Q: jQuery just not working For some reason my jQuery script just doesn't want to work, and it's really really simple, I've taken everything away except the actual jquery script, it's really annoying please help.
Thank you!
 <!doctype html>

        Button

P.S. jQuery JS file is valid.

A: Change your code to this. It ensures that the JavaScript is executed once all your HTML elements have been loaded to the page:
$(document).ready(function () {
   $("#click").click(function() {
      alert("works!");
   });
});

However, you should move your script tags to the bottom of the page, to ensure that they do not block. This will also mean you don't actually need the $(document).ready callback.

A: You need to wrap your code within
$(function(){
    // your code here which relies on DOM elements
});

Otherwise you DOM has not been loaded and events will not be bound to elements.

A: Wrap your functions into the $(document).ready()
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#click").click(function() {
        alert("works!");
    });
});

A: Add your code inside document.ready like this
$(document).ready(function () {
  $("#click").click(function () {
       alert("works!");
   });
});

or add your code at the end of the document like this

   Button
   // Other elements...

A: $(document).ready(function(e) {
//TO DO  your code goes here
});

A: Just change your script tag to the "/body" tag.
That will let the browser create the DOM and read script's one by one!
Cheers!

A: Try this:
$("#click").live("click",function() {
    alert("works!");
});

Pinion, Minnesota: a metropolis of all of seven hundred souls, for which the word �moribund� might have been invented. Nothing ever happened there and nothing ever would�until the mayor of sorts (campaign slogan: �I�ll Do What I Can�) and a buddy come up with a scheme to put Pinion on the map. They�d heard of a place where a floating image of the Virgin Mary had turned the whole town into a shrine, attracting thousands of pilgrims. And all those pilgrims needed food, shelter, all kinds of crazy things, right? They�d all get rich! What could go wrong?
When the dead body shows up, they find out, and that�s only the beginning of their troubles�and Virgil Flowers��as they are all about to discover all too soon.


TOP 5 best and most expensive gulet ships. TOP 5 best and most expensive gulet ships.

Jag Panzer - Casting the Stones
Heavy / Power Metal
Jag Panzer, Century Media
Reviewed by Mike
Colorado based Jag Panzer is back with their first effort since 2001's Mechanized Warfare. Ever since the band reformed with Harry Conklin in 1997 with the release of The Fourth Judgment, Jag Panzer have consistently released very good traditional heavy / power metal albums. Casting the Stones is no exception. While the disc takes a few more spins to absorb, it is well worth the Jag Panzer name and is a worthy acquisition for fans of the band and power/heavy metal fans alike.
Casting the Stones uses more progressive elements than we have heard from Jag Panzer in the past. Additionally, Casting the Stones is also a very diverse album, so I will pay special attention to individual songs on this album to really give you an idea of what Casting the Stones is all about; general descriptions just can't do this album justice.
From the onset of the album, you can hear a difference in sound with the opening track, Feast or Famine. Subtle use of keyboards coupled with a more technical sounding (particularly the rhythm section), yet powerful assault greet the listener with full force.
The Mission is up next and is a much more familiar sounding Jag Panzer track. Galloping riffs supported by a thick bass presence and soaring, sing along chorus lines will surely make this a great live track. This is one of the more memorable tracks of the album.
Moving right along, Vigilant is a mid paced, Dream Evil era Dio like tune with masterful duel guitar work form Briody and Broderick. Rikard Stjernquist is a beast behind the drumkit, keeping things completely unpredictable throughout the song with his intricate and varied drum work. There's also an eerie sounding keyboard break in the middle of the song that adds a nice touch. From these first three tracks, I know that Casting the Stones will be a diverse, yet uncompromisingly Jag Panzer album.
Achilles is an unusually short song, clocking in at 2:45. However, it is effective despite its length, jumping on me instantly just like The Mission. A melodic guitar lick ala Iron Maiden gets things started. From there, the song is carried by a haunting groove backed by a very deliberate sounding rhythm section and atmospheric keyboard textures.
Tempest is another example of Jag Panzer's journey further into the progressive realm of music. The song starts with lightning fast, razor sharp riffs backed again by Stjernquist's tight and efficient drumming. An acoustic break in the middle of the song gives way to a ripping, technical solo. This song also features several time changes and soaring vocals from "The Tyrant." Tempest also sees some more prevalent use of the keyboards in certain spots.
Legion Immortal is mid tempo (well, the faster end of mid tempo) track, yet sounds heavy as hell thanks to a very forceful bass presence and staccato style riffing. The chorus lines feature classic soaring vocals at their best from Conklin, although I feel the central melody could have been stronger in order to make this a killer track. Nonetheless, another fine solo combined with the aforementioned make this a good, but not necessarily great track.
Battered and Bruised is another powerful track, yet lacks something special to enable it to stand out. There's nothing special about the chorus or melodies, yet a varied mid section prevents the song from falling into mediocrity. Furthermore, this track does not boast a distinctive solo or pounding rhythm like so much other material offered on this album. Not a bad track, but nothing memorable either.
Unfortunately, Cold doesn't up the ante from the previous track This is a mid tempo cut the contains a downright flat chorus, with the song itself being rather anticlimactic. When compared to some of the progressive and technical sounding material earlier on the album, Cold just sounds so simple and uninteresting by comparison.
Starlight's Fury is mid tempo track bordering on power metal, but this time it's a good song. The guitar work is again complex and technical, very "progressive power metal" in its vibe. Some nice guitar shredding and unexpected time changes make this an interesting number. Again, a powerful bass presence gives this song a big punch, and Conklin's soaring vocals throughout are a highlight. Some light use of keyboards are strategically used to enhance the atmosphere in parts.
The Harkening features more intricate drum work and staccato, almost thrashy sounding riffing. The rhythm section as a whole puts forth a very detailed performance on this track. This is one of those tracks in particular that will take a few listens to absorb. Musically speaking, there is a lot to take in, and I enjoy hearing all these intricate ingredients at work, but there isn't a catchy riff, solo, or chorus line to reel you in at first listen.
Precipice concludes the album with the most progressive sounding sound of the album yet. This epic song starts off as a moody mid tempo song, and then blisters into a frenzy of shredding, calming back down again toward the end. An Arabesque guitar tone during the second half of the song provides a really unique atmosphere.
As you can probably tell, Casting the Stones is a diverse Jag Panzer album. Although the songs in general have a more technical and progressive quality, they still retain that classic Jag Panzer sound. In all likelihood, it will take a few extra spins to really grasp this album than Mechanized Warfare. I must take an opportunity to comment on the outstanding musical talent in this band. Harry Conklin's soaring, emotion packed delivery is as intense as always, an unmistakable voice in metal. The guitar duo of Mark Briody and Chris Broderick click together like a Swiss watch and the rhythm section is more than just a backdrop to the sound. John Tetley gives the songs an authoritative kick with his aggressive bass playing and Rikard Stjernquist refuses to deliver a single filler beat, always managing to keep things interesting and unpredictable. Although I feel this album falls a notch below Mechanized Warfare, this is still a very good album.

I'm sure many of you already read about Clazy. For those who didn't, it's a quite convenient tool for checking your code and making sure you're getting Qt's API right. There's some non-trivial quirks here and there that aren't very important but once polished can push your system considerably, especially on those cases that are ran repeatedly.
Recently, I introduced a -DENABLE_CLAZY=ON setting on extra-cmake-modules, that comes quite handy so if you want to run it on your project you just need to enable it and then Clazy will get rather verbose (although with arguably no false positives). It will work on any KDE project right away, since it comes from KDECMakeSettings.
Note: This will work provided clazy is installed and you're running Clang as a compiler.

Tucked into the steep hills that curl along the Farmington River, Collinsville is a funky little village boasting natural beauty, artsy charm, and an interesting past. What makes Collinsville really cool is the way contemporary artists, businesses, developers, and residents use old buildings for fresh purposes. The result is an eccentric town unlike any other, and Collinsville residents wouldn't have it any other way.
Collinsville was named for the once-world-famous Collins Axe Company. Since the factory closed in the mid-1960s, much of the space left behind has been creatively re-purposed as art studios, artisan workshops and an antiques emporium.
The Farmington River Trail winds through Collinsville. Follow it over this bridge for a walk or bike ridge along the gorgeous river.
The view of the river and old mill buildings is absolutely spectacular.
Rent a canoe, kayak, or paddleboard from Collinsville Canoe & Kayak for a different view.
The small but lively main drag is packed with interesting, locally-owned shops and restaurants. While the storefronts haven't changed much over the years, the businesses have evolved along with it.
Not all of Collinsville is exactly as it seems. Some of the historic buildings might look like they're two stories, but it's really just a facade.
Sit outside at LaSalle Market, Collinsville's go-to place for a casual lunch.
Lisa's Crown & Hammer Restaurant & Pub is housed inside Collinsville's old train station.
The Collinsville Artists Cooperative infuses the town with whimsy.
Horse-drawn carriage rides pay homage to the town's past.
Yoga classes in the street keep the town in the present.
Buy from local farms at Collinsville's weekly farmers market.
Collinsville may be an eccentric town, but there's something for everyone here. Whether you want to rent a canoe, ride a bike, view art, shop, take a yoga class, enjoy a concert, or just eat lunch, Collinsville has just what you're looking for. How would you spend a day in Collinsville? Share in the comments!

You will master the approaches and tools found in several academic disciplines, including cultural theory, history, visual studies, literature and politics. You will learn how to analyse and interpret a wide range of texts and materials, including historical documents, films, manuscript collections, literary works, visual and marketing campaigns, and musical works.
Years 1 and 2 will give you a wide knowledge of US political, legal, and administrative infrastructure, and will familiarise you with concepts such as:
racial stratification
the logics of policing
the changing nature of work and leisure
radical organising
military power
cultural imperialism
urban politics.
Upon returning to Manchester from your year abroad, you will be able to choose from an extensive range of advanced modules, while also completing a substantial piece of independent research.
provide a systematic introduction to key aspects of American literature, history, politics, and film, exploiting their interdependence and distinctiveness within the discipline of American Studies;

help you develop powers of critical thinking and analysis, the ability to apply these to primary and secondary texts, and advanced written and communication skills;
support you fully to study in the US or Canada for a full academic year at one of our North American partner universities.
You will study at a university in the US or Canada in Year 3. A list of exchange partners, and further information on the scheme is available on the American Studies Study Abroad page, as well as via the University's Study Abroad scheme.
In Year 1 and 2, you will learn through a combination of lectures, seminars, and small-group tutorials.
Lectures are used to sketch an outline of the major themes and questions, and often to examine the wider significance certain topics have had in society or among scholars.
Seminars usually involve groups of around 12 students, enabling you to discuss a particular text in detail, or to debate a specific subject or question.
To benefit from lectures and seminars you will spend a good amount of time preparing through reading, taking notes, and drafting and writing essays.
On some units, students are also taught in regular tutorials, which are small tutor-led sessions, and are used to discuss a draft of an essay, or provide feedback on work already submitted.
Several final-year course units are also taught through a weekly workshop model, in which students work collaboratively with each other on a research project, assignment, or presentation.
Your degree is completed by your final-year dissertation, which is undertaken under the supervision of a specialist, and will allow you to carry out independent research and produce an extended piece of writing.

Today, Friday 15th of April, the four Majorcans expeditionary, Tolo Calafat, Juan Antonio Olivieri, Tolo Quetglas and Jose Maria Alvarez, are from Wednesday in the Base Camp, where they dedicated part of the yesterday�s day to inspecting the material whose the Sherpas will transport to Camp I and II. From the Base Camp to the Everest there are about 3,500 meters of unevenness and for this reason Sherpas will help the Majorcans expeditionary to load the stores, the furnaces, the coats, the food, oxygen, etc. of the different camps; a total of four until the South Col, to 8,100 meters on the level of the sea. Tomorrow the group will spend the night over the Khumbu �s cascade of ice, to 5,900 meters, the following day to continue until Camp II and to quickly lower to the Base Camp.
Yesterday, like outstanding point, we must make reference to the ceremony celebrated by the Pengboche�s Lama, loaded of plagiaries and blessings, to ensure the success of this adventure.


"Vita Fidei" is our large group meeting every Wednesday night at 7:30 in the Plant Science Building Rm. 233, although the location is subject to change. "Vita Fidei" is Latin for "Life of Faith," and it is the life of faith that we wish to live and exemplify in our large group meetings. Vita, underscored with the grace and love God has shown and we get to show each other, builds each other up with worship, bible-based teachings by renowned speakers, and fellowship. Come join us-newcomers are always welcome!

Wal-Mart's Merchant Customer Exchange vs. Google Wallet: Who Will You Bet On?
Reuters tells us that Wal-Mart's newly-announced mobile wallet project is winning the endorsements of a growing number of large merchants, precisely the type of retailers Google is hoping to attract for its own digital wallet service. Merchant Customer Exchange (MCX), as Wal-Mart's m-wallet initiative is called (can someone please help the merchants come up with something less clunky for a name?) is not even two months old, but the rate at which it attracts participants should be worrying the search giant's executives. After all, how likely is it that, once their own wallet is fully functional and ready to be deployed, the retail giants will be willing to let competing services into their stores?
Google Wallet had had problems gaining traction even before MCX entered the industry. In fact, the search giant's m-wallet has been live for more than a year, but is yet to sign up a single big-box merchant. To make matters worse, anecdotal evidence suggests that smaller retailers that have signed up for the service are not really excited about it. One of them told us last week that in the eight months since they installed a point-of-sale device compatible with Google Wallet, no one has tried it. So things are not looking great for Google Wallet, and that may end up being an understatement.
When MCX was announced in mid-August, the collaborative project featured 14 merchants, including Best Buy, Lowe's, CVS, Shell, Sears, Target, 7-Eleven and Sunoco, in addition to Wal-Mart itself. Now that number has grown to 21 and the new additions include Gap, Bed Bath & Beyond, Dunkin' Brands Group Inc., Dillards Inc. and convenience store operator Sheetz Inc., Reuters tells us.
The founders of MCX hope the burgeoning membership, including some big-name retailers, could give mobile payment the critical mass it needs to take off.
It seems to me that MCX already has reached critical mass and it needs to begin rolling out its service.
Google Wallet was never able to gain any momentum, even though it had the market all for itself for a year before MCX was announced. And for a good reason: even today there are very few merchants, which have installed POS devices that are compatible with near-field communication (NFC) — the technology behind Google's (and MCX's, as far as we know) wallets. Moreover, there are only a handful of NFC-enabled smart phones and, famously, iPhone 5 is not one of them.
That lack of infrastructure has been, I think, the biggest obstacle to Google Wallet's progress and the reason the search giant has been unable to capitalize on the hugely bungled attempt of three of the largest U.S. mobile carriers to create a competing service. You may remember that when Isis, as that project is called, was first announced, it was supposed to become a fully-fledged payment network, to rival Visa and MasterCard. It took some time, but the carriers eventually did realize that what they were getting themselves into was somewhat more complicated than they thought and scaled back their ambitions, blaming regulation for their misfortune and opening up their wallet to all card networks in the process. And yet, two years after it was announced, Isis still exists only in the minds of its promoters. As I've said before, during that time, "Isis has managed to get a number of announcements broadcast by the media, even as most of them have been distinctly news-unworthy or just plain embarrassing".
And yet, Google, which has largely been spared of such embarrassments (with the exception of the quickly-fixed PIN security flaw), has been unable to benefit from its main competitor's mishaps.
So I think that at this point it's fair to say that Google Wallet is in trouble. I expect that, whenever MCX goes live, the participating merchants will do everything they can to block Google's wallet (and Isis, for that matter, if it ever goes live) from their checkout lanes, just as Verizon did with its customer accounts. And if Google can't get into the big retail chains, I doubt that it could ever reach the critical mass it needs to become viable. It is conceivable that in our hypothetical scenario the search giant would take legal actions to force the merchants to open up, but it's unclear how such a lawsuit would turn out and, in any case, it would be a protracted affair, by the end of which the merchants may have won the war. So there is a very good probability that Google Wallet will share the unhappy fate of the service it replaced — Google Checkout. And, for Wal-Mart at least, such an outcome would not come as a shock.

Thunder Bitch Action Weekend XV – live review

THUNDER BITCH ACTION WEEKEND XV
5th & 6th April, 2019
Sala BNS / Sala Black Bird
Thunder Bitch Action Weekend returned last weekend to Santander, Spain. Nathan Whittle was there to check out all that it had to offer as it celebrated its 15th edition.
Action Weekend has been a staple on the Santander music scene for the last decade and a half, shifting around the city to various venues over the year, but this year, to celebrate their 15th edition, the festival returned to BNS, a beach-side venue outside the centre of the city and in which the organisers had put together one of their best line-ups to date. As a festival that has always supported the local music scene, they kicked off proceedings on the Friday night with local band Ojo Pipa. The duo have not been performing for very long, but it didn't show as they powered through their blend of grungy psych garage. A simple set up of guitar, drums and vocals meant that there was no time to get lost in subtleties, but simply to crank up the distortion and let rip. They will definitely be ones to watch and got the night off to a great start as the audience slowly grew.
Up next was Juana Chicharro who, fresh from releasing her new single on FOLC Records, treated the crowd to her flamenco-styled rock 'n' roll. Her band drove the songs along as she whipped and whirled around the stage, drawing the audience in. It was a great spectacle and, along with her tight backing band, the blend of garage and flamenco really started to put everyone into the party spirit. Spending half the set on the floor with the adoring crowd, Juana, for 45 minutes, became the queen of the night. They were the perfect lead into King Salami & The Cumberland 3, who landed from London just half an hour before they took to the stage. They rocked through 45 minutes of jiving blues rock 'n' roll, twisting and shaking, and downing bottles of Thunder Bitch in the process. It seemed as though the liquor had found it's perfect spokesman as the King poured out shot after shot. By now their songs are well known on the circuit and when Pineapple Mama hit (the video for which was part filmed on their last visit to Santander) the crowd were jumping and worshipping at their feet and the adoring crowd were rewarded with some new tunes from their forthcoming album. After the band had wrapped up their set, there was only one final band of the opening night. After spending 14 hours crossing the entire country, including more than 4 hours stuck in a snow storm just north of Madrid, The Scaners would've been forgiven for simply going through the motions, but they had something to prove. After two weeks on the road and one hellish journey, the band launched into a brutal attack of gonzo synth space punk that had the audience bouncing off the walls. Tracks from their new album, such as Galactic Race, Spin Like A Record, and current single Please Abduct Me sent the crowd into a moshing frenzy. It was a sight of pure adrenalin and pumped everyone full of the energy to make it through to sun rise as the DJs spun on.
Saturday morning brought new promise. The forecast rain was nowhere to be seen as blue skies drenched the outdoor terrace of the Black Bird club in sunshine. Blurry eyes all around slowly opened as bodies dropped into deck chairs to gather forces for the onslaught of Las Jennys de Arroyoculebro, who were soundchecking in the venue beneath. DJs spun the signature Action Weekend mix of classic and modern garage, punk, and rock 'n' roll and the smell of the food to come filled the air as crate diggers hovered around the record fair. At 2pm Jenny and her band of guttertrash miscreants launched into a visceral confrontational attack of spitting punk. Jenny herself rarely made it to the stage, preferring to stalk the crowd and get right up into people's faces, that's to say when she made it to her feet. Those banking on a quiet afternoon to gather strength for the second night were in for a disappointment as she quite literally grabbed everyone by the seats of their pants and dragged them into the show. It was a spectacle of pure punk entertainment and one that will never be forgotten by those who witnessed it. As the terrace action wound up, the promised storm finally hit and drenched the city, but did nothing to dampen the spirits of the Action Weekend revellers who 2 hours later were back at the beach and once again filling up Sala BNS.
Saturday night kicked off with Action Weekend favourites, and almost family, Terrier. Up from Madrid again, the garage indie pop quartet's set drew heavily on their latest album, Algo Para Romper. They blasted through their set full of grins and smiles as the crowd sang almost every word back at them. Current songs La Constitución and Como Un Volcán lit up the venue as it quickly filled with a rain-soaked public ready to shake it off and spend the night partying once again. Early on it was clear that, although the previous night was an assured success, Saturday night was going to go off even more. And British freakbeat trio, The Embrooks, made sure of it! Touring their new record, We Who Are, they set the dancefloor on alight as the audience spent 45 minutes transfixed by their fiery 60's sound. Part Small Faces, part Byrds, and a huge part of fuzzed out garage rock, the band were on a roll in bringing their comeback tour to Santander. The audience lapped up every moment and demanded more and more. Following such a set is no mean feat, but Barcelona's Mujeres pulled out all stops to ramp up the already sweat-drenched room with their spikey, punchy art punk. Their first time back in the city since releasing last year's Un Sentimiento Importante album, their fans were chomping at the bit right from the start and the band certainly didn't disappoint them. And to round off the night, the unenviable task fell to France's Shaky Things. Rising from the ashes of Les Berberts, the band were largely unknown, but the organisers' idea of organising the bands on their strength and style rather than on popularity paid off at the garage revivalist trio kept the party going with a good blend of original songs and a dose of Nuggets-era classics, drawing the audience in their groove and setting the rest of the night up as the DJs took over through what remained of the night.
As the early morning joggers and dog walkers disturbed the morning sands, there was little residue of what had just happened. For one weekend, once again, Santander had played host to some of the most exciting bands on the underground garage/punk/rock 'n' roll circuit. Now all we can do is wait for edition 16 and hope that the impulse of this 15th year spurs forth to bigger things as the Action Weekend name spreads beyond the Cantabrian mountains.

Wind farms – another con?4 years ago
Wind farms – another con?
TONY Abbott's attack on the ugliness of wind farms, and their effects on the health of some who live near them, marks the first time the Prime Minister and I have been in agreement.
Kooragang island wind turbine power generator.
Abbott spoke against wind farms from personal experience after cycling on Rottnest Island.
His comments followed representations by independent Senators John Madigan, Nick Xenophon, Jacqui Lambi and David Leyonhjelm.
They have many stories of people living in a hell caused by the low frequency noise emissions from wind farms.
Abbott's comments triggered a barrage of letters from city folk living far from wind farms - hypocrites en masse. They wouldn't tolerate wind farms in national parks or on the windy cliffs of Sydney's coastline.
One University of Sydney professor, with no medical qualification, has been vocal in his denial of any effects on health caused by wind turbines.
He claimed they are only suffered by jealous, unpaid neighbours.
However, South Australian grazier Clive Gare, with 19 turbines on his property giving a million dollar income across five years, told the Senate inquiry the noise has been unbearable.
He was initially excited about hosting renewable energy, but now believed "towers should not be any closer than 5 kilometres to a dwelling".
"If we had to buy another property it would not be within a 20km of a wind farm," he said.
Wind farm company AGL has paid thousands to insulate the Gare property from the noise but hasn't succeeded.
Another professor from Sydney University, with a medical qualification, associate professor of neuroscience Simon Carlile, urges a proper examination of the effects of low frequency sound waves, and recognition that, like seasickness, they effect some but not all.
For 30 years there has been evidence of a causal link between impulsive infrasound and low frequency noise, and adverse effects on people.
Research by NASA established wind turbines could generate surprisingly high levels of infrasound and low frequency noise.
It is also clear that 10 to 15 per cent of the population is more sensitive to noise, including low frequency noise and infrasound.
Symptoms include chronic sleep deprivation, sinus pressure, tinnitus, and pains in the chest, headaches, nausea, and vertigo.
Germany's peak medical body asked its national government to halt construction of wind farms until a full study on their health effects was conducted.
The UK government recently announced it would cease subsidies to new wind farms, effective next April.
In 1999 the world was conned into changing their computers for the Y2K bug (which would have made the date 2000 indistinguishable from 1900) that never came.
We were conned by the US munitions industry with Saddam Hussein's "weapons of mass destruction".
We are now being conned by turbine manufacturers claiming to save the planet.
It's time for solar subsidies to Australian owners to be re-instated, now that battery storage has become viable.
Why are we subsidising overseas owners of ugly and inefficient wind turbines and increasing our power costs when Australia has an over-supply of electricity?
Why, if coal is so bad for the planet, are we still opening coal mines and sending vast quantities to China - isn't China on the same planet ? We are witnessing hypocrisy on a grand scale.

Q: Asynchronous threads drawing in Bitmaps Delphi If many asynchronous threads draw in a global TBitmap, it will rise me an error? Should I create my code using a critical section? (From my surf on the internet I found that the TBitmap.Draw is not thread safe)
Another question: If many synchronous threads draw in a global TBitmap and a VCL Timer read asynchronously the content from the TBitmap will this rise me an error?
Thanks!

A: Yes, you do need to protect the TBitmap from concurrent access across multiple threads.  A critical section is fine for serializing your drawing code, HOWEVER that is not enough by itself!  The main thread caches GDI resources and performs cleanup on them periodically, which will affect your TBitmap.  As such, you will ALSO need to Lock/Unlock() the TBitmap.Canvas whenever drawing/rendering to ensure the VCL does not rip out its resources behind your back.

A: Since your threads are all modifying the same bitmap, you need to serialize all access to that bitmap. That means reading its contents as well as writing to it.
Of course, this assumes that multiple threads drawing to a shared bitmap is the right solution to your problem. Without knowing what your actual problem is, I could not comment on that.
UPDATE
You must also use Lock/Unlock when drawing to the bitmap because of the issue described in Remy's answer. Which should be the accepted answer to this question.

A: Use monitors or semaphores to control your threads when they do changes in your TBitmap Pixels !

A: Can you use the TThread.Synchronize method instead?
http://docs.embarcadero.com/products/rad_studio/delphiAndcpp2009/HelpUpdate2/EN/html/delphivclwin32/Classes_TThread_Synchronize@TThread@TThreadMethod.html
According to the doco for TThread class

Following are issues and recommendations to be aware of when using threads:
Keeping track of too many threads consumes CPU time; the recommended limit is 16 active threads per process on single processor systems.
When multiple threads update the same resources, they must be synchronized to avoid conflicts.
Most methods that access an object and update a form must only be called from within the main thread or use a synchronization object such as TMultiReadExclusiveWriteSynchronizer.

Ifugao in a Nutshell; The descendants of Kabunyan
According to their oral tradition embodied in their myths, the Ifugao people are descendants of the deity, Kabunyan.
Dec 8, 2017 | 5 min read
Ifugao is one of the six provinces with the city of Baguio and Tabuk that compose the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR). The province is named after the ethnolinguistic group called Ifugao.
Originally, the people called themselves Ipugo, stressed in the last syllable, which is derived from Pugaw, meaning Earthworld. Ipugo, altered to Ifugao by outsiders, literally means earth man, mortal or human being, as distinguished from the deities and spirits that inhabit the different worlds in the Ifugao system of worship. These are Kabunyan (Skyworld), Dalom (Underworld), Daya (Western World), Lagud (Eastern World) and Pugaw (Earthworld).
A complete set of Ifugao ethnic attire for men usually used by the elite "kadangyan" Ifugaos
According to their oral tradition embodied in their myths, the Ifugao are descendants of beings from Kabunyan. Their first ancestors were Wigan and Bugan who had left Kabunyan and went down to live in Pah-adan, a place in Daya.
They later migrated to Pugaw where the soil was fertile and wild deer abounded. Near the west bank of the Ibulao River from across the Lagawe Valley, the couple set up the first human settlement and called the place Kiyangan.
A theory says that the Ifugao are descendants of a migrating people who had come to Ifugao from the western part of what is now Mt. Province, specifically Bauko and Tadian.
This theory is based on the following findings:
The similarity of the Ifugao and Kankana-ey languages.
The almost identical likeness of the architecture of the Ifugao bale type house in Ifugao and thepinolpoltan dwelling in Bauko.
The similar method of cloth-weaving, weaving designs and color schemes.
The presence of place, names in Bauko and Tadian in a number of Tuwali mythical narratives and chants.
The similarity of technologies and tools used in ricefield work.
With an area of 2,518 sq. kms., Ifugao province is made up of eleven municipalities. These are Aguinaldo, Asipulo, Banaue, Hingyon, Hungduan, Kiangan, Lamut, Lista, Mayoyao and Tinoc, with Lagawe as the capital.
The province may be divided into three distinct geographic regions based on climate and terrain. The eastern region, made up of Lamut and Lista, is a low-lying plateau with a warm climate. The middle region, with elevation of 1000 feet to 3000 above sea level, has a moderate climate. This is the area where extensive rice terraces are located.
The western and northern sections of the province, with elevation ranging from 3000 to over 6000 feet as above sea level, are the most rugged parts of the Cordillera mountain chain that stretches from Apayao in the north to Benguet in the south. This area of Ifugao has a cool climate especially in the months of November through February. This forested region is the headwater of the three large tributaries of the Magat River that irrigates the fields in Isabela and Quirino.
As of 1995, the population of Ifugao was 153,340 with a growth rate of 2.23%. Both figures could have been higher except that there is the steady out migration of hundreds of families to Quirino, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya and Baguio City starting in the early 1960s on to the 1970s and 1980s. The outward population movements were prompted by the need and desire of the migrating families to improve their living condition.
The Ifugao's "punnuk" (tug-of-war)
Starting in the mid-1700s, the Spaniards continually conducted military actions against the disparate Ifugao groups to subjugate them. But even when they increased their military forces with the establishment of thecommandancia in 1889 with headquarters in Kiangan, they failed to conquer fierce resistance from the Ifugao and in the vicinities of the Spanish garrisons.
The retaliatory attacks of the Ifugaos against the Spaniards ultimately resulted in the weakening of the Spanish forces in Ifugao. This, in turn, led to the early withdrawal of Spain from Ifugao in 1897, even before the coming of the Americans to the place in 1902.
The Americans, after years of military campaigns coupled with a policy of attraction, finally pacified the Ifugao. Created as a sub-province under Mt. Province in 1905, Ifugao remained in such status until 1966.
With the enactment of R.A. 4695 in June of that year, the old Mt. Province was divided into four provinces, namely: Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga-Apayao and Mt. Province, the last being constituted of the former sub-province of Bontoc. (Kalinga and Apayao became separate provinces in 1996.)
The economy of the province is agriculture based, with the municipalities of Lamut and Lista leading in the production of rice and corn. Rice production in the terraces is hardly enough to sustain the need for the staple in the other towns, so the people engage in other income producing activities. Vegetable raising is a major industry in the Asipulo-Kiangan area, while woodcarving is the main home industry in Banaue and Hungduan.
Basketry and cloth weaving are done in several places. Much of the cash income of many people comes from employment in local and national government offices. Cooperatives of various types are now making a big impact in the economic development of the province.
A relaxing view of Batad Rice Terraces located at Ifugao
For many year, Ifugao, particularly Banaue, has been one of the popular tourist destinations in the Philippines. In recent years, some of the towns, like Hungduan and Kiangan, began taking serious steps to develop and promote culture-based and environment-friendly tourism in their own areas.

Use of ICTs for Capacity Building in the ODL System
Garg, Suresh
PCF4 // Education is an organic entity; it dynamically evolves to meet new and emerging requirements. Therefore, the education system in general and every institution in particular is expected to introspect constantly to evaluate its relevance in contemporary scenario. The emergence of knowledge society powered by revolutionary developments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and their integrated applications in delivery of education in the 21 st century has changed the pace of transformation. Now knowledge, rather than labour and capital, is the basic resource to create wealth. The range of media and tools that have become available to us for transmission, storage and retrieval of data are amazing in terms of their efficiency, versatility flexibility, economy and productivity. These have enhanced the reach of the word of mouth to such an extent that now omnipresent (any where, any time) education for all and life long learning for continuous professional development have become a reality. The Internet mediated virtual conferencing for PCF-4 began a month before the actual event; the University of the South Pacific manages to reach its learners on isolated atolls in the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean through satellite based USPNET and the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) presents the best teachers simultaneously to its entire student population inhabitating backhole districts, Andaman and Nicobar islands, villages and metro cities all over the country through 134 video-conferencing centres, more than 800 teleconferencing centres, 26 FM radio stations under Gyan Vani cooperative, four educational TV channels under Gyan Darshan , 186 radio stations of All India Radio and 486 community based Information Centres in the North-East. // IGNOU is singularly privileged and placed; it has already digitised its learning materials and placed the same in the electronic repository, named, eGyan Kosh . It is also participating in the Ministry of Human Resource Development, GoI initiative of one stop Educational Portal – Sakshat – for students of all levels (K20) and achievements as well as other knowledge workers for indigenous capacity building. The best e-materials developed in-country are being uploaded and those available as open resource are being hyper-linked. To facilitate free access of these resources to students, broadband connectivity is being provided by GoI to all schools, colleges and university departments at no cost to them. This has genesis in the belief that deploying latest ICTs will facilitate equitable access to educational opportunities to all and help indigenous capacity building and raise the standard of education and training, particularly to those engaged in learning at a distance, and equip the society for meeting tomorrow's needs at work. // Paper ID 469

A lecture on the development of science of the standard model of high energy particle physics given to some of the CERN faculty for a demonstration of how this kind of complex science should be lectured to those with any level of science/physics background from laypeople to experts who want to keep up with current discoveries outside their field. Professor Brian Cox of Manchester University and contributor to the LHC's ATLAS and LHCb experiments, is one of the best public educators of physics of our time. He has a huge charisma and character to keep an audience's attention to fundamental topics in physics, keeping the sense of wonder but always keeping the real core of the subject intact - which is genuinely hard to do as in the process of teaching a subject like physics either the wonder gets sucked out and replaced with dry rhetoric or else the content gets sucked out and replaced with whimsical nonsense - Professor Cox helps create the balance in the same vein as other great popularizers of physics such as Carl Sagan and Richard Feynman. His talks are always very good and try to include as many people as possible into scientific discovery and the wonders of nature which shape our individual understanding and our civilization into new frontiers. Any of his tv series, including "Wonders of the Solar System", and his books including my favorite "The Quantum Universe: Everything That Can Happen Does Happen", co-authored by Jeff Forshaw are also must haves for any scientist young or old.

With some of the world's most fascinating fossils in hand Brian considers how, but for an apparently obscure moment in the early evolutionary history of life, all the secrets of light may have remained hidden. Because although the universe is bathed in light that carries extraordinary amounts of information about where we come from, it would have remained invisible without a crucial evolutionary development that allowed us to see. Only because of that development can we now observe, capture and contemplate the incredible wonders of the universe that we inhabit.

In the last episode of Professor Brian Cox's epic journey across the universe, he travels from the fossils of the Burgess Shale to the sands of the oldest desert in the world to show how light holds the key to our understanding of the whole universe, including our own deepest origins. To understand how light holds the key to the story of the universe, you first have to understand its peculiar properties. The man who first grasped these properties was Danish astronomer Ole Rømer, who in 1676 made the first quantitative measurements of the speed of light.

In the second stop in his exploration of the wonders of the universe, Professor Brian Cox goes in search of humanity's very essence to answer the biggest questions of all: what are we? And where do we come from? This film is the story of matter - the stuff of which we are all made. Brian reveals how our origins are entwined with the life cycle of the stars. But he begins his journey here on Earth.
January of 2013 will see the broadcast of the third incarnation in the critically acclaimed "Wonders Of" science series presented by Physicist Brian Cox. Following the highly popular Wonders of the Solar System and Wonders of the Universe which were jointly funded by the BBC and the Discovery channel, BBC Worldwide has now teamed up with China's CCTV network. Together they have produced the new series -- Wonders of Life. In a change to the first two series which both focused on what lies beyond our planet, Wonders of Life takes a look at the natural life that surrounds us right here on planet Earth. Once again we will be guided by the calmly, enthusiastic Professor Brian Cox who has a knack for explaining the most complex and confusing subjects in science without seeming to overload your brain or bore you. Many science TV shows can sometimes make you feel more like you are studying at a university lecture. However thanks to the skills of Professor Cox and the big budget productions the "Wonders Of" shows feel more like a blockbuster movie than a lecture and I certainly mean that in a good way. Even when Prof Brian Cox began describing the known workings of black holes and the singularity in Wonders of the Universe I could still just about follow him, just. This was almost certainly helped by the beautiful visual aids of the cutting edge Computer Generated Imagery and after all that's one of the things viewers love so much about these shows, the way they get you thinking and stretch your imagination. Thanks to the big budget that comes with a joint production we are once again being treated to some spectacular locations and scenery in Wonders of Life, this time all filmed for real with no CGI needed. We'll see Brian visit many spectacular and beautiful places including the flooded Taal Volcano on the Philippine island of Luzon, the Australian outback and the Borneo rainforests. For the most part though WOL doesn't focus on the Earth itself but more the amazing and sometimes weird creatures that call it home. From the Christmas Island Robber Crab to the Mantis Shrimp, this is certainly not your run of the mill nature show.
