Q: Volley parse Json object with file sending string to server This is my Java code:
 public void imageUpload(final Context context, final String imagePath) {
    final String requestBody;
    JSONObject jsonUser = null;
    JSONObject jsonAddress = null;
    JSONObject jsonDriver = null;
    JSONObject jsonImage = null;
    String URL = SIGN_UP;
    final String ConvertImage;

    jsonUser = new JSONObject();
    try {
        jsonUser.put("first_name", "ABC");
        jsonUser.put("last_name", "XYZ");
        jsonUser.put("email", "yash@gmail.com");
        jsonUser.put("phone", "9999900000");

        jsonAddress = new JSONObject();
        jsonAddress.put("address", "MUMBAI");
        jsonAddress.put("city", "MUMBAI");
        jsonAddress.put("state", "MH");

        jsonDriver.put("license_number", "12346579");
        jsonDriver.put("license_state", "MH");
        jsonDriver.put("social_security_number", "123456");

        JSONObject jsonObjectFinal = new JSONObject();
        jsonObjectFinal.put("user", jsonUser);
        jsonObjectFinal.put("address", jsonAddress);
        jsonObjectFinal.put("driver", jsonDriver);

    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    SimpleMultiPartRequest smr = new SimpleMultiPartRequest(Request.Method.POST, URL,
            new Response.Listener<String>() {
                @Override

                    } catch (JSONException e) {
                        // JSON error
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            }, new Response.ErrorListener() {

            Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
            /*params.put("user", jsonUser + "");
            params.put("address", jsonAddress + "");
            params.put("driver", jsonDriver + "");

            return params;
        }
    };
    smr.addFile("license_image", imagePath);
    smr.addMultipartParam("user", "text/plain", jsonUser + "");
    smr.addMultipartParam("address", "text/plain", jsonAddress + "");
    smr.addMultipartParam("driver", "text/plain", jsonDriver + "");
    Log.d("Param", "" + smr.getMultipartParams() + "***");
    MySingleton.getInstance(context).addToRequestQueue(smr);
}

The server shows:
data:->

[Object: null prototype] {
 address:
  '{"address":"SURAT","city":"SURAT","state":"GUJARAT","zip":"369852"}',
 driver:
  '{"middle_name":"GG","vehicle_type":"CAR","car_plate_number":"123456","car_brand":"BMW","making_year":"2011","date_of_birth":"2019-06-01","license_number":"12346579","license_state":"MH","social_security_number":"123456"}',
 user:
  '{"first_name":"YASH","last_name":"PANCHAL","email":"yash@gmail.com","phone":"8460277210","password":"Yash@123"}' }
files:-> [ { fieldname: 'license_image',
   originalname: '1559197608373.jpg',
   encoding: 'binary',
   mimetype: 'application/octet-stream',
   destination: 'C:\\Users\\Admin\\AppData\\Local\\Temp',
   filename: 'license_image-m6i0vcx0-1559197611770.octet-stream',
   path:
    'C:\\Users\\Admin\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\license_image-m6i0vcx0-1559197611770.octet-stream',
   size: 53156 } ]

The files are sent perfectly but the JSON object is parsed as String, I want to send data like:
  {
user:{
'first_name': 'yash',
'last_name': 'panchal'
},
address:{
...
},
driver:{
...
},
licence_image: [file]
}

In Android I have to pass request in JSON object or array including files.
If I try to parse the image via bitmap, the server returns undefined and if I try with pas as String it's working fine but when passing JSON data as above it results in sending object data as a single String.

A: Have a look at this multipart request with parameter's to a particular server and parsing its response as json :
private void saveProfileAccount() {
        // loading or check internet connection or something...
        // ... then
        String url = "http://www.angga-ari.com/api/something/awesome";
        VolleyMultipartRequest multipartRequest = new VolleyMultipartRequest(Request.Method.POST, url, new Response.Listener<NetworkResponse>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(NetworkResponse response) {
                String resultResponse = new String(response.data);
                try {
                    JSONObject result = new JSONObject(resultResponse);
                    String status = result.getString("status");
                    String message = result.getString("message");

                    if (status.equals(Constant.REQUEST_SUCCESS)) {
                        // tell everybody you have succed upload image and post strings

                }

Gemini North infrared image of Saturn and Titan (at about 6 o'clock position). Image obtained on May 7, 2009 (5:31 UTC) using the Altair adaptive optics system with the Near-infrared imager (NIRI). At the perimeter of Saturn's ring the F-ring is faintly visible. The F-ring was discovered in images from the Pioneer 11 spacecraft in 1979 and is normally not apparent in images taken with ground-based telescopes. Also apparent are several of Saturn's smaller moons. This color composite image made using data from three infrared filters (K' [2.0-2.1 microns], h210 [2.12 micron narrowband], and bracket gamma[2.17 micron narrowband]), the field of view is about 40 arcseconds across.

Newest game in town
The Great Cup makes its competitive debut with tomorrow's start of the GC32 Austria Cup
Tuesday May 7th 2013, Author: James Boyd, Location: Austria
GC32 racing finally gets underway tomorrow with the start of the GC32 Austria Cup, part of Allianz Traunsee Week presented by BMW.
While there appeared to be no wind on Lake Traunsee today for the practice races and 'media day', the experienced race committee, led by former Star Olympic sailor Stefan Puxkandl, moved the three GC32 catamarans down to the southern end of the lake at Ebensee and the area known as 'Little Garda', where there always seems to be the most breeze on this picture postcard Austrian lake.
All the teams got a chance to race with different winners in each of these informal races: Marwin Team of Swiss Star sailor Flavio Marazzi taking the first, Laurent Lenne's Spax Solution Sailing Team claiming the second and their Dutch team mates, Firefly, first home in the third.
The Great Cup's Chief Operating Officer Andrew Macpherson says that the one design aspect of the Martin Fischer-designed 32ft catamarans and the equality of their performance is working: "Over the last few days of test racing, we've all been lining up and no one seems faster."
For the first time today all the crews and their skippers assembled. Austria's great hope is AEZ GC32 Racing skipper Andreas Hagara, who over his lengthy career in the Olympic Tornado catamaran has been World Champion and has won 15 medals at World and European championship level. Hagara has also competed in the Extreme Sailing Series and was skipper of the China Team AC45.
Hagara is enthusiastic about The Great Cup and the GC32 catamaran: "I think the concept is really good, the size is good, it is state of the art, the latest you can get, apart from the wing rig [which the GC32 doesn't have, but is fitted to the AC45 and AC72 America's Cup catamarans], but that is not in line with the idea of the boat - a wing wouldn't work for private owners."
The Austrian catamaran sailing legend describes the GC32 as a light boat that is "aggressive to sail - it has a lot of square metres on the rig." However he adds that with the ability to rake the boat's foils aft so that they lift the bows, make the GC32 one of the safest catamarans he has ever sailed.
The foils Hagara refers to are S-shaped, as seen on the AC72s catamarans. As well as preventing leeway, these provide vertical lift, but in the lighter conditions expected on the lake it is unlikely there will be enough wind to get the lightweight catamarans fully airborne. Hagara acknowledges it is early days. When competition gets underway tomorrow it will be the first time the brand new GC32s will have ever raced in anger. "We don't know how to use them yet! We have had no time to find out."
One of the surprise figures in the GC32 fleet is Mikael Lundh, best known for having competed in two Volvo Ocean Races aboard Swedish Match and on djuice dragons. Lundh is racing on Spax Solution Sailing Team with The Great Cup's creator, Laurent Lenne. "I think the boats are fantastic. They are really powerful and I think they will be easy to handle for owners."
While historically catamarans have had issues tacking, this is far from the case with the GC32, Lundh confirms: "Tacking isn't an issue, even in light airs, although if you completely screw it up, it'll be a problem. People are very surprised coming on board that it just takes off again. We had a few tacks yesterday in 8 knots of breeze when we went from lifting a hull and then coming out of a tack straight to lifting a hull again."
Swiss skipper Flavio Marazzi is better known for sailing the stately Olympic Star keelboat. A lightweight catamaran capable of 30+ knots downwind and sailing at two to three times wind speed is a very different proposition. He has acquired his GC32 because it is versatile. "This is a boat designed to be sailed in all conditions including waves and 25 knots. I am looking forward to sailing in big breeze, but I'm looking forward to the Lake Geneva races as well," Marazzi adds, referring to the Geneve-Rolle-Geneve and Bol d'Or Mirabaud, the events next up for the GC32s after this.
A man who is particularly looking forward to tomorrow's debut of The Great Cup, is the series' creator Amsterdam-based Frenchman Laurent Lenne. One year and four months on from starting this project, tomorrow his dream becomes reality.
"The Great Cup should be about great locations, great fun, great sailing and to create a good culture so that everyone has fun, from the venue point of view, sailors and sponsors," Lenne (below) said.
While a race from Gmunden at the northern of the lake down to Ebensee at its southern end and back was scheduled for tomorrow, instead this is likely to be postponed until Thursday, or whenever conditions look best. Instead tomorrow will see the start of the first of the GC32 Austria Cup's windward-leeward races.

Grand National Favourite Tiger Roll Thrills in Hurdle Victory
There are less than six weeks to go until the Grand National. We are now at the stage where many horses are being seen on the racecourse, putting together the final touches of their preparation. Last Sunday we saw Tiger Roll make a reappearance in a Grade Two hurdle race at Navan racecourse. And what a performance it was. Winning by four lengths, pundits are suggesting that he is better than ever. Can he continue this good form in his warm up ahead of the big one?
No one expected to see Tiger Roll win the race. And certainly not to do it almost entirely on the bridle. But that is exactly what he did on Sunday. He went off at 25/1 for the race, and was disregarded by many as simply having a prep run ahead of his two main targets. Gordon Elliott confirmed after the race that he was about 80% fit for the run on Sunday. So there is room to improve from that race. A scary proposition for us to think about considering how well he did.
Unlike many of the other Grand National contenders out there, he will not return home and sit in his box until the National. Instead, Tiger Roll will do the same as last season and head to the Cheltenham Festival. He won the Cross Country Chase last season and that is the race he is trying to win again this year. He already has three Cheltenham wins to his name. Following his run last weekend you wouldn't bet against him making it four next month when he next takes to the track.
Gordon Elliott will be ensuring that the necessary work continues to get him 100% fit for Aintree. If he wins at Cheltenham, then he would head to Aintree looking to land a unique 'double-double'. Red Rum successfully managed to defend his Grand National title in 1974. But Tiger Roll would be going one better than that. He will be defending his Cheltenham Festival win and then going on to defend his National win at Aintree.
This horse is already a huge favourite with punters and fans of the sport. He has our hearts and another win will cement him as one of the very best and most loved horses in training.
Up next is the Cheltenham Festival and the Cross Country Chase. He is a strong favourite for the race and expected to win it. That would put him in a perfect position for the Grand National. He is likely to go off as favourite and another win there would put in the history books.
Odds for Tiger Roll are relatively short. You can get him at 10/1 (NRNB) with Betfred or 12/1 ante-post with Bet365.

Two Young Australian Guys Turned Their Van Into A Mobile Laudromat For Homeless People – VIDEO
By Emma Lord
The holidays are one of the most crucial times of years for homeless shelter volunteers, who are so are committed to putting together meals and helping people get back on their feet that it's easy in the midst of all that chaos for some necessities to be overlooked. But two young Australian guys have come up with a solution to a problem that had yet to be tackled: they purchased a van and turned it into the first mobile laundromat for homeless people that currently operates in Brisbane in Queensland, Australia. They have dubbed their unique service "Orange Sky Laundry."
The co-founders of the van, Lucas Patchette and Nicholas Marchesi, say that the inspiration for the project came with the revelation that most homeless people were being charged six dollars to do their laundry in shelters, and still had to go to the trouble of carting all their clothes to and from the shelter. The two 20-year-olds aimed to make it more convenient by trailing mobile food trucks to local parks that were already out feeding the homeless, so they could make the laundromat more accessible. Since launching, they've acquired two washing machines and two dryers for the van, and have developed a system with mesh bags and color organization so that they can get each individual's clothes washed and dried within an hour and a half.
They've also started sharing stories of community members who have benefitted from the service on the Orange Sky facebook page, and are encouraging other young people in the area to volunteer or donate on their main website. So far they have partnered with corporate sponsors LG, Symbio and Richard Jay, and have ambitious plans to expand the service out to other regions in Australia, where there are an estimated 105,000 homeless people. Check out the innovative design of the van (and some adorable Australian accents) in the video from a local news source:

This much we know for certain. During halftime at the Super Bowl, Clint Eastwood touted the resurgence of Detroit while narrating a striking two-minute-long commercial for Chrysler, "Halftime in America."
But what did it mean? In a presidential election year, it is impossible to mention Detroit without political repercussions richocheting everywhere like shrapnel from an improvised explosive device. The fallout was instant: Clint Eastwood just picked sides!
For liberal Michael Moore, it was an endorsement of President Obama.
Charges of hypocrisy poured in like Giants defensive linemen collapsing on Tom Brady. Clint Eastwood has long been regarded as a solidly libertarian conservative, and he is on record as having opposed the auto bailout. Yet here he was, cashing in, indirectly, on the auto bailout: taking what must surely have been a hefty paycheck to tout Detroit's comeback!
Of course, Eastwood is also a smart man, and by the evidence of his long career, he is not crazy. So maybe he changed his mind. Maybe he saw what's happened since the auto bailout and decided that in this case, government intervention was good policy. And maybe he's been looking at what passes for conservativism in the United States over the past few years, and he's disgusted. Because whatever you might think about the hypocrisy issue, there's absolutely no question that "Halftime in America" has a clear political subtext.
Not only is that passage clearly a reference to the political fighting and harsh rhetoric of the past three years, but during that section, the commercial shows images of demonstrators in Wisconsin, protesting the effort by Gov. Scott Walker to break public sector unions! You can't get more political than that. Sure, as John Nichols at the Nation reports, the pro-union signs of the demonstrators were surgically removed from the shots, but even that revisionism doesn't obscure the power of the reference.. As a country, we're fighting each other, Eastwood is saying. Let's come back together ... and support government intervention in the economy!
Seriously, what else are we to make of this?
As commentator Greg Mitchell pointed out almost immediately at the Nation, mister straight-shooter Clint is not being factually accurate. We did not all pull together. Obama bailed out Detroit, and faced enormous criticism for it. It's exhibit A in the case for Obama's supposed campaign to create the United Socialist States of America!
The conclusion seems clear: If we're all supposed to pull together to reach a full economic recovery, just like we pulled together to rescue Detroit, then clearly we should be pulling together to reelect Obama. It certainly wouldn't make sense to all pull together to elect the guy who wanted us to let Detroit go bankrupt, would it?


With winter in full swing, our wardrobes are now filled with jackets, scarves, boots and all things warm. For most of us, winter is a dreary and dull season with hardly any pop of color as most of us walk around in black or neutral colored coats. However, what if we tell you that does not have to be the case. What if it is possible to be a bright ray of sunshine in a sea of neutrals? Here are some fashionista-approved ways you can bring a dash of color to your winter wardrobe.
For the bold fashionistas out there, this seems like a sure-fire way to stick out of the crowd of people who wear black or grey coats. Go for bright and bold colors like red or a subtle pastel color like lilac. Don't be afraid to dig through thrift stores for printed or studded coats; or give yourself a DIY day where you embellish your favorite coat with some pearls or patches. Style the coat up with a cute dress, stockings and boots; or style it down with jeans and a simple tee, and watch the compliments come pouring in.
Fight your winter blues away with a pair of floral-printed pants. Not only will this bring some cheer to your day but to others around you as well. Pair your printed pants with a plain tee or a chunky sweater for a cute look.
Winter weather should not scare you into not wearing your favorite skirt or dress. But instead of wearing dull black tights, jazz it up a bit by pairing your outfit with a brightly colored pair of tights. You can even double up with some thick ankle socks and boots for a truly warm but adorable 90s look.
Brighten up your casual outfit with a colorful boot. Denim and short black skirts look great when paired with bright and crazy boots. Thrift stores have some excellent colorful boot choices; just make sure to weather-proof them before walking through all the snow and salt.
From colourful jewelry to beanies, and handbags to scarves, this is probably the easiest way to add a pop of color to your outfit for those afraid to make too bold a statement. With pom-poms and tassels being a huge hit on runways this past year, you can either make your own colorful jewelry or get some at stores like Forever 21 or Aritzia.
While it can get a bit intimidating to step out of your home dressed in brightly colored garments, it's a great way to stand out in a crowd and show off your fashion style. To help ease you into a colorful winter wardrobe, start out with one piece; whether it be a pair of tights or an accessory. Slowly ease yourself into more color to become a pro at brightening your winter fashion.


By far, the most popular posts on our site are those discussing psychopaths: What Is a Psychopath?, Are Psychopaths Born or Made?, and Can Psychopaths Be Cured?
Why are we humans so fascinated by these people who are essentially evil incarnate? I don't have a good answer for that, but I don't think it means we like that evil. Perhaps we are so intrigued because it is hard to fathom how some people can end up that way.
Today, I'm hanging out over at Jami Gold's cyber-home, talking about psychopaths, sociopaths, narcissists and other kinds of villains. What are the differences between these labels? How do the people who merit these labels behave? And what causes these pathological patterns of behavior?
One of the toughest tasks we authors face is deciding how to portray our bad guys and gals. Will we make them out to be misguided and conflicted souls, or totally evil psychopaths, or somewhere in between? And exactly what is a psychopath anyway?
This question came up for me recently as I finished up a Halloween story in my cozy mystery series. I was tempted to go the conflicted soul route and have my antagonist be at least partially redeemed at the end, but some of the things this antagonist was destined to do, it would take a full-blown psychopath to go there. So that's the direction I had to take.
Sometimes, like in this case, the plot dictates how evil and lacking in remorse the antagonist must be, but other times, most times really, we may want to have at least some positive traits in our bad guys.
What Is a Psychopath Anyway?
First, let me clarify our terminology. Sociopath and psychopath are essentially the same thing. They are two different words, coined at different points in the history of the mental health field, but referring to the same people … and neither is still officially used in the field today.
The official terminology is now antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), and members of the mental health field will rarely use the terms sociopath or psychopath in any official capacity.
But saying "a person with antisocial personality disorder" is a bit cumbersome, so mental health professionals, especially in conversations with lay people, may unofficially use the word psychopath.
I will come back to the concept of sociopath in a bit.
So again, what is a psychopath exactly, i.e., someone with ASPD? They are noted for several personality traits, the most troublesome being a lack of remorse and inability to feel empathy for others. They engage in antisocial behaviors, such as aggression, stealing, lying, etc., with no concern for who they are harming. Indeed, they often get off on the sense of power that harming others gives them. They also tend to be thrill-seeking and impulsive.
This psychopath has just been arrested for multiple murders. He is smiling for the mugshot.
They have a very high threshold for stimulation, a fancy way of saying that it takes a lot to make them feel anything. So normal life, that would make most of us quite happy, feels incredibly boring to them. Thus the thrill-seeking. Also, their high threshold for stimulation keeps them from feeling fear in situations that most of us would find quite scary (like being arrested).
This means they will do some pretty outrageous things, either ignoring or rationalizing away the potential negative consequences for themselves. The really smart ones, however, may meticulously plan out their evil deeds, but this lack of fear can often be their downfall.
Antisocial Personality Disorder is caused by a combination of genetics and a harsh, abusive environment growing up. More on this in a moment.
Sometimes we will want our antagonists to be basically good people who find themselves in bad situations. Maybe something pointed them down the wrong road—an event where they did something bad accidentally, or in self defense, and are now tortured by guilt about it. Maybe something extremely important to them is at risk and therefore they are willing to violate their moral code in order to protect it.
And stay tuned. Next week, I will delve further into how authors develop the villains in their stories.

(AP) PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. - Pennsylvania's Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his lair to "see" his shadow on Thursday, in the process predicting six more weeks of winter.
The groundhog made his "prediction" on Gobbler's Knob, a tiny hill in the town for which he's named about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
Temperatures were near freezing when he emerged at dawn — unseasonably warm — and were forecast to climb into the mid-40s in a winter that's brought little snow and only a few notably cold days to much of the East.
Thursday's ceremony is largely that: Phil's prediction is determined ahead of time by the Inner Circle, a group who dons top hats and tuxedos and decides in advance what the groundhog will predict.
Organizers expected 15,000 to 18,000 people to witness the furry creature's prognostication ceremony just before 7:30 a.m. EST.
This year's crowd was warmer than most. The average early-morning temperature usually hovers around 17 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett was among the spectators this year. Those who couldn't make it to Gobbler's Knob could follow the groundhog on Twitter and Facebook, or watch a webcast of the event on his website.
"What started as a small gathering in 1887 has now evolved into tens of thousands of visitors from around the nation and even the world coming to Punxsutawney to participate in this time-honored Groundhog Day tradition," Corbett said.
Phil has now seen his shadow 100 times and hasn't seen it just 16 times since 1886, according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club's Inner Circle, which runs the event. There are no records for the remaining years.
The tradition attained a large following with the 1993 Bill Murray comedy "Groundhog Day," in which a weatherman covering the event must relive the day over and over again. Before the movie came out, Phil was lucky to have an audience of 2,500, said Mike Johnston, vice president of the Inner Circle.
And while the group has records of Phil's predictions dating back to 1886, what it doesn't have is a tally of whether Phil was right.
Johnston said the reason is simple: "He's never been wrong." Phil is "incapable of error," he said, because the groundhog smartly avoids being site-specific in his prognostications.
If Phil predicts six more weeks of winter, said Johnston, "I guarantee you someone's going to have six more weeks of winter."

Q: Update text in dynamically created label I'm working on a proof of concept type situation that will eventually be tied to a scheduling database.  As a Test I created this:
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    'AddButton("test")
    addLots()
End Sub

Private Sub AddLots()
    Dim x As Integer
    For x = 0 To 10
      Dim b As New Button
      Dim newLabel As New Label
      newLabel.Location = New Point(100, x * 20)
      newLabel.Name = x
      newLabel.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Fixed3D
      newLabel.Text = newLabel.Name
      Me.Controls.Add(newLabel)
      Me.Controls.Add(b)
      b.Location = New Point(20, x * 20)
      b.Text = x
      b.Tag = x
      b.Name = x
      AddHandler b.Click, AddressOf Button_Click
    Next
End Sub

Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
    Dim B As Button = sender
    MsgBox(B.Name)
End Sub

For this proof of concept, I simply want label 1 text to be updated when I press button 1 seems like a simple process but it's kicking my butt.

A: As for any object, to affect a Label you will need a reference to it.  As it stands, the only reference you have is via the Controls collection of the parent control you added the Label to, i.e. the form itself.  You could loop through the Controls of the form and as soon as you find a Label then you know you have the first one, or you could call OfType and First or FirstOrDefault.  That assumes that there are no other Label controls on the form.
You might also consider using a dedicated parent control so that you know it will only contain the Label controls you created at run time.  The obvious choice would be a TableLayoutPanel because it will handle the layout for you too.
If accessing the dynamic controls via a Controls collection is an issue then keep your own collection.  Declare a member variable of type List(Of Label) and add each Label you create to it.  You can then access your control from that collection and know that there are no other controls in there to get mixed up with.
By the way, if you're creating those controls at run time then they won't be automatically disposed when the form is.  Make sure that you dispose them yourself and also use RemoveHandler for each AddHandler you used.
Actually, looking closer at your code, I just realised that there's a 1:1 correspondence between the Button and Label controls.  It would make sense to use that.  Two options are to assign the corresponding Label to the Tag of each Button or else use a Dictionary(Of Button, Label) assigned to a member variable to store the relationships.  That way, you can then use the sender in the event handler, which will be the Button that was clicked, to get the corresponding Label.
Option 1.
Creating the Label:
Dim btn As New Button
Dim lbl As New Label

btn.Tag = lbl

In the event handler:
Dim btn = DirectCast(sender, Button)
Dim lbl = DirectCast(btn.Tag, Label)

Option 2.
At class level:
Private labelsByButton As New Dictionary(Of Button, Label)

Creating the Label:
Dim btn As New Button
Dim lbl As New Label

Me.labelsByButton.Add(btn, lbl)

In the event handler:
Dim btn = DirectCast(sender, Button)
Dim lbl = Me.labelsByButton(btn)

A: I added this to the button click event.  Doesn't seem very efficient as I will eventually have 30-40 buttons and controls on the form but it works.
  Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
      Dim B As Button = sender
      Dim lblToChange As Integer = B.Name
      For Each objCtrl As Control In Me.Controls
          If TypeOf objCtrl Is Label Then
             Dim Lbl As Label = DirectCast(objCtrl, Label)
             If Lbl.Name = lblToChange Then
                Lbl.Text = "This ONe"
             End If
          End If
      Next
   End Sub

The movement of people has always been part of the human condition and a vital process for all human societies bringing change, solving some social challenges and introducing others.
The contemporary world is characterised by a high degree of mobility, making the different and often overlapping categories of people on the move important political and developmental actors.
This movement of people relates back to conceptual philosophical questions about the absence of universal rights in actual political space and notions of citizenship and belonging, as well as to important global development agendas, such as remittances and other more intangible transfers of people on the move, which make a major contribution to global development.

Q: If I say "I have 4 same books each in 4 bags" is it understood as in each bag, there is a same book?
I have 4 bags. In each bag, there is a same book.

I tried to rewrite this as one sentence, but I don't know if it is grammatically correct and  if it conveys the same meaning.

I have 4 same books each in 4 bags.
I have 4 same books each in bag A, bag B, bag C, bag D respectively.

How would you normally say it?

A: I have the same book in each of these four bags.
(subject) I
(verb) have
(DO adjective) the same
(Direct Object) book
(prepositional phrase) in each
(prepositional phrase) of these four bags

A: Maybe you could write, "I have four copies of the same book, each in a bag."
Of course, this only implies that you have four bags.  If you need to directly mention the fact that you have four bags, you might write something like, "I have four bags, and each has a copy of the same book."
In any case, using the word "copy" might help, since, as @ssdecontrol noted, the construction is pretty cumbersome. Sorry you can't just leave them as two sentences! :-)

A: As a native (UK) English speaker I would say that you have a number of choices:

I have four copies of the same book, each in a separate bag.

Places the emphasis on the 4 books and clarifies that they are stored in separate bags. As does:

Here are four copies of the book, bagged separately.

While:

I have four bags each containing a copy of the book.

Emphasises the bags and assumes that the specific book is already defined in context. This might be used at a book launch to describe the door prizes and does not preclude there being other bags that contain other things nor there being other things in each bag.

A: I would write this as:

I have four identical books, each in its own bag.

A: Normally you would say:

I have 4 bags, each containing the same book.

A: Three notes: First, your original sentence has the wrong article. Second, your additional sentences aren't using same properly (it's a weird word). Third, there are a couple ways to make this one sentence. See below.

First, note that the constructions you're using use the definite determiner/article (the) on books. So, instead of:

I have 4 bags. In each bag, there is a same book.

One would say

I have 4 bags. In each bag, there is the same book.

This is because the books have been mentioned before (in the first sentence of the example). See the Wikipedia page on definiteness.

Secondly, with your second sentence, the syntax of counters in English can be weird. For instance, the following is good:

I have 4 books.

But this is not good:

I have 4 same books.

This is because words preceding same require of the:

I have 4 books.
I have 4 of the same book.
I have ten dolls.
I have ten of the same doll.

Note also that nouns modified by of the are singular (book vs books)

Third, as you note, your original sentence sounds weird because it is strange to say something simple like it in two sentences. As others have pointed out, you could say something like:

I have four bags, each with the same book

However, this is also somewhat weird because you're emphasizing bags without discussing the book much. The bag sounds more important because it is first, but there isn't much about it. So, if the book is more important, I would say something like:

I have four copies of the same book in each of these bags.
I have four of the same book with each in a bag.
I have a copy in each of these four bags.

I would expect to hear I have four bags, each with the same book at a convention or something similar where people are getting free books in bags, and each bag might have a different book. So, if you're emphasizing you have four bags, but complaining you have the same books, then this sentence would be used.

A: I would prefer

I have 4 same books each in bag A, bag B, bag C, bag D respectively.

or this can be written as

I have four same books each in four different bags.

A: I have 4 identical books in 4 bags.
I have 4 similar books in 4 bags.
I have 4 bags, each contains the same book.
I have 4 bags, each containing the same book.

A: The correct form of the sentence

I have 4 bags. In each bag, there is a same book.

in your question entry is actually simple (assuming your listener is not a philosopher) and it should read as:

I have 4 bags. In each bag, I have the same book.

Some remarks:
(I) Existence of something under the possession of a person is expressed by using the verb "have":

*

*I have a book in my bag.

*He has a very nice car in his garden.

*Do they have a house of their own?

(II) Existence of something that is not under the possession of a person is expressed by using an appropriate expression of the form "there + be":

*

*There are two cats in the garden.

*There has always been a strong wind in this town.

*There were many trees here 20 years ago.

*Are there any hospitals around here?

(III) The word "same" is always preceded by the definite article "the". If an indefinite noun is the same as a definite noun, it then becomes definite and therefore requires the use of the definite article "the" before it.


Sophia and Mittens are Growing Up!
It was only a couple months ago when I posted a Wordless Wednesday of Sophia with her new kitten Mittens. Last week I took this photo of Sophia with Mittens and while I expected Mittens to have changed considerably in two months, I didn't expect to see such a change in Sophia! She looks so much older! Apparently little girls grow almost as fast as little kittens.
What an adorable photo! Have a blessed and beautiful week!
How darling they are together!!! My what a fluffy kitten, she is beautiful!!
Please join in on my #WW this week.
They grow up so fast. What a cute picture!
I think it's the hair that makes her look so much older! Cuties.
Yes – her hair has always been so thick and beautiful. I really notice the change in her face — it is thinning out and she is losing the baby cheeks.
They keep growing up – yes, and beautifully!
What an adorable photo! Isn't it amazing how fast they grow? This week we are celebrating Magellan's first birthday at WW. We are still trying to wrap our heads around that!

The TCJA reduced some tax expenditure provisions, eliminated others, and introduced and expanded still others. In addition to these direct changes in tax expenditure provisions, an increase in the standard deduction and lower individual and corporate tax rates reduced the number of taxpayers using tax expenditure provisions and the value of the tax benefits they receive.
While the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) reduced overall federal receipts by about $1.5 trillion over 10 years, it did modestly reduce the net revenue cost of tax expenditures. Comparing the most recent Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) tax expenditure estimates to its last pre-TCJA estimates, the sum of the revenue losses for all tax expenditures for fiscal years 2018–20 (the years for which both JCT studies provide estimates) declined from $5.0 trillion to $4.5 trillion. (The total revenue losses from tax expenditures do not exactly equal the sum of losses from each provision because of interactions among the provisions, but studies by the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center have shown that the simple sum of revenue losses from separate provisions is a reasonably good approximation of the revenue loss of tax expenditures including these interactions.)
The TCJA eliminated and reduced some tax expenditures while introducing some new ones and increasing some existing ones. In addition, interactions between tax expenditures and changes in the law affected the number of taxpayers who benefit from tax expenditure provisions and the value of benefits they receive. The most important of these indirect effects comes from lower individual and corporate income tax rates, which reduce the value of many tax expenditures, and the increase in the standard deduction which reduces tax benefits from itemized deductions.
The tax expenditures that decline the most in fiscal years 2018–20 are the deduction of nonbusiness state and local income and property taxes, replacement of deferral by a reduced tax rate on the active income of controlled foreign corporations, deductions for mortgage interest on owner-occupied residences, subsidies for insurance purchased through health benefit exchanges, expensing of business depreciable property for small businesses under section 179, and the deduction for income attributable to domestic production activities (table 1).
The existing tax expenditures that increase the most are the credit for children and other dependents and depreciation of equipment in excess of the alternative depreciation system. The largest new tax expenditure is a 20 percent deduction for qualified business income (table 1).
Direct changes in tax expenditures
Most of the tax expenditures eliminated by TCJA were small. The principal exception is the deduction attributable to domestic production activities ($62 billion in 2018–20), which was 9 percent of taxable business income. (For large corporations, this was equivalent to a cut in the tax rate on profits from domestic production from 35 to 31.9 percent.) With the lower corporate tax rate, Congress believed this deduction was no longer needed to reduce the tax burden on domestic manufacturing.
TCJA raised much more revenue from reducing several large tax expenditures instead of eliminating them. It reduced the value of the nonbusiness state and local income, sales, and property tax deductions in fiscal years 2018–20 to less than one-quarter its former cost. This resulted from a combination of changes: a $10,000 cap on the amount of taxes taxpayers could claim as a deduction; an increase in the standard deduction and reductions in other itemized deductions, which reduced the number of taxpayers claiming the deduction; and modestly lower individual income tax rates, which reduced the tax saving for taxpayers who claim it.
International provisions in the TCJA also reduced tax expenditures. The replacement of deferral of the profits of controlled foreign corporations until repatriation with a reduced tax rate on intangible profits accrued in low-tax countries will reduce tax expenditures in 2018–20 by $147 billion. JCT previously scored deferral as costing $365 billion over the three-year period, while the estimated revenue loss from the reduced tax rate on accrued profits (10.5 percent instead of 21 percent) is $218 billion.
The largest expansions were for the child credit and depreciation of equipment by businesses. The child tax credit was roughly doubled from a bit more than $1,000 to $2,000 per child. TCJA introduced a new $500 credit for dependents and other children receiving the regular child tax credit, it increased the income levels at which the credit phases out, and it increased the amount of the credit that could be refunded. These changes raised the 2018–20 revenue loss from the child credit by $187 billion.
The largest new tax expenditure, the 20 percent deduction for qualified business income received by owners of pass-through businesses (sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies, and subchapter S corporations), effectively reduces the top rate on qualified business income from 37 percent to 29.8 percent.
On the business side, the largest change was the enactment of 100 percent bonus depreciation for five years beginning in 2018 (and then phasing out at 20 percent per year beginning in 2023). Bonus depreciation raised the cost of depreciation of equipment in excess of the alternative depreciation system (JCT's view of depreciation rules under the baseline income tax) by $174 billion between 2018 and 2020.
Indirect effects on the cost of tax expenditures
Lower marginal tax rates reduce the cost of tax expenditures that take the form of exclusions and deductions, because reducing taxable income provides smaller tax benefits at lower rates. TCJA modestly reduced the value of many individual tax expenditures by reducing the individual rate schedule from rates ranging from 10 to 39.6 percent to rates ranging from 10 to 37 percent.
The decline in the top corporate tax rate from 35 to 21 percent was much larger than the cut in the marginal individual rates. Most corporate tax expenditures are small, however, so the corporate rate cut per se did not change their total cost very much. Changes in what were the three largest corporate tax expenditures before the TCJA (deferral of income accrued in controlled foreign corporations, depreciation in excess of the alternative depreciation system, and the domestic manufacturing deduction) were largely or wholly the result of other changes in the legislation (replacement of deferral with a minimum tax on intangible income in low tax-countries, expensing of investment in equipment, and elimination of the domestic manufacturing deduction).
Other provisions of the legislation also had significant indirect effects on selected tax expenditures. The increase in the standard deduction significantly reduced the value of itemized deductions, which benefit taxpayers only to the extent that their sum exceeds the standard deduction. And the cap on the state and local deduction reduced the value of other itemized deductions, by also reducing the amount by which itemized deductions exceed the standard deduction.
For example, the cost of the mortgage interest deduction declined from $234 billion to $112 billion. Only a small portion of this decline came from the direct provisions affecting mortgage interest—the reduced ceiling on the size of new mortgages eligible for the deduction from $1 million to $750,000 and elimination of the deduction for up to $100,000 of home equity loans. Most of the saving is instead an indirect effect of the increase in the standard deduction, the $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions, and lower marginal tax rates. The same indirect effects will reduce the cost of charitable deductions (other than for education and health) from $142 billion to $110 billion.
Indirect effects also reduced other tax expenditures. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the elimination of the penalty tax on individuals without health insurance coverage will reduce the take-up rate for health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act exchanges. The resulting reduction in coverage will reduce tax subsidies paid out by the exchanges by about $80 billion between 2018 and 2020. On the business side, the tax expenditure for small business expensing under section 179 will decline from about $100 billion to about $40 billion between 2018 and 2020, even though the amount of deductions taken was made more generous. The tax expenditure declines because with bonus depreciation in place, the additional benefit of allowing expensing under section 179 is much less than it would have been without bonus depreciation.

Your home is your castle, and for most people it is the largest investment they will ever make. The majority of the flooring in a home is covered in carpeting. Over the years this carpeting takes abuse and simply needs to be cleaned. If you're like most home owners, you want clean carpeting, but don't want the headaches of doing it yourself. Whether you are a busy professional or simply planning your next party, having your carpets professionally cleaned is a stress-free way of rejuvenating your floors quickly and affordably.
Our residential carpet cleaning crews have been helping homeowners, apartment dwellers, and real-estate professionals throughout Southeastern Wisconsin and Madison get back to enjoying their carpeting for more than 25 years. Our team of IICRC certified carpet cleaning technicians have been trained in professionalism, as well as our excellent cleaning process.
From vacuuming and spot treatment to carpet pre-conditioning, our proven process ensures your carpets are deep cleaned and revitalized.
Our residential carpet cleaning services are backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
It's tempting to rent a carpet cleaning machine and try to clean your carpets yourself. Unfortunately, this is a labor intensive process that simply doesn't work well and can void the manufacturer's warranty. These units just don't have the pressure or vacuum power to do the deep down cleaning you deserve. Additionally, the carpet cleaning chemicals available on the store shelves do not offer the same penetrating power as professional carpet cleaning solutions.
Replacing your carpeting is expensive, time consuming, and disruptive. Don't replace your carpets, deep clean them instead. Our in-depth residential carpet cleaning process will leave your carpets revitalized and looking like new at a fraction of the cost of replacing your carpets.
Call us today for a free estimate on having your residential carpets cleaned. We look forward to serving you and bringing significant ease to your life!


After eight weeks away, more or less, Risa is en route home. She's writing this from the train station in Washington, DC. A very busy place. She knows she's moved a long way north overnight, because the temperature was about 80 (F) when she clambered about the Silver Meteor, and here her thousands of fellow travelers are bundled up against an October snowstorm that is assailing many of their destinations.
She's heard she will be lifting potatoes, cutting cornstalks and sunflower stalks, spreading cardboard for the next potato patch, and doing repairs, repairs, repairs. In the rain. In the rain. In the rain. She can hardly wait. She's seen enough SUVs and superstores to last any sane person several lifetimes.
Risa continues to walk in an effort to stay out of trouble (with her waistline, among other things) and write (she's working on a treeplanter's memoir). She has tickets for a journey home, though, things in Florida being as they are, she doesn't know for how long.
Beloved is holding down the fort with help, but the farm, except for the poultry, isn't making it onto a lot of the chore lists -- tomato vines, cornstalks, sunchoke and sunflower stalks are still standing, and the potatoes haven't been lifted. Also, Risa's wholesale food club has had to skip two months.
While looking it over, she mused on agricultural culture, so to speak: the round bales give evidence of the presence of one or more very large balers, which are a sign of dependence on petroleum-based (and coal-fired or nuclear electricity-based) industries and transportation, with paved roads and all that goes with that. So, it's thought of as a bucolic rural scene, but in terms of the drain-down of resources and the production of pollutants, this might as well be downtown New York City.
On the phone to her son last night, she shared some of her thoughts, remembering an article she had seen about Europe's economic unravelings -- that the troubles are erupting in those countries that basically have no oil of their own, but whose citizens want the same lifestyle as those of countries that do have oil.
Just so we know where we stand. Most people in the world actually live this way, though advertising and other media are clamoring to give them aspiration they, and we, would have been better off without. There is the checkbook you're used to balancing, and there is the one which throws in the ignored costs. Your ultimate banker is Mother Nature.
And your grandkids are gonna need a helluva bailout.
Son listens to the rant, then points out: "In the country you get to do a lot of cool stuff but you make a lot of carbon emissions coming into town. Me, I'm rice and veggies and a bicycle. Middle class lifestyle on next to nothing, just for not having a car."
"Yes," says Risa, " well, somebody has to practice what I preach."
Four days of rain and wind, and even a few fatalities; Risa does not remember Eastern weather being this exciting but apparently the new normal is as advertised. She has been cooking, eating, driving her mom to the grocery store, and cooking and eating, and the weather is her latest excuse for stumping around on her walks like an old elephant Carrying a walking stick, no less.
During a break in the weather, she attended a birthday party for a couple of old Marines and got to eat without being the one doing the cooking, as well as listen to harrowing tales of Korea and Vietnam. The canal was very still and pretty, but a bit too civilized; gators that try to colonize it are usually disposed of in the interests of the hundreds of small-breed dogs that live in the vicinity.
The neighborhood is very pretty, but there is a lot of wear around the edges. Many houses are no longer occupied; about half of these wear half-hearted "for sale" signs year after year, and the weeds become an issue as they can harbor enormous Eastern Diamondback rattlers. The snakes are beneficial; they live on pesky squirrels, rats and armadillos, but stepping on one can be problematical.
It's not an urban area, which is hard for Risa to realize as it's very high density for what she thinks of as rural. With practice, she has come to regard herself as immured in a wild area, peppered with rattlers, wild pigs, bears, and other interesting things, but also with a high population of of socially maladjusted young males. She's cultivating the old Marines for added security; to a man, they are what in former times were called gentlemen.
Karen Rutledge had grown up in seclusion from a devastated world. But now she was alone in the open to face the unknown. Would she find a place among those seeking to rebuild civilization? This second edition contains the novels These Will I Bring, Abide the Fire, and Bright in the Skies in one volume.
Risa is in Florida assisting her parents. Twice a day, to keep herself mentally and physically healthy, she walks through the retirement park to the river and back, a distance of just under six miles a day. There is a dock at the turnaround point, and sometimes there is a heron there to greet her.
The park's not unattractive, and there are live oaks with Spanish moss along almost the entire route. She dresses in white, with a white hat, and ambles along at a reasonable pace, using a favorite cane so as not to build up too much fluid on her left knee. She carries water. The hottest day last week was 98F, so the walks are very early and very late. She thinks about Dogen as she walks, who said "You must let fall (release) body and mind." Curbing one's expectations while retaining one's courage and perseverance is key.
Most people remain indoors in this park, watching television. It is a waiting place, with a hint of sadness. But sometimes some step out to visit neighbors. As Risa passes by, they turn and wave.

There are many immortal song lyrics but, for someone who lived through the 80's, few can trump The Clash's iconic "Should I stay or should I go?" anthem.
Strangely those lyrics rang through my head as I read about the terrible aftermath of the garment building collapse in Bangladesh. Over 400 killed, dozens still missing and a population rightfully boiling over at government ineptitude and mass corruption.
Many of the Western retailers who used these facilities to manufacture dirt-cheap clothing are in crisis control mode. Benefit funds are being set up for survivors and their families, supply chain experts and lawyers are reviewing their governance policies and social media is having a field day. The same pundits who likely never questioned how a shirt at Primark in the UK or Loblaws in Canada could really cost under $10 are now righteously indignant. Many are probably the same folks who never questioned if their $5 Sunday roast was Sirloin or Shergar.
All these reactions are entirely appropriate though.
If competitive pressures have driven you to find the lowest-cost-per-unit source on the planet, it doesn't absolve you of accountability. Regardless of whether your customers couldn't find Bangladesh on the map, you still owe those workers, YOUR workers, the same rights & standards of safety as the folks down the hall at HQ.
My question is what now?
This week Walt Disney elected to go.
Others are electing to stay but are doubling down on efforts to ensure "this kinda tragedy never happens again". Noble sentiment but, cynically, I wonder what they could've proactively done before this happened.
Having grown up in Southern Africa in the 70's and 80's this question is even more personal for me. In the 70's and 80's hundreds of organizations left South Africa in boycott of the torrid politics of apartheid.
They were entirely justified doing so. No-one can argue the lighter side of apartheid.
And many companies freely elected to not financially support apartheid by paying wages and taxes to a government system they – and more importantly their customers and shareholders – abhorred.
However several companies did stay.
And, strangely the one's that stayed garnered a significant level of loyalty for bucking the common, populist trend.
For the direct jobs that inevitably disappear along with Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck, what about all the infrastructure that those jobs and facilities create? What is going to replace the income of a family that used to make those infamous $10 shirts?
For those manufacturers that stay, do they believe they can create enough oversight and review measures to change a systemic level of corner-cutting and government corruption? An embedded system that turns a blind eye to the welfare of their poorest citizens? Are those manufacturers prepared to increase their cost base just to bring all these facilities up to Western safety standards? Are you prepared to absorb those cost increases?
Two months from now are you going to applaud those companies who left Bangladesh because of it's pitiful safety record…or are you going to moan on Facebook that your latest shirt now cost you $15?
We can all demand higher levels of Corporate Social Responsibility…but, there's also Individual Social Responsibility too.
About the Author: An insatiable curiosity is my defining characteristic. Which is probably why I got into advertising over 14 years ago. I know it ain't a real job in comparison to say, a fireman or a nuclear physicist but hey. Anyway, along the way I've developed an opinion on a coupla things. This blog allows me to air a few of those opinions and thoughts. I thank you for your visit and welcome your feedback.

Chiquitin
Fiery rays seemed to split the day asunder, while noisy raindrops pounded on this adoptive land which reached out to us, while causing those ill prepared to suffer its sometimes effects to flee.
The main entrance door was slightly ajar where the security guards grouped in a little surveillance hut, located to the side of the enormous prison building; it was under these circumstances that Chiquitin, an old mongrel dog soaked by the rain and terrified by the thunder, silently entered the Political Prisoners Section, without anyone noticing or restraining him.
Finding himself inside the prison precincts, he began sniffing around in search of food and was well received by the inmates: some called him by various names, while others tried to grab him in order to pet him but he behaved fearfully, never having received this kind of attention in the past; still others proffered food, such as dried fish, to him. He ate everything and managed to finally sate his canine voracity while remaining at a prudent distance. We were all cheered by the first such unusual visit in years: but night inevitably fell, when the screws began to lock all the barred gates in the different sections and Chiquitin, as we baptized him, remained trapped as one more prisoner in the concentric structure of this enormous and sinister place.
Hours passed and when most of the inmates were asleep, suddenly the dog began to bark and to race desperately up and down all the corridors in the section, letting out a succession of heart-rending howls. This continued until he finally stopped at the barred front gate, unleashing a lacerating cry that tore us all apart. There was nothing for us to do but call on the guards stationed outside to put the hound out on the street so that we could all get some sleep.
And so it was, the head security guard gave the starting order for the inmates to call the screws with one voice; after a few minuted of loud and repeated yelling, they all came rushing in, convinced there was some medical emergency. They were greatly surprised to learn that they had been summoned to liberate a dog and could find no way at all of explaining how it had succeeded in penetrating somewhere normally inaccessible to any human, given the panoply of safety measures on which the most secure prison in the country depended.
The prisoners were moved by the dogs behaviour; nobody spoke afterwards – and the silence was eloquent. That night many of the inmates dreamed of Liberty. I was among them.

Prothrombin Complex Concentrates in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery: The Current State and the Future
Elena Ashikhmina, Sameh Said, Mark M. Smith, Vilmarie Rodriguez, William C. Oliver, Gregory A. Nuttall, Joseph A. Dearani, Hartzell V. Schaff
Background After decades of practice of pediatric cardiac surgery, postoperative bleeding due to the immaturity of hemostasis, hemodilution, and hypothermia remains a concern. Recently, a new approach for adult coagulopathy after bypass has emerged. Prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs), designed to treat bleeding in hemophilia patients, are safely and efficiently used off label for hemorrhage after bypass. However, optimal dosing, indications and contraindications, and laboratory tests to assess the efficacy of PCC use in children have not yet been established. This literature review outlines the challenges of bypass-related coagulopathy, the pharmacology, and the experience in use of PCCs, with a focus on their potential in pediatric cardiac surgery. Methods After a thorough literature search of MEDLINE, Scopus, and Ovid databases using the term "prothrombin complex concentrate AND pediatric," 23 relevant articles were selected. Results The data supporting successful use of PCCs in acquired coagulopathy after cardiac surgery in adults have been increasing. Although small volume, low immunogenicity, efficiency, and speed in correcting coagulopathy are attractive qualities of PCCs for pediatric practice, current evidence is only anecdotal. The main concerns are unknown dosing regimens, the inability to closely monitor the effects of PCCs in real time, and a possibility of thrombotic complications, which can be particularly devastating in young congenital cardiac patients whose lives frequently depend upon the patency of artificial shunts. Conclusions Extensive, high-quality research is warranted to fill in the gaps of knowledge regarding using PCCs in pediatric cardiac practice.

Accuracy of COVID-19 Antibody Tests Varies Widely
September 26, 2020 user	0 Comments
By Robert Preidt
THURSDAY, Sept. 24, 2020 (HealthDay News) — Wide variation exists in the accuracy of commercial testing kits that check for antibodies against the new coronavirus, researchers say.
Antibody tests can determine whether someone has had the virus in the past. For diagnosis at a later stage of illness or in cases of delayed-onset, antibody tests could also be an important part of hospital diagnosis, the study authors said in the new report.
For the study, the researchers developed their own antibody test. They then used it to compare the performance of 10 commercial antibody test kits on an identical panel of 110 positive blood samples from hospitalized COVID-19 patients, and 50 pre-pandemic coronavirus-negative blood samples.
The findings were published online Sept. 24 in the journal PLOS Pathogens.
"We found that some of the quick single-use kits are as accurate as our sophisticated laboratory technologies," study co-author Jonathan Edgeworth said in a journal news release. He's with Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust in the United Kingdom.
There was a wide range of accuracy among the tests. Specificity — the ability to correctly identify those without the disease — ranged from 82% to 100%. Overall sensitivity — the ability to correctly identify those with the disease — ranged from 61% to 87%.
All of the tests gave the best results when used 20 days or more after the start of symptoms, with most tests achieving sensitivity value greater than 95%, the researchers said.
The investigators also found that antibody levels were higher in patients with severe illness than in those with mild or no symptoms.

I like this guy in my class and I don't know if he likes me. He try's to make me laugh in class and I think he tried to make me jealous. He asked this girl out in front of me and his friends and she said sure. I got so mad. Does he like me?
Lia Tan answered
Trying to make someone jealous is a very normal thing to do when you like them. But what he did was going a bit too far. Asking someone else out in front of you crossed the line because now it directly involves the feelings of another person. If he just wanted you to be jealous, he should've just flirted with other girls in front of you. No harm can really be done there because if he truly did like you, he doesn't have to give any explanation to the girls he flirted with. But since he asked out that girl, he'll have to explain to her that asking her out was just a fluke if it turns out that he does like you. Either that or he'll randomly dump her and then start dating you which makes him a jerk since he wasn't considerate of the other girl's feelings.
So whether he likes you or not, this guy isn't worth it. If he doesn't like you, then that whole thing with him asking out that girl shouldn't mean anything to you anymore. But if it turned out that he did like you, him crossing the line should prove that he's an immature guy who doesn't really know the true meaning of consequences nor is he a considerate person. It just makes him look like an inconsiderate, impulsive guy who could literally do something pretty drastic without anyone seeing it coming and without thinking of the people involved. It may seem fun to have a guy like that as a boyfriend but in practice, it's not fun. He may randomly break up with you all of sudden and he won't even bother to tell you why. When that happens, it's no longer fun. It's actually pretty darn painful.
That's why just forget about this guy. I know it's going to be hard since you like him but he's honestly not worth your time and energy. If a guy wants to be with you, he should at least have some class and not do something so ridiculous and inconsiderate. Yeah, people can be stupid sometimes but, to put things harshly, do you really want someone who is that stupid?
Okay, so I like this guy and he asked me (on Fb) to make out with him but I'm so scared of it. He made out with tons of girls and I made out with one guy and I'm so insecure in my "skills". I don't know what to do. I'm gonna see him in class tomorrow. What should I do?
well firstly , even though you like him a lot and all but if he really just asked you to make out with...
A girl asked this guy I like if we talk and he said "yea something like that". What does he mean? Does he like me or what? And when he said that, he was mad at me in that moment!
I wouldn't think too much on it. What guys say tend to be pretty straight forward without much hidden...
Okay so there is this guy in my gym class, and he acts like he likes me in that class, but outside of there around his friends he acts like I don't even exist.. What do I do?
I think you should ask him why he avoids you :0 because if he really did love you he wouldn't be afraid...
My crush knows I like him. But, like nearly all the girls love him! He makes me laugh a lot, hangs with me, my BFF and his BFF! He always tries to sit next to me, and teases me friendly! He hasn't told me if he likes me back or not! Does he like me?
Whatever you do, don't pressure him into an answer as guys hate being put on the spot and it would chase...
I like this guy in my class and I don't know if he likes me back. Mostly he starts a conversation with me or laughs at my jokes. But other times he can be a bit "not in the mood" type thing. He is usually ok and I really like him. what should I do?
Hey there :) these kinda things are frustrating , whether your crush likes you or not? , many people...
So I like this guy, he is always texting me. I ask him to walk to the bus with me and he does. When I am upset he gives me hugs. He does some of these things with other girls so I can't tell if he likes me or if he is just being really friendly... What do you think?
Try to read into his actions more. Does he do anything that singles you out as special compared...
This guy and I were friends before and during the summer I liked him but I don't know if he likes me back. We used to talk all lot and tell each other everything but now in school he acts all weird with me. Is he mad at me? Does he think I am annoying?
Did you say some thing annoying the last time you met for him to get mad at you?...
What do I do? Any help? (Read below)
So a guy I've been seeing recently cut me off after like 8 months of talking and knowing each other. I really miss him and I want him back but he blocked me on everything and hasn't read any of my messages and refuses to reply. What happened?
So I accused him of talking to other girls (I did this more than once) and he got angry and really mad and he said he'd had enough of me constantly creating arguments and not trusting him... Fair enough I knew I was wrong but I had my reasons. So right after I tried to apologise but it was too late because he already blocked me! Like that quick! He didn't even let me explain, he didn't even give me an explanation why, he just left without saying a word and it hurts like crazy and I miss him so badly and I would do anything to get him back but he's so mad. I just want closure , even if he said 'goodbye' I wouldn't be hurting so much bt he said nothing. He kinda just left... Obviously he said he couldn't be bothered with me right now but I didn't think he meant he would leave. What do I do? It's been just over a week and I'm scared he won't come back. How can he just pretend I no longer exist to him? :( Really heart-broken!

I'm wondering if my crush likes me. We played this b-ball game, I was on his team. He said if I get it in the net he's gonna hug me. I didn't get it in & he always looks at me. We sit together in class and he asked stuff about me. Do you think he likes me?
He mightHe might not...
my crush he often sees and avoids me, he always ask his friends i have to go behind him or I see him, he smiles when he sees I smile with my friends, he angry when I go with another guys. When another girls touch him and him know I over there, he will avoid them touches and see me. But yesterday I tried text to him. When we text he always try he doesn't me but actually he know me. I said text to him so boring so he was angry with me and he said he felt sarcastic cause he know who I am. He was angry because I used fake accountto text with him and he thinked I always wating him in last stair in school ( actually I was just waiting my friends ). He said he knew because his firends and gf told him ( he said he had gf but I see them doesn't kiss, hug, or hold hands, they lways has gap with each other and I asked his friends she said she know don't know him have gf too). He said he felt confuse when I do like that and he cannot explain for me why. Then I screenshot and he said he cannot believe me because I took screenshot and he blocked me. He said with my friend he liked my but he won't dating with me. So why he were rude to me, try don't know me, angry when I just see him and used fake account text with him although he can sees me, smile when he saw I smile with my friends, he angry when I went with another guys,......??? Can you tell me what does he mean when he do all that???
Update: he said he have gf but when I ask him he didn't reply and I didn't following her on instagram and I don't know why he just blocked me on snapchat but instagram don't and when we chat on snapchat when I said he text so boring but he still try text with me. And he always save what he text with me but another people he doesn't do like that
Well that made absolutely no sense....

I dreamed again about this girl that I like. It was a dream this time instead of a nightmare. We were walking on this beach, which never seemed to end, looking out at the ocean which went on forever. What sort of symbolism does this dream have?

A: Most programs use the environment variable TMPDIR, and fall back to /tmp if there isn't enough room there.
TMPDIR=/var/tmp ./jdev_suite_121200_linux64.bin

If the program has /tmp hardcoded, you can make /tmp larger.
mount -o remount,size=4g /tmp
