born in 1897 and Devas Gandhi was born in 1900. Later, Mohandas Gandhi disowned his eldest son, Harilal, for his debauchery.
When he was 18, Gandhi was sent to England to study law, there for the first time, he met people who were not Hindus. Living in England aroused his desire to learn about his religion and customs in depth.
He encountered difficulties in maintaining the customs and lifestyles to which he was accustomed, among them vegetarianism.
After completing his studies, Gandhi was sent to Africa, where for the first time he applied non-violent civil disobedience in the struggle of the Indian community for civil rights in South Africa.
When he returned to India from Africa, he organized protests of peasants and poor workers against oppressive taxation and widespread discrimination.
After being appointed as head of the Indian National Congress, Gandhi led national campaigns to alleviate poverty, liberate women, for solidarity between different religions and ethnic groups, to end the discrimination against castes in general and the “untouchables” in particular, and for economic independence for India.
Beyond all these struggles, he fought for “Swaraj” Indian independence from foreign occupation.
Gandhi led the Indian nation in civil disobedience against the salt tax, which was instituted in India, and in 1930 he led “Gandhi’s Salt March” in which he walked 400 kilometers.
In 1942, he publicly called for the British to leave India.
He was imprisoned for many years following many arrests both in South Africa and in India.
Gandhi applied and advocated for truth and nonviolence in every situation. He lived a simple life and organized an ashram which was financially viable on its own.
He made his own clothes – the traditional Indian Dahuti and cape which he spun and wove using his own spindle. He ate simple vegetarian food and later a diet of fruit.
He fasted for long periods of time (sometimes more than a month) both for self-purification and as an act of protest. Gandhi was murdered on January 30, 1948 by a Hindu assassin, who opposed his agreement to pay considerable reparations to Pakistan, as the British had advised, claiming that it would weaken the Hindus.
His body was burned, and the ashes were spread over the world’s rivers. Some of Gandhi’s ashes were buried in California and a monument was erected there in his memory.
Hinduism and Gandhi
Throughout his life, Gandhi absorbed something from all of his travels in the world and his acquaintance with other religions.
From the West which was so free and different from India in its ideas and ways of life which sometimes seemed puzzling, promiscuous and obscure, such as eating meat, drinking liquor and wearing valuable garments, through Islam and its ideas which were so different from Hinduism.
Gandhi walked through life barefoot, through various and different paths known to him in India, he collected stones along the way, gathered branches and ideas from anything new he met on the way, and almost always saw the good in everything he passed.
During his life, Gandhi actually founded a new religion, but when asked in 1931, what is his religion, he replied that he is a Hindu.
For him it was the religion of all mankind and it brought together within it the best of all the religions known to him. He was guided by this religion, by love and truth.
Gandhi saw himself as Hindi.
For Gandhi, the sanctity of the cow was one of the most important things for humanity, a central and significant idea in Hinduism. He viewed the cow as a symbol of all the weak creatures that God created.
According to him, a person who takes pity on a cow, an incredibly gentle animal, will also pity and protect weak human beings. Protecting the cow is a gift of the Hindu religion to the world.
The way to protect cows, he say is to die protecting them, but it is forbidden to kill another person for this purpose.
One can see that the idea of the sanctity of the cow according to Gandhi, is a symbol of protecting the weak, and of equality between all human beings regardless of race, gender or religion. This became an important part of his new teachings, which he took from the traditional Hindu religion.
Gandhi compared the Hindu religion to his wife: she motivates him as no other woman in the world can, and although she has disadvantages, and there are doubtless many which he himself sees, however there is an eternal connection between them that can never be broken.
Additionally, almost all of his ideas and the spirit in which his teachings about nonviolence were formed, are taken from Hinduism, in which he grew up and was educated, and its influence upon him was enormous.
While he was in England for the first time, he found himself exposed to other customs, which were in stark contrast to Hinduism, and he did not think for a moment to abandon it.
For him Hinduism is the heart which beats inside the new body he built himself. Without the heart, the body is worthless, and without the body, the heart cannot exist.
This is the way he viewed his new teachings, as an inseparable combination of Hinduism as he knew it and his new ideas, that even if they were different from Hinduism, they did not contradict it, since it is open to accepting any belief and path of any person.
Gandhi's Neo Hinduism
Gandhi is known as having studied many religions deeply.
The writings of Jainism, The New Testament and Lev Tolstoy's sociological writings are three of the main sources of his ideas on nonviolence, whose sources are drawn from the intellectual, philosophical and political knowledge of the West.
The presence of Western culture in India, which began with the Portuguese penetration into India in the 16th century and its consolidation with British domination in the 18th century, had an unprecedented influence on the history of the subcontinent. It was a multi-dimensional presence, which created deep inferiority in the heart of the Indians and created a challenge of adjustment of unknown magnitude.
In the opinion of credible researchers, Hindu society (and the Brahman elite within it) did not appreciate contact with foreign peoples and cultures outside of the borders of the subcontinent. The Indians did not follow distant nations and did not strive to learn foreign languages. It is possible that the enormous variety of experience and creativity in many languages and spiritual currents, within the Hindu entirety itself, created a spiritual climate which was deeply satiated that made contact with foreigners unnecessary. The modern Western presence, which included advanced technology, bureaucratic management etc, produced an almost traumatic shock among the various layers of Indian society.
The English Governor of Bengal, The Duke of Ronaldshai, wrote:
"In the middle of the 19th century there already was complete intellectual anarchy. This anarchy swept the younger generation like a ship torn from the dock in a storm.
Westernism became the leading fashion, and it demanded of its followers that they completely reject their own culture.
The more the young people admired the West, the more they rejected the East. They began to have contempt for learning the ancient knowledge, and the customs and traditions were pushed aside.
The ancient religion was declared a collection of superstitions. The traditional foundations of Hindu society were completely undermined…."
It was a kind of trauma which was expressed in every sphere of life in India. While the history of the subcontinent is full of invasions and conquests (especially by Muslim invaders), on the Indian side there was generally a large measure of adaptation to the foreign presence, which became assimilated into local culture.
It seems that the contact with Western culture created a new unprecedented situation.
The spiritual trend known as "Neo-Hinduism" encompasses a wide variety of phenomena and personages over the last two hundred years.
There is no doubt that the new Hinduism in all its forms is decidedly the result of contact with the West. It is a creative adaptation that has dozens and hundreds of spiritual, social and political varieties.
The West itself opened up to a great extent to the power and potential of Hinduism which became accessible in India from the beginning of the 19th century.
Here we should remember the wonderful story of the decapitation of Vishnu in the Dharmic field called Kurukshetra. Both deities had horse heads, and they suggested to the great teacher Dadyanesh to cut off his head and to put the horse head on himself (which would be cut off again, by the deity Indra).
In the ancient story from the "Brahmana of the Thousand Paths", the horse head is the head capable of transmitting the big secret to the ַAshwinis , who have horse heads.
Hence, there are great secrets that cannot be transmitted without a dramatic surgical process (like decapitation).
In a way, Neo-Hinduism is the horse head of the ancient Indian culture, that is the horse head from whose mouth we can learn something about the secrets of ancient Hinduism.
Some of the most prominent intellectuals of the 20th century (Rabindranath Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi, Ramana Maharishi, Urubindu, Radhakrishnan, Krishnamurti, and others) are an expression of the communicative ability of the new Hinduism. Among the researchers there are sometimes disagreements about the authenticity of Neo-Hinduism.
Some believe that this is a deep phenomenon of synthesis that may save the human race (and the West in particular), while others claim that it is a shallow adaptation that has no real substance.
The latter believe that globalization has gone too far and swallowed all cultural and spiritual foreignness, and there is no way to copy ancient Hinduism into the new and destructive technological context.
There are millions of Indians who do not belong to any caste. They have the lowest status, and they are called by many names: "casteless", "untouchables" or "impure".
In the past they were forbidden to drink water from the well from which the other people in the village drank or even to talk next to people from other castes, and their children were forbidden to go to school.
Already in his childhood Gandhi was disgusted with this Hindu custom. When in his childhood he had such a friend, his parents forbade him to have any contact with him or be friends with him, Gandhi thought it did not make sense, and that it was not possible that accidental contact that happened by chance would be considered a sin.
He thought that his friend was a human being like everyone else, and since this division among humans does not exist for God, it should not exist for us.
He said that he could never accept such a prohibition, despite the fact that this belief had been transmitted for generations in Hinduism. He said that there are also other cruel and evil beliefs and deeds, which have been transmitted through the generations, but that does not mean that he or anyone else must accept them.
For example, sacrificing girls to prostitution is not a tradition that Hinduism teaches, although the custom is very common in certain areas of India. As is sacrificing goats to the God "Kali". Animal sacrifice was unthinkable to Gandhi and therefore he did not see it as part of the Hindu religion.
In his opinion, the Hindu religion is a religion which was developing with time, although there is no doubt that there was a time when animal sacrifice was accepted in Hinduism, that is not the religion itself.
In 1931, Gandhi said that he did not believe in castes in the modern world. He said that the castes are like a disability which hinders development. He, as a man who believes in complete equality between human beings, cannot accept the superiority of one group over another, and in his view, it is a sin against God and all of humanity.
In his view the division between castes was pure evil, and no person can claim superiority over another. He said that the prohibition of sitting together at a table or of marriage between castes is not relevant, and it does not mean that someone lowers his status if he marries a woman from an "inferior" caste, and it does not reduce his status.
He thought that each caste had a different and unique characteristic, with which it serves God, but the bottom line is everyone serves God.
The Brahmans, with their knowledge, the soldiers with their physical prowess and power to defend, the merchants, with their commercial abilities, and the laborers with their physical labor.
But that does not mean that the Brahmans, for instance are exempt from physical labor, or that a man from the laborer’s caste does not have the right to acquire all the knowledge his soul desires.
In the future, Gandhi would fight the custom of “prohibition of touching” and for the abolition of castes. Gandhi said that Hinduism was in danger of losing believers if it continued to occupy itself with the letter of the law and ”who sits at the table”.
Here we can already see that Gandhi, despite his young age was already using the logic of truth and equality even if that meant raising doubts about early Hindu customs which were self-evident to the rest of the Hindus.
Gandhi became acquainted with other religions from the age of 13, when he went with his family to Rajkot, where he was privileged to learn the fundamentals of tolerance for all of the branches of Hinduism and other religions.
His father had Muslim and Persian friends with whom he spoke about art, and the young Gandhi would listen to the conversations. He found a place in his heart for what he had heard, and he integrated it within himself and this planted the seeds of tolerance for all religions. All except Christianity, with which Gandhi had unpleasant encounters with radical preachers in the streets and stories of Hindus who converted to Christianity who had to eat meat and drink intoxicating beverages.
Gandhi learned about religions at this young age and he was tolerant towards all of them, but later on he wrote that despite his acquaintance with many religions, his spirit tended towards atheism, but one thing struck roots: the belief that morality is the basis for all things, and that truth is the essence of all morality.
Truth became his sole goal.
During his stay in England where he studied law, Gandhi met a Christian from Manchester.
After they had talked and Gandhi told him about his bitter experience with Christianity, the man explained to him that the holy scripture does not command eating meat or drinking liquor and that he himself is a vegetarian and abstained from liquor. In addition, he asked Gandhi to read the Bible, and Gandhi agreed.
Gandhi did not particularly like the Bible, but the New Testament was another matter, and he eagerly read it. He even compared it to the “Gita”, which Gandhi called “The Book”.
This stimulated him to get to know other religions and thus he deepened his acquaintance with other religious writings. Some years later, a Christian friend brought him to the “Wellington Conference”, a conference which lasted three days for devout Christians whose goal was religious purification. There Gandhi read additional Christian writings, spoke with members of the conference, deepened his acquaintance with Christianity and was enchanted with it.
Despite that and despite the fact that Gandhi saw some truth in Christianity, he could not accept it as the most perfect or sublime religion, but he couldn’t accept Hinduism as such either.
Certain aspects of Hinduism, such as the attitude towards the impure, the division of people by castes, he found onerous. He thought that if the Hindu holy scriptures were inspired by God, then it is possible to believe that the Bible and the Quran were as well.
Like his Christian friends who tried to convert him, his Muslim friends tried as well.
Gandhi worked for the unity of Hindus and Muslims, which he knew would not be easy. His connections with his Muslim brothers were strengthened and at a certain time, he succeeded in convincing the Hindus and the Muslims to fast together during Ramadan.
He presented the idea of nonviolence to the Indian Muslims.
Gandhi, as a politician, enthusiastically joined the demands of the Caliphate of the Muslims, in which there was nothing that conflicted with the principles he preached. The Caliphate movement was a Pan-Islamic movement that stirred millions of Muslims in Indian and was outstanding in its anti-British orientation.
Gandhi viewed the Caliphate as an opening to strengthen Indian unity and to secure the hearts and trust of the Muslims and he included the Caliphate in the main program of his movement.
Gandhi preached against a “barbaric” struggle with firearms. However, at the same time, he acknowledged that “the Muslims have obligations from the Quran which the Hindus can join or not (meaning the obligation of “holy war”) and therefore, in case the movement of non-cooperation for nonviolence should not succeed – they have the right to use all the “methods permitted by Muslim holy scriptures” and it was clear to all what those “permitted methods” were and how little they had in common with Gandhi’s theory.
When he was in India the second time, Gandhi worked for the release of the Ali brothers, Muslim brothers who were imprisoned for their activities for the Caliphate.
Gandhi’s goal was to achieve their release with the aid of the cooperation and support of Hindu Indians rather than Muslims, because that would greatly advance Hindu Muslim unity.
Gandhi saw himself as Hindu, but he had reservations as to the religious customs, and it is clear that the West and other religions had an influence upon him.
What stands out in this context is that he did not rule out the worship of statues. He said that he did not oppose the admiration of objects.
He himself was not enthusiastic about it and did not do so, but he did not consider it improper, and thought it was part of human nature. We pursue symbols, and they are aids to worshiping God.
He was of the opinion that no Hindu considered the statue as God himself, and the Hindus do not need to view the worship of statues as a sin.
He thought that Hinduism was not an exclusive religion and it had room for everyone, of every belief and religion, even those who worship statues.
The Hindu religion invites everyone to worship God in his own way, and lives in peace with every way of worshiping God.
Gandhi read about Islam, deepened his understanding of the Quran, and wrote that from his deepening acquaintance with Christianity and Islam, his respect for the Hindu religion grew stronger, but at the same time he did not develop prejudices against other religions, but found in them all a measure of truth, and through that he came to understood the enormous possibility within “universal love”. He believed in a “religion of service”.
His acquaintance with other religions did not push any of them aside, on the contrary, they were integrated in his consciousness into one wonderful religion, which contained the best of all worlds.
We see that Gandhi gathers beliefs and customs from the Hindu religion, leaves a few principles behind, adds new ideas of equality which he clearly absorbed from the West, and from this combination his fascinating teachings was formed which contains the best of Hinduism and integrates within it enlightened ideas from the West.
The idea of nonviolence, as is the story of India’s struggle for independence, are connected to Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.
Gandhi’s greatness in this doctrine of nonviolence was not in revealing this principle, many in all generations preceded him, but the fact that he was the first to use it on a mass scale.
Gandhi, unlike his predecessors, saw nonviolence not just as a path for virtuous individuals. He turned it into an idea for the masses. He forged the method of nonviolence as a method of struggle, as a dynamic method, as a political weapon, as a revolutionary tactic.
At the center of his unique approach was the concept of "Ahimsa" which Gandhi took from the Indian tradition, a concept in ancient Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, and he integrated it as a central foundation in his concept of Satyagraha which literally means “holding on to the truth”.
It tried to encompass in its principles the common truth of all religions and all humanistic thought. It tried to offer a solution in its method of dealing with the central problems of social and human existence.
“Ahimsa” or Ahinsa, is a religious rule that is customary in Indian society as a whole, which speaks of nonviolence in the sense of avoiding any harm, in thought and deed, towards all parts of the world.
It is not only passive avoidance but rather avoidance of violence and an active struggle against the manifestation of violence. The philosophic holistic idea of Ahimsa states that God is everywhere and therefore in very living creature as well and man is forbidden from harming the harmonious order of the world.
Ahimsa is expressed in the movement of energy currents from within to without, and thus you influence anybody who interacts with you. It strengthens the boundless Upanishadic self, and the principle of the spread of consciousness. The internal field is strengthened, and compassion and love flow out.
Celibacy also entered the movement for nonviolence with Gandhi, since he viewed sexual passion as a violent manifestation and an expression of weakness. His line of thought was that solidarity with all living creatures is an expression of the truth.
Nevertheless, Gandhi initially supported entering the First World War, alongside the British, saying that just as a mouse cannot be non-violent towards a cat, so is their situation. He also claimed that in order to achieve a condition of nonviolence, man must first learn to be violent.
Ahimsa as the active state of love and doing good. The intention is not to encourage evil (turning the other cheek from the Christian tradition), but rather passive resistance stemming from love.
“Satyagraha” “Satya” is a Sanskrit word meaning “truth”. The root “graha” means “holding tightly”. The self-purification that Gandhi adopted was a preparation for Satyagraha, and so were all the events in his life.
The principle of Satyagraha was born before its name was invented, when it was born there was no word for it.
The concept “passive resistance” which was used to describe it, was too narrow, and it was possible to interpret it as hatred, which was out of the question.
Gandhi had to re-explain what the true nature of the Hindu movement was. The concept Satyagraha was coined by Manilal Gandhi.
Gandhi described the concept in the following way:
“The root meaning is to hold tightly, thence the power of truth. I also called it the power of love or the power of the soul. Applying Satyagraha, I discovered in the early stages that the pursuit of the truth does not allow using violence against an adversary but rather to wean him from his error through patience and sympathy. After all what looks like the truth to one may seem mistaken to another. Tolerance means self-suffering.
Thus the meaning of the doctrine is justifying or proving the truth, not by making the adversary suffer, but yourself.”
An example of Satyagraha according to Gandhi:
Kasturbai, Gandhi’s wife, was mortally ill, on the verge of death many times. One of those times, Gandhi tried to dissuade her from eating salt and legumes, for those who are physically weak should avoid those foods.
She did not agree, despite his many pleas. She said she would not stop, because he himself could not give them up even if his life depended on it.
Gandhi replied that he swore to stop eating legumes and salt from this moment on. His wife pleaded with him that he recant, and that she would stop eating those foods from now on.
In the end, Gandhi could not take back his oath, and did not eat these foods for a year, and his wife as well, who gave up trying to dissuade him to recant.
This is a wonderful example of Satyagraha, of how the power of love and self-suffering can convince someone of his error better than physical strength.
Liberation According to Gandhi
For Gandhi liberation was not only physical independence from British rule, but rather true spiritual liberation that comes from the understanding of the Indians and the English that they must liberate India from oppressive rule and allow everyone to live as they wish. To better understand what liberation is for Gandhi, let's look at his behavior while England fought in World War I.
Gandhi went to England two days after the war broke out and understood that he must help the English. He preached to young Indians living in England to join England’s war effort, which seemed strange, since Gandhi dedicated his life to the liberation of India from British rule.
Indeed, the response of the young Indians in England was that the British are the enemy, they are the Lords, while the Indians are slaves and when the Lord is in distress, it would not occur to the slave to help him, and it would be smarter to use the weak situation of the Lord to liberate himself from his chains.
Gandhi did not view the situation that way at all. In his view the chains were not physical, but conceptual, and physical liberation would not be valuable without a joint understanding by both sides that India must be independent.
His reply to these young Indians was that their obligation as Indians was to help the British in their hour of need, and by fighting alongside the English and supporting them, the Indians would be able, through the power of love, to improve their position and only this way would they achieve true liberation.
We see how his new Neo-Hindu ideas are expressed and we see here the seed of his teachings, and what true liberation was in Gandhi’s opinion. When the strongman who controlled him was in distress, he did not use it for the liberation of India, since this was not the liberation that Gandhi was seeking, because it did not come from love, it came from power and the exploitation of the other’s distress. He thought that it was India’s obligation to stand beside England in its time of distress, and thus they would bring true liberation from the English.
The realization of the goal, independence, was for him a continuous way of life, which demanded personal spiritual work and personal responsibility of the individual.
Therefore, receiving independence and the establishment of the Indian state in 1947 were in his view, one step on the long path to independence and freedom, and indeed he did not get carried away with euphoria and did not rest on his laurels in light of this event.
We saw how at the end of the day, Gandhi identified himself as a Hindi, lived as a Hindi, but did not blindly accept all the Hindu principles, and he built for himself throughout his life, a new, more modern philosophy.
Despite his opposition to Western modernism and a licentious way of life, it is impossible not to see the undeniable influence of the West on Gandhi and his thought, which developed with his travels through the world and his acquaintance with new religions which other Hindus would never think of accepting or adopting as part of the Hindu religion.
In Gandhi’s opinion, the Hindu religion was an infinite pure entity that could contain all that was good, no matter where it came from, but could not contain evil of any kind, so it had to be blotted out immediately, even if the evil came from the Hindu religion itself, such as the caste system.
Gandhi claimed that there is no barrier that cannot be crossed between East and West. Western people, before they were influenced by modernization had a lot in common with India.
The West and the East, in his view, could truly meet if the West would put modernism aside almost entirely, and if the East would adopt some of it.
The question of Gandhi’s teachings has stood in the center of intense debates among historians from the years of India's struggle for independence and years after his death.
Many British viewed him as a cynical politician who used nonviolence in order to achieve political advantage. Winston Churchill for example claimed that “Gandhi was an Indian Fakir who fasted to death many times but for some reason did not die.”
It is likely that the principle of nonviolence also stemmed from the understanding that the path to India's independence passed through public opinion in London and that they would show greater sympathy for independence if Indians engaged in a nonviolent struggle.
It seems to me that having only a utilitarian view, ignoring Gandhi's sincerity and the exemplary life he led and his spirit of sacrifice, is shortsighted.
Gandhi believed in nonviolence as an ideal and a path for humanity, but he was not only a religious man.
He was also a politician, and as such he considered and used tactics and took steps that were just on their own, but he gave explanations that had nothing to do with the considerations he prescribed.
There is no doubt that Gandhi was one of the most influential figures in history. Today his view of liberation is seen by many as obvious, the release of physical oppression through love and nonviolence, once thought to be totally illogical, but today this idea is pretty obvious and is implemented by masses around the world.
There was no one like him in all of history in my opinion who walked his path so stubbornly, barefoot, almost naked and terribly skinny despite his political, and social position. He did not exalt himself but on the contrary, saw himself as one of the people, and it never occurred to him that his status and wealth should grow because of his great political power, rather especially in this situation, he needed to guard himself, after all that was the heart of his philosophy: simplicity and equality.

Handling HTML Element Events
The HTMLElementEvents2 interface is an event sink interface that enables an application to receive events for HTML elements. Your custom application can receive these events, which are fired in response to user actions on HTML elements, when hosting the WebBrowser Control or automating Windows Internet Explorer.
The HTMLElementEvents2 interface is introduced and the steps required to receive notification of HTML element events from the browser are described, using Microsoft Visual Studio 5 or later.
It is assumed that a Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) application is hosting the WebBrowser Control, or launching Internet Explorer.
This article is divided into the following sections.
Accessing the DHTML Object Model
The IWebBrowser2::Navigate2 method of the IWebBrowser2 interface allows you to navigate the browser to a URL. Once an HTML page is loaded, you can access the HTML elements through the Dynamic HTML (DHTML) Object Model.
The DHTML Object Model is used to access and manipulate the contents of an HTML page and is not available until the page is loaded. Your application determines that the page is loaded by handling the DWebBrowserEvents2::DocumentComplete event of the WebBrowser Control. This event may be fired once for each frame in the page, and once when the top frame of the document is loaded. You can determine if the DWebBrowserEvents2::DocumentComplete event is for the top frame by comparing the IDispatch interface pointer passed by this event with that of the WebBrowser Control.
This sample handler code for the DWebBrowserEvents2::DocumentComplete event demonstrates how to determine if this event is for the top frame, which indicates that the HTML page has loaded. This sample also demonstrates how to create a stream from a block of memory—in this case a string that contains the HTML content to be displayed. The variable m_pBrowser contains the IWebBrowser2 interface pointer obtained from the WebBrowser Control.
void CMyClass::DocumentComplete(LPDISPATCH pDisp, VARIANT* URL)
{
HRESULT hr;
IUnknown* pUnkBrowser = NULL;
IUnknown* pUnkDisp = NULL;
IDispatch* pDocDisp = NULL;
IHTMLDocument2* pDoc = NULL;
// Is this the DocumentComplete event for the top frame window?
// Check COM identity: compare IUnknown interface pointers.
hr = m_pBrowser->QueryInterface(IID_IUnknown, (void**)&pUnkBrowser);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
hr = pDisp->QueryInterface(IID_IUnknown, (void**)&pUnkDisp);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
if (pUnkBrowser == pUnkDisp)
{
// This is the DocumentComplete event for the top frame.
// This page is loaded, so we can access the DHTML Object Model.
hr = m_pBrowser->get_Document(&pDocDisp);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
// Obtained the document object.
pDocDisp->QueryInterface(IID_IHTMLDocument2, (void**)&pDoc);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
// Obtained the IHTMLDocument2 interface for the document object
ProcessDocument(pDoc);
}
pDocDisp->Release();
}
}
pUnkDisp->Release();
}
pUnkBrowser->Release();
}
}
The IWebBrowser2::get_Document property on the WebBrowser Control retrieves the document object that represents the DHTML Object Model for the top frame.
Accessing an Element on the Page
Using the IHTMLDocument2 interface pointer, you can request a collection of all elements in the HTML document through the IHTMLDocument2::all property.
void CMyClass::ProcessDocument(IHTMLDocument2* pDoc)
{
IHTMLElementCollection* pElemColl = NULL;
hr = pDoc->get_all(&pElemColl);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
// Obtained element collection.
ProcessElementCollection(pElemColl);
pElemColl->Release();
}
}
The IHTMLDocument2::all property returns a collection of all the HTML elements on the page through an IHTMLElementCollection interface pointer. You can use the IHTMLElementCollection interface to call the item method and pass the name or IHTMLElement::id of an element as a parameter, as shown in the following code.
Note The item method will return a collection if there is more than one element with the specified name or IHTMLElement::id. To prevent a collection from being returned, provide an index as the second parameter of item to specify which element should be returned.
void CMyClass::ProcessElementCollection(IHTMLElementCollection* pElemColl)
{
IDispatch* pElemDisp = NULL;
IHTMLElement* pElem = NULL;
_variant_t varID("myID", VT_BSTR);
_variant_t varIdx(0, VT_I4);
hr = pElemColl->item(varID, varIdx, &pElemDisp);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
hr = pElemDisp->QueryInterface(IID_IHTMLElement, (void**)&pElem);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
// Obtained element with ID of "myID".
ConnectEvents(pElem);
pElem->Release();
}
pElemDisp->Release();
}
}
If you are working with HTML tags of a specific type, such as a tags, the IHTMLElementCollection::tags method returns a collection of all the elements that have the requested HTML tag name, also through an IHTMLElementCollection interface pointer.
Receiving Element Events
Each element in the DHTML Object Model supports an outgoing HTMLElementEvents2 interface. This interface defines the events that an HTML element can fire. You implement this interface to provide an event sink, which is a Component Object Model (COM) object that implements an outgoing interface and is used as the mechanism for firing events.
Note Interfaces implemented by a server usually have their methods called by the client, but to fire an event, the server calls the respective method on the client event sink. These interface are called outgoing interfaces. A COM object that implements an outgoing interface is also known as a connectable object.
The following steps are required to receive events from an outgoing interface:
1. Implement the event sink.
The event sink implements the appropriate outgoing interface and methods. Internet Explorer event interfaces are dispinterfaces, so calls to event methods are made through IDispatch::Invoke. This means that you only need to implement the IDispatch interface to handle events.
2. Determine if the server is a connectable object.
Call QueryInterface to retrieve a pointer to the IConnectionPointContainer interface.
3. Find the appropriate connection point.
Call the IConnectionPointContainer::FindConnectionPoint method to find the connection point you need. For Internet Explorer WebBrowser Control events, such as DWebBrowserEvents2::DocumentComplete, this is DWebBrowserEvents2. For element events, this is HTMLElementEvents2. You can also call the IConnectionPointContainer::EnumConnectionPoints to enumerate through all the connection points a server supports.
4. Advise the connection point that you want to receive events.
Using the IConnectionPoint interface pointer returned in the previous step, call IConnectionPoint::Advise, passing the IUnknown interface pointer of your event sink.
Note The connectable object will use the IUnknown interface pointer to query the client for the event sink interface. If the event sink does not support the outgoing interface, Internet Explorer will query the client for the IDispatch interface.
5. When you no longer want to receive events, you can call the IConnectionPoint::Unadvise method, passing the cookie you received from the call to IConnectionPoint::Advise.
The following sample code demonstrates how to begin receiving HTML element events for an element on an HTML page.
void CMyClass::ConnectEvents(IHTMLElement* pElem)
{
HRESULT hr;
IConnectionPointContainer* pCPC = NULL;
IConnectionPoint* pCP = NULL;
DWORD dwCookie;
// Check that this is a connectable object.
hr = pElem->QueryInterface(IID_IConnectionPointContainer, (void**)&pCPC);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
// Find the connection point.
hr = pCPC->FindConnectionPoint(DIID_HTMLElementEvents2, &pCP);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
// Advise the connection point.
// pUnk is the IUnknown interface pointer for your event sink
hr = pCP->Advise(pUnk, &dwCookie);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
// Successfully advised
}
pCP->Release();
}
pCPC->Release();
}
}
The following sample code demonstrates how you would detect the firing of an HTMLElementEvents2::onclick event in your implementation of IDispatch::Invoke.
STDMETHODIMP CEventSink::Invoke(DISPID dispidMember,
REFIID riid,
LCID lcid,
WORD wFlags,
DISPPARAMS* pdispparams,
VARIANT* pvarResult,
EXCEPINFO* pexcepinfo,
UINT* puArgErr)
{
switch (dispidMember)
{
case DISPID_HTMLELEMENTEVENTS2_ONCLICK:
OnClick();
break;
default:
break;
}
return S_OK;
}
Handling Events using MFC
• The MFC CCmdTarget class implements the IDispatch interface, which means that any class derived from this class can implement an event sink. The IDispatch feature requires a call to the CCmdTarget::EnableAutomation method.
• The MFC AfxConnectionAdvise and AfxConnectionUnadvise functions find a specified connection point and then advise or unadvise appropriately.
• The DECLARE_DISPATCH_MAP, BEGIN_DISPATCH_MAP, DISP_FUNCTION, DISP_FUNCTION_ID and END_DISPATCH_MAP macros are used to map each event method to your event handler function.
• When handling events from a Microsoft ActiveX control you are hosting in your MFC applications, use the DECLARE_EVENTSINK_MAP, BEGIN_EVENTSINK_MAP, ON_EVENT and END_EVENTSINK_MAP macros.
• If you are hosting the WebBrowser Control on a dialog box, you can use the Microsoft Visual C++ ClassWizard to map events to event handlers.
• The MFC CHtmlView class hosts the WebBrowser Control and provides overridable methods for the WebBrowser Control events.
Handling Events using ATL
• When implementing an event sink using the Active Template Library (ATL), your object class will usually derive from the IDispatchImpl class, which provides a default implementation of the IDispatch interface. You can the override the ATL implementation of the IDispatch::Invoke method to handle events.
• ATL provides two helper functions, AtlAdvise and AtlUnadvise, for advising and unadvising a connection point. These find a specified connection point and then advise or unadvise appropriately.
• You can also use the ATL IDispEventImpl and IDispEventSimpleImpl classes and BEGIN_SINK_MAP, SINK_ENTRY, SINK_ENTRY_EX and END_SINK_MAP macros to implement an event sink. If you need to host the WebBrowser Control, you can use the ATL Object Wizard to create an HTML object.

I have a Drupal 7 site that needs to update the contents of a number of nodes once a day, pulling new data from a SOAP service running on an IIS server. And there is what appears to me to be a very strange problem with it.
I have a test script, that does not run inside of Drupal, that connects to the SOAP service like this:
<?php
$wsdl
= 'http://foo.state.us/SpecService.WS/SpecServiceDA.asmx?WSDL';
$soap_client = new SoapClient($wsdl);
?>
This script works fine. Inside my Drupal module, I have code that connects to the same service like this:
<?php
$wsdl
= variable_get_value('spec_service_url');
$soap_client = new SoapClient($wsdl);
?>
This code generates a 405 error, with the IIS server log reporting:
Exception information:
Exception type: HttpException
Exception message: Request format is unrecognized.
Both the test script and the Drupal site are running on the same server, under the same virtual host. I've checked the value of $wsdl and it matches that in the text script. I've also tried simply using the string, with the same result.
Now for the very strange part:
If I run the test script once, the module code then works fine for a time ranging from a few hours to a few weeks.
Eventually, I will start getting 405 errors again. I rerun the test script, and the module resumes functioning until the next failure.
I'm about ready to start pulling out hair. Anyone have any theories what might be going on here?

Not sure, but nothing suggests your problem has anything to suggest your problem is a Drupal one, and rather appears to be a problem with the soap library you are using.
wrd’s picture
It's very much a shot in the dark. It's the same library (SoapClient: http://php.net/manual/en/class.soapclient.php) in both pieces of code. It's essentially the same code (and I've tested it with exactly the same code, since the only difference is how the WSDL string gets fed to the function). The only difference I can think of is that the test script, which works every time, is being run "directly", while the module code, which sometimes fails, is being executed as a hook_menu() callback or a hook_action_info() callback (the latter as a scheduled job, the former when I need to execute it on-demand). | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Marooned (2004 film)
Marooned is an hour-long fly-on-the-wall documentary which followed the success of the Westmeath senior football team that won the 2004 Leinster Senior Football Championship Final, the county's first ever title at senior level, under the guidance of Páidí Ó Sé.
The documentary focused on Ó Sé who had taken over as Westmeath manager after departing Kerry in acrimonious circumstances. During Marooned Ó Sé admitted that managing Westmeath against his former team was "the hardest day of my life outside bereavements and things like that". Ó Sé did not inform the players that a documentary was being filmed.
First shown on RTÉ One, RTÉ again aired Marooned in January 2013 following Ó Sé's death the previous month. Setanta Sports also aired it twice over the Christmas period - 21 December at 21.45 and 29 December at 22.30.

-- Indonesia Should Lure Investors to Improve Food Security: OECD
Indonesia , the world’s biggest palm
oil producer and second largest for rubber, should make
agriculture more attractive for investors to improve food
security, said the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development. Restrictions on foreign ownership, complicated land rights,
the need for many permits and licenses and inadequate transport
and irrigation systems are among factors discouraging investors,
it said in a review of agricultural policies. Foreign and domestic investment in agriculture is
relatively low compared with its share of gross domestic product
and employment, it said. The country is the 10th largest
agricultural producer, just behind Turkey and France and ahead
of Germany and Argentina, and is the third-biggest rice grower

192 conversation in French, the while he purchased something "pour la toilette."
To all this "jabber"—as he was disposed linguistically to pronounce it—Mr. Bouncer listened as in a dream, and as though he were in a foreign land, and not in the midst of the great roaring Babel that he had figuratively termed "the little village."
He sat, tucked up in his wrapper, with the French unreadable newspaper spread out over his knees, while the silent worked vigorously at his hair, with a couple of brushes, almost dancing round him, in a rapid movement, very different to the slow, ponderous motion and tedious loquacity of Mr. Quickfall, of Barham.
"Of the brace of barbers that I have bagged to-day," thought Mr. Bouncer, "give me Mossoo."
Then he heard Madame calling "Alphonse! Alphonse!" and Mr. Bouncer thought to himself, "this Alphonse is, doubtless, an assistant, who will enter all grimace and smirk."
But a patter of little feet upon the floor soon showed him that "Alphonse" was a small, white, quaintly cropped poodle, who at once trotted up to Mr. Bouncer, and looked knowingly in his face, apparently seeing, with an intelligent glance, that his master's customer was a friend to dogs. | WIKI |
I noticed a severe slowdown and network problems on my amd64 -CURRENT
system. By bisecting SVN revisions I identified the following commit
to be responsible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
r259045 | kib | 2013-12-06 22:44:13 +0100 (Fri, 06 Dec 2013) | 9 lines
Disallow optimizations which potentially remove boundary checks
for signed values due to a compiler authors considering integer
overflow as impossible.
The change follows suit of other projects taking the same measure.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This commit added the following line to /sys/conf/kern.mk:
CFLAGS+= -fno-strict-overflow
The most obvious symptoms of the problem on my system are:
1) sa-spamd needs > 140 seconds to start
(instead of a few seconds)
2) SSH logins are very slow, many seconds of delay between connect
and password prompt, several seconds after password entry until
a command prompt appears (normally instantaneous)
In general it takes many seconds to open a TCP socket, even to
localhost.
I can perform further tests on this system, but it will be a lot
of work to locate the source files that are mis-compiled with
-fno-strict-overflow.
I'm surprised that nobody else seems to be affected by this problem,
since it is very obvious on my system and clearly caused by the
above mentioned commit.
My kernel configuration is a stripped down GENERIC plus ZFS, IPFW
and LINUX emulation. I can provide full details and a kernel that
exposes the problem on request.

Stability for line solitary waves of Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
5 Citations (Scopus)
Abstract
In this paper, we consider the stability for line solitary waves of the two dimensional Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation on R×TL which is one of a high dimensional generalization of Korteweg–de Vries equation, where TL is the torus with the 2πL period. The orbital and asymptotic stability of the one soliton of Korteweg–de Vries equation on the energy space was proved by Benjamin [2], Pego and Weinstein [41] and Martel and Merle [30]. We regard the one soliton of Korteweg–de Vries equation as a line solitary wave of Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation on R×TL. We prove the stability and the transverse instability of the line solitary waves of Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation by applying the method of Evans’ function and the argument of Rousset and Tzvetkov [44]. Moreover, we prove the asymptotic stability for orbitally stable line solitary waves of Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation by using the argument of Martel and Merle [30–32] and a Liouville type theorem. If L is the critical period with respect to a line solitary wave, the line solitary wave is orbitally stable. However, since this line solitary wave is a bifurcation point of the stationary equation, the linearized operator of the stationary equation is degenerate. Because of the degeneracy of the linearized operator, we can not show the Liouville type theorem for the line solitary wave by using the usual virial type estimate. To show the Liouville type theorem for the line solitary wave, we modify a virial type estimate.

Conservatoire de Grenoble
The Conservatoire de Grenoble, in French Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Grenoble is a Chartered artistic institution controlled by the Ministry of Culture and Communication, represented by the Regional Directorate of cultural Affairs (DRAC). The conservatory is located at 6, Chemin de Gordes 38100 Grenoble, France. The institute offers three specialties, music, dance and drama.
The building is installed close to the MC2. Since 2003, the building is labeled "Heritage of the 20th century" in Grenoble.
History
Teaching music in Grenoble dates back to 20 December 1787, when Mr. Garnier established a music school under the authority of the magistrates of the city, including Mayen, First Consul of the city. Students paid in advance the sum of 24 pounds for three months, 96 pounds for the entire year.
The year 1836 saw the creation of a vocal music classes at the vocational school and that of instrumental music lessons from 1883. At that time, the music companies abound in Grenoble as Orphéon founded in 1860 or Echo of the Alps, and not counting the military bands of the garrison troops. However, several projects to create a conservatory fail between 1871 and 1907. In 1907, the municipality of Charles Rivail is working to contact a dozen French cities with a questionnaire on how their music school. It was not until 1922 to see the creation of a music school in Grenoble in the premises of the post academic professional association (apps).
It's in its meeting of 23 November 1935, the City Council approved the institution's status and moved it to 11 Millet Street and made it a municipal conservatory. At the time, in the spirit of the new Municipality institution it provided the city with an organization capable of giving to the art of music and character development that can ensure a simple music school. The school moved tentatively April 21, 1939 in Hotel Majestic dependent building at 1, rue de Palanka with an installation of 20,000 francs budget, but the school closed during part of World War II.

War of Knives
The War of Knives (Guerre des couteaux), also known as the War of the South, was a civil war from June 1799 to July 1800 between the Haitian revolutionary Toussaint Louverture, a black ex-slave who controlled the north of Saint-Domingue (modern-day Haiti), and his adversary André Rigaud, a mixed-race free person of color who controlled the south. Louverture and Rigaud fought over de facto control of the French colony of Saint-Domingue during the war. Their conflict followed the withdrawal of British forces from the colony earlier during the Haitian Revolution. The war resulted in Toussaint taking control of the entirety of Saint-Domingue, and Rigaud fleeing into exile.
Early revolution
The Haitian Revolution had begun in 1791, when black slaves on the Caribbean colony of Saint-Domingue rose up against their French owners amidst the French Revolution. Toussaint came to prominence as a leader of rebel slaves in the North of Saint-Domingue, operating in territories surrounding the port of Le Cap-Français. Simultaneously, Rigaud emerged as a rebel leader among the gens de couleur libres (free people of color), who were based in the south of Saint-Domingue, where they had a significant presence around the port of Les Cayes.
In May 1792, Saint-Domingue's French Republican commissioners formed an alliance with Rigaud, allowing him to march his forces into the capital of Port-au-Prince and dissolve the city's restive government of white planters. In August 1793, the new Republican commissioner, Sonthonax, proclaimed freedom for all enslaved persons in Saint-Domingue in an attempt to secure control over the colony in the face of a counter-revolutionary revolt by white planters in Le Cap and invasions by rival European powers as part of the War of the First Coalition. After they abolished slavery, Sonthonax and his fellow commissioner Polverel successfully convinced Toussaint to join the French Republican side of the conflict. Toussaint and Rigaud had become allies by 1794. In early 1795, the French National Convention promoted both men to the rank of brigadier general.
Toussaint consolidates power
By 1798, Toussaint and Rigaud had jointly contained both the external and internal threats to the colony. In April 1798, the British commander Thomas Maitland approached Toussaint to negotiate a British withdrawal, which was concluded in August. In early 1799, Toussaint also independently negotiated "Toussaint's Clause" with the United States government, allowing American merchants to trade with Saint-Domingue despite the ongoing Quasi War between the U.S. and France. These developments significantly augmented Toussaint's power and demonstrated his emergence as a de facto independent ruler. Going forward, Toussaint and Rigaud effectively controlled all of the troops and territory within Saint-Domingue, although the colony was still nominally under French oversight. Toussaint ruled the colony's northern region around Le Cap and the western region around the capital of Port-au-Prince. Meanwhile, Rigaud independently ruled the southern region around Les Cayes, although Toussaint was technically his superior.
Hédouville sows tension
In July 1798, Toussaint and Rigaud traveled in a carriage together from Port-au-Prince to Le Cap to meet the recently arrived representative Théodore-Joseph d'Hédouville, sent by France's new Directory regime. Oral tradition asserts that during this carriage ride, Toussaint and Rigaud made a pact to collaborate against Hédouville's meddling. However, those efforts soon came undone, as Hédouville intentionally treated Rigaud with more favor than Toussaint, in an effort to sow tension between the two leaders. In a letter to Rigaud, Hédouville criticized "the perfidy of General Toussaint Louverture" and absolved Rigaud of Toussaint's authority as general-in-chief. He invited Rigaud to "take command of the Department of the South." Hédouville eventually fled Saint-Domingue, sailing from Le Cap in October 1798 due to threats by Toussaint.
Outbreak
The conflict took place mainly within Rigaud's domains in the southern part of Saint-Domingue. Rigaud struck first; after slaughtering many whites in South Province to secure his rear, on June 16-18, 1799, Rigaud sent 4,000 troops to seize the southern border towns of Petit-Goâve and Grand-Goâve, routing the smaller forces of Louverture's officer Laplume. Laplume narrowly escaped capture as his army collapsed in a flurry of confusion and desertions. Taking no prisoners, the mulattoes put blacks and whites to the sword. Following this decisive strike, Alexandre Pétion, a free colored officer (and future Haitian president) defected to Rigaud's side, bringing with him a large contingent of veteran troops.
Outside of the South, Rigaud instigated smaller revolts in the northern regions around Le Cap, Port-de-Paix, and Môle-Saint-Nicolas, as well as the west-central Artibonite plain. Many of these regions had repeatedly revolted against Toussaint in the past, in response to his strict labor policies and attempt to accommodate remaining white planters. He tried to establish labor regimes in order to produce enough sugar cane and other commodities for export.
Suppression
Toussaint responded rapidly to crush the uprisings in the North. Under the leadership of his officers Henri Christophe and Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Toussaint's troops orchestrated widespread executions of suspected conspirators. Meanwhile, in August 1799, Toussaint wrote to U.S. president John Adams, convincing the U.S. Navy to blockade ports controlled by Rigaud. To the United States, Rigaud's ties to France represented a threat to American commerce, which had been harassed by French privateers for the last two years as part of the Quasi-War.
After consolidating his rule in the north by late October, preparations were being made by Toussaint to attack Rigaud in every part of the South. For this invasion, Toussaint possessed a stark numerical advantage; he had 45,000-50,000 troops in his army, compared with Rigaud's 15,000. Early in November, Christophe led one wing of the army against Jacmel, and Dessalines led another one to recapture Grand and Petit Goâve. No small part in the black offensive was played by an American fleet, which destroyed Rigaud's marauding barges, transported blacks to the southern front, and bombarded mulatto positions. For instance, the frigate USS General Greene, commanded by Captain Christopher Perry, providing fire support to the blacks as Toussaint laid siege to Jacmel.
By mid-November, Toussaint's southern offensive was stalled at Jacmel, symbol of mulatto resistance. Led by Pétion, the defenders refused to succumb to fierce attacks by Toussaint's forces. Early 1800 found the city almost without food but still repulsing the slashing assaults of Dessalines' army; one time the blacks even broke inside the beleaguered city, only to be cut off and slaughtered by the defenders. On the night of March 11, 1800, Pétion hacked his way out of Jacmel, but Toussaint's forces fell on his retreating army and killed or captured hundreds of soldiers.
In June, an emissary of France sent by the newly empowered First Consul Napoleon Bonaparte (who had recently overthrown the Directory) reaffirmed Toussaint's position as general-in-chief. This undermined Rigaud's claims that Hédouville had voided Toussaint's authority. By late July, Rigaud had fled the colony with his family to France, and Toussaint entered Rigaud's former base of Les Cayes shortly afterward. By August, 1800, Toussaint was ruler of all Saint-Domingue.
Massacres
Following his victory over Rigaud, Toussaint declared a general amnesty in July 1800. But Toussaint's general Jean-Jacques Dessalines became infamous during this period for carrying out brutal reprisals and massacres against Rigaud's supporters. Some historians have asserted that Toussaint himself ordered massacres, but delegated the killing to his generals to avoid culpability. The number of victims in these massacres remains disputed: the contemporary French general François Joseph Pamphile de Lacroix suggested 10,000 deaths, while C. L. R. James, a 20th-century historian from Trinidad, later claimed only a few hundred persons had been killed in contravention of the amnesty.
Invasion of Santo Domingo
Five months after the war, in December 1800, Toussaint ordered an invasion of the Spanish colony of Santo Domingo, which occupied the eastern half of the island of Hispaniola. Although Spain had technically ceded Santo Domingo to France in the 1795 Peace of Basel, the colony was still controlled by a Spanish administration at the time. The invasion was virtually unopposed, and the Spanish governor capitulated a month later.
Toussaint's reasons for invading Santo Domingo remain multifaceted and murky. Throughout the war, the Spanish authorities in Santo Domingo had generally supported Rigaud, fearing Toussaint's own designs on the eastern portion of Hispaniola. Toussaint suspected that the Spanish had also been offering direct military aid to Rigaud; for instance, the gens de couleur officer Antoine Chanlatte had traveled to Santo Domingo in 1800 to acquire munitions for Rigaud's cause. The American consul Edward Stevens claimed that Toussaint had launched the invasion in response to a rumor that France was sending 15,000 troops to Santo Domingo in support of Riguad. Toussaint also claimed that black "French citizens" were being kidnapped and sold as slaves in Santo Domingo. Additionally, Toussaint may have wished to emancipate Santo Domingo's remaining enslaved population, although he made no mention of slavery in his declaration of war.
Toussaint's fall from power
With his victory over Rigaud and conquest of Santo Domingo, Toussaint controlled the entire island of Hispaniola by 1801. However, Rigaud returned less than two years later, when he and his fellow exile Pétion joined Charles Leclerc's unsuccessful 1802 campaign to reassert French control over the colony. During the campaign, Leclerc would deport both Rigaud and Toussaint from Saint Domingue; Toussaint died in a French prison in 1803.
Ethnicity and the conflict
In presenting the war, historians often point to the ethnic divide between Saint-Domingue's black and mulatto populations. Rigaud, a free mulatto, is seen as being favored by the whites and other mulattoes, who were part of the gens de couleur. In contrast, Toussaint was held in high regard by the colony's black population. Under Rigaud's regime, gens de couleur had filled many officer posts in his army and acquired many abandoned plantation properties in the south. Meanwhile, most of the officers in Toussaint's army were predominately former slaves of African ancestry.
That said, there was still substantial diversity on both sides. Many ex-slaves supported Rigaud's faction, such as the former maroon Lamour Desrances, who was among those who thought that Toussaint was excessively conciliatory to white planters and the British. Both sides claimed that the other intended to betray the Rights of Man propagated by the French Revolution and reinstate slavery.
As a result, historians such as Laurent Dubois argue that the conflict "was not driven by differences in racial identity... it was a conflict over territorial and political power." Both Toussaint and Rigaud had an economic interest in maintaining the colony's plantation system and cultivating economic ties with British and American merchants. The question that remained was whether it would be Toussaint or Rigaud who controlled this renewed system. | WIKI |
I'm completely new to nim and I'm trying to reproduce this pascal type so that I can read a response from a socket into it...

so I know I can just create a union like so:
type
TUDPData {.packed.} = object
data_type
, sub_data_type
, channel
, len: uint16
data: Data
Data {.packed.} = object {.union.}
version_info: VersionInfo
system_info: SystemInfo
name: TestNameAndComments
channel_status: ChannelStatus
channel_status_matrix: array[128, LimitedChannelStatus]
but I feel like I'm translating this wrong and I should be using object variants probably. I'm fairly green and just trying to learn so just a push in the right direction or some reading material would be super helpful.

Nim's object variants are from Pascal, they are what you need. Smth like:
Data = object {.packed.}
case b: byte
of 0: AsChannelStatus01: TChannelStatus01
of 1: AsVoltageList: array[0..127, single]
# ...
else: discard
2017-10-10 10:14:19
object variants are not exactly the same, because you always need the extra tag - byte b here. In pascal you don't need a stored tag (like in the question). I guess the union should result in the same memory layout. 2017-10-10 14:53:57
Right, I need the exact same memory layout as I cant alter the server code, only the client side so I'll stick with the union I guess. Thank you 2017-10-10 14:58:30 | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Talk:Overview of 21st-century propaganda
Inclusion of Ad counsel on the USA paragraph
As of Dec 28, 2016 this page includes a short two paragraphs about USA and links to the main page on USA propaganda. Given the brevity of the information displayed here, it seems inappropriate and perhaps even propagandesque to include the statement labelling the ad counsel as propaganda. I actually am not to familiar with his agency aside from several public service ads that it sponsore, but based on what is currently written on the main USA propaganda page, it seems really inappropriate to include that paragraph on this page.
It seems more like someone has personal beef with the ad counsel. When one goes to the full page on USA propaganda one see that it is actually only a random university professor claiming that it is like the propaganda arm of the USA govt. That is not clear here, this paragraph makes it seem like there is more consensus. I am going to delete the paragraph on the ad counsel. It is best left for the main page on USA propaganda, although I'd say even that is dubious without more support. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk)

's many a flower that proudly springs Amid the gaudy world's parterre, Caress'd by Fashion's painted wings, To Folly dear.
Whose flaunting petals woo the sun, Heedless of Beauty's transient lot, But wither ere the day is done, Unwept, forgot.
Yet some there are that bloom apart, With meekly consecrated charm. Whose gifts of fragrance cheer the heart Like healing balm.
O'er the blest spot, where erst they grew, The eye of Love its tears shall shed, And Pain and Penury bedew Their funeral bed. | WIKI |
